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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Broad Band:by Claire L.Evans.Portfolio,2018($27)
Though often outnumbered by men,women stayed in the booming field of computing.In this inspiring tale,writer Evans records the contributions of some of the many women who aided the rise of the modern Internet.Memorable characters include Elizabeth“Jake”Feinler,an information scientist who helped researchers navigate the Arpane and Stacy Horn,who started one of the first social networks,Echo.
The Wizard and the Prophet:by Charles C.Mann.Knopf,2018($28.95)
The human population is moving toward 10 billion — some experts think we’11 nearly hit that mark by 2050.How will the earth feed,house and otherwise support such a crowd? Environmental thinkers usually fall into one of two camps:those who prefer conservation and controlling consumption,like William Vogt,and those who trust innovation to solve our problems,Norman Borlaug,for example.Writer Mann carefully records the lives and thought of the founders of these two philosophies.
A Lab of One’s Own:by Patricia Fara.Oxford University Press,2018($24.95)
In World War I many women in the U.K.replaced their aprons with chemical suits and stepped into previously male—only fields of science,where they led war research efforts.Science historian Fara illustrates the lives of many of these forgotten women.Although the era marked a major step forward for women scientists,many worked for small wages in an environment of discrimination.In the nearly 100 years since,women have come a long way,Fara writes,but the glass ceilings remain solid and the pipelines leaky.
Atom Land:by Jon Butterworth.The Experiment,2018($19.95)
Butterworth takes readers on an amusing journey through the unknown world of particle(粒子)physics.The first stop is“Atom Land,”where Butterworth explains how electrons,protons and neutrons come together to build up everything we know.As the journey unfolds,we learn about lesser—known particles.Thankfully,our ship is equipped with tools such as mathematical equations(方程式)and a“laser light”that lights up the darkest of concepts.
21.Who focuses on the future of our earth?
A.Claire L.Evans. B.Charles C.Mann.
C.Patricia Fara. D.Jon Butterworth.
22.Which books will you probably read if you are interested in women’s career?

