A letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives(档案馆) by the FBI after being stolen twice.
“We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing,” says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Archives. “It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生), from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes,” and the intern put the letter back. “The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.”
Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a clue that the stolen letter was located very close to Washington, D．C． Their art crime team got back the letter but were unable to accuse the suspect because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both genuine and exactly belonged to Smithsonian.
The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the area that would become Yellowstone National Park.
The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. “It was luckily in good shape,” says Kapsalis, “and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.”
It would be difficult to steal things like the letter. “Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s,” says Kapsalis, “and we keep our high value objects in a safe that I can’t even reach.”
4．What happened to Darwin’s letter in the 1970s?
A．It was got back by the FBI. B．It was stolen more than once.
C．It was bought by the archives. D．It was put in the archives for research purpose.
5．What did the FBI do after getting back the letter?
A．They proved its real identity. B．They kept it in a safe.
C．They helped repair the letter. D．They accused the suspect but failed.
6．What will the Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?
A．Display it in the Archives.
B．Turn it into an item of interest.
C．Carry out a major repair.
D．Make it available on line.
7．What can we learn from the passage?
A．People grow more interested in art objects
B．Strict safety measures are taken in Archives.
C．The value of museum objects has been increased.
D．The letter helped Ferdinand do research into geology.
There are plenty of concerns about robots stealing jobs from hard-working, flesh-and-blood humans. However, Japan’s Henna “Strange” Hotel has fired half of its 243 robot staff, because these labor-saving machines were causing more problems than they were solving— and requiring humans to come in and fix things as a result.
One of the victims of the robot layoffs was a doll-shaped robot called Cheri, which functioned as an artificial intelligence assistant. Unfortunately. Cheri tuned out to be pretty poor at answering questions from hotel guests. A pair of dinosaur robots, which worked at the hotel check-in, were also made non-existent by the firings since they wound up being unable to do many of the jobs required of 8 receptionist. A concierge (服务台职员) robot, meanwhile, was replaced by a human better able to answer important questions about nearby tourist attractions. Humans are also now going to carry luggage to the rooms, one quarter of which the previous porter robots were only able to reach—and only in excellent weather conditions.
Not surprisingly, the hotel, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, allured curious visitors from all around the world. Encouraged by the success the hotel s owner, Sawada opened seven additional locations across Japan and announced plans to build at least 50 more.
In the end, though, it seems that—as great as robots can be—they’re simply not suitable for every role just yet. With the rise of robot bar-tenders, robot-staffed restaurants and the like, it will be interesting to see how many similar concepts fall apart in the coming years. After all, once the novelty of a dinosaur robot on reception wears off, you’re just faced with a receptionist who can’t properly understand you and lacks an effective number of fingers on each hand to properly photocopy your passport.
8．Which of the following was used to answer such questions as scenic spots?
A．A porter robot. B．A dinosaur robot.
C．A concierge robot. D．A doll-shaped robot.
9．What does the underlined word “allured” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A．attracted B．relaxed C．thrilled D．upset
10．What does the author think of the robot staff?
A．They did better than humans.
B．They couldn’t replace humans entirely.
C．The rest of them will be fired.
D．They were a big challenge for humans.
11．What might be the most suitable title of the text?
A．World’s First Robot-staffed Hotel.
B．Robots Perform Various Functions.
C．Humans Will Replace Robots Eventually.
D．Japanese Hotel Fires Half Its Robot Staff.
Ears are for hearing-everyone knows that Bur for a creature called the Cuvier’s beaked whale, hearing starts in the throat, a new study found.
The observation might help explain how all whales hear. The work might also help scientists understand how animals are affected by underwater sonar(声呐). This sonar, used by some ships, sends out sound waves to locate underwater objects.
The Cuvier’s beaked whale is a so-called toothed whale. Toothed whales dive deep into the ocean in search of food. As the whales hunt, they produce sounds that reach objects and then return to the whales. This allows the animals to “see” the shape, size, and location of objects, even when they’re 1,000 metres under the sea, where it is totally dark.
To better understand how the whale hears, researchers from San Diego State University in California took X-rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales. The whales had died and washed up on the beach.
