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）At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is val uable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.
“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations —and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
1、What do we know about James Harrison?
A．He saved 2.4 million poor people.
B．He is to retire as a blood donor.
C．He is a very grateful blood donor.
D．He donates blood nearly every day.
2、What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 4?
A．To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.
B．To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end.
C．To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.
D．To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.
3、What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?
A．After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.
B．New donors are easy to find in a short time.
C．He continues to contribute to the Rh program.
D．His DNA is kept in a library for future study.
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type
B．The Blood Saving Millions of Babies
C．A Special Blood Type Donor to Retire
D．The Man with the Golden Arm
22．（8分）－Rivers are the life-giving blood vessels of our planet. They irrigate our farms, are an important means of transport and a source of eco-friendly power. They can be a whole lot of fun for travelers, too.
From strikingly strange and unusual wildlife centers to whitewater rafting hotspots and the most scenic stretches for cruising, we’ve highlighted 3 rivers worth basing your next trip around. Rankings are made on five travel criteria.
Scenic beauty－the physical beauty of the river; waterfalls, color, drama of the landscape.
Nature and wildlife－diversity and popularity of flora and fauna.
Culture－depth, diversity and accessibility of local culture; tribal/medieval villages etc.
Adventure－thrill factor of the river’s topography and location.
Activity options－rafting, wildlife watching, hiking, biking etc.
We’ve debated among ourselves, researched expert views and polled our colleagues and fellow travelers around the world, to score each river for these qualities.
3. Rio Cahabon（Guatemala）
Scenic beauty: 4 | Nature and wildlife: 3 | Culture: 2 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 5
Never heard of it? Few had, until a few years back, when a section of the Rio Cahabon’s densely forested pathway through central Guatemala was built as a key stop on the Central American backpacker trail.
Known as Semuc Champey, the series of spectacular steeped limestone pools bridging over the river are accessed via a hiking trail near the village of Lanquin.
Local hostels also offer candlelight tours of a cave system carved out by the water and year－round grade Ⅲand IV rafting.
2. Zambezi (Africa)
Scenic beauty: 5 | Nature and wildlife: 4 | Culture: 4 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 4
Boasting superb wildlife watching, some of the best white-water rafting on the planet and the thundering beauty of Victoria Falls, the Zambezi is a showstopper.
In the Middle Zambezi, which borders Zambia and Zimbabwe, you can bungee jump off Africa’s largest waterfall, or tackle the grade IV rapids just below.
Most wildlife—from hippo pods to big cats and sly Nile crocodiles—is spotted on jeep safaris and kayaking trips around the Lower Zambezi, where the swampy delta funnels down through Mozambique into the Indian Ocean.
1. Amazon River (South America)
Scenic beauty: 5 | Nature and wildlife: 5 | Culture: 4 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 5
Topping our list by an aquatic mile, the mighty Amazon snakes through the jungles of nine South American nations, providing a shelter for more than 400 native Indian tribes and one in ten of the known species on earth.
For travelers, the possibilities are huge—from wildlife spotting safaris to kayaking trips and gnarly jungle treks.
Backpacker-friendly Bolivia is a popular place to explore the pampas by lancha
(long-tail boat), stopping off along Amazon tributaries to swim with pink dolphins, fish for piranha and track elusive anaconda.
1、The 3 rivers mentioned in the passage are ranked according to .
A．their cultural diversity and popularity
B．the CNN journalists’ descriptions
C．5 travel criteria
D．experts’ v iews
2、Rio Cahabon is still less known to the world because .
A．a pathway was not built until a few years ago
B．it runs through deep forests
C．it was discovered only a few years ago
D．few but backpackers dare to travel there
3、Tourists can experience bungee jump when travelling on .
A．Zambezi B．Rio Cahabon
C．Amazon River D．all of the three
4、The underlined phrase “flora and fauna” most probably refers to . A．flowers and fruits B．custom and tradition
C．culture and nature D．animals and plants
23．（8分）Most heroes are not super. They don’t appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.
Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He’s a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.
About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index.
Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him— supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “You’ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of h ere.” You can imagine what the thief did.
After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.
His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasn’t exactly stea ling from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s reputation as a friendly city.
1、Bike Batman is .
A．a superhero B．a website manager
C．a Seattle citizen D．a police officer
2、When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first . A．contact the owner of the stolen bike B．look up the bike’s information
C．call the police department D．arrange to meet the thief
3、Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to .
A．become famous B．help poor people
C．punish bike thieves D．build a friendly city
4、From the passage, we can learn that .
A．Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested
B．Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident
C．the police failed to perform their duties
D．the thieves refused to return the bikes
24．（8分）The future of Australia’s solar industry is looking bright after a record 3.5m panels(嵌板)were installed on rooftops last year, giving the equal output of a medium-sized coal-fired power station. The record 1,057 MW of capacity (产能) in small scale systems installed across the country broke the previous record set in 2012, figures from the Clean Energy Regulator showed on Tuesday.
Australia’s solar power prosperity could almost double capacity in a year, The data also revealed that the average system size has also doubled since then from three to six kilowatts as average prices continued to fall. A fully installed 5KW system costs an average of $5,930 in Australia, according to the energy broker Solar choice. net. au. Its records show that the price has roughly halved in many capital cities since 2012.

