Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.

Passage One

Scientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far out in our solar system. In a statement, the California Institute of Technology—Caltech—said this planet travels a very strange “long and thin orbit in the distant solar system.” The discovery was made by two researchers at Caltech: Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical modeling and computer simulations( 模 拟 ) to find the planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet.

“My jaw hit the floor,” said astronomer(宇航员) Mike Brown, the moment he realized there might be a ninth planet.

The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20,000 years just to make one full orbit around the sun. The new planet, called “Planet Nine”, has a mass about 10 times the size of Earth. If they are right, the newly found planet would be the ninth planet in our solar system. Pluto(冥王星) had been called the ninth planet until 2006, when it was renamed a “dwarf planet.”

Actual confirmation of a ninth planet would be very big news. “This would be a real ninth planet,” Brown said in the statement. “There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient times, and this would be a third. It's a pretty substantial chunk of our solar system that's still out there to be found, which is pretty exciting.”

While they did not get a picture of “Planet Nine” yet, the scientists say they are using the biggest—and best—telescopes on Earth to try to find “Planet Nine.” They are also working on improving their computer simulations. They want to find out more about “Planet Nine’s” orbit, and its impact on the outer part of our solar system.

16. The newly-found planet . A. moves around the Sun

B. was discovered by two astronomers C. travels a round orbit

D. is far away from our solar system

4

17. The possibility of finding a ninth planet made Mike Brown A. confused B. frightened C. satisfied D. surprised

.

18. According to the scientists, A. the planet is ten times larger than the Earth

B. it takes the planet less than 10,000 years to make a full orbit C. Pluto was once thought to be the ninth planet in the solar system D. Pluto was given a new name after it was discovered in 2006

19. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that . A. there is no actual confirmation about the ninth planet B. no true planets were discovered in ancient times C. scientists have found three planets in modern times

D. the ninth planet is the only one discovered since ancient times

20. To find “Planet Nine”, scientists are using all the following EXCEPT A. mathematical modeling B. computer simulations C. advanced telescopes D. large spacecrafts

.

Passage Two

“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are over- protective and do too much. The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s. It describes parents who hover( 悬 停 ) over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.

Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adull. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style.

“Over-parenting”, she says, “comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who think the world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable. And therefore, I must protect and prevent. The second type is the over-directive type—the parent who says, I know best what leads to success and you will do as I say. You’ll study these topics, do these activies and you will be highly achieving at all of it. The third type is the concierge(看门人)—the parent who just wants to make life smoother—from waking their kid up, to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven't forgotten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid.”

Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves.

“They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have them make the choice about something.” Often times, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those parents

5

that their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.

21. The term “helicopter parenting” . A. describes parents who give children directions in the air B. was probably invented in the late nineteenth century C. gains more meaning as modern technology develops D. refers to parents who concern too much about kids

22. According to Lythcott-Haims, over-parenting has all the following features EXCEPT A. over-directive C. over-preventive

B. over-dependent D. over-protective

.

23. It can be inferred that a concierge mother will A. regard the world as very dangerous B. allow children to do whatever they like C. keep a close eye on the kid’s assignment D. let the kid alone when he falls on the ground

.

24. In Julie’s eyes, the first-year students at Stanford University are A. very clever in studying B. really good at problem-solving C. unable to communicate with teachers D. having problems making friends

.

25. Lythcott-Haims’ attitude towards helicopter parenting is A. supportive C. uninterested

B. negative D. unclear

.

Passage Three

I recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, this

6

was a green festival!

From the food to the stalls(货摊), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. Not only was the majority of the furniture/stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in specially labeled dustbins which, after the festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that attendants were not encouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.

I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting. Having never been to a music festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic fruit juice. There were many stalls, art installations, and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly!

This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that does not cause great damage to the environment. I have since discovered that there are more events similar to this across the globe, which is great! I can’t imagine how much waste has been produced from such public events as festivals across the years before we realised just how bad they were for the environment!

26. Which of the following can be the title of the passage? A. We Love Green C. Music Festivals

B. We Love Environment D. A Unique Public Event

27. What is special about the music festival? A. It has a special band. C. It is held every weekend.

B. It has a unique program list. D. It is environmentally friendly.

28. At the music festival, guests were encouraged to A. make furniture from wood B. bring plastic-bottled drinks C. recycle rubbish by themselves D. drink free fresh water

.

29. According to Paragraph 3, the author A. fully enjoyed the festival

. B. expected muh from the festival

7

C. found the event very funny D. liked listening to music at home

30. The purpose of this passage is to A. raise funds for environment protection B. highlight that being green can be fun C. encourage people to go to music festivals D. introduce the author's favourite musicians

.

Passage Four

Chokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洞). The eighth- grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city,” said Chokwe. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.

