II.阅读理解（共两节；满分25分）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Our first welcome to Britain wasn’t from the staff of Heathrow Airport or the coach driver who took us to our new city and new home for the next three weeks. It was, in fact, the noisy and energetic seagulls (海鸥) full of songs that flew down to us. When leaving from the plane exits, we still could hear their loud and clear songs through the glasses. It was unbelievable that they lifted our spirits and cheered us up after our stupidly long and awful journey.
These seagulls welcomed us into the new home with open wings. If they could speak instead of merely squawking (鸟叫), I’m sure we would have established some bright and harmonious relationship. They liked to hover (盘旋) overhead around with childlike greetings or just simply walk fearlessly close to our feet. Some of us saved bread our host family prepared for these friends and really enjoyed their company.
But my hostess, Julie, doesn’t think so. Strangely enough, she couldn’t give any reasons. The squawk-proof double-glazing that is closed explains. Perhaps she prefers to sleep with her windows open but she always fails to do that, because those birds seem to enjoy staying up till next morning, doing nothing but scream. And they decide to keep doing so every single night. Furthermore, every time she has to wash the marble floor of the gardens, Julie would look up around, curse (咒骂) the seagulls for droppings and say to me with a sad smile, “They are friendly to you.”
But stop thinking that she hates the creatures and never plans to have a change, because there is another side to her evident feelings towards the birds. Every time we go shopping, Julie never forgets to put a big bag of wild birdseed into her carriage which costs quite more than milks or juices for one week. I can see what it goes for since she refills the wild bird feeder before a big hurry to drive to work every morning and when working she knows what is happening back at home — seagulls are enjoying the seed.
I’m leaving soon and not likely, though I hope not, to get back to see my friends here in England in the future. I said I would miss all friends living here including the seagulls. And when Julie was refilling the feeder again, she said, “They’re nice but they are not my friends.”
21. According to the first paragraph, we can know that __________________.
A. people in Britain didn’t welcome the newcomers
B. the seagulls were all the more energetic and friendly than the local people
C. the author felt surprised to find seagulls shortly after the plane landed
D. the author’s spirits sank at the sight of noisy and stupid seagulls
22. What does “The squawk-proof double-glazing” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A window used to keep noise out.
B. Birdseed used to feed the seagulls.
C. A net used for capturing birds.
D. A cage used for keeping birds.
23. Julie said the seagulls were nice but not her friends for the following reasons EXCEPT that_________________.
A. the seagulls were the source of noise every night
B. her garden became dirty due to the seagulls
C. the seagulls were friendly to her guests
D. the birdseeds cost her large amounts of money
24. The passage is most possibly taken from ___________________.
A. a popular science book about birds
B. a travel brochure for London
C. a guidebook on how to feed the birds
D. a magazine about travelling
B
Sporting activities are important improved forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his hunted animals into a goal-mouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s victory of killing his preys (猎物).
To understand how this transformation has taken place we must look back at our forefathers (先父). They spent over a million years evolving (进化) as cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting-field. Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers. They cooperated as skillful male-group attackers.
Then about ten thousand years ago, after this extremely long period of hunting their food, they became
farmers. Their improved intelligence, so significant to their old hunting life, was put to a new use — that of controlling and domesticating (驯化) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer necessary for survival.
The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new ways to practice them. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting orders but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against preys that were no longer important to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten but there were other simpler ways of getting a meaty meal.
25. The author uses the example of the football game to tell us _______________.
A. sporting activities are forms of biological developments
B. the difference between sports and hunting
C. the reason why man used to go in for hunting
D. sporting activities have actually evolved from hunting
26. The word “operation” in the last paragraph refers to _______________.
A. sporting activities
B. domesticating wild animals
C. growing crops
D. chasing and killing wild animals
27. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Sporting activities satisfy the desire of modern men to practice hunting skills which the forefathers
developed for survival.
B. It is farming that brings human into close contact with nature.
C. Sporting activities are important to human existence because they excuse humans from risks and
uncertainties.
D. It is farming that makes hunting completely out of date and unnecessary.

