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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
Though they may often be thought of as services for travelers，ferries are often ignored as tourist opportunities.In cities and regions all over the world，ferries offer an advantage point of top destinations.
Staten Island Ferry
Take a famous ride in one of the world’s greatest cities；New York’s Staten Island Ferry is free all day，every day.On this 25-minute trip between Manhattan and Staten Island，passengers will get a fresh view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
Golden Horn Ferry
The Bosporus is a narrow，natural strait located in northwestern Turkey，which carries many a boat between its European and Asian shores.Ferries here offer 20-minute trips or six-hour tours into the Golden Horn.Both feature(以……为特色) marks made on the city by 13 different civilizations，including the Egyptians and Bulgarians.
Star Ferry
The Star Ferry travels between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island，providing scenes of striking color at sunset in the sky and against the skyline.The two-level Shining Star ferry is a reinvention of boats from the 1920s and offers tours of the harbor.
Alaska Marine Highway System
Though many cities host eye-catching ferry rides，other locations provide water journeys of a much greater range.Covering more than 3,500 miles，the Alaska Marine Highway System stretches along the coast from southern Washington to the Aleutian Islands.On this voyage，travelers can see wildlife including whales and bears，the largest national forest in the U．S.，and Alaska-native villages.While on the journey，travelers can book a two- or four-person cottage or put up a tent on
one of the ferries.
Each with its own set of sights and experiences，ferries share just one thing—a new angle to redescribe your favorite place.
1．Which is recommended to those in favor of free ferries?
A．Star Ferry.
B．Staten Island Ferry.
C．Golden Horn Ferry.

2．What’s special about the Shining Star ferry among the four ferries?
A．It travels between two countries.
B．The ferry was born out of old boats.
C．Its tours take the longest time.
D．It provides services in evenings.
[答案] B
[解析]细节理解题。

根据Star Ferry部分中的“The two-level Shining Star ferry is a reinvention of boats from the 1920s”可知，Shining Star ferry改装自20世纪20年代的旧船，这正是它的特别之处。

3．What can travelers experience through the Alaska Marine Highway System?
A．Local mountain villages.
B．The Statue of Liberty.
C．U.S.’s largest national forest.
D．Striking color at sunset.
[答案] C
[解析]细节理解题。

根据Alaska Marine Highway System部分中的倒数第二句“On this voyage，travelers can see wildlife including whales and bears，the largest national forest in the U．S.，and Alaska-native villages.”可知[答案]。

4．What is the common characteristic of these ferries?
A．They provide fantastic European rides.
B．They feature ancient civilizations.
C．They offer at least half an hour’s ride.
D．They help travelers appreciate views along the way.
[答案] D
[解析]推理判断题。

根据文章对四种渡轮的介绍和最后一段可知，这些渡轮有一点相同之处，那就是让游客可以从一个全新的角度欣赏自己喜爱的地方。

D项和这一信息匹配，故选D。

B
Think of a seed buried in a pot.It’s dark down there in the potting soil.There’s no light，no sunshine.So how does it know which way is up and which way is down？It does know.Seeds routinely send shoots up toward the sky，and roots the other way.Darkness doesn’t confuse them.Somehow，they get it right.
More amazingly，if you turn a seedling(秧苗) or a whole bunch of seedlings upside down，as Thomas Andrew Knight of the Royal Society did around 200 years ago，the tips and roots of the plant will sense，“Hey，I’m upside down，”and will wiggle(扭动) their way to the right direction，doing a U-turn.
How do they know？According to botanist Daniel Chamovitz，Thomas Knight about 200 years ago assumed that plants must sense gravity.Knight proved it with a crazy experiment involving a spinning plate.
He attached a bunch of plant seedlings onto a disc.The plate was then turned by a water wheel powered by a local stream at a speed of 150 revolutions per minute for several days.
If you’ve ever been at an amusement park in a spinning teacup，you know that because of centrifugal(离心的) force you get pushed away from the center of the spinning object toward the outside.
Knight wondered，would the plants respond to the centrifugal pull of gravity and point their roots to the outside of the spinning plate？When he looked，that’s what they’d done.Every plant on the disc had responded to the pull of gravity，and pointed its roots to the outside.The roots pointed out，and the shoots pointed in.So Thomas Knight proved that plants can and do sense the pull.
5．How does the author write about the young seedling in Paragraph 2?
A．By lively description.
B．By accurate statement.
C．By objective presentation.
D．By gentle persuasion.
[答案] A
[解析]写作手法题。

