第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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
The Great Wall, China
Stretching over 21,000 kilometers, the Great Wall was built to prevent invasions and has a history of more than 2,000 years. UNESCO in February 2019 calls it an absolute masterpiece, not only because of the ambitious character of the undertaking but also the perfection of its construction.”
But perfection isn’t protection. 51.2 percent of the Great Wall had either already disappeared or is at a significant risk of disappearing. Besides for wind and rain erosion, the main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall are human factors such as tourism, construction, human contact and so on.
Pamukkale，Turkey
Pamukkale, which means “cotton castle” in Turkish, is famous for its shining white calcite terraces (方解石阶地)with warm and mineral-rich waters overrun.
Before being listed as a World Heritage Site in 1988, Pamukkale had been severely damaged by human activities. People used hot spring water to fill swimming pools, some visitors stood on the rocks and some even bathed in the hot springs with soap and shampoo. To protect the terraces, the Turkish government has decided to pull down the hotels and require all tourists to visit this site barefoot.
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Home to 400 types of coral and 1,500 species of fish, the Great Barrier Reef draws visitors to Australia from all over the world.
However, the Great Barrier Reef is expected to suffer from increasingly frequent bleaching events, cases in which corals turn white and may die, according to a UNESCO report. The heat waves caused by global warming have killed half of the coral here in the two years, according to a CNN report. Pollution from industry developments and harmful fishing practices are also big concerns.
The Dead Sea, Jordan
At 423 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is 10 times saltier than the ocean, meaning that the water is so dense, even tourists who can9t swim will be able to float.
But the seaside resorts built in the 1980s now sit kilometers away from the water’s edge, which has lost half of its surface area in the past 40 years. The damage is irreversible due to the nature of the mineral industry and the type of agricultural use that has drained the water.
21．Which are you required to visit without shoes?
A．The Great Wall, China. B．Pamukkale, Turkey.
C．Great Barrier Reef, Australia. D．The Dead Sea, Jordan.
22．Which of the following statements is true?
A．Main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall come from wind and rain erosion.
B．Pamukkale was damaged by human activities after 1988.
C．Pollution and the heat waves caused by global warming kill much coral in the Great Barrier Reef.
D．Half of the Dead Sea surface area has disappeared in the past two decades.
23．What do the above spots have in common?
A．They are all famous endangered natural spots.
B．They’re damaged only from human activities.
C．They all draw the attention of the governments.
D．They’re all seriously damaged.
B
For years, Chris Scharoun DeForge had a Valentine's Day routine. She celebrated like clockwork with her husband Paul Scharoun DeForge. On Valentine's Day they would go out to eat, maybe at Red Lobster or Olive Garden. They were celebrating each other.
But this year's Valentine's Day may be the most unusual one yet. That's because it is their 25th as husband and wife, a landmark that would be significant for most couples but it's extraordinary for the Scharoun DeForges. They were both born with Down syndrome and are believed to be the longest married couple with the condition in the country.
At the time of their wedding, some folks believed that people like them didn't have the emotional maturity to be married. Chris, who as a girl used to cut wedding photos from magazines and hang them on her wall knew better. “I looked into his eyes and saw my future,” Chris said about falling in love with Paul when they first met at a dance 30 years ago.
Still, they have had their struggles. And the most recent one may be the most monumental (极大的). This year's Valentine's Day is the first on which they won't be living together. Paul, 54, is coping with early stage dementia, an illness that affects many with his condition at a relatively young age. Several months ago, the state moved him into a community residence (住处) with intensive nursing care while Chris still lives in their cozy apartment in Liverpool.
Of course Chris doesn't want to be without him. Their family worked hard to keep them together. They even found a new apartment that met the state's standards. At first, the state agreed-a huge victory-but Paul's condition continued to deteriorate. By that time he was using a wheelchair and required round-the-clock care. The state decided he needed to move to the facility after all.
The couple is disappointed but not scared. Chris visits Paul regularly and they spend weekends together. Chris’s sister said they had an unconditional and sweet love.
24．Why is this year’s Valentine’s Day special to the Scharoun DeForges?
A．They will go out to eat at Red Lobster.
B．Their marriage was believed not to last so long.
C．They won’t be living together for the first time.
D．It is their 25th as a couple despite their Down syndrome.
25．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deteriorate”?
A．change B．better C．worsen D．switch
26．What can we learn from the couple according to the passage?
A．They fell in love with each other at first sight.
B．They still can meet each other on a regular basis.
C．They had difficulty celebrating Valentine's Day together.
D．They moved into a community residence together.
27．What may be the best title for the text?
