6．阅读理解

Jane Austen is loved mainly as a charming guide to fashionable life in the Regency period (英国摄政时期). She is admired for describing a world of elegant houses, dances, servants and fashionable young men driving barouches (四轮四座大马车). But her own vision of her task was completely different. She was an ambitious and strict moralist. She was highly conscious of human failings and she had a deep desire to make people nicer: less selfish, more reasonable and more sensitive to the needs of others.

In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bonnet start off heartily disliking each other and then, gradually realize they are in love. They make one of the great romantic couples. He is handsome, rich and well connected; she is pretty, smart and lively. But why actually are they right

for one another?

Jane Austen is very clear. It's for a reason we tend not to think of very much today: It is because each can educate and improve the other. When Mr. Darcy arrives in the neighborhood, he feels "superior" to everyone else, because he has more money and higher status. At a key moment, Elizabeth condemns his arrogance (自大) and pride to his face. It sounds offensive in the extreme, but later he admits that this was just what he needed.

Mostly, we tend to think of love as liking someone for who they already are, and of total acceptance. But the person who is right for us, Austen is saying, is not simply someone who makes us feel relaxed or comfortable; they got to be able to help us overcome our failings and become more mature, more honest and kinder—and we need to do something similar for them.（1）What do we know about Jane Austen from paragraph 1?

A. She lived a fashionable life.

B. She wrote about the life of the rich.

C. She knew exactly human virtues.

D. She was nicer to less selfish people.

（2）What can we learn about Mr. Darcy from the text?

A. He dislikes Elizabeth from the beginning to the end.

B. He is handsome, rich and rather modest.

C. He is kind to everyone in the neighborhood.

D. He needs Elizabeth to point out his shortcomings.

（3）Which person is right for you according to Jane Austen?

A. A person that you like for who he or she is.

B. A person with whom you feel really relaxed.

C. A person making you become a better man or woman.

D. A person who does something similar to you.

（4）What message does the book Pride and Prejudice convey?

A. Improve yourself with your lover's help.

B. Accept the people you love totally.

C. Earn much money to make people love you.

D. Find your true love with pride and prejudice.

【答案】（1）B

（2）D

（3）C

（4）A

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了简·奥斯丁的著作《傲慢与偏见》中传达了在

爱人的帮助下提高自己的思想。简·奥斯丁认为一个让你成为更好的男人或女人的人最适合

你。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的”She is admired for describing a world of elegant houses,

她因描述了一个充满优雅的房dances, servants and fashionable young men driving bar ouches.“

生活。故选B。

在关键时刻，伊丽莎白当面谴责了他的傲慢和骄傲。这听起来很

无礼，但后来他承认这正是他所需要的。可知达西先生需要伊丽莎白指出他的缺点。故选

D。

的人;他们必须能够帮助我们克服失败，变得更成熟、更诚实、更善良——我们需要为他们

做一些类似的事情。可知简·奥斯丁认为一个让你成为更好的男人或女人的人最适合你。故

选C。

这是一个我们今天很少想到的原today: It is because each can educate and improve the other.“

因:因为每个人都可以教育且帮助对方提高。可知《傲慢与偏见》这本书传达了在爱人的帮

If you follow these insider tips, your photos will look like you had the place to yourself at the popular tourist attractions.

Vatican Museums: Vatican City

The Vatican draws more than five million people each year, and queues can reach four hours during peak season. Christie Hudson, senior communications manager at Expedia, recommends, choosing a skip-the-1ine tour. "This not only lets you avoid the ticket counter, but also includes

the use of a private partner entrance." Extra time to visit the Sistine Chapel? Yes!

Bamboo Forest: Kyoto, Japan

Bamboo Forest is the most worthy sight in Kyoto. If you're longing to enjoy the pathways and

take pictures in total quietness, Kyoto Arashiyama Travel Guide recommends hitting the famous Bamboo Grove Path as early in the morning as possible—think 7 a.m. if you're up for it. Don't

miss these hidden treasures you can only witness in Japan.

Chichen Itza: Yucatán, Mexico

Home to E1 Castillo and the Temple of the Warriors, Chichen Itza is a must-see. Want to beat

the rush? Schedule an early tour that takes place before a site opens to the public. Led by an archaeologist guide, it's full of fascinating insights and facts—without tons of pack-wearing tourists.

Louvre Museum: Paris, France

The Louvre is one of the most popular museums on the planet. If waiting around in line to get

in isn't the way you prefer to spend your time in Paris, consider purchasing a reserved ticket. This

will give you entry to the pyramid within a half-hour window. The Louvre is also open until 9:45 p.

m. on Wednesdays and Fridays, if you're up for some late-night art visits.

8．阅读理解

Over the next decade, technology will decimate more jobs in many professions.

Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does welding (焊接) will be less than $2 per hour, for example. That's more affordable than the $25 per hour that a human welder earns today in America.

Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don't need a driver in the driver's seat. According to the American Trucking Associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers were employed in the United States in 2010, and 6. 8 million others were employed in other jobs relating to trucking activity. So roughly one of every 15 workers in the country is employed in the trucking business. We could be talking about millions of jobs disappearing in the early 2020s.

