第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,35分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出较佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.
Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.
While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons.
When there’s a downturn(衰退)in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.
When you’re skilful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.
21. What is the text mainly about?
A. Sources of knowledge.
B. Benefits of attending college.
C. The disadvantages of not being educated.
D. The reason why some people think college useless.
22. How does the writer develop the passage?
A. By giving examples. B. By listing reasons.
C. By following directions. D. By offering suggestions.
23. Which of the following are not mentioned by the writer about going to college?
A. Gaining more knowledge.
B. Enlarging social networks.
C. Becoming a humorous person.
D. Experiencing diverse cultures.
B
From a child I was fond of reading, and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books. Pleased with the Pilgrim’s Progress, my first collection was of John Bunyan’s works, in separate little volumes. I afterwards sold them to enable me to buy R. Burton’s Historical Collections; they were small chapmen’s books and cheap, 40 or 50 in all. My father’s little library consisted chiefly of books in religion, most of which I read, and have since often regretted that, at a time when I had such a thirst for knowledge; more proper books had not fallen in my way, since I realized that I should not be a clergyman(牧师). Plutarch’s Lives there was, in which I read abundantly, and I still think that time spent to great advantage. There was also a book of Defoe’s, called An Essay on Projects, and another of Dr. Mather’s called Essays to Do Good which perhaps gave me a turn of thinking that had an influence on some of the principal future events of my life.
This bookish preference at length determined my father to make me a printer, though he had already one son (James) of that profession. In 1717, my brother James returned from England with a press and letters to set up his business in Boston. I liked it much better than that of my father, but still have a thirst for the sea. To prevent the concerned effect of such a desire, my father was impatient to have me bound to my brother. I stood out some time but at last was persuaded, and signed the contract, when I was yet but 12 years old.. I was to serve as an apprentice(学徒)till I was 2l years of age, only I was to be allowed journeyman’s wages during the last year. In a little time I made great proficiency in the business, and became a useful hand to my brother..
I now had access to better books. An acquaintance with the apprentices of booksellers, enabled me sometimes to borrow a small one, which I was careful to return soon and clean. Often I sat up in my room reading the greatest part of the night, when the book was borrowed in the evening and to be returned early in the morning, in case it should be missed or wanted. And after some time an imaginative tradesman Mr. Matthew Adams who had a pretty collection of books and who visited our printing house frequently took notice of me, invited me to his library, and very kindly lent me such books as I choose to read.--From Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
24. Which of the following does NOT contribute to the author’s change of thought?
A. Pilgrim’s Progress B. Plutarch’s Lives
C. An Essay on Projects D. Essays to Do Good
25. What was the reason that his father made him a printer?
A. His father thought he had a gift for painting.
B. He liked the printing business better than any other things.
C. His brother, as a printer, promised to take good care of him.
D. His father worried that his longing for sea might affect his future.
26. What does the underlined sentence “I now had access to better books.” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. My desire for books was completely satisfied.
B. I could afford the books that I really preferred.
C. My spare time was mostly occupied with reading
D. I could read more books which I was interested in.

C
You know the feeling –you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia”(无手机恐惧症)affects teenagers and adults alike. You can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone”
predicted higher levels of nomophobia.
“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.” Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts –the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).
“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,” says Griffiths. “You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is ingrained in this device.”
Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no internet,” says Griffiths.
27. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?
A. We waste too much time on phones.
B. Phones have become part of some users.
C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.
D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.
28. According to Griffiths, we get nomophobia because ________.
A. we are accustomed to having a phone on us
B. we need our phones to help us store information
C. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doing
D. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble
29. Which of the following phrase has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase “ingrained in” in Paragraph 4?
A. relied on B. opposed to C. approved of D. determined by
30. Where can you probably find the above passage?
A. In a research report. B. In a fashion brochure.
C. In a science textbook. D. In a popular science magazine.

Do you usually feel you're working hard but still can’t reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.
♦ Study with a partner or in groups
Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him. 31
♦ Step into your teacher’s shoes
Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test?” You have probably experienced a lot of your teacher’s tests and quizzes by now. 32 Teachers have specific types of information that they want you to learn. The structure is usually the same.
♦ Paint pictures on the paper
You can build your knowledge structure in the form of pictures. It’s harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture. 33
♦ 34
A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized.
♦ Take breaks to relax your brain
Your brain is like a muscle. It can be also tired if you overwork it 35 If you divide studying into 15 to 30 minutes blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at.
A. Feed your brain from time to time.
B. It needs exercise to make it stronger.
C. Relax your brain by eating and drinking.
D. You’d better learn from them for the next test.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and wet, and the street lamps gave little light. Frank was anxious get hand and his footsteps rang loudly on the silent night.
When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. However the sound continued, and Frank began walking more quickly. Then he slowed down again, thinking there was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this. The short, quick steps grew louder until they seemed very near.
Frank found it impossible not to turn round. As he did so, he caught sight of a human form coming toward him. After reaching the other side of the bridge, Frank stopped and pretended to look down at the water. From the corner of his eyes he could now make out the form of a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen.
As the man came near, Frank turned towards him and said something about the weather in an effort to be friendly. The man did not answer but asked roughly where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.
Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour. He knew that the person who lived there was very rich. Almost without realizing what he was doing, Frank began following the stranger quietly.
The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A light was still on, and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop onto the ground at the other side.
