第二部分
阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 (共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25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,并在答题纸
上将该项涂黑。
A
Thanks to technology, ride-hailing(打车)is
as easy as opening an app on your phone.
Ac-
cording to Didi, China’s top ride-hailing
app, 81.3 percent of passengers preferred using an
online
service last year. But just like many
other modern high-tech developments, convenience
comes with
concerns.
Didi Chuxing
announced a trial re-launch of its
carpool(拼车)service, Didi Hitch(滴滴顺
风车), in
seven cities including Harbin, Taiyuan and Beijing
from Nov 20. More than a year ago,
Didi suspended the service following the
murders of two separate female passengers in May
and
August, respectively.
The re-launch
comes with a range of new safety features. One of
the new measures proved
controversial. It
carried out an 8 pm curfew(宵禁)on women, but
allowed men to enjoy the service
till 11 pm.
Many users complained on social media that the
policy was sexist. According to CNN, the
topic
“#WomenCan’tTakeDidiAfter8PM#” was trending on
weibo, with one post calling it
“negative
marketing and gender-biased(性别歧视的)”. It had gained
more than 70,000 likes as of
Nov 11.
After
the strong public reaction, Didi Chuxing changed
its decision. Both men and women will
be able
to use Didi Hitch between 5 am and 8 pm.
According to CNN, Didi Hitch had logged more
than a billion total rides before its suspension,
but it remains to be seen if the company can
win back users’ trust.
Didi is not the only
ride-sharing app to arouse public safety concerns,
nor is it the only one to
attempt special
protections for women. The globally popular car-
hailing services Uber and Lyft now
require
strict background checks and emergency SMS
services that will automatically send a car’s
description, license number, and current
location to police, CBS news reported.
According to CNBC, one Boston-based ride-
hailing service only hires women to drive and will
only accept women or children under 13 as
passengers. Despite all the safety features,
riders should
check their drivers’ number
plates, ensure they are being taken on the correct
route, and inform
friends of travel plans.
21. The underlined word “suspended” in
Paragraph 2 probably means __________.
A.
improved on something
B. worried about
something
C. stopped something for a time
D. took the responsibility for something
22. Why did Didi Chuxing change its Hitch
curfews?
A. Because of its recent online risk
analysis.
B. Because of the public’s negative
reaction.
C. For the convenience of different
users.
D. For the sake of safety problems of
women.
23. The passage is probably taken from
_________.
A. an advertisement
B. a
textbook
C. a newspaper
D. a public speech
B
While we may think it feels good to
complain, complaining has some bad effects
associated
with it.
Why isn’t complaining
beneficial? Research shows that it connects our
brain with negativity.
The brain is designed
to work efficiently. This means that when we
repeat a thought, negative or
positive, the
nerve cells form a bridge between each other to
pass information in a higher speed.
Therefore,
the next time we have a similar type of thought,
it is more easily passed. This explains
why
certain thought patterns become habits.
Yet the harmful effects don’t stop there. A
study shows that complaining causes the
hippocampus(海马体), which plays a vital role in
problem-solving, to become smaller.
In
addition to causing brain damage, complaining also
releases a stress hormone: cortisol(皮
质醇), a
kind of chemical the body produces when we meet
with some danger. Constantly having
a high
level of cortisol results in high blood pressure,
high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫
力).
The ill effects of our complaining aren’t just
limited to ourselves: they also involve those
around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our
friends. For this reason, we should be cautious
about having stubborn complainers in our
circle of companions.
The best way to deal
with constant negativity is to develop a sense of
gratitude. Just like
complaining acts as a
poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research
shows it lowers cortisol levels
by 23 percent,
as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar.
It also decreases tiredness and
depression.
Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a
behavior that steals our brain power,
happiness and physical well-being.
What
have you observed about the effects of complaining
in your own life or in the lives of
others?
Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you
feel better all around? Please share your
thoughts in the comments section below.
do Para. 2-3 mainly talk about?
A. The
diseases caused by complaining.
B. The
decrease of a vital part of our brain.
C. The
bad effects of complaining on brain power.
D.
The reason why certain thought patterns become
habits.
25. What can we know about cortisol
from the passage?
A. Gratitude is an effective
cure for cortisol.
B. Our body produces
cortisol when we feel excited.
C. Cortisol is
a chemical that can cause brain damage.
D.
Having a high level of cortisol can lead to many
health problems.
attitude does the writer
take to stubborn complainers?
A. Grateful.
B. Tolerant.
C. Disapproving. D. Skeptical.
C
It’s a common belief that the roles
actors play might somehow reflect their true
personalities.
It’s usually not true, but
British actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 34, is an
exception.
Just like Fleabag, the character
she played in the comedy-drama series of the same
name,
Waller-Bridge feels that her life is a
mess. “It’s just really wonderful to know — and
reassuring
(令人欣慰的)— that a dirty ... angry,
messed up woman can make it to the Emmys,” she
said.
She may be “messed up”, but Variety
magazine calls her an “all-around icon”.
Last
month, Waller-Bridge took home three Emmy awards
for her work on Fleabag — best
writing in a
comedy series, best lead actress, and best comedy
series.
Her success is partly because of her
family. Descended(……的后裔)from British nobility,
Waller-Bridge was brought up in a free
environment. Her mother always told her, “You can
be
whatever you want if you imagine it.” So
Waller-Bridge broke all the rules about what a
“good”
girl should do.
“Our laws and moral
codes don’t apply — she lives ... without fear of
consequence,” The Sun
noted.
That fearlessness extends to being
authentic in her writing and acting.
Unlike
the can-do heroines and strong, successful women
in many TV dramas, Waller-
Bridge shows a
flawed but real character. The character Fleabag
was a screw-up who always
found a way to say
or do the wrong thing. “It resonated with the
lives of stressed-out women
everywhere in
reality—doing their best to find balance in their
lives,” a viewer wrote on US
movie website
IMDb.
Villanelle in Killing Eve, another hit
TV series developed by Waller-Bridge, was a little
bit
violent but showed no interest for the
rules others created, which make many people see
themselves in her.
“People have been
scared to write characters like these. But I
think, now, women are so
relieved to have this
new template(样板). And, aren’t we all a bit of
everything?” Waller-Bridge
said in an
interview with Indian Express.
With such
courage and sincerity(真诚), Waller-Bridge is,
without a doubt, a “golden girl” in
Hollywood,
Australian news website The New Daily commented.
is the article mainly about?
A. The
popularity of the comedy-drama series Fleabag.
B. The similarities between Phoebe Waller-
Bridge and the character she plays on Fleabag.
C. What helped Waller-Bridge succeed in
comedy.
D. What inspired Waller-Bridge to take
up writing and acting.
28. How did Waller-
Bridge’s parents influence her growth?
A. They
constantly encouraged her to be herself.
B.
They pushed her to follow social codes.
C.
They taught her to write and act when she was
young.
D. They always reminded her to be
curious and fearless.
underlined phrase
“resonated with” in Paragraph 7 probably means
“__________”.
A. messed up
B. was in
agreement with
C. had great effects on
D.
paid attention to
30. What do Villanelle in
Killing Eve and Fleabag in Fleabag have in common?
A. Both are courageous and organized.
B.
Both are rebellious but strong and successful.
C. Both successfully find balance in their
lives.
D. Both are much alike in character.

