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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出 最佳选项。

A

London, with countless famous sites and all manner of food, drink, shopping, history, and culture, is definitely a wonderful city to visit.

Time Zone

Greenwich Mean Time during the winter, British Summer Time during the rest of the year （starting at Daylight Saving Time）.

Best Time to Go

The best time to visit London overall is in spring, when the temperatures have warmed up, the sun has started to shine and London's gardens and parks are looking their best. However, the reality is that the best time to travel to London depends a lot on what you're looking for. If you're all about taking a look inside Queen Liz's palace, you’d better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer.

Things to Know

Londoners, and English people in general, have a much different manner of interacting with one another than Americans do--while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger they pass on the sidewalk or asking about work in the first few minutes of a conversation, Londoners might consider it impolite or strange. Don't mistake this for unfriendliness； it's just a cultural difference. Instead, talk about things like movies, TV shows, books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.

How to Get Around

Getting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and extensive Underground. The Underground, unlike American transportation systems which often pay per ride or pay per length of trip, is paid in zones. Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay. It's worth getting an Oyster card to make your life that much simpler.

21. When is the best time to visit London for people who enjoy a lively atmosphere?

A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter.

22. Where is this text most probably taken from?

A. A survey. B. A guidebook.

C. A research paper. D. A travel journal.

23. Which of the following is the most suitable topic for starting a conversation with Londoners?

A. Daily entertainments. B. Future career plans.

C. Personal relationships. D. Annual incomes.

B

While Disney animations are successful in moving their audiences, their subsidiary（子公司）Pixar is expert at creating tear-jerking movies as well.

At first sight, it is remarkable that these movies make us cry—the main characters are cartoon characters, in most cases not even human beings, who do things that could evidently never happen in the real world: toys come to life, monsters are to scare sleeping children, and helium-balloon-powered houses travel the world. How can a story so unrealistic make us care so much about their animated main characters?

The Pixar creators explained that their stories often reflect their own personal lives. Whereas the animated characters are far from real, their lives are relatable. The magical ingredient is the realistic portrayal of the complex emotional lives of the characters.

As Pixar director Pete Doctor explains ： "What you're trying to do, when you tell a story, is to write about an event in your life that made you feel a particular way. And what you're trying to do, when you tell a story, is to get the audience to have that same feeling. While this is true for storytelling in general, it is especially important in Pixar movies, given that the basic plots of their movies cannot happen in real life."

What makes Pixar's highly unrealistic stories believable is the fact that they address problems that are central to our own lives. Pixar addresses real human matters such as family, friendship, death, loss, and the highly realistic emotions that such events evoke in our life.

The effect of the story thus depends on the human capacity to empathize with others: to recognize which emotions others experience, and to understand why others feel how they feel. The fact that empathy is learned and developed through life may well be the reason why these movies are entertaining for kids but rather devastating and heart-crushing for adults.

Every Pixar movie has the moment when we cry. We learn and feel with the characters through the realistic portrayal of their emotional lives. The stories appeal to our deepest emotions and, thus, make us cry. Because, essentially, Pixar stories are about us.

24. Which real issue may not be dealt with in Pixar's movies?

A. Family conflicts. B. Romantic love.

C. A political issue. D. The betrayal of a friend.

25. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The Pixar's movies are not only entertaining for kids but also heart-breaking for adults.

B. Pixar can create touching movies because of the support from Disney.

C. Both the realistic emotions and real human matters are shown vividly in Pixar's tear-jerking movies.

D. People can find empathy more easily in animation movies than in any other movies.

26. The key reason for the success of Pixar's movies lies in ▲   .

A. empathy of the audience

B. the delicate film design

C. the adorable cartoon characters

D. good taste of the audience

27. What's the best title of the passage?

A. How to Make Unrealistic Stories Believable?

B. How Do Disney Pixar Movies Make Us Cry?

C. Why Are Human Easily Attracted by Movies?

D. What Makes Disney Pixar Movies Successful?

C

It's time to reevaluate how women handle conflict at work. Being overworked or over-committed at home and on the job will not get you where you want to be in life. It will only slow you down and hinder your career goals.

Did you know women are more likely than men to feel exhausted? Nearly twice as many women than men aged 18—44 reported feeling “very tired" or "exhausted", according to a recent study.

