第二部分阅读(共两节，满分40分)
第一节：阅读理解(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项中选出最佳选项。

A
Dragging a sleigh loaded with enough presents for the world's children can be no easy skill. But，since ancient times，the Christmas Eve duty has been performed with distinction by a team of beloved reindeer(驯鹿)．
Soon，however，Santa Claus may have to start looking around for a stronger type of animal，as a new research shows the species is becoming increasingly puny.A 16­year survey on the arctic Norwegian island of Svalbard found the reindeer there have declined in weight by an alarming 12 percent.
The reduction in average body­mass is being blamed on global warming. In the research presented lately at a meeting of the British Ecological Society in Liverpool，scientists have explained how rising temperatures are robbing female
reindeer of nutrients during important periods of pregnancy.
Snow in Svalbard typically covers the ground for eight months of the year，which，combined with low temperatures，limits grass growth to June and July. But as summer temperatures have increased by around 1.5℃，grass has become more productive，allowing female reindeer to gain more weight by the autumn and therefore to have more babies. However，warmer winters have brought with them greater rainfall which freezes when it settles on the snow. Reindeer can often access the poor food sources beneath the snow by clearing it away with their antlers(鹿角)，but they cannot break through the hard ice. As a result，female reindeer are becoming starved，causing them to abort their babies or give birth to much lighter young.
Despite the findings，reindeer appear to be suffering less from the effect of climate change than some other arctic species. Last week the scientists warned th at a third of the world’s polar bears could disappear in the next 40 years.
21．Why do female reindeer become fat in autumn?
A．The temperature is getting low.
B．They give birth to more babies.
C．Grass has grown well since summer.
D．They often break through the hard ice.
22．What can we infer from the text?
A．Climate change has little effect on reindeer.
B．Polar bears suffer more from climate change.
C．Reindeer have no trouble finding food in winter.
D．Polar bears will disappear in the near future.
23．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．The Christmas Eve duty will still be carried out by reindeer.
B．Reindeer has decreased in weight owing to global warming.
C．Global warming contributes to more young reindeer.
D．Many arctic species are at the risk of dying out.
B
Summer breaks may have both positive and negative effects on children with disabilities. The following points are commonly mentioned by experts who favor the idea of allowing a child to have a "rest period" in between school years.
- Summer breaks help kids to avoid "school overload": Children with special needs sometimes benefit from being able to "recharge their batteries" over the summer so that they are relaxed and ready to begin the next grade in fall. The day-to-day work of a school day can be too much for some students, and a summer break offers some well-needed time off in many cases.
- Involved parents can help children with academics at home: If there is concern that a student will regress(退步) with certain skills, academic regression can be avoided if parents are diligent about helping their kids with summer reading and math in the home environment.Teachers can provide specific suggestions and activities for the parents to carry over throughout the summer on a less structured basis, as compared to the school setting.
- Social interaction can take place in relaxed environments: If a parent is aware that his or her child has social difficulties, the parent can make extra efforts to provide opportunities for a special needs child to interact with other children. This can be carried out through planed trips to the library, pool, bookstore or friends' houses.
Parents who are truly concerned about the effects of summer break on students with disabilities may also wish to explore the option of year-round school for their children. Year-round school is not available everywhere, but when it is offered, it can be a wonderful alternative. With a number of options available for summer programs, many children with disabilities are able to advance to the next grade level without experiencing a great deal of regression.
24. What attitude does the author have towards summer breaks?
A. Negative.
B. Positive.
C. Both negative and positive.
D. Not mentioned in the passage.
25. In what ways do experts think summer breaks can affect children with disabilities?
① avoid "school overload" for the children with disabilities② recharge the batteries of the children with disabilities
③ involved parents can help the children with disabilities④ avoid academic regression for the children with disabilities
⑤ make up for what weakness the children with disabilities have ⑥ offer the children with disabilities chances to interact with other children
A. ①②③④
B. ②③④⑤
C. ③④⑤⑥
D. ①④⑤⑥
26. The following statements EXCEPT are what the parents can do to make good use of summer breaks.
A. Going to teachers for specific suggestions and activities.
B. Following the school setting to make up for their weakness.
C. Exploring the option of year-round school for their children.
D. Going to the library, pool, bookstore or friends' houses to interact with
other children.
27. What advantage can summer breaks bring to the children with disabilities by attending year-round school?
A. Avoiding behaving worse with certain skills.
B. Experiencing much regression.
C. Avoiding advancing to the next grade level.
D. Being a wonderful alternative.

