Booking flights can be really exciting, but the prices might shock you into not booking your dream vacation. Never fear! We’ve offered some best tips for finding the cheapest airfares.
◆ Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates and Times
Airline ticket prices vary greatly depending on the day of the week and time of the year. In general, Fridays and Sundays are the most desirable days, so tickets will be pricier. Prices are cheaper if you fly after a major holiday. Airlines know when a festival, holiday, or school break is coming up — and they raise prices accordingly. Be flexible with your dates and times, and you’ll save yourself some major money.
◆ Use Multiple Flight Platforms
Checking between the different platforms can often provide you with better insights into flight combinations and prices — for the same exact flights. Different platforms have different advantages and features, so play around with them all. You’ll quickly determine the one(s) you like best!
◆ Check for a Student Discount
As a student, you might be in luck. Some airlines, say, SAS (Scandinavian Airlines), have a student ticket which means that for up to one week before departure, students pay the cheapest fare. Normal travelers at that time have to pay a much higher price, but a SAS Youth Ticket may be only one quarter the price of a normal ticket.
◆ Keep an Eye for Special Deals
Before looking for specific flights, make sure you’ve signed up for some newsletters. Joining the mailing list for airlines will give you access to the absolute best deals. More often than not, cheap flights are only available for a limited window (usually 24 hours). Keeping your eye on the deals will ensure you don’t miss an amazing opportunity.
1. When might the airfares be the cheapest?
A. The first day of Christmas Holiday.
B. The middle day of Christmas Holiday.
C. The Friday before Christmas Holiday.
D. The Wednesday after Christmas Holiday.
2. Why is joining the mailing list for airlines advised according to the text?
A. To make travel time flexible.
B. To get access to special deals.
C. To check for a student discount.
D. To take advantage of different platforms.
3. In which section of a travel website can we read this text?
A. Book your trip. B. Design your route.
C. Enjoy your tour. D. Research your destination.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些寻找最便宜机票的最佳建议。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一个大标题下的“Prices are cheaper if you fly after a major holiday. Airlines know when a festival, holiday, or school break is coming up — and they raise prices accordingly. (如果你在一个重要的节日之后乘飞机，价格会更便宜。航空公司知道什么时候是节日、假期或学校假期，他们会相应地提高价格。)”可知，重要的假期后坐飞机价格会便宜一些，所以圣诞节后的星期三的飞机票更便宜。故选D。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一个大标题下的“Joining the mailing list for airlines will give you access to the absolute best deals. (加入航空公司的邮件列表将使你获得绝对最优惠的交易。)”可知，建议加入航空公司的邮件列表是为了获得特别优惠。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Booking flights can be really exciting, but the prices might shock you into not booking your dream vacation. Never fear! we’ve offered some best tips for finding the cheapest airfares. (预订机票确实令人兴奋，但价格可能会让你感到震惊，从而放弃预订你的梦想假期。不要害怕!我们提供了一些寻找最便宜机票的建议。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一些寻找最便宜机票的最佳建议，所以文章最可能出自旅游网站的“预订行程”部分。故选A。

（2023届江苏省决胜新高考高三年级5月份大联考英语试题）
Squirrels eavesdrop on (窃听) the chatter of songbirds to work out whether the appearance of a predator (食肉动物) is cause for alarm, researchers have found. Animals including squirrels have previously been found to tune in to cries of alarm from other creatures.
But the latest study suggests animals may also keep an ear out for everyday chitchat among other species as a way to assess whether there is trouble afoot.
Writing in the journal Plos One, researchers reported on how they made their discovery by observing 67 grey squirrels as they pottered about (晃悠) different areas in the residential regions of Oberlin.
After 30 seconds of observing a squirrel, researchers played it a recording of the call of a red-tailed hawk (鹰), which lasted a couple of seconds — and their behaviour in the next 30 seconds was monitored. The squirrels were then played a three-minute recording of several different species of songbird chattering on a feeder.
