【原文】 M:Good afternoon! My name’s Carl and I work for one of the major companies in the High Street. I’ve been with them for about 13 years. People often ask me why I decided to do this job. As a young man I loved traveling and worked for a while as a salesman in Spain. When I came back to stay within the travel industry, my experience of working in tourist centres abroad helped me to get this job. I have to admit that one of the main reasons I wanted to be a travel agent was that we get cheap flights and holidays. It’s a great advantage! Basically I’m a sales person. I advise people on the holiday choices available to them. You know, different destinations, types of holiday, ways to get there, and so on. When a customer has decided what he wants, I book it for them and make any other arrangements they may need, such as car hire or tours. My duty doesn’t end there, though. If my customers are flying, I need to tell them what time they have to check in, and make sure they know what time they will be arriving. I also give information on likely weather conditions and anything else I think will be useful for them.

As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.
Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never agree because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. However, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I want to climb the stone walls.” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” The response was just as I’d expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.”I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back. ”For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. ”There’s only one person in this whole world like you,“ the kids will hear me say, ”and people can like you exactly as you are.
24. Why did the writer enjoy his visits to the farm?
A. There were old stone houses. B. He could experience new fun there.
C. He missed his grandfather. D. He was allowed to climb the stone walls.
25. Which pf the following statements is true?
A. The writer didn’t expect his parents’ disagreement with his climbing the walls.
B. The writer didn’t know the possible danger of the stone walls.
C. The writer’s grandfather backed him up to follow his own heart.
D. The writer became a TV program host due to his grandfather’s influence.
26. Which word can be used to describe the grandfather?
A. Adventurous. B. Open-minded.
C. Tricky. D. Stubborn.
27. Which is probably the best title for the text?
A. Unforgettable Childhood. B. Do Whatever You Like.
C. Just Be Yourself. D. Like grandfather, like grandson.

Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs have the mental capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t show the skills to win a round any time, they did show an understanding of some simple games. Performing well not by chance, the pigs appeared to recognize that the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well although they didn’t have flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.
That pigs can do this should give us pause about what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may influence them,” said Purdue University’s Dr Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.
Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only encouraging words from the experimenter” would make the pigs continue their training.
These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence and learning abilities of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also shown how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands.
As with any sentient (有感觉力的) beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them influences and matters to them. We therefore have a duty to further understand how pigs get information and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because this may help them understand their interactions with us and their environments.
28. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?
A. The pigs knew a lot about the video games.
B. The pigs operated joysticks with their noses.
C. The pigs competed with each other in the games.
D. The pigs sometimes performed well by chance.
29. What made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well?
A. Their being inspired by human words. B. Their being driven by food.
C. Their being willing to keep trying. D. Their being stopped by challenges.
30. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?
A Pigs can’t play video games for lack of flexible fingers.
B. When playing games, pigs can win a round at any time.
C. The research suggests that pigs are very friendly animals.
D. When games are difficult pigs are unwilling to play them.
31. What will researchers probably focus on in the next stage of their experiment ?
A. How pigs learn to play challenging games.
B. How pigs improve their learning ability.
C. How pigs manage to get information.
D. How pigs adapt to their living environment.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究新发现，猪有学习玩视频游戏的能力，由此展开更详细的研究过程，并指出接下来的研究方向。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen.(这项发表在《心理学前沿》上的研究测试了四只猪(哈姆雷特、煎蛋、乌木和象牙)用鼻子玩一个简单的操纵杆游戏的能力，将光标移动到屏幕上的四个目标上。)”可知，这些猪是用鼻子控制操纵杆的。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only encouraging words from the experimenter” would make the pigs continue their training.(研究人员还指出，虽然可以教猪用食物作为积极的动力来玩游戏，但它们对社交互动的反应也很好。事实上，当游戏变得更具挑战性，猪变得不愿意参与时，“只有实验者鼓励的话”才能让猪继续它们的训练。)”可知，作者举例说猪不愿玩稍困难的游戏时，鼓励的话会使它们继续玩来说明猪和人也有社交互动的。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only encouraging words from the experimenter” would make the pigs continue their training.(事实上，当游戏变得更具挑战性，猪变得不愿意参与时，“只有实验者鼓励的话”才能让猪继续它们的训练。)”可知，当游戏难度大一些时，猪们不愿意玩了，D项中difficult和该句中的challenging意义相近，participate in参与这个游戏，也就是玩这个游戏，所以D项内容符合文章提到的细节。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We therefore have a duty to further understand how pigs get information and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because this may help them understand their interactions with us and their environments.(因此，我们有责任进一步了解猪是如何获取信息的，以及它们能够学习和记忆什么，因为这可能有助于它们理解它们与我们和环境的相互作用。)”可推测，接下来这些研究人员将会对猪获取信息的方式方法进行研究。故选C。
D
A long-nosed fur seal that was tagged in Tasmania as a baby seal has suddenly turned up in Victoria 25 years later, causing a rethink of how long the animal can survive in the wild.
The male fur seal was tagged with an obvious “830” marking on its right side of the body in 1996. The marking recently caught the attention of Victorian wildlife officers who tried to find out where the seal was from and who once put the little seal there.
“We were excited to respond to this call and gain important updated information from research activities done more than 20 years ago,” said the Tasmanian Environment Department marine biologist Sam Thalmann.“Scientists used to think the animals can live for at most 19 years, but this sighting of the fur seal 25 years after it was marked provides exciting new knowledge about the longest lifespan for wild fur seals in Australia.” Mr Thalmann said the seal also surprised the researchers in other ways. “We see a lot of old male fur seals that are past their best years of health and move along the Tasmanian coast as they reach their end of life, but this seal tells another story,” he said. “Unlike others, it may continue to live in good health for years to come.”
Long-nosed fur seals are found around the coasts of southeastern Australia, southern NSW and New Zealand. The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment said long-nosed fur seals were once close to complete disappearance due to the fur trade in the 1800s. But in 1987, the species reappeared in Tasmanian waters and formed a breeding group on Maatsuyker Island, about 10km off the state’s south coast. In the wild, seals are eaten by several species of sharks including the white shark.
The species is now still protected and listed as rare under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act. But the number of this species is recovering fast. Now the total population in Tasmania is 4,000 to 4,500. About 1,000 baby seals are born annually there now. Australia-wide, the population is about 58,000.
32. What did the officers think about long-nosed fur seals after knowing about this one?
A. They have many secrets unknown to humans.
B. They have the strong ability to live independently.
C. They now have a much better living environment.
D. They can live much longer than people once believed.
33. What does the author mean by saying “this seal tells another story” in Paragraph 3?
A. This seal is still in good physical condition.
B. This seal is much older than other fur seals.
C. This seal draws more attention from researchers.
D. This seal never moves along the Tasmanian coast.
34. What almost led to the complete disappearance of long-nosed fur seals?
A. Having lost their natural homes. B. Being overhunted by humans.
C. Being killed by the white shark. D. Suffering from climate change.
35. How does the author most probably find the situation of long-nosed fur seals now?
A. Risky. B. Hopeful. C. Worrying. D. Shocking.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一只在塔斯马尼亚被贴上标签的长鼻海狗，25年后突然在维多利亚出现，引发了人们对这种动物在野外能存活多久的重新思考。文章介绍了这只长鼻海狗的一些相关情况以及数量恢复情况。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Scientists used to think the animals can live for at most 19 years, but this sighting of the fur seal 25 years after it was marked provides exciting new knowledge about the longest lifespan for wild fur seals in Australia.(科学家们过去认为这种动物最多能活19年，但这只长鼻海狗在被标记25年后再次出现，为我们提供了关于澳大利亚野生长鼻海狗寿命最长的令人兴奋的新知识)”可知，知道这只海狗后，官员们认为它们的寿命比人们曾经认为的要长得多。故选D。
【33题详解】
句意猜测题。根据第三段中“We see a lot of old male fur seals that are past their best years of health and move along the Tasmanian coast as they reach their end of life”以及“Unlike others, it may continue to live in good health for years to come.”可知，他说看到很多年老的雄性海狗已经度过了它们最好的健康岁月，在它们生命的尽头沿着塔斯马尼亚海岸移动，但这只长鼻海狗与其他动物不同，它可能会在未来几年继续健康地生活。所以可见这只海狗的身体状况仍然很好。故意思是“这只长鼻海狗的身体状况仍然很好”。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment said long-nosed fur seals were once close to complete disappearance due to the fur trade in the 1800s.(塔斯马尼亚初级工业、公园、水和环境部表示，由于19世纪的皮毛贸易，长鼻海狗一度接近完全消失)”可知，被人类过度捕杀几乎导致了长鼻海狗的完全消失。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But the number of this species is recovering fast. Now the total population in Tasmania is 4,000 to 4,500. About 1,000 baby seals are born annually there now. Australia-wide, the population is about 58,000.(但这个物种的数量正在迅速恢复。现在塔斯马尼亚的总数量是4000到4500只。现在那里每年大约有1000只小海豹出生。全澳大利亚的长鼻海狗数量约为5.8万)”可推知，作者认为现在长鼻海狗的情况还有希望。故选B。