从第二段中的“‘Hey，I’m upside down，’and will wiggle(扭动) their way to the right direction，doing a U-turn.”可知，作者对这株幼苗的描写十分生动形象。

6．What determines the direction the plants choose?
A．Soil. B．Sunshine.
C．Darkness. D．The pull of the earth.
[答案] D
[解析]细节理解题。

根据第一段可知，土壤、阳光和黑暗均不决定植物对方向的判定；根据第三段的内容和最后一段Knight的圆盘试验结果可知，地球引力影响植物对方向的判定。

7．What’s the best title for the text?
A．What Does a Plant Know?
B．Which Direction Do Plants Grow in?
C．How Do Plants Decide：Up or Down?
D．Why Do Plants Grow Towards the Sun?
[答案] C
[解析]标题归纳题。

本文重点讲述的是植物是怎么辨别生长方向的(通过感知引力)。

故选C。

C
In our research，we surveyed nearly 1,400 consumers about what they had eaten over the last 24 hours and how often they bought foods at supermarkets.We also took note of individual characteristics.When it came to making unhealthy food choices，a consumer’s individual characteristics mattered more than where they shopped.
Young consumers were less likely to eat fruits and vegetables.People without college degrees consumed significantly more sugar and butter.With age and education came better eating habits.Older people and college graduates ate more fruits and vegetables.
The clear role played by these connections argues for approaches to helping people improve the diet choices they make.Particularly when it comes to eating less junk food，targeted interventions(干预) are needed in addition to building supermarkets and stocking them with “good for you” foods.Policymakers should consider putting in place proven strategies(策略) that push consumers to change their shopping behaviors，such as taxing foods high in added sugars.
In 2014，Berkeley became the first city in the U．S. to put a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks，and consumption of such drinks dropped by more than 20 percent.In Mexico，an 8 percent tax on high-calorie foods put in place the same year reduced junk food purchases by about 5 percent.
Evidence that people with lower levels of education may be more likely to reduce their consumption of sugarsweetened drinks in the face of such a tax also comes from Mexico.With more U．S. cities following suit，much-needed additional research should follow on whether these taxes effectively reduce consumption.
Some strategies that are not obvious and are aimed at changing individual behaviors also could make a difference in eating and shopping habits.In-store marketing—where and how foods are put—has shown promise of increasing the sales of healthy foods in supermarkets of low-income neighborhoods.
Technology may also play a role.Research has shown that just being exposed to electronically delivered dietary feedback(反馈)，including advice on how to eat more fruits and vegetables，led to increased consumption of such foods among lower-income individuals with lower levels of education.
8．Which of the following would the author agree from the first paragraph?
A．Personal tastes vary greatly.
B．You are what you eat.
C．You eat what you are.
D．More supermarkets should be built.
[答案] C
[解析]推理判断题。

根据第一段中的“a consumer’s individual characteristics mattered more than where they shopped”可知，在选择食品时，消费者的个人特点要比购物地点更有决定性，因为年龄和受教育程度决定购买食品的种类，进而形成饮食习惯，即你的个人特点决定你的饮食习惯。

第二段对此阐释得更加清楚，故C项最佳。

9．What does the underlined word “connections” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Education backgrounds decide economic income.
B．Age and education affect the choices of foods.
C．Older consumers tend to buy cheap foods.
D．Individual characteristics influence where to shop.
[答案] B
[解析]词义猜测题。

根据第二段中的“With age and education came better eating habits.”可知，饮食习惯受年龄和受教育程度的影响，故此处connections指上文提及的年龄和受教育程度与个人饮食习惯之间的关联。

故选B。

10．How does the author feel about the taxes?
A．Doubtful. B．Opposed.
C．Indifferent. D．Cautious.
[答案] D
[解析]观点态度题。

从第四段的数字可知，作者认为征税政策在特定城市的确有效，再结合第五段最后一句可知，作者认为征税政策的效果还需进一步论证，故作者对征税政策是持谨慎态度的。

故选D。

11．What does the author mainly talk about in the text?
A．Advice on improving eating habits.
B．The importance of healthy foods.
C．People’s different food preferences.
D．A latest research discovery.
[答案] A
[解析]主旨大意题。

