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）What can be better than a sweet treat with health benefits? As it happens, our favourite February food, chocolate, has a few shinning characteristics. It comes from the Theobroma cacao tree (food for the Gods), from a bean
that grows on that tropical tree. Chocolate originated in Mexico and Central and South America, but West Africa now produce s most of the world’s cocoa. Look for fair trade chocolate that meets environmental and labour standards at natural foods markets in Kitsilano and the West End, at Karmavore in New Westminster and at Nature’s Fare Markets throughout the province.
Dark or semisweet chocolate is typically a vegan(素食) product. Because chocolate contains antioxidants（抗氧化剂）that prevent the oxidation （氧化）of LDL (bad) cholesterol（胆固醇）, it has gained a reputation of being beneficial for our heart health. Eaten in an appropriate amount, chocolate may lower blood pressure.
Chocolate is also a source of iron –a “precious metal” when it comes to human health. As part of red blood cells, iron plays a central role in transporting oxygen to the body and carrying away the waste product carbon dioxide. Each day, we lose tiny amounts of iron in cells that are missing from skin and the inner lining of the intestine(肠壁). If our intake is not enough to replace our losses, a tired feeling and sensitivity to cold may develop. With further consuming, people feel exhausted, chilly and even headaches; the skin may appear pale. Since iron absence is such an obvious condition and easily diagnosed, if you have any doubts about your iron level, have a lab test done.
We are good at recycling iron, however, losses must be replaced. Two of the Chocolate Butter Balls in the recipe(食谱) below will provide one quarter of the recommended intake of eight mg iron for the day.
1、Which region produces most of the world’s cocoa now?
A．Mexico B．Central America
C．South America D．West Africa
2、Why is chocolate beneficial for our heart health?
A．It contains antioxidants B．It comes from the cacao tree.
C．It originates in Mexico. D．It is a sweet treat.
3、What does “chilly” in the third paragraph mean?
A．easy to be angry B．having a fever
C．sensitive to cold D．feeling tired
4、From which is the text probably taken?
A．A biology textbook. B．A health magazine.
C．A research paper. D．A travel brochure.
22．（8分）Y ou’ve probably visited the Tian’anmen Gatetowe r—the landmark building of Beijing，but you may not have heard of Kuai Xiang．Along with him，the following remarkable architects all took the center stage at their times．
Kuai Xiang(1399—1481)
Tian’anmen Gatetower is universally considered the brainchild of Kuai Xiang．By following in the footsteps of ancient homebuilders，he successfully presented the Emperor Judy with a grand wooden structure which has stood the test of time for almost 600 years．Visitors are also hooked on its delicate paintings.
Ieob Ming Pei (1917-present)
His motto is：Traditions should be sealed in glass boxes at museums．He is always struggling with innovation．Although under grilling from French conservative critics，he still planted a glass pyramid into the courtyard of the Louvre．His other works include John F．Kennedy Library，Beijing Fragrant Hill Hotel and Suzhou Museum．Zaha Hadid(1950-2016)
In 2004，she became the first woman to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize，the Nobel Prize for architecture．She used tricks to maximize available space．Her fluid-style works pioneer the concept of micro-living. The curves(曲线)of Guangzhou Opera House perfectly match the rise and fall of its surrounding buildings，forming a unique view．Meng Fanchao (1959-present)
Many people dismissed the building of a mega bridge as a pipe dream，but Meng Fanchao turned this into reality by building Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge．This longest cross-sea bridge，when viewed afar，looks like a dynamic dragon braving the rolling waves of Lingding Sea．
1、What can we infer about Kuai Xiang?

C．He is a successful architect．D．He likes delicate hooks．
2、What’s Ieoh Ming Pei’s attitude towards creation?

23．（8分）Five-year-old Prisilla Perez, a student at Meador Elementary School in Willis, was unhappy with her recent haircut, which resulted from a severe disease. When students in her class started calling Prisilla a boy, she felt ashamed, often crying and losing focus in school.
