32、happy in Connecticut finding the winter bitter cold and the culture provincial（偏狭的）. Though she grew up in New Jersey, she moved to San Francisco in her early twenties, met and married my dad out there. After I was born, they decided to return east, closer to their own parents. But she never let go

33、of her love for the Bay Area. California was always part of the conversation when I was a kid. I ate meals off a map-of-the-world placemat（餐垫）, and Mom taught me to identify San Francisco before I learned where Hartford was. She told us stories of perfection on a single city, fantasizing about retir

34、ing out west. My dad would play along, but his heart wasnt in the same place. While my mothers status in the nonprofit world advanced, her desire to move back to her favorite place grew strong. She applied for jobs in the Bay, underwent bicoastal Skype screenings, even traveled out for a couple of i

35、nterviews on a whim（心血来潮）. Sometimes her cover letters disappeared, other times she made it down to the final two candidates. With each rejection, she promised to make her next job application even stronger. This past May, I relocated from San Francisco to New York for a job. A few weeks later, Mom

36、called me. Her pursuit had finally paid off. Shes been offered a vice president position at a public health nonprofit in Oakland. A few weeks later, she packed up her baggage and left Connecticut for good. Our lives are more semblable than ever these days. Were both discovering our new homes, making

37、 friends. Were looking for a good yoga studio to join, reading the same books and chatting about the plots by text message. I emailed her photos from my trip to Burning Man and she replied with stories about her new coworkers who go every year. Theres even time for the occasional dating disaster. Pe

38、rhaps thats the paradox（悖论）of growing older. Things will always change, and they can change immediately-my mother is proof. But an individuals own power to create change always stays the same. Everything can change, and therefore nothing ever really changes. Now when Im out west for a visit, Mom mee

39、ts me at a station with her big bag. We stop by the Grand Lake farmers market, picking out the freshest seasonal ingredients, before hiking up the hill to her new apartment. One of these days, Ill actually cook her dinner. 41. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. The author spent her childhood in C

40、alifornia. B. The authors father didnt want to live in California. C. The authors mother liked to use plates with map designs. D. The authors family preferred listening to stories of the west. 42.

42、he author and her mother is good. B. Everyone has the power to make a difference to his family. C. Culture and living conditions have influence on ones life style. D.

43、. her familys life changes all the time because of her motherB. the mother-daughter feelings will stay the same foreverC. she has grown up during her familys constant movesD. her mother always wants to change her current situationsCThe curb cut（下斜路缘）. Its a convenience that most of us rarely, if eve

44、r, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder-in more ways than one. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car-all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut. But it was created with a different

45、 purpose in mind. Its hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop-off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps（斜坡）to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights

46、 leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest”. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently. I think about the “curb cut effe

47、ct” a lot when working on issues around health equity （公平）. The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity as “a zero-sum game（零和游戏）”and that its commonly bel

48、ieved there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another. ” W/hat the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone win

49、s. ”There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living-wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with oppor

50、tunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society-and that benefits everyone. Even the football huddle（密 商）was initially created to help deaf football players at Gallaudet College keep their game plans secret from opponents who could have read their sign language. To

51、day, its used by every team to prevent the opponent from learning about game-winning strategies. So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk-think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of

52、exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us. 46. What was the curb cut designed for at first?A. Riding a skateboard onto a sidewalk quickly. B. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curbs independently. C. Making it easy for wheelchairs to move up an

53、d down curbs. D. Taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to a customers car. 47. By “might as well have been Mount Everest” （paragraph 3）, the disability rights leader implies that a six-inch curb may becomeA. an unforgettable symbolB. an impassable barrierC. an important signD. an impressive l

54、andmark 48. According to Angela Blackwell, many people believe that _.A. its not worthwhile to promote health equityB. its necessary to go all out to help the disabledC. its impossible to have everyone treated equallyD. its fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others49. Which of the followi

55、ng examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect principle?A. Spaceflight designs are applied to life on earth. B. Four great inventions of China spread to the west. C. Christopher Columbus discovered the new world. D. Classic literature got translated into many languages. 50. What conclusion can b

56、e drawn from the passage?A. Caring for disadvantaged groups may finally benefit all. B. Action empowers those with opportunities for better solutions. C. Society should create circumstances that get everyone involved. D. Everyday items are originally invented for people in need of help. DThe thing a

