　　A full moon is appearing—and it will have a big impact on animals, especially those in the ocean.
　　Recent studies show that many types of animals have biological clocks finely tuned to the cycles of the moon, which drives interesting and sometimes strange patterns of behavior.
　　Besides discovering hidden aspects of animal life, the research also has intention of better understanding the circadian clocks(生物钟) present in all animals, including humans.
　　The first circadian clocks evolved in the oceans, so studying them in ocean animals can tell us a lot about how they evolved and how they work and interact with each other, explains Kim Last, a researcher at the Scottish Association for Marine Science.
　　Oysters(牡蛎), which open their shells to eat and spawn, also have a lunar rhythm, a new study shows.
　　In a recent experiment, French researchers carefully monitored how widely a dozen oysters opened their shells during a 3. 5-month period. The team used a high-tech device that quantified the valve opening every two seconds, as described in a paper published in the journal Biology Letters.
　　They found that two types of oysters in Arcachon Bay in southwestern France were significantly more open during new moons and more closed when the moon was full. In addition, the oysters could tell the difference between the first quarter moon and the third quarter moon, and were significantly more open (by nearly 20 percent) at the latter.
　　It’s unknown why the oysters do this, though it could be due to more algae(海藻) or other food being available during the new moon and as the year progresses, says study leader Damien Tran, a researcher at the University of Bordeaux.
　　The lunar cycle could influence food availability by its impact on the tides and thus the ocean’s currents. When the moon is full or new, it is directly in line with Earth and the sun, forcing a strong pull on the ocean and thus causing more noticeable tides, explains David Wilcockson, a ocean biologist at Aberystwyth University in Wales who wasn’t part of the study.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了月亮会对动物, 尤其是海洋动物产生巨大的影响。
1. Where did the earliest life forms probably evolve?
A. In the tides. 　　　　B. In the oysters.
C. In the moon. D. In the ocean.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第四段可知, 苏格兰海洋科学协会的研究员金·拉斯特解释说, 最早的生物钟是在海洋中进化而来的, 所以在海洋动物身上研究生物钟可以告诉我们很多关于它们是如何进化的, 以及它们是如何工作和相互作用的。由此可知, 最早的生命形式可能是在海洋里进化而来的, 故选D。
2. Based on the observations, what is the likely order of when the oysters are most open and most closed?
①The new moon ②The full moon
③The first quarter ④The third quarter
A. ①-②-③-④ B. ①-②-④-③
C. ①-④-③-② D. ①-③-④-②
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据倒数第三段可知, 在法国西南部的阿卡雄湾, 两种牡蛎在新月期间明显更开放, 而在满月时则更封闭。此外, 牡蛎可以分辨出四分之一月和四分之三月, 而在四分之三月时, 牡蛎明显更开放(近20%)。由此可知, 根据观察, 牡蛎最开放和最封闭的可能顺序是: 新月——四分之三月——四分之一月——满月, 故选C。
3. What is it that leads to the huge tides?
A. A strong pull. B. A straight line.
C. The lunar cycle. D. The ocean’s current.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据最后一段When the moon is full or new, it is directly in line with Earth and the sun, forcing a strong pull on the ocean and thus causing more noticeable tides(当月亮是满月或新月时, 它直接与地球和太阳在一条直线上, 迫使海洋产生强大的拉力, 从而引起更明显的潮汐。)由此可知, 强大的拉力导致了巨大的潮汐, 故选A。
4. Why are oysters mentioned as an example?
A. To explain why they open their shells.
B. To further stress the moon’s impact on animals.
C. To show the difficulty of science experiments.
D. To introduce how the high-tech device is used in experiments.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第一段A full moon is appearing—and it will have a big impact on animals, especially those in the ocean. (满月正在出现, 它将对动物, 尤其是海洋动物产生巨大的影响。)由此推断出, 作者以牡蛎为例, 是为了进一步强调月亮对动物的影响, 故选B。

