第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(A)
Those accustomed to browsing through thousands of books in large bookstores may find Japan’s Morioka Shoten a little strange. That’s because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza, Tokyo sells only a single book at a time.
Opened in May 2015, Morioka Shoten is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka. He began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo’s Kanda district before branching out to open his own store. It was here while organizing book reading and signing that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind. Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling multiple copies of just one single book. In November 2014, he partnered with Masamichi Toyama to establish a unique bookstore with the philosophy of “A Single Room with a Single Book”.
The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests. Recent choices include The True Deceiver, an award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson, Hans Andersen’s Fairy Tales, and a collection of Karl Blossfeldt’s photography of plants. Morioka has also selected books written by a famous Japanese author Mimei Ogawa.
To highlight his only offering, Morioka often uses clever tricks. For example, when selling a book about flowers, the storekeeper decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book. He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers. Morioka says his goal is for the customers to experience being inside a book, not just a bookstore.
Risky as the idea might seem, things appear to be going well. The storekeeper says he has sold over 2,100 books. Things can get better given that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors form other countries.
26.What made Morioka decide to open such a bookstore?
A. A Swedish novel.
B. His present partner.
C. A bookstore clerk.
D. His working experience.
27.Why is Morioka Shoten unique?
A. It is popular with foreigners.
B. It sells books of different topics.
C. It is decorated with colorful flowers.
D. It sells various copies of a book in a week.
28.Why does Morioka encourage authors to hold talks?
A. To introduce his bookstore.
B. To tell people about his philosophy.
C. To make books better understood.
D. To help readers make more friends.
29. Which of the following is NOT TURE?
A. Shoten and Toyama opened a bookstore called Morioka Shoten
B. The idea of the bookstore was accepted by many people.
C. Morioka changes the book every week.
D. Morioka uses clever tricks to sell his books.
29.What’s the author’s opinion about the bookstore’s future?
A. Risky.
B. Promising.
C. Unpredictable.
D. Hopeless.

The chief designer of China’s first generation of nuclear submarines（核潜艇）drew people’s attention again recently when he was greeted by President Xi Jinping at a ceremony（典礼）on 21st November, 2017.
To show his respect, President Xi Jinping took him by hand and invited him to sit with him for a group picture at the Great Hall of People in Beijing.
Huang Xuhua, retired director of the Nuclear Submarine Industry Corp, led research and development on the nation’s first nuclear submarines. On December 26, 1970, Long March First, China’s earliest nuclear submar ine prototype, set sail on its first voyage. Huang, aged 44 at the time, set the world record as first chief engineer to be onboard a submarine for its test dive.
Being born in the wartime, he had to struggle for a living from an early age. In the face of great difficulties, he made up his mind to pursue achievement in engineering and shipbuilding. In 1944, he was sent on a recommendation to the department of Aeronautic, Centre College. As the top one student, he was admitted to the Shanghai Jiao Tong University just one year later.
After four-year study in the shipbuilding department, he graduated and started his lifelong career in engineering and shipbuilding. He was ordered to lead the team to work on China’s nuclear submarine in 1958.
As a result of the strict secrecy system, he could not tell anything about his work to his relatives. With Huang and other scientists’ hard work, China’s nuclear submarine grew out of nothing and developed from small to large in a very short time. Because of this, Huang Xuhu a hasn’t gone back to his hometown to visit his parents for just once from 1958 to 1986. He met his 95-year-old mother in 1988 for the first time after 30-year separation. His relatives and the whole country knew nothing about his great contribution until 2013. After his retirement, he still devoted himself to the department of China’s nuclear submarine, bringing up a large number of excellent engineers and scientists who continued his work.
As the father of the China’s nuclear submarine, he cared nothing a bout his own life or the fame. There was no air conditioner in his office. He neither owned a car nor a cellphone.
Recalling the early days working on the nuclear submarine, where they had to start from nothing and sometimes use to abacuses（算盘）to do the calculation, Huang said he’s proud to be Chinese and called on the young to contribute to the country.
“Young people should remember their responsibility, and connect their personal goals with China’s development,” he said.
36.Which of the following words can be best described Huang Xuhua?

B.Positive and cold-blooded.

