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） A Russian spacecraft traveling to the International Space Station Thursday had to make an emergency landing when a rocket engine failed to fire. It was the latest in a recent series of failures for the Russian space program, which is also used by the U.S. to carry its astronauts to the station.
United States astronaut Nick Hague and Russian astronaut Alexei Ovchinin landed safely about 20 kilometers from Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan. The city is about 450 kilometers from the Russia’s Baikonur space center, which Russia operates through an agreement with the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Both the U.S. space agency NASA and Russia’s Roscosmos reported that the two were quickly recovered from the landing area by rescue crews. A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said, “Thank God the crew is alive” after they had landed safely.
About two minutes after launching, the three-stage Soyuz booster rocket suffered an unspecified failure of its second stage. Russia’s TASS news agency said the capsule carrying the two men separated from the troubled rocket safely. This caused the capsule to drop very sharply into the Earth’s atmosphere. Parachutes（降落伞）helped slow the returning capsule. Search and rescue teams were sent to recover the crew.
Russia’s RIA news agency reported that Russia has immediately put off all manned space launches after the failure. Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said he had ordered a state commission to carry out an investigation into what went wrong. He said Russia will share all relevant information with the U.S.
The TASS news agency said that the ISS crew has enough supplies and that the failed launch will not affect operations.
The U.S. and other nations have depended on Russia to carry astronauts to the ISS since the retirement of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. In coming years, American aerospace companies SpaceX, with its Dragon 2, and Boeing, with its Starliner, are expected to return to space.
1、What can be the best title of the text?
A．The Rescue of Two Astronauts
B．The Launch of Russian Spacecraft
C．Cooperation between Russia and America
D．Emergency Landing in Failed Space Launch
2、What caused the failure of the launch?
A．The problem of the engine. B．The terrible weather.
C．The drop of the capsule. D．The wrong operation.
3、What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．SpaceX is sure to go back to space soon.
B．America carried astronauts to the ISS by itself before 2011.
C．Now only Russia can carry astronauts to space.
D．the ISS crew lives a very good life in the space station.
4、What can we learn about the launch?
A．The capsule landed safely in Dzhezkazgan, Russia.
B．Russia had never failed in the space launch before this failure.
C．The failed launch will have a serious effect on the operations.
D．At first the capsule dropped very rapidly into the Earth’s atmosphere.
22．（8分） I attended a writer’s group to get feedback on my book. But there were so many people there that the discussion was limited. After getting home, my 13-year-old son asked me to read one chapter to him. So I read the chapter about spending my pocket money as a nine-year-old child.
The story took place at a lunch counter, where I dreamed of ordering a banana split. Colorful balloons were hung above the counter and a sign said “Pop a balloon and pay 1 cent to 63 cents for a banana split!” As I was given only 50 cents for cleaning the doghouse, I didn’t dare to ask my parents for any more pocket money without doing more work or risk asking anyone else. So I kept my wish to myself.
Frankie listened carefully, as I read the final sentences of the chapter, “I watched as others selected a balloon to pop and dreamed about the opportunity to take my chance. But it never happened.”
The next morning, Frankie led me to the kitchen. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The table was covered in a pile of balloons. Frankie handed me 50 cents and a fork. “Pop one!” he urged. With tears in my eyes, I broke one. A piece of paper fell out of the balloon.
“What does it say?” Frankie asked. “Fifty cents,” I whispered, too moved to speak loudly. Frankie asked, “Well, do you have 50 cents?” I handed him the money. “OK!” Then Frankie pulled out a banana split from the refrigerator.
I hugged Frankie hard. We took turns popping the other balloons until I finally got the 1-cent balloon. It was a long-time coming, but worth the wait.
It hit me that the first step in making any wish come true is giving it a voice.
1、The author read the chapter to Frankie because .
A．she wanted to get feedback from Frankie
B．Frankie asked the author to read it to him
C．she was used to telling a bedtime story to him
D．Frankie had a strong desire for knowledge
2、What can we infer about the author from the second paragraph?
A．She spent money wisely when she was a kid.
B．She had enough money to do whatever she liked.
C．She earned her pocket money by doing housework.
D．She had no close friends to share her secret wish.
3、Seeing what Frankie did for her, the author felt .
A．comfortable and happy B．puzzled and excited
C．awkward and satisfied D．surprised and grateful
4、The author learned that .
A．it is important to express one’s wishes
B．it is comforting to have a kid around
C．experiences in childhood affect us later in life
D．wishes can come true by just voicing them
23．（8分）It is widely acknowledged that cities with some kind of functioning ecosystems make for better place for humans to live. More plants and animals in cities make for happier, healthier people.
A study conducted on green spaces in Sheffield, England, for instance, revealed that the greater the biodiversity(生物多样性), the greater the psychological well-being(健康) of the city’s citizens. In Paris, researchers found that getting citizens to take part in day-long activities involving urban wildlife opened their eyes to the natural world for a time, at least.
Few cities have been associated with urban ecology for as long as Berlin. “Slow economic recovery after the Second World War meant that reconstruction would take a long time. This provide local ecologist with the ideal conditions to develop an ambitious ecological research program in the bombed-out wastelands of West Berlin,” said Jens Lachmund, a sociologist at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands.
The pioneering work in Berlin bad several consequences, especially the formation of significant natural spaces within the city, such as the Sudgelande Nature. “Berlin has indeed benefited a lot from being a case study in urban ecology,” said Lachmund.
The recent research conducted by Mark Goddard, a biologist at the University of Leeds, and his colleagues confirmed the importance of natural space within an urban setting. Goddard and his team conducted a striking global analysis of bird and plant diversity, quantifying the influence of urbanization on levels of biodiversity around the world. “Functioning urban ecosystems will be extremely important to human health and well-being,” said Goddard.
Cities take up just 3% of the land surface area, yet according to the most recent figure from the United Nations, some 3. 6 billion people (just over 50% of the global population) now live in urban areas. By 2050, this figure is expected to rise to 6.3 billion. Without animals and plants to keep us company, it is a dark future.
1、The findings in Paragraph 2 are mentioned to explain the link between .
A．Citizens and their well-being
B．green spaces and urban wildlife
C．urban ecology and citizens’ well-being
D．functioning ecosystems and the natural word
2、What would be Goddard’s attitude towards Berlins work?
A．Cautious.
B．Admiring.
C．Uncaring.
D．Negative.
3、The author uses figures in the last paragraph to show .
A．the negative effect of over population.
B．the importance of urban ecosystems.
C．the serious problems of city life.
D．the rapid growth of urban areas.
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Should cities be for animals and plants too?
B．Should Berlin have more natural spaces?
C．Should more people live in urban areas?
D．Should the global population be controlled now?

25．（10分）The news of Harper Lee’s second novel broke the internet. Go Set a Watchman would be published in July. Lee became a recluse (隐士)after the publication of her first book, To Kill a Mockingbird, in 1960.