57、bout space is that its huge-terrifyingly, impossibly huge. It took three days for the Apollo missions to get to the moon1. It takes between five months and a year to get to Mars and around five years to get to Jupiter. The nearest star outside the Solar System is Proxima Centauri, which would take t

58、he Voyager spacecraft 80, 000 years to get to. Were not really built for space travel. We dont live very long, relatively speaking. Our muscles and skeleton need gravity. We need oxygen, warmth, water and food, but space doesnt have any of these. Were also not good with high doses（剂量）of radiation. I

59、n other words, space exploration is an incredibly dangerous venture. When I was a kid, exploring space was a big deal. The first space mission I remember was Viking II, which landed on Mars. Honestly, I was expecting it to find alien life. Not intelligent life, maybe, but life. Back then I knew with

60、 absolute certainty that we were not alone in the universe. It was only a matter of time before wed pick up radio signals from an alien civilization. I figured that one day in the not-too-distant future, those aliens would land, and wed finally get to know our intergalactic（星系间的）neighbors. When the

61、Space Shuttle program was first announced, I was convinced that the future was on its way. We were reaching outward. Humans were going to explore the universe, meet aliens, live on other worlds, and have adventures. And it was all going to happen in my lifetime. Of course, none of that has happened.

62、 There have been lots of incredible missions including Voyager I and II, New Horizons, and Cassini. None of these missions have involved astronauts, and the future that a lot of us had stamped into our imaginations hasnt happened. But we need to go on exploring. Exploration, knowledge, wonder, imagi

63、nation -these are the best of what it means to be human. Lets boldly go already. The next giant leap doesnt have to be Mars. It would be incredible to find microbial（微生物的）life somewhere in outer space. On January 28, 1986, I sat in the cafeteria of my high school and watched the Space Shuttle Challe

64、nger take off. The teachers at my school had set up TVs so that we could get inspired. Instead, we all watched in horror as the space shuttle blew up. Seven astronauts died. Not one of us thought that we should cancel the Space Shuttle program or cut NASAs budget. If anything, we wanted more. We sti

65、ll do. 51. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A. The difficulties of space travel. B. The main characteristics of space. C. The limitations of the human body. D. The location of Earth in the universe. 52. When the author was a kid, he expected all of the following things on space explora

66、tion except _.A. evidence of alien lifeB. adventures in outer spaceC. knowledge about the origin of lifeD. communication with alien civilization53. Why do we need to continue the cause of space exploration according to the author?A. Living on other worlds will bring benefits. B. It involves the best

67、 things that make us human. C. Life existing beyond Earth can satisfy our needs. D. We will have great fun having adventures in space. 54. What message does the author intend to convey through the last paragraph?A. No difficulties would stop us from exploring the universe. B. We need to encourage mo

68、re students to explore the unknown. C. Mankinds journey to space is a dangerous but rewarding one. D. More efforts should be made to ensure the safety of astronauts. 55. What is the main theme of this passage?A. The challenges of space travel. B. The need to continue space exploration. C. The failed

69、 expectations of space exploration. D. The authors childhood memories of space travel. 第II卷第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）阅读短文, 并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。Life on the street is a constant struggle for homeless people. In extreme weather conditions, that struggle becomes even more difficult. Recently, homeles

70、s people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldnt find shelter for the night. Thankfully, one local woman refused to let that happen. On January 30, 34-year-old Candice Payne, a local managing broker, was lucky enough to have shelter from the dangerous conditions. “It was -20C, and I k

72、e, her mission was personal. According to Payne, her husband, Carlos Callahan, had lived on the street at one point in his life. Based on his experience, Payne knew that the homeless people still living on the street desperately needed help and she wanted to step up. However, when Payne explained wh

73、at she was trying to do, many of the local hotels refused to allow her to pay for the rooms as they didnt want homeless people to stay in their rooms. “No one wanted them, but one hotel, the Amber Inn, was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms, said Payne. Paynes selfless act made news across the

74、 country. However, she insisted she had never done it for attention. “I am a regular person, ” said Payne, who spent thousands of dollars of her own money to help complete strangers. “It all sounded like a rich person did this, but Im just a little black girl from the South Side. 56.
