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,从每题所给的四个选项(A.、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Do you often feel tired in the morning even though you’ve been in bed for seven or eight hours the night before? Like many people, you are not sleeping as much as you think you are. In other words, your sleep efficiency is not that good.
Sleep experts define “sleep efficiency” as the percentage of time lying down that you are actually sleeping. According to journalism website , the science of sleep efficiency is still young. There is no specific number for efficiency that’s been proven as linked to poor health. However, according to a New York Times report about sleep quality, some experts estimate a rough range of 85 percent or above as a reasonable place to be. Therefore, some tips for improving sleep efficiency are as follows:
Keep a consistent(一致的) sleep schedule
Go to bed and wake up at the same time, or relatively the same time, every day. Consistency is key to a good night’s sleep, especially when it comes to waking up. When you have a consistent wake-up time, your brain adapts to this and moves through the sleep cycle in preparation for you to feel rested and alert at your wakeup time.
Avoid blue light at night
Blue light given off by the screens of computers, iPads and smartphones makes you feel more alert. Blue light tells your brain it’s daytime. Experts suggest turning off your computers and smartphones 1 hour or at least 30 minutes before bed.
Take naps
If you aren’t getting enough sleep at night, you’re likely going to feel a strong desire to sleep in the afternoon. When this happens, you’re better off taking a short nap than turning to caffeine or strong tea to keep you awake. A short nap will give you the rest you need to get through the rest of the afternoon, and you’ll sleep much better in the evening.
21. According to the passage, we can learn that sleep efficiency .
A. is an advanced way to measure sleep quality
B. has close relationship with the state of health
C. is decided by the time you are lying in bed
D. can be greatly improved with certain measures taken
22. Which of the following may contribute to a better sleep in the evening?
A. Taking a long afternoon nap. B. Sleeping for a while in the daytime.
C. Having a fixed go-to-bed time. D. Avoiding blue light in the evening.
23. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Enough sleep will lead to a changeable wake-up time.
B. Blue light will affect the sleep due to its harm to the brains.
C. Waking up two hours before the body clocks means good sleep efficiency.
D. 90% for sleep efficiency can possibly mean a quite good sleep state.
24. What will be the best title of the passage?
A. Schedule your bedtime. B. Sleep well to be well.
C. Ensure long sleeping hours. D. Know more about your sleep.
B
The year 2014, for the world, was a year seeing transformation, conflicts, disease and instability. Together, let’s look back on some major events that influenced and rocked the world.
Ebola outbreak
Ebola’s an infectious(传染的) disease that causes fever, bleeding and even death and requires the entire world to act. It first broke out in African country of Guinea in February 2014 and quickly spread to other West African countries and even to the US and Europe. So far, the virus has claimed about 7,000 lives. Facing the virus, the international community showed a united front by sending in supplies and medical workers. Hundreds of doctors and nurses died for saving lives in West Africa.
US police killings
Police killings of unarmed blacks have caused nationwide protests and drawn new attention to racial tensions and the problem of how to carry out the law. An unarmed black man, 43-year-old Eric Garner, was killed by a white officer in New York in July. In August, another white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, shot dead unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown. In late 2014, local grand juries(大陪审团) decided not to charge the officers, which led to nationwide protests.
APEC blue
“APEC blue” became a popular word after clear blue skies appeared due to pollution control measures during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings held in Beijing in November, reflecting the government’s efforts to reduce pollution and public’s desire for clean air. During the APEC meetings, Beijing and its surrounding regions took temporary measures to cut emissions (排放) such as limiting car use.
Crisis (危机) in Ukraine
It started in November 2013, when then Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych stopped talks on a political and trade deal with the EU, saying Ukraine will strengthen ties with Russia. The decision led to massive protests. Then, pro-Russian officials (officials who are for Russia) in Crimea, which is in eastern Ukraine, declared independence and decided to join Russia. Later, pro-Russian rebels(反叛者) in other parts of Eastern Ukraine began to have conflicts with Ukrainian government forces. The west responded with punishment against Russia, which, coupled with falling oil prices, has dealt a blow to Russian economy.
25. Ebola has caused many deaths due to ______.
A. its outbreak in a poor African country B. its infection and quick spread
C. little action taken from the entire world D. no obvious symptoms following
26. The popularity of the term “APEC blue” shows _____.
A. the public want more government’s measures to regain blue skies
B. Chinese government’s determined to fight against air pollution
C. APEC has made great contribution to the world pollution reduction
D. permanent actions should be taken to reduce vehicle emissions
27. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. China took tough measures to stop pollution during the APEC meetings.
B. In the USA, nationwide protests were caused by the police killings.
