四、阅读理解：共 15 小题；每题 3 分，共 45 分。阅读下列短文，然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选择项中选出最佳的一项。
A
Most Americans believe that someone isn’t grown-up until the age of 26 and they shouldcomplete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financiallyindependent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at aboutthe age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicago’s
National Opinion Research Center.The findings are based on a representative sample (代表性样本) of 1,398 people over the ageof 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions (过度,转变) to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20 self-supporting; age 21 nolonger living with parents; age 22 having a full-time job; age 22.5 education completed; age 24.5being able to support a family financially; age 26 getting married; and age 26.5 having a child.
“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of theseven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differencesis on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults considerthese more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in valuesacross generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reachingadulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment,supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.
36. For most Americans, which of the following is NOT considered when they grow up?

A. Prepare for his wedding.
B. Earn money to support his family.
C. Have a full-time job.
D. Live without his parents.
【参考答案】D

B. Living without parents.
C. Supporting a family.

Happy April Fool’s Day! In celebration of the day, we have put together a list of some of thegreatest hoaxes (恶作剧) in history. They are the lies that have been designed for innocent peoplewho are ready to believe them.
▲INSTANT COLOR TV
In 1962 there was only one TV channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. Thestation’s Kjell Stepson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developedtechnology, all viewers could now quickly and easily transform their existing sets to display colorreception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their TV screen, and they would beginto see their favorite shows in color. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people, were taken in.
Actual color TV transmission only started to appear in Sweden on April 1, 1970.
▲SAN SERRIFFEIn
1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement (增刊) in honor of the tenth anniversary of San Serfiffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean.
A series of articles affectionately asked for more information about the beautiful holiday spot. Fewnoticed that everything about the island was made up.
▲NIXON FOR PRESIDENT
In 1992 American National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation program announced thatRichard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign sloganwas, “I didn’t do anything wrong, and I won’t do it again.” Accompanying this announcementwere audio clips (片段) of Nixon delivering his election speech. Listeners responded immediately
to the announcement, flooding the show with calls expressing shock and anger. Only during thesecond half of the show did the host John Huckleberry reveal that the announcement was apractical joke. Nixon’s voice was copied by comedian Rich Little.

A. In 1992.
B. In 1977.
C. In 1970.
D. In 1962.
【参考答案】C
【解析】事实细节题。根据第三段最后一句可知，实际上彩色电视传输在 1970 年 4 月 1 日才开始在瑞典出现。同时结合第三段第一句，1962 年时，瑞典只有一个电视频道，而且是黑白的。由此可以推断出，1962 年的瑞典并没有彩色电视频道，是电视台在愚人节给观众开的一个玩笑。故选 C。
40. Which of the following is TRUE about the small republic called San Serfiffe?
A. It was located in the Indian Ocean.
B. It never existed.
C. It was a beautiful vacation spot.
D. It was interviewed by the British newspaper.
【参考答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。第五段最后一句可知，很少有人注意到岛上的一切都是虚构的。由此可以推断出，这个名叫 San Serfiffe 的小共和国是虚构的，并非真实存在的。所以，第五段关于它的“真实”描写，如：它位于印度洋、它是一个美丽的度假地点等，都是英国《卫报》在愚人节开的玩笑，不是真实的事情。故选 B。
41. What was the listeners’ attitude to the news that Richard Nixon was running for President
again?
A. Angry and shocked.
B. Happy and excited.
C. Shocked and amused.
D. Bored and tired.
【参考答案】A