How to Make More Friends in Senior High
Get to know the people in your classes.
These are the people you’ll see and interact with
every day, so becoming friends with a few of
them will give you a great support network
throughout the school year. 31. __________ If
you do already know them, ask them a question
about their hobbies or family so that you can
get to know them a little better.
Become
involved in extracurricular activities or
clubs.
High school is a great place to find
people and clubs that share your interests.
Sign up to be in the drama club — any club or
activity
that catches your attention and you
think you’d enjoy. If your high school does not
have a club
that caters to your interests or
passions, start one of your own! 32.
__________This helps give
admission committees
a better idea about who you are as a person.
33.
__________ Sports are a good way
to get active while also being part of a close-
knit
(紧
密合作的)
team. Choose a sport you
like, such as soccer, softball, basketball, or
swimming, and
work hard during practice and at
games to make your team and yourself proud.
Reach out to people and make new friends.
34. __________ Start a conversation with
someone in the hall, sit with someone new at
lunch, or offer to partner up with someone you’re
not
friends with for a class project. If you
don’t feel comfortable talking to a complete
stranger, say
hello to the person whose locker
is next to yours, or
compliment
(赞美)
someone’s outfit in the
lunch room.
Attend school events to
broaden your experiences.
Events such as
school dances, sports
and games are all an
essential part of the high school experience. Even
if you aren’t full of school
spirit, try to go
to at least one school event each season — you’ll
likely end up making great
memories. 35.
____________ Ask your friend to introduce you to
people you may not know.
A.
If
you apply to college, include your activities on
your application.
B.
Ask someone in
one of your classes if they’d like to get together
to study.
C.
Try out a sport to be
part of a team.
D.
Invite a friend or
two to come along with you.
E.
If you
don’t know them, introduce yourself and start a
casual conversation.
F.
Other
extracurricular activities might include yoga,
coding, or chess club.
G.
Whether
you’re a freshman or a senior, you can always meet
new people and form new
relationships.

When

Lilya
Finkel.
It was an 843-piece Middle Eastern
36 palace. And with it were instructions that
Finkel
made 37 for it. Finkel invented a

