第二部分： 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。
It is often said that "a picture is worth a thousand words." That Is certainly true of the
images of fleeting moments of nature submitted by international ecologists and students for
the British Ecological Society's (BES) annual photography competition. Here are a few of
2019's winning entries.
Red Night
Photographed by Roberto Garcia Roa, it was declared last year's overall winner. The
image captures both the beauty of the magnificent snake and its fear of human threats like
fires. The ecologist says, "During my visit to Madagascar, I had the pleasure of finding this
snake and photographing it. To offer a dramatic scene reflecting the conditions that these
snakes are suffering, I used an external red light as a source of light to. capture the
environment."
The Rhino's Annual Haircut
It was photographed by ecologist Molly Penny. The ongoing demand for rhino (犀牛)
horns has reduced the population to just 30,000 globally. To try to save the species, ecologists
in South Africa, home to over 20,000 southern white rhinos, have decided to saw off ( 锯掉)
it part of the animals' horns, which regrow every year. "The Rhino's Annual Haircut,"
captured beautifully in the black-and-white photo by Molly Penny from the University ofthe West of England, reduces the risk of the animals being cruelly murdered.
For the Love of Flamingos
Photographed by Peter Hudson, it captures a heart-shaped cloud of pink flamingos in
Kenya, which is truly a sight like none other. The ecologist says, "Flamingos are all legs and
necks but meanwhile beautiful and fascinating and I admit I have a deep passion for them,
so I was thrilled when, flying high over Lake Magadi, I watched this flock from themselves
into a heart shape.".
Flames in Flumes
Photographed by Nilanjan Chatterjee, it captures a water redstart waiting to catch an
insect near a small waterfall. It was the best overall student submission. The photographer
wanted to show the struggle the river birds are likely to face from the slowdown in water
flow due to planned dams in rivers across India.
36. What can we know about "Red Night"?
A. Roberto Garcia Roa suffered a lot to take it.
B. It describes a snake's suffering in the fires.
C. It won the first place in 2019 BES' photography competition.

37. What may be the topic of "The Rhino's Annual Haircut"?
A. The tips on saving an endangered rhino.
B. The cruelty of killing an endangered rhino.
C. The scene of taking part of a horn from a rhino.
D. The method of helping a rhino to grow a horn again.
38. Where was "For the Love of Flamingos" photographed?

B
Like many other students beginning graduate school, I was quickly charged with
responsibilities and had to find time for studying by letting goof many other things I valued.
Letting go of football and the violin was, however, self-defeating: it might have brought me
more time in the short term, but spending that extra time on work only' made me more
stressed and less productive.
Towards the end of the MSC (Master of Science) program ) started to lose my
motivation and curiosity for science and research, as well as my creativity. Spending somuch time and energy in the laboratory, and focusing all my attention on my thesis and
courses, made me feel down and almost totally uninterested in my field - not to mention
short-tempered and oversensitive in my personal communications.
Over time, I learnt from these experiences. When I started my PhD, I focused on
balancing academic success with personal time-off, and made personal happiness a priority
(首要事情) in my weekly schedule. My mentor (导师) and I discussed my work-life balance
early in my program, and we arrange our lab responsibilities accordingly.
I set boundaries for myself in new ways: 'rather than doing lab work all weekend, I'd
play football or the violin, or visit loved ones, before allowing myself to work fora few hours.
This was hard at first: I worried that it would affect my standing with my peers, and
superiors, but I had learnt from experiences that an overloaded schedule can drain (使疲劳)
you so much that you become unfocused and start making mistakes or forgetting important
details.
Since establishing a better work-life balance, I've been doing well in graduate school.
Outside the lab, I've been able to take up a few leadership positions at my university
because I'm not as stressed with my work. I serve as our department's student councilor and
am also vice-president academic in the Health Sciences Graduate Students' Association. My
advice is this: a healthy work-life balance isn't a luxury; it's a key part of success in
graduate programs.

Purdue University researchers have engineered flying robots that behave like
hummingbirds, trained by machine learning algorithms (计算程序) based on various
techniques the bird uses naturally every day. The robot would be able to fly better through
collapsed buildings to find trapped victims.
Even though such a robot can't see yet, it senses by touching surfaces. Each touch
changes an electric current, which the researchers realized that they could track. Xinyan
Deng, a professor, and her colleagues at Purdue have been trying to decode (破译)
hummingbird flight so that robots can fly where larger aircraft can't. Deng's group studied
hummingbirds themselves for many summers in Montana. They documented key
hummingbird actions, such as making a rapid 180-degree turn, and translated them to
computer algorithms that the robot could learn from when connected with a simulation(模拟操作)
Further study on the physics of insects and hummingbirds allowed Purdue researchers
to build robots smaller than hummingbirds--and even as small as insects-without
compromising the way they fly. The smaller the size, the greater the wing flapping frequency,
and the more efficiently they fly. The robots have 3D-printed bodies and wings made of
carbon fiber. The researchers have built one hummingbird robot weighing 12 grams--the
weight of the average adult hummingbird. The hummingbird robot can lift up to 27 grams.
Designing their robots with higher lift gives the researchers more room to eventually
add a battery and sensing technology, such as a-camera or GPS. Currently, the robot needs
to be tied to an energy source while It flies-but that won't be for much longer, the
researchers say. The robots could fly silently just as a real hummingbird does, making them
more ideal for covert (转换) operations.
Robotic hummingbirds would not only help with search-and-rescue tasks, but also
allow biologists to more reliably study hummingbirds In their natural environment through
the senses of a realistic robot. This work is part of Purdue's 1501° anniversary. This is one of
the four themes of the celebration's Ideas Festival, designed to show Purdue as an
intellectual center solving real-world issues.
46. The hummingbird robot could be helpful in searching for victims .
A. in a very wide area B. in a desert
C. in a dark place D. in the sea
47. What can we know about the hummingbird robot?
A. It is as light as an insect.
B. It can fly to any place.
C. It can see where to go.
D. The smaller it is, the better.
48. What is the disadvantage of the robotic hummingbird at present?
A. It barely lifts its weight.
B. It's not equipped with a battery.
C. It can't fly too high in the sky.
D. It produces a little noise outside.
49. Besides being useful in rescues, the hummingbird robot can help
A. biologists to study hummingbirds
B. biologists to study wildlifeC. transport dangerous goods
D. protect birds in the wild

