第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分 50 分）
第一节 （共 15 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 （A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项
涂黑。
A
Is an electric vehicle right for you?
Many people will ask themselves that question for the first time this year. Prices are falling, battery range is
rising and mainstream brands are adding new EVs at a breakneck pace.
Here are three things anybody seriously considering buying an EV should know:
1
. The price to install a 240v charger
Anybody who owns an electric vehicle needs a 240-volt charger at home. With one, you can recharge
overnight, so you start every day with the equivalent of a full tank.
Just a few years ago, home 240v EV chargers cost $2,500-$3,000, including installation, but prices have
declined as competition grows with the number of EVs on the road.
2
. The time it takes to charge
About 80% of miles driven in EVs are powered by electricity charged at home, but you’ll need to charge
elsewhere occasionally. That’s when charging time becomes a big deal, but how long it takes depends on a couple
of factors.
First, voltage from the charger. Getting 250 miles of range in seven hours from a 240v charger is fine when
you’re charging overnight at home, but it’s a deal breaker if you’re going 300 miles for a weekend getaway. In that
case, you’ll want to look for a 400v DC fast charger. They’re not as common as 240v public chargers yet, but
they’re becoming more widespread.
There’s another factor: the on-board charger. It regulates how fast the battery can accept electricity. A vehicle

with a higher-capacity on-board charger accepts electricity faster.
3
. Where to charge
Good route-planning apps will help you find chargers on a road trip.
“Most people have no idea how many public charging stations are within, say, a 10- or 15-mile radius (半径)
because they’re small, people don’t look for them or even don’t know what to look for, and they’re rarely
signposted,” said journalist John Voelcker, who has studied EVs and charging exhaustively.
4
. On the horizon
If an EV doesn’t meet your needs now, watch this space. They’re coming closer, but large numbers of
gasoline vehicles will remain in production for years. Beyond that, companies will keep making spare parts for oil-
burners for decades.
2
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The price of installing a home EV charger has remained stable in the past few years.
B. It’s quite easy to identify the public charging stations with the help of striking signposts.
C. Popular brands are introducing new EVs at an incredibly fast rate.
D. An electric vehicle can’t provide the same amount of energy as a completely filled fuel tank.
2. The underlined phrase “watch this space” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.
2
2
A. give up the plan to purchase an EV
B. make space for an EV
D. keep an eye out for future developments
C. find an alternative to EV
3. This passage is mainly intended to ________.
A. illustrate the factors charging time depends on
B. offer advice on purchasing an electric vehicle
C. look forward to the future of electric vehicles
D. explain the reason for the falling prices of electric vehicles
B
Yesterday, after a day of Zoom (视频会议软件) meetings in my living room, I stepped out for a walk leaving
my teen son bored on the couch. Bleecker Street, usually packed with people, was sprinkled with only the
occasional pedestrians. Bars and restaurants lining the street were dark. Stores with bright neon lights, doors open,
beckoned for the rare passers-by to enter. After just a week of the Covid-19 pandemic, an afternoon walk in
Greenwich Village neighborhood felt surreal.
But then I noticed a row of daffodils (水仙) reaching for the sun in the small triangle-shaped park by Minetta
Lane. On the windows of a locked restaurant, in bright yellow paint, were the words “We love you, West Village.
Take care of each other.” My phone buzzed — a colleague sent a picture of her newborn baby just home from the
hospital. I arrived home to find my son animated on the couch playing a video game virtually with his friends. Life,
love, play, and human connection persist, even though our world has been turned upside down.
In my welcome note to the new students in the Fall, I wrote that this year is about our college’s core values of
inclusion, innovation, and impact and emphasized the power of interconnection. Today, these core values persist,
with interconnection taking on even greater significance. Our collaborative spirit has always given us an
advantage — academically, creatively, culturally, and now, remotely.
A wise person once told me that getting through a crisis is like being given a new hand of cards in the middle
of a game. We are halfway through the semester, with new hands to play, but the game hasn’t changed. We will
find new ways to continue to work, teach, create and learn. Let’s also continue the informal interactions that make
us a community — the study groups, coffee dates, drop-ins just to say hello. In doing so, we will remain connected.
We will come together, from spaces around the world, to meet this new reality. This is who we are. Nothing
—
not space, nor time — can keep us from moving forward, together.

