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 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答
题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A popular TV host has reportedly invested about US$ 740,000 in a project to
research, preserve and promote the Hunan provincial dialect ( 方 言 ). Chinese TV
presenters are required to speak Mandarin, or Putonghua, as part of their work, but
should dialects be allowed on air?
Bcnu (China): TV and radio stations have the right to decide whether dialects or
Mandarin will be used in their programs. The popularity of some dialects in some areas
will not challenge the leading role of Mandarin in the whole country.
Rick N (US): TV and radio broadcasters should take the lead in popularizing
Mandarin. To require hosts to speak standard Mandarin is not to oppress (压制) dialects,
but it only aims to restrict irresponsible use of language. I think it is unprofessional for
some hosts particularly to imitate the pronunciation of dialects.
Cooper (UK): Dialects are an important part of local culture and now many kids
even don’t know how to speak their dialects because of the main use of Mandarin
around them. It would be a pity if future generations were unable to understand the
local dialects. It would be a terrible break in cultural traditions.
Steve (France): To attract viewers or make more money, some hosts casually use
dialects. Demanding TV and radio programs use Mandarin is a move to limit strange
and irresponsible use of language, whether it is Mandarin or other dialects. In this way,
the decision is also a form of protection for dialects. Hearing standard Mandarin on TV
and radio programs is also a basic right of audiences around the country. 4 / 12
21.Why does the author mention a popular TV host?
A. To make clear the author’s viewpoint.
B. To introduce the topic to be discussed.
C. To set an example for people to follow.
D. To show dialects are likely to disappear.
22. What affects dialects negatively according to Steve?
A. Mass media’s using dialects casually.
B. Improper pronunciation of dialects.
C. Restrictions on speaking dialects publicly.
D. Children’s losing interest in dialects.
23. Who favors dialects on air?
A. Bcnu and Steve. B. Bcnu and Cooper.
C. Rick N and Steve. D. Rick N and Cooper.
B
A DREAM, for me, is like a torch to light up my insipid (平淡的) life and a pair
of wings to fly me into the sky. The uncertainty of my future and the heavy burden of
schoolwork had driven me into a negative situation and not until I had a dream did I
get out there. I decided to become a hostess.
It was last summer. I went to Jinan, which is famous for its natural springs, and
started to learn broadcast hosting. However, I found that it was not easy.
The weather was bad. It was too hot to stay calm, which made me homesick. I
called my parents at least five times a day. But as I tried my best to adapt to the weather
and living conditions there, I became more independent.
Another thing bothered me, too. My teacher criticized all my mistakes. Grievance
(委屈) and exhaustion often reduced me to tears and sweat flowed down my cheeks.
To get her recognition, I practiced my voice skills in a park every day, even on rainy
days. You can’t imagine how happy I was when she praised me for the first time.
My dream enabled me to change a lot. Without my dream, I wouldn’t have had
the courage and the confidence to host the New Year party at our school. On stage, I
knew that it was a good beginning to my hosting dream.
I took the arts examination in the winter. To my delight, I did well. And I was
more than excited when I received the offers from Shandong Normal University,
Yunnan Normal University and Yunnan Art Institute.
My dream has powered so much energy in me that my life has become colorful
every day. So, however hard it will be to stick to my dream, no way will I give it up!
24. Why did the author feel her life was insipid in the beginning?
A. Because she desired a better future.
B. Because she was scared of pressure.
C. Because she felt that life was dull.
D. Because she had no goal.
25. How did the writer overcome the difficulties she met in Jinan?
A. By calling her parents often. 5 / 12
B. By practicing her voice in a park every day.
C. With her persistence and adaptability.
D. With her courage and confidence.
26. What does the underlined “it” in the 5th paragraph refer to?
A. Her courage and the confidence to host the party.
B. Her getting the teacher’s praise for the first time.
C. Her becoming more independent.
D. Her doing well in the arts examination.
27. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Dreams are difficult to develop.
B. How to achieve your dream.
C. Realizing Your Dream Is Not Easy.
D. A Dream will light your approach to success.
C
Imagine being a business that regularly takes huge quantities of your own products
worth millions of pounds and burns them up. Your stock literally goes up in smoke. It
sounds crazy, but the practice is common for some of the world’s biggest clothing
manufacturers. They argue that it is the most cost-effective way of maintaining their
brand’s exclusivity（独特性）.
The clothes that are burned are those that do not sell at a high enough price. Rather
than watch them go on sale, the companies would set fire to them and regain a small
amount of energy.
