第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分)

第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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。

A

One of the best advantages of technological advancements is the fact that it has given us so much more freedom in the way we work. That so many jobs can be done remotely means you can travel and work from anywhere you want in the world. Here are some of the best cities to live and work in.

Tallinn, Estonia

Often overlooked as a tourist destination, Tallinn has become known as Europe's next Silicon Valley. Not only that, it is absolutely amazing. The Old Town has been named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is full of Gothic architecture and lots of historical landmarks.

Budapest, Hungary

Budapest is an ideal city for anyone who is crazy about wandering. It has a diverse culture, delicious and affordable food, and best of all, a low cost of living compared to other major cities. Its Neo­Renaissance architecture has made it one of Europe's most beautiful cities.

Da Nang, Vietnam

Unlike large cities like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, Da Nang's advantage is that it is still pretty unknown to many people. That means there are fewer tourists while still providing the same attractions of a big noisy city. Enjoy the most delicious food, buy fresh coconuts on the beach, and rent a motorbike and drive over Hai Van Pass.

Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon is becoming popular as a co­working community, and it's clear why so many flooded into this city. With 300 days of sunshine each year, unbelievable nightlife, and delicious food, there are certainly worthwhile places to spend your time at. Lisbon has a growing tech scene but is still very leisurely.

21．What do Tallinn and Budapest have in common?

A．Their living cost is low. 

B．They have beautiful architecture. 

C．They are famous technology centers. 

D．They are listed in the UNESCO World Heritage.

22．Which country is the city offering a beach tour located in?

A．Estonia.  B．Vietnam.  C．Hungary.  D．Portugal.

23．What is unique about Lisbon?

A．It offers delicious food.  B．It is a quiet European city. 

C．It is famous for beautiful scenery.  D．It enjoys sunshine most of the year.

B

With less than half a mile to go at a recent 5K race, Western Boone High School student Levi LaGrange twisted(扭伤) his ankle. “I was running up this little rolling hill... and I rolled my ankle and felt something go ‘pop’，” he told the Indy Star.

LaGrange saw Sheridan High School senior Axel Aleman pass him, but at that moment, the race became a secondary concern for Aleman. “I was able to see he was in a lot of pain，” Aleman recalled.

Rather than running ahead, in an extraordinary act of true sportsmanship, Aleman refused to leave LaGrange behind. “As soon as I saw him, I knew I had to do something right，” Aleman said. “That mattered more than the race.”

Placing an encouraging hand at his competitor's back, Aleman went along with LaGrange for the rest of the race. The two were the last to cross the finish line. Aleman even made sure LaGrange went first.

LaGrange's mother, Becky, was more than a little bit impressed by Aleman's thoughtful gesture—especially since the two had never met before. “It takes a lot for an 18­year­old to give up his spot，” she said. “Aleman never left his side. It really speaks to Aleman's character. It was really a great moment of sportsmanship.”

Aleman's own mother, Nikki, was not at all surprised by her son's natural show of goodwill. “He's a really kind person and he's always thinking more of others than himself，” she said.

After reports of the incident began to make the rounds on social media, Aleman received lots of positive feedback. While he might have enjoyed the praises from others, for him, the reward was invaluable. When you're standing at a crossroad—or running by it—you can choose the path of self­interest, or you can go the extra mile for someone in need. For this teen athlete, the choice was clear­cut.

24．What can be known from the text?

A．Aleman used to be champion in 5K race. 

B．LaGrange was the last to finish the race. 

C．Aleman valued sportsmanship over race. 

D．Aleman and LaGrange were schoolmates.

25．What did Aleman do for LaGrange?

A．Grasped LaGrange's hand.  B．Accompanied LaGrange forward. 

C．Took LaGrange to have a rest.  D．Carried LaGrange on his back.

26．What kind of person is Aleman?

A．Helpful and selfless.  B．Positive and hardworking. 

C．Humorous and easygoing.  D．Determined and outgoing.

27．What is the text mainly about?

A．An injured competitor lost the race. 

B．A true friend helped his companion in need. 

C．Sportsmanship was shown by a teenager's strong will. 

D．A teen athlete gives up race to help an injured competitor.

C

Sunday Bakeshop in Oakland, California, makes foods that mix American and Asian cultures. The restaurant makes foods that are cooked or baked in an oven. Many of them are sweet. For example, the shop sells something called a dim sum cookie. It looks like a sugar cookie but has sesame(芝麻) seeds on top and sweetened red beans inside. Dim sum is a word for Cantonese foods from southern China.

