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）If anyone knows what makes a great children's book, it must be Sussex author and illustrator(插图家) Jane Hissey. Her "Old Bear" books have achieved classic status in a variety of formats.
I caught up with Jane at her home in the East Sussex countryside and asked her what she thinks is the secret of a classic children's book. "That's a difficult one. I suppose it's got to be relevant to the child's stage of development-for young children, pictures on a page that are familiar, for older children, an experience. The book should be familiar, but hold some surprises too to keep the interest. It must inspire and delight, but there are the things that happen every day."
After the birth of her first child, she gave up teaching and worked on her own artwork, drawing pictures of teddy bears. An editor from a publishing company saw her work and invited Jane to do a children's book. Over the years, from the first "Old Bear" book in 1988, her children have made a huge contribution—not least in terms of plot. She said, "I used to give my children the toys to play with—and they had tea parties and so on. One of my bear characters, "Little Bear", is the same age as Ralph, my youngest, who's seven now. All the children have joined in my work and, in years to come, they will realize how much."
"I hope I'll know when people are getting tired of the characters. If ever they did, I think I'd go on drawing them for fun," Jane continued, "My own children have been very useful to me in my work, but as they are older now, I'll just have to hope that other people's children can inspire me. "
1、What is Jane's opinion about a successful children's book?
A．It contains something unexpected.
B．It offers an escape from everyday life.
C．It's attractive as children get older.
D．It's set in a place known to its readers.
2、Why did Jane take up book writing?
A．She got to know an editor.
B．Her husband encouraged her to try.
C．Her artwork attracted professional.
D．She wrote stories for her own children.
3、How did Jane's children assist her in her work?
A．By helping her concentrate on her work.
B．By telling her how they found her stories.
C．By suggesting characters for her stories.
D．By giving her ideas for her stories.
4、What is Jane's attitude towards her future work?
A．Encouraged. B．Uncertain. C．Tired. D．Unfit.
22．（8分）At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola, Peru, came up with the creative idea of an eco-bank which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially wise while helping the environment.
Established in 2012, The Bartselana Student Bank is the world’s f irst cooperative bank for kids. Whoever wants to join has to bring in at least 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of solid waste (paper or plastic) and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank “partners” are required to deposit at least one additional kilogr am (2* 2 pounds) of recydables on a monthly basis and obey other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a
higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individual’s account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target.
“At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,” Jose recalls. “They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom.”
The youngster’s persistence paid off. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers and begins accepting applications from kids all across Peru. On November 20, 2018, the young boy was awarded the famous Children’s Climate Prize (CCP). “Jose’s eco-bank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate impact, both in thought and practice. The potential impact is amazing”, a judge said.
Hopefully, Jose’s success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment. As the boy says, “Together we can change the world. we just need an o pportunity.”
1、For what purpose was the eco-bank created?
A．To educate children how to spend their allowances.
B．To help children break away from their parents.
C．To raise children’s awareness of money and environment
D．To encourage children to buy whatever they want.
2、What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．The history of the eco-bank
B．The requirements of membership,
C．The wisest way to deal with waste
D．The process of how the eco-bank works.
3、What challenge did Jose meet at the beginning when opening the eco-bank? A．Lack of enough support. B．Lack of experience.
C．Lack of investment. D．Lack of workers.
4、What can we learn from the last two Paragraphs?
A．The boy’s efforts were made in vain.
B．The eco-bank was highly appreciated.
C．The judge thought poorly of the eco-bank.
D．The boy’s success had no practical values.
5、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Persistence Paid Off
B．Recycling does Count
C．An Opportunity to Change the World.
D．An Eco-bank, Economical and Ecological
23．（8分）For the kids who have just started to read, choosing the right books is essential and their parents should be there to help them.
A proper book classification system would be of great help in this regard, since most parents do not know which books suit their children’s reading levels the most. An effective classification system for children’s books would help overcome this problem.
Chinese bookstores, online or offline, still prefer to use age rather than reading ability to categorize what they sell. In fact, reading ability and interests vary from child to child even when they are at the same age. This early form of classification is accepted by most bookstores and publishers, yet many young readers get books that are nowhere near their targeted reading levels.
China has at least 200 million children under the age of 14, and their enthusiasm for reading has increased over the years. The publishers of children’s books should try to introduce a juvenile-centered classification system to help their readers choose books that are suitable for their reading abilities.
Some don’t trust the call for more effective book classification, mentioning the need for youngsters to read extensively and avoid restricting themselves to one or two categories. There is a strong case for resisting selective reading, but not book classification, which is designed to help young children develop good reading habits and hold onto them in the long run.
Studies have found that kids are less likely to be into reading if they have not developed such a habit before the age of 10. That said, it is in their best interests to adopt targeted reading during childhood, as this can greatly improve their comprehension abilities. So greater efforts should be put into designing a book classification system that meets the needs of young readers.
1、A proper book classification system should ________.
A．be on an age basis
B．limit readers to one or two categories
C．help readers get books suitable for their reading levels
D．benefit all the bookstores and publishers
2、What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Young children. B．Publishers.
C．Reading levels. D．Reading habits.
3、What do we know from Paragraph 5?
A．There is a strong case for resisting book classification.
B．Everyone doesn’t support a more effective book classifica tion.
C．Youngsters should be restricted to a few categories of books.
D．Youngsters don’t need to read extensively.
4、What’s the author’s attitude towards the current book classification system? A．Dissatisfied. B．Ambiguous.
C．Supportive. D．Unconcerned.
24．（8分）The dad of the two youngest survivors of US Airways Flight 1549’s incredible landing in the Hudson River said the near-death experience “brought out the best in humanity.” It has been a decade since US Airways Flight 1549 landed in the Hudson River.
Sosa, now 58, told The Post in an email Monday. “As strange as the experience was, it brought out the best in humanity as witnessed by the selfless efforts of so many men and women who came to our aid without thinking twice about their safety. I am grateful to all of them.”
Sosa and his wife Tess were traveling to Charlotte, North Carolina, that day with
9-month-old Damian and 4-year-old Sofia. The couple were sitting several rows apart when the Airbus A320 suddenly struck a flock of Canada geese moments after taking off from LaGuardia Airport.
Sosa could smell jet fuel burning and immediately knew they were in danger. “There was an explosion in the left engine which I could see from my seat,” he recalled. “The next thing I knew the plane went dead si lent when both engines broke down. I got a quick glance at Tess seated ahead of me when we both realized we were in trouble.”
The next three minutes were harrowing(折磨). The powerless plane plunged over The Bronx and pointed toward the Hudson, where it would eventually ditch(在水上迫降), thanks to a split-second decision by Capt. Sullenberger. All 155 people on board could survive. Works helped with the rescue mission after the US Airways plane crashed
into the Hudson River in the afternoon on January 15 in New York City.
The dad this year 2019 who welcomed a new child, Phoebe, with Tess in the years after the incident —said “To date, it remains an unforgettable memory, a key point in our lives from which we perceive(感知) the world and process our day-to-day experiences,” said Sosa. “When you survive a near-miss experience, I think it makes one more tolerant. It makes you appreciate ever y day as a gift.”
1、When did the US Airways plane crashed into the Hudson River?
A．2007 B．2009
C．2011 D．2019
2、The underlined sentence most probably means_____.
A．making efforts B．expressing gratitude
C．displaying virtues D．showing anger
3、What can be learned about Sosa and Tess?
A．The disaster made them cherish every day.
B．They were traveling to Charlotte, South Carolina that day.
C．They realized they were in danger when the left engine failed.
D．They were sitting together when the plane struck a flock of Canada geese.
4、What may be the best title of the passage?
A．Landing in the Hudson B．Unforgettable flight
C．Horrifying flight D．Miracle on the Hudson 25．（10分）We ate on the go more than ever before. Here are three health apps that can help you better manage your health when you pursue your dreams. Doctors On Demand
Doctors On Demand enables you to visit a doctor without ever leaving your home, helping you use a computer, tablet or smart phone to have a doctor video chat with you.

