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。
A
Having a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person
who loves reading. It may be got from your father or your father’s father, and it can just impress
people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.
From my point of view, reading is very important in our daily life. For example, reading is a
way of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination, and it makes
things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the
possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field. You can express your
opinions about a political event because you have read something about that.
Secondly, reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can imagine
what life will be like in the future. Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the
stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve the problems and tell us what to do in
certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow
different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do.
In short, I would like to say that literature is the perfect way of enriching our culture,
expressing correctly, having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be a learned person.
21．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A．Reading a lot is good for writing
B．Reading can help us gain knowledge
C．Reading can help us have a great imagination
D．Reading helps us enter the field of politics easily
22．We can learn from the third paragraph that ____ .
A．people in stories are always unbelievable
B．books may help us solve problems
C．writers are good at dealing with problems in life
D．writers often have different experiences in life
23．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Why Is Reading Important in Our Life
B．How Can We Become a Learned Person
C．Different Reading, Different Functions
D．Having a Good Collection of Books Means a Lot
B
One of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in
accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don't like, we wish it could be different. We cry out for something
better. That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture.
The root of the unhappiness isn't necessarily that we want things to be different. However, it's that
we decided we didn't like it in the first place. We've judged it as bad, rather than saying, “It's not bad
or good, and it just is it. ”
In one of my books, I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go
differently than you planned”. Some readers said it’s too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.
However, it's only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad. Instead, you could accept it
as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.
This can be applied to whatever you do: how other people act at work, how politics works and
how depressing the news media can be. Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they're that way. It will save you a lot of sadness, because you'll no longer say, “Oh. I wish bad
things didn't happen!”
Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But change things not because you can't
accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of changing, learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place? You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things to
help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world. That's the correct path you
choose to take, because you enjoy that path. Therefore, when you find yourself judging and wishing
for difference, try a different approach：accept, and understand. It might lead to some interesting
results.
24．The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because ___________.
A．it is our natural emotion in the life
B．culture asks us to be different from others
C．everyone has their own opinions on things
D．we dislike something in the beginning
25．What does the underlined word "it" In Paragraph 4 refers to?
A．Acting well at work and in politics.
B．Feeling depressed for the news media.
C．Accepting and understanding what has happened.
D．Saying something negative when bad things come.
26．What are you advised according to the last paragraph?
A．Help others and make a difference
B．Enjoy what you have to do in the work
C．Judge yourself and make a wish for you
D．Try a new way when making the world better
27．What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Accepting can make our life happier and better.
B．Expecting things to be different gives us hope.
C．Traditional culture becomes root of unhappiness.
D．Judging good or bad is important for our world.
C The results from the world’s largest sleep study have shown that people who sleep on
average between 7 to 8 hours per night perform better cognitively (认知地) than those who sleep
less or more than this amount.
The world’s largest sleep study was launched in June 2018 and within days more than 40,000
people from the world participated in the online scientific investigation, which included an in-depth
questionnaire and a series of cognitive performance activities.
“We really wanted to capture the sleeping habits of people around the entire globe. Obviously,
there have been many smaller sleep studies of people in laboratories but we wanted to find out what
sleep is like in the real world,” says Adrian Owen, western’s researcher in Cognitive Neuroscience
and Imaging. “People who logged in gave us a lot of information about themselves. We had a fairly
extensive questionnaire and they told us things like which medications they were on, where they
were in the world and what kind of education they’d received because these are all factors that might
have contributed to some of the results.”
More than half of all participants reported typically sleeping less than 6.3 hours per night, about
an hour less than the study’s recommended amount. One shocking truth was that most participants
who slept four hours or less performed as if they were almost nine years older.
Another surprising discovery was that sleep affected all adults equally. The amount of sleep
associated with highly functional cognitive behavior was the same for everyone, regardless of age.
Also, the harm associated with too little, or too much sleep did not depend on the age of the
participants.
“We found that the best amount of sleep to keep your brain performing its best is 7 to 8 hours
every night. We also found that people that slept more than that amount were equally harmed as
those who slept too little,” says Conor Wild, Owen Lab Research Associate and the study’s lead
author.
28．Where did the study take place?
A．In a lab. B．In the street.
C．On TV. D．On the Internet.
29．What may affect the result of the study according to Owen?
A．Career. B．Diet.
C．Education. D．Exercise.30．What’s Wild’s view?
A．Sleeping too much is as bad as sleeping too little.
B．People must sleep for eight hours every night.
C．Sleeping too little can make people look older.
D．People needn’t pay attention to the amount of sleep.
31．What can we learn from the text?
A．Owen and Wild are the first to study sleep.
B．Lack of enough sleep is a common problem.
C．All the people in the world show interest in the study.
