第二部分 阅读理解（共两节, 满分40分）

A

A couple of weeks ago, my dad had a total knee replacement operation on his left knee. Later in his ward, he was laughing as he told the story of hearing the hammer and saw (锯) as they took out the bone. With a smile on his face, he advised the doctors to sharpen the saw, since he could smell the bone burning as they removed it.  He came home and did the exercises the doctors had given him and even when it hurt he managed to make jokes about the new metal knee being heavier, which made it harder to lift, but he did lift, bend and move it anyway.

Yesterday, I went to visit my parents and was told by Mom that he was in the room for keeping his tools. I walked into the room to find him sitting on the bench laughing. I asked what on earth he was doing. He explained that since something went wrong with his walker (助行架) he was changing the legs of it. It seemed that Mom’s walker, which she had used five years ago, was broken on the top, but the legs were in good condition. Those legs wouldn’t fit and he couldn’t get off the one he had changed so he couldn’t get back.

Together, my dad, with the useless knee, and I, with the crippled (残废的) arms and hands, worked and worked laughing all the while. The more trouble we had, the harder we laughed. We did finally get the walker fixed and got back. Tired and feeling the physical pain, we had created a wonderful heart-warming memory. I have been fortunate enough to have many such minutes with my dad.

21. Which of the following can NOT describe the character of the author’s father?

B. the father complained about the pain in doing the exercises.

C. the mother refused to offer help to the father in trouble.

D. the author doesn’t like joking with people.

23. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. My Dad’s Knee B. Laughing with My Dad

C. Being Disabled D. Walker in Need

B

The Chinese television reality show called “Wonderful Friends”, where entertainers hug whale sharks, kiss lions, feed pandas and dress up baby chimpanzees, has come under fire from wildlife protectors who want it to be stopped, saying such activities are cruel and are dangerous for both the humans and animals.

The show is the latest hit from Hunan TV, which has attracted more than 196,000 followers. In each show, popular stars are given zoo-keeping tasks that allow them to interact with wild animals in order to bring humans and animals closer together. Animal welfare advocates say that is exactly what should be avoided. Dave Neale of Animals Asia (an advocacy group) said, “It is hugely misleading to the public about the needs and welfare of captive animals (圈养动物) and putting the animals’ welfare and health at risk.” “What they don’t realize is that wild animals need space,” said Xie Yan, a zoologist and China director of the Wildlife Conservation Society. “Putting clothes on chimpanzees is not as adorable as you may think from the animals’ point of view. I guess their idea was to get their viewers to love and protect the animals,” Ms. Xie added, “but we do not agree with this approach for entertainment.” Using famous people to focus public attention on wildlife is a common practice in conservation campaigns. The Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming went to Africa and highlighted the problem of elephant and rhinoceros poaching (偷猎) in the documentary “The End of the Wild”. “But differently, he, as a human observer, kept his distance and was there to see the hard truth of poaching, and that is different from a show created to attract viewers.” Ms Xie said. Critics also argue that the show violates (违反) Chinese wildlife protection laws.

24. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Many people like the show because of its dangerous activities.

B. Xie Yan is against persuading the public to love and protect animals.

C. The reality show makes no difference to wildlife at all.

D. Some think the show is against wildlife protection laws of China.

25. According to Ms Xie, “Wonderful Friends” is basically different from “The End of the Wild”, because ______.

A. they both invite different popular stars to show up

B. they shoot different numbers and kinds of species

C. their filming locations are different

D. their purposes and ways to approach animals are different

26. What’s the author’s attitude towards “Wonderful Friends”?

A. Worried. B. Disappointed. C. Uninterested. D. Not mentioned.

27. The passage would most likely be found ______.

A. on a notice board B. in a newspaper

C. in a fashion magazine D. in an ad of wildlife protection

C

A new genre (流派) of fiction has come out of rising sea levels. Climate fiction, or “cli-fi”, is a sub-genre of science fiction. It imagines a future where man struggles against the extremes of a changing environment. Although it is still an unexplored field in the Chinese literary circle, climate change literature is now a regular course in universities in the US, the UK and India, etc. A brief amazon.com search of “climate fiction” returns more than 1,800 results, reflecting a growing demand for books that focus on environmental issues. According to The Atlantic, cli-fi stories seldom talk about “unreal technologies or faraway planets”, unlike traditional sci-fi. Cli-fi is a lot more down to earth. It examines the effects of pollution, rising sea levels, and global warming on human civilization.

Cli-fi has been made more attractive to younger generations thanks to its appearance in movies and TV shows, Interstellar, Snowpiercer, MaddAddam, just to name a few. The term “cli-fi”, created by US writer and climate activist Dan Bloom, seems to be helping “raise the awareness of global warming”. UK cli-fi writer Sarah Holding wrote that the genre “connects young readers with their environment”. But not everyone is convinced of cli-fi’s potential. George Marshall, founder of Climate Outreach Information Network, expressed concern that cli-fi would strengthen what people already believe rather than change anyone’s mind. “The unconvinced will see these stories as proof that this issue is a fiction,” he said. “The already convinced will be still concerned, but the story lines may reduce the seriousness of the issue.”

28. What can be implied according to Paragraph 2?

A. Chinese writers are not concerned with the issue of climate change.

B. Cli-fi has gained great popularity so far.

C. The course on climate change literature is the most welcome in universities.

D. Amazon.com