Chokwe developed the app with his friends, “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red,” Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.” Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.

The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “It works by using the city’s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,” Chokwe says. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems—which include potholes. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the app, they also went street by street throughout the city. They determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test it.

Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until it’s nationwide,” Chokwe says.

31. Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from A. his own experience C. his friends

. B. a recent news report D. his mother

8

32. When you are close to a pothole, your phone will warn you with A. a voice report C. a beeping sound

B. a red light D. a map image

.

33. Drivers can also use Chokwe’s app to A. report emergency traffic problems B. look for information other than potholes C. choose safer routes without potholes D. avoid traffic jam caused by potholes

.

34. To develop the app, Chokwe and his friends A. reported potholes to 311 call system B. conducted field trips on the streets C. built their own information database D. collected samples in their neighborhood

.

35. We can learn from the last paragraph that Chokwe A. is quite successful C. has regained hope

. B. is facing difficulties D. has a great ambition

Passage Three

Be f ore the grass has thickened on the roadsides and leaves have started growing on the trees is a perfect ti1ne to look around and see just how di:r;ty Britain .has becom·e . The pave-ments are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast food packets. Years ago I remember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags and discarded bottles. No,vadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone ,vrang?

The problem is that the rubbish created bY our 1ncreas1ngly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away,·1t stays 1n the undergtowth (下 层灌木） for years.

It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1 , 000 years to rot. I·Iowever, 1t 1s not as if there:· is no, so l'ution?.t!J 出 is . A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recy.,c la ble car ri F bags and 切 - three months reduced their use by 90 % . When he w, as a minister ,, MicJ1ael Meat het .attempted

that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people be- have cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by rubbish, they behave like ru bbis h. Now , much of Britain looks pretty dirty. What will it look like in five years? , \\I·1 11 ．．

．Those who work in the Netherlands often feel that a lot of time is wasted in discussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents, an agenda and a chairman. All tliose prresent will have their say, after which their remarks are discussed.

He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to, will find :i t unwise.· T he interacting that takes place during a meeting is very important for the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is suffi- ciennx itnpof t·arit , or that he_ apparently does not take his colleagues seriously. Furthermore , he mig.h t miss some of the essential information that J)lay become evident during the meeting.

．

Those who are present sho,v an interest in the problems of their colleagues. They supply ques tions, rather than commands, and thus declare themselves \The Dutch, in their final conclusions, like to use such metaphors as \pointing in the same direction again.\

If you present a decision, you will find that everyone has something to say about it and

has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present something as the only correct solution. The advantage to this approach is that such a meeting will often lead to genu- ine suggest ons for improvement on certain aspects of a plan. As a result, the plan will be a joint approach.

This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps _colleagues become a team. Th amount of tin1e that is lost around the table is more than what made up for inefficiency, once ever yo ne goes back to work.

A. People are constantly in dispute.

B. An idea usually undergoes a full discussion.

C. Suggestions often lead nowhere.

D. People often forget the aims of meetings. 34. What does the last paragraph tell us?

他注意到与不同技能的人一起工作的重要性。“我们中有来自于传统研究背景的人 ．包括 些从事社会科学、经济学的人员，还包括含有技术背景及销售方面的人员，\ Dailly 说。

像Dai lyl 所 在的这样的公司还聘请了应届大学毕业生。这个行业得益于这些年轻男女的

价值。

“我们已经进人人们的头脑里面的核心信息，\Dailly 说。他们告诉你人们将要做什么，而不是他们做了什么。这有助于人们提前采取适当的行动。这使得它对战略更有用。”

30. [ 参考答案】 A

[ 答案详解］ 主旨题。此题问写作目的，其实是考察对全文主旨的了解。文章第一段提 出 问题 英国到处很脏，为什么？第二段提出主要原因：生活中的垃圾处理不当。第三段提到具体原因：塑料袋被广泛滥用；解决方法遭到抗议。第四段呼吁不论个人还是集体，要联 合 起

问题是我们日益流动的生活所造成的垃圾比以前持续地更长久。如果不清理和适当处理，它会停留在下层灌木很多年。

据估计，我们向顾客提供了 100 亿个塑料袋。这将需要 100 到 1000 年的时间来处理这些塑料袋。然而这并不是解决不了的问题。几年前，爱尔兰政府对不可回收的购物袋收税，三

现在显然需要的是一种联合行动，不管是个人还是集体，在为时已晚之前。另一种选择是 继续走下坡路，直到我们看到一个像巨大垃圾场一样的国家。我们可能正处在临界点。然而， 我们知道人们对环境的反应。如果他们周围的事物都是干净整洁的，人们就表现得干净整洁。 如果人们被垃圾包围，他们的行为就会像垃圾一样。现在，英国的大部分地方看起来很脏。五 年后会是什么样子？

