(2019·广东省六校联盟第三次联考)NEW YORK—A massive winter storm paralyzed much of the US East Coast on Thursday and Friday, dumping as much as 46 centimeters of snow from the Carolinas to Maine. It also caused flooding on the streets of Boston due to swelling storm tides, forced the cancellation of nearly 5，000 flights and closed businesses, offices and schools.

Some meteorologists (气象学家) classified the storm as a “bomb cyclone” for its sharp drop in atmospheric pressure would be followed immediately by a blast of cold air that could break records in more than two dozen cities and bring wind chills as low as －40℃ during the weekend.

From Baltimore, Maryland, to Caribou in Maine, efforts were underway to clear roadways of ice and snow as wind chill temperatures were to plunge during the day, reaching －40℃ in some parts after sundown, according to the National Weather Service.

Utility companies across the East worked to repair downed power lines early on Friday as about 21，000 customers remained without electricity, down from almost 80，000 the day before, and issued warnings that temperatures may become dangerously low.

“If the temperature in your home begins to fall, we recommend taking shelter elsewhere until service can be restored. You can find warming centers by contacting local authorities，” National Grid power company, which serves Massachusetts, said on Twitter.

Airlines canceled 4，000 flights on Thursday and hundreds more on Friday, according to FlightAware.com, an online tracking service.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said it could feel like ­30℃ on Friday and Saturday nights with the wind chill. “This is a serious, serious storm, and may be the most severe in 2018，” he said at a news conference.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for the southern part of the state, while New Jersey Governor Chris Christie declared a state of emergency for several counties.

(2019·石家庄市毕业班教学质量检测)Most dog owners are convinced that their four­legged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words like “sit”，“stay”or “treat”. However, researchers have always wondered whether dogs really understand human speech or if they rely on other information to get the meaning. For example, does the word “fetch” form a picture of a stick or ball in the dog's mind, or does the dog bring back the object based on the owner's voice or gesture? A new study by scientists at Atlanta's Emory University seems to indicate that “man's best friend” does indeed know what the owner is saying.

The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials, such as a toy animal and a ball. Once the dogs had mastered the task, they took turns inside a special scanner. The owners then tested their dog's language skill by first calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize and then saying meaningless words such as“bobbu” and“bodmick” while holding up random objects the dogs hadn't seen before.

The scans suggested that the parts of the dogs' brains responsible for processing sounds showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with, compared with the ones they had never heard before. While that was not enough to prove that the dogs were picturing their toys when they heard the word, it did indicate some sort of recognition. The researchers believe this is an important step in understanding how dogs process language.

Something even more interesting was that the dog's brains showed a higher level of neural (神经的) activity at the sound of unknown words. This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words. The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters. “Dogs want to please their owners, and perhaps also want to receive praise or food，” says Emory neuroscientist Gregory Berns, senior author of the study.

However, though your pet may understand human speech, the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training. “When people want to teach their dog a trick, they often use spoken commands because that's what we humans prefer，” Prichard says. “From the dog's view, however, a visual command might be more effective, helping the dog learn the trick faster.”

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，狗的确能理解主人说的话。

5．What's the purpose of the new study?

A．To convince dog owners to understand their dogs.

B．To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly.

C．To prove dogs follow owners' order by listening.

D．To test out how dogs get information from owners.

D　[细节理解题。根据第一段尾句“A new study by scientists at Atlanta's Emory University seems to indicate that ‘man's best friend’ does indeed know what the owner is saying”可知，亚特兰大的埃默里大学的科学家进行的一项新研究似乎表明，“人类最好的朋友”确实知道主人在说什么，并结合全文可知，该研究的目的是测试狗是如何理解主人的话的，故D项正确。]

6．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?

A．Inform the result of the research.

B．State the process of the research.

C．Stress the importance of the research.

D．Introduce the subjects of the research.

B　[写作意图题。根据第二段第一句“The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials, such as a toy animal and a ball”并结合该段内容可知，该段主要介绍了进行研究的过程，包括让不同品种的狗识别不同材料的玩具等，据此可知，该段旨在介绍研究过程，故B项正确。]

7．How do human brains and dog brains react to words?

A．Human brains become active in unfamiliar words.

B．Dog brains become delighted at unfamiliar words.

C．Human brains are not sensitive to familiar words.

D．Dog brains show no response to familiar words.

B　[细节理解题。根据第四段前两句“Something even more interesting...This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words”可知，对于不熟悉的单词，狗的大脑呈现出高水平的神经活动，而人类的大脑相反，故B项正确。]

8．What do scientists advise the owners to do in dog training?

A．Give dogs oral commands.

B．Teach dogs new tricks.

C．Involve sight and smell.

D．Encourage faster learning.

C　[细节理解题。根据尾段第一句“However, though your pet may understand human speech, the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training”可知，尽管狗可能理解人类的语言，但科学家们建议使用视觉信号和嗅觉来训练它们，故C项正确。]

Ⅱ.阅读七选五

(2019·长沙市统一模拟)It is not as simple as opening the door and hitting the track in winter. There are a few things you can do to ensure you are getting the most out of your run and, importantly, not doing more harm than good.

