阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从 31-50 各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最
佳选项。
Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than 10 minutes before eating? How
about those who beautify their selfie (自拍) so much that they can’t be 31 ? There must be one or
more who 32 in your social media. No matter 33 they choose to share, they share the best but
the most unreal.
Take my friend Chen for example. Every time we went to a restaurant, she would not take a
34 until all the dishes we 35 were on the table. Then, she would spend five minutes on 36 the
dishes in a seemingly random but in fact 37 order. Then the most important part: taking pictures.
After that, she would choose one of the 38 and click in the filter(滤镜) app. The food eventually
looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no 39 to really enjoy it — it all
went cold. Actually Chen's real life is much less elegant. For example, she hates to wash the dishes,
so she leaves them in the sink for 40 .
Many people care too much about others’ opinions and try too hard to 41 others. They find it
hard to be 42 and to accept themselves, and thus they are afraid to show their 43 life on social
media. What they are trying to prove is 44 what they lack in reality. But this will not bring any 45 to reality, as they still 46 the same old pattern of life.
If they really want an elegant life, they should put more 47 into achieving it 48 fabricating(伪
造 ) it. Being more confident, 49 themselves and trying their best to be better is much more
meaningful than 50 their life on social media.
31. A.envied B.admired C.recognized D.defeated
32. A.exist B.survive C.flood D.spot
33. A.how B.what C.where D.whom
34. A.bow B.break C.breath D.bite
35. A.ordered B.served C.offered D.prepared
36. A.cooking B.washing C.setting D.collecting
37. A.messy B.arranged C.casual D.correct
38. A.dishes B.restaurants C.pictures D.tables
39. A.chance B.choice C.excuse D.reason
40. A.months B.years C.hours D.days
41. A.comfort B.please C.inspire D.discouragc
42. A.independent B.generous C.responsible D.confident
43. A.secret B.real C.peaceful D.healthy
44. A.rarely B.hardly C.exactly D.nearly
45. A.difficulty B.change C.guidance D.harm
46. A.question B.dislike C.doubt D.follow
47. A.effort B.ambitions C.feelings D.money
48.A.other than B. more than C.rather than D.less than
49.A.identifying B.accepting C.persuading D.amusing
50.A.simplifying B.ruining C.beautifying D.worsening
第三部分：阅读理解（共 20 小题；每小题 2. 5 分，满分 50 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
We have all imagined what it might be like to go into space and to land on Mars. Now at the
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida you and your family can live it. There are two
parts to the new program, the Astronaut Training Experience (ATX) and Mars Base 1.
The Astronaut Training Experience
The virtual reality (虚拟现实) Walk-on-Mars, Land-and-Drive-on-Mars full-motion simulator
(全动态模拟器) and Spacewalk Training are all parts of the ATX. If you or your children already
love science and have a deep interest in space, this will bring that love to life. Prepare for your
mission to Mars by training like a real NASA astronaut headed to space. Ever wanted to take a
spacewalk? How about a zero-gravity experience, where you fix space equipment like a real
astronaut would?
You can do any of these as “mini missions” if you don’t have time to do them all at once.
Each stage takes about 30-45 minutes.
Mars Base 1
What could be cooler than a day actually spent on Mars? Not an hour or a walk through a
display, but a real day working and surviving on the planet’s surface doing real science? Become a
“rookie(新手) astronaut” participating in simulations and scientific research to grow and analyze
crops in the Mars Botany Lab, or use robots to accomplish tasks. Yes, you actually take part in these activities, and grow real food that is really used and consumed.
Both the ATX and Mars Base 1 offer the magic of space travel without leaving the ground.
51.Who are the intended readers of the text?
A. Students. B. Educators. C. Astronauts. D. Parents.
52. Which of the following is NOT the part of the ATX?
A. The virtual reality Walk -on-Mars
B. The Land and-Drive on-Mars full-motion simulator
C. The Rookie Astronaut
D. The Spacewalk Training
53. What can participants do at the ATX?
A. Grow space plants. B. Use robots to do tasks.
C. Get trained like a real astronaut. D. See space equipment exhibitions.
54. How long does each stage last in the Astronaut Training Experience?
A. About 20-45 minutes. B. About 30-45 minutes.
C. About 30-40 minutes. D. About 40-50 minutes.
55. What do the two programs have in common?
A. Both offer real food to taste. B. Both take less than an hour.
C. Both provide hands-on activities. D. Both recommend mini missions.
B
In 2010, my mother-in-law gave me her rather simple but graceful, antique “secretary desk.”
