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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Some photographers have the good fortune to find a mentor in their young years who both inspires and encourages them. Jessica Backhaus found one in Gisele Freund, the great French photographer remembered for her portraits (肖像) of artists, especially writers. Gisele was a wonderful, sensitive portraitist whose pictures of Virginia Woolf, Andre Gide, James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, Jean Cocteau, and a long list of well-known artists are unforgettable.
Jessica, a young photographer from Germany, was studying photography in Paris when she met the famous Gisele Freund, on November 5, 1992. Slowly a friendship developed, lasting until Gisele’s death, in 2000; and in a way it still continues today. Gisele was generous in her concern for a new generation of photographers, and Jessica took to heart her advice to forget about technique and to take pictures with her eyes and heart. To thank her, Jessica decided to take the
series of pictures published in the book One Day in November.
One day, before Jessica moved to New York, Gisele suggested that she write about their friendship. The book One Day in November begins with Jessica’s essay on their shared memories and conversations, followed by her photographs. She calls it a visual poem, pointing out that she expresses herself best in pictures rather than words.
The excellent photographs from her book can be seen in a splendid exhibition at Laurence Miller Gallery, along with a series of pictures from three of her other books: Jesus and the Cherries, portraits taken in a Polish village where time stood still; What Still Remains, pictures of objects left behind; and a new book of light reflections on water, I Wanted to See the World. All are guided by Gisele’s advice and all are quite wonderful.
21. The underlined word “one” in Paragraph 1 refers to .
A. a responsible friend B. a well-known artist
C. an inspiring instructor D. an experienced photographer
22. What can we learn about the book One Day in November from the passage?
A. It begins with photographs and ends with an essay.
B. It talks about the friendship between Jessica and Gisele.
C. It collects poems that provide readers with a visual feast.
D. It contains portraits taken in a village where time stood still.
23. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Jessica’s memories of Gisele. B. Gisele’s influence on Jessica.
C. The photographs taken by Gisele. D. The achievements made by Jessica.
B
BEIJING—More Chinese consumers prefer to make payments via smart devices as mobile apps have made purchases much easier, but security concerns remain, a PwC report said.
Nearly one-third of respondents in China chose mobile payment when shopping last year, doubling from 16 percent in 2014, according to the accounting firm’s global retail (零售) survey. The figure appeared much higher than the world’s average of 12 percent.
The popularity comes as a result of rapid growth of mobile payment options and an expanding mobile network, the report said.
Chinese have started to enjoy a wide range of mobile payment options that allow faster,
securer payment through near field communication and QR code. Moreover, more advances have been seen in biometric technology, such as the use of fingerprints and facial recognition.
“As competition becomes fierce, mobile payment players are trying to attract users through the continuous development of technology and business models,” said Yuqing Guo, PwC China’s financial service consulting partner, adding that the technology is changing the way consumers assess and purchase products.
But security problems are rising. Data security was still seen as a huge problem, with leak of user information, payment fraud (诈骗) and virus attacks appearing as the three biggest challenges for the rapid growing field. The PwC report said over 60 percent of respondents were worried that their personal information was not safe.
Chinese government has introduced a series of policies to strengthen strict supervision (监督). In the meantime, people should avoid scanning QR codes from unknown sources and raise awareness of fraudulence.
The field still has vast space for growth due to technological advances and the rise of the tech-savvy younger generation, the report said, predicting China’s retail and consumer product industry will post an annual growth rate of 7.5 percent between 2016 and 2020.
24. According to the passage, more Chinese people favor mobile payment because .
A. it ensures the absolute security of purchases
B. it provides them with various options of items
C. it guarantees faster delivery than cash payment
D. it helps them purchase products more conveniently
25. To keep their personal information safe, consumers are advised .
A. to learn more knowledge about virus attacks
B. to cut down the chance of using mobile apps
C. to increase supervision over mobile payment
D. to check the sources before scanning QR codes
26. In which section of a newspaper does the passage probably appear?
A. Technology. B. Finance. C. Companies. D. Industries.
C
The British summer is extremely beautiful. Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country look like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this picturesque scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?
Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected. According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species found in the British Isles, more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining population, including the most popular Meadow Brown. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are dying out.
Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping sharply. The latter cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England. And the Blue butterfly, which was commonly seen in the south, has started settling in Edinburgh in the past few years.
The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years largely because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their living conditions are also degrading.
Fortunately Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Conservationists believe the warm weather will bring some benefit to the butterflies.
Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, “Butterflies in abundance tell us that all is well with nature. When they decline it’s a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way.”
The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to keep track of the UK’s butterfly population. The organizers hope the survey will help raise public awareness of the value of butterflies in the UK. Butterflies give an indication of the well-being of nature and the environment.
27. The survey conducted by Butterfly Conservation has found that .
A. the UK butterflies enjoy a cool climate
B. the UK butterflies prefer settling in the north
C. the number of the UK butterflies is decreasing
D. butterflies make the British summer more attractive
28. How does the writer support the findings of the survey in Paragraph 3?
A. By listing examples. B. By providing data.
C. By giving explanations. D. By making comments.
29. What does the underlined word “degrading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Turning better. B. Getting worse.
C. Keeping stable. D. Becoming different.
30. Butterfly Conservation expects their survey to .
A. warn people to care more about the change of weather
B. keep the charity running more smoothly than ever before
C. help the British government protect nature and the environment
D. strengthen people’s understanding of the importance of butterflies

