第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。
A
There's nothing quite like wilderness to calm the spirit and recharge the batteries. These great open spaces around the world should help to inspire future travels and to offer some mental shelter.
Alaska
America's coolest state: Low summer temperatures make Alaska a great place to beat the heat. The scenery is a wonderful draw, too. There are whales, wolves and bears, glaciers, forest, and
snowcapped peaks that have rarely been climbed.
As America's "Last Frontier", it boasts more real wilderness covered with huge national parks and preserves, as well as the largest and most remote state park in the United States. Backpack camping and mountaineering count among the many outdoor adventures here.
Patagonia (Chile)
Located at the opposite end of the Western Hemisphere, the Patagonian region of southern Chile and Argentina offers many of the same attractions as Alaska: glaciers, fjords, copious wildlife and snowy peaks protected within the limits of multiple national parks.
There are several great ways that independent travelers can explore the region. You can cruise the long and winding Carretera Austral, a one-way journey of more than 1,200 kilometers (770 miles) with 10 national parks along the way.
The Pyrenees (France and Spain)
The Alps get all the credit for being Europe's greatest mountains. And with Mont Blanc, they certainly have the highest peak in the west of the continent. But when it comes to pure wilderness escape-and long-distance backpack camping-nothing beats the Pyrenees that cross the border region of France and Spain.
The classic route is a trek which passes from one country into another via the spectacular Breche de Roland, a mountain pass named for the medieval knight(中世纪骑士).
Lapland (Finland, Norway and Sweden)
Home to the nomadic(游牧的)Sámi people and their reindeer herds for around 3, 500 years, the northern reaches of Finland, Norway and Sweden embrace Europe's single largest wilderness area.
Ultraremote national parks offer plenty of scope for hiking, camping and boating by summer or cross-skiing, snowshoeing and snow camping in winter. Lapland also provides the best chance in Western Europe to see creatures such as the brown bear, wolverine, Arctic fox, moose and reindeer in their natural habitat.
21. If you want to see the glaciers in the wild, which are the suitable places?
A. The Pyrenees and Lapland. B. Alaska and Patagonia.
C. Patagonia and the Pyrenees. D. Alaska and the Pyrenees.
22. What is a recommended activity in Lapland?
A. Watching wild animals. B. Boating all year round.
C. Feeding various bears. D. Experiencing nomadic life.
23. What is the apparent similarity between the Pyrenees and Lapland?
A. The climate. B. The history. C. The cross-border wildness. D. The unique wildlife.
B
Last summer, Katie Steller stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her car window. "Hey!" she shouted. "I'm driving around giving free haircuts. If I go grab my chair, do you want one right now?" "No problem" he said. "I'll be right back." Steller said. She drove off, went to the salon she owns, and loaded a red chair into her car. Then she drove back. The man, named Edward, took a seat, and she cut his curly graying hair. After Steller was done, Edward looked in a mirror. "I look good!" he said.
To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. These clients are all living on the margins, and she is fully aware of the power of her cleanup job. "It's more than a haircut," she says. "I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships."
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers: as a teen, she suffered from a disease called ulcerative colitis(溃疡性结肠炎)that was so severe and her hair thinned suddenly. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller's first professional haircut. "To sit down and have somebody talk to me like a person, it helped me feel cared about." she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she'd felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project.
Steller listens to people's stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet. The attention apparently works. When she was cutting a woman's hair one day, someone drove by and yelled, "You look amazing!" The woman in the chair smiled very happily. "I'm not unnoticed," she exclaimed. "Look, people see me!" "The way you show up in the world matters," says Steller. "You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them."
24. Steller gives haircuts to those who .
A. live with low social status B. live in the countryside
C. live on the edge of the cities D. live in small communities
25. What inspired Steller to start her Red Chair Project?
A. Her generosity to the poor. B. Her experience in illness.
C. Her fear of being alone. D. Her skill of doing hair.
26. How did the woman in the chair feel?
A. Confident. B. Shy. C. Shocked. D. Cheerful.
27. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Simple Action of Kindness. B. A Successful Salon Owner.
C. The Power of Free Cuts. D. The Change of Life.
C
As the cost of a university education continues to balloon, many wonder whether the return on the investment(投资)is worth it and if there might be alternative paths to job success.
Enter micro-credentials(微证书).
Simon Nelson, CEO of FutureLearn, a UK-based learning platform that partners with universities to provide massive open online courses (MOOCs), believes that micro-credentials arose out of three global "macro trends". One is the rapidly-growing demand for high-quality higher education in developing societies, while the second is the digital transformation that has taken place in many industries. This change is "broadening the traditional skills gap", says Nelson, and universities aren't providing the training for the "range of new skills that are in high demand". The third aspect is the digitization of the higher education sector, he adds. It's no longer enough to obtain a degree; having a job now requires people to upskill continuously, yet "people can't take the time out of their lives to attend physical establishments".
Many individuals already use micro-credentials to broaden their skillsets. Still, some have suggested that in the future, a potential employee might be able to combine these credentials together in place of a university degree. The idea is that it would be more accessible and provide a more affordable-perhaps more targeted-path into employment.
But according to research conducted in 2018 by Sean Gallagher, the founder and executive director of Northeastern University's Center for the Future of Higher Education and Talent Strategy, that doesn't mean university degrees don't have significant value. When he surveyed 750 human resource leaders in US companies across various industries, Gallagher found that many of the applicants were degree-holders who had obtained micro-credentials to add their main qualification, rather than accumulating certificates as an alternative.
For employers to buy into micro-credentials as an alternative, there needs to be data that proves
employees with micro-credentials can perform better, or at least just as well as those with university degrees. "That type of data doesn't exist quite yet." says Gallagher.
28. What does the underlined word "balloon" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Change. B. Increase. C. Fly. D. Shrink.
29. Why did micro-credentials come into being?
A. To improve higher education. B. To update occupational skills.
C. To replace main qualification. D. To decrease working hours.
30. What might be the advantage of micro-credentials?
A. Reasonable cost. B. Ambitious target.
C. Wide recognition. D. Instant accessibility.
31. What is Sean Gallagher's attitude to the future of micro-credentials?
A. Positive. B. Ambiguous. C. Cautious. D. Uninterested.

