Scientists say that the 10 minutes after an accident is the most important for saving a life.In 10 minutes，knowing first aid can make a difference.
Six steps to saving lives ﹣ Dr ABCs

28．（8分）Have you ever heard a joke that made you burst into laughter while your foreign friend had a straight face when hearing this？Actually，this is quite normal because maybe he didn't get the joke's point of humor.
There are many stereotypes about humor.For example，people usually think that the British are sarcastic（讽刺的），the Americans are good at physical comedy and the Japanese enjoy puns（双关），but it's not just like that.But is humor actually driven by culture？The answer is beyond doubt（怀疑）.A culture expert said："No skill will make sure the success of a joke or a humorous short story if the content（内容） and style are not culturally appropriate（合适）."
People from different countries have different understandings of humor.To be specific，people living in Western countries use humor for dealing with stress and difficulties in their life.For example，they will turn all the bad things in life into jokes and tell them to everyone，giving the audience a chance to relax and release bad emotions.
However，on the other hand，it is less likely that Easterners will use humor as a solution.Various studies found that Japanese，Chinese and Singaporean students were less likely to use humor in that way compared to Western students.Just as John Wu said，"Westerners are seriously humorous，while Easterners are humorously serious."
Humor doesn't travel.Humor comes from different cultures，language points or cultural vision，usually fails to cross over boundaries（边界） which means that it is difficult to understand certain jokes and types of humor by those who are not part of that culture.
Therefore，the next time you tell a joke to your foreign friend，you need to be prepared that they don't understand and they don't laugh as happily as you do.
（1）A foreigner has a straight face when hearing jokes because .
A.he/she doesn't want to laugh
B.he/she doesn't understand the language
C.he/she doesn't get the funny points
D.He/she finds jokes very serious
（2）Compared to Easterners，Westerners .
A.can make sure the success of a joke
B.are better at physical comedies and puns
C.more likely to use humor to solve problems in life
D.care more about the culture behind jokes
（3）How do you understand underlined sentences？
A.Humor comes from different countries.
B.Humor is difficult to understand without culture.
C.Humorous people do not travel abroad.
D.Humor can't fly to other countries on its own.
（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A.Reasons for Humor
B.Stereotypes about Honor
C.Differences of Humor
D.Types of Honor
29．（8分）Most remember little about things that happened in their very early childhood.As a result，some people think that we aren't really able to form memories when we are little.But scientists carrying out research into early memories have suggested that this is untrue.They think that we form memories at a very young age.However，what we remember about our very early lives seems to change as we get older.
Researchers（研究者） in Newfoundland，Canada，worked with 140 children aged between 4 and 13.First，they asked these kids to describe their earliest memory.Then they asked them about how old they'd been when the event happened.Next，they asked the children's parents to make sure if the event actually happened.All the answers were written down.
The researchers waited for two years before they went back to the children and asked them again .what their earliest memory is.Nearly all the children between 4 and 7 years old in the first interview said something very different in the second interview.And when the researchers reminded them of what they'd said the first time，many of the children said，"No，that never happened to me."On the other band，many of the children aged between 10 and 13 described exactly the same in the two interviews.This seems to suggest that our memories change in the early years，but at around the age of ten，the things that we remember get fixed.
The researchers are now looking into the question of why children remember certain events and not others.We always believe that most first or early memories are about very stressful things，because they stand out in our minds.But in this study stressful events were only a small part of the children's memories.More often happy ones.The researchers are trying to work out why this is the case.Maybe we'll see more fascinating discoveries about early memories in the near future.
（1）In the passage scientists did the research among children aged between .
A.4 and 7
B.4 and 13
C.7 and 10
D.10 and 13
（2）Scientists got the result of the research by .
A.comparing facts
B.surfing the Internet
C.holding meetings
D.looking through books
（3）Which TRUE according to the passage？
A.People's memories never change.
B.People don't form memories at a young age.
C.Most of people's memories are about stressful things.
D.The kids in the research were asked to describe their earliest memories.
（4）The research in the passage is mainly about .
A.what people's earliest memories are
B.how people keep their first memories
C.it can keep their earliest memories rightly
D.why parents write down their kids' memories
30．（8分）Meat can be tasty.It is often good for us and it has been part of our meals for hundreds of thousands of years.However，some organizations，such as the Soil Association，say meat should not be eaten every day，especially in schools.This is because farming animals for meat can be bad for the environment and lead to climate （气候）change.The Soil Association wants schools to have more plant﹣based meal choices that don't have meat and that do not cause environmental problems.The Government already advises that schools have one no﹣meat day each week，but not all schools follow this advice.So what do you think？Should schools be made to have one completely no﹣meat day each week？
Yes—it's important to protect the climate
Everyone needs to do their bit to help the planet，and eating less meat is a good start.Although meat can be healthy and is good for us in the right amounts，eating it every day means a lot of animals have to be farmed. This uses up valuable things such as water and land.The animals themselves add to climate change by producing a gas called methane.Besides，it's not necessary to eat meat every day.There are many ways to get the nourishment we need to be healthy.We could eat foods like beans，nuts，potatoes and so on.What's more，eating more plant﹣based foods will save schools' money because they are cheaper than meat.This money could be used on books and school trips.
