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分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
As children return to school this fall and sign up for a new year’s worth of etracurricular(课外的) activities,parents should eep one question in mind. Whether your id loves Little League or gymnastics, as the program organiers this “Which ids get awards?” If the answer is“Everybody gets a souvenir”, please find another program.
I have spent years reporting on the effects of praise and rewards on ids. The science is clear. Awards can be powerful motivators(动力), but nonstop recognition does not inspire children to succeed.Instead, it can mae them fail to realie their full potential.
It turns out that,once ids are epert in a tas,the ecitement and uncertainty of real competition may become the activity’s very appeal.
If children now they will automatically get an award,what is the motivator for improvement? Why bother learning problem-solving sills, when there are never obstacles to begin with? It’s accepted that,before punishing children,we must consider their individual levels of cognitive(认知的)and emotional development. Then we monitor them, changing our approach if there’s a negative outcome. However, when it comes to rewards, people argue that ids must be treated equally:Everyone must always win. That is misguided. And there are negative outcomes. Not just for specific children,but for society as a whole.
“In life, you’re going to lose more often than you win, even if you’re good at something,” Ms. Twenge told me, “You’ve got to get used to that to eep going.”
When children mae mistaes, our job should not be to spin those losses into decorated victories. Instead, our job is to help ids overcome difficulties, to help them see that progress over time is more important than a particular win or loss, and to help them politely congratulate the child who succeeded even when they failed. This school year, let’s fight for a id’s right to lose.
21.The passage tells us that ______.
A.children should be given awards automatically
B.children should be punished when they fail
C.it is not a good idea to give children awards automatically
D.it is a good idea to let children win instead of losing
22.From this passage, we can learn______ .
A.people are going to lose more than they win
B.people should do anything that can prevent children from failing
C.people fight very hard for children’s right
D.people shouldn’t bother children’s problem-solving sills
23.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.Never lose the opportunity for pries
B.Punishing may do harm to children
C.Losing sometimes is good for children
D.Mae children participate in more activities
B
The first thing that struc me about Hossa was the pure, total silence. It’s almost as if time stands still here, with nothing so much as a light wind disturbing the mirror-lie laes and trees that etend as far as the eye can see.
This is undoubtedly the reward for those who drive into this wilderness off the main E63 highway 750m northeast of Helsini. Even by Finnish standards, Hossa is remote. You’re more liely
to come across a reindeer(驯鹿)than a fellow hier along most of the 90m of mared trails through the forest that mae up one of the oldest hiing areas in Finland.
It’s this sense of escapism that will no doubt attract far more visitors to Hossa. The long-standing relationship between man and nature in Hossa dates bac thousands of years. The first settlers arrived after the last ice age, following the wild reindeer that populated the north of Finland as the climate warmed. The Väriallio roc wall, which rises more than 10m perpendicular(垂直的)from Lae Somerjärvi, reveals evidence of early life here Stone Age paintings on the roc’s face are estimated to be up to 4,500 years old, though they weren’t discovered until 1977. It’s not surprising that the Väriallio paintings remained hidden for so long given that they could only be reached by boat or on foot (or si) when the lae froe over in each winter. Today, the roc wall and its new viewing platform are accessible by a picturesque 4.5m footpath from the Lihapyörre paring area, a short drive from the Hossa Visitor Centre.
There’s still an air of mystery surrounding the eact age and meaning of the 60 painted figures on the roc’s face. The most attractive are four human shapes with triangular heads, a horned(长角的)figure thought to describe a dancing shaman(通灵大师)and about 30 detailed reindeer drawings.
24. From the first paragraph we now ________
A. nothing made an impression on the writer
B. there is a light wind
C. the writer felt sad
D. there are only a few wonderful trees
25. From the passage, we can infer that______.
A. the 60 painted figures on the roc’s face is meaningless
B. people used to drive to visit the Väriallio paintings
C. people sometimes visit Hossa in order to hide from their enemy
D. few people are visiting Hossa
26. Which of the following tells us there was life there long time ago?
A. The Väriallio roc wall
B. the wild reindeer
C. the warm climate
D. the new viewing platform
27. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?
