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）
A
“Changing the world” might seem like an unrealistic goal. When faced with huge problems such as air
pollution or energy shortages, where do you start? Taoyuan-based Gogoro believes you start with a scooter（踏板
车）.
Proof of concept
In 2015, Gogoro broke onto the scene by releasing an electric scooter called the Smart-scooter. Unlike most
electric scooters. This one wouldn't need to plugged in to recharge. Instead, users would stop by GoStations to
exchange drained batteries for fully charged ones.
Gogoro was taking a risk. If people were not happy with the system of changing batteries, the whole project
could fail. They didn't need to worry, though. Only one year later Gogoro sold their 10,000th Smart-scooter!
Setting the bar
Fast forward to 2019 and the release of the Series 3 Smart-scooter. Gogoro scooters are as popular and
revolutionary as ever. Their bright colors are chosen by Beatrice Santiccioli, a famous color designer who helped
shape major brands like Apple, Nike and Swatch. In addition to the scooters' bright colors, plenty of cool
accessories（配件）are available so you can make your scooter your own. But most important of all, Gogoro
continues to pave the way toward a future of responsible energy consumption.
Looking forward
Multiple cities and countries have committed to making their transportation all-electric in the coming years,
and Gogoro is helping make it possible. Ordered a package? Companies like DHL and Taiwan Post now have
fleets of Smart-scooters to make deliveries. Need a ride? Unlock a Gogoro in Beilin, Paris or Madrid, thanks to
scooter sharing services.
The Smart-scooters is definitely creative, but there's more. "At Gogoro, I think the essential thing is that we
want to change how people use energy. And the Smart-scooters is only the beginning." says Horace Luke,
Gogoro co-founder and CEO. This is where the GoStation comes in.
21. Compared with other electric scooters, the Smart-scooter___________.（ ）
A. can recharge itself in Gostations in mega-cities
B. only needs to change batteries in Gostations
C. wouldn't need to be recharged at all in life
D. can be recharged by its users in Gostations
22. Gogoro scooters are popular and revolutionary mainly because__________. （ ）
A. their colors are chosen by a famous color designer
B. their colors are different from those of others
C. it is a good way for people to consume energy
D. it can help us solve the problem of energy short
23. What can we conclude from the passage? （ ）
A. More GoStations may appear in more and more cities.
B. GoStations will soon entirely take the place of traditional stations.
C. People need not go to GoStations especially during peak hours.
D. More big cities will appear throughout the world in the future.
B
A butterfly's wings can have many jobs besides keeping the insect high up in the air. They may be used to
attract mates, or to warn potential attackers to stay away. All of these roles, though, depend on their unchanging
colouration. This plays into the idea that butterfly wings are dead tissue, like a bird's feathers. In fact, that's not true.
For example, in some species males' wings have special cells releasing some chemicals which attract females.
Nanfang Yu. a physicist at Columbia University, in New York, has been looking into the matter. Together
with Naomi Pierce, a butterfly specialist at Harvard University, he has now shown, in a paper published in Nature
Communications in February, 2020, that butterfly wings are, indeed, very much alive.
In their experiments. the two researchers used a laser（激光）to heat up spots on the wings of dozens of
butterfly species. When the temperature of the area under the laser reached 40℃ or so, the insects responded
within seconds by doing things that stopped their wings heating up further. These actions included a butterfly
turning around to minimize its outline to the laser, moving its wings up and down or simply walking away.
Butterflies engaged in all of these heat-minimising activities even when the researchers blinded them. That
suggested the relevant sensors were on the wings themselves. Dr Yu and Dr Pierce therefore searched those wings
for likely looking sensory cells. They found some, in the form of neurons（神经元）that were similar to heat
detectors known from other insects. They also uncovered disc-shaped calls that appeared to be similar to
pressure-sensitive neurons. They guess that these are there to detect deformation of the wing---information an
insect could use to control its flight pattern.
The third discovery they made to contradict the “dead wing" idea was that some butterfly wings have a
heartbeat. A butterfly's wings have veins（静脉）. These carry a bloodlike liquid which, researchers have now
found in males, shows a pulse（脉搏）of several dozen beats per minute. The source of this pulse appears to be the
scent（气味）pad, a dark spot on the wings that produces the female-attracting chemicals. Apparently, this "wing
heart" acts as a pump that helps bloodlike liquid through the scent pad.
In all their experiments simulating different environmental conditions, Dr Yu and Dr Pierce consistently found
that, different parts of the wing are covered by different sorts of scales（鳞屑）. In particular, tubes pass through
scales over the scent pads. This improves their ability to spread heat away and helps keep the living parts of a
butterfly's wings alive.
