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 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该
项涂黑。
A
Recently one parent saw a 9-year-old girl at a playground in South Carolina by herself. When she
asked the girl where her parent was, the girl responded, “At work.” She immediately called the police.
Now the girl’s mom, who works at McDonald’s is arrested. Daughter, who was playing alone at the
playground, and had a cell phone in case of emergency, is now in foster care.
The mother, Debra Harrell, allowed her daughter to play at the park instead of her other option:
sitting at McDonald’s staring at a computer screen until her mom’s shift was over.
Was the girl in danger? That’s the complicated issue at the heart of this debate. Either way, she now
faces another danger: time in foster care, separated from her mother. And possibly economic trouble. Will
Harrell lose her job? Or ever dig out of the financial hole she’s certainly falling further into while she’s
prevented from working?
There are so many issues in this case and the many others like it. How is it that, in 2014, our society
doesn’t have a better safety net for working mothers? What choice did this mother have? Earning
minimum wage, doing shift work, during a time when school was not in session, her choices were likely
few.Incidents like this happen not because we’re more involved, but because we’re no longer a village.
Had this happened a generation ago, the other parents at the park would probably have known the child
or the child’s parents and casually kept an eye on her or even taken her back to their house for cookies.
We all need each other to step in when it’s necessary. But why did the mother who called the police
not just keep an eye on the 9-year-old while she was at the park? And did the girl’s mother actually
need to be arrested?
Sure, a 9-year-old might be a bit young to be going it alone in a public place. But does the
punishment fit the “crime” in this case? Are we simply doing more damage than good?
21. Why was the mother arrested by the police?
A. Because she allowed her daughter to play computer games at McDonald’s.
B.Because she didn’t watch over her daughter by herself.
C.Because she wasn’t aware that her daughter was playing at the park.
D. Because she sent her daughter to foster care.
22.What would happen if a child was seen playing alone a generation ago?.
A. Other parents would call the police.
B.Other parents would do nothing.
C.Other parents would help take care of the child.
D. Other parents would send the child to his/her own home.
23.What’s the author’s attitude towards the punishment to Harrell?
A.Favorable B.Neutral C.Disapproving D.indifferent
B
The vast jungles of the Amazon rainforest are home to tribes mostly isolated from the outside world,
whose way of life, largely unchanged for hundreds of years, is now increasingly threatened by modern
civilization．
Now, scientists discover they can monitor these“uncontacted tribes”using satellites, which would
allow inexpensive and safe tracking of these tribes in order to protect them from outside threats.
In order to help conserve these uncontacted Indians, researchers need accurate estimates of their populations. One way to collect this data involves flying over their villages, but such overflights are
both expensive and could fill these native peoples with fear. Another strategy involves meeting
individuals on the ground, but among other risks, scientists could accidentally spread disease to
members of the tribes. Instead, scientists investigated whether satellite imaging could monitor
uncontacted tribes. The result was inspiring. They confirmed their locations and measured the sizes of
their village, houses and gardens. “We can find isolated villages with remote sensing and study them
over time.”Walker told Live
Science. “We can ask：Are they growing?Do they move?”
Surprisingly, based on the sizes of the houses and villages, the scientists find the population densities
（密度）of these isolated villages are about 10 times greater, on average, than other villages of native
Brazilian peoples. This may be due to the fact that they have to live closer together because they are not
as good at clearing the forest, since they lack modern devices like chainsaws and tractors, the researchers
