第三部分:阅读理解(共两节,32分)
第一节 阅读选择(共12小题;每题2分,共24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
A vacation often means rest and relaxation, but more and more people are looking at traveling as an opportunity to help others and give back.
Don Germaise is a familiar face to many in Tampa Bay, but this former TV reporter’s life has changed a bit. “In the TV business you see the best and the worst the world has to offer, and at some point, it just occurred to me: I just need to do something to make the world a better place,” he explained.
He now travels the world, volunteering his time to help others. “Here’s the best part about a volunteer vacation. You’re not stuck at a hotel doing tours that everyone else does,” Germaise said. “You’re meeting regular people, living with regular people and helping regular people all over the world.”
Travel Writer Joe Miragliotta says that’s exactly why more people are spending time volunteering on vacation. “Travelers, especially millennials (千禧一代) like myself, are becoming more socially conscious when it comes to choosing where they go,” Miragliotta said. “They want to connect with the communities and causes they really care about.”
He recently took some time out of a trip to San Francisco to help out at a local farm. “Here, volunteers are growing healthy foods for the community, and they give it right back for free; and you know you can tend the vegetable gardens, help clean the orchard—lots of fun activities,” Miragliotta explained.
Volunteering doesn’t take up your entire vacation. You can do it for a few hours or even a few days. It’s all up to you. “With a kid...when you do something as simple as giving him or her a pencil when they never had a pencil for school, the look in their eyes is so unbelievable,” Germaise said. “It’s like they got an iPad for Christmas. It’s the greatest feeling in the world.”
29. What do vacations mean to Don Germaise?
A. Having a rest and relaxing. B. Getting an opportunity to travel.
C. Meeting and helping regular people. D. Reporting on what happens around the world.
30. According to Joe Miragliotta, young people __________.
A. are becoming more socially conscious B. find it fun to help in vegetable gardens
C. enjoy taking care of the children around D. are trying to learn more about other people
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It only takes travelers a few hours to do volunteering.
B. Finding a way to help the people in need is not easy.
C. It is impossible for the kids to get an iPad for Christmas.
D. Making a small difference to people’s life is rewarding.
32. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Millennials pay more attention to society.
B. Volunteer vacation is becoming a new trend.
C. Two travelers shared their experiences abroad.
D. Volunteers enjoy popularity among local people.
【答案】29. C 30. A 31. D 32. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文,以Don Germaise为例介绍了在假期做志愿工作正在成为一种新的趋势。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“You’re meeting regular people, living with regular people and helping regular people all over the world.”可知,对Don Germaise来说,假期意味着结识并帮助普通人,故C项正确。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Travelers, especially millennials (千禧一代) like myself, are becoming more socially conscious when it comes to choosing where they go,”可知,乔·米拉格里奥塔认为年轻人越来越有社会意识,故A项正确。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“With a kid...when you do something as simple as giving him or her a pencil when they never had a pencil for school, the look in their eyes is so unbelievable,” Germaise said. “It’s like they got an iPad for Christmas. It’s the greatest feeling in the world.”可知,对于一个孩子,当你做一些简单的事情,比如在他们上学从来没有铅笔的时候给他们一支铅笔,他们眼中的表情是如此难以置信,就像他们圣诞节有一台iPad,这是世界上最伟大的感觉,由此判断出,给人们的生活带来小小的改变是值得的,故D项正确。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段“A vacation often means rest and relaxation, but more and more people are looking at traveling as an opportunity to help others and give back.”及最后一段中的“Volunteering”可知,假期通常意味着休息和放松,但越来越多的人把假期看作是帮助他人和回报他人的机会——他们选择利用假期做志愿工作,因此本文主要介绍的是在假期做志愿工作正在成为一种新的趋势,故B项正确。
【点睛】主旨大意题的难度较大,抓住首尾两段是关键,因为文章主题往往会在首段或末段体现出来,例如本篇第4题,通读全文,特别是根据第一段“A vacation often means rest and relaxation, but more and more people are looking at traveling as an opportunity to help others and give back.”及最后一段中的“Volunteering”可知,假期通常意味着休息和放松,但越来越多的人把假期看作是帮助他人和回报他人的机会——他们选择利用假期做志愿工作,因此本文主要介绍的是在假期做志愿工作正在成为一种新的趋势,故B项正确。

Georiga O’Keeffe always thought of herself as an artist. By 1928, the rest of the world did, too. At the age of 41 she was living in New York City and becoming a well-known painter. Still, O’Keeffe wasn’t happy. New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years. Now those ideas were drying up. O’Keeffe felt like she needed a change. She had visited New Mexico in 1917 with her sister. The wide open space had thrilled her. “Maybe I should go back,” she thought. In April of 1929, O’Keeffe packed her bags.
