“What if I told you that I murdered Basil?”
“You couldn’t murder anyone, Dorian. He probably fell into the Seine from a bus. By the way, where’s that wonderful portrait he did of you? Oh! I remember now. You told me years ago that you sent it to Selby Manor and that it got lost or stolen on the way. What a pity! I wanted to buy it. I wish I had now.” Lord Henry said.
“I never really liked it,” said Dorian.
“How have you kept your youth, Dorian? You must have some secret. I’m only ten years older than you are, and I’m wrinkled and old. Please, tell me your secret. To get back my youth, I’d do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.”
When Dorian arrived home that night, he sent his servant to bed, and sat down on the sofa in the library. Then he began to think about his life.
“I’ve been an evil influence on my friends, and I’ve ruined the lives of many good young people,” he thought, “Ah! Why did I pray for the portrait to grow old, and for me to stay young? I worshiped beauty and eternal youth, but they ruined me. It’s better not to think of the past. Nothing can change that. I must think of the future. James Vane is dead. Alan Campbell is dead, too. He shot himself one night in his laboratory.”
“I’m safe now,” he continued. “Basil painted the portrait that ruined my life. I can’t forgive him for that. Everything is the portrait’s fault.”
He began to wonder about the portrait. “If I’m good, maybe the portrait will become beautiful again,” he thought. “I’ll go and look.”
He took the lamp from the table and went upstairs. As he unlocked the door, he smiled. “Yes, I’ll be good,” he thought, “I won’t be frightened of this portrait any more.”
He went upstairs to the room and locked the door. Then he pulled the purple cloth off the portrait. He gave a cry of pain. The portrait was more horrible. His face looked more evil. There was new blood on the hand and on the feet.
Dorian trembled with fear. Dorian looked round the room and saw the knife that stabbed Basil Hallward. It was bright and shining.
“This knife killed the artist, and now it will kill the artist’s work,” he thought.
He grabbed the knife, and then he stabbed the portrait with it.
24．What do we know about Lord Henry from the passage?
A．He doubted slightly whether Dorian murdered Basil.
B．He would do whatever he could to get back his youth.
C．The portrait he wanted to buy was stolen by Selby Manor.
D．The truth about how Dorian kept his youth was hidden from him.
25．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Dorian admitted he was badly affected by his friends.
B．Alan Campbell shot himself one night in his laboratory.
C．Dorian blamed his sufferings on the portrait and Basil.
D．Dorian wanted to kill himself so that the portrait could become normal.
26．What does the underlined word “worshiped” mean in paragraph 6?
A．Admired. B．Deserved. C．Maintained. D．Ignored.
27．Why did Dorian stab the portrait at the end of the story?
A．Because the portrait aroused too much curiosity of his friends.
B．Because the portrait reflecting his soul made him suffer great pain.
C．Because he was jealous of the portrait which would never grow old.
D．Because he thought the portrait would take his youth and beauty away.

Comfort food makes a person feel good. Food high in sugar or fat tends to improve mood by stimulating the brain’s reward system. So it makes sense that many of us may turn to food for comfort in times of stress. There’s some fascinating research that examines food as a source of comfort.However, the most interesting thing about this research may be that foods are far less comforting than we tend to believe they are.
Traci Mann, a professor of psychology, and colleagues conducted a series of study with college students. The researchers examined how much comfort foods actually improve mood. They provided students with one of the three foods that they had indicated were their top, personal comfort foods. After producing a negative mood by having them watch movie clips designed to increase their sadness, anger and anxiety, the researchers offered the students their comfort food.
They had to assess(评估) how they felt before and after they were supposedly comforted by ice cream, pizza or whatever they had indicated they typically ate to feel better. All of the students completed the study on two separate occasions: once when they were able to eat their comfort food and once when they were able to eat another food they liked, but they wouldn’t call a comfort food. The researchers found that comfort food did improve students’ moods—but only by a little bit and not more than the other food they liked.
In another study, comfort food was compared to no food at all, and students’ moods seemed to improve even when they didn’t eat anything—most likely just due to the passage of time.
The take-home message from the studies? While the comfort food may make the person feel better for the time being, it does little to address emotional problems. Of course, everyone can indulge (纵情)in a comfort food from time to time, but overall, aim for these instances to be the exception rather than the rule.
28．Which aspect of comfort food do Traci Mann’s studies focus on?
A．The means by which it affects mood. B．Its role in reducing negativity.
C．The extent to which it lifts mood. D．Its impact on physical health.
29．How were the studies carried out?
A．By comparing students’ feelings on different occasions.
B．By observing students’ different reactions to foods.
C．By analyzing questionnaires about comfort foods.
D．By collecting data about people from all walks of life
30．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A．To explain a rule. B．To introduce a concept.
C．To present a fact. D．To make a suggestion.
31．What is a suitable title for the text?
A．Feeling Negative? Try Comfort Food
B．Comfort Food May not Work Wonders
C．The Science behind Comfort Food
D．Comfort Food Tend to Be Unhealthy