And then there is the "Gig Economy (零工经济)" that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. Uber has already done this to taxi drivers, and other technology companies are doing it to a wide range of jobs. A study by Intuit predicted that, by 2020, 40% of American workers will be self-employed, and that full-time jobs will be harder to

find. We are talking about 60 million people in this category. The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can't enjoy health insurance

and longer-term benefits.

The measures to be taken are to raise trade barriers. But closing the doors to foreign trade won't bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking

the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss.

（1）The underlined word "decimate" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by "______".

A. make someone interested in

B. equip someone for

C. wipe out

D. bring back

（2）What will happen with technologies developing according to the text?

A. Robots will become smarter and smarter.

B. Uber's labor cost will be lower and lower.

C. More and more truck drivers will be needed.

D. Taxi drivers can enjoy more health insurance.

（3）Which of the following is an advantage of a full-time job?

A. It may be flexible.

B. It may offer sick pay.

C. It is full of adventure.

D. It is always well-paid.

（4）Which of the following does the writer agree on?

A. Welcoming foreign trade.

B. Offering more part-time jobs.

C. Using fewer robots to stop job loss.

D. Developing more new technologies.

（5）What's the writer's main purpose in writing the text?

A. To show technology advances in our daily life.

B. To prove technologies cause low incomes.

C. To introduce what the Gig Economy is.

D. To warn the Gig Economy is coming.

【答案】（1）C

（2）B

（3）B

（4）A

（5）D

【解析】【分析】短文大意：本文主要介绍了随着技术进步，很多公司使用更多的机器

人，不再需要很多全职工人，零工经济时代很快就会到来，并举出Uber公司的例子加以说明。

（1）词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句"Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. "可知机器人的成本比人力更

便宜，未来很多公司会更多使用机器人。也就是说机器人会夺走很多人的工作，故C项正确。

（2）推理判断题。根据第三段第一句"Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don't need a driver in the driver's seat. "可知Uber公司开发了无人驾驶技术，会大大地减少雇佣司机的工资付出，公司的运营成本会越来越低。故B项正确。

（3）推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句"The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can't enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits. "可知兼职工作的人无法享受生病工资，也就是说全职工作的人可以享受sick pay，这也是全职工作的优势，故B项正确。

（4）推理判断题。根据文章最后一句"But closing the doors to foreign trade won't bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss. "可知作者认为关闭对外贸易并不能让工作机会回归，只

会减缓全球经济发展并伤害美国的出口。由此可见作者支持对外贸易。故A项正确。

（5）推理判断题。根据文章前两段可知技术进步让公司使用更多的机器人，不再需要很

多全职工人。再根据第四段第一句"And then there is the "Gig Economy (零工经济)" that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. "可知零工经济时代很快

就会到来。故D项正确。

A study based on data gathered by a NASA sensor has revealed China and India, the world's

two most populous countries, are primarily responsible for making the Earth greener over the past two decades.

The study, published on Feb 11 in the journal Natural Sustainability, has found that since 2000

the Earth's green leaf area has increased by over 5 million square kilometers. That's an area equivalent to the total of the Amazon rainforests. "China and India account for one-third of the greening, considering the general idea of land degradation (退化) in populous countries from overexploitation," said Chen Chi from Boston University, lead author of the study.

The effect mainly comes from ambitious tree-planting programs in China and intensive agriculture in both countries, NASA said in a statement. China is the source of a quarter of the planet's increase in forest area, despite having only 6.6 percent of the world's vegetated (固定植被的)area, according to the study. Forest conservation and expansion programs account for 42 percent of the increase, and another 32 percent come from intensive agriculture of food crops, NASA said. While raising their green leaf areas, China and India have also greatly increased their food production through" multiple cropping" practices, where a field is replanted and crops are harvested several time each year. "Production of grains, vegetable, fruits and more have increased by about 35 to 40 percent since 2000 to feed their large population," NASA said.

Over the past decades, China has made great efforts to green the land. In 1978, the central government launched a national-level forestation project-the Three North Shelterbelt Forest Program. By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate among the regions in the project reached 13.57 percent, compared to 5.05 percent 40 years ago. In a greening project, Kubuqi Desert, seventh largest in the country, has seen one-third of its area covered by vegetation during the

past three decades thanks to forestation efforts.

（1）What have China and India contributed to according to NASA?

A. Land greening.

B. Land degradation.

C. Population explosion.

D. Forest conservation.

（2）What can we learn about "multiple cropping "practices?

A. They turn out to be ineffective.

B. They improve the food output.

C. They raise the vegetated area.

D. They allow planning once annually.

（3）What was the forest coverage rate in 1977?

A. 5.05%.

B. 6.6%.

C. 13.57%.

D. 32%.（4）How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By space.

B. By listing facts.

C. By comparison.

D. By making definition.

【答案】（1）A

（2）B

（3）A

率为5.05%,故选A。

（4）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"That's an area equivalent to the total of the Amazon rainforests.",第三段中的"China is the source of a quarter of the planet's increase in forest area, despite having only 6.6 percent of the world's vegetated (固定植被的)area,"及第四段中的"By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate among the regions in the project reached 13.57 percent, compared to 5.05 percent 40 years ago."等信息可知,文中多次用数据对过去和现在进行对比

来显示中国和印度是全球绿化努力的领导者的,因此文章是通过对比的手法展开的,故选C。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇新闻报道，考生需要
