第二部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
请阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A Shanghai shopping mall recently opened a “husband nursery” where men who are pulled around the shops by their wives or girlfriends can relax and rest from shopping. Do most men hate shopping with women? Forum（论坛）readers share their opinions.
YinsXZ (US)
Hey, that is an absolutely nice idea. I like it. It also makes it easier for women who have lots of bags to be able to drop them off at the nursery for boyfriends to watch over while they return to shop for more! Set it up with wifi too and you have a perfect hang out spot. And most importantly, don’t have to wait for complaints from the woman when I stop to look at computers or tools!
Sunnylin01 (China)
Most women like shopping while most men don’t. Men generally don’t spend hours deciding color, comparison shopping or finding the sale prices. They know what they want, get in, buy them and get out. 10-15 minutes and they’re done. This is quite different from how a woman shops. Going from store to store, trying to find the best ones. The trying will spend hours.
Seneca (a foreigner in China)
Many women view shopping as an entertaining way to get down from high stress levels. My wife is one of those. Stress comes too naturally to her; driving a car, doing her job, dealing with workmates all lead to some rising of her stress level. So shopping ideally happens every day. For me, that amount of shopping is stressful.
Blonde Amber (Ireland)
Some men take hours comparing products, trying things out, finding sales prices. They don’t always know what they want but enjoy just looking. Men can shop the same as women for things they are interested in and spend hours doing it. Equally not all women like shopping and go in, 10-15 minutes and they are done. People are not black and white, and don’t fit into boxes.
51. According to forum readers, which is not the benefit of opening a “husband nursery”?
A. Women can finish their shopping in a shorter time.
B. Women can enjoy shopping more with bags left in men’s care.
C. Men can escape the complaints from women.
D. Men can relax themselves when women are shopping.
52. Which saying below can best describe Sunnylin01 and Seneca’s opinion?
A. A good wife makes a good husband. B. Joy and sorrow are next-door neighbors.
C. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.
53. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that _____.
A. black people and white people are different in size
B. people shouldn’t draw general conclusion blindly
C. people with different skins have different views
D. shopping is not suitable for all kinds of people
B
When young people begin to live independently, home-hunting can be difficult. But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available --- micro-homes.
Fondly called “tiny houses,” these houses have all living necessities in a small package, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Generally under 50 square meters, most tiny houses can hold just one or two people though some claim the space for more. What’s lost in size is not lost in design(设计) as these homes are often quite modern in design.
Besides an attractive appearance, tiny houses can also have practical features. Making the best of urban space, the 72-to-122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the world’s narrowest home, filled in an alley(小巷). The home Ecocapsule uses solar power, wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live practically anywhere.
Although micro-homes are attractive, there are a few disadvantages to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch. Moving into a tiny house, you should throw away unnecessary things. It is also mostly impossible to invite guests. And finally, a micro-home is likely a temporary(暂时的) living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more things.
Though the limitation will scare some, there is usually a benefit. A small size results in low prices and small bills, making tiny houses easier to save up for. And though you won’t have many things around the house, it makes it easy and simple to keep it clean. Micro-homes are also eco-friendly, which can’t be matched by other homes. They probably aren’t for everyone or forever, but when it comes to your next (or first) home, they could be just what you need.
54. What can be learnt about micro-homes from Paragraph 2?
A. These houses are convenient though tiny in size.
B. All of the houses can hold more than two people.
C. People can’t take a package into the tiny houses.
D. Such houses are poorly designed due to the small size.
55. The author develops Paragraph 3 mainly _____.
A. by order in space B. by comparisons C. by examples D. by causes and effects
56. Micro-homes are especially suitable for _____.
A. a young person who has many things B. a family hoping to settle down in a city
C. a couple who want to protect environment D. a person who doesn’t have much money
57. What can be the best title for the text?
A. East or west, home is the best. B. Tiny or large, this is a choice.
C. Home-hunting --- no easy matter! D. Micro-homes --- more than tiny!
C
The Bermuda Triangle is an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, near Florida in the USA, where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared mysteriously.
① The earliest suggestion of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda area appeared in a September 17, 1950 article. Two years later, Fatemagazine published “Sea Mystery at Our Back Door”, covering the loss of several planes and ships, including the loss of Flight 19. Flight 19 alone would be covered again in the April 1962 issue of American Legion magazine. In it, author Allan W. Eckert wrote that the flight leader had been heard saying, “We are entering white water. Nothing seems right. We don’t know where we are.” In the February 1964, the article “The Deadly Bermuda Triangle” argued that Flight 19 and other disappearances were just part of strange events in the area.
② Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural ideas to explain the events. One explanation refers to leftover technology from the mysterious lost continent of Atlantis. Some of the Triangle writers related the events to UFOs. This idea was used by Steven Spielberg for his science fiction film Close Encounters of the Thir