After United Airlines baggage handlers broke Dave Carroll's $ 3,500 guitar during a 2008 flight, he spent months fruitlessly seeking compensation. Then he created a music video about the experience and posted it on YouTube. "United Breaks Guitars" soon went viral(疯狂传播), causing the airline to try to improve matters-but the reputational damage had been done. Among the 1.5 million viewers, many "liked" and shared it along with their similar experiences.
"A firestorm can erupt when someone puts up a complaint and other customers follow suit," says Dennis Herhausen, a professor at KEDGE Business School. In a recent study, he and his colleagues looked at 472,995 negative comments posted in the Facebook communities of 89 firms. To assess the relationship between a post's author and the rest of the online community, they counted their communications; the higher the number, the stronger the tie and the greater the likelihood that the person served as an influencer. They also measured the language similarity between each post and the community's overall content.
Of the nearly half a million posts in the study, those that went viral fell into these patterns: posts containing strong emotions were more likely to spread. Strong ties between a post's author and the community drove contagion(传播), as did language similarity. An active member of the community saying "delete this company" in language very similar to the rest of the community's-that's a risky situation for the firm.
Firms' responses, then, mainly included: firms suggested moving the conversation to a private channel, apologized, provided an explanation, expressed empathy(共情), and offered compensation. The first two, when communicated right away, generally lowered virality. Offering to compensate an unhappy customer immediately had the opposite effect. In general, early expressions of empathy were more effective than explanations. Yet, if customers are extremely upset, an empathetic reply may feed their dissatisfaction, while a rational, fact-based explanation often helps cool them down.
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to online complaints, and as a firestorm develops, a company should take care to limit permanent damage to a company's reputation and fortunes with appropriate handling.
32. What do we know about the incident about Dave Caroll's guitar?
A. The music video met with mixed responses. B. A compensation was negotiated in private.
C. Dave advocated boycotting United Airlines. D. United Airlines should have acted sooner.
33. What does the underlined words "the person" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Staff member of a firm. B. Sender of a complaint.
C. Organizer of a community. D. Speaker of a certain language.
34. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. Signs to identify potential firestorms. B. Conflicts between firms and customers.
C. Things that bond a community closer. D. Process in which a post went viral.
35. As to handling online complaints, which would the researchers probably suggest?
A. Delay compensation as much as possible. B. Favor explanations over empathetic replies.
C. Value customers' interests above all else. D. Vary the strategy based on specific cases.

He reminds children to wash between the fingers and the tops of the hands. 39 This silly blue Muppet teaches children how to safely cough and sneeze. He even uses a checklist that includes breakfast, brushing his teeth and exercise.
40 A set of things children normally do can help them stay healthy. Even though things may be a little different right now, health experts recommend having a regular procedure every day while isolated(隔离). By doing so, parents and caregivers can give their children and themselves a sense of stability in this new normal.

Today, we will examine some 61 (use) no-cost things you can do before you study to help you improve your memory and learning. Three important ideas 62 (think) about before studying include exercise, study place and pre-study tests.
Before you study, doing cardiovascular exercise(有氧运动)may help you better remember what you learn. Violent exercise may be especially helpful. So far, researchers have suggested combining 63 two to get the best effects for your memory. The important idea is this: exercise 64 (be) good for your memory.
Where you study is also important for improving your learning. Researchers find that 65 (surround) play a big part in how well people remember the words. 66 it is good to have a desk or a special study area, some research suggests that changing where you study could help you remember 67 (much) of what you study.
Testing is a good way of 68 (make) yourself remember new information. In 2018, researchers found that students who took a test before learning a new material did much better after studying the material. The students failed the test, but they were better able to remember the material than students who 69 (ask) only to read the information. So try to take a pre-study test. While you might not know the answer, you will probably be better able to learn and remember the answer when you study 70 later.
