第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Growing up, pretty much everyone has been in a classroom where a student gets caught with something they shouldn't have brought to school, and then the teacher confiscates the item. That common scene played out one day at a junior high school in the town of Mikasa, Japan, with a male student whose name hasn't been released, whom we'll call “Taro”.

It's not clear what exactly was confiscated from Taro, but whatever it was, he wanted it back. So last week, while the school was closed for winter vacation, Taro, accompanied by his girlfriend, stole into the school,  with his eventual goal to recover his stuff. The two managed to get inside one of the school's staff rooms,  but it wasn't long until an employee who was in the building heard them talking loudly and called the police.

Getting the police involved, which was opposed to calling the couple's parents and telling them to come to pick up their misbehaving children, might seem like overkill. And the police arrested them instead of suspending them from school. The thing is, though, Taro is 63 years old, and his girlfriend is 58.Yes,both of them attended the middle school they broke into, but they also both graduated from it well over 40 years ago.

Whatever his teacher took from him also appears to be something he holds close in his heart, considering the lengths he went to to attempt to recover it. It's unclear whether or not he expected the trading card, dirty magazine, Game Boy, or whatever the item was, to still be sitting in a storage room after more than four decades, but he also said he was hoping to find his teacher's contact information in the school's files, perhaps in order to personally ask him to return it.

Still, considering his current age, it seems that the wiser thing for Taro to do would have been to simply call the school or walk in like a fully grown adult and politely ask for his stuff back. As for why he didn't, both Taro and his girlfriend were intoxicated at the time of their arrest, so it looks like this may be a case of two people recalling their student days while getting both liquored and worked up, and then deciding “We should break into the school and get my stuff back!”, which is the sort of thing that really only ever sounds like a good idea to teenagers and drunk people.

21. Why did the man break into the school?

A.Because he missed his youth and wanted to revisit the school he attended decades ago.

B.Because he planned to find out which teacher took away his stuff when he was young.

C.Because he intended to break into the storage room of the school to get this stuff back.

D.Because he wanted to recover something taken away by his middle school teacher.

22.The author of the passage may believe that          .

A.it was immoral for the teachers to take away students' personal belongings

B.Taro held the stuff his teacher took away dear given his efforts to have it back

C.the employ's reaction of calling the police to report the incident was necessary

D.Taro should have considered his age before taking action to break into the school

23.The underlined word "intoxicated" probably means                          .

A.drug-addicted    B.guilty    C.drunk    D.embarrassed

B

99 smartphones in a small cart（手推车）．That＇s all it took Simon Weckert，a German artist，to trick the Google Maps traffic algorithm（算法）to generate a fake traffic jam in the streets of Berlin （just in front of the Google office in the German capital).

The smartphones were all connected to the network and with location services activated. The mobiles were connected to Google Maps in driving mode, as if they were on board of driving vehicles. The artist pushed the cart along the streets of the city, walking on a slow pace and stopping every now and then.

For the regular person passing by, they would just see a man pulling a cart full of phones, as if he was walking his dog. However,  Google Maps saw differently. For the Google Maps navigation algorithm, this smartphone-full cart appeared as 99 cars, almost not moving at all. Thus, the algorithm decided the street must be collapsed and the fake traffic jam became alive. Therefore, Google Maps turns the street from green (light traffic) to red(heavy/not moving traffic),as it has been shown in the Google Maps website.

Google Maps is a very popular application among drivers. Its navigation algorithm has very accurate real time traffic information, in most cases more up to date than most of the car's built-in navigators. At the core of this accuracy lies the crowdsourcing algorithm: the data from all the users of the app is being collected and used real-time to identify the congestion of the roads.

With its powerful crowdsourcing-based navigation algorithm, Google Maps can outperform the car built-in navigation application, especially if the latter is not connected to the Internet. However, the crowdsourcing is exactly what Simon Weckert used to exploit for his Google Maps trick.

The Google Maps trick is definitely a curious example on how technology influences our lives today and how someone can use it to influence other people. Of course, in this case the artist's intention was just to make society aware of his point. But someone could also exploit similar technological weak points with other ill intentions.

Google had this to say in response to the “trick”: Whether via car or cart or camel, we love seeing creative uses of Google Maps as it helps us make maps work better over time. The company also reassured to make maps as accurate as possible. Google also pointed out in a jokey fashion that it can distinguish between cars and motorcycles in some regions around the world-but it hasn't figured out a way for carts yet.

24.What can we know from the passage?

