    Two weeks ago, I had volunteered to raise three newborn American barn owls(仓鸮). When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation(康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising "the babies", I was overjoyed! Twelve years earlier, the center had received a pair of barn owls, and since then more than 100 of them have been bred and released. Thoughts poured through my head of hours happily spent raising these babies and working with them until they were fully grown. Tossing them up into the sky where they would begin their lives anew in the wild would be so incredibly rewarding.
    However, I had assumed incorrectly that we were going to release all of them. In fact, two of the owls were to be released, but the third owl was to be used as an educational animal. For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me. Sensing my anger, our director suggested that before I denounced the plan for this owl, I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment, to see what is accomplished. While still ready to regard this plan as a horrible use of an owl, I reluctantly agreed to go.
    Then, things took a 180-degree turn. I found that I had been naive(天真的) in my assumption that most people knew as much about wildlife as I did, and that they shared my respect for animals. The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum(负鼠) that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot(豹猫). They were full of questions and eager to know more. At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6- and 7-year-olds who, with the "help" of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light.
    That afternoon, I returned from the educational assignment with a new-found sense of purpose and happily commenced the task at hand-feeding little pieces of mice to Athena, our newest educational ambassador.
4. How did the author react to the director's request?
A. He agreed happily. B. He turned it down.
C. He said yes unwillingly. D. He questioned his intention.
5. What does the underlined word "denounced" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Finished. B. Agreed. C. Changed. D. Blamed.
6. What did the author find about the school children?
A. They explored the outdoors often.
B. They were eager to raise an animal.
C. They knew little about the surrounding wildlife.
D. They had volunteered to join the animal education program.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. A kept owl is protecting the owl's future
B. Saving the world begins with saving an owl
C. The earth's future is in the hands of children
D. Sending animals back to the wild is not the end
C
"How do they walk in these things？" complains Jack Lemmon,walking with difficulty in his heels,newly dressed as his another identity Josephine,in the film "Some Like It Hot".
High heels were,in fact,originally designed for men - and had an extremely practical purpose.Soldiers on horseback wore them in 10th-century Persia,according to Elizabeth Semmel hack of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto.The heel helped keep them stable as they stood up in their stirrups （马镫） and took aim at enemies with bows and arrows （cowboy boots still use heels in this way）.Over time,heels appeared on the shoes of male nobles across Europe.Yet from the mid17th century,heels became associated with supposedly "feminine" qualities,and so became women's wear.Until the mid-20th century heels were heavy,heavy things.After the Second World War,techniques and materials used in aircraft engineering were applied to shoes,creating the stiletto （细高跟）.The high,narrow heel requires a thin metal pole,strong enough to bear the wearer's weight yet flexible enough to allow the shoe to move.
Shoemakers have searched actively for a right heel.They aim to reduce the angle created by a high heel,which forces the few square centimeteres of the ball of your foot to bear the entire weight of your body.Joan Oloff,a podiatrist-turned-shoe-designer,makes footwear lined with memory foam （泡沫） to absorb the shock of each painful step.The bottom part of the shoe is crafted to support the arch of the foot and distribute the wearer's weight more equally.Antonia Saint Dunbar,an entrepreneur,makes shoes with a heel cup and strips inside to stop the foot slipping around and getting blisters （水泡）.And growing numbers of companies make shoes with adjustable heels：two inches for the boardroom,four for the nightclub,none for home.
However,the wisest are stepping down altogether：in 2016，for the first time,more British women bought trainers than heels.
8. Why is a scene in "Some Like It Hot" mentioned in Paragraph 1？ ______
A. To recommend this film.
B. To explain Jack's double identity.
C. To introduce the topic of high heels.
D. To stress the difficulty of walking in heels.
9. How does Paragraph 2 mainly develop？ ______
A. By presenting research findings.
B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By following the order of importance.
10. What was the original purpose of high heels？ ______
A. To keep soldiers fighting on horseback steady.
B. To keep cowboys standing up in stirrups safe.
C. To show off the beauty of women.
D. To show the nobility of Europeans.
11. What have shoemakers tried their best to do？ ______
A. Popularize shoes with adjustable heels.
B. Help women find the right high heels.
C. Encourage women to wear trainers.
D. Make high heels comfortable.

