第三部分: 阅读理解(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)

A

Keep Shower Doors Spotless Longer
Waterrepelling sprays (such as RainX) aren't just great for
your car. Applying a coat to your shower doors will prevent the
buildup of mildew(霉菌) and other residue.
Pick Up Glass Fragments Easily
Collecting the larger pieces of a broken glass or dish is usually
easy enough, but picking up those tiny slivers and shards can be
tricky. One way to do it is to press a slice of soft bread over the
area. Just be careful not to cut yourself when you toss the bread
in the garbage.
Sweeten Your Yogurt Without Sugar
Flavored yogurts often contain dozens of grams of sugar, but
plain yogurt can be pretty blah. Add flavor without many
calories with a few drops of vanilla, mint, or almond extract.
You can also microwave your favourite into a compote(蜜饯)
and, once it's cool, swirl it into the yogurt.
Spend Less on Hotel Rooms
Weekend bookers tend to luck out when it comes to snagging
the best rate. Prices are lowest on Fridays and Saturdays,
according to the most recent data from travel site kayak.com.
Absolutely avoid booking on Mondays, Tuesdays, and
Wednesdays, when prices are highest.
( )56. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. covering the shower door with your coat keeps it spotless longer
B. soft bread can be used to pick up tiny glass fragments
C. yogurt can be made sweeter if you add your favourite fruit and microwave it
D. prices of hotel rooms are the lowest on Fridays and Saturdays
( )57. In which newspaper column can the article most probably be found?
A. Drama in real life. B. Everyday miracles.
C. Tell your stories. D. We found a fix.
B
Rivers are earthly arteries(要道) for the nutrients, deposits and freshwater that sustain healthy,
diverse ecosystems. Their influence extends in multiple dimensions—not only along their length
but belowground to aquifers(蓄水层) and periodically into nearby floodplains.
They also provide vital services for people by fertilizing agricultural land and feeding key
fisheries and by acting as transportation corridors. But in efforts to ease ship passage, protect
communities from flooding, and draw off water for drinking and irrigation, humans have
increasingly constrained and broken these crucial water ways. “We try to control rivers as much
as possible,” says Gunther Grill, a hydrologist at McGill University.
In new research published in May in Nature, Grill and his colleagues analyzed the barriers to
12 million total kilometers of rivers around the world. The team developed an index(指数) that
evaluates six aspects of connectivity—from physical fragmentation (by dams, for example) to flow
6
regulation (by dams or levees) to water consumption—along a river's various dimension. Rivers
whose indexes meet a certain threshold( 临 界 值 ) for being largely able to follow their natural
patterns were considered freeflowing.
The researchers found that among rivers longer than 1,000 kilometers (which tend to be some
of those most important to human activities), only 37 percent are not blocked along their entire
lengths. Most of them are in areas with a minimal human presence, including the Amazon and
Congo basins and the Arctic. On the contrary, most rivers shorter than 100 kilometers appeared to
flow freely—but the data on them are less comprehensive, and some barriers might have been
missed. Only 23 percent of the subset of the longest rivers that connect to the ocean are
uninterrupted. For the rest, human infrastructure is starving estuaries(河口) and deltas (such as the
Mississippi Delta) of key nutrients. The world's estimated 2.8 million dams are the main cause,
controlling water flow and trapping deposits.
The new research could be used to better understand how proposed dams, levees and other
such projects might impact river connectivity, as well as where to remove these fixtures to best
restore natural flow. It could also help inform our approach to rivers as the climate changes, says
Anne Jefferson, a hydrologist at Kent State University, who was not involved in the work.
Existing__infrastructure,__she__says,__
“has__essentially__been__built__to__a__past__climate__that__we__are__not__in__anymore__a
nd__are__increasingly__moving__away__from.”
( )58. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a function of rivers?
A. Easing ship passage. B. Fertilizing agricultural land.
C. Transporting people or goods. D. Sustaining healthy ecosystems.
( )59. What does the underlined word “constrained” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Exhausted. B. Restricted. C. Consumed. D. Expanded.
( )60. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”.
A. earthly arteries B. human activities
C. entire lengths D. unblocked rivers
( )61. What does Anne Jefferson mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. Existing infrastructure has been perfectly built.
