第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分 35 分)

阅读下面短文，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
When fashion designer Mindy Scheier's middle child, Oliver, came home one day and told her
he wanted to wear jeans to school rather than sweatpants ( 宽 松 运 动 裤), she was faced with
difficulty. Oliver has a rare disease, which causes him to struggle with everyday tasks, such as
dressing himself. Would she tell her 8-year-old son that he couldn't wear what everyone else got to
wear, or could she figure out a way in which he could? She chose the latter, altering (更改) a pair of
jeans for him. And with that, the Runway of Dreams Foundation was born.
Scheier started the foundation in 2014 to make adaptive clothing more accessible and
fashionable for people with disabilities. As part of its aims, Runway of Dreams Foundation partners
with brands to make stylish adaptive clothing lines available to the disabled, creates scholarships for
students focusing on adaptive clothing and helps with employment opportunities for people in the
disability community.
“It is truly unbelievable how one pair of jeans has changed the world,”Scheier said. “Creating
adaptive clothing for people with disabilities and trying to make change happen in the fashion
industry felt so much bigger than just Oliver or just me. It felt like something that had to happen.
The future of fashion is inclusion. We've been dressing different body shapes, and now it's time to
dress different abilities. I am so thrilled that Runway of Dreams Foundation really started a
movement to make change happen.”
“They told my mother that I wasn't going be able to do anything for myself, but I proved them wrong. What people like me can do with a disability is the same as someone who doesn't have one. It
might look a little bit different, or a little bit strange, but it can be done. I never opened up a
magazine and saw someone that looked like me. So it's good now for disabled young kids to see a
model in an ad with a disability,” said Oliver.
21. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The goals of Runway of Dreams Foundation.
B. The popularity of Runway of Dreams Foundation.
C. How Runway of Dreams Foundation was founded.
D. How Runway of Dreams Foundation raises money.
22. What does Scheier think of Runway of Dreams Foundation?
A. It should focus on normal people.
B. It will lead to changes in the fashion industry.
C. It has little influence on disabled people's life.
D. It fails to take fashion designing into consideration.
23. What can we learn from Oliver's words?
A. He never reads magazines.
B. He feels ashamed of himself.
C. He dreams to become a model.
D. He appreciates adaptive clothing.
B
Speaking, writing and reading are necessary to everyday life, where language is the major tool
for expression and communication. Studying how people use language — what words they
unconsciously choose and combine — can help us better understand ourselves and why we behave
the way we do.
Linguists (语言学家) try to determine what is unique and universal about the language we use,
how it is learned and the ways it changes over time. They consider language as a cultural, social and
psychological phenomenon.
“Understanding why and how languages differ tells us about the range of what is human,”said
Dan Jurafsky, chair of the Department of Linguistics at Stanford.
Stanford linguists and psychologists study how language is interpreted (理解) by people. Even
the slightest differences in language use may show the biased (有偏见的) beliefs of the speakers,
according to research.
For example, a relatively harmless sentence, such as“girls are as good as boys at math,”because
of the statement's grammatical structure (结构), suggests that being good at math is more common
or natural for boys than girls, the researchers said. Language can play a big role in how we and
others see the world, and linguists work to discover how words and phrases can influence us,
unknowingly.
People speak about 7,000 languages worldwide. Although there is a lot in common among
languages, each one is unique. Jurafsky said it's important to study languages other than our own and
how they develop over time because it can help linguists understand what lies at the foundation of
humans' unique way of communicating with one another.
Linguists analyze how certain speech patterns influence particular behaviors, including how language can influence people's buying decisions. Jurafsky said. “Understanding what different
groups of people say and why is the first step in determining how we can help bring people
together.”
24. What does the example mentioned in Paragraph 5 show?
A. Misunderstanding is common in daily life.
B. People should avoid using harmful sentences.
C. Speech patterns can show people's biased beliefs.
D. Some grammatical structures are difficult to understand.
25. What does Jurafsky suggest in Paragraph 6?
A. Researching languages.
B. Learning from linguists.
C. Developing good learning habits.
D. Communicating with others frequently.
26. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To show the power of language.
B. To give an introduction to Jurafsky.
C. To teach readers how to learn a language.
D. To call on readers to learn more languages.
C
Mothers who angrily tell off their children when they step out of line may be making behavior
problems worse, according to a study. The study by the London School of Economics (LSE) found
that too much shouting and giving severe punishments were producing an opposite result. Ignoring
naughty children also appeared to lead to a decrease in discipline standards.
Researchers said that “reasoning with children” was more likely to have a positive impact on
their behavior at a young age. But the study warned that it was difficult to determine a direct link
between one parenting style and its outcomes because of the effect of other causes.
The latest study was based on an analysis of almost 19, 000 children. Data was collected from
parents just before their children's first birthdays, and then when they turned three, five and seven.
The study, led by Dr Laure De Preux, assessed the impact of various parenting styles on children.
Researchers said,“Particularly excessive (过度 的) shouting, punishing or ignoring a naughty
child increases his behavior problems, and only reasoning doesn't negatively impact the child's
behavior.”
But the study also showed that a large number of other things such as economic conditions also
impacted on children's development. The result suggested that wealthier families were able to create
a whole environment that clearly benefited the child beyond simple effect of parenting. It said
children in poor households in particular were affected by their mother's parenting styles.
“In this group, behavior problems are reduced when mothers read to the naughty children, and
increased when mothers shout at them, take treats away, or ignore them,” it said.
It is the latest in a line of recent studies to assess the link between parenting and children's
behavior.
Two years ago, a report commissioned ( 委 托 ) by the Department for Education found that
severe and inconsistent discipline in the home was bringing up a generation of young children with anger management problems, poor attention and low levels of learning ability.
27. The underlined part “ step out of line ” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.
A. lose confidence B. behave badly
C. become excited D. achieve success
28. Which may help solve children's behavior problems?
A. Punishing them lightly. B. Talking with them reasonably.
C. Ignoring them once in a while. D. Exercising strict discipline over them.
29. What did the research focus on?
A. How mothers looked at their parenting role.
B. Why many children had behavior problems.
C. How parenting styles affected children's development.
D. Why parents gave their children severe punishments.
30. What do we learn about the report in the last paragraph?
A. Its findings go against those of the LSE's study.
B. Its subject is similar to that of the LSE's study.
C. It shows the benefits of strict discipline.
D. It has discovered new problems of children