The desk easily fit into the tiny room at the top of the stairs. I felt so secure, and confident when I sat
down and began each writing session (一段时间). Despite the desk’s appeal, its limited storage
capacity (容量)meant that I often put file folders and books on the small floor space around me.
After each writing session, I painstakingly gathered the tools of the trade and placed them on a
nearby shelf until the next writing session.
A few years into my writing journey, we moved into a bigger home and I acquired my own
office. My husband, Bill, offered on more than one occasion to buy me a new desk for my office, but
I ignored his offers.
One day, we stopped at the local office supply store. Bill found what he thought was the perfect
desk for me. “I want to buy this for you, sweetie. My writer needs a bigger desk.” He hugged me.
“Thanks, but I don’ t want a bigger desk!” I said.
“Why don't you want a bigger desk?” he asked. “You must be afraid of something.”
“I’m not afraid of anything,” I said. “Like I said, I really like my little desk. So, don’t ask me
again!”
He didn’t.
A few weeks later, while working in my new office, I looked around at the folders, books, and
papers lying all over my office floor but couldn't find what I needed to meet a contest deadline. My
heart raced. I looked around my office. The room basically swallowed the tiny desk, making it look
slightly out of place. Maybe I did need a bigger desk. Was Bill right? Was I afraid of something?
Unable to write, I pulled C. JoyBell C’s book of poetry, All Things Dance Like Dragonflies,
from the bookshelf. I flipped through (迅速翻) its pages, and her words about faith jumped off the
page into my heart. She talked about how she had trained herself to love the feeling of not knowing
where she was going, and just trusting that as she opened up her wings and flew off in an unknown
direction, things would work out.At that moment, I recognized that a bigger desk symbolized bigger possibilities, stepping out in
faith, and leaving my comfort zone.
56. What was the limitation of the “secretary desk”?
A. It was a bit small in size. B. It was too old to be functional.
C. It competed with the shelf for room. D. It prevented the author focusing on
writing.
57. What happened to the author at the local office supply store?
A. She talked her husband into buying a desk. B. She had a quarrel with the salesperson.
C. She managed to overcome her fear. D. She declined her husband’s offer.
58. When did the author want to buy a new desk?
A. After she was stuck in a mess. B. When she finished writing a book.
C. When she moved into a bigger house. D. After she missed an important contest.
59. What was the author afraid of before?
A. Unemployment. B. Uncertainty. C. Loss of faith. D. Lack of trust.
60. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. My writing journey B. On the wings of change
C. Why I love my little desk D. A quarrel between my husband and I
C
If there is any such thing as a sea monster, chances are that it looks much like a frilled shark(皱
鳃鲨)！This fearsome but interesting creature is one of the most rarely sighted species on earth.
Let’s take a closer look at the habitat, appearance and feeding behavior of the frilled shark.
While very little is known about the frilled shark, it is thought to live in the deepest, darkest
parts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and only come to the surface when sick or injured. It is
believed that they are able to survive at a depth of about 5,150 feet but are more commonly found in
waters 50-200 feet deep. There is a small but convincing body of research that suggests the frilled
shark is a vertical migrator, moving from deep to deeper waters on a regular basis.
While this mysterious beast is called a shark, many believe it looks more like an eel with a long,
slim body about five to six feet in length. It has a head that’s triangular in shape similar to that of a
poisonous snake and large oval eyes giving off a strange and frightening green light. The unusual
creature has six pairs of gills (鳃), each with the frilled edges for which the sea monster was named.
The feeding behavior of the frilled shark has never been studied or even observed by human
eyes. However, it is almost certainly a predator (食肉动物). After all, researchers believe, why else
would it need 300 sharp teeth?! Scientists theorize that these dangerous teeth make it possible for a
slow moving fish like the frilled shark to catch squid and other deep-sea creatures.
As research into the habitat, appearance and feeding behavior of this strange creature continues,
there’s a good chance that we will gain a full understanding of this unusual species one day. Until
then, the frilled shark remains one of the great mysteries of the deep.
61. What can we infer about the frilled shark from Paragraph 2?
A. It is hard to see them in a healthy state on the ocean surface.
B. They migrate from ocean to ocean in the deepest waters.
C. They usually live in oceans at a depth of over 5,150 feet.
D. It is a rare species threatened by human activities.
62. Where can you find the information about the shark’s appearance?
A. In Paragraph 2. B. In Paragraph 3. C. In Paragraph 4. D. In Paragraph 5.
63. The frilled shark got its name because of______.
A. the place where it was found B. the place where it was born
C. its appearance D. its character
64. How do scientists know the frilled shark is a predator?
A. From its behavior. B. From its habitat.
C. From its teeth. D. From its gills.
65. What is the author’s attitude to solving the mystery of the frilled shark?
A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Disapproving. D. Optimistic.