B. Existing infrastructure doesn't depend on the past climate.
C. Existing infrastructure determines the future climate.
D. Existing infrastructure doesn't fit the changing climate.
C
Are you aware that every single person on this planet who has ever lived, lives now or will
live, has a different perception of reality? The way each of us perceives the world is to some degree
different than any other person's perception of reality. __①__ What is absolutely real and right for
you may be an illusion, or nonexistent, or completely false for another!
It's important to know this. __②__ For example, the news media loves to create drama, and
one of their favorite methods is to elicit(引起) fear: fear of other people, fear of the weather, fear of
the economy, etc. The news media tells us how to perceive the world—and if a person takes the
newscasters at their word, they perceive the world to be very dangerous and hostile. To that person,
the mental images and emotions suggested by other people create a version of reality that is
completely different from the reality perceived by someone who does not watch the news.
Things are not always what they seem. For most people, seeing is believing, which is why
7
magicians, artists and marketers are so successful. Just like the TV news, they show you only what
they want you to see and it is perceived as reality. But how would that reality change if you saw
what went on behind the scenes or what was left out?
What's your story?
We all have a story. Over time, your story takes on a life of its own and you become your
story. But who's the author and why did him put so much crap in there? All that unnecessary
suffering, struggle, heartache, worry and pain... wouldn't it be better to live a story without all that?
Who wants to live in a story with that much boredom and unfulfilled longings?
The story got its start when you were born, and was co authored by you along with the
influences in your life. __③__ Anytime you were influenced by someone or something, you
unconsciously handed your pen over and said “Here, you write this about me.” So you are not
even writing your OWN story! No one does—until they recognize that fact, and make a conscious
decision to take control of the pen. You CAN write your story the way you want it to play out.
________________
It is helpful to understand how the brain takes reality and filters it to create your unique
perception of reality. It's an automatic unconscious action that is based on:
● Physical experiences (which is why some optical illusions are extremely unsettling)
● Past conditioning (how you are programmed to see the world)
__④__ When you become aware of the fact that you are constructing your own reality, you
can take charge and build one that is more pleasing. If you change your mind, your vibration and
your intentions, you can change your circumstances! Instead of, “I am a victim of circumstance,”
imprint in your mind, “I am the cocreator of my life”; Instead of, “I am sick and tired of...”
imprint in your mind,“I am in control and enthusiastic about what I do”.
Raise your vibration by thinking, talking and acting more positively. As positiveness becomes
a mental habit,that change will become your new inner reality, which will soon manifest in your
outer reality.
The power of perception is immense. Choose to see more good than bad, more abundance than
lack, more love than indifference and more success than struggle.
( )62. How does the author present his viewpoints in the first three paragraphs?
A. By answering questions. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By drawing conclusions.
( )63. The sentence “Because if you are not aware, your perception, world view and
reality are created by other people.” should be put in ________.
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
( )64. Which of the following subtitles can be filled in the blank?
A. Seeing is not believing
B. Live up to your expectations
C. Change your perception and create a new reality
D. Physical experiences and past conditioning really count
( )65. What is the tone of the passage?
A. Instructive. B. Humorous. C. Critical. D. Ironic.
D
I am a parent of a disabled teenager. My son is in and out of hospital and school. His learning
disabilities and behaviour issues are a barrier for him, and he is teased on campus. At home, he
8
swears and punches me.
He is on a waiting list for his disorder which contributes to his anxiety. Meanwhile, there are
hospital appointments to manage, at least four consultants on the go, and an imminent transfer to
adult services. The bureaucracy of caring keeps me busy.
I used to work in the theatre industry but had to quit when my son kept getting excluded from
school. I never expected that my life would turn out like this. But now, amazingly, I am doing a
PhD at a Russell Group university,looking at nonwhite protagonists in historical drama. It is
fascinating: underrepresented characters!
Hidden histories! Diversity!
I am starting to win awards for my research and I feel like a success story. Almost. There's just
one problem: I can't get funding. I keep missing out on studentships and scholarships. These
awards—which are mainly funded by research councils or universities directly—are worth about
£14,000-£16,000 a year and usually include a fee waiver (saving a further £5,000). That's
a lot of money.
But the funding tends to go to students half my age with straightA academic results—not to
people like me, who have taken an unusual path to academia. When I was turned down for the last
studentship I applied for, I asked why. The decision maker—a professor in my department and the
head of a research institute—told me “it all comes down to excellent academic results”.
They don't say this on the application forms; it's all about the originality of your project, your
research statement, your supervisor's supporting statement, the panel that considers you, the level
of competition. But when it comes down to it, this is clearly what they want. Someone with my
background is never going to get a studentship if the decisive criteria are undergraduate and
master's results.
