第二部分阅读（共两节，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
Each fall，millions of butterflies across the U. S. and Canada fly up to 4，000 km to central Mexico. Travelers can see the butterflies overwintering on the Western Monarch Trail， a 465-mile， road trip-friendly conservation initiative that links over a dozen stops along the route.
Helping the butterflies
Organizers created educational panels in English and Spanish explaining the butterflies＇annual traveling and their trouble. The signs also outline ways travelers can help the butterflies recover， such as by supporting chemical-free farms and planting native nectar（花蜜） gardens.
Why butterflies fly to the California coast
Many stops in Pismo State Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove and Andrew Molera State Park，are overwintering sites where，from October to February，travelers can see thousands of butterflies gathering in forests in areas with mild temperatures，dappled （斑驳的 ） sunlight，high dampness，and little to no wind.
Other sites，like the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden and Avila Valley Barn， growflowers that provide sugary，high-calorie food for the butterflies to eat. Butterflies settling here demonstrate how vital nectaring plants are to their survival.
How to explore the Western Monarch Trail
The butterflies＇behavior varies at different times of day and depending on the weather. In the mornings，while temperatures are still cool， step out of the cabin（木屋） in the Fernwood Resort where you stay overnight， you＇ll find many butterflies hanging together on the branches and trunks of trees at the overwintering sites. As the day starts to heat up-typically by late morning or early afternoon-you＇ll be amazed at the phenomenon ＂sunburst＂-the butterflies start flying around in search of nearby nectar. Keep your eyes skyward. Don＇t grab your camera. Just be in the moment.
21. What＇s the Western Monarch Trail initiative aimed at？
A. Providing a travel route. B. Encountering butterflies.
C. Promoting organic farming. D. Advocating species conservation.
22. What do we know about Andrew Molera State Park？
A. It holds many nectar gardens. B. It＇s pleasant throughout winter.
C. It has sufficient food for butterflies. D. It＇s home to butterflies all year around.
23. What is guaranteed for the travelers along the Western Monarch Trail？
A. Signs to guide the route. B. Cameras for recording videos.
C. Ready shelters to stay overnight. D. Experience of watching ＂sunburst＂ at dawn.
B
Josefa Marin went to New York from Mexico in 1987， supporting her daughter back home
with the ＄140 a week she earned at a sweater factory. With that small income， she had to
collect recyclables， trading in cans for five cents each.
When the clothing factory closed down in the late 2000s， she became a full-time recycler，picking up cans and bottles to make ends meet.
Marin＇s story is not unique. Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it--a vital role that keeps waste manageable. In New York City，the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled.Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year.
Yet collectors are ruled out by government policies. The United States Supreme Court in1988 stated that household garbage is public property once it＇ s on the street. That enables police to search rubbish for evidence， but that protection hasn＇t always been extended to recyclers. And in places like New York City， which is testing city-owned locked containers to hide garbage from rats， containers are made clearly inaccessible for collectors.
＂There＇s value in the waste， and we feel that value should belong to the people， not the city or the corporations，says Ryan Castalia，director of a nonprofit recycling and community center in Brooklyn.
Recognized or not，waste pickers have long been treated with disrespect. Marin recalls an occasion when someone living next to a building where she was collecting cans threw water at her. ＂Because I recycle doesn＇t mean I am less of a person than anyone else，＂she says.
Some governments are starting to realize that protecting the environment and humanity go hand in hand. The United Nation＇s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development， for example，calls for an end to poverty and all the risks it brings.
24. What is the author＇s purpose of telling about Marin？
A. To highlight waste collectors＇ role.
B. To reflect laid-off workers＇ hardship.
C. To praise her devotion to her daughter.
D. To show the seriousness of unemployment.
25. How does the author show the importance of waste pickers＇work？
A. By contrasting. B. By citing reference.
C. By giving definitions. D. By cause-effect analysis.
26. What would Marin agree with？
A. Business is business. B. No job is noble or humble.
C. The early birds catches worms. D. One good tum deserves another.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text？
A. How can we end poverty？ B. Who owns our garbage？
C. Who takes blame for waste？ D. How should we recycle rubbish？
C
The greatest irony（讽刺） of the world-wide celebrations held in 2012 to honour the 200th anniversary（周年纪念） of the first edition of the Grimms＇Hausm rchen involves the discovery that most people really don＇t know the original Grimms＇ tales published in 1812.
