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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When it comes to the UK, London likes to steal all the attention. However, I think we all need a break sometimes from the chaos (喧嚣) of the city - specifically, a trip to one of the UK's national parks. A total of 15 areas in the UK are protected by the government. The parks cover over 23, 00 square kilometres, so where do you begin?
Snowdonia
If you're after a challenge, head over to Snowdonia and climb the highest mountain in Wales. At 1, 085 metres high, the views from Snowdon are spectacular. It will take you 5 - 6 hours to climb up and back down again. If a little mountain climbing isn't your scene, the mountain railway will have you there and back in half the time.
Lake District
For those who feel more at home on the water, the Lake District has over 15 stunning (极美的) lakes. Ullswater is particularly beautiful and the perfect place for scenic boat trips, sailing or canoeing (划独木舟) with friends. Swimming is also popular if you are able to brave the cold. Surrounding the lake are charming villages and vibrant (生机勃勃的) countryside which can be explored on horseback.
White Cliffs of Dover
In the South Downs you'll find one of Britain's most striking views: the White Cliffs of Dover. This is the frst view of England you'll see if arriving by ferry, as long as it's not foggy, of course. Stretching (延伸) for miles between the blue sea and even bluer skies, the pure white cliffs feature 1n many wartime songs and films. Not convinced? Fear not, London is just over an hour away by train.
21. If a visitor wants to enjoy the view of 1085 meters high, how much time does he need at least?
A. 1 hour B. 2. 5 hours C. 5 hours D. 6 hours
22. To travel around villages in the Lake District, tourists can ________.
A. take a train B. ride a horse C. take a ferry D. go on a boat trip
23. What is the purpose of writing the text?
A. To explore the UK's diverse culture
B. To inform readers of the attractions in London
C. To recommend some of the UK's national parks
D. To explain why national parks are popular in the UK
B
I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.
As pulled to a stop, I noticed four leather - jacketed bikers They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother's of the Wheel”, he said. “We are collecting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos (纹身) and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance.
Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.
24. The writer's good mood ended when _________ .
A. he heard news between songs B. he had to stop at a red traffic light
C. he heard a rich man broke the law D. he saw four leather - jacketed kids in need
25. What are four bikers doing at the traffic light?
A. Having a bicycle race in the street B. Selling helmets to the passers - by
C. Preparing for Christmas holidays D. Raising money to help kids in need
26. What does “bolstered” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. Attached B. Improved C. Decreased D. Exploded
27. The writer to tell us that we should ________ .
A. have faith in young people B. change our attitude to society
C. judge others by their actions D. manage to help others in need
C
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries - like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly; English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
28. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _________ .
A. develop closer relations B. share the same culture
C. get to know each other D. keep each other company
29. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________ .
A. too many words are of no use
B. the English prefer to make long speeches
C. even talk and silence can be culturally different
D. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
30. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
A. By sharing different ways of life B. By accepting different habits
C. By speaking each other's languages D. By recognizing different values
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Multicultural Environment B. Cross - Cultural Differences
C. How to Understand Each Other D. How to Build Up a Relationship
D
However exiting space travel sounds, astronauts must still suffer with bad food. Now, food in space has to be dehydrated (使脱水) or pre - cooked and stored. This means astronauts aren't really eating fresh food.
New technology may change this. Scientific American reports that a specially - designed oven will be sent into space this autumn with NASA's NG -12 cargo (货物) mission. Far from the common vacuum-packed (真空包装的) meals, astronauts may get to enjoy freshly baked cookies.
Why aren't they baking cookies in space already?
For one thing, there's the risk of a fire. Engineers also have to overcome the challenge of microgravity, which prevents heat from circling inside ovens the same way it does on Earth. Astronauts will still have to wait a while before they can have their cookies, though. After baking, the results will be sent back to Earth for safety testing. If successful, this will be the first oven to bake food in space. “I believe.... that will be game changing for both science and astronauts,” food technology researcher Maeena Naman Shafiee told Scientific American.
