第二部分 阅读理解（共两节 满分35分）
第一节 （共10小题，每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将其涂黑。
A
The suicide rate in America is up by 18% since 2000. This is not merely a tragedy; it matters politically, too. The rise is largely among white, middle-aged, poorly educated men in areas that were left behind by booms and crushed by busts. Their deaths are a symptom of troubles that should not be ignored.
Nonetheless, beyond America’s gloomy trend is a more optimistic story: that at a global level, suicide is down by 29% since 2000. As a result, 2.8m lives have been saved in that time—three times as many as have been killed in battle. There is no one reason. It is happening at different rates among different groups in different places.
Why are people now less likely to take their own lives? Urbanization and greater freedom have helped. Accounts of those who attempt suicide, and of the relatives of those who succeed, suggest that many young Asian women were driven to despair by violent husbands and overbearing in-laws. As people move to cities and the grip of tradition loosens, women have more choice about whom they marry or live with, making life more bearable. Leaving the village helps in another way, too. Because farming involves killing things, rural folk are likelier to have the means to kill themselves—guns, pesticides—to hand.
Efforts to control access to the means to kill oneself can help, too. Suicide is surprisingly impulsive. A study of young Chinese women who had tried to kill themselves showed that three-fifths had been contemplating suicide for less than two hours, and one in ten for less than a minute. Of 515 people who had survived the leap from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge between 1937 and 1971, 94% were still alive in 1978—which suggests that a suicide postponed is likely to be a suicide prevented.
21. Which is not the reason of suicide decreasing?
A. More freedom B. More forced marriages C. Urbanization D. More control on means
22. We can infer from paragraph4 that________
A. many people decided to kill themselves after a serious consideration
B. about 484 people still alive in 1978 after surviving the leap between 1937 and 1971
C. 515 people tried to suicide by jumping from Golden Gate Bridge between 1937 and 1971
D. three-fifths young Chinese women may decide to suicide within 2 hours
23. What should be the best title for the text?
A. More lives have been saved B. Suicide is surprisingly impulsive
C. A suicide postponed is a suicide prevented D. Why suicide is falling around the world
B
Frances O’Grady, the head of Britain’s Trades Union Congress, threw down a gauntlet on September 10th. “We can win a four-day working week,” she told members. The demand is far from new. Shorter working weeks have been tried in New Zealand and Sweden, where they resulted in happier, healthier and more motivated employees. Those who work shorter weeks are also reported to be more productive. Should weekends, therefore, be lengthened?
France’s experience suggests workers may not leap at the chance of hard work for fewer hours. The government reduced the full-time worker’s week to 35 hours in 2000. Last year the French worked 38.9 hours a week on average, seeming happy to labour above the required level and pocket the extra pay or holiday allowance.
And businesses may not seize the opportunity either. Working less may be linked to higher productivity (on a per-hour basis), but overall output could still fall because of the smaller number of hours worked. That will not get governments or employers excited.
Advocates of a four-day week could claim that improving people’s quality of life is more important than boosting the economy. In an essay published during The Great Depression, John Maynard Keynes wrote of an “age of leisure and abundance” in which technological advances would allow people to work 15-hour weeks.
Unfortunately for any readers working on a Friday afternoon, Keynes jumped the gun. Even Ms O’Grady, now demanding for a longer weekend, is pessimistic in her timescale. A four-day week is apparently achievable “in this century”.
24. What does the underlined phrase “threw down a gauntlet” mean in paragraph 1?
A. delivered a speech B. made an announcement C. issued a challenge D. appealed to public attention
25. Government and employers may be against a longer weekend because___________
A. longer weekends lead to lower efficiency
B. a four-day working week is a rather new idea
C. longer weekends is not practical
D. shorter weekdays cause overall output falling
26. What is Ms O’Grady’s attitude toward longer weekends?
A. Realizable B. Disapproval C. Negative D. Neutral

