This mrning I called my brther, Larry, and said, “I have a piece f gd news and ad piece f bad news. Which d yu want t hear first?” “Gd news first,” Larry answered. “Yu can g t sleep early tnight,” I said. “Okay. What’s the bad ne?” he asked. “We’re ging t the pera!” I answered, laughing ludly.
There was a reasn fr the jke. The last time I invited him t g t the pera, he fell asleep in the theater. I had t admit it was always bring fr him, but when I gave him a ticket fr my favrite pera, I really thught he might enjy it. I wke him up, but sn he fell asleep again. When Larry fund I was jking, he breathed a sigh f relief n the ther end. He said, “But I want yu t g t see the last basketball game this autumn with me.” I prmised and cmplained, “Nt again!” Actually, mst f the time, when the game was n, I’d be texting r daydreaming. Smetimes, my telephne messages wuld be interrupted when the hme team scred. I knew they scred because everyne jumped up and exchanged high-fives and fist bumps.
Hwever, tday, as I lked arund at thusands f peple cheering and getting increasingly excited, I was determined t at least give it a try—fr my brther’s sake, if nt fr my wn. The game was intense, and I was hked sn. When the ther team scred, I eventually felt a bit disappinted with the rest f my crwd. My brther was surprised t see me getting invlved.

Ancient builders acrss the wrld created structures that are still standing tday, thusands f years later. Rman builders built thick cncrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and Chinese builders cnstructed walls against freign enemies.
A grwing number f scientists have been studying materials since a lng time ag. They are breaking apart pieces f buildings and reading histrical texts hping t learn hw they have std fr thusands f years. The research has turned up a surprising list f materials that were mixed int ld buildings. They include tree bark, vlcanic ash, rice and beer. These unexpected materials can have the ability t get strnger ver time. Figuring ut hw t cpy these features can have real impacts tday. While sme f ur mdern cncrete has the strength t hld up very tall buildings and heavy structures, it cannt cmpete with the durability f these ancient materials.
Many scientists have turned t the Rmans. Starting arund 200 BC, the Rman Empire was building cncrete structures that have std the test f time. Even in places where seawater has been hitting structures fr ages, yu will find cncrete basically the way it was when it was pured 2,000 years ag. They think they have fund an imprtant reasn why sme Rman cncrete has held up structures fr thusands f years. That the ancient materials have an unusual pwer t restre themselves and “cure” cracks (裂缝) when they frm is the mst shcking fr them. Exactly hw is nt yet clear, but scientists are starting t find the reasns.
Tday’s builders cannt just cpy the ancient prcesses. Even thugh Rman cncrete lasted a lng time, it culdn’t hld up heavy buildings. Instead, researchers are trying t take sme f the ancient materials and add them int mdern mixes. Peple dn’t need t make things last quite as lng as the Rmans did. If we add 50 r 100 years t cncrete’s lifespan, we’ll surely require less pulling dwn, less maintenance and less material in the lng run.
8. What were the mentined Rman and Chinese buildings bth used fr?
A. Travel.B. Defence.C. Sldier training.D. Seawater cntrl.
9. Which wrd can best describe the ancient buildings?
A. Lng-lasting.B. Energy-efficient.C. Delicate.D. Flexible.
10. What surprises the scientists mst abut the ancient building materials?
A. Their large cracks.B. Their clear cncrete.
C. Their internal structures.D. Their self-repairing ability.
11. What is the authr’s attitude t the future cncrete?
A. Tlerant.B. Expectant.C. Suspicius.D. Indifferent.

