第一部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分37.5分）第一節(jié)（共4小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

• 1．Shot in more than 40 locations in L.A.，the musical La La Land is "a love letter to the city".To coincide with UK release，we asked a local writer to pick some of the film's amazing settings.
     Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange
     La La Land's opening scene is a six-minute dance that plays out in L.A.'s bad traffic.It is also where the film's leading roles，struggling actress Mia and jazz pianist Sebastian，first encounter each other --- in a road anger incident.The scene is said to have been filmed over two hot days in south L.A..
     Smokehouse Restaurant，Burbank
     This is the setting for the scene in which Mia discovers Sebastian's talent for the piano.The fictional Lipton's restaurant --- where jazz pianist Sebastian was reluctant to play Christmas music --- is in reality a place long frequented by celebrities，producers and other show business types.It has been on this spot，across the street from the Warner Bros studio，since 1949.In the film，the outer wall of Lipton's is the You are the Star mural（壁畫(huà)），which features Marilyn Monroe，Charlie Chaplin and others，which is on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Wicox Avenue in Hollywood in reality.
     Warner Bros Studio，Burbank
     Mia works at the studio's coffee shop，where Sebastian comes to meet her.As they wander the studio's lot，Mia points out "the window that Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman looked out in Casablanca." It's one of the film's numerous nods to movie history.Warner Bros is still a working studio，with 35 sound stages，14 exterior sets and visitor tours.
     Cathy's Corner，Mount Hollywood Drive
     This section of the road that winds through Griffth Park is the setting of their dance play.It overlooks the San Fernando Valley and features on the film poster.Cathy's Corner is near famed Mulholand Drive，but prepare for disappointment if you're expecting a park bench and street lamps，which only exist in the movie.
  
  （1）In order to encounter some film stars，you may go to

  .
  A．Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange
  B．Smokehouse Restaurant
  C．Warner Bros Studio

• 2．Chris Mazdzer won a silver medal in a men's luge（無(wú)舵雪橇）singes event at 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics，South Korea --- equaling the best finish ever for any member of the US Olympic luge team.In the luge，competitors lie flat，feet first，on a small sled（雪橇）.They can travel around an icy track at speeds up to 140 kilometers an hour.The rides control the sled's speed by changing the position of their feet or by moving their shoulder.
     Of course，most credit for the win must go to Chris Mazdzer himself.The American said it was a product of 16 years of preparation and intense training.But another reason for Mazdzer's success could have been the 3-D printing technology，while his team used to make its equipment.
     The term 3-D is short for three dimensional，meaning an object with length，width and height.In 3-D printing，3-D models are first created as files，or documents，on a computer.The printer then uses a substance（物質(zhì)） like plastic or metal to create physical objects.The process involves making one layer of material at a time until the objects reach full form.
     The US luge team worked with an American company called Stratasys on the designing and manufacturing process for the sleds.First，the company made a scan，or image，of the body of every member of the luge team.Then，3-D printing technology was used to create tools for making molds（模子） in the shape of Olympians on top of a sled.The process of designing and tooling sled parts is highly complex and can take several weeks.Officials from the US luge team say 3-D printing can greatly simplify the process，seeding up the production of parts.
     Jon Owen，says the use of 3-D printing has made the team more competjye.aiive.It helps the team "continuously adjust designs and run the sleds on the track much faster than traditional processes，" he said.He added that the technology also provides a way to perfectly fit each rider to the sled，while cutting production time and costs.
  
  （1）According to the author，what mainly contributed to Mazdzer's winning the medal？

  
  A．His own great efforts.
  B．His using a new technique.
  C．The cooperation with his luge team.
  D．The US Olympic luge team's encouragement.
  （2）To make the sleds for the team，what did the company have to do？

  
  A．To create tools for making sled parts.
  B．To take some photos of the members first.
  C．To create molds according to the members' bodies.
  D．To ask the Olympians to be present for several weeks.
  （3）From the last paragraph we learn that 3-D printing most probably

  .
  A．saves plenty of competitors' training time.
  B．helps competitors achieve their full potential.
  C．requires great skill of riders to fit the track.
  D．a(chǎn)llows riders to change their sleds continuously.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．How 3-D printing usually works.
  B．How we take advantage of 3-D printing.
  C．How the US luge team performed this year.
  D．How 3-D printing helped Team US go for gold.

