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，从所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C和D ）中 ，选出最佳选项。
A
One of the most stressful days of Susan McFrederick’s life was watching her son get wheeled away for surgery hours after he was born in 2011.
But after the operation, Susan burst into tears for a different reason: across the cut on their newborn sons back was a sweet winter scene, hand-drawn on his bandages.
“There were rolling hills of snow, a pine tree and a snowman with a hat and broom, she recalled. It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken the time to do that for my family. It was a moment I'll never forget.”
Susan soon learned the artist was her sons surgeon, Robert Parry, who discovered another way to use his hands in the mid-1980 s during his internship at children's medical center. where he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes to decorate children’s bandages.
“My first reaction was, ‘What is he doing Hey, that’s kind of neat,’ ” Parry recalled. “I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork. The smiles took everyone's attention from the surgery. Then I decided to follow suit.”
Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and sharks, and started to surprise families with drawings that captured young patients' personalities. From Snoopy to Spider-Man and bears to butterflies, there isn’t much he hasn’t drawn. Most kids want superheroes sports team logos or princesses, while babies often receive scenes with flowers trees and sea creatures. During the last 30 years, Parry estimates he has left examples of his handiwork over the stitches of more than 10, 000 children.
“During a time of stress for families, it's nice to be able to help them smile and laugh," Parry said. This is something positive that I can do for them, which is what I like most about it.”
For Parry, the reward is knowing he hopefully made a difference in a child’s life, and except for his drawings on bandages, they can go on and live their lives and never know I was in it.” he said.
He's not ready to retire, but he's found a new hobby to keep his hands skillful in the years to come.
“I've taken up knitting,” Parry said. “Hats, sweaters, gloves—I enjoy it all. But mostly, I enjoy giving everything away.”
21. Susan burst into tears after her baby's operation because she was__________.
A. moved B. amused C. stressed D. heartbroken
22. How did Parry get the idea of decorating children's bandages
A. He was motivated by his patients.

D. He was encouraged by Susan to show his genius for art.
23. Parry's artworks during the last 30 years show that he__________.
A. devoted himself more to art than to medicine.
B. knew more about his patients than their parents.
C. took into consideration the tastes of individual patients.
D. created a large number of works beyond his expectations.
24. What does Parry expect to achieve with his artworks
A. To get a reward from the artistic circle.
B. To win the admiration of his colleagues.
C. To make a difference in his dull medical career.
D. To lift the spirits of his patients and their parents.

B
When I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going into “real” majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major. I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing ing out of this experience, I realize it is ok to be different from others and to study things like classics, art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities(人文科学).
The worries most people have about a Humanitie degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract, and one will not obtain any applicable skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective. How could one effectively be an unbiased（无偏见的）writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society How could one speak persuasively with closed minds Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! With a broader perspective, we will be more free, more open-minded, and less limited in what we can become!
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graduates learn actual skills in their studies, while humanities majors learn “soft skills” like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing（综合）ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural awareness. Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you Think of it. How often do you communicate with others Produce ideas Encounter people from other cultures Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills
If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed. The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist’s grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Chase after your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think.
26. Why did the author choose Business Management as his major at first
A. He was tired of learning comparative literature.
B. He came to enjoy learning marketing techniques.
C. He wanted to go to the same university as his friends.
D. He believed Business Management was more practical.
27. According to the author, what is a possible way to gain a broad perspective
A. Making more friends and learning from them.
B. Exchanging ideas in a philosophy seminar.
C. Opening your mind to future possibilities.
D. Getting to know the popular opinion of society.
28. In which of the following situations do soft skills play the most important role
A. Writing a software program. B. Performing a heart operation.
C. Playing a musical instrument. D. Negotiating with a business partner.
29. The author believes the job market for Humanities graduates is _____ .
A. recovering. B. depressing. C. promising. D. challenging.
30. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Stick to Your Desired major B. Broaden Your Perspective
C. How to Acquire Soft Skills D. Humanities vs. STEM
C
Transport has a lot to answer for when it comes to harming the planet. While cars and trains are moving towards greener, electric power, emissions from air travel are expected to increase massively by 2050. If we want big green sky solutions, we need blue sky thinking. Fortunately, there's plenty of that happening right now, particularly the short-haul flights powered by batteries.
Harbour Air is the largest seaplane airline in North America, flying 30, 000 commercial flights in 40 seaplanes each year. Significantly, all Harbour Air routes last less than 30 minutes, making it perfectly fit for electric engines. “As an airline, we're currently in the process of turning all our planes into electric airplanes.” says CEO Greg Mc Dougall.
Making the skies electric isn't just good for the environment, it also makes sound financial sense: a small aircraft uses $400 on conventional fuel for a 100-mile flight, while an electric one costs $8-12 for the same distance, and that's before you factor in the higher maintenance costs of a traditional engine. There's also the added bonus that electric planes are just much more pleasant to fly in. No loud engine noise, no smell of fuel, just environmentally friendly peace and quiet.
While there has been real progress in the e-plane industry, the technical challenges that remain are keeping everyone's feet firmly on the ground. A battery, even a lithium one, only provides 250 watt-hours per kilogram; compare this to liquid fuel, which has a specific energy of 11, 890 watt-hours per kilogram. Carrying adequate batteries, however, would make the plane too heavy to get off the ground. In aircraft, where every bit of weight counts, this can't just be ignored.
The transition from gas to electric in the automobile industry has been made easier by hybrids-vehicles powered by both fuel and electricity. Many believe the same pattern could be followed in the air. Fuel consumption could be reduced as the electric component is switched on at key parts of the journey, especially on take-off and landing.
It's certainly an exciting time for electric flying. With companies like Harbour Air taking the lead, battery-powered planes, especially on short-haul journeys, are set to become a reality in the next few years.
31. According to Para. l, what is happening in air transport
A. New explorations of the sky are being launched.
B. Pollution caused by batteries is being controlled
C. Efforts are being made to make air travel greener.
D. Demand for short-haul flights is increasing massively.
32. The expression "added bonus" refers to the fact that electric planes___________.
A. give passengers more pleasant views
B. bring airlines more financial benefits
C. offer more enjoyable flying experiences
D. cost less in maintenance than traditional ones
33. What might be the biggest challenge of electric flying
A. To improve the ground service for e-planes.
B. To find qualified technicians for e-plane industry.
C. To calculate the energy needed to power e-planes.
D. To balance power and weight of batteries in e-planes.
34. What could be done during the transition from gas to electric in air flight
A. To produce new electric components.
B. To increase battery consumption.
C. To use mixed-power technology.
D. To expand the landing field.
35. What is the author's attitude towards the prospect of electric flying
A. Short-sighted. B. Wait-and-see C. Optimistic. D. Skeptical.

