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）US president Donald Trump has popularized the phrase “fake news” But not too long ago these words in combination would have meant little to everyday English speakers.
Anatoly Liberman, a German, writes about the origins of the word “fake”. The word, it turns out, has a very dark past. The best guess for how “fake” became mainstream, argues Liberman, is that it was a kind used by thieves in the London underworld. But“how it got there, nobody in the world knows, and probably nobody will ever know,” he tells Quartz.
Liberman is a professor at the University of Minnesota and the author of Word Origins and How We Know Them. He writes that early records of “fake” as an English adjective appeared around the middle of the 18th century. The word likely comes from cant, or thief jargon(行话).
The OED mentions “fake” as a verb starting in 1819, which basically meant‘to do”in jargon, but also“to kill , wound, or rob”. An entry from a dictionary that year reads :
“To fake any person or place, to rob them ;to fake a person may also imply to shoot, wound, or cut; to fake a man out and out, is to kill him.”
Liberman traces the word next to Chares Dickens, who used “cly-faker”，where “cly” means pocket, in Oliver Twist. This is how he believes knowledge of “fake”as a word that means to steal, spread. Eventually it became a commonplace English word.
1、The underlined word “fake” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A．lying
B．true
C．common
D．interesting
2、What can we learn about Anatoly Liberman?
A．He is skilled in some foreign languages.
B．He is interested in all the English words.
C．He lived in England for a long time.
D．He likes writing articles in English very much.
3、What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A．The history of English words.
B．Some stories about English words.
C．The importance of the English word “fake”
D．The origins of an English word.
4、What can we infer from this passage?
A．We must focus on the words of Donald Trump.
B．We should study English words very carefully.
C．“Fake” likely comes from words used by a class of people.
D．Anatoly Liberman likes to trace the commonplace English words.
22．（8分） It’s apparently become a trend in schools around the world to ban students from using the term, “best friends,” according to psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg. The movement, which is believed to have started in Prince George's school in South London, isn't intended to discourage close friendships, but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.
“Let’s face it. You can’t ban somebody from having a close relationship, and you can’t really ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying to do is foster the idea of kids having more than a single friend,” Greenberg said.
The idea is to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different members of his or her peer group. “I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful because they are either nobody’s best friend or their best friend has moved on,” Greenberg says.
Jay Jacobs, who operates Timber Lake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationships at a young age, for exactly that reason. “I think that there are problems in just having one friend,” Jacobs says. “Remember as you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions.” Jacobs adds that teachers at Timber Lake, which changes positions between Glen Cove in winter and Shandake in summer, have made it a point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.
Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions,” so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will be better set up for success later in life if they get used to having a wider friend group at a young age. “It’s about promoting kindness, looking to children to be kind to one another and to be aware of what it looks like when you’re not,” Jacobs says.
1、Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?
A．To make students concentrate on their studies.
B．To encourage students to make more friends.
C．To prevent students from falling in love at a young age.
D．To discourage students from having a close relationship.
2、Why are some kids feeling awful according to Greenberg?
A．Their best friends have moved house.
B．They are banned from making best friends.
C．They are under great pressure from study.
D．Their best friends have started new friendships.
3、What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Mistake. B．Difficulty.
C．Drawback. D．Burden.
4、What would be Jay Jacobs’ attitude to Greenberg’s idea?
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful.
C．Opposed. D．Unconcerned.
23．（8分）Lagoon Bar, Iceland
Blue Lagoon in Iceland is truly the place where you can get rid of all troubles. Here the warmth of hot springs gets you close to nature. A wonderful bar is opened among the hot springs. While you’re sitting in the hot water, waitresses bring you a range of cocktails.
What to order: cocktail “Blue Lagoon” and white wine.
Baobab Tree Bar Wine Cellar, South Africa
In the hollow (洞) of a huge 6,000-year-old baobab tree you can not only drink a cocktail, but also rest from the heat of Limpopo Province. Once this safe heaven was known only to the Bushmen, but now this ancient tree is the tourist destination for all kinds of tourists.
What to order: anything in a glass.
The Birdsville Hotel and Pub, Australia
At the edge of the Simpson Desert, among the sand dunes (沙丘), which are the favorite spot for the mice, there is a hotel and a pub. The walls of this bar are decorated with old hats and posters of beer, the oldest of which dates from 1884. Most visitors of this building are the amateurs of racing. They come to this village for the September competition. However, the pub is not empty also on other months: the airstrip (飞机跑道) is located nearby, so those who get off the plane are going to have a glass or two of beer first.
