第二部分：阅读理解(共15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

I’m an immigrant from China, and I found that in Quebec I had to learn French, which was a totally strange language to me. After waiting for half a month, I received a letter from my school, St-luc, and began learning French in a welcome class, which is a class for new immigrants. Even though French was rather hard for me to speak and to understand, I began my secondary five studies the next year.

The first few days were terrible, especially the first class of the first day. Although I had been in St-Luc for one year, I still didn’t know much about the school. The first problem that I had was finding my classroom. Luckily, I met a girl who was in my French class and my chemistry class.

After the bell rang, the teacher, Mme. Zarif, began her class. First, she introduced herself to everyone and then gave us the course outline for the first year. During her class, everyone laughed many times. Although I could only understand a little bit, I could tell that she was very funny.

At the end of her speech, to make sure that we did not forget what we had learned in secondary four, Mme. Zarif gave us a paper with many symbols of elements on it and asked us to write their names in French. I was shocked when I received the paper. Honestly, the only symbol I knew was O. After having started at the paper for a few minutes, I gave up and raised my hand. The teacher came, and I told her that I didn’t know anything.

“You have forgotten everything already?” she said in a surprised tone. “No,” I answered, “I have never learned them in French before. I am from the welcome class.” “Oh,” the teacher said with a look of understanding. “Come here after school. I will teach them to you.”

I agreed. Finally, I handed in the paper with only one answer on it. On the whole, my first day of secondary five was a little embarrassing but, at the same time, interesting.

31. What is the author’s first problem on his first day of secondary five?

A. Finding his classroom. B. Introducing himself.

C. Understanding French. D. Taking an exam.

32. What does the author think of Mme. Zarif?

A. Quiet. B. Energetic. C. Brave. D. Humorous.

33. Why did the author fail to finish writing chemical elements?

A. He forgot to revise chemistry. B. He couldn’t write French at all.

C. He didn’t concentrate on the lesson. D. He didn’t learn them in French.

34. What is the best title of the text?

A. A Welcome Class. B. My French teacher.

C. My first Chemistry Class. D. An immigrant from China.

B

Though many people think of summer as a time to slow down and enjoy a vacation, it can also be the perfect time to make money or get experience. Here are some good summer jobs for you.

Survey-taking

Survey-taking is a way to make money during your summer holiday, especially if you live in an area that doesn’t have many chances. With a computer or smartphone, you can sit on your sofa and search for survey sites such as Surveys On The Go, InboxDollars or Swagbucks. Without much effort, you can start making money for your opinions. However, the ease of use comes with a low earning potential.

Food Delivery(递送)

If you enjoy driving, you can use your car to deliver food. You can sign up to deliver food from restaurants with services such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub. Another choice is delivering daily used goods with services such as Postmates, Shipt and Instacart. The earning potential for delivery can be higher than for other jobs because customers often give tips. The disadvantage is that these jobs require you to put in more time.

Photo Applications

If you go to the mall， you can use an app such as Field Agent or Gigwalk to make money by taking pictures of products in stores. See any help-wanted signs in the store windows? Take a picture and get paid for each one you find.

House Sitting and Pet Care

Summer is a time when people take vacations and may need someone to look after their homes or pets. Services such as HouseSitter and MindMyHouse connect homeowners with proper house sitters(看房人). For animal lovers who would rather care for someone’s pet while they are away, you can turn to services like Rover.

35. What do we know about making money through Survey-Taking?

A. It’s interesting. B. It requires little effort.

C. It takes much time. D. It requires special knowledge.

36. Why is the earning potential for Food Delivery higher than for other jobs?

A. You can get some extra reward.

B. You work longer hours.

C. You need to drive your own car.

D. You deliver food for many people.

37. Which app should you use if you enjoy looking after animals?

A. Swagbucks. B. Uber Eats. C. HouseSitter. D. Rover.

C

Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP, 标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents.

Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country – from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands – are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.

In a 2015 study by The University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working class.

However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in an RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strength.

Kong Seong-jae, 25, is an internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said.

So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.

38. What can we infer from paragraph 1?

A. Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent.

B. Only “the queen’s English” is accepted in the UK.

C. Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.

D. Any Received Pronunciation around the world is also called “the Queen’s English”.

39. What do people think of the Brummie accent?

A. Favored by foreign visitors to the UK. B. Closest to the RP accent.

C. Smart and easy to understand. D. Spoken by people of lower class.

40. What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Speaking in a RP accent. B. Speaking in regional accents.

C. Speaking the Brummie accent. D. Speaking like Harry Potter.

41. What is the passage mainly about?

A. A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain.

B. A comparison between different British accents.

C. How much British people value the RP accent.

D. The impact of regional accents on people’s lives.

D

A teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure(安全的). To some teenagers independence means a lot to them and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.

Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to lean lesson is through experience. I think it is good for teenagers to have freedom.

Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends.

Privacy(隐私)is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.

42. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. Kids have a dull schedule every day.

B. Parents allow their kids no freedom.

C. Kids know how to live independently.

D. It helps teenagers a lot to have freedom.

43. Which of the following statements is true in the opinion of the author?

A. It is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphone.

B. Good friendships between kids harm their school work.

C. Parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friends.

D. Kids should center on the school work without friends outside the school.

44. How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence?

A. Disappointed. B. Frightened. C. Angry. D. Calm.

45. Why does the author hope to have her door locked?

A. To keep her father from reading her dairy.

B. To prevent her mother entering her room.

C. To protect herself from any harm.

D. To stop thieves from going in.

I got my next lesson from rock climbing.It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start.I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing;it was practice.So I did it more.After about five years of climbing,I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall.I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time,you will get better at it.

Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write.Every day I practiced reading and writing,which I used to avoid as much as possible.After two hard years,I was literate. 

Having gone through the long process with art,rock climbing,and reading and writing,now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown,hard,but interesting.
