第二部分: 阅读理解（共两节, 满分35分）
第一节（共10小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I'll always remember that day in 1994 when I received a call from my friend Jack. “Hey, Bill, " he said. "I'm going to end the Christmas lighting business. Would your sons be interested in making a few dollars over Christmas vacation?"
I had two sons in college, and Jack explained that he had many customers who paid him to string（串联）lights at their homes. He said he’d sell me the lights for only $ 300. I thought it was a great idea because my sons could earn some money to help with their expenses, but they weren't especially interested. Unwillingly, they agreed to work over their vacations from school.
Jack drove his car to my home and unloaded boxes and boxes of Christmas lights and various other decorations. Since the lights weren't new, they all had to be tested before installation(安装). I also started calling customers to set up installation dates. It seemed everybody wanted it done at the same time. This meant we'd have to start early each day and work long hours to complete all the jobs in the few weekends before Christmas. That doesn't really fit in with the schedule of 20-year-olds who go out every night. So on most mornings, I'd be up before the sun and head out to start decorating alone. My sons did help, but all I remember are the times I spent alone. When it was time to take down the decorations, the boys were back in school and that also became my job.
We made some money the first few years, but each year, the complaints increased. Each year, we lost customers. One day a homeowner in Eaton's Neck told us that if we didn't take down his lights soon, he'd take them down himself and keep them. That was the last year of our business.
21. What was the main purpose of Jack's call?
A. To hand over his business.
B. To find a business partner.
C. To help him make some profits.
D. To donate some Christmas decorations.
22. Why did the author get up early on most mornings?
A. To avoid the traffic jam.
B. To finish testing the lights.
C. To satisfy the customers’ demands.
D. To fit in with his son’s schedule.
23. What does the passage imply about the author’s lighting business?
A. It ended for a bigger business.
B. It didn’t go well in the end.
C. He always depended on his sons.
D. He didn’t make any money from it.

B
There have been a lot of reports recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology for the world. But what is this technology and how might it change our lives?
5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the development of technology to replace the current 4G system. 4G was the replacement for 3G, which came after 2G, and so on. Earlier "G" systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity（容量）. The new 5G system promises more of the same. However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different than the earlier systems. It will move well beyond mobile network technology to affect many more devices and industries than other "G" versions.
Wireless industry groups say 5G will help fuel future "smart cities" by connecting sensor（传感器）networks. 5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality. Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.
Every coin has two sides.  Much of the data could contain private details about individuals, businesses or government organizations. The increased data flow would give internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data. In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety as well as world economic activity.
24. What major effects will 5G have on our lives?
A. It will influence more devices and industries.
B. It will improve internet speed and network capacity.
C. It will be under the control of mobile network technology.
D. It will contribute to the mobile communication operations.
25.What can we learn about "smart cities" from the passage?
A. Smart city is only based on wireless industry.
B. Self-driving cars have been in wide use in smart cities.
C. Many smart cities have been built all over the world.
D. The development of 5G promotes the construction of smart cities.
26.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The function of 5G technology.
B. The future of 5G technology.
C. The possible risks of 5G technology.
D. The advantages of 5G technology.
27.What’s the author’s attitude towards 5G?
A. Indifferent. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Negative.

C
Cortana, Alexa, Siri, These are names of robotic voices that are often programmed on electronic tablets. They also become default (默认) identities for people with speech disorders who rely on technology to communicate. Now some speech scientists are developing personalized voices to reflect the broader diversity of the people who use them. To do it, they are tapping into a vast network of volunteers who are donating their voices to share with people who can’t speak.
The effort to build an international “Human Voicebank” has attracted more than 17,000 volunteers from 110 countries, including Priyanka Pandya, a 16-year-old from Columbia, Md., who plans to spend her winter vacation recording a string of sentences into her computer “To be able to give somebody the gift of voice, I think that’s really, really powerful,” she said.
“Everyone has a voice,” said Rupal Patel, founder of Vocalic, the company that started the voicebank. “Even people who are unable to speak have sounds that are unique to them.” Her company designs personalized voices by recording the unique sounds of the user, and then mixing them with 6 to 10 hours of recordings from a voice donor, matched by age, gender and region. The company is developing voices now for its first 100 customers.
Also, people’s voices change. The company is looking for donors who are willing to record their voices, and then record them again a few years later, as they get older.
Some of the first customers say they are happy with the results, John A. Gregoire was one of the first customers to receive a personalized voice from Vocalic last December. The voice came eight years after he developed ALS (肌萎缩侧索硬化症) and more than six years have passed since his voice became unintelligible to everyone except his wife and youngest son. “Having a distinctive voice is like getting something back that was stolen.” John said.
28. What can we know about the voicebank?
A. It collects all kinds of voices.
B. It is widely supported by public .
C. It helps to recognize special voices.
D. It is designed for people of all ages.
29. What does the underlined word “unintelligible” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Unclear. B. Gentle. C. Cold. D. Unkind.
30. What could be the best title of the text?
A.Volunteers donate their voices to Vocalic.
B. Vocalic is devoted to building a voicebank.
C. Voicebank wins fame among with speech problems .
D. Voicebank can benefit people with speech problems .

