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
BURNING MAN (BLACK ROCK DESERT, NEVADA)
Burning Man started in 1986, when Larry Harvey and Jerry James assembled(组装) a 8-
foot tall wooden figure and pulled it to San Francisco’s Baker Beach. They lit it on fire, a
curious crowd of around 20 people watched it burn, and thus one of the world’s wildest
parties was born.
It takes place from the last Sunday in August to Labor Day(the first Monday of
September). Once a gathering of friends and family, the festival is now a feast to the wonder
of self-expression, attracting tourists from all around the world.
CARNIVAL (RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL)
Arguably the biggest festival in the world, Brazil’s Carnival attracts nearly 5 million
people each year, with a half-million or so being visitors.
Historically, Carnival is a religious celebration. The Brazil festival takes place in
February or March. So picture 5 million people who’ve been baking in the heat for months,
preparing to give up the things they love for 40 days, set loose in a city filled with lively
music and various dancers.
LA TOMATINA (VALENCIA, SPAIN)
Launched way back in 1945, La Tomatina is one of the oldest festivals on our list. It’s
also easily the messiest, coming off like the world’s biggest food fight. If you go, please
follow some simple rules: Don’t throw hard objects, squash(挤压) the tomato before throwing
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂it, stay a safe distance away from tomato trucks, and stop when the fight has ended. In other
words, have fun, but don’t hurt anybody.
21．When does Burning Man celebration usually start?
A．In 1986. B．In 1945. C．In August. D．In September.
22．How many local people attend Carnival every year?

C．It’s allowed to throw anything during the fight.
D．It’s allowed to throw the tomato directly whenever you like.
B
This is the best time and this is the worst time；this is the time of great material richness
and this is the time of desert of the soul. Everyone seems to be rushing around for something
but they have never fulfilled their dreams. Everyone tries to seek happiness but it seems to be
nowhere to be found.
When asked "What on earth can make you happy？"，most modern men would give
similar replies such as becoming extremely wealthy，or getting promoted in work and then
becoming very wealthy. When asked "What will you do with your wealth？"，they would
make a long list of things they have been longing for. However，haven't you noticed the
multimillionaires are not as happy as we common guys suppose them to be？Haven't you
noticed that the multimillionaire celebrities（名人）don't even enjoy the fundamental
freedom of going shopping with their own families without being followed by annoying
paparazzi？
If we focus our happiness on such big issues，we are bound to be unhappy all through
our life，because those big issues might just occur to us once in a blue moon.
As Socrates（苏格拉底）once put it，"He is the richest man who is content with the
least，for content is the wealth of nature. "But how can we" be content with the least"？If
you pay due attention，you will find our life is loaded with little joys，sometimes too little
to be noticeable. Stop once in a while in your rush to your destination，look around and you
will see that there are always little things worth cheering for. You got an "A" in a test. Good！
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂You listened to all inspiring lectures. Great！You offered a helping hand to someone who had
a flat tire. Amazing！Your dream girl or boy greeted you with a sweet smile. Fantastic！Let's
cheer for the little joys in life！Please keep in mind that never should we wait to be happy！
24．What is the best title of the passage？
A．Money Means Happiness
B．Happiness Is All Around Us
C．Dreams Make Our Life Rich
D．Satisfaction Is Unacceptable
25．What does the underlined phrase in the third paragraph probably mean？
A．Rarely. B．Regularly.
C．Normally. D．Frequently.
26．According to Socrates，people who are "content with the least" are ________ .
A．greedy B．ambitious
C．optimistic D．reliable
27．In the last paragraph，the author suggests that we should ________ .
A．set up great goals in life
B．make full use of opportunities
C．enjoy every moment in life
D．seek significant issues in life
C
I was selfish as a teenager．I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking
care of my own needs．I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he
left for college．I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read
books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination．This didn't change even when I went
to college either．I studied hard but only to make my own life better． Even when I started
to explore my faith, it was only to increase my own happiness．
I married after graduation and decided to start a family．Of course, I had no idea what
hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul．Soon I found myself unemployed,
deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way．l found out that life has little sympathy for
spoiled people．In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness
slowly out of me．
Still,I didn't give up on happiness．I knew that there must be a way to find it．I finally
realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires．
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born．I got a
bottle and held him in my arms．As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big,
innocent, trusting eyes．I smiled and talked to him．Then he smiled and I could feel my
heart growing, expanding with love．I felt such peace and joy．At that moment I had a hint
of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness．
Carolyn Arends wrote："The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart
gets．The more love you get, the more love you have to give．It just keeps growing." So,
keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and
always．
28．What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A． He often helped his brother with housework．
B．He studied hard for his family．
C．He was concerned about his family．
D．He put his own needs above others'．
29．What did the author realize after he suffered in life?
A．Spoiled people can't survive the hardship of life.
B．Spoiled people are never happy in life．
C．Life is cruel to spoiled people．
D．Selfishness is helpful．
30．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The author loved kids．
B．The author often fed his baby．
C．The author realized the importance of happiness．
D．When caring for his baby, the author got inspired．
31．Which can be the best title of the passage?

