第二部分 阅读理解(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
When you get ready to choose your natural shampoo (洗发水), make sure you read the label. It should never contain more than nine ingredients (成份). Otherwise, it is more likely to have harmful artificial ingredients. Some products state that they’re organic, but this isn’t always true. Try to find the following natural ingredients.
*Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera: These are known to stimulate the growth of hair by keeping your head skin moisturized (湿润).
*Organic Shea Butter: This will enhance the natural color and shine of your hair.
*Beta Glucan: This has immune-enhancing qualities that will start relieving your irritated (受刺激的) skin cells.
*Organic Tea Tree oil: This contains antiseptic (防腐剂) properties that will help maintain the health of your skin by preventing any skin irritants.
Keeping your hair beautiful, thick, and healthy is important. With natural hair care products, there are many different varieties that you can choose from. Make sure you do your research and pick out an option that’s going to be best for your hair: whether it’s already thick, whether it’s thinning, whether you’re losing hair, or whether you’re trying for a stronger look.
There are many reasons you should look for natural hair care products instead of choosing artificial options. There are also many places where you can buy them. If you care about your hair and want to promote hair growth while decreasing the number of chemicals that go into your hair, then you should look into purchasing more natural options. You won’t be disappointed.
1. In which column of a magazine can we find this text?
A. Education. B. Amusement. C. Life. D. Sports.
2. What ingredient may ensure shining color of your hair according to the text?

It seems that every week we find out someone broke into a big company’s databases—like the recent Equifax data breach (违规)—and made off with millions of credit card numbers, passwords and other valuable information. And now a new kind of worry: someone could seize control of your wireless home network and steal your information from under your nose.
That’s the possibility raised by a couple of cyber security researchers from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium. The problem, they say, is a weakness in the very protocol meant to make wi-fi secure. That protocol is called Wi-Fi Protected Access II, WPA2. And WPA2’s weakness could allow an attacker within physical range of your wi-fi network to make a copy of that network that they could then control. The researchers call their approach a key reinstallation attack, or KRACK.
It’s important to know that a KRACK attack remains a possibility for now. The scientists realized the threat while investigating wireless security. They’ll present this research on November 1st at the Computer and Communications Security (CCS)conference in Dallas and in December at the Black Hat Europe conference in London.
In their KRACK assumption, wireless devices would be fooled into connecting to the false network. And the attacker would be able to access all of the information that devices send and receive while connected to that network—evon if that information has been coded. Android and Linux would be especially easy to attack because of how their encryption keys (密钥) are configured (设定).
One measure of protection against such an attack would be to make sure they you’ve installed (安装) the most up-to-date versions of your apps, browsers and wireless router software. Updated software is most likely to include the security patches (补丁) needed to avoid falling victim to a KRACK attack, because chances are that KRACK won’t remain simply a proof-of-concept for long.
4. What are home Internet users concerned about now?
A. Their Internet may be disconnected. B. Their credit cards might be inaccessible.
C. Their home network might be destroyed. D. Their personal information might be stolen.
5. How can the attacker take advantage of the WPA 2’s weakness?
A. By installing a key. B. By approaching physical range.
C By copying and controlling the network. D. By controlling the Internet users.
6. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. The false network contributes little to such attack.
B. If coded, the information will be free from danger.
C. Android is easy to attack for lack of encryption keys.
D. All of the information might be accessible to the attacker.
7. What can people do to protect against KRACK attack?
A. Purchase the best-quality apps. B. Keep the proof of KRACK long.
C. Ignore the patches of the computers. D. Install the latest relevant software.
C
Working at a desk all day may not be as bad for your health as siting in front of a television after work. That is a finding of a new study done in the United States. It also suggests that not all forms of sitting are equally bad.
Jeanette Garcia works as a researcher at the University of Central Florida in Orlando and she led the study “We’ve been hearing more and more about how sitting is the new smoking.” she said. She added that other evidence suggests a relationship between health problems and time spent sitting.
