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）Many of us mistakenly believe that it’s wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed (有缺陷)?
If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn’t like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatc h for each other at this particular time.
Don’t take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of
the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.
You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There a re many people who don’t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior (自卑) because you don’t have much money and you don’t drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don’t have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.
The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it’s the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.
1、According to the author plays an important role in making friends.
A．admitting your shortcomings B．self criticism
C．modesty D．confidence
2、If you are not liked by a person, .
A．you should find the reason in yourself
B．you’d better talk with the person face to face
C．you may not be the one to be blamed
D．you and that person misunderstand each other
3、We can learn from the third paragraph that .
A．your good qualities may turn out to be your flaws
B．your weakness may also be your strengths in some way
C．your negative qualities cause a person to reject you
D．you’ll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities
4、Which of the following is true according to the author?
A．It is important to lose weight.
B．It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.
C．Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.
D．If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve your physical beauty.
22．（8分）Good news for coffee and tea drinkers: No more wasting time and energy waiting for the perfect cup.
Using patented Heatworks’ Ohmic Array Technology, the DUO Smart Untethered Carafe (玻璃水瓶) has the power to heat or cool water to the exact degree while you pour. With its functionality, convenience and stylish appearance, the DUO looks like quite the game changer.
So how does it work? The precise temperature control lets you pick the water temperature to the plus/minus one degree. Simply set your temperature, pour water into the tank(fits four cups) at the top and pour into your cup. The carafe features one blue spout(出水口) for filtered (过滤的) cold water and another red spout for hot water, which appears to heat up instantly.
The entire device is battery operated, making it perfect for taking it to the office or really anywhere else. Youwill also be able to plug it in, so the carafe can stay comfortably on your kitchen table or desk to charge for on -the -go use.
The DUO advocate 99 percent energy efficiently and an advanced water filtration system created by heat works CEO Jerry Callahan,who wanted to create a heating system without using metal heating elements. Unsustainable and imperfect metal heating parts have been used for heating for the past 100 years and carry the risk of rusting(生锈). Callahan felt It was time for an upgrade heating systems, and the Ohmic Array Technology was born. Using electrical currents passed through the water itself rather than separate heated elements to transfer heat into the water. Ohmic Array cuts out a whole step in the process.
The DUO is not yet available for purchase, but you can learn more Information and sign up for the release updates on the Heatworks website.

23．（8分）Libraries are doing well in the digital times. Here are some of the most awesome examples.
1. Freiburg University Library, Germany
The original library of the Freiburg University was rebuilt in 2015 following the project of Degelo Architects. The new building has 41,000 square meters and looks like a cut diamond. Inside, there are 1,200 workspaces in four reading rooms plus 500 work areas. The library offers in the basement a system of automated checkout machines and 700,000 volumes that can be borrowed.

The Bima public library is the first of a series of similar microlibraries that are planned to be built across Indonesia.

The building was opened in 2015, five years after the earthquake.

（8分）In 1938 Portugal held a national competition to identify the country's most ''Po rtuguese” Village. Sticking 24．
to a rocky promontory（海角）far above the Beira Baixa plains, Monsanto is easily the most impressive. So it came out on
top.
Cottages, a lot of which are made of very large round rocks, seem to grow out of the mountain itself. Above them rises a stone fortress(城堡), parts of which predate even the arrival of the Moors. And views across the plains are, simply put, astonishing.
Since being honored as the most Portuguese village, Monsanto has reminded largely separated from modernization. These days, goats and chickens seem to outnumber humans in the village. Most young people leave for large cities and the growing investment in the area’s heritage (遗产）has not encouraged more attractions for the younger generation. Tourists walking along the village's tiny streets can see elderly women walking and chatting in doorways.
Several houses near the village entrance are surprisingly grand. Halfway to the castle you'll come across the gruta, a cozy cave apparently once used as a pub …and still us ed as such. This stone fortress seems almost to have grown out of the hillside that supports it. It’s a wonderfully beautiful site, populated by wildflowers.
Alter Dom Sancho I drove out the Moors in the 12th century, the fortress was strengthened. Dom Dinis improved it, but after centuries of attacks from across the border it finally fell into ruin. Just below the entrance is a public square. To the right is a ruined Renaissance church and bell tower.
On 3 May Monsanto comes alive in the Festa das Cruzes, remembering a siege(围困）in the Middle Ages. The story goes that the starving villagers threw their Iasi lonely cow over the walls, making their enemies believe they had plenty of food, because they immediately abandoned the siege. These days, young girls throw baskets of flowers instead, after which there's dancing and singing beside the castle wall.
1、What is Monsanto like today?
A．It has a lot of farms. B．Its youth love farming.
C．Its population is falling. D．It has become more modern.
2、Why did the enemies end the siege?
A．They felt hungry. B．They were tricked.
C．They were attacked. D．They feared the cow.
3、What do we know about the fortress?
A．It has long been used as a pub.
B．It was first constructed by Dom Dinis.
C．There is celebration every May beside it.
D．Y ou have to go through it to enter the village.
4、What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A．To discuss rural life in Portugal.
B．To report a national competition.
C．To explain the history of the Portugal.
D．To introduce a unique ancient village.

29、Dear Rick,
How is everything going? I had a five-day trip to London this summer vocation. I would like to express my gratitude for your hospitality and kindness when I was in London.
Knowing that you take a great fancy to Chinese culture, especially the Dragon Boat Festival, I would love to introduce it to you. The Dragon Boat Festival,one of the most traditional festivals in China, falls on the May 5th in the lunar calendar. People celebrate this festival in memory of Qu Yuan, who was a Chinese poet. Besides, people in China will also hold a variety of activities to honor him, such as dragon boat racing、eating zongzi and so on.
Welcome to China, You will have an unforgettable experience if you come to China before this festival.
Best wishes,
Your sincerely,
Li Hua。