Her teacher, Shannon Grimm, sympathized with her unhapp iness. Grimm and Prisilla’s mom were concerned, but their ideas didn’t work. “We had classroom discussions about how girls have short hair and boys have long hair, and I showed them photos of movie stars with different looks,” Grimm said. “However, it wasn’t sinking in.”
Grimm thought about Prisilla throughout winter break, and one morning, she had an idea: Cut off her hair --- a
scary thought for Grimm, who wore her hair long and took pride in it. “I’ve never had short hair, and I stressed about it for two weeks before making a decision,” she said. On Jan. 4, Grimm invited a hairstylist friend to her home. “I told
him to keep going, even if I cried,” she said.
The class loved their teacher’s new do, especially Prisilla, who excitedly ran off the school bus that afternoon yelling, “Mom, Ms. Grimm cut her hair!” The teacher also bought matching bows for herself and the girl, so they could style their hair together.
In February, the teacher recommended Prisilla for the school district’s Student of the Month Awa rd, but during the Monday ceremony, she received a surprise “hero medal” from the girl. “Now we have matching awards,” says Grimm.
Prisilla’s mother, Maria, said that Grimm’s thoughtfulness brought her to tears. “I was shocked. I was crying. I couldn’t bel ieve it --- she did something I wouldn’t have the bravery to do. I will never forget that.”
1、Why was Prisilla unhappy at school?
A．She wasn’t satisfied with her teacher.
B．She couldn’t concentrate in class.
C．She was laughed at by her classmates.
D．She co uldn’t get on well with others.
2、What made Grimm have her own hair cut?
A．Praise from her students. B．Devotion to her students.
C．Request of Prisilla’s mother.D．Suggestion from the hairstylist.
3、What can we know about Grimm?
A．She had her hair cut together with Prisilla.
B．She expressed her sincere thanks to her pupils.
C．She hesitated a lot before having her hair cut.
D．She won a gold medal for facing difficulties bravely .
4、What is the text mainly about?
A．How Grimm helped her student out. B．What problem Prisilla had at school.
C．Why Prisilla won the Month Award. D．When Grimm got her new hairstyle.
24．（8分）Neither style of thinking is better or worse than the other; they’re just different, as Professor Ankush Chopra explains ．To be a great artist, musician, or big-picture thinker, holistic thinking is important—it’s about context, and intuition (直觉) is important．Many careers like those in science or law, reward analytic thinking, which looks at parts and units, and is specific and logical．Of course, the most successful people will be able to do both kinds of thinking, though generally holistic thinking, linked to creativity, is more difficult to teach than analytic thinking．
So those people who are analytic thinkers will see a price of $1.99 by looking at the single numbers, and will prioritize the first number when it comes to price. “Holistic thinkers tend to view all price numbers as a whole and are less likely to be affected by the nine-ending price effect,” Lingjiang Lora Tu, Ph. D．, professor of marketing at Baylor and a study’s lead author, told Phys. org．
However, that the type of thinking allows holistic thinkers to see the whole rather than the parts goes out the window when they’re stressed or distracted (分心的)．
“Our findings suggest that regardless of consumers’ thinking style, nine-ending prices are most likely to be effective in situations that overuse consumers’ resources, such as when shoppers are time-pressured at the checkout counter or distracted by background music or occupied with an interactive product demonstration,” Tu said．This study was done with the idea that marketers should know about these differences in thinking style and keep them in mind when they’re pricing things for different types of people．But anyone who buys things can benefit too, by figuring out what kind of thinker you are, and then keeping that in mind when the signs show “sale” with a loud
noise!—and reminding yourself that nobody makes the best decisions when they’re distracted．
1、Which of the following can be the best example of holistic thinking?