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 prototype. 38 . So I made a few more sketches, 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

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Hector stood in the front of his fifth-grade classroom as one of the last two competitors in the Room Five Geography Bee. His opponent having missed the last question, it was Hector's turn. If he answered his question correctly, he would be the Room Five champion.
"Where did I put that second sheet of questions " Mr. Adler whispered while searching through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler, though a great teacher, had a reputation of being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things.
"Oh well, I apologize for the delay." said Mr. Adler after what seemed like a long time. "Hector, please tell us the capital city of Brazil." Hearing the question, Hector smiled. Then, there was the answer.
Later that day in the courtyard, many classmates congratulated Hector. Wearing a proud smile, he greeted and thanked them all. Oh, the sweet taste of victory.
As it was getting late, the courtyard became deserted. But Hector still didn't want to leave. Then he saw Mr. Adler crossing the courtyard and holding a half-open bag full of papers. As he hurried past, an envelope dropped out but Mr. Adler was unaware, turned a corner and disappeared out of sight. Hector picked it up. On the envelope were the words "Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers". Hector stared wide-eyed at the envelope. Before he even had time to reflect on the consequences, he opened it and read the questions.
As soon as Hector had done it, he knew it was the wrong choice. He'd cheated and whatever he did now, he couldn't change the fact. "What if Mr. Adler thought I stole this morning's questions too " Hector thought. "He'd take away my Room Five victory for sure." Little did he know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly. Torn by his conscience, Hector was totally at a loss what to do.
注意：续写词数应为150左右；
Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler's room.______________

Dear Mr. Green,
With World Water Day around the corner, our school is planning a series of activities. I'm writing to invite you to give us a lecture on the topic of wastewater disposal and utilization.
The lecture will be held in our School Hall from 4:00 to 5:30 on the afternoon of March 19.We hope it can arouse students’ awareness of water crisis as well as developing the habit of water recycling. If everyone can make good use of water, we together can make a big difference.
I would be grateful if you could accept my invitation. I'm looking forward to early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Before he realized it,Hector found himself standing in Mr, Adler's room."Hector!Come and help me look for.." "This " Hector stopped Mr. Adler mid-sentence, holding out the open envelope. Mr. Adler's brows were smoothed but then knitted again. Before he formed questions.Hector started unbosoming his regrets. If he had waited another moment, they would have torn him into pieces. “Can I still be in the Bee "asked Hector timidly. “Absolutely, my honest boy,Mr. Adler patted his shoulder.“"I don't believe in punishing people for making the right decisions and correcting their mistakes."Immense relief washed over Hector.
The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. Having been up late studying, Hector looked exhausted but extremely excited. So did all the other competitors. All the eyes fixed on the stage, Hector felt blood rushing onto his cheeks and his heart beating fast. Unfortunately, the questions Mr, Adler rewrote were so tough that he was knocked out in round three. But Hector realized to his surprise that he didn't feel bad about losing at all. Whether others knew he was smart was of' no significance. He'd set out to learn everything about the world and ended up learning more about himself.

(Text 10)
M: Well, Monica, I'm sure you'll enjoy working here.I'm the librarian.We're open from half past eight in the morning until eight in the evening but you're not expected to be here all that time.You start working at a quarter to nine and finish at a quarter past five, OK
Now, students aren't allowed to bring large bags into the library.But staff can bring their bags in and leave them in the office.You have an hour for lunch. But I don't like staff eating in the library.Of course you can have a cup of coffee there while you're working. If you bring sandwiches for lunch, there's a common room downstairs where you can eat them. If you want to buy lunch, I'd recommended the dining room upstairs. There are cafés in the town center but it's a bit of rush to get there and back in an hour though they're cheap.OK.Any questions
