“I believe in holding onto traditions because they helped our family flourish（兴旺）in a new country. But this concept is more concretely expressed this way: I believe in feeding monkeys on my birthday — something I’ve done without fail for 35 years.
In the Burmese jungle, monkeys are as common as pigeons. But in America, feeding monkeys means violating the rules.
As a kid, I thought that was cool. I learned English through watching bad television shows and expected that I was the chosen warrior（勇士）sent to defend my family. Dad and I would go to the zoo early in the morning, just the two of us. When the Coast was clear, I would throw my peanuts to the monkeys.
I never had to explain myself until my 18th birthday. It was the first year I didn’t go with my father. I went with my friends and arrived 10 minutes after the zoo gates closed. “Please,” I begged the zookeeper, “I feed monkeys for my family, not for me. Can’t you make an exception?” “Go find a pet store,” she said.
If only it were so easy. That time, I got lucky. I found out that a high school classmate trained the monkeys for the movie Out of Africa, so he allowed me to feed his monkeys. Once a man with a pet monkey suspected that my story was a ploy — that I was an animal rights activist out to liberate his monkey. Another time, a zoo told me that outsiders could not feed the monkeys without violating the zookeepers’ collective bargaining agreement. Once in a pet store, I managed to feed a marmoset（狨）being kept in a birdcage. Another time, I was asked to wear a special suit to feed a laboratory monkey.
It’s rarely easy and, yet, somehow I’ve found a way to feed a monkey every year since I was born.
4. Why has the author fed monkeys all these years?
A. To please his father.
B. To develop a new hobby.
C. To celebrate his birthday.
D. To keep up his family tradition.
5. How did the author and his father feed the zoo monkeys?
A. They did it in a secret way.
B. They pretended to be warriors.
C. They did it with the help of friends.
D. They got the zookeeper’s permission.
6. What does the underlined word “ploy” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Joke. B. Trick.
C. Excuse. D. Adventure.
7. How is the fifth paragraph mainly developed?
A. By providing examples. B. By giving explanations.
C. By following time order. D. By making comparisons.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲了作者在过去的35年里为了延续家族传统一直坚持喂猴子，但因为在美国喂猴子是犯法的，作者从儿时起总是想方设法地去喂猴子。在喂猴子时发生了许多趣事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的I believe in holding onto traditions because they helped our family flourish（兴旺）in a new country.（我相信要坚持传统，因为它们帮助我们的家庭在一个新的国家兴旺发达）可知，此处的“它们”指的是下文提到的monkeys，可见作者这么多年来一直喂猴子的原因是保持他的家庭传统。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的But in America, feeding monkeys means violating the rules.（但是在美国，给猴子喂食意味着违反规定）和第三段的Dad and I would go to the zoo early in the morning, just the two of us. When the Coast was clear, I would throw my peanuts to the monkeys.（爸爸和我会一大早去动物园，就我们两个。如果没有危险，我就会把花生丢给猴子）可知，在美国给猴子喂食违反规定，作者和他的父亲早早去动物园，如果没有危险就会把花生丢给猴子，所以作者和父亲是用秘密的方式去味动物园里的猴子。故选A。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段Once a man with a pet monkey suspected that my story was a ploy — that I was an animal rights activist out to liberate his monkey.（有一次，一个带着一只宠物猴子的男人怀疑我的故事是一个计谋——我是一个动物权利活动家，想让他的猴子摆脱束缚）可知，居中的破折号后的句子是一个同位语从句，用来解释说明ploy的内容，作者在讲述自己的一个故事，却被人误以为自己是一名动物权利活动家，自己的故事被误以为是一个计谋，故划线的ploy相当于trick（计谋、诡计），故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的That time, .... Once a man with a pet monkey ... Another time, ... Once in a pet store, .... Another time, ]....可知，作者为了延续家族传统，在法律规定的边缘游走着，小心翼翼地去获取喂猴子的机会，但这并不是每次都那么顺利，作者列举了几个自己跌跌撞撞喂猴子的经历，由此判断出，第五段主要是通过提供例子展开的。故选A。
【点睛】词义猜测题的答题技巧之一是在划线词或词组后观察是否有破折号或同位语从句，破折号起解释说明的作用，同位语从句则是用来解释从句前的名词的内容。比如第3题，根据第五段的Once a man with a pet monkey suspected that my story was a ploy — that I was an animal rights activist out to liberate his monkey.（有一次，一个带着一只宠物猴子的男人怀疑我的故事是一个计谋——我是一个动物权利活动家，想让他的猴子摆脱束缚）可知，居中的破折号后的句子是一个同位语从句，用来解释说明ploy的内容，作者在讲述自己的一个故事，却被人误以为自己是一名动物权利活动家，自己的故事被误以为是一个计谋，故划线的ploy相当于trick（计谋、诡计），故选B。
C
When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily (摇摆地) a few yards through the woods and fell again. After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time.
