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。第 3 页 共 8 页
A
It was an old day when I set out for a run in Moab, Utah, with my dog, Taz. As an athlete I
often went for a run by myself. While running along a canyon (峡谷) road, I hit a piece of ice. I
slipped down the rock face and fell 60 feet into the canyon, landing on a ledge (岩脊). Taz found
his way to me, so I knew there must be a way out of the canyon, but I couldn’t stand, as I had
broken an important bone.
I shouted for help but then decided to move to the bottom of the canyon first. The ledge was
too dangerous to stay. It took me five hours to go a quarter of a mile. Eventually it got dark, and
I decided to stay where I was for the night, next to a puddle of water. All I had on me was a
water bottle and some chocolates. At night, I avoided sleeping for fear of dying of hypothermia
(低体温症). Taz stayed with me, providing some warmth. The next morning, I couldn’t move at
all. But I was sure somebody would hear me screaming for help. The second night in the canyon
seemed even colder. My feet were frostbitten (冻伤). On the third day, I accepted the fact that I
might die. I called Taz over and told him to go and get help.
Taz returned, alone. Then I heard an engine in the distance. I started shouting for help, and
then I saw a man walking towards me. It turned out that my neighbor noticed I hadn’t come
home, and Taz had found the rescue team. I was airlifted to hospital, where doctors found I was
seriously wounded, having lost half of my blood.
Five years on, I still think about the experience. I couldn’t run like I used to due to the
after-effects of the accident, and cold weather brings back bad memories, but I’m married with
two kids, and Taz is still alive. Realizing you have a second chance to live puts things into
perspective.
21. Why did the author try to move to the bottom of the canyon?
A. To reach a safe place. B. To climb back to the road.
C. To come across some helper. D. To avoid being attacked by wild animals.
22. What was the biggest challenge the author faced during the nights in the canyon?
A. Lack of food. B. Physical pain.
C. Fear of death. D. Low temperature.
23. What can we infer from the rescue?
A. Taz turned to the author’s neighbor for help.
B. The author stayed in the canyon for 3 nights.
C. The author didn’t hold out much hope of his dog.
D. The rescue team was required by the author's neighbor.
B
A new research, presented on Monday, suggests that parents who go down slides with their
kids are actually making slides even riskier for their little ones.
Led by Dr. Charles Jennissen, a professor at the University of Iowa, the research found that
placing children (especially infants and toddlers 蹒跚学步的小孩) on adult laps increases the
risk of injury to their lower legs, including broken bones.第 4 页 共 8 页
"I've seen a lot of these injuries all through my career, and I hadn't seen anybody talk about
this problem," says Jennissen.
So Jennissen and his colleagues found that about 350,000 children under the age of six were
injured on slides in the U.S. from 2002 to 2015. Injuries were most common among kids from
12-23 months of age, and the most common injury was lower leg fractures (骨折).
The researchers found that 94 percent of 600 cases include lower leg injuries. This is
important, because that's not how a kid falling off a slide alone would usually get hurt. The fact
that so many kids are getting lower leg injuries—and that those injuries seem to get less common
as kids get older—suggests something else is at play.
Jennissen thinks that when children are sliding alone, they aren’t going fast enough or
carrying enough body weight to hurt themselves. When they’re sitting on an adult’s lap and their
foot gets caught, they have the added momentum of an adult body.
"We think a lot of these lower extremity injuries are because they're on the lap," says
Jennissen. "We don't know that for sure, because no parents say that. But from my experience,
and the data that suggests it, we think almost all of these are kids are on the lap."
Jennissen isn’t arguing that you should never go down the slide with your kid—he agrees
that it’s fun and that he’s done it with his own kids—but he thinks adults should realize the risks.
24. What can we learn about the research from the passage?
A. Many parents are hurt when going down slides with their kids.
B. Dr. Charles Jennissen is the leader of the research team.
C. More and more adult laps are found hurt in the accidents.
D. Many people have discussed the possible reasons for the injuries.
25. The underlined phrase at play in Para.5 probably means _____.
A. taking effect B. paying attention C. making efforts D. solving problems
26. What is Jennissen’s attitude towards parents’ going down slides with kids?
A. He supports it. B. He is against it.
C. He is careful about it. D. He doesn’t care about it.
C
Walmart will soon use 360 robot cleaners across a few hundred of its stores. Using maps
input by human employees, the AI-powered cleaners will travel in the store with no difficulty,
sweeping the floor--just as human employees used to do.
