Four Ways Your Cat Tries to Communicate with You

Cats are amazing creatures, and while they can’t talk to us, they certainly know how to communicate their needs and feelings. It’s just up to us to learn how to listen to what they are saying.

Meowing

Cats meow at their owners for several reasons, including: to ask for food, to greet people, to ask for attention, to let you know they want to go outside/come inside. In addition, elderly cats suffering from cognitive disfunction, similar to Alzheimer’s Disease (阿尔兹海默症) in humans, may meow due to becoming confused or disoriented, so we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us if your senior cat seems confused or is meowing more than usual.

Purring

While cats do purr as a sign of contentment, they also do it as a self-comforting mechanism when sick, stressed or injured. If your cat is purring but also showing signs that something may be wrong, like hiding more than usual or refusing food/water, they could be sick or in pain.

Tail Posture

If they hold their tail straight up and have relaxed fur they’re likely to feel happy or curious. But if their fur stands on end while their tail is straight, this indicates fear or anger. Holding the tail low or hidden between the legs indicates insecurity, and a tail that’s rapidly twitching back and forth suggests anxiety.

Rubbing

When your cat rubs against your legs or gives you head butts, they are telling you that they love you. That is not the only thing they are doing, though! Cats rub their bodies and cheeks against people and objects to mark their territory and to claim humans, other cats, and various objects as their own.

1. When cats are sick or in pain, what are they likely to do?

A. Meow at their owners. B. Rub against your legs.

C. Purr and refuse food. D. Hold their tail straight up.

2. What may a cat show when it hides its tail between legs?

A. Insecurity. B. Depression. C. Curiosity. D. Happiness.

3. Who provides this text most probably?

A. A cat sitter. B. A cat owner.

C. An animal shelter. D. A pet healthcare centre.

【答案】1. C    2. A    3. D

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了和宠物猫咪交流的四种方式。

【1题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中“If your cat is purring but also showing signs that something may be wrong, like hiding more than usual or refusing food/water, they could be sick or in pain.”（如果你的猫咪正在咕噜咕噜地叫，但同时也表现出可能出了问题的迹象，比如比平时藏得更多或者拒绝食物/水，它们可能生病了或者很痛苦。）可知，猫咪生病或很痛苦的时候，它们会咕噜咕噜叫或者拒绝食物。故选C。

【2题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Holding the tail low or hidden between the legs indicates insecurity, and a tail that’s rapidly twitching back and forth suggests anxiety.”（把尾巴放低或藏在两腿之间表示不安全感，尾巴快速来回抽动表示焦虑。）可知，当猫咪把尾巴藏在两腿之间，表示它们感觉到了不安全感。故选A。

【3题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章标题“Four Ways Your Cat Tries to Communicate with You”（你的猫试图和你交流的四种方式）及第一段“Cats are amazing creatures, and while they can’t talk to us, they certainly know how to communicate their needs and feelings. It’s just up to us to learn how to listen to what they are saying.”（猫是神奇的生物，虽然它们不能和我们说话，但它们当然知道如何交流它们的需求和感受。只有我们才能学会如何倾听它们所说的话。）可知，本文主要讲述了和宠物猫咪交流的四种方式，而了解猫咪的生活特点的只有宠物保健中心的工作人员熟悉，因而文章可能是宠物保健中心的人提供的。故选D。

B

At St. Francis High School in La Canada, Calif. ,there’s something to be said about math teacher Jim Connor.

Truth is, Connor can be a bit of a drudge. But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”

And for years, the kids thought that’s all there was to him — until last November, when senior Pat McGoldrick learned they didn’t know the half of him.

Pat was in charge of a student blood drive and had just come to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for a meeting. And he says it was weird: whenever he told someone he went to St. Francis High School, they all said, “Oh, you must know Jim Connor. Isn’t he wonderful? ”

“It was disbelief, really,” Pat says. “It was almost kind of finding this alter ego (另一面) that he has.” Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort their children.

“They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.”

“I just like them and relate to them somehow,” Connor says.

Connor has never been married; he has no kids of his own. But he has fallen hard for these babies.