• 3．In a career that lasted more than half a century，Tom Wolfe wrote fiction and nonfiction best-sellers including The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and The Bonfire of the Vanities.Along the way，he created a new type of journalism and coined phrases that became part of the American vocabulary.
     Wolfe began working as a newspaper reporter，first for The Washington Post，then the New York Herald Tribune.He developed a literary style in nonfiction that became known as the "New Journalism". "I've always agreed on a theoretical level that the techniques for fiction and nonfiction are interchangeable，" he said. "The things that work in nonfiction would work in fiction，and vice versa."
     "When Tom Wolfe's voice broke into the world of nonfiction，it was a time when a lot of writers，and a lot of artists in general，were turning inwards，" says Lev Grossman，book critic for Time magazine. "Wolfe didn't do that.Wolfe turned outwards.He was a guy who was interested in other people." Wolfe was interested in how they thought，how they did things and how the things they did affected the world around them.
     In 1979，Wolfe published The Right Stuff，an account of the military test pilots who became America's first astronauts.Four years later，the book was adapted as a feature film. "The Right Stuff was the book for me"，says Crossman. "It reminded me，in case I'd forgotten，that the world is an incredible place."
     In The Right Stuff，Wolfe popularized the phrase "pushing the envelope." In a New York magazine article，Wolfe described the 1970s as "The 'Me' Decade." Grossman says these phrases became part of the American idiom because they were accurate.
     "He was an enormously forceful observer，and he was not afraid of making strong claims about what was happening in reality，" Grossman says. "He did it well and people heard him.And they repeated what he said because he was right." All those words started a revolution in nonfiction that is still going on.
  
  （1）The "New Journalism" is a style of journalism that

  .
  A．changes its news writing techniques frequently
  B．popularizes new American idioms in a literary way
  C．combines novelistic techniques with traditional reporting
  D．reports various news events from a theoretical perspective
  （2）It can be learned from the passage that The Right Stuff

  .
  A．is a film directed by Lev Grossman
  B．is an influential book by Tom Wolfe
  C．a(chǎn)ccounts for popular American phrases
  D．deals with incredible places in the world
  （3）According to the passage，Tom Wolfe

  .
  A．was good at writing from a realistic perspective
  B．preferred making claims about events to writing books
  C．was fond of commenting on other people's thoughts
  D．liked analyzing social problems from the outside

      It was a hot afternoon in summer.Bobby，Larry and Jacob，the three best friends，sat around in their backyard.
      From a distance they heard a trumpet（喇叭）sound!Larry's eyes shone with excitement as he remembered that a circus was coming to town! "We must go to the circus!" shouted Bobby.The boys quickly searched their pockets for the twenty cents that they would each need to gain entry into the circus.Unfortunately，they came up short.Together they only had a dime（十分硬幣），three pennies，a rock，and a button. "OK.We need 47 more cents!How are we going to accomplish that？" Larry said in despair.
      Fortunately，Jacob came up with an idea to turn things around. "Follow me!" he yelled as he ran into the house.In the kitchen，Jacob gathered together lemons，sugar，and a large caster. "We'll sell lemonade!" The boys worked hard and made enough lemonade for the entire town.Outside they went with a sign saying "Lemonade --- 5 cents a cup".They set up their stand on the road and waited.Not a single person came by.Depressed，the hoys didn't know what to do.
      All of a sudden，Bobby said "Let's make pizza!Maybe then people will buy from us".Back inside they went.They made the dough，and added a variety of toppings.The smells coming out of the kitchen were delicious.Back outside they went，this time with a sign saying Pizza --- 5 cents a slice!" They just needed to sell 10 slices to make it to the circus.And yet not a single person bought a slice，the road was lonely.
      Just at that time，they heard a strange cry coming down the sidewalk.They looked over and saw a monkey!Where did he come from？The monkey ran towards them and jumped in the nearby tree.Right behind the monkey was a man running after him in a three-piece suit. "That must be the ringmaster（馬戲團(tuán)指揮）!" Bobby said to his friends.The ringmaster got to the bottom of the tree and was begging the monkey to come down，but in vain.
  Paragraph 1：
  The three warm-hearted boys thought up an idea.                     
  Paragraph 2：
  The ringmaster was very grateful to the boys.
