四、阅读理解(共12小题；每小题2分, 满分24分）
A
Zibo city in Shandong province has stormed the Internet since late February for its local barbecue. In March, the small city received about 4.8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making.
Zhou Maosong, president of the Zibo Tourism Promotion Association said the popularity started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to lure adventurous and hungry college students other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!” However, Zibo did not fall into the trap (陷阱) of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price and quality for the most profit (盈利) in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤) to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popularity.
Zibo’s successful story has inspired governments in other parts of the country to find their ways of supporting local businesses.
41．What are the other reasons for Zibo’s popularity besides the crowd-gathering effect
①Famous people’s recommendation. ②Barbecue at low prices.
③Support from neighbouring cities. ④Local people’s kindness.
A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④
42．Where is the passage probably taken from
A．A science fiction. B．A travel guide.
C．A food advertisement. D．A news report.

Huck is my name, Huckleberry Finn. The story started when my best friend, Tom Sawyer and I found $12,000 in a cave. That money made us rich. We got $6,000 each. Judge Thatcher, an important man in St. Petersburg, put it in the bank, and now we get a dollar a day interest (利息).
Then a kind old lady called Douglas invited me to live with her because I haven’t got a family or a home. My mother died a long time ago, then my dad, Pap, disappeared. He was a violent (暴力的) man especially when he drank a lot, which was most of the time, and he often beat me. I was scared of him. I didn’t go to school like the other boys of my age. I lived on the streets and in the woods.
My life changed after I lived with Douglas. She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table. But then her sister Miss Watson arrived. She brought her black slave (奴隶) Jim with her. I liked Jim but I didn’t like Miss Watson very much. She often shouted at me.
Douglas sent me to school every day. I didn’t like going there at first because learning was very difficult. But when I could read and write a bit, I didn’t mind going.
The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school I saw some footprints outside Douglas’s house. There was a cross on the heel (脚后跟) of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots with a cross on the left heel! Pap!
“He’s heard about my ________” I thought. “And he wants it!”
That night I went to see Jim. Jim had a magic ball made of animal hair. There was a spirit inside the ball that could answer people’s questions about the future.
—Adapted from Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
43．How did Huck feel about the life with Douglas
A．He hated his new life. B．He didn’t mind his new life.
C．He felt satisfied with his new life. D．He wanted to get away from his new life.
44．Which word can be put in the “__________”
A．life B．spirit C．secret D．money
45．Which is the right order of what happened in the story
①Douglas sent Huck to school.
②Huck’s mother died.
③Douglas invited Huck to live with her.
④Douglas read stories to Huck.
A．③②④① B．②③④① C．③④②① D．②④③①

