第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分42.5分)
第一节(共12小题；每小题2.5分，满分30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
Survival and rescue stories from the deadly crash of TransAsia Airways Flight 235 in Taiwan are inspiring as well as exciting. They raise the question: Why do some passengers survive plane crashes while others sadly don’t?
Some of the survival games involve factors passengers largely can’t control, like the weather, flight crew skills, the design of airline seats and the construction, maintenance(维修)and the age of the plane.
But passengers themselves can do a lot to improve their chances of survival simply by making smart choices and being informed.
Here are a few ideas to keep in mind:
*Seat choice. Experts differ. Have you heard of the “five-row rule”? This refers to the idea that if you’ re sitting within five rows of an emergency exit, you have a statistically(统计地)better chance of surviving a crash.
* Listen to the safety talk. Yeah, it’s boring. But it could save your life! The presentation-by video or by flight attendants-explaining what to do in case the plane goes down, offers key information like: How do I get out?
*Read the safety card. Do you know that safety card in the pocket of the seat in front of you? Think of it as a map leading you toward survival. Read it. It shows how the plane you're on will be evacuated(撤离).
*Be aware of the exits. Plan your escape. Visualize how you-and perhaps children you’re traveling with-are going to get out of the plane.
*Move quickly. You have 90 seconds to get out of the plane after a crash. Many passengers in plane crashes survive the initial impact. It’s what happens next that often kills them. This includes fire, smoke and sometimes water. Sherwood advises using 90 seconds as a time frame for escaping.
21. At the beginning of the passage, the crash of TransAsia Airways is mentioned .
A. to share a story B. to introduce the topic
C. to introduce a flight D. to criticize the passengers
22. Of the following things, passengers can control .
A. the weather B. flight crew skills
C. the age of the plane D. making choices of the seat
23. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. You should read the boring safety card on the desk in front of you.
B. You’d better sit within seven rows of an emergency exit.
C. You should design your escape way in advance.
D. You should wait a moment after a crash.
24. The author’s purpose in writing this passage most probably is .
A. to offer us some tips on how to survive an air-crash
B. to offer us some tips on how to enjoy an air journey
C. to inform us of major services on the plane
D. to inform us of the danger of taking planes
B
King Tut, Egypt’s famous boy king, was buried with many valuable objects. A dagger(匕首)discovered in his tomb has recently attracted extra attention. Researchers have concluded that the dagger was probably made from a special material.
King Tut was only about nine years old when he became ruler of Egypt more than 3,300 years ago. The young king died when he was just 19, His body was buried in a tomb filled with objects that people believed he would need in the afterlife.
In 1922, Howard Carter discovered Tut’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Up to now, it was the best preserved ancient Egyptian tomb ever found. In 1925, Carter found the dagger which has a gold handle and an iron blade(刀片). The blade had confused experts because iron was hardly used at that time in ancient Egypt. In fact, it was so rare that it was considered more valuable than gold. Where did the iron for the blade come from?
Around the time of King Tut, ancient Egyptians started using a new word for iron that translates as "iron from the sky". This led some experts to believe that the iron for the blade came from a meteorite(陨石). But studies of the dagger carried out in the 1970s and 1990s didn’t support that idea.
That’s where modern technology comes in. Researchers used a new technique to examine the blade. They discovered that it was made up of iron and other materials found in meteorites. After comparing it to several meteorites, they even found its possible match-a meteorite that landed in northern Egypt thousands of years ago.
Scientists hope the new study will lead to more discoveries about other ancient Egyptian relics, "It would be very interesting to analyze more Pre-iron Age objects and we could gain precious discoveries." Daniela Comelli, who is a professor, said.
25. How many years did King Tut govern Egypt?
A. 9. B. 10. C. 19. D. 29.
26. What do we know about Tut’s tomb?
A. It was built when he was 9. B. It has a lot of iron objects in it.
C. It was the first tomb to he found. D. It was perfectly kept when discovered.
27. Scientists paid extra attention to the dagger because .
A. its blade is made of iron B. it is King Tut’s favorite object
C. it was more valuable than gold D. it leads to more discoveries
28. The researchers used modern technology to show .
A. iron is widely used in ancient Egypt
B. ancient Egyptian objects are excellent
C. Tut’s dagger was likely made from a meteorite
D. more valuable objects are hidden in the tombs
C
Honeybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings to produce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.
As with many scientific advances-Isaac Newton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.
Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect local Pasadena honeybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is about three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.
The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic(半水生)insects use their legs for propulsion(推进力), which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they predicted.
Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. "This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter," Dr. Gharib said.
29. What does the author intend to show by referring to Newton and Franklin?
A. Roh’s admiration for them. B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.
C. Their outstanding talent for science. D. Their similar achievements in discovery.
30. What plays the most important role in a bee’s moving forward on water?
A. The air weight. B. The bee’s weight.
C. The water surface. D. The bee’s continuous wingbeat.
31. What does the underlined word "evolved" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Changed quickly. B. Developed gradually.
C. Became better. D. Became worse.
32. What can Roh’s robot do according to the passage?
A. It can search wild animals in the forest fire.
B. It can travel across sky with the aid of helicopter.
C. It can get samples of the surface of the ocean by itself.
D. It can rescue survivors from underground after earthquake.

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。
Do you sometimes get stuck on decision making? While it’s great to have options, there is a hidden burden: the responsibility of actually making a choice! The toggle(切换)technique is good for important decisions where you feel stuck between two choices. You’ve thought about both options carefully, but you’re still unsure. 33 . Here’s how:
·Get centered. Find a quiet space and do a couple of deep breaths to warm up. 34 .
·Dive in. Imagine that you’ve totally committed to one of your choice-we’ll call that choice Option A. For about 30 seconds silently pretend that you’ve decided to choose Option A. 35 . For example, do you feel a sinking in your stomach or a positive, energized feeling that’ s more like butterflies in your stomach?
· 36 . Once you have explored how Option A feels, mentally toggle over to Option B and pretend for approximately thirty seconds that you’ve chosen this option. Notice how it feels emotionally, and notice if you have any body-felt reactions. For example, do you feel a warm uplifted feeling in your chest or a sense of tightening in your chest?
·Go with your gut(直觉) 37 . And give yourself permission to choose the one that really felt best on an emotional and body-felt level. Many times, clients in my practice who are struggling with an important choice are surprised to see how much easier it is to choose when they allow themselves to see how they actually feel about the choices.
A. Make a change
B. Notice how it feels in your body
C. Close your eyes to focus attention
D. Compare how it felt to choose each option
E. Talk choices over with trusted sources of support
F. Sometimes our "gut feeling" helps make the best choice
G. The toggle technique is not a replacement for doing a pros/cons list
