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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Someone sent me an email urging me to acquire a lot more resources, suggesting that I could do so much more good if I had an 8 or 9 figure net income (净收入) instead of 6 like I’ve been doing for years. He claimed to have acquired a great deal of wealth himself and found it highly beneficial to fueling his path with a heart.
As I consider his suggestion, I find myself not having much clarity (清晰的思维) as to what I’d
do with 1 million or 10 million more money flowing through my life. I put so much attention on creativity, fulfillment, exploration, relationships, etc. that I find it difficult to intelligently imagine how more financial resources could provide extra fuel for that, except in small ways or in ways that aren’t particularly meaningful to me.
Lately I’ve been considering what it would be like to deliberately reduce my income for a while and see if I could live on much less, just for the experience. What if I capped my net personal income at $10,000 per year, for instance? That isn’t such a big deal to me, though, since I already went through a period of low income like that during the 1990s, and I learned that I could still do what I love regardless of income.
I’ve never worked in a business environment — the only job I’ve ever had was working for $ 6/hour in a video game store while I was in college. So I’ve never seen how larger operations allocate resources. That’s probably why I haven’t pushed myself to acquire more. As I mentioned in my book Money and Your Path With a Heart, my main financial goal in life was to make money irrelevant in my life.
I’m not interested in building an empire. What interests me is exploring personal growth and sharing what I learn along the way. In some ways I feel that acquiring and allocating more resources could become a big distraction. I’m already doing what I want to be doing, so why risk distracting myself to acquire more resources, especially when I lack the idea about how I should treat such resources? I like having freedom and flexibility, and I don’t really see how more resources would meaningfully improve that.
21. Why did the man email the author?
A. To ask the author to fuel his path. B. To lend some money to the author.
C. To share his opinion about wealth. D. To urge the author to earn more money.
22. Which of the following can describe the author’s personality?
A. Optimistic and devoted. B. Independent and cooperative.
C. Unfortunate but positive. D. Wealthy but hardhearted.
23. What does the underlined word “capped” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Increased B. Spent C. Limited D. Distributed
24. The following are true EXCEPT ________.
A. the author might be a professional writer
B. the author is good at designing video games
C. the author is interested in exploring his personal growth
D. the author might be a person who likes sharing his knowledge
B
If you’re secretly worried about your smartphone addiction, then the new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. It’s the perfect smartphone comfort — it looks and feels exactly like a smartphone, but it does nothing. It’s just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.
NoPhone is currently a prototype (模型) that will cost merely $12 once it hits the market. Its makers are trying to raise $30,000 in order to cover production and marketing costs. They describe the device as a “technology-free alternative to constant hand-to-phone contact that allows you to stay connected with the real world”.
Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen, who helped create the NoPhone, said that he regarded the idea as a joke along with his friends Van Gould and Ben Langveld. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhones of their own. So that’s when the three friends decided to turn to Kickstarter to fund for mass production.
The NoPhone is 5.5 inches high, 2.6 inches wide and 0.29 inches thick, bringing it quite close
to the latest smartphone on the market. The Kickstarter slogan is quite amusing to read. They’ve mentioned things like “battery free”, “no upgrades necessary”, and “waterproof”. Their FAQs address the most important question: “Is this a joke?”, to which their answer is, “No.”
“Phone addiction is real,” they insist. “And it’s everywhere. It's ruining your dates. It’s distracting you at concerts. It’s disrupting you in cinemas. Now, there is a real solution.” “With a thin, light and completely wireless design, the NoPhone acts as a substitute to any smart mobile device, enabling you to always have a rectangle of smooth, cold plastic to hold without giving up any potential engagement with your direct environment. Never again experience the unsettling feeling when closing your hand.”
If your’re interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to take selfies(自拍) anymore, don’t worry. The makers do have an upgrade at no extra charge — the mirror sticker. That way, they say, you can enjoy “real-time” selfies with your friends when they’re standing right behind you.
25. From the second paragraph, we can infer that .
A. NoPhone is a little more expensive than an ordinary smartphone
B. the makers want to raise money to improve their technology
C. NoPhone has not been on the market at present
D. the users of NoPhones can stay away from the real world
26. With NoPhone in your hand, you .
A. don't need to use other phones when talking to others
B. will no longer feel upset when you are closing your hand
C. will give up any potential engagement with your direct environment
D. can take photos of yourself wherever you are
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A new kind of smartphone called NoPhone which needs no battery.
B. The popularity of the latest smartphones on the market.
C. The general introduction of the most popular smartphones in the world.
D. A will-be popular phone-shaped device which can cure smartphone addiction.
C
For years, there has been a prejudice against science among clinical psychologists (临床心理学家). In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists charge that many clinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments which are given the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”
The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments—the tools of psychology—bring more lasting benefits than drugs.
You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.
Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker from the University of Wisconsin, clinical
psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists remember these successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”
When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice(诊所) found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path despite the fact that insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”
28. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because ________.
A. they are unfamiliar with their patients B. they believe in science and evidence
C. they rely on their personal experiences D. they depend on their colleagues’ help
29. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _______.
A. the cruel judgment by Walter Mischel
B. the great progress that has been made in psychological research
C. the fact that most patients get better after being treated
D. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments
30. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged that their treatments are not supported by science?
A. They feel embarrassed. B. They doubt their treatments.
C. They are disappointed. D. They try to defend themselves.
31. According to the passage, what is Mischel’s attitude towards psychology?
A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
D
Public transport is declining in the rich world. To those who have to squeeze onto the number 25 bus in London, or the A train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. But public transport is becoming less busy in those places, and passenger numbers are flat or falling in almost every American city. That is despite healthy growth in urban populations and employment.
Although transport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being outcompeted. App-based taxi services like Uber and Lyft are more comfortable and convenient than trains or buses. Cycling is nicer than it was, and rental bikes are more widely available. Cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run. Online shopping, home working and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether.
The competition is only likely to grow. More than one laboratory is developing new transport technologies and applications. Silicon Valley invented Uber and, more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters(滑板车) and then abandon them on the pavement. China created sharing-bicycles and battery-powered “e-bikes”, both of which are spreading.
Transport agencies should accept the upstarts, and copy them. Cities tend either to ignore app-based services or to try to push them off the streets. That is understandable, given the rules-are-for-losers attitude of firms like Uber. But it is an error.
It is doubtful that most people make hard distinctions between public and private transport. They just want to get somewhere, and there is a cost in time, money and comfort. An ideal system
would let them move across a city for a single payment, transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed. Building a platform to allow that is hard, and requires much sweet-talking of traditional networks as well as technology firms. It is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.
32. What is the change in public transport in big cities?
A. It is becoming busier.
B. It is getting less popular.
C. There are fewer traffic delays.
D. There is more new transport.
33. In the author’s opinion, the reason for the decline of public transport is that ____________.
A. there are roadworks and broken signals
B. people are becoming healthier and employed
C. cars and bikes are more and more available
D. transport agencies are seemingly less competitive
34. How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples B. By providing research results
C. By stating arguments D. By comparing different approaches
35. According to the text, the key to keeping cities moving is ____________.
A. to develop an ideal system that satisfies everyone
B. to build a platform that appeals to public transport
C. to provide people with more means of transportation
D. to cater for both traditional networks and technology firms
第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.
___36___ Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way.___ 37___ Maybe a kid in the neighborhood wanted you to steal with him.
Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group.___ 38___ The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.
Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/his mind from what she/he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer --- just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer!___ 39___
___40___ Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.