“I’ve always respected him, but now it’s to an even different degree — really to the point where I try to emulate him,” Pat says. “He’s the epitome of a man of service.”

4. What do we learn from paragraph 2?

A. School can never be fun.

B. Connor is highly demanding.

C. Connor’s students drive him crazy.

D. Connor thinks education is for all.

5. What did Pat find out about Mr Connor?

A. Mr Connor donated blood as well as his time.

B. Mr Connor was awarded for his love toward babies.

C. Mr Connor used to he a very strict teacher.

D. Mr Connor had a unique teaching philosophy.

6. Which of the following is true about Mr. Connor?

A. He works two shifts every day for a living.

B. He has his alter ego in the eyes of his students all the time.

C. He has the ability to connect with those kids he holds.

D. He falls hard for those sick kids so he decided not to have his own.

7. What is the best title for the text?

A. Bonding with babies in need of love

B. A real lesson is life through learning calculus

C. Everybody keeps something under his hat

D. Tough teacher has a soft heart

【答案】4. B    5. A    6. C    7. D

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了加州拉加拿的圣弗朗西斯高中数学老师吉姆·康纳的故事。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”(但这位70岁的越战老兵说，他来这里不是为了娱乐学生。“当人们说学校应该是有趣的时候，我都快疯了，”他说。“我的意思是，如果可以的话当然很好，但你不能让学校变得有趣。”)”可知，康纳对学生要求很高。故选B。

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort their children. (在献血中心里，帕特发现一块牌子，上面列出了医院里所有的顶级献血者，包括记录保持者吉姆·康纳。然后，他发现了更难以置信的事情：只要康纳不用微积分折磨孩子，他就会去拥抱生病的婴儿。在过去的20年里，吉姆每周有3天在医院做志愿者，在父母不能做的时候参与到一项活动中来，抱着，喂着，安慰着他们的孩子)”可知，康纳先生不仅捐了血，还贡献了自己的时间。故选A。

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据第六段““They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.”(“他们往往会因为他而平静下来，”艾琳护士说。“他们往往和他在一起很放松。他们和他一起入睡。”)”可推知，康纳先生有能力和那些被他抱着的孩子们交流。故选C。

【7题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”(但这位70岁的越战老兵说，他来这里不是为了娱乐学生。“当人们说学校应该是有趣的时候，我都快疯了，”他说。“我的意思是，如果可以的话当然很好，但你不能让学校变得有趣。”)”可知，康纳对学生要求很高，是一位严格的老师。根据第五、六段内容可知，康纳先生还很有爱心，而且有能力和那些被他抱着的孩子们交流，有一颗柔软的心。由此可知，D项“Tough teacher has a soft heart(严厉的老师有一颗柔软的心)”符合文意，最适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

C

Yesterday, after a day of Zoom (视频会议软件) meetings in my living room, I stepped out for a walk leaving my teen son bored on the couch. Bleecker Street, usually packed with people, was sprinkled with only the occasional pedestrians. Bars and restaurants lining the street were dark. Stores with bright neon lights, doors open, beckoned for the rare passers-by to enter. After just a week of the Covid-19 pandemic, an afternoon walk in Greenwich Village neighborhood felt surreal.

But then I noticed a row of daffodils(水仙)reaching for the sun in the small triangle-shaped park by Minetta Lane. On the windows of a locked restaurant, in bright yellow paint, were the words “We love you, West Village. Take care of each other. ” My phone buzzed—a colleague sent a picture of her newborn baby just home from the hospital. I arrived home to find my son animated on the couch playing a video game virtually with his friends. Life, love, play, and human connection persist, even though our world has been tuned upside down.

In my welcome note to the new students in the Fall, I wrote that this year is about our college’s core values of inclusion, innovation, and impact and emphasized the power of interconnection. Today, these core values persist, with interconnection taking on even greater significance. Our collaborative spirit has always given us an advantage—academically, creatively, culturally, and now, remotely.

A wise person once told me that getting through a crisis is like being given a new hand of cards in the middle of a game. We are halfway through the semester, with new hands to play, but the game hasn’t changed. We will find new ways to continue to work, teach, create and learn. Let’s also continue the informal interactions that make us a community—the study groups, coffee dates, drop-ins just to say hello. In doing so, we will remain connected.

