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） I've just got to talk about this problem I'm having with my postman. It all began a year ago，after the birth of his first child. Not wanting to appear rude，I asked him about the baby. The next week，not wanting him to think I had asked out of mere politeness the week before. I asked all about the baby again. Now I can't break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words "How's the baby？"come out on their own. It holds me up. It holds him up. So why can't I stop it？The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it，I want everyone to like me.
My sister had the same problem with the caretaker of her block of flats: " All he ever does is complain；he talks at me rather than to me，never listen to a word I say，and yet for some reason I'm always really nice to him. I'm worried in case I have a difficulty one day，and he won't lift a finger to help. "
What about at work？Richard Lawton，a management trainer，warns: "Those managers who are actually liked by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that make managers popular are being honest with staff，treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like saying hello in the morning. "To explain the point，Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who desperately wanted to be liked and who，after making one of his managers fired，said with moist（湿润的）eyes that he was so，so sorry the man was leaving. The employee replied" "If you were that sorry，I wouldn't be leaving. "The lesson being，therefore，that if you try too hard to be liked，people won't like you.
The experts say it all starts in childhood. "If children feel they can only get love from their parents by being good，"says Zelda West-Meads，a marriage guidance consultant，"they develop low self-confidence and become compulsive（难以抑制的）givers. "But is there anything wrong in being a giver，the world not being exactly short of takers？Anne Cousins believes there is. "There is a point at which giving becomes unhealthy，"she says.
"It comes when you do things for others but feel bad about it. "
I am now trying hard to say to people" I feel uncomfortable about saying this，but. . "，and tell myself" Refusal of a request does not mean rejection of a person" and I find I can say almost anything to almost anyone.

22．（8分） "Big tobacco" is what the bosses of several large technology firms have started calling Facebook． Being compared to the tobacco giants is far from praise， but it is not the only wide﹣spread analogy（比拟）． A lower blow is the suggestion that Facebook may become like Yahoo， the once high﹣flying internet firm that fell．
Even a year ago the idea would have been unthinkable． But since January Facebook has become trapped in a series of misjudgments and missteps． It became clear that it had done too little to stop Russian interference（干涉） in America's election in 2016． It had to admit that it had shared the personal data of 90m users with outside firms without permission．
The comparison to Yahoo is imperfect． Even at its peak Yahoo's business was never as large and profitable as Facebook's． One of the main reasons Yahoo declined is because it lost out to a powerful competitor， Google， in online search； Marissa Mayer， its boss from 2012 until its sale to Verizon last year， was unable to restore advertisers' or employees' confidence as users left．
But people who watched Yahoo's falling see similarities． Executive（主管） turnover was a leading indicator of its decline； before Ms． Mayer was hired Yahoo went through four chief executives in three years． Mr． Zuckerberg， who controls the majority of Facebook's voting shares， is not leaving， but many top executives are． This year several have announced their departures， including Facebook's chief security officer．
When advertisers' faith in Facebook has been shaken， politicians in Washington are running out of patience with the company． Lawmakers' inspection of the firm is causing it to be more cautious about how it uses data for targeting advertisements and about what information it makes available to outsiders．
Mr． Zuckerberg and Ms． Sandberg are under pressure to prove to employees and advertisers that Facebook is not only trustworthy but worthy of their time and money． If they cannot do so， and the company's share price continues its slide， it is possible that Ms． Sandberg will be replaced in the next year． Mr． Zuckerberg will doubtless have thoughts about Yahoo's sorry tale．
1、For Facebook， being compared to "big tobacco" is　 　．
A．positive
B．ambitious
C．creative
D．negative
2、According to the author， what does Facebook currently have in common with the failed Yahoo？
A．Letting out users' data．
B．Being deep in financial crisis．
C．Leaders are leaving the company．
D．Laying off a large number of employees．
3、The author tries to support his judgment about Facebook by　 　．
A．questioning its management
B．using evidence related to it
C．analyzing its financial data
D．listing its advantages and disadvantages
4、What is the main idea of the passage？
A．Facebook gets trapped in trouble．
B．Two companies are deep in crisis．
C．How to save Facebook．
D．Faith is more valuable than gold．
23．（8分）With the development of our society, cell phones have become a common part in our lives. Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers (低头族).
Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction(毁灭) of the world.
Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors’ words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
1、Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2?
A．To suggest phubbers will destroy the world.
B．To call for people to go walking without phones.
C．To tell people of the bad effects of phubbing.
D．To advise students to create more cartoons like this.
2、According to the passage, what risks may a phubber have?
①Destructing the world
②Affecting his social skills
③Damaging his neck and eyesight
④Getting separated from his friends and family
A．①②④ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②③④
3、What’s the author’s attitude towards phubbing?
A．Supportive B．Confident C．Disapproving D．Unconcerned
4、What will be talked about in the following paragraph?
A．Ways to avoid the risks of phubbing. B．Bad effects of phubbing.
C．Daily life of phubbers. D．Methods of phubbing.
24．（8分）I was born on the 17th of November 1828 in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide.
As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies’ Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls’ school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys’ school.
Mrs. Gutzlaff’s comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father’s friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff’s School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.
1、How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school?
A．Through his father’s friend’s help.
B．Through his own efforts to exams.
C．Through his father’s request.
D．Through Mrs. Gutzlaff’s influence.
2、Why did the author’s parents put him into an English school？
A．An English school was more influential.
B．Foreign trade with China was developing fast.
C．It met with Chinese public opinion.
D．He could become a successful interpreter.
3、What did the author think of his parents’ decision to put him into an English school?
A．It was skeptical. B．It was mysterious.
C．It was thoughtful. D．It was wonderful.
25．（10分）I was delighted to receive a copy of Marie Curie and her Daughters by Shelley Emling through my letter-box a few weeks ago.