This may not be surprising given that this is the age range when women have children. It's also the age range when many women are trying to balance careers and home. One reason women may feel exhausted is that they have a hard time saying “no". Women want to be able to do it all—volunteer for school parties or cook delicious meals—and so their answer to any request is often “Yes, I can."

Women struggle to say "no" in the workplace for similar reasons, including the desire to be liked by their colleagues. Unfortunately, this inability to say "no" may be hurting women's heath as well as their career.

At the workplace, men use conflict as a way to position themselves, while women often avoid conflict or strive to be the peacemaker, because they don't want to be viewed as aggressive or disruptive at work. For example, there’s a problem that needs to be addressed immediately, resulting in a dispute over who should be the one to fix it. Men are more likely to face that dispute from the perspective of what benefits them most, whereas women may approach the same dispute from the perspective of what's the easiest and quickest way to resolve the problem—even if that means doing the boring work themselves.

This difference in handling conflict could be the deciding factor on who gets promoted to a leadership position and who does not. Leaders have to be able to assign and manage resources wisely—including staff expertise. Shouldering more of the workload may not earn you that promotion. Instead, it may highlight your inability to assign effectively.

28. What does the underlined word “hinder" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. set B. block    C. stimulate   D. achieve

29. Why do working women of child-bearing age tend to feel worn out?

A. They are too devoted to work and unable to relax as a result.

B. They are obliged to take up too many responsibilities.

C. They do their best to cooperate with their workmates.

D. They struggle to satisfy the demands of both work and home.

30. Men and women differ in their approach to resolving workplace conflicts in that ▲     .

A. women tend to be easily content

B. men are generally more persuasive

C. men tend to put their personal interests first

D. women are much more ready to compromise

31. According to the last paragraph, which ability is essential for a good leader?

A. The ability to allocate work.

B. The courage to admit failure.

C. A dominant personality.

D. A strong sense of responsibility.

D

Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala（大脑杏仁核）involved in stress processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, suggesting the potential benefits of nature. "But so far the hen — and — egg problem could not be solved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions, says Sonja Sudimac.

To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature leads to beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.

“The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress," explains Simone Kuhn, head of the group.

The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk. This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health. Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain.

In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their babies.

32. What does the hen — and — egg problem mean by Sonja Sudimac?

A. Living in rural areas actually affects brain activity.

B. People in cities tend to have a higher risk of mental problems.

C. It’s unnecessary to work out the complex issue of stress and health.

D. It's hard to clarify the impact of living environment on mental health.

33. How did researchers collect evidence for the study?

A. By comparing volunteers’ amygdala activities.

B. By interviewing healthy volunteers.

C. By researching on a previous theory.

D. By quoting authoritative experts.

34. What contribution did Simone Kuhn and his team mainly make?

A.Supporting a commonly held view of urban exposure.

B.Confirming the assumption of nature's benefits to brain health.

C.Revealing the link between age and mental health.

D.Identifying the causes of mental health problems.

35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.Benefits of a regular walk in nature.

B.The focus of the follow-up research.

C.An appeal for living in urban regions.

D. Nature's positive effects on women and children.

It now seems like years ago that Silicon Valley's hoodie （连 帽衫）culture made male executives' wardrobes more casual across most industries. From financial companies to insurance companies, from insurers to automakers, traditional dress codes transformed into “dress appropriately".

   Now executive men in more traditional offices are figuring   out how to dress down but still look professional, and those at tech firms are growing up and wondering how to dress up but

-still look cool. “ 36  People shouldn't be able to point out exactly why you look as good as you do," said Nick Hart, founder of Spencer Hart. 37 

The sneakers

Sneakers have gone totally exclusive, with eye-opening price tags to match. 38 So it's commonly seen that Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and Snap CEO Evan Spiegel have shown a preference for wearing Salomon sneakers.

39  

Of course,great jeans with a blazer and smart loafers, if not sneakers, is a modern classic look. Some handsome main brands include the JBrand Kane fit jeans, the AG Graduate fit, and the Frame L'Homme, said Jacci J aye of Wall Street Stylist.

The glasses

40 Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is often seen in a striking pair. For colorful frames that are not overly priced, you might try Eyebobs. The company has noted that top executives like Revlon chairman Ron Perelman have been spotted in them.

A. The loafers

B. The jeans

C. It should look effortless.

D. Many people like the expensive ones.

E. If you have to wear glasses, there's no reason why they can't add a touch of style.

F. Here are some items high-powered men are wearing when dressing for work and weekends.
