第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分 50 分)
第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 37.5 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。
Over the centuries, London’s River Thames is home to 180 of these“aits” —
A
an ancient word meaning “small island”.
Eel Pie Island
Most famous of all of these aits is car-free, as is Eel Pie Island, which got
its name from a dish on the menu of a 19th century island hotel. The island’s fame
was promoted in the “swinging sixties” when, the bands—all great names of the
day including Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones —played there. A 17-year-old youth,
Davy Jones, also went along well with the Eel Pie Island crowd. And everyone came
to know him better as David Bowie later.
Monkey Island
Monkey Island was an ait for the royal (王室的) family. Princess Margaret and
her friends held a big party in the 1960s. Writers including HG wells tended to visit
this island too. It is not absolutely certain but generally believed that Monkey
Island’s name came from the Old English “Monks Eyot (ait)”, because the first
recorded settlers were Augustinian monks (僧侣).
Tagg’s Island
Another royal ait, Tagg’s Island, changed its name in 1872 when Thomas Tagg
built the island’s Thames Hotel. The island was also a busy parking site for
houseboats. Among those who rented one was the author of Peter Pan, Scotsman JM Barrie.
However, it was none of those celebrities (名人) who promoted Tagg’s Island
popularity, but the theater manager Frederick Westcott, who discovered Charlie
Chaplin.
Oliver’s Island
Masses of birds call this island home, everything from Canadian geese to
cormorants and herons. There’s an unsolved puzzle connected to Oliver’s Island.
The story goes that a secret tunnel leads from the island to the Bull’s Head pub
in Chiswick as an escape route. Maybe it’s true, though plenty have tried to find
it without success. Ah, and the island’s name? That’s down to Oliver Cromwell,
the great England leader, who supposedly took refuge (难民) there.

After twenty-two years’ raising three children, I was about to be introduced
to an unfamiliar concept: the empty nest. Obviously, this was now my time. My time
to dive into new experiences, explore the world and spend more time in writing. Why,
then, was I not excited?
My oldest child had just begun life on her own; the other two were attending
college 1,100 miles away. I missed them all terribly. My husband and I had moved
to a neighboring state for a job opportunity. We hadn’t yet met neighbors or made
new friends, and most of my colleagues were only accessible through an Internet
connection. I began to feel hopeless. I wasn’t quite sure how to move forward.
“Why don’t we go for a walk? ” my husband suggested.
Then we discovered a track only a short drive from our apartment. The paved track
winded along a river lined with bushes and towering trees. Ducks lazed on the
riverbanks. Often, a blue heron (鹭) stood motionless on a rock in the center of
the river. These small messages of nature provided me with a peaceful distraction,
but only slightly lifted me out of my problems.
Still, I continued to walk the path.
One cloudy morning, I hiked up the track, and I saw an elderly, gray-haired woman
holding the handle of her walking stick. She sped by me in the opposite direction
like a marathon runner. I turned around to catch another glimpse of this one-woman
wonder. She was definitely moving forward. She wasn’t letting anything hold her
back. Certainly not her age.
That’s when it hit me. My fellow track users were pushing past whatever
challenges they were experiencing. Why, then, was I not doing the same? My nest may
have been empty, but it didn’t have to be joyless. There I made a decision. I would
rush home and fill my empty nest with joy.
4. Why was the author not excited according to the first two paragraphs?
A. She just felt lonely and empty.
B. Relief.
D.
D.
C. Influence.
B. She had too much time to spare.
C. She couldn’t contact her colleagues.
D. She hadn’t adapted to her new house.
5. What does the underlined word “distraction” mean in the fourth paragraph?
A. Solution.
Strength.
6. Which of the following best describes the old woman?
A. Patient.
Strong-willed.
7. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A Track of Hope
B. Facing Empty Nest
C. An Amazing Woman
D. Meeting Challenges
【答案】4. A
B. Independent.
C. Athletic.
5. B

As we all know, Los Angeles has many highways. It’s also a city in the world
where big cats wander wild inside the city boundaries. But big cats and highways
do not mix. That is why Los Angeles will construct one of the world’s wildlife
passages to protect these cats.
The cats mentioned above are mountain lions. They live in the Santa Monica
Mountains. Their numbers don’t change much. Their habitat is mostly untouched
wilderness, full of deer, the lions’ main food. The ecology of their mountains is
healthy, thanks to their existence at the top of the food chain. Yet genetic (基
因的) worsening can be just as deadly.
Route 101 cuts the Santa Monica Mountains off from a larger wilderness to the
North. The result is a trapped population in the South and genetic worsening. A study
in 2016 found that, considering their natural environment, the Santa Monica mountain
lions’ chances of extinction in 50 years would be 15-22%, in contrast to 99.7%
because of their genetic worsening.
Another study found that the big cats were suffering physical damage: a 90-degree
kink (结) in the tail and problems in sexual organs (器官). In the early 1990s
biologists found that Florida puma, a closely related animal, had the same genetic
weaknesses. The Florida puma escaped extinction only thanks to the introduction of
females brought from Texas to refresh the gene pool.
California does not need to go that far like Florida. There are healthy
mountain-lion populations north of the Santa Monica Mountains, separated by the road.
But hidden cameras show the animals stood at the side of the highway, not daring
to cross. And the construction of the passage will largely solve the problem.
The animals become adults at 2.5 to 3 years and have babies every two years.
So within ten years of the passage’s completion, the grandchildren of the first
mating (交配) beyond the mountains could have babies. Genetically, even a few matings
would make a difference. “The passage will definitely save the mountain lion,”
thinks Paul Edelman of the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority.
8. What is the major threat to these mountain lions?
A. Habitat loss.
C. Genetic worsening.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The emergency of the problem.
B. Comparison between the two animals.
B. Lack of food sources.
D. Decreased female numbers.
C. The problems the mountain lions are facing.
D. Solution to mountain lions' potential extinction.
10. What is likely to happen after the passage’s completion?
A. The mountain lions will be free from extinction.
B. The problem of genetic worsening can be largely solved.
C. Los Angeles will own the only wildlife passage in the world.
D. The grandchildren of the first mating will be born within 10 years.
11. What is Paul Edelman’s attitude to the wildlife passage?
A. Positive.
Uninterested.
【答案】8. C
C. Doubtful.
B. Negative.
D.
9. C
10. B

