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 golden sunshine and a gentle breeze, autumn is the most beautiful season in the year. This is a great time to go outside and have fun. Go to a valley to see red maple trees, go and pick fruit in an orchard or find an open field to fly your kite in.
However, for many high school students, these great activities may be just a dream. With plenty of work to do, they spend all their hours indoors, struggling for a high mark in their exams. Of course, study is one of the most important things for teenagers. But life is definitely much more than that.
Sometimes we spend so much time studying that we forget how to make life wonderful. In doing so, we lose the real purpose of life — to be a valuable and happy person. To enjoy just how great it is to be alive, we have to put down our books and pens and look around us. Students, take some exercise to improve your health, talk with your parents and friends for understanding and walk around outside to refresh your body and mind.
Going out and enjoying the beautiful countryside often helps our creativity in our work. Chinese craftsman, Lu Ban, created a saw to help woodworkers. But if he hadn’t walked outside, he would not have been inspired by a kind of toothed grass. We could also suppose if Newton hadn’t rested under that apple tree, then he wouldn’t have been hit by an apple, and his classic theories would not have come out.
Going out is not only a break from hard work, but a chance to add to life experience. So come on, give your brain a good rest. Step out of the books and get your bag ready for an autumn outing. We are sure you will get much more than knowledge from the exciting journey.
1、In which paragraph does the writer make a summary about his opinion?
A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2.
C．Paragraph 5. D．Paragraph 4.
2、Why is going out a dream for many high school students?
A．They are unhappy to do so.
B．Their parents don’t allow them to do so.
C．They think study is the most important thing for them.
D．They have too much work to do for getting high marks in the exams.
3、The passage is developed mainly by .
A．making predictions
B．reasoning and giving examples
C．describing the beautiful scenery in Autumn
D．pointing out the present situation of high school students
4、What message can you get from the passage?
A．Nature is power.
B．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
C．The author isn’t happy with our education at all.
D．Going out can make high school students get more.
22．（8分） A freshly baked roll is as delightful as a soft，light cloud on a summer's day.What gives bread much of its appealing texture is gluten，a group of proteins found in wheat.But in people with celiac disease(乳糜泻)，gluten damages the small intestine(肠).Many others may have milder gluten intolerance and avoid foods that contain it.
Most gluten-free bread is made from alternative flours such as rice or potato，so it tastes and feels different from wheat bread.Now，however，researchers say that they have found a way to genetically engineer wheat that contains far less of the most troublesome type of gluten—but still has other proteins that give bread its characteristic taste and springiness.
Genetically modified crops are the subject of fierce debate around the world.The biggest concern involves the practice of inserting DNA from one species into another，says Francisco Barro，a plant biotechnologist.To avoid this genetic crossover，Barro and his colleagues used the gene-editing technique CRISPR／Cas9 to cut selected genes from a wheat genome(基因组).
Their study zeroed in on alpha-gliadins(α-胶质蛋白)，gluten proteins believed to be wheat’s major troublemakers in the immune system.The researchers designed bits of genetic material that directed the scissor-like Cas9 protein to cut out 35 of the 45 alpha—gliadin genes.When the modified wheat was tested in a Petri dish，it produced an 85 percent weaker immune response，the team reported online last September in Plant Biotechnology Journal.
Wendy Harwood，a crop geneticist at the John Innes Center in England，who was not part of the study，notes that the engineered wheat has a long way to go before it can be turned into anything marketable.“I don’t think it's the end of the story.”she says.“This is just a really important step in maybe producing something that is going to be incredibly
us eful.”To develop a completely safe strain of wheat for celiac patients，the researchers may need to target more of the gluten genes.Barro says his team is working on that.
1、What’s the text mainly about?
A．Making gluten—free bread.
B．Advantages of gluten-free wheat.
C．Debate about genetically modified crops.
D．Developing genetically engineered wheat.
2、Why is bread mentioned in paragraph 1?
A．To advertise a new study.
