第三部分 阅读理解(共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分)

A
Owning a dog is associated with a significantly lower risk of heart disease and death,
according to a comprehensive new study published by a team of Swedish researchers on Friday in
the journal Scientific Reports.
The scientists followed 3.4 million people over the course of 12 years and found that adults
who lived alone and owned dogs were 33 percent less likely to die during the study than adults
who lived alone without dogs. In addition, the single adults with dogs were 36 percent less likely
to die from heart disease.
“Dog ownership was especially prominent as a protective factor in people living alone, who
are a group reported previously to be at higher risk of heart disease and death than those living in a
multi person household，”Mwenya Mubanga, a Ph.D. student at Uppsala University in Uppsala,
Sweden, and the lead junior author of the study, said in a statement announcing its findings. The
link between dog ownership and lower mortality(死亡率) was less pronounced in adults who lived
either with family members or partners, but still present, according to the study.“Perhaps a dog
may stand in as an important family member in the single household，”Mubanga added.“Another
interesting finding was that owners of dogs which were intended originally for hunting were most
protected.”
The study, which is the largest to date on the health relations of owning a dog, suggested that
one of the reasons why dog owners may have a lower risk of mortality and heart disease was that
dog owners walked more.“These kinds of epidemiological( 流 行 病 学 的 ) studies look for
associations in large populations but do not provide answers to whether and how dogs could
protect their owners from heart disease，”Tove Fall, a senior author of the study and a professor
at Uppsala University, said in a statement.
“We know that dog owners in general have a higher level of physical activity, which could be
one explanation for the observed results，”Fall added.“Other explanations include increased well
being and social contacts or effects of the dog on the bacterial microbiome(微生物菌群) in the
owner.”Fall added that because all participants of the study were Swedish, the results most closely
apply to dog owners in Sweden or other“European populations with similar culture regarding dog ownership”．
56．Why did the researchers do the study related to 3.4 million people’s health and the dogs?
A．To help Europeans.
B．To find their association.
C．To protect unhealthy adults.
D．To reduce the risk of heart disease.
57．What does the underlined word “prominent” probably mean in Para.3?
A．Universal. B．Confusing.
C．Appealing. D．Important.

Visa last year offered up to 50 small businesses a $10，000 reward to go cashless. Though it
is still too early to know what will happen to the businesses that won the competition (Visa has not
announced the winners yet), the key arguments in favor of cashabandonment are that it would
lead to more efficient service and carry a lower risk of theft. A recent New York Times article
covered restaurants in Manhattan that take plastic only, and supporters are looking forward to an
entirely cashless society.
Doing away with cash may indeed sound appealing. Supporters often note that China and
India have already gone further in this direction than the United States. But a few drawbacks are
obvious: Card companies such as Visa charge merchants high processing fees, the risk of fraud(诈
骗) balances out the lower risk of theft, older consumers may not wish to make the change, and
consumers will lose yet more privacy (large companies will have the ability to track every
purchase made). Perhaps the less obvious one is that a cashless system will exclude the poor and
the nearpoor, for many poor people don’t have credit cards or bank accounts.
Conditions in the U．S. are nowhere near suitable for entering a cashless society; too many
people would be left behind. Your young friend may be happy to accept money via PayPal or
another app, your cafe may use an iPad instead of a cash register, but landlords in lowincome
areas still prefer money orders. It’s convenient for consumers to charge, say, an outing to the nail
salon—but when you add the tip to your credit card bill, it may never make it to the worker.
58．Why did Visa hold the competition?
A．To support small businesses.
B．To attract more users.
C．To promote cashabandonment.
D．To reward successful businesses.
59．Which is the disadvantage of a cashless society according to the author?
A．The risk of fraud is lower than that of theft.
B．Consumers’ privacy has more potential risks.
C．More plastic is used and causes resource waste.
D．The poor and the nearpoor are unwilling to use cash.
60．Who would probably prefer to be paid in cash?
A．A landlord in a developed area.
B．A cafe owner.
C．A young person.
D．A worker in a nail salon.