D
A school in North Carolina has banned skinny jeans and other excessively (过度地) tight-fitting
trousers unless worn with a top or dress that must cover the bottom in its entirety. The school board
introduced the ban because it says some girls were bullied (欺凌) when wearing tight-fitting trousers.
Some parents think the ban is ridiculous and that more time should be spent on monitoring student
behavior instead of banning clothing choices.
As a former teacher and a current parent of two girls, I have my opinion on the issue.
Non-educators often seem to think “monitoring student behavior” is something as easy as putting on
a pair of shoes, and that if teachers “just did their jobs better,” 99-100% of student discipline issues
would never happen. The truth is that teachers can’t possibly monitor and control every single
moment of a student’s life during the school day.
This is where my view as a parent of girls comes in. Girls of middle-high school age are dealing
with their own bodily development, what TV and movies tell them a girl should dress and look like
“to be pretty”, and what other girls at their age say they should look like and wear “to be pretty.”
This means there isn’t a flawless outfit (套装) that some other girl won’t find “something wrong
with” and then make fun of. Assuming we’re talking about girls in public schools, what they wear
should be comfortable but also follow common sense. Wearing something that’s too tight probably
isn’t that comfortable, but if it is, having some way to cover up certain areas accented (突出) by the
tight clothing is a good idea.
Modern fashions might disagree, but psychology tells us tight clothes only cause a distraction.
School isn’t a fashion show. It’s a place of learning with some social interaction, and for those
things to happen and also succeed, everyone needs to work together.
66.Why are some parents against the school ban?
A. It is not the proper time to introduce it. B. It will influence student behavior.
C. It is none of the school’s business. D. It will put girls at a disadvantage.
67. Which of the following about “monitoring student behavior” would the author agree with?
A. It is unfair to students. B. It’s a difficult job for teachers.
C. It can solve most student discipline issues. D. Teachers shouldn’t devote much time to
it.
68. What does the underline word “flawless” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. tight B. perfect C. casual D. comfortable
69. What should be the principle of dressing for school girls in the author’s opinion?
A. Modesty. B. Fashion. C. Neatness. D. Prettiness.
70. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How to monitor students’ behavior? B. How to prevent campus bullying?
C. Should parents require their children what to wear?
D. Should “skinny jeans” be banned in school?

Reading with Rover is a reading program where children read to dogs. In addition to Reading
with Rover, which is based on Washington state, there are many such reading programs around the
country. The goal of all these programs is to improve the reading skills of children with reading
problems by having children read to dogs.
When reading aloud in the classroom, many children with reading problems and poor reading
skills feel frightened. They have little confidence in themselves and are afraid of being laughed at.
They may also feel that reading is difficult, boring and stressful. However, when children read to
dogs, reading becomes a fun and non-stressful experience for both the children and the dogs. Dogs
don’t criticize, judge or laugh at the children’s reading ability.
Reading with Rover and other programs like it have been a huge success, resulting in improved
reading skills for a significant number of participating children with reading problems. In addition to
making learning enjoyable, when children read to dogs, it increases their sense of worth and
self-confidence.
As part of the Reading with Rover program, the children read to dogs that are registered therapy
dogs. These are dogs that have been trained and tested. Along with their owners, these dogs have
become registered therapy teams.
A recent research study was conducted by the University of California, which concluded that
when children read to dogs, it can increase their reading skills by thirty percent.
Children who took part in this study remarked, “I feel relaxed when I am reading to a dog
because I am having fun.” “The dogs don’t care if you read really badly so you just keep going.”
When children read to dogs and improve their reading skills, it becomes just another example of
how wonderful dogs are and how important they are to our society.

72.Why does reading become a fun and non-stressful experience when children read to dogs?

Dear Chris,
It’s a pleasure to receive your email asking me about my elective courses and I’d love to share
them with you.
You probably know that students who will graduate in 2020 for the first time in Tianjin are free
to choose three from six core subjects—history, geography, politics, physics, chemistry and
biology—for the college entrance examination. Among these six, I have selected physics, biology
and politics.
I have several reasons to choose physics. First, physics has always been my passion. I have
gained pure joy observing physical phenomena and discovering the constant natural laws behind the
ever-changing world and have learned to think in a national logical way. Besides, since I have
decided to pursue my future career in computer science, studying physics from high school will lay a
foundation for that. Finally，I believe with a sound knowledge in physics I will be able to contribute
my best to the development of science and technology in China. What courses have you chosen? I am curious about your high school life in America. Write to
me soon.
Yours,
Li Jin
