第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35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
Many of us just laugh it away when they are told incredible(难以置信的) stories about other people, but I have a deep interest in these stories and I prefer to believe they are true. Here’s one I collected from a total stranger.
“Well, I was 11 when my family arrived at Fern Lake overlooking Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was so beautiful to look miles across the Rockies and thousands of feet below into the valley. My parents were busy getting lunch out of the trunk so I climbed over the wooden fence to get closer to the cliff edge in the hope that I wouldn’t miss any beautiful sight down there.
I started down a little hill but soon started sliding on loose pebble rocks(鹅卵石). I fell on my back, but kept going faster and faster to what seemed the edge of the world (a 2,000 foot drop). In seconds I knew I was going to die. My feet and legs went first over the edge at a high speed. Then suddenly I felt two hands push hard on my chest and stopped me dead. My heart was racing and I slowly inched my body back to where I finally could make it back up the hill.
My father was waiting there and screaming at me for doing such a dangerous stunt (特技). I tried to tell him and my mom about the hands that held me back, but to this day they don’t believe me. They thought I was just trying to get out of trouble with a made-up story.”
We parted ways, but I assured her that I believed every word of her story. I could see a little surprise and happiness on her face.
That’s why I always ask people to share their miracles (奇迹). Each real story makes my days full of hope and gratefulness.
21. The girl got closer to the cliff edge to ________.
A. take an adventure B. better enjoy the view
C. collect pebble rocks D. play a joke on her parents
22. In the writer’s eyes, the girl ______.
A. made up an exciting story B. reached the bottom of the valley
C. enjoyed doing dangerous stunts D. was saved by a magical force
23. The writer is interested in people’s miracle stories because they______.
A. are often told in an amusing way B. seem unbelievable but actually true
C. prove that life is full of miracles D. help him stay positive about life
B
People like to post their selfies(自拍照) on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.
People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.
Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.
Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and
women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.
Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos --- even if they click “like”.
24. What is the research mainly about?
A. The ways of making people look better in selfies.
B. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.
C. The differences between men and women in posting selfies.
D. The connections between posting selfies and mental health.
25. What does the word “vanity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A deep desire to know about something. B. A special need to be more popular.
C. Too much pride in one’s own appearance. D.Strong determination to improve oneself.
26. What is Chock’s attitude towards selfie posting?
A. Ambiguous. B. Cautious. C. Disapproving. D. Supportive.
27. From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photos to friends and family ______.
A. to win praise from viewers B. to show off their cameras
C. to improve relationships D. to share good moments
C
Sudoku (数独) puzzles give your brain a hard time: Every number from 1 to 9 must appear in each of the nine horizontal (横向的) rows, in each of the nine vertical columns and in each of the nine boxes.
For many of us, this can be a reason for a headache, but in the very rare case of a German man, a Sudoku puzzle even caused seizures (痉挛).
In a new case study from the University of Munich, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Berend Feddersen introduces a student who was 25 years old when he was buried by a snow slide during a ski tour. For 15 minutes, he didn’t get enough oxygen, which severely damaged certain parts of his brain. “He had to receive treatment on the scene. Luckily he survived,” says Feddersen, the author of the study.
Weeks after the accident, when the young man was ready for recovery treatment, something bizarre happened: When the patient solved Sudoku puzzles, he suddenly had seizures of his left arm — something the medical world hadn’t seen before.
Feddersen explains: “In order to solve a Sudoku, the patient used parts of his brain which are responsible for vision-space tasks. But exactly those brain parts had been damaged in the accident and then caused the seizures once they were used.”
This particular case is an example of what doctors call reflex epilepsy (反射性癫痫), according to Dr. Jacqueline French, professor from NYU Langone School of Medicine.
“You have to have an injury of your brain first, and then seizures like that can happen,” she says.
In the meantime, the patient from the case study stopped solving Sudoku puzzles forever and
has been seizure-free for more than five years. “Fortunately, he can do crossword puzzles. He never had problems with those,” Feddersen says.
28. In the accident, the student ______.
A. began to experience seizures in his left arm
B. got the vision-space part of his brain damaged
C. had to be sent to hospital as soon as possible
D. found his Sudoku ability seriously weakened
29. It can be learned from the text that ______.
A. the man cannot complete crossword puzzles now
B. it is Sudoku playing that brings about his seizures
C. the man’s symptoms are common and widely observed
D. the seizures cause much trouble to the man’s daily life
30. This text can be best described as______.
A. a medical test B. a warning to skiers
C. a news report D. a research paper

Choosing the right college can be challenging, but knowing where to start can be even more challenging. 31 Here are the tips I wish someone would have told me before I chose which college to attend.
First things first, you need to decide what you want to major in. This will be the most important part of the process, because it will determine what career you will choose after college. This decision is not the end, you can definitely change majors once you’re in college. 32
Next, it’s time to decide if you want to stay close to your hometown or go away for college. Both options have their own pros and cons. These pros and cons can vary from money and how much financial aid the college will provide you, job success after graduation, opportunities the college offers such as study abroad or internships, to how many people attend the college. 33
34 Would you mind living in the area surrounding the campus? Do they have a good program for your major? Does the college have big or small classes, which would you prefer? How is the college ranked? Does ranking matter to you? Is the campus big or small? Which would you prefer? Does the school feel like a good personal fit?
Make sure to also do research on alumni (校友), current students and professors who are present on the different campuses of the colleges you are inquiring about. It’s always good to do great research than none at all and pick a college you know nothing about and regret your decision in the end. And if this happens, you’ll end up transferring (转学) to another college, where you’ll definitely do your research to not have the same thing happen again. 35
Now that you have all this newfound knowledge on how to choose a college, I hope you are ready to start the process! Good luck!
A. No worries, I am here to help you through the process.
B. There’s no excuse for not visiting the colleges in your local area.
C. Other things to consider when choosing a college are as follows.
D. You can register for its online college fair at campuslife.com.
E. These are all things to take into consideration when choosing a college.
F. But note that changing majors can affect how long it will take you to graduate.
G. So you might as well get all the research done now, and save yourself both time and money.

