第二部分 阅读理解（满分40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。
21．（6分）The Today I learned–The New York Times’ fun column always highlights some surprising and interesting facts. In that spirit,The New York Times lists some of the most eye-catching things out of the column and edits them into What I Learned This Year.Following are some facts out of What I Learned in 2016.
The world’s most-used natural resource (apart from water,listed at the second place and air,as the champion) is sand,which consists of extremely small pieces of stone-and it’s disappearing.
A team’s success (at work) is often driven by 3 factors (with the importance from high to low) —its culture,the interpersonal relationship and the IQ or talent of its individuals.
Giraffes have been keeping a secret from most of us for a long time: They’ really four different species,not one. The Greenland Shark lives at least 272 years and it could live as long as 512 years,which makes it the oldest living thing with a backbone（脊椎）on Earth.
More that 70 percent of Americans think Granola Bars (格拉诺拉燕麦棒)are healthy.Interesting,less than 30 percent of nutritionists（营养学家）agree.
Nearly 80 percent of teenagers say they don’t like to eat cereal porridge（燕麦粥）for breakfast,because they have to clean up the bowls after eating it.
It’s myth that closing unused apps on your smartphone will prolong battery life.And turning off Wi-Fi doesn’t help,either.
Annual percentage of highway death had been going down for the last four decades till it last year recorded the largest increase in 50 years.Blame Snapchat and other smarphone apps.
Death from gun-shooting is as enough as from car accidents in the United Stated and as scarce as from lightning strikes in Japan,which owns the reputation of one of the safest countries.

A．water B．air C．sand D．stone

4、The underlined word “scarce” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.

