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

Have you ever been really hungry, but there wasn’t much to eat in your kitchen? Did you throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good? You aren’t alone. Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that never would have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.

POTATO CHIPS

One of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man was eating dinner at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York. He ordered fried potatoes, a popular side dish. But when they came out of the kitchen, he didn’t think they were crispy enough. He sent them back to the kitchen, where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced the potatoes really thin, put lots of salt on them, and fried them. Not only did the diner love them, but everyone else did, too. They soon became a specialty of the restaurant.

TOFU

Tofu, or bean curd, is made by curdling (使凝结) fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block, and then cooling it. Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle. This is the same process that is used for making cheese. Like cheese, tofu is a great example of how really messing up a recipe can create something unexpectedly good.

CHEESE PUFFS

Did you ever wonder who thought up cheese puffs? The company that invented them wasn’t even trying to make food for people. It was trying to make animal feed. In the 1930s, the Flakall Company of Wisconsin made animal food from small, flaked pieces of grain. One day, an employee, Edward Wilson, watched workers pouring cornmeal (谷粉) into the flaking machine, wetting it to keep it from clogging (堵塞). Because the machine was very hot, the wet cornmeal came out of it in puffy ribbons that hardened when they hit the air. Wilson took some of the ribbons home, added oil and flavoring to them, and voila! Cheese puffs! 

21. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Seaweed is also used for making cheese.

B. Chef George Crum didn’t like to criticize others’ cooking.

C. Hot wet cornmeal hardened when they hit the air.

D. Bean curd dates back 2000 years in China .

22. What do the three foods have in common?

A. They are the results of complaints.

B. They were not created on purpose.

C. They weren’t originally made for people.

D. They are all popular throughout the world.

23. What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To compare the features of some foods.   

B. To inform readers of some foods.

C. To recommend some foods .            

D. To introduce the origins of some foods.

B

Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys.They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.

Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”

I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.

About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad's business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why take the risk and place the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.

Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.

Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.

It was a new comb. This one was brown. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.

24.From the first three paragraphs, we can learn ________.

A. the precious green comb of Dad was made of jade

B. the earliest memories with Dad were full of joy

C. the author wasn’t willing to clean the comb for Dad

D. the author would study together with Dad every evening

25. What probably made Dad decide to resign from his original job to start his own business?

A. That he was fired and had to make a living.

B. That he was eager to get everything on track.

C. That he hoped to earn a better life for the family.

D. That he wanted to keep the life for his family stable.

26. What emotional changes did the author experience when staying withDad these years?

A. mad → satisfied → warm

B. satisfied → worried → angry

C. warm → concerned → uncomfortable

D. cheerful → mad→ warm

27. What could be the best title for the text?

A. Evenings with Dad

B. A Comb of Jade Green

C. My Earliest Memories with Dad

D. Dad’s Sales Job & His Wholesale Business

C

Being highly connected to a strong social network has its benefits. Now a new study is showing the same goes for trees, thanks to their underground neighbors. The study is the first to show that the growth of adult trees is linked to their participation in fungal（真菌）networks living in the forest soil. Though past research has focused on young trees, these findings give new insight into the importance of fungal networks to older trees — which are more environmentally beneficial for functions like capturing carbon.

“Large trees make up the main part of the forest, so they drive what the forest is doing,” said researcher Joseph Birch, who led the study. When they live in the forest soil, fungal networks act as a sort of highway, allowing water, nutrients and compounds to flow back and forth among the trees. The network also helps nutrients flow to resource-limited trees like family units that support one another in times of stress.

Cores taken from 350 Douglas firs（花旗松）showed that annual tree ring growth was related to the extent of fungal connections a tree had with other trees. They had much higher growth thanthose that had only a few connections. The research also showed that trees with more connections to many unique fungi had much greater growth than those with only one or two connections. “If you have this network that is helping trees grow faster, that helps capture more carbon year after year. These networks may help trees grow more steadily even as conditions become more stressful, and could even help protect them against death.” said Birch.

Birch hopes his findings lead to further studies in different kinds of forests in other geographical areas, because it’s likely that the connections among trees change from year to year. He said, “Knowing whether fungal networks are operating the same way in other tree species could inform how we reforest areas after harvesting them, and inform how we plant trees to preserve these networks.”

28.In what way do the new findings differ from the previous ones?

A. They reveal the value of fungal networks to adult trees.

B. They clarify misunderstandings of fungal networks.

C. They demonstrate a new way to capture carbon.

D. They confirm the benefits of fungal networks.

29.How do fungal networks help trees?

A. By acting as the center of family units.  

B. By maintaining the balance of resources.

C. By fighting against diseases.  

D. By bettering forest soil conditions.

30.What does the underlined “those” refer to in Paragraph 3?

A. Tree rings.       

B. Cores from Douglas firs.

C. Douglas firs.       

D. Fungal networks.

31.What can be inferred from what Joseph Birch has put?

A. The fungal networks support one another in times of stress.

B. The fungal networks enable us to know more about reforestation.

C. The findings can apply to different kinds of forests in other geographical areas.

D. The fungal networks will help trees grow more steadily if conditions become more stressful.

D

With no special equipment, no fences and no watering, two abandoned agricultural fields in the UK have been rewilded (重新野化), in large part due to the efforts of jays, which actually “engineered”these new woodlands. Researchers now hope that rewilding projects can take a more natural and hands-off approach and that jays can shed some of their bad reputations.

The two fields, which researchers have called the New Wilderness and the Old Wilderness, had been abandoned in 1996 and 1961 respectively. The former was a bare field, while the latter was grassland—both lay next to ancient woodlands. Researchers had suspected that the fields would gradually return to wilderness, but it was impressive to see just how quickly this happened, and how much of it was owed to birds.

