三、阅读理解(共 10 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 20 分)
阅读下面的三篇短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选择
最佳选项。
A
The nose helps us a lot. It tells us when dinner is almost ready and leads the
way to sweet cakes. It also tells us to keep away from bad smells. But do you know
the interesting facts about something that smells bad?
Fish
You might have noticed that fish smell unpleasant sometimes. Fish from the ocean
smell the strongest. These saltwater fish have a chemical (化学物质) called TMAO.
While we prepare fish for cooking, TMAO is already changing into other things. One
is called TMA. It smells super smelly. Usually, before cooks make saltwater fish
a dish, they wash fish. And most of the TMA can be washed away. Cooks also add lemon
to make the fish less smelly.
Feet
Foot sweat (脚汗) itself does not have a bad smell at first. But it has food
and water that the bacteria (细菌) need. With them, the bacteria give off some smell.
Most shoes often keep sweat in them. That makes shoes and socks warm and wet—a place
where bacteria can grow. Different types of bacteria give off different smells.
That’s why feet may smell like bad vegetables, smelly eggs or other smelly things.
Eggs
Many things smell terrible when they go bad. But a bad egg gives off the most
famous bad smell of all and draws people’s attention. When an egg goes bad, the
bacteria help to change the sulfur (硫) in its white part into sulfur and hydrogen
(硫化氢). And it smells really bad. The nose just warns us away from it because too
much sulfur and hydrogen will harm our health.
26. How does the writer tell readers that something smells bad in the passage?
A. By showing forms.
B. By listing numbers.
C. By drawing pictures.
D. By giving examples.
27. What can you learn from the passage?
A. Different bacteria produce the same smell.
B. A smelly egg gives off sulfur and hydrogen.
C. Dry shoes and socks can help bacteria grow.
D. Lemon increases the bad smell of saltwater fish.
28. Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from?
A. Word History.
B. Cooking Tips.
C. Travel Guide.
D. Fun
Facts.
Bicycles have long been a kind of transport in China. In the past, only a small
group of people thought cycling a sport. Now more and more people discover the joy
B
of it.
________ Riders share their favourite routes and health tips about cycling on
some apps like Xiaohongshu or Sina Weibo. On Xiaohongshu, there are more than 2.5
million posts (帖子) about cycling, and on Weibo, the topic about cycling has been
viewed more than 700 million times. A bicycle company says the sales in one of its
stores rose 20% to 30%, compared to the same period a year earlier. Cycling activities
are also welcomed. According to the Chinese Cycling Association, at least 20 million
people have joined in the sport.
People turn to cycling as more people care about their health and their demand
for outdoor exercise becomes stronger. For people who have begun cycling, the sport
seems to provide a good way to run away from the busy city life. It also gives them
a stronger sense of being part of the natural environment. Though the sport cycling
sometimes costs a lot, many cyclists think spending money on their own bodies is
more valuable than on other items. More people take part in cycling as cities in
China are also planning to build more cycle-only lanes (车道). Several years ago,
Beijing started building the city’s first cycle-only lane. Since its opening, the
lane has seen a larger daily traffic flow. Such lanes are also being built in some
other cities.

advantages.

C. It introduces cycling is becoming popular.
D. It recommends good cycling routes to people.
C
Katie was waiting for Gulliver’s calls. Instead, she just heard sparrows making
noise in the bushes. “Maybe Gulliver missed the harbour.” Dad said. After breakfast,
Katie took her camera to the harbour. All the colourful boats made pretty pictures,
but not the one she wanted most.
Katie waved to Ernest, her uncle’s neighbour, on the boathouse. The gull’s
name, Gulliver, was given by him. The gull’s size and his single leg made the bird
itself different. But Ernest told Katie what Gulliver did that first summer Katie
and her dad came caught everyone’s attention. Young Katie lay in her stroller (婴
儿车) on the floating dock (码头) when Uncle Ralph and Dad were repairing boats nearby.
The waves from the passing boat made Katie’s stroller shake strongly. “Kee-aah!
Kee-aah!” Gulliver made the loudest cry. Dad and uncle rushed to Katie and stopped
the stroller from falling into the water. They kept a close eye at Katie after that.
Another summer Katie was three years old, she liked to touch everything. But Dad
didn’t watch her every minute when she tried to catch small ducks around or fish
from water. “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” The gull’s cry brought Dad back in time. He
stopped Katie as she tried to follow the small ducks running towards water. Several
summers passed, and Gulliver continued to call out as Katie tried new things.
This summer Katie did the usual by-the-sea things she’d learned to do. One day,
she rowed a boat out but was trapped on a rock by a storm. As she looked up and tried
to catch the last warmth of the sunshine through dark clouds, she saw a single white
feather. A gull feather? She searched the sky for an answer. Putting her arms around
knees, she closed eyes to hold in the tears (眼泪). “Kee-aah!Kee-aah!” Katie sat
up. “Katie! Katie!” Soon, Dad and Uncle Ralph appeared. “How lucky! We heard
Gulliver as we came around the rocks,” Uncle Ralph said, “At least… it sounded
like him. Strange, he was nowhere in sight.” Katie remembered the feather. “I
thought I heard him, too.”
