第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分 40 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。

A

First Aid: To the bone

With summer in full swing and kids excited to head outdoors to play, the possibility of getting injured isn’t a distant possibility. When the injury takes a more serious tone, such as a sprain or a fracture, it’s important to know what to do and not to panic.

How do we tell the difference between a sprain and a fracture?

It is difficult to differentiate as both conditions result in swelling around the injury, bruising of the skin and both feel pretty painful. The best thing to do is to treat the injury as if it is a fracture.

How many types of fracture are there?

Generally, there are two types. Closed fracture is when there is a break in the bone but no damage to the skin or tissue. There will be swelling or skin discolouration at the site of the injury and the injured limb (肢体) cannot move. Open or compound fractures are more obvious as there is a break in the bone, bleeding, and an open wound near the fracture. There is a risk of bacteria getting into the bone, which can cause infection, so seek treatment promptly.

What should parents do?

Parents should:

1. Take clothing off the injured area.

2. If there is no open wound, apply an ice pack to relieve pain and swelling.

3. If a bone fracture is suspected, make a simple splint (夹板) with a board or folded newspapers to immobilise the limb.

4. For open fractures, do not wash the wound or push in any bone that’s sticking out as this causes infection. If the wound continues to bleed, use a clean cloth and press the wound to stop the bleeding. Do not straighten the deformed or curved limbs.

5. If the injury is to the head, neck or back, do not move your child and call 999 immediately.

21. Who is the text intended for?

A. Surgeons. B. Parents. C. Children. D. Teachers.

22. What is the feature of closed fracture?

A. Broken skin.

B. Cracked bone.

C. Risk of infection.

D. Immobile limb.

23. How can we treat open fractures?

A. By putting ice pack on the wound.

B. By repositioning the broken bone.

C. By moving the injured person to safety.

D. By applying pressure to stop the bleeding.

B

Diana Golden was twelve years old when she had cancer. She was walking home one day after playing in the snow when her right leg simply gave out. Doctors diagnosed the problem as bone cancer. They recommended removing her leg above the knee.

When Diana heard the news, she asked the only first question: “Will I be still able to ski?”

“When the doctors said yes,” she later recalled, “I figured it wouldn’t be too bad.”

Losing a leg would cause most children to lose confidence and hope, but Diana refused to dwell on the negative. “It is nothing. A body part.” she’d say.

Most of all, Diana was not discouraged. She loved skiing and she had been on skis since the age of five. After the operation, Diana worked hard to get back to the mountain near her home. “I always skied and I intended to keep on skiing. I never doubt that.” she declared. Diana met her goal. She was back out on the slopes.

With just one leg, Diana made the best of it. In high school, Diana became a member of her school’s ski racing team. And in 1979, when she was just seventeen, she joined the US Disabled Ski Team.

After high school, Diana went on to Dartmouth College. Determined not to be left behind, Diana continued her training with the Dartmouth team. “I had one leg, which meant I had to do it differently.” she later explained.

In 1982, Diana entered her first international ski race. She won the world Handicapped Championship in Norway. In 1986, Diana won the Beck Award given to the best American racer in international skiing. And in 1988, she was named Ski Racing Magazine’s U.S. Female Skier of the Year.

With her courage and determination, Diana has changed how people look at disabled athletes. “Everyone has some kind of disability,” Diana says. “It’s what we do with our abilities that matters.”

In 1990, Diana retired from racing for good.

24. What does the underlined phrase “dwell on” probably mean in paragraph 4?

A. Put away. B. Think about.

C. Leave behind. D. Hang over.

25. Which of the following is the correct order of the events happening to Diana?

a. Diana entered her first international ski race.

b. Diana was diagnosed with bone cancer.

c. She practiced skiing at the age of five.

d. Diana began training with the Dartmouth team.

e. She became a member of the US Disabled Ski Team.

A. bcade. B. cbdae. C. cbeda. D. bceda.

26. The writer probably wrote this text to ___________.

A. inform the readers about disabled skiers

B. describe the events in international ski competitions

C. tell about the disadvantages of being a disabled skier

D. inspire the readers with Diana’s courage and resolution

27. What would be the suitable title of this text?

A. Go for the gold B. Lose a leg

C. Ski to the last minute D. Compete for the disabled

C

Last fall my class and I went through an exercise to help the students understand how the world might address the climate crisis. Several things surprised the students. One was that nuclear power doesn’t help.

But many people think nuclear energy is going to be the climate solution. President Obama included federal loan guarantees for nuclear power in his energy plan, in the hopes of jump-starting construction and gain Republican support. (It did neither.) If I post something even faintly skeptical about nuclear power on Twitter, its advocates come out in force, accusing me of being a conservative, or worse.

What is it about nuclear energy that makes its advocates so determined in the face of what should be discouraging facts? After all, unlike futuristic, untried technologies, we have plenty of facts about this one, and most of them are discouraging. The first American civilian nuclear power plant broke ground in Pennsylvania in 1954, around the same time that physicist John von Neumann predicted that, within a few decades, nuclear power would be so efficient as to make energy “free—just like the unmetered air.” That didn’t happen. Today nuclear power remains the most expensive form of electricity generation in the U.S. -typically costing twice as much as a fossil-fuel-based plant.

Why then do so many people keep coming back to it? I think it’s the same reason people turn to geoengineering(气候工程) and nuclear fusion(聚变) (which has been “just around the corner” since 1943): the promise of technological progress. For the past century or more, humans have been accustomed to technological breakthroughs that made life easier, more comfortable and more entertaining. But climate change throws future advancement into doubt. It breaks the promise of progress. No matter what we do, we are going to be paying for the costs of our historical and current use of fossil fuels.

