第三部分： 阅读理解(共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分)
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Europe's most beautiful places
Europe is an amazingly varied place. The old continent's historic cities and its
Mediterranean beaches draw many of its visitors, but the best destinations are
sometimes its more remote corners, known mainly to locals and a few brave travelers.
Lake Inari, Finland
High above the Arctic Circle and close to Finland's border with Russia, Lake Inari
is a yearround paradise. Dark, snowy winters make it ideal for catching a glimpse
of the aurora borealis.
Its treelined banks glow a burnt orange during autumn and in summer, you can
swim in its chilly shallows. The center of local Sámi culture, it's as remote and
traditional as Finland gets.
Unst, Shetland Isles, Scotland
The most northerly occupied island of the British Isles, Unst is a wild, rugged
place where seas crash into the dramatic Muckle Flugga sea stacks.
The latter are a harbor for gannets( 塘 鹅 )during breeding season, with
birdwatchers also treated to the sight of searching skuas(贼鸥)．
Yorkshire Dales, England
Its narrow lanes lined with drystone walls cry out to cyclists seeking marvelous
adventures, while its moody hills continually attract walkers, no matter the weather.
Geological wonders such as the limestone spectacles of Malham Cove and Gordale
Scar make it perhaps the most beautiful part of the British Isles.
Loire Valley, France
Chateau de Chambord and Chateau de Chenonceau are the most famous, filled with
classic viewing towers, formal gardens and boating lakes.
Throw in a tour of its graperies, where some of the world's finest wines are
produced, and its glamour is impossible to ignore.
( )56. According to the passage ， the best destinations in Europe are
________．
A. historic cities and Mediterranean beaches
B. known to people around the world
C. familiar to only a handful of people
D. similar to each other with no obvious differences
( )57. If you are a cyclist interested in adventures, you'd better choose
________．
A. Unst, Shetland Isles, Scotland B. Yorkshire Dales, England
C. Loire Valley, France D. Lake Inari, Finland
B
A widelyused gas that is currently produced from fossil fuels can instead be
made by an artificial leaf that uses only sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and
which could eventually be used to develop a sustainable liquid fuel alternative to
petrol.
The carbonneutral(碳中和)device sets a new standard in the field of solar
fuels, after researchers at the University of Cambridge demonstrated that it can
directly produce the gas—called syngas(合成气)—in a sustainable and simple way.
Rather than running on fossil fuels, the artificial leaf is powered by sunlight,
although it still works efficiently on cloudy and overcast days. And unlike the current
industrial processes for producing syngas, the leaf does not release any additional
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The results are reported in the journal Nature
Materials.
Syngas is currently made from a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide(―氧化碳)，
and is used to produce a range of products, such as fuels, medicines, plastics and
fertilizers.
“You may not have heard of syngas itself but every day, you consume products
that were created using it. Being able to produce it sustainably would be a critical
step in closing the global carbon cycle and establishing a sustainable chemical and
fuel industry ，” said senior author Professor Erwin Reisner from Cambridge's
Department of Chemistry, who has spent seven years working towards this goal.
The device Reisner and his colleagues produced is inspired by photosynthesis—the
natural process by which plants use the energy from sunlight to turn carbon dioxide
into food.
On the artificial leaf, two light absorbers, similar to the molecules in plants
that harvest sunlight, are combined with a catalyst(催化剂) made from the naturally
abundant element cobalt(钴)．
When the device is dipped in water, one light absorber uses the catalyst to produce
oxygen. The other carries out the chemical reaction that reduces carbon dioxide and
water into carbon monoxide and hydrogen, forming the syngas mixture.
As an added bonus, the researchers discovered that their light absorbers work
even under the low levels of sunlight on a rainy or overcast day.
“ This means you are not limited to using this technology just in warm
countries, or only operating the process during the summer months，” said PhD student
Virgil Andrei, first author of the paper. “ You could use it from dawn until
dusk, anywhere in the world.”
( )58. With the artificial leaf, we can ________．
A. produce syngas in a sustainable and simple way
B. prevent carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere
C. make products like medicines, plastics and fertilizers out of fossil fuels
D. harvest abundant sunlight through petrol and close the global carbon cycle
( )59. For the syngas mixture to be formed, we might as well ________．
A. get rid of one light absorber B. block the contact with sunlight
C. provide a special catalyst D. keep the artificial leaf far away from water
( )60. What can we learn from what PhD student Virgil Andrei said?
A. Syngas has already been in widespread use around the world.
B. The artificial leaf is powered by fossil fuels rather than sunlight.
C. The artificial leaf doesn't depend too much on the weather or location.
D. Syngas is currently made from a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
C
For some people, higher education is not just a goal in life, but also an
expectation. In the United States, if your parents attended a college or university,
there is a good chance that you will, too. Even if your parents did not go to college,
you still have a good chance of completing higher education if your family is wealthy.
But your chances are reduced if you come from a needy family, a community with
limited educational resources or you simply have no one to follow as an example.
Helping those in need is one of the main ideas behind a strategy of behavioral
science called nudge theory or nudging. Nudging is a way of changing people's behavior
through indirect suggestion and by supporting positive actions.
A growing number of U．S. colleges and universities look to nudging as way to
support poor, minority and firstgeneration students. They also are using it to
increase overall graduation rates. Two common forms of nudging are emails to students
and text messages to their mobile phones. Schools and other educational organizations
keep in contact with students this way, offering advice and help when needed.
