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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
New Year’s celebrations take many forms, but most cultures have one thing in common—have a good time after a long, hard year. For much of the globe this involves drinking with friends until the sun comes up, singing together. But others have rather more curious habits, often filled with superstition (迷信).
In Denmark, people stand on chairs and jump off together as the clock strikes midnight, really leaping into the new year. The Danes also throw plates at their friends’ homes during the night-the more pieces you find outside your door in the morning the more popular you are said to be.
In Finland, say tour guides, people pour melted (熔化的) lead into cold water to predict the year ahead from the shape the metal forms. If the shape represents a ship it is said to predict travel, if it’s a ball, good luck.
The Dutch build massive bonfires with their Christmas trees and cat sugary donuts—one of many cultures to consume round New Year’s foods traditionally believed to represent good fortune.
Spaniards, in turn, cat a dozen grapes before the strike of midnight, each fruit representing a month that will either be sweet or sour.
In the Philippines, people wear polka dots (带圆点的服装) for good luck, while in some countries of South America people put on brightly coloured underwear to attract fortune—red for love and yellow for financial success.
Despite regional and cultural differences, for most the New Year’s festivities are a chance to let off steam before the annual cycle starts all over again. “This is a holiday that is about celebration and letting go,” explained George Washington University sociologist Amitai Etzioni.
21. In which country is the festival related to metal
A. Denmark. B. Spain. C. Finland. D. The Netherlands.
22. What can we learn about New Year’s celebrations from the text
A. The Danes throw grapes at their friends’ homes during the night.
B. Spaniards eat many donuts before the strike of midnight.
C. The Dutch build massive walls with their Christmas trees.
D. Some people in South America wear red underwear for love.
23. What does the underlined phrase “let off steam” in the last paragraph mean
A. Get married. B. Get relaxed. C. Make money. D. Make friends.
B
Abbey Ahern, 34, who lives in Oklahoma, was shocked and heartbroken when she was told at her 19-week scan that her daughter had the incurable illness anencephaly (无脑畸形) which meant she would not live beyond a few hours. It ripped her heart out.
According to the National Institutes of Health, the illness means the baby has an underdeveloped brain and incomplete skull (颅骨). Approximately one in 10,000 babies in the US are born with anencephaly, most of which result in early death.
As a result, Abbey and her pilot husband Robert, also 34, decided to have a live birth so that they could spend time with their daughter and donate her organs — making Annie the first newborn baby donor in the state.
Afterwards they asked the doctor for the gender of their unborn child and decided to name her on the spot. They named her easily: Annie, which means, “grace”. Abbey said: “Carrying a seriously-ill baby to term was by far the most difficult thing I have ever done…For us, even in the middle of our terrible heartbreak we were able to see so much beauty.” The family spent just 14 hours and 58 minutes with Annie before she passed away.
Her organs were not available for transplant (移植) because her oxygen levels were too low — which Abbey said was “disappointing”— but they were able to donate her heart valves (瓣膜) and some of her organs could be used for research. She said: “Annie’s story is one of hope. I think it shows people that in the middle of tragedy, there can be beauty.”
24. How did Abbey feel at the news about her daughter firstly
A. Surprised and upset. B. Worried and determined.
C. Relieved and regretful. D. Curious and angry.
25. What was Abbey and her husband’s decision
A. Keeping Annie in hospital. B. Stopping giving birth to Annie.
C. Giving away Annie’s organs. D. Naming her daughter after beauty.
26. Why were Annie’s organs not used for transplant
A. Because of diseases. B. Because of low temperature.
C. Because of heart valves. D. Because of lack of oxygen.
27. What is the purpose of the text
A. To call on people to donate organs. B. To share a touching story with readers.
C. To inform people of what anencephaly is. D. To show what a tragedy the story is.
C
When drones (无人机) first became widely available around 15 years ago, it wasn’t uncommon to find tech people painting dramatic pictures of how they were soon going to change the world. However, if you look up into the largely empty sky, you can see that hasn’t happened yet.
