第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50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
When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few. However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food — something that happens to almost all of us — High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.
Seton Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry you through until after you graduate.
New York University
If you’re a fan of museums, NYU(New York University) is the perfect university for you: not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want — and you’ll never be bored on the weekends.

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York --- he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.
Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton*s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder.”
Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library.com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dolly wood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books, reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members, included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”
The Richters spend about $ 400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”
56. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?
A. His health problem.
B. His love for teaching.
C. The influence of his wife.
D. The news from the Web.
57. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?
A. Give out brochures.
B. Do something similar.
C. Write books for children
D. Retire from being a teacher.
58. According to the text, Dollly Parton is .
A. a well-known surgeon
B. a mother of a four-year-old
C. a singer born in Tennessee
D. a computer programmer
59. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?
A. To avoid signing up online.
B. To meet Dolly wood board members.
C. To make sure the books were the newest.
D. To see if the books were of good quality.
60. What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?
A. He needs more money to help the children.
B. He wonders why some people are so busy.
C. He tries to save those waiting to die.
D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.
C
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hour work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or hobbies. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.
Six percent of the workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted are Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she worked for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Nearly twice a month Daniel had to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. "I always wanted to have one here," says Daniel, "and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. it's taken some time getting used to, but it's been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it's made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier."
Liz, however, is not quite sure. "I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I'm not really a country girl, but I suppose I'm gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.
61. What do the first two paragraphs tell us?
A. People seldom work long hours to make money.
B. People hardly buy more things than necessary.
C. People are sure everything they own is in the right place.
D. People realized there is more to life than just making money.
62. When Daniel was a reporter he _____.
A. was well paid
B. disliked his job
C. missed his children
D. lived in central London.
63. Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ______.
A. was easy to organize
B. has improved family life
C. was extremely expensive
D. has been a total success
64. What does the underlined "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Child-caring
B. Liz’s advice
C. Downshifting
D. Liz' job.
65. The underlined word "downshifting" in the second paragraph means ____.
A. repairing your car by yourself
B. spending money carefully
C. moving out to the countryside to live a simple and better life
D. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week
D
One of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don’t like, we wish it could be different. We cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something ingrained (根深蒂固的) in our culture. The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different. However, it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place. We’ve judged it as bad, rather than saying. “it’s not bad or good, and it just is it.”
In one of my books, I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned.” Some readers said it’s too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong. However, it’s only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad. Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.
This can be applied to whatever you do: how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be. Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they’re that way. It will save you a lot of sadness, because you’ll no longer say, “Oh. I wish bad things didn’t happen! ”
Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But change things not because you can t accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of changing, learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place? You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world. That’s the correct path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path. Therefore, when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference, try a different approach: accept, and understand. It might lead to some interesting results.
66. The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because .
A. it is our natural emotion in the life
B. culture asks us to be different from others
C. everyone has their own opinions on things
D. we dislike something in the beginning
67. Some readers think the words in the author’s book is too .
A. depressing B. frightening C. delighting D. idealistic
68. In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “it” refers to .
A. acting well at work and in politics
B. feeling depressed for the news media
C. accepting and understanding what has happened
D. saying something negative when bad things come
69. In the last paragraph, you are advised .
A. to help others arid make a difference
B. to enjoy what you have to do in the work
C. to judge yourself and make a wish for you
D. to try a new way when making the world better
70. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Expecting things to be different gives us hope.
B. Accepting can make our life happier and better.
C. Traditional culture becomes root of unhappiness.
D. Judging good or bad is important for our world.

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When I started my medical career, I worked 80 to 100 hours a week as a family doctor in a small town in Idaho. Sleep was an afterthought. It was the early 1990s and I bought a coffee machine, and served up 4 to 5 cups of coffee a day. I lived an extremely tiring life and pushed my way through on adrenalin (肾上腺素).
I learned how to keep myself awake despite my exhaustion. I didn’t have a stop button. I lived on adrenalin until my adrenalin ran out and I suddenly got very ill. Every system in my body broke down. I didn’t choose to change my life—my body chose for me. That is when I had to learn to rebuild my life and my energy and respect the way my body worked. I learned the hard lesson that my body was a biological organism that needed care. I realized that if I wanted to enjoy my life, I would have to learn the care and feeding instructions needed for being a healthy woman.
Unfortunately, many suffer the same fate I did. We have all been given a beautiful creation--- our physical body. But none of us were born with an operating manual or instruction book. How do we make it feel good, take care of it, make it run like it was designed--- balanced and in perfect rhythm? Most of us don’t learn how to manage our energy and bodies well. We use drugs, sugar, caffeine and alcohol to manage our energy and moods.
Now it’s time to make a change for the benefit of your health. If you don’t, your health will suffer. Don’t burn the candle on both ends. Without health, you can do nothing.
71. Why did the author use to drink 4 to 5 cups of coffee a day? (no more than 10 words)
72. What did the author learn from her sudden illness? (No more than 10 words)
73. How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? (No more than 10 words)

Dear Chris,
How is everything going? I’m writing to tell you that 2019 Asian Women’s Volleyball Club Championship is scheduled to be held from 20th April to 28th in Tianjin.
It is reported that Tianjin Women’s Volleyball Team will compete in the event on behalf of China, because of its wonderful performance these years. However, it is not easy for those volleyball players to be successful. Having suffered defeat for many years, they have won a great number of games recently. Their devotion, cooperation, determination and persistence are what everyone needs to achieve the goal.
Therefore, I’d like to invite you to watch the game and consider it a great chance to experience the charm of volleyball. Please reply to me at your convenience so that I can book tickets in advance on the Internet.
Yours,
Li Jin