No—
Students should be able to decide what they eat﹣it's a personal choice.Some students，for example，might eat a little bit of meat each day，but less overall.Besides，meat is full of healthy vitamins and nutrients needed for growth.If schools don't serve meat，they might end up serving chips and junk food instead，which wouldn't be healthier.It's right to tell and educate young people about climate change and the results of the farming industry，but they should be encouraged to change their eating habits rather than being told that they have to. Making people change their habits doesn't always mean people can change their minds.
（1）The example of the Soil Association taken by the writer is to show .
A.every school must have one no﹣meat day
B.no﹣meat day is becoming a tradition in all schools
C.students should be required to eat meat in the right amounts to keep healthy
D.people try to protect the environment by having one no﹣meat day in schools
（2）The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A.eating much meat
B.farming lots of animals
C.having one no﹣meat day
D.eating more plant﹣based foods
（3）Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in " " in the passage？
A.it should be up to the students
B.schools shouldn't have one no﹣meat day
C.it's necessary to change students' eating habits
D.students should eat a little bit of meat every day
（4）What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？
A.Changing people's minds is really a difficult task.
B.It's not polite to make people change their eating habits.
C.Habits changing cannot always lead to minds changing.
D.It's more important to change eating habits than to change their minds.
31．（8分）In a room at Stanford University，scientists are studying a small animal called gecko.It's an amazing animal because it can move very quickly up and down a tree and it can even walk upside down on ceilings （天花板）.The scientists are quite interested in the gecko's feet.They want to use the same design on their own robots.The metal robot looks like the gecko.It has four feet which can also walk up walls made of glass.However，it still has a more difficult time when it tries to walk upside down.
Animals and plants can teach people a lot about design（设计） and engineering.When scientists and engineers have a problem，nature often has the answer.This science is called biomimetics（仿生学）.Bio means"studying living things"and mimetic means"copying the movement of things".In other words，scientists study animals and plants in order to copy the design.
Take a whale as an example.Engineers in Canada are studying their flippers（脚蹼） because they move very fast through water.The engineers think the shape can also make the wind turbines（涡轮机） move faster.The boxfish is another animal from the sea which is helping car makers in Germany.Mercedes Benz（奔驰） is using the shape of the fish for one of its new cars.The shape makes it faster and more energy﹣efficient（节能的）.
Velcro（魔术贴） is probably the most famous example of biomimetics.Most people have some Velcro on their clothes.It was invented by be Swiss engineer，George de Mestral in 1948.He was walking in the countryside when be pulled a plant's bur（刺果） from his trousers.He noticed how the bar stock so well to his clothes.He worked on his idea and the result was Velcro and it become an alternative to the traditional zip（拉链）.
In a word，biomimetics has helped to design our world and there are many more future possibilities.Unluckily，it might take a long time to discover all the possibilities.This isn't really surprising because it's taken nature thousands of years to design its animals and plants.
（1）What's the purpose（目的） of Paragraph 1？
A.telling us facts
B.giving an example
C.introducing the topic
D.showing reasons
（2）Which of the following shows the structure（结构） of the passage？（P＝ Paragraph）
（3）What does the underlined word " alternative " mean in Chinese？
A.产物
B.原材料
C.制造商
D.替代品
（4）What can we infer（推断） according to the passage？
A.Nature can provide people with ideas to make better things.
B.George de Mestral invented the traditional zip too.
C.The robot designed at Stanford University can walk upside down easily.
D.Mercedes Benz is using the shape of the boxfish for one of its new cars.

28．（8分）Have you ever heard a joke that made you burst into laughter while your foreign friend had a straight face when hearing this？Actually，this is quite normal because maybe he didn't get the joke's point of humor.
There are many stereotypes about humor.For example，people usually think that the British are sarcastic（讽刺的），the Americans are good at physical comedy and the Japanese enjoy puns（双关），but it's not just like that.But is humor actually driven by culture？The answer is beyond doubt（怀疑）.A culture expert said："No skill will make sure the success of a joke or a humorous short story if the content（内容） and style are not culturally appropriate（合适）."
People from different countries have different understandings of humor.To be specific，people living in Western countries use humor for dealing with stress and difficulties in their life.For example，they will turn all the bad things in life into jokes and tell them to everyone，giving the audience a chance to relax and release bad emotions.
However，on the other hand，it is less likely that Easterners will use humor as a solution.Various studies found that Japanese，Chinese and Singaporean students were less likely to use humor in that way compared to Western students.Just as John Wu said，"Westerners are seriously humorous，while Easterners are humorously serious."