Warm up, cool down

  1  . Your muscles need some time to warm up when it's cold, so take it easy when you set off and do a few stretches once you're finished.

Drink water

You might not feel hot, but that's because sweat evaporates(蒸发) more quickly into the chilly, dry air. So be sure to drink water before, during and after cold­weather workouts.   2  . A belt bottle conveniently attaches to your waist so you don't have to carry it and can have a drink whenever you feel like it.

  3 

Running in cotton is a bad idea. Wear thin, breathable layers of synthetic(合成的) clothing that help protect you from the wind and snow, but still let out heat and moisture. Thirty percent of your body heat escapes through your hands and forty percent through your head. Wear a hat, or beanie(无檐小便帽), and gloves so your circulatory system can distribute warm blood to the rest of your body.   4  ．

Run into the wind

  5  . Obviously, it will be an easier passage home with some extra help from Mother Nature. But, more importantly, you won't have the wind in your face for the second half of your run, when you are more likely to be sweating and catch a chill.

A．Dress right

B．Keep warm

C．Don't go too fast, too soon

D．Start and finish in the same way

E．Don't wait to drink water until you feel thirsty

F．Head out into the wind and come home with it at your back

G．On really cold days, wear a mask or scarf over your mouth to protect your face

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了冬季室外跑步的一些注意事项，包括做好热身运动、注意饮水以及穿合适的衣物等。

1．C　[根据该段小标题Warm up, cool down以及空后的“Your muscles need some time to warm up”可知，C项符合语境。]

2．E　[根据段落小标题Drink water并结合空前一句“So be sure to drink water before, during and after cold­weather workouts”可知，E项“不要等到你感到口渴的时候才喝水”符合语境，衔接上文。]

3．A　[根据空处所在位置以及文章结构可知，空处为段落小标题；通读该段可知，本段主要是讲跑步时的穿着，故选A项。]

4．G　[空处所在段讲的是冬季室外跑步的着装要求，故G项与此处匹配。]

5．F　[根据本段的小标题Run into the wind并结合空后一句可知，跑步回家时顺着风，让风在你背后推着你走，故F项符合语境。]

Ⅳ.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。续写的词数应为150左右。

When I was ten years old, I lived with my family in a small house in rural South Jersey. I often accompanied my mother to the A&P to buy groceries. Without a car, we walked, and I would help her carry the bags.

My mother had to shop very carefully, as she was a waitress, and her salary barely sustained (勉强维持) us. One day, while she was weighing prices, a promotional display for the World Book Encyclopedia caught my eye. The volumes were beautifully cream­colored. Volume Ⅰ was ninety­nine cents with a ten­dollar purchase.

All I could think of while shopping was the book. I stood at the register (收银台) with my mother, holding my breath as the cashier rang up the items. It came to over eleven dollars. My mother produced a five, some singles, and a handful of change. As she was counting out the money, I somehow found the courage to ask for the encyclopedia (百科全书). “Could we get one？” I said, showing her the display. “It's only ninety­nine cents.”

I did not understand my mother's increasing anxiety; she did not have enough change and had to sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount, “Not now, Patricia，” she said sternly. “Today is not a good day.” I packed the groceries and followed her home, upset.

The next Saturday, my mother gave me a dollar and sent me to the A&P alone. Two quarts of milk and a loaf of bread — that's what a dollar in 1957. I went straight to the World Book display. There was only one first volume left, which I placed in my cart (购物车). I didn't need a cart, but took one so I could read as I went up and down the aisles. A lot of time went by and I knew I had to leave, but I couldn't bear to part with the book. With no detective in sight, I, impulsively (冲动地), put it inside my shirt and zipped up my jacket. I was a tall, skinny kid, and I am certain the shape of the book was obvious.

Paragraph 1：

My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register.                                                                       

Paragraph 2：

Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective.                                                                       

【参考范文】　

Paragraph 1：

My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register. I paid the dollar for the three items and was about to leave when I felt a heavy tap on my shoulder. It was a big detective. “You stole something. You will be searched，” he announced. Horrified, I slid the book out from inside the shirt and handed it over. “An encyclopedia？” he asked, somewhat surprised. “Yes，” I whispered, trembling. “Why didn't you ask your parents to purchase it？” “I did, but they didn't have the money.” With a sigh, he made me promise to tell my parents about my wrongdoing and then let me leave.

Paragraph 2：

Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective. Unexpectedly, she didn't explode as usual. She fell silent, looking extremely anxious. Consumed with guilt, I gathered my courage, apologized and promised that it would never ever happen again. “All will be OK！” said my mother, wrapping me in her arms. Then she told me that she would go to the A&P to tell the detective I had admitted and that I should play outside. Hours later, when I was back home, I noticed a bag with my name on it. I opened it and packed inside was the World Book Encyclopedia, volume Ⅰ.
