三、阅读理解
A
When it comes to the UK, London likes to steal all the attention. Yes, yes, I know: it's a great city with lots of culture and sights to see. However, I think we all need a break sometimes from the chaos of the city. Specifically, a trip to one of the UK's national parks. A total of 15 areas in the UK are protected by the government. This allows everyone access to unblemished （洁净的）moors （旷野）, mountains, rivers and a home where wildlife can flourish.
In total, the national parks cover over 23,000 square kilometres, so where do you begin
Dartmoor
A paradise for a picnic, Dartmoor in the south of England offers miles and miles of beautiful but lonely moorland. Climb over natural rock formations such as Haytor or hike for hours into the sunset with only wild ponies （矮种马）for company. Be mindful - they might look sweet, but those wanting to pet them may lose a finger .
Snowdonia
If you're after a challenge, head over to Snowdonia and climb the highest mountain in Wales. At 1,085 metres high, the views from Snowdon are spectacular. It will take you 5-6 hours to climb up and back down again. If a little mountain climbing isn't your scene, the mountain railway will have you there and back in half the time.
Castles
In addition to Snowdon, Wales has over 100 castles spread throughout its three national parks. Some are broken ruins, blending with the nature around them, while others have been restored to their original glory. Climb the towers of Caernarfon Castle and explore the exhibitions to learn about medieval life, or visit the ghostly ruins of Ragland Castle just south of the Brecon Beacons.
Ullswater
For those who feel more at home on the water, the Lake District has over 15 stunning (极美的) lakes. Ullswater is particularly beautiful and the perfect place for scenic boat trips, sailing or canoeing with friends. Swimming is also popular if you are able to brave the cold. Surrounding the lake are charming villages and countryside which can be explored by foot or on horseback.
the White Cliffs of Dover
In the South Downs you'll find one of Britain's most striking views: the White Cliffs of Dover. This is the first view of England you'll see if arriving by ferry, as long as it's not foggy, of course. Stretching for miles between the blue sea and even bluer sides, the pure white cliffs feature in many wartime songs and films. Not convinced Fear not, London is just over an hour away by train.
36. What is the writer's main purpose in writing the text
A．To explore the UK's distinctive culture.
B．To inform readers of the attractions in London.
C．To recommend some of the UK's national parks.
D．To explain why national parks are popular in the UK
37. In Dartmoor, tourists can enjoy themselves by ________.
a. going hiking
b. riding wild ponies
c. having a picnic
d. climbing the highest mountain there
A．a, b
B．a, c
C．b. c
D．c, d
38. For those who are interested in medieval history, ______ would be a good destination.
A．Snowdonia
B．Caernarfon Castle
C．Ullswater
D．the South Downs
39. To travel around villages in the Lake District, tourists can________.
A．take a train
B．take a ferry
C．ride a horse
D．go on a boat trip
B
Who cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more important influences than the washing machine Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业), with negative consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.
40. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to ________.
A．a lack of confidence in technology
B．a slow progress in technology
C．a conflict of public opinions
D．a waste of limited resources
41. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should ________.
A．take people’s essential needs into account
B．make their programmes attractive to people
C．ensure that each child gets financial support
D．provide more affordable internet facilities
42. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations
A．Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.
B．Believing that the world has become borderless.
C．Ignoring the power of economic development.
D．Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.
43. What can we learn from the passage
A．People should be encouraged to make more donations.
B．Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.
C．Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.
D．Economic policies should follow technological trends.
C
The 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默症). He was losing his memory.
A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family. Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family.
Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep each night when she was young. She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father.
Naomi, Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help.
“Why do this ” Steve wondered.
“Because she cares.” Melissa said.
Steve nodded, tear in eye.
Naomi drove to the Goodwin home. She told Steve she’d love to hear him play. Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys.
Naomi put a small recorder near the piano. Starts and stops and mistakes. Long pauses, heart sinking. But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger.
“It was beautiful.” Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.”
Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was still in Steve Goodwin. It was hidden in rooms with doors about to be locked.
Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together. He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and then she’d take his place. He struggled to explain what he heard in his head. He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else.
Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key. Steve heard it. All of it. He just couldn’t play it.
Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve. It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song. One day, Naomi received an email. Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight. Steve called it “Melancholy Flower”.
Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him “honey” and encouraged him. The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting. Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece.
Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal, songs. With Naomi’s help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve’s songs. Joni thought that would be the end. But it wasn’t.
In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind: “Melancholy Flower. ”
She told the director about her project with Steve. The director agreed to add it to the playing list. But Naomi would have to ask Steve’s permission. He considered it an honor.
After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and professional. It needed to be shared in public.
The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert. By the day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend.
By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends. He knew the path his life was now taking. He told his family he was at peace.
Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family. The house lights faded. Naomi took the stage. Her fingers. His heart.
44. Why did Melissa want to save her father’s music
A．His music could stop his disease from worsening.
B．She wanted to please her dying old father.
C．His music deserved to be preserved in the family.
D．She wanted to make her father a professional.
45. After hearing Steve’s playing, Naomi ________.
A．refused to make a comment on it
B．was deeply impressed by his music
C．decided to free Steve from suffering
D．regretted offering help to her friend
46. How can the process of Steve’s recording be described
A．It was slow but productive.
B．It was beneficial to his health.
C．It was tiresome for Naomi.
D．It was vital for Naomi’s career.
47. Before Steve finished “Melancholy Flower,” his wife Joni _______.
A．thought the music talent of Steve was exhausted
B．didn’t expect the damage the disease brought about
C．didn’t fully realize the value of her husband’s music
D．brought her husband’s music career to perfection

A．He felt concerned about his illness.
B．He sensed a responsibility for music.
C．He regained his faith in music.
D．He got into a state of quiet.