A new study shws hming pigens (鸽子) cmbine precise internal cmpasses and memrized landmarks t retrace a path back t their hme—even fur years after the previus time when they made the trip.
Testing nnhuman memry keeping is challenging in research studies. “It’s rare that there is a gap f several years between when an animal stres the infrmatin and when it is next required t get it back,” says Dra Bir, a zlgist at the University f Oxfrd. In a recent study, Bir and her clleagues cmpared dmestic hming pigens’ paths three r fur years after the birds established rutes back t their hme frm a farm 8.6 kilmeters away. The study built n data frm a 2016 experiment in which pigens learned rutes in different scial cntexts during several flights-n their wn r with peers that did r did nt knw the way.
Using data frm GPS devices temprarily attached t the birds’ backs the researchers cmpared the flight paths a grup f pigens tk in 2016 with many f the same birds’ rutes in 2019 r 2020, withut the birds visiting the release site in between. Sme birds missed a handful f landmarks alng the way, but many thers tk “strikingly similar” rutes t thse they used in 2016, “It was as if the last time they flew there was just the day befre, nt fur years ag,” says Oxfrd zlgist and study c-authr Julien Cllet.
The team fund that the pigens remembered a rute just as well if they first flew it alne r with thers and perfrmed much better than thse that had nt made the jurney in 2016. “The result is nt surprising, but it prvides new cnfirmatin f hming pigens’ remarkable memry. It clses the distance a little bit between ur vercnfident human cgnitive (认知的) abilities and what animals can d,” says Verner Bingman, wh studies animal navigatin at Bwling Green State University and was nt invlved in the study.
12. What des paragraph 1 mentin abut hming pigens?
A. The time f leaving hme.B. The lcatin f their birth.
C. The ways they navigate hme.D. The reasns fr their taking trips.
13. Hw did Bir and her clleagues cnduct the study?
A. Thrugh questinnaires.B. Thrugh infrmatin assumptins.
C. Thrugh lab experiments n animals.D. Thrugh cmparative analysis f data.
14. What did the researchers use t get the pigens’ flight rutes accrding t paragraph 3?
A. Predictin methd.B. Tracking methd.
C. Expert cnsultatin.D. Literature cnsultatin.
15. What can we learn abut animal cgnitive abilities frm Verner Bingman’s wrds?
A. They are underestimated.B. They have been declining.
C. They are much lwer than humans’.D. They have never been cnfirmed.

Ancient builders acrss the wrld created structures that are still standing tday, thusands f years later. Rman builders built thick cncrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and Chinese builders cnstructed walls against freign enemies.
A grwing number f scientists have been studying materials since a lng time ag. They are breaking apart pieces f buildings and reading histrical texts hping t learn hw they have std fr thusands f years. The research has turned up a surprising list f materials that were mixed int ld buildings. They include tree bark, vlcanic ash, rice and beer. These unexpected materials can have the ability t get strnger ver time. Figuring ut hw t cpy these features can have real impacts tday. While sme f ur mdern cncrete has the strength t hld up very tall buildings and heavy structures, it cannt cmpete with the durability f these ancient materials.
Many scientists have turned t the Rmans. Starting arund 200 BC, the Rman Empire was building cncrete structures that have std the test f time. Even in places where seawater has been hitting structures fr ages, yu will find cncrete basically the way it was when it was pured 2,000 years ag. They think they have fund an imprtant reasn why sme Rman cncrete has held up structures fr thusands f years. That the ancient materials have an unusual pwer t restre themselves and “cure” cracks (裂缝) when they frm is the mst shcking fr them. Exactly hw is nt yet clear, but scientists are starting t find the reasns.
Tday’s builders cannt just cpy the ancient prcesses. Even thugh Rman cncrete lasted a lng time, it culdn’t hld up heavy buildings. Instead, researchers are trying t take sme f the ancient materials and add them int mdern mixes. Peple dn’t need t make things last quite as lng as the Rmans did. If we add 50 r 100 years t cncrete’s lifespan, we’ll surely require less pulling dwn, less maintenance and less material in the lng run.