交流是非常重要的。不去开会说明他认为这个问题不够重要，或者很明显他没有认真对待他的同事。此外，他可能错过了会议期间可能出现的一些重要信息。在场的人对他们同事的问题表现出兴趣。他们提出问题，而不是命令，从而宣布自己“共同负责＂。在最后的结论中，荷兰人喜欢用这样的比喻：“我们都在同一条线上气或者“我们的鼻子又指向同一个方向”。

如果你提出一个决定，你会发现每个人都有话要说，以及有问题要问。这就是为什么荷兰人不能很快找到一个唯一正确的解决办法。这种方式的优点是，这样的会议往往会导致对某 个计划的某些方面的改进提出真正的建议。因此，这个计划将是一个联合的方法。

这个耗时而看似无用的过程有助于同事成为一个团队。当每个人都回去工作时，在桌子 周围所耗费的时间比弥补效率低所费的时间要更有意义。统计数据显示，荷兰员工在工作效 率方面属于世界领先者。

Why do people like iPhones?

No wada ys , mobile phones play an important role in our lives. You can find that a lot of people look at their mobile phones carefully when they are ·wai ting for the buses rather than read a newspap r. I am also one of the people who cannot live without mobile phones, because mo bile phones bring us some benefits.

There are many brands of mobile phones in the market, such as Oppo, HUAWEI, Sam- sung, Xiaomi, and so on. But there is one mobile phone that is very popular among modern young people, which is Apple phone, that is, iPhone. I am of no exception.

So many mobile phones, why do people love iPhone alone? The reasons are· as follows: iPhone has its unique design-simplicity. There is only one button on the whole interface. Al- though there is only one button, the f un.ction 1s very powerful. That's the second reason that I' m going to say. The photos taken by an apple camera are in a variety of forms and are par- ticularly good. In addition, during the flight mode, it can charge quickly. Of co ur s.e , iPhone is powerful, and I don't know many of its settings. It's like a secret garden for me, which makes me have curiosity arid desire for exploration.

·In a word, there are many reasons why people like iPhones. As far as I am concerned., there1s

an important reason for it, the founder of it, Jobs. He·1s a genius a_n d innovative. His

Part II Reading Comprehension (40ponts)

Directions: there are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D, choose the best and mark your answer on the ANSEWR SHEET.

Passage One

Have you ever heard of a pawpaw(木瓜)? If not, do not feel bad. Many Americans do not know of the fruit, although it is native to the U.S..Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods.

A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from New York to Florida and all over the eastern U.S..At one time, it could be found as far west as Nebraska.

The pawpaw was an important food for Native Americans and even early European settlers. Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first U.S. president, who especially liked them cold. Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. president, was also s fan of the fruit. He planted papaws at his home in Virginia. He also sent pawpaw seeds to his friends in France, American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals about the pawpaw.

The pawpaw is difficult to be sold commercially. The fruit requires a very special environment---low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the

fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it comes from.

Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers have organized “pawpaw festivals” to reintroduce people to food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws, like pawpaw jams, pies, ice-cream and beer.

16. Many American people do not know that the pawpaw

A. Was once popular in the U.S.

B. Is native to the U.S. only

C. Has become popular again

D. Is a healthy fruit

17. The pawpaw used to be found mainly

A. Around Nebraska

B. In the eastern U.S.

C. All over Florida

D. In New York suburbs

【答案】B

【解析】根据文章“A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from New York to Florida and all over the eastern U.S.”可以得出答案。

18. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are mentioned in paragraph 3 as

A. American explorers

B. Famous politicians

C. Early pawpaw planters

D. Pawpaw lovers

【答案】D

【解析】根据文章“Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first U.S. president, who especially liked them cold. Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. president, was also s fan of the fruit.”可以得到答案。

19. It is difficult to sell the pawpaw on a large scale for the following reasons EXCPEPT that the fruit

A. Requires a very special environment

B. Has a very short harvest season

C. Does not taste good

D. Is difficult to preserve after harvesting

【答案】C

【解析】根据文章“The fruit requires a very special environment---low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it comes from.”可以得到答案。

20. Pawpaw festivals are organized in some states

A. As a way of celebrating harvest

B. As part of the traditional culture

C. To display pawpaw growing techniques

D. To reintroduce people to the fruit

【答案】D

【解析】根据文章“In several states farmers have organized “pawpaw festivals” to reintroduce people to food.”可以得到答案。

Passage Two

Throughout history, humans have suffered from a condition that they have never been able to escape—ageing. Some researchers, however, believe we may be thinking about it in the wrong way. They say we should start treating ageing itself as a disease —one that can be prevented and treated.

Their hopes are founded on recent discoveries that suggest biological ageing may be entirely preventable and treatable. From a biological preventive, the body ages at different rates according to genetic and environmental factors. Tiny errors build up in our DNA and our cells begin developing faults that can grow into tissue damage, which leads to ageing and ageing—related diseases.