　　Nasr Majid started hunting this fall at Blackwater National Wildlife RefUge (保护区) on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in USA. He’s one of the relatively few new hunters who officials hope will help stop a nearly four-decade decline nationally in what has become a hobby for fewer than 5 percent of Americans.
　　Natural resources and wildlife officials in Maryland are encouraging hunting of deer, turkeys and some other wild animals, which is believed to be good for the environment. Without hunting, they say, sika deer will overpopulate and they’ll overeat the bushes and other plants that provide important habitat for birds. On the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, hunting is also important to prevent the spread of diseases such as Lyme.
　　In many families, the hunting tradition has been handed down for generations. But as long time sportsmen age and children lose interest, the number of hunters in the United States fell by 2 million, from 2011 to 2018, to about 11 million.
　　“Everything is changing. Kids are growing up in front of video games and computers instead of going hunting. ” said Chris Markin, a hunting specialist for the state natural resources department. “Adults usually focus on working and providing for their families. Those pressures are preventing many other potential hunters from going out, and from raising the next generation of hunters. ”
　　To avoid such a decline, a new approach is needed. Government agencies and nonprofit groups are now launching mentoring (指导) programs to train more hunters, which not only helps preserve an industry and a culture but also means more protection for wildlife and their habitats through deer population control.
　　Luckily, there are those still eager to learn, like Majid. He was just looking for an outdoor hobby he could share with his children when he came across the mentorship program. Now, he feels capable of hunting on his own, but also has someone he can text with questions that pop up. His new pastime has already paid off for him — on his second hunt with his mentor, in the last minutes of daylight, he bagged his first deer.  
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 介绍了Nasr Majid在美国马里兰州东海岸的黑水国家野生动物保护区狩猎。他是为数不多的几个新猎人之一, 官员们希望他们能帮助阻止近四十年来全国范围内的狩猎活动下降。
5. What can be inferred from Chris Markin’s words?
A. The hunting tradition is facing challenges.
B. No one is interested in hunting any more.
C. Parents fail to spend enough time with kids.
D. Hunting adds to many adults’ life pressures.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Everything is changing. Kids are growing up in front of video games and computers instead of going hunting. ”及“Adults usually focus on working and providing for their families. Those pressures are preventing many other potential hunters from going out, and from raising the next generation of hunters. ”可知, 孩子们玩电脑游戏长大而不是去狩猎, 成人忙于工作和养家糊口, 这些压力阻碍了潜在的猎人外出, 也阻碍了下一代猎人的成长, 由此可知, Chris Markin的话表明狩猎传统正面临挑战, 故A项正确。
6. In this passage, Nasr Majid is considered as a symbol of ______.  
A. hope B. bravery
C. enthusiasm D. devotion
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知, 今年秋天, Nasr Majid开始在美国马里兰州东海岸的黑水国家野生动物保护区狩猎。他是为数不多的几个新猎人之一, 官员们希望他们能帮助阻止近四十年来全国范围内的狩猎活动下降。由此可知, Nasr Majid被认为是希望的象征, 故A项正确。
7. What do the underlined words “new pastime” refer to?
A. Raising questions. B. Learning to hunt.
C. Looking for hunters. D. Sharing a new hobby.
【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Luckily, there are those still eager to learn, like Majid. He was just looking for an outdoor hobby he could share with his children. . . ”可知, 幸运的是, 也有一些人渴望学习狩猎, 比如Majid, 他把狩猎当作是一种可以与孩子们共享的户外爱好。他的这个新消遣已经有了回报——在第二次狩猎的最后几分钟, 他捕获了第一只鹿, 由此可知画线词指的是“学习狩猎”, 故B项正确。
8. What is the best title for the text?
A. Teach Hunters New Skills
B. Preserve a Great Tradition
C. Reduce the Pressure of Life
D. Make Hunting More Popular
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。通读全文, 特别是根据第一段内容可知, 本文主要介绍了Nasr Majid在美国马里兰州东海岸的黑水国家野生动物保护区狩猎。他是为数不多的几个新猎人之一, 官员们希望他们能帮助阻止近四十年来全国范围内的狩猎活动下降, 由此可知D项(让狩猎更加流行)最适合作为文章标题。