Perhaps the most striking thing about these robot workers is how not-striking they are.
Sci-fi movies suggest a future full of human-like robots who appear with their horrible qualities.
Now the future is coming into view, and it looks like a giant lie. It's easy to imagine walking past
an Auto-C on a shopping trip without even noticing its presence.
AI has already started to become a part of our everyday life. In New Jersey this week,
dozens of workers were hospitalized after a robot at an Amazon fulfillment centre accidentally
broke a can and enveloped workers in eye-and-lung-damaging gas. Days earlier in California, an
auto-piloted Tesla drove a drunk, sleeping driver down a highway, which no doubt did some 第 5 页 共 8 页
potential risk to the other drivers on the road. Highway patrol officers figured out on the spot
how to stop the AI car.
Of course, industrial accidents and drunk drivers existed well before AI. Tools with the
power to release the burden of physical labor—horses, steam machines, self-driving cars—also
come with the power to injure. And the presence of AI-powered machines just steps away from
us is, for now, still a rare thing for most people.
But the nature of robots’ coming into our daily life lives will make it harder to
recognize—or object to—the bigger changes they bring later. Walmart insists that the robot
cleaners give employees more time for customer service and other tasks. Critics point out that
they could just as easily become an excuse to reduce staff and wages.
27. What is the difference between sci-fi movies and the reality?
A. Now the human-like robots is hard to recognize.
B. Now people don’t go to see the sci-fi movies.
C. Now the human-like robots can tell lies.
D. Now it is easy to ignore the robots.
28. Why were some workers in hospital in New Jersey?
A. They damaged the robot first.
B. The robot caused an accident on purpose.
C. The robot made a mistake by chance.
D. The robot driving them on the highway had an accident.
29. What is the attitude of the author to AI?
A. Supportive B. Objective C. Doubtful D. Indifferent
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Artificial intelligence is bringing great effect to our daily life.
B. Walmart will soon use 360 robot cleaners across its stores.
C. We should say no to artificial intelligence.
D. Artificial intelligence is dangerous to our life.

From time to time, even the most productive professionals procrastinate（拖延）. When
your tendency to procrastinate is starting to make your overall quality of work and life suffer,
31 . Here’s what Forbes Coaches Council members recommend doing to stop racing the clock.
32
When you don’t feel motivated, take the smallest step possible toward your goal. After
taking that step, you’re more likely to continue taking more steps toward that goal. Instead of
telling yourself to work out for an hour, say you’ll go for 10 minutes.
Give yourself a hard deadline, and then schedule it
The best way to overcome a natural tendency to procrastinate is to create a hard deadline 第 6 页 共 8 页
for yourself and then put it on the calendar. 33 . Then perform it the same way you would if
your boss were waiting for you to complete the task.
Understand the underlying reasons you’re procrastinating
34 . Notice your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and the situation when you feel like
procrastinating. Write these down. Often perfectionism, which we may experience as anxiety, is
caused by the tendency to put off action. Once you understand your pattern, you can be
responsible for yourself in a positive and self-compassionate (自我同情的) way.
Give yourself a reward for each task you complete
Make a list of things you need to do and do the one you don’t want to do
first. 35 (piece of candy, a few minutes on social media, etc.). Then do something on your
list that you want to do and continue making changes from there. This makes your tasks less
depressing.
A. Take the tiniest step possible
B. Identity a positive outcome from your action
C. Then give yourself a little reward for doing it
D. find a way to make overcoming procrastination interesting
E. it’s time to do a reality check and break yourself of the habit
F. Treat the deadline the same as if your boss created it
G. Become a detective or a scientist about your pattern of procrastinating

(Text2)
M: This photo was taken at Jane’s twenty-first party. That was a great party.
W: Oh, yes, it impressed me most. It’s a shame—nobody has such fun parties any more.
(Text3)
M: Do you have any plans for the holiday this year?
W: The children want to go cycling but their father wants to go windsurfing. And I’d like to go
walking. But we all want to go together so we’ve decided to let the children choose this year.
