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）With the development of our society, cell phones have become a common part in our lives. Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers (低头族).
Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction(毁灭) of the world.
Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Y our health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors’ words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
1、Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2?
A．To suggest phubbers will destroy the world.
B．To call for people to go walking without phones.
C．To tell people of the bad effects of phubbing.
D．To advise students to create more cartoons like this.
2、According to the passage, what risks may a phubber have?
①Destructing the world
②Affecting his social skills
③Damaging his neck and eyesight
④Getting separated from his friends and family
A．①②④B．②③④C．①③④D．①②③④
3、What’s the author’s attitude towards phubbing?
A．Supportive B．Confident C．Disapproving D．Unconcerned
4、What will be talked about in the following paragraph?
A．Ways to avoid the risks of phubbing. B．Bad effects of phubbing.
C．Daily life of phubbers. D．Methods of phubbing.
22．（8分）Criminals who try to pass off fake art as the real deal should be careful now. A new identification method could make recognizing fakes much easier. The technique allows scientists to tag paintings and other artworks with tiny pieces of DNA, which act like a signature. If an artwork missed the tag, people would immediately know it was an illegal copy.
DNA is normally found inside the cells of all living things. However, researchers at the State University of New York at Albany, who developed the tagging technique, have created DNA in a lab, whose code is just as unique as that of DNA found in nature.
The scientists would apply the engineered DNA to a small tag and place it on an artwork. Over time, the DNA in the tag would bond with the art at a molecular(分子的) level. That way, even if the tag is removed, the DNA remains. Possible buyers and sellers can use a scanner to read a DNA tag or, if the tag is missing, swab(擦拭) the artwork to test for DNA inside. Then they check the molecular marker against a database of artists to make sure the work is real.
Some famous artists have already agreed to try this high-tech way to sign their art. That’s because fakes are huge problems in the art world. It’s said that as many as two out of every five artworks sold these days are fakes. Some seem so convincing that experts are needed to prove whether they’re real or not.
Although a painting may be perfectly copied, it would be nearly impossible to copy a DNA tag. Applying the tag doesn’t harm the work itself. Even better, they each cost only about $150—an inexpensive price for a technology that could save museums, art galleries, and private collectors billions.
1、What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．How the DNA tag works. B．How the DNA tag is made.
C．What a database is used for. D．What can be done if the DNA tag is lost.
2、Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the DNA tag?
A．It is affordable. B．It can hardly be copied.
C．It can renew automatically. D．It does no damage to the artworks.
3、What does the underlined word “convincing” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Authentic. B．Elegant. C．Attractive. D．Complex.
4、What might be the best title of the text?
A．Copying a DNA Tag B．Spotting a Fake
C．The Discovery of DNA D．A New Application of Natural DNA

24．（8分）Alexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. "Dad, there's a deer there!" Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.
As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old
mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. "I knew I was in trouble," Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.
When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. "I was kicking it to get its attention," she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.
Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg. "We're going to get you to a hospital," Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer's head and neck, but the blows
didn't scare it away. "I was losing
faith," she says. "A couple more strikes, Alexis," said her father. "You can do it."
Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.
Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.
After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. "You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help," she says, "not to beat up a deer."
1、What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?
A．She was driving home.
B．She was resting on the road.
C．She was taking exercise.
D．She was feeding wild animals.
2、What did Alexis do to save Sue?
A．She pushed the deer away.
B．She hit the deer with her feet.
C．She drove the car to hit the deer.
D．She beat the deer with a hammer.
3、Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?
A．Strong. B．Cruel. C．Energetic. D．Brave.
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．A Woman Was Seriously Injured
B．A Dangerous Deer Attacked a Woman
C．A Girl Rescued Her Father Successfully
D．A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer Attack