The results revealed that in the 30 seconds after hearing the hawk call the squirrels increased the percentage of their time spent “vigilant” (警惕) compared with before the call, while they also looked up more often to scan the environment. Squirrels that were played bird chatter raised their heads less often during the recording and the number of these “look-ups” dropped off faster over time.
“Recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety is likely adaptive, as squirrels that can safely reduce their vigilance level in the presence of bird chatter probably are able to increase foraging (觅食) success,” the authors wrote.
The team suggested that with levels of human-made noise increasing, squirrels may find it harder to eavesdrop on birds, meaning they may have to spend more time being alert and less time foraging.
Dr Jakob Bro-Jorgensen, co-author of the study from Oberlin College, said: “The study calls attention to how animals can gather information from their environment by using cues that may at first glance seem irrelevant,” he said. “And it makes you wonder how the more and more pervasive (无处不在的) impact of human activities on natural soundscapes may reduce survival of wildlife in ways we haven’t thought of.”
32. What does the new research find about squirrels’ eavesdropping?
A. It lacks scientific evidence. B. It is more widespread and broader.
C. It needs to be further investigated. D. It is contradictory to previous findings.
33. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The subject of the experiment. B. The findings of the experiment
C. The process of the experiment. D. The purpose of the experiment
34. Why is recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety important for squirrels?
A. They can escape from potential risks. B. It helps them to forage food successfully.
C. It is safe for them to play with their mates D. They can adapt to a new environment quickly.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the research?
A. Its implication. B. Its appeal to the public.
C. Expectations for further study. D. Scientists with new perspectives.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。主要介绍了松鼠通过窃听其他动物的交流来判断危险的情况。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But the latest study suggests animals may also keep an ear out for everyday chitchat among other species as a way to assess whether there is trouble afoot.(但最新的研究表明，动物也可能会留意其他物种之间的日常闲聊，以此来评估是否有麻烦发生)”可知，研究结果发现松鼠窃听的对象比我们知道的要广泛，故选B。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“After 30 seconds of observing a squirrel, researchers played it a recording of the call of a red-tailed hawk (鹰), which lasted a couple of seconds — and their behaviour in the next 30 seconds was monitored. The squirrels were then played a three-minute recording of several different species of songbird chattering on a feeder.(在观察一只松鼠30秒后，研究人员给它播放了一段红尾鹰的叫声，这段叫声持续了几秒钟，并在接下来的30秒内监测它们的行为。然后给松鼠播放一段三分钟的录音，录音中有几种不同种类的鸣禽在喂食器上叽叽喳喳地叫)”可知，本段主要是介绍研究的过程，故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety is likely adaptive, as squirrels that can safely reduce their vigilance level in the presence of bird chatter probably are able to increase foraging (觅食) success(将鸟叫声视为安全的标志可能是适应性的，因为松鼠在鸟叫声出现时可以安全地降低警惕水平，这可能会提高觅食的成功率)”可知，松鼠通过窃听获取是否存在危险的信息，从而提高觅食成功的概率，故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Dr Jakob Bro-Jorgensen, co-author of the study from Oberlin College, said: “The study calls attention to how animals can gather information from their environment by using cues that may at first glance seem irrelevant,” he said. “And it makes you wonder how the more and more pervasive (无处不在的) impact of human activities on natural soundscapes may reduce survival of wildlife in ways we haven’t thought of.”(这项研究的合著者、来自奥伯林学院的雅各布·布罗-乔根森博士说：“这项研究让人们注意到动物是如何通过使用乍一看似乎无关紧要的线索，从环境中收集信息的。”“这让你想知道，人类活动对自然声景的影响越来越普遍，可能会以我们没有想到的方式减少野生动物的生存。”)”可知，这一部分讲的是研究结果的启示，故选A。

As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices.____36____But others may not have crossed your mind. “A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist Dr. Beth Abramson.
●Get eight hours of sleep.