We will come together from spaces around the world, to meet this new reality. This is who we are. Nothing—not space, nor time—can keep us from moving forward, together.

8 What can be inferred from paragraph 1?

A. The Covid-19 pandemic is unstoppable.

B. The effects of the pandemic could be easily felt.

C. Nothing is the same except that the business goes slow as usual.

D. People have every reason to be worried about the future.

9. What does the writer include in paragraph 2?

A. Daily routines that seemed insignificant.

B. Reminders that the world has been changed.

C. Events that people can do during the pandemic.

D. Things or people that carry symbolic meanings.

10. What does the underlined word “collaborative” mean in paragraph 3?

A. Cooperative. B. Pioneering. C. Independent. D. Adventurous.

11. What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To express wisdom gained from previous experience.

B. To give people some tips on how to handle a crisis.

C. To deliver an uplifting message over the pandemic.

D. To encourage people to enjoy the great outdoors.

【答案】8. B    9. D    10. A    11. C

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述疫情发生后，人们的生活虽然发生了很多变化，但爱，连接沟通和人际关系都还在。作者写这篇文章的主要目的是为了在疫情期间传递令人振奋的信息

【8题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段“Yesterday, after a day of Zoom (视频会议软件) meetings in my living room, I stepped out for a walk. leaving my teen son bored on the couch. Bleecker Street, usually packed with people, was sprinkled with only the occasional pedestrians. Bars and restaurants lining the street were dark. Stores with bright neon lights, doors open, beckoned for the rare passers-by to enter. After just a week of the Covid-19 pandemic, an afternoon walk in Greenwich Village neighborhood felt surreal. (昨天，在客厅里开了一天的Zoom会议后，我出去散步。让我十几岁的儿子无聊地躺在沙发上。布利克街通常挤满了人，但昨天只偶尔有行人。街道两旁的酒吧和餐馆都很黑。商店里灯火通明，门开着，招手让难得的路人进入。新冠疫情发生仅一周后，下午在格林威治村附近散步感觉很怪异。)”可知，新冠疫情发生后，街道上只有很少的行人，酒吧和餐馆停业，商店没有顾客。通过这些描写，突显疫情的影响随处可见。故从第一段可推知疫情的影响很容易被感受到。故选B。

【9题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第二段“But then I noticed a row of daffodils(水仙)reaching for the sun in the small triangle-shaped park by Minetta Lane. On the windows of a locked restaurant, in bright yellow paint, were the words “We love you, West Village. Take care of each other. ” My phone buzzed—a colleague sent a picture of her newborn baby just home from the hospital. I arrived home to find my son animated on the couch playing a video game virtually with his friends. Life, love, play, and human connection persist, even though our world has been tuned upside down. (但后来我注意到一排水仙在Minetta Lane旁边的小三角形公园里面向太阳。在一家上锁的餐厅的窗户上，用明亮的黄色油漆写着“我们爱你，西村。互相照顾。“我的手机嗡嗡作响——一位同事发来了一张刚从医院回家的新生儿的照片。我回到家，发现我的儿子实际上坐在沙发上和他的朋友玩电子游戏。生活、爱、游戏和人际关系仍然存在，尽管我们的世界已经颠倒了。)”可知，虽然疫情的发生导致餐馆关业，路上行人罕至，但是我们生活中重要的事物——生活、爱情、游戏和人际关系仍然存在。商店老板在牌子上写的鼓励的话象征着关爱，同事在照顾新生儿象征着生活与家庭，儿子和朋友玩象征着人际关系和游戏，故推知第二段主要描写具有象征意义的人和事物。故选D。

