第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节（共10个小题；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
Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from
Philadelphia, wants the world to
know exactly
where she’s been while she’s on her worldwide
vacation in a special
way. The traveler, who
was born with a bone disease, had her right leg
amputated (截
肢) at the age of four. Although
the amputation caused inconvenience for Gallagher
early on, she now sees it as nothing short of
inspiration for living her best life.
To
spread that message, Gallagher has gone to social
media, where she shares
photos of her travels
across the world, but instead of simply using a
geo-tag(地
理位置标签), she writes her location on
her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the
Continent, which show her cycling
over the
canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall overlooking
the city of Barcelona,
posing with a waffle in
Brussels, taking in the beautiful Parthenon temple
in Athens
and enjoying a river ride in
Budapest, all with the well-known locations
written on
her artificial leg.
“I get a
new leg every two years and I can choose the
design on it. One day
I had a sudden thought
to get a chalk-board，” Gallagher said. “My mum and
grandmother
didn’t like the idea， but my
friends thought it was great and told me to go for
it， so I did.”

Gallagher
said people often stare when she’s writing on her
leg， but once she
shares the photos， she
receives only positive feedback(反馈)， “My leg
hasn’t stopped
me from doing anything I’ve
wanted to do，” she said. “I don’t know if it’s my
determination to prove to myself that I can do
it， anyway， I’ve been able to keep
up with
people at my age and lead a pretty great life.”
Gallagher shows us that you should never let
anything stand in the way of your
dreams. And
if life gives you an artificial leg， make art.
message did Gallagher want to spread in her
special way?
enjoys her travelling across the
globe.
suffers little from her leg’s
amputation.
looks on her misfortune as
another form of blessing.
has exactly fallen
in love with posting photos online.
does the
word “which” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
pictures continent leg location
her
can best be described as ________.
l and
ambitious
generous
ined and creative
答案：CAC
解析：21.细节理解题。根据第二段中
Gallagher
early on， she now sees it as nothing short of
inspiration for living her
best life.可知，虽然截肢早期
给Gallapher带来了挫折，但她现在认为这是对她最好的生
活的激励，也就是她想向人们传递她
把自己的不幸当作另一种形式的幸事，故C项正确。
2
ly and
ndent and wise
22.词义猜测题。根据画线词前的she
has been taking pictures across the Continent，
可知，她现在正在欧洲各地拍摄照片，在照片中，她骑着自行车穿过阿姆斯特丹运河，分析
句子结构可知
，此处为非限定性定语从句，关系代词which指代的就是先行词pictures，故
A项正确。
23.推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，Gallagher在社交媒体上分享旅行时的照片(拍照之前
把
地点写在假肢上)向人们传递她把自己的不幸当作另一种形式的幸事，可见她很有创造性，虽
然截肢了她像其他人一样过着美好的生活，可见她很有决心，故C项正确。
B
Plants cannot run or hide， so they need other
strategies to avoid being eaten. Some
curl up
their leaves， others produce chemicals to make
themselves taste bad if they
sense animals
drooling on them， chewing them up or laying eggs
on them—all signals
of an attack. New research
now shows some flora can feel a plant-eating
animal well
before it launches an attack，
letting a plant prepare a preemptive (发制人的)
defense
that even works against other pest
species.
When ecologist John Orrock of the
University of Wisconsin-Madison sprayed snail
slime—a liquid the animals release as they
slide along—onto soil， nearby tomato
plants
appeared to notice. They increased their levels of
an enzyme (酶)， which is
known to prevent
plant-eating animals. of the plants were ever
actually
attacked，Orrock says. just gave them
cues that suggested an attack was coming，
and
that was enough to cause big changes in their
chemistry.
Initially Orrock found this
defense worked against snails; in the latest
study，
his team measured the slimy warning's
impact on another potential threat. The
investigators found that hungry caterpillars
(毛虫)， which usually eat tomato leaves
greedily， had no appetite for them after the
plants were exposed to snail slime and
activated their chemical resistance. This
nonspecific defense may be a strategy that
