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） Summertime has always been my absolute favorite time of the year. When I was in school，I just lived for the long summer holidays when I could play with my friends and my sister all day at our ease. Everyone has different associations with summer. For some，they think of the smell of freshly cut grass，for some it's lying on a beach reading a book and for others it might be the taste of lemonade or ice cream. I am so happy to be spending this summer with my family and childhood friends here in the Highlands of Scotland after a year away in France.
One of my favorite things to do in summer is go to see the Highlands. These events happen all across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland over the summer and are a great chance for friends and families to get together and support the local community. A Highland Games event is a big gathering with food stalls（货摊），fair games for children and sports competitions. Many of the sports are very specific to Scottish tradition such as "caber toss". This is a competition in which the competitors attempt to lift a full-length tree log and throw it into the air. The oldest Highland Games of Scotland are now an iconic（象征性的）part of the Scottish summer.
Summer just would not be complete for me without my favorite fruit-strawberries. Here in the Highlands，strawberries are grown as one of the best-sellers over the summer months and one thing I love to do on a warm summer afternoon is to pick some strawberries to eat with cream at the end of the day. If you come here，I think you will fall in love with them.
1、Why did the author treasure summertime as a child?
A．It was a long hot holiday for him.
B．He could see his brother every day.
C．He was able to feel quite relaxed.
D．It was the best time to live a life.
2、What can we learn according to the first paragraph?
A．The author was born and raised in France.
B．The author spent one year out of his country.
C．The author moved to Scotland with his family.
D．The author devoted much time to reading books.
3、What will you see at a Highland Games event?
A．People giving a hand to those in need.
B．Kinds of delicious food and happy children.
C．A cultural display of Scottish tradition.
D．Some extreme sports competitions.
4、Why does the author refer to strawberries?
A．To show he only takes interest in this fruit.
B．To prove the Highlands is best for summer.
C．To attract readers to buy strawberries.
D．To suggest strawberries are the best fruit.
22．（8分）Ever happened to have a stranger looking at you with eyes full of anger out of the blue?
It was painful and confusing, but sure a great lesson. First thing that passed through my mind was that it must be a misunderstanding, such a look was not meant for me, but later I saw the old lady’s face changing every time she saw me, at least seven times, no more doubt that she was very angry with me.
I was confused, shocked, and near anger, my brains were spinning, trying to figure out how’s and why’s but somehow managed to not show it on my face. Went home, slept a night over it and decided that I have to find a way to make peace with this lady.
The very next day I bought some nice chocolate praying to see her again and when I caught sight of her, went straight to her and apologized telling her “I am so very sorry if I angered you, I had no such intention, please accept my apologizes”, and handled her the chocolate. Surprised, she told me not to mind her, and apologized too. It was an awkward moment, but we made peace and the embarrassment is replaced by smiles now.
I am very grateful for this experience, it shows me I still have plenty of work to do with my mind, I learned how it is not easy to take knowledge of, accept and forgive acts that we may feel as unfair, and it taught me of possibilities about fixing a conflict. Best advice to keep for myself?
Do not react, do not be quick to judge, sleep it over, and throw in a pinch of empathy for self as well as others.

B．The author was rude to her before.
C．She didn’t want to see the author.
D．They had a quarrel with each other before.
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．An unforgettable experience. B．Fixing a conflict.
C．Smiling can make a difference. D．Making peace.
23．（8分）Today we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months. Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!
But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.
Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.
There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “That’s amazing! After all, he’s no spring chicken.”
But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Let’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, she’s no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.
1、What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?
A．The season after winter.
B．Being young and healthy.
C．A tightly wound metal coil.
D．To occur or appear quickly.
2、What is the passage mainly about?
A．The origin of the word “spring”
B．The meaning of the season “spring”.
C．Some expressions with the word “spring”.
D．Some characteristics of the season “spring”.
3、How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”？
A．Angry B．Surprised
C．Happy D．Frightened
4、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Being young is a great advantage in career development.
B．Women may feel offended when described as “no spring chicken”.
C．Using “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.
D．Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.
24．（8分） One day your pocket might power your smartphone． Soon you may never have to worry about your smartphone running out of juice． Your clothing will simply power it back up for you． That's the word from scientists at China's Chongqing and Jinan Universities in a study just published in the journal ACS Nano．
Researchers have been hard at work during the last few years trying to create wearable energy， or clothes that can charge things． The assumption is simple． People today rely heavily upon devices such as smartphones and tablets． And they're looking for ways to recharge these devices on the go． So if you could design clothing fabric that could make use of solar power -one of the most widely available and inexhaustible renewable energy sources - you'd be able to charge your various devices with ease．
Scientists have had some past success creating energy-harvesting fibers． But there was always one problem when they tried to fashion these threads into self-powered smart clothes： The fibers they designed got damaged during the clothing manufacturing process， namely during the weaving and cutting． The Chongqing and Jinan University scientists say they've solved this problem because the energy-collecting and energy-storing threads they created are highly flexible - each individual thread is easily bendable， and not simply the fabric as a whole．
The team's sample textile can be fully charged to 1.2 volts in 17 seconds by exposure to sunlight - enough voltage that your future smart T-shirt or smart dress might be able to power small electronics． It's durable， too； their research showed there was no descent in the fabric after 60 days． But don't worry that this means the fabric is similar to rough cloth． The scientists note their textile can be fashioned into numerous different patterns， and tailored into any designed shape， without affecting performance．
1、What does the underlined phrase "running out of juice" in Paragraph 1 mean？ ______
A．Being lacking in energy． B．Wanting to have some juice．
C．Being picked out of a drink． D．Having some water running out．
2、Why could smart dress charge a phone？ ______
A．A solar cell is attached to the dress．
B．The fabric of the textile contains current．
C．The fabric of the textile is easily bendable．
D．The fabric of the textile could collect and store the solar energy．
3、What is the scientists' attitude towards the scientific technology？ ______
A．Optimistic． B．Pessimistic．
C．Neutral． D．Doubtful．
4、This passage is written to ______ ．
A．persuade readers to buy new clothes
B．inform readers of the ways to use their devices
C．introduce new wearable energy to readers
D．remind readers to wear smart clothes
25．（10分）Mandy Harvey is a 29-year-old singer from the American state of Florida. She suffers from connective tissue disorder. She lost most of her ability to hear when she was 18. As a child and during her teenage years, Harvey was a singer. But she stopped singing for a time after she went deaf.
But she decided to start singing again after she learned how to feel a song’s beat through the wooden floor of a stage or theater. She uses visual aids to make sure her musical instruments are tuned correctly and she is singing in the correct pitch (音高).
Harvey is now a professional singer. But until Tuesday night, not many people in the United States had heard of her. Of course that changed when she appeared on the television show “America’s Got Talent.” The show has four judges who watch people perform and decide if they should continue in the competition.
Mandy Harvey appeared on stage with a small instrument: a ukulele. A sign language interpreter stood next to the judges. One of the judges, Simon Cowell, asked Harvey about the condition that caused her to go deaf. Then she got ready to perform. She sang a piece she wrote, called “Try.” Harvey said: “After I lost my hearing, I gave up. But I want to do more with my life than just give up.” Cowell said: “Good for you,” and clapped his hands loudly.
As she was singing，one camera cut away to capture images of people in the theater. Many were seen crying. At one point, everyone stood up and cheered. By Wednesday afternoon, a video of Harvey’s performance had been played 46 million times.
Shortly after she finished singing, Cowell smiled, and said “Mandy, I don’t thin
