第二部分  阅读（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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

(A)

Stargazers can visit famous dark-sky parks in the world and enjoy unpolluted views of night skies. Let's take a deeper dive into what you'll see at the dark-sky parks.

Joshua Tree National Park, California

Joshua Tree National Park is a popular attraction for stargazers living on the west coast. Despite being influenced by light pollution on its western borders from Coachella Valley cities, its relative isolation from major cities in the east(with Phoenix being the closest city area some 300 miles away), provides it with some of the darkest skies in California.

Elqui Valley, Chile

A popular wine region centered on the Elqui River in northern Chile, the Elqui Valley also offers ideal conditions(high-altitude, low-population, limited cloud cover) for uncorking a bottle and toasting the heavens above. Spanning some 90,000 acres, the region has the distinction of being named the first-ever Dark Sky Sanctuary by the International Astronomical Union in 2015.

It's also home to nearly a dozen observatories, boutique stargazing hotels and a large variety of tours that cover both cosmic and daytime spectacles.

Wadi Rum, Jordan

One of Jordan's most valuable tourist destinations, Wadi Rum is an otherworldly mountain desert featuring dramatic rock formations and wind-swept rust-colored dunes. Wadi Rum is an incredible landscape too (used for a lot of sci-fi movies like Rogue One, Prometheus and The Martian) and it's one of the dark places where you can just sit and look up at the wonder of the night sky with very little interruption.

Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, America

It's no surprise that Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve has been building a reputation for good night sky viewing. The dry air, high elevation, and lack of light pollution all make the park an ideal dark-sky destination.

The Sangre de Cristo Mountains block much of the sky glow coming from nearby cities, shrouding(遮蔽，笼罩)the park-with its 149,164 acres of dunes, wetlands, grasslands, forests and alpine tundra-in darkness.

1. What do we know about Joshua Tree National Park?

A. It is relatively separated from major cities.

B. It is the first dark sky park in the world.

C. It is affected by no light pollution.

D. It is named as the darkest sky in the world.

2. What helps prevent Great Sand Dunes from light?

A. The wetlands. B. The sand dune.

C. The forests. D. The mountains.

3. Who are the intended readers of the text?

A. Park goers. B. Space explorers.

C. Star observers. D. Adventurous campers.

(B)

Tommy, a 26-year-old chimp(猩猩),lives in a small cage in a used truck sales lot in New York. Retired from movie work and whatever else once occupied him, he has no chimp friends to keep him company — just a TV. He is worlds away from the rainforest of Western Africa, where chimps spend most of their lives in trees, hunting, and socializing together.

His owner hasn't broken any laws, but an animal rights group called the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) is trying to change the view. The group says chimps have such a humanlike intelligence that they should be recognized as “legal persons" and be placed in an animal shelter and wander free.

You've probably heard the term “animal rights”, but animals don't actually have rights in many countries. Animal-welfare laws punish people who mistreat animals, but that's not the same as chimps having a right to liberty or anything else.

NhRP's first step is to ask a judge to end people's unjust arrest on behalf of Tommy and other privately owned chimps. If the court decides to recognize chimps as legal persons, NhRP's next step will be arguing for what rights the chimps should be granted. "The right that we believe they should have most of all is the right to bodily liberty," says Wise, a NhRP group member. "They should be able to choose how to live their lives.”

Tommy's owner, Pat Lavery, says he rescued Tommy from a careless owner about a decade ago and denies the chimp is mistreated or unhappy. "He likes being by himself,"  he says.

“There's a danger in making a jump to say they're just like people," says Richard Cupp, a professor who writes about animals and the law. "If we' re really focused on chimps being very, very smart, then who knows if maybe someday we might …say, ‘Hey, here's a particular human being that's not very smart at all, maybe the chimps have higher status than this person.’”

4. What can we know about Tommy?

A. He is living a very lonely life.

B. He dislikes living in the rainforest.

C. He likes watching movies very much,

D. He was illegally bought by Pat Lavery.

5. What can we infer from the text?

A. Great progress has been made on improving animal rights.

B. Pat Lavery is thought to mistreat Tommy by NhRP.

C. Animal rights are going from bad to worse.

D. Animal rights have been admitted in western countries.

6. What's the final goal NhRP wants to achieve?

A. To ensure chimps' bodily safety. B. To stop illegal hunting of chimps.

C. To help chimps find their families. D. To help chimps enjoy their freedom.

7. What's Richard Cupp's attitude towards NhRP's efforts to win rights for chimps?

A. Hopeful, B. Uncaring.

C. Worried. D. Supportive.

(C)

Now, an increasing number of cities are suspending recycling services, partly out of fear that workers might contact the coronavirus from one another while sorting through used water bottles, food containers and boxes. One solution: Let robots do the job.

Since the coronavirus took hold in the United States last month, AMP Robotics has seen a “significant” increase in orders for its robots that use artificial intelligence to sort through recycled material, and weed out trash. Some facilities that were looking at getting one or two robots are now saying, “We need quite a bit more.” The Colorado company’s chief executive, Matanya Horowitz said, “It’s all moving quite fast.”

Before the pandemic, automation had been gradually replacing human work in a range of jobs, from call centers to warehouses and grocery stores, as companies looked to cut labor costs and improve profit.

But labor and robotics experts say social-distancing directives, which are likely to continue in some form after the crisis become less strong, could cause more industries to accelerate their use of automation. And long-lasting worries about job losses or a broad unease about having machines control vital aspects of daily life could disappear as society sees the benefits of restructuring workplaces in ways that minimize close human contact.