I was giving my 5-year-old a bath one night when she looked out of the window at our fence
and announced, “You know, Mamma, sometimes looking at trees helps you to think.” 31 What a
deep observation from a little child. “You are right,” I encouraged. “What are you thinking about?”
Lately, there have been a lot of changes going on in my life at work. Business has been hard
and I have been doing a lot of consulting for customers who haven’t been able to afford help. 32 I
have a need and desire to help, but I often say “Yes” when my wallet should be saying “No!”
The last few years have been such a struggle for so many of my customers from so many walks
of life. 33 Worse yet, I always have a voice in the back of my head that says if I don’t relax or learn
a better way to deal with stress, cancer might come near!
So when my daughter said that sentence, I promised to spend more time in nature. 34 It is so
grounding and so healing. I have traded a few gym days for hikes in the hills above my house. 35 I
am always more clear-headed after that. So I plan on spending some time this summer in southern
California, enjoying thinking at the base of an old, wise tree — with my daughter of course.
A. I struggle with this.
B. What she said is so true.
C. My health is on the downside.

个完整的故事。
The worst tourist in the world may be Nicholas Scottie. Once he flew from San Francisco in the
U. S. to his hometown in Italy, he had some troubles on his journey. The night before, he stayed up
late to deal with some emails, so when he boarded on the plane he decided to have a sleep. Hours
later, he was woken up by some noise and he found the plane had landed.
As he thought he had arrived home, Mr. Scottie got off the plane. He thought he was in Rome.
However, the truth was that the plane made a one hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New
York.
Mr. Scottie waited at the airport for some while, but nobody was there to meet him. He thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic, which was very common in Rome. He decided to give his
family a phone call. Unfortunately, he found he had left his cellphone at the hotel in San Francisco.
Therefore, he decided to go home by himself. While he was walking in the city, Mr. Scottie found
that the old “Rome” had changed a lot. Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones. He
also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in
English. What made him most surprised was that drivers’ awareness of traffic safety was improved
and he hardly found any driver speeding on the road. All cars were driving in line. The condition
was widely different from that in the past. He was feeling proud.
Mr. Scottie knew very little English, so he asked a policeman the way to the bus station.
Luckily, he happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same
language. Mr. Scottie thanked him, left, quickly found the bus station and got on a bus. He looked
outside of the bus window.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for reading my letter. I’m Li Hua from Xinhua Middle School. Since COVID-19
has transmitted all over China, I’d like very much to be a volunteer.
All our citizens are looking forward to playing a part in fighting against the virus, so am I.
Here are some things I can do. First, I can help to clean up our International Student Service Center.
I know a clean and tidy environment can stop the virus from transmitting. Then, I’m willing to help
take the oversea students’ temperature and urge them to wear their masks properly at the entrance of
our sevice center. Besides, I can help give out the masks and notices at the gate of Xiashang
Supermarket. What’s more, I’m good at getting along with these oversea students. I have a good
command of English so that it’s easy for me to teach them how to wash hands correctly and put the
used masks in the special trash bins.
To sum up, I believe I can be a qualified volunteer. I will try my best if I’m accepted.
Yours
Li Hua
读后续写 One possible version:
After twelve hours’ traveling round on the bus, Mr. Scottie thought to himself that Rome had
changed so much that he even failed to find his home. The bus driver had to leave work and go
home, so he handed Mr. Scottie over to another policeman. Mr. Scottie asked the policeman, “Sir,
could you tell me why the police employ so many people speaking English instead of Italian as
policemen?”The policeman smiled and said, “I’m sorry to tell you that you are in New York, but not
Rome now.”However, Mr. Scottie did not believe he was in New York when he was told so.
To get him on a plane back to San Francisco, he was sent to the airport in a police car with
sirens (警报) on. The driver was speeding on the road and didn’t stop even when the red light shined.
Seeing how the driver drove on the road, Mr. Scottie was certain that he was in Rome because
people in Rome usually drove in that way.“Look,” said Mr. Scottie to the policeman sitting beside
him, “I’m sure that I’m in Rome. That’s the way in which people drive.” 选做题参考答