So we turn to technofideism- the faith that technology will save us. Perhaps it will. But perhaps it won’t, and our long-standing patterns of behavior will have to change along with our technology. And that’s a hard pill to swallow.

28. What is paragraph two mainly about?

A. Nuclear energy has lots of advocates.

B. The supporters of nuclear energy are unwise.

C. President Obama failed to conduct his energy plan.

D. Doubtful remarks about nuclear power will attract criticism.

29. What is the purpose of mentioning the first American civilian nuclear power plant ?

A. To show it was a groundbreaking project.

B. To compare nuclear power and fossil-fuel energy.

C. To prove nuclear power didn’t live up to people’s expectations.

D. To indicate we need futuristic, untried technologies rather than nuclear.

30. Why do people turn to technofideism?

A Because it can cut down the current use of fossil fuels.

B. Because we tend to trust technological breakthroughs.

C. Because people are skeptical about the promise of technology.

D. Because geoengineering and nuclear fusion have set a good example.

31. Which one is the writer’s attitude to nuclear energy?

A. Optimistic. B. Hesitant. C. Aggressive. D. Negative.

D

The word paradigm comes from the Greek. It was originally a scientific term, and is more commonly used today to mean a model or theory. In the more general sense, it’s the way we “see” the world — not in terms of our visual sense of sight, but in terms of perceiving, understanding, and interpreting.

A simple way to understand paradigms is to see them as maps. We all know that “the map is not the territory.” A map is simply an explanation of certain aspects of the territory. That’s exactly what a paradigm is. It is a theory, an explanation, or model of something else. You can never arrive at a specific location in a new city with a wrong map.

Each of us has many maps in our head, which can be divided into two main categories: maps of the way things are, or realities, and maps of the way things should be, or values. We interpret everything we experience through these mental maps. We seldom question their accuracy; we’re usually even unaware that we have them. We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of those assumptions. The way we see things is the source of the way we think and the way we act.

We see the world, not as it is, but as we are or, as we are conditioned to see it. Clearheaded people see things differently, each looking through the unique lens of experience. But this does not mean that there are no facts. Instead, each person’s interpretation of these facts represents prior experiences.

The more aware we are of our basic paradigms, maps, or assumptions, and the extent to which we have been influenced by our experience, the more we can take responsibility for those paradigms, examine them, test them against reality, listen to others and be open to their perceptions, thereby getting a larger picture and a far more objective view.

32 How does the author illustrate the concept of “paradigm”?

A. By comparing it to an everyday object. B. By sorting it into different categories.

C. By presenting personal examples. D. By highlighting a sharp contrast.

33. What can be concluded about the mental maps mentioned in paragraph 3?

A. They fail to escape our attention. B. They may be lacking in accuracy.

C. They prove wrong and unreliable. D. They have little influence on behavior.

34. Which of the following echoes the main idea of paragraph 4?

A. Great minds think alike. B. All men have opinions, but few think.

C. Where we stand depends on where we sit. D. The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinions.

35. What does the author advocate in the last paragraph?

A. A better understanding of our paradigms. B. A stronger sense of responsibility for others.

C. A more objective view of others’ perceptions. D. A more positive attitude toward life experience.

第二节(共5 小题;每小题2 分，满分10 分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Do you ever walk out of a room with an idea in your head, only to discover moments later that it’s gone?

____36____ These are cues (暗示) your memory uses to stop remembering, in the belief that a particular mental task is over. When you walk out of a room, you create such an event boundary, signaling to your brain that it can dump anything not firmly fixed in place.

Tests have proved that we’re much more forgetful when we move from one location to another. ____37____ It’s because anything that seems like the end of a task — such as finishing a phone call — can have the same effect. Within seconds, the information you revised is gone.

But here’s how to fight back.

First, stop telling your brain that its work is done. This can be as simple as leaving a book open instead of putting it back on the shelf. Second, create clues to carry with you across any unavoidable event boundary. ____38____ And spend a moment strengthening your memory.

If possible, say the key points out loud: the job you’re walking off to do in the next room, for example. And picture the details you want to keep, because using imagery is an effective way to improve memory. ____39____ Or see yourself meeting your friend in the park.

It can even help to do something physical, like crossing your fingers. Your brain will see this as part of the activity — which can’t have finished yet, because your fingers are still crossed!

____40____ But by avoiding them when you can, and disguising them when you can’t, you’ll find that much less of your learning gets lost.

A. Focus on one task at a time.

B. Digital distractions can cause memory loss.

C. Visualize the key steps in the baking process.

D. The problem is often caused by “event boundaries”.

E. Notice when one of these end-points to learning is coming up.

F. But the same happens when we go from one activity to another, too.

G. Every day you’re faced with event boundaries that restrict your recall.

Anthony was the first to____54____. Several days later, Terrell joined him, ____55____ by twins Sandy and Randy. Before long, I had a room full of eighth graders to work on their lessons. I never asked why any of them was there, but I soon had a large____56____ of “I don’t have my homework because...” stories. All were very____57____. None were amusing. The things I learned weren’t____58____ in college. I discovered not all kids come from homes that are safe and____59____. Not all kids have a quiet bedroom with a desk and study light.

Dear Ms Zhang,

I’m writing to express my gratitude. You are the very person who gave me a hand when necessarily. One month ago, with the College Entrance Examination at the corner, I was nervous and in low spirit. I was afraid of letting my parents down because of their average academic performance. When I was at loss, as my headteacher, so you asked me to go to your office. Instead of blame me, you comforted me. More unforgettably, you help me with my study and always inspired me. Gradually, I learned what to adjust myself and stayed calm during the College Entrance Examination.

Ms. Zhang, I’m more than grateful for what you have done for me. Wish you happiness and good healthy.

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua
