The idea that the nrmal human bdy temperature is abut 37℃was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it’s becme s widely accepted that it serves as a tuchstne fr health---a diagnstic tl used by physicians and parents as a basic indicatr f whether smene is sick r well. Hwever, it turns ut that this well-established fact isn’t, in fact, crrect—r, t put it mre accurately, human beings have been getting cler ver the years.
Recent studies have shwn that temperature recrds f grups f peple have tended t run lw cmpared t the accepted standard, s the Stanfrd team, led by Julie Par-snnet, MD, prfessr f medicine and f health research and plicy, decided t d a mre in-depth study t cmpare mdern measurements with histrical recrds t try t identify bdy temperature trends and, perhaps, uncver the reasn why this cling is happening.
Fr their research, the Stanfrd team lked at three distinct data sets frm tw histrical perids. After ging thrugh 677,423 temperature measurements, the team fund that men brn in the 21st century had an average bdy temperature f 0.6°C lwer than that f thse brn in the early 19th century while mdern wmen shwed an average decrease f 0.03°C cmpared t thse brn in the 1890s.
As t why this is happening, the researchers say that the mst likely mechanism is a reductin in the human metablic rate(代谢率) due t envirnmental factrs: One pssibility is that imprvements in public health ver 200 years have reduced the incidence f inflammatins(炎症), which prmte metablism. This cmbined with peple living mre cmfrtable lives in mre stable envirnments means that the bdy desn’t have t wrk as hard t stay warm, s the average temperature falls.
“The envirnment that we’re living in has changed, including the temperature in ur hmes, ur cntact with micrrganisms(微生物) and the fd that we have access t. All these things mean that althugh we cnsider human beings as the same fr all f human evlutin, we’re nt the same. We’re actually changing physilgically,” Parsnnet said.
32. What is Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich’s achievement?
A. He set up standards fr human health services.
B. He predicted trends in human bdy temperature.
C. He first used bdy temperature as a health indicatr.
D. He prpsed the standard human bdy temperature.
33. What can we learn abut the Stanfrd team’s study?
A. It shws wmen have a lwer bdy temperature than men.
B. It prves human bdy temperature has drpped at an alarming rate.
C. It cmpared histrical and current human bdy temperature data.
D. It suggested updating the definitin f the average bdy temperature.
34. What leads t the decrease in human bdy temperature?
A. The cntact with ther creatures.
B. The imprved living cnditins.
C. The decline in physically demanding wrk.
D. The adaptatin f humans t climate change.
35. Which ne culd be the best title fr the text?
A. What exactly is nrmal human bdy temperature?
B. Why des human bdy temperature need measuring?
C. Human bdy temperature has decreased ver the years.

Are yu an “I persn” r an “E persn”? 36 They are part f a ppular persnality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicatr, r MBTI. All f the results have fur letters, and there are 16 results in ttal. “I” and “E” refer t “intrverted”(内向的) and “extrverted”(外向的), respectively.
37 Fr example, when an intrverted persn is with a grup f intrverted friends, they might becme mre scial like an “E” persn.
Accrding t psychlgists, this idea f temprarily switching persnalities is called “masking”. 38 “Human beings want t feel they belng, and they might becme peple-pleasers t d s,” wrte the MasterClass website.
Using the MBTI result t identify and describe smene’s persnality seems fun. Hwever, I went t far at ne time. My sister was excitedly making a day-t-day travel plan when I remembered frm an article that “P” peple dn’t like t make r stick t plans, s I said t her, “Yu dn’t seem like a ‘P persn’.” “Why?” she asked back. “Since when d I need t fllw what my persnality test tells me t d?” 39
The MBTI persnality test may shw smething yu dn’t knw abut yurself and can even be fun ice-breaker questin when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is—fun. Knwing smene’s MBTI result desn’t mean yu really knw this persn. 40
A. Even if smene is typically quiet, many nline discussins suggest that an “I” persn can still act utging at times.
B. These tw persnality labels in particular are widely discussed nline.
C. It was then that I realized I’d taken the result t seriusly.
D. That is hiding yur true persnality in specific situatins.
E. Persnality labels als help us t tell the difference between peple.
F. But deep dwn, they mstly enjy being silent and quiet.
G. And thse fur letters f yurs dn’t define wh yu are.

It was a ht July day in Philadelphia and I can feel it still, 56 years later. The five bys I was with had grwn tired f playing marbles and were seeking fr smething different.
“Hey!” said freckle-faced (脸上有雀斑的) little Ned. “I gt an idea. We haven’t climbed the cliff(悬崖) fr a lng while.”
“Let’s g!” said smene else excitedly. I hesitated. I lnged t be brave and active like them, but I’d been a sickly child mst f my eight years and my mther warned me nt t take chances.
“Cme n!” called Jerry, my best friend. “Just being sick is n reasn t a cward(胆小鬼).”
“I’m cming!” I yelled, running after them.
We finally came t the cliff, a near vertical(垂直的) wall f rcks sticking ut dangerusly, and earth slides, scraggly(乱蓬蓬的) bushes and yung trees. It was nly abut 60 feet high, but t me it lked like the very symbl f the Frbidden and Impssible.
One by ne, the ther bys climbed upward, finding handhlds and tehlds n rck. Trembling and sweating, I began t climb. A hand here, a ft there, my heart punding in my skinny chest, I made my way up and up.
At sme pint, I lked back and was hrrified. The grund at the base f the cliff seemed very far belw; ne slip and I wuld fall, buncing ff the cliff face and ending n the rcks.
In a few minutes the bys started up t the tp, frm where they wuld walk hme by a rundabut(迂回) rute. Befre they left, they glanced dwn at me.
“Hey, wait!” I begged.
“Yu can stay if yu want t,” teased Ned, and the ther laughed.
Jerry lked cncerned, but he went with the thers.

Pssible versin 1:
Time passed and I lked dwn. I was vercme by dizziness, fearing it was much t far and I culd never climb back dwn. I wuld lse my grasp, fall and die. But the way up t the tp was even wrse—higher, steeper, mre dangerus and I wuld never make it. I heard smene sbbing and maning; I wndered wh it was and realized that it was myself. I lay n my stmach, t hrrified t mve. Gradually, the sun disappeared frm the treetps.
As darkness began t fall, I heard the vices f Jerry and my father. “I can’t cme dwn!” I cried. “I’ll fall. I culd die!” “Yu climbed up,” my father said in a perfectly nrmal cmfrting tne. “Yu can get dwn the same way. Lk at the rck where I’m shining the light.” Father pinted the beam up, “Put yur ft n that rck.” It seemed pssible. One little step after anther, I inched backward and finally int my father’s strng arms, sbbing a little, and surprisingly, feeling a sense f accmplishment. It was a lessn I wuld never frget.
Pssible versin 2:
Time passed and I lked dwn. I was hrrified at the pssibilities. My heart failed a beat and fear squeezed my whle bdy. Immediately, I lay n my stmach, unable t mve. Simultaneusly, a sense f regret and despair slwly crept upn me, rippling ver my bdy. Hw I wish I had listened t what my mther had said. “Will Jerry ask fr help?” “Will I be saved?” “Will the bys tease abut my being a cward r a mmma’s by?” Many questins flated thrugh my mind.
As darkness began t fall, I heard the vices f Jerry and my father. I suddenly felt happy beynd expressin. Hwever, what surprised me a lt was that they were n the tp f the cliff, with flashlights in their hands. “Yu can make it! Yu are nt a cward!” Jerry yelled at me.