Humor doesn't travel.Humor comes from different cultures，language points or cultural vision，usually fails to cross over boundaries（边界） which means that it is difficult to understand certain jokes and types of humor by those who are not part of that culture.
Therefore，the next time you tell a joke to your foreign friend，you need to be prepared that they don't understand and they don't laugh as happily as you do.
（1）A foreigner has a straight face when hearing jokes because C .
A.he/she doesn't want to laugh
B.he/she doesn't understand the language
C.he/she doesn't get the funny points
D.He/she finds jokes very serious
（2）Compared to Easterners，Westerners C .
A.can make sure the success of a joke
B.are better at physical comedies and puns
C.more likely to use humor to solve problems in life
D.care more about the culture behind jokes
（3）How do you understand underlined sentences？ B
A.Humor comes from different countries.
B.Humor is difficult to understand without culture.
C.Humorous people do not travel abroad.
D.Humor can't fly to other countries on its own.
（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？ C
A.Reasons for Humor
B.Stereotypes about Honor
C.Differences of Humor
D.Types of Honor
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Have you ever heard a joke that made you burst into laughter while your foreign friend had a straight face when hearing this？Actually，this is quite normal because maybe he didn't get the joke's point of humor.（你有没有听过一个笑话，让你哈哈大笑，而你的外国朋友听到这个笑话时却板着脸？事实上，这很正常，因为也许他没有理解这个笑话的幽默点。）可知，外国人听笑话时板着脸，因为他/她听不懂笑话的幽默点。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段To be specific，people living in Western countries use humor for dealing with stress and difficulties in their life.For example，they will turn all the bad things in life into jokes and tell them to everyone，giving the audience a chance to relax and release bad emotions.（具体来说，生活在西方国家的人用幽默来应对生活中的压力和困难。例如，他们会把生活中所有的坏事都变成笑话，告诉每个人，给观众一个放松和释放坏情绪的机会。）可知，与东方人相比，西方人更喜欢用幽默来解决生活中的问题。故选C。
（3）推理判断题。根据第二段A culture expert said："No skill will make sure the success of a joke or a humorous short story if the content（内容） and style are not culturally appropriate（合适）."（一位文化专家说："如果一个笑话或幽默的短篇故事的内容和风格不符合文化，那么任何技巧都无法确保它的成功。"）可知，下划线句子的意思应是没有文化就很难理解幽默。故选B。
（4）标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了幽默与文化之间的关系。不同国家的人对幽默的理解和运用方式不同，这与其所处的文化背景有关。西方人通常会用幽默来缓解压力和解决生活中的困难，而东方人则较少用幽默来解决问题。故文章的最佳标题应是"幽默的差异"。故选C。
29．（8分）Most remember little about things that happened in their very early childhood.As a result，some people think that we aren't really able to form memories when we are little.But scientists carrying out research into early memories have suggested that this is untrue.They think that we form memories at a very young age.However，what we remember about our very early lives seems to change as we get older.
Researchers（研究者） in Newfoundland，Canada，worked with 140 children aged between 4 and 13.First，they asked these kids to describe their earliest memory.Then they asked them about how old they'd been when the event happened.Next，they asked the children's parents to make sure if the event actually happened.All the answers were written down.
The researchers waited for two years before they went back to the children and asked them again .what their earliest memory is.Nearly all the children between 4 and 7 years old in the first interview said something very different in the second interview.And when the researchers reminded them of what they'd said the first time，many of the children said，"No，that never happened to me."On the other band，many of the children aged between 10 and 13 described exactly the same in the two interviews.This seems to suggest that our memories change in the early years，but at around the age of ten，the things that we remember get fixed.
The researchers are now looking into the question of why children remember certain events and not others.We always believe that most first or early memories are about very stressful things，because they stand out in our minds.But in this study stressful events were only a small part of the children's memories.More often happy ones.The researchers are trying to work out why this is the case.Maybe we'll see more fascinating discoveries about early memories in the near future.
（1）In the passage scientists did the research among children aged between B .
A.4 and 7
B.4 and 13
C.7 and 10
D.10 and 13
（2）Scientists got the result of the research by A .

（4）The research in the passage is mainly about A .