“You are what you eat.” 31 . But the opposite is also true. In fact, if you’re between the ages of 10 and 19, eating too much junk food can harm your body and your brain.
Junk food shapes adolescent brains in ways that impair their ability to think, learn and remember. It can also make it harder to control impulsive behaviors, says Amy Reichelt. 32 .
窗体底端
She and two other researchers at Western recently reviewed more than 100 studies (including their own) about how poor food choices can impact adolescent brains.
They discovered one problem: Adolescent brains are not yet fully formed. 33 . First, adolescent brains are still developing the ability to assess risks and control actions. Second, teen brains get more pleasure than adult brains do from rewarding behaviors such as eating junk food. Third, adolescent brains can be more easily influenced by their environment. 34 . It can also be influenced by diet. Together, these all can combine to make junk food both hard to resist and extra bad for teen health.
Other researchers have found links between brain health and what teenage kids eat. Felice Jacka is one of them. She is an expert in nutrition and psychiatry at Deakin University in Victoria, Australia.
In one 2013 study, she and her team recruited more than 2,000 11- to 14-year-olds living in London, England. They analyzed their emotions and behavior over the previous two weeks in the research. The researchers scored each kid’s answers for signs of depression, and found adolescents who ate the most junk food were nearly 50 percent more likely to show signs of depression.
35 . The data are unclear. Some research suggests that processed foods, such as lunch meat, increases inflammation（炎症）in the body and the brain. Inflammation is one of the body’s responses to cellular injury and involves swelling. Other research has linked inflammation with depression.

A. Why might eating junk food be linked to depression?
B. This can include any stress you’re feeling, any isolation or any drugs you may be taking.
C. And that actually leads to three problems.
D. When people say that, they mean a healthy diet can boost your health.
E. That means eating junk food does harm to adolescent health.
F. It may even up a teen’s risk of depression and anxiety, she notes.
G. Why should adolescents resist eating junk food?

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Caitlyn stepped into the warm, wet sand and wiggled her toes. The white, foamy waves raced over her feet and up her legs and then pulled back again. Caitlyn loved playing in the ocean water.
“Ouch!” said the girl, as her foot stepped on something hard. She looked down. At the bottom of the ocean was a large shell. Caitlyn bent down to pick it up. It was a pretty pink conch shell with points and curves and an opening that looked like a horn. She held it up to her ear, hoping to hear the whooshing sound for which they were known. Instead, she heard something quite different.
“Hey kid! How are you doing? Want to hear a joke?”
Caitlyn nearly dropped the shell. Holding it back up to her head, she tried again.
“What’s the most musical part of a fish?” the shell asked.
“I – I don’t know,” Caitlyn whispered.
“Their scales! Ha, ha!” laughed the shell. Caitlyn looked around to see if anyone was looking at her. They weren’t.
“I’m just getting warmed up, kid! Why don’t fish play basketball?” It seemed to be waiting for a reply.
“Uh, I’m not sure?” Caitlyn said. Was she dreaming?
The shell answered its own joke. “Because they are afraid of the net! Ha, ha!” Caitlyn had to laugh. Okay, that was sort of funny.
The girl giggled. On and on the conch shell talked with her. For the rest of the week, Caitlyn would walk into the shallow water and sit with the shell held against her ear.She smiled and chuckled as it whispered corny jokes.
On the last day of her vacation, Caitlyn decided she couldn’t leave the shell behind. “You’re coming home with me,” she said to the pretty shell. She thought it would be happy. It wasn’t. “My home is in the ocean,” it replied, without any laughter in its voice.

M: Where are you going, Jane?
W: ⑪I’m going to the hospital to see Susan Green.
M: I saw her yesterday. She was a little better.
W: Must I catch a No.7 bus to get there?
M: No, you needn’t. A No.13 bus will also take you to the hospital.
W: No. ⑫13 buses run much more frequently, don’t they?
M: ⑫Yes. I caught a No.7 bus yesterday, and I had to wait for half an hour at the bus
stop.
W: Thank you, Henry. ⑬I’ll get a No.13.
M: But No.13 buses leave from the center of town. You’ll have to walk two miles to catch
one.

W: We’re very lucky to have tickets for this show match, Toby. Can you believe we’ll be
watching ⑭England playing against Germany in a few minutes?

on television! I can’t wait to see all the English footballers.

watching them while we can!

W: ⑳There are a lot of differences between Chinese and Western ways of eating. Chinese
use chopsticks to help themselves to almost everything except soup, but westerners use a
knife and fork. When treating guests, Chinese tend to prepare more than the people can
manage, while the westerners would just offer the amount they can manage. Furthermore,
⑲Chinese hosts and hostesses tend to show their hospitality by persuading the guests to
have more and more; in contrast, the western hosts and hostesses will express their
friendliness by saying “Help yourself.” Moreover, Chinese will insist on offering the guests
food or drinks, even though the guests have had enough. The westerners will not go on giving
offers if the guests say they have had enough. ⑳There are quite a number of differences
between Chinese and Western ways of eating and I have just mentioned a few of them.