22．（8分） Charity Cycling UK has recently launched a campaign to raise awareness of dooring after discovering that many people don’t know what it is and those that do seem to think it’s a joke. Dooring happens when a driver or passenger opens the door into another road user - typically a cyclist - without looking for other road users.
Cycling UK’s chief executive Paul Tuohy told Gloucestershire Live, “Some people seem to see car dooring as a bit of a joke, but it’s not and can have serious consequences. Cycling UK wants to see great awareness made about the dangers of opening your car door, and people to be encouraged to look before they open.”
The charity says 2,009 of the 3,000 injuries were sustained(遭受) by cyclists, resulting in five deaths but says this might not be the full extent of the dangers.
Cycling UK says not all car dooring incidents will be attended by police, so the charity has written to transport minister Jesse Norman calling for a public awareness campaign urging all drivers to look before opening vehicle doors. One of the ways that the charity suggests could prevent injuries through dooring is the “Dutch Reach”, where people leaving a vehicle reach over and use the non-door side hand to open the door.
Cycling UK also suggests serious laws and advice on safer road positioning for people who cycle.
Mr Tuohy said, “In the Netherlands they are known for practising a method, known sometimes as the ‘Dutch Reach’, which we think could be successfully encouraged in the UK.”
“Cycling UK has written to the Department for Transport asking them to look into this, and stress the dangers of ‘car dooring’ through a public awareness THINK style campaign.”
If you’re really concerned about opening a door into the path of a cyclist coming behind you, consider using what’s known as the “Dutch Reach” to open the door. That will naturally turn you in your seat and give you a much better view of what’s coming up alongside the car.
1、Why does the author mention the figures in Paragraph 3?
A．To arouse wide public concern. B．To describe the terrible accident.
C．To show the dangers of car dooring. D．To stress the importance of traffic safety.
2、While doing the Dutch Reach, you should ______.
A．stand up from your seat B．open the car door politely
C．use inside hand to open the car door D．use outside hand to open the car door
3、What can be learned from the text?
A．Many people are ignorant of car dooring.
B．The Dutch Reach is well received in England.
C．Dooring incidents are all attended by the police.
D．Drivers are to blame for door incidents.
4、What’s the author’s attitude towards car dooring?
A．Enthusiastic B．Curious
C．Negative D．Concerned
23．（8分）Some international languages are widely used for many purposes. Some minority lanuages will die out and some nations tend to keep minority languages. I reckon that most common used international languages ease our life quality and communication with different nationalities. On the other hand, we need to help improve minority languages.
There are many languages in the entire world but two or three minority languages die out each year. Some countries try to save dying languages. For instance, Australian Government created a project to save the language and culture of Maori who are Australian aborigines. And there are other projects to keep minority languages such as American Indian language.
However, the worldwide job market usually requires candidates who can speak English or other international languages. People who cannot speak lingua franca (共通语) could hardly be promoted at work. For example, some companies need an employee who can deal with foreign companies. So most people tend to learn at least one international language that helps them to find a better job.
Therefore, world needs one common lingua franca that should be spoken in any country. Consequently, one common language should be a required subject in every school. So anyone speaking one common language can travel without worries to any point of the world and trade their products. People will not be forced to learn many languages.
In conclusion, we should help minority nations to keep their languages for the cultural diversity. To ease the worldwide communication among nations, we should create a common language and provide courses of it. As a result, no one will face a language issue.
1、What does the underlined word “reckon” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Deny. B．Fear.
C．Ignore. D．Think.
2、What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A．Not all minority languages are useful.
B．Some minority languages have died out.
C．Maori is attractive to Australian tourists.
D．American Indian language is well preserved.
3、Why do most people study more international languages?
A．It benefits their journey.
B．They can earn more money.
C．It does good to find a good job.
D．They are eager to get promoted.
4、How can we stay away from language problems?
A．By learning a common language.
B．By wiping out minority languages.
C．By studying more languages at college.
D．By communicating more with foreigners.
24．（8分）My arms shook. The bow was almost as tall as I was, and it was equipped with an arrow, ready to be shot. Never had a more ill-suited person handled a weapon. But my editor had sent me on a mission: to find my inner Katniss Ever deen at one of Beijing's indoor archery clubs.
The brilliant archer Everdeen is the lead character in The Hunger Games movies, the final of which was just released in cinemas. Her arrows can hit almost anything: sword-swinging enemies, fierce animals, even aircraft some- how. Me? I can't throw a paper ball into a trashcan with any precision. And I was warned that archery would require a great deal of upper body strength, though I hadn’t seen the inside of a gym in years.
News outlets like the New York Times and NPR have reported an increase of interest in archery, thanks to movies like The Hunger Games, Brave and The Avengers. Archery clubs have showed up in many major cities. In Jian Club, an archery-themed bar, we paid 120 yuan for an hour’s worth of target practice and prepared our bows and arrows.
We were told to stand sideways, with one shoulder facing the bull’s eye. Your weaker arm would hold the bow, while the other would pull the bowstring back until the arrow was right next to your face. Then it was meters away.
Well, sort of. Instead of sending the arrows whistling through the air, my first few simply dropped onto the ground.
The failure was a good reminder that archery is a demanding, Olympic-level sport. It worked muscles in my back and arms that I just didn’t have yet. An hour came and went, and I found myself leaving with a couple pierced (刺穿的)bull’s eyes and sore shoulders. Was I ready to shoot down aircraft with a swift arrow? Not quite. But I was definitely ready for a return trip.
1、Why did the author visit an archery club?
A．Because of working as a photographer.
B．Because of being a fan of The Hunger Games.
C．Because of being given a task by the editor.
D．Because of wanting to try a new exercise form.
2、What best describes the author's trip to the archery club?
A．Boring. B．Fascinating.
C．Fruitless. D．Risky.
3、What can we learn about archery?
A．It is not an Olympic event. B．It is a sport practiced single-handed.
C．It takes little effort to be good at it. D．It has gained more popularity recently.
4、What’s the purpose of the text?
A．To record an unforgettable experience. B．To discuss several hot films.
C．To instruct readers to practice archery. D．To introduce a gym in Beijing.
25．（10分）What’s that one thing you really should do, but keep putting off? We all have time-consuming or difficult chores we’re afraid of, and drag out until the last minute —if we complete them at all.
But what if we could drive ourselves into those boring tasks by pairing them with something we really enjoy? Research suggests that combining the things we want to do with the things we should do could be a nice trick to reaching our goals. The method is known as “temptation bundling (捆绑)” and it allows you to combine two different, but complementary (补充的) activities at the same time.
“I only let myself get a footbath when I’m doing some work,” says Katherine Milkman, a professor of behavioral economics at the University of Pennsylvania. Another example? Go to your favorite restaurant with a difficult colleague or someone you’re supposed to spend time with, such as a relative.
In short, it’s pairing a thing you like with something you don’t like that offers you motivation to do something you might be putting off.
Exercise is one activity routinely being treated as a chore —so Milkman used it in an experiment to know how temptation bundling works in reality.
In her experiment, Milkman encouraged students to exercise while listening to addictive, page-turning audiobooks. One group, which could only access the audiobooks while at the gym, were 51% more likely to exercise than the control group, which were able to listen when they liked. Another group, whose access to the audiobooks was not restricted but who were merely encouraged to bundle the activities, were 29% mo
