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）I recently posted a picture on Facebook from the movie Mad Max, a film where two groups race through the desert in steam punk vehicles, and wrote, “Actual picture of my wa y to work today.” It was meant to be a joke because of the sandstorms in Beijing, but one of my friends from back home thought it was real.
I couldn’t imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I don’t know how I will be able to deal when I go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijing. “I’ve become so spoiled in China.
China seems to be leading the way in innovation and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.
There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my way.
Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was troublesome for both the group and the servers. Splitting checks and swiping(刷) 10 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be a pain. But with China’s WeChat, you can quickly send your friends your part of the bill.
The list goes on…
When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someone asks me when I’m coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?”
While my friends think I’m riding th rough the desert on a motorbike, I am actually taking a “Didi” for what is the equivalent of $5 in the US.
With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never want to go back.
1、What’s the function of Paragraph 1?
A．To introduce a movie. B．To tell an interesting story.
C．To introduce the topic. D．To show the weather in Beijing.
2、How did the author feel when he first came to Beijing?
A．He couldn’t stand the weather. B．H e didn’t want to stay long.
C．He never wanted to go back home. D．He was amazed at the bike sharing.
3、What can we infer from the text?
A．China is the first country to start bike sharing.
B．The author has become used to mobile payment in China.
C．People always use WeChat to pay when eating out in the US.
D．The author’s friends all know the convenience of living in China.
4、What does the text intend to tell us?
A．Bike sharing has spread all over China.
B．Foreigners have misunderstandings of China.
C．Technology has brought much convenience in China.
D．Life in foreign countries is not as easy as we thought.
22．（8分）Endless queues and long waits at the ticket inspection desks at China’s major train stations were signature of the Spring Festival travel rush before this year. Every year, as the country’s biggest national holiday unfolded a huge flow of travelers would leave staff at the check-in desks facing a dilemma.
But with the installment (安装) of artificial intelligence (AI) in dozens of train stations this year, including a facial recognition system which is able to process passenger identification within five seconds and therefore speed up the waiting process, busy scenes started to become something of the past.
When a passenger approaches the camera inside the facial recognition system at the station, it scans his face and then quickly compares it with the photograph shown on his identification card in real time. If the information matches, the barrier gates will open and allow the passenger to go through.
Such use of facial recognition technology is in line with discussions heard at the recent two sessions meeting, a key annual political event, which focused on the widespread application of a security network named Tianwang (“Sky Net” in English) current ly being used by China’s public security department.
The network, according to reports by the People Daily, has the potential to
recognize the facial features of anyone in the world and match them on the spot with photographs on a database of criminal suspects. In fact, it can analyze photographic identity so quickly that it can scan every single Chinese face on the planet in just one second, and it would only take two seconds to scan every face in the world, with an accuracy rate of up to 99.8 percent.
Those are just two examples that highlight the development of Chinese visual AI technology, which industry insiders predict could contribute to powerful growth in the global technology sector this year.
1、What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first parag raph?
A．To introduce the following topic of the passage.
B．To describe the Spring Festival.
C．To inform readers of the development of China.
D．To explain the dilemma of the staff.
2、What’s the solution to the Spring Festival travel rush?
A．Using artificial intelligence.
B．Opening more barrier gates.
C．Limiting the number of passengers.
D．Increasing more staff at the check-in desks.
3、What can we know about facial recognition technology?
A．Its application leads to a heated discussion.
B．Its application is useless to policemen.
C．Its operating speed is not yet high enough.
D．Its accuracy rate is very high.
4、What’s the author’s attitude towards Chinese visual AI technology? A．Depressed. B．Positive.
C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.
23．（8分）If you’ll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some shopping tips to give your undivided attention to.
When to buy
If you’re shopping for domestic flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still valid because most US carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.
When to fly
Weekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the US specifically the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary for the expensive US spring break travel period is Tuesday to Saturday; it won’t be cheap exactly, but it will save you money (in most cases) over weekend-to-weekend travel.
Direct vs. connecting flights
Compare the price of direct with connecting fights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money, and it might be enough to endure the extra-long flying day. Some examples;
Boston to Seattle :$247 direct, $234 one-stop
San Francisco to Raleigh/Durham: $553 direct, $362 one-stop
Okay, the savings on Boston-Seattle might not be worth it to you, but I’ll bet you’ll think twice about the direct fight for San Francisco to Raleigh.
Compare, compare, compare
Stifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison; it’s a recipe for disaster. Example: Let’s say you want to fly from New York to London and figure your favorite US legacy carrier will get you there for the best price.
Airline price: $554 round-trip
Comparison price: $486
Obviously, the legacy carrier did not have the cheapest flight, but wait, there’s more: The comparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier ($521). See what you’re missing when you fail to compare?
1、The best price for flights within the US could most possibly be found
on .
A．Monday morning
B．Tuesday afternoon
C．Thursday morning
D．Sunday morning
2、Ticket buyers are advised to .