Recycling is one industry that may be altered permanently by the pandemic. Some workers, who earn as little as $10 an hour, have been concerned about coming to work during the crisis and some cities have been competing to find enough protective gear (防护装备) for all of their employees. Federal health officials have assured them that the risks of transmission from household refuse is low. But workers in recycling facilities often work side by side sorting material, making social distancing difficult.

At AMP Robotics, executives like Mr. Horowitz say their robots will enable recycling facilities to space out their employees, who stand at conveyor belts weeding through the used plastic and paper.

8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

A. The pandemic becomes less strong. B. Robots are in greater demand now.

C. Recycling services aren’t satisfying. D. Unemployment is sharply on the rise.

9. How do people feel about automation after the pandemic?

A. Panicked. B. Doubtful. C. Appreciative. D. Unconcerned.

10. In which aspect will robots help most in recycling industry?

A. Sorting out recycled material. B. Minimizing close human contact.

C. Replacing the jobs of cheap labor. D. Producing enough protective gear.

11. What is the text mainly about?

A. Pandemic accelerates automation. B. Robots cause severe unemployment.

C. Recycling industry is changing. D. Social distancing is still important.

(D)

We’ve all been there: those times you need to argue your point of view to someone who you know disagrees with you. You immediately go to your keyboard and start to type out that 280-character tweet, the Facebook reply, or a paragraphs-long email. Surely the reason, logic, and strong power of your written words will convince whoever it is who disagrees with you to see your point of view. But new research suggests a different idea.

That research was conducted by Juliana Schroeder, assistant professor of University of California, Berkeley, and her colleagues. In Schroeder’s study of almost 300 people, participants were asked to watch, listen, and read arguments about subjects they agreed or disagreed with. They were asked to judge the character of the communicator and the quality of the argument. Schroeder’s team found that the participants who watched or listened to the communicator were less dismissive (抵触的)of their claims than when they read that communicator’s same argument.

The idea for her study came from a newspaper article about a politician. One of us read a speech that was printed in a newspaper from a politician with whom he strongly disagreed. The next week, he heard the exact same speech playing on a radio station. He was shocked by how different his reaction was toward the politician when he read the speech compared to when he heard it. When he read the statement, the politician seemed idiotic, but when he heard it spoken, the politician actually sounded reasonable.

So in the workplace, speaking to someone in person often involves nothing more than walking a few doors down to their office. And that’s exactly what you should do if you need to convince that boss or colleague of why your blueprint for the company or project is the right one.

Only as a last way should you try to communicate with someone who you disagree with over social media. Twitter’s limited text allowance and social media users’ short attention make arguing your point an uphill battle.

12. What’s the result of the research?

A. Written words are more logical and reasonable.

B. People prefer to communicate with key board.

C. When reading an argument, the participants were less dismissive than hearing it.

D. Oral, not written, communication works better.

13. Why is the politician mentioned in paragraph3?

A. To introduce the topic for discussion.

B. To summarize the previous paragraphs.

C. To explain why Schroeder conducted the research.

D. To introduce the politician’s speech.

14. What does the underlined word “idiotic’’in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Wise. B. Practical. C. Silly. D. Special.

15. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A. To persuade your boss, you need to walk to his office and leave a message.

B. It’s difficult to fully explain your points due to social media’s limitation.

C. Arguing over social media is more convenient than speaking in person.

D. Communicating with others over social media is encouraged.

Psychologists have long believed that human beings have a fairly consistent “negativity bias（消极偏见）” that leads us to pay more attention to negative thoughts, feelings and events than to positive ones. ____16____There is a positive explanation for the question.

____19____We're living in a time of pandemic or financial stress and deep division. Our negativity biases call our attention toward those realities. But we are well served to also see the opportunities in this moment：Maybe there's a home project we otherwise wouldn't have found time to tackle.

Ask for Positive Reminders. Get in the habit of checking in with people who are with you when goodness finds you today. Mention to them “That is an unexpected bit of praise from the boss, isn't it?” ____20____And who knows, you may help your friend, family member or coworker have a more positive day as well!

A. Try the following suggested ideas.

B. Redefine negativity as an opportunity.

C. Instead, practice your positive lifestyle.

Snowflakes dancing in the sky, it was an awfully cold winter. Mary felt as gray as the sky outside. She struggled to get by the tough winter because her bills went up while her income went down.

Her refrigerator sat empty. Her only food consisted of peanut butter, bread and bananas, only enough for two sandwiches. Worse still, it would be four days before she got paid. As Mary prepared to sit down and eat half of her remaining food, she heard a knock at the door. Who could it be on such a freezing night?  Robbery scenes from films flashed across her mind. Then Mary shook her head and laughed at her foolish thought-no robber would choose her as a target. Opening the door, she saw a stranger standing outside, body trembling with cold.

“Madam, sorry to disturb you, but I'm lost and get stuck in the snow. Could you please spare a piece of bread?" the stranger asked cautiously and politely in a weak but deep voice.

“I'm afraid not,” said Mary, “but I could make you a peanut butter and banana sandwich.”

“That sounds wonderful,” the stranger answered. "Mind if I wait here on the porch?”

“Yes, I do mind,” Mary replied, "but you could come in and eat it at the table.”

Not expecting both food and warmth, the stranger entered the house eagerly. Mary hurried off to the kitchen for the last four pieces of bread, peanut butter, and bananas. In a few minutes, she returned and invited him to sit down to eat what she could offer. After eating, the man thanked and said goodbye to her.

Looking outside Mary hesitated a moment and said, "If you don't mind, you can sleep on the sofa.” "That would be good enough," responded the man gratefully.

Mary went into her room, and locked the door. The next morning, when she woke up,  she remembered the man. "How will I tell him I have nothing for breakfast?" she asked herself. She dressed, unlocked, and opened the door slightly.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

To her surprise, the man was nowhere to be seen.