C. Hundreds of doctors and nurses died when saving Ebola patients in Africa.
D. The west made use of Crisis in Ukraine to propose punishment for Russia.
C
The human population of Sri Lanka is now believed to be over 20 million. As a result, large areas of trees are being turned into farmland, highways are being built over centuries-old elephant migration routes, and elephants are being driven out of their habitats. This change causes turmoil, resulting in an increased number of uncontrollable events between elephants and humans.
The good news is that there is one place called the Elephant Transit Home (ETH) in Udawalawe National Park, the main purpose of which is to protect and care for baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild. A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk. During the course of the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. Older elephants are fed mostly coconut leaves as well as other native plants. Then the elephants are set free to wander in the park, eating growing grass and forming a herd.
The ETH spends almost $125,000 each year on powered milk for these baby animals. To help pay for food and medical supplies, the ETH has a foster(领养)parent program. Anyone, even schoolchildren, can help a lot by giving money to care for a baby elephant. While some foster parents are too far away to visit the baby elephant being cared for at the ETH, local schoolchildren play an important part in the program. Foster parents can name their elephants, take photographs of them, and even help send them back into the wild.
Now visitors are not encouraged to get close to the elephants. The goal of the ETH is for the elephants to return to the wild in the end. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be sent back into its natural habitat. The elephants are often set free together with other animals with whom they have close relationships. This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.
does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. A condition of harmony. B. A phenomenon of pollution.
C. A state of disorder. D. A feeling of confusion.
29. According to the passage, the elephants at the ETH ______.
A. are taken care of by different means B. don’t get along well with other animals
C. mainly live on coconut leaves D. are fed separately all the time
30. As a foster parent at the ETH, you can ______.
A. take photos with the elephant B. give the elephant you care for a name
C. take the elephant home for better care D. visit Udawalawe National Park free of charge
31. The last paragraph mainly deals with ______ at the ETH.
A. the process of raising a young elephant B. the life of the baby elephants
C. the future of the elephants D. the requirements for being a foster parent
D
Can you change your personality significantly? For example, if you are shy, can you turn yourself into an outgoing person who never gets stage fright when speaking in public? It’s certainly not easy, but experts say it is possible.
First of all, you will never stay the same person. The Times reports several research studies conducted over the past few years show a person’s personality naturally changes over time in response to life events such as entering a committed relationship or advancing in the career. From the ages of 20 to 65, people report increases in positive characteristics. Most people tend to become more agreeable, more responsible, more emotionally stable. Their personalities improve as they mature.
When researchers talk about “personality”, they mean “characteristic pattern of thinking, feeling and behaving that is consistent over time and across situations,” says Christopher Soto, a research psychologist in Britain, who also mentioned that personality is about 50 percent born and 50 percent learned.
Psychologists usually divide human personality into 5 models: openness, conscientiousness(尽责), agreeableness, neuroticism(神经质)and outgoingness. Some personality types are more successful than others. Accordingly, even small changes in a person’s personality can produce important effects on relationships, career, health and happiness. But change takes time. And people need to start by changing the behavior and then, if that new behavior can be maintained over time, it gets settled.
Where do we start? “First, we have to recognize which pieces of our personality affect us,” says Richard Levak, a well-known personality expert. “If I am always getting fired because I get into arguments with co-workers, and always blame others, then I have to realize that I have to change something.”
“Don’t set your expectations too high. Be patient. It’s important to start small.” Warren Kennaugh, a behavioral expert in Australia says. “You also should let a friend or relative know what you’re doing. Not only can they be supportive, but a change for you can also mean a change for them.”
32. We can learn from the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs that ______.
A. a small part of one’s personality is born with them
B. personality changes significantly in childhood
C. personality can be changed because of life events
D. positive personality changes take place before 65
33. The underlined part means that to your friends or relatives, _______.
A. your personality change will not be successful without their support
B. they should be told beforehand to prepare for your personality change
C. your personality change will be a model for them to follow
D. they may change their personality in the same way you do
34. According to the passage, personality change needs ______.
a. proper time b. appropriate self-awareness
c. strong determination d. high expectations
A. a, b B. b, c C. a, d D. d, c
35. What’s the tone of the passage?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Humorous. D. Objective.

