第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
There are plenty of things to do while at home, from watching heartwarming TV to indoor fitness, but if you want to do something with the whole family, a board game is the perfect activity.
Telestrations
It is like a combination of the whisper game Telephone and Pictionary. Players draw a word and pass their sketch to the player next to them, who writes down the word they think the first player draws. The next player draws the word the previous player writes down, and the game continues in this way until the final drawing or description comes out wildly different from the original one. It is most popular among kids.
Catan
A slightly more involved game than Risk or Monopoly, Catan, previouly known as Settlers of Catan or Settlers, has become popular in the past decade or so beyond board game enthusiasts. In the game, which has many expansions
available if you get bored with the original, players become “settlers”, each trying to build up individual settlements while trading resources. The bigger your settlement, the more points, and the first to a set number wins.
Ticket to Ride
It is an easy-to-understand game that is about something as simple as trains. Players use colored train cars that they are able to obtain by collecting cards of the same color to create train routes across a map of the U. S. Expansion packs have many other maps to choose from. Bigger train routes give you more points, as do building the routes shown on the secret ticket cards you draw at the beginning of the game.
Lords of Waterdeep
This board game from the makers of Dungeons Dragons is definitely more complex but is one of the most enjoyable games once you understand all the rules. Beautifully designed in fantasy style, Waterdeep is a “worker placement game”, in which players use agents to gather resources to complete quests, which generate victory points. Whoever has the most at the end of the game wins.
1. In which of the following board games is drawing needed?
A. Telestrations.
B. Catan.
C. Ticket to Ride.
D. Lords of Waterdeep.
2. Who will be the winner in Catan?
A. The one becoming the first settler.
B. The one getting needed points first.
C. The one gathering the most resources.
D. The one creating the most train routes.
3. What do the four board games have in common?
A. They have many expansions.
B. They ask players to get points.
C. They involve more than one player.
D. They are easy to understand and play.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C
【解析】
本文是说明文。文章介绍了在家中全家人可以一起参与的四种棋盘游戏。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Telestrations 部分中的“Players draw a word and pass their sketch to the player next to them, who writes down the word they think the first player draws. The next player draws the word the previous player writes down, and the game continues in this way until the final drawing or description comes out wildly different from the original one.”可知，玩家画出一个单词并将其递给旁边的玩家，后者写下他们认为第一个玩家画出的单词。下一位玩家画出前一位玩家写下的单词，然后游戏以这种方式继续进行，直到最终的作品或说明与原始作品完全不同为止。由此可知，在Telestrations 游戏中，需要玩家将字画出来。故选A 。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Catan 部分中的“the first to a set number wins.”可知，第一个达到确定的分数的人获胜。即首先得到需要的分数的人获胜。故选B 。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but if you want to do something with the whole family, a board game is the perfect activity.”可知，在家中全家人可以一起参与棋盘游戏，它是一个很好的选择。因此，四种棋盘游戏的共同点是它们需要不止一个参与者。故选C 。
B
My brother had, for years, a delightfully tame and lively blue-fronted Amazon parrot named Papagallo, which had an extraordinary talent for speech. Living with us in Altenberg, Papagallo flew just as freely around as most of my other birds. A talking parrot that flies from tree to tree and at the same time says human words, gives a much more comical effect than one that sits in a cage and does the same thing. When Papagallo, with loud cries of “Where’s the Doc?” flew about the district, sometimes in a real search for his master, it was funny.
Still funnier, but also remarkable from a scientific point of view, was the following performance of the bird. Papagallo feared nothing and nobody, with the exception of the chimney sweep. Birds are likely to fear things which are up above. And this tendency is associated with the natural fear of the bird of prey diving down from the heights. So everything that appears against the sky, has for them something of the meaning of “bird of prey”. As the chimney sweep in black stood up on the chimney and became outlined against the sky, Papagallo fell into a panic of fear and
flew, loudly screaming, so far away that we feared he might not come back. Months later, when the chimney sweep came again, Papagallo was sitting on the weathercock, quarrelling with other birds who wanted to sit there too. All at once, I saw him stretch his neck and peer down anxiously into the village street; then he flew up and away, crying out in tough tones, “ The chimney sweep is- coming!”“The chimney sweep is coming! The next moment, the man in black walked through the doorway of the yard !