Preamble of《China: Democracy that works》
Published by the State Council on December 4, 2021
Democracy is a common value of humanity and an ideal that has always been cherished by the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people.
This year marks the centenary of the CPC． Since its founding in 1921, the Party has taken wellbeing for the Chinese people and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its abiding goals, and has made continuous efforts to ensure the people’s status as masters of the country. China is a country with a feudal (封建的) history dating back several thousand years that descended into a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society after the Opium War of 1840. Over the past hundred years, the Party has led the people in realizing people’s democracy in China. The Chinese people now truly hold in their hands their own future and that of society and the country.
The people’s status as masters of the country is the essence of people’s democracy. Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, with a deeper understanding of China’s path to democracy and the political system, the Party has developed whole-process people’s democracy as a key concept and striven to translate it and relevant democratic values into effective institutions and concrete actions.
Whole-process people’s democracy integrates process-oriented democracy with results-oriented democracy, procedural democracy with substantive (本质上的) democracy, direct democracy with indirect democracy, and people’s democracy with the will of the state. It is a model of socialist democracy that covers all aspects of the democratic process and all sectors of society. It is a true democracy that works.
Democracy is a concrete phenomenon that is constantly evolving. Rooted in history, culture and tradition, it takes diverse forms and develops along the paths chosen by different peoples based on their exploration and innovation.
The best way to evaluate whether a country’s political system is democratic and efficient is to observe whether the succession of its leaders is orderly and in line with the law, whether all the people can manage state and social affairs and economic and cultural undertakings in conformity with legal provisions, whether the public can express their requirements without hindrance, whether all sectors can efficiently participate in the country’s political affairs, whether national decision-making can be conducted in a rational and democratic way, whether people of high caliber in all fields can be part of the national leadership and administrative systems through fair competition, whether the governing party is in charge of state affairs in accordance with the Constitution and the law, and whether the exercise of power can be kept under effective restraint and supervision.
Democracy is not a decorative ornament, but an instrument for addressing the issues that concern the people. Whether a country is democratic depends on whether its people are truly the masters of the country; whether the people have the right to vote, and more importantly, the right to participate extensively; whether they have been given verbal promises in elections, and more importantly, how many of these promises are fulfilled after elections; whether there are set political procedures and rules in state systems and laws, and more importantly, whether these systems and laws are truly enforced; whether the rules and procedures for the exercise of power are democratic, and more importantly, whether the exercise of power is genuinely subject to public scrutiny and checks.
Democracy is the right of the people in every country, rather than the prerogative of a few nations. Whether a country is democratic should be judged by its people, not dictated by a handful of outsiders. Whether a country is democratic should be acknowledged by the international community, not arbitrarily decided by a few self-appointed judges. There is no fixed model of democracy; it manifests itself in many forms. Assessing the myriad political systems in the world against a single yardstick and examining diverse political structures in monochrome are in themselves undemocratic.
In the richly diverse world, democracy comes in many forms. China’s democracy is thriving alongside those of other countries in the garden of civilizations. China stands ready to contribute its experience and strength to global political progress through cooperation and mutual learning.
32．Which of the following is the foundation of people’s democracy in China?
A．Fighting against the feudal power which held the nation backwards.
B．Striving to translate Whole-process democracy and relevant democratic values into effective institutions and concrete actions.
C．Asserting their power to rule the country effectively.
D．Ensuring that the public can express their requirements without hindrance and all sectors can efficiently participate in the country’s political affairs.
33．In which way could we tell if a country is in most aspects,ensuring people’s political life fully democratic?
A．Its democracy being rooted in history, culture and tradition as well as taking diverse forms based on exploration and innovation.
B．Even a little bit of shade from the feudal history has been swept away while continuously revoluting its democracy for the better.
C．Teenagers willing to take an active part in political activities such as the Simulated CPPCC．
D．People are able to exercise their rights within the scope of the law unhinderedly (不受阻地).
34．How can we better enjoy the advantage of Whole-process people’s democracy?
A．Observing whether the succession of its leaders is orderly and in line with the law.
B．Raising our status as masters of the country with concrete actions.
C．Always innovating for a better future, not only for ourselves but also for our democracy.
D．Persisting in the Party’s strong leadership.
35．What is the main idea of this paragraph?
A．A full and accurate foreword introducing existing circumstances of democracy.
B．An informative official document giving people knowledge on democracy in China.
C．An introduction of how democracy works in China.
D．Telling people what are thus how to distinguish various kinds of democracy.