　　One of the most famous archaeological discoveries in all of history is The Terracotta Army. They were found by farmers digging for a well on the outskirts of Xi’an in 1974. Becoming a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987, the spectacular figures continue to attract millions of visitors from all over the world. Yet the excavations(发掘) are unfinished.
　　Famously, archaeological work at the site and the accompanying tomb of the First Qin Emperor has been allowed to slow down until technology advances enough to preserve the artefacts currently buried underground. In addition to this, safety concerns have been raised regarding the unusually high levels of mercury (水银)found on the soil. It is supposed that this is from the mercury streams which were inlaid in the floor of the burial chamber, but only time will tell if this ancient tale is true.
　　Currently 8, 000 soldiers have been found, each one with a distinctively different look. This was achieved through an early use of assembly-line-type construction. The warriors were assembled with 8 different heads to choose from, and features being added with additional clay by skilled craftsmen.
　　Studying the warriors and their horses offers historians an important insight into this period in Chinese history. The technology used to assemble the underground army was truly remarkable. Over 40, 000 bronze weapons were found, and after more than 2, 000 years they still appear sharp. How is this possible? The ancient Chinese managed to use protective chrome plating (镀铬), something which was thought to have been invented in Germany in 1937!
　　When it is completely uncovered, the sight will truly be spectacular and much more will be understood about China’s first Emperor and the level of technology the ancient Chinese possessed.

Ⅲ. 短文改错
　　I’ve been playing volleyball since three years before. It started when a teacher set up volleyball club in our school, hope that more students would join in the sport. The club was very popular that many students signed up for it. To be honestly, at that time I just followed them without thinking. We practiced together on every Saturday morning. However, some of the students soon began to get boring and dropped out of the club. So I found I was quite enjoying it and I carry on. After training for some time, I was selected for the school team. What excited and proud I was!

1. 【解析】第一句before→ago。before 表示从过去某个时间起之前, ago表示从现在起多长时间之前。此处指从现在起三年前用ago, 故before改为ago。
2. 【解析】第二句volleyball前加a。句中club是可数名词, 此处表示一个排球俱乐部, 要加表示“一个”的冠词a, 故volleyball前加a。
3. 【解析】第二句hope→hoping。句中主语a teacher和动词hope之间是主动关系, 此处作状语用现在分词, 故hope改为hoping。
4. 【解析】第三句very→so。此处表示俱乐部如此受欢迎以至于许多学生报名, 表示“如此……以至于”用so. . . that句型, 故very改为so。
5. 【解析】第四句honestly→honest。此处作动词be的表语用形容词, to be honest “说实话”, 是固定短语, 故honestly改为honest。
6. 【解析】第五句去掉on。表示每周六上午是every Saturday morning, every前不加介词, 故去掉on。
7. 【解析】第六句boring→bored。boring 表示令人厌烦的, 常修饰物; bored“无趣的”, 常修饰人。此处指学生们感到厌烦用get bored, 故boring改为bored。
8. 【解析】第七句So→But。许多同学感到打排球无趣就退出了俱乐部, 但我发现我很喜欢打排球。前后句是转折关系用连词but, 故So改为But。
9. 【解析】第七句carry→carried。我发现我很喜欢打排球就继续了下来, 与and前的动词found时态一致也用一般过去时, 故carry改为carried。
10. 【解析】第九句What→How。引导感叹句时what修饰名词, how修饰形容词或副词, 此处修饰形容词excited和proud用how引导感叹句, 故What改为How。
Ⅳ. 书面表达
　　假定你是学生会主席李华, 学生会举办了英语戏剧节(English Drama Festival), 得到了外教Miss Brown的大力帮助。活动圆满结束后, 请给她写一封感谢信。内容包括:
1. 表达感谢;

Dear Miss Brown,
　　I’m writing to express my sincere gratitude for your kind help in the school English Drama Festival, which has turned out to be an amazing success.
　　It’s so nice of you to have offered us a class of presentation skills and basic stage techniques. Under your professional guidance, the participants gave such an impressive performance. Some students overcame the fear of acting in front of the audience and gained tremendous confidence. Others developed communication skills and knew how to cooperate in a team. Most importantly, this activity had fueled our passion for English drama.
　　Many thanks for your time and support.
Yours,
Li Hua
