四、阅读理解（共20小题，每题2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

The cost of living in countries like the United States, Britain, Australia or France has increased in recent years. But, if you're willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries having an extremely cheap and low cost of living.So, if you have the flexibility of living wherever you please, and want to live in a country the cost of living is the cheapest in the world, check out these 3 countries when planning your next move.

Cambodia

Cambodia may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of a tropical paradise, but it's pretty close.The added bonus（额外津贴） is that living here is insanely cheap, unlike some other tropical getaways.A luxury home with four bedrooms and a pool would only cost about $600 a month.A decent three bedroom vacation home can be purchased here for just $20，000. And, for only about $2，000 a year, you can also hire a gardener and housekeeper to take care of your property.

Ecuador

Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result, it has become a popular American getaway.They even use the US Dollar for their currency.In this country, it's cheaper to eat out everyday than cook for yourself on a budget in the U．S.You can even buy a property for around 50，000 and hire someone to tend to it while you're away.

Mexico

Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there are many wealthier areas that provide every amenity (便利设施) you might need.You can live off a mere $700 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, amenities, food, and any sights.

36．How much money do you need to pay to look after your property for a year in Cambodia?

Heritage is our legacy (遗产) from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (无可取代的) sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Great Wall of China make up our world’s heritage.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied （体现）in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.

How does a place become a World Heritage Site? It takes a lot of people to decide.

1)If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO. The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.

2)The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.

3)After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.

4)Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn’t taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.

41. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1?

A. To tell us what is heritage.

B. To explain the aims of protecting heritages.

C. To introduce some places of interest in the world.

D. To encourage people to pay a visit to famous sights.

42. About cultural and natural heritage around the world, UNESCO encourages all the following EXCEPT________.

A. identification B. application

C. protection                     D. preservation

43. If a place successfully becomes a World Heritage Site, the country________.

A. Will not get the support from UNESCO

B. should continue to take special care of it

C. won’t take trouble of caring for it

D. will try to put it on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger

44. When do the committee meet up with each other?

A. every June                      B. every May

C. every February                   D. every March

45. The purpose of putting a place on the World Heritage List is________.

A. to attract more tourists from other countries

B. to get more money and help from other countries

C. to have it taken better care of

D. to make it known to other countries

C

The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens since some animals are in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.

About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt since 1994.

Animal protection groups were against this decision. But local officials explained that the black bear population had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people. In the past two years,  bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.

This brings an old question back into the spotlight — which is more important, protecting animals or protecting people’s interests（利益）?

This question is asked in other countries too. In Switzerland, a wolf was sentenced to death by the Swiss government months ago. This is because the wolf killed 38 sheep and local people lost a lot of money. Days ago in China, three old men were arrested for killing a serow (鬣羚), a protected species. But they insisted they didn’t know about this and killed the animal because it ruined their crops.

However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops due to human interests,  especially involving economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and 300 bears. But his base also offered jobs to local people.

“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British biologist at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t push either one to the side, as the future is hanging in the balance.”

46.In October 2015, Florida held its first bear hunt after about________.

A. five years             B. ten years

C. fourteen years         D. twenty-one years

47. What does the underlined word “menace” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Danger.　B. Chance.　　C. Relief.　D. Treasure.

48. What does the author aim to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen’s story?

A. Protecting animals needs hard work.

B. Zhou was good at feeding wild animals.

C. Zhou had a good relationship with local people.

D. Protecting animals can bring economic development.

49. Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with?

A. Human development should be considered first.

B. We should pay more attention to animal protection.

C. We should consider both the environment and human interests.

D. It’s difficult to find proper ways to solve environmental problems.

50. Why was the wolf in Switzerland sentenced to death?

A.Because the wolf killed 38 sheep

B.Because local people lost a lot of money

C.Because the wolf are dangerous

D.Both A&B

D

Studies have suggested early rising and success might be linked. People who wake up early are more in keeping with the traditional corporate schedule and tend to have more positive personalities, which might lead to better grades in school or higher wages on the job.

Is getting up early for everyone? No.There's been lots of research about how some people are biologically more likely to feel more alert (机敏的)in the morning, while others are at their best at night.You might be more alert and have better cognitive (认知的)ability in the afternoon, for instance.So, if you don't naturally feel alert in the morning but decide to wake up early anyway, you might be disturbing your actual top performance times.Of course, people may have personal reasons for making an early start.Parents with young children or workers with non­traditional hours may also have no choice about what time they start the day.

Getting up early doesn't necessarily translate to instant success at the office.In fact, depending on the person, it could end up having a negative effect.Especially if you don't normally wake up super early and are trying to follow some kind of productivity fashion.An even worse condition may arise if you're actually reducing sleep to become an early riser.Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects of sleep lack.Getting a full night's sleep and getting the same amount of sleep at the same time each night are both important.So if early rising means cutting sleep, don't do it.

What should you do? Don't listen to thought­leaders or Linkedln influencers but figure out what works best for you.Pay attention to when you feel most tired and most awake.Make a note of the times you fall asleep and wake up naturally.Try to adjust your schedule to those times, as that's how you'll tap into most of your natural energy for the day ahead.And above all, it's getting adequate amounts of sleep.

51．What is Paragraph 1 intended to tell us?

A．The early bird catches the worm.

B．A good beginning makes a good ending.

C．A thousand mile trip begins with one step.

D．Constant dropping wears the stone.

52．Why is getting up early unfit for everyone?

A．People have different cognitive ability.

B．It disturbs working orders.

C．Not all are in their best state in the morning.

D．Few people have their top performance times.

53．What does the author think of getting up early?

A．It can lead everyone to success.

B．It has no negative effects.

C．It means shortening the sleep time.

D．It is less important than sleeping enough and well.

54．Which of the following statements is true?

A. Everyone is suitable for getting up early.

B. Getting up early will translate to instant success at the office

C. Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects

D. Getting a full night’s sleep is of no importance.

55．What do experts advise to do with the working time?

A．Follow the advisers' directions.

B．Find out your own best time table.

C．Sleep more and better than before.

D．Use your energy averagely in a day.

When my friends went to college in great delight, I restarted my senior high school life．My spirit sank．Surrounded by strange classmates, I felt like I was in a maze and was sorry about myself．There were some complex feelings in my minds．I was frightened, nervous and lonely．

With the teacher’s help, I eventually got over my depression．From then on, I no longer bowed my head and began smiling to my classmates．I would put up my hand confidently in class and play with my new friends in my spare time．Meanwhile, I was gradually embraced by my classmates．

Now faced with fierce competition, we all study hard because we know that every second counts．Moreover, there is an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect between us．I love my class; I love my classmates!
