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）World records can be set even if you are over 2 years old.
Robert Marchand was born in 1911 in northern France. He enjoys riding a bicycle, and started cycling seriously when he was in his 60s. Marchand is now 105 years old.
On Wednesday, a crowd gathered at the Velodrome National, about 30 kilometers outside of Paris. They were there to see how far he could travel in one hour.
The record for one hour is held by Britain’s Bradley Wiggins, a former Tour de France winner. Wiggins covered 54.5 kilometers in 2015. Evelyn Stevens of the United States holds the women’s record. She went almost 48 kilometers in an hour last year.
In 2012, Marchand set a record for riders over 2 years old when he traveled almost 27 kilometers in an hour. So the question many people asked this week was: “Could he break his own record?” Marchand set off on his record attempt as sports lovers cheered and photographers watched. He moved slowly but steadily around the cycling track.
Marchand is relatively small. He is only 1.52 meters tall and weighs 52 kilograms. When the hour ended, he completed 92 times around the track. That is just over 22.5 kilometers.
After the event, Marchand said he could have done better. He did not see his trainers telling him he only had 10 minutes remaining. “I would have gone faster. I would have posted a better time,” he said.
But the news was still good, as he did set a new record for riders 105-years-old or older. “I’m now waiting for a rival (对手),” he said.
1、The main purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers .
A．an unbelievable fact
B．bring in the topic of the text
C．any per son can set a world record
D．setting a world record is not so difficult as people think
2、Which word can best describe the feeling of Marchand just after the event?

C．Regretful D．Depressed
3、Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Bradley Wiggins set the cycling record in 2015
B．Robert Marchand is the record holder of cycling over 2 years old
C．The women’s record of cycling record was set by Evelyn Stevens in 2016
D．Though Marchand didn’t perform as well as before, he still set a record of cycling this year.
4、Which of the following well-known sayings best expresses the message of the text?
A．Experience is the best teacher.
B．You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
C．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
D．Old people may still cherish high aspirations.
22．（8分）When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.”
1、For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to .
A．head straight for the center of the storm
B．get into the car for safety
C．wait patiently for the storm to develop
D．collect information about a coming storm
2、Beginners of storm chasing are advised .
A．not to drive in a heavy rain
B．to do it in an organized way
C．not to get too close to a storm
D．to spend more time on it in summer
3、By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that .
A．storm chasing costs a lot of money
B．storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C．efforts in storm chasing are well paid
D．a storm presents the greatest show on Earth
4、What can we learn from the text?
A．Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment
B．Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
C．Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
D．Storm chasing is only fit for young people.

24．（8分）Exposing living tissue to subfreezing temperatures for long can cause permanent damage. Microscopic ice crystals (结晶体) cut cells and seize moisture (潮气), making donor organs unsuitable for transplantation. Thus, organs can be made cold for only a few hours ahead of a procedure. But a set of lasting new antifreeze compounds 化合物)—similar to those found in particularly hardy (耐寒的) animals—could lengthen organs’ shelf life.
Scientists at the University of Warwick in England were inspired by proteins in some species of Arctic fish, wood frogs and other organisms that prevent blood from freezing, allowing them to flourish in extreme cold. Previous research had shown these natural antifreeze molecules (分子) could preserve rat hearts at -1.3 degrees Celsius for up to 24 hours. But these proteins are expensive to extract (提取) and highly poisonous to some species. “For a long time everyone assumed you had to make synthetic (人造的) alternatives that looked exactly like antifreeze proteins to solve this problem, ”says Matthew Gibson, a chemist at Warwick who co-authored the new research. “But we found that you can design new molecules that function like antifreeze proteins but do not necessarily look like them. ”
Most natural antifreeze molecules have a mixture of regions that either attract or repel water. Scientists do not know exactly how this process prevents ice crystal formation, but Gibson thinks it might throw water molecules into push-pull chaos that prevents them from tuning into ice. To copy this mechanism, he and his colleagues synthesized spiral-shaped molecules that were mostly water-repellent—but had iron atoms at their centers that made them hydrophilic, or water-loving. The resulting compounds were surprisingly effective at stopping ice crystals from forming. Some were also harmless to the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, indicating they might be safe for other animals.
“These compounds are really cool because they are not proteins—they are other types of molecules that nonetheless can do at least part of what natural antifreeze proteins do, ”says Clara do Amaral, a biologist at Mount St. Joseph University, who was not involved in the research. Gibson’s antifreeze compounds will still need to be tested in humans, however, and may be only part of a solution. “We don’t have the whole picture yet, ”do Amaral adds. “It’s not just one magical compound that helps freeze-tolerant organisms survive. It’s a whole suite of adaptations.

3、How are antifreeze molecules prevented from ice crystals?
A．By creating compounds both water-repellent and water-loving.
B．By extracting the proteins from some hardy animals.
C．By making synthetic alternatives like antifreeze proteins.
D．By copying spiral-shaped molecules mostly water-resistant.
4、What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Push-pull chaos might prevent water molecules from turning into ice.
B．The final solution to preserving donor organs has been found recently.
C．Chemicals inspired by Arctic animals could lengthen organs’ shelf life.
D．Gibson’s antifreeze compounds can do what natural antifreeze proteins do.
25．（10分）When Dee Dee Bridgewater learned that she would become a 2017 NEA Jazz Master, a series of thoughts and feelings flooded her mind. “It was so far out of my orbit and just my whole sphere of thinking,” she said in a conversation at NPR this spring, hours before she formally received her award.
She’s 66-far from retirement age in jazz, and on the extreme forward edge of the NEA Jazz Masters people. So she was aware of her relative youth in the field She also recognized that there haven’t been many women in the ranks of NEA Jazz Maste