One step at a time, ne handhld at a time, gradually I regained my cnfidence. My father and Jerry kept encuraging me t climb up the cliff. That was an experience I wuld never frget.
答案详解及听力原稿：
21—23 ACD
21.细节理解题。由第一个项目对应段落第三句中的“make the lives f under-served K-12 kids and their families easier”可知，Learn T Be的援助对象是资源匮乏身为幼儿园孩子到12年级学生。这些学生处于弱视地位,故选A。
22.细节理解题。第三个项目对应段落最后两句提到，你的辅导日期将由你和你要辅导的人确定，最少辅导三次。其他三个项目的时间跨度从8个星期到9个月不等，由此可知，对于时间很紧而又有兴趣做志愿教师的人而言，第三个项目最合适，故选C。

26.推理判断题。根据第三段可知，作者因为女儿的话明白不论求学与否，年纪都会增长，应该抓住有限的时间充实人生，即使到了40岁，作者也希望自己拥有学位，因此可以推断作者是希望自己的人生更好，故选B。

30.词义猜测题。划线短语在第五段，New subdivisins(住宅区) full f single family hmes fr rent—all but nnexistent a decade ag，从破折号后面的插入语可知这些新型的住宅区在过去10年里几乎是不存在的，因而“…are springing up frm cast t cast”表明它们现在“开始存在”，该词组也与“nnexistent”形成对比，故选A。
31.推理判断题。从最后两段可知，作者利用Cuch的事例以及Tempaper &C.和Pplight两个公司的网站访客数据，展示了长租者们由于节省了买房的成本，可以有余钱给所租房子按照自己的需求，品味和喜好进行家装设计，故选B。
32—35 DCBC
32.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The idea that the nrmal human bdy temperature is abut 37℃was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich in 1851.（1851年，德国医生Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich首次提出了正常人体温度约为37℃的观点。）”和第二段中的“Recent studies have shwn that temperature recrds f grups f peple have tended t run lw cmpared t the accepted nrm（最近的研究表明，与公认的标准相比，人群的体温记录往往较低）”可知，Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich提出人类标准体温大约是37℃。故选D项。
33.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Recent studies have shwn that temperature recrds f grups f peple have tended t run lw cmpared t the accepted standard, s the Stanfrd team, led by Julie Par-snnet, MD, prfessr f medicine and f health research and plicy, decided t d a mre in-depth study t cmpare mdern measurements with histrical recrds t try t identify bdy temperature trends and, perhaps, uncver the reasn why this cling is happening.（最近的研究表明，与公认的标准相比，人群的体温记录往往较低，因此，由医学、健康研究与政策教授Julie Par snnet医学博士领导的斯坦福大学团队决定进行一项更深入的研究，将现代测量值与历史记录进行比较，试图确定体温趋势，揭示这种冷却现象发生的原因。）”及第三段关于两个不同历史时期体温的对比可知，该研究团队对比研究了历史和当前的人体体温数据。故选C项。
34.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“One pssibility is that imprvements in public health ver 200 years have reduced the incidence f inflammatins(炎症), which prmte metablism. This cmbined with peple living mre cmfrtable lives in mre stable envirnments means that the bdy desn’t have t wrk as hard t stay warm, s the average temperature falls.（一种可能性是，200多年来公共卫生的改善降低了炎症的发生率，炎症可以促进新陈代谢。这与人们在更稳定的环境中过着更舒适的生活相结合，意味着身体不必为了保暖而努力工作，因此平均温度会下降。）”可推知，生活条件的改善使人类的标准体温降低。故选B项。
35.主旨大意题。由第一段“The idea that the nrmal human bdy temperature is abut 37℃was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it’s becme s widely accepted that it serves as a tuchstne fr health—a diagnstic tl used by physicians and parents as a basic indicatr f whether smene is sick r well. Hwever, it turns ut that this well-established fact isn’t, in fact, crrect—r, t put it mre accurately, human beings have been getting cler ver the years.（1851年, 德国医生Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich首次提出了正常人体温度约为37℃的观点。从那时起， 它被广泛接受，成为健康的试金石——医生和父母使用的诊断工具，作为判断某人是否生病或健康的基本指标。然而，事实证明，事实上，这个公认的事实是不正确的——或者，更准确地说，人类多年来一直在变冷。）”以及后文可知，本文介绍了斯坦福大学的一项研究：自19世纪末以来，人类的标准体温有所下降，由此推断，C项Human bdy temperature has decreased ver the years（人体温度多年来一直在下降）为最佳标题。故选C项。
36—40 BADCG
36.根据上下文你是“I”人还是“E”人，“I”指的是内向型人格，“E”指的是外向型人格，可知这两种人格标签是网络上广泛讨论的内容，故选B。
37.根据后文的举例可知，当一个内向的人跟一群内向的朋友在一起时，他们可能会像外向型的人一样，因此可推断，即使一个人很安静内向，有时一个“I”人也会有外向的一面，故选A。
38.根据上文Accrding t psychlgists, this idea f temprarily switching persnalities is called “masking”.心理学家表示，这种短暂的人格切换是一种“伪装”。可知，就是在特定的情况下隐藏自己的真实性格，其中masking对应hiding，故选D。
39.根据上文中的例子表明，作者曾经一度过于相信MBTI的定义和描述，甚至误解姐姐做旅行不像所谓的“P”型人格特点，可知，直到那时作者才发现自己过于在意这个测试结果，故选C。
40.根据本段前文，MBTI人格测试可能会让你更了解自己，在结实新朋友时，我们也可以把它当作一个破冰的话题。但它就是个乐子而已。知道某人的性格测试结果并不意味着你真的了解他/她，由此可知，这四个字母的性格测试结果也并不能定义你是谁，故选G。