said. “The tribes may also be afraid of spreading out due to fear of being attacked by outsiders, ”Walker
said.
The researchers now plan to focus on 29 more isolated villages to“look at their ecology—that is,
distance from rivers and roads—and use this to model where else we can find more isolated
villages.”Walker said.
24.Scientists don't want to meet the Indians on the ground .
A. because they can’t get accurate data about their lifestyle.
B.because they’re afraid of being attacked by the Indians.
C.as they fear that they may transmit disease to the Indians.
D. since the search will cost a great deal of money.
25.According to the passage, which of the following about the Indian tribes is NOT true?
A. They lack modern tools to cut forests.
B.Their lifestyles remain unchanged.
C.They are eager to get in touch with the outside world.
D. They live together for defense.26.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. The Disappearance of the Ancient Amazon Tribes.
B.Research of Isolated Tribes with Modern Devices.
C.The Threatening of Modern Civilization to Tribes.
D.Discovery of Indian Tribes in Remote Mountains.
C
While the temptation to leave the dishes until the morning, piled high in your sink, is often hard to
ignore at the end of a stressful day, scientists now believe the daily chore could be good for your health
and well-being. A study has found that people who do the dishes mindfully, focusing on their actions
carefully, feel less stressed and nervous.
Scientists at Florida State University set out to discover if washing up could be used as an
informal contemplative( 沉 思 的 )practise to promote mindfulness and improve emotional
well-being. They expected to find that people receiving mindful dishwashing instruction would
evidence greater state of mindfulness, attention awareness and positive affect, as well as reduce
negative effect.
Mindfulness is described as being a state of active, open attention of the present time.When a person
achieves mindfulness they observe their thoughts and feelings from a distance without judging them as
good or bad. Instead of letting your life pass you by, the practise encourages a person to live in the
moment and relish their daily experiences.
To analyse the impact of washing the dishes, researchers at Florida State University recruited 51
students to engage in mindful dishwashing. They were divided into 2 groups. The first group reading a
230-word passage on the importance of the sensory experience of dishwashing performed mindful
dishwashing. The second group acted as controls, and read a similar-length passage about proper
dishwashing techniques. They were then asked to complete measures of mindfulness, effect and
experiential recall.
The first group were found to have achieved a greater state mindfulness, increases in elements of
positive effect- inspiration, decreases in nervousness and over-estimations of dishwashing time. Besides,
feelings of nervousness decreased by 27 percent in those who mindfully washed their dishes, while inspiration increased by 25 percent in the same group. Meanwhile there was no change among those in
the control group.
The researchers said their findings could have implications for other daily activities-mindfulness as
well as positive effect could be developed through intentionally engaging in a broad range of activities.
27.The underlined word“relish” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. enjoy B. perform C. release D.
repeat 28.What do we know about the first group?
A. They were required to read a passage about how to wash the dishes actively.
B. They were more motivated after they mindfully washed their dishes.
C. They often overestimated dishwashing time.
D. They read a passage about correct dishwashing skills.
29.From the research, we can conclude that .
A. Feelings of nervousness decreased by 27 percent in the control group.
B.The findings couldn’t be applied to other daily activities.
C.Students in the control group didn’t obtain much increase in inspiration.
D. Only the positive feelings could be changed by the experiment.
30. What message does the passage mainly convey?
A. Never leave the dishes to be done tomorrow.
B. Learn to live in the moment and cherish your life.
C. Routine chores reduce stress and improve well-being.
D. People can promote mindfulness through daily chores.

