第 Ⅰ 卷

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

I got invited to go with some friends to a game at another

school. A senior will be driving us, and I think she’s a good

driver, but it’s someone my parents don’t know. I want to tell

my parents where I’m going, but what if I ask and they say

“no”? I’ll end up wishing I never mentioned it and just went

ahead and did it anyway.

If you want more privileges, it’s best to build a track record of honesty and trust. Letting a

parent know where you’re going is always a good idea.

You may worry that telling your parents puts you at risk of getting “no” for an answer. But

there’s a good chance your parents might be OK with you going. If you go but don’t tell them,

you risk losing something more important — your parents’ trust.

Parents who find out their kids did something behind their backs may be less likely to give

permission to do things in the future. When trust is broken like this, parents wonder if teens are

trying to hide something — and what they imagine can be far worse than the reality.

Before you talk to your parents about the game, think about which approach will help them

feel most comfortable with giving you more freedom. Maybe they’d like to meet the person

driving or talk to friends who have driven with her in the past. If your parents have questions or

hesitate about letting you go, find out what their worries are and then do your best to answer

them.

A. appears nervous

B. looks worried

C. feels confused

D. seems discouraged

22. What is the best way to get parents’ permission according to the passage?

B

What are you feeling right now as you start to read this? Are you curious? Hope that you’ll

learn something about yourself? Bored because this is something you have to do for school and

you’re not really into it — or happy because it’s a school project you enjoy? Perhaps you’re

attracted by something else, like feeling excited about your weekend plans or sad because you

just went through a breakup.

Emotions（情感）like these are part of human nature. They give us information about what

we’re experiencing and help us know how to react.

We sense our emotions from the time we’re babies. Young children react to their emotions

with facial expressions or with actions like laughing or crying. They feel and show emotions, but

they don’t yet have the ability to name the emotion or say why they feel that way.

As we grow up, we become more skilled in understanding emotions. Instead of just reacting

like little kids do, we can identify what we feel and put it into words. With time and practice, we

get better at knowing what we are feeling and why. This skill is called emotional awareness.

Emotional awareness helps us know what we need and want, or don’t want! It helps us

build better relationships. That’s because being aware of our emotions can help us talk about

feelings more clearly, avoid or settle conflicts better, and move past difficult feelings more

easily.

Some people are naturally more in touch with their emotions than others. The good news is

that everyone can be more aware of their emotions. It just takes practice. But it’s worth the effort.

Emotional awareness is the first step toward building emotional intelligence, a skill that can help

people succeed in life.

25. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. Types of emotions.

B. The topic to discuss.

C. Part of human nature.

D. Ways to react to things.

26. How do young children react to emotions?

A. With laughter and shouts.

B. With signs and expressions.

C. With gestures of different kinds.

D. With facial expressions and actions.

27. From the passage we know that emotional awareness actually _________.

A. enables us to live in society more easily

B. lets people understand others better

C. brings about conflicts between people

D. smooths away difficulties in our life

28. Where is the passage probably taken from?

A. A science fiction.

B. An advertisement.

C. A science magazine.

D. A television show.

C

Though for many of us the year ahead may look pretty depressing, 2016 promises one great

breakthrough — a major step toward ending Africa’s particular and backward form of the great

Digital Divide.

Poor connectivity has bedeviled much of the continent’s internet access but now a huge

improvement is coming. It’s a new sub-sea cable, to be laid off Africa’s eastern coastline,

enabling a reliable and affordable international connectivity service to both coastal and

landlocked countries in Eastern, Central and Southern Africa.

The project is being developed by Liquid Sea, an offshore branch of Liquid Telecom, which

already runs a pan-African network based on land cable supported by satellite links for rural and

remote areas. Altogether, with offices from South Africa and Botswana in the south to Kenya in

the East, taking in Democratic Republic of Congo in the center, it makes up the continent’s

largest single connecting network crossing multiple national borders.

Africa has benefited in many ways from the digital revolution, but internet coverage still

differs from place to place.

And the unpleasant truth is that, despite some great advance in African development over

the last decade and more, its effects are unequal and taken as a whole, less than 16 percent of

Africans have access to the Internet, which compares that with 63 percent of Europeans and 79

percent of North Americans.

It’s obvious what a disadvantage is placed upon Africans by such digital inequality. The

economics of the entire process is skewed（歪的）by poor network performance in Africa, with

the total bandwidth available to shuttle data back and forth between African countries and the

rest of the world amounting to less than 1 terabit per second. That’s about one-seventieth of

Europe’s international bandwidth capacity（容量）.

Now Liquid Sea’s underwater cable stretching from eastern South Africa to the Middle East,

with onward connections to Europe, aims to contribute much more in building Africa’s better

connected digital future.

29. What does “bedeviled” most probably mean in Paragraph 2?

A. attracted

B. troubled

C. worsened

D. contributed

30. What would the Internet be like in Africa in the future?

A. Dependable and inexpensive .

B. Accessible and comfortable.

C. Central and controllable.

D. Possible and comparable.

31. What is implied in the passage?

A. International bandwidth capacity makes no difference.

B. Internet connections improve the equality in Africa.

C. Poor internet access limits the economy of Africa.

D. Africa is now far beyond developed countries.

32. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Unsafe Internet access in Africa

B. Digital-gap narrowing in Africa

C. Bandwidth available in Africa

D. Great Digital Divide in Africa

D

33. What kind of person is Mary Portas？

A. A woman of big trouble.

B. A woman of new fashion.

D. A woman with strong determination.

34. The on-going drama Dickensian is pieced together by _________.

A. Tony Jordan’s novel opinion

C. Inspect Bucket’s murder charge

D. Stephen Rea’s particular treat

35. What can be concluded from “Three Days of Terror”?

A. The survivors will no longer live in Paris.

B. Cartoons are not to be drawn in the magazine.

C. Islamist fanatics may commit more crimes.

D. The witnesses helped catch the killers.

Researchers have shown that your talent for happiness is, to a large degree, determined by

your genes（基因）. 36 We can do this by overcoming negative emotions and

developing positive emotions.

Strategy（策略）1: 37

The first step is to make a choice to be happy. In Seeking Happiness, Bertrand Russell said,

“Happiness must be an achievement rather than a gift of the gods, and in this achievement, effort

must play a great part.”

Once you’ve decided to be happier, you can choose strategies for achieving happiness.

Strategy 2: Develop gratitude（感激）.

In Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a

daily “gratitude exercise”. 38

Strategy 3: Remember, money can’t buy happiness.

Research shows: 39 Yes, “we always think that some things are wrong because

they cannot bring us happiness,” writes Daniel Gilbert in Stumbling on Happiness.

Strategy 4: Take part in meaningful activities.

“People are seldom happier,” says Jackson, “than when they’re doing meaningful activities”.

Yet, he has found that the most common leisure（休闲）activity — watching TV — produces

some of the lowest levels of happiness. 40 Active leisure that helps a person grow does

not come easily, he writes in Finding Flow.

A. Achieve happiness.

B. Choose to be happy.

C. Yet, psychologists believe we can pursue happiness.

D. To get more out of life, we need to put more into it.

E. Happiness is decided by a good many aspects.

F. This shifts people away from bitterness, and promotes happiness.

G. More money doesn’t necessarily bring extra happines
