第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
A
Every November, Time magazine picks out what it calls “The 25 Best Inventions” of the year. Here, Teens has chosen some of the most interesting ones.
Ember Mug
It’s hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature, especially in winter. It’s too hot to drink at first, but before we know it, it gets too cold and loses all its taste. The perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds, which makes the Ember Mug a great invention. It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature, anywhere between 45℃ and 62℃, once you set it through a smartphone app.
Tasty One Top
TV cooking shows make cooking look so easy, but it’s almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook. However, the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help. Developed by Buzzfeed, the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app, which has more than 1,700 recipes and videos. You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do. For example, it’ll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients.
Jibo
Smart speakers from companies like Amazon and Xiaomi have added a lot of fun to our lives, but they’re still just faceless speakers. However, Jibo, developed by MIT professor Cynthia Breazeal, has brought smart technology to life. Said to be “the world’s first social robot for the home”, Jibo looks like a cartoon character. Inside its “head”, there are various sensors and cameras, which allow it to recognize faces and speech. It can also set alarms, remind you of important things, tell you the
weather and read news or messages from your friends and family.
21. How can Tasty One Top help people?
A. By offering different kinds of cooking apps. B. By offering people different recipes.
C. By saving energy while cooking. D. By teaching people how to cook.
22. What can Jibo probably be?
A. A cartoon character. B. A family assistant.
C. A faceless robot. D. A smart alarm.
23. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To advertise high-tech products. B. To encourage subscription to Time.
C. To tell about some “tasty” products. D. To introduce some new inventions.
B
The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place
Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “ diet ” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.
24. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.
A. diet products are misleading people.
B. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential.
C. people have difficulty in choosing diet products.
D. people are fed up with diet products.
25. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.
A. try out a variety of diet foods.
B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods.
C. pay attention to their own eating habits.
D. watch their weight rather than their diet.
26. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.
A. it costs a lot to lose weight. B. diet products bring no pain.
C. losing weight is effortless. D. diet products are free from calories.
27. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.
A. are over-consumed. B. lack basic nutrients.
C. are short of chemicals. D. provide too much energy.
C
She sat at the picnic table alone. Recess（休息）was in full swing. She remained awkward around her classmates. She seemed unsure of what to do or say, yet I could see her eyes longing for acceptance. Many students had already decided that her friendship would not be worth the energy required to overcome the awkwardness. Others teased her. Most ignored her—except for one.
Brianna, the class clown, was making the other students laugh, as usual. “Brianna, do you see Molly down there? Would you mind walking down there and inviting her to come up here with the rest of us?”
Brianna sighed. I could tell she didn’t want to sacrifice precious minutes of her own recess to do what I was asking of her, but I also knew her heart. She often thought of others before herself - a rare character for anyone, much less a kid.
Knowing this choice was hard for her, I pulled out a D-buck, our class currency. Though bribery（行贿）was not the ideal way to handle this situation, I needed her cooperation.
“Here, I’ll pay you for your time.”
She offered an insincere smile, grasped the green paper, and headed down the hill.
As the rest of the children screamed and laughed, my eyes locked on Brianna as she neared the picnic table. Molly could be difficult, and I wouldn’t have been surprised if she sent Brianna back alone, refusing her invitation. When she encouraged herself to a standing position, I sighed with relief.
A minute later, I felt a lap on my shoulder. “Here, Mrs. D.” She handed me the D-buck.
“Why?” I asked.
“I shouldn’t keep this.” Her eyes fell to her feet, guilt radiating from her quiet voice. “I don’t want Molly to think I only went to get her so I could earn a D-buck. She’s my friend.”
A moment later, they were all laughing again, and who should I see among them, laughing for the first time that week? Molly.
