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）If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and
some times strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr Andrea Michelle, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a numbe r of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings sugge st that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience
of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的).” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
1、The main subject talked about in this passage is ______.
A．science on learning a second language
B．man’s ability of learning a second language
C．language can help brain power
D．language learning and maths study
2、In the second paragraph, the writer mentio ns “exercise” in order to ______.
A．say language is also a kind of physical labor
B．prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language
C．to show the importance of using the language when you learn the language D．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
3、The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ______.
A．a researcher on language learning
B．a person who is good at learning foreign languages
C．a person who can speak two languages
D．an active language learner
22．（8分）Wellington: Huawei has started a rugby-themed media campaign in a bid to win over New Zealand’s public after the country’s security agency blocked the Chinese technology giant’s equipment from being used in a nationwide Internet network.
“5G without Huawei is like rugby without New Zealand,” ads in New Zealand’s two largest newspapers read alongside a photo of players competing in a ball. Large posters also appeal to the country’s love of the sport. In November, New Zealand’s Government Communic ations Security Department (GCSD) told Spark it couldn’t use equipment from Huawei-the worlds largest telecommunication equipment company—in the building of its 5G network because an unspecific “significant network security risk was identified”. Spark is n ow in the process of seeing if it can make changes to prevent those risks, although GCSD has declined to publicly say how that would happen.
Huawei’s newspaper ad goes on to argue the decision would mean less advanced technology and higher prices for New Zealand customers. The ads come after the company last month publicly offered to only use New Zealand, rather than Chinese, staff to build the network—in a bid to ease fears—and called for an urgent meeting with the government, denying (否认) there had been any wrongdoing.
Western spy agencies have increasingly raised security concerns about Huawei—China’s largest telecommunications company-over what they say are possible links to the Chinese government, with the United States reportedly pressing Five Eyes intelligence network allies (同盟国) to avoid the company. Australia and Canada were
the first countries to ban Huawei from a building of 5G networks.
The company has repeatedly denied accusations.
New Zealand’s top politicians have repeatedly denied the GCSD decision w as influenced by other Western powers and say it’s about the particular technology being suggested, not China. They have also denied suggestions New Zealand’s diplomatic ties with China have been tense over the decision, with the official promotion of a major China—New Zealand tourism project now postponed.
1、Why did Huawei make the ad?
A．To ask New Zealanders for advice.
B．To tell New Zealanders how powerful it is.
C．To get support from the public in New Zealand.
D．To argue with the government of New Zealand.
2、What will happen if New Zealanders force Huawei out?
A．They will be blamed by Chinese.
B．They will be tricked by Americans.
C．They will lose a chance of being stronger.
D．They will miss advanced technology and pay more.
3、Why does GCSD refuse to state the risks clearly?
A．They are secret. B．They are imaginary.
C．They are difficult to decide. D．They are beyond description.
4、Which country plays the key role in the campaign against Huawei? A．Australia. B．USA．C．New Zealand. D．Canada.
23．（8分）Questioning the existence of aliens is something that scientists have done for decades. In fact, most people do believe that aliens exist in some fashion. The main necessities for life are water and some form of energy source. Not surprisingly, there are some planets, exoplanets and moons that fit the bill. Here are several best chances at finding life in the universe.
◆TRAPPIST-1
TRAPPIST-1 is a planetary system a few dozen light-years away, whose discovery was announced in early 2017. This system consists of seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting an "ultra-cool" star, and it is one of our shots at finding possible life beyond our own solar system.
◆Titan
Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the sixth planet from our Sun. This moon could potentially harbor life but possibly not in the sense that we think. Titan does not exactly fit the description of being in a typical habitable zone.
Titan has water, and it has liquid. It just doesn't have liquid water. The water on this moon is completely solid because of the extremely cold temperature.
◆Europa
Europa is one of Jupiter's moons here in our own solar system. It is another candidate due to its potential to hold liquid water. Europa is thought to have all the necessities for life including water, energy sources, and the right chemical build-up.
◆Mars
The Red Planet, the fourth from the Sun, is probably one of the most talked-about potential candidates for extraterrestrial(地球外的) life and even for human colonization. Despite some different voices, finding extraterrestrial life on Mars really is a serious possibility.
We know by now that we won't find little green men or any intelligent form of life that we understand. However, there is evidence that there was and may still be microscopic life on the small red planet.
1、The common point of these celestial bodies is that _______.
A．solid water exists on them respectively
B．life might exist on each of them
C．they all contain liquid water
D．each of them has living things on it
2、Which celestial body could have life different from human imagination? A．TRAPPIST-1. B．Titan.