五、七选五
Are you the kind of person who hated school? Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning? He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctorate! 36 The word comes from Greek with “phil” meaning “a lover of” and “math” meaning “learning”.
Humans are all philomaths to an extent – our brain is born to be curious. We want to learn and understand, partly to make sense of the world but also because of something called neoteny. This is a term that refers to the teenage characteristics of some animals, including humans, being preserved into adulthood. One of these traits is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible. 37 While creatures like monkeys can’t do this and only learn during their adolescence.
But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can’t stand it. 38 Why is this? Educational anthropologists have suggested that if a concept or idea is too complex or dull, it becomes harder to link old and new ideas together. 39 This negative experience of education at school may lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.  
40 Evolution has made us lifelong learners, so take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath. Who knows what you could achieve?
A．Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless.
B．Because of this trait, our brains are able to recognize different shapes.
C．If that’s the case, we lose motivation and absorb less information.
D．If you’re also passionate about studying, you might be a philomath.
E．Many students think it is inspiring to learn something about “philomath”.
F．So, don’t let a bad educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult.
G．This gives us the ability to learn throughout our lives.

Since 1960, considerable scientific researches have been done on chimps in their natural habitats. Astonishingly, scientists have found out that the social 41 of Chimps are very similar to humans. Chimps will 42 in certain ways, like gathering together to protect their land. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to 43 one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly 44 to share food with their children. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food?
In the laboratory, chimps don’t 45 share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull 46 -he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.
Human children, 47 , are extremely cooperative. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this 48 in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a worried adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.
There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally 49 in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very 50 age before most parents have started to train their children to behave 51 . Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence 52 in children before their general cognitive(认知的) skills, at least when compared with chimps. In tests conducted by Tomasello, the human children did no better than the chimps on the 53 world tests but were considerably better at understanding the social world.
The core (核心) of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can 54 what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that intends to work toward a(n) 55 goal.
41．A．structures B．responsibilities C．policies D．behaviors
42．A．conflict B．offend C．cooperate D．discuss
43．A．help B．contact C．divide D．trust
44．A．manage B．decline C．attempt D．force
45．A．curiously B．unwillingly C．naturally D．carelessly
46．A．in turn B．with care C．at random D．in advance
47．A．all in all B．as a result C．in no case D．on the other hand
48．A．cooperativeness B．availability C．attack D．attractiveness
49．A．educated B．possessed C．motivated D．stimulated
50．A．old B．young C．middle D．late
51．A．creatively B．formally C．competitively D．socially
52．A．develops B．decreases C．changes D．disappears
53．A．invisible B．abstract C．physical D．imaginary
54．A．infer B．adapt C．absorb D．balance
55．A．realistic B．shared C．specific D．ambitious

Chongqing is famous for its hot pot.

It covers an area of 3, 300 square meters, and most diners require directions to find their 57 (reserve) tables.

Alexis Langlois, who manages a large farm, heard her neighbor crazily knocking on her front door on a Monday afternoon.
“There’s an emergency”, Amber Countryman yelled. “The horses are stuck in the water.” Langlois was struck with “absolute panic”. She threw on her winter boots — without socks — and rushed toward the small pond on the 80-acre property. She was surprised by what she saw: four horses were in the water up to their necks in10 feet of ice water.
She immediately called 911.While waiting for help to arrive, “people just started showing up,” she said. “Neighbors were pouring in. People came with ropes, chainsaws, shovels and pick axes.”
“I grabbed a bunch of supplies,” said Countryman, whose two teenagers and their friend also as sited with the effort.
“It was-8℃that day,” she said, adding that she brought out handwarmers and water for the helpers.
Everyone was determined to get the horses out of the pond — which is about 15feetwide.
Beneath a six-inch layer of ice, the water was “just barely above freezing”, said Chris Yerkes, the South Kalispell Fire Department chief who rushed to the pond with about a dozen volunteer personnel.
When the firefighters arrived, neighbors had already attempted to pave a path through the ice toward the edge of the pond using pick axes, sledgehammers and shovels, and “we continued with that effort.” Yerkes said. Unfortunately, “as we got closer to the edge, we realized there was about three to four inches of mud.”
The thick layer of mud — which the rescuers couldn’t cut through — blocked the horses from climbing out. Firefighters enlisted additional support from Flathead County Animal Control, as well as staff from local equestrian organization Rebecca Farm.
“There had to have been at least 60 people here,” Langlois said. “It was very swift action on everybody’s part.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1
It took nearly two hours to find a workable solution that could bring all four horses to safety.