If you ever have the desire to break out into song in the shower, in the car, maybe at your neighbor’s karaoke night—you should embrace it whole-heartedly. This ancient art not only makes you feel good, but it can also improve your well-being, reduce your feelings of pain, and even extend your life.
Using your voice to sing, rather than simply carrying out a conversation, offers unique benefits because singing affects our bodies. Also, studies link singing with a lower heart rate decreased blood pressure and reduced stress according to Patricia Preston-Roberts, a music therapist (治疗师). She uses the song to help patients who suffer from a variety of problems.
Singing, particularly in a group, seems to benefit the elderly particularly well. As part of a three-year study examining how singing affects the health of those fifty-five and older, a Senior Singers Chorus was formed by the Levine School of Music in Washington, D．C． The seniors involved in the chorus, as well as seniors in two separate arts groups about writing and painting, showed significant health improvements compared to those in the control groups (控制组). Obviously, the arts groups reported thirty fewer doctors’ visits, fewer eyesight problems, less depression, and less need for medication.
Even lead researcher Dr. Gene.D．Cohen director of the Center on aging at George Washington University, was surprised at how big an effect the seniors’ arts participation had on their health. Cohen said, “The average age of all the subjects was eighty. This is higher than life expectancy. So, if an effect were to be achieved, one would ordinarily expect to see less decline (下降) compared to the control group. The fact that there was so much improvement in many areas was the surprising factor.” The seniors also noticed health improvements and they reported feeling better both in daily life and while singing.
The part of the brain that works with speech is different from the part that processes music. “People seem to enjoy doing something jointly with other people. There are a lot of facts that being socially involved is good for people with dementia (老年痴呆).” Ballard said.
The arts are showing up as a treatment tool in hospitals across the country. If you are thinking of volunteering, singing at a hospital may be a good choice—not only for the patients, but also for yourself.
46．In the first paragraph the author ________.
A．expresses a desire for singing B．offers some advice on singing
C．puts forward his point of view D．states the importance of health
47．Why was Cohen surprised at the results of the study
A．The study was not as expensive as expected.
B．People’s health in the arts group improved greatly.
C．Arts acted as a treatment tool in hospitals.
D．The seniors themselves noticed health improvements.
48．What would be the best title for the passage
A．How to Avoid Getting Dementia B．How Seniors Live a Healthy Life
C．How to Keep Our Brains Healthy D．How Singing Improves Your Health
D
“Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention,” Frank Sinatra sang in his 1969 hit “My Way.” The song’s idea is attractive: that anyone can just say that what’s done is done and move on. But some people take the idea a step further and say that they have no regrets at all, insisting that life can and should be lived without looking back at the past mistakes.
True, letting yourself be deeply affected by regret is really bad for you. But going to the other extreme (极端) may be even worse. To remove your regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sadness; you may end up making the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over your anxiety requires that you put regret in its proper place.
As uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive (心理的) action. It requires that you go back to a past scenario (情景), imagine that you acted differently to change it, and compare the imagined result with what you are experiencing in reality.
If left unmanaged, regret can be harmful, leading to mental problems, and even affecting your physical health. But regret can be dealt with properly. The trick is not to banish the bad feeling; it’s to recognize it and use it for learning and improvement. Here are three steps you can take the next time you find yourself thinking about your past missteps.
Kill the ghost
People often say their regrets “haunt” them, as regret is like a ghost: not completely clear but always frightening. Bring your ghost out of the darkness by making a list of your regrets.
Write down why each one still bothers you and its lasting bad effects. Be honest without overstating the fact.
Sometimes after you make a mistake, you just can’t stop kicking yourself. Perhaps you dropped out of school decades ago, and now keep thinking of how much money you would be making, if you had made it to graduation. In other words, you’ve chosen a life sentence for a poor decision you made in the past.
However, that doesn’t make much sense to your present life. So it is time to stop the emotional punishment. Try saying this to yourself, “I make changes with myself and will not waste another minute of my life reliving a decision that cannot be changed.”
Collect your diploma (毕业证书)
Regret is like a school run by human nature. If you never experienced regret, you would keep repeating the same behaviors that led you to miss opportunities and destroy relationships.
Your regret can teach you to become smarter and more successful—if you let it. In your list of regrets, also note how you want to change your behavior, and outline your resolutions going forward. Next, list all the ways that you can put in your own skills and improvement right now—and get started.
Regrets may hurt, but ignoring them or trying to live without them is a lost opportunity to grow. Life is a journey full of pleasures and pains. To live it well and fully means learning from every bit of it, including the mistakes, and moving forward.
49．The writer mentions the lines in the song “My Way” in Paragraph 1 to show that ________.
A．some people choose to let go of regrets B．regret is a common topic in popular songs
C．some people find it hard to get over regrets D．regret can stand in the way of people’s lives
50．The word “banish” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A．drive away B．stick to C．show off D．build up
51．Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 6
A．Relive your decision B．Try saying “No” to others
C．Value every minute of your life D．Don’t bury yourself in the past
52．The writer probably agrees that ________.
A．regret is too frightening to recall and record
B．reliving past experiences is the key to making changes
C．regret can help people avoid repeating certain mistakes
D．filling the life with more pleasures than pains is our goal

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。
It is believed that a good memory comes naturally, while a bad memory cannot be changed. 53 Here is some advice for you.
▲ Take an interest.
54 This can explain the reason why schoolboys remember football results clearly but have trouble with dates from their history lessons.
▲ Repeat things in chunks（块）.
Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time. 55 The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483. But look at them in groups or chunks repeatedly and it becomes much easier: 149 217 8919 318 483.
▲ 56
To remember long lists, try inventing a story which includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments（实验）, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this way. When tested later, they could remember about 90% of them. The test result was really amazing.
▲ Take physical exercise.
Physical exercise is important for your memory, because it sends more oxygen（氧气） to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. 57 As we know, too much pressure is very bad for the memory.
A．Invent a story.
B．Putting numbers in groups may help you remember them.
C．Remember a list.
D．Exercise also makes you less stressed.
E．Boys always do better than girls in school.
F．In fact, you can do a lot to improve your memory.
G．We all remember interesting things and always forget boring ones.
