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）My reason for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette（磁带）on our previous summer road trips.
As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip, I came across a book—Jim Trelease’s—The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem. I thought. So I put Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and fought with each other in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm
of the words and began to listen.
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pas more quickly. Sometimes reading became the most interesting part of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls’s Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring（恢复）electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation “The book you read in the car.”
Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I’m beginning to see tat reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.
1、Why did the author start reading in the car?
A．She wanted to have a better journey.
B．She wanted to keep a family tradition
C．Her children were addicted to reading.
D．Her children were tired of the cassette.
2、How did the children react after the author read a few lines?
A．They kept fighting. B．They hid themselves.
C．They soon settled down. D．They read together aloud.
3、What can we learn about the author and her family’s trip to the beach?
A．They were caught in a storm.
B．They enjoyed reading on the road.
C．They had a good time on the beach.
D．They found reading boring.
4、Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Better Traveling than Reading B．Books that Changed My Children
C．Road Trips Full of Challenges D．Reading Makes Great Road Trips
22．（8分）Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.
Two US-based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic Society, conducted an online survey last year. They wanted to know what young people in American colleges knew about geography, U. S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.
The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26, all of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from. a 2- or 4-year college or university.
The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U. S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.
“Part of the problem,” argue the organizers of the survey, “is the Internet.” They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events among all the fake news and trivia (琐事) which swamp (淹没) the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.
Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.
The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.
Haass says these findings suggest the need to find ways to get good information for students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.
1、What do we know about the survey?
A．The participants were all recent university graduates.
B．It was an online survey conducted by two US universities.
C．It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26.
D．It aimed to find out what the young people know about America.
2、What’s one reason the organizers of the survey give for young people’s lack of knowledge?
A．The poor quality of the US university system.
B．Y oung people’s unwillingness to travel abroad.
C．The sources from which they gel their information
D．Their lack of interest in knowing more about the world.
3、What topic did the young Americans understand best according to the survey?
A．Government organizations.
B．Geographic information.
C．Foreign relations.
D．Environmental matters.
4、In which part of a newspaper could we find this article?
A．Economics. B．Education.
C．National Politics. D．Entertainment.

24．（8分）Emma Watson entered our lives as the perfect Hermione Granger in 2001, and 16 years later, we’re just as much in love with this charming, intelligent British girl, as ever. You may or may not be a Potter head, but a lot of people are charmed by Emma Watson’s perfection.
Despite being a star performer at the young age of 11, she’s never gone the Hollywood spoiled child route. In fact, she made all attempts to stay as normal as possible. She said, “Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn’t advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn’t wise to share a bathroom with eight oilier people in a dormitory. Looking back, I think that was crazy.”
She added, “I was very well-educated. My dad paid for me to go to a very good school, so I worked hard every single day at that school to make him proud of me. And I did, and I still do.”
If we had to imagine what Hermione Granger would have grown up to be like, we would say she’d be the Emma Watson of the Potter universe because there really is no way to separate the two. In the last few years, Emma has added more feathers to her cap than we imagined being humanly possible, which include actor, scholar, model arid UN Women Goodwill A mbassador. In her role as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, she’d supported powerful causes to the best of her ability and brought them all the attention they deserve.
Emma Watson gave us the most accurate description of our favorite girl from the Potter uni verse. “Young girls are told you have to be a delicate princess. Hermione taught them that you can be a warrior.”
1、After Emma Watson became an actress, she .
A．followed most of the Hollywood child route
B．had a preference for a normal life
C．became rebellious in a funny way
D．went to a good college instead
2、What does the author mean by “Emma has added more feathers to her cap” in Para 4?
A．Emma has earned more titles.
B．Emma wears a cap with feathers.
C．Emma is expert at designing caps.
D．Emma has been more absorbed in her job.
3、What can be the best title for the text?
A．Emma Watson: You Can Be the Best Actress.
B．Emma Watson: You Can Be a Warrior.
C．The Way to Be a Delicate Princess.
D．The Way to Be a Good Performer.
4、What’s the author’s attitude to Emma Watson?
A．Critical. B．Objective.
C．Cautious. D．Appreciative,
25．（10分）A little girl who battled against cancer received a special gift on her third birthday, thanks to a creative stranger from Idaho.

22、Y ou can’t make a call or send a text on your mobile phone in the US town of Green Bank, West Virginia. Wireless Internet is outlawed, as is Bluetooth. As you approach the tiny town on a two-lane road that snakes through the mountains, your mobile phone signal drops out, and your radio stops working. The rusted pay phone on the north side of town is the only way for a visitor to reach the rest of the world. It’s a pre-modern place by design, lacking of the latest technologies that define life today.
The reason for the town’s empty airwaves is apparent the moment you arrive. It’s the Robert C．Byrd telescope, also known as the GBT, a shiny white, 147-metre-tall satellite dish. It’s the largest of its kind in the world and one of nine in Green Bank, all of them government owned and operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).
You don’t look through these kinds of telescopes. They’re radio telescopes, so instead of looking for dist ant stars, they listen for them. There’s a long line of astronomers all over the world who want to use the telescope which is so sensitive that it could hear a single snowflake hitting the ground 1,000 miles away.
Such a sensitive listening tool needs total technological silence to operate, so in 1958 the US government created a National Radio Quiet Zone, a 33,000 km2 area covering Green Bank where, to this day, electronic and radio signals are forbidden every hour of every day.
People who live within a 15km of the Green Bank telescope are allowed to use landline telephones, wired Internet and cable televisions, but microwave ovens, wireless Internet and radios are forbidden. You can have a mobile phone, but you won’t get a signal.
Because of how much its way of life varies from the rest of America, Green Bank seems to be a somewhat isolated (隔绝), even alien place. For locals, the technology ban is annoying. For others who come to Green Bank for a little rest and relaxation, the town has become a refuge.
5、What do we know about the town of Green Bank from Paragraph 1?
A．It’s located at the base of a large mountain.
B．It is geographically and technologically isolated.
C．Its telecommunications are affected by its geography.
D．Many people live in the town and its surrounding areas.
6、How does the GBT work?
A．It traps light waves in its huge dish.
B．It stops all electronic and radio signals.
C．It receives pictures from space satellites.
D．It listens for and receives noises from space.
7、What equipment are locals of the Green Bank allowed to use?
A．Cable TV, wired Internet and radio.
B．Landline phones, wired Internet and cable TV.
C．Public phones, wireless Internet and mobile phones.
D．Landline phones, microwave ovens and cable internet.
8、What does the underlined wo rd “refuge” in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A．A place of escape. B．A source of confusion.
C．An area of interest. D．A sign of danger.

29、Dear Sir or madam,
I’m Li Hua , an oversea student from China. In answer to your advertisement on the website, I would like to apply for the position as a volunteer in your organization and try my best to call on others to protect animals.
I think I’m qualified for the job. Initially, I love animals very much. Meanwhile, I have been calling on people around me to show mercy on animals, having previous experience of being a volunteer in an ocean park.
Once hired, I would be very happy and I would devote myself to this job to raise more people’s awareness of animal protection such as making speeches in my school and posting on the internet. Besides these, I will use all the resources available to appeal to more people to act to ensure that animals do have a place in the world of our great grandchildren.
Best wishes to you and I’m looking forward to your earliest reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua。
