第三部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

Even if you’re not among the 95% of millennials (千禧一代) that take selfies (自拍), you know that selfie is the ruling king of amateur photography. According to a wave of recent reporting, the prevalence (盛行) of selfies is unbelievable: the average millennial will take 25,700 in their lifetime; it is claimed that females aged 16 to 25 spend five hours taking selfies per week, and on average, 93 million selfies are taken worldwide each day.

But perhaps the most shocking statistic involves a far smaller number: 49. That’s the number of people that have died taking a selfie since just 2014.

People dying while attempting to snap the perfect photo of themselves isn’t new or breaking news, of course. Statistics have figured out that there were more deaths by selfie than deaths by shark attack in the year 2015.

Digital Trends found that 30 percent of all photos 18-to-24-year-olds take are selfies. And while women generally take more selfies than men—61.6 percent of selfies taken in New York City featured a woman, men tend to be much rasher.

Despite the selfie prevalence among United States’ celebrities (名人), exhibited by everyone from Ellen GeGeneres to Kim Kardashian, the country is far from the worst for taking selfies. Nineteen, or 40 percent of the deaths since 2014 happened in India. Seven happened in Russia, and five in the US.

The ease of photography and the dopamine (多巴胺) producing satisfaction of social media stars aren’t entirely to blame, though. None of the deaths were caused by the photograph itself, but happened because the person wasn’t paying attention to the dangers around them. Regardless, maybe it’s high time to let the selfie trend finally die.

51. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Females aged 16 to 25 spend five hours taking selfies per day.

B. The number of people that have died taking a selfie since 2014 is 49.

C. There were more deaths by selfie than deaths by shark attack in 2014.

D. 40% of the deaths by selfie since 2014 happened in Russia.

52. What results in death by selfie directly?

A. the ease of photography

B. the dopamine producing satisfaction

C. the photograph itself

D. Photographer’s not paying attention to the dangers around

53. The passage mentions selfies exhibited by Ellen GeGeneres and Kim Kardashian in order

to___________.

A. show that it’s high time to let the selfie trend finally die

B. show the prevalence of selfies among United States’ celebrities

C. show that none of the deaths were caused by the photograph itself

D. explain the US is far from the worst for taking selfies

54. What’s the author’s attitude towards the selfie trend?

A. Negative

B. Positive

C. Neutral

D. Grateful

B

Russia, Morocco and Tunisia have gained popularity among Chinese mainland tourists during this year’s National Day holiday due to favorable currency rates and relaxed visa policies while Taiwan suffered a dramatic decrease in the number of mainland holidaymakers.

The China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) said it recorded 593 million tourism-related visits and revenue reached 482.2 billion yuan ($ 72.31 billion), 14.4 percent increase over the same period last year. This exceeded its forecast of 478.1 billion yuan and 589 million visits.

Among overseas travel destinations, visits to Russia rose by over 103 percent —the third most popular overseas destination for Chinese tourists behind South Korea and Japan.

A former CNTA official surnamed Yang told the Global Times that ―Russia is China's neighbor, so many tourists from northern China can easily go to Russia by train, plus the ruble's depreciation and healthy Sino-Russian ties make Russia an ideal tourist des tination for Chinese.‖Countries like Morocco, Tunisia and Tonga also enjoyed a spike in tourists from China after they lifted their visa requirements on China residents, enjoying an increase of anywhere from

300-600 percent, CNTA said.

Tian Fei, an employee of Ctrip, a Chinese travel agency, told China Radio International that the reasons why more Chinese are choosing to travel overseas include a favorable exchange rate, preferential visa policies and an increase in the number of flight routes.

However, Taiwan has been suffering. Taiwan only received 7,915 visitors from the mainland, a drop of 69.29 percent compared to 2015, CNTA said.

The "Golden Week" tourism was also affected by the Belt and Road initiative. Many Chinese provinces along the ancient Silk Road, such as Gansu Province, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous regions, saw a marked increase in tourists and revenue, CNTA said.

55. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word ―spike‖ in Paragraph 5?

A. sharp rise

B. sharp decrease

C. a sharp-pointed metal

D. a long metal nail

56. According to the passage, which of the following is not the reason why more Chinese are

choosing to travel overseas?

A. favorable exchange rates

B. relaxed visa policies

C. improved living standards

D. increased flight routes

57. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. There were not more than 25,000 visitors from the mainland to Taiwan in 2015

B. Many Chinese provinces along the ancient Silk Road benefited a lot during this year’s

Golden Week.

C. In 2016, the most popular overseas destination for Chinese Golden Week holidaymakers is

South Korea.

D. Russia, Morocco, Tunisia and Tonga have all gained popularity this year among Chinese

Golden Week holidaymakers.

C

Turning the lights off or wearing a blindfold (眼罩) while eating could be a quick way to lose weight, according to scientists. The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories. It also triggers (触发) a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may have gone bad without visual clues to show it is fresh.

An experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany, found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see. They also greatly overestimated (高估) how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate. Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had.

Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full.

In the experiment, 50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food. All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment. They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes. Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice cream was weighed, while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten.

On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g. However, the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers. They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated the dessert lower than those who could see.

The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group. Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite. Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience.

Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste. While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark claim that it triggers other senses, in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.

58. We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded group___________.

A. spent a much longer time eating the same food

B. believed they ate more than they really did

C. depended on past experiences to feel full

D. thought the food tasted better than usual

59. According to the last two paragraphs, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Diners are likely to lose their appetite when eating in darkness.

B. Senses rather than sight play an important role in the taste.

C. Findings from this experiment are contrary to those from the previous studies.

D. Restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark.

60.The experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany was made to ___________.