A.what people's earliest memories are
B.how people keep their first memories
C.it can keep their earliest memories rightly
D.why parents write down their kids' memories
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段Researchers（研究者） in Newfoundland，Canada，worked with 140 children aged between 4 and 13.（加拿大纽芬兰的研究人员对140名年龄在4至13岁之间的儿童进行了研究。）可知，在这篇文章中，科学家们对4至13岁的儿童进行了研究。故选B。
（2）推理判断题。根据第二段First，they asked these kids to describe their earliest memory.Then they asked them about how old they'd been when the event happened.Next，they asked the children's parents to make sure if the event actually happened.All the answers were written down.（首先，他们让这些孩子描述他们最早的记忆。然后，他们问他们事件发生时的年龄。接下来，他们让孩子的父母确定事件是否真的发生了。所有的答案都写下来了。）可知，科学家们通过比较事实得出了研究结果。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据第二段First，they asked these kids to describe their earliest memory.（首先，他们让这些孩子描述他们最早的记忆。）可知，研究中的孩子们被要求描述他们最早的记忆是正确的。故选D。
（4）主旨大意题。通读全文可知，这篇短文主要讲述了人们对于儿童时期记忆的认知误区以及科学家对于儿童早期记忆的研究。故文章中的研究主要是关于人们最早的记忆是什么。故选A。
30．（8分）Meat can be tasty.It is often good for us and it has been part of our meals for hundreds of thousands of years.However，some organizations，such as the Soil Association，say meat should not be eaten every day，especially in schools.This is because farming animals for meat can be bad for the environment and lead to climate （气候）change.The Soil Association wants schools to have more plant﹣based meal choices that don't have meat and that do not cause environmental problems.The Government already advises that schools have one no﹣meat day each week，but not all schools follow this advice.So what do you think？Should schools be made to have one completely no﹣meat day each week？
Yes—it's important to protect the climate
Everyone needs to do their bit to help the planet，and eating less meat is a good start.Although meat can be healthy and is good for us in the right amounts，eating it every day means a lot of animals have to be farmed. This uses up valuable things such as water and land.The animals themselves add to climate change by producing a gas called methane.Besides，it's not necessary to eat meat every day.There are many ways to get the nourishment we need to be healthy.We could eat foods like beans，nuts，potatoes and so on.What's more，eating more plant﹣based foods will save schools' money because they are cheaper than meat.This money could be used on books and school trips.
No—
Students should be able to decide what they eat﹣it's a personal choice.Some students，for example，might eat a little bit of meat each day，but less overall.Besides，meat is full of healthy vitamins and nutrients needed for growth.If schools don't serve meat，they might end up serving chips and junk food instead，which wouldn't be healthier.It's right to tell and educate young people about climate change and the results of the farming industry，but they should be encouraged to change their eating habits rather than being told that they have to. Making people change their habits doesn't always mean people can change their minds.
（1）The example of the Soil Association taken by the writer is to show D .
A.every school must have one no﹣meat day
B.no﹣meat day is becoming a tradition in all schools
C.students should be required to eat meat in the right amounts to keep healthy
D.people try to protect the environment by having one no﹣meat day in schools
（2）The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refers to B .
A.eating much meat
B.farming lots of animals
C.having one no﹣meat day
D.eating more plant﹣based foods
（3）Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in " A " in the passage？
A.it should be up to the students
B.schools shouldn't have one no﹣meat day
C.it's necessary to change students' eating habits
D.students should eat a little bit of meat every day
（4）What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？ C
A.Changing people's minds is really a difficult task.
B.It's not polite to make people change their eating habits.
C.Habits changing cannot always lead to minds changing.
D.It's more important to change eating habits than to change their minds.
【解答】（1）D.细节理解题。根据文中第一段However，some organizations，such as the Soil Association，say meat should not be eaten every day，especially in schools.然而，一些组织，如土壤协会，说不应该每天吃肉，尤其是在学校里。由此可知，作者举的土壤协会的例子，是向人们展示通过在学校一天不吃肉来保护环境。D项符合题意。故选D。
（2）B.代词指代题。根据文中第二段Although meat can be healthy and is good for us in the right amounts，eating it every day means a lot of animals have to be farmed.虽然肉类是健康的，并且适量吃肉类对我们有好处，但每天吃它意味着必须饲养大量动物。由此可知，this指的是，饲养大量的动物。B项符合题意。故选B。
（3）A.细节理解题。根据上文中Yes—it's important to protect the climate.是的——保护气候很重要。以及下文 Students should be able to decide what they eat﹣it's a personal choice.学生应该能够决定他们吃什么——这是个人选择。由此可知，划线处的句意，应该是由学生决定，A项，应该由学生决定，符合题意。故选A。
（4）C.句子理解题。根据文中划线句的句意Making people change their habits doesn't always mean people can change their minds.让人们改变习惯并不总是意味着人们可以改变主意。由此可知，作者指的是习惯改变了但是主意不一定会改变。C项，习惯的改变并不总是会导致主意的改变，符合题意。故选C。
31．（8分）In a room at Stanford University，scientists are studying a small animal called gecko.It's an amazing animal because it can move very quickly up and down a tree and it can even walk upside down on ceilings （天花板）.The scientists are quite interested in the gecko's feet.They want to use the same design on their own robots.The metal robot looks like the gecko.It has four feet which can also walk up walls made of glass.However，it still has a more difficult time when it tries to walk upside down.
Animals and plants can teach people a lot about design（设计） and engineering.When scientists and engineers have a problem，nature often has the answer.This science is called biomimetics（仿生学）.Bio means"studying living things"and mimetic means"copying the movement of things".In other words，scientists study animals and plants in order to copy the design.
