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）We human beings need to stay in touch with nature-many studies show how much better people feel when in sight of trees. Yet even more importantly，nature itself needs us to stay in touch. Many politicians and scientists have told us that we can "conquer" nature，but in reality nature will always be beyond our control---we do have the power to destroy it. The fate of all the animals and their habitats depends largely on our attitude towards them. Whether or not we ourselves survive depends on how well we look after the rest. For our sake as well as theirs，we need to consider it seriously.
But how can we care at all if we spend our lives indoors？Born in South London at the end of the Second World War，at least I knew what a sparrow was（they're rare now）and you couldn't put a spade into our tiny garden without cutting a worm in half. We knew，too，that milk comes from cows and that old men can grow amazing carrots on poor land. Ultra-urban（极度城市化）as we may have been，at least we were in touch.
"Now we have a generation who frankly are not in touch. So how can they care if the countryside is sold off to the highest bidders，and used to park helicopters，and our crops come free from Monsanto and our livestock live in factories？They will know no other way.
But if we settle for the ultra-urban life，if we allow all wilderness to be compromised and hand our farming over to industrial chemists then，quite simply，the world will fall apart--as it has been doing already. We have to rethink what agriculture is really for，and why conservation matters to us，as well as to other creatures. Changes of strategies begin with attitude and attitude begins with awareness.
1、Which of the following opinions will the author be for？
A．Technology will help humans control nature completely.
B．Conquering nature is the policy of human society.
C．Humans have to find a way to live in harmony with nature.
D．We will lose control of nature with the development of society.
2、The second paragraph is intended to tell us that city people in the past_____. A．were in close touch with nature
B．managed to survive in the war
C．killed the worms in the earth cruelly
D．had a healthier diet than us
3、The new generation show no concern about the ultra-urban pattern just because
_______
A．modern agriculture doesn't need hard work
B．high profits can be made by selling city land
C．they are cut off from nature
D．livestock living in factories are tastier
4、From the passage we can guess that Monsanto is likely to be____________
A．a chemical fertilizer plant
B．a scientist good at farming
C．a construction corporation
D．a big agricultural company
5、Towards the end of the passage，the author reminds us to_____________ A．move to the countryside
B．reflect on our past behaviors
C．leave space for wild animals
D．tum farms into big factories
22．（8分）When you eat out in a restaurant, it is not unusual to hear people yelling, “Let me get this one!” and sometimes see them pushing or arm wrestling to fight for the privilege of paying the bill.
These fights are often very loud and active. Each person involved shows an honest desire to pick up the bill, and in the end, all the people at the table give the winner praise and gratitude.
In fact, figuring out who will get the bill is always a headache for Chinese people at formal meals. Although the people hosting the meal are very likely to pay the check, it is a common practice to make a token (象征性的) effort to pay the bill, but you will embarrass them if you do end up actually chipping in (凑) some cash.
In recent years, going Dutch has been accepted by many young people. But older generations who fear “losing face” still find it embarrassing and mean to calculate each person’s share of the bill. As travel guide brand Lonely Planet noted, it is considered.
“the height of unsophistication (不懂人情世故)”。

But these days, thanks to digital payment apps, splitting the bill electronically is becoming a widely-accepted idea. Even people from older generations would like to do so.
By scanning a QR code and paying their share via social networking tool WeChat and e-commerce app Alipay on their smart phones in one easy click, urban Chinese are finding it easier to save them the embarrassment of figuring out each person’s payment when they order a meal.
“This function has made going Dutch less trouble and more fun in China”, CNN noted.
“Because of their convenience, many of us are never without our phones. And person-to-person mobile payment services are incredibly easy to use and save the trouble of dealing with change,” said an 18-year-old student in China.
“You can a lso leave funny notes using emoji (表情符号) like a bowl of rice or a cup of tea to describe a meal that you have shared.”
1、What is the passage mainly about?
A．The Chinese tradition of dining out with friends.
B．A new trend of splitting the bill in China.
C．How social networking tools have influenced our daily lives.
D．Why people in China argue over who pays the bill when dining out.
2、Splitting the bill at formal meals was considered to be a(an) ______ task.
A．hard B．easy
C．exciting D．funny
3、Many Chinese people make a token effort to pay the bill because ______.
A．they don’t want to be considered unsophisticated
B．they want praise and gratitude from their friends
C．they consider it an honor to host the meal and pay the bill
D．they find it hard to work out how much each person needs to pay
4、The underlined phrase “going Dutch” (in Paragraph 4) probably means ______. A．figuring out the total payment
B．taking turns to pay the bill
C．fighting for the privilege of paying the bill
D．each person paying their own expenses
5、According to the passage, which is NOT the advantage of using digital payment apps to split the bill?
A．They’re easier to use and more interesting.
B．They save the trouble of dealing with change.
C．They make it easier to figure out how much money each person has to pay. D．They make people less embarrassed to split the bill.
23．（8分）During World War I the Red Cross set up a program for people to send letters to soldiers in Europe so they would never be lonely.