A. The smartphones' driving mode was on so that they could be put on driving vehicles.

B.  Staying online, the car built-in navigation application performs better than Google Maps.

C.  Google considered this event as a reminder that they need to improve their service further.

D.  The artist aimed to use this trick to warn people not to be influenced by high technology.

25.What do we know about Google Maps navigation algorithm?

A. It can use the data collected from the app users to generate accurate traffic information.

B.  Simon Weckert has no idea as to how the Google Maps navigation algorithm works.

C.  The traffic information from the Google Maps is shown to the app users with a short delay.

D.  Crowdsourcing algorithm has little impact on the accuracy of the Google Maps.

26.It can be inferred from Paragraph 6 that    

A. people want to figure out how technology, like Google Maps,  can affect people's life

B. the artist tricked Google Maps in order to raise the awareness of tech companies

C.  the author of the passage believes the artist did a good job in achieving his goal

D.  people should be cautious about the fact that technology may be used for bad purposes

27.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Google Maps:  accurate yet easy to be tricked

B.  Simon Weckert,  a successful artist tricking Google

C.  Artist fooled Google Maps with fake traffic jams

D.  Watch out for the bad intentions behind high tech

C

In her 2018 memoir, Educated, Tara Westover,  shared her incredible life story. She told of being raised by parents who did not permit her to go to school or see a doctor. In spite of it all and the accompanying poverty and pain, she  went on to go to Brigham Young University (her first class there was her first experience in a classroom) and then on to Cambridge University and ultimately becoming a bestselling author. It took a great deal of courage for her to share her story.

This week she wrote something that, I would argue, took even more courage. In her New York Times essay, “I Am Not Proof of the American Dream,” she sought not to re-write her life story but to correct how others have chosen to interpret it.

Writing, “A curious thing happens when you offer up your life for public consumption: People start to interpret your biography, to explain to you what they think it means.” Some tell her, “You are living proof of the American dream that absolutely anything is possible for anybody.”

She goes on to explain how her journey was only made possible through affordable public colleges and generous Pell Grants（资助金），saying that the access and impact of both has been shrunk. To bring her point home she notes that the cost of public universities has doubled since she went to school and Pell Grants previously covered almost 70% of costs vs.  the less than 30% they cover today.

Westover performs a valuable public service in this essay, perhaps at some personal costs. We are drawn to “rags to riches" stories like hers. We want her to be the hero, a role model for others to follow, to be yet one more example that hard work is the primary, if not only, engine of our success. By taking back her story and pointing out with glaring clarity what others may have missed, she offers a clearer path for others to follow and provides realistic solutions our country can take to make that path possible for more.

In closing she writes, “For my part, I will begin by telling my own story differently-by abandoning that fashionable old legend that reduces any tale of success to one of determination and diligence. I will admit that, to be frank, it was an easier time, and things were better. Our institutions were better. Perhaps that is what the story is about. There is the one thing I learned when I cashed that check sent by Pell Grants: that people cannot always be strong again after a difficult situation, but a country can. ”

Her essay is the perfect example of what I hope to achieve through much of my own work to help others see and share our stories differently, one that includes not only our own effort but all those other factors that

contributed to our journey, in the hopes that it can create a more realistic roadmap for others to follow and

support.

28. In her new essay, Tara Westover owed her life success to                        .

A.  inexpensive education and plentiful financial support from the country

B. determination and diligence

C.  her loving parents and caring college teachers

D.  hard work and better educational institutions

29.Why does the author say Westover “performs a valuable public service in this essay, perhaps at some personal costs”?

A.Because she explodes the myth that hard work is the only cause of personal success.

B. Because she abandons her image as a self-made hero to help others to see the problem.

C.Because she may suffer financial loss by uncovering the truth to her potential readers.

D.Because she points out a clearer path for others to follow and offers practical solutions.

30.According to the passage, what solution may Westover offer?

A. Individuals should make more efforts to make their life a success.

B.Students' parents should provide support for their college kids.

C.The government should increase funding to public universities.

D.Public education should be operated as businesses for profit.

31.What attitude does the author have towards Tara Westover?

A.Practical.     B.Optimistic.  C.Neutral.   D.Favorable.

D

Scientists have long sought to prevent sharp memories from dulling with age, but the problem is hard to solve. New research suggests Virtual Reality (VR) might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.

The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half of the participants, the experimental group, spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth. They wore headsets and walked in place, wandering virtual neighborhoods while completing missions. The other half, the control group, used computers to play games that did not require navigating or recalling details. After 15 sessions, the latter performed much the same as before on a long-term memory test based on picking out objects they had seen about an hour earlier. But the Labyrinth players' scores rose, and they were less frequently tricked by objects that were similar to ones they had viewed.