Nobody knows exactly how much unsold stock is burnt annually by those fashion
houses, but burning clothes has various negative impacts on the environment. For
example, burning clothes made from artificial fibers may release plastic microfibers
into the atmosphere, which worsens global warming. A U.K. parliamentary committee
report on sustainability and the fashion industry advises the government to ban the
burning of unsold stock if it can be reused or recycled.
Actually, there are other approaches. What if those companies had a section tasked
with taking back unsold clothes, redesigning them into new products, and shipping out
the new products to the market once again?
There is also now an opportunity to focus on biodegradable (可生物降解的)
fabrics. Clothes that break down faster might not have to be burned. They would also
appeal to those who care about the environmental impact of their own wardrobes.
Additionally, we have an over-production problem. According to the World Bank,
while clothing sales have risen steadily since 2000, clothing utilization has fallen at
roughly the same rate. For every extra T-shirt that is sold, it will be worn roughly half
as much as it would have been 20 years ago. That means better forecasting market 6 / 12
trends would in theory result in less waste.
Burning clothes won’t happen simply through fashion firms. The scale of fashion
production has to change. And it’s important to recognize that these consumer-focused
brands will only go where the market takes them. If protecting the environment really
matters to the public, they have to make clear that they want more sustainable clothing
in the first place. Without consumers demanding that, it won’t change.
28. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about___________.
A. how important the U.K. parliamentary committee report is
B. why fashion firms should end burning unsold stock
C. why fashion firms burn unsold clothes in large numbers every year
D. how artificial fabrics will contribute to global warming
29. The underlined expression “clothing utilization” in the 6th paragraph means _____.
A. how long clothing lasts B. how well clothing sells
C. how often clothing is used D. how clothing is designed
30.All the following possible solutions are mentioned in the passage to deal with
unsold clothes except______
A. Making consumers feel better about their purchases.
B Redesigning and making them into new clothes..
C. Conducting research on market demand before production.
D. Making clothes out of environmentally-friendly materials.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Burning clothes is a better option for every fashion firm.
B. Consumers play a key role in stopping burning clothes.
C. The secret that some fashion firms burn clothes is well kept.
D. Today’s clothes are better than those two decades ago.
D
Self-driving cars have been backed by the hope that they will save lives by getting
involved in fewer crashes with fewer injuries and deaths than human-driven cars. But
so far, most comparisons between human drivers and automated vehicles have been
unfair.
Crash statistics for human-driven cars are gathered from all sorts of driving
situations, and on all types of roads. However, most of the data on self-driving cars'
safety have been recorded often in good weather and on highways, where the most
important tasks are staying in the car's own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle
ahead. Automated cars are good at those tasks, but so are humans.
It is true that self-driving cars don't get tired, angry, frustrated or drunk .But neither
can they yet react to uncertain situations with the same skill or anticipation of an
attentive human driver. Nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential dangers.
They largely drive from moment to moment, rather than think ahead to possible events
literally down the road.
To a self-driving car, a bus full of people might appear quite similar to an
uninhabited corn field. Indeed, deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult
for humans, but drivers have sacrificed themselves for the greater good of others. An
automated system’s limited understanding of the world means it will almost never 7 / 12
evaluate （评估）a situation the same way a human would. And machines can't be
programmed in advance to handle every imaginable set of events.
Some people may argue that the promise of simply reducing the number of injuries
and deaths is enough to support driverless cars. But experience from aviation（航空）
shows that as new automated systems are introduced, there is often an increase in the
rate of disasters.
Therefore, comparisons between humans and automated vehicles have to be
performed carefully. To fairly evaluate driverless cars on how well they fulfill their
promise of improved safety, it's important to ensure the data being presented actually
provide a true comparison. After all, choosing to replace humans with automation has
more effects than simply a one-for-one exchange.
32. What makes the comparison between self-driving cars and human-driven cars unfair?
A. Self-driving cars never get tired. B. Machines can make decisions faster.
C. Self-driving cars know the world better. D. Statistics are collected differently.
33. In which aspect can self-driving cars beat human-driven cars?
A. Climbing steep slopes. B. Driving steadily.
C. Evaluating the cost of loss. D. Making complex decisions.
34. Why does the author write this text?
A. To support human-driven cars.
B. To show his doubt about self-driving cars.
C. To call for exact evaluation of self-driving cars.
D. To stress the importance of reducing car accidents.
35. What is the text type of the passage?
A. A narrative B. A description C. An argument D. An exposition