    What is an orchestral (管弦乐) musician's job? To show up in glamorous concert halls, give the best performances humanly possible, then pack up and go home? Or is it something more than that?
    To cellist (大提琴演奏家) Yo-Yo Ma, what happens in gilded venues such as Orchestra Hall, home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO), is but one facet of what a classical musician can do. The rest occurs beyond the spotlight, when musicians venture out into neighborhoods and try to change the world. That's what Ma and young colleagues have done during his decade-long tenure as the CSO's creative consultant.
    Ma has tried to influence a generation of young musicians. When Ma wasn't performing alongside the Civic Orchestra, he was visiting Chicago Public Schools, giving "Concerts for Peace," helping design a Symphony concert series for ages 3 to 5 and inspiring Civic musicians to bring their art to correctional facilities, homeless shelters, violence-plagued Chicago neighborhoods and other places where they're desperately needed. The idea has been to persuade gifted young musicians to think beyond the rigors(艰苦) of their instruments and the lure of the limelight, to envision how their music can change people's lives.
    The question is whether Ma's passion for using music to serve society—and to address its many ills—has compelled the Civic Orchestra musicians to do likewise on their own. The best indications come from the young artists themselves, particularly those who have become Civic Fellows, a program launched in 2013 to propel them into "teaching, community engagement and program planning," according to the orchestra.
    Violist Helen Hess was in the first wave of Civic Fellows. "The visit to the homeless shelter was the first time I'd been anywhere like that. It opens your eyes to things you might never have been exposed to. It's taught me to find common ground and interact with different kinds of people," Hess said.
12. What has Yo-Yo Ma been inspiring young musicians to do?
A. Put true feelings into their music.
B. Make a difference through music.
C. Attract more children to learn music.
D. Show the best of themselves on stage.
13. What do we know about Civic Fellows?
A. It is a result of Yo-Yo Ma's influence.
B. It was founded by Yo-Yo Ma in 2013.
C. It aims to build confidence in young artists.
D. It encourages artists to learn from each other.
14. How did Helen Hess describe her visit to the homeless shelter?
A. It inspired her to practice her performance skills.
B. It helped her see her own weaknesses.
C. It caused her to treasure her own life.
D. It enabled her to relate to others.
15. Which of the following words can best describe Yo-Yo Ma as a musician?
A. Caring. B. Demanding. C. Ambitious. D. Humorous.
Baseball is known as the national entertainment in America.As children,many Americans play baseball in Little League teams.Later,some go on to play in Major League Baseball teams. (1)

4~7.【答案】A、D、C、A
【解析】【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者抚养幼年仓鸮并参与教育项目的经历，通过这一经历作者认识到抚养野生动物并以此对孩子们进行教育是十分必要的。
1. 根据第一段第二句When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation(康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising "the babies", I was overjoyed!（当当地一家野生动物康复中心的负责人第一次联系我，问我是否有兴趣抚养“幼鸟”时，我欣喜若狂！）可知，听到负责人的请求后，作者欣喜若狂，由此推知，作者欣然应允了。故选A。

2. 根据划线词上文For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me.（其中一只仓鸮被中心扣留，另外两只它的兄弟姐妹却要被放生，这似乎很残忍，让我感到很气愤。）可知，作者觉得康复中心计划放飞两只仓鸮而滞留一只的做法是残忍的。由此可推知，作者对这样的计划是不赞同的，提出指责的，因此划线词“denounced”意思是“指责；谴责”。A.Finished.完成；B.Agreed.同意；C.Changed.改变；D.Blamed.责备。故选D。

