第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）（素材包原创）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but sitting for long periods of time will hurt you forever.
Crossing your legs can also lea d to neck and back pain. Ideally, it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it’s not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic bones(骨盆) to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine（脊椎）, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.
You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get painful or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins（静脉）and nerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can
cause permanent nerve damage.
So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.
21. Which of the following is not the consequence of crossing legs?
A. Neck and back get hurt.
B. Feet and legs become numb.
C. Blood pressure goes up.
D. Pelvic bones keep perfect postures.
22. What does the underlined word “rotate” in Para3 mean?
A. break seriously
B. hurt greatly
C. move casually
D. straighten suddenly
23. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How to choose a proper sitting posture
B. It is advisable not to sit with legs crossed
C. How to develop beneficial habits
D. Blood pressure harms our bodies.
B
Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with ALS（渐冻症）to communicate with others from a phone.
The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.
For people suffering from ALS also known as motor neurone（神经元）disease, eye movement can be the only way to communicate. “Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor disabilities are expensive, not constant under sunlight, and require frequent readjustment and considerab le, relatively fixed systems,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.
“To reduce the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system running on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, constant, portable and easy to learn.”
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make for communication.
The label shows four grids（方格）of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids they want the letters belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm（计算程序）is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.
Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.
24. How does the new smartphone app help people with ALS?
A. By connecting its camera with sufferers’ appearance.
B. By communicating with people directly with a camera.
C. By changing eye movements into detailed written information.
D. By looking into the eyes of the sufferers.
25. Why did the researchers develop GazeSpeak
A. GazeSpeak will have fewer disadvantages.
B. Current systems can’t function effectively.
C. GazeSpeak can be properly used in the medical field.
D. Current systems can increase the risk of motor disabilities.
26. What can we know according the text?
A. Sufferers’ eye movements are determined by GazeSpeak.
B. Current systems are solid but costly for sufferers.
C. GazeSpeak has helped people a lot.
D. GazeSpeak hasn’t been practically on the market.
C
Our neighbor said the storm lasted four minutes. The town houses are destroyed or damaged. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.
On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication that severe weather was on its way. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some rolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.
No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. We had three flights of steps to get to the relatively safe closet down on the first floor.
As we reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch whipped through the doorframe. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have stuck through us.
Finally, Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I grasped Jimmy’s arm as the tornado sucked the door open and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and scalp(头皮) were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.
All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over.
27. How was the old couple aware of the tornado?
A. They learned it from their neighbors who passed their house.
B. They learned it from some common indications before a tornado.
C. They found the news report forecasting the tornado on TV.
D. They found the tornado on top of them when they were upstairs.
28.We can infer from paragraph4 that ____________
A. The old couple was very grateful to the branch.
B. The old couple missed the branch very much.
C. The old couple was hit by the branch on the head.
D. The old couple was fortunate to have a narrow escape.
29. Why did the old woman feel no pain in paragraph5?
A. Because she was worried about her husband.
B. Because she was brave enough to bear the pain.
C. Because she didn’t actually feel any pain.
D. Because she had a good husband to comfort her.
30. The passage is most probably taken from _______.
A. a brochure
B. a novel
C. newspaper
D. a magazine

The "best years of your life"? Maybe not, but you can learn to make the most of your high school days.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Although some people don't like using automatic hand dryers in restrooms, it may actually be argued that motion-sensing hand dryers are a practical alternative to paper towels. I believe that our school would benefit from investing in automatic hand dryers in all the restrooms.
First of all, the automatic hand dryer is very sanitary（卫生的）. Instead of pulling on a lever (手柄) touched by a large number of students, users can just stick their hands under the air dryer. No bacteria can get on them because there is nothing to touch. Kids wouldn't get sick from the paper towel dispensers (纸巾盒) .
In addition, if the school buys automatic hand dryers, we can save money. There is a terrible waste of paper towels in the restrooms. Students continuously pull on the lever for unneeded towels until the dispensers are empty. An automatic hand dryer costs about $500, with very little additional cost over time while paper towels can cost $25 a case, or about $500 a year. After just
one year, it would pay for itself.
Finally, our bathroom is a paper towel mess! There are always piles of paper towels on the floor. Sometimes the extras fall from the dispenser unused. Many times kids make their used towel into a ball and aim for a basket. But if they miss the target, the paper ball stays on the floor. Paper towels leave so much litter in the restrooms that the restrooms are a mess.
People use the hand dryers for just a few seconds, and they think that automatic hand dryers don't dry their hands as thoroughly as paper towels. However, studies have shown that when people dry their hands for at least 30 seconds, automatic dryers actually dry much better than paper towels. It is difficult to get every part of your hand dry using paper towels, but the air can if you take a few extra seconds.
As you see there are some good points, let's install automatic hand dryers as soon as possible!

W: Gordon, I’m going to Keswick in the Lake District this weekend.
M: Really?
W: Yeah, five of us. Why don’t you join us? We’re getting to Keswick on Friday. Then we’re going boating on Saturday. And on Sunday, we’re going to do some shopping. Then I will take some time to visit my aunt Lucy.
M: You’re not going to camp, are you? Isn’t it a bit cold?
W: No, we’re not. It is a bit cold. We’re staying in a country inn. It’s not like five-star hotels or anything. But it’s really comfortable.
M: Hmm, sounds interesting. You know, it’s the boating that I don’t like.
W: Well, what are you up to?
M: Sit on my sofa all weekend and watch the DVDs I’ve just bought. And that will be a busy
weekend. I may finish watching Friends.
W: I don’t know how you can do that all weekend, Gordon. I’d get bored.
M: I know, I know. But that’s really what I w ant to do.

M: Hello. Welcome to the program. In America, May and June are the traditional months for graduations. A listener in China, Wang Ming, who is about to get an engineering degree, wants to know how American college graduates find jobs. Right now, the answer is: not very easily. A latest study on the college job market showed that employers wanted to hire 22% fewer graduates this year than last. The study also showed that just 20% of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now. This is compared to half of students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. But one difference: fewer of this year’s graduates have started to search for jobs. Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already, and to have accepted a job. This is among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree. On average, engineering majors expect to start at about $62,000 a year.