Ted Cranford and his colleagues used the images to make a computer model of a Cuvier’s beaked whale’s head. Then, they modelled the process of sound travelling through the head. The researchers knew that some sounds get to the cars of a toothed whale through a structure called “the window for sound”. Found on the lower jaw, this structure is very thin on the outside and bas a large pad(垫) of fat on the inside.
When the researchers used their computer model to work out how sound waves travel in the whale’s head, they were surprised to find that sounds coming from right in front of the whale actually travel under the animal’s jaw. From there, sound waves move through the throat, into a hole in the hack of the jaw, and finally to the pad of fat near the animal’s ears.
12．Toothed whales ________ to search for what they will eat under the sea.
A．measure the shape and size of their objects
B．watch deep into the sea
C．ask other whales to work together
D．give out signals and wait for them to return
13．Researchers took X-rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales in order to ________.
A．find out why they had died and washed up on the beach
B．make a computer model of a Cuvier’s beaked whale’s head
C．make sure that sound travels through the head
D．know more about the way the whale hears
14．Which of the following describes the way taken by sound waves through a Cuvier’s beaked whale?
A．A hole in the back of the jaw→the cars→the jaw→the throat.
B．The jaw→the throat→hole in the back of the jaw→the ears.
C．The throat→the jaw→he ears→hole in the hack of→the jaw.
D．The ears→the throat→a hole in the back of the jaw→the jaw.
15．According to the passage, we know that __________.
A．the throat is important to the Cuvier’s beaked whale’s hearing
B．ships send out sound waves like a Cuvier’s beaked whale
C．the ears are actually useless to the Cuvier’s beaked whale
D．the researchers haven’t found how the whales hear
二、七选五
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water: We don’t know how much we depend on them until we don’t have them. 16 Here is how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.
• Reach out to the newcomers.
These days, the old Welcome Wagon (欢迎礼车) is a thing of the past. 17 If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Introduce the best places to eat and sleep. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.
• Avoid causing inconvenience.
Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good condition as soon as you’ve finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor if damaged. 18 Such acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking—and the talk will be good.
• Make time for friendships.
If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. 19 So you can plan for proper food and music.
• 20
Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If you’re truly concerned, you’ll give a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it’s needed. All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.
A．Care about details.
B．Show interest in their life
C．They make our lives more pleasant.
D．Your new neighbors are good listeners.
E．Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway.
F．This way, you will know what your neighbors are like.
G．But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure.

My friend Mike must have benefited great from humor. He is kind but overweight, which brings to him a lot of trouble. Once one of my classmate laughed at him, “Why are you so fat?” We all stopped to stare at him, wondered how Mike would answer the question. He just said in the calm voice, “Well, because my size must large enough to hold my large heart of love.” Hearing her words, we all burst into laughter.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新研究发现，居维叶喙鲸的听觉始于喉咙而不是耳朵，这可能有助于科学家更好地了解动物如何受到水下声纳的影响，并帮助人们更好地利用声纳技术定位水下物体。研究人员使用X光检查和计算机模拟声波在鲸鱼头部传播的过程，发现声音实际上是从鲸鱼下颌下传播，穿过喉咙最终到达耳朵附近的脂肪垫。
12．细节理解题。根据第三段“As the whales hunt, they produce sounds that reach objects and then return to the whales. This allows the animals to “see” the shape, size, and location of objects, even when they’re 1,000 metres under the sea, where it is totally dark.(当鲸鱼狩猎时，它们发出的声音到达物体，然后返回鲸鱼身边。这使得动物能够“看到”物体的形状、大小和位置，即使它们在1000米深的海底，那里完全是黑暗的。)”可知，鲸鱼寻找食物时先发出声音，根据返回的声音定位食物。D选项“give out signals and wait for them to return(释放信号等待返回)”符合文意。故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据第四段“To better understand how the whale hears, researchers from San Diego State University in California took X-rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales.(为了更好地了解鲸鱼的听觉，加州圣地亚哥州立大学的研究人员对两只居维叶喙鲸进行了X光检查。)”可知，研究人员对两只居维叶喙鲸进行了X光检查是为了更好地了解鲸鱼的听觉。D选项“know more about the way the whale hears(了解鲸鱼的听觉)”符合文意。故选D。