One of the main driving forces behind this project has been NASA's 2018 research into the effects of “confinement (封闭) and isolation (隔离)”. Unlike on the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts traveling out of Earth's orbit (轨道) may not be able to speak to their loved ones on future missions, which could lead to negative feelings.
It's hoped that the chance to bake and sense familiar smells can bring joy to crews (宇航人员). “Is the ISS going to smell like fresh-baked cookies? We don't know.” said NanoRacks' communications manager Abby Dickes. “But that's a feeling we all know and love . . . that will make someone feel at home.”
Baking cookies in space would mark an important step, offering a small comfort in the difficult and unfamiliar environment of space travel. Astronauts have already grown plants aboard the ISS.
With commercial (商业的) space travel now being planned, who knows what other developments may surprise us in the future?
32. What can the new technology help astronauts to do in space?
A. Store more food B. Enjoy fresh cookies
C. Quickly prepare food D. Keep food from going bad
33. Why is it difficult to bake cookies in space?
A. It's difficult and costly to send food into space
B. Microgravity stops food from staying in one place
C. Baking cookies in space would pollute the spaceships
D. It is hard to heat food properly because of microgravity
34. What can we infer from Abby Dickes' words?
A. Astronauts on the ISS suffer a lot
B. The ISS will be made cookie shaped
C. The effort of making freshly baked cookies in space is necessary
D. The astronauts on the ISS took a bite of the cookies made in space
35. What was the main purpose of the cookie project?
A. To improve astronauts' health
B. To make improvements in space travel
C. To encourage more people to travel to space
D. To make space travel more comfortable for astronauts.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A speech is a wonderful opportunity to inform, persuade or entertain. 36 However, before you can go about the writing of a great speech, it is important to set goals. Goals keep you, your speech and your audience focused.
What is a goal?
In the context of a speech, a goal is the purpose of the speech, and what it hopes to accomplish. For example, the goal of a eulogy (颂歌) might be to celebrate the life of a loved one. 37
Why is a goal important?
Without a goal, a speech is without direction. The goal informs the structure and content of the speech. 38 A speech with a goal of informing the audience will keep the information fair and factual.
A goal is incredibly important to the speech's ability to connect with an audience. 39 This severely reduces the effectiveness of the message.
40
If you have been charged with delivering a speech, establishing a goal can seem difficult at first. There are two things to take into consideration. First think about who you will be speaking to. second, think about the topic itself.
A. How to deliver a difficult speech?
B. What to consider to establish a goal?
C. A speech's goal drives the speaker to greater heights.
D. The best speeches often combine all three of these components.
E. The goal of a political speech would be to inform the crowd about the political position.
F. If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech, the audience will likely be unaware as well.
G. If a speech's goal is to convince people, the speech will be structured with persuasive arguments.

Dear Michael,
I’m sorry to know that you are not getting along well with your parents and teachers because you are obsessed with playing basketball. I’m writing to give you some suggestions about it.
First, if I were you, I would stand in my parents’ shoes and communicate sincerely with my parents about my enthusiasm for football. Besides, making a plan can also be a sensible choice when it comes to improving efficiency. In addition, it would be beneficial if you could strike a balance between study and play.
I hope my advice will be of value to you and you’ll get good grades without quitting your hobby.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

What is it like to travel in space? If you have ever watched space movies, you may know something about it. Aurora Station is the world’s first space hotel. US company Orion Span built the hotel. The hotel is around 12 feet wide and 35 feet long. It plans to welcome its first guests in 2022. It will fly 320 kilometers above Earth. It can hold six people at a time. Two of them will be workers. They may be former NASA astronauts. Each trip aboard the station will last for 12 days. Guests there will be able to do many interesting things. For example, they will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours. They can take part in research experiments such as growing food in space. Later, they can bring the food back to earth as a souvenir. These are the same things as astronauts usually do. Guests can also share what they see and hear with others on Earth. They can have a video chat using a high-speed Internet connection. But each guest will have to pay at least $9. 5 million. That’s really a large amount of money.
