第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分 40 分)
第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30)
A
In Europe, there are countless cities which are worth visiting, among which Prague and Vienna are
both wonderful and exciting cities with a stunning modern atmosphere and ancient history and culture.
If you’ve got a European vacation planned, but your limited time or budget can only allow you to
explore one of these amazing cities, it may not be an easy decision to make, since each of them may
own some unique or outstanding features.
Sightseeing
While both cities are rich in sightseeing adventures, Prague is definitely more beautiful as a city.
You can walk along the Danube River for breathtaking views, sit in one of the many cafes that dot the
urban landscape, and breathe in the amazing architecture both old and modern that makes up this
Central European metropolis (都市). Vienna is a hotbed of history, home to such great sites such as the
Hofburg, Schonbrunn Palace and Gardens, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
Shopping
You most likely don’t travel all the way to Europe just to go shopping. But, if you happen to be a
shopaholic, Vienna is definitely a better choice. But be warned: fine goods you buy in Vienna will
sometimes be three times more expensive than what they are in the United States or Canada.
Cuisine
When it comes to great dining, both cities are equally fascinating. Austrians are known for their love
of sweets and snacks, which is reflected in many bakeries, cafés, and restaurants scattered around Vienna.
Some restaurants in either city offer local cuisine, though you’re more likely to be eating a combination of
Western European or even Americanized food. Bear in mind that Prague (being that it is in Central Europe)
will be far less pricey than Vienna.
Culture
What do you hope to see on your trip? Palaces? Medieval Cathedrals? The Opera? How about
museums? If you do happen to visit both cities, you’ll find that culture equally as enriching. However,
Vienna has more world-class museums which display the rich history of the area.
21. Which word can best describe Vienna about sightseeing?
A. Diverse B. Historic. C. Modern. D. Romantic.
22. Which of the following statement is true according to the text?
A. Prague has more appealing tourist attractions than Vienna.
B. Vienna is a paradise for shopping due to the cheap goods there.
C. The food can cost more in Vienna compared with that in Prague.
D. Prague is home to many world-known museums and cathedrals.
23. How does the author organize the passage?
A. By comparison. B. By listing examples. C. By providing figures. D. By asking questions.
B
Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste
to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the opposite,
just as the cook has to undergo a particular training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit
at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose is—
schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication.
You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more
rewarding.
There are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your
business or social writing for you, for money. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have
the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than
a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it
ourselves.
We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put
words to papers. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports
put into mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figures must be extremely large. What is more,
everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes whatever he writes will be read, from first word to last,
not just thrown into some “letters-to-be-read” files or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we
bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.
24. In this passage, good writing is compared to fine food because .
A. both are enjoyable
B. both are hard to learn
C. both are necessary to life
D. both take a long time to prepare
25. According to the passage, some managers don't have to do any letterwriting because .
A. they rely on quick notes B. they have excellent secretaries
C. they have a computer to do it D. they prefer making phone calls
26. According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some"letter-to-be-read" file, .
A. it will receive immediate attention B. it will be dealt with by the secretary
C. it is likely to be neglected D. it is meant to be delivered soon
27. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is .
A. to explain and persuade B. to comment and criticize
C. to interest and entertain D. to argue and demonstrate
C
If you have ever felt sick at the back of a bus or after a boat cruise, then you might have
experienced motion sickness. The condition’s most common symptoms are dizziness, headaches,
sweating and vomiting.
Humans haven’t always experienced this reaction. According to Fred Mast, a professor at the
University of Bern, motion sickness began to affect us when we created vehicles for getting to places
faster. “Our bodies were not prepared for it,” he says, explaining that human-made acceleration creates a
disturbance between our vestibular system(前庭系统), which is responsible for controlling balance, and
our vision. While travelling on a boat or in a car, you may not be watching the movement of the vehicle,
but your vestibular system registers it. Since the human brain has not evolved enough yet to resolve that
conflict, it leads to motion sickness. Motion sickness can also strike when there is simulated
acceleration, such as in some video games or movie scenes in the theatre that make the viewer’s brain
think it’s moving when it’s not.
While one in three people experiences motion sickness at some time, certain people are more easily
affected. These include: children and young adults(according to a German survey, half of those under
the age of 30 report being affected); patients; and women.
Sufferers can avoid motion sickness by making changes to how they travel. For instance, sitting
facing forward at the front of a bus allows you to see the movement. Sitting in the middle of a boat or
next to the wing of an airplane will reduce the amount of movement you feel. Staying away from
alcohol and heavy meals ahead of car, boat or plane trips can also be helpful.
28. Which word can replace the underlined word “simulated” in Paragraph2?
A. fake B. sudden C. frequent D. visible
29. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The symptoms of motion sickness. B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The function of the vestibular system. D. The evolution of human’s brains.