C．Europa. D．Mars.
3、Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Europa is the most talked-about potential candidate for extraterrestrial life. B．TRAPPIST-1 is the only body that contains life beyond the solar system.
C．All the scientists do believe that aliens exist in some manner.
D．There is proof that life existed on the celestial body Mars.
24．（8分）Ask any readers who their favorite fictional character in a novel is
and you’ll likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved character that they admire. It might even sound like they’re talking about a person they know.
In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and half didn’t. After examining, researchers found the readers’ brains showed heightened connectivity (连通性) in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not to read the novel, they kept this heightened connectivity. We call that a “shadow activity”, almost like a muscle memory. So even after you’ve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some time afterwards.
It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情作用的), because fiction is a simulation (模仿) of social experiences, in which people practice and improve their interpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction, but felt a high level of “emotional transportation” while reading --- as compared to people who weren’t taken by the story or who read non-fiction---displayed higher levels of empathy when tested. Increase of empathy is important for people because empathy is positively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors.
Besides, reading improves “Theory of Mind”. It is “the ability to understand that others have mental states that are different from one’s own.” Of various activities, reading novels has been found to improve this ability, while watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite --- a reduced understanding of others and weaker cognitive (认知的) development overall.
Maybe we should put more of a priority on novel-reading. And many readers believe that reading a novel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kidd of the New School study said, “Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experience; it is a social experience.”
1、What is implied in the Paragraph 2?
A．Reading novels is just a waste of time.
B．Reading novels can help people become happy.
C．Reading novels increases connectivity in our brain.
D．Reading novels helps enhance our memory greatly.
2、What do we know about novel readers from Paragraph 3?
A．They tend to be emotional in social experiences.
B．They understand the emotions of people better.
C．They like to talk about their favorite characters.
D．They are more sensitive to everything.
3、What’s the effect of watching T V or movies?
A．It distinguishes your views from those of others.
B．It contributes to your cognitive development.
C．It reduces your empathy for others a lot.
D．It changes your overall mental states.
4、What does the underlined word “priority” in the last par agraph mean? A．Preference. B．Authority.
C．Exposure. D．Evaluation.
25．（10分）Legend has it that the performing arts began when a Greek singer named Thespis invented tragedy.In 534 B．C．, Thespis was performing a hymn（赞美诗）to the god Dionysius.Such hymns,called dithyrambs,were usually sung by a lead singer and a chorus.Thespis added a speaking actor.Performances at the annual Dionysian festival soon included plays with three actors as well as the standard hymns.By 449 B．C．,the Greeks were giving prizes to the best actor and the best playwright at the festival.A modern word for actor—thespian recognizes the debt today's drama owes to Thespis.
Performing in a Greek play required physical strength.Because each play had only three actors,performers had to play several roles.Chorus members both sang and danced.Being in the chorus for the many performances given at a festival was said to be as demanding as competing in the Olympic Games.
The Theater of Dionysius in Athens could hold 20,000 people.Even those in the front rows were quite a distance from the actors.Performers used grand gestures and wore masks so that they could be seen by everyone in their huge audience.Tragic（悲剧的）actors wore long clothes and ic actors wore short costumes that let them move freely and masks designed to make them look ugly or silly.Sometimes the chorus were dressed up to look like animals.
Another legacy（遗产）of the ancient Greeks is the deus ex machina,or "god from
the machine".If a playwright was having trouble with the plot,he might have a god appear through a trap door（天窗）.The god would rescue the main character and find a solution to any difficult plot situations.Modem writers might not call on gods,but they
do sometimes use unlikely ways to end a story.A character or an event that brings a complicated plot to an unlikely conclusion is still called deus ex machina.
1、We can learn from Paragraph 1 that .
A．the word "thespian" means "debt" in English
B．the Dionysian festival was held once a year
C．there were four actors in early Greek drama
D．the first tragedy was performed in 449B．C
2、From the passage we can know .
A．it was not easy to get a chance to perform in the chorus
B．the best actor and the best playwright would be given money
C．the playwright must play a role in the performance
D．the audience sat very close to actors to have a good view
3、According to the passage,one difference between early Greek comedies and tragedies is .
A．the actors' distance from the audience
B．the play's beginning
C．the number of performers
D．the actors' clothes
4、Deus ex machina is .
A．a kind of tragedy popular with ancient audience
B．a type of character that modern writers often write about
C．a way ancient Greek dramatists used to develop the plot
D．a style of performance first used by ancient Greek actors