What to order: a pint of beer.
Floyd’s Pelican Bar, Jamaica
It appears that these huge palm leaves and trunks fell into the ocean long time ago. They floated on the waves and then piled up year by year, sticking out of the ocean. That’s probably how the Pelican Bar, located about a mile from the southwest coast of Jamaica, is built on. Some of its visitors have no room to be fitted inside the bar, and they just drink standing in waist-deep water.
What to order: cocktail “Pelican Perfection”.
1、What can a visitor order in Lagoon Bar?

2、What can we infer about the Birdsville Hotel and Pub?

24．（8分）Last year, my mother brought out an old college-ruled notebook: one of the journals in which she has kept a record of all the dinner parties she has hosted since 1976. I have a similar journal. But I am a writer, and she is a chemist. Mine features descriptions and feelings about the dinners I’ve hosted, while hers reads like laboratory notes — just the meal plan and who was invited.
“Salmon mousse (慕斯),” she announced, reading the first enrty. “My God, I must have made that a hundred times. Do you remember them?” I did not. But I did remember that salmon mousse.
Old friends came and went in her journal. New favorites joined the menu. My husband’s name first shows up in 1997, along with a meal of just hors d’oeuvres because he loved it. My sister-in-law’s name arrived in 2006, and with it, all shellfish disappeared from family menus — she would get sick after eating it. There is my mother’s partner, Ruth, who appeared in 1991, signaling almost five years of vegetarian (素食主义者) dishes before she gave in to my mother’s ham. And there is my father, who, despite being her ex-husband, appeared every year after their divorce.
While my mother has always written in her journal before a dinner party, I write in mine afterward. In my mother’s books, everything is clear. Hers passes from early motherhood through divorce and the deaths of friends without a break. I, on the other hand, have three entire years unaccounted for. I see her journals and am envious: By 45, I should not be winging it at dinner. I should practice with old favorites. I should have a salmon mousse.
And so I am putting this decision into practice at a dinner party for writer friends. The menu is already written in my book. To start, a favorite of mine has already been cured in the fridge: salmon gravlax. And for this I must apologize to my mother: It is as close as I can get. I love you; I do. But I have always hated that salmon mousse.
1、What can we know from Paragraph 3?
A．The writer's husband is a vegetarian.
B．The writer’s sister-in-law is allergic to shellfish.
C．Ruth didn't like the ham made by the writer’s mom.
D．The writer’s father never came back home since his divorce.
2、Which statement may come from the writer’s journal?
A．Salmon gravlax for writer friends.
B．Thanksgiving, friends coming.
C．I am glad lots of writer friends came last night.
D．Tom and Lily are coming as well as Mr. Green tonight.
3、How can we describe the writer’s mother?
A．Considerate and strong-minded. B．Stubborn but organized.
C．Outgoing and generous. D．Warm-hearted but disloyal.
4、Why does the author write this passage?
A．To show her love for her mother. B．To put her decision into practice.
C．To compare two different journals. D．To express her hate for salmon mousse.
25．（10分）The Maltese Islands are rich in Neolithic (新石器时代的) sites. Ggantija in Gozo, Tarxien, and the Hagar Qim/Mnajdra Complex here on Malta’s south coast are perhaps the most well-known. These piles of stones are some of the earliest known manmade structures in the world. They are showing their age a bit but what would you expect for buildings that are five and a half thousand years old. My house was built in the year 2000 and is already in bad condition round the edges. These temples are older than the pyramids!
In my opinion the temples are best seen after the visitors have left. Come with me for a late afternoon walk down the hill past Hagar Qim towards the Mnajdra Complex. There are chain link fences around the temples now but we can ignore those and try to image why Maltas earliest people went to the trouble of building these structures on this windy and poor hillside.
Of course the temples would have looked rather different when they were constructed. They may have been decorated with pigments and possibly even roofed with animal skins or other materials. Who knows? We do know that they were changed and added to over a 1,000 - year period or so.
Getting to Mnajdra and Hagar Qim is easiest if you have a car. Or if you don’t mind a hike, you could get a bus to Qrendi(3 km away) or Zurrieq (5 km away) and walk from there. Warning: although the distances are not too great, walking several kilometers in the Maltese sun can be very hard and possibly dangerous. Take water and sunscreen.
1、What makes the writer wonder about the temples?
A．Their history. B．Their appearance.
C．How they were built. D．When they were built.
2、What are we aware of about the construction of the temples?
A．They have been transformed. B．They look the same as before.
C．They were carefully designed. D．They are not what they used to