Meghan is a professional Instagram star. She gets paid to climb beautiful mountains, photograph their glittering summits and post about her adventures to her fans.
Meghan graduated from Seattle University’s School of Law in 2016. But she decided she didn’t want to become a lawyer. Her parents were shocked by her decision. “They were worried about what I was going to do, for it was an unstable job.”
But her legal (法律的) skills haven’t gone to waste. Once sponsors (赞助商) express an interest in working with her, there’s the challenging task of negotiation (协商). And the work is still unfinished even after she’s taken the photos. When Meghan returns from her adventures, she carefully edits the images and writes words to go along with them. Sometimes, although the posts are public, businesses don’t pay on time. That’s when she needs to follow up. Her least favorite problem is when she discovers that a sponsor has used her photos in a way that breaks the contract (合同). That usually leads to time-consuming email exchanges.
Social media influencing never seems that easy. The stress it creates even has its own name: creator burnout. Meghan used to repeatedly check her post’s performance, which she says will “drive you crazy”, so she stops. But if she doesn’t reply, fans will stop commenting. Without that engagement on her posts, sponsors won’t want to keep paying her. Therefore, she has to accept the fact that she’ll be glued to her phone as long as she’s in this line of work.
Beyond the day-to-day headaches of a career online, social media’s uncertainty also causes problems for creators. There are times when Meghan is staring at the calendar without another project in the works. In the long term, it can be risky to focus a career on a single platform, or even on social media itself.
Yet Meghan says it’s all been worth it, because the sponsorship allows her to spend much of her life in the mountains. Her ideal day starts with unzipping her tent at dawn so she can take pictures of the sunrise reflecting on snowy summits around her. Few jobs in the world would allow her to do that so consistently.
28. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The main work for an Instagram star is to exchange emails.
B. The difficulties that every Instagram star will meet.
C. How to deal with dishonest companies.
D. How Meghan’s legal skills help her work.
29. According to the article, all of the following are problems with being a social media influencer EXCEPT________________.
A. There are a lot of difficult tasks when dealing with sponsors.
B. The work of photo-taking and image-editing is difficult to deal with.
C. The income is unstable and job’s advancement opportunities are uncertain.
D. It is stressful to check one’s phone and to interact with fans all the time.
30. According to the article, what is Meghan’s attitude toward her career as a full-influencer?
A. Worried.
B. Bored.
C. Satisfied
D. Confident.

How to fight laziness?
Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be overcome if a few changes have been made.
31 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people are too tired and sleepy to do anything after returning home. So you’d better fight laziness by adjusting (调整) your sleep schedule.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people live as if they were pushed from task to task. 32 They regard each task as a meaningful challenge they must overcome alone.
Some people fight laziness by removing temptations (诱惑) around them. A television in the living room may provide pleasure, but watching too much TV often leads to laziness. 33 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can spread if not dealt with immediately. 34 You may collect and wash dishes after a meal before others take action, and they may follow your footsteps and perform their own tasks.
35 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and helping lift your spirits.
A. To fight family laziness, be the first one to act.
B. One way to fight laziness is to get enough rest.
C. Taking exercise regularly is also helpful.
D. Others, however, take a more positive attitude.
E. Finally, you will be able to fight it if you have enough free time.
F. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.
G. These endless tasks almost drive them crazy.

Dear Peter,
I’m terribly sorry to hear that you are having difficulty learning Chinese. In fact, it is natural to face hardship in learning a foreign language, so please be cheerful and confident.
Here are my suggestions. Firstly, it would be a nice choice to spend more time speaking. Only by talking will you master the language orally. Moreover, reading some short Chinese novels is a good idea, which arouses your interest and passion. Above all, don’t lose heart whatever difficulty you face.
I hope my advice can help you learn Chinese effectively and efficiently. I firmly believe you will make rapid progress.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