Sure, drones are useful for taking aerial (空中的) photos, but we’re a long way away from aerial superhighways, packed with autonomous drones carrying parcels at speeds that are near-impossible on the ground.
In 2016, Amazon announced it had completed its first ever aerial delivery. In a video, we saw an Amazon “Prime Air” drone pick up a parcel and fly it across the countryside landing in the buyer’s garden, dropping the parcel, and then returning to its home base. But Amazon still hasn’t completed its second drone delivery. In fact, it has reportedly downsized the drone programme.
So, will drone delivery ever be a thing There are some indications of a possible drone delivery future not in Britain, but in Africa. Because also since 2016, rural hospitals in Rwanda have been receiving regular shipments of medical supplies by drone thanks to a company called Zipline. It surely has saved lives, thanks to the speed at which blood can be delivered in a country with a poorly developed road network. So could we ever expect such a system here
Unfortunately there’s a big difference between rural Africa and thickly populated Britain. British homes don’t have large gardens where to land and nobody wants loud large drones constantly landing around the neighbourhood. Another reality is that British cities may still have security and safety concerns about routinely having drones carrying stuff over our heads.
That’s why I wonder if the real drone future could be crawling (爬) along the ground. For a few years, “autonomous delivery robots” with wheels have been walking on the pavements. So perhaps we’re not so far away from a drone delivery future, but the reality might be a little bit more down to earth.
28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Drones are widely used in daily life. B. Drones have made delivery efficient.
C. Drones are designed to take aerial photos D. Drones haven’t changed the world as expected.
29. Why does the author mention Zipline’s drone delivery
A. To explain the process of drone delivery.
B. To stress the benefits brought by drone delivery.
C. To discuss the possibility of a drone delivery future.
D. To show its advantages over Amazon’s drone delivery.
30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The security and safety concerns about drones.
B. The ways that British people react to drone delivery.
C. The differences between African countries and Britain.
D. The reasons why drone delivery isn’t suitable for Britain.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Drone Delivery Future: Pie in the Sky B. A Bright Future for Drone Delivery
C. Change the World with Drones D. Drone Applications at Risk Worldwide
D
Since we are vulnerable when we sleep, sleep must play a critical role, or evolution wouldn’t have selected for it. Early humans had to hunt, gather food and protect themselves. Those activities consumed much time, so unless sleep served very important purposes, those who slept less would have an advantage. Yet sleeping for long hours of the night was kept for years, but scientists had only general ideas about what happened during sleep. Recently, Dr. Chiara Chiarelli, a neuroscientist, shared what sleep neuroscience research has discovered.
Neural (神经的) networks in the brain are connected through synapses (神经突触) which allow signals to flow throughout the brain and onto cells. During waking hours, new learning can strengthen the connections. You can think of knowledge acquired over a long time as a group of well-connected neural paths. When you learn something new, new paths are connected to the old. During the waking hours, your brain processes massive amounts of new insignificant information, say remembering where you parked your car. But that memory has to be preserved at least until you reach the car. It establishes a new connection to your memory of what your car looks like, a well-established “old” memory. The brain creates so many connections daily that particular circuits can be heavily burdened.
Dr. Cirelli explained that during sleep, a great many synaptic connections are weakened so that connections are more available for new learning the next day. Continuing with the parked car example, the exact location of the parked car is not needed again, so the connections are weakened. In fact, if it were not, you might memorize hundreds of places where you have parked, leading to considerable confusion!
You don’t have to be a scientist to understand that not sleeping well affects next day functioning —this is common cultural wisdom. Dr. Cirelli’s research is an example of science showing the “why” and “how” mechanisms that underlie that wisdom.