B
Adrian Lame,a Colombian-American threat analyst and former hacker,died in Sedgwick County,Kansas on Friday,at the age of 37.He was best known for passing on information that led to the arrest of Chelsea Manning.
Lame first gained media attention in the early 2000s for breaking into several high-Profile computer networks,including those of The New York Times,Yahoo,and Microsoft,ending in his 2003 arrest when he eventually turned himself in.
However,Lame gained worldwide ill reputation in 2010 for disclosing to the FBI that the U.S.soldier,Chelsea Manning had leaked confidential information to Wikileaks.Manning had reached out to Lamo via a messaging app and told him that he had gained access to hundreds of thousands of classified documents and had leaked to Wikileaks a video of U.S.military forces in a helicopter machine madly gunning down journalists and Iraqi civilians.But,Lamo chose to report him and informed the U.S.military of the leak.
Held responsible for the biggest leak of classified data in U.S.history,Manning was declared guilty by court martial and was sentenced to 35 years in prison,but was granted mercy by former President Barack Obama,who said his prison term was“disproportionate”.
Looking back on his decision to give up Manning,Lamo told US News and World Report in 2017 that it was“not his most honorable moment”.
However,he added that he had learned a lot from the experience,including that“you can’t really know a person or their motives unless you’ve sat where they sat and seen the situation through their eyes,no matter how much you believe you do”.
24.What type of writing is this text?
A.A biography. B.A fiction.
C.A news report. D.A critical essay.
25.What made Adrian Lamo have a bad name all over the world?
A.Turning FBI in.
B.Giving up Chelsea Manning.
C.Hacking some famous networks.
D.Leaking military information to Wikileaks.
26.What does the underlined word“disproportionate”mean in paragraph 4?
A.Fair. B.Ambiguous. C.Improper. D.Acceptable.
27.What does Adrian Lamo imply by his words in the last paragraph?
A.Honesty is the best policy.
B.Put yourself in others’shoes.
C.A friend is easier lost than found.
D.Don’t judge a person by his appearance.
C
Charity is simple in theory:A heart warms,a hand reaches out.In practice,though,charity can become a troubled mix of motives and consequences.Giving can be driven by guilt,duty,praise,or perhaps the hope that giving will somehow make up for past cruelty or ignorance.Too little charity is far less than valuable.Too much can cause dependence which makes the receiver continuously ask for more.
Giving from the heart is good.But critics have long worried about misdirected charity that does more harm than good.In his 2012 book,“Harmful Charity:How Churches and Charities Hurt Those They Help(And How to Solve the Problem),”Robert Lupton,an experienced social worker of 40 years of community work in inner-city Atlanta,argues that charity must not do for the poor what they can do for themselves.
Due to emergencies such as natural disasters,the afterward financial aid is greatly welcome.Mr.Lupton advocates it should focus on the development of self-supporting.The task can be carried out via,for instance,offering microloans,hiring local builders and suppliers,and trying to found self-supported,locally owned and operated enterprises.What seldom works,he argues,are untargeted handouts from far-off providers and the sudden arrival of inexperienced volunteer-tourists hoping to earn personal reputation by digging wells or mending roofs that locals are perfectly able to take care of themselves.
Getting charity right isn’t easy.But from money raising to the boom in volunteering among Millennials(千禧一代),from the increasing worldwide willingness to give to the efforts by charity organizations to become more effective and fruitful,there is strong evidence that human beings’ ability of taking care of others is growing along with their ability to help without harming.
Charity can be as simple as holding the door for a stranger and as complex as a global campaign to get rid of malaria(疟疾).Charity works best when it returns the weak to strength when it helps a small town shaken by a heavy earthquake get back on its feet.A successful charity is one that eventually is no longer needed.
28.Why have critics worried about misdirected charity?
A.It may do harm to receivers. B.It may cause independence.
C.It can be driven by guilt. D.It can be encouraged by duty.
29.What can be a proper way to give charity in time of natural disasters?
A.Hiring far-off volunteers.
B.Digging wells for victims.
C.Giving out untargeted handouts.
D.Helping locals to be self-supported.
30.What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A.It’s easy to give charity without harming.
B.Millennials are volunteering to raise money.
C.People’s ability of giving charity is improving.
D.Charity organizations are spreading all over the world.
31.What is the main idea of the text?
A.The world is in need of charity. B.It's necessary to get charity right.
C.Charity does more good than harm. D.Giving charity is helping ourselves.
D
Kaiflin Woolley and Ayelet Fishbach report in Psychological Science that a meal taken“family-style”from a central plate can greatly improve the outcome of later negotiations.
Having conducted previous research in 2017 revealing that eating similar foods led to people feeling emotionally closer to one another,Dr Woolley and Dr Fishbach wondered whether the way in which food was served also had a psychological effect.They theorized that,on the one hand,sharing food with other people might indicate food scarcity(短缺)and increase a feeling of competition.However,they also reasoned that it could instead lead people to become more aware of others’needs and drive cooperative behavior as a result.Curious to find out,they did a series of experiments.
For the first test they recruited 100 pairs of participants from a local café,none of whom knew each other.The participants were seated at a table and fed tortilla chips with salsa.Half the pairs were given their own basket of 20 grams of chips and a bowl of 25 grams of salsa,and half were given 40 grams of chips and 50 grams of salsa to share.As a cover for the experiment,all participants were told this snack was to be consumed before the game began.
The game asked the participants to negotiate an hourly wage rate during a fictional strike.Each person was randomly assigned to represent the union or management and follow a set of rules.
The researchers measured cooperation by noting the number of rounds it took to reach an agreement,and found that those who shared food resolved the strike significantly faster(in 8.7 rounds)than those who did not(13.2 rounds).A similar experiment was conducted with 104 participants and Goldfish crackers(饼干),this time negotiating an airline’s route prices.The results were much the same,with the food-sharers negotiating successfully 63.3%of the time and those who did not share doing so 42.9%of the time.
32.What does the“family-style”meal in the report refer to?
A.A meal taken at home. B.A meal shared with others.
C.A meal consumed by oneself. D.A meal taken in a family atmosphere.
33.For what purpose did the researchers carry out the present experiments?
A.To show the way food is served.
B.To prove sharing food increases competition.
C.To confirm sharing food can promote cooperation.
D.To find out whether sharing food can get people close emotionally.
34.Why were participants asked to eat up the snack before the game?
A.To add to their energy.
B.To reward them for their participation.
C.To hide the intention of the experiment.
D.To avoid the distraction during the game.
35.How did Dr Woolley and Dr Fishbach prove their point of view?
A.By making a questionnaire.
B.By giving participants interviews.
C.By analysing the reasons for cooperation.
D.By comparing the results of the experiments.
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。
You can take fish oil supplements.You can invest in a language class.There aye countless methods to improve your memory and cognitive functioning. 36 .It’s called reading.It is amazing how such an ordinary activity can improve your brain in so many ways.
The most basic impact occurs in the brain area associated with language reception.Compared with processing spoken language,reading encourages the brain to work harder and better. 37 .A study found that some of those benefits lasted for five days.
Reading also energizes the region responsible for motor activity.That’s because the brain is a very lively play actor.when it is reading about a physical activity,the neurons(神经元)that control that activity get busy as well.You may not actually be riding a horse when you’re reading Seabiscuit,but your brain acts as if it is. 38 ,the better it is for your overall cognitive performance.
What if you are a poor reader who feels as if you'll never be able to read enough to harvest these benefits? 39 .Scientists studied children aged eight to ten who were below-average readers.One hundred hours of reading classes significantly improved the quality of their brains’white matter-the tissue that carries signals between areas of gray matter,where information is processed.
40 .Results from a study indicate that close literary reading gives your brain a better workout than leisurely reading.The ability to read closely needs to be developed.So turn off your phone and your computer,set aside a good hour or two—and just read.
A.Reading is good for your health
B.A book can fix that problem too
C.If you read books on a regular basis
D.Not all reading is actually created equal
E.And the benefits continue long after reading
F.The more parts of your brain that get a workout
G.But the most effective way to sharpen your brain is right here