Using aerial data, the researchers monitored the two sites. After just 24 years, the New Wilderness had grown into a young, healthy wood with 132 live trees per hectare, over half of which (57%)were oaks. Meanwhile,the Old Wilderness resembled a mature woodland after 39 years, with 390 trees per hectare.

“This native woodland restoration was approaching the structure (but not the species composition) of long-established woodlands within six decades,” the researchers explained in the study.

Part of this reforestation was done by the wind, and researchers suspect that previous ground disturbance may have aided the woodland establishment—which is good news, as it would suggest that agricultural areas may be reforested faster than anticipated. However, animals—Eurasian jays, thrushes, wood mice, and squirrels—also played an important role in helping the forests take shape. This handful of species provided much of the natural regeneration needed for the forest to develop. Jays, in particular, seem to have done a lot of heavy lifting.

32. What does the underlined word “shed” in Paragraph 1 refer to？

A. Be opposed to.       

B. Be ashamed of. 

C. Get used to.          

D. Get rid of.

33. Which aspect of the changes in the two fields impressed the researchers?

A. The scale of the woodlands.          

B. The diversity of the fields.

C. The rate of the changes.     

D. The frequency of the wilderness.

34. What does the author want to tell us by providing some data in Paragragh 3?

A. The woodland restoration was approaching the structureof long-established ones. 

B. Much of the wilderness of the fields was owed to birds.

C. Previous ground disturbance aided the woodland establishment.  

D. How quickly the fields returned to wilderness over time.

35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. The essential role of humans in the reforestation.

B. The factors that contribute to the reforestation.

C. The importance of woodland establishment.

D. The threats faced by a handful of wild animals.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

The Spotlight Effect

Have you ever felt as if the entire world was watching while you made a mistake? Well, here’s some good news: it’s likely that no one even noticed.

    36    We have this experience not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well. Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do, we may assume that everyone around us will notice. The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, or give a terrible answer in class.    37    In these moments, it feels like everyone is watching.

The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes. Every person is the main character in his or her story, and the events of our lives seem to have great importance.     38     

The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience. However, in some cases, it can lead to extreme social anxiety and nervousness around other people. Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety. We all care about what others think, and we all want to be liked. It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people.    39    If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions, then it’s time to take action and improve the situation.

Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety. Next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you.     40    If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family, it will help you be less self-conscious.

A. However, this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to handle.

B. That’s why fewer people notice the embarrassing circumstances they encounter.

C. Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you, rather than focusing on yourself.

D. The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people notice us more often than they really do.

E. What you can do at this moment is to ignore them.

F. We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.

G. It can also appear when we score a big goal, ask someone on a date, or do a good deed.

One summer night, my friends and I stole into the Jordans’backyard and started harvesting their sweet, juicy raspberries (树莓). We were enjoying every bite of the tasty berries41  Mr Jordan came charging outside all of a sudden.

“What are you boys doing out here?” he yelled as my friends ran off42all directions. He attempted to catch one or two as they rushed past him, but they were too43for the older gentleman to catch. Within seconds, the boys44into the dark of the summer night. All except me.

They teased me about it for days afterwards, while all I could do was complain about how49it was that I was the only one who had to pay the price. After about a week of this, I complained to my father about the inequality of the situation. Dad said, “You took raspberries without50, and you get exactly the punishment youdeserved.”

“But what about the other guys?” I asked. “They didn’t get punished at all!”

“That’s not my concern nor should it be yours,” Dad said. “You can’t51  what happens to others. You can only52what happens to you. You made a bad choice that night, and you were punished for it.”

Last winter, Linda went through a very messy divorce and was very depressed. So she quit her job and left Los Angeles, where she encountered her ex-husband in college. She flew to Boston on the east coast of the US. Later, she settled in a new neighborhood in East Boston. However, shortly afterwards, the company where she worked went bankrupt (破产). Suffering a series of bitter blows, she fell ill, a severe case of flu. She had to stay at home for the whole week, feeling extremely bad and hopeless.

Early one morning, Linda lay in bed, feeling painful all over. Then all of a sudden, there was an upsetting knock on her front door. Struggling out of the bed, she dragged herself to the window. There, outside, she saw a young lady carefully holding some leaflets（传单）and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. “This is the last thing I need today.” She muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.

Coughing bitterly, Linda stuck her head out. “Excuse me, madam…” the young lady said with a smile. “I’m sorry but I am not the slightest bit interested in any TV whatever.” Linda interrupted her impatiently. “As a matter of fact, I am feeling terribly awful.”“Is there anything I can do for you, madam?” the young lady asked with concern. “No thanks, just leave me alone.” Linda then shut the door in her face. The young lady politely turned and left in silence.

One possible version:

A few hours later, another knock. Linda glanced out of the window. To her surprise, at the door was the same lady, back again. Really annoyed this time, Linda opened the door. Before Linda could utter any word, the young lady handed her a warm pot, with a concerned look on the face."I’m so sorry to have disturbed you earlier. I thought you may need this homemade chicken soup. Hope it might make you feel a little better. "

Linda was surprised by this lovely action. After being refused so rudely, the lady still showed much kindness to her. A sense of shame creeping upon her heart, she could only force a smile with burning ears. But also, a warm current surged through her brain and body. Linda took the chicken soup gratefully, tears blurring her eyes and a lump in her throat. The lady wrapped Lindain her arms and patted her on the back. “It’s OK, dear. Everything will be fine.” Hearing these words, Linda felt a ray of bright sunshine lighting up her life.
