第二部分阅读(共两节, 满分 50 分)
第一节(共 15 小题；每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 37. 5 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
High-tech cars
Continuing with efforts to deliver a zero-carbon event, Olympic organizers have partnered
with a company to create several new vehicles to transport athletes between the Olympic Villge
and their events using renewable energy sources. Such vehicles are battery-powered, which use
LiDAR technology to map out its surroundings and drive autonomously. The company has also
developed cell-powered buses and each can carry at most 38 passengers and transport them while
releasing no carbon.
Robotic assistants
Meet the Human Support Robot (HSR)and Delivery Support Robot (DSR), both supporting the
various activities of Olympic viewers. From guiding people to their seats to delivering food, these
handy robots have been designed under the concept of providing viewers with support, including
those with disabilities.
Remote communication
Near life-size displays have been combined with a set of wheels to create the T-TR1. These
machines allow remote viewers to have two-way communication with people at the events using a
built-in 360-degree camera.
Remote viewers
If there was ever a need for creating more innovative ways to virtually attend events, that
time is now. An Olympic partner has developed the T-HR3 robot for remote viewers. This
machine is controlled via a system that allows a person to move the entire body of the T-HR3
through wearable controls. However, the 5G wireless connection between the system and the
robot can only support a physical distance of up to six miles.
21. What is the main advantage of High-tech cars
A. Their safety. B. Their eco-friendliness.
C. Their surroundings. D. Their capacity.
22. What can a DSR do
A. It can bring food to viewers.
B. It can function as a player.
C. It can serve as a viewer's seat.
D. It can help disabled players.
23. To experience the games virtually, which might a non-athlete turn to
A. LiDAR. B. HSR. C. DSR. D. T-HR3
B
Looking like something from a sci-fi movie, the SeaOrbiter was designed to tower
above the waves as it made its way through some of the most unexplored parts of the world's
oceans. It is a breathtaking ship, featuring its underwater platform and advanced science labs. It
can host a crew of up to 22 for long-term scientific missions lasting over six months.
Its scale when seen on the horizon(地平线 )would have been great. While modern ships
usually sit flat to the surface and have most of their mass laid out, the SeaOrbiter was to resemble
a floating tower, rising to a total height of 51 meres, the height of Nelson's Column in
London—with over half below the ocean.
Designed not just to move in the seas, but also to explore their depths, six of the SeaOrbiter's
twelve decks were to sit below sea level, bringing the undersea kingdom to life and providing
uninterrupted underwater observation for the scientists and explorers aboard. Its goal was to
pullback the curtain on one of nature's most unexplored habitats.
Despite covering 70 per cent of our planet, with only 5 per cent explored and less than 20 per
cent mapped, our oceans are still largely a mystery. What's more, humans have explored less than
1 per cent of the deep ocean. In fact, we know less about the ocean floor than we do about the
surface of the Moon.
Construction of the 1, 000-ton ship had been due to start in 2014, but by May 2015 only the
first part of the construction was successfully completed. Construction was made possible by a
crowd-funding campaign.
24. What is the unique feature of the SeaOrbiter according to paragraph 1
A. Being specially designed based on a sci-fi film.
B. Being shaped exactly like an unexplored tower.
C. Possessing underwater platform and advanced science labs.
D. Enabling 22 people to carry out long-term scientific tasks.
25. Why does the author mention Nelson's Column
A. To introduce the distant origin of the ship.
B. To stress the underwater part of the ship.
C. To illustrate the amazing height of the ship.
D. To highlight the floating ability of the ship.
26. What do the data in paragraph 4 imply
A. Over 20 per cent of the oceans has been charted.
B. There is much for us to explore about the ocean floor.
C. Humans have explored only 5 per cent of the deep sea.
D. The ocean floor is easier to reach than the surface of the Moon.
27. Why was the SeaOrbiter designed
A. To move in space in a usual way.
B. To compete with space exploration.
C. To uncover the mysteries of deep seas.
D. To complete a crowd-funding campaign.
C
Worrying news stories about people with cancer seem never-ending. The physical condition
is often cruel. It also has some psychological characteristics that make it fearsome. We are more
frightened by threats over which we feel we have no control. More than any other diseases, cancer
causes various worries, which helps explain why it has been the most horrible in richer nations
with longer lifespans for decades.
