第二部分 阅读（共两节、满分50分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

With the attractive scenery and the possibility of a monster （怪物） sighting, Loch Ness is the one of those rare destinations that engages everyone.

Urquhart Castle

Captured by Edward 1 in 1296, this prized castle changed hands between the Scots and English on several occasions. Though ruined today, it’s still possible to climb the Grant Tower and visit the battlements and prison cells. A cafe and visitor centre offer modern facilities in historic surroundings.

The Loch Ness Centre

For those who wish to digest the complete history of Loch Ness, this centre is particularly good at documenting the history of this mysterious stretch of water, including many attempts to search for Nessie, the infamous monster. It also holds curious artifacts （古器物） such as the diving suit worn by Lloyd Scott when he undertook his underwater marathon.

The Clansman Centre

At the south end of Loch Ness, this attraction uncovers the truth surrounding 18th-century family life. Audience members get the opportunity to put on Highland dress and there’s a demonstration on how weapons were used. The presentations take place within the recreated interior of a Highland house, adding atmosphere and authenticity （真实）.

South Loch Ness Trail

This 36-mile route invites hikers along the quieter south side of Loch Ness, passing through three villages, and taking in the Falls of Foyers. Walkers hike a mix of minor roads and forest tracks, with highlights including Suidhe Viewpoint （a mountainous view at 1,200 feet）. If it sounds too easygoing, then consider the Loch Ness 360° Trail instead for a more challenging, 80-mile route.

1. Which place best suits visitors interested in Nessie?

A. Urquhart Castle. B. The Loch Ness Centre.

C. The Clansman Centre. D. South Loch Ness Trail.

2. What is special about the Clansman Centre?

A. It provides a genuine scene. B. It displays fascinating scenery.

C. It exhibits entertaining artifacts. D. It possesses modern conveniences.

3. Which of the following would a tourist choose if he wants to challenge himself?

A. Seeking the Falls of Foyers. B. Walking along the quieter side.

C. Hiking the Loch Ness 360° Trail. D. Searching a mix of minor roads and tracks.
 

B

Tracy Garrett was the Mr Fix-it of a village where I lived for two years. I heard about mysterious doings of his late wifeMinnie. There were stories of someone who had got into trouble a proper amount of money would cure, and each ended on the same strange note: “Minnie is in hock again.”

I tried to talk with locals to solve the mystery. But at a newcomer’s spying curiosity, the villagers always avoided the issue with New England reservation. It left me completely in the dark.

Soon I began having troubles of my own. My daughter had an expensive operation, but the money I had counted on didn’t come in.

One day Garrett came to fix my sink, which never worked properly. Working silently for a while, he looked at me and said, “Understand you’ve been having a little trouble.” I was feeling bitter, but still talked it out. “Then it’s time you met Minnie,” he said decisively.

I felt a bit scared and was prepared for anything, but all that happened was that he took out a tired-looking $ 1000 bank-note. Roughly printed on it was: MINNIE.

“All you do is take Minnie to the bank and put her up for loan for any amount up to $ 1000. You pay the bank their regular rate of interest, and then Minnie comes back to me.” He continued. “Minnie loved this village, and she wanted to keep on helping people after she was gone.”

I began to understand why the town folk had been so secretive. They didn’t know whether I could be trusted with a secret so precious.

Though I moved away later, I would like to believe Minnie is still in circulation （流通）. Minnie strikes me as the kind of woman who goes on for ever.

4. Who was Tracy Garrett?

A. A banker. B. A doctor. C. A repairman. D. A gardener.

5. What is Para.2 mainly about?

A. Little was reserved for Minnie. B. “I” failed to uncover the mystery.

C. The locals were curious about newcomers. D. Minnie was talked about a lot in the village.

6. How did “I” get out of the trouble?

A. He took Minnie to the bank. B. He turned to Garrett for help.

C. He borrowed money from Minnie. D. He loaned on Minnie’s guarantee.

7. Which of the following best conveys the message?

A. Kindness is the key that unlocks the heart.

B. He who plants kindness gathers love.

C. A little kindness goes a long way.

D. It is in giving that we receive.
 

C

When I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside. It was specifically designed without any latest technology.

“What’s so innovative about that?” a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures. Innovation to her meant digital technology, like 3D printers. “Why couldn’t they both be innovative?” I asked.

We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy, without which we would be left behind. But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false trappings of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective. This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing, you have innovated! Each year, businesses and individuals run around like broken toy robots, trying to figure out their strategy for the latest buzzwordequipment.

At best, this is a waste of resources. Devices are bought, used and abandoned, as the technology’s capabilities fall short of its promise. But at its worst, this approach can truly cause damage. Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven benefits. Companies that applied A. I. into hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices.

True innovation isn’t just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting “old” ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview （后视的） innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.

Look no farther than the streets of New York, which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car-free zones. The idea isn’t new. It was created half a century ago, with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents. And while e-reader sales have been exploding, Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books, an ideal solution for a market demanding both convenience and physicality.