B. The effects of the pandemic could be easily felt.

C. Nothing is the same except that the business goes slow as usual.
D. People have every reason to be worried about the future.
5. What does the writer include in paragraph 2?
2
A. Daily routines that seemed insignificant.

D. Things or people that carry symbolic meanings.
C. Events that people can do during the pandemic.

For most of our history, humans have been short, a study has found. Until around 150 years ago, few people
grew taller than 170 centimeters.
Christiane Scheffler at the University of Potsdam and Michael Hermanussen in Altenhof have spent several
years studying the height of people from a wide range of populations. In their latest paper, they combined an
existing data of more than 6000 prehistoric human skeletons with multiple studies of more recent historical
populations from Europe and the US. They also included their own data on 1666 present-day school children from
Indonesia.
In the prehistoric populations，the maximum height for men was 165 to 170 centimeters, while women
topped out at 160 cm. Today, men in England have an average height of around 175 cm, while for women it is
about 162 cm.
But there is significant variation between modern countries. The Indonesian school children in the study were
shorter than similarly aged children from the US, despite being well-nourished.
Scheffler and Hermanussen argue that height can be a signal of dominance (显赫地位), so in societies where
it is possible to move up through the social classes, evolution favors individuals who reach a greater height.
Subramanian at Harvard University isn’t convinced by the pair’s interpretation. His team previously showed
that the best predictor of a child’s height is the height of their parents. This suggests that the influence of other
factors, such as social mobility, is limited.
After assessing nearly 163,000 children living in 55 low and middle-income countries, Subramanian’s team
found that 42.9 percent had poor nutrition but no “sign of stunting” (阻碍发育) or other physical indicators of this
fact.
This implies there is a lot of hidden malnutrition that doesn’t reveal itself through stunting. A person’s
nutritional condition should be assessed by looking at their diet not their height, says Subramanian.

8. How did Scheffler and Hermanussen conduct the research?
A. Studying the skeletons of prehistoric human.
B. Combining existing data with recent research.
C. Assessing children living in various income areas.
D. Analyzing the results of other scientists’ researches.
9. What’s Subramanian’s attitude towards the explanation of Scheffler and Hermanussen?
2
3
A. Worried.
B. Cautious.
C. Doubtful.
D. Supportive.
0. What can we infer from Subramanian’s study?
A. Poor nutrition delays physical development.
B. A balanced diet contributes to growing taller.
C. High social classes can reach a greater height.
D. A human’s height has little to do with nutrition.
1. What is the text mainly about?
3

A. The significance that lies in nutrition.
B. The factors that influence human’s height.
C. The importance that humans attach to height.
D. The reasons why prehistoric humans were short.
D
The ban on cigarette advertising in the early 1970s in the United States serves as a fascinating case study
in the field of public health campaigns and their unintended consequences. Despite the government’s intention to
discourage smoking and reduce related health risks, the ban led to an unexpected outcome: an increase in cigarette
sales for the major tobacco companies.
The reason for this unexpected outcome can be traced to the principles of game theory, particularly the
prisoner’s dilemma paradox (悖论). Just as in the prisoner’s dilemma, where cooperation leads to the best outcome
for both parties, the tobacco companies would benefit collectively if none of them advertised. This action would
create fairness in competition, ensuring that no individual company gains an edge by advertising.
However, the dilemma arises when considering the potential actions of competitors. If one tobacco company
decides to ignore the ban and advertise its products, it stands to gain a significant market share and increased sales
compared to its non-advertising competitors. This creates a situation where each company faces the urge to
advertise, fearing that their competitors may do the same and leave them at a disadvantage.
In the end, most tobacco companies decided to play it safe and invested in advertising, despite the ban, to
avoid being left behind in the competitive landscape. This strategic decision reflects the uncertainty and strategic
considerations that shape business decisions, even in the face of regulations aimed at public health goals.
This application of game theory provides valuable insight into the complexities of influencing human
behavior through policy interventions. While well-intended efforts such as advertising bans may seem
straightforward in theory, the realities of strategic decision-making and competitive dynamics often lead to
unforeseen outcomes. As such, understanding the complexities of game theory can provide valuable insight for
policymakers seeking to design more effective interventions and address complex societal challenges.

4. Why do most tobacco companies finally choose to advertise?

C. To shape better business images.
5. What can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. A Good Intention Fails