Ask a group of kids about their favorite part of the school day and many will talk about something that happened at recess. Maybe they finally made it across the monkey bars (单杠). Maybe somebody kicked the ball over the fence. Maybe a fruit tree in a neighboring yard started to drop apples on the playground. ___36___
It’s true not just according to kids, but also to adults who study recess for kids. Whether they’re inventing a new game or sitting under a tree, kids need a break — or several of them — during the school day.
Why Kids Need Recess.
There's no debate that recess, or mainly referred to as physical activity, is good for kids.
You can’t have your brains go hours at a time and retain and store information in working memory. ___37___ Besides, activity that involves arms and legs — running, climbing, crawling — builds new neural connections, which helps kids regulate their emotions. Studies show that after recess children are more attentive in class, perform better and have fewer emotional problems.
How Much Recess Should Kids Get.
“Ideally, children should get four 15-minute recesses every day”, says Debbie Rhea, a professor from Texas Christian University, who advocates for outdoor play in schools. ___38___ It is noted that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently expanded the idea to encourage recess for all students, including those in middle and high school.
___39___
In addition to simply providing enough time for recess, schools should teach skills that will make recess more successful. For instance, letting kids run fast will help them develop coordination. ___40___. And even falling, is something kids need to practice to avoid getting badly hurt. To allow children to take reasonable risks with their bodies is also a wise move.
A. How to Make Recess Better.
B. Who should help kids recess.
C. You need time away to process it.
D. This recommendation has been widely accepted.
E. Any one of these things is a marker of a good recess.
F. Maybe running up the slide is not as unsafe as it looks.
G. We wouldn’t have kids sitting there for math or reading for long hours.
【答案】36. E 37. C 38. D 39. A 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孩子的课间休息活动。
【36题详解】
根据空前“Maybe they finally made it across the monkey bars (单杠). Maybe somebody kicked the ball over the fence. Maybe a fruit tree in a neighboring yard started to drop apples on the playground.(也许他们终于跨过了单杠。也许有人把球踢过了栅栏。也许邻居家院子里的一棵果树开始把苹果掉到操场上)”可知，作者先是列举了孩子们的课间休息方式，空格处位于段尾，应该是对空前内容的总结，E选项“Any one of these things is a marker of a good recess.(这些事情中的任何一件都是一个良好休息的标志)”对上文进行了总结，承接上文，符合语境，故选E。
【37题详解】
空前说“You can’t have your brains go hours at a time and retain and store information in working memory.(你不可能让你的大脑一次运转几个小时，并在工作记忆中保留和存储信息)”，空格处应该说你需要时间来慢慢处理信息，C选项“You need time away to process it.(你需要时间去处理它)”说明了你需要时间来处理信息，其中的it指代前面的information，“You need time away”和前面的“You can’t have your brains go hours at a time”相对应，因此C选项承接上文，符合语境，故选C。
【38题详解】
空前说““Ideally, children should get four 15-minute recesses every day”, says Debbie Rhea, a professor from Texas Christian University, who advocates for outdoor play in schools.(“理想情况下，孩子们每天应该有四次15分钟的休息时间，”德克萨斯州基督教大学的教授Debbie Rhea说，她倡导在学校进行户外活动)”，空后说“It is noted that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently expanded the idea to encourage recess for all students, including those in middle and high school.(值得注意的是，疾病控制和预防中心最近扩大了这一想法，鼓励所有学生休息，包括初中生和高中生)”，空格处应该说空前的建议是被人广为接受的，D选项“This recommendation has been widely accepted.(这一建议已被广泛接受)”说明了这个建议被人广为接受，其中的This recommendation指代空前的建议，“has been widely accepted”和空后的“expanded the idea”相对应，因此D选项承上启下，符合语境，故选D。
【39题详解】
空格处是本段小标题，由空后的“In addition to simply providing enough time for recess, schools should teach skills that will make recess more successful. For instance, letting kids run fast will help them develop coordination.(除了简单地提供足够的课间休息时间，学校还应该教授让课间休息更成功的技巧。例如，让孩子们跑得快有助于他们发展协调能力)”可知，本段主要讲的是提升课间休息的方式，A选项“How to Make Recess Better.(如何让休息变得更好)”概括了本段主要内容，可作为小标题，故选A。
【40题详解】
空后说“And even falling, is something kids need to practice to avoid getting badly hurt. To allow children to take reasonable risks with their bodies is also a wise move.(甚至摔倒也是孩子们需要练习的，以避免严重受伤。允许孩子们用自己的身体承担合理的风险也是明智之举)”，空格处应该说到某种有风险的学生的活动，F选项“Maybe running up the slide is not as unsafe as it looks.(也许滑滑梯并不像看上去那么不安全)”说明滑滑梯也是有风险的，和后文“risks with their bodies”相对应，因此F选项引起下文，符合语境，故选F。

