三、阅读（共两节，满分 45 分）
第一节 阅读理解（共 20 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分）
阅读下列短文，从所给的选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It is well known that Burt Bacharach, the famous American musician, wrote a song forty years ago that Dusty Springfield sang in the James Bond film Casino Royale. Now, researchers have concluded that “The Look of Love” is, indeed, all in the eyes: looking directly at someone makes you more attractive（有魅力的）to him/her.
“Here, we show that gaze direction can also be important,” the researchers said. “Faces that were looking directly at the viewer were considered to be more attractive than faces with a turned-away gaze. This shows that people prefer faces that seem to like them and that attraction is not simply about physical beauty,” the researchers said at an important meeting.
26. Why did the writer mention the song written by Burt Bacharach?
A. To tell us how popular the song is now.
B. To prove that a good song lasts forever.
C. To prove that the new finding is true.
D. To lead to the topic of the passage.
27. According to the passage, what did researchers conclude?
A. We can find a lot of things by looking at others.
B. People usually show their love by looking at others.
C. People usually look into other’s eyes to see if they love them.
D. Looking directly at others makes you more attractive to them.
28. Conway and his fellow researchers may NOT have carefully studied the influence of on attractiveness.
A. characters
B. gaze direction
C. facial expressions
D. body language
29. We infer from the last paragraph the researches would probably disagree that .
A. gaze direction can influence attraction
B. people prefer faces that seem to like them
C. physical beauty is only part of attraction
D. a man makes himself more attractive by turning his gaze away
30. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Smiling makes you more attractive
B. Happy faces are more attractive
C. An old song leads to a new finding
D. The look of love really is in your eyes.
B
We do some strange things when we don’t like the way our life is going. Too often we blame（责怪）someone else. “I wish my parents were more understanding.” “I have such a bad chemistry teacher!”
“My friends are so boring and self-centered. They make my life worse and worse.” Blame! Blame! Blame!
It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song, but the truth is, if you don’t like your life, you should do something about it. No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need. No one can read your mind correctly. You are the only one with the power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose how you want to think and act. Other people can’t make you unhappy or angry. They only act in their own way and then it’s up to you to decide how you will respond（回应）. For example, your friends go out to lunch without you and you feel very angry. How are you going to act? You may blame your friends, “They are not kind. Who needs them anyway?” Or you may tell your friends how you feel, listen to their explanation, and let them know you’d like to be invited next time.
When you decide everything in your own way, you’re getting hold of your own life and shaping（塑造）it according to your tastes and feelings. You can choose to be happy, to make friends and to build an interesting life. When you blame others for what is or isn’t happening in your life, you have stopped growing or learning.
One of the most important rule is that you can never change another person by your direct action. The only person you have the right to change is yourself. Once you change, the other person has something different to respond to and change is possible. If you want change in your life, begin with yourself.
31. What should we do if we don’t like our life?
A. Change what we’re doing.
B. Read our minds correctly.
C. Sing that self-pitying song
D. Tell others what we want.
32. If the writer’s friends have dinner together without him, he may .
A. ask somebody else to talk to hem
B. do the same thing to them in return
C. talk to them and try to find out why
D. forget it and be still friendly with them
33. What’s the writer’s idea about how to change others?
A. He thinks it’s impossible to change others.
B. He believes our love can change everything.
C. He chooses to talk with others directly.
D. He prefers to change ourselves first instead.
34. At the beginning of the passage three examples are given .
A. to support the idea that people often blame others
B. to suggest that there are various problems in people’s life
C. to show that not all chemistry teachers are fit for their job
D. to explain the reason why some people’s life is worse and worse
35. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Blame! Blame! Blame!
B. Who Controls My Life?
C. Change makes you happy
D. What Makes Me Unhappy?
C
This is no doubt that music plays a powerful role in our lives. It can calm our tired nerves after a busy day of work. Music even has the power to move us to tears when it stirs（激起）an emotional reaction. How then, does music play a role in special education? If music has the ability to touch those hidden places we all carry inside, it proves an important tool for the special education teacher. For students with emotional problems, music can help soothe（抚慰）sadness. Consider the child that arrives in class depressed and upset. If music can indeed relax and calm him, he is more likely to focus and participate in class.
Dr. R. Joseph, author of Behavioral Neurology, writes, “It is well recorded that patients with left hemisphere（大脑半球）damage, who may be unable to speak or recognize words, can sing a melody（曲调）.” For this reason, some special education teachers have found it helpful to set their lessons to music. When students cannot understand or remember certain things, singing them helps make it easier.
