第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）As any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A bab y’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦) in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.
Researchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them—whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response, suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’s cry.
A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women
as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds — roughly the
time it takes to blink(眨眼) — two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women—even if they had no children.
Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You mi ght read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary(演化的) view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” Th e study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.
Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.
1、A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it ________.
A．keeps on crying B．cries harder than adults
C．causes people great pain D．makes people feel strong emotions
2、The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．cause B．remove C．avoid D．cure
3、What may Christine Parsons agree to?
A．A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.
B．Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cries.
C．Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.
D．Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cry.
4、What’s the main idea of the text?
A．How to recognize different babies’ cries.
B．Why you can’t get a baby’s cry out of your head.
C．Why a baby is easy and likely to cry.
D．How to prevent a baby crying.

（8分）“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression in one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be ple asant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they ca re enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that
much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
1、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．The salesgirl is impolite.
B．The salesgirl is angry.
C．The salesgirl cares about the author.
D．The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
2、By saying “Have a nice day!”, a stranger may ________.
A．try to be polite to you B．express thanks to you
C．give his blessing to you D．share his happiness with you
3、What is the best title of the passage?
A．Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation
B．Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture
C．Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting
D．Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom

25．（10分）Environmental experts warn that our planet is drowning in plastic.
The world’s cities produce 2 billion tons of trash every year. By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic.
Now, that may be changing. A new environmentally-friendly shopping model was recently launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This shopping model, called Loop, aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones.
Loop is the idea of Terra Cycle, an American-based recycling company. Its chief, Tom Szaky. told the Associated Press (AP) that “removing plastics from the ocean is not enough.” He said the point is to get away from single-use packages. Szaky said that Loop is the future of shopping. But it comes from an idea of the past.
He compared it to the “milkman model” of the 1950s in the United States. Back then, someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles and then left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zero-waste.
Jennifer Morgan from the environmental non-profit organization Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. She said that “Greenpeace welcomes the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from throwaway cu lture and disposability.” But Morgan questioned whether companies worldwide are ready to change their business models.
Loop is set to launch later this year in three eastern U.S. states, and also in Paris, France and some of the surrounding area. Then Loop plans to expand to the U.S. West Coast, Toronto, Canada and Britain by the end of this year or 2020.
1、What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A．Provide background information. B．Advocate zero-waste lifestyle. C．Explain the reason for trash. D．Introduce a new topic.
2、Where does the idea “Loop” come from?
A．The World Economic Forum. B．Demand of some companies. C．Zero-waste model. D．The milkman model.
3、Which countries is Loop expected to expand to by 2020?
A．United States and Switzerland. B．Switzerland and Britain. C．Canada and Britain. D．France and Canada.
4、What is the text mainly about?
A．A new shopping model. B．The development of future city. C．The world’s environmental issue.D．The concerns of future shopping.