答案及解析
文章大意：本文为说明文，讲述的是红腹锦鸡的特点，生活习性以及观察难度。
56. is cnsidered 考查谓语动词的时态与语态。分析句子结构可知，这里应该填谓语。由句意可知，红腹锦鸡被认为是好运和繁荣的象征，所以用一般现在时的被动式。
57. with 考查接此外。be decrated with是固定搭配，意思是“被……装饰”。由句意可知，官员官服上装饰了红腹锦鸡的图案，作为权力和权威的象征。
58. where考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句，先行词是dense frests，关系词充当了后面从句there are lts f trees and bushes的地点状语，所以用关系副词where来引导。
59. muntainus 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，and连接两个并列的名词结构“dense areas and pen muntainus regins”，需要用形容词修饰名词，muntain的形容词为muntainus。
60. insects 考查名词单复数。分析句子结构可知，在句子“They will als eat small insects and invertebrates”中，insect与 invertebrates一样，充当eat的宾语，应该用可数名词的复数形式。
61. t stay 考查非谓语动词。tend t d sth是固定搭配，意思是“倾向于做某事”。本句意思为“冬天的时候，它们倾向于靠近人类，吃麦叶和种子。”
62. pssibly 考查副词。分析句子结构可知，此处应该用副词修饰后面because引导的原因状语从句。一般情况下，以-ble/-ple/-tle结尾的形容词变副词时，去e，加字母y。
63. shcked 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，当受到惊吓时，红腹锦鸡会突然飞走，主语they与shck之间是逻辑上的被动关系，应用过去分词形式。
64. challenging 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，这里应该用一个形容词充当句子的表语，与系动词is一起构成系表结构。
65. the 考查冠词。in the mrning是一个固定搭配，意思是“在上午，在早上”。