B．The Elder One Grows, the More He Gets
C．Help Others, Help Oneself
D．Keep Growing to Live a Happy Life
D
I always figured that comedians were the best kind of people to hang around with as a
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂kid. They tell funny stories，make jokes，and happiness seems never to leave them.But with
time going on，we come to see these same people as clowns on the outside，but crying on
the inside.Comedy from thesepeople comes from a deep pain and sadness in theirlives，or
out of deep-seated anger they have in the world around them.
Look at Richard Pryor.Need I say more？Richard seemed to have everything.For
Superman IⅢ，he ended up getting more money than Christopher Reeve did，yet he said
while he was in his forties that the last truly happy moment he remembered in his life was
when he was jumping around in the dirt while he waspretending to be a cowboy at the age of
10.This guy set himself on fire，and he played that for fun while performing live at the
Sunset Strip！Comedy was his constant weapon against pain，and he never held anything
back.
The movie Funny People understands very well this gloomy field in which many
comedians have tosurvive.It stars Adam Sandler as George Simmons，afamous comedian in
the movie. Simmons has it all: a beautiful house overlooking the sea，a swimming pool，
great cars，and so on.But in his eyes，we see that he is a sad man who has come to truly
look down upon himself for what he has become. All the wealth he has collected only serves
to separate him from the rest of the world and it makes him defensive when he is around total
strangers who cannot see him as a normal person.But now，he hears from his doctor that he
has a terminal（不治的）disease and has only months left to live.Simmons reacts to the
news as if someone took away his blood in the heart，and it makes him clearlysee just how
much he hates his life.So now he has to make every minute count. Then come a series of
funny stories.
Comedy is just life as it is，isn't it？
32．What can we infer about "comedians" according to the text?
A．Comedians like to get along with kids.
B．Comedians' life is full of jokes.
C．Comedians often use their sad experiences.
D．Comedians often cry in their daily life.
33．When was the real happy moment for Richard Pryor?
A．Playing the part of Superman.
B．Getting more money than Christopher Reeve.
C．Performing live at the Sunset Strip.
D．Pretending to be a cowboy in the childhood.

A．He has no friends at all.
B．He spends too much on his house.
C．He isn't accepted by the outside world.
D．He is hated by all the strangers around.
35．By saying"Comedy is just life as it is, isn't it?" the author means ________.
A．life is like comedy which will make you happy
B．comedy comes from the sadness in real life

D．life is full of comedy in reality

12 months ago, we tested most of the drone (无人机) models on the market.
Typically models under $100 were very difficult to control even in light wind. 36 ．
However in the last few months, a cheap drone model called the DroneX pro has been
receiving a lot of praise among experts.
Why is this extremely high quality drone so cheap?
The DroneX Pro was designed by two engineers and drone lovers. They did lots of
research and came to a shocking conclusion. The high-quality technology in most expensive
brand drones comes mostly from the SAME supplier companies and was quite inexpensive.
In other words? 37 ． it’s because the cost of advertising the brand name itself is very high.
38 ．
Intelligent flight modes enable the drone to land safely and make 3D spins & other cool
flips.
The high-quality hidden 3-axis gimbal (三轴万向节)is able to stabilize the camera even
at high speed for sharp images and jitter-free video. Even with wind, the videos are razor-
sharp in real-time transmission from your environment -like a HD live stream.
The wide-angle lens provides 100mbps ultra-HD images for wonderful and crystal clear
images.
When folded up, the drone is barely larger than a fist. It fits in every belt bag and in
every backpack! You do not need a film crew when flying the DroneX Pro.
Why is this drone so popular?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂This drone costs only a small part of the price of professional brand drones. It comes in a
sleek and compact design and can be taken anywhere. It is also quiet in the air and has an
improved flight time.
39 ． Flying feels very natural. Even a first time drone flyer can learn to use it in a
matter of minutes. It is unbelievable how easy to fly the drone is thanks to its included
controller.
Our conclusion
This brilliant new drone is taking the world by storm. 40 ．
e the best el ling gift in2019.
A．This cheap drone might be the best selling gift in 2019.
B．Their camera also struggles to deliver high-quality photos and videos.
C．Is this inexpensive drone really as good as the experts are saying?
D．What makes the DroneX Pro so special?
E.That means they’re able o offer a world class quality drone at an incredibly low price.
F.The reason why brand name drones are so expensive isn’t because of their technology.
G.This drone makes beginners look like professionals.
