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）
A
Denmark It is one big party for children in the land of Hans Christian Andersen: there are children's sections in the best museums with any number of other attractions elsewhere. The whole family can enjoy a cycle ride anywhere in the country.
Attractions »Exploring Den Gamle By at Aarhus on foot or in a horse-drawn carriage. Wander around this 19th-century village consisting of original buildings (schools and houses), which have been rebuilt here.
»Andersen's neighbourhood in his native city of Odense, where the streets are lined with beautiful little houses. One of these is occupied by the Hans Christian Andersen Museum.
»Rosenborg Castle: in summer, picnic in the King's grounds and watch a free puppet show.
»Tivoli Gardens: funfair rides and other attractions are scattered among the flower beds.
BEST TIME TO GO The best time to visit Denmark is from May to the end of August, when the temperatures are mild(温和的); the scenery is at its most beautiful and the days are longer. The rest of the year is cold and the nights are never-ending. Many places close from October to May.
COST Denmark's hardly cheap, but it's less expensive than its Scandinavian neighbours. Hotels, car hire, meals and supplies are subject to the 25% value-added tax.
GETTING AROUND Denmark is ideal cycling land: there are many cycle lanes, and bikes can be rented almost anywhere and taken on trains, boats and buses. A large network of boats serves the islands, but you can reach the bigger islands by road bridge - it's expensive, as is car hire. Some good news: the motorways are free.
21. Where should visitors go to watch old architecture?
A.Den Gamle By. B.Andersen's neighbourhood.
C.Rosenborg Castle. D.Tivoli Gardens.
22. What will happen in September in Denmark?
A.It will become warmer. B.More visitors will come.
C.Many places will be closed. D.The nights will last very long.
23. What do we know about Denmark?
A.It's cheap to rent a car. B.It's very easy to rent a bike.
C.You can't take a bike onto a bus. D.Driving on the motorways is expensive.

Ekaterina Dzalaeva is 83 years old, but she isn't retired. She has been delivering mail between the Russia's districts of Mizur, Buron and Tsei for over 50 years. Now she has the title of Russia's oldest postal worker.
Her postal route covered a round trip distance of approximately 40 kilometres. Dzalaeva would do this six days a week. In recent times, she frequently gets lifts from passing cars to her destination and does not walk as far as she previously would. She says that she prefers to walk, as when she walks she chats and communicates with people.
When the postwoman was in the ninth grade, she dropped out as there was no one to look after the land and cut the hay(干草). She attempted to find work. It was during this period that the young Dzalaeva ended up landing a job at the post office.
"When I was a little girl, one senior man worked as a postman. And all the people were waiting for him. It was during the war. And I was among those who ran towards him," she said. She hoped to be able to bring letters home to her family from her brother because she knew that would make them happy. When the town's mailman retired, she asked the manager to employ her and promised to do her best. She was hired and has been doing it ever since.
When asked whether it is worth risking life to deliver the mail to remote mountain areas inhabited by bears and wolves, she said, "I'm not afraid of anything. If I die, I'll be with my brothers and parents. People say there's something after life. I'm not so sure, but I'd like to hope so."
24. How did Dzalaeva deliver the mail?
A. On foot. B. By bicycle. C. By getting a lift. D. By sharing a ride.
25.What made Dzalaeva give up school?
A. Being eager to find a job. B. Starting her own business.
C. Loosing interest in learning. D. Helping support her family.
26. Why did Dzalaeva expect to see the senior postman?
A. To take over his job. B. To hear from her brother.
C. To please the manager. D. To learn about the war news.
27. What can we learn about Dzalaeva?
A. She is friendly and creative. B. She is stubborn and cautious.
C. She is fearless and hard-working. D. She is careful and humorous.
C
Many of us buy books, electronics and virtually any household item we can think of from Amazon. Did you know that Amazon sells over 480 million different types of stuff on their online store? Besides being a marketplace for our everyday essentials, Amazon has pioneered many products such as the Kindle ebook reader, and tire intelligent personal assistant, Alexa—invading our homes and lives in more ways than we realize.