“However, it’s been unclear whether all sitting is created equal, suggesting that as long as you reduce any type of sitting, then that’s helpful in improving health,” she added.
“This study suggests that this may not be the case, and that we should focus more on leisure time sitting, mainly television viewing time, rather than other sitting, in general.”
The study followed close to 3,600 African-American adults. Almost one-third of them watched TV for more than four hours a day. A little more than one-third of the subjects spent between two and four hours a day sitting in front of the TV. The remaining third watched TV for less than two hours a day. Researchers followed the group for an average of 8.4 years. During the study, 205 of the subjects died and 129 others suffered a heart attack or stroke (中风).
Compared to people who watched less than two hours of television daily, those who spent more than four hours in front of the TV were 49 percent more likely to die or have a heart attack or stroke.
But the undesirable health effects of watching TV appeared to be limited to adults who failed to get the recommended amount of weekly exercise. That is around 150 minutes of mild physical activity or 75minutes of strong exercise every week.
The study had some limitations, however. Lin Yang, another researcher, says that sitting in front of the TV might be worse than siting at a desk because people snack while watching TV. Some people simply stay up too late and do not get enough sleep.
“Eating treats or lack of sleep could both cause weight gain and increase risk factors for heart disease. These factors could make people more likely to die early,” she added.
8. What can we learn from Jeanette Garcia’s study?
A. All forms of sitting are equally bad.
B. Less sitting helps to improve health.
C. Sitting long has the same effect as smoking.
D. Health problem has much to do with working at a desk.
9. Which of the following will cause people to have the highest life risks?
A. Watching TV long and snacking.
B. Reading in the study for four hours a day.
C. Failing to get recommended amount of exercise.
D. Having 75 minutes of strong exercise every week.
10. What should an adult do to reduce the high risk of life?
A. Go on diets. B. Take enough exercise.
C. Stay up late. D. Eat treats while siting.
D
Consider a tale of two Amy veterans (退伍军人). Jeff served two terms in Afghanistan, moved home to the Midwest, graduated from college and landed a secure job in a firm. Matt fought alongside Jeff, left the Army at the same time and headed home to North Carolina. By the time he was in his 30s, though, Matt was unemployed and dependent on government checks.
Why did Jeff develop so well while Matt lost his civilian footing? The answer, according to Daniel M. Gade, a retired officer, and Daniel Huang, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, is the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)—in particular, its strong disability system.
In their convincing description, the authors show in detail how a well-intended system can unintentionally lead fragile veterans, step by step, away from the worlds of work and community. The path typically starts just before separation from the service. Soldiers meet with VA representatives who emphasize opportunities to collect disability compensation (补偿). Jeff, for example, wanted to “get out and get on” with his life, while Matt took the VA agent’s advice “and applied for every condition he could think of.”
Matt’s career plan had been to attain an ideal job in law enforcement (执行) but the field was highly competitive. So be took a job with his dad’s construction company. But the physical damage of the job was too much for his knees and back. Deeply depressed, now out of work and living in his parents’ home, Matt tried college but felt unbearable. Meanwhile, anxious about his future, be kept applying for higher disability ratings—receiving, eventually, a monthly tax-free check over $3,000.
For many partially or fully disabled veterans, PTSD (创伤应急障碍) is their primary diagnosis (诊断). The condition, can be very weak, but it is also treatable. A psychologist told the authors that, when it comes to PTSD, the agency “has been doing harm to millions of veterans by telling them that they’re disabled.”
In Matt’s case, remarkably, even after the VA determined him to be “housebound,” it didn’t mandate (强制执行) treatment. “The natural athlete who had conquered his fear of heights to excel as an airborne (空降的) soldier,” the authors write, “had become a disabled man one year later.” The VA’s record on treatment in general looks poor: More veterans today, relative to their overall numbers, are compensated for disabilities than ever before in the VA’s history. Under 0.1% of the veterans who receive disability benefits for mental disorders have their benefits reduced over time because their condition has improved.
11. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To lead to the topic. B. To give examples.
C. To clarify opinions. D. To introduce two veterans.
12. Why did Matt fall into the difficult situation according to Daniel M. Gade and Daniel Huang?
A. He depended too much on VA. B. He didn’t fight as bravely as Jeff.
C. He didn’t benefit from the system. D. He was unwilling to work in a firm.
13. What does the underlined expression probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A. To follow the VA Agent’s advice.
B. To stay away from work and community.
C. To leave the army and get along well with other veterans.
D. To earn his own living rather than apply for compensation.
14. What attitude did Matt take facing his present situation?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Cautious.
15. Why did the airborne soldier become a disabled man?
A. He failed to conquer his fear. B. The AV made the false diagnosis.
C. He didn’t get enough compensation. D. The VA didn’t provide proper service.

The shiny black sports car sat at the traffic lights. The driver’s window was down, and the driver was wearing a suit and dark sunglasses. It was an expensive car. Thomas Campbell knew that because he used to have one. But now he was sitting on a bench, which had served as his bed for the previous few nights, with no more than a pocket full of change to his name. The lights changed, the car sped off and Thomas sighed.
It had all happened in the space of a year. He was laid off from bis well-paid job when the economy took a turn for the worse. Although he was paid handsomely.he lived a lifestyle to match and always spent any raise or bonus on expensive but unnecessary things. Losing his job put pressure on his marriage and his wife left. Then he couldn’t make his mortgage (贷款) repayments. A few weeks later be found himself in a cheap hotel and a few months after that, in a sleeping bag under a bridge downtown.
As Thomas walked in the streets late that night.he thought about the man in the car and about whether be could improve his life again. He had grown up quite poor, so was used to not having much, but living outside was hard. Perhaps the hardest thing was how differently people treated him now when he didn’t have a suit or haircut. They often said negative things. Even worse than that was just treating him as invisible. Once he walked past someone he used to work with, they looked through him like he weren’t there, and it made him feel less than a human.
Then as be turned a corner, he heard the cries of a child from a second-storey window. He could see a little girl with a thick plume (缕) of smoke surrounding her. He looked about but no one was nearby. He shouted to the girl, but she was crying and coughing and couldn’t hear him. Then be heard another cry from inside. It was a baby.
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Thomas looked for a way into the burning building.

It seems that every week we find out someone broke into a big company’s databases—like the recent Equifax data breach (违规)—and made off with millions of credit card numbers, passwords and other valuable information. And now a new kind of worry: someone could seize control of your wireless home network and steal your information from under your nose.
That’s the possibility raised by a couple of cyber security researchers from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium. The problem, they say, is a weakness in the very protocol meant to make wi-fi secure. That protocol is called Wi-Fi Protected Access II, WPA2. And WPA2’s weakness could allow an attacker within physical range of your wi-fi network to make a copy of that network that they could then control. The researchers call their approach a key reinstallation attack, or KRACK.
It’s important to know that a KRACK attack remains a possibility for now. The scientists realized the threat while investigating wireless security. They’ll present this research on November 1st at the Computer and Communications Security (CCS)conference in Dallas and in December at the Black Hat Europe conference in London.
In their KRACK assumption, wireless devices would be fooled into connecting to the false network. And the attacker would be able to access all of the information that devices send and receive while connected to that network—evon if that information has been coded. Android and Linux would be especially easy to attack because of how their encryption keys (密钥) are configured (设定).
One measure of protection against such an attack would be to make sure they you’ve installed (安装) the most up-to-date versions of your apps, browsers and wireless router software. Updated software is most likely to include the security patches (补丁) needed to avoid falling victim to a KRACK attack, because chances are that KRACK won’t remain simply a proof-of-concept for long.
