第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Dear Mom,
I haven’t written before for quite a while because I have got no energy. I now get around my room and this floor of the hospital with a walking stick but I can go only a little bit at a time because I’m awfully weak yet. My right leg was taken out of the cast (石膏) several days ago and it’s still as stiff as a board and awfully sore from so much carving around the knee joint. But the surgeon says that eventually it will be all right. I’ve included a picture of me in bed. It looks like my left leg is a stump (残肢), but it really isn’t. Just bent so it looks that way...
This war makes us a bit less fools than we were. There isn’t going to be any such thing as “foreigners” for me after the war is won. I’ve gotten Italian pretty well. I’ve picked up quite a lot of Polish and my French is improving. You want to be prepared for a lot of visitors after the war now because I’ve a lot of pals coming to see me in Chicago. I don’t know when I’ll be back. I can’t get in the army and they won’t take me with two shaky legs in the draft (征兵) if I go home. So I might as well stay over here and avoid the awkwardness for a while.
Also Ma, I’m in love again. Now don’t start worrying about me getting married for I’m not. I’m not even going to get engaged. So don’t write any “God Bless U, My Children”: Not for about 10 years. You’re a dear old kid, and still my best girl. God bless you and write me often... I love you.
Ernie
21. By mentioning that his right leg would be all right, the writer intends to ___________.
A. show the cruelty of the war B. put his mom’s mind at ease
C. persuade his girlfriend to marry him D. get his mom’s permission to join the army
22. We can learn from the letter that ___________.
A. Ernie is able to speak four foreign languages
B. Ernie hardly made any friends before the war
C. Ernie hopes to keep in touch with his mother
D. Ernie is engaged but hasn’t had the plan for marriage
23. What emotion is mainly conveyed in the letter?
A. Love for Mom. B. Fear about pain.
C. Gratitude for doctors. D. Doubt about friendship.
B
Just a year ago, the colors were bright under the waves. Now it’s gray — the Maldivian reef is dead. The coral is killed by the pressure of rising temperatures.
Coral reefs are areas underwater where small creatures live. The coral is hard material formed on the bottom of the sea by the skeletons of those creatures. But the world has lost about half its coral reefs in the last 30 years. Scientists are working to prevent their destruction. Due to global warming, over 90 percent of corals are expected to die by 2050. “To lose coral reefs is to fundamentally undermine the health of a very large proportion of the human race,” said Ruth Gates, director of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology.
Why are coral reefs important? Coral reefs support a fourth of all marine species, as well as half a billion peopleworldwide. They serve as barriers to protect coastlines from the storms. They provide billions of dollars from tourism, fishing and other trade. They are also used in medical research for cures for diseases. “Everyone should be concerned,” said biologist Ove Guldberg at Australia’s University of Queensland. “This is not just some distant dive destination. This is the basic structure of the ecosystem we depend on.”
The ocean is getting warmer. A rising temperature of just one to two degree Celsius can force coral to expel the algae (驱逐海藻) that live there. This leaves their white skeletons uncovered. It is a process called “bleaching”. Sixteen percent of the world’s corals died of bleaching in 1998. The problem has become much worse in recent years.
“We’ve lost 50 percent of the reefs, but that means we still have 50 percent left,” said Ruth Gates, who is working in Hawaii to breed corals that can better withstand increasing temperatures. She is also trying to “train” corals to survive rising temperatures. Gates says it is time to start “thinking outside the box”— find creative ways to help them.
24. The underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 2 means ___________.
A. weaken B. regain C. promote D. overlook
25. What’s the major concern of the scientists like Ove Guldberg?
A. People won’t find a dive destination in the future.
B. The effort to save corals will turn out to be fruitless.
C. The destruction of coral reefs will affect the earth ecosystem.
D. The bright sea has lost its charm because of those dead corals.
26. The fourth paragraph is mainly about ___________.
A. the harm of algae B. the process of “bleaching”
C. the importance of coral reefs D. the change of ocean temperature
27. Ruth Gates’ attitude towards the protection of corals is ___________.
A. proud B. cautious C. optimistic D. casual
C
When Apple cut its expectation benefit for the last quarter of 2018 because of slow sales of iPhones, markets were shocked. The company’s share price, which had been sliding for months, fell by a further 10% on January 3rd, the day after the news came out. Apple’s suppliers’ shares were also hit. But Apple’s pain is humans’ gain. The fact that these magical devices are now so popular is something to be celebrated.
Nearly 4bn of the 5.5bn adults on the planet now have one smartphone. They connect billions of people to the internet’s huge amount of information and services. Phones make markets more efficient and inspire growth. Yes, they can be used for wasting time and spreading disinformation. But the good far outweighs the bad. They might be the most effective tool of development in existence.
Actually this slowdown is the result of market saturation (饱和). After a decade of rapid taking-in, there is much less opportunity to sell handsets to first-time buyers as so few of them are left. And replacement cycles are becoming longer as new models offer only insignificant improvements. For all but the craziest fans, the slowing pace of upgrades comes as a welcome relief.
Does that mean innovation (创新) is slowing? No. The latest phones contain amazingly clever technology such as 3D face-scanners and cameras assisted by artificial intelligence. Moreover, smartphones also provide a foundation for extra innovations, like mobile payments and video streaming, and for future ones, such as controlling “smart” home equipment or robotaxis.
As computers become smaller, still more personal and closer to people’s bodies, many scientists believe that wearable devices will be the next big thing. Even so, finding another product with the range of the smartphone is a tall order. The recent slowing of smartphone sales is bad news for the industry, obviously. But for the rest of humans it is a welcome sign that a transformative technology has become almost universal.
28. The writer considers the slowdown of smartphone sales good news because ___________.
A. it can make market more efficient B. it slows crazy fans’ pace of upgrades
C. it means less disinformation will spread D. it indicates the popularity of smartphones
29. We can infer from the text that ___________.
A. wearable devices will take the place of smartphones very soon
B. in the future people might take a smartphone-controlled robotaxi
C. Apple’s suppliers’ shares hit a record high after the news came out
D. Apple’s share prices are likely to go on sliding in the next decade
30. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Brand New Age for Humans B. Smartphone, a Good Tool or a Bad Tool?
C. New Technology in Smartphones D. Bad News for Apple, Good News for Humans

A Pen That Draws in Any Color
The Scribble is a magical pen that can scan colors and instantly reproduce the colors. Hold the Scribble’s scanner up to any color, and within a second that color is stored in its memory. 31
Who can use the Scribble?
Children will love the Scribble because it can create different colors, replacing even their biggest box of crayons. Besides, anyone working with color in their professional lives, such as artists, will be able to scan and reproduce colors instantly.
32
Green! One of the most important characteristics of the Scribble is that, since it can reproduce any color, it replaces marking pens, greatly reducing the huge amount of plastic waste.
What’s inside the Scribble?
There will be two different versions of the Scribble, the ScribbleK and the Scribble S. The K will be able to reproduce exact colors on paper. It includes a color sensor and a rechargeable battery.33 The S looks exactly the same as the K, but it is intended for use on screen.
How did we create the Scribble?
We’ve been in the design process for two years and the Scribble has gone through various design changes to get it to where we are now. Because of its small size we have created some ideas never seen before in the color reproduction industry. 34
Thank you for your support.