14．细节理解题。 根据第六段“they were surprised to find that sounds coming from right in front of the whale actually travel under the animal’s jaw. From there, sound waves move through the throat, into a hole in the hack of the jaw, and finally to the pad of fat near the animal’s ears.(他们惊讶地发现，来自鲸鱼正前方的声音实际上是在鲸鱼的下颌下传播的。从那里，声波穿过喉咙，进入下巴的一个洞，最后到达动物耳朵附近的脂肪垫。)”可知，声波通过居维叶喙鲸的方式是：声音在鲸鱼的下颌下，穿过喉咙，进入下巴的一个洞，最后到达动物耳朵。这与B项的顺序“The jaw→the throat→hole in the back of the jaw→the ears.(下巴→喉咙→下巴后部的洞→耳朵)”一致。故选B。
15．推理判断题。根据第一段“Ears are for hearing-everyone knows that Bur for a creature called the Cuvier’s beaked whale, hearing starts in the throat, a new study found.(一项新的研究发现，耳朵是用来听觉的。每个人都知道，对于一种名为居维叶喙鲸的生物来说，听觉始于喉咙。)”可知，居维叶喙鲸的听觉始于喉咙，所以喉咙非常重要。A选项“the throat is important to the Cuvier’s beaked whale’s hearing(喉咙对居维叶喙鲸的听力很重要)”符合文意。故选A。
16．C 17．G 18．E 19．F 20．A

A letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives(档案馆) by the FBI after being stolen twice.
“We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing,” says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Archives. “It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生), from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes,” and the intern put the letter back. “The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.”
Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a clue that the stolen letter was located very close to Washington, D．C． Their art crime team got back the letter but were unable to accuse the suspect because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both genuine and exactly belonged to Smithsonian.
The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the area that would become Yellowstone National Park.
The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. “It was luckily in good shape,” says Kapsalis, “and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.”
It would be difficult to steal things like the letter. “Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s,” says Kapsalis, “and we keep our high value objects in a safe that I can’t even reach.”
4．What happened to Darwin’s letter in the 1970s?
A．It was got back by the FBI. B．It was stolen more than once.
C．It was bought by the archives. D．It was put in the archives for research purpose.
5．What did the FBI do after getting back the letter?
A．They proved its real identity. B．They kept it in a safe.
C．They helped repair the letter. D．They accused the suspect but failed.
6．What will the Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?
A．Display it in the Archives.
B．Turn it into an item of interest.
C．Carry out a major repair.
D．Make it available on line.
7．What can we learn from the passage?
A．People grow more interested in art objects
B．Strict safety measures are taken in Archives.
C．The value of museum objects has been increased.
D．The letter helped Ferdinand do research into geology.
There are plenty of concerns about robots stealing jobs from hard-working, flesh-and-blood humans. However, Japan’s Henna “Strange” Hotel has fired half of its 243 robot staff, because these labor-saving machines were causing more problems than they were solving— and requiring humans to come in and fix things as a result.
One of the victims of the robot layoffs was a doll-shaped robot called Cheri, which functioned as an artificial intelligence assistant. Unfortunately. Cheri tuned out to be pretty poor at answering questions from hotel guests. A pair of dinosaur robots, which worked at the hotel check-in, were also made non-existent by the firings since they wound up being unable to do many of the jobs required of 8 receptionist. A concierge (服务台职员) robot, meanwhile, was replaced by a human better able to answer important questions about nearby tourist attractions. Humans are also now going to carry luggage to the rooms, one quarter of which the previous porter robots were only able to reach—and only in excellent weather conditions.
Not surprisingly, the hotel, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, allured curious visitors from all around the world. Encouraged by the success the hotel s owner, Sawada opened seven additional locations across Japan and announced plans to build at least 50 more.
In the end, though, it seems that—as great as robots can be—they’re simply not suitable for every role just yet. With the rise of robot bar-tenders, robot-staffed restaurants and the like, it will be interesting to see how many similar concepts fall apart in the coming years. After all, once the novelty of a dinosaur robot on reception wears off, you’re just faced with a receptionist who can’t properly understand you and lacks an effective number of fingers on each hand to properly photocopy your passport.
