第三部分： 阅读理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Last summer I was lucky enough to participate in a volunteer adventure to Kenya, in association with Virgin Atlantic’s Be the Change programme and children’s charity, Free the Children. The moment I read the e-mail saying that I had been accepted into Free the Children’s Virgin Atlantic scholarship trip to Kenya, I had no idea how much it was going to change my life. I thought the trip would be a great way to learn about life in one of the most rural areas of Kenya, but I never thought about how deeply I might be affected by this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

When we entered the Masai Mara, the first thing that struck me was how unbelievably beautiful it was. As I looked closer to it, I realized there was something even more beautiful: the people. I have never been to a place where the saying “the people are what make the place” was more true.

The way they wave at you excitedly as you drive past, shouting “Jambo, Jambo!” is something that I have never experienced. They are always smiling and welcoming and it made me realize that, if everyone were to act like this, the world would be a much happier place.

The most amazing thing about the trip was that we weren’t treated like tourists for one second. We were able to experience every little detail. We built foundations, carried ten litres of water…

The one thing I will never forget is visiting Emorijoi Primary School. Let me describe it like this: As soon as you entered into the gate, you would hear someone shouting your name. Then you looked around and realized that it was the same little girl that you were playing football with the last time you visited.

There are literally no words to explain how much I miss Kenya. It feels like there is a piece of string attaching me to everyone that I met there. They will stay with me forever and always be in my heart.

56. When the author was informed she was in the volunteer adventure, .

1. she didn’t think much of it B. she pretended to be excited
   C. she became proud of herselfD. she hoped to learn more about Kenya
   57. What made the Masai Mara much more beautiful? _____.
   1. The local peopleB. The scenery
      C. The lovely childrenD. The primary school
      58. According to the passage, “Jambo” is actually a way for the local people to_____.
      A. say thanks to the visitorsB. praise the beautiful visitors
      C. greet the visitorsD. express their happiness
      59. Which word can best describe the author’s feeling of the adventure?
      1. CalmB. UnexpectedC. UpsetD. Threatened
         B
         If you walk around any large city, you’ll find a coffee shop on every corner. Many shops offer comfortable sofas, large screen televisions and sometimes even live music. More and more teenagers are hanging out there. My pre-teen has already done so after school once a month, but she always orders fruit juice. I think she would drink coffee sooner or later, so I started doing some research online.
         I found that coffee in moderation (适度) could be safe, but one thing that was constant online was the chance of becoming addicted to coffee. Coffee is one step up from soda but still not as dangerous as energy drinks or alcohol. Still, any addiction is hard to break, so I needed to come up with a plan that would protect my child.
         Coffee shops offer a safe place for teenagers to hang out. As like anything else you let your children do, you need to set limits. Drinking coffee while socializing once or twice a week won’t cause a severe caffeine addiction. However, you should avoid allowing a cup of coffee every morning and ensure they get adequate sleep each night, which will make them less likely to feel the need to drink coffee.
         As parents, we have responsibility to set a good example. If you’re addicted to caffeine, it’s time to start monitoring your intake. If you drink much water and keep healthier drink options in your fridge and at your dinner table, your teenager will follow you. I drink much water and so do both my children. My kids learn more from watching me do things than they will ever learn from my verbal teaching.
         As a mother, I’m ready to allow my child to try coffee and we’ll talk about it and discuss the pros and cons of consuming this. I feel open communication is vital in helping them make good decisions. Although the decision to drink coffee doesn’t pose the same dangers as underage drinking, it still deserves a thoughtful conversation.
         60. The author began to do research on coffee in order to _____
         A. offer some good advice to coffee shops
         B. guide her daughter to drink coffee properly
         C. stop her daughter hanging out in coffee shops
         D. let her daughter believe that fruit juice is healthy
         61. According to the passage, if teenagers have enough sleep, they_____
         A. won’t ache for coffee that much
         B. won’t hang out in coffee shops
         C. won’t drink coffee forever
         D. will drink water instead of coffee
         62. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 imply?
         A. The author’s children don’t like to talk with her.
         B. The author thinks a good example functions better.
         C. The author is living in harmony with her children.
         D. The author doesn’t want her children to learn from her.
         63. Which of the following statements agrees with the author’s opinion according to the passage?
         A. Teenagers should be stopped from entering coffee shops.
         B. Coffee shops should not offer many options to teenagers.
         C. Teenagers’ activities in coffee shops should be limited strictly.
         D. Parents should not force their children to stop drinking coffee.
         C
         Our world is full of tourist traps and crowds of people. What if you could get out ahead of the crowded people and visit a place before it started swarming with crowds of people?
         José lgnacio, Uruguay
         Only about 300 people actually live here, but in winter, Latin famous stars like Shakira gather here. A new luxury hotel named Bahia Vik is in the process of opening, and JoséIgnacio is preparing to host an international art festival. You can enjoy art atmosphere here and eat steaks at La Huella restaurant.
         Koh Rong, Cambodia
         Visiting this Cambodian island is like stepping into a screen saver. With only a few houses and some fishing villages, many people say it’s like Thailand 20 years ago when tourists landed the untouched beaches. Ferries started regularly shuttling tourists to Koh Rong only a few years ago, but things are still pretty quiet until someone plans to build an airport.
         Riga, Latvia
         Latvia is Europe’s best kept secret, but all has changed now since Riga was named the European Capital of Culture in 2014. The city also ranked as Europe’s cheapest destination for backpackers this year, with an average cost of just $33 per day for food, lodging, transportation and entertainment. Hurry up and peruse (研读) Old Riga and St. Peter’s tower, and get fancy at the Latvian National Opera.
         Puglia, Italy
         With food travel on the rise, Puglia is becoming a household name.