Take a whale as an example.Engineers in Canada are studying their flippers（脚蹼） because they move very fast through water.The engineers think the shape can also make the wind turbines（涡轮机） move faster.The boxfish is another animal from the sea which is helping car makers in Germany.Mercedes Benz（奔驰） is using the shape of the fish for one of its new cars.The shape makes it faster and more energy﹣efficient（节能的）.
Velcro（魔术贴） is probably the most famous example of biomimetics.Most people have some Velcro on their clothes.It was invented by be Swiss engineer，George de Mestral in 1948.He was walking in the countryside when be pulled a plant's bur（刺果） from his trousers.He noticed how the bar stock so well to his clothes.He worked on his idea and the result was Velcro and it become an alternative to the traditional zip（拉链）.
In a word，biomimetics has helped to design our world and there are many more future possibilities.Unluckily，it might take a long time to discover all the possibilities.This isn't really surprising because it's taken nature thousands of years to design its animals and plants.
（1）What's the purpose（目的） of Paragraph 1？ B
A.telling us facts
B.giving an example
C.introducing the topic
D.showing reasons
（2）Which of the following shows the structure（结构） of the passage？（P＝ Paragraph） B
（3）What does the underlined word " alternative " mean in Chinese？ D
A.产物
B.原材料
C.制造商
D.替代品
（4）What can we infer（推断） according to the passage？ A
A.Nature can provide people with ideas to make better things.
B.George de Mestral invented the traditional zip too.
C.The robot designed at Stanford University can walk upside down easily.
D.Mercedes Benz is using the shape of the boxfish for one of its new cars.
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段The scientists are quite interested in the gecko's feet.They want to use the same design on their own robots.The metal robot looks like the gecko.It has four feet which can also walk up walls made of glass.However，it still has a more difficult time when it tries to walk upside down.（科学家们对壁虎的脚很感兴趣。他们想在自己的机器人上使用相同的设计。金属机器人看起来像壁虎。它有四只脚，也可以爬上玻璃墙。但是，当它试图倒立行走时，它仍然有一个更困难的时间。）可知文章第一段主要讲了他们想在自己的机器人上使用相同的设计。所以第一段向我们举例说明了这个金属机器人设计的由来。故选B。
（2）细节理解题。阅读文章可知，第一段模仿壁虎造爬墙机器是一个例子；第二段作者阐述了第一段的例子中的科学原理：讲明之后作者又分别举了第三段和第四段的鲸的鳍，魔术贴和刺果两个例子；最后一段是结论。故选B。
（3）词义猜测题。根据He noticed how the bar stock so well to his clothes.He worked on his idea and the result was Velcro and it become an alternative to the traditional zip（拉链）.（他注意到布条是如何很好地粘在衣服上的。他研究了自己的想法，结果是魔术贴，它成为了传统拉链的......。）可知结合选项，可推测下划线的 " alternative" 在汉语中是"替代品"的意思。故选D。
（4）主旨大意题。根据第二段Animals and plants can teach people a lot about design（设计） and engineering.When scientists and engineers have a problem，nature often has the answer.（动植物可以教会人们很多关于设计和工程的知识。当科学家和工程师遇到问题时，大自然往往会给出答案。）阅读全文可知，本文主要关于科学家们学习研究动植物、并将其优点注入自己的设计发明中，从而为人们的生活带来便利。根据这篇文章我们能推断出大自然可以为人们提供更好的想法。故选A。

28．（8分）Have you ever heard a joke that made you burst into laughter while your foreign friend had a straight face when hearing this？Actually，this is quite normal because maybe he didn't get the joke's point of humor.
There are many stereotypes about humor.For example，people usually think that the British are sarcastic（讽刺的），the Americans are good at physical comedy and the Japanese enjoy puns（双关），but it's not just like that.But is humor actually driven by culture？The answer is beyond doubt（怀疑）.A culture expert said："No skill will make sure the success of a joke or a humorous short story if the content（内容） and style are not culturally appropriate（合适）."
People from different countries have different understandings of humor.To be specific，people living in Western countries use humor for dealing with stress and difficulties in their life.For example，they will turn all the bad things in life into jokes and tell them to everyone，giving the audience a chance to relax and release bad emotions.
However，on the other hand，it is less likely that Easterners will use humor as a solution.Various studies found that Japanese，Chinese and Singaporean students were less likely to use humor in that way compared to Western students.Just as John Wu said，"Westerners are seriously humorous，while Easterners are humorously serious."
Humor doesn't travel.Humor comes from different cultures，language points or cultural vision，usually fails to cross over boundaries（边界） which means that it is difficult to understand certain jokes and types of humor by those who are not part of that culture.
Therefore，the next time you tell a joke to your foreign friend，you need to be prepared that they don't understand and they don't laugh as happily as you do.