A．choose direct flights rather than connecting ones
B．take the cheapest deal from their favorite airline
C．look for flight deals to Europe throughout the summer
D．avoid weekend-to-weekend flights in holiday seasons
3、The underlined phrase “stifle the impulse” probably means “.”A．feel free to do something
B．hold off on doing something
C．get well prepared for something
D．make quick decisions about something
24．（8分）Most parents fear getting letters home from their children’s school. They are usually informing them that their child is in big trouble. But ahead of the SATs exams next week, one school decided to send a letter of a different type.
Bosses at Buckton Vale Primary School in Stalybridge sent letter to all pupils in the sixth grade to tell them how special and unique they are. The letter highlights all the natural skills and abilities the pupils have and everything that makes them “smart’’ individuals.
They are told how their laughter can brighten the darkest day and that the examiners do not know the pupils are kind, trustworthy and thoughtful.
The letter, signed by the headmaster and two other teachers, has been put on the school’s Facebook page and shared more than 9.000 times with more than 7,000 likes.
The letter reads, “Next week you will sit your SATs tests for maths, reading, spelling, grammar and punctuation. We know how hard you have worked, but there is something very important you must know. The SATs test does not assess all that makes each of you special and unique. The people who create these tests and score them do not know e ach of you in the way that we do and certainly not in the way your families do.”
The letter goes on to say that the tests are not the most important thing in life, adding, “The scores you will get from this test will tell you something, but they will not t ell you everything. There are many ways of being smart. You are smart!”
The letter has been welcomed by many parents on Facebook. Lynn McPherson wrote, “That’s great instilling (逐步灌输) hope, faith and belief.” And Mary Tilling said, “Every child school receive one of these. Brilliant.”
1、What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Parent. B．Children.
C．Teachers. D．Letters.
2、What’s the purpose of the letter sent before the SATs exams?
A．To stress the importance of the exams.
B．To help the students pass the exams.
C．To help the students to build confidence.
3、What message does the letter want to convey?
A．Everyone can realize his dream.
B．Everyone has his unique value.
C．Exams are meaningless in our life.
D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
4、The author gives two examples in the last paragraph to show .
A．the letter was well received
B．the letter was a total failure
C．the parents are easy to please
D．the parents support their children
25．（10分）I was having a great morning until I sat down in front of my office computer. “Your password has expired(过期),” a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it.
Coming up with a new code doesn’t seem like a big deal, unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one numeral. Oh, and the whole darn thing can’t be fewer than eight characters. And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve used in the past three months.
Suddenly I was furious. What didn’t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief over what she had done to me was all I thought about. Every day.
My anger didn’t mean anything to the empty input field with a pulsating cursor (闪动的光标), waiting for me to type a password that I’d have to re-enter — many times —for the next 30 days. I remembered a tip I’d heard from my former boss. He’d said, “I’m going to use a password to change my life.”
I couldn’t focus on getting things done in my current mood. There were clear indicators of what I needed to do to regain control of my life, but I couldn’t notice them.
My password became the indicator. My password reminded me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it.
I made my password Forgive@h3r.
I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my computer would lock. Each time my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would come back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I wrote Forgive her every day.
The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder of reconciliation led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and embrace a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt a slow healing begin to take place. By the time my server prompted me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.
One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I thought about the next thing that I had to get done.
My password became Quit@smoking4ever.
I quit smoking overnight. This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal.
One month later, my password became Save4trip@thailand.
Guess where I went three months later: Thailand.
Seeing how these reminders helped to materialize my goals kept me motivated and excited. While it’s sometimes difficult to come up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results.
Here is a simplified extract of what some of my passwords have been in the past
two years, so you get an idea of how my life has changed, thanks to this method: Forgive@h3r To my ex-wife, who started it all.
Quit@smoking4ever It worked.
Save4trip@thailand It worked.
Eat2times@day It never worked, still fat.
Sleep@before12 It worked.
*************************************.
**************************************.
Get@c4t! It worked. I have a beautiful cat.
MovE@togeth3r It worked.
*************************************************.
Andtheoneforlastmonth:****************************************.
1、The underlined word “furious” in the third paragraph is closest in the meaning to
______.
A．depressed B．doubtful
C．nervous D．angry
2、Why did he decide to use “Forgive@h3r”as his password?
A．Because he decided to forgive his wife.
B．Because he hoped his wife would forgive him.
C．Because he hoped it would remind him to be strong.
D．Because his former boss told him to use it to change his life.
3、What can we learn from the password “Save4@ring”for last month?
A．He will call his mother every week.
B．He will soon ask his girl friend to marry him.
C．His password will help him save money.
D．He will be reminded to save his password.
4、What might be the best title for the passage?
A．How a Password Changed My Life. B．Why I Changed My Password. C．How a Slow Healing Took Place. D．How I Followed My Monthly Goal.

We are arranging for all the American exchange students to visit the National Art Museum of China this Saturday. All participants are expected to gather at the school gate at 8:30 this Saturday morning. The school bus will pick you up and take you there.
As one of the most popular museums in China, the NAMOC has collected and are displaying many famous paintings.
