第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10小题；毎小题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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Living next to the Spellmans， our new neighbors， almost drove my mother crazy. If shewasn’t shaming them for not attending church， or complaining to her sister Jackie about theway the Spellman girls dressed， then she was shoeing theSpellman’s dogs out of our yard orfiling noise complaints with the police， My mother had never been so busy.All she ever spokeof any more were the Spellmans and their wrongdoings.
One Sunday afternoon after church service， my mother was driving old Ms Parker hometo her house on the hill when we got a flat tire. As far as changing the tire， let’s just say thatwe were at the mercy of the good Lord. Since old Ms. Parker lived so far up that hill， not a lotof traffic drove by us. It had been about fifteen minutes since the last car passed when weheard the rattling and puttering of an old pickup truck as it pulled over to assist us.
The Spellman boys ran up on our car like a NASCAR pit crew. Before my mother couldeven protest， they had taken the tire off. "Her spare is flat， " said the middle one to the big one. " Give her ours”replied the big one， barely acknowledging the sacrifice. My mother wasstunned. "I don， t know what to say， "she stammered. The big one said， "Well， the Lord saidlove your neighbor， and we are neighbors， right?
The next day when the Spellman’s dogs went through my mother's flower garden， sheput out a bowl of water for them. When she saw the Spellman girls walking out with nothingbut a halter on， she lectured them about being upright ladies and offered them sweaters. Andwhen she heard the Spellman's music through our walls， she tried to dance a little bit. Sheeven invited the Spellmans to be part of the good neighbors committee. Now theneighborhood was a better place.
21. What was the authors mother mad at?
A. The Spellmans' improper behavior.
B. The Spellmans'attending church alone.
C. The Spellmans'constantly asking for help.
D The Spellmans 'dogs making too much waste.
22. How did the author's mother feel about being helped by the Spellman boys?
A. Delighted B Concerned. C. Frightened D. Surprised
23. What can we learn from the experience of the author's mother?
A. Every man has his weak side. B. Doubt is the key to knowledge.
C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. Actions speak louder than words
B
Ms. O'grady， the head of Britains Trades Union Congress， issued a challenge onSeptember 10th. "We can win a four-day working week， "she told members. The demand isfar from new. Shorter working weeks have been tried in New Zealand and Sweden， wherein happier， healthier and more motivated employees. Those who work shorterweeks are also reported to be more productive. Should weekends， therefore， be lengthened?
France’s experience suggests workers may not leap at the chance of working for fewerhours. The government reduced the full-time workers week to 35 hours in 2000. Last yearthe French worked 38.9 hours a week on average， seeming happy to labor above the requiredlevel and pocket the extra pay or holiday allowance.
And businesses may not seize the opportunity either. Working less may be linked tohigher productivity （on a per-hour basis）， but overall output could still fall because of thesmaller number of hours worked. That will not get governments or employers excited.
Advocates of a four-day week could claim that improving people’s quality of life is moreimportant than boosting the economy. In an essay published during The Great Depression，John Maynard Keynes wrote of an"age of leisure and abundance"in which technologicaladvances would allow people to work 15-hour week.
Unfortunately for any readers working hard on a Friday aftemoon， Keynes jumped at his conclusion too soon. Even Ms. O'grady， now demanding a longer weekend， is pessimistic inher timescale. A four-day week is apparently achievable“in this century”.
24. The underlined phrase"leap at "in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A. Refuse B.grab C. abandonD. obtain
25. We can infer from the last paragraph that Ms. O'grady _______.
A.calls for an urgent attention to her suggestion
B. feels confident of making longer weekend a reality
C. regrets coming up with the idea of a longer weekend
D. realizes the idea of longer weekend remains a distant dream
26. What is the text mainly about?
A. A longer weekend isn’t that practical.
B. The French oppose a longer weekend
C. A longer weekend causes lower efficiency.
D. A three-day weekend is a fresh idea in Europe.
C
Palaces are known for their beauty and splendor， but they offer little protection againstattacks. It is easy to defend a fortress （堡垒），but fortresses are not designed with thecomfort of a king or queen in mind. When it comes to structures that are both majestic andwell-defended， the classic European castle is the best example of design. Across the agescastles changed， developed， and eventually fell out of use， but they still command thefascination of our culture.
Castles were originally built in England by Norman invaders. In 1066. As William theConqueror advanced through England， he defended key positions to secure the land he hadtaken. The castles he built allowed the Norman lords to draw back to safety when threatenedby English rebellion. Castles also served as bases of operation for offensive attacks. Troopswere summoned to（召集）， organized around， and deployed （部署） from castles. In thisway castles served both offensive and defensive roles in military operations.
Not limited to military purposes， castles also served as offices from which the lord wouldadminister control over his kingdom. That is to say， the lord of the land would hold court inhis castle. Those that were socially beneath the lord would come to report the affairs of thelands that they governed and pay tribute to the lord. They would address conflicts， handlebusiness， feast， and enjoy festivities， In this way castles served as important social centers inmedieval England. Castles also served as symbols of power. Built on important andnoticeable sites overlooking the surrounding areas， castles constantly appeared in thebackground of many peasants'lives and served as a daily reminder of the lords strength.
Now， castles no longer serve their original purposes. However， the remaining castlesreceive millions of visitors each year from those who wish to experience the glory of a timelong passed.
27. The author introduces the topic of the text by _______.
A.making an assumption B. giving an example
C. making comparison D. giving arguments
28. Why did William the Conqueror build castles?
A. He wanted to celebrate his victory.
B. He wanted to remind people of his influence.
C. He wanted to live peacefully with the English.
D. He wanted to use them to his military advantage.
29. Which of the following is a way the lord would adopt to show his power?
A. Dealing with conflicts in his castle.
B. Building his castle in an obvious place.
C. Carrying out social activities in his castle.
D. Commanding peasants to live near his castle.
30. What attracts people to visit castles today?
A. The splendid history. B. The special architecture.
C. The tense atmosphere. D. The superior comfort.

