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 Vox.com, 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 5,000 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.
28.What 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.”
A.Would you like an invisibility cloak that works just like the one Harry Potter got from his father?
B.The scientists didn’t actually see anything disappear.
C.So building an invisibility cloak is building something that doesn’t reflect light.
D.Researchers in England and the USA have found the materials to build such a cloak.
E.They had been inspired by the work of a British physicist, John Pendry.
F.For inspiration, you could read some books.
G.To do that, you have to give up science fiction and turn to real science.
