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）
A
Have you ever wondered how dogs can walk barefoot(赤脚)in the snow?Now a Japanese scientist may have the answer-an inside central heating system.
The secret lies in how dogs circulate(使循环)their blood to prevent cold surfaces from chilling(使冷却)the rest of their bodies,according to Hiroyoshi Ninomiya,a professor at Yamazaki Gakuen University.
The system uses warm,oxygenated blood(含氧血)to heat the cold blood that has been in contact with a cold surface before returning it to the dog's heart and central circulation."Dogs exchange heat at the end of their legs.Arterial(动脉的)blood flows to the end of their legs and then heats up venous(静脉的)blood before returning it to the heart,"Ninomiya said of his findings."In other words,they have a heat exchange system in their feet."
Ninomiya studied a well-kept dog's leg under a microscope and found that because of the nearness of arteries and veins(静脉)in the foot pad,the heat in the blood carried from the heart to the arteries is easily conducted to the cooler blood in the veins.
This heat transference(热量转换)keeps a constant temperature in the foot pad,even when exposed to very cold conditions.
Dogs are not alone in having this sort of heat exchange system,which is shared by other animals such as dolphins.
21．Who is Hiroyoshi Ninomiya?
A．A famous writer.
B．A crazy dog lover.
C．An amazing doctor.
D．A university professor.
22．According to Para.3,where can dogs exchange heat?
A．On the rest of their bodies.B．On the top of their heads.
C．At the end of their legs.D．Inside their deep hearts.
23．Where does this text probably come from?
A．A travel magazine.B．A science report.
C．A maths book.D．A personal diary.

Can women be good astronauts?To figure it out,six Russian women will be sent into a space simulator （模拟器)for eight days to carry out a unique experiment.
“It’s interesting for us to see what is special about the way they communicate with each other,”said Sergei Ponomaryov,the experiment’s leader.
“It will be particularly interesting in terms of psychology（心理学）,”said Igor Ushakov,director of Moscow’s Institute of Biomedical Problems.“I’d like to wish you a lack of conflicts,even though they say that in one kitchen,two housewives find it hard to live together,”he added.
The volunteers include scientific researchers,a doctor and a psychologist.The test period simulates a flight to the moon and back,with the women carrying out10experiments covering psychology and human biology.
In1963,Russia sent the first woman into space,Valentina Tereshkova,but has lagged behind(落后) since then.Several years ago it sent its fourth female astronaut into space,Yelena Serova.Serova complained of a great deal of media interest in how she would wash her hair aboard the International Space Station, pointing out that male astronauts did not face the same line of questioning.
Like other astronauts on the International Space Station,the women will have no shower,washing with wet wipes instead.They plan to spend their one and a half hours per day of free time watching films,reading and playing board games.Team leader Yelena Luchnitskaya said she expected the women to deal with any conflict.
24．What does passage mainly talk about?
A．How to be good astronauts?
B．Can women leave without conflicts in space?
C．Do women make good astronauts?
D．How do women communicate in space.
25．Why will the unique experiment be carried out?
A．To test whether women can be good astronauts.
B．To collect information about condition in space.
C．To see how women live in space
D．To observe the way women solve conflicts
26．According to the passage,who was once sent to space?
A．Igor Ushakov B．Yelena Serova
C．Sergei Ponomaryov D．Yelena Luchnitskaya
27．From the passage,we know that________
A．six Russian women will be sent into space.
B．Sergei Ponomaryov is in charge of the experiment.
C．Valentina Tereshkova was the first American woman into space
D．a great deal of media is interested in how male and female astronauts
wash their hair aboard
C
People often talk about cultural differences between western and eastern countries,but how about the western world itself?Surprisingly,a closer look at it can reveal a good many curious details.
The most obvious characteristic of the majority of Americans is that they smile a lot.It does not matter whether they have a strong reason to smile；they do it，sometimes simply because they have to.A smile is not just a powerful marketing tool but also a way to show that someone is friendly，and that life in general is fine. Europeans,on the contrary(相反),prefer to keep a more neutral(不带感情色彩的)facial expression.They smile mostly when they are in a good mood，or feel amused；if not,a European's face will remain neutral,or even dull.In Russia,for example,there is a proverb saying that laughing for no reason is a sign of a fool.It does not mean that Europeans are serious,or that they do not have a sense of humor.
The same refers to communication in general.Americans are extremely communicative;small talks and chats are common.Europeans talk mostly when there is something to say,and rarely enter communication just for the purpose of talking to other people.American people prefer to express what they think carefully, considering how it might affect surrounding people.Europeans are more straightforward,even with unfamiliar people.A European friend will almost always voice his opinion on different occasions,and will not hesitate to remind you that you need to lose some weight or take a shower.
It can be said that Americans are people of contrasts.They are open-minded,flexible,and ready to accept everything new enthusiastically;but at the same time,American society manages to bring up unbelievable conservatives(保守者).Americans are extremely politically correct,which,in most cases,is
indeed a secure and beneficial practice,but it can also mess up daily or even private communication, sometimes preventing having close relationships.Europeans,on the contrary,are more straightforward, preferring to tell the truth in direct ways.Each way of communication is different—neither is correct or incorrect.
