III. 阅读理解（共16小题,每小题2.5分; 满分40分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，并做每篇后面的题目。从四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。（共16小题；每小题2.5分，满分40分）
A
Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔纸) for the magical creatures. When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become.
As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable. I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture. I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process.
One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from *Alice in Wonderland*. Alice is now in the Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.
My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by hand, a 24- carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0. 078 mm by 0. 053 mm.
I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for neurodiverse children, sharing my story and helping them create their own miniature figures.
The microscopic world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small- is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty, too.
51. What drove the author to make tiny sculpture at the beginning
A. His interest in insects. B. His desire to make a name.
C. His dream of setting a record. D. His awareness of wildlife protection.
52. Which of the following can best describe the author’s sculpting process
A. Eventful and enjoyable. B. Complex and frustrating.
C. Money- wasting but entertaining. D. Time- consuming but fulfilling.
53. How does the author deal with his autism now
A. He receives medical treatment. B. He takes full advantage of it.
C. He regards it as the source of failure. D. He shares it and asks help from others.
54. What message does the author mainly convey through the text
A. Great art comes at a cost of loss.
B. Childhood experiences sculpt a career.
C. Minor things in life can carry weight.
D. Hard work contributes to great achievements.
B
We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter, the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience.
“It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.
55. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. Addiction to smartphones.
B. Inappropriate behaviors in public places.
C. Absence of communication between strangers.
D. Impatience with slow service.
56. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci
A. Showing good manners. B. Relating to other people.
C. Focusing on a topic. D. Making business deals.
57. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk
A. It improves family relationships.
B. It raises people’s confidence.
C. It matters as much as a formal talk.
D. It makes people feel good.
58. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Conversation Counts
B. Ways of Making Small Talk
C. Benefits of Small Talk
D. Uncomfortable Silence
C
Human activity has shrunk(缩小)the size of wild animals worldwide, and yet recent research has found many mammals living near cities have gradually become larger, both in length and in weight.The findings are unexpected.Spreading urban environments can grow much hotter than natural habitats, and warmer temperatures usually benefit mammals that have a smaller, more energy saving figure—a principle of biology known as Bergmann’s rule.
As the world grows warmer, scientists have worried that mammals living near cities are going to grow smaller, possibly reducing their fitness and the fitness of their predators (捕食者). Even with climate change that might not happen. As it turns out, there is another factor affecting a mammal’s size that might exceed temperature, and that is food. In and around places with dense populations, where high calorie human foods are more widely available and predators are fewer and farther in between, new research discovered that most of the mammal species studied appear to be growing in size, not shrinking.According to careful measurements of more than 100 species from North America, gathered from museum collections over the past 80 years, the main reason is not a city’s temperature. Instead, the greatest increases in weight and body length appear to lie among those mammals that live near humans, regardless of how hot their surroundings are.
As climate change grows worse, there is, of course, the possibility that that might change, but at least for now, it seems wolves, deer, bats and other mammals in North America could be affected more by city populations than city climates.
If we want to protect mammals that exist today for the future, it’s important that we know how human civilization is influencing their size, behavior, and well being. In a rapidly changing world, that knowledge could mean the difference between ongoing life and dying out.
59. Why are the findings unexpected according to paragraph 1
A. The temperature in cities is hotter than that in nature.
B. Mammals around cities grow against Bergmann’s rule.
C. The animals living in nature become bigger in size.
D. The city temperature makes animals become smaller.
60. What does the underlined word “dense” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Large. B.Young. C. Working. D. Educated.
61. Which of the following best describes the main idea of the text
A. Human activity has shrunk the size of wild animals.
B. Climate matters most in determining the size of mammals.
C. Mammals become larger with more food near cities.
D. Living in hot surroundings shapes the size of mammals.
62. What will the passage most probably talk about next
A. Human’s impact on the mammals’ development.
B. Different ways to rescue the endangered city animals.
C. How to help mammals adjust to the climate change.
D. What healthy food can be given to city mammals.
D

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。第67-69每题答案不超过 5 词，第70题答案不超过 20 词。
My brother and I were driving home together and started talking. Because of this distraction, my brother took a wrong turn.
Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us toward a bridge, and we had no way of turning back. My brother had to pay to cross. He was clearly thwarted by the mistake and the needless waste of $4.
As we drove forward, my brother noticed a beat-up (破旧的) black Mustang (福特野马汽车) pulled over to the side of the road. A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire.
My brother helped him change the flat. We started getting to know the young man who was from a rough neighborhood nearby. He said that this has been a bad week for him; earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us “a breath of fresh air” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn’t come along. After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 to try to give it to us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge. We took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.”
What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his annoyance over the mistake into positive energy. He was able to see a chance to help (which I totally missed!) even in an otherwise negative situation, which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart. That was the bridge we were meant to cross.
67. What made the author’s brother take a wrong turn
____________________________________________________
68. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “thwarted” in Paragraph 2
____________________________________________________
69. Why did the young guy call the author and his brother “a breath of fresh air”
____________________________________________________
70. Why did the author admire his brother after the incident

Punishing children
Punishing children is a controversial topic. Everybody has different opinions about how to act to correct a child's behavior. Parents. Teachers, doctors, and specialists like psychologists, have disagreements about whether it is good for a child's education to punish him.
The word "punish" means different things to different people. Punishment can be physical or emotional. Physical punishment is when the parent hit, slaps or spanks the child.
On the other hand, emotional punishment is when the parent, in order to educate the child, doesn't let him watch TV, go to play with his friends, or do things like that. The parents doesn't teach him, but still he punishes the child.
Although many surveys and studies have been made about what the correct way is to raise a child. nobody has the answer or the truth. I think it will be very difficult to find the answer or get people to agree.
I think parents should love their child and give him the best education, but at the same time, they should punish the child if he deserves it. I think if you love your child, you should be rational when you apply the punishment. It should be reasonable but strict.
The parent's goal is to have in the future a good man or woman in society, so sometimes you should do what is necessary to get your child to behave well.

六、概要写作范文
People hold mixed views on punishing kids. Punishment falls into physical and emotional types. Researches fail to reach a unified standard of proper parenting. The writer holds that proper, reasonable and strict punishment is acceptable if kids misbehave, as parents aim to shape kids into well-behaved adults.
七、书面表达范文
Dear Jim,
Glad to receive your letter asking about our school’s handcraft courses. My favorite is paper-cutting, a classic Chinese folk craft.
We need red paper and scissors. We fold paper repeatedly and cut delicate patterns on it. Dating back to the Han Dynasty, it symbolizes good luck and happiness. People stick cuttings on windows during festivals to express best wishes.
Hope you can experience it one day!
Yours,
Li Hua
