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）The discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on
fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century. However, the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past. Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation, employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of energy. The most effective among these resources is geothermal（地热的）energy.
Geothermal energy does not depend on the world’s economic and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting（提炼）fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional ones, saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.
Being a renewable resource, geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. For a comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those power plants that work on coal（煤）produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.
Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for many countries. Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment is less big: due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts, all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building. What’s more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long. All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.
1、Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because _______.
A．it is free to use geothermal energy
B．the production of fossil fuels costs a lot
C．fossil fuels are nearly used up
D．geothermal energy doesn’t depend on political situation
2、According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?
A．Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly.
B．Gas and coal are often used to produce electricity.
C．Coal is much more efficient than gas.
D．The geothermal sy stems don’t produce harmful gases.
3、Geothermal equipment is usually not as big as that of traditional energy because of______.
A．the life span of geothermal equipment B．geothermal power plants
C．the nature of geothermal energy D．the small buildings
4、What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Many countries have benefited from geothermal energy.
B．Geothermal energy is well accepted.
C．Fossil fuels are being run out of.
D．Geothermal energy has many advantages.
22．（8分）More students than ever before are taking a gap year (间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.
This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).
That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible.” he said.
But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £ 15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.
1、What do we learn about the gap year from the text?
A．It is flexible in length. B．It is a time for relaxation.
C．It is increasingly popular. D．It is required by universities.
2、According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year .
A．are better prepared for college studies
B．know a lot more about their future jobs
C．are more likely to leave university in debt
D．have a better chance to enter top universities
3、How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?
A．He’s puzzled.B．He’s worried.
C．He’s surprised.D．He’s annoyed.
4、What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?
A．Attend additional courses. B．Make plans for the new term.
C．Earn money for their education. D．Prepare for their graduate studies.
23．（8分）Few people, these days would disagree with the theory that it's vital to take time for yourself.
Creating some space for enjoyment and restoration each day or at least every week, is a win-win proposal: it’ll make you both happier and more effective in fulfilling your responsibilities at work and home. In practice, it rarely happens, though. For some, that's because deep down they feet they don't deserve it. For others, it's simply that busy life makes it seem impossible to press pause. Either way, making sure you actually get a. moment to yourself requires a shift in perspective.
Don't wait until it feels right. It's unpleasant to have unfinished tasks bothering at your mind, so it's tempting to tell yourself you'll only relax once everything is under control. But since both work and family life generate an infinite number of to-dos, that strategy is doomed to failure. As time-management writer Laura Vanderkarn points out, it's far more useful to learn to tolerate the discomfort of knowing your email inbox is filling up, or that the living room is still a pigsty.
Choose true enjoyment. It's all too easy to fill `me time' with things you think you should enjoy, above all exercise. If you genuinely love such activities, they're perfect. But if the truth is that you don't, you'll only get resentful: we rebel against being told what to do, even when the person doing the telling is ourselves. Make sure at least a small part of your week is spent doing something you can honestly say you enjoy for itself.
Pay attention to good feelings. Once you do get some restorative time, borrow a Buddhist technique for making it count: when you realize you're enjoying yourself, spend half a minute consciously paying attention to the feelings of pleasure. For one thing, you'll often find that those feelings increase as a result. For another, you'll encode the memory of the experience in more detail so, looking back, it'll feel like you had even more time to yourself.
1、Why is it hard for some people to find time for themselves practically?
A．They think they aren't worth it B．They have a lot of pressure.
C．They are in financial trouble. D．They can't spare any time
2、Which of the following is acceptable according to Paragraph two?
A．Never put off what you should do. B．Take a rest when it's time to
C．Relax yourself with all work done. D．Put up with others' shortcomings.
3、Which is the closest to "resentful" in paragraph three?
A．pleased. B．relaxed. C．relieved. D．annoyed.
4、What is best title of the passage?
A．Learn to Manage Time B．Find Time for Y ourself
C．Squeeze Time to Exercise D．Strengthen Time Consciousness
24．（8分）The Today I learned–The New York Times’ fun column always highlights some surprising and interesting facts. In that spirit,The New York Times lists some of the most eye-catching things out of the column and edits them into What I Learned This Year.Following are some facts out of What I Learned in 2016.
The world’s most-used natural resource (apart from water,listed at the second place and air,as the champion) is sand,which consists of extremely small pieces of stone-an d it’s disappearing.
A team’s success (at work) is often driven by 3 factors (with the importance from high to low) —its culture,the interpersonal relationship and the IQ or talent of its individuals.
