第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

A
“Quick, quick, slow, slow, my husband said as I was trying to focus. We frequently stepped on each other’s feet. Both of us were being rhythmically (有节奏地) challenged, and we figured a series of lessons might help us look somewhat skilled on the dancing floor. However, it didn’t.
It didn’t matter that the lessons didn’t pay off. Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories, such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make a classic cocktails in a common bar. These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years. We always have such a great time when we’re trying something new together. It seems to have strengthened our relationship, and makes me feel like we have a closer connection.
It. turns out my theory as such is backed by research. One study shows that learning new things with your spouse (配偶), friends, or partners, can strengthen your connection or friendship. But how exactly does this work? The key is weakness. “Learning new things together strengthens connection because it is at those moments that we can show our weakness to one another,” says Dr. Hisla Bates. “When we are learning a new task, misfortunes and failures are sure to happen. In those moments
when we fail, the other party can be there in favor of us. We can work together to find a solution, and working together helps deepen the connection.”
The benefits gained from learning new things with your partner can come from activities as small as hiking, trying a new diet, going boating in the local lake or taking a fitness class together. You don’t have to bungee jump or skydive to grow closer. Try selecting activities that both partners are unfamiliar with, as this will ensure you’re on the same page.
Trying to learn something new together once a month will benefit you and your spouse or friends. Overall, some of my best memories with my husband are the moments when we are learning something new together.
21. What were the author and her husband doing in Paragraph 1?
A. Playing sports.
B. Practising dance.
C. Teaching lessons.
D. Taking a walk.
22. The underlined word backed (in Paragraph 2) can be probably replaced by ________.
A. judged
B. made
C. doubted
D. supported
23. The purpose of writing this passage is to show us ________.
A. the challenge of gaining new knowledge
B. the advantages of taking different lessons
C. the power of learning new things together
D. the importance of improving people’s connections
B
When temperatures rise, many people swim to beat the heat. But swimming does a lot more than that. It is a great workout for the whole body. Health experts at the University of California, Berkeley state that swimming is a great way to stay in shape.
Swimming is a very good high-intensity cardio exercise (高度有氧运动). Cardio involves the heart, lungs, and circulatory (血液循环的) system. The Berkeley experts say swimming can increase your heart rate and exercise your lungs. Some high-intensity cardio exercises, such as running, can improve your health but can also be likely to hurt your body. Swimming, on the other hand, is beneficial to the body and people often use it to recover from injuries.
Paul Waas, a coach and former competitive swimmer, says that swimming is more beneficial to the body than other sports because it is low-impact. A mother called Paloma with two daughters says that for her girls, swimming has been more beneficial to the body than some other sports. She said, “So far, I think it’s been good for their bodies. It’s a high-intensity cardio exercise, as you know. But it spares their knees, their joints, and so on. So it’s rare to get injured in swimming.”
The coach adds that swimming is a great exercise for kids who grow a lot in a short amount of time. Coach Waas said, “Swimming is really good for kids who are growing fast. Their bones might be hurting and they’re suffering from serious pain all the time. And then they get in the pool and, you know, they can float and stretch out a little bit and it reduces that as well.
People who are overweight can also find relief through swimming. Their weightlessness in the water can help them to avoid injury as they exercise.
24. According to Paragraph 2, swimming is better than running because ________.
A. it’s a bit easier to do
B. it’s better and safer for our bodies
C. it makes people feel more comfortable
D. it increases our heart rates more slowly
25. What’s Paul Waas’s attitude towards swimming?
A. Positive.
B. Negative.
C. Doubtful.
D. Worried.
26. What does the underlined word that in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Floating and stretching out.
B. Fast physical growth of kids.
C. Swimming in a swimming pool.
D. The pain caused by kids’ physical growth.
C
Teens and their teachers know well that early-morning classes can be tiring. Doctors now have a solution: for better teen health, push the sleep button on school start times.
Janet Croft, who studies teens and sleep at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta high schools, says, “Most teens are actually brain dead when they go to these early classes. Too many students start their day as walking zombies (僵尸).”
One report stresses the importance of sleep for teens and describes the dangers from not getting enough sleep. Studies in the past have shown over and over that teens lacking sleep face higher risks of being overweight and being frustrated.
Many teens get too little sleep because they attend middle and high schools that start earlier than 8:30 am. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), those early start times throw off a student’s internal body rhythm, called the circadian clock (生物钟). Too little sleep disturbs that clock and causes problems.
The study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that nearly 6 in every 10 middle school students and 9 in 10 high school students are sleeping too little. Yet many parents aren’t aware of this. In the same study, 7 of every 10 parents said they believed their kids did sleep enough. That study shows too many parents are unaware of the science on teen-sleep needs, says Owens.
Kyla Wahlstrom, a former teacher, who has spent a lot of time with teens lacking sleep, says: “An incredible number of students are either sleeping at their desks or sitting there like a lump, not asking questions or raising their hands.”
Getting enough sleep can help a teen on the inside, too. Several studies have shown that children and teenagers who don’t sleep enough are more likely to become obese, or extremely overweight. Teens lacking sleep also are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression and mood disorders. It’s time to recognize how important sleep is, particularly to teenagers.
27. What does the author want to stress by mentioning “walking zombies” in Paragraph 2?
A. The students’ brain health is worrying.
B. The students are fond of computer games.
C. The students are so used to staying up very late.
D. The students are in a bad state of learning in early classes.
28. According to AAP in Paragraph 4, early school schedules affect teens by ________.
A. increasing their course load
B. affecting their circadian clock
C. affecting their performance at school
D. disturbing their relationships with classmates
29. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The number of teens lacking sleep is growing fast.
B. Physical and mental health are equally important to teens.
C. It is really necessary to adjust school start times in the morning.
D. Teachers should take measures to raise students’ interest in learning.
30. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Parents are unaware of their kids’ sleep condition.
B. Being overweight is very common among American teens.
C. Early school start times can turn teens into the walking dead.
D. Researchers have found out how sleep is related to teens’ study. .