Paragraph 2
To get the horses out, they used a powerful tractor (拖拉机) to get the animals out of the mud and ropes to pull them over the edge.

Hello, everyone. Today I’d like to share with you the celebration of Janice’s birthday. Janice was turning 21 years old. Originally, she wanted to go to Las Vegas to celebrate. A lot of people go there for their 21st birthday because in the United States you can legally drink at 21. However, Janice decided not to go because she wanted to save money to buy a new car. Janice decided that she just wanted to go to a nice restaurant with her friends. Janice’s birthday was on a Tuesday. When she and her friend Austin met up at work, she thought he would wish her a happy birthday, but he didn’t. Austin had known her for years and he would always remember her birthday. Janice tried to remind him indirectly. “I wonder what day today is,” she said. “Just a Tuesday, nothing special.” Janice was upset, ignoring him during work. When Janice got home after work, her friend Liza called her and asked her to open the door. “I don’t want to go out anymore,” Janice said. “Can you just open the door? We’re already here,” Liza said.

【导语】本文是一篇小说节选。多里安切断了他的脸和内心、他的外表和内在世界的联系。他的脸没有改变，总是年轻、漂亮。但是这幅画像——用爱的画笔描绘的画像——却在讲述着真实的故事。它才是真实的多里安·格雷——一天天变老、变丑并满怀恨意。
24．推理判断题。根据第四段中“You must have some secret. I’m only ten years older than you are, and I’m wrinkled and old. Please, tell me your secret.（你一定有什么秘密。我只比你大十岁，而且我又皱又老。请告诉我你的秘密。）”可知，亨利勋爵不知道多里安保持年轻的秘密，故选择D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章讨论了Traci Mann教授和她的同事们关于安慰食物对改善情绪的影响的一系列研究。通过研究发现，文章建议，虽然偶尔放纵一下安慰食物是可以的，但不应该依赖它来解决情感问题。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段结尾处“However, the most interesting thing about this research may be that foods are far less comforting than we tend to believe they are.(然而，这项研究最有趣的地方可能是，食物远没有我们想象的能让我们那么舒适。)”以及第二段中“Traci Mann, a professor of psychology, and colleagues conducted a series of study with college students. The researchers examined how much comfort foods actually improve mood.(心理学教授Traci Mann及其同事对大学生进行了一系列研究。研究人员调查了多少安慰性食物能真正改善情绪。)”可知，Traci Mann的研究集中在安慰食物提升情绪的程度方面。故选C。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段中“They provided students with one of the three foods that they had indicated were their top, personal comfort foods. After producing a negative mood by having them watch movie clips designed to increase their sadness, anger and anxiety, the researchers offered the students their comfort food.(他们给学生们提供了三种食物中的一种，他们指出这三种食物是他们最喜欢的、个人的安慰食物。让他们观看旨在增加悲伤情绪的电影片段，从而产生消极情绪。愤怒和焦虑，研究人员给学生们提供了安慰食物。)”以及第四段中“They had to assess(评估) how they felt before and after they were supposedly comforted by ice cream, pizza or whatever they had indicated they typically ate to feel better. (他们必须评估他们在吃冰淇淋、披萨或任何他们认为能让他们感觉更好的东西之前和之后的感觉。)”可知，实验是通过比较学生在不同场合的感受而开展的。故选A。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While the comfort food may make the person feel better for the time being, it does little to address emotional problems. Of course, everyone can indulge (纵情)in a comfort food from time to time, but overall, aim for these instances to be the exception rather than the rule.(虽然安慰食物可能会让人暂时感觉好一些，但它对解决情绪问题几乎没有作用。当然，每个人都可以偶尔放纵一下，但总的来说，这些都是例外，而不是规则。)”可知，作者在最后一段中给出建议不要过度依赖于安慰食物来解决情绪问题。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。这篇文章讨论了Traci Mann教授和她的同事们关于安慰食物对改善情绪的影响的一系列研究。研究发现，虽然安慰食物可以略微提升情绪，但它并不比人们喜欢的其他食物更有效。另一项实验表明，即使不吃任何食物，情绪也会随着时间的推移而改善。这篇文章建议，虽然偶尔放纵一下安慰食物是可以的，但不应该依赖它来解决情感问题。B选项“Comfort Food May not Work Wonders(安慰食物可能不会产生奇迹)”概括文章标题。故选B。