24. A bird's feathers are mentioned in Paragraph I to__________. （ ）
A. introduce the latest research findings on a bird
B. highlight the special feature of a bird's feathers
C. show common knowledge about butterfly wings
D. stress the difference between a butterfly and a bird
25. What can we learn from Dr Yu and Dr Pierce's experiments? （ ）
A. Butterfly wings are complicated living organs.
B. Butterfly wings have little reaction to external heat.
C. The scent pads on some male butterfly wings are their hearts.
D. Heat-minimising activities help detect deformation of the wings.
26. What is the function of scales over the scent pads? （ ）
A. Attracting mates. B. Increasing blood flow.
C. Covering powerful tubes. D. Producing the cooling effect.
27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? （ ）
A. Seeing Is Believing B. More Than Meets The Eye
C. Nothing Seek, Nothing Find D. Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds
C
As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we've yet
to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a
conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen's Emma can still surprise him, despite his
having read it over 50 times.
New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebecca Mead, a
long-time English woman in New York, first came across George Eliot's Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has
read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has
resonated（引起共鸣）differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only
stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow
with us.
Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in
the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the "what" and the “why”. Second time round, we're
able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the
American University explained. returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book
and its readers."
It's true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books（if we're fond of making notes on the
pages）. These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then.
We're changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience—by the books that we've discovered since
last reading the one in our hand.
More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us
to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joim project between writers and readers,
and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in
the book.
Perhaps what's really strange is that we don't re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again
and we wouldn't think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art
forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms,
the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.
28. The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to__________.（ ）
A. attract the attention of readers
B. introduce the topic of the passage
C. provide some background information
D. show the similarity between re-readers
29. The underlined expression "crack their spines" in Paragraph 2 refers to ____________.（ ）
A. recite them B. re-read them
C. recall them D. retell them
30. It can be learned from paragraphs 3 and 4 that______________.（ ）
A. reading benefits people both mentally and physically
B. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading
C. we know ourselves better through re-reading experience
D. we will change writers by reading the books
31. The writing purpose of the passage is to______________. （ ）
A. call on different understandings of re-reading old books
B. argue against the mental health benefits of re-reading
C. bring awareness to the significance of re-reading
D. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books
D
The great recession（衰退）may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably beginning. Before it
ends, it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. And eventually, it is likely
to reshape our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years.
No one tries harder than the jobless to find silver linings in this national economic disaster. Many said that
unemployment, while extremely painful, had improved them in some ways: they had become less materialistic and
more financially prudent（节俭的）; they were more aware of the struggles of others. In limited respects, perhaps
the recession will leave society beer off. At the very least, it has awoken us from our national fever dream of easy
riches and bigger houses, and put a necessary end to an era of reckless（鲁莽的）personal spending.
But for the most part, these benefits seem thin, uncertain, and far off. In The Moral Consequences of
Economic Growth, the economic historian Benjamin Friedman argues that both inside and outside the U. S, lengthy
periods of economic stagnation or decline have almost always left society more mean-spirited and less inclusive,
and have usually stopped or reversed（颠倒）the advance of rights and freedoms. Anti-immigrant sentiment
typically increases, as does conflict between races and classes.
Income inequality usually falls during a recession, but it has not shrunk in this one. Indeed, this period of
economic weakness may reinforce class divides, and decrease opportunities to cross them—especially for young
people. The research of Till Von Wachter, the economic at Columbia University, suggests that not all people
graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed: those with degrees from elite（精英）universities catch
up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses
beneath them that are left behind.
In the Internet age, it is particularly easy to see the resentment that has always been hidden within American
society. More difficult, in the moment, is recognizing precisely how these lean times are affecting society's
character. In many respects, the U. S. was more socially tolerant entering this recession than at any time in its
history, and a variety of national polls on social conflict since then have shown mixed results. We will have to wait
and see exactly how these hard times will reshape our social orgnization. But they certainly will reshape it, and all
the more so the longer they extend.