4. What are home Internet users concerned about now?
A. Their Internet may be disconnected. B. Their credit cards might be inaccessible.
C. Their home network might be destroyed. D. Their personal information might be stolen.
5. How can the attacker take advantage of the WPA 2’s weakness?
A. By installing a key. B. By approaching physical range.
C. By copying and controlling the network. D. By controlling the Internet users.
6. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. The false network contributes little to such attack.
B. If coded, the information will be free from danger.
C. Android is easy to attack for lack of encryption keys.
D. All of the information might be accessible to the attacker.
7. What can people do to protect against KRACK attack?
A. Purchase the best-quality apps. B. Keep the proof of KRACK long.
C. Ignore the patches of the computers. D. Install the latest relevant software.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】

Working at a desk all day may not be as bad for your health as siting in front of a television after work. That is a finding of a new study done in the United States. It also suggests that not all forms of sitting are equally bad.
Jeanette Garcia works as a researcher at the University of Central Florida in Orlando and she led the study. “We’ve been hearing more and more about how sitting is the new smoking.” she said. She added that other evidence suggests a relationship between health problems and time spent sitting.
“However, it’s been unclear whether all sitting is created equal, suggesting that as long as you reduce any type of sitting, then that’s helpful in improving health,” she added.
“This study suggests that this may not be the case, and that we should focus more on leisure time sitting, mainly television viewing time, rather than other sitting, in general.”
The study followed close to 3,600 African-American adults. Almost one-third of them watched TV for more than four hours a day. A little more than one-third of the subjects spent between two and four hours a day sitting in front of the TV. The remaining third watched TV for less than two hours a day. Researchers followed the group for an average of 8.4 years. During the study, 205 of the subjects died and 129 others suffered a heart attack or stroke (中风).
Compared to people who watched less than two hours of television daily, those who spent more than four hours in front of the TV were 49 percent more likely to die or have a heart attack or stroke.
But the undesirable health effects of watching TV appeared to be limited to adults who failed to get the recommended amount of weekly exercise. That is around 150 minutes of mild physical activity or 75minutes of strong exercise every week.
The study had some limitations, however. Lin Yang, another researcher, says that sitting in front of the TV might be worse than siting at a desk because people snack while watching TV. Some people simply stay up too late and do not get enough sleep.
“Eating treats or lack of sleep could both cause weight gain and increase risk factors for heart disease. These factors could make people more likely to die early,” she added.
8. What can we learn from Jeanette Garcia’s study?
A. All forms of sitting are equally bad.
B. Less sitting helps to improve health.
C. Sitting long has the same effect as smoking.
D. Health problem has much to do with working at a desk.
9. Which of the following will cause people to have the highest life risks?
A. Watching TV long and snacking.
B. Reading in the study for four hours a day.
C. Failing to get recommended amount of exercise.
D. Having 75 minutes of strong exercise every week.
10. What should an adult do to reduce the high risk of life?
A. Go on diets. B. Take enough exercise.
C. Stay up late. D. Eat treats while siting.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是美国一项新研究发现，整天伏案工作对健康的危害可能没有下班后坐在电视机前那么大。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“However, it’s been unclear whether all sitting is created equal, suggesting that as long as you reduce any type of sitting, then that’s helpful in improving health(然而，目前还不清楚是否所有的久坐都是一样的，这表明只要你减少任何一种类型的久坐，就有助于改善健康)”可知，我们能从Jeanette Garcia的研究中了解到少坐有助于改善健康。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第四段的“Compared to people who watched less than two hours of television daily, those who spent more than four hours in front of the TV were 49 percent more likely to die or have a heart attack or stroke.(与每天看电视少于两个小时的人相比，每天看电视超过四个小时的人死亡或心脏病发作或中风的可能性要高出49%)”和最后一段的“Eating treats or lack of sleep could both cause weight gain and increase risk factors for heart disease. These factors could make people more likely to die early(吃零食或睡眠不足都可能导致体重增加，并增加患心脏病的风险因素。这些因素会使人们更有可能早死)”可知，长时间看电视和吃零食会导致人们有最高的生命风险。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“But the undesirable health effects of watching TV appeared to be limited to adults who failed to get the recommended amount of weekly exercise. That is around 150 minutes of mild physical activity or 75minutes of strong exercise every week.(但看电视对健康的不良影响似乎仅限于那些没有达到每周建议运动量的成年人。也就是说，每周进行150分钟的轻度运动或75分钟的剧烈运动)”可知，一个成年人应该做足够的运动来减少生命的高风险。故选B。

Consider a tale of two Amy veterans (退伍军人). Jeff served two terms in Afghanistan, moved home to the Midwest, graduated from college and landed a secure job in a firm. Matt fought alongside Jeff, left the Army at the same time and headed home to North Carolina. By the time he was in his 30s, though, Matt was unemployed and dependent on government checks.
