第二部分 阅读(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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Who says inventions are only made by grown-ups and professionals? Over the years, children have also
succeeded in making their useful contributions to the world. Here are a few inventions that came to life from the
minds of young children.
Hero Helmet
Seven-year-old Samuel Meyer’s invention is aimed at stopping people from riding their bikes or skateboards
without using a helmet. The Hero Helmet features an inbuilt remote that controls a lock on the wheels which
unlocks when the Helmet is being worn by the rider. Samuel says: no helmet, no bike.
Robotic Earthworm
The first thought that comes to mind is, why a robotic earthworm? Well, ten-year-old David Cohen had some
useful applications in mind. He believed it could be used to find victims after a flood, earthquake or fire. The robot
could get into small and dangerous places where search dogs and humans could not go.
B．E. A．C． O. N.
Fifteen-year-old Hannah Herbst’s invention, which stands for Bringing Electricity Access to Countries throughOcean Energy, was inspired by her pen pal who lives in Ethiopia and did not have access to lights. So she came up
with B．E. A．C． O. N, which absorbs energy directly from ocean waves. Her invention won the “Discovery
Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge” in 2015 and other numerous awards.
Portable Wheelchair Controller
At only eight years old, Amelia Fox created the invention to help lift people in and out of their wheelchair.
This invention was not just born out of the desire to create something. Amelia developed this controller for her
brother, who had just got hip surgery and needed the wheelchair to move around.
21．Who is the youngest inventor?
A．Samuel Meyer. B．David Cohen.
C．Amelia Fox. D．Hannah Herbst.
22．Which of the following can be used as a rescue tool?
A．Hero Helmet B．B．E. A．C． O. N.
C．Robotic Earthworm. D．Portable Wheelchair Controller.
23．Why did Amelia Fox create the invention?
A．To give her brother assistance. B．To benefit the earthquake victims.
C．To generate electricity effectively. D．To protect bike riders from injuries.
B
When it came time for me to look at options for postgraduate study, I decided to go abroad, initially looking at
options in both Australia and the United States.
I decided on Australia finally after I spoke with friends, who had experience of studying at the University of
Melbourne and living in the city. The people I knew described to me as a place where there were lots of people
from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, and where everyone was open-minded and there were discussions
happening everywhere. I’m happy to say that ended up being my experience as well.
I joined Lion, one of Australasia’s largest food and drink companies, as part of their graduate program, which
was a fantastic opportunity, because it gave me the opportunity to work in a variety of roles, and gain experience
across a variety of functions. But the thing with Lion was that they were already a very established business; they
already had their processes and structures in place.
When the opportunity came for me to join Culture Amp, I realized it was an opportunity to see a business
grow and be part of that evolution. It was just what I wanted. That comes with its own challenges, as new problems
试卷第4页，共13页appear you might be solving them from the very beginning, rather than having a framework to fall back on, but it
also means there’s room to learn and experiment. It made me realize where my interests lie. Here in Australia,
there’s a really high tolerance for change in your careers. I think it’s really easy for graduates to fee1 like they have
to “jump” into a role, and then that’s it, forever. But the truth is, your career is a marathon. You can expect to
change courses along the way, and allow your interests to open new doors.
24．Why did the author choose to study in Australia?
A．Her friends lived there.
B．She decided to work there.
C．She liked the culture there.
D．She wanted to meet new people.
25．Which can best describe the author’s work in Lion?
A．Facing various opportunities.
B．Lacking challenges.
C．Demanding new structures.
D．Offering limited roles.
26．What did the author want to get from Culture Amp?
A．Learning how to do experiments.
B．Having a framework to turn to.
C．Dealing with problems in wise ways.
D．Experiencing a company’s development.
27．What is the author’s attitude towards changing jobs?
A．Uncertain. B．Objective.
C．Supportive. D．Contradictory.
C
All human languages use vowels and consonants to express ideas. Most primates (灵长类) communicate
almost using vowel-like calls, but non-human great apes, like chimpanzees, produce consonant-like sounds to
varying degrees, This raises the question of where consonants came from, says Adriano Lameira at the University
of Warwick. To find it out, he studied existing literature to see how common consonants are among the great apes.
He found that orangutans (猩猩), which spend most of their time in the trees: produce a greater number and
variety of consonant sounds than gorillas and chimpanzees living. on the ground. “Orangutans have rich soundslike kiss sounds, scrapes and clicks.” says Lameira. hey typically use these sounds while building nests or
commencing with their young.
Lameira thinks that living in the trees may explain that Great apes are experts at processing protected foods.
Like nuts, which often requires tools. While living in trees however, orangutans must always use at least one arm to
maintain stability. They have therefore developed more complex control of their lips, tongues and jaws, allowing
them to use their mouths as a “fifth limb” orangutans can peel oranges just with lips, for example.
This advanced motor skill enables orangutans make consonant-like sounds, argues Lameira. This could mean,
that our early ancestors developed consonant sounds while hanging around in the trees, too. “ There’s a growing
sense that our dependency on trees was much larger and deeper than we think,” says Lameira.
The link between feeding and sounds doesn’t apply to smaller tree-living primates like monkeys, argues
Lameira, because their size and tails make them more stable on branches and they eat differently
“This is an interesting assumption worth testing,” says Chris Petkov at Newcastle University, though he
questions some aspects. As humans aren’t tree living, there must be other reasons why consonants remain, which
could be tested by characterizing consonant-like sounds more systematically across species, he says.
28．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Why vowels and consonants are used
B．What ideas the consonants express.
C．How common the consonants are.
D．Where the consonants came from
29．What fact can support Adriano Lamerica’s assumption about orangutans?
A．They build nests with their young.
B．They are skillful in employing tools
C．They gain advanced motor skill of mouths
D．They show stability in controlling arms.
30．What can we infer from Adriano Lameira’s findings?
A．Monkeys differ from orangutans in eating habits.
B．Our ancestors depended more on trees than believed.
C．Consonant sounds were made by our earliest, ancestors.
D．The link between feeding and sounds applies to monkeys
31．What is Chris Petkov’s attitude to Adriano Lameira’s assumption ?
试卷第6页，共13页A．Confident B．Cautious C．Opposed D．Puzzled

When you ask people to judge others by their speech, a trend emerges: Listeners dislike disfluency. Slow
talkers producing loads of ums and pauses(停顿)are generally perceived as less charming. But science tells us there
may be even more to disfluency.
Disfluencies do not occur in arbitrary positions in sentences. Ums typically occur right before more difficult
or low-frequency words. Imagine you’re having dinner with a friend at a restaurant,and there are three items on the
table: a knife, a glass, and a wine decanter(醒酒器). Your friend turns to you and says, “Could you hand me
the...um...” What would you assume they want? Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate before such common
words as knife, and glass, chances are you’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “You mean this?”
This is exactly what we demonstrated through controlled eye-tracking studies in our lab. Apparently, listeners
hear the um and predict that an uncommon word is most likely to follow.Such predictions, though, reflect more
than just simple association between disfluencies and difficult words; listeners are actively considering from the
speaker’s point of view. For example, when hearing a non-native speaker say the same sentence but with a thick
foreign accent, listeners don’t show a preference for looking at low-frequency objects. This is probably because
listeners assume non-native speakers may have as much trouble coming up with the English word for a common
object, like a knife, as for unusual ones and can’t guess their intention.
In another experiment, listeners were presented with an atypical speaker who produced disfluencies before
simple words and never before difficult words. Initially, participants displayed the natural predictive strategy:
looking at uncommon objects. However, as more time went by, and they gained experience with this atypical
distribution of disfluencies, listeners started to demonstrate the contrary predictive behavior: They tended to look at
simple objects when hearing the speaker say um.
These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a prediction machine: We continuously try to
predict what will happen next, even though not all disfluencies are created equal.
32．What does the underlined word “arbitrary”mean in paragraph 2?
A．Random. B．Strategic. C．Obvious. D．Consistent
33．What does the author say about the non-native speakers?
A．They can be understood easily. B．They actively put themselves in others’ shoes
C．Their vocabularies are limited. D．Their disfluencies are a little less predictive.
34．What does the experiment in paragraph 4 show?A．Simple things are difficult in some cases.B．Listeners can adjust predictions accordingly.
C．Distribution of disfluencies is changeable. D．Disfluencies in communication can be avoided.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Pauses Coexist with Prediction. B．Brains Are Powerful Prediction Machines.
C．Active Listeners Simplify Talks. D．Disfluency Says More Than You Think.

My students frequently ask me how I planned out my career to become president of Fidelity Investments. I
always tell them, “There was no grand plan; I backed into my career one step at a time.” In this tough economy and
ever-changing world, it is more important than ever to smartly evaluate each step in your career. To prepare for
whatever surprises lie ahead, try to make choices today that will maximize your options in the future. 36
Gaining transferable (可转移的) knowledge begins with the choices you make at school. You want your
education to provide you with the necessary skills and expertise to succeed in a wide variety of jobs. 37 I
favor those that involve extensive writing, rigorous analysis, or quantitative skills.
Once you have finished your formal education, search for jobs that will allow you to further expand your
transferable knowledge—to help you find your next job. Let’s say you take a job putting together airplane leases.
Within a few years, you could become the world’s expert on the subject. 38 By contrast, if you take a job
that will expand your computer programming skills, you can greatly boost your options for later steps in your
career.
Remember gaining transferable knowledge is only one piece of the puzzle. 39 As a saying goes,
“Organizations don’t hire people. People hire people.” The more people you know, the more people will think of
you when a job pops open—even when it is not publicly advertised.
Of course, you can build your network to some degree without changing jobs. 40 But this sort of
event-driven networking pales in comparison with the deep bonds you can develop with your colleagues by
working, communicating, and traveling with them.
A．You can make yourself more attractive.
B．Gain transferable expertise and form close bonds with your colleagues.
C．Your next step should help you expand your web of personal relationships.
D．This later helped me evaluate and start business units throughout the world.
试卷第8页，共13页E．You can attend conferences or participate in committees at trade associations.
F．This means that you need to make smart choices about the courses you will follow.
G．However, this narrow expertise probably won’t help you in any other line of work.

Named after the ancient city of Chang’an in Shaanxi province, which 56 (serve) as the capital of the
Tang Dynasty for over 280 years, the epic film spans 168 minutes — the longest runtime of any Chinese animated
movie — and brings to life some of the most iconic figures in Chinese literary history. Since 57 release

the most acclaimed animated blockbusters (大片) of the summer season.
Despite Li and Du 59 (feature) in many movies and TV shows, the movie employs an
unconventional perspective, starting with the memories of Gao Shi, 60 (relate) the ups and downs of Li’s
life, one of the country’s most beloved poet. Interweaving the personal 61 (fate) of these figures, the film
vividly presents the magnificent scenes of the Tang Dynasty. It showcases the bustling streets of ancient Chang’an,
the 62 (energy) and prosperous city of Yangzhou, as well as the harsh and snowy borderlands in
northwestern China.
The movie also beautifully captures the free-spirited nature of the Tang Dynasty. For instance, in the national
civil service examination, the 63 (high) achievers are granted the privilege to ride magnificent horses and
pick the most exquisite flower from any residence in the capital city. 64 (addition), poets would visit local
taverns (酒馆), 65 they would enjoy foreign dancers’ fascinating movements and melodious singing,
while tasting wine and crafting verses of poetry.

67.Birthdays were a huge deal at my workplace. Co-workers went above and beyond to shower the person of honor
with food, decorations, affirmations, love and, yes, embarrassment on their special day. As one who preferred to go
unnoticed and felt embarrassed at being the center of attention, I was horrified to walk in on my birthday to see my
desk decorated with glittery streamers, and a hot pink sash (饰带) with the words, “Kneel! I’m the Birthday
Princess”. I was forced to wear for the duration of the day.
Although embarrassed by the display, I felt extremely loved. I thoroughly enjoyed the pleasant flowers and
delicious chocolate cake my co-workers gave me.
Several months after my birthday celebration, our office welcomed Laura, a new member, to the team. Hired
as our office manager’s assistant, Laura was also tasked with establishing a human resources department.
Possessing an ambitious vision and receiving trust from our manager, she immediately made major changes —
which were not well received. Gradually, Laura became the center of gossip (闲言碎语).
When Laura’s spring birthday neared, it was evident that no one wanted to celebrate. I understood why no one
wanted to go all-out in celebrating Laura’s birthday, but it bothered me nevertheless. As an extremely shy andintroverted (内向的) individual, being left out or ignored was nothing foreign to me, and it pained me to think of
the deliberate effort to ignore her birthday. Although she drove me crazy, too, I knew her time in our office had not
been easy.
Stopping by our local grocery store, I selected some rosy-pink tulips and a birthday card in which I wrote a
heartfelt note highlighting some of Laura’s qualities I admired, such as her ambitious spirit, creativity, and strong
inner drive. Arriving an hour early to work the morning of her birthday, I transformed her corner of the office just
like what my co-workers did for my birthday.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I watched Laura spot her decorated work area when she arrived.