The dim sum cookie is Elaine Lau's way of honoring her grandmother who would make a kind of food that had a similar taste. Lau's restaurant also makes Chinese White Rabbit candy cookies. Those sweets would not be found in any bakery in Asia but are a mixture of Asian and Western foods. Lau said she speaks to Asian Americans and others at her store. She said: “We get a lot of comments, for example, ‘The cookies are just like little lovely kitties and puppies.’ ‘Oh this took me back to several years ago when I was growing up.’” She added that it was nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries(糕点)．

Bakeries that combine the feeling of growing­up Asians and Americans have been opening up more often in recent years. Traditional Asian ingredients are being mixed with European or American pastries into something new. The creations are a way for young Asian Americans to celebrate their identity.

“Older traditional Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants miss from their home country. The new bakeries celebrate Asian culture and are part of a natural progression，” said Robert Ku, who is an Asian American studies professor at Binghamton University in New York state. He also wrote the book Dubious Gastronomy: The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA.

“The bakers are showing that their foods, which mix cultures, are just as American as apple pie. It's sort of the artistic side of Asian American identity that's often ignored，” Ku said. “They're instead really trying to fuse things together.”

32．What does Lau think of her work?

A．Tiring.  B．Demanding.  C．Confusing.  D．Rewarding.

33．What are the older traditional Asian bakeries trying to do?

A．Create a new way of showing their identities. 

B．Celebrate the Asian culture in foreign countries. 

C．Remind the immigrants of their hometown flavor. 

D．Introduce young Asian Americans to new culture.

34．What does the underlined word “fuse” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Combine.  B．Improve.  C．Invent.  D．Consume.

35．What is the suitable title for the text?

A．Asian American Cookies Become American's Favorite Food 

B．Varieties of New Asian Foods Are Created by American Cooks 

C．Asian American Bakeries Mix Together Cultures to Create New Foods 

D．Traditional Asian Food Becomes Popular with American Young People

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

There are numerous reasons why people don't take First Aid training programs. __36__ Or they think that accidents happen to other people, not to them or their friends, family and colleagues. But if you ask any individual who has already taken a first aid training program if it was worth it, their answer will be “Yes！” Having some basic first aid knowledge is essential and here are the reasons.

__37__

Having a basic first aid knowledge means that you'll be confident in your skills and abilities in relation to first aid administration. By taking first aid training, it helps you to reflect on yourself and how you and others react in certain situations. Having this understanding will boost your confidence in a wide range of non­medical day­to­day situations.

It does more than help save lives.

It's true that having first aid training undoubtedly helps save lives. __38__ Giving appropriate first aid immediately can also help to reduce a person's recovery time and make the difference between the patient having a temporary(短暂的)disability and a long term disability.

It enables you to increase patients' comfort.

Not all accidents, injuries or illnesses require a trip to the hospital but it doesn't mean they don't cause pain and suffering to the patient.__39__ By knowing how to act—even just by employing simple techniques such as applying an ice pack correctly, you'll help to relieve his discomfort.

It gives you tools to prevent the situation from becoming worse.

By being able to provide basic care you can stabilize a patient until emergency medical services arrive. You'll learn how to use basic household items as tools to cope with many situations. You'll also be trained in how to collect information and data about what happened and the patients' condition. This information will be passed on to the emergency services, which saves them time. __40__

A．They are too busy. 

B．However, that's not all.  

C．It creates the confidence to give first aid.  

D．You will be a valuable link in the chain of survival.

I settled on an exercise bike. Since early March, I've hardly __48__ a day on my bike. I'm not the __49__. But I'm finally learning that movement isn't necessarily about athleticism(运动才能).

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My husband and I have experienced a lot along our travels. Either of us can remember every detail of the trip. The most impressive moment that shortly stands out to me is when Doug and I took the public bus from Turtle Bay Resort to Kualoa Ranch in Oahu, Hawaii. We had plans of making some short videos throughout Ka'a'awa Valley where various scenes of Jurassic Park were filmed. I was so excited about this spectacular adventure. As we were catching our flight out of Honolulu later that evening, we didn't have much time to spare. We were on a quite strict schedule. Unfortunately, we ended up lost.

When we got off the bus at a small neighborhood along the single highway, we realized something was wrong. We checked our map and concluded that we exited the bus many stops too soon. Worse still, it began to rain. We wandered around looking for any residents outdoors to ask for directions. The bus wouldn't make its rounds back to our current stop for quite some time. We could either walk several miles to Ka'a'awa Valley and  have no time to make some short videos or wait for the bus to return and still have no time to catch our flight to go on with our planned adventure. Our afternoon was looking awful.

As we angered and complained in front of a local's home, a black SUV pulled up. It turned into the driveway where we had been resting. Doug and I waved, smiled and apologized to the driver for intruding (闯入).  I further explained how we were lost and told her of our plans to go to Kualoa Ranch. However, she didn't say anything as she led her dogs out of the car and into her house.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