Don’t get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promised to be
studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A UI(University of Iowa) study found teenagers are
far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings
may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the
longterm payoff of studying.
“For the teenager, the rewards are attractive，” says Professor Jatin Vaidya, an author of the
study. “They draw adolescents. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even
when a behavior is no longer in a teenager’s best interest to continue, he will still go on. That’s
because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults.”For parents, that means limiting distraction so teenagers can make better choices. Take the
homework and social media dilemma for example: At 9 p ． m., shut off everything except a
computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, the researchers advise. “I’m not saying they
shouldn’t be allowed to have access to technology，” Vaidya says. “But some help in netting their
concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse(冲动)control skills.”
In their study, Vaidya and coauthor Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe
teenagers are impulsive, make bad decisions, and engage in risky behavior because the frontal
lobes( 额 叶 ) of their brains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wonder whether
something more fundamental is going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of
higherlevel reasoning.
“We wanted to try to understand how the brain’s reward system changes from childhood to
adulthood ， ” says Vaidya, who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than
decisionmaking. “We’ve been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and
whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an underdeveloped frontal lobe，” he adds.
For their study, the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16, and 40 adults, aged 20
and 35 to participate.
In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological aspects of their
results.
61．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.
B．Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.
C．Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.
D．The initial rush of texting is less attractive for adolescents than the longterm payoff of
studying.
62．Which statement agrees with Jatin Vaidya’s idea?
A．Children should have access to the Internet.
B．Children need help in refocusing their attention.
C．Parents should help children in making decisions.
D．The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.
63．What result does teenagers’ brain underdevelopment lead to?
A．Making good decisions.
B．Escaping risky behavior.
C．Joining in dangerous actions.
D．Doing things after some thought.
64．How did the researchers carry out their study?
A．By examining adults’ brain.
B．By examining teenagers’ brain.
C．By building the brain’s reward system.
D．By making a comparison of brain examinations.
D
I’m a storyteller. And I would like to tell you a few personal stories.
I grew up reading British and American children’s books. When I began to write, I wrote
exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my characters were white and blueeyed, they ate
apples and talked a lot about the weather, despite the fact that I lived in Nigeria. We ate mangoes,
and we never talked about the weather. Because all I had read were books in which characters
were foreign, I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in
them. Things changed when I discovered African books. Because of writers like Chinua Achebe
and Camara Laye, I went through a_mental_shift in my idea of literature. I realized that people
like me—a girl with skin of the color of chocolate, could also exist in literature. I started to write
about things I recognized. So what the discovery of African writers did for me was this: It saved
me from having a single story of what books were.
The year I turned eight, we got a new houseboy Fide from a nearby rural village. The only
thing my mother told us about him was that his family was very poor. And when I didn’t finish my
dinner, my mother would say, “Finish your food! Don’t you know? People like Fide’s family have nothing”. So I felt enormous pity for Fide’s family. Then one Saturday, we went to his village to
visit, and his mother showed us a beautifully patterned basket that his brother had made. I was
astonished. It had not occurred to me that anybody in his family could actually make something.
Their poverty was my single story of them.
Years later, when I left Nigeria to go to university in the United States, my American
roommate asked where I had learned to speak English so well, and was confused when I said that
Nigeria happened to have English as its official language. What struck me was this: She had felt
sorry for me even before she saw me. My roommate had a single story of Africa: a single story of
catastrophe.
Of course, Africa is a continent full of catastrophes. But there are other stories that are not
about catastrophe, and it is very important, and it is just as important, to talk about them. The
consequence of the single story is this: It robs people of dignity. It makes our recognition of our
equal humanity difficult. It emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar.
So what if my mother had told us that Fide’s family was poor but hardworking? What if we
had an African television network that broadcast diverse African stories all over the world? What
if my roommate knew about my Nigerian publisher, Muhtar Bakare, a remarkable man who left
his job in a bank to follow his dream and start a publishing house? What if my roommate knew
about my friend Funmi Iyanda, a fearless woman who hosts a TV show, and is determined to tell
the stories that we prefer to forget?
My Nigerian publisher and I have just started a nonprofit organization called Farafina Trust,
and we have big dreams of building libraries and providing books for state schools, and also of
organizing lots of workshops in reading and writing, for all the people who are eager to tell our
many stories.
Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can
also repair that broken dignity. When we realize that there is never a single story about any place,
we regain a kind of paradise.
65．What is probably people’s first impression of the writer when it comes to her nationality?
A．She mainly eats apples and mangoes.
B．She may not speak fluent English.
C．She comes from a place free of catastrophes.
D．She prefers stories based on foreign characters.
66．The underlined phrase “a mental shift” in Paragraph 2 refers to the writer’s ________．
A．discovery of African books with characters of her skin color
B．acquaintance with local African writers like Chinua Achebe
C．realization that not only foreign characters exist in literature
D．change that she started to write about things she recognized
67．How many personal stories has the writer mentioned in the passage?
A．Two. B．Three.
C．Four. D．Five.
68．The writer uses several single stories in the passage to illustrate that the single story ________．
A．matters in keeping listeners well informed
B．tends to convey a prejudiced idea to listeners
C．gets increasingly popular among storytellers
D．fails to produce a lasting effect on listeners
69．The writer lists many “what ifs” in Paragraph 6 to ________．
A．emphasize our differences rather than similarities
B．indicate the way that stories are used to break dignity
C．show the hardship of recognizing our equal humanity
D．stress the importance of telling diverse, balanced stories
70．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．The Danger of the Single Story
B．The Importance of Telling Stories
C．The Single Stories That Matter
D．Stories That Can Repair Broken Dignity第四部分 任务型阅读(共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分)