Unfortunately, I was unable to find out how often Papagallo had seen the chimney sweep before and how often he had heard the excited cry of our cook, which meant his approach. It was, without a doubt, the voice and intonation of this lady that the bird copied. But he had certainly not heard it more than three times at the most and, each time, only once and at an interval of months.
4. It can be inferred that the author_______.
A. might be a bird expert
B. must set a lot of parrots free
C. could talk with Papagallo
D. did have Papagallo look for his brother
5. What does the underlined words “bird of prey” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Bird flying up high.
B.Bird hunting animals.
C. Bird having black feathers.
D. Bird diving down from the sky. 6. What confused the author? A. Why Papagallo feared the chimney sweep. B. What the chimney sweep did to Papagallo. C. How Papagallo had learnt to say the exact sentence. D. How often Papagallo was seen by the chimney sweep. 7. Which of the following best describes Papagallo? A. Gifted B. Caring. C. Shy. D. Talkative. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】本文是说明文。文章讲述了鹦鹉Papagallo害怕烟囱清扫工的原因，以及鹦鹉具有模仿人类语言的能力。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“So everything that appears against the sky, has for them something of the meaning of “bird of prey”所以天空中出现的一切，对它们来说都有"猛禽"的含义。根据最后一段“Unfortunately, I was unable to find out how often Papagallo had seen the chimney sweep before and how often he had heard th e excited cry of our cook, which meant his approach”不幸的是，不幸的是，作者不知道Papagallo 以前有多少次见过烟囱清扫工，以及它有多少次听到我们厨师说这句话。由此可以推断出作者可能是鸟类专家。故选A 。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Papagallo feared nothing and nobody, with the exception of the chimney sweep. Birds are likely to fear things which are up above. And this tendency is associated with the natural fear of the bird of prey diving down from the heights.”可知，Papagallo 除了烟囱清扫工外，什么也不怕。鸟类可能会害怕出现在上空的东西。即鸟类害怕自己被其他ebird of prey 作为猎物抓走，因此它们对于高处的东西产生的恐惧与从高处俯冲下来的食鸟猛禽有着关系。由此可知，划线词意为“狩猎动物的鸟”。故选B 。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The chimney sweep is coming!”及最后一段中的“Unfortunately, I was unable to find out how often Papagallo had seen the chimney sweep before and how often he had heard the excited cry of our cook, which meant his approach. It was, without a doubt, the voice and intonation of this lady that the bird copied. But he had certainly not heard it more than three times at the most and, each time, only once and at an interval of months.”可知，Papagallo 说到“烟囱清扫工即将到来了”。不幸的是，作者不知道Papagallo 以前有多少次见过烟囱清扫工，以及它有多少次听到我们厨师说这句话。毫无疑问，这只鸟模仿了这位女士的声音和语调。但是它肯定最多听不到三遍，每隔几个月才听见一次。因此，使作者感到困惑的是Papagallo 如何学会说出这个确切的句子的。故选C 。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Papagallo, which had an extraordinary talent for speech.”可知，Papagallo 具有非凡的说话才能，即A 项（有天赋的）最适合描述Papagallo 。故选A 。
C
The world of work is changing. Are people ready for the new job outlook? A survey of 15- year-olds across 41 countries by the OECD(经合组织) has found that teenagers may have unrealistic expectations about the kind of work that will be available.
Four of the five most popular choices are traditional professional roles: doctors, teachers, business managers and lawyers. Teenagers cluster around the most popular jobs, with the top ten being chosen by 47% of boys and 53% of girls.
This selection is partly due to wishful thinking on the part of those surveyed. Furthermore, teenagers can hardly be expected to have an in-depth knowledge of labour-market trends. They encounter doctors and teachers in their daily lives. Other popular professions, such as lawyers and police officers, are familiar from films and social media.
Some parts of the OECD survey are disturbing. More boys than girls expect to work in science or engineering. The problem continues in higher education; with the exception of biological and biomedical sciences, degrees in STEM Subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths ) are male-dominated. In America women earn just 35. 5% of undergraduate STEM degrees and 33. 7% of PhDs. Things are even worse in technology. In Britain only one in five computer-science university students is a woman. Women are underrepresented in some important fields of technology; they have only 12% of jobs in cloud computing, for example.
