Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Passage One
Scientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far out in our solar system. In a statement, the California Institute of Technology—Caltech—said this planet travels a very strange “long and thin orbit in the distant solar system. ” The discovery was made by two researchers at Caltech: Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical modeling and computer simulations（模拟）to find the planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet.
“My jaw hit the floor,” said astronomer（宇航员）Mike Brown, the moment he realized there might be a ninth planet.
The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20,000 years just to make one full orbit around the Sun. The new planet, called “Planet Nine”, has a mass about 10 times the size of Earth. If they are right, the newly found planet would be the ninth planet in our solar system. Pluto（冥王星）had been called the ninth planet until 2006, when it was renamed a “dwarf planet.”
Actual confirmation of a ninth planet would be very big news. “This would be a real ninth planet,” Brown said in the statement. “There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient times, and this would be a third. It’s a pretty substantial part of our solar system that’s still out there to be found, which is pretty exciting.”
While they did not get a picture of " Planet Nine" yet, the scientists say they are using the big-gest and best -telescopes on Earth to try to find "Planet Nine." They are also working on impro-ving their computer simulations. They want to find out more about " Planet Nine' s" orbit, and itsimpact on the outer part of our solar system.
16、The newly-found planet_______________.
A moves around the Sun
B was discovered by two astronomers
C travels around orbit
D is far away from our solar system
17、The possibility of finding a ninth planet made Mike Brown_______________.
A confused
B frightened
C satisfied
D surprised
18、According to the scientists, _______________.
A the planet is ten times larger than the Earth
B it takes the planet less than 10,000 years to make a full orbit
C Pluto was once thought to be the ninth planet in the solar system
D Pluto was given a new name after it was discovered in 2006
19、It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that_______________.
A there is no actual confirmation about the ninth planet
B no true planets were discovered in ancient times
C scientists have found three planets in modern times
D the ninth planet is the only one discovered since ancient times
20、To find “Planet Nine”, scientists are using all the following EXCEPT_______________.
A mathematical modeling
B computer simulations
C advanced telescopes
D large spacecrafts

Passage Two
“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are over-protective and do too much. The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s. It describes parents who hover（悬停）over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.
Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adult. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style.
“Over-parenting”, she says, “comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who think the world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable. And therefore, I must protect and prevent. The second type is the over-directive type——the parent who says, I know best what leads to success and you will do as I say. You’ll study these topics, do these activities and you will be highly achieving at all of it. The third type is the concierge（看门人）——the parent who just wants to make life smoother——from waking their kid up, to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven’t forgotten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid.”
Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves.
"They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have them make the choice about something.” Often times, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those parents that their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.
21、The term “helicopter parenting” _______________.
A describes parents who give children directions in the air
B was probably invented in the late nineteenth century
C gains more meaning as modem technology develops
D refers to parents who concern too much about kids
22、According to Lythcott-Haims, over-parenting has all the following features EXCEPT_______________.
A over-directive
B over-dependent
C over-preventive
D over-protective
23、It can be inferred that a concierge mother will_______________.
A regard the world as very dangerous
B allow children to do whatever they like
C keep a close eye on the kid’s assignment
D let the kid alone when he falls on the ground
24、In Julie’s eyes, the first-year students at Stanford University are_______________.
A very clever in studying
B really good at problem-solving
C unable to communicate with teachers
D having problems in making friends
25、Lythcott-Haims’ attitude towards helicopter parenting is_______________.
A supportive
B negative
C uninterested
D unclear

Passage Three
I recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, this was a green festival!
From the food to the stalls（货摊）, everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. Not only was the majority of the furniture/ stalls/ toilet rooms hand- made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in specially labeled dustbins which, after the festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that attendants were not encouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.
I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting. Having never been to a music festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic fruit juice. There were many stalls, art installations, and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly!
This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that does not cause great damage to the environment. I have since discovered that there are more events similar to this across the globe, which is great! I can’t imagine how much waste has been produced from such public events as festivals across the years before we realised just how bad they were for the environment!
26、Which of the following can be the title of the passage?
A We Love Green
B We Love Environment
C Music Festivals
D A Unique Public Event
27、What is special about the music festival?
A It has a special band.
B It has a unique program list.
C It is held every weekend.
D It is environmentally friendly.
28、At the music festival, guests were encouraged to_______________.
A make furniture from wood
B bring plastic-bottled drinks
C recycle rubbish by themselves
D drink free fresh water
29、According to Paragraph 3, the author_______________.
A fully enjoyed the festival
B expected much from the festival
C found the event very funny
D liked listening to music at home
30、The purpose of this passage is to_______________.
A raise funds for environment protection
B highlight that being green can be fun
C encourage people to go to music festivals
D introduce the author’s favourite musicians

Passage Four
Chokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes（路面坑洞）. The eighth-grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city,” said Chokwe, His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.
Chokwe developed the app with his friends. “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red,” Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.” Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.
The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “It works by using the city’s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,” Chokwe says. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problem——which include potholes. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the app, they also went street by street throughout the city. They determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test it.
Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until it’s nationwide,” Chokwe says.
31、Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from_______________.
A his own experience
B a recent news report
C his friends
D his mother
32、When you are close to a pothole, your phone will warn you with_______________.
A a voice report
B a red light
C a beeping sound
D a map image
33、Drivers can also use Chokwe’s app to_______________.
A report emergency traffic problems
B look for information other than potholes
C choose safer routes without potholes
D avoid traffic jam caused by potholes
34、To develop the app, Chokwe and his friends_______________.
A reported potholes to 311 call system
B conducted field trips on the streets
C built their own information database
D collected samples in their neighborhood
35、We can learn from the last paragraph that Chokwe_______________.
A is quite successful
B is facing difficulties