作者开篇提到一项研究发现，由此引出改善个人饮食习惯的几种方法。

故作者主要在文中谈了改善个人饮食习惯的方法。

故选A。

D
Not too long ago，one of my daughter’s middle-school teachers told me that my daughter was spending a lot of time on her phone during class.This didn’t surprise me.I am a filmmaker and I’m making the documentary(纪录片) “Screenagers：Growing Up in the Digital Age”precisely because I know how strongly technology attracts youth and how confused we are as a society about what to do about that.
This month，the Screenagers team and I completed a survey of people who were interested in the topic of our film to gather data on middle-school phone rules.More than 1,200 middle school parents in the United States responded.Two striking findings appeared：
·55% of the parents said their children’s middle schools now allow cellphone use，with public schools being more likely than private schools to allow it.
·More than 80% of parents do not want their kids to use cellphones during school.
Recently，France announced it is banning cellphones in school for all students age 15 and
under，starting next fall.From our survey，it’s not only parents who support “away for the day”policies，which require students to leave their phones out of reach—so does science.
We know that the frontal lobe(脑叶)—the part of the brain responsible for impulse(冲动) control—is not fully developed in middle school-aged children.When we expect kids to learn how to handle phone use in places like classrooms，we are setting many of them up for failure.
Schools prohibiting cellphones saw student test scores improve by 6.41%，according to a 2015 study from the United Kingdom.In the US，administrators of schools that have adopted “away for the day” policies have reported improvements in students’ emotional well-being too.
It is time we should follow France’s lead and do what is best for our middle-school students today.
12．Why did the author feel no surprise about her daughter’s behavior?
A．Her daughter didn’t work very hard.
B．Films have attracted students deeply.
C．Technology has influenced youth greatly.
D．The digital world is important to students.
[答案] C
[解析]细节理解题。

根据第一段最后一句可知，作者深知高科技产品对青年人有巨大的影响。

故选C。

13．What is the author’s attitude towards students’ using cellphones during class? A．Supportive. B．Unclear.
C．Concerned. D．Indifferent.
[答案] C
[解析]观点态度题。

根据第一段最后一句中的“and how confused we are as a society about what to do about that”以及最后一段可知，作者对学生在课堂上使用手机持关切的态度。

故选
C。

14．What does the Screenagers team’s survey find?
A．Using phones frequently does harm to the brain.
B．Banning phones in school gets scientific support.
C．Private schools have loosed control over phones.
D．Students are not allowed to use phones.
[答案] B
[解析]细节理解题。

第五段提到“From our survey，it’s not only parents who support ‘away for the day’ policies...so does science”；第六段提供了强有力的科学证据，说明脑叶尚未完全发育成熟的中学生还不能很好地控制自己的冲动，即他们难以正确处理手机对他们学习造成的不利影响。

故选B。

15．What is the text mainly about?
A．Cellphones have a bad influence on students’ brain.
B．Cellphones aren’t a smart choice in middle schools.
C．Students without cellphones make rapid progress in study.
D．Western countries tend to ban the use of cellphones in school.
[答案] B
[解析]主旨大意题。

文章首先谈到学生在课堂上使用手机的现象，进而通过调查、对比、举例等方法进行论证，最后得出结论：手机对在校学习的中学生来说并不是一个明智的选择。

故选B。

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Are supermarkets designed to persuade us to buy more？When you enter a supermarket，the manager knows better than you：how you will behave—which way you will walk，where you will look，what will make you buy one product rather than another.When customers go into a shop，they naturally look to their left but move clockwise towards the right. 16 And the layout is designed
to take shoppers around the store，aisle(通道) after aisle，from left to right.Then shoppers will pay attention to all the products.
17 This gives the impression that only healthy food is sold in the shop.Basic food like sugar and tea，are not put near each other.They are kept in different aisles so customers are taken past other attractive foods before they find what they want.In this way，shoppers are encouraged to buy products that they do not really want.
People walk quickly through narrow aisles，while they move slowly in wide aisles and give more attention to the products.One best-selling position for products is at the end of aisles，because shoppers slow down to turn into the next aisle. 18 Supermarkets are paid by food manufactures to put their products in each of these high-selling places.
Sweets are often placed at children’s eye level at the checkout. 19
More is bought from a fifteen-foot display of one type of product (e.g.cereal，washing powder) than from a ten-foot one.Customers also buy more when shelves are full than when they are half empty. 20 This is probably because they feel there is something wrong with those products that are there.
A．While parents are waiting to pay，children reach for the sweets and put them in the shopping cart.
B．There are always enough products prepared for customers in the supermarket.
C．So supermarket entrances are usually on the left of the building.
D．Fresh fruit and vegetables are displayed near supermarket entrances.
E．They do not like to buy from shelves with few products on them.
F．Supermarkets are one of children’s favorite places and they are also big consumers. G．Another is on shelves at eye level.
