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，从每题所的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A
The days of stopping at one store and buying everything in one location are long gone. We've put together a list of items you shouldn't buy at some store and we show you where to get them.
Tuna
Essentially a product from Chicken of the Sea,5-ounce cans of Van Camp's Chunk White Albacore Tuna in Water are available for $1 per can at Dollar Tree. A similar product in the grocery store costs 59 cents more per can.
Olive Oil
Is it really worth buying expensive olive oil? We don't think so. This 68-ounce Iberia Premium Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil sells at Target for $ 9.69. Reviewers love this less-expensive alternative saying it's great for everything. Compare it with a standard 17-ounce size of Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil -much less oil, selling for roughly the same $9.99 at the grocery store when it's not on sale.
Vitamins
You might not realize the savings you can reap on vitamins simply by buying them at a different store. A 100-count bottle of vitamin D softgels（软胶囊）can run to ＄11.29 at Walmart.180-count bottle of Trader Joe's vitamin D 1000 iu softgels is only $11.99. That's almost double the amount.
Storage Containers
For storing food, children's supplies, or whatever your household needs maybe, there's nothing better than plastic storage containers. But why pay through the nose for them? Albertsons has two half-cup Rubbermaid Easy-Find Lids food storage containers at $6.89. But you can buy six of those from Target for $7.99- four more for about a dollar.
Socks
Whether you lose one in the dryer or just wear them out, socks should be replaced once there’s a hole or the elastic（松紧带）gets loose. Dollar Tree has a good selection of men’s，women's, and children's socks. Women's mini-crew socks come in a three-pair pack for $ 1. A three-pair pack of similar socks at Albertsons will cost $6.59 and there's much less variety.
21.How much does a can of similar Tuna in the grocery store probably cost?
A. $9.69.
B.$1.
C.$1.59.
D. $7.99.
22. Which of the following items is best for storing food?
A. A plastic dryer.
B. A 100-count bottle.
C. A special storage container.
D. A plastic storage container.
23.Where can you buy cheaper socks?
A. At Trader Joe's.
B. At Dollar Tree.
C. At Albertsons.
D. At Walmart.

A shop owner placed a sign above his door that said: "Puppies for Sale." Signs like this always have a way of attracting young children, and to no surprise, a boy saw the sign and approached the owner.
"How much are you going to sell the puppies for?" he asked.
The shop owner replied, " Anywhere from $30 to $50."
The little boy pulled out some change from his pocket. "I have $2.37," he said. "Can I please look at them?"
The shop owner smiled and whistled. A lady ran down the aisle of his shop followed by five tiny balls of fur.
One puppy was lagging considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging puppy and said, " What's wrong with that little dog?"
The shop owner explained that the puppy was born disabled and it would always be lame. The little boy became excited. "I'll buy it. " The shop owner said, "No, you don't want to buy that little
dog. If you really want him, I'll just give him to you. " The little boy looked straight into the shop owner's eyes and said, "I don't want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price. In fact, I'll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I pay it off. " The shop owner countered, " You really don't want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and play with You like the other puppies."
To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the shop owner and softly replied, "Well, I don't run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands!"

