第二节：阅读理解（每题2分，共计20分）
A
Dangerous as they are, extreme sports remain appealing among many Australian young people! Camp Xtreme is the perfect test of your heart.
Kite Surfing
It’s the exciting mixture of kite, board and waves. The idea of using a kite to accelerate speed seems like a new challenge, yet the art of kite flying dates back to the 13th-century Chinese when it was used as a simple means of transport.
Cat ch a wind and you’re moving-up, down and across the surf. “It’s always exciting. You’d jump 5 feet or 35 feet. You never know if you’re going to go up in the air, and your heart is just going boom, boom, boom.”
Coasteering
It is by far the best activity and the event that everyone is still talking about. This is exploring the coastline without worrying about a coastal path or finding a rocky bay blocking your route. You climb, dive and swim from one place to another. With Coasteering, you don’t have to be a ble to swim as the wet suit and buoyancy(浮力) aid will keep you floating when you are in the water.
Sky Diving
Traditional parachuting(跳伞) doesn’t sound risky enough. So now sky diving is the name for jumping from a plane and listening to your heart beating heavily as you move fast towards earth before you open your parachute at the last moment.
Mountain Biking
It’s been around so long that bikers are no longer satisfied with just going up and down a mountain. Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough land, using specially adapted mountain bikes. Mountain
bikes share similarities with other bikes, but include features designed to improve strength and performance in rough areas.

21. All the four extreme sports are mainly intended to test one’s.
A. heart beat
B. physical health
C. potential strength
D. courage
22. The underlined word in the second paragraph “it” refers to.
A. the kite
B. kite surfing
C. kite flying
D. the art of kites
23. We can infer from the passage that .
A. kites were the main means of transport in China
B. swimming skills play a key role in Coasteering
C. parachuting is the least popular sports at present
D. mountain biking requires more than riding common bikes
B
A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a c rack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cra cking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room,
a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy(美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
24. What did the writer become aware of?
A. She had ever typed a report about seeds.
B. She had various snacks while watching TV.
C. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
D. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
25. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?
A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear.
B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C. The families get together for it.
D. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
26. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is.
A. neutral (中立的)
B. critical(批评的)
C. acceptable
D. doubtful
27. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.
B. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
C. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
C
“Data is the new oil.” Like the sticky black thing, all those 1s and 0s are of little use until they are processed into something more valuable. That something is you.
Five of the world’s ten most valuable companies are built on a foundation of tying data to human beings. Google and Facebook want to find out as much as possible about their users’ interests, activities, friends and family. Amazon ha s a detailed history of consumer behavior. Tencent and Alibaba are the digital wallets for hundreds of millions of Chinese; both know enough about consumers to provide widely used credit scores. Those with a good Zhima credit score, provided by Alibaba, enjoy discounts. Those without receive few offers. In other words, data are used to decide what sort of access people have to services.
That data are valuable is increasingly well-understood by individuals, too, especially because personal information is so often leaked(泄露) or stolen. The list of companies that have suffered some sort of data leak in 2018 alone reads like a roll call of household names: Facebook, Google, British Airways and so on. Such events have caused a switch in the public understanding of data collection. People have started to take notice of all the data they are giving away.
Yet few people have changed their online behavior or exercised what few digital rights they possess. Partly this is because managing your own data is time-consuming and complex. But it is more because of a misunderstanding of what is at risk. “Data” is an abstract concept. Far more solid is the idea of identity. It is only when “data” is understood to mean “people” that individuals will demand responsibility from tho se who seek to know them.
The fossils of past actions fuel future economic and social outcomes. Privacy rules and data-protection regulations are extremely important in protecting the rights of individuals. But the first step towards ensuring the fairness of the new information age is to understand that it is not data that are valuable. It is you.
28. The example of Zhima credit scores is mentioned to show .
A. data help companies target their services
B. credit scores change people’s way of life
C. Alibaba gains popularity among customers
D. people prefer to be offered discounts
29. People don’t protect their data well mainly because .
A. they find it time-consuming and complex
B. they are not fully aware of its importance
C. they have no access to their personal data
D. they are afraid of taking responsibility
30. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To defend companies’ use of data.
B. To show the economic value of data.
C. To call for more regulations to protect data.
D. To advocate a new way of thinking about data.