One overlooked effect of this fear has been the creation of cancerphobia, which George
called in 1955. He wrote: “In terms of the total number of people affected, fear of cancer is
causing more suffering than cancer itself. ”In important ways, our deep fear of it is outdated, a
phobia that no longer matches the evidence and causes huge harm.
Most people believe a diagnosis( 诊 断 )of cancer means death. Slow but steady progress in
the past few decades has made roughly two-thirds of all cancers completely curable.
Many people believe cancer screening is beneficial because it is always best to find cancer as
early as possible. Screening helps, certainly, but it also harms. There is much evidence that these
worries can leave lasting psychological scars. Worse still screening inappropriately finds
“overdiagnosed” cancers. They are found early when small and meet the sick criteria of cancer
under a microscope, but grow slowly or never cause any symptoms.
Some people believe most cancers are caused by environmental carcinogens(致癌 物). We
now know cancer is primarily caused by naturally occurring mutations(变异)to DNA as we age.
Cancers only became common in the early 1900s, as average lifespans in richer nations reached
into the 50s.
We can't entirely cure cancer. Nor can we entirely “cure” cancerphobia. But we must work to
reduce the harm they both cause to our health and to society in general. Research into fighting
cancer has come a long way. The work on our cancerphobia is just beginning.
28. What can be known about cancer in paragraph 1
A. Cancer puts rich people at greater risk.
B. Cancer spreads quickly throughout the world.
C. Cancer goes beyond the control of humans.
D. Cancer threatens people physically and mentally.
29. What does the author think of cancer screening
A. It is a double-edged sword.
B. It proves an effective measure.
C. It leaves patients with physical scars.
D. It sets the standard for early diagnosis.
30. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. There's no need to worry too much about cancer.
B. The environment has nothing to do with cancer.
C. People over fifty are certain to develop cancer.
D. Research on cancerphobia has made big progress.
31. What is the author's purpose of writing the passage
A. To reveal secrets.
B. To show sympathy.
C. To modernize beliefs.
D. To gain recognition.
D
Making the world safer for butterflies can be as easy as doing a bit of nothing. Ecologist
Richard Fox suggests a surprising yet effective way to protect butterflies: allowing some part of
one's yard unmanaged. This a bit “wild” grassland can significantly boost butterfly populations.
The key, Richard Fox explains, lies in providing safe space for caterpillars(毛毛虫), who often fall
victim to lawn mowers(割草机). This approach emphasizes the importance of resisting the urge to
tidy up everything, allowing nature to take its course.
Richard Fox and his colleague analyzed data from their organization's Great Butterfly Survey
to investigate the impact of unmowed yards on butterfly populations. They found that in yards
surrounded by other houses, long grass could increase butterfly abundance by up to 18 percent. In
yards surrounded entirely by farms, the increase could be as high as 93 percent. This suggests that
even if individual yards don't see huge increases, the total area of safe space could add up if a lot
of yards went a little wild.
The practice of leaving yards unmowed would not only help butterflies but could also be
more beneficial for moths. Their caterpillars are more likely to feed on grass than butterfly
larvae( 幼虫 ), making unmanaged yards a perfect habitat for them. Moths, which are more
numerous than butterflies and tend to fly at night, are a “key cog in the ecosystem, ”Richard Fox
says. “They're supporting and maintaining food chains for many of our garden birds and many
small mammals like bats. ”
Whether for butterflies or moths, the study highlights an underappreciated diet. “So often
gardeners think about plants and nectar(花蜜 )when planting butterfly gardens, ” said Matthew
Shepherd. “That's great, but it's not supporting all the life stages of insects.
Often nectar is a grownup food. What caterpillars need is baby food. ”
32. What does Richard Fox suggest to protect butterflies
A. Planting colorful flowers. B. Leaving part of yards wild.
C. Keeping yards neat and tidy. D. Creating all-native grasslands.
33. Unmanaged yards can benefit butterfly populations most when they are
A. located within some farms B. surrounded by houses
C. filled with wild animals D. maintained regularly
34. What does the underlined word “cog” in paragraph 3 possibly mean
A. Sign. B. Tool. C. Part. D. Rate.
35. Which of the following may Matthew Shepherd agree with
A. Gardeners should pay more attention to grownup insects.
B. There are sufficient plants for different insects in gardens.
C. More flowers are needed to attract more butterflies.
D. Baby insects are supposed to be well fed in gardens.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有 两项为多余
选项。
It's hard to define what trust is. Sure, there is the dictionary definition—a firm belief in the
reliability, truth or ability of someone or something. 36 ____________ Our ability to trust in
others is influenced by our experiences, personalities and so on.