This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path (小径).
Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp (沼泽), and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.
There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.
When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.
The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.
8. The writer suggested that if the man had not been found, ________.
A. he would have been shot by a gun B. he would have become confused
C. he would have been attacked by wild animals D. he would have been in great danger
9. According to the text, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, ________.
A. he will worry about being laughed at
B. he will push himself to find his way out
C. he will feel sorry that he didn’t prepare well enough
D. he will feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends
10. The writer tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who________.
A. go into the woods by themselves B. keep their head when they are in trouble
C. are frightened when they think they are lost D. don’t know how to signal for help properly
11. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. A Man Lost in the Woods B. Timely Rescue in the Woods
C. Don’t Panic When Lost in the Woods D. A Pathfinder in the Woods
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了如何避免在森林中迷路，及当我们在森林中迷路时，要如何才能找到出路。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time.”（恐惧和疲劳使他的感官变得迟钝，以至于他听不到汽车驶过，在晚上看不到灯光。我们及时找到了他。）可知，恐惧和疲劳使男人的感官变得迟钝，以至于他听不到汽车驶过，在晚上看不到灯光，处境很危险，由此可知，如果这个人没有被找到，他会有很大的危险。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods.”（当这种情况发生时，正常第一反应是害怕因为他在森林里的知识贫乏而被嘲笑。）可知，如果一个人在森林中迷路，正常的第一反应是害怕被嘲笑。由此可知，如果一个人在森林中迷路，在一开始，他会担心被嘲笑。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost.”（这个人和他之前的其他人一样，当他知道自己迷路了时，只是感到害怕。）可知，这个人是一个当知道自己迷路了时，只是感到害怕的人，由此可知，作者讲述了这个迷路的人的故事，作为一个当人们认为自己迷路时，只是感到害怕的例子。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段关键句“Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation.”（不管一个人有什么方向感，这在很大程度上仍然是一个观察问题。）和最后一段内容“The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.”（有先见之明人很少处于危险之中。如果他仔细观察，提前思考，保持冷静，他会很安全。）可知，文章主要讲述了在森林中迷路时，要仔细观察，保持冷静，这样我们才能找到出路，“A Pathfinder in the Woods”意为“森林中的探路者”，选项能够概括文章主要内容，文章讲述的正是如何成为森林中的探路者。故选D项。
D
Many people struggle to keep their weight in check as getting older. Now new research at Karolinska Institute in Sweden has found that lipid turnover (脂质代谢) in the fat tissue (组织) decreases when people are getting older, which makes it easier to put on weight, even if we eat less or exercise more than before.
The scientists studied the fat cells in 54 men and women over an average period of 13 years. In that time, all subjects, regardless of whether they gained or lost weight, showed decreases in lipid turnover in the fat tissue, and that is the rate at which lipid (or fat) in the fat cells is removed and stored. Those who didn't make up for that by eating fewer calories gained weight by an average of 20 percent, according to the study done together with researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden and the University of Lyon in France.
The researchers also examined lipid turnover in 41 women who underwent bariatric surgery (减肥手术) and how the lipid turnover rate affected their ability to keep the weight off four to seven years after surgery. The result showed only those who had a low rate before the surgery managed to increase their lipid turnover and maintain their weight loss.