“The improvement brought them back up to the level of another group of younger adults who did the same memory tests,” said cognitive neuroscientist Peter Wais of the University of California, San Francisco. He and his colleagues designed the VR game, which they said likely stimulates the hippocampus- a brain area that is important for long-term memory. The team did not observe improvement on two other tests, which measured autobiographical memory（自传体记忆）and spatial memory capability.

“It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory,”  said Meredith Thompson, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology education researcher. Daniel Simons, a cognitive psychologist, said that testing three measures, instead of just one, would increase the possibility of finding an improvement. And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might translate to real-world situations. Simons notes, “The outcome needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it is treated as a strong finding.”

Wais's team is now investigating how long the observed effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact.

32.The purpose of this study is to    

A.  promote the development of Virtual Reality technology

B.see if the designed VR could help improve long-term memory

C.test the navigating function of VR headsets on old adults

D.appeal to people suffering from memory loss to play more VR games

33.What is true about the experimental group?

A.They achieved improvement in long-term memory after the experiment.

B.They played the designed VR game and completed navigating tasks.

C.They were better at long-term memory than young adults.

D. They made more mistakes in picking out objects among the similar ones.

34.What can we know from Daniel Simons'  words?

A.“VR gamers" in the study experienced improvement of the senior's long-term memory.

B. The experimenting time should be long enough so that reliable results can be obtained.

C. The findings might not be valid enough due to the lab setting and number of participants.

D. It is impossible for scientists to apply the research findings to the situations in real life.

35. In which column are we likely to read this article?

A.  Aged Care Space        B.21st Century Psychology

C.  Stock Market ABCs        D. Science for Better Life

Thich Nhat Hanh, one of the most influential Buddhist leaders who popularized mindfulness in the West, said walking was not simply a way to get from one place to another, or an activity to be reserved for a perfect forest path.36             

Thich Nhat Hanh believed that the Earth is sacred, so wherever someone walks, they can be reminded of this spiritual connection while also uniting their mind with their body._37_It is a key part of every visit to the 11 Plum Village monasteries he founded around the world. He taught that people's true homes are located in the present moment, through awareness of their steps on the Earth, their bodies, and their minds. Walking meditation brings practitioners back to this solid grounding.

Here are the steps of walking meditation as it is done in the Plum Village tradition:

Take a moment to breathe and center your body in the space you are about to walk.38    In “We're All Moving," for example, the group sings, “We're all moving on a journey to nowhere, taking it easy, taking it slow. No more worries, no need to hurry, nothing to carry, let it all go.”

39     Walk in a slow, relaxed way,  preferably with a light smile. Think about the miracle of being alive and being able to step on Mother Earth, repeating these phrases: “Breathing in,  I know Mother Earth is in me. Breathing out,  I know I am in Mother Earth.”

Take one breath per step,  focusing on your foot touching the Earth. 40 The point is to find a connection between your breathing and your steps.

Instead of sitting meditation, Thich Nhat Hanh's practices emphasize adding mindfulness to daily life anytime, anywhere. By incorporating walking meditation into a daily or weekly schedule, every step can be part of a deeper practice of interbeing.

A. One of his best-loved teachings is walking meditation.

B. At Plum Village practice centers, monks and nuns lead participants in singing a few mindfulness songs before starting.

C. It could be a profound practice putting people in touch with their breath, their bodies, the Earth-an awareness of what he called “interbeing”.

D. You can also notice how many steps you take while breathing in and then breathing out, naturally.

E. While walking, be mindful of your breath and your footsteps.

F.  Adopt a positive attitude towards life and death while walking.

G. Walking meditation has now become popular in the West and Vietnam.

As an old saying goes, “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with it. ”Why is it difficult to define, or rather discover and achieve happiness? I maintain the major determinant lies from a person's attitudes.

There is much connection between the circumstance of people's lives and how happy they are. Instead, happiness comes with the struggle to be happy. People sometimes go to extremes, and wildly pursue money, high social status, and so on,  those are all symbols of success-but never of happiness. Perhaps if they shifted their life goals from success to efforts and to confidence that they will be successful one day they would be a great deal happy.

How can we achieve happiness? There is little doubt whether various people have diverse ways of going about this task. As for me, the most significant secret is realizing that happiness is by-product of something else. The most obvious sources are those pursuits that gave our lives a purpose. These can be anything from playing the basketball to studying insects. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are likely to experience.
