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2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中 ，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Which country can you travel to in 2020 that will allow you to go for longer, enjoy a higher standard, and save more money The following destinations offer accommodation, transportation, and food for less.
Kyrgyzstan, $25/day
Kyrgyzstan is the choice for most travelers interested in trying out Central Asia, and most well-suited to travelers of all budgets. Food is cheap, so is getting around using the minibuses. You can find hostels and local home stays for less than $10. Meals cost $4 – $8 per day.
Romania, $33/day
If you are planning a European trip that’s affordable and a little bit off the beaten path, Romania is perfect for you. Unlike other popular places, many charming towns here remain unknown to most foreigners. You can also take free walking tours in the numerous historical sites. Hostels run $10 – $15 per night, food is hearty and delicious, and the public transportation is reliable and affordable. Meals cost $10 – $15 per day.
Arizona & Utah, $55/day
For an American Southwest road trip, you’ll spend an average of $110/day when you are solo. If you have just one other person, you’d be able to split the costs almost perfectly in half. If you have two other people along, take it down to one third and so on. The more the merrier.
South Africa, $40/day
Any hostels in South Africa are in beautiful settings and each has a unique personality, and affordable too. Food can get expensive. To save money, cook your own food. Grocery stores are plentiful and have reasonable prices. By at least cooking your own breakfast, you can save a lot of money. The best (and possibly cheapest) way to get around the country is to rent a car and share with 3 other people. Meals cost $12 – $15 per day.

Standing on the edge of the plane, my tandem skydiving (双人跳伞) instructor, Bill, asked “Do you have any last words ” “Yes,” I said, joking. “I hope my parachute opens.”
I’d never felt more alive as Bill and I stepped out and started our freefall. Those first few seconds were amazing. As we reached 4,000 feet, I felt a parachute open above us. This, I was told , would slow us down for a smooth descent (下降). So why were we still traveling so fast I looked up: The parachute was flopping unopened in the wind. I started to freak out. I could hear Bill swearing as he tried to fix whatever had gone wrong. Seconds passed, which felt like forever, until finally our emergency parachute opened. Except it got caught in the first one, making both parachutes useless. I asked Bill, “Are we going to die ” He said he didn’t know. At that moment, I just felt guilty. I’d brought my family along for the day. I’d invited them along to watch me die.
We hit the ground. I was immediately breathless, and an unimaginable pain shot up my back as we bounced into a lake on a golf course. Gathering all my strength, I turned to face Bill. He started screaming. We were found by some golfers. My mother and sister cried uncontrollably as Bill was put into a helicopter, and I was placed into an ambulance. The next four or five months were intense. I had broken my back. After being discharged (出院) from the hospital, I locked myself in my bedroom and took painkillers. I became terrified of the outside world.
After years of therapy(治疗) and hard work, the deep physical and mental pain is healing. I heard that Bill made a full recovery and returned to skydiving. I was always terrified of being myself and doing the things I wanted. Now I’ve learned that I need to be fearless. There’s nothing like falling from 15,000 feet without a parachute and surviving to force you to make the most of every day.
24. How did the author feel before skydiving
A. Worried B. Excited C. Terrified D. Guilty
25. What happened during the tandem skydiving
A. Bill didn’t open the parachute in time. B. The author stayed calm the whole time.
C. Something went wrong with the parachutes. D. The author couldn’t breathe during the freefall.
26. How did the accident affect the author
A. He had constant pain in his head. B. He became crazy about extreme sports.
C. He was sick both physically and mentally. D. He became more confident in himself.
27. What did the author eventually realize
A. Safety first. B. Fear can lead to failure.
C. Cooperation matters. D. Seize and cherish every day.

In an industrial area close to Egypt’s northern coast, colored lights and nine huge shining artworks made of factory waste materials by seven recycling artists brightened the night.
The artworks, mostly made of wastes of iron, plastic and wood, are on display at the Alamein Art Festival. The festival being held at an industrial park owned by Industrial Development Group (IDG) in the Mediterranean resort city of New Alamein was organized by Art D’Egypte, an Egyptian platform for art and heritage.
“The one-month festival, which began on Thursday, seeks to promote the concept of environmental sustainability (持续性) through art,” said Nadine Abdel-Ghaffar, founder of Art D’Egypte and chief organizer of the festival. “Through their eco-friendly art installations (装置), Egyptian contemporary artists call on people to be aware of protecting the environment and the climate.”