Nature magazine reported “Music training helps underachievers. In Rhode Island, researchers studied eight public school first grade classes. Half of the classes became ‘text-arts’ groups, receiving ongoing music training. After seven months, the students were given a test. The tested group had caught up with their fellow students in reading and surpassed（超过）their classmates in math by 22percent. In the second year of the project, the tested students widened this even further. Students were also tested on attitude and behavior. Classroom teachers also noted improvement in these areas.”
It seems music does, indeed, play an important role in education. For the special education teacher, this is especially encouraging.
36. The first paragraph is mainly about .
A. the role of music in education
B. the importance of music in life
C. the relationship between music and work results
D. the relationship between music and behavior
37. For students with emotional problems, music might be .
A. a toy
B. a punishment
C. a medicine
D. a puzzle
38. According to Dr. R. Joseph, people with left hemisphere damage .
A. are unable to recognize people
B. can produce some musical sounds
C. can become special education teacher
D. might suffer right hemisphere damage too
39. The tested students mentioned in the fifth paragraph .
A. behaved badly after the study
B. didn’t show any difference after the study
C. had done well in their reading and math
D. received certain music education during the study
40. What is the text mainly about?
A. The meaning of special education.
B. The history of music education.
C. The problem in music education.
D. The role of music in special education
D
When Sir Winston Churchill. the great British prime minister, reached his eightieth birthday in November 1954, he was presented with his portrait by a well-known modern artist, Grantham Sutherland. The painting had been ordered and paid by the members of Parliament（国会）, who wanted to honor the Grand Man of World war Ⅱ.
Sir Winston and Lady Churchill were deeply moved by this mark of respect and affection. Neither of them, of course, allowed the donors（捐赠者）to see how much they both disliked the portrait. “It makes me look stupid—which I am not!” Churchill protested in private. Publicly, he only said that it was “a fine example of modern art.” His friends smiled: it was well-known that Sir Winston didn’t care for modern art.
Churchill was so unhappy about the portrait that finally his wife had it destroyed. Churchill died at ninety in January 1965. Lady Churchill followed him in 1977. Shortly after her death, the public learned what had happened to Sutherland’s painting, and a heated argument broke out. The painter was understandably sad. The artistic community, shocked and angry, claimed that the destruction of the picture had been a crime. Historians said that they regretted the disappearance of a historical document. All agreed that Churchill didn’t have the right to do what they had done.
Well--did they? A good part of the public felt that the owner of a portrait had the right to get rid of it if it made him so unhappy. The question, however, has been raised many times before: who has the right to a work of art—the sitter, the owner, the donor or the artist who created it? And when the painting is the portrait of a historical figure, should the right
of posterity（后代）be considered, as the historians claimed?
41. To have Churchill’s portrait painted was the idea of .
A. a well-known modern artist
B. Parliament
C. a friend of Churchill
D. the public
42. Which of the following is true?
A. Churchill liked the portrait but his wife not
B. Churchill didn’t like the portrait because he didn’t like the painter
C. Churchill liked the portrait because it was a fine modern art
D. Churchill didn’t like the portrait and nor did his wife
43. When Churchill said it was “a fine example of modern art”, he was .
A. dishonest
B. joking
C. praising the portrait
D. not been straight
44. When was the destruction of the portrait known to the public?
A. As soon as it happened
B. After Churchill died in 1965
C. Soon after Lady Churchill’s death
D. Not until recently
45. How did people reacted to the news?
A. People of the artistic community were all very sad.
B.The historians felt more strongly against it than the artistic community.
C. All people agreed that Churchill had no right to destroy the picture
D. While some were upset, quite a few people believed the Churchill had the right to destroy it.

The worker I hired to repair my house had just finished a difficult first day on the job. A broken wheel made him an hour late; his ladder fell down when he was painting the roof and now his old truck wouldn’t start.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s my great honor to make a speech here.
I’m a member of Shenzhen Science Club. I’m terribly sorry to hear that Stephen Hawking passed away on March 14, 2018.
Hawking was born in the UK in 1942. Unluckily, he was diagnosed with a disease called ALS at the age of 21. After that, he became disabled. However, Hawking’s humor and confidence inspired millions of people across the world.
Hawking is one of the greatest physicists in history. His theory on Black Holes surprised all the people around the world. He wrote many famous books such as A Brief History of Time.
Stephen Hawking set an example for all of us. We’ve learnt a lot from Hawking such as his strong will and the spirit of scientific exploration.
That’s all! Thanks for your listening!
