第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分25分）
第一节（共10个小题；每小题1.5分，满分15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
Pin has never been one of the favorite colors of the fashion industry,as it's often seen as silly and not cool enough.But this spring,it's having its moment in the spotlight,all thans to the fact that the color is no longer all about being girly and sweet.Instead,pin is taing on a new meaning of independence and power.
This shift happened last month during the Women's March.Tens of thousands of women filled the streets of major cities in the US and in countries all around the world to protest（抗议）against the disrespect to women.What was unusual about the protests is that a lot of people taing part were wearing pin hats,maing the streets appear lie a "sea of pin".Even though the hats were without any slogan（标语）,their pin color is thought to have sent out a message that is louder than any words."We women have power and we're not going to sit down and shut up," Aileen Gildea,one of the protesters in the US,told The Boston Globe.
Now young people are changing their attitudes to pin.They are no longer trying to escape pin,but give new meanings to it instead.
"Women who came before us ...to be taen seriously they had to get away from the symbols used to mae women seem less capable.Younger women don't have that reaction.They're more interested in breaing and rebuild those symbols,"Audrey Gelman,a businesswoman in the US,told
The Wall Street Journal.
So sometimes it's not the thing itself that needs to be changed,but the way we loo at it.And in the case of pin, what used to be seen as silly may be turned into something really serious.
21.In general,people tend to relate pin to .
A.independence
B.weaness
C.power
D.sadness
22.According to Aileen Gildea,what were their protests meant to convey?
A.Women actually prefer pin to any other color.
B.Women need to get away from those symbols of silliness.
C.Women ought to have a bigger voice in society.
D.Women should have the right to choose whatever colors.
23.The last paragraph implies that sometimes it is necessary to .
A.change our traditional concepts
B.show greater respect for women
C.have doubts about the so-called "truth"
D.tell something silly from something serious
B
Recently,people in US education have gotten etremely worried because a new report has shown that American students have a math problem.
The 2015 Program for International Student Assessment（评估）(PISA) shows math scores in the US getting lower and no improvement in science or reading.PISA tests 15-year-olds from different countries and regions in their math,science and reading sills.About 540,000 students from 72 countries and regions too part in the assessment in 2015.
US scores in reading and science were about the same as three years ago,leaving Americans near the middle of the bigger group.But the situation in math is much more worrying.The US average score was 470,be;ow the OECD（经合组织）test average of 490,meaning the US was No.40 among the 72 countries and areas.It was 12 points lower than in 2012 and 18 points lower than in 2009.So,what is going on with American students' math sills?
One reason may be that the US does not teach math in enough depth."Students are often good at answering the first part of a problem in the United States,"said Andreas Schleicher,director of education and sills at OECD."But as soon as students have to go deeper and answer the more
complicated part of a problem,they have difficulties."In comparison,many high-performing countries and regions in math teach a lot less but focus in much greater depth, especially when you loo at East Asia,Japan and Singapore,according to Schleicher.
Another reason may be the fact that many people in the US are unwilling to travel to foreign countries to learn better teaching practices."One of our biggest challenges in the US is that the teachers are not going out and seeing what high-performing countries do differently,"said Wendy opp,who started Teach for America,in a news program.
24.When it comes to the 2015 PISA results,people in US education are more concerned about .
A.the US average score
B.the differences from the previous PISA
C.American students' performance in math
D.American students' situation in science and reading sills
25.What can we learn from the passage?
A.American students are not interested in simple math problems.
B.American students are unwilling to go abroad for further study.
C.American math teachers envy high-performing countries better teaching sills.
D.American math teachers seldom teach students how to solve complicated problems.
26.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To inform people of American students' 2015 PISA results.
B.To analye the causes of American students' problems with math.
C.To stress the importance of learning math well to America students.
D.To give American math teachers some advice on how to teach math.
C
Floods are second only to fire as the most common of all natural disasters.They occur almost everywhere in the world,resulting in widespread damage and even death.Consequently,scientists have long tried to perfect their ability to predict floods.So far,the best that scientists can do is to recognie the potential for flooding in certain conditions. There are a number of conditions,from deep snow on the ground to human error,which cause flooding.