The wide open space of New Mexico drew O’Keeffe in. She spent hours just watching the sky change. Because the light was so clear, she felt like she could see for the first time. The beauty of the land renewed her. She couldn’t wait to start painting. Cow and horse skulls and desert flowers filled her canvases (画布). The colors of the desert inspired O’Keeffe. As a result, she made new choices in her artwork. “The color up there is different,” she explained. She loved the dusty blues and greens.
That August, O’Keeffe went home to New York. It was the start of a pattern. Each spring, she traveled to New Mexico to paint. These trips restored her spirit. Then, in the fall, she would return to New York. There, she showed her work. Each time O’Keeffe visited New Mexico, she explored a little more.
The bleached animal bones and skulls that O’Keeffe found excited her because she could see their special beauty. The bones didn’t mean death to O’Keeffe. To her, they showed the lasting beauty of the desert. The landscapes, clear light, and bright colors also spoke to her. She often painted close-ups of the rocks and mountains. Later, she began to travel more in search of new ideas. However, she always came back to New Mexico.
As O’Keeffe grew older, her eyesight began to fail. Still, O’Keeffe wasn’t ready to give up. Her friend Juan Hamilton helped her work with watercolors. He also taught her to sculpt. As a result, she made art into her 90s. When she died at the age of 98, Hamilton sprinkled her ashes over the desert. Her body became part of the land that had touched her art and her life.
33. O’Keeffe was unhappy in New York in 1928 because __________.
A. she was lack of the creative ideas B. she felt disappointed about her job
C. she was not successful as an artist D. she felt bored about life in a big city
34. After her trips to New Mexico, O’Keeffe __________.
A. received great reputation there B. discovered the meaning in her life
C. chose to settle down in that country D. got new thoughts from the scenery
35. What can we know about O’Keeffe from the passage?
A. She was never afraid of failure and death. B. She was devoted and passionate about art.
C. She was patient with the coming chances. D. She was curious about the nature of people.
36. Which of the following could be the best title for this article?
A. Lifestyle in the Desert B. Special Love for Art
C. Inspiration from the Desert D. Modern Women Artists
【答案】33. A 34. D 35. B 36. C
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了画家乔治亚奥基夫每年春天都从纽约出发到新墨西哥州的沙漠里挖掘艺术灵感的故事。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years. Now those ideas were drying up.”可知,近十年来,纽约一直是一个很好的创意来源。现在,这些想法正在枯竭,由此可知,1928年,乔治亚奥基夫在纽约生活得并不开心是因为她缺乏创造性的想法,故A项正确。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The beauty of the land renewed her.”及第三段中的“These trips restored her spirit.”可知,新墨西哥州的景色让她精神焕发,给了她新的想法,故D项正确。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As O’Keeffe grew older, her eyesight began to fail. Still, O’Keeffe wasn’t ready to give up. Her friend Juan Hamilton helped her work with watercolors. He also taught her to sculpt. As a result, she made art into her 90s.”可知,随着奥基夫年龄的增长,她的视力开始衰退。不过,奥基夫还不想放弃,她的朋友胡安·汉密尔顿帮助她画水彩,他还教她雕刻,结果,她90多岁时还在从事艺术创作,由此判断出,乔治亚奥基夫对艺术倾注了毕生的热情,故B项正确。
【36题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了乔治亚奥基夫每年春天都从纽约出发到新墨西哥州的沙漠里挖掘艺术灵感的故事,所以“来自沙漠的灵感”为短文最佳标题。故C项正确。
C
“You’ll get square eyes!” my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I ignored her, of course. Past-forward a few decades and now I’m the parent. My 5-year-old lives in a world where screens aren’t fixed pieces of furniture. You can’t even avoid them by going outside. Screens are not only in our pockets; they’re everywhere.
The concerns have grown with the screens. In the past decade, we have heard that they will damage our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted by them, feeling guiltier and more tired as a result.
The apps and websites we can access on our phones have also sparked widespread concern. Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition hooking us on likes, retweets and follower counts. Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism (自恋), which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers. A quick online search brings up dozens of papers linking screen use or social media with harmful effects on mental health, including depression and suicide.
Such statements are alarming. They are also widely believed, thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge, which claims that digital technology has ruined a generation. Yet, Amy Orben at the University of Oxford, who studies the impact of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health, holds different views. She claims that the underlying data can be used to tell different stories. She also spotted shortcomings in several large studies that claimed to show correlations (相关性) between the use of devices with screens and depression in users.
