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）They say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away ． Well, there is one lady who believes that it’s actually chocolate．At 102 years of age, she’s living proof．
According to Boonville, Indiana’s Eunice Modlin, a daily dose of chocolate has been the key to a long and healthy life．Specifically, two pieces of dark chocolate．It’s not just Eunice who believes this．
Many scientists have attributed the sweet to health benefits such as lower chances of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes．
However, researchers believe that Eunice might be overlooking the fact that she has never smoked or drunk alcohol in her long life, and that chocolate might not be the significant cause of her longevity．
“There are so many other factors to her long life and chocolate isn’t the only one,” nutritionist Vanessa Rissetto said．“Genes, her diet in general…are probably the main reasons.”
At any rate, Eunice is still alive and kicking ． With four children, seven grandkids, 14 great-grandkids and 11 great-great grandkids, this lady has a big family．
It must be noted that Eunice was also very athletic, being an archer in her 20s ．Amazingly, she has lived through tough times such as the Great Depression and World War II ．Also, the healthy blood runs through the veins of other family members．Eunice’s brother is also still alive, at 101 years of age．
No matter what you might think, Eunice’s consumption of chocolate can’t be ignored．In 2015, a BMJ study showed that a daily treat of one small bar would give the consumer 23% less chance of having a stroke (中风)．
What is in the sweet that makes it so beneficial? Apparently, cocoa beans have flavonoids, plant nutrients that have useful antioxidants (抗氧化剂)．
“Not all chocolate is created equal,” Rissetto warns ．“Dark chocolate has more flavonoids than milk chocolate, and white chocolate—which does not actually contain chocolate—is not a good source of flavonoids.”
1、According to the article, which of the following lead to Eunice Modlin’s long and healthy life?
a．two pieces of dark chocolate
b．genes
c．lifelong exercise
d．good diet
e．love of her large family
A．a, b, d B．b, c, d
C．a, b, e D．a, c, d
2、Rissetto thinks that ．
A．chocolate is the most important thing that affects Eunice’s health
B．no smoking or drinking contributes the most to Eunice’s longevity
C．chocolate really has nothing to do with her long and healthy life
D．Eunice’s good diet doesn’t only mean taking chocolate every day
3、What the author presented in the passage sounds ．
A．persuasive B．objective
C．subjective D．critical
4、From the whole passage we can conclude that______________．
A．there’s universal proof for what contributes to a long life
B．it is generally accepted that chocolate is the key to longevity
C．many factors may contribute to people’s good health
D．a bit of any chocolate a day keeps the doctor away
22．（8分）Journey to Mecca: In the Footsteps of Ibn Battuta
Ibn Battuta is considered one of the world’s greatest travellers. During the 14th century, he travelled about 75, 000 miles in search of knowledge and for the love of travel. To share the learning and research so highly valued by Islamic (伊斯兰教的) culture, the ruler of Morocco, Abu Inan Faris, wanted Ibn Battuta’s worldwide travels recorded and published when he returned home to Morocco after almost 30 years. Ibn Juzayy, a Moroccan Court Secretary, was appointed to write down Ibn Battuta’s experiences. His travel journal, The Rihla, documents this extraordinary achievement. It gives us a first-hand account of life in the 14th-century Muslim world. The original book, handwritten in Arabic, can be viewed today at the National Library in Paris.
The early 14th century was a favorable age for a Muslim traveller. It was nearing the end of the Golden Age of Islam, one of the great explosions of scientific and cultural achievements in world history. Caravans and sea lanes created transportation and communication networks that spread across continents, including Europe, Africa and Asia. Towns and cities were regularly visited by merchants, traders, doctors, artists, craftsmen, scholars and pilgrims (朝圣者) carrying goods and ideas. All of these promoted the exchange of goods and ideas on a scale not seen previously in world history. As an educated man with professional legal skills, Ibn Battuta enjoyed kindness, companionship and offers of employment throughout the Islamic world.
Journey to Mecca describes the 5, 000-mile journey Ibn Battuta made in 1325 and 1326 from his hometown Tangier, Morocco, to reach Mecca, in what is now the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to make the pilgrimage. During this dangerous and awesome 18-month pilgrimage, he met many hindrances as he was attacked by robbers, troubled by thirst, and forced to go back to his route due to war along the Red Sea. Joining the legendary Damascus Caravan with thousands of pilgrims leaving for Mecca, he completed the final section of what would be his first of six journeys to Mecca.
The goal of the film, Journey to Mecca, was to tell the remarkable story of Ibn Battuta and to promote a better understanding of Islam in the West, said the producers.
1、We can conclude that Abu Inan Faris probably thought Ibn Battuta’s travel experiences ________.
A．precious B．questionable
C．mysterious D．ridiculous
2、What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the text?
A．He wrote the travel journal, The Rihla, by himself.
B．He travelled all the way with the legendary Damascus Caravan during his first journey.
C．He was a very successful businessman.
D．He had to overcome varieties of difficulties while traveling.
3、The underlined word “hindrances” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “________”.
A．tricks B．friends
C．barriers D．opportunities
4、In which section of a newspaper can we possibly find this passage?
A．History B．Travel
C．Economy D．Entertainment
23．（8分）A loving father lost much weight after being shamed into dieting when he became so fat that he couldn't play with his young daughter. Chris Willis, 47, tipped the scales at 172 kg following a lifetime of fatty foods.
The dad cut out all the fatty foods he had enjoyed, and began exercising. He now weighs 105 kg after losing 10 kg every month since July. Chris had to take long pauses just to climb the stairs or walk more than a few yards, saying, "The hardest thing was seeing my little girl in the garden and not being able to join in because I was so unhealthy. But now I am making up for the lost time-we do so much together and it is just great."
Before switching to a healthy lifestyle, Chris would eat five slices of bread for breakfast as a mid morning meal before a full English breakfast. He would then eat a sandwich, a large pack of crisps and a pasty for lunch before chewing a whole packet of biscuits in the afternoon. For dinner Chris would demolish a curry, and ice cream, and also four pints of beer before feeding on fatty snacks all evening.
Chris said, "At 13, I was 118 kg and I remember a teacher pointing this out to the whole school. From then on I was picked on and bullied(欺负). My weight went up and up. But I now have a new-found freedom. My family and friends have been so supportive and my wife and daughter are so pleased for me. In fact it's them that I did it for more than anyone else. The whole journey has been amazing and I am still shocked myself that I have managed to lose so much weight." Chris is now aiming for a new target weight of 96kg.

24．（8分） Many Americans think of driverless cars as a futuristic technology that will revolutionize travel in cities and along state highways. But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional ways of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.
A retirement community in San Jose, Calif, which has been transformed by a small fleet (车队) of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform people’s lives. Built by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified (被改进的) Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.
When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents—whose average age is 76—will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.
In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disability. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling (满意的), independent lives.
Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.
1、What’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?
A．uncertain B．optimistic
C．indifferent D．doubtful
2、What is the modified Ford Fusion?
A．A kind of autonomous vehicle. B．The name of a retirement community.
C．The collection of social activities. D．A two-mile road for self-driving cars.
3、Examples are given in the third and fourth paragraphs to prove ________.
A．how driverless technology benefits the aged and disabled
B．why driverless cars are restricted in many states in America
C．what are preventing the development of the technology
D．when driverless cars can enter people’s life eventually
4、What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph?
A．The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.
B．Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.
C．The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.
D．The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.