读后续写写作：
写作提示：故事人物：I, Jerry, my father, Ned, ther bys
主要情节：跟小伙伴攀爬悬崖，爬到一半，不敢上也不敢下。Jerry爬上去后，忧虑地看了我一眼，就跟随其他小伙伴一起离去。
续写第一段：
根据第二段的开头As darkness began t fall，可知作者在峭壁上停留了一段时间， 可以描写“我”的心理和情感，以及周围的环境。第一段段末与第二段段首要相互衔接。
续写第二段：
“我”听到了Jerry和爸爸的声音，可知Jerry是回去找大人一起来搭救“我”的，从而给我信心和鼓励，爸爸则作为指导和鼓励的角色出现。最终，作者可以在朋友和父亲的鼓励与指导下原路返回；也可克服困难和恐惧最终一步步爬上悬崖顶峰。从而体现碰到困难，哀求，后悔，抱怨都是无用的，只能靠自己一点点解决问题。
Pssible versin 1:
Time passed and I lked dwn. I was vercme by dizziness, fearing it was much t far and I culd never climb back dwn. I wuld lse my grasp, fall and die. But the way up t the tp was even wrse—higher, steeper, mre dangerus and I wuld never make it. I heard smene sbbing and maning; I wndered wh it was and realized that it was myself. I lay n my stmach, t hrrified t mve. Gradually, the sun disappeared frm the treetps.
As darkness began t fall, I heard the vices f Jerry and my father. “I can’t cme dwn!” I cried. “I’ll fall. I culd die!” “Yu climbed up,” my father said in a perfectly nrmal cmfrting tne. “Yu can get dwn the same way. Lk at the rck where I’m shining the light.” Father pinted the beam up, “Put yur ft n that rck.” It seemed pssible. One little step after anther, I inched backward and finally int my father’s strng arms, sbbing a little, and surprisingly, feeling a sense f accmplishment. It was a lessn I wuld never frget.
Pssible versin 2:
Time passed and I lked dwn. I was hrrified at the pssibilities. My heart failed a beat and fear squeezed my whle bdy. Immediately, I lay n my stmach, unable t mve. Simultaneusly, a sense f regret and despair slwly crept upn me, rippling ver my bdy. Hw I wish I had listened t what my mther had said. “Will Jerry ask fr help?” “Will I be saved?” “Will the bys tease abut my being a cward r a mmma’s by?” Many questins flated thrugh my mind.

Three years later, while wrking at a cmmunity cllege, I became friends with the president’s secretary. She encuraged me t take classes and get a teaching degree. I wrestled with the idea fr several mnths and finally enrlled in ne class that fall. T my amazement, I lved schl. I lved learning. S, in the spring, I enrlled in tw classes while wrking full-time. I dubled up n classes, even ging in the summer mnths. I wn’t say it was easy.

I stared after her in disbelief. Out f the muth f babes! In that mment, my life changed. I wanted t be frty with a cllege degree!
I dn’t knw what gt me t the finish line, but fur mnths after my frtieth birthday, I walked prudly acrss the stage t receive my Bachelr’s in Educatin. Three years later, I received my Master’s in English. That ne decisin I made s many years ag pened drs t new wrlds that I had never dreamed f befre.

The idea that the nrmal human bdy temperature is abut 37℃was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it’s becme s widely accepted that it serves as a tuchstne fr health---a diagnstic tl used by physicians and parents as a basic indicatr f whether smene is sick r well. Hwever, it turns ut that this well-established fact isn’t, in fact, crrect—r, t put it mre accurately, human beings have been getting cler ver the years.
Recent studies have shwn that temperature recrds f grups f peple have tended t run lw cmpared t the accepted standard, s the Stanfrd team, led by Julie Par-snnet, MD, prfessr f medicine and f health research and plicy, decided t d a mre in-depth study t cmpare mdern measurements with histrical recrds t try t identify bdy temperature trends and, perhaps, uncver the reasn why this cling is happening.
Fr their research, the Stanfrd team lked at three distinct data sets frm tw histrical perids. After ging thrugh 677,423 temperature measurements, the team fund that men brn in the 21st century had an average bdy temperature f 0.6°C lwer than that f thse brn in the early 19th century while mdern wmen shwed an average decrease f 0.03°C cmpared t thse brn in the 1890s.
As t why this is happening, the researchers say that the mst likely mechanism is a reductin in the human metablic rate(代谢率) due t envirnmental factrs: One pssibility is that imprvements in public health ver 200 years have reduced the incidence f inflammatins(炎症), which prmte metablism. This cmbined with peple living mre cmfrtable lives in mre stable envirnments means that the bdy desn’t have t wrk as hard t stay warm, s the average temperature falls.
“The envirnment that we’re living in has changed, including the temperature in ur hmes, ur cntact with micrrganisms(微生物) and the fd that we have access t. All these things mean that althugh we cnsider human beings as the same fr all f human evlutin, we’re nt the same. We’re actually changing physilgically,” Parsnnet said.
32. What is Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich’s achievement?
A. He set up standards fr human health services.
B. He predicted trends in human bdy temperature.
C. He first used bdy temperature as a health indicatr.
D. He prpsed the standard human bdy temperature.
33. What can we learn abut the Stanfrd team’s study?
A. It shws wmen have a lwer bdy temperature than men.
B. It prves human bdy temperature has drpped at an alarming rate.
C. It cmpared histrical and current human bdy temperature data.
D. It suggested updating the definitin f the average bdy temperature.
34. What leads t the decrease in human bdy temperature?
A. The cntact with ther creatures.
B. The imprved living cnditins.
C. The decline in physically demanding wrk.
D. The adaptatin f humans t climate change.
35. Which ne culd be the best title fr the text?