B．To raise the topic to be written about.
C．To provide some advice for the readers.
D．To popularize some information about medicine.
3、What concerns people most according to paragraph 3?
A．Genetic crossover. B．Gene-editing technique.
C．The practice of using DNA．D．The subject of fierce debate.
4、What’s Wendy Harwood’s attitude towards engi neered wheat?
A．A little alarmed. B．Mildly surprised.
C．Somewhat opposed. D．Cautiously optimistic.
23．（8分）It is made from grapes grown without pesticides (杀虫剂) and chemicals, is kind to the environment and rarely causes hangovers (酒后头痛). Sales of organic wine are booming in the UK.
According to the organic food and farming group Soil Association, sales of organic beers, wines and spirits rose by 14.3% last year to reach nearly £6 million, driven by the demand from consumers who are increasingly seeking “natural” food.
“It seems that people are rediscovering their link with the environment through organic food. Organic wines also taste better, perhaps due to less use of man-made chemicals.” said Finn Cottle of Soil Association. As well as the benefits of producing grapes without using pesticides, organic wine also contains less sulphur dioxide (二氧化硫), which can contribute towards hangovers.
Supermarkets are increasing supplies on their shelves to meet consumer demand, while the switch to online shopping has also helped, as people are more easily able to find what they are looking for. Vintage Roots is now one of the UK’s biggest online shops of organic wine, while Ocado provides more than 100 different organic wines and Daylesford, best-known for its organic vegetable boxes, has branched out into organic wine and spirits.
The discount supermarket Aldi is set to start its first collection of so-called “green” wines this week, offering eight wines with organic certificates. Aldi expects the wines to appeal to the young shoppers who are increasingly concerned about the environmental influence of the produce that they are buying and consuming.
English organic wine producer Oxney Estate’s Noir Rosé recently won the Waitrose prize for the most outstanding rosé wi ne at the competition. A spokeswoman for Waitrose said: “Organic wine is a growing trend globally and we have seen sales increase by 16% in the last year”.
1、Sales of organic wine are increasing probably because ________.
A．consumers are now more environmentally aware
B．it offers a very different taste from traditional wine
C．consumers are tired of hangovers after drinking
D．it contains no sulphur dioxide or pesticide
2、What’s the main idea of paragraph 4?
A．UK supermarkets welcome organic wine and spirits.
B．Online shopping promotes the sales of organic wine.
C．There’re not enough supplies of organic wine in the UK.
D．Supermarkets should go online to sell more wine.
3、“Waitrose” in the last paragraph is probably ________.
A．a wine producer B．an organic wine
C．a wine competition D．a news agency
4、The writing purpose of the text is to ________.
A．persuade readers to go green while drinking
B．compare organic wine and traditional wine
C．share with readers wines without hangovers
D．introduce a new consuming trend in the UK

25．（10分）My friend, Jack, was a taxi driver. We became friends quite by accident. Five years ago, I made a trip to Chicago. The moment I stepped into a cab, I realized it was different. The floor was covered with a rug (小地毯). There were small reproductions of paintings by Van Gogh inside the cab. And the windows were spotless. I told the driver I had never ridden in a more attractive taxi.
“I like to hear my passengers say that,” he replied. “How long have you been decorating your cab?” I asked. “It’s not mine,” he said. “It’s a company cab. I hit upon the idea years ago when I worked as a clean-up man for the taxi company. Each car that came in at the end of the day was like a garbage pit. Cigarette butts and matches covered the floor. Sticky stuff like peanut butter was on the seats or door handles. I thought that if the company and the drivers
would give people a car worth keeping clean, they might be more considerate. ”
“As soon as I g ot my taxi license, I tried out my ideas. I put a lot of extra decorations into the cab they gave me to drive. I got a nice rug and some flowers. When each passenger got out, I checked to make sure that everything was in order for the next fare. After about a month of my bringing in a spotless cab, the boss reserved the same car for me each day. That was when I put up the reproductions of great paintings.”