（1）A foreigner has a straight face when hearing jokes because .
A.he/she doesn't want to laugh
B.he/she doesn't understand the language
C.he/she doesn't get the funny points
D.He/she finds jokes very serious
（2）Compared to Easterners，Westerners .
A.can make sure the success of a joke
B.are better at physical comedies and puns
C.more likely to use humor to solve problems in life
D.care more about the culture behind jokes
（3）How do you understand underlined sentences？
A.Humor comes from different countries.
B.Humor is difficult to understand without culture.
C.Humorous people do not travel abroad.
D.Humor can't fly to other countries on its own.
（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A.Reasons for Humor
B.Stereotypes about Honor
C.Differences of Humor
D.Types of Honor
29．（8分）Most remember little about things that happened in their very early childhood.As a result，some people think that we aren't really able to form memories when we are little.But scientists carrying out research into early memories have suggested that this is untrue.They think that we form memories at a very young age.However，what we remember about our very early lives seems to change as we get older.
Researchers（研究者） in Newfoundland，Canada，worked with 140 children aged between 4 and 13.First，they asked these kids to describe their earliest memory.Then they asked them about how old they'd been when the event happened.Next，they asked the children's parents to make sure if the event actually happened.All the answers were written down.
The researchers waited for two years before they went back to the children and asked them again .what their earliest memory is.Nearly all the children between 4 and 7 years old in the first interview said something very different in the second interview.And when the researchers reminded them of what they'd said the first time，many of the children said，"No，that never happened to me."On the other band，many of the children aged between 10 and 13 described exactly the same in the two interviews.This seems to suggest that our memories change in the early years，but at around the age of ten，the things that we remember get fixed.
The researchers are now looking into the question of why children remember certain events and not others.We always believe that most first or early memories are about very stressful things，because they stand out in our minds.But in this study stressful events were only a small part of the children's memories.More often happy ones.The researchers are trying to work out why this is the case.Maybe we'll see more fascinating discoveries about early memories in the near future.
（1）In the passage scientists did the research among children aged between .
A.4 and 7
B.4 and 13
C.7 and 10
D.10 and 13
（2）Scientists got the result of the research by .
A.comparing facts
B.surfing the Internet
C.holding meetings
D.looking through books
（3）Which TRUE according to the passage？
A.People's memories never change.
B.People don't form memories at a young age.
C.Most of people's memories are about stressful things.
D.The kids in the research were asked to describe their earliest memories.
（4）The research in the passage is mainly about .
A.what people's earliest memories are
B.how people keep their first memories
C.it can keep their earliest memories rightly
D.why parents write down their kids' memories
30．（8分）Meat can be tasty.It is often good for us and it has been part of our meals for hundreds of thousands of years.However，some organizations，such as the Soil Association，say meat should not be eaten every day，especially in schools.This is because farming animals for meat can be bad for the environment and lead to climate （气候）change.The Soil Association wants schools to have more plant﹣based meal choices that don't have meat and that do not cause environmental problems.The Government already advises that schools have one no﹣meat day each week，but not all schools follow this advice.So what do you think？Should schools be made to have one completely no﹣meat day each week？
Yes—it's important to protect the climate
Everyone needs to do their bit to help the planet，and eating less meat is a good start.Although meat can be healthy and is good for us in the right amounts，eating it every day means a lot of animals have to be farmed. This uses up valuable things such as water and land.The animals themselves add to climate change by producing a gas called methane.Besides，it's not necessary to eat meat every day.There are many ways to get the nourishment we need to be healthy.We could eat foods like beans，nuts，potatoes and so on.What's more，eating more plant﹣based foods will save schools' money because they are cheaper than meat.This money could be used on books and school trips.
No—
Students should be able to decide what they eat﹣it's a personal choice.Some students，for example，might eat a little bit of meat each day，but less overall.Besides，meat is full of healthy vitamins and nutrients needed for growth.If schools don't serve meat，they might end up serving chips and junk food instead，which wouldn't be healthier.It's right to tell and educate young people about climate change and the results of the farming industry，but they should be encouraged to change their eating habits rather than being told that they have to. Making people change their habits doesn't always mean people can change their minds.
（1）The example of the Soil Association taken by the writer is to show .
A.every school must have one no﹣meat day
B.no﹣meat day is becoming a tradition in all schools
C.students should be required to eat meat in the right amounts to keep healthy
D.people try to protect the environment by having one no﹣meat day in schools
（2）The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A.eating much meat
B.farming lots of animals
C.having one no﹣meat day
D.eating more plant﹣based foods
（3）Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in " " in the passage？
A.it should be up to the students
B.schools shouldn't have one no﹣meat day
C.it's necessary to change students' eating habits
D.students should eat a little bit of meat every day
（4）What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？
A.Changing people's minds is really a difficult task.
B.It's not polite to make people change their eating habits.
C.Habits changing cannot always lead to minds changing.
D.It's more important to change eating habits than to change their minds.