What Makes Teamwork Effective?
The most effective teamwork happens when individual contributors harmonize their efforts and work toward a common goal. Good teams don’t typically happen by accident. 31
Good Leadership
The best leaders reliably follow through on their commitments; or walk the talk as the saying goes. 32 Employees want a leader who is available and approachable, who listens and values their input, and who recognizes them for a job well done.
Adaptability
It is important to have a clearly defined set of roles and responsibilities for each member. 33 Team members are willing to cross lines of responsibility and do something that may not be in their job description, if that is what’s required to get the job done.
Effective Communication
In the most effective teams, communication happens regularly. Interactions across team members as well as to and from team leaders are all necessary. Regular team meetings are a good way to discuss ongoing activities and new assignments. But if a crisis arises, discussion shouldn’t wait until a team meeting takes place. 34
Skilled Conflict Management
Conflict happens, even in the most cooperative teams. Often new ideas and solutions can come from differences of opinion, so they shouldn’t be discouraged. Decide as a team how to handle conflicts. 35 If individuals are respectful, keep the conversations professional and listen to each other, this trust will develop naturally.
A. It requires a certain level of trust.
B. Members are open to unusual suggestions.
C. Effective teams are willing to try out new solutions.
D. They also provide as much or as little leadership as the team requires.
E. There exist some keys that are usually involved in creating successful teams.
F. Email and conference calls arc quick ways to respond when a problem occurs.
G. However, on the most effective teams tasks and responsibilities are not strictly stuck to.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
You might think that whether you choose a blue shirt or a yellow one to wear to work or college makes no difference to your day and those around you. However, an increasing number of experts argue that the colors we choose affect our mood, our career prospects (前景) and even our health.
The power of color has been used for centuries and we should be making the most of it in our lives. Color affects us to a greater degree than most of us realize. It is used increasingly by psychologists and therapists for influencing mood and state of mind, and for various types of treatments when we are ill. Some people even believe that the blind can benefit from the ‘vibrations’ (震动) that color gives off.
Companies use color to great effect to encourage us to buy their products. For example, purple is seen as creative and mixes well with red, to show that a company has ideas and the power to make them happen. Orange and blue are also recommended colors for companies to use, because orange is the color of communication and blue suggests safety and security. So this could be a particularly good combination. Companies have found certain colors ‘speak’ to specific age groups. They often use red to attract younger people to their products, for example, as it is vibrant and more youthful than colors like gold and navy, which older customers seem to prefer.
Wearing different colors can affect how you feel and how others react to you, so it is important to consider this when deciding what to wear in the morning. If you want people to take
you seriously, then wearing navy blue or black is good. Blue would also be helpful for an interview or oral examination because it relaxes you and makes you feel calm. Red gets you noticed by everyone and makes you, the wearer, feel energetic, but be careful, as it can raise your pulse rate and not everyone wants this effect.
So think carefully before you leave the house. The colors you choose are a wonderful tool. Are you making the right impression-on yourself and on others?