The poem is The Awaiting Stone by Wang Jian,one of the most famous poet in the Tang Dynasty.The poem sings highly praise for a wife’s love for her husband.Every time I read the poem,a sad-looking woman stands in the rain and wind seems to appear in the front of me, waiting for her husband to return.The poem rhyme and is very short,which makes it easy understand.That’s because it has been popular ever since.
I hope you will like them and the Chinese culture as well.
Yours,
Li Hua

Adrian Lame,a Colombian-American threat analyst and former hacker,died in Sedgwick County,Kansas on Friday,at the age of 37.He was best known for passing on information that led to the arrest of Chelsea Manning.
Lame first gained media attention in the early 2000s for breaking into several high-Profile computer networks,including those of The New York Times,Yahoo,and Microsoft,ending in his 2003 arrest when he eventually turned himself in.
However,Lame gained worldwide ill reputation in 2010 for disclosing to the FBI that the U.S.soldier,Chelsea Manning had leaked confidential information to Wikileaks.Manning had reached out to Lamo via a messaging app and told him that he had gained access to hundreds of thousands of classified documents and had leaked to Wikileaks a video of U.S.military forces in a helicopter machine madly gunning down journalists and Iraqi civilians.But,Lamo chose to report him and informed the U.S.military of the leak.
Held responsible for the biggest leak of classified data in U.S.history,Manning was declared guilty by court martial and was sentenced to 35 years in prison,but was granted mercy by former President Barack Obama,who said his prison term was“disproportionate”.
Looking back on his decision to give up Manning,Lamo told US News and World Report in 2017 that it was“not his most honorable moment”.
However,he added that he had learned a lot from the experience,including that“you can’t really know a person or their motives unless you’ve sat where they sat and seen the situation through their eyes,no matter how much you believe you do”.

Charity is simple in theory:A heart warms,a hand reaches out.In practice,though,charity can become a troubled mix of motives and consequences.Giving can be driven by guilt,duty,praise,or perhaps the hope that giving will somehow make up for past cruelty or ignorance.Too little charity is far less than valuable.Too much can cause dependence which makes the receiver continuously ask for more.
Giving from the heart is good.But critics have long worried about misdirected charity that does more harm than good.In his 2012 book,“Harmful Charity:How Churches and Charities Hurt Those They Help(And How to Solve the Problem),”Robert Lupton,an experienced social worker of 40 years of community work in inner-city Atlanta,argues that charity must not do for the poor what they can do for themselves.
Due to emergencies such as natural disasters,the afterward financial aid is greatly welcome.Mr.Lupton advocates it should focus on the development of self-supporting.The task can be carried out via,for instance,offering microloans,hiring local builders and suppliers,and trying to found self-supported,locally owned and operated enterprises.What seldom works,he argues,are untargeted handouts from far-off providers and the sudden arrival of inexperienced volunteer-tourists hoping to earn personal reputation by digging wells or mending roofs that locals are perfectly able to take care of themselves.
Getting charity right isn’t easy.But from money raising to the boom in volunteering among Millennials(千禧一代),from the increasing worldwide willingness to give to the efforts by charity organizations to become more effective and fruitful,there is strong evidence that human beings’ ability of taking care of others is growing along with their ability to help without harming.
Charity can be as simple as holding the door for a stranger and as complex as a global campaign to get rid of malaria(疟疾).Charity works best when it returns the weak to strength when it helps a small town shaken by a heavy earthquake get back on its feet.A successful charity is one that eventually is no longer needed.
28.Why have critics worried about misdirected charity?
A.It may do harm to receivers. B.It may cause independence.
C.It can be driven by guilt. D.It can be encouraged by duty.
29.What can be a proper way to give charity in time of natural disasters?
A.Hiring far-off volunteers.
B.Digging wells for victims.
C.Giving out untargeted handouts.
D.Helping locals to be self-supported.
30.What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A.It’s easy to give charity without harming.
B.Millennials are volunteering to raise money.
C.People’s ability of giving charity is improving.
D.Charity organizations are spreading all over the world.
31.What is the main idea of the text?
A.The world is in need of charity. B.It's necessary to get charity right.
C.Charity does more good than harm. D.Giving charity is helping ourselves.