Tristan da Cunha, a British territory, is 2,300 miles east of South America and 1,600 miles west of South Africa. To reach it requires a seven-day boat trip from South Africa, and once you're there, you feel so much like you're at the edge of the world.
Remote as it is, Tristan da Cunha is not without its conservation threats. Invasive mice, brought by passing ships, kill about two million birds a year. The region has seen illegal fishing vessels. A 2017 report by Pristine Seas used satellite data to track fishing vessels in the area from 2014 to 2016.
A majority of the 253 vessels logged appeared to be passing through, but 11 showed activity consistent with fishing. Improper fishing activities can make seabirds, sharks, and other important species caught in nets or on fishing lines by accident.
To stop the situation going from bad to worse, Tristan da Cunha will receive more resources for patrolling its waters for illegal fishing activity to protect the marine areas. Marine protected areas(MPAs) are seen by experts as a conservation silver bullet. A study published on Tuesday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences further confirmed established scientific evidence that MPAs worldwide protect seafood supplies by producing larger catch yields. Fisheries that are left undisturbed in marine protected areas can produce a " spillover" effect in which an abundance of fish from a protected area " spill over" into fishing hotspots. Expanding the current network of protected areas by just 5 percent, the study found, could boost the global fish catch by at least 20 percent.
"The increasing demand for seafood from the world human population explosion, in addition
to the expected negative impacts of climate change on many fisheries, increases the need for managing and protecting fish sources well," says Reniel Cabral, an ecologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and one of the study's authors.
28.Which country does Tristan da Cunha belong to?
A. South Africa.
B. The United Kingdom.
C. America.
D. France.
29.Which of the following is not a threat to Tristan da Cunha?
A. Illegal fishing.
B. Passing ships.
C. Alien mice.
D. Spillover effect.
30.What benefit can MPAs bring to us?
A. Increasing catch yields.
B. Meeting the need for food.
C. Improving the expected climate.
D. Leaving the island undisturbed.
31.From what Reniel Cabral says we know that_________
A. population explosion does harm to fish sources
B. the climate change will be bad for fisheries
C. the demand for seafood delays protecting fish sources
D. protecting fish sources contributes to environmental protection
D
In the past five years, about 2.8 billion of school textbooks were sold per year, with total spending of 20 billion yuan, a news magazine reported, citing data released recently by the National Press and Publication Administration.
If these textbooks are reused for one year, the costs saved can be used to help build around 40,000 Hope Schools in impoverished regions.
The figures show that in 2018, the number of retailed textbooks for primary and secondary schools was 2.93 billion copies, totaling 25.99 billion yuan. If all of them are reused, a total of over 20 billion yuan will be saved per year.
Zhao Dehua, in charge of a company recycling resources, said many college graduates sell the textbooks they have accumulated over the years at an average price of 1 yuan per kilogram. As these textbooks are mostly used to produce recycled paper, the cost is even higher than that of producing raw paper as the processing procedure of recycled paper is complicated.
At present, free textbooks related to music, art and PE for the nine-year compulsory education have been reused, but account for less than a fraction of the total number of textbooks. Because of the supply chain obstruction, which increases the costs of matching supply with demand, the lack of sound platforms and service supporting systems for the second-hand textbook trade, most of the textbooks used for compulsory education and higher education end up as waste.
"Every year, second-hand booksellers collect textbooks at a price of about 4,000 yuan a ton, which is more than twice the price of ordinary waste paper, but there are few people who come to collect second-hand books," Zhao Dehua said.
Besides, the incomplete policies and regulations might bring second-hand book sales platforms and sellers to legal risks.
"Establishing the system of textbook recycling can not only save resources, but also help to cultivate students' consciousness and sense of responsibility," said Zhu Pin, deputy head of a school
of nine-year compulsory education in Jiangxi Province. The school has set up a system for reusing the textbooks and the books are disinfected every week.
32.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. College students sell textbooks in order to make profits.
B. Recycled paper is mainly used for environmental considerations.
C. The cost of producing recycled paper is greater than that of producing raw paper.
D. Certain groups of collectors tend to choose second-hand textbooks.
33.What is the problem of reusing textbooks?
A. It is blocked because of lack of funds.
B. The supply of recycled textbooks is not adequate to meet the demand.
C. The regulation of second-hand textbooks has not been carried out yet.
D. A large number of second-hand textbooks are not used properly.
34.What measure does the school take to use the second-hand textbooks?
A. The school frees recycled textbooks from bacteria regularly.
B. The school proposes regulations for wasting second-hand textbooks.
C. The school calls on students to participate in the system of textbook recycling.
D. The school requests the government's support.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Textbooks recycled for less waste
B. Recycled textbooks used for compulsory education
C. Reusing textbooks good for environment and wallet
D. Reusing textbooks good for collection