    On June 16, 2017, Amazon announced that it would buy the natural and organic retailer, Whole Foods Market for ＄13.7 billion. Most experts view this acquisition by Amazon to be a significant game-changer for the retail industry.
    In the 1990s, when Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, began selling books online from his garage. He was able to affect the ecommerce platform he created, to expand and offer many other household goods. The benefit of comparing products and prices, ordering goods online and having them delivered to your home was initially a novelty. It soon began to change the way customers shopped.
    Along the way, big retailers such as Walmart and Target, grocery chains such as Kroger and Safeway, and wholesale clubs like Costco and Sam’s Club started reeling because of the “Amazon effect.” In less than two decades, Amazon has grown to be valued at $480 billion today to become the world's largest online retailer.
    For all of Amazon's strength in competitive prices and fast and reliable shipping, they have been unable to serve customers who prefer to touch and feel items before they buy it. Selling fresh produce had also been difficult for them because of the lack of a physical store. Meanwhile, the organic food supplier Whole Foods has been struggling because of the increased competition from traditional grocery chains who are now offering more organic goods. But it has an important asset that Amazon desires—physical store front.
    In the near future it is quite possible that your next order of organic fresh produce may be delivered by an Amazon drone. Or you might find yourself driving to a local Whole Foods store to pick up the competitively priced book or electronic item that you bought from Amazon.
28. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.Amazon's Alexa will invade our life. B.We can buy anything from Amazon.
C.Our lives are under the control of Amazon. D.Amazon is more than an online market place.
29. How do Walmart and Costco find the "Amazon effect”?
A.Shocking. B.Exciting. C.Interesting. D.Rewarding.
30. The acquisition of Whole Foods Market by Amazon is mainly because ________.
A.Whole Foods had no physical store front B.Whole Foods failed to deal in organic goods
C.Whole Foods had no reliable shipping D.Whole Foods didn't allow customers to touch items
31. What might be the best title for the text?
A.Amazon: the Biggest Online Market B.Amazon: Everything Is Sold on It
C.Amazon: from Books to Groceries D.Amazon: Books Are Most Popular
D
You can relax if remembering everything isn't your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength--in fact selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.
Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers found that the neurobiology of forgetting 10 02001U0 can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.
Making intelligent decisions doesn't mean you need to have all the information at hand. It just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our brains do this by creating new neurons(神经元) in our hippocampus, which have the power to overwrite(重写) existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.
If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brains' learning region, try exercising. Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.
When we forget the names of certain clients or details about old jobs, the brain is making a choice that these details don't matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant past details. Instead, the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation.
We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail. These findings show us that total recall can be overvalued. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.
32.How can we help our brains produce more neurons?
A.By having deep sleep frequently. B.By practicing swimming regularly.
C.By doing mental labor repeatedly. D.By learning new skills constantly.
33.Which of the following can best replace "facilitate" underlined in Paragraph 5?
A.Postpone. B.Repeat. C.Promote. D.Abuse.
34.What conclusion can be drawn from the text?
A.Memory loss is well worth noticing. B.Decisions can't be made without memories.
C.We shouldn't stress total recall too much. D.Forgetting is even more important than remembering.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Caution: do remember to forget. B.Why and how people choose to forget.
C.Want to become smarter? Learn to forget D.Being forgetful might mean you are smarter

Dear Tom,
How are you doing these days? I am thinking about a book-sharing program and writing to ask you for some advice.
It is a fact that we all have many books. However, some books seem to be useless once read. Seldom will we read them again. But by sharing books we can not only read more books without any cost but also influence others to do more reading.
To carry out this program, I together with some friends will take out our books to share on weekends. I think this will attract more people to join in. Secondly, we will organize some activities from time to time to share our opinions about reading. What do you think of my program?
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Yours,
Li Hua
