第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节： （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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
All aboard: try these out
Here are new card games popular in the Western geek circle that offer much brain work. Give them a try if you fancy testing your limits.
Mysterium
In this game, the players are to solve a murder mystery in order to put rest the soul of a wrongly-accused man who dies in prison.
Mysterium allows one player to be the ghost itself, who offers clues to other players in the way of “dream cards”. The dream cards will then lead players to the cards with details about the murder weapon, location and
suspects. Figuring out the connections between these elements will help them find the murderer.
Playing the ghost can be fun, as Tony Mastrangeli, a game reviewer, puts it, “For me, some of the most fun comes from playing the ghost role. I like steering the ship and handing out cards.”
Codenames
Codenames starts players out with cards. Each card bears a word on the front and a secret identity on the back. Players are divided into two teams, red team and blue team. Each team has a leader, or “spymaster”, who owns a map of each hidden identity. It’s then their job to give out clues so the team members can find their own spies.
Spymasters can only indicate the word on the card following a strict format: a single word followed by a number. For example, if the cards bearing “cactus (仙人掌)” and “heat” both belong to the red team, the clue can be “desert, two”. The red team members will then start discussing the clues and try to find the two cards that relate to “desert”.
Pandemic: Legacy
In this game, you and your friends play a team of doctors and scientists, who can help to prevent four deadly diseases from wiping out humanity. This is a cooperative game, which means you and your teammates either live together or die together.
By drawing an instruction card, teammates will be able to move, treat diseases or build a research station. If they draw one of the five “epidemic” (流行病) cards, the city will suffer a disease outbreak. If handled wrong, outbreaks might lead to a chain reaction and cause things to crash down.
Pandemic: Legacy requires you to look at the bigger picture before making any decisions. Finding the balance between treating diseases and seeking more permanent cures is a constant challenge.
21. Playing the ghost in Mysterium offers you a lot of fun because __________.
A. you can save the soul
B. you can solve the murder mystery by yourself
C. you can bring the dead man back to life
D. you can be the key player of the game
22. In Codenames, what clue may the Spymaster give for the cards bearing “agency”, “climate” and “hotel”?
A. “tourism, 3” B. “geography, 3” C. “location, 2” D. “architecture, 2”
23. Which of the following is NOT true about Pandemic: Legacy?
A. It’s a role-play game.
B. It requires players to draw pictures.
C. It involves teamwork.
D. It calls for carefulness and comprehensive thinking to win the challenge.
B
You know that squeak(吱吱声) you hear from your pet mouse or the pest mouse? It turns out that it is not really a squeak, but a sweet song by male mice to attract females. This is the conclusion reached by biologist Dustin Penn and his team at the Veterinary University of Vienna.
The scientists who have been conducting a series of studies on house mice for a number of years, began by recording the high-pitched(声调高的) sounds male mice made the moment they sensed a female mouse around. What they discovered when they played them back to females was that the ladies could tell between those made by their brothers and the ones made by unrelated males. Just like human, they tended to ignore the ones made by their brothers.
The researchers then took the experiment one step further and analyzed the squeaks. To their surprise they discovered that while the squeaks sounded similar, they each had a different “tune”. The biggest surprise of all was that the mice could even learn tunes from each other.
However, not all scientists agree with this finding. Some like Kurt Hammer, a scientist at the German Primate Center believe that the test sample was too small to make such a conclusion.
The researchers next plan to test if the females care about the quality of the “song”. In some bird species, males that can sing the most complex tunes seem to get the most attention.
So why do we care whether mice can sing or not? Clearly, since they are being used as laboratory testers, it will help us make advances in human speech disorders like the ones found in people suffering from autism(自闭症).
24. According to Dustin Pen, the squeak made by a male mouse is _______.
A. a hungry signal B. a sad cry
C. a terrible noise D. a pleasant sound
25. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. the male mice B. the female mice
C. the squeaks made by the male mice D. the squeaks made by the female mice
26. What might be Kurt Hammer’s idea?
A. More studies should be made. B. Mice are intelligent animals.
C. the conclusion is reasonable. D. Mice shouldn’t be studied.
27. One benefit of the study on mice squeaks is that it can________.
A. find ways to kill mice B. inspire musicians with their work
C. help treat human speech disorders D. find ways to select intelligent mice

China is fully prepared to export a full supply chain of high-speed railway technology, according to industry experts.
China Railway Corp, the national rail operator, said exports of railway equipment and railway construction projects are proceeding well, and breakthroughs are being made in a number of projects overseas.
Among the projects, the first full-chain commission, the Jakarta to Bandung high-speed railway in Indonesia, which includes technology, design, construction, equipment manufacture, supply of resources, operations management and staff training, has been granted a construction permit and work is proceeding smoothly.