A dog snoring away the afternoon on the living room floor. Walruses napping on a beach. Lions stretching o ut on the grassland. These sleepy scenes may make people wonder why these other mammals（哺乳动物）seem to be getting so much more sleep than humans. Do they actually need more sleep? Are they just sleeping because they can? 36Be prepared for a surprising and fascinating answer to these questions:
37
Though constantly studied, sleep is one of the great mysteries modern science hasn't completely cracked. " We really don't know what sleep is for, " said Dr. David Raizen.
38Across many studies of mammalian sleep, scientists have observed that less sleep is connected with larger body sizes. A reason for this may be that the larger an animal is, the more calories it needs, and the more time it needs to spend eating.
However, the matter is far from settled.39Some differences in observed sleep might not be what they seem. Just because a house cat sleeps for 18 hours a day doesn't mean it needs all that sleep to function, Raizen said. Some sleep is probably a matter of convenience- done when it's not safe for an animal to be out, when food availability is low or simply because there's nothing else to do.
As for human sleep? Raizen said the most important thing is for people to listen to their bodies and get as much sleep as they feel they need.40
A. Nobody knows.
B. Should humans be sleeping more, too?
C. More efforts are being put in interpreting sleep better.
D. Scientists are doing research trying to find the answer.
E. Sleep is complex, hard to measure in wild animals and even harder to interpret.
F. One idea is that sleep in mammals has something to do with body size and diet.
G. It is about eight hours for most folks but might be as few as five and as many as eleven.

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。

My school had a tradition during the ninth-grade graduation: a beautiful gold and
green
jacket(the school colors), was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grades for nine years.
I had been a straight A student since the first grade and had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. My father was a farm laborer who couldn't earn enough money to feed five children, so I was given to my grandparents to raise. There would never be a school sports jacket for me because we couldn't afford it. This scholarship jacket was my only chance.
One day in May, I happened to overhear Mr. Schmidt, my history teacher, and Mr. Boone, my math teacher arguing about me. "I refuse to do it! I don't care who her father is; her grade can’t match Martha’s at all. I won’t lie or falsify（伪造）records," said Mr. Schmidt angrily.
But Mr. Boone's voice sounded calm. "Joann's father is or the board（董事会），and he also owns the only store in town. We could say it was a close tie and..."
The pounding in my ears drowned out the rest of the words, only few words here and there filtering through. "...Martha is Mexican...resign...won't do it..."
To this day I don't remember how I made it through the res of the afternoon. That night, I cried into my pillow so Grandmother wouldn't hear me.
The next day the principal called me into his office. "Martha," he said, "there's been a change in policy this year regarding the scholarship jacket. This year the board has decided to charge fifteen dollars, which still won't cover the complete cost of the jacket. So if you are unable to pay the money for the jacket, it will be given to the next one in line for it."
Standing with all the dignity I could find, I said, "Ill speak to my grandfather about it, sir, and let you know tomorrow. " That day, I cried sadly on the walk home.

Good afternoon, everyone! It is my honor to deliver a speech on "Clear Your Plate" campaign.
There is no doubt that excessive food waste will①pose a potential threat to food security. And it costs energy to deal with wasted food, ultimately（=finally）increasing greenhouse gases. So when we dine out, it is our responsibility to order a proper amount of food and take leftovers（残羹剩菜）home. In addition, schools should conduct（组织；进行）some activities to demonstrate （说明；演示；证明）the significance of reducing food waste.
For a greener environment and a more prosperous future, let's all clear our plates! Thank you!
①pose 造成（威胁、问题等）引起；产生
to pose a threat/challenge/risk/danger 造成威胁/挑战/风险/危险
By the time I got home, my eyes were red and swollen. I found my grandpa in the bean field. Sensing something wrong, he asked me what happened with great concern. I murmured the principal's words, after which Grandpa＇s eyes rounded（变圆）in disbelief. Feeling a surge of regret, I really hated to see my gray-haired grandpa's disappointment. Time ticking by（流逝），he let out（发出）a long sigh，＂My child，an award bought can't be called an award. " I nodded understandingly. But who knew how reluctant and bitter（愤愤不平的）I was？
I dragged into the principal's office the next day, sad and disappointed. My head still lifted with dignity，I tried to fight back（忍住）the tears，stammering，＂I cannot. .. afford the jacket，sir. ＂Staring into my eyes, the principal suddenly grinned, " I have good news for you. " I looked at him in confusion. "The board made the final decision that an award cannot be bought just for the sake of winners' dignity （同位语从句）.＂I pinched my hand only to find I was not dreaming. Only at that moment did I believe that Mr. Schmidt and my grandpa were right: never can awards be falsified or bought.。
