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
New York is an overwhelming city to visit with children. What follows is carefully collected advice from New Yorkers on how to cover the city right.
Tenement Museum
The Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side offers a fantastic glimpse into urban family life. Guided tours reveal the daily routines of generations of Irish, Jewish and Italian immigrants who made their mark then quickly moved up and out. Pick up a copy of “All-of-a-Kind Family”or a vintage toy in the museum shop, one of the city’s best.
MoMA Museum
MoMA Museum does an excellent job making modern and contemporary art
accessible to children as young as 4. On weekend mornings, guided tours are divided
into age-appropriate groups in which children can observe a number of works and
draw; later they gain free admittance to the entire museum. The cafeteria is both
grown-up and child-friendly, and there’s an art laboratory with hands-on activities[来源:Z*xx*k.Com]
and even an audio guide for young people.[来源:学科网]
Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum
The most significant in the museum is the Space Shuttle Pavilion, which is scheduled to reopen in July, showcasing the Enterprise, NASA’s first space shuttle, which arrived last year. The U.S.S. Intrepid, a World War II-era aircraft carrier, is worthwhile in itself. While the complex suffered damage during Hurricane Sandy, most of its facilities are once again
shipshape. Families may want to consider Operation Slumber, which allows for overnight visits with special activities for children 6 and older.
Children’s Museum of the Arts
All the artwork here is made by children, and visitors can make their own (bonus:you don’t have to clean up). An area for younger children includes sand, Play-Doh and guided music activities. Children go berserk for the Ball Pond, a closed-in area of oversize balls. Is it experiential art? An installation? Children need not bother with such imponderables.
21. Which of the following museums offer free admission?
A. Tenement Museum. B. MoMa Museum.
C. Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. D. Children’s Museum of Arts.
22. How is Children’s Museum of the Arts different from the other three museums?
A. It provides activities for children of different ages.
B. It exhibits a lot of artwork.
C. Its artwork is all created by children.
D. It used to be damaged in the Hurrican Sandy.
23. What do the four museums have in common?
A. They are all children-friendly.
B. They all show visitors contemporary artwork.
C. They can offer visitors activities to take part in.
D. They are all suitable for children over 4 years old.
B
I passed my driving test at the fourth attempt. You might think that means I'm not as safe
as someone who passed for the first time. But would you feel safer with no driver at all? Maybe not, and it’s for this reason that automotive firms have included driverassist functions in their prototype(原型) driverless cars. This allows the human driver to take over if there is a problem.
Google is one manufacturer that has prototype driverless cars. These have been equipped with steering wheels and conventional controls to allow normal driving. But this is just a stage — the vision is to have fully automated cars very soon. The director of Google's selfdrive project, Chris Urmson, hopes his 11yearold son will never have to take a driving test. To achieve that, the cars need to be on the roads in five years. He says driverless cars will greatly reduce accidents and traffic jams.
According to Chris, “about 1.2 million people are killed on the roads around the world each year. That number is equivalent to a jet falling out of the sky every day.” He thinks gradual changes to existing car designs are not enough to deal with the problem. “If we are really going to make changes to our cities and get rid of parking lots, we need selfdrive cars,” he says.
Google's prototypes have covered over a million kilometers on the road. They have also had to deal with unexpected situations, such as a child driving a toy car in the road, and a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck. In each case, they reacted safely.
Some are not convinced. Sven Beiker of Stanford University thinks driverless cars will still need human input in extreme circumstances. He also worries that people may forget how to operate their vehicles if they do not do it regularly. “I guess I shouldn’t throw away my driver’s license just yet,” he says.
24. What can be known about driverless cars?
A. They are fitted with newly- developed steering wheels.
B. They include functions managed by human drivers.
C. They need traditional controls to avoid traffic jams.
D. They will be purchased on the market in five years.
25. What can we learn from what Chris said?
A. Chris believes that there is a possibility of a jet crashing per day.
B. About 1.2 million people are killed around the world each year.
C. Changing current car designs alone cannot prevent all traffic deaths.
D. Driverless cars cannot deal with extreme circumstances withour human help.
26. What’s the attitude of Sven Beiker towards driverless cars?[来源:学科网ZXXK]
A. Approving. B. Cautious. C. Neutral. D. Hopeful.
27. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Why we need driverless cars in the near future.
B. How to control a driverless car without a driver’s license.
C. Differences between driverless cars and conventional ones.
D. A brief introduction of driverless cars and some opinions on them.
C
If you have ever had a cat, or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online, you’ll know that cats have a mind of their own. A lot of the things they do are hard to understand---they like to climb up tall furniture, fit themselves in small spaces and attack small objects for no reason at all.
Now scientists have managed to figure out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends. According to Tony Buffington, a professor at Ohio State University in the US, cats’ strange behavior largely comes from their way of life back in the wild. “Cats today still have many of the same instincts(本能) that allowed them to live in the wild for millions of years.” he said in a TED Talk. “To them, our homes are their jungles.”
In the wild, cats are hunters. Their bodies and great balancing abilities allow them to climb to high spots to better look at the environment. Even though they don’t have to hunt any more in human houses, they still keep the old habit of viewing the living room from, for example, the top of the refrigerator.
