　　第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）

　　第一节 （共15小题;每小题3分，满分45分）

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature．Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize．

　　Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received．Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns．

　　Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize, twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the cherry on top of Munro’s career．“It brings this incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication to the short story,” said one person．

　　Along with the well-respected title comes 1．3 million dollars．Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way．”

　　Munro knew she was in the running——she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami （）of Japan——but she never thought that she would win．

　　Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come．“When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world．Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday．

　　She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is．In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize．Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer．

　　“This is a win for us all．Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor．“But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag．”

　　She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang．But this may change my mind．”

　　21．What is the feature of Munro’s stories?

　　A．They have their own complicated contents． B．They have similar story backgrounds．

　　C．They have specific themes for children．

　　D．They have the same characters in each book．

　　22．For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for______．

　　A．her love for Canadian culture

　　B．her devotion to the short story

　　C．her special form of writing

　　D．her career of editing short stories

　　23．What is implied in the sixth paragraph?

　　A．Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize．B．Canadian writers are just a small community．

　　C．Canadian writers have long been ignored．D．Canadians have a long way to win the prize．

　　24．What does the passage mainly tell us?

　　A．How Alice Munro wins the Nobel PrizeB．An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature

　　C．Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in LiteratureD．A world famous writer, Alice Munro

　　B

　　A dense wave of smog began in the Chinese city of Harbin and the surrounding Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning Provinces on 20 October 2017．Unseasonably warm temperatures with very little wind across northeastern China coincided with the smoke from local farmers’ burning straws and the start-up of Harbin’s coal-powered central heating system．

　　Record densities of fine particulates（微粒）were measured in the city．In Harbin, the levels of PM2．5 （particulate matter） rise to 1,000 micrograms per cubic meter, worse than Beijing’s historic highs．Visibility was reduced to below 50m in parts of Harbin, and below 500m in most of the neighbouring Jilin Province．On Fa Yuen Street in Harbin, visibility of less than 5m was reported．The smog reduced after October 23, 2017 and completely broke up on October 28, 2017 by the first local snow and icy rain due to a cold front moving in from Russia．

　　Harbin lies in the north of China where winter temperatures can drop to -40℃, demanding a six-month heating season．Daily particulate levels of more than 40 times the World Health Organization recommended maximum level were reported in parts of Harbin．The smog remained till 23 October, when almost all monitoring stations in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning Provinces

　　reported readings above 200μg/m³forPM2．5．PM2．5 is the amount of particulate matter less than 2．5 micrometers in diameter in the air, with the WHO recommending a maximum 24-hour mean （平均值） of 25 micrograms per cubic meter （μg/m³）．On the morning of 25 October, PM2．5 measurements in Harbin had fallen to an average of 123μg/m³．

　　All highways in the surrounding Heilongjiang Province were closed．In Harbin, all primary and middle schools were closed for three days and authorities stopped flights at the airports．Hospitals reported a 23 percent increase in admissions for breathing problems．However, this smog will have no influence on Harbin Ice Festival events later in December 2017．

　　Air pollution in Chinese cities is of increasing concern to China’s leadership．Particulates in the air can affect human health and also have influences on climate and rainfall．Pollution from the burning of coal has reduced life expectancy by 5．5 years in the north of China, as a result of heart and lung diseases．

　　25．One cause of the heavy smog in the northeastern Chinese cities may be _____．

　　A．the lasting cold weather

　　B．farmers’ burning of forests

　　C．too much strong wind

　　D．the start-up of heating system

　　26．One serious influence of the heavy smog was that_____．

　　A．Harbin Ice Festival would be cancelled

　　B．highways in Heilongjiang were free of charge

　　C．all flights at the airport were cancelledD．doctors in hospitals were kept from working

　　27．The harmful smog was most serious on ______．

　　A．October 20

　　B．October 23

　　C．October 25

　　D．October 28

　　28．What measure might be practical to reduce the happening of heavy smog?

　　A．Forbidding people to own their private cars． B．Advocating people having one meal a day．

　　C．Using natural gas to cook instead of coal．D．Encouraging family’s coal-fired heating．

　　C

　　Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology（意识形态） that biology is destiny．According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes．These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life．Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally．Thus, they are naturally suited, much more so than men, to the performance of domestic（家庭的） duties．A woman’s place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home．Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker．On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on．Men are to be the providers; women and children are “dependents”．

　　The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex．It is appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, house-hold helpers, clerks and secretaries．These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role．Informal distinctions between “women’s work” and “men’s work” in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes．

　　Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way．For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce．Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearances．

　　So goes the ideology．It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life．There is enough evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned．

　　But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable．

　　29．According to the biology-is-destiny ideology, women_______．

　　A．cannot compete with men in any field

　　B．are suited more to domestic jobs than men

　　C．are sensitive enough to be a good caretaker

　　D．are too weak to do any agricultural work at all

　　30．Those who have prejudices against women think that_______．

　　A．women shouldn’t go out for work

　　B．women should earn money to add the family income

　　C．women going out for work should only do “women’s work”

　　D．women should take jobs to drill the special capabilities of the sex

　　31．The author thinks that the positions women hold outside_______．

　　A．are determined by what they are better suited to

　　B．grow out of their household responsibilities

　　C．represent their breakthrough of sex discrimination

　　D．are physically and emotionally suitable to them

　　32．What does the underlined sentence imply?

　　A．Sex roles are socially determined

　　B．Sex roles are emotionally and physically determined

　　C．Sex roles are biologically and psychologically determined

　　D．Sex roles are determined by education people take

　　D

　　Tickets for the 2017 World Cup in Brazil have gone on sale, with fans able to apply on FIFA’s website．FIFA is expecting a similar demand to that in Germany 2006, when there were about seven applicants for every ticket of the 64 matches．And now around 3．3 million tickets will be available for the matches in 2017．

　　Tickets will range in price from 58 for first-round matches to ￡632 for the final at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro．Brazilian citizens over 60, local students and members of some social programs can purchase tickets for 15．

　　“It’s always difficult to predict,” said FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil．“But I truly believe that it will be more similar to what happened in Germany than in South Africa in 2010．”According to FIFA, the 2006 World Cup was attended by more than 3．3 million fans．Almost two million tickets were sold to the general public in South Africa, although the number of applications during the first ticketing phase was significantly lower．

　　All applications made before 10th October 2017 will enter a random selection draw if there are not enough tickets available to fulfill all requests．The sales of the leftover tickets will begin on 5th November on a first-come, first-served basis．Another phase will begin on 8th December after the draw is made．The tournament begins on 12th June, with Brazil playing the opener in Sao Paulo．

　　A study on the price of World Cup 2017 looked at the ticket prices and the cost of travelling to Brazil and found that our English fans face hotel costs of between 46 and ￡797 a night, while packages range from ￡2,999 to ￡14,999．

　　33．How much should a Brazilian student pay for the opening match?

　　A．15

　　B．58

　　B．feels worried about the sales of the tickets for Brazil 2017

　　C．holds the belief that Brazil 2017 will be the greatest world cup

　　D．believes that more fans will attend Brazil 2017 than South Africa 2010

　　35．What will FIFA do if there are not enough tickets available for requests before Oct．10, 2017?

　　A．They will sell the spare tickets to the applicants．

　　B．They will sell on a first-come, first-served basis．