“When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we're sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels.____37____
●____38____
Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.”
●Avoid polluted air.
Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation.____39____Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor.
●Eat breakfast.
A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who partook in a substantial morning meal. According to Abramson, you need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.____40____If you're eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices.
A. Be social and outgoing.
B. Engage in voluntary work.
C. There are physiological effects of this condition on the body.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何预防心脏病提出了一些建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. (多达80%的早发心脏病是可以通过选择特定的生活方式来预防的)”可知，本句主要是在特定生活方式进行举例：锻炼和控制体重，故F选项“有些策略，如锻炼和控制体重，是众所周知的”符合语境，故选F。
【37题详解】
根据上文““When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta.

(阿尔伯塔大学(University of Alberta)医学教授Arya Sharma博士说：“当你没有休息好时，生活中发生的每件事都会给你带来更多压力。”如果我们睡眠不足，我们的身体也会更难控制血压、炎症和血糖水平)”可知，上文提到了血压、炎症和血糖水平，本句为本段最后一句，应说明这些因素对心血管的影响。故D选项“这些因素都会影响心血管健康”符合语境，故选D。
【38题详解】
根据本段内容“Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.” (为别人做好事有助于你的自尊和缓解压力。2016年发表在《身心医学》上的一项研究表明，生活中的目标感与心脏病发作和中风的可能性较低有关。“我们知道孤独是心脏健康的一个风险因素，”夏尔马补充说。“志愿活动可以让你走出家门，建立一个社交网络。”)”可知，本段的主旨是从事志愿活动，可以有助于你的自尊和缓解压力。故B选项“从事志愿工作”符合语境，故选B。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation.

(尽量远离高速公路和工业区进行户外锻炼，在空气质量指数较差的时候多呆在室内)”可知，上文提到了污染对身体的危害，本句进一步进行补充说明：即使是短时间的接触对有其他健康风险的人来说也是不健康的。故G选项“即使是短时间的接触对有其他健康风险的人来说也是不健康的”符合语境，故选G。
【40题详解】
根据后文“If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices. (如果你吃了一顿合适的早餐，你就不太可能在之后感到饥饿，也不太可能做出糟糕的食物选择)”可知，本句主要针对早餐吃的食物进行建议。故E选项“选择全麦、低脂的早餐食物，包括水果”符合语境，故选E。

【答案】56. less likely 57. harmonious 58. to blame 59. were invented 60. thoughts
61. which 62. not 63. what 64. to 65. developing
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据一项调查，儿童沉迷网络游戏与亲子关系密切相关：亲子关系越好，越不可能一个孩子很容易沉迷于网络游戏。文章介绍了如何通过培养良好的亲子关系让孩子远离智能手机的方法。
【56题详解】
考查比较级。句意：根据一项调查，儿童沉迷网络游戏与亲子关系密切相关：亲子关系越好，越不可能一个孩子很容易沉迷于网络游戏。“the+比较级，the+比较级”意为“越……，越……”，为固定句式。根据“the better the relationship is”可知，此处是指亲子关系越好，越不可能一个孩子很容易沉迷于网络游戏，所以应用形容词比较级less likely表示“较不可能的”。故填less likely。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：为了让孩子远离智能手机，父母必须反思自己的行为，努力建立和谐的亲子关系，而不是命令他们的孩子放弃坏习惯。修饰名词relationships应用形容词harmonious表示“和谐的”。故填harmonious。
【58题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：父母把孩子的所有问题都归咎于智能手机是不公平的。“it be+adj+for sb+to do”意为“做某事对某人来说是……的”，此处用it作形式主语，to do不定式为真正的主语。故填to blame。
【59题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：甚至在智能手机和电子游戏发明之前，这些问题就已经存在了。根据“Such problems had existed”可知，此处应用一般过去时。动词invent意为“发明”，和主语smartphones and video games构成被动关系。故填were invented。
【60题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在这样的氛围中，孩子们可能会敞开心扉，向父母倾诉他们的真实感受，这是解决冲突所需要的。thought意为“想法”，为可数名词，根据their可知，此处应用复数形式。故填thoughts。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在这样的氛围中，孩子们可能会敞开心扉，向父母倾诉他们的真实感受，这是解决冲突所需要的。在非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，且修饰句子，所以应用关系代词which。故填which。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意：事实上，父母能给孩子的最重要和最有价值的礼物是时间，而不是金钱或昂贵的礼物。根据“the most important and valuable gift that parents can give their kids is time”可知，此处是指不是金钱或昂贵的礼物，所以应用副词not表示否定。故填not。