28．What does the author say about smiling?
A．It is a powerful marketing tool across cultures.
B．It is culture-related within western countries.
C．It is thought of as a sign of a fool in America.
D．It is regarded as a social necessity in Europe.
29．What is typical of Europeans'communication?
A．Beating around the bush.B．Hiding their feelings carefully.
C．Expressing themselves openly.D．Having small talks and chats.
30．What does the underlined word“it”in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Being politically correct.
B．Being straightforward.
C．Accepting everything new.
D．Raising unbelievable conservatives.
31．How is the text mainly developed?
A．By making comparisons.B．By analyzing cause and effect.
C．By classifying body language.D．By discussing research findings.
D
A short while ago,I lost access to my WeChat account.I am not sure why it wouldn’t let me log in; perhaps it was my ancient,out-of-date phone.But I wasn’t too upset because it offered me an opportunity to take a break from social media---something more and more people are doing.
In the United States,Twitter is losing millions of users each month and Facebook has seen a44percent decline among its younger users.Some of these users may have deserted Twitter and Facebook for other social media platforms,while many others have quit because they felt that social media was having a negative effect on their happiness and overall quality of life.
Stars such as Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeren have taken a break from social media because they were tired of so many Internet trolls(网络喷子)leaving negative comments.Ordinary people(like me)are turning away from it because of the feeling that they were spending more time online and enjoying less.
It is not unusual for people to spend two or three hours a day posting or reading posts,to the point where it becomes an addiction.And it is an addiction.There is a chemical in your brain known as dopamine(多巴胺) which is sometimes called the"reward molecule"and its release gives you a feeling of pleasure.For instance, when you post a photo on WeChat and get a hundred likes,you feel happy.That’s dopamine at work.
In my case,being off WeChat left me with a feeling of anxiety for a few days.No doubt I missed my dopamine.And I got e-mails from friends wondering if I was fine or if I was just being anti-social(不喜欢社交的).But I soon began to feel quite peaceful and started to worry less about what other people were doing and concentrate more on my personal life.And it is an added bonus that I’m getting better sleep at night.
I’m not advocating that all of you quit social media,but spending less time on these platforms does bring you advantages.You could start by leaving your phone at home when you go to school(For some,that’s already a school rule).And it is also a good idea to charge your phone outside of your bedroom at night,as you are unlikely to get a good night’s sleep when the notification(通知)bell keeps ringing.
Someday I may reconnect with my WeChat account,but I’m not in a hurry.Life can be more relaxing and just as interesting without it.
32．The author mentions his/her disconnection with WeChat at the beginning of the passage to________. A．introduce the disadvantages of social media
B．explain why he lost access to his WeChat account
C．illustrate the function of dopamine
D．prove how WeChat makes life easier
33．What is the current situation of social media in the United States according to the passage? A．Twitter and Facebook dominate all the social media.
B．Famous people have deserted Twitter and Facebook for other social media.
C．An increasing number of people are losing interest in social media.
D．Social media add to people’s happiness and life convenience.
34．What does the fourth paragraph talk about?
A．How dopamine works when you are posting or reading posts.
B．The reason behind people’s addiction to social media.
C．Why WeChat is so popular among ordinary people.
D．What you can do if you want to get many likes on WeChat.
35．What is the author’s attitude towards social media?
A．To turn away from them as soon as possible.
B．To choose a social media platform that suits you.
C．To connect with them is acceptable if you aren’t addicted to it.
D．To quit them will make your life more relaxing and interesting.
第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Students of all ages might have more on their minds now than ever before—from work,to school to all of the other distractions(分心的事物)pulling at them.So how can they be expected to concentrate,focus and memorize the educational materials they have in front of them each night?36But fortunately, here are some tips on how you can maximize your memory,focus and concentration.
37Seems like a no-brainer,but keeping an extra piece of paper nearby when you are in class or at home will allow you to keep a note of what you just learned.By transforming those moments into your own, they will have more meaning to you.
Review regularly.Just think about how much information you look at or listen to in a typical day.That’s why you need to give yourself a daily time set aside just for reviewing.38
Don’t multitask.If you are on the computer or have your phone nearby,you may try to multitask.In addition to doing your work,you may want to send emails,update your Facebook page or look at other websites.DON’T!39And complete your study in a shorter amount of time with longer lasting results.
Chop up for memory.40It’s logical that a smaller piece of knowledge is easier to remember than a large block of information.
A．It’s really difficult.
B．Write more things down.
C．Put your focus on the one thing you are studying.
D．Understand the information so that you can remember it in a shorter time.
E.Another way to help your memory is to break information into smaller pieces.
F.Keep your tasks at hand and memorize some key information whenever you have free time.
G.You can take10to15minutes to look over your notes and any material that you were given.