Successful
Here are some of the reasons why people who learn music are more likely to be successful in life.
They have confidence in their ability to be creative. As you learn a concept and apply it as you play,
there is a sense of satisfaction that it brings. This is what breeds confidence within you. 31 This then
leads to the enhancement of creativity.
32 In musical training, you need to dedicate your time to practice. The secret of every successful
musician is how much time he/she has given to master his/her piece. If a child is enrolled in musical
training, he or she will have a better understanding of the importance of time management. 33 This
is why a person who learns music also learns how to use his or her time perfectly.
They are more likely to have a higher IQ. Parents are encouraged to let their children take music
lessons during their early age because of its effect on IQ. A certain study was able to record the brain
development of children who were undergoing musical training and those who were not. 34 This is
because of the effect of the musical training on how the brain functions.
When it comes to language literacy and the ability to analyze, children who were able to have
musical training, perform better. 35
A.They have a better sense of rhythm.
B.They have better time management skills.
C.This will teach you confidence in doing tasks.
D.It has been noted that there is better brain activity on the former.
E.The first thing that every person will learn in music school is discipline.
F. The more you introduce new musical concepts to your brain, the more confident you are.
G.This is one thing that can help determine the success of the individual even after studying.

I stood before thirty pairs of eyes looking at me, and I got 49 . Was I in trouble? Did I do something
wrong? Then Mrs. Bush told the class how much she 50 all the work that went into the essay and
everyone had done a great job. But, she said, one student stood 51 as an excellent writer, one with
imagination, creativity, and word mastery. That student was me! The class clapped politely and Mrs.

your paper with the breathing of your heart. Please keep on writing and share your 53 of writing with
the world. I am proud of you and glad you are in my class.”
Mrs. Bush helped me feel a sense of 54 , a place of purpose, and a way to survive a transition in life.

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。
An old saying goes that a near neighbor is better than a distant cousin. This saying has fully
proved that neighbors are so significant in our life.
In the past, neighbors helped one another build houses and clear fields. They could offer timely
help when someone was in trouble. Families depended on one another for friendship and
entertainment. They shared happiness and sorrow from time to time, which brought a harmonious
atmosphere.However, nowadays, lack of communication and interaction between neighbors is a norm.
Close relationship between neighbors is not common in our cities. A family may not even know
the other families that live next door to them. We live in an age of machines and the Internet, and
each family have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. People no longer depend on
neighbors as much as they once did. Machines and the Internet keep people apart. In our
grandparents’ time, women met while they hung out the washing, and men stopped and talked
while they mowed their lawns. Today, they can’t hear anything above the noise of their power
lawn mowers. And women stay inside with their electrical dryers. Children are inside watching
their favorite TV shows or playing computer games.
Is the idea of being a good neighbor old-fashioned? In 1965, a power cut hit New York City,
and many thousands of people were left helpless. Suddenly everyone shared the same problem, and
the largest city became a group of eight million neighbors. People with cars offered rides to those
walking. Other people helped direct traffic. Trapped in elevators, people played word games and
helped keep each other in good spirit. In times of trouble, people still depend on one another. As
time goes on, people may once again feel that being a good neighbor is important.之江教育评价 2019 学年高三第二次联考(2019.10)

Dear Mr.Thomson,
I’m writing to apologize to you for not being able to attend your lecture tomorrow afternoon,
which is on the brief history of English literature.
Due to a sudden illness falling upon me a few days ago, I have been in hospital with a
continuous fever so far, which has prevented me from any activity. To be frank, I am keenly
interested in what you will talk about. Accordingly, I would really appreciate it if you could offer
me some relevant materials of the lecture.
I sincerely hope you can understand my situation and wish your lecture a great success.
Yours,
Li Hua

W: Are you busy this week, son?
M: Not particularly. I’m reviewing my lessons until Wednesday because I’ve got an exam, but that
only lasts until midday and then I’m free.
Text 2
M: Sue, how did you do?
W: The paper is tough. I hope Mr. Smith won’t fail me. M: Oh,
don’t worry. I’m sure it is not that bad.
W: I should have studied harder. Text 3
M: Many countries have high-speed rail transportation.
W: So has Japan. The trains move rapidly from one city to another, saving a lot oftime.
M: That’s true, but I’m afraid modern travel does not allow us to relax and enjoy the trip.
Text 4
W: I’m not keen on fried food myself. I’d rather have some vegetables and fruits. M: Yes. I
notice you always eat the greens, but meat has some special vitamins too. W: I know, but I must
watch my weight, you know.
M: I see, so you can’t have the taste of fried chicken. Text 5
M: Hello, Mary, this is John Smith from the bank. Is Paul there?
W: Not yet. He phoned me from the office 5 minutes ago to say that he was going to look for a
birthday present on his way home.
Text 6
M: Can you tell me how to reach the bank?
W: Which bank? There are two: the Allied Irish Bank and the Bank of Ireland. M: I have an
ATB pass card and I want to get some money from the bank.
W: You need to go to the Allied Bank which is near the local shopping center, Dunnes Stores.
M: How do I get there? I have no knowledge of this area.
W: Cross the road and turn left at the other side. Walk along the footpath until you reach the traffic
lights. You will see a shopping center on the right hand side. Walk across the road and turn right
after the shopping center. Keep going straight for about 100 meters and the bank is to your left.
M: It sounds a little bit so difficult. It’s about five minutes’ walk from here. I can draw a map for
you if you wish.
M: Oh, I would really appreciate that. Text