8. Why is a librarian mentioned?

A. To set an example. B. To cite an authority.

C. To make a prediction. D. To present an argument.

9. What does the underlined “buzzword” mean in Para.3?

A. Fashionable. B. Affordable. C. Practical. D. Imaginative.

10. What does the writer agree with about innovation?

A. Wasted resources lead to innovation. B. Magic devices encourage innovation.

C. Innovation should be human-centered. D. The power of technology is undervalued.

11. What is probably the best title of the text?

A. Innovation Is Not That Expensive B. Future Lies in Returning to the Past

C. Some Best Ideas Are in the Rearview Mirror D. Innovation: the Most Important Force in Economy
 

D

Eyes are said to be the window to the soul — but researchers at Google see them as indicators of a person’s health. A study suggests that Google’s computers can predict whether someone is at risk of a heart attack by analyzing a photograph of their retina （视网膜）.

The research relied on a convolutional neural network, a type of deep-learning algorithm （算法） that is transforming how biologists analyse images. Google’s approach is part of a wave of new deep-learning applications that are making image processing easier and could even identify overlooked biological phenomena.

The approach took off in the tech sector around 2012, but scientists struggled to apply the networks to biology, in part because of cultural differences between fields. “Take a group of smart biologists and put them in a room of smart computer scientists and they will talk two different languages to each other, and have different mindsets,” says Daphne Koller, chief computing officer at Calico.

However, through years of study, some scientists have seen a shift that has never happened before in how well machine learning can accomplish biological tasks that have to do with imaging. Others are most excited by the idea that analysing images with convolutional neural networks could unknowingly reveal unnoticeable biological phenomena, encouraging biologists to ask questions they might not have considered before.

Such discoveries could help to advance disease research. If deep learning can reveal markers of cancer in an individual cell, it could help to bring about new assumptions about how cancer spreads.

Other machine-learning experts in biology have set their sights on new frontiersnow that convolutional neural networks are taking flight for image processing. “Imaging is important, but so is chemistry and molecular （分子） data,” says Alex Wolf, a computational biologist. Wolf hopes to improve neural networks so that they can analyse gene expression. “I think there will be a very big breakthrough in the next few years,” he says.

12. What do we know about a convolutional neural network?

A. It can predict diseases. B. It is a learning machine.

C. It can transform images. D. It is an image processor.

13. What can we infer from Daphne Koller’s words?

A. Barriers exist in certain fields. B. Scientists have different research aims.

C. Characters prevent scientific cooperation. D. Technical limitation is the biggest challenge.

14. With further study of convolutional neural networks, ______.

A. many biological questions get answered

B. it drives biologists to explore the field widely

C. image analysis can go on without being noticed

D. many deep-learning applications have been improved

15. What is implied in the last paragraph?

A. Neural networks are promising. B. It is convenient to process images.

C. It is necessary to work on new frontiers. D. Analyzing gene expression is imperfect.

If you have been diagnosed with panic disorder, then you have likely experienced constant fear and anxiety. Research has shown that using relaxation techniques can help reduce nervousness.

Some common techniques include breathing exercises or yoga. ___16___Another powerful one is visualization, which can help you relieve stress. It involves using mental imagery to achieve a more relaxed state of mind.

Similar to daydreaming, visualization is accomplished through the use of your imagination. There are reasons why visualization can help you cope with panic disorder or panic attacks. ___17___When experiencing a panic attack, your mind may focus on the worry, the worst things that can happen and other concerns that only add to your sense of fearfulness. Visualization works to expand your ability to relax by focusing your mind on more calming images.

Before visualization, make sure your environment is set up for your comfort. To better relax, get rid of any distractions （干扰）, such as phones, pets or TV. ___18___Remove any heavy jewelry or restricting clothing. Get ready to relax by either sitting or lying down in a position that feels most comfortable to you. ___19___Feel free to change it to better suit your needs and imagination.

___20___Through regular practice, you will more easily be able to use visualization when you really need it, such as when you start feeling the physical symptoms of panic and anxiety.

A. Take your time and slowly open your eyes.

B. Then you may begin your visualization exercise.

C. If the scene doesn’t fit you, try your own visualization.

D. They are relatively easy to learn and can be practiced daily.

E. Consider how your thoughts wander when you feel panic or anxiety.

F. Try to find a quiet place where you will most likely be undisturbed.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was my twelfth birthday, and what I really wanted most was a new bicycle. But I knew that my family couldn’t afford one, so I settled for a bedside table with lockable drawers, a safe place to keep my private stuff.

We went to the charity shop where we found an old dark one. It didn’t look too cool, but I thought that I would paint it to make it look better.

After we took it home, I was getting ready to paint it. When I pulled the drawers out. I felt something stuck to the back. I reached in all the way, and guess what? A sealed bag with some papers in it.

When I opened the bag, I realized that the papers were official documents. And, wrapped in them were a bunch of ten and twenty dollar bills! Talk about finding a treasure! And on my birthday!

“Is this some kind of joke?” I said aloud. I went ahead and read the papers, and it turned out to be a will. Some old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren.

My mind was going crazy. Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever? With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. Who knows?

I began counting. When I reached a thousand dollars, my mother was knocking on my bedroom door. I quickly closed the drawer with the money in it.

“Do you want some help? Is everything all right?” she asked.

No, everything was not right. Actually, my stomach was growling （低吼）.

“I’m okay,” I lied.

When my mother left my room, I lay on my bed, starting thinking. What a dilemma （窘境）! I wished there were some one I could talk with. Could I keep it and get all kinds of stuff for me and my family? It wouldn’t be too bad for me to keep it, if I shared it...right? Thoughts ran through my mind. But I really didn’t need someone else to give me the answer.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom.

                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                        

Though surprised, the shop owner helped find the family’s telephone number.