Women play a much bigger role in the health- and social-care sectors. The problem is that some of these jobs are not very well paid. Home-health and personal-care aides had median annual salaries in 2018 of just over 24,000. Some jobs in health care are extremely profitable, of course. But another gender imbalance emerges here: women make up only one-third of American health-care executives. In contrast, they tend to dominate the poorly paid social care workforce.
The biggest problem in the labour market, then, may not be that teenagers are focusing on a few well-known jobs. It could be a mismatch: not enough talented women move into technology and not enough men take jobs in social care. Any economist will recognise this as an inefficient use of resources. Wherever the root of the problem lies---be it the education system, government policy or corporate recruiting practices---it needs to be identified and fixed.
8. Many teenagers would like to choose some traditional jobs because_______.
A. they are ready for these jobs
B. these jobs are better known to them
C. these jobs live up to their expectations
D. they think these jobs are available to them
9. Where do most women work?
A. In engineering
B. In technology.
C. In health care.
D. In business.
10. What would-the author most probably agree with?
A. The mismatch of resources requires improving.
B. Not enough men and women take jobs in society.
C. Teenagers have unrealistic expectations about jobs.
D. It's the education system that causes the problem in the labour market.
11. In which section of a magazine may this text appear ?
A. Entertainment.
B. Education.
C. Science.
D. Career.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。这篇文章讲述的是关于青少年对工作的选择。工作的世界正在发生变化。经合组织(OECD)对41个国家15岁青少年进行的调查发现，青少年可能对未来可获得的工作抱有不切实际的期望。5个最受欢迎的职位中，有4个是传统的职业角色:医生、教师、企业经理和律师。并介绍了性别在工作中的不合理分配，建议改善资源的不合理分配。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中This selection is partly due to wishful thinking on the part of those surveyed. Furthermore, teenagers can hardly be expected to have an in-depth knowledge of labour-market trends. They encounter doctors and teachers in their daily lives. Other popular professions, such as lawyers and police officers, are familiar from films and social media. “这种选择部分是出于被调查者的一厢情愿。此外，很难期望青少年对劳动力市场趋势有深入的了解。他们在日常生活中遇到医生和老师。其他受欢迎的职业，如律师和警察，在电影和社交媒体中很常见。”由此可知，许多青少年喜欢选择一些传统的工作，因为这些工作对他们来说比较熟悉。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第一句Women play a much bigger role in the health- and social-care sectors.“妇女在保健和社会保健部门发挥更大的作用。”由此可知，大多数女性在卫生保健工作。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中It could be a mismatch: not enough talented women move into technology and not enough men take jobs in social care. Any economist will recognise this as an inefficient use of resources. Wherever the root of the problem lies---be it the education system, government policy or corporate recruiting practices---it
needs to be identified and fixed.“这可能是一种错配:没有足够多的有才华的女性进入科技行业，也没有足够多的男性从事社会福利工作。任何经济学家都会承认，这是对资源的低效利用。无论问题的根源在哪里——无论是教育体系、政府政策还是企业招聘实践——都需要找到并解决。”由此判断出，作者最可能同意的是“需要改善资源的不合理分配。”故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段The world of work is changing. Are people ready for the new job outlook? A survey of 15- year-olds across 41 countries by the OECD(经合组织) has found that teenagers may have unrealistic expectations about the kind of work that will be available. “工作的世界正在发生变化。人们对新的工作前景做好准备了吗?经合组织(OECD)对41个国家15岁青少年进行的调查发现，青少年可能对未来可获得的工作抱有不切实际的期望。”和最后一段中Wherever the root of the problem lies---be it the education system, government policy or corporate recruiting practices---it needs to be identified and fixed.“无论问题的根源在哪里——无论是教育体系、政府政策还是企业招聘实践——都需要找到并解决。”由此判断出，短文出自报纸里的职业板块。故选D。
D
The second little pig was unlucky. He built his house from sticks. It was blown away by a huffing, puffing wolf, which quickly ate him up. His brother, by contrast, built a wolf-proof house from bricks. The fairy tale could have been written by someone hired by the building industry, which strongly favours brick, concrete and steel. However, in the real world it would help reduce pollution and slow global warming if more builders copied the wood-loving second pig.
