第二部分： 阅读理解（共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

With eight bloodshot eyes fixed on a flying object, the pains of a two-year project were about to bear fruit.

It was Wang Hongyi’s first test flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) （无人机）designed and assembled（组装）with his teammates from the Aero-Sport Club (航模队)at Shanghai Jiaotong University.

Wang is a senior mechanical engineering and automation major. He has been a plane model fan since childhood. As a freshman, he spent two nights building a model aircraft and took it to the sports field just for fun. Wu Junqi, the coach of Shanghai Jiaotong University’s Aero-Sport Club, spotted Wang and told him his model was out of date.

“I was a little angry, so he took me to the lab,” says Wang. He was immediately drawn to the modern equipment and decided to join the club. As a technology fan, Wang spends most of his spare time in the lab. “He loves what he’s doing, so he can stand the loneliness of doing research.” says coach Wu.

When Wang and his teammates were building UAV, they lived together in the lab. “We tried to spend as much time together as possible because there were thousands of problems that needed to be solved,” Wang says. They didn’t even have time to celebrate when the first test flight of the UAV went well. “We needed to list the problems that occurred during the flight and analyze them to find solutions,” he says.

“Our UAV isn’t finished yet, but there are many design projects and people with similar interests waiting for me,” Wang says. “The UAV is just the beginning, not the end of my aircraft journey.”

21. Why did Wang succeed in doing the research?

A. He majored in mechanical engineering and automation.

B. He had a good coach and wonderful teammates.

C. He loved what he did and would stick to it.

D. He was highly thought of by Wu Junqi.

22. Which of the following words can best describe Wang Hongyi?

A. Diligent and creative. B. Proud and quarrelsome.

C. Outstanding and rude. D. Kind and talented.

23. What does the writer want to do by writing the passage?

A. Encourage students to learn from Wang Hongyi.

B. Tell readers about UAV development in China.

C. Inform readers about Wang Hongyi and his UAV.

D. Call on readers to do what interests them.

24. What message does Wang Hongyi’s story convey to us?

A. Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.

B. Two heads are better than one.

C. All that glitters is not gold.

D. Actions speak louder than words.

B

Blind tasting is a very strange activity. Contrary to what many people imagine, it has nothing to do with blindfolds. It involves tasting a wine without seeing the label ( 商标 ) and it can deliver shocking surprises. I tasted seven champagnes (香槟) blind with a group of professionals recently. There was a shock when they discovered the wine most of them preferred carried a label they regarded as their least favorite. That sort of result is especially common with champagne, the most image-driven rather than quality-driven wine of all. But it happens all the time when wine is tasted blind.

Because I’m interested in how wines really taste instead of how I think they should, I taste wine blind as often as I can, especially when assessing similar young wines. But blind tasting when you know absolutely nothing about the wine in front of you is something completely different. The most difficult Master of Wine exams include three sessions during which you have a dozen glasses in front of you and nothing more helpful than a printed exam paper asking you to identify (鉴定) each wine as closely as possible, and assess its quality.

Now that the MW is behind me, I taste wine completely blind only very rarely, and never in public. So my blind tastings these days are round the dinner table with good friends and once a year when I act as a judge, with Hugh Johnson, in the Oxford vs Cambridge wine-tasting competition. This is the most extraordinary match, always held before the Boat Race but taken just as seriously nowadays. This year’s taste-off took place at the end of last month, as usual in the Oxford and Cambridge Club on Pall Mall in London.

25. Which of the following is true about Blind tasting?

A. Blind tasting is the professional way to identify a wine.

B. Blind tasting usually has the right result.

C. Blind tasting means tasting a wine with one’s eyes covered.

D. Blind tasting is tasting a wine without seeing the label.

26. Why did the professionals get shocked at the result of their blind tasting?

A. They got all the results correctly. B. They didn’t recognize their favorite at all.

C. The writer made no mistakes. D. Champagnes can not be tasted blind.

27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The Boat Race is taken more seriously than the wine race.

B. The Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition is held annually.

C. I didn’t act as a judge last year.

D. Pall Mall is chosen as the competition place for the first time.

As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to．Yet re-readers are everywhere around us．For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually．One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times．　　New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading．Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17．Since then, she has read it again every five years．With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently．Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeated reading, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines．These kinds of books grow with us.　　Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading．Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”．Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express．As researcher CristelRussell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”　　It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages)．These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We’re changed not only by living experience but also by reading experience. More than the movie director, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to experience mixed feelings in literature． 　　

Re-reading a book takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it extremely worthwhile.28．The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to __________．　　A．attract the attention of readers B．introduce the to