A. change eating habits

B. test the effect of sight on eating experience

C. trigger other senses

D. increase the amount of food eaten by diners

61.Why could turning lights off or wearing a blindfold while eating be a quick way to lose

weight?

A. Because eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.

B. Because the visual impact of food plays a large part in the taste.

C. Because diners could not see how much was left on the plate.

D. Because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories.

In a certain store where they sell puddings, a number of these delicious things are laid out in a row during the Christmas season. Here you may select the one which is most to your taste, and you are even allowed to sample them before coming to a decision.

I have often wondered whether some people, who had no intention of making a purchase, would take advantage of this free tasting. One day I asked a shop girl this question, and I learned it was indeed the case.―Now there’s one old gentleman, for instance,‖ she told me, ―he comes here almost every week and samples each one of the puddings, though he never buys anything, and I suspect he never will. I remember him from last year and the year before that, too. Well, let him come if he wants it, and welcome to it. And what’s more, I hope there are a lot more stores where he can go and get his share. He looks as if he needed it all right, and I suppose they can afford it.‖

She was still speaking when an elderly gentleman limped up to the counter and began looking closely at the row of puddings with great interest. ―Why, that’s the very gentleman I’ve been telling you about,‖ whispered the shop girl. ―Just watch him now.‖ And then turning to him: ―Would you like to sample them, sir? Here’s a spoon for you to use.‖ The elderly gentleman, who was poorly but neatly dressed, accepted the spoon and began eagerly to sample one after another of the puddings, only breaking off occasionally to wipe his red eyes with a large torn handkerchief. ―This is quite good‖. ―This is not bad either, but a little too heavy‖. All the time it was quite evident that he sincerely believed that he might eventually buy one of these puddings, and I am positive that he did not for a moment feel that he was in any way cheating the store. Poor old guy! Probably he had come down in the world and this sampling was all that was left for him from the time when he could afford to come and select his favorite pudding.

Amidst the crowd of happy, prosperous looking Christmas shoppers, the little black figure of the old man seemed pitiful and out of place, and in a burst of benevolence, I went up to him and said:

―Pardo n me, sir, will you do me a favor? Let me purchase you one of these puddings. It would give me such pleasure.‖

He jumped back as if he had been stung, and the blood rushed into his wrinkled face.

―Excuse me,‖ he said, with more dignity than I would have th ought possible considering his appearance, ―I do not believ e I have the pleasure of knowing you. Undoubtedly you have mistaken me for someone else.‖ And with a quick decision he turned to the shop girl and said in a loud voice, ―Kindly pack me up this one here. I will take it with me.‖ He pointed at one of the largest and most expensive of the puddings.

The girl took down the pudding from its stand and started to make a parcel of it, while he pulled out a worn little black pocketbook and began counting out shillings and pennies on to the counter. To save his ―honor‖, he had been forced into a purchase which he could not possibly afford. How I longed for the power to unsay my tactless words! It was too late though, and I felt that the kindest thing I could do now would be walk away.

―You pay at the desk,‖ the shop girl was telling him, but he did not seem to understand and kept trying to put the coins into her hand. And that was the last I saw or heard of the old man. Now he can never go there to sample puddings any more.

62. By saying it was indeed the case, the author meant that ___________.

A. many shoppers would sample pudding before buying them

B. some people just sampled pudding but didn’t buy them

C. the Christmas season was the time to promote pudding sales

D. there were various kinds of puddings on sale during the Christmas sale

63. From the girl’s words, we know that she ___________.

A. felt pity for the old man

B. looked down upon the old man

C. thought poorly of sampling pudding

D. worked in the shop for a few months

64. Why did the author feel that he should walk away according to the passage?

A. He had something urgent to do.

B. He was quite angry with the old man.

C. He decided to pay the money for the pudding.

D. He found himself in a rather awkward situation.

65. What does the passage imply?

A. Helping others involves respect.

B. Never judge a book by its cover.

C. A man can do no more than he can.

D. A word spoken cannot be recalled.

Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV programs and in movies. The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can learn in an easy way. Thus it is necessary for you to learn the secrets of becoming straight-A students.

Among the students we have interviewed, study times are a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when it is quiet ,whereas others awake early. And there are still others who decide to study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All of them agree, however, on the need for study time. ―Whatever I was doing, I would find some time every day for studying,‖ says a top student from New Jersey.

Being organized is another habit they share in common. McCray, an outstanding student interviewed, runs track, plays football and is in a band. ―I was so busy; I couldn’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it,‖ he says. Some students maintain two folders —one for the day’s assignment, the other for papers completed and graded. However, some students have another system, filing the day’s papers in color-coded folders by subject.

The top students also take good notes while reading the text assignment. In fact, David Cirri, another top student interviewed, uses ―my homemade‖ system in which he draws a line down the center of a notebook, writes notes from the text on one side and those from the lecture delivered by his teacher on the other. Then, he is able to review both aspects of the assignment at once.

Just before the bell rings, most students close their books, put away papers, whisper to friends and get ready to rush out. But the top students use the few minutes to write a two-or- three-sentence summary of the lesson’s important points, which he or she scans before the next day’s class.

You can become a straight-A student by following the above secrets.

Planning Is Good, But Doing Is Better

Planning is good as it decides in detail how we do. However, a plan can bear no fruit without being actually carried out.

My experience in the English speech contest last October is a case in point. A month before the event, I spent hours working out a schedule outlining my goals and practical steps. After that, I set out to read widely for an inspiring topic, wrote a speech, and practiced its delivery in beautiful pronunciation with good public speech skills. I finally came out of the contest as the first prize winner.

I know how I achieved my success. It came from good planning and better doing combined.