         C. Riga, Latvia.D. Puglia, Italy.

         B. Its food price is rising rapidly.
         C. It has the most delicious food in Italy.
         D. It has a luxury hotel named Bahia Vik.

         Every year seals would crowd ashore in Farne Island and give birth to their pups. Between early October and early December, 1,500 seal pups will be born. Almost half of them will not make it past the first three weeks of life.
         “The pups have to stay out of the water for the first three weeks, when they have their white coat, which is not very waterproof,” explains the warden (监察员)，who spends nine months on the Island.
         “But when you’re born in November on a rock in the North Sea, it’s a tough start to life,” he said. Storms often wash young pups into the water. And occasionally, young, inexperienced mothers abandon their pups and head out to sea.
         “We lost 41% last year,” said David Steel, the National Trust’s head warden on the Farne Islands. “Mother Nature certainly keeps them in check.”
         Despite the early challenges for every newborn seal, the population is healthily and slowly and steadily growing. There are almost 4,000 seals on a set of islands, which is named a Special Area of Conservation(SAC), meaning it is protected under EU regulations. This successful human safeguarding of the seals’ habitat is huge turnaround(转机).
         Just a few decades ago, the seal population was deliberately decimated.The animals used to be thought of as a threat to local fish stocks. During the late 1960s and 1970s, thousands of seals were shot in a cull(剔除)that aimed to protect the local fishing industry. According to the National Trust, between 1962 and 1983 approximately 2,000 adult females and 3,000 pups were shot.
         But, as the fishing industry collapsed, it was gradually replaced by tourism. Today, several companies use fishing boats to take groups of people to visit the islands and admire the scenery, seabirds and, of course, the seals that make their homes in this bleakly beautiful place.
         68. In the first three weeks after they were born, almost half of the seal pups _______.
         A. would be abandoned by their mothers
         B. would be protected by the wardens
         C. couldn’t live independently
         D. would die mostly in the sea water.
         69. According to David Steel, death of so many pups________.
         A. is a normal and natural phenomenon
         B. is mainly caused by farmers’ killing
         C. can be prevented efficiently by man
         D. will be controlled by Mother Nature
         70. The underlined word “decimate” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “____”.
         1. increaseB. kill C. reduceD. control

71. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. The Beautiful Farne Island

B. A Tough Beginning

C. How to Protect Grey Seals

D. Tourism or Fishing Industry

E

On a clear night, the sky is a wonderful thing. Is there life out there somewhere? Is there another place like Earth where life might exist? If so, where is it? And how far away is it?