【63题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：父母应该参与到孩子的活动中，向他们介绍大自然的乐趣，而不是告诉他们该做什么、该学什么。在宾语从句中缺少宾语，且是指事物，所以应用连接代词what。故填what。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：父母应该参与到孩子的活动中，向他们介绍大自然的乐趣，而不是告诉他们该做什么、该学什么。introduce sb to sth意为“介绍某人了解某事”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用介词to。故填to。
【65题详解】
考查动名词。句意：总之，培养良好的亲子关系是让孩子远离智能手机的有效方法。develop意为“培养”，此处作主语应用动名词形式。故填developing。
五、读后续写
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。
“Jordi! Wake up!” Father’s voice called from the hallway, and I sat up quickly. The day finally came! The day that I would be a castellar—a tower builder. Mama had breakfast ready. “Are you prepared for your moment of fame?” Papa asked in excitement. My throat was suddenly very dry, and the bread got stuck as I swallowed. Taking a big swig of juice, I put on a smile. “I'm ready” I would do well. I wanted to make him proud.
Here in the eastern part of Spain, casteller groups were very popular. My city hosted the competition this year. Before that, I’d watched my parents compete. But never before had I been part of the tower. It was so high. And it sometimes fell. I was hesitant to be up there. But for the past year, I had been practicing the climb. I was twelve, and I must not be a coward (胆小鬼). So for the first time in a competition, I would help build the tower!
In town, I saw that the center was packed with people and casteller teams from all over the country. Hands sweating, I was waiting for our turn to compete. Mom came and patted me on the shoulder. “Have focus. Have faith.” I nodded to show that I understood and would do my best to follow the suggestions.
Soon, too soon, it was our turn.
My father and three of the strongest men stood in a circle facing each other as they held tightly to each other’s arms. Four more strong men stepped behind, each wrapping his arms around the chest of a man and giving him a bear hug. Then fifty more men and women crowded behind and began pushing on their backs to keep them tightly together.
Our base was solid. Four smaller men climbed onto the backs of the base group and stood on their shoulders. They then grabbed onto each other’s arms and held firmly, creating a strong second tier (层). Another group of men would form the third tier. Then, a group of women, including Mom, started climbing and began to form the fourth tier. Our tower was growing taller and taller.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

Paragraph 2: “Jordi. Easy!” My mother whispered the words.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then suddenly it was kids’ turn to make the last tier. Tightly gripping the clothing of those we were climbing over, we passed the first two tiers without difficulty. By the time I reached the fourth tier, nerves made my hands sweat and my knees tremble, for I was very high off the ground. As I climbed onto my mother’s shoulders, my foot slipped off and I slid down. Instinctively, I clutched Mom’s arm with all my might. Feeling the tower below swaying a bit, my heart began a crazy dance in my chest. “Stay focus!” Exclaimed a kid beside me. Sweat trickling down my face, I took a deep breath to calm myself. I could not be responsible for ruining our tower. I could not disgrace my parents or myself. I could not let my team down.