37_____________ When you order a taxi, you're putting your trust in the driver to get you
safely from A to B. When you hire someone to deliver a service, you have to trust they will do a
good job. When you have a secret business conversation with a new customer, you need to trust
that they won't let it out.
The deepest trust is developed over time, whether that's with our partners, our family or our
oldest friends. 38___________ But when it comes to meeting people for the first time, we are
unknowingly influenced by the environment around us. Everything we have experienced in our
life feeds into our ability to trust people now. 39___________ Some can disconnect past
experiences from future experiences. Others find it harder to let go and associate past bad
experiences with present situations.
Whether you're someone who trusts too easily, or someone who is very distrustful, you can
manage to develop a healthy level of trust. Focus on what you believe in, what values you hold
close to your heart and who you are. 40_________ Gradually, you will be open to new
relationships.
A. But real trust is much more complex than that.
B. Such an ability plays a key role in social bonds.
C. Trust lies at the heart of our daily life in many ways.
D. Trust is a key part of good relationships and friendships.
E. Those are people we share our secrets with and feel safe among.
F. This will help you to live your life in a way that's true to you as a person.
G. How much these past experiences affect future trust varies from person to person.

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。
I was shy when I was young—everyone made me nervous. I was also what most teachers and
parents would call a “good kid”, following the rules, and rarely questioning authority. But then
one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that.
The school bus that day was smelly and crowded. The windows were all rolled up by the bus
driver's orders—it was raining too hard outside. Most of the other kids were engaged in
conversations and games. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one. Over and over, I carefully
wiped a small circle on my window so that I could watch outside.
The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to be cleared. The driver, Mrs. Foster, was
particularly tense that day and had yelled at several kids who had been standing up in their seats.
As I sat quietly, I saw a little cat on the other side of the road. It was all wet and didn't seem
to know where to go. I wanted to help the cat, but the bus driver would never allow me off the bus.
I would get into big trouble for trying to rescue a cat across a busy, rainy street. I also thought that
if I pointed out the miserable cat, the other kids would probably think I was strange. I couldn't
bear that.
My window was cloudy again, and when I wiped the window clear, I could see the cat was
now struggling in running water and shaking. I saw absolute terror in its dark, round eyes.
I felt like I was drowning along with the little cat, tears rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to
rush off the bus without asking for permission to save the cat. But I also pictured the other kids
staring at me. I sat still, unable to act. The bus began to move forward. I could see the cat
panicked. I glanced around, but no one else seemed to have noticed. I hadn't even realized that I
was standing up.
When Mrs. Foster yelled at me to sit down, I was shocked.

Preserving China's Cultural Heritage
With the approach of the campaign themed “Preserving China's Cultural Heritage”, it is a call for
each one of us to actively engage in the preservation of our cultural legacy.
Practical steps should be taken, such as designing aware-raising posters that highlight the
significance of the campaign. We can also actively participate in local conservation projects,
volunteering to maintain historical sites and monuments. Lastly, take good advantage of social
media to share our cultural heritage globally, which serves as a bridge between the past, present,
and future.
Jet's join hands in preserving our invaluable cultural heritage, ensuring that it remains a source of
inspiration and pride for generations to come.

When Mrs. Foster yelled ai me to sit down, I was shocked. I immediately sat back down.
Although I did not break rules, my heart was racing. I prayed that someone else would notice and
rescue the pity cat. Realizing it was less likely for the cat to be noticed in such a busy and rainy
street, I couldn't just sit back and do nothing. I gathered my courage and rushed towards the
driver. “Mrs. Foster. I have to help that cat in trouble, and I can't just leave it there. ”I said firmly.
Her eyes met mine, surprise quickly replaced by a look of understanding. She pulled over.
“No one is to leave this bus. ”Mrs. Foster said seriously, rushing into rain. Without grabbing an
umbrella, Mrs. Foster quickly pulled the cat into the safety of her arms. As we all. watched in
silence, she tightly held the terrified creature, removed her own coat to wrap the cat in it, and then
raced back to the bus. We all cheered until she gestured us to be quiet. The cat was rescued, and I
breathed a sigh of relief. I was still a pretty good kid after that day, but I learned to speak up to
overcome my shyness.