Test anxiety is actually a type of performance anxiety-a feeling someone might havein a situation where performance really counts， It can be a real problem if you're so stressed out over a test that you can't get past the nervousness to focus on the test questions and doyour best work. 31
Use a little stress to your advantage.
Stress is a signal that helps you prepare for something important. So use it to youradvantage. Instead of reacting to the stress with fear， take an active approach 32 Chances are that you' ll keep your stress under control. After all， nobody ever feels stressedout by thoughts that they might do well on a test
Ask for help.
Although a little test anxiety can be a good thing， too much of it is another story. Ifsitting for a test gets you so stressed out that your mind goes blank and causes you to missanswers that you know， then your level of test anxiety probably needs some attention. 33 Never let test anxiety get to be too much to handle
Be prepared.
Many students find that their test anxiety eases when they start to study better or more regularly. It makes sense-the more you know the material， the more confident you'll feel 34 When you expect to do well， you' ll be able to relax into a test after the normalfirst-moment nervousness passes.
Watch what you're thinking
If expecting to do well on a test can help you relax， what about if you expectyou won’t do well? Watch out for any negative messages you might be sending yourself aboutthe test. 35
If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts（ I’m never any good at taking tests" orIt's going to be terrible if I do badly on this test "）， replace them with positive messages. Notunrealistic positive messages， of course， but ones that are practical and true， such as"I’vestudied hard and I know the material， so I'm ready to do the best I can.”
A. They can contribute to your anxiety.
B. Let stress remind you to study well in advance of a test.
C. Having confidence going into a test means you expect to do well.
D. A little nervous expectation can actually help you do better on a test.
E. However， feeling ready to meet the challenges can help manage test anxiety.
F. Your teacher， a school guidance counselor， or a tutor can be good people to talk to.
G. They can help to learn ways to calm yourself down and relax when you're anxious.

第二节概要写作（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In the popular imagination， the rise of self-driving cars will mean greener cities， saferroads， and happier workers. With technology， speeding， braking， and reaccelerating -whichare responsible for much of the gas burned on roads， today and the resulting air pollution-would be a memory. But despite these opportunities， there are certain reasons why driverlessvehicles may fail to live up to some of these expectations， or at least take a little while longerto achieve them.
First， truly automated technology - at least the kind that requires no humaninvolvement -is rare in every sector of the economy， and there’s little reason to thinkdriving will be any different. There is a permanent need for a human backup incaseiving， that means human drivers will still bear the finalresponsibility for the cars they're riding in.
A related challenge-particularly for driverless cars-is the complexity of the systemsinvolved. For example， some cars today require over 100 million lines of software code （代码） to keep them running More code means more functions， which， to some degree， alsomeans more opportunities for software errors. Driverless cars raise a challenge in this regard and possibly cause more opportunities for errors- errors that can lead to accidents.
Yet the greatest challenge facing driverless cars isn't technological， but psychological. Surveys consistently reveal global skepticism about the technology. Americans， for example，remain more worried than excited by driverless cars. Over half of the American public says itwould not ride one given the opportunity. This shows a deep-seated lack of trust in thetechnology. Similar ideas have been expressed worldwide.
What's more likely is that human drivers will continue applying some control over theircars， regardless of how automated those cars are. Some may quarrel with this idea. Butautomakers have long been preparing for it. Just ask Nissan， Waymo， and Zoo， all of whichare exploring ways for human drivers to retake control of a car should automation fail. Inother words， driverless does not-and will not-mean humanless.

Contrary to people's vision of a better city life， self-driving cars are on the road tonowhere.