“Jordi. Easy!” My mother whispered the words. I calmed my heart and again placed my foot on Mom’s lap. This time, I grasped her shirt and firmly pushed myself to a stand, balancing on one foot. With the other foot, I stepped up and onto her shoulders, and then brought the other foot up. Reaching deep inside to feel my balance, with focus and trust, I rose slowly out of my crouch and straightened my knees. I worked hard to hold myself straight and still until our tower was complete. Whether or not we won this competition, I knew we had done what we had set out to do. With faith in each other and with focus on the task, we built our tower. Eventually, I became a casteller!

Booking flights can be really exciting, but the prices might shock you into not booking your dream vacation. Never fear! We’ve offered some best tips for finding the cheapest airfares.
◆ Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates and Times
Airline ticket prices vary greatly depending on the day of the week and time of the year. In general, Fridays and Sundays are the most desirable days, so tickets will be pricier. Prices are cheaper if you fly after a major holiday. Airlines know when a festival, holiday, or school break is coming up — and they raise prices accordingly. Be flexible with your dates and times, and you’ll save yourself some major money.
◆ Use Multiple Flight Platforms
Checking between the different platforms can often provide you with better insights into flight combinations and prices — for the same exact flights. Different platforms have different advantages and features, so play around with them all. You’ll quickly determine the one(s) you like best!
◆ Check for a Student Discount
As a student, you might be in luck. Some airlines, say, SAS (Scandinavian Airlines), have a student ticket which means that for up to one week before departure, students pay the cheapest fare. Normal travelers at that time have to pay a much higher price, but a SAS Youth Ticket may be only one quarter the price of a normal ticket.
◆ Keep an Eye for Special Deals
Before looking for specific flights, make sure you’ve signed up for some newsletters. Joining the mailing list for airlines will give you access to the absolute best deals. More often than not, cheap flights are only available for a limited window (usually 24 hours). Keeping your eye on the deals will ensure you don’t miss an amazing opportunity.
1. When might the airfares be the cheapest?
A. The first day of Christmas Holiday.
B. The middle day of Christmas Holiday.
C. The Friday before Christmas Holiday.
D. The Wednesday after Christmas Holiday.
2. Why is joining the mailing list for airlines advised according to the text?
A. To make travel time flexible.
B. To get access to special deals.
C. To check for a student discount.
D. To take advantage of different platforms.
3. In which section of a travel website can we read this text?
A. Book your trip. B. Design your route.
C. Enjoy your tour. D. Research your destination.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些寻找最便宜机票的最佳建议。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一个大标题下的“Prices are cheaper if you fly after a major holiday. Airlines know when a festival, holiday, or school break is coming up — and they raise prices accordingly. (如果你在一个重要的节日之后乘飞机，价格会更便宜。航空公司知道什么时候是节日、假期或学校假期，他们会相应地提高价格。)”可知，重要的假期后坐飞机价格会便宜一些，所以圣诞节后的星期三的飞机票更便宜。故选D。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一个大标题下的“Joining the mailing list for airlines will give you access to the absolute best deals. (加入航空公司的邮件列表将使你获得绝对最优惠的交易。)”可知，建议加入航空公司的邮件列表是为了获得特别优惠。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Booking flights can be really exciting, but the prices might shock you into not booking your dream vacation. Never fear! we’ve offered some best tips for finding the cheapest airfares. (预订机票确实令人兴奋，但价格可能会让你感到震惊，从而放弃预订你的梦想假期。不要害怕!我们提供了一些寻找最便宜机票的建议。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一些寻找最便宜机票的最佳建议，所以文章最可能出自旅游网站的“预订行程”部分。故选A。

（2023届江苏省决胜新高考高三年级5月份大联考英语试题）
Squirrels eavesdrop on (窃听) the chatter of songbirds to work out whether the appearance of a predator (食肉动物) is cause for alarm, researchers have found. Animals including squirrels have previously been found to tune in to cries of alarm from other creatures.
But the latest study suggests animals may also keep an ear out for everyday chitchat among other species as a way to assess whether there is trouble afoot.
Writing in the journal Plos One, researchers reported on how they made their discovery by observing 67 grey squirrels as they pottered about (晃悠) different areas in the residential regions of Oberlin.