A new study shws hming pigens (鸽子) cmbine precise internal cmpasses and memrized landmarks t retrace a path back t their hme—even fur years after the previus time when they made the trip.
Testing nnhuman memry keeping is challenging in research studies. “It’s rare that there is a gap f several years between when an animal stres the infrmatin and when it is next required t get it back,” says Dra Bir, a zlgist at the University f Oxfrd. In a recent study, Bir and her clleagues cmpared dmestic hming pigens’ paths three r fur years after the birds established rutes back t their hme frm a farm 8.6 kilmeters away. The study built n data frm a 2016 experiment in which pigens learned rutes in different scial cntexts during several flights-n their wn r with peers that did r did nt knw the way.
Using data frm GPS devices temprarily attached t the birds’ backs, the researchers cmpared the flight paths a grup f pigens tk in 2016 with many f the same birds’ rutes in 2019 r 2020, withut the birds visiting the release site in between. Sme birds missed a handful f landmarks alng the way, but many thers tk “strikingly similar” rutes t thse they used in 2016, “It was as if the last time they flew there was just the day befre, nt fur years ag,” says Oxfrd zlgist and study c-authr Julien Cllet.
The team fund that the pigens remembered a rute just as well if they first flew it alne r with thers and perfrmed much better than thse that had nt made the jurney in 2016. “The result is nt surprising, but it prvides new cnfirmatin f hming pigens’ remarkable memry. It clses the distance a little bit between ur vercnfident human cgnitive (认知的) abilities and what animals can d,” says Verner Bingman, wh studies animal navigatin at Bwling Green State University and was nt invlved in the study.
12. What des paragraph 1 mentin abut hming pigens?
A. The time f leaving hme.B. The lcatin f their birth.
C. The ways they navigate hme.D. The reasns fr their taking trips.

What interesting!
【答案】1. watch→ watched
2. which→ whse
3. but→ and
4. lked→ lking
5. ne前加the
6. such→ s
7. ut去掉
8. rbts→ rbt
9. amazing→ amazed
10. What→ Hw
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者在餐馆遇见机器人的事情。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：今天早上，我在网上看了一段视频，视频显示一个机器人在图书馆里。结合This mrning可知，事情发生在过去，故句子用一般过去时。动词应为过去式watched。故watch改为watched。
2.考查定语从句。句意：这听起来像一个女孩，她与人类的对话很有趣，但很愉快。分析句子结构可知，逗号后为定语从句，修饰先行词girl，且dialgues前缺少定语，故填whse，引导定语从句。故which改为whse。
3.考查连词。句意：这听起来像一个女孩，她与人类的对话很有趣，但很愉快。interesting“有趣的”和 pleasant“令人愉快的”是并列的，没有转折关系，应用连词and连接。故but改为and。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：下午，我去了一家餐厅，在那里我碰巧遇到了一个工作机器人，它看起来和我早上在网上看到的有点不同。分析句子结构可知，where引导的定语从句中谓语为happened，故lk应为非谓语动词，且lk“看起来”无被动，故应为现在分词lking，作定语，修饰wrking rbt。故lked改为lking。
5.考查冠词。句意：下午，我去了一家餐厅，在那里我碰巧遇到了一个工作机器人，它看起来和我早上在网上看到的有点不同。ne代指机器人，此处是特指早晨在网上看到的机器人，故ne前应加定冠词the，表示特指。故ne前加the。
6.考查副词。句意：我说：“你好，你如此聪明！”修饰形容词smart“聪明的”，应为副词s“如此”，而such修饰名词。故such改为s。
7.考查固定用法。句意：当我离开时，我问门口的店员关于那个机器人的事。leave ut表示“遗漏，省去”，这里表示“我离开了”，leave是离开的意思。故去掉ut。
8.考查名词。句意：当我离开时，我问门口的店员关于那个机器人的事。此处“机器人”指的是和作者对话的机器人，且由下文的“It’s ff duty nw.”也可判断，本句中的“机器人”为单数形式。故rbts改为rbt。
9.考查形容词。句意：我很惊讶它能像人类一样工作。形容词amazing“令人惊叹的”，通常修饰物；形容词amazed“吃惊的”，通常修饰人。本句主语是I“我”，形容人应为amazed，作表语。故amazing改为amazed。
10.考查感叹句。句意：多么有趣啊！在感叹句中what修饰名词；而hw为副词，修饰形容词或副词；所以本题修饰形容词interesting，要用Hw。故What改为Hw。