A.China Shipbuilding Industry Corp’s
B.the team of Huang Xuhua’s
C.Long March First’s
D.Nuclear Submarine Institute’s
38.Why did people consider Huang Xuhua as the father of China’s nuclear
submarine?
A.Because he devoted himself to the development of China’s nuclear submarine.
B.Because he played the leading role in the submarine’s research and
development.
C.Because he cared nothing about his own life or the fame.
D.Because he was the first chief engineer to be onboard a submarine.
39.In what order did the following event take place?

b.Huang Xuhua became the first chief engineer to be onboard a submarine for its
test dive.

Today’s world is full of plastic goods, from water bottles to car parts. We make plastic toys, toothbrushes, and shopping bags. Plastic is so useful that it’s hard to imagine life without it, but it has not been around that long.
The first plastic was invented in 1869. That’s when American John Wesley Hyatt made a form of plastic from a plant material called cellulose. Before long, his discovery was used to make combs, eyeglasses, buttons, and film.
In the 1900s, petroleum products such as oil replace d cellulose. New kinds of plastic were discovered in the 1950s, and that’s when the real boom began. People started to use plastic in many fields instead of the old materials. Plastics quickly replace paper, glass, metal, and wood in a growing number of products. In 1960, the United States made 6 billion pounds of plastic. By 1988, the output had grown to 50 billion pounds. These days, almost 10 percent of the oil America uses every year is turned into plastic. That’s 2 million barrels of oil a day.
Most of the plastic ever made still exists. Unlike wood, metal, and paper, plastic does not break down easily. Some people think plastic will never break down. Others say it may take 500 or 1,000 years. No one knows for sure because it has been around for too short a time. But if George Washington had used plastic water bottles in the 1700s, those bottles would probably still be around.
Althou gh plastic lasts a long time, we don’t keep plastic products very long. We use them and throw them away. Only about 5 percent of plastic is recycled. A huge amount of it ends up floating in the ocean. Then seabirds, seals, turtles, whales and fish eat it. Scientists often find sea animals that have starved（饿）to death with their stomachs full of plastic. And every time it rains, more trash from city streets flushes
into the sea. Much of that trash is plastic.
What can we do about plastic? First, be aware. Oil takes millions of years to form. Should we use up this precious fuel to make flimsy shopping bags that are used once and thrown away? Should any animal pay for our convenience with its life? Each person’s actions can make a difference. It’s time to act n ow.
41.What can we know about plastic?
A.Plastic is now widely used in every area of our daily life.
B.America holds the leading position in the world-wide use of plastic.
C.Plastic can last for more than 300 years and will never break down.
D.About 95% of plastic is used once and then thrown away.
42.Which detail supports the idea that plastic can be dangerous?
A.Animals starve to death after eating plastic.
B.Much of that trash is plastic.
C.About 10 percent of the oil we use every year is made into plastic.
D.John Wesley Hyatt made the first plastic from cellulose.
43.The underlined word “replace” in paragraph 3 means “______”.
A.Take the charge of
B.Increase in value
C.Take the place of
D.Decrease in value
44.What might be written in the following paragraph?
A.Reasons about why we should use less plastic.
B.Criticism on those who make and buy plastic.
C.Tips for using plastic in the environmental friendly way.
D.Difference between using plastic and other materials.
45.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Amazing Plastic.
B.Dangerous Plastic.
eless Plastic.
D.New Plastic.

Imagine you are studying abroad in London. Your parents have sent you a package. You go to the post office and ask the postman when it will arrive. He tells you in “a fortnight”. You walk away shaking your head. 46.______ If you don’t know what it means you have probably been studying American English, which sometimes uses different words from British English. In the US, instead of saying your package will arrive in a “a fortnight”, they would say, in “two weeks”. 47.______ Besides simple differences like spelling, like “colour”in London compared to “color”, in New York, there are even more different words. For example, in Britain you could be driving your car on a “dual carriageway” while in the US you would be driving down a “freeway” or “highway”. 48.______ However, in Britain you would
ask for a “petrol station”. If you got really confused and wanted to call someone for help at a public telephone, you’d still have problems. 49.______ It definitely will get you even more confused.
50.______ You can actually learn a lot from both two languages. It doesn’t matter which English you study, British or American, although people from each country will tell you their language is best. The key though, when writing a paper or sitting an exam, is to pick one and stick with it throughout.