32. What does the example of early humans show
A. Sleep wasn’t as important as it is today.
B. Our ancestors had a hard time surviving.
C. Sleep is significant in the history of humans.
D. Whoever sleeps less enjoys more advantages.
33. What message does the author seem to convey in paragraph 2
A. Our memory can be kept over a long period of time.
B. Our brain can be overloaded with synaptic connections.
C. Our brain’s neural network is connected through synapses.
D. Our new learning is based on well-established old memories.
34. What has Dr. Cirelli’s research discovered
A. Sleep broadens neural paths. B. Sleep carries cultural wisdom.
C. Sleep relieves synaptic burden. D. Sleep stimulates brain development.
35. What’s the author’s attitude to Dr. Cirelli’s research
A. Approving. B. Unclear. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.

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。
Education is a good opportunity for those of us who try to better ourselves. For people in full-time employment, getting the balancing act between work and study can prove a challenge. But look on the bright side. 36
University is often considered a logical step for people who wish to continue their education after school. While options of Master’s degrees, PhDs and other qualifications exist, many students leave after obtaining their Bachelor’s and head into the world of work. After years of doing the same job, some feel adding new knowledge to their locker may open up new opportunities. 37 Or they will have more new ideas.
In terms of the benefits, learning new skills that you can bring into the workplace can make you more of an authority in your area and a go-to person for advice. 38 In short, studying more could make you more useful to the business. If you study in a classroom, your experience of the workplace could bring a wealth of knowledge to other students and provide real-life examples for you to make use of. You may also meet like-minded people who you can add to your professional network in the future. Adult learners have to consider things like children, home lives and work. 39 Some courses can even be done partly or entirely online, which means that you can manage your time more easily studying from home.
40 And increasing your skills may open up new careers or opportunities in your professional life.
A. Or it helps them to get a promotion.
B. What are the benefits of studying while also working
C. New opportunities don’t necessarily always wait for you.
D. Becoming a professional person is no big deal for your life.
E. All in all, there are a variety of options for those who wish to return to studying.
F. And if the business has a skills shortage, you may be able to step up and fill that gap.
G. Many adult and part-time courses are more flexible and spread over a number of years.

It was already dark. After the jetliner 41 safe and sound, it taxied to a stop at its parking slot in Doha’s airport. A small group of 42 people gathered at the bottom of the gangway (舷梯) to 43 the passengers who were just free from the war. Among those 44 was 59-year-old Ahmad Sarmast, director of the Afghanistan National Institute of Music.
He wanted to seem organized and remain 45 . After all, the 46 of the last few months had taught the director that nothing’s done 47 it’s done. But then13-year-old Farida, the violin case in hand, appeared at the 48 of the gangway; another to-be 49 Zohra, also13, followed. They saw Sarmast, 50 down the steps and hugged him. “That’s when I 51 and started to cry.” he said. “We all were.”
With Farida and Zohra in Doha, the months-long, tough 52 to evacuees (撤离人员) of the music school was over after the Taliban’s triumph (胜利) in Afghanistan. The flight’s 53 meant that all those willing and able to leave the capital, Kabul—almost 300 students, faculty, staff and their families were 54 .
But the 55 was bitter-sweet for Sarmast. “We’re excited, happy, and 56 that we got our community out of Afghanistan, which gives them the opportunity to chase their dreams and 57 musical tradition,” he said. “At the same time, it’s also very 58 .You see, everything in Afghanistan is 59 , but so many people took so many risks to make music 60 .

Weiqi is an ancient game of strategy. It invented as early as 4,000 years ago. A word weiqi means surrounding game, so one object of the game is to surround the other player’s pieces. Around the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the game was brought to Korea and then Japan, where it gradual became popular. In Japan the game was called Go translating from Chinese directly. Despite that its popularity in East Asia, weiqi was only introduced to the West in the early twenty century through Japan. Therefore, most non-Chinese know the game by its Japanese name and used Japanese terms while playing it. To avoid mistaking the name go as the English word go, the first letters of the name of the game is usually capitalized: Go.

Hello, everyone!
It is my great honor to share with you my opinions about how to overcome negative feelings in our daily life.
Everyone has negative feelings. As for us students, what we usually face is loneliness. Loneliness will make us depressed, affecting our physical and mental health. To overcome it we should learn to communicate with others as often as possible. Besides, it's beneficial for us to participate in after-class activities, which help us develop a deep friendship with others.
I hope what is mentioned above might be helpful to you and all of us can keep a positive attitude and enjoy a healthy life.
Thank you for your listening!