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Find Your Self-worth
Do you measure your personal self-worth based on what others think of you? Do you work really hard to make others like or support you? Do you lack confidence? 31 Increasing self image will help build your confidence and your personal self -worth. So how?
Pay attention to your body language. How you hold your physical body has an effect on how others see you and on how you personally feel. Similarly, how you feel often determines your body language and your outward behavior. 32 A simple way is to check your body language. Stand tall with your head held high, shoulders squared, back straight and legs solid; you will feel more in control.
Develop your own measuring stick. 33 Don’t let others influence your view of success or happiness. Take time out to recognize your achievements no matter how big or small they are. Keep track of your achievements and proud moments in a journal. If you keep a personal journal or even a work journal, start writing in the journal from back to front keeping track of all the little and big things that happen every day.
34 Here’s a simple exercise you can do to gain a richer way of thinking on how you are sensed by others. Start by taking a close look at yourself and create a list of your unique strengths. Who are you? 35 Ask friends, families to share with you what they see as your key characteristics.
Now you know that you’re more than you think you are. So, create a positive picture of your future and then confidently move forward.
A. Know your worth.
B. The two go hand in hand.
C. What sets you apart from others?
D. Are you beating yourself up with your own language?
E. If your answer is yes, perhaps you just don’t consider yourself worthy.
F. Know what’s important to you and take time to honor what you value most.
G. Then take a step towards something you really want by taking some action.

People pay much money for gym memberships and classes to 50 extra energy. So why not 51 paying the fitness industry to exercise and 52 physical fitness with such kind of daily chores? Surely, they’re better off 53 that money and putting the energy to practical use.
A neighborhood can have a Facebook group where people in need of help can 54 things on it. Then, people who want to exercise can help them out. It’s a win-win situation. In addition to helping people, this can also be shaped as a new 55 to keep fit.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We read articles, e-mails and WeChat quickly, trying to understand key words and the most important meaning of a certain text. Faced with so much information from our smart phones, it would be impossible to deal if we read word by word, line by line. However, more and more people enjoy reading slowly.
There is a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones. They sink into comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike other book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn’t exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from smart phones and read in a quiet, relaxing environment. Actually, the Wellington book club is just one example of slow-reading book clubs.
Nowadays, technology has made us unable to focus on reading. “Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and information left-to-right order to a wild skimming (略读) and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading a text with links leads to weaker understanding than reading an ordinary text," says Patrick Kingsley from a newspaper. However, slow reading is good for readers in many ways. It sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize (共鸣). Another study last year showed that reading novels slowly helps people understand others’ mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.
Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kell, a slow reader. “You can put in half an hour pretty easily during your free moments. You pick up a meaningful book rather than start your computer to look for your favorite site for something to pass the time,” Kelly said.