After 30 seconds of observing a squirrel, researchers played it a recording of the call of a red-tailed hawk (鹰), which lasted a couple of seconds — and their behaviour in the next 30 seconds was monitored. The squirrels were then played a three-minute recording of several different species of songbird chattering on a feeder.
The results revealed that in the 30 seconds after hearing the hawk call the squirrels increased the percentage of their time spent “vigilant” (警惕) compared with before the call, while they also looked up more often to scan the environment. Squirrels that were played bird chatter raised their heads less often during the recording and the number of these “look-ups” dropped off faster over time.
“Recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety is likely adaptive, as squirrels that can safely reduce their vigilance level in the presence of bird chatter probably are able to increase foraging (觅食) success,” the authors wrote.
The team suggested that with levels of human-made noise increasing, squirrels may find it harder to eavesdrop on birds, meaning they may have to spend more time being alert and less time foraging.
Dr Jakob Bro-Jorgensen, co-author of the study from Oberlin College, said: “The study calls attention to how animals can gather information from their environment by using cues that may at first glance seem irrelevant,” he said. “And it makes you wonder how the more and more pervasive (无处不在的) impact of human activities on natural soundscapes may reduce survival of wildlife in ways we haven’t thought of.”
32. What does the new research find about squirrels’ eavesdropping?
A. It lacks scientific evidence. B. It is more widespread and broader.
C. It needs to be further investigated. D. It is contradictory to previous findings.
33. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The subject of the experiment. B. The findings of the experiment
C. The process of the experiment. D. The purpose of the experiment
34. Why is recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety important for squirrels?
A. They can escape from potential risks. B. It helps them to forage food successfully.
C. It is safe for them to play with their mates D. They can adapt to a new environment quickly.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the research?
A. Its implication. B. Its appeal to the public.
C. Expectations for further study. D. Scientists with new perspectives.

【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。主要介绍了松鼠通过窃听其他动物的交流来判断危险的情况。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But the latest study suggests animals may also keep an ear out for everyday chitchat among other species as a way to assess whether there is trouble afoot.(但最新的研究表明，动物也可能会留意其他物种之间的日常闲聊，以此来评估是否有麻烦发生)”可知，研究结果发现松鼠窃听的对象比我们知道的要广泛，故选B。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“After 30 seconds of observing a squirrel, researchers played it a recording of the call of a red-tailed hawk (鹰), which lasted a couple of seconds — and their behaviour in the next 30 seconds was monitored. The squirrels were then played a three-minute recording of several different species of songbird chattering on a feeder.(在观察一只松鼠30秒后，研究人员给它播放了一段红尾鹰的叫声，这段叫声持续了几秒钟，并在接下来的30秒内监测它们的行为。然后给松鼠播放一段三分钟的录音，录音中有几种不同种类的鸣禽在喂食器上叽叽喳喳地叫)”可知，本段主要是介绍研究的过程，故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety is likely adaptive, as squirrels that can safely reduce their vigilance level in the presence of bird chatter probably are able to increase foraging (觅食) success(将鸟叫声视为安全的标志可能是适应性的，因为松鼠在鸟叫声出现时可以安全地降低警惕水平，这可能会提高觅食的成功率)”可知，松鼠通过窃听获取是否存在危险的信息，从而提高觅食成功的概率，故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Dr Jakob Bro-Jorgensen, co-author of the study from Oberlin College, said: “The study calls attention to how animals can gather information from their environment by using cues that may at first glance seem irrelevant,” he said. “And it makes you wonder how the more and more pervasive (无处不在的) impact of human activities on natural soundscapes may reduce survival of wildlife in ways we haven’t thought of.”(这项研究的合著者、来自奥伯林学院的雅各布·布罗-乔根森博士说：“这项研究让人们注意到动物是如何通过使用乍一看似乎无关紧要的线索，从环境中收集信息的。”“这让你想知道，人类活动对自然声景的影响越来越普遍，可能会以我们没有想到的方式减少野生动物的生存。”)”可知，这一部分讲的是研究结果的启示，故选A。

“When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we're sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels.____37____
●____38____
Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.”
