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。
A
An Oceans Vacuum （吸尘器）
There’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead， the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed， a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2024. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.
Easy-On Shoes
In 2012， Matthew Walzer， a high school student with a disability， sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college，” he wrote， “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned （指派） a design team to the challenge. This year， they came out with their solution： the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $130.
An Airport for Drones （无人机）
As Amazon， Google， and others get ready for drone delivery service， there is one big question： What kinds of home bases will their drones have？ Rwanda， in Africa， may have the answer. There， workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goals are to make it easier to transport food， medical supplies， electronics， and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2024.
21. What’s the advantage of the Oceans Vacuum？
A. It can grow year by year.
B. It can tear plastic into pieces.
C. It can be put into wide use soon.
D. It can use natural currents to catch trash in the ocean.
22. What do we know about Nike？

C. It provides customer-friendly services. D. It responded to Matthew’s request passively.
23. Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”？
A. To make road travel convenient. B. To make drone delivery easier.
C. To ensure the drones land easily. D. To store things to be delivered.
B
One day， a college student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along， they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by， and who had nearly finished his day’s work.