(Text4)
M: Can you tell me how much a ticket is for Saturday’s performance of Macbeth?
W: The front seats and the circle are the most expensive at £16.50. the middle seats cost £14.50
and the back three rows cost £12.50, but the view isn’t so good. All seats are £10 for students.
M: I’ll have one in the middle please. I’m not a student.
(Text5)
W: It’s a bit crowded, isn’t it…worse than a football match! Can you see well enough from
here?
M: It doesn’t matter—so long as I can hear and get down the important points of what the
teacher says.
W: I’m going to the library after this. I want to get this report finished so that I can go to the
cinema.
(Text6)
W: How was your holiday? No accidents this year, I hope.
M: Well, actually Molly hurt her finger playing tennis and had to have it X-rayed. Fortunately, it
wasn’t broken, but she had a bid bandage on it for the rest of the holiday. At least it wasn’t as
bad as last year when Tom fell off his bike and broke his arm.
W: You are really unlucky! The worst problem we’ve ever had on holiday is insect bites. There
are too many insects in the mountains.
M: Ah well, we still had a great time. That’s the main thing.
(Text7)
W: Larry, we have a new graphic designer starting next month and we’ll need to set her up with
a laptop and extra monitor. Can you place orders for those?
M: Sure. You know our supplier has raised their prices, right?
W: Really?
M: Right. Well, our budget per work is $ 1,000 maximum. So let’s order the system with the
largest screen that falls within that price.
M: OK. I’ll take a look at the process again and place the order.
(Text8)
W: Welcome back, Eric!第 10 页 共 8 页
M: Thanks, Wendy! Now that I’m back, I’m thinking of throwing a huge party for all our friends
on Saturday.
W: But I’m not sure that’s a good idea. I know all our friends will be busy.
M: Really?
W: Yes, Tom is going camping with his family and Jody is going to London in the morning for a
wedding.
M: What about Nick and Greg?
W: Nick bought a basketball ticket for a game that evening and Greg has an important football
match in the afternoon. His coach won’t let his miss it.
M: Don’t tell me Sam and Alan are busy, too!
W: San is playing with his band at a music concert. Alan has no plans but he injured his ankle
last week, so his father won’t let him go out.
M: I guess I should call everyone to see when they’ll be free.
W: OK.
(Text9)
W: Hello, how may I help you?
M: Oh, I’m ringing to see what flats you have for rent at the moment?
W: Right. What kind of flat are you looking for?
M: Well, it’s for myself and two friends. It has three bedrooms at least. Actually we’d rather
have a fourth room for stuff.
W: OK. Are you interested in any particular area?
M: Well, the city centre would be good for me and Chris, but we’d consider anything in the west
suburbs as well really---actually for Phil that’d be better. We aren’t interested in the north or the
east of the city.
W: Well, I’m afraid there are only two that might interest you. The first one is in Bridge Street
and very close to the bus station. It has got three bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a very big
living room. 450 pounds a month. But there isn’t a shower, and that location is likely to be
noisy.
M: What about the other one?
W; This one on Hills Avenue is very modern. It’s got four big bedrooms and a big living room.
It’s got good facilities, including your shower. It’s £800 a month.
M: But it sounds a lot more than we can afford.
W: Well, I can send you all the details and you can see whether these two are worth a visit.
M: Thanks.

Hello, everybody. I’m Karen. I’d like to tell you a bit about what it’s like to be a
professional photographer. Plenty of it is photographing weddings and it’s enjoyable. With
sports photography timing is all-important, and I’ve had a lot of success. I’m now doing more
work for advertising.第 11 页 共 8 页
As a photographer, you might expect that I spend most of my time out taking photos. Well,
I wish I did, but people don’t realize how many hours are spent on the PC selecting and
improving pictures. So I have an assistant who helps me arrange contracts and deal with
payments.
People often ask me what I enjoy most. Nothing beats seeing the smile on their face when
they see a picture they like. And that makes all those long journeys worth it, as I do have to get
my photos into the top magazines. That’d be brilliant.
Now I often get asked about the design of website for photographers. I think it’s important
to avoid making the screen look too busy with all your latest pictures in one place. Only
include as much information as you really need so people concentrate on the picture itself. For
young people, you should find out what people like and why. I think that can help you achieve
the right results.