8．Which of the following was used to answer such questions as scenic spots?
A．A porter robot. B．A dinosaur robot.
C．A concierge robot. D．A doll-shaped robot.
9．What does the underlined word “allured” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A．attracted B．relaxed C．thrilled D．upset
10．What does the author think of the robot staff?
A．They did better than humans.
B．They couldn’t replace humans entirely.
C．The rest of them will be fired.
D．They were a big challenge for humans.
11．What might be the most suitable title of the text?
A．World’s First Robot-staffed Hotel.
B．Robots Perform Various Functions.
C．Humans Will Replace Robots Eventually.
D．Japanese Hotel Fires Half Its Robot Staff.
Ears are for hearing-everyone knows that Bur for a creature called the Cuvier’s beaked whale, hearing starts in the throat, a new study found.
The observation might help explain how all whales hear. The work might also help scientists understand how animals are affected by underwater sonar(声呐). This sonar, used by some ships, sends out sound waves to locate underwater objects.
The Cuvier’s beaked whale is a so-called toothed whale. Toothed whales dive deep into the ocean in search of food. As the whales hunt, they produce sounds that reach objects and then return to the whales. This allows the animals to “see” the shape, size, and location of objects, even when they’re 1,000 metres under the sea, where it is totally dark.
To better understand how the whale hears, researchers from San Diego State University in California took X-rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales. The whales had died and washed up on the beach.
Ted Cranford and his colleagues used the images to make a computer model of a Cuvier’s beaked whale’s head. Then, they modelled the process of sound travelling through the head. The researchers knew that some sounds get to the cars of a toothed whale through a structure called “the window for sound”. Found on the lower jaw, this structure is very thin on the outside and bas a large pad(垫) of fat on the inside.
When the researchers used their computer model to work out how sound waves travel in the whale’s head, they were surprised to find that sounds coming from right in front of the whale actually travel under the animal’s jaw. From there, sound waves move through the throat, into a hole in the hack of the jaw, and finally to the pad of fat near the animal’s ears.
12．Toothed whales ________ to search for what they will eat under the sea.
A．measure the shape and size of their objects
B．watch deep into the sea
C．ask other whales to work together
D．give out signals and wait for them to return
13．Researchers took X-rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales in order to ________.
A．find out why they had died and washed up on the beach
B．make a computer model of a Cuvier’s beaked whale’s head
C．make sure that sound travels through the head
D．know more about the way the whale hears
14．Which of the following describes the way taken by sound waves through a Cuvier’s beaked whale?
A．A hole in the back of the jaw→the cars→the jaw→the throat.
B．The jaw→the throat→hole in the back of the jaw→the ears.
C．The throat→the jaw→he ears→hole in the hack of→the jaw.
D．The ears→the throat→a hole in the back of the jaw→the jaw.
15．According to the passage, we know that __________.
A．the throat is important to the Cuvier’s beaked whale’s hearing
B．ships send out sound waves like a Cuvier’s beaked whale
C．the ears are actually useless to the Cuvier’s beaked whale
D．the researchers haven’t found how the whales hear
二、七选五
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water: We don’t know how much we depend on them until we don’t have them. 16 Here is how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.
• Reach out to the newcomers.
These days, the old Welcome Wagon (欢迎礼车) is a thing of the past. 17 If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Introduce the best places to eat and sleep. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.
• Avoid causing inconvenience.
Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good condition as soon as you’ve finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor if damaged. 18 Such acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking—and the talk will be good.
• Make time for friendships.
If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. 19 So you can plan for proper food and music.
• 20
Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If you’re truly concerned, you’ll give a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it’s needed. All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.
A．Care about details.
B．Show interest in their life
C．They make our lives more pleasant.
D．Your new neighbors are good listeners.
E．Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway.
F．This way, you will know what your neighbors are like.
G．But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure.

He just said in the calm voice, “Well, because my size must large enough to hold my large heart of love.” Hearing her words, we all burst into laughter. Not only did Mike take the joke, but he also managed to cope with the embarrassed situation. What an important part humor play in our daily life! Why not possess a sense of humor or go along the road of life with happiness all the way?