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Country music has never really been a popular music type in Southern California.It’s as if
country music were restricted to specific areas, mainly in the South and Midwest.
I accept that today’s country music is not as good as it once was.Since 2012, it has really
gone downhill and has become more pop music than anything else, which is a shame because
there were many great country musicians that produced amazing music.
Here in SoCal, country music is not the mainstream, but quite the opposite.If you like country
music, it’s likely that you will get looked down on and lectured on how country music is no
good.You may find a few brave people that openly admit to liking country music, and it is with
them that you can complain there are not enough country concerts nearby.
It’s rare to find younger folks that genuinely enjoy country music in SoCal, mainly because
they are not really exposed to it.You either listen to it because your family likes it or you stumble
upon(意外发现) it one day when you are flipping through the stations looking for a good song and
get hooked.Both of these are rare occurrences, mainly because even if your family likes country
music, it doesn’t necessarily mean you do.Besides, the chance of stopping on a country station
here is probably less than 25%.
I think it is important to show appreciation of country music, mainly because it is slowly
disappearing.What’s more, it is a fundamental part of American history and culture.If you were to
look back on the roots of country music, you would find a blend of different elements such as folk,
jazz, the blues, and rock.It is also one of the last forms of storytelling. Country music started off as
a way to tell a story or an event, like the blues and folk music.Country music is one of the oldest
music types still around and we owe it to ourselves to find appreciation of it and what it has to
offer.
I’m not saying you have to love it, but at least recognize that it has character, like most things
in the past.We don’t have to like it, but it’s important to learn about it.So give it a chance and
listen to some of the classics or really any piece of country music before 2012.You might find
yourself pleasantly surprised.

81.请认真阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
My friend Maria and I got our degrees at the same time—hers in Engineering, mine in
Mathematics.These subjects, in case you aren’t aware, are tough! There were classes we really had
to struggle with, fight to get through, and survived only by digging our fingers in with everything
we had.Along the way, many of the people who started at the same time dropped out, changed
majors, etc.They quit.Maria and I didn’t and we have degrees to show for it.
Maria and I came up with a saying，“We’re not quitters, we’re failures！” We’d rather fail a class three times and eventually pass it than quit and resign ourselves to the idea that we “just
can’t get it”．That kind of sob story defeatism has to be removed from your mind.While there are
things that you can’t do—like flying via pixie dust—you can have most of the things you want in
life, but only if you treat failure as a part of the learning process.If you see failure as an end, that
makes you a quitter.
【写作内容】
1．用约 30 个词概括上述信息的主要内容；
2．用约 120 个词以“We’re not quitters, we’re failures！”为话题阐述你对该篇文章的理解。

One possible version：It is common that some people can accomplish very tough tasks while others can’t. Not that
they are cleverer than others, but that they are never willing to give up.
This phenomenon teaches us a valuable lesson. In reality, no one can always avoid
difficulties in life, but the results are quite different. The difference lies in people’s attitude. Some
people choose to face hardships bravely. They are determined to reach their destination however
many times they fail. In other words, they would be failures rather than quitters. Therefore, it’s
just their perseverance that helps them make it in the end. Others may easily give in to whatever
obstacle they meet, which can lead to nothing but failure.
From my understanding, keeping on doesn ’ t necessarily mean success, but giving up
absolutely means failure. If we can adopt such a positive attitude, we are bound to achieve more
than we expected.
