第三部分 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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和 D)中, 选出最佳选项。
A
Los Angeles is always a popular holiday destination. To fully enjoy your travel
there, you should know its food, weather, and also traffic. While driving in L. A. is
similar to that in other areas, there are a few specific rules to note.
HOV lanes (车道)
On many L.A. freeways, one or more lanes at the far left are used as
high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. They usually have limited access and you can
only enter or exit where there is a break in the double yellow line. Most HOV lanes
require a minimum of two people in the car; some require three. Vehicles towing
trailers (拖车) are NOT allowed in the HOV lane, regardless of how many people are in
them.
Toll (收费) lanes
On certain freeways, the HOV lanes are double-purposed as toll lanes for people
driving alone who have a FasTrak, an electronic toll collection system. Therefore, you
also have to have one in that lane as a HOV, which is inconvenient if you’re just
visiting. FasTrak is in effect on parts of the 110 freeway between the 405 and 10
freeways, and on parts of the 10 freeway east of Downtown L.A.
Cell phones
It is against the law to talk on a cell phone while driving without using a
hands-free device. Holding a cell phone to your ear while driving will land you with a
ticket.
Alcohol (酒精)
Driving under the influence is taken seriously in L. A. The legal blood alcohol
limit is 0.08%, but you can be charged with lower levels if they show you can’t
function normally. Placing an opened bottle of alcohol in the passenger area while
driving (or sitting) is illegal. Any opened container of alcohol has to be transported in
the trunk.
36. What do you know about HOV lanes
A. They usually have unlimited access.
B. They are on the far left of freeways.
C. They are intended for larger vehicles.
D. They require a minimum of two people in the car
37. Which is surely against the road rules in L.A.
A. Driving on the 110 freeway with a FasTrak.
B. Putting the cell phone in the car while driving.
C. Riding with an opened bottle of alcohol in back seats.
D. Going below the blood alcohol limit of 0.08%.
38. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A traffic law. B. A road map. C. A guidebook. D. A report.
B
You don’ t have to be a fan of math to get excited about Pi ("n”) Day. While the
event may start with some calculations, it is more than likely to conclude with a slice or
two of delicious pie. The holiday is held every March 14, because "n” is widely
recognized as 3.14.
The tradition of honoring "n” began at San Francisco’ s Exploratorium museum. On
March 14, 1988, physicist Larry Shaw convinced his colleagues to mark the day by
marching around one of the museum’ s circular spaces and consuming fruit pies. The
celebration was made official in 2009 when the U. S. House of Representatives set aside
March 14 as Pi Day.
Today, Pi Day is observed in many creative ways. Students at the California Institute
of Technology in Los Angeles host a pie-eating event, which begins at 1:59 a.m. and
features 26 pies, each of five different flavors. Though that might seem random (随机的),
the date (3.14), time (159), number of pies (26), and number of varieties (5) recreate the
first nine digits of "n”： 3.14159265!
Students applying for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in
Cambridge eagerly wait for the day every year to find out if they have been accepted.
However, instead of sending out the offers at 3:14 p.m., the institution waits till 6: 28 p.
m. 6.28 is referred to as "tau”, which is "n” multiplied by 2. The number is believed to be
much more reliable than "n” by some experts and even has its own celebration on June
28. Since 2017, MIT has also used Pi Day as a fundraiser (资金筹集活动) to support its
students, departments and programs.
This day is also Albert Einstein's birthday, so the town of Princeton, New Jersey,
where Einstein lived until his death in 1955, celebrates the occasion with multi-day
festivities that end on March 14. Visitors can participate in concerts, shows, as well as
pie-eating, pi-recitation, and Einstein-lookalike contests.
39. Where was Pi Day originally celebrated
A. In San Francisco. B. In Los Angeles.
C. In Cambridge. D. In Princeton.
40. What does MIT do on Pi Day according to the passage
A. Inform applicants of application results.
B. Conduct a calculating test.
C. Organize a march around the campus.
D. Make desserts of different flavors.
41. What can we know about Pi Day
A. It is in memory of physicist Larry Shaw.
B. Students in America host a pie-eating event.
C. Students have to eat 26 pies within 159 minutes.
D. Much money is raised to help students in MIT.
42. What’ s the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To propose a suggestion. B. To make an introduction.
C. To state an idea. D. To give an explanation.
C
When did you have a really deep conversation where you felt truly heard ？
Connections of this kind are completely necessary for people but they are not always
easy to find. That's why one woman decided to take listening to the streets. Her name is
Traci Ruble, a therapist (治疗师) who is concerned that people today are experiencing
loneliness and lack personal connections. She understands that with busy lives and
demanding jobs, people are unable to make these connections.
On a spring day in 2015, Ruble and a small number of volunteers set up chairs on
sidewalks in 12 locations around San Francisco and invited people passing by to sit for a
few minutes and chat. This was the beginning of the nonprofit Sidewalk Talk. The
mission is to create public spaces of connections for people. Today, the organization has
more than 4,000 volunteers in 40 cities. These volunteers come from a variety of
backgrounds and receive training from the organization.