42. Where can we most probably read this article?
A. In a diary.
B. In a novel.
C. In a magazine.
D. In an ad.
【参考答案】C
【解析】主旨大意题。本文以愚人节为话题，主要介绍了瑞典的彩色电视、英国《卫报》的小共和国 San Serfiffe、理查德·尼克松再次竞选总统，这三则与愚人节相关的恶作剧。它的体裁不属于日记、小说或者广告，所以这篇文章最有可能出现在杂志上。故选 C。
C
One cold day last November, my wife and I came home from work to a sick young daughterand we decided to stay at home for the night. Problem was, we had two tickets to see Miranda July,the performance artist, being interviewed at the Herbst Theatre. We decided to sell them online for$50. One hour before the event, a guy named Peter called me and said he wanted to buy the tickets.
Since the time was limited, I told Peter to pay me the next day. Peter seemed touched and we saida fond goodbye.However, a month later, Peter still didn’t pay me back. A few more weeks passed. Anothermonth, there’d been one e-mail promising to mail the check, then silence.
Maybe he was having a hard time, I thought. But truth was, Peter seemed to be having apretty normal time. According to the pictures and messages on his Facebook, he had been playinggolf, dancing happily with his friends, and traveling on a boat. But he just refused to answer my calls, or reply to my e-mails or messages. So I tried reaching him with my wife’s phone one night.
And he didn’t pick up when I called, but texted right back, playfully wondering who might becalling him.
“You should go to his office,” my wife said, “he would have to give you the money if all hiscoworkers (同事) were watching.”
But I didn’t want to become a debt collector. My efforts to reach Peter over these months hadbeen light and I wanted to keep it that way. My initial exchange with Peter had been just tworegular people agreeing to handle things humanly. There was a rare niceness in that, and I stillwanted to keep that balloon in the air, however disappointing it was starting to look. I wanted tobelieve we could still trust each other.
43. According to the first paragraph, what reason did my wife and I decide to sell the tickets?
A. We needed $50 for medicine for our daughter.
B. We had to take care of our sick daughter.
C. We were far away from the Herbst Theatre, and our time was limited.
D. We had to leave home for work.
【参考答案】B
【解析】事实细节题。根据第一段第一句可知，在去年 11 月的一个寒冷的日子，“我”和妻子下班回到家，发现女儿生病了，于是我们决定在家里过夜。由此可知，“我”和妻子决定把票卖掉的原因是为了在家照顾生病的女儿。故选 B。
44. What did my wife suggest I do about Peter’s behavior?
A. She suggested that I go straight to Peter’s office.
B. She suggested that I tell all Peter’s coworkers.
C. She suggested that I use her mobile phone to contact Peter.
D. She suggested that I wait and trust Peter.
【参考答案】A
【解析】事实细节题。根据第四段可知，“你应该去他的办公室，”“我”妻子说：“如果他所有的同事都在看，他会把钱给你的。”由此可知，面对皮特消极的“躲债”行为，“我”的妻子建议“我”直接去他的办公室讨要钱。故选 A。
45. What do we learn about Peter from the passage?
A. He is an honest and trustworthy man.
B. He had a habit of forgetting to pay his debts.
C. He was poor and had a hard time.
D. He didn’t pay back the money on purpose.
【参考答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段第三、四、五句可知，皮特不接“我”的电话，也不回“我”的电子邮件和信息。所以，有天晚上“我”试着用“我”妻子的手机联系他。“我”打电话给皮特，他没有接，但是马上就回了短信，开玩笑地想知道谁会给他打电话。由此可以推断出，皮特并非是有忘记还钱的习惯，他不接我的电话、不回我的邮件和信息，是有意逃避“我”的联系，他是故意不还钱的；也可以看出皮特是一个不诚实、不值得被信赖的人。故选 D。
46. Why didn’t I follow my wife’s advice?
A. Because I didn’t want to become a debt collector.
B. Because I agreed with the way Peter handled things.
C. Because I still had weak hopes for Peter.
D. Because I wanted to ask the police for help.
【参考答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段第四、五句可知，这是一种罕见的美好，“我”仍然想让气球在空中，不管它开始看起来多么令人失望。“我”想相信我们还能互相信任。其中，“气球”类比“我”和皮特之间岌岌可危的信任。由此可以推断出，“我”没有采纳妻子的建议是因为即使“我”对皮特很失望，但是“我”仍然不愿意破坏这份美好，仍然对他抱有一丝信任和希望。A 选项不是根本理由；B 选项是干扰项，根据第五段第三句可知，“我”和皮