complete a
Lego set 42 . Shifrin knew
immediately that he had to help other blind
children find the same
43 .
Shifrin
says, “For blind people, Lego sets act as small 3D
44 for real-life buildings
instead of two-
dimensional photographs. Lego bricks allow me to
see things that are 45 to
explore by
touch.”
For years after that incredible Lego
46 , he created similar instructions for about 45
other Lego sets, together with Finkel, all
published on a website they created, “Lego for the
47.”
Shifrin began 48 to Lego several years ago
to discuss his work, 49 it was in 2017,
when Finkel died of cancer, that he finally
connected with the 50 person.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Ever done
something you didn’t want to do, just to fit in?
Or just because your friends
wanted you to?
That’s peer pressure. And just about everyone
feels it at one time or another. Peers
are
people your age, such as your friends, who have
experiences similar to yours. Your peers
influence your decisions and behavior every
day, and they can push you to make bad choices,
even
dangerous ones. But is peer pressure
always bad?
Actually, peer pressure can
sometimes be a good thing. Friends can give you
the courage to
try something you normally
wouldn’t, like a new sport or taking part in the
school play. Nicole S.,
16, used to be afraid
of singing in front of people. One time, her
friends convinced her to sing
karaoke with
them. She ended up having fun! “Now I will sing
anywhere, even with people
present. Positive
peer pressure helped me face my fear,” she says.
The people around you can also be bad
influences, however. Maybe a star teammate tells
you
never to pass the ball to a certain
player, or a popular student cheats on tests or
sends mean texts.
Should you try to be like
them to fit in?
Peer pressure is powerful, but
the ability to choose is yours. If a situation
feels wrong, there’s
a good chance it is
wrong. Standing up for yourself and saying no
isn’t always easy. But you
might give voice to
a bunch of peers that feel the same way you do. It
can take just one person to
speak out and
change a situation. The main thing is not to
compromise (
妥协
) who you are. The
kind
of coolness and popularity you think you may get
by joining the crowd and doing risky
things is
temporary. Your character is with you for the rest
of your life. Be who you are, not who
others
want you to be. People will respect you for
standing up for yourself — even if it doesn’t
seem like it right away.

参考范文:
Dear John,
I’m writing to reply
to your email regarding the Chinese idiom story
competition you are going to
participate in.
It would be my great pleasure to help you prepare
for the contest.
I would like to offer some
suggestions before we meet. Firstly, as there are
a great number of
idioms to choose from, I
recommend the most commonly used ones that come
from interesting
stories. Additionally, many
idioms have their roots in ancient myths or
historical facts. Thus, I
advise fully
researching their meanings and origins to gain an
instructive and fascinating insight
into the
cultural history of China. In this way, your
storytelling will be highly impressive and
appealing.
I hope the suggestions above
can be of some help to you. Could you please tell
me when and
where we can meet? I look forward
to a further discussion with you.
Yours,
Li Hua

W: But there’s no milk.
M: Well, just mix
up some powdered milk.
W: No way. Come on,
Dad.
M: Uh, OK. I guess I could make some
pancakes.
W: Uh, no. Last weekend you made
pancakes, and they were as hard as a rock.
M:
That bad? Alright. Wait! Why in the world are we
having this conversation anyway? You’re
14
years old. Make your own breakfast. I’m going back
to bed.

W: Dr. Purdy, what would
you say is the most striking thing about
volcanoes?
M: I think it’s the fact that they
can erupt at any time.
W: Yes.
M: But
not all volcanoes are dangerous killers.
W:
Really?
M: Take Mount Etna in Sicily for
example. It’s called the “Friendly Giant”, not
because it’s
big—though it is—but because its
lava(火山岩浆) moves very slowly. This gives people
time to
escape. It’s not a killer volcano.
W: Oh, I didn’t know that about its lava.
M: It’s true. Also, people have recorded the
number of deaths caused by Mount Etna for over
3,000 years, and it has only killed 73 people
in all.
W: Wow!
M: Volcanoes are always
changing. On the site of Mount Fuji in Japan,
there were 2 other
volcanoes there before the
present one.
W: Amazing!
M: Mount Fuji is
actually a very popular place for tourists,
including the Japanese. It has about
400,000
visitors a year.

W: Hey, Jack. Are
you ready to study abroad?
M: Well, not
really. I still have to prepare some clothes.
W: Well, what’s the weather like where you’re
going?
M: Well, uh, it’s really hot in summer,
so I’m going to buy some shorts and a few
T-shirts.
W: What about the rest of the year?
M: People say that the fall can still be warm
until November, so my mother has bought some jeans
and a few casual shirts for me.
W: Will
you need any warm clothes for the winter?
M:
Well, the weather doesn’t get too cold, but it
often snows in the mountains, so I’m going to
pack a couple of warm sweaters, a jacket, and
a hat. I don’t have room in my suitcase to pack a
coat, so I’m going to wait until I get there
and buy it when I really need it.
W: Are you
going to take anything else?
M: They say it
rains cats and dogs in spring, but again, I’ll
just go to pick up a raincoat later on.

W: Millions of high school students have
read To Kill a Mockingbird. The novel by Harper
Lee
offers moral lessons about racial justice
and respect. It tells the story of a young girl
named Scout
and her father, Atticus Finch, a
lawyer. He defends a black man wrongfully accused
of raping a
white woman. In the end, an all-
white jury sentences Tom Robinson to death.
The book is set in the American South in the
1930s. But it was published over 50 years ago, on
July 11th, 1960. It has been translated into
more than forty languages and has sold over forty
million copies. It won a Pulitzer Prize and is
often required reading in high school.
Since
then, Monroeville, Harper Lee’s hometown, has
changed a lot. A number of
African-Americans
serve in the local government. The courthouse,
made famous by the book, is
now a museum. A
small shop and a fast-food restaurant called Mel’s
Dairy Dream have replaced
Harper Lee’s
childhood home.