(全过程人民民主将过程民主与结果民主、程序民主与实质民主、直接民主与间接民主、人民民主与国家意志相结合。它是一个涵盖民主进程各方面和社会各阶层的社会主义民主模式。这是一个真正的民主制度)”可知，这段话的大意是完整而准确的前言介绍了民主的现状。故选A。

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。人类的“神经可塑性”帮助我们大脑保持灵活，进行终身学习，但由于学校学习内容概念的复杂或沉闷，导致很多人经历了消极的学习体验。然而，我们应该利用自身的生理优势，成为学习爱好者。
【详解】1.空后“The word comes from Greek with “phil” meaning “a lover of” and “math” meaning “learning”.(这个词来自希腊语，“phil”意为“热爱的人”，“math”意为“学习”)”可知，空后一句是空处对应单词的解释，该单词为“philomath”，前文“Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning? He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctorate!(还是你更像迈克尔·尼科尔森，学个不停？他目前拥有30个学位，包括22个硕士学位和一个博士学位)”表明Michael Nicholson是十分热爱学习的人；D选项“If you’re also passionate about studying, you might be a philomath.(如果你对学习也充满热情，你可能会成为一个学习爱好者)”符合语境。故选D项。
2.由空前“This is a term that refers to the teenage characteristics of some animals, including humans, being preserved into adulthood. One of these traits is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible.(这是一个术语，指的是一些动物，包括人类的青少年特征，被保存到成年。其中一个特征是神经可塑性，它帮助我们的大脑保持灵活)”说明动物中的神经可塑性能帮助大脑一直处于灵活状态，后文“While creatures like monkeys can’t do this and only learn during their adolescence.(而像猴子这样的动物不能做到这一点，只能在青春期学习)”表示猴子做不到，前后进行对比；G选项“This gives us the ability to learn throughout our lives.(这给了我们一生学习的能力)”中This表示前文的特征，能够帮助我们终身学习。故选G项。
3.空前“But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can’t stand it.(但是对于每一个热爱学习的人来说，也有很多人无法忍受学习)”表示热爱学习的人也有无法忍受的时候，空后“Why is this? Educational anthropologists have suggested that if a concept or idea is too complex or dull, it becomes harder to link old and new ideas together.(为什么会这样？教育人类学家认为，如果一个概念或想法过于复杂或沉闷，就很难将新旧思想联系起来)”对空处的一种现象解释原因；A选项“Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless.(许多人记得他们的学生时代是无聊的，甚至是毫无意义的)”表明学生时代的学习有时候是无聊，甚至是无意义的，无法忍受的，符合语境。故选A项。
空前“Educational anthropologists have suggested that if a concept or idea is too complex or dull, it becomes harder to link old and new ideas together.(教育人类学家认为，如果一个概念或想法过于复杂或沉闷，就很难将新旧思想联系起来)”表明概念或者想法过于复杂或沉闷，会带来学习上的困难，空后“This negative experience of education at school may lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.(这种消极的学校教育经历可能会导致人们在以后的生活中避免学习机会)”描述消极的学习经历会导致人们更不喜欢学习；C选项“If that’s the case, we lose motivation and absorb less information.(如果是这样的话，我们就会失去动力，吸收的信息也会减少)”为消极学习经历产生的结果，符合语境。故选C项。
5.此空需承上启下，总结前文。上一段在讲消极的学习经历，空后“Evolution has made us lifelong learners, so take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath.(进化使我们成为终身学习者，所以利用你的生理特征，发现你内心的学习爱好者)”表示我们应利用与生俱来的生理特点帮助学习；F选项“So, don’t let a bad educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult.(So, don’t let a bad educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult.(所以，不要让糟糕的教育经历阻碍你成年后学到新的东西)”为对于上文出现的改善消极学习经历的建议，符合此处语境。故选F项。