One of the artworks on display features two large leaves standing side by side inside two opposing metal frames, looking like two pages of an open book. “It sends a message to factories that the materials they regard as wastes can be used for good purposes by artists in creating artworks, which can make a place more beautiful, “said experienced Egyptian sculptor Omar Tossoun and explained how he created his sculpture A Leaf.
In the center of the open-air exhibition area, visitors’ attention is drawn to a colorful 6-meter-tall shining object that looks like a jellyfish. It took two months for Marwa Magdy to finish the artwork called Jellyfish, which took half a ton of wasted iron.
Visitors have been impressed by the concept of recycling waste materials into artworks. “If you look around, the artists have really done very nice works. It is such a brilliant idea to use something that otherwise would be discarded and make it into a beautiful piece of art,” said Yehia Hamad, one of the visitors.
28．What can we know about the Alamein Art Festival
A．It lasts about two months. B．It isn’t popular with visitors.
C．Its artworks were created by 9 artists. D．Its artworks were made of factory waste materials.
29．Who organized the festival
A．Nadine Abdel-Ghaffar. B．Omar Tossoun.
C．Marwa Magdy. D．Yehia Hamad.
30．What does the underlined word “discarded” in the last paragraph mean
A．Accepted. B．Thrown away. C．Bought. D．Fixed up.
31．What’s the best title of the text
A．Omar Tossoun: An Experienced Artist
B．Alamein Art Festival: An Important Festival
C．Recycling Artists Turn Factory Waste into Artworks
D．Huge Shining Artworks Attract World’s Attention
D
For those who get angry when they miss out on lunch, it may be the perfect excuse: researchers have confirmed that a lack of food makes otherwise bearable people “angry”.
In one of the first studies to explore how hunger affects emotions (情绪) as people go about their daily lives, psychologists found that the more hungry people felt, the more angry - or hangry-they became.
The study came about after Prof. Viren Swami, a social psychologist at Anglia Ruskin University, was told - on more than one occasion - that he was hangry and should do something about it. The challenge left him wondering if being hangry was a real phenomenon (现象).
Working with researchers in Austria and Malaysia, Swami recruited (招募) 64 adults aged 18 to 60 to record their emotions and feelings of hunger five times a day for three weeks. While the relationship between hunger and emotions has been studied in labs, the volunteers monitored their feelings as they went about their daily routines. Swami found being hangry is a real thing.
The study does not provide any solutions, but Swami believes that being able to recognize and label the emotion can itself be of help. “A lot of the time, we might be aware of what we are feeling but not understand the cause of it. If we can label it, we are better able to do something about it,” he said.
Researchers have a number of guesses that aim to explain why hunger can be responsible for our emotions. One is based on studies that suggest low blood sugar increases impulsivity (冲动), anger and aggression. But it is not clear whether such loss of self-control can arise from small drops in blood sugar. Another suggests that when people are hungry, they are more likely to see the world through angry eyes.
Regardless of the mechanism, Swami believes the study raises a serious point: children who go hungry to school are less likely to learn effectively, and more likely to have behavioral problems, so ensuring pupils are properly fed must be a priority. “It’s really important to be able to identify emotions like being hangry so we can reduce the negative effects,” he said.
32．What caused Prof. Viren Swami to do the study
A．His competition with his colleagues. B．His academic and research pursuits.
C．The biggest challenge in psychology. D．The fact that he might suffer from hangry.
33．What can we know about the study
A．Its importance is beyond doubt.
B．It offered some practical solutions.
C．Its participants included children and adults.
D．It explained why people could control their emotions.
34．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．We’d better encourage children to stay positive.
B．It’s important to help children get rid of negative emotions.
C．Children going hungry to school are more likely to get low scores.
D．Educators should pay more attention to children’s learning methods.
35．Where can you read the text probably
A．In a diary. B．In a biology book
C．In a novel. D．In a science magazine.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol(酒精) or drugs. 36． Some people are compulsive (难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.
37． Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.
The question is: why do they have this addiction There isn’t a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. 38．
Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can bring out problems. Some of them can be psychological(心理的). If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. 39． They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don’t have. 40．
A．Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, it is difficult to get rid of.
B．Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity.
C．They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty(内疚).
D．However, in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.
E．People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways to enjoy themselves.
F．They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt(破产) and get sent to prison.
G．It can also cause financial(财务的) problems.