In 2015 world leaders meeting in Paris agreed to move towards zero net greenhouse-gas emissions in the second half of this century. That is a tall order, and the building industry makes it even taller. Cement- making(水泥制造) alone produces 6% of the world 's carbon emissions. Steel, half of which goes into buildings, accounts for another 8%. If you factor in all of the energy that goes into lighting, heating and cooling homes and offices, the world's buildings start to look like a giant environmental problem.
However, buildings can become greener. They can use more recycled steel and can be made in sections that can be put together later in off-site factories, greatly reducing lorry journeys. But no other building material has environmental credentials (证书) as exciting and overlooked as wood.
The energy required to produce a wooden beam is one-sixth of that required for a steel one of comparable strength. As trees take carbon out of the atmosphere when growing,wooden buildings contribute to negative emissions by storing the stuff. When a mature tree is cut down, a new one can be planted to replace it, capturing more carbon. After buildings are torn down, old beams and panels are easy to recycle into new structures. And for
improving older buildings to be more energy efficient, wood is a good insulator(隔热材料). A softwood window frame provides nearly 400 times as much insulation as a plain steel one of the same thickness and over a thousand times as much as an aluminium equivalent.
Wood alone will not bring the environmental cost of the world's buildings into line. But using wood can do much more than is appreciated. The second little pig was not wrong, just before his time.
12. Why is the second little pig with his brother mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To attract readers.
B. To share a story.
C. To support the main idea.
D. To introduce the topic.
13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The world’s buildings are the biggest environmental problem.
B. The goal set by world leaders in Paris in 2015 is difficult to achieve.
C. The wooden house is not only exciting but also overlooked for a long time.
D. The building industry produces 14% of the world's carbon emissions totally.
14. How can buildings become eco-friendly?
A. Restoring them.
B. Planting more trees in them.
C. Recycling old wooden structure.
D. Substituting steel windows for wood ones.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The benefit from wood
B. The building industry
C. The lesson from fairy tales
D. The house made of wood
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章从三只小猪这一经典故事引入，介绍了用木头作为建筑材料的多方面好处。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“The fairy tale could have been written by someone hired by the building industry, which strongly favours brick, concrete and steel. However, in the real world it would help reduce pollution
and slow global warming if more builders copied the wood-loving second pig.”可知，作者用三只小猪的故事就是为了从第二只小猪的木头房子引出本文的主题。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“That is a tall order, and the building industry makes it even taller.”可知，巴黎的领导人会议制定的节能减排目标是一种苛求，也就是很难实现。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“After buildings are torn down, old beams and panels are easy to recycle into new structures.”可知，较为环保的木头建筑，可以在旧屋拆除时，再利用之前的木料才筑造新的房屋结构。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。总览全文，文章从三只小猪的故事引入，指出传统的钢筋混凝土建筑会造成大量碳排放，而木制建筑就环保得多，并介绍了木质房屋的诸多优点，本文的主题其实就是木质房屋。故选D项。
【点睛】细节理解题是阅读理解中最常见的题型，考生需要清楚，文章中心是论点，事实细节就是论据或主要理由，细节理解题就是有关文章细节的问题，常对文中某个词语、句子、段落的细节及事实进行提问，所提问题一般可直接或间接在文章中找到答案。常用且比较稳妥的方法是排除干扰项，细节理解题中的干扰项一般分为范围过大或过小、偷换概念、正误并存等类型，可逐句在文中寻找根据加以甄别。第2小题中，A选项“建筑是世界上最大的环境问题来源”在原文中只是形容为“start to look like a giant environmental problem”，属于夸大了事实；C选项“长久以来木质房屋不仅令人激动而且被人们忽视”在原文中并没有时间上的限制；D选项“建筑业总共制造了全世界碳排放总量的14%”显然只是将水泥和钢铁制造的碳排放占比简单相加，但建筑业包括的远不止这两项。这样也可以通过排除得到正确答案。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you think you got enough sleep this past week? Can you recall the last time you woke up without an alarm clock feeling refreshed, not needing caffeine ? ____16____. Two-thirds of adults throughout all developed nations fail to obtain the recommended eight hours of nightly sleep.