If we return to take a closer look at the first edition， we＇ll find it was this edition that
inspired scholars of folk culture throughout Europe to gather tales from the oral tradition and
preserve them for future generations.
When the Grimms Jacob and Wilhelm began collecting al kinds of folk tales and songs at
the beginning of the 19th century， what attracted them to concentrate on old German literature
was a belief that the most natural and pure forms of culture were to be located in the past， while modern literature， even though it might be remarkably rich， was artificial and thus could not express the genuine quality of folk culture that originated naturally from people＇s experiences and bound the people together. Broadly speaking， the Grimms sought to collect and preserve ancient things consisting of tales， songs and documents. They intended to demonstrate how natural language， originating from the needs and customs of the common people， created genuine bonds and helped form civilized communities.
Turning to the first edition a reader might notice that， totally unlike the final edition of
1857，the first edition collects more genuine folk tales， keeping spoken and raw contents，despite the fact that the language is not as pleasing as that in later revised versions. Forinstance， Snow White＇s mother， not her stepmother， wants to kill the beautiful girl out of envy.The storytellers do not beat about the bush and they tell the truths they know， engaging peopleto learn from symbols how to engage their realities， even though magic， incredibletransformation and cruelty are involved.
Lastly，the Grimms＇ little-known first edition reveals forgotten voices that are actually deep within us. Therefore， the irresistibility of the Grimms＇ tales are that really not theirs， but ours.
28. According to the author，why should we rediscover the Grimms＇ first edition？
A. To explore its origin. B. To appreciate its significance.
C. To honour its 200th anniversary. D. To remember the Brothers Grimm.
29. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about？
A. The quality of the folk culture.
B. The contents of the first edition.
C. The feature of the old German literature.
D. The motivation of the Grimms collecting tales.
30. What can we learn about Snow White in the first edition？
A. It is loosely based on the folk tale.
B. It instructs readers to integrate into life.
C. It is appealing for its beautiful language.
D. It exposes envy and cruelty of the stepmother.
31. What can we infer about the Brothers Grimm from the text？
A. They were collectors of antiques.
B. They kept their style in later editions.
C. They thought highly of modern literature.
D. They were pioneers in preserving folk culture.
D
If you live on this planet， there＇s a decent chance you＇ve seen the classic Star TrekEpisode， in which captain Kirk and several members find themselves in what appears to be another universe.
These days，it seems the idea of the multiverse-many worlds-is having its Hollywood moment. Its appeal as a storytelling device is obvious-characters explore a multi-world with varying degrees of similarity to our own， as well as different versions of themselves. Hence，it has been fully established in mainstream pop culture.
While Hollywood can＇t seem to get enough of the multiverse， it remains deeply controversial（有争议的） among scientists. Advocates on the two sides show no mercy toward each other in their books， on their blogs. But physicists didn＇t pull the idea out of thin air-rather， several distinct lines of reasoning seem to point to the multiverse＇s existence. However，critics warn that making the multiverse legal could make it harder for the public to distinguish speculative（推测性的）theories from established fact，making it more difficult to keep pseudo-science （伪科学） at bay. Giving credit to such speculation risks ＂turning fundamental physics into pseudo-science.
The multiverse controversy is rooted in the idea of test ability. If we can＇t interact with these
other universes，or detect them in any way，some experts insist that reduces them to mere
philosophical speculation. But Carroll， an advocate for ＂many worlds＂，argues that
mathematics is the language describing our physical theories； Since Schrdinger＇s equation（方
程），on which Quanturr（量子）mechanic rests，predicts the existence of many worlds，so be it.
