第二部分　阅读(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

Airplanes are known for "making" people sick. Fortunately, I've got the inside scoop on some practices that will keep you healthy on the plane and a head start on staying healthy during your travels.

Start taking immunity support products BEFORE you begin your trip.

Immunity support products come in a variety of forms. They are designed to prepare your body for physical stress by loading you up on the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants（抗氧化） that support great immune system functioning .

If your body is weak at the beginning of the trip, any germ or bacteria is going to have easy access to your system. Get those defenses in place a few days before travel and give your body the best chance to stay healthy.

Antibacterial wipes are your best friend.

Take a minute to think about that airplane. How many people are touching literally every surface with hands that have blocked a sneeze, been coughed into, held the handrail of the moving sidewalk?

Take along plenty of individually wrapped antibacterial wipes and use them everywhere. Wipe down the armrests, the seat belt buckle, the tray table and the remote control for the in-flight entertainment.

Wear slip-on shoes.

Many articles instruct passengers to wear socks on the airplane for comfort. However, if you walk down the aisle in your socks, or even worse, use the restroom, the bottom of those socks are going to pick up all kinds of dirt. So wear shoes when you move around on the plane! Let your shoes provide a barrier to whatever might be lying on the floor.

21．Why do planes easily make people sick according to the writer?

A．People lack practice to keep fit.

B．There are many bacteria on the plane.

C．People have too much entertainment during the flight.

D．People's immune system fails to work on the plane.

22．How can we protect ourselves from getting sick on the plane?

A．By wearing socks.

B．By stopping feeling stressful.

C．By blocking coughing with hands.

D．By taking some supportive products.

23．What's the best title for the passage?

A．Advice on safety B．A worthwhile trip

C．Stay healthy on a flight D．Be careful of your flight

B

Of course, she wasn't really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us — at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions, so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.

As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse. During those years, my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret.

Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie's visit. One year, after I had helped with the jam process, Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this coin," she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother.” So, I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich.

I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie. In people's eyes Aunt Fannie's success resulted from that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither have made me become a rich person, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.

24．Why did the author always use the name “My Aunt Fannie" in conversations?

A．She liked Aunt Fannie's recipe. B．She was frightened of Aunt Fannie.

C．She enjoyed her parents ’reactions. D．She greatly respected “Aunt Fannie".

25．The underlined word “she” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A．Aunt Fannie B．the author's grandmother

C．the author's mother D．Aunt Fannie' s grandmother

26．In the last paragraph, the author encourages readers to ________.

A．hold onto the first coin in life B．make as many friends as possible

C．make money with their own hands D．spend more time with family and friends

27．What could be the best title for this passage?

A．The Key to Success B．Blueberry Jam Recipe

C．A Fortune Built from a Coin D．A Relationship of Trust

C

When children do something wrong, parents expect an apology. Children often try to read their parents’ mind or butter up (奉承) their parents by saying, “I’m sorry”. Even though they did not do anything wrong, they will act in that way because they are scared to make their parents angry. Children always look timid (胆小的) because they have been anxious or nervous about being punished by parents.

When parents force them to apologize, they will lose the opportunity to think by themselves why they should apologize or what was wrong. So, how can we make them understand properly what was wrong?

If parents never give children a chance and say something like, “That’s not good” or “Say you’re sorry”, children cannot learn to reflect their behavior. So, the first thing that parents should do is listening to their children, asking questions such as what happened, why they did it. Once children have their parents’ attention and feel at ease, they can easily accept their parents’ words.

Children do not have enough skill to tell good or bad things, therefore, it is necessary for parents to teach them what was wrong. When parents explain what was wrong to children, short and simple words should be used as much as possible. Moreover, it would be more effective to tell children what kind of behavior makes parents feel a certain way. For example, it would be good to express mom’s feelings with something like “When you hit me, mommy will get hurt.” “When you call me stupid, I feel sad.”

In this way, children can understand that they hurt mom or they make her sad, therefore, they will become able to apologize naturally. That would be more understandable for children why their behavior was wrong than being scolded by parents something like “Hitting is not good!” “You cannot say stupid to someone else.”

Many people believe that children are too young to understand what parents say, however, children actually can understand a parents, feeling if parents use simple words and speak calmly. Parents should avoid speaking one-sidedly and always try to listen to children. Talking to each other would be the best way.

28．Why do children apologize when they don’t want to?

A．They want to show their politeness. B．They want to please their parents.

C．They show regrets for their mistakes. D．They want to act like their parents.

29．What is important for parents in making children apologize?

A．Timeliness. B．Seriousness. C．Patience. D．Kindness.

30．What should parents do when explaining children’s wrongdoings?

A．Speak briefly and clearly. B．Teach them the harm seriously.

