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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Graham Moore is the best-selling author of The Sherlockian and the screenwriter of The Imitation Game. His new book The Last Days of Night is out now. He is talking about some of his favorite books.
Murder in Three Acts BY AGATHA CHRISTIE
My mother is a crime fiction（侦探小说）lover and，when I was having trouble learning to read, we’d sit in my bed at home in Chicago and take it in turns to read a paragraph. It was the first book I read cover-to-cover and I later became a writer because of that experience. Not only did it give me a love of crime fiction but, more importantly, it taught me that reading can be a shared experience.
Cryptonomicon
BY NEAL STEPHENSON
This book showed me that historical fiction need not be dry, but can be lively and enjoyable. Stephenson asks readers to take science seriously, but writes the story in a funny way. I’d long known of Alan Turing, but Stephenson’s technique (手法）of describing him was surprising; I saw how a writer can bring a real person to life for modern readers.
A Visit from the Goon Squad BY JENNIFER EGAN
Egan uses a technique that I drew on when writing The Imitation Game. She tells stories from different voices and times, and uses many styles that say to readers, “I’ve done a lot of work, but now you have to join in and work it out for yourselves.”
With my latest book, my greatest hope is that readers will want to get
other people discussing the book. I’ve just started the conversation. 21. What influenced Moore to be a writer?
A. Reading crime fiction in secret. C. Reading a book with his mother. 22. What does Moore think of Cryptonomicon?
A. Boring. C. Imaginative.
B. Serious. D.Humeorous.
B. Having trouble learning to read. D. Writing stories at a young age.
23. What does Egan hope readers will do?
A. Write her some letters. C. Tell their own stories.
B. Think for themselves. D. Ask her some questions. B
One day Kavya and I were playing tennis and the ball went into a man's house. Then we

went to his house and asked if he could give us our ball. He said，“No”. We felt helpless. But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank (水箱）behind the man’s house. I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate ” Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn’t climb in those. “We can get it back tomorrow,” said Kavya.
The next day we went there with Kavya’s brother Vijay. He said，“Shout loudly if you need me” Kavya climbed onto the water tank first and then she climbed down into the man’s house. I followed her. We were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise. It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you.” he said in a low voice.
We hurried out taking the lost ball with us. Along with the ball was a surprise! But we had to leave the house quickly. When we reached Kavya's house, the TV was on. It was news time. I couldn’t believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a gold shop. They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had seen in the man's house.
We told the story to Kavya's mother right away, and she called the police. Soon the police caught the man. They found all the gold bars in his house. A few days later a policeman came to us and said，“Thank you for helping us catch the guy. Here is a bag for all of you ” When we opened it, it was full of storybooks and lovely toys. Standing beside us, Kavya's mother was all smiles.

Why do people buy art? To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of getting a piece of art. An artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your needs, it's worth every penny.
People buy art for many reasons. Many people buy an artwork simply because they like it, even if it is by an unknown artist. Art, as long as you enjoy it, is never a waste of money. Art is for enjoyment. Art is meant to be shown. Don't ever feel pressured into buying something you won't enjoy looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don't buy something that doesn't attract you just because it is trendy, or because the artist is famous, or because you have been advised that the artwork will make a good investment. If you don't like the artwork at all, don't buy it!
C. knew the man very well 27．What can we learn from the story?
A. The day has eyes, the night has ears. C. A bad thing never dies.