A. The laes there are clear.
B. The wild reindeer populated the north of Finland
C. Stone Age paintings were discovered 4500 years ago
D. The weather there is very cold in winter.
C
Throughout history, humans have eisted side-by-side with bacteria and viruses. We have developed gradually to resist them, and in response they have developed new ways of infecting us.
We have had antibiotics(抗生素)for almost a century, ever since Aleander Fleming discovered penicillin. In response, bacteria have responded by developing antibiotic resistance. The battle is endless because we spend so much time with pathogens(病原体), we sometimes develop a ind of natural situation where we can’t mae progress.
However, what would happen if we were suddenly eposed to deadly bacteria and viruses that have been absent for thousands of years, or that we have never met before?
We may be about to find out. Climate change is melting permafrost(冻土)soils that have been froen for thousands of years, and as the soils melt they are releasing ancient viruses and bacteria that are springing bac to life.
In August 2016, in a remote corner called the Yamal Peninsula in the Arctic Circle, a 12-year-old boy died and at least twenty people were hospitalised after being infected by anthra.(炭疽病)
The theory is that, over 75 years ago, a reindeer infected with anthra died and its froen body became trapped under a layer of froen soil, nown as permafrost. There it stayed until a heat-wave in the summer of 2016, when the permafrost melted.
This eposed the reindeer body and released infectious anthra into nearby water and soil, and then into the food supply. More than 2,000 reindeer eating grass nearby became infected, which then led to the small number of human cases. The fear is that this will not be a single case.
As the Earth warms, more permafrost will melt. Under normal circumstances, superficial(表面的)permafrost layers about 50cm deep melt every summer. But now global warming is gradually eposing older permafrost layers.
28. According to the passage we can say _______
A. anthra infected a small number of humans, which led to reindeer cases
B. there is a heat-wave every year
C. now global warming is eposing the same permafrost layers.
D. the war between humans and bacteria has not been finished.
29. When coming to the possibility of being eposed to deadly bacteria that has been absent for
thousands of years, the writer thins ______________
A. the possibility is indeed high
B. the possibility is low
C. people are being infected now
D. reindeer are being infected now
30. If we want to avoid releasing ancient viruses and bacteria, what should we do first? We should
_________
A. stop developing antibiotics
B. deal with global warming
C. control reindeer
D. protect rivers
31. After reading the passage we may find ________
A. the writer is worried
B. the writer is confident.
C. the writer nows how to deal with the problem
D. the writer thins highly of bacteria
D
I now the feelings of my heart, and I now men. I am not made lie any of those I have seen; I cautiously choose to believe that I am not made lie any of those who are in eistence. If I am not better, at least I am different. Whether Nature has acted rightly or wrongly in destroying the mould(模具)in which she cast me can only be decided after I have been read.
Let the trumpet(小号)of the Day of Judgement sound when it will, I will present myself before the Greatest Judge with this boo in my hand. I will say bravely ‘This is what I have done, what I have thought, what I was. I have told the good and the bad with equal honesty. I have neither left out anything bad, nor added anything good. If I have occasionally made use of some embellishments, this has only been in order to fill a gap caused by lac of memory. I may have assumed the truth of that which I new might have been true, never of that which I new to be false.
I have shown myself as I was mean and shameless, good, high-minded and greatly admired, according as I was one or the other. I have eposed my most private self even as You have seen it, O Forever Eisting Being. Gather round me the countless host of my fellow-men; let them hear my confessions(告罪), feel sadness for my unworthiness, and blush(脸红)for my imperfections. Then let each of them in turn reveal, with the same honesty, the secrets of his heart at the foot of the Greatest Judge, and say, if he dare, “I was better than that man!” ’
32. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The writer is honest and perfect and well admired
B. There might be something that is not eactly true in the writer’s boo
C. Others will follow the writer to reveal their unworthiness
D. We can draw a conclusion that people have read the writer’s boo
33. The writer may agree that____________.
A. he is not ready for the Day of Judgement
B. his behavior always stays the same
C. he has no faith in himself
D. people should be honest and different
34. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. lies
B. achievements
C. decorations
D. wonders
35. We may infer from the passage that________.
A. the writer thins others might not say they were better than him
B. the writer wished to be mean and shameless
C. the writer admitted he had hidden something
D. others felt guilty for not helping the writer