____17____. Routinely, sleeping less than six or seven hours a night destroys your immune system, more than doubling your risk of cancer. Insufficient sleep is a key lifestyle factor determining whether or not you will develop Alzheimer’ s disease. Inadequate sleep, even moderate reductions for just one week, disrupts blood sugar levels so profoundly that you would be classified as pre-diabetic.
Perhaps you have also noticed a desire to eat more when you’re tired? ____18____. Too little sleep increases-
concentrations of a hormone that makes you feel hungry while stopping a companion hormone that otherwise signals food satisfaction. Despite being full, you still want to eat more. It's a proven recipe for weight gain in sleep-deficient adults and children alike. Worse, ____19____, it is in vain, since most of the weight you lose will come from lean body mass(丢脂体重), not fat.
Add the above health consequences up, and a proven link becomes easier to accept: the shorter your sleep, the shorter your life will be. The old maxim “I’ll sleep when I m dead” is therefore unfortunate. Adopt this mindset, and you will be dead sooner and the quality of that (shorter) life will be worse. ____20____.
A. This is no coincidence
B. It is a tragedy to cost you your family
C. If the answers are“no, you are not alone
D. when you push yourself too hard before you go to sleep
E. The rubber band of sleep loss can stretch only so far before it breaks
F. should you attempt to diet but don't get enough sleep while doing so
G. I doubt you are surprised by this fact, but you may be surprised by the consequences
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. A 19. F 20. E
【解析】
这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了睡眠时间的长短会有一定影响，对人体的健康和寿命长短都会影响。
【16题详解】
根据前面的三个问句，以及后文中Two-thirds of adults throughout all developed nations fail to obtain the recommended eight hours of nightly sleep. 在所有发达国家，有三分之二的成年人未能达到每晚8小时的建议睡眠时间。可知，后文是对于观点的解释，C选项中If the answers are “no”, yo u are not alone，如果答案是“不”，你并不孤单。与上文的问题相呼应那个，故选C。
【17题详解】
这是一个过渡句，根据第一段最后一句“在所有发达国家，有三分之二的成年人未能达到每晚8小时的建议睡眠时间”可知，这是一个事实，选项G中“fact”以及句意：我怀疑你对这个事实感到惊讶，但你可能会对其后果感到惊讶。与之对应，同时引起下文,故选G。
【18题详解】
前面一句为问句，“也许你也注意到当你累的时候想吃得更多?”结合后文中“Too little sleep increases- concentrations of a hormone that makes you feel hungry while stopping a companion hormone that otherwise signals
food satisfaction.” “睡眠过少会增加一种荷尔蒙的浓度，这种荷尔蒙会让你感到饥饿，同时也会阻止另一种同伴荷尔蒙分泌，这种荷尔蒙会发出食物满足的信号。” 是对第一句话的解释说明，选项 A This is no coincidence, 这不是一个巧合。连接上下句，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据“Worse”, 更糟糕的是，上文句意：对于睡眠不足的成年人和儿童来说，这是一种已被证实的增重方法。选项F. should you attempt to diet but don't get enough sleep while doing so在减肥的时候尝试节食但没有得到充足的睡眠,与后文it is in vain,相对应，在减肥的时候尝试节食但没有得到充足的睡眠这种做法是徒劳的，故选F。
【20题详解】
总结句。根据最后一段的主要内容，讲述了你的睡眠越短，你的寿命就会越短。选项E. The rubber band of sleep loss can stretch only so far before it breaks. 睡眠不足造成的橡皮筋只能拉伸到一定程度才会断裂。总结整个段落，故选E。

I love to ____34____ with people but I could ____35____ say in English, “How do you do?” “Thank you.” and “Don’t mention it.” When we arrived, my grandfather said, “Oh, Weili, living here is going to be wonderful ____36____you don’t speak much of the language, because Americans are very friendly.” My parents taught us to be ____37____and when I went to school or the supermarket, I would say,
