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）While there are a few ways to make use of your old smartphone, one of the better ways is to convert into a dash cam（行车记录仪）that you can use on your bicycle. With the camera, you can record your rides, which is especially helpful if you are involved in a crash with another vehicle.
To use your smartphone as a dash cam on your bike, you will need to make sure it is properly secured to your bike. To do this correctly, you must take two strips of heavy-duty Velcro (a kind of cloth used as fastening) along with two pipe Clamps（管夹）and a flat corner brace（角撑）to properly attach it. You will start by attaching the comer brace to your smartphone.
Next, attach a Velcro strip to your phoned back. You will put the second strip on the end of the brace comer and cut any extra Velcro off and away from the brace. By using heavy-duty Velcro, you shouldn’t have to worry about the camera brace must be attached to the bicycle directly.
Take two pipe clamps so you can attach the part of the corner brace so the phone can be held up and used. The pipe clamps must be positioned near the center of the handlebar, which will enable you to get a better picture when videotaping.
To run a dash camp app on your old phone, you will just need to download a dash cam app onto the old phone. You will then just start the app at any time you head out on the road. There is always the chance of flaws, but you will be giving yourself a way to protect yourself in a friendly, eco-fiendly manner that is much less expensive than purchasing a dash cam.
1、What is the purpose of building a dash cam on your bike?
A．To make full use of an old smartphone.
B．To record the scenery while travelling
C．To reduce an unexpected crash on the road.
D．To avoid unnecessary arguments in an accident.
2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The bike. B．The pipe clamp.
C．The smartphone. D．The flat corner brace.
3、What can we learn about a Velcro strip?
A．It will fix the camera firmly.
B．It is better to keep it as long as possible.
C．It is important for the flat comer brace.
D．It is best put in the center of the smartphone.
4、What can be inferred about the DIY dash cam from the last paragraph?
A．It is a perfect alternative to a purchased one.
B．It is beneficial to environment in some way.
C．It is a much more demanding job for the user.
D．It makes its owner friendly to other people.
22．（8分）If watching kids isn’t quite the part-time job you’d want to keep yourself busy with during the summer holidays, then here are some of the coolest jobs for teens.
Camp Counselor (辅导员)
Though it’s kind of a babysitting job, it’s much more fun as it exposes you to many skills such as team working and many other activities. Another advantage of this kind of job is that you are more likely to make new friends as you will be working with a number of people.
Life Guard
This will not be a job for anyone as it is quite demanding when you’re really needed. Under calm conditions, the job involves sitting by the poolside as you watch over swimmers and helping them in case of emergencies. For life guard tasks, special training and certifications are required.
Dog Walker
For animal lovers, you have not been left out. This job involves taking care of dogs and walking them. Fun as it is, dog walking can be a boring exercise especially if you have more than one dog to walk. As for this job, you need to advertise yourself in your neighborhood by using flyers or approaching dog owners to ask if they need your services.
Retail & Food Service
If you are 14 and above then you may consider getting a “real” job as a store or restaurant attendant this summer. Creating a resume (简历) for yourself with all the required information such as contact information and any skill or working experience that you’d like your employer to know about is important.

23．（8分）Neil Jordan,a conservation biologist,has come up with a novel method for protecting cattle from African lions: paint eyes on their behinds.The lions will think their intended prey（猎物）has seen them and will give up,since they've lost the element of surprise.
This psychological trickery has been called "iCow",which is actually not as strange as it sounds.The eye-like patterns on butterfly wings are known to prevent preying birds and woodcutters in Indian forests wear masks on the backs of their heads when working to discourage hungry tigers.
The inspiration for the iCow strategy came while Jordan was based in a village in Botswana,when two lionesses were killed by local farmers to revenge their cattle's death.The African lion is a vulnerable species,with numbers dropping from over 100,000 in the 1990s to about 30,000 today.Much of that decline is due to these kinds of revengeful killings because farmers have no effective strategies for protecting their herds.
"Lions are hunters that like to attack by surprise.They move slowly,quietly,and carefully to their prey,get close,and jump on them unseen,"he said.When Jordan was watching a lion follow an antelope one day,he noticed the lion gave up the hunt once the antelope spotted it.
So he joined one of the local farmers on a 10-week trial study,painting eyes on one-third of a herd of 62 cattle. When the cattle returned each night,they took a head count to see how many had survived.Only three cows were killed by lions during this period-all without the painted eyes on their behinds.And all the painted cows survived. However,Jordan warned that so far this is just a promising idea.He is now back in Botswana for a more ambitious study,equipped with GPS devices to better monitor the movement of predators（捕食者）and prey.
