第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10个小题，每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡
将该项涂黑。
A
The US will have a new president this fall. Voters will decide between the Democratic candidate (候选人), Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump of the Republicans.
But the voting is not a must for each person in the US. So quite a lot of people choose not to vote (投票), especially the young generation. According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of 18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldn’t vote for either of the two candidates. Just 12 percent of voters aged 35-54, and only nine percent of voters aged 55 and older said the same thing.
This is not only because young people don’t like Clinton or Trump, according to the Fortune magazine. The truth is that they are traditionally less likely to vote than their parents.
“Young people are not at an age in their life when they think politics or government has anything to do with them,” said Rodd Freitag, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, US. “But for the older age groups, they have a home, they pay taxes (税), they care about schools and the community.”
Many believe that the civic (公民的) education of an American youth is another reason why they don’t vote.
Students usually just do community services like cleaning the neighborhoods. This means they haven’t learned how to link real life problems to politics through voting, according to Christopher Beem, a politics professor at the Pennsylvania State University.
He said the country needs to help young people learn how to take part in politics and get them to see that they can make a difference.
21. What percentage of young voters wouldn’t go to vote? A. 9 percent.
B. 12 percent.
C. 20 percent.
D. 55 percent.
22. According to Rodd Freitag, young people are less likely to vote because _____. A. they don’t like either of the candidates B. their parents don’t like to vote C. they don’t think it is a part of their life D. they have no work and care little about living problems
23. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. US Young Not Voting
B. US Young and Their President
C. Young People’s Power
D. Voting for the New US President
B
There’s a saying that goes, “If you want to lose friends quickly, travel with them.”
If you don’t want to have a bad experience and end up with a broken friendship, here are some tips you can follow to reduce the arguments that appear.
Dealing with a bad team player. Shan Minyie, a student at Zhejiang University, is going to Shanghai with two of her friends next month. But one problem has already presented itself long before they’ve even set out. One of the girls won’t lift a finger to plan their trips, leaving the task to Shan and the other friend. Shan said she will be more careful when she picks travel partners next time.
Learning to compromise (妥协). Feng Yaolin is a freshman at Yunnan University. She went to Xinjiang with three friends last year. One of the girls insisted on taking a shower every day. That means when they were camping and didn’t have hot water, the rest of the team had to put up with her complaints(抱怨). But Feng knew better than to turn the problem into a fight.
“It was only a small thing, and we all tried to understand,” said Feng. “And it wasn’t all bad. For example, when she cleaned the tables in the restaurants, she would do the same for the rest of us. And we were grateful.”
Dealing with money. Han Chen went to Xiamen with a close friend. At first they would offer to pay for each other’s meals, but it wasn’t long before they found their system didn’t work. Their solution was to go Dutch. “I didn’t feel comfortable at first because we northerners have a habit of treating our friends instead of splitting (分担) the bills, but soon I realized it was the best way to solve the argument.”
“It’s true that you get to discover some of your friends’ problems during the trip, but in some ways it was the problems that brought us even closer,” said Han Chen.
24. In paragraph 1, by saying “If you want to lose friends quickly, travel with them” the writer means ______.
A. picking travel partners is very important
B. you should not choose to travel with your friends
C. Traveling with friends may lead to broken friendships
D. You’ll have a bad experience if you travel with your friends
25. When your friends complain during the trip, you should ______.
A. help to discover the problem
B. try to be understanding
C. be grateful for everything
D. just ignore their complaints
26. What does the underlined phrase “go Dutch” mean in the last but one paragraph mean?
A. pay for each other’s meals
B. pay for one’s own food and bills
C. treat your friends to meals
D. solve the problems together
C
How can you change negative thoughts? Many people suggest changing your attitude by thinking of something bright and happy.
However, scientists from Queen’s University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.
“It is not surprising that our mood (情绪) and the way we feel influences how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also influences how we feel,” explained Nikolaus Troje, the lead scientist, to The Independent.
Scientists believed that those who suffer from depression (抑郁) remember negative information far more easily than positive messages, especially when the information is about them.
In order to prove this, Troje and his team used cameras to observe 47 people walking on the treadmill (跑步机). Half of the people were encouraged to mimic (模仿) a sad walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept the same for both groups.
During the
time, the scientists read out a list of positive and negative words, asking people to decide whether or not each word described them well. Afterwards, people were asked to recite as many of the words as they could remember.
As expected, those who had been mimicking a sad walk thought of more negative words than those that had been walking in a happy way.
This finding means that our walk influences the way we process information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.
27. Which of the following is closest in the meaning to the underlined word “negative” in the first paragraph?
A. sad and inactive
B. angry and stubborn
C. determined and straight
D. lonely and boring
28. What new way did scientists from Queen’s University possibly find to change negative thoughts? A. Doing something happy.
B. Thinking of something bright. C. Walking like a happy person.
D. Thinking about being a happy person.
29. In the test, those who walked in a happy way _____.
A. remembered more positive words
B. remembered more negative words
C. lived a happier life
D. lived a harder life
30. According to the story, the finding can help _____.
A. improve one’s acting skills
B. treat patients with depression
C. recover people’s happy memory
D. change a person’s walking habit
