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
Several new films on ordinary people’s contributions were released in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
A kaleidoscope(万花筒) of heroes
Patriotism and realism reflected in My People, My Country are the top two elements that have won the audiences’ hearts. “In the seven stories in My People, My Country, the protagonists(主角) are no longer the main creators of history,” Zheng Yang, a teacher, said after watching the movie.
“We don’t want to simply sing praises of China’s achievements over the past 70 years; we want to show that all the achievements have been made thanks to the Chinese people’s efforts,” Chen Kaige, told People.com.cn in a video interview.
A miraculous escape
The Captain, directed by Andrew Lau, is based on a real incident.
On May 14, 2018, a Sichuan Airlines flight from Chongqing to Lhasa in southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region, made a miraculous escape when a cockpit window broke. It caused a sudden drop in the air pressure inside the aircraft, leading to the co-pilot almost being sucked out. He was saved by his seat belt. The temperature plunged to minus 40 degrees Celsius.
But against great odds, Captain Liu Chuanjian managed to land the plane and keep all 128 onboard safe. It was regarded as a miracle in civil aviation history.
Peak performance
The Climbers, is based on two expeditions(探险) by Chinese climbers to Mt. Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world.
In 1960, three Chinese climbers, were the first to reach the summit from the dangerous northern side, becoming the first men to do so. However, the feat was not recognized internationally as the team failed to provide any evidence. To vindicate the Chinese climbers, a gigantic team of over 400 members was put together in 1975. During this expedition, nine climbers reached the top. The expedition also measured the height of the peak—8,848.13 meters.
21. What’s the common in the seven stories in My People, My Country?
A. They are all based on real incidents.
B. They are all about common people.
C. They are all about heroes in the history.
D. They are all about the founding of China.

22. What does the underlined phrase “against great odds” probably mean?
A. Out of question.
B. Around the corner.
C. All of a sudden.
D. Through thick and thin.
23. Which is the best title for the whole passage?
A. People’s Heroes
B. The Great Escape
C. The New Expedition
D. People’s Expectation
B
What Does the Length of Your Fingers Say About You?
Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter? Your finger length might be a clue. Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Facebook, but I must admit that it is exactly correct for me. Here’s how it works.
Look at your three middle fingers of your hand. Is your index finger longer than your ring finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate description of your personality.
·Longer ring finger: The Sweet Talker
If your ring finger is longer than your index
finger, research shows that you’re likely a charming
type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any
situation. Others often find this personality type
irresistible and will go to great lengths to help you.
You’re more likely to take risks, and you’re good at problem-solving. People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.
·Longer index finger: The (Over) Confident One
If your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are you are full of confidence—possibly even to the point of being over–confident and proud. You are not necessarily introverted (内向的), but you do enjoy time to yourself, especially when you’re trying to complete a project. You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you’re always wishing for more.
·Index and ring finger are of the same length: The Peacemaker
If your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length, you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationship. You are well–organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace–loving, you also have a hot–tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you’re pushed too far. You will try your hardest to avoid a fight.
How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my case, but I’m not going to tell you which one it was!
24. Which of the following hand could be an engineer’s hand?