C
Humans and elephants don't always get along. In Africa and Asia, elephants damage public facilities, farmers' crops, and natural habitat critical for other species. If an elephant becomes a problem, humans may kill it. So local people are trying to find better ways to keep elephants away from sensitive places. Now, researchers think they have a good tool to discourage elephants: honeybee.
"Elephants strongly dislike being bitten in the trunk, so it's an extremely sensitive organ. Imagine being bitten in your nose by a bee, and multiply that a few thousand times." Mark Wright, a professor of entomology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Kenyan farmers have long known that if they hang live beehives around their farms, they will drive elephants away. "The problem is how do you manage hundreds of thousands of hives, if you have a huge area to protect? And then the idea came up to look at the alarm, which are chemicals that the bees release to launch an attack on something that's robbing the hive." Because elephants have a highly developed sense of smell, Wright and his team thought they might be able to use the bees' chemical alarm signal to affect elephant behavior.
So the researchers tested out chemicals that imitate honeybees' alarm. In Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, the team hung white socks treated with the mixture as well as untreated control socks around an elephant watering hole, and then observed the animals' behavior. "Elephants are really curious organisms, they'll walk along and see something like a sock hanging on a branch in the environment, and they'll inspect it, and if it's not treated with the alarm, they'll pick it up, throw it around, try to taste it, things like that. And in the case of the treated ones, we found that they would show immediate signs of unease or uncertainty, and they'd eventually back off from them. Very seldom would they go pick them up and play with them."The study is in the journal Current Biology.
Next up, the researchers plan to refine the mixture, in order to get an even stronger avoidance response from elephants. That way, these remarkable animals will stay far away from wherever they should not be going—and both elephants and humans can coexist a bit more peacefully.
27. According to the author, what would people do if an elephant continually destroys the farm?
A. They would drive it away.
B. They would beat it hard.
C. They may force it to live in a poor area.
D. They may kill it without mercy.
28.The chemicals can successfully drive elephants away because of_________.
A. elephants’ sensitive trunk
B. elephants’ well developed sense of smell
C. elephants’ powerful hearing
D. elephants’ huge curiosity
29. According to paragraph 5, when an elephant find a sock with chemicals, it feels________.
A. pleasant B. curious C. nervous D. thrilled
30. Where might you read the text?
A. In a scientific magazine
B. On the school notice board
C. At an exhibition
D. In a newspaper
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。
It’s possible to be straightforward about climate change with our children and protect their emotional well-being. Here are some ways to help children be part of the team that relieves the impact of climate change, so they don’t have to despair over the future.
Don't overdo the news
Although adults may want to watch and listen to the news, a little goes a long way for children. “There’s a difference between being prepared and being overwhelmed, especially for kids,” she said. “I don’t want them to feel hopeless.” The news cycle can be too much, especially if a child is sensitive. “When you have anxious kids watching the TV or anxious families ,you literally see an uptick in kids’ anxiety,” she says. “When parents do doom and gloom and watch TV a lot, they’re hurting their children.” It’s the responsibility of parents and caregivers to regulate their kids’ media consumption; ________31_________.
Know your child
________32___________. It’s not so much about keeping kids away from every bit of information about rising temperatures and extinction, and it’s that “you handle it differently. You change the words depending on their age, their sophistication and what we think they can handle — what they need.”
Emphasize agency
At home or in school, parents and educators can pair environmental studies with actionable steps such as having kids organize a challenge to increase the number of students and faculty bringing reusable bottles to school. They can research how many species have thrived under the Endangered Species Act or find a way to compost cafeteria scraps. _______33________. Families can support an environmental organization, plan a park cleanup or host a bake sale to raise money for habitat preservation of a kid’s favorite endangered animal.
_______34___________
None of us will be able to make a dent in all aspects of climate change on our own, but we can break down the issues into bite-size, manageable pieces. ______35__________ whether that’s supporting science and tech to help manage rising sea levels, getting involved in politics to protect those who have to leave flooded land, or helping physically move displaced people.
A. Try something new.
B. Manage what you can manage
C. They simply do not need to know everything.
D. We can explore many ways that we can change outcome.
E. Inviting children to brainstorm for progress helps energize and give them help.
F. It is up to parents to assess how much their children can take.
G. Last month, they even weighted it classroom by classroom to measure their sorting success.

Students who have used electronic cigarettes which deliver nicotine to the lungs by heating a liquid solution by the time they start ninth grade are more likely than others to start smoking traditional cigarettes and other flammable tobacco products within the next year, according to a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health.
The study compared first tobacco use among 222 students who had used e-cigarettes, but not flammable tobacco products, and 2,308 who had neither used e-cigarettes or combustible tobacco products when initially surveyed at the start of ninth grade. During the first six months after being surveyed, 30.7 percent of those who had used e-cigarettes started using combustible tobacco products, such as cigarettes, and cigars, compared to only 8.1 percent of those who had never used e-cigarettes. Over the following six months leading into the start of 10th grade, 25.2 percent of e-cigarette users had used combustible tobacco products, compared to just 9.3 percent of nonusers.
“While teen tobacco use has fallen in recent years, this study confirms that we should continue to carefully watch teen smoking patterns,” said NIDA Director Nora. “Parents and teens should recognize that although e-cigarettes might not have the same carcinogenic(致癌的) effects of regular cigarettes, they do carry a risk of addiction.”
Data were collected as part of a supplementary survey of substance use and mental health among high school students in Los Angeles. The study surveyed students from 10 public high schools. The analysis focused on 2,530 students who initially reported never using combustible tobacco and underwent follow-up assessments after six and 12 months. Students were asked about lifetime and past six-month use of e-cigarettes, and other tobacco related products.
“Using e-cigarettes for enjoyment is becoming increasingly popular among teens who have never smoked tobacco. Adolescents who enjoy the experience of inhaling nicotine via e-cigarettes could be more apt to experiment with other nicotine products, including smokeable tobacco,” said Adam M. Leventhal, Ph.D., the first author on the study. “While we cannot conclude that e-cigarette use directly leads to smoking, this research raises concerns that recent increases in youth e-cigarette use could finally help the outbreak of smoking-related illness."

25. D 细节题。通过通读第三段，我们可以知道，…but overall output could still fall because of the smaller number of hours worked. That will not get governments or employers excited.因此，企业和政府不同意的主要原因便是生产总量的减少。
26. C 态度观点题。通过阅读最后一段，我们可以知道Even Ms O’Grady, now demanding for a longer weekend, is pessimistic in her timescale. A four-day week is apparently achievable “in this century”即使是提出这一观点的Ms O’Grady对这一政策的实现还是一种悲观的态度。

Dear Mary,
Recently, a great number of international volunteers are deadly needed to support the Summer Camp of our school. Knowing that you show great interests in it, I am writing to recommend this activity to you.