44．考查动词词义辨析。句意：甚至黑猩猩妈妈也经常拒绝与孩子分享食物。A. manage设法做成；B. decline拒绝；C. attempt尝试；D. force迫使。攻击上文“But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct to 3 one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves.”可知，野生黑猩猩自己寻找食物，它们几乎不会互相帮助，所以黑猩猩妈妈也会拒绝与孩子分享食物，把食物只留给自己。故选B。
45．考查副词词义辨析。句意：在实验室里，黑猩猩也不会自然地分享食物。A. curiously好奇地；B. unwillingly不情愿地；C. naturally自然地；D. carelessly粗心地。上文“But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct to 3 one another.”可知，说除了作为社会人的最低要求之外，黑猩猩几乎没有互相帮助的本能，在实验室里，它们也不会自然而然地分享食物。故选C。
46．考查介词短语辨析。句意：如果一只黑猩猩被关在笼子里，在那里它可以为自己拉进一盘食物，或者不费多大的力气就可以拉一盘食物给隔壁笼子的邻居，它只会随意拉——只是不在乎邻居是否被喂饱。A. in turn轮流；B. with care小心地；C. at random随意地、胡乱；D. in advance事先。根据下文“he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not.”可知，即使是毫不费力地拉一盘食物给隔壁的邻居，它也不会在乎邻居是否被喂饱，这说明它只是随意地拉。故选C。
47．考查介词短语辨析。另一方面，人类儿童从很小的时候就非常合作，他们决定帮助他人，分享信息，参与实现共同目标。A. all in all总而言之；B. as a result结果；C. in no case决不；D. on the other hand另一方面。根据上文“In the laboratory, chimps don’t 5 share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull   6 —he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.”和下文“are extremely cooperative. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals.”可知，上文介绍的是黑猩猩的行为，下文介绍的是人类的行为，与黑猩猩的行为形成对比，用on the other hand构成对比。故选D。
48．考查名词词义辨析。句意：心理学家迈克尔托马塞洛在一系列针对幼儿的实验中研究了这种合作性。A. cooperativeness合作（性）；B. availability可用性；C. attack攻击；D. attractiveness吸引力。根据上文“From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals.”可知，说人类儿童在很小的时候就知道合作，所以心理学家迈克尔托马塞洛在实验中研究了这种合作性。故选A。
49．考查动词词义辨析。句意：有几个理由让我们相信，帮助、告知和分享的冲动不是教出来的，而是小孩子天生就有的。A. educated教育；B. possessed拥有；C. motivated激发；D. stimulated促进。根据上文“the urges to help, inform and share are not taught”可知，人类儿童很小的时候就知道合作的这些行为不是教出来的，而是生来就有的本能。故选B。
50．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：一个理由是这些本能在很小的时候就出现了，在大多数父母开始训练他们的孩子学会社交之前。A. old旧的；B. young年轻的；C. middle中间的；D. late迟的。根据上文“the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally 9 in young children.”可知，这些本能行为不是教出来的，而是生来就有的，所以是在人类很小的时候就出现了。故选B。
51．考查副词词义辨析。句意：见第10题详解。A. creatively创造性地；B. formally正式地；C. competitively竞争地；D. socially社交方面。根据上文“There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally 9 in young children.”可知，帮助、告知和分享都属于社交行为，此处指父母教他们的孩子学习社交之前，他们已经知道怎么做了。故选D。
52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：第三个原因是，社会智力的发展早于一般认知能力的发展，至少与黑猩猩相比是这样。A. develops发展、养成；B. decreases减少；C. changes改变；D. disappears消失。根据上文“There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally 9 in young children.”可知，人类儿童从很小的时候就知道合作和帮助，人们认为这是因为社会智力的发展早于一般认知能力的发展。故选A。
53．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在托马塞洛进行的测试中，人类儿童在物理世界测试中并不比黑猩猩表现得更好，但在理解社交世界方面表现得要好得多。A. invisible看不见的；B. abstract抽象的；C. physical物质的、物理的；D. imaginary虚构的。根据下文“the social world”可知，与社会世界相对的应该是物理世界。故选C。