31．（8分）In a room at Stanford University，scientists are studying a small animal called gecko.It's an amazing animal because it can move very quickly up and down a tree and it can even walk upside down on ceilings （天花板）.The scientists are quite interested in the gecko's feet.They want to use the same design on their own robots.The metal robot looks like the gecko.It has four feet which can also walk up walls made of glass.However，it still has a more difficult time when it tries to walk upside down.
Animals and plants can teach people a lot about design（设计） and engineering.When scientists and engineers have a problem，nature often has the answer.This science is called biomimetics（仿生学）.Bio means"studying living things"and mimetic means"copying the movement of things".In other words，scientists study animals and plants in order to copy the design.
Take a whale as an example.Engineers in Canada are studying their flippers（脚蹼） because they move very fast through water.The engineers think the shape can also make the wind turbines（涡轮机） move faster.The boxfish is another animal from the sea which is helping car makers in Germany.Mercedes Benz（奔驰） is using the shape of the fish for one of its new cars.The shape makes it faster and more energy﹣efficient（节能的）.
Velcro（魔术贴） is probably the most famous example of biomimetics.Most people have some Velcro on their clothes.It was invented by be Swiss engineer，George de Mestral in 1948.He was walking in the countryside when be pulled a plant's bur（刺果） from his trousers.He noticed how the bar stock so well to his clothes.He worked on his idea and the result was Velcro and it become an alternative to the traditional zip（拉链）.
In a word，biomimetics has helped to design our world and there are many more future possibilities.Unluckily，it might take a long time to discover all the possibilities.This isn't really surprising because it's taken nature thousands of years to design its animals and plants.
（1）What's the purpose（目的） of Paragraph 1？
A.telling us facts
B.giving an example
C.introducing the topic
D.showing reasons
（2）Which of the following shows the structure（结构） of the passage？（P＝ Paragraph）
（3）What does the underlined word " alternative " mean in Chinese？
A.产物
B.原材料
C.制造商
D.替代品
（4）What can we infer（推断） according to the passage？
A.Nature can provide people with ideas to make better things.
B.George de Mestral invented the traditional zip too.
C.The robot designed at Stanford University can walk upside down easily.
D.Mercedes Benz is using the shape of the boxfish for one of its new cars.

A．a，the B．an，the C．the，a D．the，an
【解答】答案：B．考查冠词．句意"那位女士做了X光检查，她给医生看了X光片"．第一个空，表示泛指"做了一个X光检查"，X﹣ray是以元音音素开头的，因此用an修饰，第二个空表示特指这张X光，用the．答案是B．
17．（1分） If you want to remember new words well，you need________.（ ）
A． write down them B． to write down them
C． write them down D． to write them down
【解答】write down写下来。句子谓语动词need既可以用作情态动词使用，后面接动词原形，用于疑问句和否定句中；也可用作实意动词，后面接动词不定式。主句是肯定句，因此可知need是作为实意动词使用的，可先排除A和C。write down是动词+副词构成的，如果宾语是代词，要放在中间。因此可知正确答案是D。
故选：D。
18．（1分）_______ the teachers in their school is about 200 and one fourth of them are _______ teachers．（ ）
A．A number of；women B．A number of；woman
C．The number of；women D．The number of；woman
【解答】a number of很多，大量；the number of…的数目．根据句意可知第一个空说的是学校里老师的数目，故排除A和B；女老师是woman teacher，当时复数形式的时候，两个词都变复数．

19．（1分）﹣﹣﹣What do you think of the film My people， My country？
﹣﹣﹣Perfect． I have never seen a ___________ movie before．（ ）
A．worse B．worst C．better D．best
【解答】句意：﹣﹣你觉得《我和我的祖国》这部电影怎么样？﹣﹣完美．我从未看过比这更好看的电影．worse意为"更糟糕的"；worst意为"最糟糕的"；better意为"更好的"；best意为"最好的"．根据前文perfect，可知，空格处表示"更好看的"，所以空格处填better．
故选：C．
20．（1分） The young woman_____a millionaire since her father _____two years ago.（ ）
A． has been married to；died
B． has married to；died
C． has been married with；dead
D． has married with；dead
【解答】A.has been married to和......结婚；died死亡，去世；B.has married to错误句式，不能带to；died死亡；C.has been married with错误句式，不能接with；dead死亡的；D.has married with错误句式，不能接with；dead死亡的；根据语法，since从句使用一般过去时，主句使用现在完成时，且主句谓语动词使用延续性动词；故此句since从句使用一般过去时，主句使用be married to表示延续性动作。
故选：A。
21．（1分） They were tired and hungry，so they bad problems_____ .（ ）
A． to keep work B． to keep working
C． keeping working D． keeping to work
【解答】根据题干可知，本题考查固定搭配：have problems doing sth"做某事有困难"，keep doing sth"坚持做某事"，因此C选项符合题意。
故选：C。
22．（1分）I don't know if he_____tomorrow.If he_____ I will tell you.（ ）
A． will come；will come B． comes；will come
C． will come；comes D． comes；comes