Are yu an “I persn” r an “E persn”? 36 They are part f a ppular persnality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicatr, r MBTI. All f the results have fur letters, and there are 16 results in ttal. “I” and “E” refer t “intrverted”(内向的) and “extrverted”(外向的), respectively.
37 Fr example, when an intrverted persn is with a grup f intrverted friends, they might becme mre scial like an “E” persn.
Accrding t psychlgists, this idea f temprarily switching persnalities is called “masking”. 38 “Human beings want t feel they belng, and they might becme peple-pleasers t d s,” wrte the MasterClass website.
Using the MBTI result t identify and describe smene’s persnality seems fun. Hwever, I went t far at ne time. My sister was excitedly making a day-t-day travel plan when I remembered frm an article that “P” peple dn’t like t make r stick t plans, s I said t her, “Yu dn’t seem like a ‘P persn’.” “Why?” she asked back. “Since when d I need t fllw what my persnality test tells me t d?” 39
The MBTI persnality test may shw smething yu dn’t knw abut yurself and can even be fun ice-breaker questin when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is—fun. Knwing smene’s MBTI result desn’t mean yu really knw this persn. 40
A. Even if smene is typically quiet, many nline discussins suggest that an “I” persn can still act utging at times.
B. These tw persnality labels in particular are widely discussed nline.

It was a ht July day in Philadelphia and I can feel it still, 56 years later. The five bys I was with had grwn tired f playing marbles and were seeking fr smething different.
“Hey!” said freckle-faced (脸上有雀斑的) little Ned. “I gt an idea. We haven’t climbed the cliff(悬崖) fr a lng while.”
“Let’s g!” said smene else excitedly. I hesitated. I lnged t be brave and active like them, but I’d been a sickly child mst f my eight years and my mther warned me nt t take chances.
“Cme n!” called Jerry, my best friend. “Just being sick is n reasn t a cward(胆小鬼).”
“I’m cming!” I yelled, running after them.
We finally came t the cliff, a near vertical(垂直的) wall f rcks sticking ut dangerusly, and earth slides, scraggly(乱蓬蓬的) bushes and yung trees. It was nly abut 60 feet high, but t me it lked like the very symbl f the Frbidden and Impssible.
One by ne, the ther bys climbed upward, finding handhlds and tehlds n rck. Trembling and sweating, I began t climb. A hand here, a ft there, my heart punding in my skinny chest, I made my way up and up.
At sme pint, I lked back and was hrrified. The grund at the base f the cliff seemed very far belw; ne slip and I wuld fall, buncing ff the cliff face and ending n the rcks.
In a few minutes the bys started up t the tp, frm where they wuld walk hme by a rundabut(迂回) rute. Befre they left, they glanced dwn at me.
“Hey, wait!” I begged.
“Yu can stay if yu want t,” teased Ned, and the ther laughed.