Cats’ hunting instinct is also what makes them attack small things like keys and USB drives. In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get, and most of the animals they kill are small.
However, cats can also be prey. This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines---they are hiding, or they think they are hiding, from more dangerous animals. This is also why cats prefer a clean box: a smelly one could easily show enemies where they are.
Knowing how cats’ minds work is not only useful for better understanding them. It may also help cats’ owners to better meet cats’ needs. For example, owners could try to make climbing easier for cats by moving their furniture around. They could also use “food puzzles” to make eating feel more like hunting instead of just giving food to the cats.
28. According to Tony Buffington, ________.
A. cats’ strange behavior is hard for people to understand
B. cats are more used to living in the wild than in humans’ homes
C. cats behave strangely mainly because of some instincts in the wild
D. cats’ instincts are as helpful to them today as they were millions of year ago
29. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. Cats like to climb up high because they want to hide from dangerous animals.
B. Cats attack keys and USB drives because they have a habit of hunting small animals.
C. Cats enjoy staying in small spaces because they usually live in small caves in the wild.
D. Cats’ preference for a clean box probably has something to do with their hunting instincts.
30. The underlined word “prey” in Paragraph 5 probably means ____.
A. an animal that is too lazy B. an animal that likes hiding games
C. an animal that keeps itself clean D. an animal that is hunted
31. This article is mainly written to _________.
A. explore the reasons behind cats’ strange behavior
B. describe cats’ past wild experience to readers
C. tell cat owners how to make life easier for cats
D. compare cats’ behavior in human homes with that in the wild
D
Teenagers who check social media for several hours a day are at the risk of developing ADHD (多动症), a study has concluded.
The research team, from the University of Southern California, tracked 2,600 teenagers aged 15 and 16. They asked them how many times they checked their phones and other digital devices for various reasons, and then monitored them for symptoms of ADHD. After two years, those who had checked their phones the most often were twice as likely as those who checked the least often to show signs of ADHD．
Writing in the JAMA medical journal, the scientists said, “Modern media devices immediately inform users when new text messages, social media postings, or video game play invitations arrive. Exposure to such information may draw attention away from important tasks. Frequent distraction could interrupt the development of constant attention and organization skills.”
They believe constant access to instant entertainment also has an impact. Researcher Professor Adam Leventhal said all previous research had focused on the link between ADHD
and televisions. “What’s new is that previous studies on this topic were done many years ago, when social media, mobile phones, tablets and mobile apps didn’t exist. We can say with confidence that teens who are exposed to higher levels of digital media are significantly more likely to develop ADHD symptoms in the future,” he said.
Leventhal believes the findings help fill a gap in understanding how new mobile media devices and seemingly limitless content pose a mental health risk for children. And the findings serve as a warning.
British scientists welcomed the findings. But Professor Andy Przybylski of the Oxford Internet Institute said, “The study relies on survey responses provided by the students in question. It is not clear if teachers or parents would rate the children similarly or if the self-reported measure of digital screen use is related with either actual behavior or higher quality survey items.”
32. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By monitoring 2,600 teenagers with ADHD．
B. By controlling different teens’ time spent on social media.
C. By tracking the participants for two years.
D. By analyzing data from previous researches online.
33. What does Leventhal think of the exposure to higher levels of digital media?
A. It will cause diverse ADHD symptoms. B. It will create higher ADHD risks.
C. It will weaken teenagers’ confidence.
D. It will have a major influence on organization skills.
34. What does Professor Andy Przybylski think of the study?
A. It provides a better understanding of the media.
B. It should have focused on parents’ responses.
C. Its findings are not reliable enough. D. It’s a breakthrough in this field.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The use of digital media is on the rise
B. Teens’ exposure to modern media calls more attention
C. Heavy use of social media may increase Teens’ ADHD risks
D. Teens are increasingly exposed to ADHD

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。
There is no such thing as a “bad memory”, and everyone can improve their memory, as long as you are not suffering from memory loss as a medical condition. 36
Stop thinking that you have a “bad memory”. Convince yourself that you do have a good memory that will improve. Too many people get stuck here and convince themselves their memory is bad, that they are just not good with names and that numbers just slip out of their minds for some reason. 37
Use association to remember facts. 38 For example, if you have a hard time remembering that JFK was the president involved in the Bay of Pigs Invasion, just picture the handsome president swimming in an ocean surrounded by happy, oinking pigs.
Involve multiple senses. You can stimulate(刺激) more parts of your brain by using as many senses as possible when memorizing information. 39 For example, the process of writing information by hand stimulates your brain and makes it easier to remember the information later.
40 By developing new mental skills- especially complex ones such as learning a
new language or learning to play a new musical instrument- and challenging your brain with puzzles and games, you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological function.
A. Exercise your brain as often as possible.
B. Give yourself some time to form a memory.
C. Erase those thoughts and promise to improve your memory.
D. If you want to improve your memory, there are a number of things you can do.
E. You can create an image in your mind to help you remember a word or an image.
F. This concrete image in your mind will help you link the president with this event.
G. When a larger part of your brain is active, your ability to arouse your memory will increase.