【10题详解】

词句猜测题。根据第三段“In my welcome note to the new students in the Fall, I wrote that this year is about our college’s core values of inclusion, innovation, and impact and emphasized the power of interconnection. Today, these core values persist, with interconnection taking on even greater significance. (在我给秋季新生的欢迎信中，我写道：今年是关于我们学院包含的核心价值观，创新和影响，并强调了互联的力量。今天，这些核心价值观仍然存在，互联互通具有更大的意义。)”及第四段“We will find new ways to continue to work, teach, create and learn. Let’s also continue the informal interactions that make us a community—the study groups, coffee dates, drop-ins just to say hello. In doing so, we will remain connected. (我们将找到新的方法来继续工作，教学，创造和学习。让我们也继续非正式的互动，使我们成为一个团体——学习小组、咖啡约会、只是为了打个招呼的临时到访。通过这样做，我们将保持联系。)”可知，这两段强调疫情期间学院与学生互相连接，团结协作的关系。故推知collaborative与Cooperative意义一致，表示“合作的，协作的”，故选A。

【11题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段“Yesterday, after a day of Zoom (视频会议软件) meetings in my living room, I stepped out for a walk. leaving my teen son bored on the couch. Bleecker Street, usually packed with people, was sprinkled with only the occasional pedestrians. Bars and restaurants lining the street were dark.

This is who we are. Nothing—not space, nor time—can keep us from moving forward, together. (我们将从世界各地的空间聚集在一起，迎接这一新的现实。这就是我们。没有什么——不是空间，也不是时间——可以阻止我们一起前进。)”可知，疫情让餐馆闭店，街道上人迹罕至，但疫情无法阻止我们前进的脚步。故推知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是为了在疫情期间传递令人振奋的信息，故选C。

D

For most of our history, humans have been short, a study has found. Until around 150 years ago, few people grew taller than 170 centimetres.

Christiane Scheffler at the University of Potsdam and Michael Hermanussen in Altenhof have spent several years studying the height of people from a wide range of populations. In their latest paper, they combined an existing data of more than 6000 prehistoric human skeletons with multiple studies of more recent historical populations from Europe and the US. They also included their own data on 1666 present-day school children from Indonesia.

In the prehistoric populations, the maximum height for men was 165 to 170 centimetres, while women topped out at 160cm. Today, men in England have an average height of around 175 cm, while for women it is about 162 cm.

But there is significant variation between modern countries. The Indonesian school children in the study were shorter than similarly aged children from the US, despite being well-nourished.

Scheffler and Hermanussen argue that height can be a signal of dominance(显赫地位), so in societies where it is possible to move up through the social classes, evolution favours individuals who reach a greater height.

Subramanian at Harvard University isn’t convinced by the pair’s interpretation. His team previously showed that the best predictor of a child’s height is the height of their parents. This suggests that the influence of other factors, such as social mobility, is limited.

After assessing nearly 163,000 children living in 55 low and middle-income countries, Subramanian’s team found that 42.9 percent had poor nutrition but’ no ‘sign of stunting(阻碍发育) or other physical indicators of this fact.

This implies there is a lot of hidden malnutrition that doesn’t reveal itself through stunting. A person’s nutritional condition should be assessed by looking at their diet not their height, says Subramanian.

12. How did Scheffler and Hermanussen conduct the research?

A. Studying the skeletons of prehistoric human.

B. Combining existing data with recent research.

C. Assessing children living in various income areas.

D. Analyzing the results of other scientists’ researches.

13. What’s Subramanian’s attitude towards the explanation of Scheffler and Hermanussen?

A. Worried. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.

14. What can we infer from Subramanian’s study?

A. Poor nutrition delays physical development.

B A balanced diet contributes to growing taller.

C. High social classes can reach a greater height.

D. A human’s height has little to do with nutrition.

15. What is the text mainly about?

A. The significance that lies in nutrition.

B. The factors that influence human’s height.

C. The importance that humans attach to height.

D. The reasons why prehistoric humans were short.

【答案】12. B    13. C    14. D    15. B

【解析】

【导语】这还是一篇说明文。文章主要研究影响人类身高的因素。

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“In their latest paper, they combined an existing data of more than 6000 prehistoric human skeletons with multiple studies of more recent historical populations from Europe and the US. (在他们最新的论文中，他们将6000多个史前人类骨骼的现有数据与来自欧洲和美国的最新历史人口的多项研究相结合。)”可知，Scheffler和Hermanussen通过将现有数据与最新研究相结合的方法进行研究。故选B。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据第六段“Subramanian at Harvard University isn’t convinced by the pair’s interpretation. (哈佛大学的Subramanian并不相信这对两个人的解释。)”可知，Subramanian不相信Scheffler和Hermanussen的解释，持怀疑的态度。故选C。