4．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生), from what the FBI is telling us.(据FBI告诉我们，它失踪了，很可能是一名实习生拿走的。)”和“The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.(在没人看的时候，实习生很可能又把信拿走了。)”可知，达尔文的这封信在20世纪70年代中期被偷了不止一次。故选B项。
5．推理判断题。根据第三段“Their art crime team got back the letter but were unable to accuse the suspect because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both genuine and exactly belonged to Smithsonian.(他们的艺术犯罪小组虽然拿回了信件，但由于诉讼时效已过，无法起诉嫌疑人。 联邦调查局与档案馆密切合作，以确定这封信是真实的，完全属于史密森尼。)”可知，联邦调查局收到信以后，他们证明了信的真实身份。故选A项。
6．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.(我们的目标之一是将高研究价值或高兴趣的项目放到网上。)”可知，根据卡帕萨利斯的说法，档案馆将使这封信在网上可用。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日本的Henna “Strange” 酒店解雇了一半的机器人员工，因为机器人造成的问题比解决的问题更多，需要人类来解决问题。这表明机器人不适合每个角色，尽管它们可能很棒。未来几年里，类似机器人酒吧、机器人餐厅等的概念会面临分崩离析的可能。
8．细节理解题。根据第二段“A concierge robot, meanwhile, was replaced by a human better able to answer important questions about nearby tourist attractions. (服务台职员机器人被一个能够更好地回答有关附近旅游景点的重要问题的人所取代)”可知，C选项“A concierge robot. (服务台职员机器人)”不能很好地回答有关景点的问题被取代，符合文意。故选C。
9．词义猜测题。根据“Not surprisingly, the hotel, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, allured curious visitors from all around the world. Encouraged by the success the hotel s owner, Sawada opened seven additional locations across Japan and announced plans to build at least 50 more. (不出所料，这家酒店在2016年被吉尼斯世界纪录认定为世界上第一家配备机器人的酒店，吸引了来自世界各地的好奇游客。在酒店老板的成功鼓舞下，泽田在日本各地又开设了七家分店，并宣布计划再建至少50家。)”可知，酒店老板的成功，鼓舞泽田在日本各地又开设了七家分店，并宣布计划再建至少50家。这表明酒店很受欢迎，客人增多。所以可以推测出“allured”是“吸引”的意思。即这家酒店吸引了来自全球各地的客人。故选A。
10．推理判断题。根据第四段“In the end, though, it seems that—as great as robots can be—they’re simply not suitable for every role just yet. (然而，最终看来，尽管机器人可能很棒，但它们还不适合每个角色。)”可知，作者认为机器人还不适合每个角色。即还不能完全取代人的工作。B选项“They couldn’t replace humans entirely. (他们无法完全取代人类。)”符合文意。故选B。
11．主旨大意题。根据第一段可知，本文的主旨大意是日本的Henna“Strange”酒店解雇了一半的机器人员工，因为机器人造成的问题比解决的问题更多，需要人类来解决问题。D选项“Japanese Hotel Fires Half Its Robot Staff. (日本酒店解雇了一半的机器人员工。)”与文章的主旨大意一致。故选D。
12．D 13．D 14．B 15．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新研究发现，居维叶喙鲸的听觉始于喉咙而不是耳朵，这可能有助于科学家更好地了解动物如何受到水下声纳的影响，并帮助人们更好地利用声纳技术定位水下物体。研究人员使用X光检查和计算机模拟声波在鲸鱼头部传播的过程，发现声音实际上是从鲸鱼下颌下传播，穿过喉咙最终到达耳朵附近的脂肪垫。