55．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他们积极寻求成为“我们”的一部分，一个致力于实现共同目标的团体。A. realistic实际的；B. shared共享的；C. specific特定的；D. ambitious野心勃勃的。根据上文“But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose.”可知，即使是很小的孩子也希望成为共同目标的一部分，所以他们会为实现加入有共同目标的团体而努力。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一家著名的餐厅——重庆枇杷园火锅店。
56．考查冠词。句意：有成千上万的餐厅专门提供辛辣的菜肴供你选择，但如果你想寻找最令人印象深刻的，那就去琵琶园，这是一家坐落在一座大山上的巨大餐厅。restaurant意为“餐厅”，为可数名词，此处为第一次出现，所以应用不定冠词表示泛指。故填a。
57．考查过去分词。句意：它占地3300平方米，大多数食客需要指引才能找到他们预定的桌子。动词reserve意为“预定”，和谓语之间没有连词，和逻辑主语tables构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词形式作定语。故填reserved。
58．考查一般现在时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意：由于它的规模，加上它坐落在陡峭的山坡上，食客们从山脚下的停车场出发，最多需要30分钟才能到达888张可用桌子中的一张。此处描述客观事实，所以应用一般现在时。动词place意为“放置”，和主语构成被动关系。主语it为第三人称单数。故填is placed。

61．考查副词。句意：事实上，尽管这家餐厅的容量很大，但如果没有预订，你不可能找到一张桌子。此处应用副词possibly表示“可能地”作状语修饰动词find。故填possibly。
62．考查连词。句意：你可以想象，每天煮几吨火锅，并提供给成千上万的食客需要大量的工作人员。动名词短语“cooking several tons of hot pot every day”和“offering it to thousands of diners”构成并列关系，所以应用连词and。故填and。
63．考查现在完成时和主谓一致。句意：据报道，到目前为止，它已经雇佣了数百名服务员、数十名厨师、数十名厨房工作人员，以及超过25名收银员。根据so far可知，此处应用现在完成时。主语it为第三人称单数。故填has hired。

65．考查名词复数。句意：在琵琶园，上菜的时间可能有点长，但新鲜的食材、温和的香料和山上的景色能让游客保持耐心。tourist意为“游客”，为可数名词，根据句意可知，此处是指很多游客，所以应用复数形式。故填tourists。
66．Dear Jerry,
Knowing that you are interested in Chinese culture, I’d like to recommend to you our school’s online course Appreciation of Chinese Traditional Opera.
The course, which aims to bring authentic Chinese traditional opera for students both at home and abroad, is scheduled to be available in September on our school website, which will get updated every Monday morning. In this course, you will get to know the history and various types of Chinese opera, which are all of unique characteristics. Kunqu Opera, for example, is well-known for its poctic language and delicate movements. Moreover, it will introduce the music in opera, which is usually accompanied by traditional Chinese instruments like erhu. The most attractive part, in my opinion, is the fancy costumes and makeup. In a word, the course is a good chance for you to deepen your understanding of Chinese traditional culture.
I do hope my recommendation can be of help.
Yours,
Li Hua

67．One possible version
It took nearly two hours to find a workable solution that could bring all four horses to safety. It was a process of trial and error that required a few firefighters to slip into the cold water to tie belts under the chests of the horses. The scene was chaotic, and everyone was panicky. Eventually emergency responders secured a rope around the first horse. The method worked, and the first horse was saved.
To get the horses out, they used a powerful tractor to get the animals out of the mud and ropes to pull them over the edge. Using the same method but with a more powerful tractor, they saved the remaining three horses, one by one. The effort took a total of about three hours. Despite being chilled and startled, all four horses seemed healthy.
【导语】本文以故事发展为线索展开。周一下午，Alexis Langlois的四匹马被困在水塘里了，她拨打了911后等待救援。邻居们也都来了，带来了绳子、链锯、铲子和镐。每个人都决心把马就出来。很快，消防队员来了，和邻居们一起把马救了出来。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“花了将近两个小时才找到一个可行的解决方案，使四匹马都安全。”可知，第一段可描写救援过程的艰难以及怎么找到有效办法救出第一匹马。
②由第二段首句内容“为了把马弄出来，他们用一辆马力强大的拖拉机把马从泥里拖出来，用绳子把它们拉到边缘。”可知，第二段可描写他们用同样的办法救出其余三匹马。
2.续写线索：马被困水塘——拨打911求助——邻居们来帮忙——消防队员到来——实施救援——四匹马得救