【14题详解】

推理判断题。根据第七段“After assessing nearly 163,000 children living in 55 low and middle-income countries, Subramanian’s team found that 42.9 percent had poor nutrition but’ no ‘sign of stunting(阻碍发育) or other physical indicators of this fact. (在评估了生活在55个低收入和中等收入国家的近163000名儿童后，Subramanian的研究小组发现，42.9%的儿童营养不良，但没有阻碍发育或影响其他身体指标的迹象。)”可知，Subramanian的研究发现营养不良没有阻碍发育或影响其他身体指标的迹象。故推知人的身高和营养关系不大，故选D。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段“For most of our history, humans have been short, a study has found. Until around 150 years ago, few people grew taller than 170 centimetres. (一项研究发现，在我们历史的大部分时间里，人类都是矮的。直到大约150年前，很少有人长到170厘米以上。)”及第六段“His team previously showed that the best predictor of a child’s height is the height of their parents. This suggests that the influence of other factors, such as social mobility, is limited. (他的团队此前表明，孩子身高的最佳预测指标是父母的身高。这表明社会流动性等其他因素的影响是有限的。)”可知，文章主要研究影响人类身高的因素，故选B。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

My heart went out to the drama teacher I read about in a recent news item. Each parent from her class insisted that she cast their own child as Snow White. This reminded me of my seventh grade musical — “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom’s girlfriend. ____16____

For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. I also didn’t have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.

I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson, the Maid. I had to wear an ugly dress. And I had only one line to learn, “That’s what I say.” ____17____ Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat “That’s what I say” throughout the play.

At last, our production was put onstage. Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with “That’s what I say.” I hadn’t known that she — or I — could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along. ____18____

That night, I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a stand-out in a supporting role. Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dirt. ____19____ If everyone’s a star then nothing gets done. It’s all noise and chaos.

And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn’t know they wanted to be. ____20____

A. So it is in life.

B. It was not to be.

C. It was anything but a great part.

D. My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.

E. It took the entire cast to make a good show.

F. There was an advantage, in my opinion, though.

G. I would hope all children could be a hit in life.

【答案】16. B    17. F    18. D    19. A    20. G

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇叙议结合的文章。作者通过小时候一次戏剧表演中成功扮演了一个小角色的经历告诉我们生活中每个孩子都有机会取得成功。

【16题详解】

根据空格前的句子“I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom’s girlfriend.(我非常想扮演贝基这个角色，她是汤姆的女朋友)”可知，作者非常想扮演贝基这个角色，但是根据空格后的句子“For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. I also didn’t have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.(首先，贝基要唱很多次独唱，而我却不会唱歌。 我也没有像赢得这个角色的漂亮的琳达·赖特那样有长长的金色卷发)”可知，因为作者自身的条件，她演贝基这个角色是不可能的。由空格前后的内容可知，空格处的句子是一个承上启下的句子，所以B项“It was not to be.(这是不可能的)”符合题意。故选B项。

【17题详解】

根据空格后的句子“Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat “That’s what I say” throughout the play.(沃森小姐在舞台上有好几场戏，在整出戏中她都要重复说‘那就是我说的’)”和下文“Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat “That’s what I say” throughout the play.(沃森小姐在舞台上有好几场戏，在整个剧中都要重复“我就是这么说的”)”可知，作者虽然扮演的是个小角色，但是，作者认为对她来说是好事，因为她只需要说一句台词“那就是我说的”。所以F项“There was an advantage, in my opinion, though.(不过，在我看来，这还是有好处的)”符合题意，空格后的句子是对空格处句子的解释。故选F项。

【18题详解】

根据空格前的句子“Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with ‘That’s what I say.’ I hadn’t known that she — or I — could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along. (想象一下，每当我插嘴说‘我就是这么说的’时，沃森小姐都能让观众哄堂大笑，我有多惊讶。我不知道她——或者我——可以很有趣，也不知道她的这个角色在推进剧情中很重要)”可知，作者扮演的沃森小姐很受欢迎、很成功。所以D项“My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.(我的沃森小姐很受欢迎)”符合题意。故选D项。