When deep snow melts it creates a large amount of water.Although deep snow alone rarely causes floods,when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather it can lead to
serious flooding.If there is a fast snow melt on top of froen or very wet ground,flooding is more liely to occur than when the ground is not froen.Froen ground or ground that is very wet cannot absorb the additional water created by the melting snow.Melting snow also contributes to high water levels in rivers and streams.
Rivers that are covered in ice can also lead to flooding.When ice begins to melt,the surface of the ice cracs and breas into large pieces.These pieces of ice move and float down the river,They can form a dam in the river,causing the water behind the dam to rise and flood the land upstream.If the dam breas suddenly,then the large amount of water held behind the dam can flood the areas downstream too.
Broen ice dams are not the only dam problems that can cause flooding.When a large human-made dam breas or fails to hold the water collected behind it,the results can be devastating.Dams contain such huge amounts of water behind them that when sudden breas occur,the great force of the water is lie a great tidal wave.The dam waters can travel tens of ilometres,cover the ground in metres of mud and litter,and drown and crush every thing and creature in their path.
Although scientists cannot always predict eactly when floods will occur,they do now a great deal about when floods are probably going to occur.Deep snow,ice-covered rivers,and wea dams are all strong conditions for potential flooding.
27.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
("P" stands for "Paragraph".)
28.Why does froen ground probably contribute to flooding when deep snow melts?
A.It is liely to form an ice dam.
B.It is too hard for water to run off.
C.It cannot tae in more water.
D.It maes the snow melt too quicly.
29.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word "devastating" in Paragraph 4?
A.Positive.
B.Disappointing.
C.Impressive.
D.Damaging.
30.What is mainly taled about in the passage?
A.How floods come into being.
B.Where floods usually occur.
C.Why floods do huge damage.
D.How to prevent floods effectively.

A conflict at wor is common.If you can avoid conflict,it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants.Since the potential problem has not been removed,it will simply reappear later._31_
◆Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at wor.On many occasions（场合）,conflict and disagreement are liely to happen.But when a conflict happens it is not the end of the world._32_Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly.The tric is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.
◆_33_Solve a conflict when it starts,as it only gets worse with time going by.Everyone is waiting for the other to admit he or she is wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while.It is necessary to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.
◆As nicely.If somebody has done something that maes you angry,or if you don't understand their viewpoints or actions,simply asing nicely about them can mae a world of difference.Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you.Sometimes there is a good reason why that person does what he or she does,and a potential conflict disappears right there._34_
◆Appreciate._35_Tell them why it is worth it to you to solve the conflict.This can be difficult as few people find it easy to appreciate a person they disagree strongly with,but it is a great way to move forward.
A.Praise the other part in the conflict
B.Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later.
C.Invite the other person to tal about the situation.
D.Do remember to mae an enquiry,not an accusation of any sort.

Nowadays,cars have become a very common vehicle in our life.As the most important transport,cars have improved our modern life in many ways.However,cars also bring about so many problems for people,which should be given more attention than any time before.
Cars give people the ability to travel to any place they lie.Many people begin to travel frequently.This helps people connect with each other better than before.A more obvious influence from cars is the large number of jobs that they create.Jobs in several fields open up thans to cars,such as jobs in car factories,gas stations and highways. This is a huge positive influence on society because they greatly reduce the unemployment rate.
At the same time,the problems that cars cause seem to be more and more serious.A mass use of cars is bound to have some negative consequences.The widespread use of cars has led to serious traffic jams in cities.They have resulted in a reduction in the use of public transportation in many cities.The need to use and develop public transportation has been much discussed and confirmed.And also,car accidents create a number of injuries and deaths. There are hundreds of thousands of them worldwide every year.Gas let out from the engines of cars pollutes the air in cities around the world.Air pollution creates serious health problems and causes many people to die from it.It has become one of the most serious problems today.Efforts to develop pollution-free engines may be the final solution to this problem.
In conclusion,people should not only enjoy the benefits of cars,but also aim to deal with the problems cars have created.At the same time,the government should improve city traffic systems,encourage people to use public transportation,mae efforts to improve road safety and encourage the usage of fuels that are low in pollutants.Only in these ways can the benefits of cars outweigh their harmfulness.