One of the leading figures in human life research, Aubrey De Grey, explains in an interview that their goal is to develop a set of therapies for middle-aged and older people that will leave them physically and mentally equivalent(相当的) to someone under the age of 30. “Of course, without wiping their memories,” he adds. But he doesn’t think that is will be possible to stop ageing altogether. He sees a future where “rejuvenation technologies” can be applied to old people in order to revert their cells to what they were like when they were in their youth, buying them extra time. The idea is that someone who is treated at the age of 60 will be

biologically reverted to 30. But because the therapies are not permanent fixes. Their cells will end up becoming 60 years old again in another 30 years time.

Passage Three

When jack Davis, 9, looks up at the night sky, he doesn’t see just the stars. He sees his future. The fourth grader from New Jersey has a deep interest in outer space and the alien(外星的) beings he thinks might live there.

In July, Jack heard that NASA was looking for a new planetary protection officer and decided he was the right person for the job. The position, which focuses on preventing astronauts from accidentally bringing extremely small, potentially dangerous alien life-forms back to Earth and ensuring that astronauts do not take Earth-based germs with them into space, pays from $124,406 to $187,000 per year. Jack wrote a letter to NASA, noting his qualifications for the job. “My sister says I am an alien,” Jack wrote, pointing out that since he is young, he can “learn to think like an alien.” He signed the letter “Jack Davis, Guardian of the Galaxy.” Within days, Jack received a personal letter from NASA’s planetary science director, James L. Green. “We are always looking for bright future scientists and engineers to help us,” Green wrote.”I hope you will study hard and do well in school. We hope to see you here at NASA one of these days!”

Jack said he was “shocked” when Green’s response arrived. “I shouted, I got a letter from NASA!”

Green says he loves to answer letters from children. He calls his response a “gravity assist.” Spacecraft use gravity assistance from objects like planets and moons to help power the craft toward another celestial(天上的) body. Green hopes a reply can influence a person’s path in life in a similar way.

Passage Four

Online dating has just been revealed to be one of the most common ways to start a relationship. But new research reveals that the concept is still highly flawed(有缺陷的).

An analysis of 400 studies into online dating shows that while it offers access to plenty of other singles, users can be overwhelmed and put off by the volume of choice, defeating the purpose.

The research, by Northwestern University and published in the journal Psychological Science in the public interest, found that the processes involved don’ t lend themselves to forming strong relationships. The findings also indicated that the concept of an online profile(介绍) is not entirely useful and “can result in treating potential partners as mere objects”.

Lead author Eli J Finkel explained: “Online dating is a terrific addition for singles to meet. However, there are two problems.” First, studying over seemingly endless lists of profiles of people one does not know, as on Match.com, does not reveal much about them. Second, it “overloads people and they end up shutting down,” he said.

He compared it to shopping at “supermarkets of love” and said psychological research shows people presented with too many choices tend to make lazy and often poor decisions.

The study’s authors also questioned the algorithms(算法) employed by sites such as eHarmony.com to match people based on their interests or personality—comparing it to having a real estate agent of love. While the algorithm may reduce the number of potential partners from thousands to a few, they may be as unsuitable for each other as two people meeting at random, Dr Finkel explained, adding the chances are

no better than finding a relationship by walking into any bar. “There’s no better way to figure out whether you’re a match with somebody than talking to them over a coffee or beer,” Dr Finkel said.

31. What is the author’s attitude towards online dating?

A. Negative

B. Positive

C. Indifferent

【解析】根据文章“But new research reveals that the concept is still highly flawed”可以得出答案。

32. According to Paragraph 2, online dating

A. Attracts a limited number of singles

B. Has been widely studied recently

C. Is criticized as lacking a purpose

D. Offers too many choice

【答案】D

【解析】根据文章“An analysis of 400 studies into online dating shows that while it offers access to plenty of other singles, users can be overwhelmed and put off by the volume of choice, defeating the purpose.”可以得出答案。

33. The phrase “lend themselves to”(Para.3) probably means

A. Be opposed to

B. Be easily used for

C. Be happy with

D. Be consistent with

【答案】B

【解析】根据文章“Psychological Science in the public interest, found that the processes involved don’t lend themselves to forming strong relationships.”可以得出答案。

34. Why is Dr. Finkel mentioned in the passage?

A. He is the lead researcher of the study on online dating

B. He is a well-know professor at Northwestern University

C. He is an expert in analyzing people’s shopping patterns

D. He is the president of a famous online matching website

【答案】A

【解析】根据文章“Lead author Eli J Finkel explained: “Online dating is a terrific addition for singles to meet. However, there are two problems.””可以得出答案。
