第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
If you’re traveling to South America in summer, you should have Patagonia high up on your list of things to do. If you plan to do hiking or camping, the best time for a trip is between the end of November and the beginning of March.
Bariloche, Argentina
The fact that Bariloche is well connected makes it the perfect starting point of a round trip through Patagonia. But more than that: the combination of mountains, lakes and green forests results in its beautiful scenery.
Futaleufú, Chile
Further down south is the small Chilean village Futaleufú. The Futaleufú River is often referred to as one of the best white water spots for rafting in the world. The landscape along the river is unique and, due to its location, still pretty much untouched.
Puerto Rio Tranquilo, Chile
If you want to get there quickly, you should travel through Argentina and cross over to Chile Chico as this place is also very remote. The reason to do so: the marble caves in the General Carrera lake.
Torres del Paine, Chile
Personally the national park Torres del Paine is my number 1 attraction in Patagonia - you should take some time to experience as much of it as possible: glaciers, forests, impressive mountain ranges, lagoons and rivers.
21. What is the best time for hiking in Patagonia
A. October 1— November 1. B. December 25— January 15.
C. March 5— April 1. D. November 5— June 7.
22. Which of the following about the Futaleufú River is true
A. It lies in an unique village.
B. It is ignored due to rafting sports.
C. It still has untouched landscapes.
D. It is the best rafting river in the world.
23. Which place attracts the author most in Patagonia
A. Bariloche. B. Futaleufú.
C. Puerto Rio Tranquilo. D. Torres del Paine.
B
I found a special app on my cellphone after I turned 15 and I fell in love with it immediately.
The app is a social media platform where people share snippets（片段） of their lives and content they consider worth sharing, and it’s also a space to communicate with others. While all those are obviously great things, it comes with many negative aspects. Number 1 on the list of problems is the scrolling（滚屏） addiction. The Internet is overflowing with content and our “Far You” page is an unending supplier of it. What I’ve come to learn through my own experience is that after some time we become so used to scrolling that it becomes a reflex action（反射动作） for us to do so whenever we’re bored.
Before I used the app, I really loved writing and reading books. However, after I used it, everything changed for me. All I wanted to do was to be on my phone. Scrolling was just making me feel tired and lazy and my creativity was lost. I wasn’t feeling motivated enough to get myself out of the bad cycle I’d fallen into.
Finally, I realized that I was stuck. I knew I needed to get out of it. It didn’t just happen overnight though. It took me a few weeks to finally stop using the app. Now I can concentrate on reading and writing again. I’m glad I’ve made the right decision.
I know many young people are struggling now just like I used to. If you think using social media platforms is negatively affecting your life, then take action to quit it.
24. What does the author think is the biggest problem of using the app
A. Being addicted to scrolling.
B. Making one get bored easily.
C. Sharing too much about one’s life.
D. Having difficulty in finding good content.
25. How did the app influence the author
A. She became more creative.
B. She developed some new hobbies.
C. She couldn’t focus on other things.
D. She became interested in online stories.
26. What do we know about the author’s quitting the app
A. She failed many times. B. She succeeded gradually.
C. She managed it overnight. D. She got help from others.
27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell her story of using social media.
B. To show how she began to write again.
C. To show social media is a double edged sword.
D. To warn young people not to be addicted to social media.
C
A new study has found that some of the hottest heatwaves in history happened a long time ago. Scientists from the University of Bristol did this research and said that as our world gets warmer, we can expect even hotter heatwaves in the future.
The study found five very hot heatwaves. Dr. Vikki Thompson, who led the study, said that the heatwave in Canada and the United States was very surprising, but there were even hotter ones in the past. She also said that using what we know about the climate, we can guess that very hot days will get more common in the next100 years.
Heatwaves can cause a lot of problems. The one in western North America was very bad and caused many disasters. It also started big fires that damaged many things and ruined crops. People will remember this heatwave because it caused so much damage.
Even though the hottest places are not always the ones that have the biggest problems, they are often connected. Knowing more about the very hot days and where they happen can help protect the most vulnerable regions.