30. Who are more likely to suffer from motion sickness?
A. The old B. The male C. The young D. The adult
31. What can be done to avoid motion sickness while travelling?
A. Closing eyes to feel the movement. B. Sitting close to the bus driver.
C. Filling the stomach before a boat trip. D. Choosing a middle seat in the airplane.
D
Astronauts on the International Space Station will soon test a new oven for making chocolate chip
cookies. A spaceship carrying the cooking equipment and other supplies was launched on Saturday from
the Wallops Flight Facility in the United States. The shipment, weighing 3,700 kilograms, reached the
space station on Monday. The goal is to explore the possibility of making freshly baked cookies for
space travelers.
American company Nanoracks designed and built the oven and helped with organizing the flight to
the space station. Hilton DoubleTree hotels supplied the cookie dough(生面团)the astronauts will use.
In the past, space station crews have created their own pizzas using a thin, flat piece of bread
known as flatbread. Astronauts have tried other creative ways to make food, such as creating salads
from vegetables grown in the space station. Results have been mixed.
The cookie baking will be a slow process. The oven can heat just one cookie at a time. The test
could take weeks before the astronauts have chance to try out freshly baked cookies.
Five unbaked cookies have been in a space station freezer for several weeks. Each is in its own
individual clear bag made out of silicone.The oven can heat foods to temperatures as high as 177
degrees Celsius. That is twice the temperature of the U.S.and Russian food warmers on the space station.
The oven uses electric heating elements.
Mary Murphy is with Nanoracks. Murphy says she expects a baking time of 15 to 20 minutes for
each cookie when the oven is heated to about 163 degrees Celsius. She adds that the smell of baking
cookies should fill the space station each time a cookie comes out of the oven.
The oven's first use will be the real test. Without the force of gravity, the astronauts do not know
exactly how the cookie will look. Three of the space-baked cookies are to be returned to Earth for testing.
32. Which of the following can best describe the new oven test?
A. Time-consuming. B. Energy-saving. C. Meaningless. D. Successful.
33. What's the advantage of the new oven over the Russian food warmer?
A. It heats up much faster. B. It's more convenient to use.
C. It has a larger cooking space. D. It can heat up to a higher temperature.
34. What will make the cookie's appearance in the new oven uncertain?
A. The baking time. B. The heating method.
C. The absence of gravity. D. The speed of temperature rise.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cooking Equipment in Space Station
B. Cookies Coming from the International Space Station
C. Creative Ways Astronauts Make Food in Space Station
D. A New Oven to Be Tested to Make Cookies in Space Station

“Communication is the most essential and sociable of all human behaviors”, which is absolutely
true as for human community. Communication is the majority of everyone’s social life. “Without
communication, life would be as cold as a rock.” 36 Because these certain conversations can make
people attracted. Personally, we should consider the following three aspects to make good
communication.
To start good communication, we can make certain adequate preparations, especially some relative
questions. 37 We can ask some questions to show our politeness, respect and sincere care. For example,
have you been carrying on well recently? What do you favor in your spare time ? Remember to think
again before you put forward a question.
The most important part of communication is to listen. 38 Permit others to do most of the talking.
Be patient and hold interest in their comments, making necessary gestures to show you are listening. Do
not interrupt others when they express excitedly. Being a good conversationalist as well as a good
listener will help you a lot.
39 Appropriate eye contact is like a great element of the main dish which makes it more
delicious. During communicating with others, we should look the speakers in the eye kindly. It will help
us to improve mutual (相互的) understanding. Do not hesitate to look into them. But you had better not
stare at them and not look at them for too long. 40
A. Enjoy good communication, being friends with them.
B. It is usually said that eyes are windows to the soul.
C. It would make others feel uneasy and unwilling to continue talking.
D. They believe they wanna know and even convince us.
E. We should concentrate on others’ saying and think in their shoes.
F. It is considered to be fairly comfortable to be asked fine questions.
G. Furthermore, good communication is an interesting attraction in our daily life.

My favourite male 61 (sing) was Chris Cornell. I first heard him sing on 62 US television music
channel called VH1. The song they were playing 63 (call) “Black Hole Sun”. The music video was
terrifying. I didn’t, and still sort of don’t know what it meant, but the music touched the 64 (deep) part
of my soul.
Cornell’s voice 65 (strike) me as someone who was inspired and influenced by all kinds of music.
Perhaps that is more heard in 66 later solo recordings and also with the band Audioslave. One thing 67
changed my life with this album was that it opened my eyes to loving more than just one genre of music.
Besides, 68 (be) a fan of Soundgarden gradually led me to fall in love with rock music.
Had I not seen Soundgarden on VH1 when I was 12 years old I would never 69 (know) about my
love and respect for rock music. I was singing La Boheme in Dresden, Germany when Chris Cornell
passed away in 2017. He will never know the tremendous effect he had 70 my life. I wish that I could
have met him. Rest in Peace Mr. Cornell.