Sidewalk Talk gives people a chance to speak and be listened to but it is not therapy.
“Volunteers are not communicating as a therapist out there. They’ re not there to solve
someone’ s problems. They’ re there to practice being human,” Ruble said. According to
Ruble, therapy is one-sided and therapists are taught to avoid self-disclosure(自我表露)
but by “being human” volunteers could approach interactions with communication about
their own life and by showing sympathy (同情) for the people they talk with.
Today, an increasing number of people experience loneliness, according to a report
from Harvard University. In fact, 31 percent of all Americans feel serious loneliness
including 61 percent of young adults. To deal with that, rebuilding community
relationships is vitally important. While Sidewalk Talk will not solve the loneliness
problem, these chats could help someone have a brighter day. Knowing that there are
sympathetic people who are willing to fully listen and share people's feelings could make
all the difference to a lonely person.
43.What is the purpose of Sidewalk Talk
A. To provide training for those volunteers.
B. To teach the passers-by how to communicate.
C. To offer public chances of personal conversations.
D. To help people reduce pressure at work.
44. What is the difference between the volunteers of Sidewalk Talk and therapists
A. Volunteers provide non-professional therapy.
B. Volunteers prefer one-sided communication.
C. Volunteers are good at showing their success.
D. Volunteers express their experiences and feelings.
45. What can we infer about Sidewalk Talk from paragraph 4
A. It makes people more sympathetic to others.
B. It offers a solution to the loneliness problem.
C. It plays a role in improving people's feelings.
D. It has promoted community relationships.
46. What is the text mainly about
A. Awoman guiding others to lead an active life.
B. An organization taking listening to the streets.
C. Therapists setting up chairs on sidewalks.
D. Volunteers helping others learn how to talk.
D
Recent research discovered that a low-cost computer training program can
help older persons drive less dangerously.
“We developed a training program, called Drive Aware, which could be used
by anyone who has a computer,” says Jing Feng, co-author of the study and a
professor of psychology at NC State. “Drive Aware is a cognitive (认知的) training
program for older persons that helps them notice traffic risks more effectively. The
purpose of our recent study was to see how much Drive Aware changes trainees’
driving behaviors once they get behind the wheel.”
The researchers found 27 persons aged 65 and up to test Drive Aware. In a
driving simulator (模拟器), all of the study participants (参与者) experienced a
basic driving exam. The “active training” group was made up of nine of the study
participants. Every two weeks, the active training group had two Drive Aware
trainings. A group of nine additional study participants was asked to take “passive
training”. This group watched videos of others receiving the Drive Aware
instruction. This happened twice, with each lasting about a week. The control group,
which was made up of the remaining nine study participants, received no training.
After that, all 27 study participants performed a second driving exam in the
simulator.
The study participants in the active training group experienced 25% fewer
“unsafe incidents (事件 ) ” following the training, according to the researchers.
There was no obvious change in the number of dangerous incidents among study
participants in the passive training and control groups.
“This testing was done with a fairly limited number of study participants,”
Feng says. “If we can succeed in getting the fund, we’ d like to further our testing
with more people to clearly prove how effective this training is at reducing
accidents among older drivers.”
47. What does the underlined phrase “get behind the wheel” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Take a risk B. Start a program
C. Drive a car D. Use a computer
48. What was the “passive training” group required to do
A. Experience no training.
B. Receive two Drive Aware trainings.
C. Take three driving tests.
D. Observe videos of Drive Aware trainings.
49. How did the researchers arrive at their testing result
A. By quoting former figures.
B. By studying car accidents.
C. By operating the driving simulator.
D. By comparing participants’ performances.
50. What is Feng’ s attitude towards the testing
A. Unclear B. Worried C. Positive D. Objective

As you get older, you’ ll meet a wider range of people from different
cultures. Culture is an idea that isn't easy to understand. People often use the
term to refer to things like food, holidays, clothing and music. 51
Customs, beliefs and values are also part of your culture. So when meeting
people from different backgrounds, you can sometimes find that there are huge
differences in how you see the world.
52 For example, when you meet people from a different culture, ask
them about their lives. It is one of the best ways to understand the culture. But be
polite about it and remember they don’ t owe you an answer, and might not want
to give it-not everyone wants to explain everything about their culture.
Maybe you’ ve recently met someone from a different culture you find
interesting. 53 Get to know his/her families and see how their customs
and traditions differ from yours. You might be surprised to find how culturally
different two people living even in the same town can be!
Read books by and about people who are different from you. Reading
memoirs (回忆录), biographies and other nonfiction books is an obvious way to
learn about a country or someone's life. 54 Like with books, you can
also watch movies to learn more about a culture. What's more, keeping yourself
in a different culture through travel is also an amazing way to understand another
culture.
55 So accept and respect the differences between yourself and your
friends from different cultures- remember that what is a difference to you is just
their normal life!
A. Make friends with him/her.
B. But it also goes much deeper than that.
C.Show respect for people from other cultures.
D. You may think you know a lot about a culture or place.
E. Differences between us are what makes life so interesting.
F. There are many ways to understand other people’ s cultures.
G. Also don't ignore novels that have been translated from other language.