特最初的交流只是两个普通人同意以人道的方式处理事情。由此可以推断出，“我”并不是认皮特处理问题的方式，“我”只是喜欢我们在交涉最初时对彼此的信任。故选 C。
D
Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’redoing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed canincrease your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work againstgravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases
resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate (循环). This causes your body toincrease your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won’t feel any immediateeffects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So,do you plan to sit for a long period of time? Don’t keep your legs crossed.
“Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg thatpasses just below your knee and along the outside of your leg,” explains Richard Graves, amedical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the
muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.
So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet onthe floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in thelong run.
47. According to the first paragraph, what can we learn about crossing one’s legs?
A. This is a rare habit in life.
B. People do this unconsciously when they sit down.
C. It’s very uncomfortable to sit like this.
D. Most people are aware of the health problems it can bring.
【参考答案】B
【解析】事实细节题。根据第一段可知，跷二郎腿是人们一个非常普遍的习惯，大多数人坐下来的时候甚至都没有注意到自己在做什么。虽然你可能会觉得这样坐着很舒服，但这可能会导致你没有意识到的健康问题。由此可知，人们总是无意识地跷二郎腿，这并非是生活中少见的习惯，而且这样坐很舒服，也很难有人意识到跷二郎腿导致的健康问题。故选 B。
48. What can we learn from the study of Blood Pressure Monitoring?
A. Crossing your legs won’t have any effect.
B. Crossing your legs can cause poor circulation.
C. Crossing your legs can lower your blood pressure.
D. Crossing your legs for long periods of time doesn’t cause health problems.
【参考答案】B
【解析】事实细节题。根据第二段可知，发表在《血压监测》上的一项研究表明，双腿交叉坐着会增加血压。原因是腿部的血液必须克服重力才能被输送到心脏，而将一条腿交叉在另一条腿上会增加阻力，使血液更难循环。这会导致你的身体升高血压，将血液推回心脏。虽然你不会立即感受到任何影响，但血压反复持续升高会导致长期健康问题。由此可知，跷二郎腿会导致血液循环不良。故选 B。
49. What does “pins and needles” probably mean in the third paragraph?
A. Being a strong nervous.
B. Being highly flexible.
C. Serious muscle injuries.
D. Slight sharp pains.
【参考答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知，这种压力会导致你的脚和腿上的一些肌肉麻木和暂时瘫痪，让你很难抬起脚踝——就像我们知道的“针扎”的感觉。由此可以推断出，“pins and needles”是对前面症状的总结词，应该与“肌肉麻木和暂时瘫痪，难以抬起脚踝”的意思相近，是轻微的、时效短的、并不严重的刺痛感和麻痹感。故选 D。
50. Where are we most likely to read this passage?
A. In a newspaper.
B. In a science fiction.
C. In a health magazine.
D. In a travel guide.
【参考答案】C
【解析】主旨大意题。文章以生活中非常普遍的习惯——跷二郎腿为话题展开，并指出跷二郎腿虽然很舒服，但却会给人的身体带来健康问题。同时，又引用发表在《血压监测》上的一项研究表明，以及医学专家 Richard Graves 的话来论证这个观点，即跷二郎腿会对人体的血压和腿部神经带来长期的压力。通读全文可知，本文是一篇具有科普性质的健康文章，目的是为了让读者意识到跷二郎腿的危害，养成一个良好的坐姿习惯。故选 C。

假如你是李华，你的英国笔友 Nancy 正在做一份关于中国移动支付的问卷调查。你是她的重点采访对象，她希望你在回信中的内容包含以下几点：
1.移动支付在生活中的普及情况；
2.移动支付带来的好处；
3.你对移动支付的看法。
参考词：移动支付 mobile pavement；问卷调查 questionnaire；微信 WeChat；支付宝 Alipay；二维码 QR code
注意：词数 100 左右
【参考答案】
Dear Nancy,
I am glad to participate in your questionnaire. Inrecentyears,mobilepaymentis becoming more and more common in China. Most of us use WeChat or Alipay to buy what we need.
Scanning a QR code to pay not only saves time looking for change, but also makes shopping more convenient.
Personally, I think mobile payment should be encouraged.It benefits both consumers and businessmen. We no longer need to save the change what is easy to lose, and merchants don’t have to worry about receiving fake notes. But many older people don’t know how to use smart phones,so mobile payment is inconvenient for them.
I hope my opinion can be of some help to you. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely, Li Hua