He would look like countless other soldiers so he told her he would hold a bouquet of carnations（康乃馨）and she said she would be carrying a particular book. If their love was real they could meet.
At the station he was eagerly searching for the book in the hands of every woman he met. Shortly after, a short, plain and overweight woman appeared carrying a book. He knew it was her. His excitement for meeting the love of his life dashed away. But he put a big smile on his face and called her name. She smiled and came over to him. He bent to kiss her cheek, but she pushed him off. Instead she handed him the book and walked off. Confused, he suddenly turned around and a beautiful woman was standing and smiling before him.
“I had to be sure, “she said to him, “if you were the man of personality I dreamed about. And you are.” And she came into his arms and they kissed for the first time under the big clock in the center of Grand Central Station.

24．
（8分）Sure, chocolate is a delicious treat, and it’s a staple of some of our favorite desserts. But it’s not a health food, so it shou ld be enjoyed in moderation-right?
Well, it turns out that eating chocolate might actually have a pretty significant health benefit. According to research conducted by five scientists in Italy, compounds found in chocolate, called flavanols, can help boost cognitive (认知的) performance. Yup, chocolate’s good for your brain.
The scientists, studying at the Universities of Rome and L’Aquila, summarized research from ten different studies. The studies assessed people’s performance on cognitive tests before and after eating cocoa or chocolate. The results were pretty telling: in nine out of the ten studies, there was a noticeable improvement after the subjects had eaten the chocolate. The scientists found improvements in “general cognition, attention, processing s peed and working memory.” Sounds pretty good to us!
And that’s not all. In subjects, especially women, who performed the tests while sleep-deprived, the flavanols helped relieve the negative effects of the sleep deprivation. And there’s even more good news. The researchers also found that eating chocolate
daily (over periods ranging from five days to three months) produced noticeable
long-term improvements in cognition. Older adults, whose memories were already declining, saw an especially significant improvement.
All chocolate has flavanols, since they occur naturally in cocoa. However, dark chocolate lovers feel happy, because it has more flavanols than any other type of
chocolate. In fact, the scientists themselves have claimed that, after doing this research, they’ve started eating dark chocolate every day!
Now, we’re not saying you should start eating chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner - it’s still high in sugar and low in nutrients. But next time you find yourself yawning after a sleepless night, snack on some chocolate and let the flavanols work their magic.
1、What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．As much as possible. B．For three meals.
C．In right amount. D．Not in the least.
2、How does a student perform while learning after eating chocolate?
A．He memorizes less than before.
B．He can’t concentrate on lessons in the slightest.
C．He becomes more excited.
D．He understands what the teacher says faster.
3、According to the passage, if your memory fails, what should you do?
A．Eat chocolate as three meals. B．Use chocolate as a daily snack.
C．Hunt for dark chocolate. D．Ask a doctor for advice.
4、What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Chocolate is a beneficial but unhealthy food.
B．Eating chocolate benefits our learning.
C．Eating chocolate works on your sleep.
D．Chocolate contains low nutrients.
25．（10分）We all know the hard work that filmmakers and actors put in to provide us with entertainment, but it seems that even regular moviegoers like us have a big impact on how a movie turns out too. For decades now, film studios have used
so-called test screenings to get feedback from members of the public before a movie comes out. While test audience members are usually asked to fill in a questionnaire after a screening, telli ng the film studio what they liked and didn’t like, media giant Disney has come up with a more high-tech solution.
According to a paper published this summer by the company’s researchers, Disney is measuring test audiences’ reactions by using special camer as placed inside cinemas. Pairing the cameras with custom software, the company can track what each audience
member is feeling at any point in the movie, from anger to joy. This works by mapping 68 different points on each audience member’s face. The camer as can see in the dark, and the software can figure out a person’s mood based on the slightest of facial expressions.
It’s hoped that this new method will allow more detailed feedback from test audiences. Rather than relying on audience members to recall their feelings after the movie’s over, it can accurately read their reactions in real-time.
Test screenings are highly valued in the movie industry, and several well-known movies have been greatly altered following feedback. Viewers of E.T., the
Extra-Terrestrial (1982), would have left the cinema feeling a whole lot differently if it weren’t for its test audience’s feedback. “In one cut of the film that was tested, E.T. died instead of going home in his spaceship. You won’t be surprised to hear that the tes t audience in question didn’t warm to this ending at all,” wrote media website Den of Geek.
But for those who are concerned about privacy, the cameras won’t be installed in public cinemas. After all, unless you’re part of a test audience, being in front of the camera is best left to the movie stars.
1、Why are test screenings necessary?
A．To amuse us.
B．To influence a movie.
C．To get reactions of the audience.
D．To spy on the audience.
2、How does the high-tech method work?
A．Audiences recall their detailed feelings.
B．The cameras can read accurate feedback from the audience.
C．The company can track each audience member.
D．The company are measuring audience’s reactions.
3、What do we know about E.T?
A．It doesn’t warm the audience.
B．It altered audience’s feedb ack.
C．The original ending is different.
D．E.T died in his spaceship.
4、What can we infer from the passage?
A．People worry about privacy.
B．The cameras won’t be put in public cinemas.
C．The technology of test screenings is reliable.
D．You can be in front of the camera.

29、Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m writing to make a complaint. I purchased two English novels from your website last month. I’m sorry to inform you that one of the books fell short of my expectations. The parcel was almost torn open when it arrived. One book’s cover was severely misshapen due to the long journey from the US to China. To my greater disappointment, a couple of pages inside the book have gone missing and the pictures the book contains are so blurry that I can’t even work out the message the author is trying to convey through them. I demand the money I paid for the book be fully refunded .
Your prompt response will be highly appreciative.
Y ours sincerely,
Li Hua。
