第二部分 阅读理解（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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Many animal species worldwide have become endangered. Here are some of the most endangered animals.
Whooping crane (高鸣鹤)
It is the tallest North American flying bird. In 1938, the first year when a population survey was done, only 29 whooping cranes remained in the wild. Three years later, only 16 were left. Hunting and the decrease of their habitats had harmed the population. Great efforts to save the birds did not begin until the late 1960s. Today, there are over 500 whooping cranes, thanks in large part to new breeding (繁殖) programs.
Blue whale
There are fewer than 25,000 blue whales, the largest animals on the planet. Blue whales are found in all of the world’s oceans but the Arctic Ocean. Today their population has decreased by 90% because of humans’ hunting or killing in the 20th century. Hunting of the species for sale was forbidden in 1966. The National Marine Fisheries Service of the US explained a recovery plan in detail in 1998.
Asian elephant
The best guess of IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) on today’s population of Asian elephants in 13 countries is around 40,000-50,000. That number may be far lower. Over 50% of the population is in India. The increasing human population there—and elsewhere in Asia—creates conflicts (冲突) for space and resources. And while the long teeth of Asian elephants are much smaller than those of African elephants, the Asian elephants are still killed for their ivory, meat, and skin.
Snow leopard (雪豹)
Though it’s called a leopard, the snow leopard is actually more closely related to the tiger. Probably fewer than 7,500 snow leopards remain in the wild. The largest populations are in China and Mongolia, with large populations in India and Kyrgyzstan as well. The snow leopard usually hunts blue sheep as its food, but in some areas, it heavily depends on home-raised animals. The farmers who depend upon the animals shoot the “problem” snow leopards
21. What mainly helped the increase of whooping cranes’ population
A. The building of their habitats.
B. The prevention of humans from hunting them.
C. The programs that help them have young ones.
D. The great efforts that aimed to save them before the 1960s.
22. What problem do elephants in India face
A. They’re being driven to other Asian countries.
B. Their ivories have become popular in recent years.
C. 50%of the population has been killed for their skin.
D. They are losing their habitats.
23. Which of the following is a good way to help protect the snow leopard
A. Providing more food for them.
B. Helping them live in different countries.
C. Creating new breeding programs for them.
D. Solving the conflicts between them and farmers.
B
Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Nowadays, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms.
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. “There’s definitely a positive impact. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other, “says Katie Davis, a co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships,” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your pictures or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
24. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To summarize the text. B. To bring up a discussion.
C. To tell about true friends. D. To encourage online friendships.
25. What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3
A. In person. B. In advance. C. In silence. D. In a word.
26. What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication
A. Worried. B. Positive. C. Confused. D. Unconcerned.
27. What view does Rosen hold
A. It’s wise to turn to friends online.
B. It’s easier to develop friendships in reality.
C. Social media help people stay closely connected.
D. Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.
C
Far from the land of Antarctica (南极洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod (南极鳕).
For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death It must have some secrets. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.
Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fish’s blood and measured its freezing point.
The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88℃ and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05℃. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.
The scientists’ next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish’s blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.
Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules (分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein.
28. What is the text mainly about
A. The ice shelf around Antarctica.
B. Protection of the Antarctic cod.
C. The terrible conditions in Antarctic.
D. A special fish living in freezing waters.
29. Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature
A. It loves to live in the ice-salt mixture
B. A special protein keeps it from freezing.
C. The seawater has a temperature of -1.88℃.
D. Its blood has a temperature lower than -2.05℃.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. The fish’s blood. B. The sugar molecule.
C. A newly found protein. D. A type of ice-salt mixture.
31. What does “glyco” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean
A. Sugar. B. Ice. C. Blood. D. Molecule.
D
Blue Planet Ⅱ’s latest episode (情节) is about how plastic is having a terrible effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers have also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastic, plastic is a very recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade (十年) that plastic packaging began gaining popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastic pollution research, for example, is still a very early science.
We put all the plastic into the environment, but we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is expected to kill millions of sea animals every year. Hundreds of species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their stomach. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastic regularly. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastic in our seas. Humans are consuming plastic through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean waste deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag — when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
32. Why is plastic pollution research still a very early science
A. The plastic pollution research is too difficult.
B. Plastic has produced less pollution than coal.
C. Plastic has gained popularity too fast for science to catch up.
D. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastic.
33. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3
A. By presenting reliable data.
B. By citing quotes from leading experts.
C. By making a comparison and contrast.
D. By listing examples from his own experiences.
34. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A. We reap what we sow.
B. The shortest answer is doing.
C. All things are difficult before they are easy.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The oceans become choked with plastic.
B. Ocean plastic is a global problem.
C. Blue Planet has left viewers heartbroken.
D. Plastic gains in popularity all over the world.

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。
Many students study by reading their notes and textbooks over and over again. But studies show there are more effective ways to help you study smarter.
36
Many students know what they are expected to do. Yet many often fail to plan ahead So they need first to set a reachable target. Break it into pieces and make them happen one by one. It may seem strange at first. But after two weeks or more, it becomes a normal thing.
Don’t just reread.
37 Rereading is like looking at the answer to a puzzle, rather than doing it yourself. It seems that it makes sense. But until you try it yourself, you don’t really know whether you understand it.
Find examples.
Abstract concepts can be hard to understand. It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something. 38 On its own, that concept might be hard to remember. But if you think about a lemon or vinegar, it becomes easier!
Dig deeper.
It’s hard to remember countless facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about Why do they matter Psychologists call this elaboration (深究). It’s taking class material and asking many how and why questions about it. 39
Practice more.
Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. 40 In a study, students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test, they scored more than a full letter grade better, on average, than the students who studied the way they normally had.
A. Make a budget and save it.
B. Make a plan and stick to it.
C. The same should go for learning.
D. However, not all can apply to students.
E. In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value.
F. Sadly, reading books and notes repeatedly is common for many students
G. For instance, sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn’t walking in his usual way. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.
Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow and long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour — walking cautiously to the woods, and then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill the water he carried. Branches and thorns slapped (拍打) his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I came closer, I saw the most amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them, at the sight of which I almost screamed for him to get away. A buck (雄鹿) was dangerously close, but it neither threatened Billy nor even moved as Billy knelt down. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with great effort to lap (up the water in my boy’s hands.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已给出。
Paragraph 1
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. ___________________________________