Why did Jeff develop so well while Matt lost his civilian footing? The answer, according to Daniel M. Gade, a retired officer, and Daniel Huang, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, is the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)—in particular, its strong disability system.
In their convincing description, the authors show in detail how a well-intended system can unintentionally lead fragile veterans, step by step, away from the worlds of work and community. The path typically starts just before separation from the service. Soldiers meet with VA representatives who emphasize opportunities to collect disability compensation (补偿). Jeff, for example, wanted to “get out and get on” with his life, while Matt took the VA agent’s advice “and applied for every condition he could think of.”
Matt’s career plan had been to attain an ideal job in law enforcement (执行), but the field was highly competitive. So be took a job with his dad’s construction company. But the physical damage of the job was too much for his knees and back. Deeply depressed, now out of work and living in his parents’ home, Matt tried college but felt unbearable. Meanwhile, anxious about his future, be kept applying for higher disability ratings—receiving, eventually, a monthly tax-free check over $3,000.
For many partially or fully disabled veterans, PTSD (创伤应急障碍) is their primary diagnosis (诊断). The condition, can be very weak, but it is also treatable. A psychologist told the authors that, when it comes to PTSD, the agency “has been doing harm to millions of veterans by telling them that they’re disabled.”
In Matt’s case, remarkably, even after the VA determined him to be “housebound,” it didn’t mandate (强制执行) treatment. “The natural athlete who had conquered his fear of heights to excel as an airborne (空降的) soldier,” the authors write, “had become a disabled man one year later.” The VA’s record on treatment in general looks poor: More veterans today, relative to their overall numbers, are compensated for disabilities than ever before in the VA’s history. Under 0.1% of the veterans who receive disability benefits for mental disorders have their benefits reduced over time because their condition has improved.
11. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To lead to the topic. B. To give examples.
C. To clarify opinions. D. To introduce two veterans.
12. Why did Matt fall into the difficult situation according to Daniel M. Gade and Daniel Huang?
A. He depended too much on VA. B. He didn’t fight as bravely as Jeff.
C. He didn’t benefit from the system. D. He was unwilling to work in a firm.
13. What does the underlined expression probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A. To follow the VA Agent’s advice.
B. To stay away from work and community.
C. To leave the army and get along well with other veterans.
D. To earn his own living rather than apply for compensation.
14. What attitude did Matt take facing his present situation?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Cautious.
