第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）

第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 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。

Given Europe’s high concentration of gorgeous big cities and world-class art

museums, it is easy to completely overlook the continent’s abundance of small, quiet

villages and towns. However, if you are after relaxation, peaceful country walks,

beautiful architecture and opportunities for cultural appreciation on your next trip across

the pond, consider cutting down some of your city time and head out to a village

instead. Here are four of the most charming villages in Europe, along with our top picks

for places to stay in each.

Eze in Cota D’Azur, France

Set on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Provencal township of Eze

is easily one of the most picturesque spots in the region. It is largely a tourist

destination, and many of its buildings date back to the Middle Age. In fact, Eze is

particularly popular with couples seeking romantic solitude.

Hotel pick: Chateau de la Chevre

Baden-Baden in Wurttemberg, Germany

Germany’s best-known spa town, Baden-Baden, in the Black Forest of Baden-

Wurttemberg, has been a popular spot for soaking in mineral-rich waters off and on

since the Roman era. And while spa treatments and hot springs are still among the most

popular draws for tourists, there are also plenty of museums, gardens, performing arts

venues and charming old buildings and churches.

Hotel pick: Hotel Belle Epoque

Montepulciano in Tuscany, Italy

Spread over a hilltop nearly 2,000 metres above sea level, the Tuscan village of

Montepulciano offers gorgeous Renaissance architecture as well as opportunities to visit

wine companies. Surrounded by strong walls dating back to the 14th century, the village

features a handful of churches and public squares.

Hotel pick: Etruria Resort

Oia in Santorini, Greece

Oia is undoubtedly the most charming village on the beautiful Greek island of

Santorini. This oft-photographed cliffside town is best known as a sunset-viewing spot,

but it is fantastic any time of day thanks to its abundance of typical whitewashed

structures topped with blue domes plus its fabulous views out onto the Aegean Sea.

Hotel pick: Hotel Aspaki

In my career as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous

children infected with AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids

have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially

learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you

about Tyler.

Tyler was born infected with HIV; his mother was also infected. From the very

beginning of his life, he was dependent on medication to enable him to survive. When

he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein(血管) in his chest. This tube was

connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications

were fastened to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his

bloodstream. At times, he also needed extra oxygen to support his breathing.

Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly

disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing

his medicine backpack. All of us were surprised at his pure joy in being alive and the

energy it gave him. Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast

that she needed to dress him in red. That way, she could quickly spot him.

This terrible disease eventually wore down Tyler. He grew quite ill and,

unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn’t

going to survive, Tyler’s mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling

Tyler that she was dying too, and that he would be with him soon in heaven.

A few days before his death, Tyler signed me over to his hospital bed and

whispered, “I might die soon. I’m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom

promised she’s coming to heaven, too. I’ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to

make sure she can find me.”

24. What does the writer think of his/her work according to Paragraph 1?

A. It’s impressive. B. It’s regretful.

C. It’s funny. D. It’s meaningless.

25. What happened to Tyler when he was five?

A. He was infected with HIV. B. He was operated on.

C. He received a gift. D. He became seriously ill.

26. How did the writer feel when seeing Tyler playing joyfully?

A. Light-hearted. B. Encouraged.

C. Terrified D. Amazed.

27. What can be inferred from the boy’s last words?

A. He was grateful for the writer’s kindness.

B. He felt sorry for his mom’s death.

C. His mother had a deep affection for him.

D. He missed the red dress his mother promised him.

The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers （减速

带）;on major highways and roads, in order to check speeding and careless driving,

and finally make its deadly roads a little safer. “We are trying out 3D paintings used as

virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers,” India’s

transport minister Nitin Gadkari wrote.

The optical illusions(视觉错觉) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down

automatically. Earlier, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from

highways, which are considered to be a safety hazard for high-speed vehicles. India has

the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health

Organization, over 200,000 people are killed by road accidents.

The use of optical illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American

city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The

technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings. In India,

cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra

crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, a mother and her daughter,

both artists, have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of 2016. The artists say

their motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”, and that the concept has been

successfully tested in accident-prone zones on a highway.

However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual

illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India’s decision does not

consider the safety of a large number of pedestrians. In the end, the new policy may be

just one step towards improving road safety.

28. Why are 3D paintings used on main highways and roads?

A. To make the surroundings more beautiful.

B. To attract the attention of tourists.

C. To reduce the rate of traffic accidents.

D. To try out this kind of new painting.

29. The underlined word “hazard” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “__________”.

A. Threat B. Reminder C. Regulation D. Theory

30. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4?

A. The idea tested in Ahmedabad recently has been a failure.

B. The new policy of 3D zebra crossings must be carried out.

C. Philadelphia is the second place to use virtual speed breakers in the US.

D. The use of optical illusions as speed breakers is debatable in India.