Twenge stands by her own finding, pointing in turn to what she considers flaws in Orben’s research methods. For David Max, at Royal College of Child Health in London, the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative. “We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad,” says Davie. “We don’t know whether in individual cases social media is not responsible,” he says.
The explosion of mobile phone use has revolutionized our lives. I can download movies, write articles, communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button. Rather than impose constraints (限制), we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle.
Every new technology with widespread impact has given rise to new fears. So the best bet may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it. If you find yourself over addictive, don’t panic—and certainly don’t feel guilty. Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about.

【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition, hooking us on likes, retweets and follower counts.”可知,大型科技公司也善于利用我们对社会认同的需求,吸引我们点赞、转发和关注,由此可知,我们点赞、转发和关注是为了寻求社会认同,故C项正确。
【38题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后的““We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad,” says Davie. “We don’t know whether in individual cases social media is not responsible,” he says.”可知,戴维斯说:“我们不能把社交媒体的整体状况看作是好是坏,他还说:“我们不知道在个别情况下,社交媒体是否负有责任”,这说明屏幕时间和使用社交媒体对心理健康的影响仍然是不确定的,由此可知画线词词义为“不确定的”,故A项正确。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They are also widely believed, thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge, which claims that digital technology has ruined a generation. Yet, Amy Orben at the University of Oxford, who studies the impact of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health, holds different views.”可知,Jean Twenge声称数字技术已经毁掉了一代人,然而,牛津大学的艾米•奥本持有不同的观点,她研究数字技术和社交媒体尤其是对心理健康的影响,由此可知,奥本认为现在就指责屏幕的使用(数字技术)毁了一代人还为时过早,故B项正确。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Every new technology with widespread impact has given rise to new fears. So the best bet may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it. If you find yourself over addictive, don’t panic—and certainly don’t feel guilty. Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about.可知,每一项影响广泛的新技术都会引起新的担忧,所以,最好的办法是问问你自己,什么程度的屏幕使用让你和你周围的人高兴,并努力坚持下去。如果你发现自己上瘾过度,没有必要惊慌和内疚,由此判断出,这篇文章的目的是缓解人们对屏幕使用的担忧,故D项正确。
【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大,画线词后起解释说明或举例说明的句子往往是重要线索,例如本篇第2题,根据画线词后的““We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad,” says Davie. “We don’t know whether in individual cases social media is not responsible,” he says.”可知,戴维斯说:“我们不能把社交媒体的整体状况看作是好是坏,他还说:“我们不知道在个别情况下,社交媒体是否负有责任”,这是对前一句的解释说明,说明屏幕时间和使用社交媒体对心理健康的影响仍然是不确定的,由此可知画线词词义为“不确定的”,故A项正确。

阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Go, commonly known in China as weiqi, is a board game for two players that needs logical (逻辑的) strategies. To win, the player must use black and white playing pieces to surround more field than the other player. The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago. It enjoys a wide fan base, mostly in East Asia—but it is becoming more popular in other areas of the world.
Schreiber, vice chair of Berlin Go Association, was introduced to the game 16 years ago, but thought the game rather boring at first. Similarly, Urban, chair of Berlin Go Association, accidentally discovered a book on Go on his mother’s bookshelf when he was 37 years old. “I tried to understand the rules because I love board games and I did not get it,” added Urban. But they both found the game more and more interesting after practice. “It’s like speaking to another but with your hands. You make a very direct message,” explained Schreiber.
Schreiber recommended children learn Go because he believed it could be beneficial for them. “They learn that there is always someone stronger and they learn that it’s okay to lose. They learn how to improve from their mistakes and say tomorrow will be better than today,” he explained.
To the experienced players, Go can be very addictive, as it carries meanings not just in leisure, but also in culture. Many are too quick to judge other people’s cultures. Confucius said, “Tell me, I’ll forget; Show me, I may remember; Involve me, and I will understand.” With Go, people only get stronger if they play against different players. With culture, one need ot go and talk to people, even better if in their language. If you can’t, maybe it’s enough to use the Go board as the language.
As cooperation between China and Germany deepens in many aspects of life, efforts have been made to further popularize Go in Europe. The European. Go Congress has been hosting annual competitions since 1983. Training courses are also offered, and professional players from China are invited to deliver lectures for game loves in Europe.
41 When was Go invented in China?
42. How did Schreiber and Urban feel about Go after practice?
43. Why did Schreiber recommend children learn Go?