D．There is no effective way to solve the sleep problem.
D
Schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active. Some are
replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary
School in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed
bikes while reading.
‘Read and Ride5 is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea
while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince
students to become more active, he placed one in the comer of his classroom and encouraged them to
use it during independent reading classes.
It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to
the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can
be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.
Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable
pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to
release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities.
Most importantly, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride
was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated
an astonishing 83% reading proficiency. Those that had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes
tested at a much lower, 41%.
Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like Read and Ride, experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because
studies have shown that physical activity stimulates (刺激) brain cells and helps prepare it for
learning. As word of the difference made by this easy to execute exercise program spreads, don’t be
surprised to find schools across the country adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.
32．What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?
A．Kids ride bikes as they read.
B．Kids excise balls and read at the gym.
C．Kids sit at desks for long while reading,
D．Kids do outdoor activities during lessons.
33．How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?
A．They exercise with high pressure.
B．They feel reading fun and learn better.
C．They improve their sense of competition.
D．They are instructed to read at the same pace.
34．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．The program will be more and more popular.
B．Schools doubt whether the program is available.
C．Physical activities prevent kids from learning more.
D．The school achievement depends wholly on the program.
35．What would be the best title of the passage?
A．Standing desks help school kids focus on their studies.
B．Traditional teaching should be banned in the near future.
C．‘Read And Ride’ aims to make students healthier and smarter.
D．Kids need to release energy during independent reading classes.
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。
Over time, habits of negative thinking about ourselves can lower self-esteem (自尊). So if
you want to feel better about yourself, try some of these things:
36． Are you so used to focusing on your problems that they’re all you see? Next time you find yourself trapped in problems or disappointment with yourself or your day, find something positive to
deal with it. Each day, write down three good things about yourself, or three things that went
smoothly that day because of your action or effort.
Aim for effort rather than perfection. Some people get held back by their own pressure to be
perfect. They lose out because they don’t try. Usually, you may think, “I won’t audition (试镜) for
the play because I probably won’t get the lead.”37．
Remind yourself that everyone is good at different things.38． Thinking more like this: “She’s a
great basketball player — but the truth is, I’m a better musician than athlete. Still, I’ll keep playing
because I enjoy it.” It helps you accept yourself and make the best of the situation.
39． Don’t be afraid to voice them. If someone disagrees, it’s not a judgment on your worth or
your intelligence. That person just sees things differently from you.
Set goals.40． Then make a plan for how to do it. Stick with your plan, and keep track of your
progress.
A．Focus on what goes well for you.
B．Take pride in your opinions and ideas.
C．Think about what you’d like to achieve.
D．It’s certain that the role will go to someone else.
E. Recognize what you can change and what you can’t.
F. Train your inner voice to remind you of what you are accomplishing.
G. Cheer on others for their success and keep in mind what you do well.

True leadership is not just the ability to identify the talent and skill of the polished
individuals around you. It involves being able to dig beneath the surface and discover 41 ．
Once there was a boy who constantly sat and talked in his math class，and seemed 42 in
group activities. Most teachers would 43 think of him as a problem student.
However，Anna was different. She believed the student was above 44 in other areas so she
created a strategy to find out.Anna didn’t’t 45 the parents. Instead she organized a handful of activities in the class to
get more information. In place of calling out for volunteers in class she created a 46 for each
Friday：Girls vs. Boys.
The first week the class was totally 47 ．Everyone wanted to win. Even the boy had his hand
up the whole time trying to get a turn. 48 ，Anna waited，and waited，and waited. Finally the
49 teacher paired the boy with the most 50 girl student in class.
Now the two teams had a 51 score，all the students sat back eager to see the result. As the
teacher placed the question on the board，most of the students began to 52 their heads：this was
a question they had never 53 in class.
“ 54 ！” the teacher yelled. Both students started doing it 55 thinking of how to solve
the complex question. Their classmates，full of 56 ，exclaimed，“Hurry，hurry，hurry！” The
boy finished it just seconds before the girl and spun around with his 57 raised，“I won！” Almost
nobody could believe the student they admired failed until Anna 58 the result.
This was what Anna tried to get. It turned out that the student wasn’t bad，he was 59 ．So
we can see that 60 hidden abilities is not always easy but the end results can be magical. Try
your hand at this quality of leadership now and report your results.

Every student will be faced with the question when he passes the college entrance
examinations: Should we choose a good major or a good university first?
Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in.It will
also make it possible for them to take their favorite jobs in the future.However, those who think
differently believe that the environment is important to one’s development and that graduates from
leading universities are often more likely to find a good job.
In my opinion, the best choice is a good major at a good university.If we cannot obtain both, the first
thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a
certain field if we try our best.