Professor Dann Mitchell, who also worked on the study, said that climate change is a big health problem for everyone on Earth. He pointed out that many heatwaves in places that are not very rich were not noticed. When a country gets very hot, it can cause many people to die, especially if the temperature is not normal for them.
The University of Bristol cares about the problems caused by climate change and wants to help fix them.
28. What can we expect about heatwaves in the future
A. They will decrease in amount.
B. They will only affect certain regions.
C. They will have no impact on global health.
D. They will increase in degree over the coming century.
29. What does the underlined word “disasters” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Cuts in food production. B. Events resulting in great loss.
C. Activities held by government. D. Something important to environment.
30. Why is it important to understand where the hottest heatwaves have happened
A. To predict where the next heatwave will happen.
B. To find the connection between heatwaves and crop yields.
C. To help take measures to protect the most vulnerable regions.
D. To determine which countries need to reduce their greenhouse gas.
31. What can we know from paragraph 5
A. The heatwaves in poor places are always noticed.
B. Climate change has had a great influence on health.
C. The death rate related to the climate change is expected to be lower.
D. Developing countries are warned of the influences of climate change.
D
Nowadays, handwriting seems to become less necessary, for young children learn to tap and touch screens before they have even learned to pick up a pencil. Most of our written communication is done through texting on mobile phones or typing on a keyboard. And voice recognition softwares （软件） are becoming more and more advanced — making even keyboards unnecessary!
So, are handwriting skills important to your child Actually, handwriting is an exercise in eye- hand coordination（协调）, an important part of visual- motor（视觉运动） skills, which are connected with achievements in study. A research found that developing fine visual- motor skills in early childhood can lead to not only writing success, but better performance in reading and math in elementary school. It was also found that kids who fail to write neatly and efficiently are often considered lazy, and this may affect their behavior and self- worth. Moreover, a study showed that when a group of children were asked to come up with ideas for an article, the ones with better handwriting were more active and had quicker minds. In some ways, handwriting helps their brains’ development.
The first attempts at writing can be challenging for pre- school children. Parents should provide lots of opportunities for kids to copy and draw shapes and simple pictures in early childhood before letters are introduced. Let your child copy your shapes in sand, or with chalks on a board before trying to draw the shapes on their own. Encourage your child to spend less time on electronic devices（电子设备） and more time on activities to improve eye- hand coordination.
Technology is certain to continue developing and more research is needed to find the best ways to teach handwriting to young children. But, there’s plenty of evidence that the handwriting practice can provide young children with a good start in developing skills needed for a health y and successful journey in school.
32. According to Paragraph 1, handwriting is ______.
A. easy to learn on a touch screen B. used less frequently now
C. more difficult than typewriting D. totally replaced by softwares
33. How does the author explain the benefits of handwriting
A. By mentioning examples of the kids.
B. By presenting some research findings.
C. By giving some news reports on hand- writing.
D. By providing data about pupils with good grades.
34. What does the author suggest parents do
A. Keep young children away from electronic devices.
B. Teach pre- school children to write letters with chalks.
C. Help children get ready for handwriting before school.
D. Encourage children to face writing challenges bravely.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Does poor handwriting really mean being lazy
B. How can handwriting affect children’s self- confidence
C. Should handwriting be taken seriously in children’s growth
D. Should homework be done through handwriting or typewriting

In most cases, students don’t like or have time to clean their dorm rooms. 36 As a result, everybody’s business is nobody’s business. Read through this guide to keeping your dorm room clean.
Have a cleaning routine（常规）. With a cleaning routine in place, you will always tidy up your room at a particular time often. If you can, sweep up your room every day in the morning. You can also do it every other day. 37 Doing this can make the process harder during exam time. In addition, you can take turns cleaning if you have a roommate.
38 The quickest way of making a dorm room dirty and unorganized is to throw clothes randomly. Never throw dirty clothes on the bed or the floor. They will quickly fill your room up. Rather, you should keep your dirty clothes in a basket and clean ones in your closet.