C．The Making of a Musician
D．The Value of Determination
D
When we are born, we are unflawed. As we grow, we develop many complexities due to many influences in our lives. Our brain collects and retains all visual, auditory（听觉的）information from the moment we are born and to the smallest of the details. Apart from our brain having memory, cells in our body, in billions, have their own memory. In other words, our body stores both physiological and psychological memories. We are complex emotional beings in nature compared to any other living animal.
Apparently, physical and psychological memories strongly influence our emotions! Interestingly, we can create, store, and release emotion like energy. Moreover, if we do not process our negative emotions properly and suppressed for a long time, they can find a way out violently and unexpectedly. Unfortunately, we carry our guilt throughout our lives putting ever-increasing burden on our shoulders. We become heavy with guilt and anger for things we could or did not achieve, and for things we cannot have.
Both guilt and anger are useless for us. They give us no advantage. Therefore, one may ask: is there a way to put down the burden from our heavy shoulders It is possible, indeed. Importantly, since our guilt and anger inside us neither released nor given attention, they are stored. Actually, we should process and address our emotions in order to remove from our system. We cannot just wish them away.
In fact, by acknowledging their presence and providing a channel for them to dissipate, we can dissolve our emotions gradually. Taking drugs and consuming alcohol only worsen situation. They only provide short-term comfort. Is there a better way to unload our burden Luckily, we have a natural gift to process our feeling and emotions. Forgiveness stands first of all the other natural remedies.
Indeed, there is no better way than forgiving ourselves. Of course, we should also learn to readily forgive others. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, we also naturally forgive others.
In summary, there is no benefit carrying our years of emotional baggage. By forgiving, we can throw away the emotional baggage we carry for years. Forgive your past mistakes. The moment you start forgiving, you feel a lot lighter and years of heaviness lifted magically! To your surprise, you start feeling a lot energetic and optimistic in your daily life.
50. From the first paragraph we know that________.
A．Human beings are born with complexity.
B．Our body has the ability to memorize information.
C．Our brain can collect and retain all information
D．Not all the other living animals have complex emotions like human beings.
51. Why do some people relieve themselves from negative emotions violently
A．Because human beings are complex emotional beings in nature.
B．Because physical and psychological memories strongly influence our emotions.
C．Because they keep bad emotions inside for too long and don't deal with them correctly.
D．Because our body stores both physiological and psychological memories.
52. Which statement is NOT true according to this passage
A．We should recognize our negative emotion's existence and cope with it.
B．Our shoulders are too weak to put up with the burdens.
C．Setting a goal beyond our reach may lead to negative emotions.

53. Which of the following statements may the author agree with

B．Only if you have the wish , there is a way to dissolve your guilt.
C．Try to dissipate your anger and guilt, or they will be stored inside.

阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。
I've noticed that conversations with my children have started to turn into something that I don't like. It could be my fault. I don't always think before I open my mouth. For example, my kids would call me to tell me about something that's been bothering them. Then, as soon as they're finished, I go into mom mode. I can't help it. It's my default setting(默认设置).
"You should ..." "You need to consider ..." "Have you thought of..." "If I were you, I'd ..."
“Mom!”
The tone is full of frustration and annoyance. The meaning is obvious—"Stop!”
I am the queen of unwanted advice. When I get one of my adult kids on the phone, I become an expert on everything and anything, which I'm obviously not. I want to be part of their lives. More importantly, I want to prevent them from making mistakes that seem so obvious to me.
I'm hardly alone in this. Over lunch the other day, a friend told me that her son rarely listened to anything she said. "It's like talking to a wall," she added. I know that feeling all too well. But I'm learning, very slowly, that talking at is not the same as talking with.
Giving advice to children can be full of problems. Though we may see ourselves sharing the wisdom of our years, they see something else. They see a controlling parent who hasn't accepted the fact that they're adults with their own thoughts and feelings.
They're not looking for any smart recipe because they have their own system and don't need your tips. They may not even want an immediate solution to a difficult problem. What they're really hoping for is a safe place to talk with a person who loves and supports them no matter what.
Because of this, I've given myself the goal of becoming a better parent by being a better listener. It's not an easy task. But I'm determined, I'm strong.
56. What causes the children's tone of frustration and annoyance in the conversations with the author (no more than 6 words)
57. Why does the author like giving advice to her children (no more than 15 words)
58. What does the underlined word remedies mean ( no more than 1 word)
59. What do the children actually need in the talk with their parents according to the passage (no more than 15 words)
60. What do you expect your parents to do when you are talking with them about your school life Please explain it. (no more than 25 words)