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。
Imagine what you could do with a machine that could make things disappear.
36 In the books of J.R.R. Tolkein, Bilbo Baggins finds a ring that can make him disappear. Of course, there’s also poor Harry Potter, who used his invisibility cloak (隐形斗篷)to hide from danger.
Now that you’ve got some ideas, it’s time for the hard part: building the cloak. 37 An invisibility cloak has to cheat anything or anyone who might be watching. In order to understand how something can be seen, it’s important to understand how we see.
Human beings can only see objects that reflect light waves. These waves enter the eyes and are then processed by the brain. However, if an object doesn’t reflect light, then the waves don’t enter the eyes, and the brain doesn’t process. 38
Cummer was part of a team of scientists from Duke University, including David Smith and David Schurig, who built the world’s first version of an invisibility cloak. 39 He in May said that an invisibility cloak was possible and Pendry was not the only one thinking about a disappearing act. At the same time, a Scottish physicist, Ulf Leonhardt published a paper on building invisibility equipment.
“It wasn’t easy,” says Cummer. “As often happens in science and research, it didn’t work very well the first time. That first cloak didn’t work like Harry Potter’s — 40 So the research is still under way.”
d you like an invisibility cloak that works just like the one Harry Potter got from his father?
scientists didn’t actually see anything disappear.
building an invisibility cloak is building something that doesn’t reflect light.
archers in England and the USA have found the materials to build such a cloak.
had been inspired by the work of a British physicist, John Pendry.
inspiration, you could read some books.
do that, you have to give up science fiction and turn to real science.

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by zxxk the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”
did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
remember the birth of jazz.
protect cultural diversity.
encourage people to study music.
recognize the value of jazz.
does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
becoming more accessible.
production of jazz growing faster.
being less popular with the young.
jazz audience becoming larger.
can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
will disappear gradually.
remains black and white.
should keep up with the times.
changes every 50 years.
h of the following can be the best title for the text?
oring the Future of Jazz.

A buld-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5'
5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container— perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment zxxk out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
32. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
A. It’s delicate. B. It’s expensive.
C. It’s complex. D. It’s portable.
33. What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The tube. B. The still.
C. The hole. D. The cup.
34. What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still?
A. Dig a hole of a certain size. B. Put the cup in place.
C. Weight the sheet’s center down. D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
35. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup form .
A. the plastic tube B. outside the hole
C. the open air D. beneath the sheet

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36 .
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community(医学界) 61 a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side 62 (effect) such as overweight and heart disease-the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.
Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 63 (process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 64 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if is missing something. As 65 result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even 66 (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food
67 (be) full of fat and salt; by 68 (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.
Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be 69 (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, 70 is not good for the health.

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor’s orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank. I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed up!” “Slow down!” “Turning left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.