Kaiflin Woolley and Ayelet Fishbach report in Psychological Science that a meal taken“family-style”from a central plate can greatly improve the outcome of later negotiations.
Having conducted previous research in 2017 revealing that eating similar foods led to people feeling emotionally closer to one another,Dr Woolley and Dr Fishbach wondered whether the way in which food was served also had a psychological effect.They theorized that,on the one hand,sharing food with other people might indicate food scarcity(短缺)and increase a feeling of competition.However,they also reasoned that it could instead lead people to become more aware of others’needs and drive cooperative behavior as a result.Curious to find out,they did a series of experiments.
For the first test they recruited 100 pairs of participants from a local café,none of whom knew each other.The participants were seated at a table and fed tortilla chips with salsa.Half the pairs were given their own basket of 20 grams of chips and a bowl of 25 grams of salsa,and half were given 40 grams of chips and 50 grams of salsa to share.As a cover for the experiment,all participants were told this snack was to be consumed before the game began.
The game asked the participants to negotiate an hourly wage rate during a fictional strike.Each person was randomly assigned to represent the union or management and follow a set of rules.
The researchers measured cooperation by noting the number of rounds it took to reach an agreement,and found that those who shared food resolved the strike significantly faster(in 8.7 rounds)than those who did not(13.2 rounds).A similar experiment was conducted with 104 participants and Goldfish crackers(饼干),this time negotiating an airline’s route prices.The results were much the same,with the food-sharers negotiating successfully 63.3%of the time and those who did not share doing so 42.9%of the time.
32.What does the“family-style”meal in the report refer to?
A.A meal taken at home. B.A meal shared with others.
C.A meal consumed by oneself. D.A meal taken in a family atmosphere.
33.For what purpose did the researchers carry out the present experiments?
A.To show the way food is served.
B.To prove sharing food increases competition.
C.To confirm sharing food can promote cooperation.
D.To find out whether sharing food can get people close emotionally.
34.Why were participants asked to eat up the snack before the game?
A.To add to their energy.
B.To reward them for their participation.
C.To hide the intention of the experiment.
D.To avoid the distraction during the game.
35.How did Dr Woolley and Dr Fishbach prove their point of view?
A.By making a questionnaire.
B.By giving participants interviews.
C.By analysing the reasons for cooperation.
D.By comparing the results of the experiments.

What if you are a poor reader who feels as if you'll never be able to read enough to harvest these benefits? 39 .Scientists studied children aged eight to ten who were below-average readers.One hundred hours of reading classes significantly improved the quality of their brains’white matter-the tissue that carries signals between areas of gray matter,where information is processed.
40 .Results from a study indicate that close literary reading gives your brain a better workout than leisurely reading.The ability to read closely needs to be developed.So turn off your phone and your computer,set aside a good hour or two—and just read.

Dear Henry,
I'm more than delighted to hear of you.As for the ancient Chinese poems what impress me most,I'd like to share one with you.
The poem is The Awaiting Stone by Wang Jian,one of the most famous poet in the Tang Dynasty.The poem sings highly praise for a wife’s love for her husband.Every time I read the poem,a sad-looking woman stands in the rain and wind seems to appear in the front of me, waiting for her husband to return.The poem rhyme and is very short,which makes it easy understand.That’s because it has been popular ever since.
I hope you will like them and the Chinese culture as well.
Yours,
Li Hua