We all have our bad days. No one is going to wake up each and every morning in a
cheery mood. Sometimes we all feel just a little bit grumpier (脾气暴躁的) than usual, and
that's just a part of being human. Yet once we get to the office, many in the workforce feel it
necessary to hide their emotions, whether they are in frustration, anger, or sadness.
Interestingly, a new study finds keeping one's behavior at the office authentic will result in
greater productivity and a better relationship with co-workers. In other words: act how you
feel, and don't fake it.
It's extremely common for the average workspace to preach an attitude of continuous
positivity. While this may be beneficial from the CEO's viewpoint, it just Isn't realistic when
applied to real people with real problems and daily hardships. That's why, the research
team have concluded, employees will actually feel better, work harder, and connect more
with their colleagues if they don't hide their feelings with a fake smile.
Over 2,500 working adults, from a variety of industries such as finance or engineering,
took part in this research via surveys. The questionnaires measured two distinct types of
on-the-job emotional regulation: surface acting and deep acting. Sur0lce acting means
faking happiness while interacting with other employees; and deep acting refers to actively
trying to change one's emotions and feelings in order to be more pleasant at work. The
study's authors were interested to see how common it is for working adults to regulate their
emotions while on the clock, and if so. why? What benefits are employees gaining from such
behavior?
After analyzing all of the survey responses, researchers identified four distinct types of
individuals who hide or regulate their emotions around co-workers. "Non-actors" rarely
hide their true feelings, and if they do, only to a very small extent. "Low actors" usually take
part in only slight deep and surface acting. "Deep actors" perform lots of deep acting and
low levels of surface acting, and "Regulators" exhibit high levels of both surface and deep
acting.
By far non-actors were the smallest identified group in the study. Regulators, or
employees who tend to hide their true feelings most often, are usually motivated by feelings
of self-interest. These people believe that by hiding their feelings they will gain access to
additional work resources and look good in front of their managers and co-workers. Deep
actors, on the other hand, are usually more motivated by "pro-social" factors. This means
they choose to hide their emotions because they believe it develops a healthier working
environment. Regulators are the most likely of the four to experience great emotional
tiredness and exhaustion. Meanwhile, deep actors tend to achieve improved well-being most
frequently.
50. Many office workers tend to
A. show their anger
B. behave naturally
C. focus on their jobs only
D. pretend to be happy51. What does the underlined word "preach" mean in the second paragraph?
A. Promote. B. Forbid. C. Change. D. Ignore
52. How was the study carried out?
A. By performing experiments.
B. By analyzing questionnaire data.
C. By taking field trips to offices.
D. By interviewing CEOs.
53. What do we know about "regulators"?
A. They are straightforward and like to help others.
B. They are more surface acting than deep acting.
C. They like to build an image that will benefit them.
D. They are self-interested and will do whatever it takes to succeed.
54. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A. "Non-actors" always hold back their true feelings on purpose.
B. "Low-actors" are, most likely to display their true feelings.
C. Hiding true feelings is sure to leave a good impression.
D. It is worthwhile to become deep actors in a way.

David Carter stands outside of the University of Texas' Austin campus every day,
offering the same warm greeting to students who pass by. "Hello, my friend!"
Carter, now 68, is a beggar who once attended the school from 1972 to L975. Then, he
was Involved in a crash and got serious injuries. He then had trouble with substance abuse
and faced mental health challenges, leading him to drop out before completing his degree.
"If I could change one thing about my past life, I would have stayed in school," Carter
says. He says he knows an education can change someone's quality of life.
Carter had to beg in the last few years fora simple reason. "I'm always flat broke," he
said. While most people would walk right by a beggar, Ryan Chandler, a junior at the
university, decided to stop and chat with Carter-and he learned a valuable lesson: You
can't judge a book by its cover.
"A lot of UT students see them as criminal vagrants(无业游民，乞丐) or think
that they are dangerous or unfriendly, and that idea just isn't true," says Chandler.
Chandler got to know Carter and saw his potential. "He completed 87 hours of course
credits, which is enough for a degree for most people, but he just never finished," Chandler
says.
The student wrote a blog post about his new friend, and luckily, the right people heard
about Carter and stepped in to help. The University of Texas readmitted Carter as a student,and a kind person who used to be a student UT offered to pay for Carter's tuition.
"I want to be a student and I want to learn," Carter said. Since the course requirements
have changed, Carter is far from having the amount of credits needed to graduate. But his
friend knows he's willing to take up the challenge. "He is capable, he is ready, and he is
dedicated to this," Chandler says.
56. Why didn't Carter finish his study at UT more than 40 years ago? (no more than 10
words)
57. How does Carter feel as a dropout? (no more than 5 words)
58. What does the underlined part in the fourth paragraph probably mean? (no more than 5
words)
59. What can be inferred about Carter in his study at UT? (no more than 15 words)
60. What do you think is the right way to know someone? Please explain. (no more than 25
words)
