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） I can proudly say that last year I broke the record for the oldest person in the world to ride a roller-coaster. I’m 105, but I feel younger. Even the doctor agrees I’m in good condition. I’m a bit deaf and my legs feel weak, but they are the only issue.
I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo Land, which spins you round quite fast. I didn’t choose to go on that. I’d have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldn’t ride something like that, because my blood pressure could drop and I might have some danger.
I wasn’t nervous — I don’t get frightened of anything. I was securely fastened, so I knew I wouldn’t fall out. The roller-coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and it couldn’t be a better experience. And I raised a lot of money for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance fund, which was fantastic.
People were saying I’d got a place in the Guinness World Records. Later, someone came to present me with the certificate. I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one that got a year earlier.
My record-breaking ways really began a couple of years ago, with the ice-bucket challenge. It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it, and the video was very popular. After that, I started to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities.
I’m not sure if anyone admires all the fun I’m having. They just say I’m daft and that’s about it. But I’ve had many good days and many exciting times. I’ve had a really good life. I don’t think I’ve wasted any of it.
1、Why didn’t the author choose to go on riding the Twistosaurus?
A．Because he was in a bad physical condition.
B．Because he was told not to do so.
C．Because he considered it too gentle.
D．Because he thought it spun too fast.
2、How did the author most probably react while riding the roller-coaster?
A．He really enjoyed himself. B．He was very worried at first.
C．He couldn’t think much about it. D．He got frightened as it started moving.
3、What do you know about the author from Paragraph 4?
A．He was the oldest person in the world. B．He set a record the year before last year.
C．He disliked showing off his success. D．He was eager to get certificates.
4、What does the underlined word “daft” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．healthy. B．strong.
C．crazy. D．funny.
22．（8分）The Domestication （驯化）of Cats
For centuries, the common view of how domestication had occurred was that prehistoric people, realizing how useful it would be to have animals kept for food, began catching wild animals and breeding （繁殖）them. Over time, by allowing only animals with “tame”（驯养）characteristics to produce their babies, human beings created animals that were less wild and more dependent upon people. Eventually this process led to the domestic farm animals and pets that we know today, having lost their ancient survival skills and natural abilities.
Recent research suggests that this view of domestication is incomplete. Prehistoric human beings did catch and breed useful wild animals, but specialists in animal behavior now think that domestication was not simply something people did to animals—the animals played an active part in the process. Wolves and wild horses, for example, may have taken the first steps in their own domestication by hanging around human settlements, feeding on people’s crops and getting used to human activity. The animals which were not too nervous or fearful to live near people produced their babies that also tolerated humans, making it easier for people to catch and breed them.
In this version, people succeededin domesticating only animals that had already adapted easily to life around humans. Domestication required an animal that was willing to become domestic. The process was more like a dance with partners than a victory of humans over animals.
At first glance, the laming of cats seems to fit nicely into this new story of domestication. A traditional theory says that after prehistoric people in Egypt invented agriculture and started farming, rats and mice gathered to feast on their stored grain. Wildcats, in tum, gathered at the same places to hunt and eat the rats and mice. Over time, cats got used to people and people got used to cats. Some studies of wildcats, however, seem to call this theory into question. Wildcats don’t share hunting and feeding areas, and they don’t live close to people. Experts do not know whether wildcats were partners in their own domestication. They do know that long after people had acquired domestic dogs, sheep and horses, they somehow acquired domestic cats. Gradually they produced animals with increasingly tame qualities.
1、What is suggested in recent research?
A．Animals were less afraid than thought.
B．Animals had an active role in their domestication.
C．Wolves and horses were the first to be domesticated.
D．Domestication meant something people did to animals.
2、The word “dance” is used in Paragraph 3 to show that ._
A．animals and humans were close
B．control over animals was easy
C．animals were independent of humans
D．domestication was like a game
3、What probably attracted cats to human settlements?
A．Other cats. B．Warmth.
C．Humans. D．Food
4、What causes a problem for the theory that cats were domesticated like wolves was?
A．Cats were not friendly to people.
B．Cats were not as fierce as wolves.
C．Cats had the characteristic of independence.
D．Cats showed cleverness when they were hunting.

24．（8分）Apple announced its new iPhones last week, but competitors’ mobile phones can do many of the same things for less money.
The new iPhone 8 and X have wireless charging, edge-to-edge glass screen and double cameras. But all of these features are already available in smart phones from China’s Huawei and Oppo, and Korea’s Samsung. While Apple asks buyers to pay $1,000 for its high-end model, some Asian phone makers can offer similar features for less.
At one time, Chinese manufacturers copied features and designs from others to produce low-cost phones. But they have now added high-end features to their phones and they control nearly half the global mobile phone market.
Media MarktSaturn is Europe’s biggest electronics seller. A spokesperson for the store told Reuters that,“Huawei is seen as a relevant competitor to Apple and Samsung by covering all major price points and placing big investments in marketing and sales. ’’ She also said that the Chinese companies Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo and TCL were among the top-10 best-selling smart phones in its stores.
Chinese manufacturers’ fast growth has been fueled by strong sales in China. But they now export 40 percent of their smart phones. That is almost double the number from just three years ago, according to the Hong Kong investment company CLSA．
Huawei is currently the world’s third largest phone maker behind Samsung and Apple. According to research company Canalys, the Chinese company is getting closer to second-place Apple and might overtake it later this year. Huawei plans to show its top-of-the-line Mate 10 phone on Oct. 16. The phone will have artificial intelligence features such as instant translation and image recognition and will cost less than $1,000.
Other Chinese companies are looking to enter the high-end smart phone market.
1、What is the text mainly about?
A．Smart phone’s manufacturers. B．Apple smart phone’s features.
C．Asian phone makers’ fast growth. D．Competition among Asian phone makers.
2、Which is NOT among the top 3 phone makers in the world?
A．TCL. B．Samsung.
C．Apple. D．Huawei.
3、What do we know from the text?
A．Huewei will have overtaken Apple by later 2017.
B．Chinese makers’ phones with high-end features cost less.
C．The top-10 smart phones are to enter the high-end competition.
D．40 percent of Asian smart phones are exported now.
4、What is the writer’s attitude towards Asian phone makers?