●Avoid polluted air.
Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation.____39____Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor.
●Eat breakfast.
A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who partook in a substantial morning meal. According to Abramson, you need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.____40____If you're eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices.
A. Be social and outgoing.
B. Engage in voluntary work.
C. There are physiological effects of this condition on the body.

【37题详解】
根据上文““When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta.

(阿尔伯塔大学(University of Alberta)医学教授Arya Sharma博士说：“当你没有休息好时，生活中发生的每件事都会给你带来更多压力。”如果我们睡眠不足，我们的身体也会更难控制血压、炎症和血糖水平)”可知，上文提到了血压、炎症和血糖水平，本句为本段最后一句，应说明这些因素对心血管的影响。故D选项“这些因素都会影响心血管健康”符合语境，故选D。

【39题详解】
根据上文“Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation. (长期暴露在这种污染中会增加患心脏病的风险。吸入由二氧化硫、碳和氮氧化物等化学物质形成的污染物可能会刺激动脉并增加炎症)”以及后文“Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor. (尽量远离高速公路和工业区进行户外锻炼，在空气质量指数较差的时候多呆在室内)”可知，上文提到了污染对身体的危害，本句进一步进行补充说明：即使是短时间的接触对有其他健康风险的人来说也是不健康的。故G选项“即使是短时间的接触对有其他健康风险的人来说也是不健康的”符合语境，故选G。
【40题详解】
根据后文“If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices. (如果你吃了一顿合适的早餐，你就不太可能在之后感到饥饿，也不太可能做出糟糕的食物选择)”可知，本句主要针对早餐吃的食物进行建议。故E选项“选择全麦、低脂的早餐食物，包括水果”符合语境，故选E。

【答案】56. less likely 57. harmonious 58. to blame 59. were invented 60. thoughts
61. which 62. not 63. what 64. to 65. developing
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据一项调查，儿童沉迷网络游戏与亲子关系密切相关：亲子关系越好，越不可能一个孩子很容易沉迷于网络游戏。文章介绍了如何通过培养良好的亲子关系让孩子远离智能手机的方法。
【56题详解】
考查比较级。句意：根据一项调查，儿童沉迷网络游戏与亲子关系密切相关：亲子关系越好，越不可能一个孩子很容易沉迷于网络游戏。“the+比较级，the+比较级”意为“越……，越……”，为固定句式。根据“the better the relationship is”可知，此处是指亲子关系越好，越不可能一个孩子很容易沉迷于网络游戏，所以应用形容词比较级less likely表示“较不可能的”。故填less likely。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：为了让孩子远离智能手机，父母必须反思自己的行为，努力建立和谐的亲子关系，而不是命令他们的孩子放弃坏习惯。修饰名词relationships应用形容词harmonious表示“和谐的”。故填harmonious。
【58题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：父母把孩子的所有问题都归咎于智能手机是不公平的。“it be+adj+for sb+to do”意为“做某事对某人来说是……的”，此处用it作形式主语，to do不定式为真正的主语。故填to blame。
【59题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：甚至在智能手机和电子游戏发明之前，这些问题就已经存在了。根据“Such problems had existed”可知，此处应用一般过去时。动词invent意为“发明”，和主语smartphones and video games构成被动关系。故填were invented。
【60题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在这样的氛围中，孩子们可能会敞开心扉，向父母倾诉他们的真实感受，这是解决冲突所需要的。thought意为“想法”，为可数名词，根据their可知，此处应用复数形式。故填thoughts。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在这样的氛围中，孩子们可能会敞开心扉，向父母倾诉他们的真实感受，这是解决冲突所需要的。在非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，且修饰句子，所以应用关系代词which。故填which。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意：事实上，父母能给孩子的最重要和最有价值的礼物是时间，而不是金钱或昂贵的礼物。根据“the most important and valuable gift that parents can give their kids is time”可知，此处是指不是金钱或昂贵的礼物，所以应用副词not表示否定。故填not。
【63题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：父母应该参与到孩子的活动中，向他们介绍大自然的乐趣，而不是告诉他们该做什么、该学什么。在宾语从句中缺少宾语，且是指事物，所以应用连接代词what。故填what。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：父母应该参与到孩子的活动中，向他们介绍大自然的乐趣，而不是告诉他们该做什么、该学什么。introduce sb to sth意为“介绍某人了解某事”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用介词to。故填to。
【65题详解】
考查动名词。句意：总之，培养良好的亲子关系是让孩子远离智能手机的有效方法。develop意为“培养”，此处作主语应用动名词形式。故填developing。
五、读后续写
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。