1、The iCow strategy is designed to .
A．kill the lions B．scare off Predators
C．identify cattle D．have fun
2、When hunting,lions like to .
A．give up halfway B．hesitate to take action
C．chase their prey steadily D．launch surprising attacks
3、What does the underlined word "vulnerable" mean in the third paragraph?
A．badly behaved B．likely to attack
C．easily cheated D．easily damaged
4、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Neil Jordan got the inspiration from the patterns on butterfly wings.
B．In the 10-week trial study,more cattle were killed.
C．The iCow strategy is likely to bring great benefit.
D．The farmers will continue to take their revenge on the lions.
24．（8分） If we want to find out what kind of technology people used in the past, we normally have to rely on archaeologists to find ruined buildings and parts of tools or instruments or machines. Archaeologists then try to reconstruct, sometimes with the help of computer technology, what these ancient buildings and objects must have looked like, and how they might have been made. Sometimes historians are lucky and find an ancient document with a written description of these ancient buildings and objects.
We can understand, then, why Chinese historians were so excited when they found cave paintings which show ancient science. They found these paintings in the world-renowned Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang City, in Northwest China's Gansu Province. There are 500 man-made caves and they have survived for at least 1,600 years. Almost all of these caves have paintings on their ceilings or walls and they date from the 4th to 14th centuries. Wang Jinyu is an expert on these cave paintings (also called frescoes) and he says: “We discovered frescoes containing scientific and technological content in almost all of the caves which have frescoes.” What is remarkable about these cave paintings according to the Xinhua News Agency is that they provide evidence of "scientific and technological inventions by ancient Chinese in maths, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, agronomy, architecture, textiles, traffic and transportation, arms and military equipment and medical sciences".
Among the discoveries experts have made are cave paintings showing ancient techniques of pottery making and wine production and paintings showing ancient weaving machines and then toothbrushes! The paintings also give some evidence of the lifestyle at the time with, for example, pictures of people boiling milk over 1,000 years ago. Experts believe that there is more evidence to be found, but even now the caves are a wonderful natural museum. If the walls and ceilings of the caves were all put together they would form a tapestry 20 kilometers long and 2 meters high!
It won't be possible to travel back in time-that only happens in films-but visiting these caves would be the nearest experience you could get to travelling back in time.
1、Why were Chinese historians excited when they found cave paintings showing ancient science?
A．Because they had rarely seen cave paintings.
B．Because they could make the place a tourist attraction.
C．Because they could learn about ancient science through them.
D．Because they would be given lots of money for the discovery.
2、The Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang City______.
A．have 500 man-made caves
B．have been there for at most 1,600 years
C．help us to know little about ancient science
D．have paintings on their ceilings in every cave
3、Experts had discovered cave paintings showing the ancient techniques of ______.
A．pottery making and wine production
B．weaving machines and toothbrushes
C．boiling milk over 1,000 years ago
D．architecture and weaving
4、The article is more likely to be selected from the magazine ______.
A．Modern Countries B．Business World
C．Network World D．Popular Science
25．（10分） In no particular order, here are some songs on the Music app of my phone:
On a Sunday Afternoon by Lighter Shade of Brown—A student of mine introduced this rap song lo me all the way back in the early 1990s, when 1 was teaching Spanish at a local university. The story in the song takes place not too far from where I live in Los Angeles. It’s a good “driving” song, nothing complicated or “deep”.
Say Something by A Great Big World—A more recent song about a couple losing contact with each other. The piano part is very little playing but beautiful.
American Pie by Don McLean—Another song from my youth in the 80s, very popular with almost every American of my generation. It retells some of the key events of the middle 20th century, a song of happy memories of the past and wanting to return to those better times.
The Weight by The Band—Another old song, originally made public in 1968, but one I didn’t hear until I was in high school more than 10 years later. I don’t understand the words to the song completely, but the feeling of the song is very comforting to me.
Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers—This Los Angeles group wrote a song that 1 used to listen to when I first moved to LA more than 25 years ago. I didn’t know anyone here when I first arrived. When I got bored, I used to drive up and down the major streets that cross the city from east to west, listening to this song about the “city of angel” being as “lonely as I am. (Don t worry! I have plenty of friends now.)
1、What does the underlined word “deep” probably mean?
A．with skill B．with comfort
C．with a normal meaning D．with a significant meaning
2、When did the author probably hear the Weight by The Band?
A．In 1968. B．In 1970.
C．in the 1980s. D