32. By saying "to find silver linings" (Para. 2) the author suggests that the jobless try to__________. （ ）
A. seek help from the government
B. explore reasons for the unemployment
C. make profits from the troubled economy
D. look on the bright side of the recession
33. Benjamin Friedman believes that economic recessions may___________. （ ）
A. place a heavy burden on immigrants
B. bring out more evils of human nature
C. promote the advance of rights and freedoms
D. ease conflicts between races and classes
34. The research of Till Von Wachter suggests that in the recession graduates from elite universities tend
to_____________. （ ）
A. fail to keep pace with the others due to decreased opportunities
B. catch up quickly with experienced employees
C. see their life chances as dimmed as the others
D. recover more quickly than the others
35. The author thinks that the influence of hard times on society is___________（ ）
A. certain B. positive C. unimportant D. destructive

Regular exercise is a vital part of leading a healthy lifestyle. 36 Signs of over-training include decreased
performance, chronic（慢性的）tiredness, and mood swings. Here are some advice on treating exercise-related
conditions:
*Take a break from exercising for 1 to 2 weeks. If you experience tiredness, mood swings, or any other
symptoms of over-training, give your body a break. In most cases, I to 2 weeks is all it'll take. You can do yoga or
stretching during the time off. When you start exercising again, take it slow, and rest a muscle group for at least a
day. 37
*See your doctor if resting for 1 to 2 weeks doesn't help. 38 They can diagnose an injury and
recommend a treatment plan for your specific needs. They might also recommend you to see a mental health
professional. It might also be helpful to get help from a personal trainer or physiotherapist. They can help you
determine if you are over training and make a healthy exercise plan for you.
* 39 For some people, the drugs can help get rid of feelings of anxiety or obsession related to
over-training and compulsive（强迫的）exercise. You might need to try different medicines and amounts before
you find the best solution. Side effects could include nausea, constipation, dry mouth, mood changes, and weight
gain. Tell your doctor if you experience these or any other side effects.
*Talk to an advisor about compulsive exercise or an eating disorder. 40 An advisor can help you make
this distinction and, if necessary, identify why exercise has become a compulsion.
A. Schedule an appointment with your primary doctor.
B. However, exercising too much can cause significant health risks.
C. When you begin exercising again, stick to 45 minutes or less per day.
D. Ask your doctor if they need to recommend a drug to treat depression.
E. It might be tough to distinguish between devotion to a sport and compulsive exercise.
F. If you think you might be overdoing it, stop exercising for 1 to 2 weeks.
G. For instance if you work out using a bicycle on Monday, exercise your upper body the following day.

M: Hello?
W: Hello, Tony, (12)it's Amy.
M: Hi, Amy, (11)how are you? And how is the new car?(11)
W: I'm OK but the car is a problem. I need a different one.
M: What's wrong with it? I thought you liked it.
W: I do, but it consumes far too much petrol.(11)I can't afford it. I really need one that is cheaper to run.
M: OK, I can help you find a smaller one. You should be able to trade the one you have for a good price.
W: Oh, thank you so much, Tony—and just one more thing.
M: What's that?
W: I would like a darker color next time. The one I have is white and it gets dirty very quickly.

W: How old was dad when he first joined the army? I swear that he told me he was only 16. I’m sure the laws back
then were much different, but that still seems young. It had to be at least 18, right?
M: Dad was 16 when he signed up and the minimum age was and is still 18(14). Dad lied on his paperwork.
Actually, he arrived at the base on his 16th birthday!
W: Wow, I can’t believe grandma and grandpa allowed that. He didn’t come home for over 10years either.
M: If dad lied to the government, do you really think he told the truth to his parents? They didn’t find out until they
read a letter he sent from Asia. I think grandpa was proud of him, but gradma cried for days.
W: That's why he's always trying to convince you to follow his path. He thinks it will help you become a man.
M: No, he just wants me out of the house because he likes you better. He knows I'd rather go to acting school.
(13)Besides, I'd get in a lot more trouble these days for lying to the military. Even if I wanted to join, I still have
three years to wait. (14)In addition, he probably just has nice memories of the place he met mom. They met in his
third four-year tour and he quit right after that.

Fred Rogers was an American television actor who changed children's television. His show began in 1968 and
was named Mister Rogers'Neighborhood. For 33 years Mister Rogers'Neighborhood was on television,(17)and in
that time it was made 895 broadcasts!
Fred Rogers wanted to make television educational for children and adults. The show was about understanding
complex issues in society, but also it was used to teach people good morals.(18)He had other projects as well, but
he never cared about making money and donated most of his profits to people in need. In 1978, between the filming
of Mister Rogers 'Neighborhood, Fred hosted an interview show as well. It only lasted for one year,(19)but had
around 20 chapters. The people he invited were usually important figures like politicians and sports stars. Fred felt
that having "heart-to-heart" conversations was the only way to understand people around you, so he tried his best to
put this idea into his work.
Fred also was an author of over 36 books! The majority of these books were for parents, and gave good advice
and techniques for how to talk to the children about difficult topics. Some of his books were Going to the Doctor,
The New Baby and When a Pet Dies. He thought it was very important for parents to talk about these things which
were hard to understand for a young child but will still happen in his life. (20)