Make some noise on May 7 for Music Monday. People in the U.S. and Canada will be celebrating the day by singing and playing musical instruments together. Music Monday is the first day of National Wanna Play Music Week, which runs from May 7 to 13. The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) organizes the weeklong celebration every year. This marks the sixth year the organization is teaming up with Canada's Coalition for Music Education (CME), the group that started Music Monday.
The CME started Music Monday in 2005. It is held every year on the first Monday of May. It was created to help people realize the importance of music education programs in schools and in communities. The day also celebrates the benefits of playing music for people of all ages.
NAMM researches the effects of music on children. They found that playing music has positive effects on thinking skills and on confidence. It also teaches
self-discipline and helps kids bond with their peers. "Learning musical skills can also help in your studies of other subjects, such as math, reading and language." Lora Bodmer, who works at NAMM, told TFK.
Their studies show that music can also help people form friendships and connect with different groups. Nimmons says anyone can join in on the day, not just those who are musically gifted. "I think that we all have the music in us, and it's a matter of confidence," she said. "Sing with other people or beat drums, just enjoy the music."
Participants can turn on the radio to join the fun. Each year a song is assigned to Music Monday. This year the song is "Tomorrow is Coming," by Luke Doucet. Students who would like to share in the celebration should let their teacher or organization leader know. But NAMM also encourages people to pick up any instrument and play anytime on the day. It's about having fun and enjoying the benefits that come with it.
28. It can be inferred that Music Monday was started .
A. a week before Mother's Day
B. by both NAMM and CME
C. just to add music lessons into schools
D. just to play music for communities
29. According to the third paragraph, music brings benefits to children
in aspects.
A. three
B. four
C. five
D. six
30. According to Nimmons, Music Monday participators should be .
A. talents in music
B. students in schools
C. old citizens in communities
D. without limits
31. Students are unable to join in Music Monday .
A. with radio turned on
B. without their teachers' permission
C. with any instrument
D. with their teachers' permission

At first glance, blowing a bubble net to trap sardines is not the smartest move a dolphin can make. Bubbles reflect sonar(声纳) signals better than sardines do, making the fish invisible and giving them a chance to escape. But mathematical tricks can get around this, and dolphins may naturally use them to locate the fishy signal amid the bubbles.
Timothy Leighton at the University of Southampton, UK, and his colleagues produced dolphin-like sonar clicks in a tank containing a "fish"—a small steel ball-hiding in a bubble cloud. Dolphins vary the amplitude(振幅) of their clicks, Leighton says, so he gave every second click a weaker amplitude than the first. Imitating what might go on in the dolphin brain, he then increased the echo from the weaker click to bring it up to the same level as the stronger click.
This made the two echoes from the steel ball identical. But because even a weak sonar click bounces strongly off bubbles, increasing the weaker echo made the bubble signal stand out even more than it did in the stronger click. Leighton used that fact to distinguish the steel ball from the bubbles.
Human sonar operators could apply the trick to detect weak signals from sea mines in shallow waters full of waves. Sonar systems are designed to find submarines(潜水艇) in deep, bubble-free water and are less effective in the shallows. "Developing sonar that can see sea mines in these conditions is important." says Leighton.
32. The underlined word "them" refers to .
A. sardines
B. sonar signals
C. mathematical tricks
D. blown bubbles
33. Where did Timothy Leighton imitate the work of the dolphin brain?
A. In a tank containing a true fish.
B. In a tank containing a steel ball.
C. In the ocean containing bubbles.
D. In the ocean containing fishes.
34. Why did Leighton increase the weaker echo?
A. Because he could make the two echoes from the steel ball the same.
B. Because he could make the bubble signal disappear gradually.
C. Because he could know if the dolphin recognized the difference.
D. Because he could recognize the bubbles from the steel ball.
35. According to Leighton, it is very important to improve .
A. sonar of seeing sea mines
B. sonar of seeing submarines
C. sonar of seeing dolphins
D. sonar of seeing bubbles

Bad News for the Highly Intelligent
There are advantages to being smart. People who do well on IQ tests tend to be more successful in the classroom and the workplace. They also tend to live longer, healthier lives, and are less likely to experience negative life events.
36 In a study, Ruth Karpinski and her colleagues carried out a study on the members of Mensa, a high IQ society. The study covered mood (情绪) disorders and anxiety disorders. Respondents were asked to report whether they had ever suffered from each disorder. The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported
disorder to the national average and found that Mensa’s highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders.
To explain their findings, Karpinski and his team bring up the hyper brain and hyper body theory. This theory holds that, for all of its advantages, being highly intelligent is associated with psychological and physiological “overexcitabilities”, or OE. 37 This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person. According to the theory, OEs are more common in highly intelligent people. A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining negative outcomes that simply wouldn’t occur to someone less intelligent. 38
The results of this study must be interpreted cautiously. Showing that a disorder is more common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesn’t prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder. 39 All the same, the findings set the stage for research that promises to cast new light on the link between intelligence and health. One possibility is that associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy (基因多效性), which occurs when a gene (基因) influences seemingly unrelated characteristics. 40 In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by genetic factors. From a practical standpoint, this research may lead to insights about how to improve people’s psychological and physical well-being.
A. Now there’s some bad news for those smart peopl e.
B. There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case.
C. It is an unusually strong reaction to an environmental threat or abuse.
D. Scientists did many researches to understand the reasons behind the advantages.
E. That may cause the bod y’s stress response, which may make the person even more anxious.
F. It’s also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ.
G. They found that the differences between the respondents were seen for mood and anxiety disorders.

Dear Lora,
I have just read your letter in that magazi ne. I know that you must be upset because of the present situation. But things are not so bad as you imagine. Just cheer up!
Your p arents won’t allow you to take part-time jobs probably because they consider study as your most important task. After all, the college entrance examination next year is crucial to your future. Moreover, they may think you are too young to work.
I suggest you have a talk with your parents so that they can be better informed of the benefits of doing part-time jobs. Besides, you can make a detailed plan of your work and study so as to convince them that you are old enough to manage things by yourself. (116)
Anyway, I do wish you a pleasant holiday.
Yours ,
Li Hua。