“Jordi! Wake up!” Father’s voice called from the hallway, and I sat up quickly. The day finally came! The day that I would be a castellar—a tower builder. Mama had breakfast ready. “Are you prepared for your moment of fame?” Papa asked in excitement. My throat was suddenly very dry, and the bread got stuck as I swallowed. Taking a big swig of juice, I put on a smile. “I'm ready” I would do well. I wanted to make him proud.
Here in the eastern part of Spain, casteller groups were very popular. My city hosted the competition this year. Before that, I’d watched my parents compete. But never before had I been part of the tower. It was so high. And it sometimes fell. I was hesitant to be up there. But for the past year, I had been practicing the climb. I was twelve, and I must not be a coward (胆小鬼). So for the first time in a competition, I would help build the tower!
In town, I saw that the center was packed with people and casteller teams from all over the country. Hands sweating, I was waiting for our turn to compete. Mom came and patted me on the shoulder. “Have focus. Have faith.” I nodded to show that I understood and would do my best to follow the suggestions.
Soon, too soon, it was our turn.
My father and three of the strongest men stood in a circle facing each other as they held tightly to each other’s arms. Four more strong men stepped behind, each wrapping his arms around the chest of a man and giving him a bear hug. Then fifty more men and women crowded behind and began pushing on their backs to keep them tightly together.
Our base was solid. Four smaller men climbed onto the backs of the base group and stood on their shoulders. They then grabbed onto each other’s arms and held firmly, creating a strong second tier (层). Another group of men would form the third tier. Then, a group of women, including Mom, started climbing and began to form the fourth tier. Our tower was growing taller and taller.
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: Then suddenly it was kids’ turn to make the last tier.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: “Jordi. Easy!” My mother whispered the words.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then suddenly it was kids’ turn to make the last tier. Tightly gripping the clothing of those we were climbing over, we passed the first two tiers without difficulty. By the time I reached the fourth tier, nerves made my hands sweat and my knees tremble, for I was very high off the ground. As I climbed onto my mother’s shoulders, my foot slipped off and I slid down. Instinctively, I clutched Mom’s arm with all my might. Feeling the tower below swaying a bit, my heart began a crazy dance in my chest. “Stay focus!” Exclaimed a kid beside me. Sweat trickling down my face, I took a deep breath to calm myself. I could not be responsible for ruining our tower. I could not disgrace my parents or myself. I could not let my team down.
“Jordi. Easy!” My mother whispered the words. I calmed my heart and again placed my foot on Mom’s lap. This time, I grasped her shirt and firmly pushed myself to a stand, balancing on one foot. With the other foot, I stepped up and onto her shoulders, and then brought the other foot up. Reaching deep inside to feel my balance, with focus and trust, I rose slowly out of my crouch and straightened my knees. I worked hard to hold myself straight and still until our tower was complete. Whether or not we won this competition, I knew we had done what we had set out to do. With faith in each other and with focus on the task, we built our tower. Eventually, I became a casteller!