When I started my PhD and realised that I would need financial help, I went to the student
advice office and told them that I am a carer. They asked what that meant and then offered me
advice on benefits, but not funding. I went to the student union advice service—they referred me
back to student advice. I went to the graduate school. Same response. I spoke to a vice dean and a
chaplain. I had to tell them what a carer is. You get the picture. I was invisible. So I gave up,
decided to apply annually for the studentships and kept my parttime job.
UCAS announced this year that young carers will now be able to identify themselves in their
applications, so that universities will be able to support them. But how is this going to happen if
staff at these institutions don't even know what a carer is?
The student welfare vicepresident at the union has finally agreed with me that carers are an
undersupported and underrepresented group on campus. We are going to ask student records to
add an option to the equality and diversity monitoring section, so that we can identify as carers and
hopefully raise awareness. Wish us luck.
( )66. Put the following events in the correct order.
a. The author won awards for her research.
b. The author spoke to a vice dean and a chaplain.
c. The author decided to apply annually for studentships.
d. The author started her PhD.
A. dbca B. dcba C. cdab D. cdba
( )67. According to the decision maker,the writer's application for funding was turned
down mainly because ________.
9
A. she has a disabled son B. her academic results were not good enough
C. the bureaucracy of caring kept her busy D. the competition was too fierce
( )68. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. the writer likes reading success stories
B. the writer is a nonwhite woman
C. carers deserve our attention and help
D. carers are favored in the process of application and enrollment
( )69. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Only undergraduates and masters can get the studentship.
B. In spite of her son's illness, the writer continued to work to feed her family.
C. The writer shows great interest and enthusiasm in her academic research.
D. The writer's disabled son does not respect his mother.
( )70. The writer's purpose is mainly to ________.
A. call on more people to care about disabled teenagers
B. complain about the barriers she met in getting funding
C. inform the readers of a carer's difficulties
D. give advice on how to get a studentship

请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填 1 个单词。
Make the most of networking opportunities
Get to those networking events and talk, talk, talk. “There is value in every conversation you
have, you never know where your next piece of work may come from. Changing the mindset to
professionalism and saying, ‘I am a graphic designer’ rather than ‘I am a graduate’ is very
important, ” says Lydia Wakefield, education and training manager at the Association of
Independent Professionals and the SelfEmployed.
Know your worth
It's hard to persuade people to pay for your work if you're willing to give it away. “Value
your worth from the beginning. A lot of people feel the pressure to work nothing or charge a really
low rate if they've been studying. Clients are willing to pay for the quality of the work that you do,”
says Wakefield.
Set up with the tools to get paid
Register for selfassessment and file those tax returns. “Make sure you have contracts and
invoice templates(发票模板) in place,” says Wakefield. It doesn't hurt to get some advice from a
professional, says Jeff Skinner, of the Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the London
Business School. “ Find an accountant or someone doing something similar and ask them for
commercial advice,” he says.
Manage expectations
Know the limits to your capabilities. “You can feel the need to say yes to every project.
Have a selfawareness of how much work you can take on at any time and manage expectations,”
says Wakefield.
Build resilience (韧性)
Wakefield highlights the importance of having a thick skin. “If you get a no, don't take it to
10
heart. Keep going, you will find your next client,” she says, “ask for feedback, you can always
use it for testimonial.” And, remember that you're not alone. “It really is emotional highs and
lows for any entrepreneur in early stages. But you're in a network with other people on the same
journey as you,” says Skinner.

A video showing a traffic police officer pretending to be blind being denied permission to get
on a bus with a guide dog has been drawing public attention and has led to heated online
discussions about the lack of support and care for the visually impaired(视觉障碍人士). As shown
in the video, wearing a blindfold, the officer wasn't allowed on the bus with the guide dog, and was
told no dogs are allowed whether they're guide dogs or not. Some passengers also scolded the
officer for making a scene and wasting their time, while the dog appeared very distressed.
The guide dog's owner Gao Zhipeng, who is visually impaired, told media Monday that this
has been happening almost every day since he brought Taobao home in 2014,and it is the same
when catching a cab. And each time they were refused, Taobao would sink into depression for
days.
The guide dog being denied boarding is just the tip of the iceberg, compared to the various
difficulties faced by the country's visually impaired population every day when they leave their
home.