A．Struggles against Down syndrome B．A love without limits
C．A Valentine’s Day’s celebration D．A couple forced to get separated
C
Dealing with obesity is difficult. A lot of factors such as ethnicity, genetics, lifestyle, and personal habits should be considered in the management of obesity. Obesity, if not properly managed, can lead to a lot of health problems that may later evolve into life-threatening diseases.
The management of obesity mostly focuses on lifestyle changes. Reaching your healthy weight involves proper management of your diet and exercise. The obese person may seek the help of a dietitian or a personal trainer.
There are a lot of diets that have gained popularity. However, it is best that you consult your dietitian on what is best for you. Furthermore, your dietitian would consider your food preferences. If you are a little low in the budget, take into consideration the current dietary recommendations that were based on the food pyramid. This is researchable on the Internet. You can use this as a guide on how much you are supposed to eat.
Exercise has a lot of benefits. It burns those extra calories and prevents different health problems from occurring. Thus, exercise is vital if you wish to lose weight. People are often too lazy to engage in exercise. However, there are numerous alternatives to the-usual exercise routine. If you want things to be plain, walking or biking is a good exercise. It is important that you stick to your exercise plan so that you would achieve your desired results. However, you must set realistic goals so as not to be disappointed.
Behavioral changes are vital to conquering obesity. Those who engage in crash diets are mostly unsuccessful in weight management because they do not have any behavioral change.
Sedentary lifestyle contributes to weight gain. Perhaps adding physical activity to your schedule would help in weight management. Physical activity could be as simple as dancing around the house or just plain strolling along the mall.
28．Why is obesity a severe problem?
A．It may threaten your life. B．It can influence your work.
C．It may make you look unattractive. D．It can prevent you from playing sports.
29．What should you do if you don't have much money?
A．Turn to an expert. B．Refer to eating advice.
C．Mainly eat energy-giving food. D．Seldom have nutritious food.
30．Why should you set practical aims?
A．You will never feel disappointed. B．They will make you go on.
C．You will carry out simple things. D．They will make you feel relaxed.
31．What does the underlined word “Sedentary” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Unhealthy. B．Overeating. C．Unchangeable. D．Inactive.
D
It‟s no secret that American infrastructure is aging. Concrete(混凝土) structures, in particular, are in desperate need of repair.
Cracks (缝隙) are very common due to various chemical and physical phenomena that occur during everyday use, which can be quite harmful as they provide an easy route in for liquids and gasses and the harmful substances they might contain. But continuous repair work is difficult because it usually requires a huge amount of labor and investment. So since 2013, I‟ve been trying to figure out how these harmful cracks could heal themselves without human involvement. The idea was originally inspired by the amazing ability of the human body to heal itself of cuts, bruises and broken bones. In the same way, can we provide necessary products to concrete to fill in cracks when damage happens?
My colleagues from Binghamton University and I have found an unusual candidate to help concrete heal itself: a fungus (真菌) called Trichoderma reesei. We initially screened about 20 different species of fungi in order to find one that could stand the difficult conditions in concrete. Of all the fungi we tested, only T. reesei could survive this environment. Despite the sudden PHincrease, its spores (孢子) developed into threadlike things and grew equally well with or without concrete.
We propose including fungal spores, together with nutrients, during the initial mixing process when building a new concrete structure. When the unavoidable cracking occurs and water finds its way in, the sleeping fungal spores will start to grow. They then will work as an activator within the calcium-rich conditions of the concrete to promote precipitation (析出) of calcium carbonatecrystals. These mineral deposits can fill in the cracks. If cracks form again and environmental conditions become favorable, the spores could wake up and repeat the process.
Our research is still in the initial stage and there’s a long way to go to make self-healing concrete practical and cost-effective. But the scope of American infrastructure’s challenges makes exploring creative solutions like this worthwhile.
32．Why does the author mention the self-healing of human body?
A．To show how amazing human body is.
B．To prove everything will turn out to be fine.
C．To provide a possibility of concrete healing itself.
D．To stress that it’s unnecessary to have medicines.
33．What do we know about T. reesei?
A．It has been applied to building a new concrete.
B．It can bear the tough conditions in concrete.
C．Its spores will be useless after one repair.
D．It poses potential risks to environment.
34．What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．The challenges of American infrastructure. B．The research on self-healing concrete.