W: Wake up, Erik, time to rise and shine.
M: Ha, oh, hi, Jane, I must have fallen asleep while I was reading.
W: You and everyone else. It looks more like a campground than a library.
M: Well, the classroom’s too noisy to study in and I guess this place is too quiet. W: Have
you had any luck finding a topic for your paper?
M: No, Professor Grant told us to write about anything on Eastern culture. For once I wish she had
not given us so much of a choice.
W: Well, why not write about Chinese culture? You seem to be interested in that part of the world.
M: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I’ll be writing forever, and Professor Grant only
wants five to seven pages.
W: So then limit it to one place in China, say Beijing. You’ve been there and you said it’s got lots of
places of interest and you enjoyed your trip very much.
M: That’s not a bad idea. I brought many books and things back with me last summer. That would be
great resource material, now if I can remember only where I put them. Text 8
M: I’m sorry about the accident, Mrs. Norris.2 W: No one was hurt, thank goodness.

happed exactly? Tell me in your own words.
W: Well, I was driving along Jefferson Street. I wasn’t going fast at all. I saw this car. It was
backing out of the driveway. It was Mrs. Crouston. She didn’t stop at all. She backed right into me.
M: Very well. Now I need to look at your car. Where is it?
W: It’s at Fulton’s Garage. That’s on Jefferson and Vine Streets. I’ll go along with you.

W: Dr. Brown, you are working with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. Would you please
tell our listeners something about diseases recently spreading among animals?
M: Well animal diseases were reported recently in the Middle East, Africa and Europe. The UN
officials give two reasons for animal diseases spreading. One is the increased international trade in
animals and animal products. The other is the movement of people and animals from country to
country.
W: How can we prevent and treat animal diseases?
M: Well, no country can claim to be safe from animal diseases. Medical care of animals is very
important.
W: Do animal diseases kill human beings?
M: Yes. It was reported that Rift Valley Fever killed 30 people in Yemen last month. W: How
about the other animal diseases?
M: Earlier this year, Italy reported outbreaks of bluetongue. Last month, foot-and-mouth disease
was reported in South Africa. In just one month, 36,000 head of cattle were killed to control the
disease.

M: Welcome to Morning News. “Go to the playground and have fun,” parents will often say to their
kids. But they should remember playgrounds can be dangerous. Each year about 200,000 children
end up in hospital emergency rooms with playground injuries. Many injuries involve falls from too
high equipment on too hard surfaces. Nearly 70% of the injuries happen on public playgrounds.
Recent studies show they may be badly designed, their protective surfaces are inadequate, and their
equipment is poorly maintained. Parents should make sure that the equipment in the playground is
safe and the children are playing safely. Last year, the national program for playground safety gave
the nation’s playgrounds a grade of C for safety after visiting more than 3,000 playgrounds
nationwide. Parents should watch closely. Theyshould always be within shouting and running distance of their children. Young children don’t
understand cause and effect. So they may run in front of moving swings. They’re also better at
climbing up than at getting down. So they may panic at the top of a ladder. It’s important for
children to know you’re watching them. Once they feel that sense of security, that’s when they can
be creative.