28. How was Molly in the author’s eyes?
A. She often made fun of others.
B. She was eager to be accepted.
C. She got on well with other kids.
D. She refused to make friends with others.
29. On what aspect was Brianna different from other kids?
A. Clown talent. B. Cooperation.
C. Honesty. D. Kindness.
30. How was the author feeling when Brianna walked to Molly?
A. Grateful. B. Regretful.
C. Worried. D. Puzzled.
31. Which of the following can be the best tittle for the text?
A. Power of a Smile B. A Strange Girl
C. A D-buck D. How to Be a Great Teacher
D
I was in the line at Dunkin Donuts. The couple in front of me had ordered their food and stepped to the side. I walked to order mine. Quick and simple. Then I noticed a young man. I could tell he was not having the best of luck and it showed on his face. He walked in carrying his belongings in a torn plastic bag. The couple ahead of me turned, looked, and then turned away. The lady grabbed her purse tighter and her husband quickly stood in front of her.
I moved over so he could order. He looked at the board, checked his pockets and didn’t seem to have enough for anything. So, he turned around and walked out. I picked up my coffee and followed him out. He had gone maybe five paces when I shouted, “Hey! Do you want a donut?” A little embarrassed, he said, “I don’t have any money. I told him to come on back in. As we approached the counter the couple who were still inside looked shocked and confused. We approached the cashier and I said, “What kind do you want?” He whispered, “Jelly.” I said, “Go ahead. Tell her what you want.”
“Jelly donut please,” he said. The cashier looked at me and said, “Is that it?” I looked at him. “Do you want anything else?” “Can I have a coffee?” he asked me. I said, “Yes. Tell her.” He did. The total came to $2. 30, which is small change compared to what the typical person spends in a day. But to him it made a great difference.
I walked out and the couple were outside talking. The lady whispered to me, “I am glad you did that—before he tried to rob the place for a donut.” I stopped, looked at her, and said, “Are you a Christian?” She said, “Of course!” I said, “Are you sure? Because aren’t Christians supposed to love their brothers and sisters and help them when they need it, and not judge?” She didn’t have a response.
32. Why did the couple get nervous immediately they saw the young man?
A. Because they thought the young man might be a dangerous person.
B. Because the young man looked like a murderer.
C. Because they had been robbed by the young man before.
D. Because the young man tried to rob them of their money.
33. The lady didn’t have a response in the end because _____.
A. she didn’t want to answer the author’s question
B. she thought the author’s question was not worth answering
C. she was ashamed for her not having helped the young man
D. she had to find out a perfect answer to the author’s question
34. We can infer from the passage that _____.
A. the author was the young man’s friend
B. the author must be a rich man
C. the author was always kind to anyone
D. the author might be a Christian
35. What can we learn from the passage?
A. As a Christian, he or she only has the duty to help other Christians.
B. Everyone, especially those Christians, should be ready to help other people.
C. All Christians should love their brothers and sisters and help them when they need it.
D. We should watch out for all strangers we meet because they might be dangerous.

Daily Habits of People Who Never Get Sick
Why do some people seem immune to colds and flu? 36
They press elevator buttons with their elbow
Everyday mistakes can raise your risk of catching a cold. A virus spreads to over 50 percent of surfaces when a single person in a place is infected. 37 Even after you wash your hands, use a towel to turn off the tap.
38
Your phone screen is dirtier than you thought, because it picks up germs from whatever surfaces you lay it down on throughout the day. Plus, your hands can transfer germs to your phone as well as other objects you touch regularly but probably don't clean, like your car keys or computer keyboard. You’d better use bleach-free disinfecting wipes（不含漂白剂的消毒湿巾）to clean objects and other surfaces at the place you often stay.
They get a flu shot
Out of the 12 things that need to be part of your DIY flu-fighting kit this winter, a flu shot is probably the most important. According to the CDC, the single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated（接种疫苗）every year. 39 The flu shot isn't perfect but it's your best bet.
They get together with friends
40 and sharing happy times with loved ones can also increase the likelihood you'll stay healthy, according to a research. The human body adapts to whatever environment you expose it to. When you expose the body to a positive environment, supportive friends and family, and work on stress relief with laughing therapy, the body experiences less stress and this has positive health benefits. Socializing can even help you live healthier and longer.
A. Follow these tips from real people, and you can learn how to avoid them too.
B. You can develop a positive attitude
C. Laughter really is the best medicine
D. They disinfect（消毒）their phones and car keys
E. Make sure you are up to date on all your vaccines
F. They stay away from their phones as possible as they can