However, Alejandra Acosta—a higher education policy expert at New America—notes
that there are several qualities a nudge campaign must possess in order to be
successful.
Acosta says messages must be timely, meaning they reach college students well
before the date by which a student is required to take action. Additionally, nudges
should be written clearly and provide as much information as possible. If students
start to struggle in class, school officials should not just message them, saying
they should seek academic support. The message should give information about what
kinds of support the college or university offers and exactly how the student can
make use of them. That is why nudges should possess interactive qualities, Acosta
says. For example, students should be able to ask questions of school officials or
be directed to a website for more information. In addition, colleges and universities
must ensure their support services are in place and working as best they can.
When nudges work, they can do a lot of good. In 2018, a nonprofit group launched
a nudging campaign at four U．S. community colleges. They worked with nearly 10，
000 firstyear students at three such colleges in Ohio and one in Virginia. A recent
study found that older and minority students who agreed to receive these nudges were
16 to 20 percent more likely to continue into their second year than those who did
not.
( )61. Who is most likely to receive and complete higher education according
to the passage?
A. Tony, whose father is the only breadwinner in the family.
B. Jimmy, whose mother is a worker in a small factory.
C. Betty, whose grandmother is a housemaid of a famous university professor.
D. Cathy, whose parents failed to attend college but succeeded in starting a big
company.
( )62. What can we know about nudging?
A. It is anchored in psychological science.
B. It is a way to improve people's mind.
C. It offers concrete and direct advice.
D. It helps students via emails and text messages.
( )63. Which adjectives can be used to describe ideal message qualities of
nudging?
A. Timely, practical and interactive. B. Timely, interactive and sustainable.
C. Immediate, authentic and consistent. D. Immediate, interactive and
permanent.
( )64. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. The problem with higher education. B. A way for colleges to support students.
C. The popularity of nudging campaign. D. A national campaign dealing with
poverty.
D
Liu, the farmer, sat at the door of his oneroom house. It was a warm evening
in late February, and in his thin body he felt the coming of spring. How he knew that
the time had now come when life began to move in the soil? He could not have told
himself. Most of all，in any other year than this he might have pointed to his wheat
fields, where he planted wheat in the winter when the land was not needed for rice,
and where, when spring was moving into summer, he planted the good rice, for rice
was his chief crop. But the land told nothing, this year. There was no wheat on it,
for the flood had covered it long after wheat should have been planted, and it lay
there cracked and like clay but newly dried.
Well, on such a day as this, if he had his buffalo(水牛) and his plow(犁) as he
had always had in other years, he would have gone out and plowed up that cracked soil.
He ached to plow it up and make it look like a field again, yes, even though he had
not so much as one seed to put in it. But he had no buffalo. If anyone had told him
that he would eat his own water buffalo that plowed the good land for him, he would
have called that man idiot. Yet it was what he had done. He had eaten his own water
buffalo, he and his wife and his parents and his four children, they had all eaten
the buffalo together.
But what else could they do on that dark winter's day when the last of their store
of grain was gone, when the trees were cut and sold, when he had sold everything,
even the little they had saved from the flood, and there was nothing left except the
shabby house they had and the worn clothes they wore? Was there sense in removing
the coat from one's back to feed one's belly? On that day when he had seen the faces
of his old parents set as though dead, on that day when he had heard the crying of
his children and seen his little daughter dying, such a despair had seized him as
made him like a man without his reason, so that he had gathered all his strength and
he had done what he said he never would; he had taken the kitchen knife and gone out
and killed his own beast. When he did it, even in his despair, he screamed, for it
was as though he killed his own brother. To him it was the last sacrifice.
__(68)__ It would have taken them all except that in the great pools lying
everywhere, which were left from the flood, there were shrimps(小虾)，and these they
had eaten raw and were still eating, although they were all sick and would not get
well. In the last day or so his wife had crawled out and dug a few weeds. But there
was no fuel and so they also were eaten raw. But the bitterness was good after the
tasteless flesh of the raw shrimps. Yes, spring was coming.
He sat on heavily, looking out over his land. If he had his buffalo back, if he
had his plow that they had burned for fuel. But now he was comforted by nothing.
And he looked, hopeless, into the barren(贫瘠的) spring.
( )65. Why didn't Liu know the coming of spring according to Paragraph 1?
A. Because he was too old and weak. B. Because the rice failed to come up.
C. Because the barren field told nothing. D. Because the flood was still in
progress.
( )66. The underlined word “idiot” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
________．
A. hero B. fool C. genius D. idol
( )67. What can be inferred from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A. The hard work of ploughing the cracked soil ached Liu.
B. The crying and dying families added to Liu's economic burden.
C. Liu removed his coat to feed his belly but found it useless.
D. Killing the buffalo for food was the last thing that Liu would do.
( )68. Which of the following sentences best suits the blank in Paragraph
4?
A. Yet. It was not enough.
B. Well, that was sorrow for a man.
C. That was what the winter's famine had taken from them.
D. That sacrifice made him realize the only comfort left was to die on their own
land.
( )69. What's the writer's tone in writing this story?
A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Sympathetic.
( )70. Which of the following serves as the best title for this passage?
A. Barren Spring B. Desperate Farmers
C. Terrible Flood D. Horrible Famine