Pssible versin 1:
Time passed and I lked dwn. I was vercme by dizziness, fearing it was much t far and I culd never climb back dwn. I wuld lse my grasp, fall and die. But the way up t the tp was even wrse—higher, steeper, mre dangerus and I wuld never make it. I heard smene sbbing and maning; I wndered wh it was and realized that it was myself. I lay n my stmach, t hrrified t mve. Gradually, the sun disappeared frm the treetps.
As darkness began t fall, I heard the vices f Jerry and my father. “I can’t cme dwn!” I cried. “I’ll fall. I culd die!” “Yu climbed up,” my father said in a perfectly nrmal cmfrting tne. “Yu can get dwn the same way. Lk at the rck where I’m shining the light.” Father pinted the beam up, “Put yur ft n that rck.” It seemed pssible. One little step after anther, I inched backward and finally int my father’s strng arms, sbbing a little, and surprisingly, feeling a sense f accmplishment. It was a lessn I wuld never frget.
Pssible versin 2:
Time passed and I lked dwn. I was hrrified at the pssibilities. My heart failed a beat and fear squeezed my whle bdy. Immediately, I lay n my stmach, unable t mve. Simultaneusly, a sense f regret and despair slwly crept upn me, rippling ver my bdy. Hw I wish I had listened t what my mther had said. “Will Jerry ask fr help?” “Will I be saved?” “Will the bys tease abut my being a cward r a mmma’s by?” Many questins flated thrugh my mind.
As darkness began t fall, I heard the vices f Jerry and my father. I suddenly felt happy beynd expressin. Hwever, what surprised me a lt was that they were n the tp f the cliff, with flashlights in their hands. “Yu can make it! Yu are nt a cward!” Jerry yelled at me. Fllwing my father’s instructin and encuragement, I inched upward, carefully feeling fr the tehld n rck with my left ft and finding it. One step at a time, ne handhld at a time, gradually I regained my cnfidence. My father and Jerry kept encuraging me t climb up the cliff. That was an experience I wuld never frget.

Hwever, it turns ut that this well-established fact isn’t, in fact, crrect—r, t put it mre accurately, human beings have been getting cler ver the years.（1851年, 德国医生Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich首次提出了正常人体温度约为37℃的观点。从那时起， 它被广泛接受，成为健康的试金石——医生和父母使用的诊断工具，作为判断某人是否生病或健康的基本指标。然而，事实证明，事实上，这个公认的事实是不正确的——或者，更准确地说，人类多年来一直在变冷。）”以及后文可知，本文介绍了斯坦福大学的一项研究：自19世纪末以来，人类的标准体温有所下降，由此推断，C项Human bdy temperature has decreased ver the years（人体温度多年来一直在下降）为最佳标题。故选C项。
36—40 BADCG
36.根据上下文你是“I”人还是“E”人，“I”指的是内向型人格，“E”指的是外向型人格，可知这两种人格标签是网络上广泛讨论的内容，故选B。
37.根据后文的举例可知，当一个内向的人跟一群内向的朋友在一起时，他们可能会像外向型的人一样，因此可推断，即使一个人很安静内向，有时一个“I”人也会有外向的一面，故选A。
38.根据上文Accrding t psychlgists, this idea f temprarily switching persnalities is called “masking”.心理学家表示，这种短暂的人格切换是一种“伪装”。可知，就是在特定的情况下隐藏自己的真实性格，其中masking对应hiding，故选D。
39.根据上文中的例子表明，作者曾经一度过于相信MBTI的定义和描述，甚至误解姐姐做旅行不像所谓的“P”型人格特点，可知，直到那时作者才发现自己过于在意这个测试结果，故选C。
40.根据本段前文，MBTI人格测试可能会让你更了解自己，在结实新朋友时，我们也可以把它当作一个破冰的话题。但它就是个乐子而已。知道某人的性格测试结果并不意味着你真的了解他/她，由此可知，这四个字母的性格测试结果也并不能定义你是谁，故选G。