A. B. C. D.
25. We can learn from the passage that the author _______.
A. is very charming and helpful
B. always tries hard to avoid a fight
C. often takes silly tests on Facebook
D. thinks the descriptions suit him well
26. What does the passage intend to tell us?
A. How accurate the description of the test is.
B. The length of fingers can reveal personality.
C. Why your fingers are not of the same length.
D. Personality is determined by your finger length.
27. Where can you probably find the text?
A. A popular magazine. B. An official report.
C. A public advertisement. D. A biology textbook.
C
There is beauty in each moment of our lives, but often we’re too distracted to notice it. Instead, we spend much of our time worrying about the future or regretting the past, and this habit can have negative consequences for our mental and physical health.
That’s why many people today are turning to the practice of mindfulness(正念减压法). Simply put, mindfulness means focusing on the present moment. Let’s say you’re sitting in traffic after a long day’s work. Rather than dwelling on(老是想着) an unpleasant incident that occurred earlier or worrying about your schedule for the next day, you might direct your attention to the sound of the rain drops battering the windshield or to a specific image before you. By directing your attention to the here and now, you automatically shift your focus away from self-image, success, and other stress-inducing concerns.
Such a shift in consciousness helps us form more meaningful connections with others and handle problems with greater ease. It also lets us appreciate life’s many little pleasures. So, it’s not surprising that mindfulness has been found to help in the treatment of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and even physical problems related to stress, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and upset stomachs.
How do you practice mindfulness? While it’s often associated with meditation, you don’t actually need to be in a particular place or position to cultivate it. In fact, it can be incorporated(使并入) into almost any daily activity, including eating, walking, showering, or doing the dishes. Let’s take this last activity as an illustration:
Begin by bringing your attention to your breath. Inhale(吸入) through your nose allowing the air to expand your belly, and exhale through your mouth. Notice the sensations as each breath goes in and out.
As you engage in the task of washing the dishes, direct your awareness to the scent of the soap, the sound of the running water, and the feel of the suds(肥皂泡沫) between your fingers. Simply be aware of these and any other immediate sensations without forming any judgments about them.
At times, this process may not be relaxing, especially when what you’re doing is boring or unpleasant. Nevertheless, by practicing mindfulness, we can learn to accept whatever situations life brings us and, over time develop greater happiness.
28. Why is example of “sitting in traffic” mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To appreciate beauty at the present moment.
B. To explain the meaning of mindfulness.
C. To describe the traffic accident in the street.
D. To attract the reader’s attention to the traffic.
29. Which of the following is the benefit of mindfulness?
A. Finding out problems in study more easily.
B. Helping cure diseases like high blood pressure.
C. Allowing us to enjoy small pleasures in life.
D. Making friends with other people in the traffic.
30. From the passage, mindfulness can be practised by________.
A. Finding a particular place to cultivate it B. Bringing our attention to our health
C. Burying ourselves in washing the dishes D. Putting it to use in our everyday life
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The reasons why people begin to practise mindfulness.
B. The differences between mindfulness and meditation.
C. The benefits of mindfulness and the way to practice it.
D. The ways we should keep healthy mentally and physically.
D
He really did look like a tourist, with a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen cream sticking out of his bag. The fat man sat on the terrace(平台), sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a tourism brochure. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasn’t looking at the brochure: he hadn’t turned a page for the last ten minutes. As I brought him his dishes, he coughed up a “thank you” and looked at me briefly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar across his left eyebrow.
I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t quite place him. Then it hit me. The car accident. The mysterious stranger who helped me out of my crashed car, just before it exploded. I rushed back to his table. He was gone.
I moved his saucer and found his tip, along with a card: I am deeply grateful to you. The night of your car accident, I was on my way to rob a jewelry store. Saving your life brought things back in a right way. I now live an honest life, thanks to you. God bless you! Mr. D.
I shivered(震颤). The night of my car accident, I was heading for an interview in an illegal dance club. Seeing human kindness through his heroic gesture turned my life around and brought faith back into my life. I unfolded the tip he left. Among the singles was a grand(一千美元) with a pen mark underlining “In God We Trust.” I said a silent prayer for him and got back to work, smiling.
32. Why did the fat man look like a tourist?
A. Because he used money not the same as the locals.
B. Because he carried what tourists usually have on.
C. Because he doesn’t look like a native citizen.
D. Because he ordered strange food and drinks.
33. How did the writer know the man didn’t read the brochure?
A. He was drinking all the time.
B. He sat still with his sunglasses.
C. The passage remained unturned.
D. He was staring at the writer.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. They kept in touch with each other from then on.
B. The writer had been searching for the man.
C. The man became a rich man years later.
D. The writer didn’t go to that interview.
35. What is their attitude towards each other?
A. Sympathetic. B. Grateful. C. Worried. D. Trusty.

Dear Chris,
I am more than pleased to know that you are planning to bring home gifts representing the Chinese culture for your mother, and I am writing to offer my advice.
My first suggestion is Qipao, a fine piece of traditional Chinese clothing with unique and exceptional design. I am sure your mother will look absolutely gorgeous in it. In addition to Qipao, the Chinese knot is also highly recommended because it stands for unity and attachment in Chinese culture, which will be a proper gift to demonstrate your deep love and strong emotional bond towards your mother. It’s safe to say your mom will love it once she understands the profound meaning behind the Chinese knot.
I sincerely hope your mother will like the presents and wish you a happy winter vacation.
Yours,
Li Hua
书面表达：(普通版)
Dear Chris,
I am glad to hear that you want to buy some gifts for your mother that represent Chinese culture. And I am writing to give you some advice.
Personally, I think that you should buy the following two gifts: Qipao and Chinese knot. Qipao, a very beautiful traditional dress for Chinese women, can show the real beauty of a woman. I am sure your mother will like it very much. What’s more, it is also a good choice for you to buy the Chinese knot. It is usually hung in the sitting room or cars, which represents good luck.
Wish you a good vacation. Please give my best wishes to your family.
Yours,
Li Hua