A．Only if the whole thing makes sense can Jack concentrate on details．
B．In American shops, you can find many things with nine-ending prices．
C．Jack kept on working on one thing and finally achieved great success．
D．Understanding each paragraph leads to understanding the whole passage．
2、The underlined word “prioritize” in Para. 2 most probably means “________”．
A．take no notice of B．treat...equally
C．think of...the trickiest D．consider...the most important
3、According to the passage, a consumer should remember that ________．
A．the nine-ending prices can equally affect any type of consumer
B．pricing things for different types of people benefits customers
C．background music isn’t always to create a pleasant atmosph ere
D．it’s impossible to affect him even if he’s distracted or stressed
4、From the passage we know that ________．
A．different thinking styles create different pricing systems
B．preference of pricing system can indicate thinking style
C．holistic thinking somewhat outweighs analytic thinking
D．both styles of thinking cannot be beneficial to one career
25．（10分）Many of us have wondered what Earth is like beneath the surface. So have writers and scientists. In French novelist Jules Verne’s masterpiece Journey to the Center of the Earth, explorers go down to Earth’s center and discover amazing wonders.
But in real life, human beings haven’t even come close to the planet’s core (核心). The core is over 6,000 km down. The deepest hole ever created, according to the BBC, is the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, which only goes 12.3 km down.
So how do we know about everything down below without any samples？
One good way to start is to think about the Earth’s density (密度), Simon Redfern of the University of Cambridge in the UK told the BBC．
“The density of the material on Earth’s surface is much lower than the average density of the whole Earth, so that tells us there’s something that has greater density,” Redfern said.
The challenge is to find out which heavy materials the core is made of. And the main material scientists have found is iron. The idea is that when Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, a lot of iron made its way down to the core, taking up about 80 percent of it. Today scientists are still working on finding out which other materials the core could be made up of.
You might also wonder how we know the size of the core. There’s a one-word answer: seismology (地震学).
When an earthquake happens, seismic stations around the world record the shockwaves it sends throughout the planet. It’s like hitting one side of the planet with a huge hammer and listening on the other side for the noise.
Early research found that some shockwaves, called “S-waves”, went missing. S-waves can only travel through solid material, but not t hrough liquid, so they must have found something molten in Earth’s center. By following the S-waves’ paths, scientists found out that rocks became liquid around 3,000 km down.
There are still many questions about the Earth’s core to answer. But the study of the dark world below isn’t just for scientists’ curiosity.
The movement of Earth’s molten iron core builds up a powerful magnetic (有磁力的) field. It protects us from radiation from the sun and is needed for compasses and GPS systems to work.
So perhaps non e of us will ever set eyes on the core, but it’s good to know it’s there.
1、The author mentions Jules Verne’s novel Journey to the Center of the Earth in the first paragraph to. A．discuss the possibility of going down to Earth’s center
B．show how much humans have discovered about Earth
C．paint a picture in our imagination of the dark world below
D．show humans’ deep interest in Earth’s center
2、We can learn from the article that “S-waves”.
A．are often used to predict earthquakes
B．cannot travel through liquid material
C．are the most noticeable shockwaves produced by earthquakes
D．can travel most rapidly at 3,000 kilometers below Earth’s surface
3、We can infer from the last three paragraphs that .
A．research int o Earth’s core has hardly made any progress in recent years
B．improvements in GPS systems could help people find out more about Earth
C．Earth’s core helps to protect humans from harm
D．scientists are likely to reach Earth’s center within dozens of years

29、Dear George,
I am delighted to hear that you want to take a course about Chinese traditional culture. I am writing to recommend one on Beijing Opera.
This course, “Introduction to Beijing Opera”, which will be held in Beijing next month for two weeks, contains two sections. A lecture on the history of Beijing Opera will introduce its time-honored development, including the detailed process of how it spread. What takes the course to a new height is a theater trip. Stepping into Mei Lanfang Theatre, you’ll get a taste of the performance techniques by appreciating how the voices and motions are perfectly combined on the stage.
I heartily recommend this course to you based on the following reasons. I know you love drama so much, so you will be able to more easily understand Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, Chou, the five main characters of Beijing Opera. It is also an interactive course, in which you will have a chance to communicate with opera performers face to face.
I hope my introduction is helpful. Please let me know if you have further questions.
Yours,
Li Hua。