Giraffes have been keeping a secret from most of us for a long time: They’ really four different species,not one.
The Greenland Shark lives at least 272 years and it could live as long as 512 years,which makes it the oldest living thing with a backbone（脊椎）on Earth.
More that 70 percent of Americans think Granola Bars (格拉诺拉燕麦棒)are healthy.Interesting,less than 30 percent of nutritionists（营养学家）agree.
Nearly 80 percent of teenagers say they don’t like to eat cereal porridge（燕麦粥）for breakfast,because they have to clean up the bowls after eating it.
It’s myth tha t closing unused apps on your smartphone will prolong battery life.And turning off Wi-Fi doesn’t help,either.
Annual percentage of highway death had been going down for the last four decades till it last year recorded the largest increase in 50 years.Blame Snapchat and other smarphone apps.
Death from gun-shooting is as enough as from car accidents in the United Stated and as scarce as from lightning strikes in Japan,which owns the reputation of one of the safest countries.
1、According to the passage,the wo rld’s most-used natural resource is______.
A．water B．air C．sand D．stone
2、According to the passage,the most important factor of a team’s success is_____.
A．a team’s culture B．the interpersonal relationship C．individual IQ D．individual talent
3、Which of the following descriptions is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Most people still don’t know that giraffes have four species.
B．The Greenland Shark is the oldest living life on Earth.
C．Cereal porridge is as unhealthy as Granola Bars for teenagers.
D．Closing unused apps on smart phones will prolong battery life.
4、The underlined word “scarce” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A．enough B．safe C．familiar D．rare
25．（10分）The human beings seem to be facing a crisis （危机）．After our best Go players were defeated one by one by the artificial intelligence （AI）AlphaGo，we lost our pride of being at the top of the intelligence chain．And in October，when Saudi Arabia gave citizenship to a robot named Sophia，another privilege of being human was taken away．It looks like everything that separates humans and AI is at risk fight now．
But we keep hoping that instead of "everything"，there's still something left in us that makes us irreplaceable．To Hao Jingfang，winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novelette，that "something" is our consciousness．"AlphaGo is intelligent in a certain way，but not intelligent enough to ask the important questions -- Do I like playing Go？Do I want to play Go today？Why do I have to play Go when you tell me to？" she once said．In other words，computer programs don't have a choice to say "no"．They probably don't even know what a "choice" is -- all they ever do is calculate．
And to He Huaihong，a philosophy （哲学）professor at Peking University，imagination and creativity are also what make us special．"A machine couldn't have come up with the theory of gravity just because it was hit by a falling apple"，he said．"It's human imagination that connects what seem to be completely random and irrelevant concepts，something that a machine--which works by fixed rules only--can't do，at least for now．"
This is why BBC reporter Viktor Mayer-Schonberger suggested that instead of focusing on how computers have overshadowed us on calculating abilities than humans，we should probably "consider our quality at a different end of the spectrum （光谱）：creativity，originality （原创性），even plain illogical craziness，instead of hard-nosed （顽固的）logic"，he wrote．
So maybe in the future，as artificial intelligence becomes even more intelligent，humans and A1will learn to use each other's talents for good．If AI can handle the boring tasks like calculating and driving for us，we'll have more time to create，think，and be busy with "being human"．
1、What can we learn about AlphaGo，according to Hao Jingfang？______
A．It will be taught to say no in the future．
B．It will be more intelligent than humans one day．
C．It has difficulty answering personal questions．
D．It is unable to think independently as humans do．
2、What does He Huaihong believe is unique to humans？______
A．Intelligence．B．Originality．
C．The ability to make rules．D．The ability to make choices．
3、What does the underlined word "overshadowed" in paragraph 5 probably mean？______
A．Competed with B．Taken control of
C．Been more successful than D．Influenced
4、What could be the future of AI according to the author？______
A．It will be used to help humans，rather than compete with us．
B．It may develop creativity besides better logical thinking．
C．It might be very dangerous to humans in different fields．
D．It will be applied to provide driving service for humans．

How time flies. It has been two months since you came to our school for the exchange program, which has benefited all of us. During the past two months, we have studied in the same classroom and lived in the same dormitory, which has enabled us to know each other better. Doing the same sports on the playground gives us the opportunity to promote our friendship. I believe that the students in our school have learned a lot from the exchange program.
At last, on behalf of all the students in our school, I wish you a safe and happy journey home and hope that there will be more programs like this in the future.
Thank you for listening.。