“I’ve never been disappointed by people in the past ten years—no garbage. Like I say, people appreciate beautiful things. If we planted more flowers and trees in the city and made the buildings more attractive, more people would tend to keep the city clean.”
Later, we became good friends. I was impressed by the taxi-driver, who had hit on a great truth—a sense of beauty comes with the gift of life. Most people don’t have to be instructed about the rarity of beauty. They respond when they find it. And, if they are made to feel a part of it, they will try to add to it.
1、What made the writer surprised when he got into the taxi?
A．The beautiful decoration on the rug.
B．The style of decoration outside the taxi.
C．The masterpieces of well-known painters.
D．The impressive inner environment of the taxi.
2、Jack got the idea of decorating the cab when _______.
A．he got his taxi license
B．the boss reserved the same car for him each day
C．he served as a clean-up man for the taxi company
D．he found the taxi he cleaned was full of cigarette butts
3、What does the story mainly tell us?
A．People can easily make friends when taking a taxi.
B．When people find beauty in life, they will try to add to it.
C．If we plant more flowers and trees, we can keep the city clean.
D．We have to be taught to find beauty and make it more beautiful.

Whenever I go to a post office, I always find myself in line behind someone whom has much business to do. One day, I had to buy some stamp, but I had to wait behind an old lady. Feeling that I could not stand waiting in so a line any longer, I decided to join another one. They seemed twice as long as the first line, and as least it was moving. It turned out to be the worse choice I had ever made. As soon as I lost my place in the first line, the one I joined slowed to a stop. I had no choice but wait. At last it was my turn. I nearly jumped for a joy. Then the clerk behind the counter stood out,
pushed forward a printed sign saying “Position Closed” and saying without a smile, “Sorry, going to lunch.”

23、On 29 May last year, I was doing my swim training for a half Ironman race in the bay near my home.
I was finishing my first loop (圈) when I felt jaws coming around my body and a sharp pain. The water was dark, so I couldn’t see anything. It just came out of nowhere and then it was gone in a flash. I knew it was something really big and assumed it was a shark. I panicked, but knew I needed to get out of the water. I was kicking wildly in case it came back. There was a lifeguard boat close by, so I waved my arms in the air and screamed for help. It got to me within 20 seconds. At that point I didn’t feel anything; adrenaline (肾上腺素) had taken over. The lifeguards held me under the arms and pulled me up out of the water. Then the pain kicked in and it was pretty hard to bear. Some muscle had been bitten off my right arm. I felt a lot of warm, gushing blood.
My chest felt heavy, as if someone had put their foot on it, and I was having trouble breathing. It was extremely painful. When I got to the hospital, I told the nurses to put me to sleep because of the pain. I just wanted them to fix me.
I woke up after surgery four hours later. My doctor was amazed when I managed to move my fingers: the bite just missed a major nerve. My right lung had been damaged; I had several broken bones and a nerve in my leg was cut, so I have reduced feeling at the top of my leg. The shark also bit through my upper back muscle.
Local experts determined that the shark was probably 9-10 feet long. It was young, about seven years old. It just attacked me, left and didn’t come back because it figured I wasn’t food.
5、The writer mentions Adrenaline in Paragraph 2 to ________.
A．explain why she didn’t feel pain at that time
B．offer a possible reason the shark attacked her
C．show how dangerous the situation was then
D．describe the suffering a shark bite could cause
6、The writer of the text can be best described as ________.
A．grateful B．confident
C．tough D．aggressive

I am Li Hua from NO. 1 Middle school. Next Saturday I have to be the host of the English evening in the school,
but I am not sure how to do it well because this will be the first time I have done the job speaking in English. What should I pay attention to? Are there any special ways of saying things on this occasion, for example, any particular words or expressions that I have to be careful with?
I’m looking forward to your advice, and I do wish that you could spare enough time to come to the English evening. Yours,