56. How to ________ (creative) promote traditional Chinese culture to keep pace with the times has become an issue.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】creatively
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：如何创造性地弘扬中国传统文化以跟上时代的步伐已成为一个问题。副词修饰动词，作状语，“有创造力地”是creatively，修饰动词动词promote，故填creatively。

【答案】being trapped
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：如果有人在被困72小时后获救，将被视为奇迹。after是介词，后面用动名词，trap和逻辑主语someone是被动关系，用动名词的被动形式being trapped作宾语。故填being trapped。
58. The famous writer and his works ________ the radio broadcast have aroused great interest among the students. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：那位著名作家和他的作品在广播中引起了学生们的极大兴趣。句中先行词为The famous writer and his works ，既指人也指物，在定语从句中作宾语，只能用关系代词that引导。故填that。
59. Compared to that in the city, the air in the mountains is far better ________ (breathe) (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to breathe
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：与城市的空气相比，山上的空气更适合呼吸。be better to do sth.做某事更好。根据句意，故填to breathe。

【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：把孩子放在一个可以从不同角度看待自己的环境中是有帮助的。句中先行词为situation，在定语从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导。根据句意，故填where。
62. In ________ (compare) with others, the little girl shows considerable talent for music. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】comparison
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：与其他人相比，小女孩在音乐方面表现出相当大的天赋。分析句子可知，介词之后，该空应填名词作宾语，固定短语in comparison with意为“与……相比”符合句意。故填comparison。
63. They were not likely ________ (allow) their son to join the club. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to allow
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他们不大可能允许他们的儿子加入俱乐部。be likely to do sth.可能做某事。根据句意，故填to allow。

第二节(满分25 分)
67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I always wonder how people will react if I want a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a crowded station. I personally have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.
Yesterday I was stuck in such a hopeless situation where my only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall (中心) buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large, fancy, expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could help me telephone my driver. She replied, still all smiles, “I’m sorry, Sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remembering my wife’s interesting theory (理论) that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn’t see me.
I waited a bit longer in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on their face. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.
Paragraph 1:
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids. I thought that a beautiful woman with charming blue eyes must be willing to help me. So, with great expectation, I walked towards her with an appropriate smile on my face, and requested if she could be kind enough to make a phone call for me. However, without a word, she pulled her kids to escape from me, as if scared by a murderer. I stood there, hopeless, with a blank face and a sinking heart.
Paragraph 2:
Finally a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me. I squeezed a smile and requested him the same thing. Unexpectedly, he took out his mobile phone for me without hesitation. Dancing in his eyes was the real kindness that I had been struggling to look for so long. From that day on, I began helping other strangers in trouble, just like the poor-looking but kind man, with the aim of passing kindness and melting the ice in many people’s hearts.