C．The process of cracking. D．The promotion of spores.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．The Danger of Cracks B．The Aging of American Infrastructure
C．The Most Powerful Fungus D．Concrete Filling Its Own Cracks

Dear Mayor，
Recently，the environmental protection department has issued a report concerning the noise pollution among China’s major cities．According to the report，our city，Guiyang，is faced with the most serious noise pollution，exceeding the super cities like Beijing and Shanghai and ranking the first in the list．
This phenomenon has drawn my great concern．From my point of view，the heavy noise pollution mainly comes from the ongoing increase of private cars and large scale city construction，which bring much inconvenience to people’s life．To ensure the living quality of our citizens，I suggest that the government should formulate some rules to limit the increase of private cars．Also，some facilities should be built and more trees planted to reduce the noise from city construction．
I hope my suggestions will be helpful and thank you for your reading．
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

But perfection isn’t protection. 51.2 percent of the Great Wall had either already disappeared or is at a significant risk of disappearing. Besides for wind and rain erosion, the main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall are human factors such as tourism, construction, human contact and so on.
Pamukkale，Turkey
Pamukkale, which means “cotton castle” in Turkish, is famous for its shining white calcite terraces (方解石阶地)with warm and mineral-rich waters overrun.
Before being listed as a World Heritage Site in 1988, Pamukkale had been severely damaged by human activities. People used hot spring water to fill swimming pools, some visitors stood on the rocks and some even bathed in the hot springs with soap and shampoo. To protect the terraces, the Turkish government has decided to pull down the hotels and require all tourists to visit this site barefoot.
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Home to 400 types of coral and 1,500 species of fish, the Great Barrier Reef draws visitors to Australia from all over the world.
However, the Great Barrier Reef is expected to suffer from increasingly frequent bleaching events, cases in which corals turn white and may die, according to a UNESCO report. The heat waves caused by global warming have killed half of the coral here in the two years, according to a CNN report. Pollution from industry developments and harmful fishing practices are also big concerns.
The Dead Sea, Jordan
At 423 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is 10 times saltier than the ocean, meaning that the water is so dense, even tourists who can9t swim will be able to float.
But the seaside resorts built in the 1980s now sit kilometers away from the water’s edge, which has lost half of its surface area in the past 40 years. The damage is irreversible due to the nature of the mineral industry and the type of agricultural use that has drained the water.

For years, Chris Scharoun DeForge had a Valentine's Day routine. She celebrated like clockwork with her husband Paul Scharoun DeForge. On Valentine's Day they would go out to eat, maybe at Red Lobster or Olive Garden. They were celebrating each other.
But this year's Valentine's Day may be the most unusual one yet. That's because it is their 25th as husband and wife, a landmark that would be significant for most couples but it's extraordinary for the Scharoun DeForges. They were both born with Down syndrome and are believed to be the longest married couple with the condition in the country.
At the time of their wedding, some folks believed that people like them didn't have the emotional maturity to be married. Chris, who as a girl used to cut wedding photos from magazines and hang them on her wall knew better. “I looked into his eyes and saw my future,” Chris said about falling in love with Paul when they first met at a dance 30 years ago.
Still, they have had their struggles. And the most recent one may be the most monumental (极大的). This year's Valentine's Day is the first on which they won't be living together. Paul, 54, is coping with early stage dementia, an illness that affects many with his condition at a relatively young age. Several months ago, the state moved him into a community residence (住处) with intensive nursing care while Chris still lives in their cozy apartment in Liverpool.
Of course Chris doesn't want to be without him. Their family worked hard to keep them together. They even found a new apartment that met the state's standards. At first, the state agreed-a huge victory-but Paul's condition continued to deteriorate. By that time he was using a wheelchair and required round-the-clock care. The state decided he needed to move to the facility after all.
The couple is disappointed but not scared. Chris visits Paul regularly and they spend weekends together. Chris’s sister said they had an unconditional and sweet love.
24．Why is this year’s Valentine’s Day special to the Scharoun DeForges?
A．They will go out to eat at Red Lobster.
B．Their marriage was believed not to last so long.
C．They won’t be living together for the first time.
D．It is their 25th as a couple despite their Down syndrome.
25．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deteriorate”?
A．change B．better C．worsen D．switch
26．What can we learn from the couple according to the passage?
A．They fell in love with each other at first sight.
B．They still can meet each other on a regular basis.
C．They had difficulty celebrating Valentine's Day together.
D．They moved into a community residence together.
27．What may be the best title for the text?
A．Struggles against Down syndrome B．A love without limits
C．A Valentine’s Day’s celebration D．A couple forced to get separated

Dealing with obesity is difficult. A lot of factors such as ethnicity, genetics, lifestyle, and personal habits should be considered in the management of obesity. Obesity, if not properly managed, can lead to a lot of health problems that may later evolve into life-threatening diseases.
The management of obesity mostly focuses on lifestyle changes. Reaching your healthy weight involves proper management of your diet and exercise. The obese person may seek the help of a dietitian or a personal trainer.