“China's railways have established a comprehensive and advanced technology system, which is able to provide overseas customers with solutions from many different perspectives, including financing, construction, operations, and research and development,” said Yang Zhongmin, the CRC's deputy chief engineer, who added that China's railway system is competitive in terms of technology and economy of use.
According to Yang, the nation's railway equipment and infrastructure (基础设施) service businesses have entered markets in Asia, Europe, North America and Africa.
Last year, Joko Widodo, president of Indonesia, and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, rode Chinese-made bullet trains.
Yang Hao, a professor of rail transportation management at Beijing Jiaotong University, said China has a major advantage in that it is able to export a full range of railway technology: “For example, it is inconvenient to import the technology for the signaling system from one country and civil engineering technology from another.”
28. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?
A. China will help some countries build high speed rails.
B. High speed rail technology has become China’s new international business card.
C. China has established an advanced railway system.
D. China has become the strongest in high speed rail in the world.
29. The underlined word “proceeding” in the 2ndparagraph can be replaced by_________.
A. advocating B. prepared C. completed D. progressing
30. Which of the following is NOT included in China’s solutions for overseas customers?
A. construction B. research and development
C. marketing D. operation
31. What is the main advantage of China’s railway system?
A. It can export a full range of railway technology.
B. It can export the technology for the signaling system.
C. It can export civil engineering technology.
D. It can provide financial help for other countries.

For more than 25 years, Mary Read was a successful nurse in Lititz, Pennsylvania. But in 2010, at the age of50, she started having trouble with her memory and thinking, making it difficult for her to complete routine task sand follow instructions at work. The problems worsened, bringing her career to an abrupt end. In 2011, her doctor conducted a comprehensive evaluation, including a cognitive（认知的） assessment, and found that she was in the early stages of younger-onset Alzheimer's 老年痴呆症）, which affects hundreds of thousands of people under 65.
A year earlier, Elizabeth Wolf faced another sort of upheaval (突变，剧变). The 36-year-old community health program director was forced to abandon her own career, home and community in Vermont when both of her parents were diagnosed with Alzheimer's three months apart. Wolf took the difficult decision to move back into her childhood home in Mount Laurel, New Jersey in order to become their primary caregiver.
These stories are not unusual. Alzheimer's dementia disproportionately（不同程度） affects women in a variety of ways. Compared with men, 2.5 times as many women as men provide 24-hour care for an affected relative. Nearly 19 percent of these wives, sisters and daughters have had to quit work to do so. In addition, women make up nearly two-thirds of the more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's today. According to the Alzheimer's Association 2016 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures, an estimated 3.3 million women aged 65 and older in the United States have the disease. To put that number in perspective, a woman in her sixties is now about twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's as breast cancer within her lifetime.
Researchers are racing to figure out why. Women generally live longer than men, but mounting evidence suggests that longevity（长寿） alone may not account for the unequal disease burden women face. It remains unclear whether women are truly at an increased risk for Alzheimer's. But studies have revealed that there may be distinct biological and genetic factors shaping how the disease develops and progresses in women. Understanding these differences will be of key importance in devising new, more effective strategies for treating, preventing and diagnosing Alzheimer's.
Consider the example of heart disease. The death rate dropped by nearly half as awareness that it was the leading cause of death in women rose dramatically during a 12-year period beginning in 1997. Now, research uncovering biological differences in heart disease is continuing to help doctors fine tune diagnosis, prevention and treatment for women. For example, cardiologists (心脏科医生）are modifying how they identify potential risk factors, adjusting blood thinner dosages, and prescribing low-dose aspirin (阿司匹林) depending on a person's sex, particularly for older women who have already had a heart attack. Tackling Alzheimer's now requires a similar vision.
32. Why does the author give two women’s examples in the first two paragraphs?
A. To explain why they abandoned their careers.
B. To illustrate that their problems worsened further.
C. To introduce the main topic of the passage.
D. To show their love for the family.
33. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. It was Alzheimer's that caused Elizabeth Wolf to abandon her own career.
B. Identifying the distinct biological and genetic factors has nothing to do with fighting against Alzheimer's.
C. Heart disease is similar to Alzheimer's.
D. Today in America the number of women aged 60 to 69 suffering from breast cancer has reached about 1.7million.
34. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. We should make our efforts to fight against Alzheimer's.
B. Alzheimer's disease affects women more than men.
C. Researchers help doctors to figure out why more women suffer from Alzheimer's.
D. The differences in biological and genetic factors between women and men.
35. What do you predict the writer is going to talk about?
A. How to deal with Alzheimer's.
B. Compare heart disease with Alzheimer's.
C. Compare the death rate of Alzheimer's between women and men.
D. How to become a good cardiologist.