【原文】 M:Good afternoon! My name’s Carl and I work for one of the major companies in the High Street. I’ve been with them for about 13 years. People often ask me why I decided to do this job. As a young man I loved traveling and worked for a while as a salesman in Spain. When I came back to stay within the travel industry, my experience of working in tourist centres abroad helped me to get this job. I have to admit that one of the main reasons I wanted to be a travel agent was that we get cheap flights and holidays. It’s a great advantage! Basically I’m a sales person. I advise people on the holiday choices available to them. You know, different destinations, types of holiday, ways to get there, and so on. When a customer has decided what he wants, I book it for them and make any other arrangements they may need, such as car hire or tours. My duty doesn’t end there, though. If my customers are flying, I need to tell them what time they have to check in, and make sure they know what time they will be arriving. I also give information on likely weather conditions and anything else I think will be useful for them.

As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.
Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never agree because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. However, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I want to climb the stone walls.” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” The response was just as I’d expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.”I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back. ”For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. ”There’s only one person in this whole world like you,“ the kids will hear me say, ”and people can like you exactly as you are.
24. Why did the writer enjoy his visits to the farm?
A. There were old stone houses. B. He could experience new fun there.
C. He missed his grandfather. D. He was allowed to climb the stone walls.
25. Which pf the following statements is true?
A. The writer didn’t expect his parents’ disagreement with his climbing the walls.
B. The writer didn’t know the possible danger of the stone walls.
C. The writer’s grandfather backed him up to follow his own heart.

Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs have the mental capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t show the skills to win a round any time, they did show an understanding of some simple games. Performing well not by chance, the pigs appeared to recognize that the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well although they didn’t have flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.
That pigs can do this should give us pause about what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may influence them,” said Purdue University’s Dr Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.
Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only encouraging words from the experimenter” would make the pigs continue their training.
These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence and learning abilities of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also shown how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands.
As with any sentient (有感觉力的) beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them influences and matters to them. We therefore have a duty to further understand how pigs get information and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because this may help them understand their interactions with us and their environments.
28. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?
A. The pigs knew a lot about the video games.
B. The pigs operated joysticks with their noses.
C. The pigs competed with each other in the games.
D. The pigs sometimes performed well by chance.
29. What made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well?
A. Their being inspired by human words. B. Their being driven by food.
C. Their being willing to keep trying. D. Their being stopped by challenges.
30. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?
A Pigs can’t play video games for lack of flexible fingers.
B. When playing games, pigs can win a round at any time.
C. The research suggests that pigs are very friendly animals.
D. When games are difficult pigs are unwilling to play them.
31. What will researchers probably focus on in the next stage of their experiment ?
A. How pigs learn to play challenging games.
B. How pigs improve their learning ability.
C. How pigs manage to get information.
D. How pigs adapt to their living environment.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究新发现，猪有学习玩视频游戏的能力，由此展开更详细的研究过程，并指出接下来的研究方向。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen.(这项发表在《心理学前沿》上的研究测试了四只猪(哈姆雷特、煎蛋、乌木和象牙)用鼻子玩一个简单的操纵杆游戏的能力，将光标移动到屏幕上的四个目标上。)”可知，这些猪是用鼻子控制操纵杆的。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only encouraging words from the experimenter” would make the pigs continue their training.(研究人员还指出，虽然可以教猪用食物作为积极的动力来玩游戏，但它们对社交互动的反应也很好。事实上，当游戏变得更具挑战性，猪变得不愿意参与时，“只有实验者鼓励的话”才能让猪继续它们的训练。)”可知，作者举例说猪不愿玩稍困难的游戏时，鼓励的话会使它们继续玩来说明猪和人也有社交互动的。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only encouraging words from the experimenter” would make the pigs continue their training.(事实上，当游戏变得更具挑战性，猪变得不愿意参与时，“只有实验者鼓励的话”才能让猪继续它们的训练。)”可知，当游戏难度大一些时，猪们不愿意玩了，D项中difficult和该句中的challenging意义相近，participate in参与这个游戏，也就是玩这个游戏，所以D项内容符合文章提到的细节。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We therefore have a duty to further understand how pigs get information and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because this may help them understand their interactions with us and their environments.(因此，我们有责任进一步了解猪是如何获取信息的，以及它们能够学习和记忆什么，因为这可能有助于它们理解它们与我们和环境的相互作用。)”可推测，接下来这些研究人员将会对猪获取信息的方式方法进行研究。故选C。
D
A long-nosed fur seal that was tagged in Tasmania as a baby seal has suddenly turned up in Victoria 25 years later, causing a rethink of how long the animal can survive in the wild.
The male fur seal was tagged with an obvious “830” marking on its right side of the body in 1996. The marking recently caught the attention of Victorian wildlife officers who tried to find out where the seal was from and who once put the little seal there.
“We were excited to respond to this call and gain important updated information from research activities done more than 20 years ago,” said the Tasmanian Environment Department marine biologist Sam Thalmann.“Scientists used to think the animals can live for at most 19 years, but this sighting of the fur seal 25 years after it was marked provides exciting new knowledge about the longest lifespan for wild fur seals in Australia.” Mr Thalmann said the seal also surprised the researchers in other ways. “We see a lot of old male fur seals that are past their best years of health and move along the Tasmanian coast as they reach their end of life, but this seal tells another story,” he said. “Unlike others, it may continue to live in good health for years to come.”
Long-nosed fur seals are found around the coasts of southeastern Australia, southern NSW and New Zealand. The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment said long-nosed fur seals were once close to complete disappearance due to the fur trade in the 1800s. But in 1987, the species reappeared in Tasmanian waters and formed a breeding group on Maatsuyker Island, about 10km off the state’s south coast. In the wild, seals are eaten by several species of sharks including the white shark.
The species is now still protected and listed as rare under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act. But the number of this species is recovering fast. Now the total population in Tasmania is 4,000 to 4,500. About 1,000 baby seals are born annually there now. Australia-wide, the population is about 58,000.
32. What did the officers think about long-nosed fur seals after knowing about this one?
A. They have many secrets unknown to humans.
B. They have the strong ability to live independently.
C. They now have a much better living environment.
D. They can live much longer than people once believed.
33. What does the author mean by saying “this seal tells another story” in Paragraph 3?
A. This seal is still in good physical condition.
B. This seal is much older than other fur seals.
C. This seal draws more attention from researchers.
D. This seal never moves along the Tasmanian coast.
34. What almost led to the complete disappearance of long-nosed fur seals?