Dear Alex,
I’m going to study in Bay House School as an exchange student next term. As this is my first time to study abroad, could you do me the favor to search for a suitable flat for me? My requirements are as follows.
What concerns me most is the location of the flat. It’ll be fantastic if the flat is close to the school, which enables me to get there within ten minutes. Besides, I hope I have free access to the Internet so that I can study efficiently. Additionally, the monthly rent should range from £200 to £300.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Yours,

Text 1
M: Would you like today’s special, a cheeseburger and fries?
W: Uh, no fries for me. I’ll take a small potato salad. And I’ll have a large iced coffee, please. Text 2
W: Jim! Do you want the tree in my front garden?
M: Thanks, Maggie. But I don’t think I’ve got anywhere to put it.
W: All right. Steve said he’d have it if you didn’t, so I expect he’ll take it away sometime.
Text 3
W: Put on your hat and more clothes when you go out.
M: I don’t need that. The rain has stopped.
W: But it has strong wind outside. And it’s going to snow according to the forecast.
Text 4
W: I’ve never seen you in that shirt before.
M: Oh, I’ve had it for 2 years, but I don’t wear it very often-it’s a little tight on the shoulders.
W: The color suits you, though.
Text 5
M: The weather was clear all down the coast, so the flight was pretty smooth.
W: But that fog did make it longer than we expected.
M: Yeah. Anyway I am glad to be home safely.
Text 6
M: It’s a hot day, isn’t it? Would you like a cold drink? (6)
W: Yes, please. I’d like a cup of green tea if you’ve got any.
M: I’ll go and look in the kitchen. (6) Yes, there’s a bottle here, but it isn’t cold.
W: Well, we can put it in the refrigerator for a while. Have you got a refrigerator?
M: Yes, but it is full of bottles of water. (7)
W: Never mind. Can I have a large piece of ice in it?
M: I’m afraid not. The refrigerator hasn’t been working properly.
Text 7
W: Well, all your tests are clear, so it looks as if you have now completely recovered. How are you feeling?
M: Much stronger, but I still get headaches.
W: Hmm, are you getting regular exercise and lots of fresh air?
M: Well, no. I wasn’t strong enough to exercise after the operations so...
W: Well, to get rid of those headaches, I’ll give you some medicine. Take one spoon every four hours for the next two days. I suggest you take up something like jogging. You should also get lots of fresh air. (9)
M: Thanks for your advice. My mother gave me the same advice, too. OK. I’ll join a health club next week.

W: Our event to introduce our new phone didn’t go as well as we planned. (10) We booked a hall that held two hundred fifty people, but only one hundred attended. (11)
M: What was the problem? Didn’t you do enough advertising?
W: We had plenty of advertising, but I think we did it too close to the event and people’s schedules were already booked. Also, the event was on a Friday night, but a lot of people have to work then, so I think we would have done better on a Saturday.
M: But Saturdays are busy, too. Last year we did it on a Saturday and the attendance was about the same. Maybe next time we should do more Internet advertising (12) instead of relying heavily on television ads.
Text 9
M: Tina, I know that you are a very good student and as a teacher, I always want to know what students are thinking. Would you mind my asking you some questions? (13) (16)
W: Of course not, go ahead.
M: OK, the first question: Do you like homework?
W: Well, yes. I used to hate it when I was small but being a university student, I’m more active towards homework although I don’t have much anymore. (14)
M: OK. Next question: Do you prefer an easy-going teacher who has few rules over the class or do you prefer a strict teacher who has many rules? (15)
W: I would like the former. You know, students should have their own lives. The teacher should respect different ways of doing things for the students I think. (15)
M: OK. Last one: Do you prefer studying with multimedia or printed materials?
W: I like to write on things that I read so I think I prefer printed materials where I can actually have a hands-on feeling.
Text 10
W: During an interview it’s important that you be yourself. Get a good night’s asleep and plan your travel to be there in plenty of time, so that you’re not arriving out of breath. Don’t, though, present yourself for the interview too early: ten minutes at most. (17) In the interview, listen carefully to each question asked. Take your time answering. It’s important to express a good attitude and show that you are willing to work and eager to learn. In general, focus on your abilities and look for chances to personalize the interview. Briefly answer questions with examples from either your life or previous job experiences. (18) Remember to be honest. Something you should avoid is “yes” or “no” answers to questions. If you are questioned about your salary requirements, it is good to avoid the question until you have been offered a job. When the interview is over, leave quickly. It is almost always a must to send a thank-you note after a job interview. (19) Think about the interview and learn from the experience. Also, here are a few more tips. First, pay attention to your body language. Second, go to the barber’s, have a shave, etc. Remember that your appearance shows whether you have the right attitude, (20) so give some thought to how you look. And, finally, don’t be a clock-watcher!。