Could a more expansive view of the universe itself be the next breakthrough？ As Siegfried puts it: ＂Every time in the past that we＇ve thought， We＇ve got it；this is what the whole universe is-the people who＇ve said，Maybe there＇s more than one of those have always turned out to be right＂.
32. Why is Hollywood so occupied with the multiverse？
A. It makes for engaging plots. B. It is a much-talked-about topic.
C. It is helpful to popularize science. D. It dominates the mainstream pop culture.
33. What do the underlined words in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A. Out of date. B. Out of place. C. Out of nowhere.D. Out of question.
34. According to the opponents， the basic standard of fundamental physics is that
A. it can be detected somehow
B. it can be reasoned logically
C. it can be interpreted philosophically
D. it can be predicted by mathematics equation
35. What might be the author＇s attitude toward the multiverse？
A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C.Unclear. D. Approving.

After building some＂standard＂cargo bikes, 36 this time with something very special. I wanted to build an ideal cargo bike combining the stability of a three-wheeler with the possibility to change directions like being on two wheels.
The first step was to do extensive research.37 An incredible source of technical inspiration was the online Tilting Group. Although primarily concerned with tilting（倾斜） concepts of engine driven constructions， the group is surely the best place to find information about constructing a tilter.
After researching and outlining a few ideas，I grabbed some parts and started with a very simple prototype （雏形）. Building such a vehicle needs a high degree of accuracy， which was not the case with my prolotype.38 . So I made a few more sketches （草图）， which led to an improved version of the driving and tilting mechanism.
Then I started building the tricycle. Building the structure was quite straightforward. As usual I took an old bike apart for the back triangle and then added the front part. After adding a cargo basket to the structure，39 .
Now came the hard part the driving mechanism. I started with the usual design used for
two-wheel cargo bikes， but it took me quite some time to figure out how to pass the driving force to both wheels without allowing the whole thing to lock itself in any angle.
40 ,but I＇m sure I can use the knowledge I gained one way or another.
A. The project was demanding
B. I decided to get my hands dirty again
C. I fell in love with three-wheeler bikes
D. I put all the parts together for the first time
E. It took me quite some time to understand the ideas behind it
F. The engine driven constructions were always the most difficult to fix
G. The consequence was that the driving mechanism locked itself occasionally

From the day Tony was born， Jeff refused to let his son＇s disabilities hold him back. Tony
has cerebral palsy （脑瘫）， making it difficult for him to walk. Determined to show Tony that
he could pursue his dream of being an athlete， when he was 15 years old，Jeff signed him up with Team Triumph， an organization that helps kids with disabilities engage in endurance sports.
＂It gave me a new perspective on life，Tony said. He even dreamed of walking marathon one day. From then on，Tony became addicted to racing，and Jeff also wanted to be a part of it. Though Jeff had been a minor league baseball player， endurance（耐力） sports were new tohim. He made up his mind to achieve Tony＇s dream and started doing things he never dreamed about. He began waking up at 4 a. m. So he could run in the silent street while pushing Tony in a special wheelchair called a racing chair. Every morning，he drove himself to run increasingly longer distances. Soon，he and Tony were entering 5K races，then on to Iron-man triathlons.
Finishing the Iron-man competition in under 16 hours would be another dream for Jeff and Tony. The big day came. The race began with a 2. 4-mile swim in the river. Jeff helped Tony into a kayak （皮船）. With one end of a rope tied to a belt around his back and the other end to the kayak， Jeff eased himself into the water. Swimming while dragging another person is quite tough. The pair completed the swim in 90 minutes， and then it was on to the next leg； a 112-mile bicycle ride. Their custom-built bike had an additional seat in the back for Tony that
faced backward.
After completing the demanding bike part in roughly nine hours， they set their sights on
the final leg of the race-a 26. 2-mile marathon with Jeff pushing Tony in the racing chair.They＇d been competing for 10 hours，with only 6 hours left for the race. The first 7 miles went smoothly.