3. 根据第三段第三句和第四句The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum(负鼠) that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot(豹猫).（我演讲的学校里的孩子们从未见过我给他们看的仓鸮或负鼠，尽管他们都是我们地区的普通居民。他们中的许多人甚至从未听说过豹猫。）可知，这些孩子对周遭的野生动物所知甚少。故选C。

4. 作者在文中分享了自己的经历：志愿为当地一家动物康复中心喂养三只幼年仓鸮，却发现该康复中心意图在小仓鸮成年后放飞其中的两只，而保留一只用于教育项目。作者觉得这一做法过于残忍，愤懑至极。但当他参与了一次教育项目之后，发现这么做很有意义，随之态度发生改变。结合第三段最后一句At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6- and 7-year-olds who, with the "help" of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light.（在那一刻，我突然意识到，在我面前的教室里挤满了6、7岁的孩子，他们在仓鸮的帮助下，正在学习以全新的视角看待自然。）可知，作者认识到留下一只仓鸮是十分有必要的，这样有利于孩子们了解自然，才能更好的保护野生动物。因而A项（喂养仓鸮就是保护仓鸮的未来）适合作为本文标题。故选A。

（3）A.细节理解题。根据第二段"Soldiers on horseback wore them in 10th-century Persia,according to Elizabeth Semmel hack of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto.The heel helped keep them stable as theystood up in their stirrups（马镫） and took aim at enemies with bows and arrows（cowboy boots stil use heels in this way），"（多伦多巴塔鞋博物馆的伊丽莎白-塞梅尔称，10世纪的波斯，骑马的士兵都穿这种鞋。鞋跟帮助他们站在马镫上保持稳定并使用弓箭瞄准敌人，牛仔靴至今仍使用这种鞋跟）可知，高跟鞋最初的设计目的是帮助在马背上作战的士兵保持稳定，故选A。
（4）D.细节理解题。根据第三段"Shoemakers have searched actively feyr a right heel.They aim to reduce the angle created by a high heel,which forces the few square centimeteres of the ball of your foot to lbear the entire weight of your body."（鞋匠们一直在积极寻找合适的鞋跟。他们的目标是减少高跟鞋所产生的角度，高跟鞋迫使几平方厘米的前脚掌承受整个身体的重量）可知，鞋匠们一直努力让高跟鞋更舒适，故选D。

【解析】（1）D．细节理解题。根据前文"Later,some go on to play in Major League Baseball teams.（后来，一些人继续在美国职业棒球大联盟球队打球。）"可知，参加美国职业棒球大联盟是一部分孩子的选择。D项"Others become sports fans and follow their team everywhere.（其他人则成为体育迷，到处追随他们的球队。）"中的"Others"与前文中的"some"对应，用来说明另一些孩子们的最终选择。所以D选项符合语境，故选D。
（2）C．细节理解题。根据后文"These bases are about 30 meters apart and are known as first base,second base,third base and home.（这些垒位之间相距约30米，被称为一垒、二垒、三垒和本垒。）"可知，共有四个垒位。C项"They play on a field with four bases in the shape of a diamond.（他们在一个由四个垒组成的菱形场地上比赛。）"中的"four bases"对应了后文中的"first base、second base、third base and home"。所以C选项符合语境，故选C。

（4）B．推理判断题。根据前文"And since then,baseball has grown in popularity.（从那时起，棒球越来越受欢迎。）"可知，棒球运动开始受欢迎。B项"In 1992，the sport was introduced as an Olympic game.（1992年，这项运动被引入奥运会。）"是"越来越受欢迎"的一种表现。故选B。

本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了棒球比赛的规则及发展等相关情况。
"七选五"这样的题型，主要目的在于考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。解题时最主要的两个步骤就是1．理清文章的逻辑和结构，2．在所给的原文中找出关键词或者说是线索词。文章的整体思路能帮助你在答案中筛选出符合逻辑的选项，关键词则能帮助你确定更多的细节，排除相近的选项。得出正确的答案。
