第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 （共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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
Maureen stood by the lake. Suddenly the other children came running through the trees with sharp cries of excitement. They rushed up to the lake, leaning over the clear water, watching the crowds of tiny fish. Some children demanded loudly to go to the boats, but all at once those who had been left behind at the ice-cream stall (小摊) came running up to make some announcement or other, and they all left the water and dashed back the way they had come. With growing excitement, Maureen ran after them.
When she saw what had been run for, she stopped running. They were buying things again. The toy stall was open and they were crowding around it. Behind the stall a middle-aged woman was selling a great variety of small rubbish. She took money from the forest of small hands in exchange for little boats, plastic dolls, yellow pencils and rubbers, or anything. Maureen leaned against a tree, looking on. The idea of spending washed against her face like a strong current, trying to draw her in.
Nona Parker pushed out to the edge of the group and laid what she had bought on the ground so that she could see what money she had left in her white purse. Under Maureen's eyes lay a boat, a mouth organ, and little plates of doll’s food in coloured plaster—a brown load of bread, a joint of beef, a pink pudding—all tiny and terribly desirable. Maureen was so full of the wish for the things like that that she couldn't bear to look at them. She turned her head sharply. Her face against the tree, she shut her eyes and prayed eagerly for some money, for the price of a set of toy plates.
In a moment, she opened her eyes, but she didn't turn back to the stall. It was too painful to see the others buying whatever they wanted. She rubbed almost round the tree, her eyes on the ground. And there under her feet was a ten-pence piece.
21. Why did children dash back on hearing some announcement?
A. To watch tiny fish.
B. To buy new toys.
C. To collect various rubbish.
D. To see a middle-aged woman.
22. Maureen stopped running after the other children because she _______.
A. was too shy to push her way in
B. thought the other children were rich
C. knew the stall was selling rubbish
D. couldn't afford to buy anything
23. Maureen's strong desire for the plates of doll’s food grew when _______.
A. she happened to see what Nona had bought
B. Nona checked her remaining money
C. she saw other children buying things freely
D. Nona was pushed to the edge of the group
24. Seeing the others buying so many wonderful things, Maureen felt _______.
A. thrilled B. helpless C. curious D. annoyed
B
Famous Irish poet Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) once wrote: “Ah! Realize your youth while you have it.” He pointed out the important truth about how precious youth is in one’s journey through life.
However, the popular Internet slang word foxi—or “Buddhist”—is challenging this norm by encouraging young people to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflict as much as possible—in other words, to live like a Buddha.
The phrase was reportedly created in Japan in 2014 to describe young men who no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone else’s life path. They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without being disturbed and care little about passion and success.
Now, Chinese Internet users are paring the phrase with other words to describe a similar mindset. For example, “Buddhist students” are those who study just the right amount—they don’t cut class, but they don’t burn the midnight oil, either. There are also “Buddhist parents”, who interfere (干涉) little with their children’s lives and let them develop however they like—the opposite of “helicopter parents”.
In this fast-changing and competitive world, it’s only natural that people are seeking a spiritual anchor (精神支柱).
However, some would compare foxi with “demotivational culture”—a phrase that describes young people without aim and power. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending to keep a healthy and wise attitude toward failure simply because they’re incapable of succeeding.
But no matter what, there is one thing that “Buddhist youngsters” should keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm mindset regarding failure, but you should also be passionate and positive about school, work and life.
After all, Wilde also wrote: “Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations (感觉). Be afraid of nothing.”
25. What is a Buddhist youngster unwilling to do?
A. Read books alone in a quiet place.
B. Complete assignments as instructed.
C. Get involved in a fierce competition.
D. Allow children to develop naturally.
26. What does the underlined word “demotivational” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Aimless and powerless. B. Hopeless and realistic.
C. Discouraged and fearlful. D. Intelligent and positive.
27. What’s the author’s attitude towards “Buddhist”?
A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Critical. D. Doubtful.
C
Whether or not your mouth is moving right now, you are talking to yourself. As you read these words, your facial muscles are having quick, invisible movements, sounding out the words so you can actually hear them in your head. This kind of speech is called "subvocalization", and unless you're a speed-reader who has trained yourself out of this habit, you're doing it every time you read or even imagine a word.
Now, MIT researchers want to use those subvocalization to know what's in your mind and translate it into digital orders, using a wearable smart headset called AlterEgo. The headset combines human and machine in some ways.
According to the MIT Media Lab, the device would allow users to send silent orders to the headset simply by thinking of a word. A neural (神经的) network would translate the muscle movements to speech and do the user's orders—totally hands-and-voice-free. Let's say you want to ask AlterEgo what time it is. First, you think the word "time". As you do, your facial muscles make micro-movements to sound out the word in your head. Electrodes(电极) on the headset record these movements and then send them to a computer. The neural network processes these signals the same way a speech-to-text program might, and responds by telling you the time.
In a small study, 10 volunteers read a list of numbers to themselves while wearing AlterEgo headsets. AlterEgo correctly got which numbers the participants were reading with an average accuracy of 92 percent. For comparison, Google's microphone-based speech-to-text translation service has an accuracy of about 95 percent.
“We basically can’t live without our digital devices,” said Pattie Maes, an MIT professor. "But at the moment, the use of those devices is causing some problems in our life. My students and I have been experimenting with new types of experience that enable people to still benefit from all the wonderful knowledge and services that these devices provide but do it in a way that lets them remain in the present.”
28. We can learn from the first paragraph that “ subvocalization” _______.
A. is less used in life now
B. is more effective than speed reading
C. refers to a silent way of reading something
D. means reading something in a detailed way
29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How AlterEgo works.
B. The production of AlterEgo.
C. The disadvantages of AlterEgo.
D How to wear AlterEgo correctly.
30. The test in Paragraph 4 suggests that AlterEgo _______.
A. has good working performance
B. has become a popular digital product
C. works better than Googles similar service
D. is unable to complete complex tasks at present

Plan ahead. There is no way to fully plan for the unexpected, but you can be prepared for it. _31 If traveling on public transportation, make sure you know the route and the stops.

Inform family/ friends of your travel plans. Make sure you have someone you can contact in case of emergency. If someone is meeting you at your destination, make sure they know exactly when your lane/ bus / train arrives.

第二节：概要写作（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15-year-olds around the world, Finland is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western countries?
Until the 1960s, most Finland’s most students left school after six years. In the middle of the 1960s, the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize their education system if they want to be internationally competitive. Lawmakers made a simple decision: a basic school for all the 7- to 16-year-olds. Compulsory (义务的) education begins at 7. The government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool as well.
Most of Finland’s schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to officials are trained teachers, not politicians like in other countries.
Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum (课程) and new projects. Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils. In contrast to other nations, Finland selects its teachers very carefully: only talented teachers go on to a university and receive a master’s degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth.
All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances in education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and the poor, as in America or other Western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate in the European Union.

Dear Richard,
I am your student in an international class in Hongqi middle school. I’m writing to extend my sincere apology for my careless mistake in my assignment.

Hope for your forgiveness.
Yours sincerely