In 2017, there was a 41% increase in installing renewable energy capacity across all states and territories compared to 2016. Queensland led the way with installed capacity at 295MW, with the Australian Capital Territory taking top place for the biggest annual increase by 57 %. “I he data collected by the Clean Energy Regulator in 2017 reflects the industry is going from strength to strength, It looks like 2018 will be another big year for the solar industry.”
The total of installed capacity for last year is expected to rise to 1,070MW when all the data is collected. A large coal-fired power station such as Loyd Yang A in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley has a capacity of 2, 200MW.

25．（10分）Mr. Omorogbe was originally set to graduate in 2014. But after a fight with his dad, he was “tossed out” on the street. Eve ntually, his grandmother took him in for a while, but with her working during the day, Omorogbe needed to care for his seriously ill grandfather. School eventually became too much, so he dropped out.
For many students across the country, circumstances like Omorogbe’s can derail (使偏离轨道) them the high-school-to-college track. In his case, Boston Public School’s Re-Engagement Center was able to connect him with EDCO Youth Alternative, a school that provides extra support to nontraditional and struggling students. He started in September 2016 and will have his diploma in hand by May.
“I have my counselor (指导教师) who calls me every day. If I miss school for two or three days, she’ll call me, and ask, ‘Are you OK?’ ” says Omorogbe. “During the vacations, she’ll call me; for my birthday, she’ll bake me a cake.”
Ten years ago, Boston high school students like Omorogbe were far less likely to get their diploma. In 2007, the city’s graduation rate was 59 percent. This year, in 2017, the number of Boston students who graduated in four years hit a record high of 72.4 percent. Statewide, the graduation rate inched up to a record 87.5 percent from 87.3 percent last year, according to state figures.
“You’re seeing gradual progress,” says Paul Reville, a professor at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education and former Secretary of education for Massachusetts. “We’re dealing with one of the most important problems that we have in education these days, which is people dropping out without a high school education and having no place to go in our economy.”
Education experts say Boston’s record graduation rate was particularly encouraging because of the gains by the city’s African-American and Latino students in
the last decade – 13.6 and 16.5 percentage points respectively.
But with roughly 5,500 kids across the state still dropping out of high school every year, professor Reville and others admit that Massachusetts, widely recognized as having the nation’s leading education system, still has a long way to go.
1、Why did Omorogbe drop out of school?
A．He had a poor family. B．He had no interest in his studies.
C．He was seriously injured in a fight. D．He had to take on the role of a carer.
2、What does Omorogbe think of his counselor?
A．She’s strict. B．She’s kind-hearted.
C．She’s o pen-minded. D．She’s knowledgeable.
3、Which of the following is TRUE about Boston’s high school graduation rate?
A．It reached a record 87.5 percent this year.
B．There has been a rise of over 10 percent in 10 years.
C．This year’s figures show a sharp increase over last year’s.
D．Less than half of the students could graduate 10 years ago.
4、What’s the best title for the text?
A．The success story of Mr. Omorogbe
B．Boston students are regaining their confidence
C．The important role high school education plays
D．Reforms have given fresh hope to struggling students

Apart form that, based on what you know about me, please give me some personal suggestions.