Who are better at science in your class, girls or boys? These years, girls start to show more interest in the 56 (subject) of science, technology, engineering and Maths (STEM), according to a recent study from the UK.
In the study, every year over the last seven years, over 20,000 students 57 were in their final year in high school were surveyed. As for university courses, 58 number of girls considering choosing STEM subjects has a 59 (big) increase than that of boys. Over one-fifth of the girls surveyed said they were considering jobs 60 (relate) to STEM, such as engineers. And the interest in engineering and science has also risen.
This is an important change for women in the UK. But at present, there are not nearly as many women 61 men studying STEM subjects or working in the STEM fields. Only 13%～22% of people who graduate 62 university with STEM degrees are women. And women are seen only one in eight STEM jobs.
Are men really more suited to STEM work than women? Of course not. This is 63 (part) because of the conventional idea, which means many people think so, even though it is not correct.
“It is important that young women should 64 (encourage) to get into these jobs. In fact, STEM subjects are fun and exciting. Studying science can do 65 (we) good. It offers women chances of taking up fantastic careers and they will get higher pay in these areas,” said Niki Yates, manager of GSK’s business.

第二节 概要写作（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Workaholics live for their work, often spending many extra hours at work, and often taking work home to complete. It’s fine to live in a work-hard culture, but when work becomes the only reason for a person’s existence above more important things (such as family and friends), the issue becomes critical. That’s the problem more and more Americans are faced with.
Americans are working more hours per week than in years past, and with many companies reducing employees, more and more workers are worried about their own jobs. Some studies show that as many as 40 percent of American workers don’t even bother to take vacations, partly because of fears they may not have a job to come back to if they do. Besides, it is obvious that part of the matter is financial. More and more people begin to define success in terms of financial measures. The higher one’s income is, the more respect one gets. Finally, people nowadays live and work in a connected environment -- e-mails, instant messaging, fax machines, and cell phones -- making it hard for them to truly get time away from their work, even when they are on holiday.
When work becomes the only reason for being -- when it becomes the only thing people think about, the only thing that truly makes people happy, many Americans find that they are no longer close to their kids. Divorce rate jumps and serious stress-related health problems come up. Undoubtedly, it is time to do something.
To reduce workaholism, you must stay away from work once in a while. There are many ways to do that: Spend time with family and friends; Call home often to stay connected; Learn to say no to new assignments; Consider exercises to get your body back to a healthy shape; Fight the urge that everything you do must be perfect. It will take some effort, but for yourself and those you love, you really should make the effort. Have a try and you won’t regret it.

W: What do you think of the movie?
M: I think it’s amazing. You know, nowadays almost all the movies are the same: pretty girls, handsome man, both rich with great jobs, falling in love. Even science fictions are filled with such stories. But this one is different. It’s a serious science fiction.
W: Then what part of the movie do you like best?
M: I love the creative idea in the story very much. To push the earth away from the sun! How can the novel writer think of such a creative idea? He’s a genius!
W: Yes. But many people comment that some of the images and the sound effect are not good enough.
M: Yeah, I know. I agree with them. If the producer had invested more money, I believe they could have done it better. But with so little money, they have already done well enough.
W: I see. Then do you think it’s a movie suitable for young children to watch?
M: Of course it is. Actually I strongly recommend parents to take their children to the cinema to watch this movie. It’s good for promoting children’s imagination and creativity.
W: Great. I’ll take my son to watch the movie this weekend.

Do you want to keep up with the latest scientific researches and discoveries? There are many great websites out there that you can visit to check out the latest news in the science world.
One very good website is called Science for Kids. This site reports new science discoveries covering a wide range of subjects. The articles are written in simple language with the interests and education background of younger readers in mind, but adults will also find much information on this site suitable and fun for them.
Another very wonderful website, one that I often check out, is called Science Weekly. The site is constantly updated with news, often about exciting findings and breakthroughs that change the way we look at the world and the universe. Whether it is discoveries about ancient creatures that have been extinct for millions of years or the latest advances in artificial intelligence, you’ll find it in Science Weekly.
These sites post stories as they become news and they also keep the past articles for you to read later. You can simply enter a search term and find articles on anything related to science that they’ve ever published.

Dear Jack,
I am so pleased to learn that you are to spend some time in China.

The city enjoys a high reputation for its abundance of ancient architecture, which represents the traditional local lifestyles. And there are also plenty of museums where precious relics of historical interest are waiting for you to explore. Besides, the exceptional Peking Opera performances there are also what you can’t miss.
I wish you a very happy and meaningful time in China!
Yours sincerely,

概要写作
An increasing number of Americans are becoming workaholics. They work extra hours every week to maintain their jobs and become financially successful. Even on holiday, modern communication technologies always connect them to work. Consequently, workaholism breaks up their families and damages their health. Luckily, there is a lot one can do to make time away from work though it takes some effort, but anyway, it’s worthwhile to have a try.