W: Look John, would you mind leaving the room for a minute? There’s something I need to discuss with Pete here.
M: Of course not. I’m feeling a bit hungry anyway. I just want to go out for something to eat.
Text 2
W: How much are the tickets for the match?
M: The cheapest are £ 21 and the next ones are £ 24.
W: That’s not bad. Last time I paid £ 28. We won’t save much if we get two cheaper tickets.
M: That’s true. Let’s go for the more expensive ones then.
Text 3
W: Hello? David? Thank goodness, you turned your cell phone on. I locked my keys in the car. Can you wait about an hour? I called the repairman and he’s on his way.
M: Don’t worry, then. I’ll just take a taxi.
W: I’m really sorry.

M: Pardon me, would it be possible to get a table by the window? My co-workers and I are celebrating a colleague’s promotion, and we’d like the nicest view.
W: Let me check the reservation book to make sure that the table is free.
M: OK.

M: We’re moving very slowly again now. I’m going to miss my meeting if we don’t speed up soon.

W: I wonder why The Sunflower went out of business. It got a great review in Dining Magazine and every time I ate there, there was a big crowd.
M: It’s not closed forever. There was a fire in the kitchen last month, but they plan to reopen as soon as the damage is repaired.
W: I’m glad to hear that. It was one of the best spots in town. It was so clean; the workers were so friendly, and the food was great!

M: Hi, May. What’s up?
W: Hi, John. I’m thinking. I’ve got lots of gifts to buy in the next few weeks and I’m just making a list of what to get.
M: How exciting! I love buying gifts. Tell me what you’re going to buy and who for.
W: Well, it’s my cousin Rachel’s wedding soon. I’m going to get her a dinner set of plates, bowls and glasses for their new apartment, because they like to hold dinner parties. My friend Bonnie is having a baby soon, and there is a baby shower for her next week.
M: So what gift are you giving her?
W: What about a teddy bear? Is it too simple?
M: No, I think a teddy bear is a classic gift for babies. Well, have you got it all figured out?
W: Yeah. I think it will cost a fortune to buy all the gifts.

W: At lunchtime, I watched that good cooking show, Chef’s Special, and I’ve got some great ideas for some meals we can try out for dinner.
M: Well, that sounds good. So what’s on your list?
W: Let’s see. We’ve got some meat at home already, but we need something for a salad. We need
some tomatoes, carrots and green onions.
M: Sounds very healthy.
W: The apples look really good today. Let’s pick up some, too. Plus we need to get some bananas. Would you like some milk or cheese?
M: No, they are not my taste.
W: Then can you get a box of ice cream?
M: Sure, I love ice cream best.
W: I think that’s everything we need. Let’s go home and cook dinner.

M: Hello, Freya. Mountain biking is a popular sport among teenagers but there are fewer girls doing it. Am I right?
W: Yes, although we’re growing in numbers. When I was 13, my dad bought my brother a mountain bike but I was given an ordinary one. I really wanted to join my brother, so in the end my uncle got one for me.
M: And now you’re a winner?
W: Yes. I just won the Regional Championship. It was a difficult course with lots of rocks. At one point I thought I wasn’t going to win. I was ahead and then I had to slow down because a photographer jumped out from behind a tree.
M: What do you think is the most important before a race?
W: Well, there’s much to do. Take plenty of exercise to keep fit. Check the route in advance. And the most important I think is you must make sure everything’s working on the bike. If there’s anything wrong with the bike, I’ll be in trouble. And the clothes shouldn’t slow you down so they need to be tight. They might feel a bit uncomfortable when you first put them on but you soon get used to it. I’m not bothered about not looking pretty—I just want to win.

W: Hello, this is Greenhill Studies College. I’m leaving this message in answer to your questions about the Business Studies course. Firstly, you asked when the course starts. It begins on the 12th of June, and finishes on the 11th of July. At the beginning of the course, there are no lectures because we spend time watching business videos. So you won’t need to bring anything for the class, as everything is provided. Don’t forget, however, that although you can bring your own
notebook computer if you wish, mobile phones are not allowed in the classroom. I’m afraid these can disturb the classes. You said you’re coming by car. Well, as it’s only a short course, you can use the visitor’s car park which is just beside the main entrance. We’re only a short walk away. Just turn right after the science center, cross the staff car park, and you’ll see the door to the Business Studies Department in front of you. Finally, you also wanted to know if it’s possible to attend a language course while you are here. Well, the answer is yes, but we only have room on our Italian classes. Oh, no actually... there’s one place on the Spanish course too. We usually offer French, Chinese, German and Japanese as well, but there aren’t enough students for those classes this summer. If you want to apply for the course, please sign up before the 5th of June. Thank you.
