第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分35分）

第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

A

Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit，which most people always ignore. 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 can increase your blood pressure，because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, and crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. Certainly, you won’t feel any immediate effects, but you shouldn’t have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes.

Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. When you sit with your legs crossed, your hips are in a twisted position. Not only does it cause one of your pelvic bones to rotate but also adds pressure on your lower and middle back and neck. So ideally it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor.

Moreover, your feet and legs might get painful or have the feeling of being asleep when you cross your legs for long periods of time. Since the veins and nerves are pressed, it can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. 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 on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run. 21. Which problem won’t sitting with your legs crossed cause?

A. Increased blood pressure B. Neck and back pain C. Numbness D. Curving legs

22. How soon can we benefit from sitting with both of our feet on the floor? A. In less than 15 minutes B. Only in a minute or two C. For quite a long time D. In a month 23. Where is the text likely to be selected from？

A. A fiction B. A piece of newspaper C. A textbook D. A journal of medicine

Smartphone App Helps ALS Sufferers Speak With Their Eyes

Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone.

The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and transform them into letters, words and sentences.

For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.

“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-adjustment and a large number of relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.

“To reduce the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.”

The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.

The sticker shows four grids of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.

Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.

24. The underlined word “robust” in Paragraph 4 probable means_____________.

A. Strong B. Healthy C. Useful D. Fragile 25. What can we infer from the passage？

Ａ. Eye movement is not the only way ALS sufferers can communicate. B. The Gaze Speak app has been widely used.

C. Current eye-tracking input systems have many disadvantages.

D. Microsoft develops this new smartphone app with the aim of making more profit. 26. The main purpose of the passage is to _________. A. introduce a new app

B. let us know what ALS is.

C. show the importance of artificial intelligence.

D. compare current eye-tracking input systems with the Gaze Speak app.

C

On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication severe weather was on its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching.

No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. The house shook violently, the power went out, and even the wind began to roar through the house. We intended to shelter in the closet of the first floor, which seemed like the safest place, but before getting there, we had to get through three flights of steps. I didn’t know how or if we would make it down the steps, as the wind lifted me off my feet. I tried to move forward a bit, but in vain.

As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Pieces of glass flew everywhere. Had we been one step up, a three-foot-long tree branch would have stabbed us.

By the time I reached the closet, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I grasped Jimmy’s arm as the tornado sucked the door open—we never did get it fully shut—and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and head were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.

All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over.

The tornado lasted 4 minutes，but to us, it felt like a life time. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.

27. Why didn’t the couple realize the coming of the tornado?

A. There was so signs. B. They didn’t pay attention to the weather. C. They were too busy to take notice of it. D. We got a wrong alert about it from TV. 28. Facing the disaster, how was the couple’s reaction?

A. Indifferent B. Excited C. Fearful D. Calm 29. Which turned out to be the greatest difficulty for them in escaping from the disaster? Ａ.Their house was too high.

B. It was at night and the power went out.

C. The wind with the tornado was so strong that it lifted them up for several times. D. The couple was too scared to move fast. 30. What can we learn form the passage?

A. The author was so severely injured that she felt no pain.

B. The couple loved each other deeply and the husband put his wife first. C. They missed being stabbed by the long tree branch as they moved fast. D. The author felt regretful for their damaged house. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