Recently, the Kepler spacecraft found “22b”, a planet about six hundred light years away. It is the first planet in a “habitable zone” outside the solar system. That means the planet orbits(环绕) a star like our sun, but it is not too close to it, nor too far away. Because of this position, Kepler-22b might have water, one of the main things needed for life. The newly-discovered planet is about two and a half times larger than the Earth. It is closer to its star than we are to the Sun, but 22b’s sun is smaller than ours, and doesn’t produce as much heat. Scientific instruments show the new planet could be made of gases, rocks or some kinds of liquids.

The Kepler spacecraft was named in honor of Johannes Kepler, the seventeenth century German astronomer. It was designed to examine a small part of the Milky Way galaxy(星系)and search for places like the Earth. It was made to inspect over 150,000 stars and measure how bright they are. It looks to see if a star’s brightness gets less over a short time.

If a planet passes between Kepler and the star, it blocks out part of the light. That is what suggested to scientists that there is at least one planet orbiting the star. The instruments on Kepler show the new planet as a small, black dot moving across its sun. An important part of the Kepler experiment is on the Earth. After the spacecraft gathers information, scientists use the telescopes on the ground.

Scientists have found over 2,300 new planets since Kepler was launched. Most are much larger, but it is the new planet’s distance from its star that is important. For life to possibly exist there, the planet’s temperature must not be too hot or too cold.

72. What can we learn about Kepler-22b?

A. Water must have existed on it.

B. It takes humans about 600 years to get there.

C. It is made of gases, rocks and plenty of liquids.

D. It is the first planet in outer space where life may survive

73. The Kepler spacecraft was sent into space to

A. show honor to Johannes Kepler

B. observe the changes of a star’s brightness

C. look for Earth-like planets in the Milky Way galaxy

D. measure the brightest star among 150.000 stars

74. In Paragraph 4 the author mainly tells us

A. how the Kepler system works

B. if the Kepler system sees a new planet

C. how the Kepler system shows a new planet

D. why an important part of the Kepler system remains on the Earth

75. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Life may exist on the new planet in another form.

B. It is colder on the new planet because its sun is smaller.

C. Life can’t exist on planets which are much larger than the Earth.

D. The new planet’s distance from its star decides on the possibility of life existence.

Woodkopf is a crazy new sport invented in the Czech Republic(捷克共和国) and it has been gaining quite a lot of national media attention. This popular sport involves a pair of opponents wearing two-meter wooden boards on their heads and trying to knock the other’s board down without dropping their own. Strange as it sounds, a rousing match of Woodkopf can be quite exciting to watch.

This crazy sport can be traced back to July, 1992, when it was practiced during a cultural festival of art school graduates in Prague. Woodkopf, which literally translates as “wooden head”, is popular partly due to the fact that the game is simple, inexpensive and requires no complex equipment, but also because it never fails to supply a good dose of humor.

It is played by both men or women of all ages, and the rules are pretty simple. Both opponents must wear long and thin wooden boards of 200×16×2cm, weighing between 3 and 4kg. Once the boards are in position, the opponents try to knock each other’s boards off, using only plank-to-plank(木板) touches. No body-to-body or plank-to-body touches are allowed. The player who manages to knock down the opponent’s board twice in a row is declared the winner.

According to members of the Woodkopf Union, the best players are generally the taller ones. A bald head is also of great advantage, as pointed out by union chief Ivan Rezac.

Veteran Woodkopf players are now struggling for the sport to be included in the Olympic Games. They strongly believe that it has a great future. Vladimir Cech, who has been playing for the past seven years, said,“We want it to become our national sport, and a part of Czech culture along with beer, pork, dumplings and cabbage.”.

We are glad to see that 70％of the students approve of doing voluntary work．In their opinion, it can make a contribution to society and at the same time, it brings a lot of personal benefits. They can gain valuable experience and skills for future career. What’s more, voluntary work opens up vast quantities of opportunities for them to build confidence, self-awareness, good communication skills and leadership.

However, 25% of the students disapprove of doing voluntary work. They consider that working without payment is a waste of time．5％ of the students don’t care about it at all.

In my opinion, we’d better take the chance to participate in voluntary work, no matter how small it is.