Artificial intelligence in business
Lie detectors are not widely used in business, but Ping An, a Chinese insurance
company, thinks it is a great tool. The company lets customers apply for loans through
its app. Potential borrowers answer questions about their income and plans for
repayment by video, which monitors around 50 tiny facial expressions to determine
whether they are telling the truth. The program, enabled by artificial
intelligence(AI), helps identify customers who require further check.
Instead of relying on rough estimates, cleverer and speedier AI powered
predictions promise to improve the efficiency in business. Leroy Merlin, a French
homeimprovement retailer(零售商)，now uses AI to take in past sales data and other
information that could affect sales, such as weather forecasts, in order to stock
shelves more effectively. That has helped it reduce its inventory(存货总值) by 8%
even as sales have risen by 2%.
Until now AI has been beneficial mainly to the technology department. Most of
today's leading tech firms, such as Google and Amazon in the West and Alibaba and
Baidu in China, would not be as big and successful without AI for product
recommendations, targeted advertising and forecasting demand.
The path ahead is exciting but dangerous. Around 85% of companies think AI will
offer a competitive advantage, but only one in 20 is “extensively” employing it
today. One difficult issue for companies will be timing. Companies are struggling
to figure out what to spend money on. If they invest huge sums in AI early on, they
run the risk of overcommitting themselves or paying large amounts for worthless
startups. But if they wait too long, they may leave themselves open to destruction
from upstarts, as well as from competitors.
Some may have been misled by enthusiastic media reports，believing AI to be a
magic stick that can be installed as easily as a piece of Microsoft software, says
Gautam Schroff of Tata Consultancy Services, an Indian firm.
Bosses of nontech companies in a broad range of industries are starting to worry
that AI could affect or even destroy them, and have been buying up promising young
tech firms to ensure they do not fall behind.
A longerterm concern is the way AI creates a virtuous circle(良性循环) or
“flywheel” effect, allowing companies that embrace it to operate more efficiently,
produce more data, improve their services, attract more customers and offer lower
prices. That sounds like a good thing, but it could also lead to more monopoly(垄
断) power.
Artificial intelligence in business
The (71)______ of
AI in some businesses
●AI is employed by Ping An to find out (72)______ who are
potential borrowers by monitoring around 50 tiny facial
expressions.
●With cleverer and speedier AIpowered programs, a French
homeimprovement retailer makes his business more