12．细节理解题。根据第三段“As the whales hunt, they produce sounds that reach objects and then return to the whales. This allows the animals to “see” the shape, size, and location of objects, even when they’re 1,000 metres under the sea, where it is totally dark.(当鲸鱼狩猎时，它们发出的声音到达物体，然后返回鲸鱼身边。这使得动物能够“看到”物体的形状、大小和位置，即使它们在1000米深的海底，那里完全是黑暗的。)”可知，鲸鱼寻找食物时先发出声音，根据返回的声音定位食物。D选项“give out signals and wait for them to return(释放信号等待返回)”符合文意。故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据第四段“To better understand how the whale hears, researchers from San Diego State University in California took X-rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales.(为了更好地了解鲸鱼的听觉，加州圣地亚哥州立大学的研究人员对两只居维叶喙鲸进行了X光检查。)”可知，研究人员对两只居维叶喙鲸进行了X光检查是为了更好地了解鲸鱼的听觉。D选项“know more about the way the whale hears(了解鲸鱼的听觉)”符合文意。故选D。
14．细节理解题。 根据第六段“they were surprised to find that sounds coming from right in front of the whale actually travel under the animal’s jaw. From there, sound waves move through the throat, into a hole in the hack of the jaw, and finally to the pad of fat near the animal’s ears.(他们惊讶地发现，来自鲸鱼正前方的声音实际上是在鲸鱼的下颌下传播的。从那里，声波穿过喉咙，进入下巴的一个洞，最后到达动物耳朵附近的脂肪垫。)”可知，声波通过居维叶喙鲸的方式是：声音在鲸鱼的下颌下，穿过喉咙，进入下巴的一个洞，最后到达动物耳朵。这与B项的顺序“The jaw→the throat→hole in the back of the jaw→the ears.(下巴→喉咙→下巴后部的洞→耳朵)”一致。故选B。
15．推理判断题。根据第一段“Ears are for hearing-everyone knows that Bur for a creature called the Cuvier’s beaked whale, hearing starts in the throat, a new study found.(一项新的研究发现，耳朵是用来听觉的。每个人都知道，对于一种名为居维叶喙鲸的生物来说，听觉始于喉咙。)”可知，居维叶喙鲸的听觉始于喉咙，所以喉咙非常重要。A选项“the throat is important to the Cuvier’s beaked whale’s hearing(喉咙对居维叶喙鲸的听力很重要)”符合文意。故选A。
16．C 17．G 18．E 19．F 20．A

16．根据上文“Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water: We don’t know how much we depend on them until we don’t have them.(好邻居很像电或自来水：只有当我们没有他们的时候时，我们才知道我们有多依赖他们。)”可知，好的邻居对我们很重要。选项C“They make our lives more pleasant.(他们让我们的生活更愉快。)与上文一致，故选C。
17．根据下文“If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live.(如果他们有孩子，告诉他们邻居家的孩子住在哪里。)”可知，这是给邻居的孩子提供玩伴。选项G“But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure.(但是你的新邻居或许会感到孤独和不确定。)”承接下文，符合下文给邻居介绍小孩都住在哪儿。故选G。
18．根据小标题“Avoid causing inconvenience.(避免造成不便)”可知，这一段主要讲述的就是不要给邻居带来不便。选项E“Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway.(确保你的车没有挡住他们的门口)”，正是讲的不要给邻居带来不便，符合本段主要内容。故选E。
19．根据下文“So you can plan for proper food and music.(所以你可以准备适当的食物和音乐。)”可知，先要去了解才能知道邻居喜欢什么。选项F“This way, you will know what your neighbors are like.(这样的话，你就会知道你的邻居是怎样的。)”正是讲的通过上文可以了解邻居，承上启下，符合文意。故选F。
20．空处是小标题，为本段中心句。根据下文“Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If you’re truly concerned, you’ll give a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it’s needed.(下大雨时，帮年迈的邻居拿邮件。当你的邻居忘记收垃圾筒时，把它们滚回他的院子里。如果你真的关心，你会送一束花或在需要的时候伸出援助之手。)”可知，本段讲述的是你可以为邻居做的各种细节小事，关心他们的生活。选项A“Care about details.(关心细节)” 正是此意，不管从形式还是内容都符合要求。故选A。

6.考查“情态动词+动词原形”。句意：他只是平静地说：“嗯，因为我的体型必须足够大，才能装下我博大的爱心。”must后接动词原形，large为形容词，故must后接系动词be，再接形容词作表语。故在must后加be。
7.考查形容词性物主代词。句意：听到他的话，我们都大笑起来。Mike是男的，应用his作形容词性物主代词，故将her改为his。
