When the young donkey Daisy May came to us，she was pregnant.With no donkey experience，I was unprepared for what might come next.

After some difficulty，Daisy’s baby was born.I thought the poor thing was dead.I planned to put the loss behind us and make sure she never got pregnant again.Just then，I heard a little noise.I couldn’t believe that baby was breathing and looking at me! We called him Samson，and of course I became his mother as much as Daisy was.

When Samson was nine months old，I had to separate Daisy and Samson for a few hours a day to wean(使断奶) him，but otherwise he went wherever she did.I thought he would be lost without her.His donkey stepdad Bernard taught him to always be ready to have fun.They enjoyed playing football together and going for a roll on a hot summer day.

I asked a worker to make a harness(马具) for my three little donkeys.When I brought it home，I taught them one by one how to pull a cart.Samson watched and freely followed Daisy.When he was three，I put the harness on him and he knew exactly what to do.

That was 15 years ago.Now，the most exciting thing about Samson is that he has become a little renowned.People come from all over to see him perform.The neighbors bring their grandchildren，and my sons bring their friends.

Samson shakes hands，unties my shoes，picks up a hat and more.And when I ask him if he has any bad habits，he tries to pick my pocket! He surprisingly learned these tricks himself.I just ask him to do them and he understands.

The relationship I have with my “baby” Samson has been an amazing experience.Every day is a fun day with this superstar donkey.

答案　B

解析　推理判断题。根据首段末句“With no donkey experience，I was unprepared for what might come next.”可知，作者没有养驴的相关经验，所以对于怀孕的Daisy和接下来的事情不知如何是好，完全没有准备。由此可推知，作者从来没有养过驴。故选B。

5．What can we learn about Samson when he was little?

Binge-watching(刷剧) is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession(一连串，连续)．With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet，increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies，people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.

This behavior is nothing new.In fact，“binge-watching” has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015.The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it.Often，instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis，an entire series will become available concurrently.Once the episode finishes，many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like” suggestions，or will automatically play the next episode.

However，recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back(一集接一集地)，almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores.Next we’ll be missing work!

Bingeing has other connections—binge eating，binge drinking and binge smoking.All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction.Lindsey Fussell，consumer group director，said，“The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone，with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist，are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?

The countless number of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is，many would say，a good thing.However，when the activity begins to bleed into other areas，causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem.So，what’s the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount，nor too much.After all，as the old proverb says，“A little of what you fancy does you good.”

8．How did the writer develop the first paragraph?

B．By telling a story.

C．By listing some examples.

D．By analyzing the cause and effect.

答案　A

9．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “concurrently” in Para.2?

A．For convenience.   B．At the same time.

C．In detail.   D．Free of charge.

答案　B

解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“an entire series will become available”和画线词后一句可推知，通常情况下，不是每周发布一集，而是同时发布一整季。由此可知，画线词在本句中意为“同时”，与at the same time同义。故选B。

10．What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that         .

A．people can’t control their feelings

B．people can’t resist the temptation

C．people have no patience to do work

D．people are addicted to waiting for a new episode

D．To watch episodes in a moderate way.

(2021·八省联考)

Magic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible.The magician is a specially trained actor.He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power to do things which are against the laws of nature.

Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done.The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology, and, sometimes, on mechanical devices(机械装置)．Since magic performance is meant to trick people, the use of psychology is important.The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment.He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions.The magician’s success depends on the fact that many things seen by the eye are not the things that matter.

Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear.A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects.For example, the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups.The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour.What actually happens is that the magician, employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball.While doing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand.The audience is too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician’s words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball.

Another favourite trick is to cut or burn something, and then make it appear whole again.What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else.Then he “magically” makes it appear whole again by displaying(展示) another object that has not been cut or burned.

12．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?

A．To promote a magic show.

B．To teach people to be magicians.

C．To explain the art of magic.

D．To praise the talents of magicians.

答案　C

解析　写作意图题。通过对文章主旨大意的理解以及文章最后两段讲述的魔术技巧，可知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是解释魔术的艺术。故选C项。

13．Which of the following is important for a successful magic trick?

A．Moving stage equipment.

B．Directing the audience’s attention.

C．Applying high technology.

D．Keeping the performance in secret.

答案　B

解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“The magician must keep people from...not the things that matter.”可知， 魔术师成败的关键是如何“骗过”观众的眼睛，成功引导观众的注意力。

14．What does the author focus on in the last two paragraphs?

A．Providing examples.

B．Making a summary.

C．Drawing comparisons.

D．Explaining a concept.

答案　A

解析　写作手法题。通读最后两段，作者通过两个最常见的魔术案例来解释说明魔术师如何通过动作、技巧和辅助装置施展魔术。故选A项。

15．What can we infer from the text?

A．Mechanical devices are expensive.

B．Most magicians employ assistants.

C．It takes practice to perform magic.

D．Small objects are magicians’ favourite.

答案　C

解析　推理判断题。通过文章第一段的“The magician is a specially trained actor.(魔术师是受过专门训练的演员)”，第二段的“The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands...”，第三段的“...employing quick hand movements...”和第四段的“...by quickly hiding it...”可知，魔术师的操作都是微妙和迅速的，还需要熟悉心理学去转移观众的注意力，所以变魔术需要下功夫练习。故选C项。

Have you ever heard of the Internet of Things (IoT)? It’s a term that is being used more and more often lately.  1   Basically，any device with an on/off switch that connects to the Internet is part of the IoT.Based on this definition，what items might be part of the IoT? Look around you.Are there any devices in your home or classroom part of the IoT？  2   Your friend’s smartphone? Your teacher’s iWatch? How about those smart headphones you want for your birthday? These are all part of the IoT.

In many cases，these devices share data with each other.  3   For example，consider the devices in a smart home.There might be a smart thermostat(恒温器)，a smart speaker and a smart oven(烤箱)．Now，picture a person walking home with a smartphone in the pocket.If the smartphone’s GPS knows the person will be home soon，it can send that information to the other IoT devices，the thermostat can adjust to the person’s preferred temperature.The smart speaker can play the person’s favorite album.  4   All these things are done before the person walks through the door—and without the person lifting a finger.

Exactly how big is the IoT? In the near future，it is estimated that about 34 billion devices will be connected.Just think of all the ways those devices can work together to make life easier！  5  You’re faced with the threat of hackers(黑客) stealing data from devices in homes，cars and businesses.Security is now more important than ever.