C．Do the same thing to children. D．Show what other children do.

31．What’s the author s advice in correcting children’s bad behaviors?

A．Trying to let children listen to them. B．Communicating with them equally.

C．Giving them a lesson about behaviors. D．Letting them alone because of small age.

D

Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center mapped brain changes after a year of aerobic workouts and uncovered a potentially significant process: Exercise increases blood flow into two key areas of the brain associated with memory.

The study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, showed this blood flow can help even older people with memory issues improve cognition, a finding that could guide future Alzheimer's disease research, according to UT Southwestern Medical Center.

In the study, researchers followed 30 participants who were 60 or older and had memory problems. Half experienced a year of aerobic exercise while the other half did stretches. “We've shown that even when your memory starts to fade, you can still do something about it by adding aerobic exercise to your lifestyle," said Binu Thomas, a senior research scientist of UT Southwestern Medical Center who led the study. "The aerobic exercise group showed a 47% improvement in some memory scores after a year; the other group showed slight change. Brain imaging of the aerobic exercise group, taken while at rest at the beginning and end of the study, showed increased blood flew into the specific brain areas that played important roles in memory function."

Many teams across the world are trying to determine if aerobic exercise might fight memory loss. Evidence is growing that it could at least play a small role in delaying or reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease. For example, a 2018 study showed that people with lower fitness levels experienced faster retrogression of vital nerve fibers in the brain called white matter related to memory.

“Blood flow in the brain connected with memory improvement is still a part of the puzzle, and we need to continue piecing it together," Thomas says. "But we've seen enough date to know that starting a fitness program can have lifelong benefits for our brains as well as our hearts."

32．What is the study mainly about?

A．Old people have memory issues. B．Exercise improves memory.

C．Aerobic workouts benefit mental health. D．Alzheimer's disease can be cured.

33．What happened to participants after one-year aerobic exercise?

A．Earlier memories were refreshed. B．Memory scores showed very small change.

C．Brain imaging remained the same. D．More blood flew into memory-related areas.

34．What does the underlined word “retrogression“ mean in the fourth paragraph?

A．Growth. B．Recovery. C．Decline. D．Extension.

35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Further research work requires doing. B．More people experience memory loss.

C．Mystery of brain blood flow has been solved. D．Signs of memory loss can be discovered earlier.

It's a funny and true experience. Now when Mike thinks of it, he laughs a lot, but when it happened , Mike was really frightened. He is going to tell it to you. Once when Mike was a child, maybe eight years old, he had a frightening experience. Mike thinks about it frequently. He was in his house with all his family. Mike cannot remember when it happened very well, but it was possibly at Christmas. They were going to have a big supper and Mike was very happy because he liked to eat a lot. Besides, Mike hadn't eaten for a long time. Therefore, he was starving. He became very angry, because Mike saw his mother and his aunt talking for a long time. This made him angry, because Mike didn't want to wait any longer. Moreover, it was time for having supper. Weren't they starving?

"Mother, what happened with the food?" Mike asked. Then she looked at him seriously and said, "You need more patience, my honey."

"Yes," Mike replied, "I see. I need to be patient. Nevertheless, I can't be patient today, because I am starving. "

Time passed, and finally dinner was on the table. The first dish was "puchero".   Puchero is one of his favorite dishes; this dish has chicken, rice, vegetables, and pork. Also, it's a very hot dish, so usually you need to wait at least half an hour before you start to eat. You can enjoy its taste better when it's not so hot. Nevertheless, when Mike saw it on the table, he got a spoon and started to eat quickly. In a moment, his face was red, and there was a strange feeling on his tongue. Mike had burned it. Immediately, Mike shouted in pain and his mother asked him, "What is the matter?"

"Mother, help me! I think my tongue is going to fall off! Send me to see the doctor. " Mike screamed crazily.

"Do not worry, my child. Your father is going to take you to the hospital, said his mother. Mike looked at his mother's face and he could tell she was concerned.

One possible version:

Then his father and Mike went to the hospital. When they arrived there, Mike tried to tell the doctor his problem, but Mike could not do it because he was very nervous. His father did it for him. Mike does not remember his father's words exactly, but he said something like, “Doctor, I think my son burned his tongue, because he ate a pretty hot dish. ” “Open your mouth,” the doctor said after he'd heard his father's words.

Mike did it slowly. He looked at his tongue for a long time. "Do not worry, little guy. Your tongue is very hot, but it will not fall off," the doctor finally said. When the doctor said that, his father started laughing happily. Soon the doctor was also laughing. He was embarrassed.

However, Mike was happy because his tongue would not fall off. Mike has learned one important thing since that day. Patience is a great virtue. Mike thinks this is the funniest experience that he has had in his life.
