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）An environment full of interesting or exciting ideas is important for young children, and much of a child’s brain develops during the earliest part of life. The visual system, in particular, develops rapidly over the first few weeks. As early as nine minutes after birth, babies prefer to look at photographs and pictures that most resemble the human face. Newborns can see color, and a one-month-old can tell red from green. At 12 weeks old, babies show preferences for colored things as opposed to white ones.
In addition to looking at themselves, babies are attracted to high contrast visuals, colorful objects, and faces. The same holds true for babies, who also are drawn to looking at animals, shiny objects, and familiar items that are part of their world.
It’s no surprise, then, that an art museum is a rich source of visual inspiration for babies. Introducing babies to works of art promotes early neuron（神经元）connections in the brain. And for the verbal study, interacting with an adult in naming images and describing different characteristics in a work of art lays the groundwork for visual and language development.

22．（8分） Many youths want to lean how to drive cars. This year one sixth of undergraduates in Beijing have registered at driving school. The students, mostly from majors such as business management or imitational trade, will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so.
Training costs have dropped to 4, 500 yuan for students, according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing. The price is not really low, but students will accept it, seeing it as an investment (投资) in their future. Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job. But a driver s permit has become another factor (因素).
“In the job market, owning a driver’s permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student’s competitiveness for a good position,” says Li Hua, an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and law.
Cars will become a necessary part of many people’s lives in the coming years, and it is difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people’s time. “Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive. We senior students have plenty of spare time, plenty of oppurtunity to learn,” says another undergraduate at the university.
Wu Dong, an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious, and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took four hours to learn. In this driving school, middle-aged people, young women and college students are the main customers.
From March 1, 2018, to get a driver’s permit, a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours’ practice before the final road test.
1、Why do the undergraduates learn to drive?
A．They are the students from special subject or course.
B．They like to drive cars very much.
C．They want y become full time drivers after graduation.
D．They need this skill to find a good job in the future.
2、What is Wu Dong’s opinion of students learning to drive?
A．It would make the life more interesting.
B．Youths would have an advantage in learning to drive.
C．It is a waste of money and time to learn to drive.
D．It would be better to learn it at college than at work.
3、To get the permit, the student ________.
A．requires some time to practice before the final road test
B．must pay more money before the final road test
C．must practice more to learn to drive when having a job
D．requires to learn some more other subjects to drive
23．（8分）Tipping isn’t a big part of British culture, unlike in North America, where waiters and waitresses are paid below minimum wage. Tips are usually appreciated, but offering a tip of some services can cause confusion.
In casual restaurants, where you pay for your order at a counter but food is brought to your table, tipping is uncommon. You are welcome to leave a pound or two if you wish. In restaurants where you place your order with a waiter or a waitress and receive your food and bill at your table, it’s customary to tip around 10 percent. In some restaurants, a service charge may be added to the bill automatically, typically 10 or 12.5 percent. In this case, you don’t need to add a further tip. When you pay by credit card, the machine may ask if you want to add a tip. Check your bill to see if a service charge has already been added before paying—if so you don’t need to add a tip on the machine. You can request the service charge be removed from your bill if you are unhappy with the service. In some cases a restaurant may print “service not included” on the bill or menu. This is a request for a tip. You’re not forced to offer anything, but 10 percent would be normal in this situation. Tipping in cafes and fast food restaurant is not expected.
If you use a taxi, round the fare up to the nearest pound shown on the meter. On a journey from or to the airport in a booked minicab you might wish to trip 2 or 3 pounds if the driver helps with your bags.
Be sure to check a country’s tipping culture before you start your tip. For more information, visit TripA.

A．58.4 pounds B．59 pounds
C．61 pounds D．64 pounds
4、What is the best title for the text?
A．Introduction of TripA B．Occasions for Tipping
C．Advice on Tipping in Restaurants D．British Ways to Tipping
24．（8分） For centuries, medical pioneers have refined a variety of methods and medicines to treat sickness, injury, and disability, enabling people to live longer and healthier lives.
“A salamander (a small lizard-like animal) can grow back its leg. Why can't a human do the same?” asked Peruvian-born surgeon Dr. Anthony Atala in a recent interview. The question, a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers, captures the inventive spirit of regenerative medicine. This innovative field seeks to provide patients with replacement body parts.
These parts are not made of steel; they are the real things --- living cells, tissue, and even organs.
Regenerative medicine is still mostly experimental, with clinical applications limited to procedures such as growing sheets of skin on burns and wounds. One of its most significant advances took place in 1999，when a research group at North Carolina’s Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine conducted a successful organ replacement with a laboratory-grown bladder. Since then, the team, led by Dr. Atala, has continued to generate a variety of other tissues and organs—from kidneys to ears.
The field of regenerative medicine builds on work conducted in the early twentieth century with the first successful transplants of donated human soft tissue and bone. However, donor organs are not always the best option. First of all, they are in short supply, and many people die while waiting for an available organ; in the United States alone, more than 100,000 people are waiting for organ transplants. Secondly, a patient’s body may ultimately reject the transplanted donor organ. An advantage of regenerative medicine is that the tissues are grown from a patient’s own cells and will not be rejected by the body’s immune system.
Today, several labs are working to create bioartificial body parts. Scientists at Columbia and Yale Universities have grown a jawbone and a lung. At the University of Minnesota, Doris Taylor has created a beating bioartificial rat heart. Dr. Atala’s medical team has reported long-term success with bioengineered bladders implanted into young patients with spina bifida (a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord). And at the University of Michigan, H. David Humes has created an artificial kidney.
So far, the kidney procedure has only been used successfully with sheep, but there is hope that one day similar kidney will be implantable in a human patient. The continuing research of scientists such as these may eventually make donor organs unnecessary and, as a result, significantly increase individuals’ chances of survival.
1、In the latest field of regenerative medicine, what are replacement parts made of?
A．Donated cells, tissues and organs. B．Rejected cells, tissues and organs.
C．Cells, tissues and organs of one’s own. D．Cells, tissues and organs made of steel.
2、What have scientists experimented successfully on for a bioartificial kidney?
A．Patients B．Rats
C．Sheep D．Soldiers
3、Why is generative medicine considered innovative?
A．It will provide patients with replacement soft tissues.
B．It will strengthen the human body’s immune system.
C．It will shorten the time patients waiting for a donated organ.
D．It will make patients live longer with bioartificial organs.
4、What is the writer’s attitude towards regenerative medicine？
A．Positive. B．Negative.
C．Doubtful. D．Reserved.
25．（10分） A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.
The cost of producing a new—for example—toothpaste would make 80 p the proper price for it, so we will market it at £ 1. 20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades, so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to £ l. 15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5 p OFF all over it.
Sometimes it is not 5 p OFF but l p OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to advertise l p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult（侮辱）, but he doesn’t. A bargain must not be missed. People say one has to have washing powder（or whatever）and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper.
The real danger starts when unnecessary things become “bargains”