D
Wednesday morning at Grand Holt airport in British, a Pipistrel Velis Electro
went flying. It might not look particularly special, but this Pipistrel is the world’
s first fully certified (有资质的) electric plane. It has a speed of around 100 miles
per hour and can only stay in the air for about 50 minutes.
Actually, in an industry seeking to develop electric planes as air taxis, there
are many forms of electric planes. Last year Rolls-Royce tested the Spirit of
Innovation, with a top speed of more than 340 miles per hour. It’s the fastest of
all the electric vehicles in existence. It has three electric engines that provide
500 horsepower to push the aircraft to the sky. But there is only a limited space
for pilots, and the rest part—from where the pilot’s feet are to the back part
of the plane—is a large battery. At present, the battery can’t support a holiday
of a whole family, but this doesn’t lock the ability to travel in a small jet able
to carry up to 9 passengers.
Another company, Bristol Vertical Aerospace, which has Rolls-Royce as one of
its design partners, successfully tested its latest electric plane VX4 in December
last year. The company is working toward having commercially operational air taxis
by 2025, using existing landing places as its airports. And eventually there will
be specific airports to support these planes.
“The technology is certainly advanced enough to start flying around urban
spaces, ” said Gary Elliott, CEO of aerospace technology institute. “One of the
challenges is the certification. Those companies have to prove that the vehicles
are safe and obviously meet the safety standards. At this point, it is not in support
of ordinary people trying an air taxi. ”
12. What’s the purpose of paragraph one?
A. To describe a scene at the airport.
B. To introduce the topic of electric plane.
C. To show the latest type of electric plane.
D. To present the advances in electric plane.
13. What can do we know about Spirit of Innovation?
A. It can hold at least nine passengers.
B. It’s the fastest vehicles in the world.
C. Lack of space is one of its weaknesses.
D. The three engines take much of its space.
14. What might Bristol Vertical Aerospace do in the future?
A. Use the existing landing places.
B. Build more airports for its planes.
C. Work with Rolls-Royce on technology.
D. Produce the electric planes for commercial use.
15. What makes it possible for a common person to try an air taxi?
A. Necessary certification.
C. Advanced technology.

Everyone makes countless choices every day. ___16___ For instance, when hunger
strikes, you can reach for a nutritious snack good for your health, or junk food
which may contribute to fatness. Then how do you make choices? If you’re interested
in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation which you can base all your
decisions on, so that you can make life better not only for yourself, but also for
those around you. ___17___ Imagine if every parent, mate, friend, teacher,
businessman, and politician truly did their best to choose what’s best for all in
every decision they made, we would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.
“But how do I know what is really best?” you might ask. The answer is simple.
It doesn’t matter. ___18___ What matters is that whatever decision you make, you
should choose with a sincere desire for what’s best for all. Even if it later turns
out that you have made a bad choice, there’s no need for guilt (愧疚). With a clear
heart, you may stay clear and open. ___19___ Probably next time you’ll achieve a
satisfactory outcome.
However, choosing what’s best does not mean you have to always sacrifice (牺
牲) yourself for others. It’s typical of a mother to sacrifice for her kids. However,
an overly tired mother may get annoyed easily. ___20___ Yet in the long run, it can
help her to be a better mother to her children. So as you move through each day of
your lives, remember to take account of yourselves as you choose what’s best.
A. This may make you feel guilty about your choice.
B. A working mother can’t balance career and family.
C. This foundation is to choose based on what’s best.
D. Some rest for this mother might seem not selfless.
E. This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes.
F. And every choice you make, however big or small, affects you in some way.
G. What matters is not the choice you make, but the intention behind your choice.
【答案】16. F

The Sport I Like Most
As the saying goes, “Life lies in movement.” Among various sports, I have a
strong preference for volleyball.
You cannot imagine how weak I was before junior high school when I would often
catch a cold and easily become out of breath. Then I took up volleyball, from which
I have gained plenty of benefits. Through daily training, not only does it help build
up my strength and develop my character, but it also makes me aware of the importance
of team spirit. Besides, by cooperating with my teammates, I make more friends.
All in all, volleyball gives me a body full of strength and a mind crazy about
sports. Let’s enjoy the pleasure and benefits of sports together!

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in high school, I had a dream: to appear in a television program.
I was too shy to share my dream with my teacher, however, or anyone else—except
my parents. To me, it sounded like a dream that could never come true.
People often told me I could be a nurse, a teacher, or a hairdresser, which I
thought were all great careers. But that was not what I wanted. Thankfully, my parents
had raised me and my siblings to have lots of confidence. Both my parents, especially
my dad, often said, “You can do anything you want to.”
With his encouragement, I applied to the radio and television arts program at
Ryerson University in Toronto. I was overjoyed when I was admitted. I really loved
the program and worked hard —and I was named the most outstanding graduate of the
year. Just by getting into Ryerson and graduating at the top of the class, I began
to think that maybe my dream could come true.
After I graduated, I applied to the CBC and CTV for a job. They both said the
same thing: “We love your education, but you don’t have any experience. Come back
when you get some!” And I kept saying, “How can I get this experience? I’ve been
busy getting an education.” They both turned me down.
Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year.