information, such as weather forecasts.
●Leading tech firms, such as Google and Amazon, (74)______
their success to AI, which helps them with product
recommendations, targeted advertising and forecasting
demand.
(75)______ for only 5%
of
companies employing
AI widely
●It is quite difficult for companies to grasp the proper
opportunity as they need to (76) ________ the benefits
against the risks.
●Misinformation leads many companies to believe that they
can have easy (77)______ to AI.
(78)______
nontech companies
hold towards AI
●Nontech companies are afraid of the (79)______ AI poses
to them.
●However, they view the purchase of promising young tech
firms as a (80)______ of its leading position.
Conclusion AI is to create a virtuous circle for companies as long as
it deals with its monopoly problem.

The film Better Days is bringing attention to school bullying(欺凌). It's a topic
that few Chinese movies have talked about before.
The movie is adapted from the Web novel Young and Beautiful. It tells the story
of a high school student Chen Nian, who is bullied on campus and later gets caught
up in a murder case. The movie, starring Zhou Dongyu and Jackson Yee, was a hit,
bringing new attention to reallife bullying.
Since last year, China has approved the detention(批准逮捕) of 3，407 students
for bullying and charged 5，750, according to the data provided by the Supreme People's
Procuratorate(最高人民检察院) in May.
However, it is not easy to solve this problem. As Chinese sociologist Li Yinhe
wrote on Sina Weibo, the movie shows how complex social situations can be for teenagers.
Schools, teachers, parents, police and the government must work together to end
bullying.
【写作内容】 1. 用约 30 个词概括上文主要内容；2. 用约 120 个词发表你的观点，内容

One possible version：
A Chinese film Better Days has stirred heated discussions on campus bullying.
While many bullying cases have been cleared up in China, joint efforts must be made
to end it. (30 words)
There's no denying that campus bullying not only brings harm to society, but also
has negative impacts on the victimized students. It'll lead to them suffering from
abuse, even death, causing permanent damage to their selfesteem. Meanwhile, it
results in wrong values and beliefs of bullies and bystanders, which will reinforce
violent behavior.
The problem of campus bullying, if not properly dealt with, will create a vicious
circle. Violence films should be banned from being broadcast on campus, thus avoiding
possible bad influence on students. The public are to establish a cooperative and
friendly working model, setting good examples to teenagers. As for students ourselves,
we'd better help more peers realize its damage. Let's take action together to stop
bullying. (120 words)

W: How lucky you are! The nearest shop I can go to is about 30 minutes' drive
away.