Ancient builders acrss the wrld created structures that are still standing tday, thusands f years later. Rman builders built thick cncrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and Chinese builders cnstructed walls against freign enemies.
A grwing number f scientists have been studying materials since a lng time ag. They are breaking apart pieces f buildings and reading histrical texts hping t learn hw they have std fr thusands f years. The research has turned up a surprising list f materials that were mixed int ld buildings. They include tree bark, vlcanic ash, rice and beer. These unexpected materials can have the ability t get strnger ver time. Figuring ut hw t cpy these features can have real impacts tday. While sme f ur mdern cncrete has the strength t hld up very tall buildings and heavy structures, it cannt cmpete with the durability f these ancient materials.
Many scientists have turned t the Rmans. Starting arund 200 BC, the Rman Empire was building cncrete structures that have std the test f time. Even in places where seawater has been hitting structures fr ages, yu will find cncrete basically the way it was when it was pured 2,000 years ag. They think they have fund an imprtant reasn why sme Rman cncrete has held up structures fr thusands f years. That the ancient materials have an unusual pwer t restre themselves and “cure” cracks (裂缝) when they frm is the mst shcking fr them. Exactly hw is nt yet clear, but scientists are starting t find the reasns.
Tday’s builders cannt just cpy the ancient prcesses. Even thugh Rman cncrete lasted a lng time, it culdn’t hld up heavy buildings. Instead, researchers are trying t take sme f the ancient materials and add them int mdern mixes. Peple dn’t need t make things last quite as lng as the Rmans did. If we add 50 r 100 years t cncrete’s lifespan, we’ll surely require less pulling dwn, less maintenance and less material in the lng run.
8. What were the mentined Rman and Chinese buildings bth used fr?
A. Travel.B. Defence.C. Sldier training.D. Seawater cntrl.

A new study shws hming pigens (鸽子) cmbine precise internal cmpasses and memrized landmarks t retrace a path back t their hme—even fur years after the previus time when they made the trip.
Testing nnhuman memry keeping is challenging in research studies. “It’s rare that there is a gap f several years between when an animal stres the infrmatin and when it is next required t get it back,” says Dra Bir, a zlgist at the University f Oxfrd. In a recent study, Bir and her clleagues cmpared dmestic hming pigens’ paths three r fur years after the birds established rutes back t their hme frm a farm 8.6 kilmeters away. The study built n data frm a 2016 experiment in which pigens learned rutes in different scial cntexts during several flights-n their wn r with peers that did r did nt knw the way.
Using data frm GPS devices temprarily attached t the birds’ backs the researchers cmpared the flight paths a grup f pigens tk in 2016 with many f the same birds’ rutes in 2019 r 2020, withut the birds visiting the release site in between. Sme birds missed a handful f landmarks alng the way, but many thers tk “strikingly similar” rutes t thse they used in 2016, “It was as if the last time they flew there was just the day befre, nt fur years ag,” says Oxfrd zlgist and study c-authr Julien Cllet.
The team fund that the pigens remembered a rute just as well if they first flew it alne r with thers and perfrmed much better than thse that had nt made the jurney in 2016. “The result is nt surprising, but it prvides new cnfirmatin f hming pigens’ remarkable memry. It clses the distance a little bit between ur vercnfident human cgnitive (认知的) abilities and what animals can d,” says Verner Bingman, wh studies animal navigatin at Bwling Green State University and was nt invlved in the study.
12. What des paragraph 1 mentin abut hming pigens?
A. The time f leaving hme.B. The lcatin f their birth.
C. The ways they navigate hme.D. The reasns fr their taking trips.
13. Hw did Bir and her clleagues cnduct the study?
A. Thrugh questinnaires.B. Thrugh infrmatin assumptins.
C. Thrugh lab experiments n animals.D. Thrugh cmparative analysis f data.
14. What did the researchers use t get the pigens’ flight rutes accrding t paragraph 3?
A. Predictin methd.B. Tracking methd.
C. Expert cnsultatin.D. Literature cnsultatin.
15. What can we learn abut animal cgnitive abilities frm Verner Bingman’s wrds?
A. They are underestimated.B. They have been declining.

The game was intense, and I was hked sn. When the ther team scred, I eventually felt a bit disappinted with the rest f my crwd. My brther was surprised t see me getting invlved.

Ancient builders acrss the wrld created structures that are still standing tday, thusands f years later. Rman builders built thick cncrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and Chinese builders cnstructed walls against freign enemies.
A grwing number f scientists have been studying materials since a lng time ag. They are breaking apart pieces f buildings and reading histrical texts hping t learn hw they have std fr thusands f years. The research has turned up a surprising list f materials that were mixed int ld buildings. They include tree bark, vlcanic ash, rice and beer. These unexpected materials can have the ability t get strnger ver time. Figuring ut hw t cpy these features can have real impacts tday. While sme f ur mdern cncrete has the strength t hld up very tall buildings and heavy structures, it cannt cmpete with the durability f these ancient materials.
Many scientists have turned t the Rmans. Starting arund 200 BC, the Rman Empire was building cncrete structures that have std the test f time. Even in places where seawater has been hitting structures fr ages, yu will find cncrete basically the way it was when it was pured 2,000 years ag. They think they have fund an imprtant reasn why sme Rman cncrete has held up structures fr thusands f years. That the ancient materials have an unusual pwer t restre themselves and “cure” cracks (裂缝) when they frm is the mst shcking fr them. Exactly hw is nt yet clear, but scientists are starting t find the reasns.
Tday’s builders cannt just cpy the ancient prcesses. Even thugh Rman cncrete lasted a lng time, it culdn’t hld up heavy buildings. Instead, researchers are trying t take sme f the ancient materials and add them int mdern mixes. Peple dn’t need t make things last quite as lng as the Rmans did. If we add 50 r 100 years t cncrete’s lifespan, we’ll surely require less pulling dwn, less maintenance and less material in the lng run.
8. What were the mentined Rman and Chinese buildings bth used fr?
A. Travel.B. Defence.C. Sldier training.D. Seawater cntrl.
9. Which wrd can best describe the ancient buildings?
A. Lng-lasting.B. Energy-efficient.C. Delicate.D. Flexible.
10. What surprises the scientists mst abut the ancient building materials?
A. Their large cracks.B. Their clear cncrete.
C. Their internal structures.D. Their self-repairing ability.
11. What is the authr’s attitude t the future cncrete?
A. Tlerant.B. Expectant.C. Suspicius.D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界各地的古代建筑者所建造的建筑在几千年后的今天仍然屹立不倒的原因。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者在餐馆遇见机器人的事情。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：今天早上，我在网上看了一段视频，视频显示一个机器人在图书馆里。结合This mrning可知，事情发生在过去，故句子用一般过去时。动词应为过去式watched。故watch改为watched。
2.考查定语从句。句意：这听起来像一个女孩，她与人类的对话很有趣，但很愉快。分析句子结构可知，逗号后为定语从句，修饰先行词girl，且dialgues前缺少定语，故填whse，引导定语从句。故which改为whse。
3.考查连词。句意：这听起来像一个女孩，她与人类的对话很有趣，但很愉快。interesting“有趣的”和 pleasant“令人愉快的”是并列的，没有转折关系，应用连词and连接。故but改为and。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：下午，我去了一家餐厅，在那里我碰巧遇到了一个工作机器人，它看起来和我早上在网上看到的有点不同。分析句子结构可知，where引导的定语从句中谓语为happened，故lk应为非谓语动词，且lk“看起来”无被动，故应为现在分词lking，作定语，修饰wrking rbt。故lked改为lking。
5.考查冠词。句意：下午，我去了一家餐厅，在那里我碰巧遇到了一个工作机器人，它看起来和我早上在网上看到的有点不同。ne代指机器人，此处是特指早晨在网上看到的机器人，故ne前应加定冠词the，表示特指。故ne前加the。
6.考查副词。句意：我说：“你好，你如此聪明！”修饰形容词smart“聪明的”，应为副词s“如此”，而such修饰名词。故such改为s。
7.考查固定用法。句意：当我离开时，我问门口的店员关于那个机器人的事。leave ut表示“遗漏，省去”，这里表示“我离开了”，leave是离开的意思。故去掉ut。
8.考查名词。句意：当我离开时，我问门口的店员关于那个机器人的事。此处“机器人”指的是和作者对话的机器人，且由下文的“It’s ff duty nw.”也可判断，本句中的“机器人”为单数形式。故rbts改为rbt。
9.考查形容词。句意：我很惊讶它能像人类一样工作。形容词amazing“令人惊叹的”，通常修饰物；形容词amazed“吃惊的”，通常修饰人。本句主语是I“我”，形容人应为amazed，作表语。故amazing改为amazed。
10.考查感叹句。句意：多么有趣啊！在感叹句中what修饰名词；而hw为副词，修饰形容词或副词；所以本题修饰形容词interesting，要用Hw。故What改为Hw。