Fees can be paid with HAS & FSA．It costs $ 40 for 15 minutes with a doctor or $50 for 20 minutes with a psychologist. Text 4 baby
I’m a big fan of Text4baby for a few reasons. The free service for pregnant women and new moms works by sending text messages to your smart phone three times a week with information about how to have a healthy pregnancy and baby. And the messages are timed to the pregnant woman’s due date or the baby’s date of birth, sending tips
that are relevant to where a mother is in her pregnancy or where a baby is in stages of development. Tips range from breastfeeding to car seat safety to reminders about exercise, nutrition and more. The service combines interactive text messages, an app, video and web content in English and Spanish. Sign up by texting BABY to 511-411 or by downloading the app. RISE
RISE, an app available on iPhone (coming to Android in 2016), pairs you up with (与绑定) a registered dietitian to improve your diet and reach health goals. You share photos of your meals and your exercise for the day with your coach, who then looks for areas where you can improve and gives advice, helps you set goals and is there to pat you on the back virtually (虚拟地) when you hit a milestone. What’s also great is that you can text as much as you want with your dietitian and there is no need to go into an office. Fees for this service range from $9 per month to $50 a month. There is a free
7-day trial so you can try it out for a week to see if it’s fit for you.

Dear friends,
I am Li Hua, president of the Stud ents’ Union. It’s my great privilege to be here, sharing this moment with our fellow friends from the United States. During the
three-week activities, we surely exchanged our ideas on learning, sports and cultures. One of the highlights was the sports meeting where we competed with each other in the basketball match.
The past three weeks witnessed our growth and our friendship. It is not only your enthusiasm but also your teamwork and good spirits that impress us deeply. After the precious exchange activity, we now have a better understanding of each other on a whole new level.
Now I sincerely hope that our friendship will last forever. Wish you all the best.
Thank you!

Dear friends,
How time flies! It has been 2 weeks since we had you stay with us. As chairman of the Student Union, it’s my great honor to give a speech here, recalling the sweet and happy moments we spent together.
During the past 2 weeks, we have studied in the same classroom and worked out a lot of academic problems. Also, we have put on so many wonderful shows, impressing all the teachers and students. Furthermore, we have been involved in various interesting activities, like learning to make Chinese dumplings, playing British cricket and so on.
Undoubtedly, this exchange program is a fruitful success, through which we gain a better understanding of British and Chinese cultures. In addition, our friendship has been greatly strengthened.
Hard though it is to say goodbye to friends, I do wish you a safe journey back to England and may our friendship last forever!。