W: I hate to say it, but Jack isn't doing well in the movie.
M: Well, I think he is only playing a different type of role. My sister still
thinks he is the best.

M: OK, time to come off duty and go home.
W: But I haven't finished my report about the newly opened restaurant.
M: Well, if you carry on working like that, you'll end in hospital.

M: What are your plans for tomorrow morning?
W: Umm, I'm going to do some washing first.
M: Poor you! While you're doing the washing, I'll be having breakfast in bed.

M: Oh, gosh! Another traffic jam on the highway!
W: I'm afraid we'll be late for picking up Tom.
M: No worry. I'm sure he'll be waiting for us at the school gate.
W: Hope so. I wonder if there is an accident.
M: No, I just checked my mobile phone. Too many cars are trying to get off at
the City Exit.
W: Well, we're going to be stuck for a while.
M: Then, how about Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven?

M: How much freedom do your parents give you?
W: Quite a lot. I mean I'm allowed out most evenings. Weekdays, I have to be back
by 9：30 pm.
But on weekends I can stay out till 11：00 pm.
M: What about money? Do you have any pocket money?
W: Yes, my parents give me two pounds a week.
M: Is there anything you're eager to do but your parents forbid you to?
W: Yes, I want to go on holiday this coming summer on my own, but they say I have
to wait till I'm 17.
M: Do you think that's unfair?
W: I don't know... I don't see how a year or two is going to make much difference.

W: Two minutes left before our class ends. If you have any questions, feel free
to ask.
M: Excuse me, Mrs Black.
W: Yes?
M: I'm confused about what we've learnt today.
W: You don't understand the whole or just part of it?
M: Oh, just part of it.
W: That's not so bad. Let's see what trouble you have and work it out together.
M: Could you please explain to me why the prices will go up under such
circumstances?
W: Yes, I'd love to, but I'm afraid we don't have enough time to explain it in
detail now. Why not refer to Chapter 3 of our textbook on your own? If you still can't
get a clue, then come to my office this afternoon.
M: OK. Thanks!
W: You are welcome.

W: Hey, taxi!
M: Where to?
W: Well, I am going to the National Museum of Art.
M: Sure. Get in. Er... this is your first time to the city, right?
W: Yeah. How did you know?
M: Well, you can tell tourists from a mile away in this city, because they walk
down the street and look around curiously.
W: Was it that obvious?
M: Well...
W: Oh, before I forget, er... can you recommend any good restaurants downtown?
M: Erm... well, Shanghai Restaurant is wonderful.
W: Oh?
M: It's not as cheap as other places as I know, but the food is delicious.
W: Sounds great! How can I get there from the museum?
M: Well, buses are always crowded by then, but you can take underground right
outside the museum. There are taxies, too. But they don't pass by the museum that
often.
W: OK. Thanks.

Problems concerning overweight children have been recently gaining increasing
attention. It's no big secret that children like sweets, snacks and fast food. Fast
food restaurants make fatty meals even more popular by including free toys like dolls
and cars. However, there are healthy foods that children can enjoy. Instead of
chocolate bars and sweet cookies, apple pies are a delicious choice for midday snacks.
Following the suggestions in the food pyramid is an easy way to make sure that a child
has all of the nutrition he or she needs.
My next suggestion is exercise. While adults often have a strong will to force
themselves to exercise, kids usually would much rather sit in front of the television
and watch their favorite cartoons. Exercise may seem like a dull activity for children,
but it really can be enjoyable. Going for a bike ride, taking a walk around the
neighborhood or running around the playground are all fun ways for children to get
out and get moving. It's important to make things fun to get a child's attention and
arouse his or her interest.
Finally, it is extremely important for overweight children to stick to a healthy
lifestyle. Making a lifestyle change is something that children tend to put off. They
seem to be quite comfortable with where they are at now. But the reality is that if
they don't make the necessary changes now, it can show up later as a healthy problem.
So why wait? A little bit of adjustment now is well worth the results of better
health that children will gain later.