There are a lot of diets that have gained popularity. However, it is best that you consult your dietitian on what is best for you. Furthermore, your dietitian would consider your food preferences. If you are a little low in the budget, take into consideration the current dietary recommendations that were based on the food pyramid. This is researchable on the Internet. You can use this as a guide on how much you are supposed to eat.
Exercise has a lot of benefits. It burns those extra calories and prevents different health problems from occurring. Thus, exercise is vital if you wish to lose weight. People are often too lazy to engage in exercise. However, there are numerous alternatives to the-usual exercise routine. If you want things to be plain, walking or biking is a good exercise. It is important that you stick to your exercise plan so that you would achieve your desired results. However, you must set realistic goals so as not to be disappointed.
Behavioral changes are vital to conquering obesity. Those who engage in crash diets are mostly unsuccessful in weight management because they do not have any behavioral change.
Sedentary lifestyle contributes to weight gain. Perhaps adding physical activity to your schedule would help in weight management. Physical activity could be as simple as dancing around the house or just plain strolling along the mall.
28．Why is obesity a severe problem?
A．It may threaten your life. B．It can influence your work.
C．It may make you look unattractive. D．It can prevent you from playing sports.
29．What should you do if you don't have much money?
A．Turn to an expert. B．Refer to eating advice.
C．Mainly eat energy-giving food. D．Seldom have nutritious food.
30．Why should you set practical aims?
A．You will never feel disappointed. B．They will make you go on.
C．You will carry out simple things. D．They will make you feel relaxed.
31．What does the underlined word “Sedentary” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Unhealthy. B．Overeating. C．Unchangeable. D．Inactive.

It‟s no secret that American infrastructure is aging. Concrete(混凝土) structures, in particular, are in desperate need of repair.
Cracks (缝隙) are very common due to various chemical and physical phenomena that occur during everyday use, which can be quite harmful as they provide an easy route in for liquids and gasses and the harmful substances they might contain. But continuous repair work is difficult because it usually requires a huge amount of labor and investment. So since 2013, I‟ve been trying to figure out how these harmful cracks could heal themselves without human involvement. The idea was originally inspired by the amazing ability of the human body to heal itself of cuts, bruises and broken bones. In the same way, can we provide necessary products to concrete to fill in cracks when damage happens?
My colleagues from Binghamton University and I have found an unusual candidate to help concrete heal itself: a fungus (真菌) called Trichoderma reesei. We initially screened about 20 different species of fungi in order to find one that could stand the difficult conditions in concrete. Of all the fungi we tested, only T. reesei could survive this environment. Despite the sudden PHincrease, its spores (孢子) developed into threadlike things and grew equally well with or without concrete.
We propose including fungal spores, together with nutrients, during the initial mixing process when building a new concrete structure. When the unavoidable cracking occurs and water finds its way in, the sleeping fungal spores will start to grow. They then will work as an activator within the calcium-rich conditions of the concrete to promote precipitation (析出) of calcium carbonatecrystals. These mineral deposits can fill in the cracks. If cracks form again and environmental conditions become favorable, the spores could wake up and repeat the process.
Our research is still in the initial stage and there’s a long way to go to make self-healing concrete practical and cost-effective. But the scope of American infrastructure’s challenges makes exploring creative solutions like this worthwhile.
32．Why does the author mention the self-healing of human body?
A．To show how amazing human body is.
B．To prove everything will turn out to be fine.
C．To provide a possibility of concrete healing itself.
D．To stress that it’s unnecessary to have medicines.
33．What do we know about T. reesei?
A．It has been applied to building a new concrete.
B．It can bear the tough conditions in concrete.
C．Its spores will be useless after one repair.
D．It poses potential risks to environment.
34．What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．The challenges of American infrastructure. B．The research on self-healing concrete.
C．The process of cracking. D．The promotion of spores.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．The Danger of Cracks B．The Aging of American Infrastructure
C．The Most Powerful Fungus D．Concrete Filling Its Own Cracks

Dear Mayor，
Recently，the environmental protection department has issued a report concerning the noise pollution among China’s major cities．According to the report，our city，Guiyang，is faced with the most serious noise pollution，exceeding the super cities like Beijing and Shanghai and ranking the first in the list．
This phenomenon has drawn my great concern．From my point of view，the heavy noise pollution mainly comes from the ongoing increase of private cars and large scale city construction，which bring much inconvenience to people’s life．To ensure the living quality of our citizens，I suggest that the government should formulate some rules to limit the increase of private cars．Also，some facilities should be built and more trees planted to reduce the noise from city construction．
I hope my suggestions will be helpful and thank you for your reading．
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