答案及解析
文章大意：本文为说明文，讲述的是红腹锦鸡的特点，生活习性以及观察难度。
56. is cnsidered 考查谓语动词的时态与语态。分析句子结构可知，这里应该填谓语。由句意可知，红腹锦鸡被认为是好运和繁荣的象征，所以用一般现在时的被动式。
57. with 考查接此外。be decrated with是固定搭配，意思是“被……装饰”。由句意可知，官员官服上装饰了红腹锦鸡的图案，作为权力和权威的象征。
58. where考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句，先行词是dense frests，关系词充当了后面从句there are lts f trees and bushes的地点状语，所以用关系副词where来引导。
59. muntainus 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，and连接两个并列的名词结构“dense areas and pen muntainus regins”，需要用形容词修饰名词，muntain的形容词为muntainus。
60. insects 考查名词单复数。分析句子结构可知，在句子“They will als eat small insects and invertebrates”中，insect与 invertebrates一样，充当eat的宾语，应该用可数名词的复数形式。
61. t stay 考查非谓语动词。tend t d sth是固定搭配，意思是“倾向于做某事”。本句意思为“冬天的时候，它们倾向于靠近人类，吃麦叶和种子。”
62. pssibly 考查副词。分析句子结构可知，此处应该用副词修饰后面because引导的原因状语从句。一般情况下，以-ble/-ple/-tle结尾的形容词变副词时，去e，加字母y。
63. shcked 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，当受到惊吓时，红腹锦鸡会突然飞走，主语they与shck之间是逻辑上的被动关系，应用过去分词形式。
64. challenging 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，这里应该用一个形容词充当句子的表语，与系动词is一起构成系表结构。
65. the 考查冠词。in the mrning是一个固定搭配，意思是“在上午，在早上”。

读后续写写作：
写作提示：故事人物：I, Jerry, my father, Ned, ther bys
主要情节：跟小伙伴攀爬悬崖，爬到一半，不敢上也不敢下。Jerry爬上去后，忧虑地看了我一眼，就跟随其他小伙伴一起离去。
续写第一段：
根据第二段的开头As darkness began t fall，可知作者在峭壁上停留了一段时间， 可以描写“我”的心理和情感，以及周围的环境。第一段段末与第二段段首要相互衔接。
续写第二段：
“我”听到了Jerry和爸爸的声音，可知Jerry是回去找大人一起来搭救“我”的，从而给我信心和鼓励，爸爸则作为指导和鼓励的角色出现。最终，作者可以在朋友和父亲的鼓励与指导下原路返回；也可克服困难和恐惧最终一步步爬上悬崖顶峰。从而体现碰到困难，哀求，后悔，抱怨都是无用的，只能靠自己一点点解决问题。
Pssible versin 1:
Time passed and I lked dwn. I was vercme by dizziness, fearing it was much t far and I culd never climb back dwn. I wuld lse my grasp, fall and die. But the way up t the tp was even wrse—higher, steeper, mre dangerus and I wuld never make it. I heard smene sbbing and maning; I wndered wh it was and realized that it was myself. I lay n my stmach, t hrrified t mve. Gradually, the sun disappeared frm the treetps.
As darkness began t fall, I heard the vices f Jerry and my father. “I can’t cme dwn!” I cried. “I’ll fall. I culd die!” “Yu climbed up,” my father said in a perfectly nrmal cmfrting tne. “Yu can get dwn the same way. Lk at the rck where I’m shining the light.” Father pinted the beam up, “Put yur ft n that rck.” It seemed pssible. One little step after anther, I inched backward and finally int my father’s strng arms, sbbing a little, and surprisingly, feeling a sense f accmplishment. It was a lessn I wuld never frget.
Pssible versin 2:
Time passed and I lked dwn. I was hrrified at the pssibilities. My heart failed a beat and fear squeezed my whle bdy. Immediately, I lay n my stmach, unable t mve. Simultaneusly, a sense f regret and despair slwly crept upn me, rippling ver my bdy. Hw I wish I had listened t what my mther had said. “Will Jerry ask fr help?” “Will I be saved?” “Will the bys tease abut my being a cward r a mmma’s by?” Many questins flated thrugh my mind.
As darkness began t fall, I heard the vices f Jerry and my father. I suddenly felt happy beynd expressin. Hwever, what surprised me a lt was that they were n the tp f the cliff, with trches in their hands. “Yu can make it! Yu are nt a cward!” Jerry yelled at me. Fllwing my father’s instructin and encuragement, I inched upward, carefully feeling fr the tehld n rck with my left ft and finding it. Suddenly I had cnfidence. One step at a time, ne handhld at a time, my father and Jerry encuraged me t climb up the cliff. That was an experience I wuld never frget.