A. Having lost their natural homes. B. Being overhunted by humans.
C. Being killed by the white shark. D. Suffering from climate change.
35. How does the author most probably find the situation of long-nosed fur seals now?
A. Risky. B. Hopeful. C. Worrying. D. Shocking.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一只在塔斯马尼亚被贴上标签的长鼻海狗，25年后突然在维多利亚出现，引发了人们对这种动物在野外能存活多久的重新思考。文章介绍了这只长鼻海狗的一些相关情况以及数量恢复情况。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Scientists used to think the animals can live for at most 19 years, but this sighting of the fur seal 25 years after it was marked provides exciting new knowledge about the longest lifespan for wild fur seals in Australia.(科学家们过去认为这种动物最多能活19年，但这只长鼻海狗在被标记25年后再次出现，为我们提供了关于澳大利亚野生长鼻海狗寿命最长的令人兴奋的新知识)”可知，知道这只海狗后，官员们认为它们的寿命比人们曾经认为的要长得多。故选D。
【33题详解】
句意猜测题。根据第三段中“We see a lot of old male fur seals that are past their best years of health and move along the Tasmanian coast as they reach their end of life”以及“Unlike others, it may continue to live in good health for years to come.”可知，他说看到很多年老的雄性海狗已经度过了它们最好的健康岁月，在它们生命的尽头沿着塔斯马尼亚海岸移动，但这只长鼻海狗与其他动物不同，它可能会在未来几年继续健康地生活。所以可见这只海狗的身体状况仍然很好。故意思是“这只长鼻海狗的身体状况仍然很好”。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment said long-nosed fur seals were once close to complete disappearance due to the fur trade in the 1800s.(塔斯马尼亚初级工业、公园、水和环境部表示，由于19世纪的皮毛贸易，长鼻海狗一度接近完全消失)”可知，被人类过度捕杀几乎导致了长鼻海狗的完全消失。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But the number of this species is recovering fast. Now the total population in Tasmania is 4,000 to 4,500. About 1,000 baby seals are born annually there now. Australia-wide, the population is about 58,000.(但这个物种的数量正在迅速恢复。现在塔斯马尼亚的总数量是4000到4500只。现在那里每年大约有1000只小海豹出生。全澳大利亚的长鼻海狗数量约为5.8万)”可推知，作者认为现在长鼻海狗的情况还有希望。故选B。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Recess for Kids
Ask a group of kids about their favorite part of the school day and many will talk about something that happened at recess. Maybe they finally made it across the monkey bars (单杠). Maybe somebody kicked the ball over the fence. Maybe a fruit tree in a neighboring yard started to drop apples on the playground. ___36___
It’s true not just according to kids, but also to adults who study recess for kids. Whether they’re inventing a new game or sitting under a tree, kids need a break — or several of them — during the school day.
Why Kids Need Recess.
There's no debate that recess, or mainly referred to as physical activity, is good for kids.
You can’t have your brains go hours at a time and retain and store information in working memory. ___37___ Besides, activity that involves arms and legs — running, climbing, crawling — builds new neural connections, which helps kids regulate their emotions. Studies show that after recess children are more attentive in class, perform better and have fewer emotional problems.
How Much Recess Should Kids Get.
“Ideally, children should get four 15-minute recesses every day”, says Debbie Rhea, a professor from Texas Christian University, who advocates for outdoor play in schools. ___38___ It is noted that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently expanded the idea to encourage recess for all students, including those in middle and high school.
___39___
In addition to simply providing enough time for recess, schools should teach skills that will make recess more successful. For instance, letting kids run fast will help them develop coordination. ___40___. And even falling, is something kids need to practice to avoid getting badly hurt. To allow children to take reasonable risks with their bodies is also a wise move.
A. How to Make Recess Better.
B. Who should help kids recess.
C. You need time away to process it.
D. This recommendation has been widely accepted.
E. Any one of these things is a marker of a good recess.
F. Maybe running up the slide is not as unsafe as it looks.
G. We wouldn’t have kids sitting there for math or reading for long hours.
【答案】36. E 37. C 38. D 39. A 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孩子的课间休息活动。
【36题详解】
根据空前“Maybe they finally made it across the monkey bars (单杠). Maybe somebody kicked the ball over the fence. Maybe a fruit tree in a neighboring yard started to drop apples on the playground.(也许他们终于跨过了单杠。也许有人把球踢过了栅栏。也许邻居家院子里的一棵果树开始把苹果掉到操场上)”可知，作者先是列举了孩子们的课间休息方式，空格处位于段尾，应该是对空前内容的总结，E选项“Any one of these things is a marker of a good recess.(这些事情中的任何一件都是一个良好休息的标志)”对上文进行了总结，承接上文，符合语境，故选E。
【37题详解】
空前说“You can’t have your brains go hours at a time and retain and store information in working memory.(你不可能让你的大脑一次运转几个小时，并在工作记忆中保留和存储信息)”，空格处应该说你需要时间来慢慢处理信息，C选项“You need time away to process it.(你需要时间去处理它)”说明了你需要时间来处理信息，其中的it指代前面的information，“You need time away”和前面的“You can’t have your brains go hours at a time”相对应，因此C选项承接上文，符合语境，故选C。
【38题详解】
空前说““Ideally, children should get four 15-minute recesses every day”, says Debbie Rhea, a professor from Texas Christian University, who advocates for outdoor play in schools.(“理想情况下，孩子们每天应该有四次15分钟的休息时间，”德克萨斯州基督教大学的教授Debbie Rhea说，她倡导在学校进行户外活动)”，空后说“It is noted that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently expanded the idea to encourage recess for all students, including those in middle and high school.(值得注意的是，疾病控制和预防中心最近扩大了这一想法，鼓励所有学生休息，包括初中生和高中生)”，空格处应该说空前的建议是被人广为接受的，D选项“This recommendation has been widely accepted.(这一建议已被广泛接受)”说明了这个建议被人广为接受，其中的This recommendation指代空前的建议，“has been widely accepted”和空后的“expanded the idea”相对应，因此D选项承上启下，符合语境，故选D。
【39题详解】
空格处是本段小标题，由空后的“In addition to simply providing enough time for recess, schools should teach skills that will make recess more successful. For instance, letting kids run fast will help them develop coordination.(除了简单地提供足够的课间休息时间，学校还应该教授让课间休息更成功的技巧。例如，让孩子们跑得快有助于他们发展协调能力)”可知，本段主要讲的是提升课间休息的方式，A选项“How to Make Recess Better.(如何让休息变得更好)”概括了本段主要内容，可作为小标题，故选A。
【40题详解】
空后说“And even falling, is something kids need to practice to avoid getting badly hurt. To allow children to take reasonable risks with their bodies is also a wise move.(甚至摔倒也是孩子们需要练习的，以避免严重受伤。允许孩子们用自己的身体承担合理的风险也是明智之举)”，空格处应该说到某种有风险的学生的活动，F选项“Maybe running up the slide is not as unsafe as it looks.(也许滑滑梯并不像看上去那么不安全)”说明滑滑梯也是有风险的，和后文“risks with their bodies”相对应，因此F选项引起下文，符合语境，故选F。