“For the first time, the results showed that processes in our fat tissue rule changes in body weight during aging in a way that is independent of other factors,” says Peter Arner, one of the study's main authors. "This could open up new ways to deal with obesity (肥胖).”
Earlier studies have shown one way to speed up the lipid turnover in the fat tissue is to exercise more. This new research supports this and further shows the long-term result of weight-loss surgery would improve if combined with increased physical activity.
Obesity and obesity-related diseases have become a global problem. Understanding the change in lipids and what rules the size of the fat mass in humans has never been so significant to us. Therefore, let's expect the researchers to have more findings in this field to help us keep a healthy body.
12. What's the study about?
A. How physical activities change body weight. B. Why people gain weight during aging.
C. Why people enjoy losing weight. D. How a balanced diet benefits us.
13. What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A. Men have a much higher lipid turnover rate than women.
B. The amount of fat tissue decreases with people getting older.
C. People with a low lipid turnover rate can lose weight surgically.
D. The study result was discovered by Swedish scientists independently.
14. What can be inferred from Peter Arner's words in Paragraph 4?
A. Scientists understand the lipid turnover rate for the first time.
B. Doing more exercise will surely increase the lipid turnover rate.
C. The lipid turnover has little connection with body weight.
D. Knowing about the lipid turnover rate may help treat obesity.
15. What is the author's attitude towards the research?
A. Favorable. B. Surprised. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲随着年龄的增长，在脂肪组织中脂质代谢会下降，这使得我们更容易增加体重。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“...lipid turnover(脂质代谢)in the fat tissue(组织)decreases when people are getting older, which makes it easier to put on weight, even if we eat less or exercise more than before.(随着年龄的增长，脂肪组织中脂质代谢会下降，这使得体重更容易增加，即使我们比以前吃得更少或锻炼更多。)”可知，这项研究是关于为什么人在衰老过程中体重增加。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第二段“The scientists studied the fat cells in 54 men and women over an average period of 13 years. In that time,all subjects,regardless of whether they gained or lost weight, showed decreases in lipid turnover in the fat tissue, and that is the rate at which lipid (or fat) in the fat cells is removed and stored.(科学家们在平均13年的时间里研究了54名男性和女性的脂肪细胞。在此期间，所有受试者，无论体重增加或减轻，都显示脂肪组织中的脂质周转率降低，即脂肪细胞中的脂质（或脂肪）被移除和储存的速率。)”可知，脂肪组织的数量随着年龄的增长而减少。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第四段“This could open up new ways to deal with obesity(肥胖).(这将为解决肥胖问题开辟新的途径。)”以及上文可知，从彼得·阿纳在第四段中的话可以推断出了解脂质转换率可能有助于治疗肥胖症。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Therefore, let's expect the researchers to have more findings in this field to help us keep a healthy body(因此，让我们期待研究人员在这个领域有更多的发现来帮助我们保持健康的身体。)”可知，作者对这项研究的态度是支持的。A.Favorable支持的；B.Surprised惊讶的；C.Negative否定的；D.Doubtful怀疑的。故选A项。

【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：在全班同学面前演讲时，他非常害羞。修饰形容词shy应用副词terribly，表示“非常”，作状语。故填terribly。
【37题详解】

【38题详解】

【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：事实上，随着他的信心的建立，他已经成为一个优秀的演说家。这里考查with的复合结构，名词his confidence与build up之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填built。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：事实上，随着他的信心的建立，他已经成为一个优秀的演说家。根据上文a great可知，应用名词的单数形式。故填speaker。

Yours
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Editor,
I’m writing to join your discussion on over-tourism. I think it brings a lot of harmful effects during the seasonal tourism peaks.
Firstly, over-tourism is harmful to the environment. With a large number of woods replaced by all kinds of hotels and scenic spots, the ecological balance has been broken. Besides, over-tourism worsens the transportation system, which has caused a series of traffic problems. What’s worse, the locals have to suffer from the rising costs of living as well as pressure coming from crowd, noise and waste management.
In my opinion, it is vital to keep the balance between the growth of tourism, the environmental protection and the locals’ well-being.
Yours,
Li Hua