B. Peer pressure is the direct influence on people by peers.
C. Good peers may give you a hand when you are in trouble.

I had just arrived in this Asian country for a one-year teaching position. One day, I took the subway to visit some ancient palaces and temples in the downtown. The following account of what happened to me has taught me much about culture 41 .
Since all the 42 were taken, I stood. Suddenly, I felt someone touching my bag. 43 I probably was in someone’s way, I moved over slightly. But in one quick motion, I felt my bag removed from my back, and in a flash it was 44 . I turned around to see who the thief was. I looked at the people standing behind me, but didn’t see my bag or anyone 45 . My heart sank and I began to 46 .
I glanced around the car only to find directly across from me was an elderly lady, and sitting on her lap was my 47 . I tried to get it back from hers. But as I began to 48 it up, she quickly seized it back and held onto it. I looked around at the people standing beside me, but no one took any 49 of the situation. Trying not to cause a/an 50 , I tried to negotiate through gestures. I used my hands as best as I could, but she 51 my requests for my bag and pointed to my back. She picked up my bag, showing how 52 it was. I finally began to understand. She was holding my bag to 53 me.
At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag, 54 it on her lap. They didn’t talk; 55 this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger’s bag on her lap throughout her journey.
As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready to get off, the woman 56 handed me back my bag. But 57 I had a chance to thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.
Sadly, this custom was more 58 to me than if I had been robbed. Everyone back home had heard of being robbed -- that was 59 city behavior -- but having a stranger hold onto someone’s bag out of 60 , in a city of twelve million people -- that was truly unusual.

Recently there was an organize activity with the theme of ‘Human Activities and Wildlife Protection’ in the science museum. I participated in it with some of my classmates in this afternoon. From the activity, I learned that at present the environment is being destroyed because of people’s harmful activities, it causes a decrease of wildlife. Beside, many people hunt wild animals for their meat and sometime, for money. To make matters bad, in response, the decrease is doing harm to people’s life. So there is necessary to take effective measures to protect our environment, such as creating wildlife reserves and passing law to raise the awareness of wildlife protection. Wild animals are friends of our human beings. To protect them is protect ourselves. All in all, I benefit a lot from today’s activity.

Dear Anne,
I am indeed very sorry that I didn’t attend your birthday party the day before yesterday. I feel awful about it and want to apologize to you.
It was nice of you to invite me to your birthday party. I should have come and celebrated the precious moment with you. But the mid-term examination is around the corner. I was so busy preparing for the exam that I forgot the appointment. I hope you can understand my situation and forgive me. Is it possible for you and me to have a private meeting after the examination? I do long for a pleasant chat with you.
It is much to my regret that I missed the chance of such a happy get-together. Once again, please accept my sincere apology.
Your truly, Li Hu
