　　阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

　　（共15题，每题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。

　　A

　　Parker Liautaud, a teenager student, is preparing for an expedition to the South Pole. The 19-year-old is now training for a 640-kilometre journey from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole. If he successfully makes the journey in 22 days as planned, he will break the speed record for the fastest trip from the continent’s coast to the South Pole on foot. He would also be the youngest male to reach the goal, although a younger female once did it in the past.

　　Parker says he was motivated by the opportunity to raise awareness about climate change rather than pushing his own physical limits. Citing(提及）Ben Saunders, the British explorer who recently made an expedition to the South Pole and back, as an inspiring influence in his physical preparation, he said, “Training is something I used to feel very out of place doing, but now I feel very confident about my ability to get from A to B physically.”

　　Given that background and a training schedule involving two or three hours’ preparation a day, he might be expected to take a hiatus from his studies at Yale University. However, he is continuing his course in geography and geophysics, until he heads out to the Antarctic next month. While in Antarctic, he will be carrying out tests to help show how the climate is changing, including testing a lightweight weather station for the first time on the continent.

　　Parker admitted feeling anxious about the journey, which he is carrying out with his partner Doug Stoup and is expected to complete in less than a month, but he said, “ The best way to respond to pressure is to be as well-prepared as humanly possible.”

　　During his expedition, Parker Liautaud will ________.

　　have a tight schedule

　　B.face all difficulties alone.

　　C.cover 640 kilometre a day

　　D.drive all the way by himself.

　　Why does Parker Liautaud plan to visit the South Pole?

　　To push his own physical limits.

　　B. To do repairs to a weather station.

　　C. To do research on climate change. D. To finish a project in his university.

　　The underlined word “hiatus” in Paragraph 3 probly means “________”.

　　prize

　　B.degree

　　C.decision

　　D.break

　　What does the author mainly tell us in the text?

　　The climate of the Antarctic keeps changing rapidly.

　　A teenage student prepares for the South Pole record.

　　A 19-year-old buy has crossed the Antarctic successfully.

　　It takes courage to go on an expedition to the South Pole.

　　B

　　However urban life strikes you, cities worldwide have been growing ever more rapidly. Some of this growth has happened in the developed world, but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World. Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countries.

　　By the year 2030, for the first time in history, 60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities.This is actually good news in some ways. “Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity(繁荣),” says Marc Weiss, chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development, “both for the nation and for families.” Industrial and commercial activities in urban areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the GDP(国内生产总值) in most countries of the world. “There’s the crazy idea that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them.” Weiss continued. “But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city.” For better or worse, urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities. Those cities will be bigger than ever. And yet, population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects; after all, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Hamburg, Germany, have the same population. Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor. “City problems,” one authority points out, “mostly have to do with weak, ineffective, and usually unrepresentative city governments.”

　　5.In the author’s opinion, _________.

　　A．better city, better lifeB．both urban and rural areas will have a large population

　　C．the larger the population is, the faster a city develops

　　D．both urban and rural areas have larger GDP

　　Which atatement is NOT true according to the passage?

　　A.The developing countries develop faster than the developed countries.

　　B. Cities contribute more to the GDP than the villagers.

　　C. Some problems are more easily solved in cities than in the country.

　　D. It’s impossible to solve urban problems by getting people out of cities.

　　7.The last paragraph implies that ____________.

　　A．ublic services are ineffective.

　　B．ities are increasing too fast.

　　C．opulation is not linked with development.

　　D．overnment should be responsible for the problems in the cities.

　　C

　　It’s illegal for the police to attach a GPS unit to your car without your permission, as the U.S. Supreme Court settled in 2017. But if the police are in hot pursuit of a bank robber or other escaping criminals that threaten public safety, a GPS tracker is acceptable. But exactly how can the police GPS track a car that is moving fast?

　　The answer to that question comes from Star Chase, a new police technology being used by a small-but growing number of law enforcement agencies. It allows the police to fire 4.5-inch glue-covered GPS bullet-like projectiles (发射体) from an air gun fixed in their police cars. If the GPS tracker makes contact with the escaping robber’s car, it’ll stick no matter how fast the vehicle is going. That way, the police will have a constant read on the car’s location and heading.

　　Aside from simply apprehending (逮捕) criminals, it’s believed this new technology could help save lives. If the police successfully fire a GPS unit at a speeding criminal, they can pull back from a high-risk chase. Chases can be incredibly dangerous to all involved, including innocent bystanders and other drivers. Once the GPS bullet connects, there’s no need for the chase any longer.

　　Now, predictably, a GPS-loaded gun isn’t cheap. Police departments need to pay about $5,000 per vehicle for the technology, and individual GPS bullets cost as much as $250 each. That may sound expensive, but remember: The alternative is often thousands of dollars in property damage, and great human cost in injury and lost life. According to Star Chase, their GPS bullet system has an apprehension rate of 80% without any report of injury or property damage.

　　If you’d like to learn more about the Star Chase system, Popular Mechanics has just published a good article about it. There’s also plenty more information available at the company’s website.

　　8. When the GPS bullet sticks to the escaping robber’s car, the police can

　　.

　　A. know the car’s condition

　　B. ensure the robber’s safety

　　C. play a fair game with the robber

　　D. know the car’s position and direction

　　9. The GPS bullets could help save lives mainly because

　　.

　　A. the bullets won’t hurt people

　　B. they can make the robber’s car stop

　　C. the police can stop the dangerous chasing D. they have more advantages than normal bullets

　　10. From the passage we can learn that GPS bullets

　　.

　　A. are useful for the police

　　B. are widely used in America

　　C. can control the rising crime rate

　　D. can replace the police in the future

　　11. What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Life

　　B. Nature

　　C. Fashion

　　D. Technology

　　D

　　The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough.

　　I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, "They are one skill away from great wealth."

　　There is an old saying that goes, "Job means' just over broke (破产)' ". And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers" live within their means". They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.

　　When I ask the classes I teach, "How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?

　　" almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, "So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?" The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

　　12. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that

　　.

　　A. he is just one of the talented people

　　B. he is ready to help others

　　C. he has a sharp sense of hearing

　　D. he knows little about car repairing

　　13. The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by

　　.

　　A. spend more than they can afford

　　B. do in their own way

　　C. live in their own circle

　　D. live within what they earn

　　14. Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?

　　A. They don't work hard enough.

　　B. They lack financial intelligence.

　　C. They don't make full use of their talents.

　　D. They have no specialized skills.

　　15. The main purpose of the author is to tell us

　　.

　　A. how young people can find a satisfactory job B. what schools should teach students

　　C. why so many talented people are poor

　　D.how McDonald's makes much money

　　It is well-known that good habits do us good all our life. Entered high school, I took delight in having fast food and often eat two much. In the end, I was so serious overweight that I suffered a lot from my awkward appearance. It made matters worse was the fact that my classmates made a fun of me at times. From now on, I made up my mind to avoiding snacks. In the meanwhile, I took off jogging to lose weight. In my surprise, it was not long until I did succeed in creating my new appearance. Only then did I start to appreciate the importance of developing a good habit.