【19题详解】

由空格前的句子“Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dirt.(在戏剧中，台上和后台的每个人都是必不可少的。如果没有每个人都各司其职，这出戏就会枯燥乏味)”可知，作者认为在戏剧中，台上和后台的每个人都是必不可少的。而根据空格后的句子“If everyone’s a star then nothing gets done. It’s all noise and chaos.(如果每个人都是明星，那么什么都做不了。到处都是噪音和混乱)”可知，作者把演戏和生活联系在一起，生活中也不可能人人都是明星。所以，空格处的句子应该是一个承上启下的句子，A项“So it is in life.(在生活中也是如此)”符合题意。故选A项。

【20题详解】

由第四段的句子“Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with ‘That’s what I say.’ I hadn’t known that she — or I — could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along. (想象一下，每当我插嘴说‘我就是这么说的’时，沃森小姐都能让观众哄堂大笑，我有多惊讶。我不知道她——或者我——可以很有趣，也不知道她的这个角色在推进剧情中很重要)”可知，作者扮演的沃森小姐很受欢迎、很成功。再由空格前的句子“And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn’t know they wanted to be.(所以我认为所有的孩子都应该有机会扮演沃森小姐，成为一个他们不知道自己想成为的人)”可知，作者认为所有的孩子都应该有机会扮演沃森小姐，也就是说所有的孩子都有机会成功。所以G项“I would hope all children could be a hit in life.(我希望所有的孩子都能在生活中成功)”符合题意。故选G项。

第二节(10个小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分)

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

An oncoming ice age made the ocean water cold and brought more nutrients, resulting in more food for large whales.

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。旨在介绍鲸鱼体积逐渐变大的原因。

【36题详解】

考查现在分词。句意：蓝鲸，体重甚至超过了最大的恐龙，是有史以来最大的动物。根据句意可知，动词weigh“重量为”与主语whales“鲸鱼”为主动关系，且此处为后置定语，故使用现在分词形式。故填weighing。

【37题详解】

考查介词。句意：它们可以长到30米长，重达13万公斤。根据句意可知，此处填介词to构成grow to，表示“长到多大多重”。故填to。

【38题详解】

考查连词。句意：但科学家们表示，数百万年来，它们都没有那么大。根据前文“They can grow to 30 meters long and be as heavy as 130,000 kilograms.（它们可以长到30米长，重达13万公斤。）”可知，前后两句指出鲸鱼重量不一样，形成了转折，故使用连词but或者yet。故填But/Yet。

【39题详解】

考查名词复数。句意：他和其他的研究人员最近就鲸鱼体型大小发表了一篇文章。根据句意可知，名词researcher“研究人员”前未出现表示单数形式的量词和冠词，故需要使用复数形式且有other修饰。故填researchers。

【40题详解】

考查冠词。句意：“鲸鱼好像从小型货车般大小变成比两辆校车还要长，Pyenson补充道。根据句意可知，空格处需要填写冠词the，构成the size of“…的大小”特指鲸鱼相当于后文提出的面包车的大小。故填the。

【41题详解】

考查不定式。句意：科学家们认为，地球气候的变化导致鲸鱼在大约300万年前变得如此庞大。根据句意可知，动词get“变成”要使用不定式形式，因为cause sb to do sth意为“导致某人做某事”符合语境。故填to get。

【42题详解】

考查副词。句意：这一变化导致食物变得更容易获得。根据句意可知，形容词easy“容易的”要使用副词形式easily，修饰后面的形容词available“可获得的”。故填easily。

【43题详解】

考查关系词。句意：能够快速吃掉大量食物的鲸鱼幸存下来，体型也变大了。根据句意可知，此处需要填写连词引导定语从句修饰先行词whales“鲨鱼”因为先行词为物，且在从句中作主语，故使用which和that皆可。故填that/which。

【44题详解】

考查形容词。句意：能够快速吃掉大量食物的鲸鱼幸存下来，体型也变大了。根据句意可知，吃得多的鲸鱼存活下来，而且前文一直探讨的是体积的变大，故此处形容词large“大的”应该使用比较级形式。故填larger。