56. How to ________ (creative) promote traditional Chinese culture to keep pace with the times has become an issue.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】creatively
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：如何创造性地弘扬中国传统文化以跟上时代的步伐已成为一个问题。副词修饰动词，作状语，“有创造力地”是creatively，修饰动词动词promote，故填creatively。

【答案】being trapped
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：如果有人在被困72小时后获救，将被视为奇迹。after是介词，后面用动名词，trap和逻辑主语someone是被动关系，用动名词的被动形式being trapped作宾语。故填being trapped。
58. The famous writer and his works ________ the radio broadcast have aroused great interest among the students. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：那位著名作家和他的作品在广播中引起了学生们的极大兴趣。句中先行词为The famous writer and his works ，既指人也指物，在定语从句中作宾语，只能用关系代词that引导。故填that。
59. Compared to that in the city, the air in the mountains is far better ________ (breathe) (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to breathe
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：与城市的空气相比，山上的空气更适合呼吸。be better to do sth.做某事更好。根据句意，故填to breathe。

61. It’s helpful to put children in a situation ________ they can see themselves in different ways. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：把孩子放在一个可以从不同角度看待自己的环境中是有帮助的。句中先行词为situation，在定语从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导。根据句意，故填where。
62. In ________ (compare) with others, the little girl shows considerable talent for music. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】comparison
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：与其他人相比，小女孩在音乐方面表现出相当大的天赋。分析句子可知，介词之后，该空应填名词作宾语，固定短语in comparison with意为“与……相比”符合句意。故填comparison。
63. They were not likely ________ (allow) their son to join the club. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to allow
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他们不大可能允许他们的儿子加入俱乐部。be likely to do sth.可能做某事。根据句意，故填to allow。

【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：如果我们不保护这些传统，它们可能终有一天会消失。分析可知，空格处引导的是定语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，先行词time是时间，因此空格处用关系副词when引导定语从句，故填when。

【答案】as
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我爷爷喜欢谈论过去的美好时光，就像老年人一样。as is often the case with sb./sth.情况常常如此；这是常有的事，这是非限定性定语从句，as 是引导词，指代后面那个句子所表述的情况。 根据句意，故填as 。

第二节(满分25 分)
67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I always wonder how people will react if I want a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a crowded station. I personally have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.
Yesterday I was stuck in such a hopeless situation where my only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall (中心) buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large, fancy, expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could help me telephone my driver. She replied, still all smiles, “I’m sorry, Sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remembering my wife’s interesting theory (理论) that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn’t see me.
I waited a bit longer in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on their face. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.
Paragraph 1:
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids. I thought that a beautiful woman with charming blue eyes must be willing to help me. So, with great expectation, I walked towards her with an appropriate smile on my face, and requested if she could be kind enough to make a phone call for me. However, without a word, she pulled her kids to escape from me, as if scared by a murderer. I stood there, hopeless, with a blank face and a sinking heart.
Paragraph 2:
Finally a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me. I squeezed a smile and requested him the same thing. Unexpectedly, he took out his mobile phone for me without hesitation. Dancing in his eyes was the real kindness that I had been struggling to look for so long. From that day on, I began helping other strangers in trouble, just like the poor-looking but kind man, with the aim of passing kindness and melting the ice in many people’s hearts.