15. Why did the airborne soldier become a disabled man?
A. He failed to conquer his fear. B. The AV made the false diagnosis.
C. He didn’t get enough compensation. D. The VA didn’t provide proper service.
【答案】11. A 12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是一个叫做退伍军人事务部的部门，以及这个部门对退伍军人的影响。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Why did Jeff develop so well while Matt lost his civilian footing? The answer, according to Daniel M. Gade, a retired officer, and Daniel Huang, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, is the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)—in particular, its strong disability system.(为什么杰夫发展得这么好而马特却失去了他的平民的立足地？根据退休军官Daniel M. Gade和前《华尔街日报》记者Daniel Huang的说法，答案是退伍军人事务部(VA)——尤其是它强大的残疾人系统。)”可知，第一段的目的是引出本文的话题，即退伍军人事务部及这个部门对退伍军人的影响，故选A。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Why did Jeff develop so well while Matt lost his civilian footing? The answer, according to Daniel M. Gade, a retired officer, and Daniel Huang, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, is the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)—in particular, its strong disability system.(为什么Jeff发展得这么好而马特却失去了他的平民的立足地？根据退休军Daniel M. Gade和前《华尔街日报》记者Daniel Huang的说法，答案是退伍军人事务部(VA)——尤其是它强大的残疾人系统。)”和第三段的“Jeff, for example, wanted to “get out and get on” with his life, while Matt took the VA agent’s advice “and applied for every condition he could think of.(例如，杰夫想“走出去，继续”自己的生活，而马特接受了VA的代理的建议，“申请了他能想到的所有条件”。)”可知，根据Daniel M. Gade和Daniel Huang的说法，马特之所以会陷入困境是因为他太依赖退伍军人事务部了，故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“while Matt took the VA agent’s advice “and applied for every condition he could think of(而马特采纳了VA的代理的建议，“申请了他能想到的所有条件”)”可知，Jeff没有依靠赔偿而是自力更生，因此划线短语get out and get on的意思是“自己谋生，而不是申请赔偿”，即to earn his own living rather than apply for compensation，故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Deeply depressed, now out of work and living in his parents’ home, Matt tried college but felt unbearable. Meanwhile, anxious about his future, be kept applying for higher disability ratings—receiving, eventually, a monthly tax-free check over $3,000.(马特现在失业了，住在父母家里，心情非常沮丧，他试着上大学，但觉得无法忍受。与此同时，由于担心自己的未来，他不断地申请更高的残疾等级——最终，他得到了一张每月超过3000美元的免税支票。)”可知，马特面对他现在的处境采取了消极的态度，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“In Matt’s case, remarkably, even after the VA determined him to be “housebound,” it didn’t mandate (强制执行) treatment.(在马特的病例中，值得注意的是，即使VA决定他“在家休息”，它没有强制治疗。)”可知，这位士兵成为残疾人的原因是VA没有提供适当的服务。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是最近美国纪录片导演Laurence J. Brahm在纪录片《功夫的追寻》中探讨了武术真正的意义。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在电影中，Brahm开始了一场功夫朝圣之旅，前往中国和美国的城市，寻找功夫的起源和价值。修饰可数名词pilgrimage，泛指，用不定代词。Kung为辅音音素开头，用a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Brahm开始了一场功夫朝圣之旅，前往中国和美国的城市，寻找功夫的起源和价值。非谓语动词担当后置定语，和所修饰词pilgrimage之间存在主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填travel(l)ing。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：Brahm本人是一名功夫爱好者，40多年来一直致力于练习功夫。考查从句谓语动词，根据时间状语“for more than 40 years”可知，时态为现在完成时或现在完成进行时；主语who，代指lover，单数，所以谓语动词用has。故填has devoted/has been devoting。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意：大约十年前，Brahm有两年左右的时间无法使用他的一条腿，不得不拄着拐杖走路。分析句子成分可知，空处为本句谓语动词，根据时间状语“Around a decade ago”可知，时态为一般过去时。故填had。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：大约十年前，Brahm有两年左右的时间无法使用他的一条腿，不得不拄着拐杖走路。连接两个并列谓语动词，所以用连词and。故填and。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：非暴力就是其中的一种价值观，它既体现在名字上，也体现在实践中。这里为定语从句的关系词，先行词为“one of these values”，表示物，在非限制性定语从句中担当主语，用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这让每个人都知道没有隐藏的武器，显示了信任。修饰名词weapon用形容词形式。故填hidden。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：Brahm对功夫的欣赏是显而易见的。分析成分可知，空处为名词形式作主语。故填appreciation。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：功夫的传统价值，实际上，在所有中国人的头脑中。修饰名词values用形容词形式。故填traditional。