【45题详解】

考查时态。句意：科学家们表示，在接下来的三四百万年里，蓝鲸的体型比原来大了10倍。根据句意可知，此处be“是”使用过去完成时，表示蓝鲸体积变大之前的体型，因为句中已经有一般过去时的谓语动词grew表示过去已经长了十倍；而主语they为复数，故使用had been。故填had been。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

On a late afternoon, Brandon finished feeding his cows on the farm and decided to go back with his two sons, Louie, 6, and Everett, 3. As they headed for the house, the two boys ran ahead of their father. Suddenly Brandon was aware he forgot to close the door of the barn (牲口棚). He told the boys to wait for him at the gate and returned to lock it. When he was at the gate minutes later, he saw only his youngest son.

“ Where’s Louie? ” he shouted.

“He fell in the hole!” Everett said.

Brandon quickly realized what had happened. Noooo, he thought. Louie can barely swim! He ran to the well and heard Louie splashing, trying not to . Instinctively, he jumped in.

Somehow Brandon managed to grab on to a pipe that ran down the side of the well, which slowed his fall and kept him from crushing (挤压) his son.

Finally, Brandon hit the freezing water at the bottom of the well. He popped his head out of the water and grabbed Louie, who was panicking and trying to stay afloat in water that was too deep for either of them to stand. Knowing they could tread (踩水) for only so long, Brandon lifted his son onto his chest as he packed his own back against the narrow walls for support.

“All right, Dad, you can pull us out now,” Louie said.

If only it were that easy. There was no way he could climb out. The pipe that he’d grabbed during his fall was too slippery to be of any use. There was only one way out.

Looking up to see Everett peering down at them from the top of the well, Brandon shouted, “Everett, you’re going to have to be a big boy and save us. Run to the road and stand by the mailbox until someone stops. Tell them we need help. ”

Everett did as he was told. He stood alone by the side of the road, waving to stop someone.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右;

Twenty minutes later, Louie emerged (出现), then Brandon, both cold and wet.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】paragraph 1：

    After a while, Chris and Mark, nearby farmers, were driving by the farm. Everett rushed towards them and stopped them, telling them what had happened. Hearing the accident from Everett, they picked him up and sped to Brandon house. Upon arrival, they quickly jumped off the truck and grabbed a long thick rope and then rush to the well.“Brandon,” they shouted,  “We are going to send a rope down to you.” “OK, I will send Louie up first.” Brandon shouted back, freezing down there.

paragraph 2:

Twenty minutes later, Louie emerged(出现), then Brandon, both cold and wet. Struggling to his feet, Brandon hugged the two farmers tightly, whispering “You save our lives! Thank you!” Yet, Mark said,“It was actually Everett who saved your lives. Without him, we wouldn’t have known the accident. Let alone the rescue! ”Words could not express his surprise when the father turned to the 3-year-old boy. Everett cried, rushing to Brandon and Louie. Brandon held them tightly in arms, cherishing them like never before, and tears welled up in the eyes of this tough guy. Finally, they thanked the two farmers Chris and Mark again.

【解析】

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Brandon喂完牛后和两个儿子Louie和Everett一起回家。Brandon关上牲口棚门后却发现大儿子不见了，问过小儿子Everett后得知Louie掉进了井里。于是Brandon跳进井里救Louie，但是因为水太深，两人都不能逃出。Brandon让井口的Everett到路边去寻求帮助。Everett答应了父亲，他站在路边。

【详解】1. 段落续写

①由第一段首句“过了一会儿，附近的农民克里斯和马克开车经过农场。”可知，第一段可描写两位农民在听到Everett的描述之后，两人加速开车到Brandon的农场救援两父子。

②由第二段首句“二十分钟后，路易出现了，然后是布兰登，又冷又湿。”可知，本段可描述两父子被救上来后，父亲感谢两位农民的救命之恩，而两位农民则说救他们父子俩的小儿子Everett。随后，父子三人相拥一起。

2. 续写线索

开车经过——了解情况——援救成功——感激——感恩。
