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）LUKLA, Nepal(Xinhua) – Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, once negatively recognized as the “world’s highest junkyard”, is set to become cleaner as 30,000 porters（搬运工）have been mobilized（动员）for waste collection and disposal from the mountain’s southern side. The cleanup drive was launched recently near Lukla airport, one of the world’s most dangerous airports yet a vital gateway to the world’s highest peak.
“Our major task is to keep Everest, which is the pride of the world, clean. This campaign aims to transport 100 tons of nonburnable garbage from the Everest region to Kathmandu in 2018,”Ang Dorje Sherpa, chairman of the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee said.
The SPCC, an environmental conversation organization, has made it mandatory（强制性）since 2013 that every climber should carry down 8 kilograms of trash, but for trekkers（旅行者）there is no such regulation. Due to this, more than 100 tons of waste gets collected in the region annually.
According to Nepalese government statistics, nearly 50,000 domestic and foreign trekkers visit the Qomolangma region annually, while more than 400 mountaineers attempt to scale the peak. The collected waste mostly includes empty beer bottles and cans, oxygen bottles, torn tents and sleeping bags, food bins, and discarded mountaineering and trekking equipment. The trash was collected by local groups in more than a dozen villages while the waste was transported down the mountain in sacks（麻布袋）by porters and yak-hybrid animals as zopkyos The cleanup covered settlements from up to 5,000 meters near the base camp, to Lukla airport located at an altitude of 2,805 meters.
On the first day of the campaign, several tons of waste was sent off to Kathmando from Lulka on planes belonging to Tara Airlines, one of the leading private airlines in Nepal. The airlines have set an ambitious target of flying out 100 tons of waste from the region in 2018, as a part of its commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals against climate change. The company’s CEO Umesh Chandra Rai said: “We hope that this campaign will help the local people to maintain a pristine（原始的）, natural and unspoiled environment so that more trekkers will come from everywhere, making the trekking industry here more sustainable.”
1、What’s the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The basic situation of Mount Everest.
B．The introduction of the clean-up campaign.
C．The unique way to prevent environment pollution.
D．The description of the most dangerous airport in the word.
2、What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The rule for visitors made by the local travel agencies.
B．The clean-up campaign launched by Ang Dorje Sherpa.
C．The demand for the climbers made by the SPCC since 2013.
D．The law for the local people made by the Nepalese government.
3、How does the author indicate that the clean-up campaign is very tough?
A．By listing figures. B．By making comparisons.
C．By giving some examples. D．By analyzing some causes.

4、What’s Umesh Chandra Rai’s attitude towards the clean-up campaign?
A．Doubtful. B．Curious.
C．Enthusiastic. D．Unfavorable.
22．（8分）A recent study led by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 32 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility (能见度) of yellow makes it less difficult for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.
The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 2. 1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.
They also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 12,300 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 32.2 fewer accidents will occur per month or 913 fewer accidents per year.
Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual saving of $ 2 million.
“We are eager to continue to validate (证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For example, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against those of other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we’re also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different colors.” Explained Prof Ho.
1、Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?
A．Because yellow can be seen more easily.
B．Because yellow signals a warning of danger.
C．Because drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.
D．Because people act more quickly in yellow surroundings.
2、What’s Prof Ho’s study based on?
A．Physical risks taxi passengers experience.
B．The economic effect of changing taxi color.
C．Data from Singapore’s largest taxi company.
D．Personal reports from taxi drivers worldwide.
3、What do Prof Ho’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A．School buses should be painted yellow.
B．Their findings are worth popularizing.
C．Their study will be furthered.
D．Yellow should be widely used in public transport.
4、What can be the best title for the text?
A．Caution: yellow taxis ahead B．Safer to ride in yellow taxis
C．Why are yellow taxis preferred? D．How can colors help prevent accidents?
23．（8分） Darwin noted that some human emotional expressions might have started as part of a physiological function: for example, exposing the teeth to bite food. The function, however, took on meaning and became a form of communication which signals anger.
The same may be true for the animals. Baby monkeys cry for attention. They also cry to signal to an adult that they want to be carried.
“Chimpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned (断奶) by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another individual,” says Anne Pusey, a professor at the University of Minnesota. “They whimper (呜咽) and cry and scream. When we hear these calls, the emotion involved seems obvious. However, they do not weep in the sense of producing tears. I have seen an adolescent male whimpering when he lost sight of his older brother with whom he had been traveling.”
Babies of many mammalian species, including rats, cry. Moreover, when a baby rat cries, often his mother brings the fallen pup back into the nest. This is probably a straightforward communication, as it is with humans. However, psychologists at the University of Iowa aren’t convinced.
The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases and then increases in blood flow. The blood flow also goes down when baby rats get cold. Thus, they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze. Of course the rat baby could be crying because he’s cold and wants his mother to know.
“All young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,” says Jaak Panksepp, a psychologist at Bowling Green State University. “If you’re willing to call this crying, then certainly other animals show this emotional response.” he says, “Some of us take seriously that animals do have emotions.”
1、According to the first paragraph, what kind of emotion does “exposing the teeth” express?
A．Disappointment. B．Excitement.
C．Anger. D．Happiness.
2、Which is one probable reason why young chimpanzees might be crying?
A．They meet their brother.
B．They have nothing to eat.
C．They are being breast-fed.
D．They are parted from their mother.
3、Under what circumstance will baby rats cry just like humans’ sneeze?
A．Their blood flow is decreased.
B．They feel cold and long for affection.
C．Their blood flow is increased.
D．Their mother brings them back home.
4、Where is the passage most likely taken from?
A．An animal journal. B．A physiology book.
C．A health magazine. D．A cultural newspaper.

25．（10分）Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏表演). Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents. The children talked excitedly about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night. One could sense they had never been to the circus before.
The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.
The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so