【解答】根据题干可知第一句是以if引导的宾语从句，主句为一般现在时，从句中的"tomorrow"明天，表示的是将来，所以用一般将来时态。第二句考查的是以if引导的条件状语从句，主句是一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来，又因he是第三人称单数，所以动词come用三单形式comes。
故选：C。
23．（1分）The old man looks very unhappy，because he lives________，and he feels very________．（ ）
A．alone； alone B．lonely； lonely
C．alone； lonely D．lonely； alone
【解答】答案：C．
alone为形容词，意为"单独的"，只作表语，不能作定语．侧重说明独自一人，没有助手或同伴，没有感情色彩的只表示客观的状态．
lonely意为"孤独的"，表示主观上感到孤独、寂寞，有较浓的感情色彩，指因缺少朋友、同情、友谊等产生的一种悲伤和忧郁的感情．它为形容词，在句中作表语或定语．作定语时，意为"荒凉；偏僻"，多修饰表示地点的名词．根据The old man looks very unhappy，because he lives________，and he feels very，可知老人看上去很不高兴，因为他一个人住，他感到很孤独．第一个空表示独自一个人，用alone，第二个空表示孤独，做表语用lonely．故选C．
24．（1分）—Is Tom in the next room？
—Yes，he is playing computer games ________ his sister is studying.（ ）
A．while B．but C．if D．until
【解答】while而；but但是；if如果；until直到。此处前后句是对比关系，因此用"while"，表示"而"。

﹣﹣﹣ I'd like to join the dancing club．（ ）
A．why you like the dancing club
B．which club you're going to join
C．whether there are any clubs in your school
D．which club are you going to join
【解答】根据could you tell me 可知，本题考查宾语从句，宾语从句中一般为陈述语序，选项D是疑问语序，所以排除掉；再根据I'd like to join the dancing club，可知这里说的应该是你打算加入哪个俱乐部．
故选：B．

28．（8分）Have you ever heard a joke that made you burst into laughter while your foreign friend had a straight face when hearing this？Actually，this is quite normal because maybe he didn't get the joke's point of humor.
There are many stereotypes about humor.For example，people usually think that the British are sarcastic（讽刺的），the Americans are good at physical comedy and the Japanese enjoy puns（双关），but it's not just like that.But is humor actually driven by culture？The answer is beyond doubt（怀疑）.A culture expert said："No skill will make sure the success of a joke or a humorous short story if the content（内容） and style are not culturally appropriate（合适）."
People from different countries have different understandings of humor.To be specific，people living in Western countries use humor for dealing with stress and difficulties in their life.For example，they will turn all the bad things in life into jokes and tell them to everyone，giving the audience a chance to relax and release bad emotions.
However，on the other hand，it is less likely that Easterners will use humor as a solution.Various studies found that Japanese，Chinese and Singaporean students were less likely to use humor in that way compared to Western students.Just as John Wu said，"Westerners are seriously humorous，while Easterners are humorously serious."
Humor doesn't travel.Humor comes from different cultures，language points or cultural vision，usually fails to cross over boundaries（边界） which means that it is difficult to understand certain jokes and types of humor by those who are not part of that culture.
Therefore，the next time you tell a joke to your foreign friend，you need to be prepared that they don't understand and they don't laugh as happily as you do.
（1）A foreigner has a straight face when hearing jokes because C .
A.he/she doesn't want to laugh
B.he/she doesn't understand the language
C.he/she doesn't get the funny points
D.He/she finds jokes very serious
（2）Compared to Easterners，Westerners C .
A.can make sure the success of a joke
B.are better at physical comedies and puns
C.more likely to use humor to solve problems in life
D.care more about the culture behind jokes
（3）How do you understand underlined sentences？ B
A.Humor comes from different countries.
B.Humor is difficult to understand without culture.
C.Humorous people do not travel abroad.
D.Humor can't fly to other countries on its own.
（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？ C
A.Reasons for Humor
B.Stereotypes about Honor
C.Differences of Humor
D.Types of Honor
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Have you ever heard a joke that made you burst into laughter while your foreign friend had a straight face when hearing this？Actually，this is quite normal because maybe he didn't get the joke's point of humor.（你有没有听过一个笑话，让你哈哈大笑，而你的外国朋友听到这个笑话时却板着脸？事实上，这很正常，因为也许他没有理解这个笑话的幽默点。）可知，外国人听笑话时板着脸，因为他/她听不懂笑话的幽默点。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段To be specific，people living in Western countries use humor for dealing with stress and difficulties in their life.For example，they will turn all the bad things in life into jokes and tell them to everyone，giving the audience a chance to relax and release bad emotions.（具体来说，生活在西方国家的人用幽默来应对生活中的压力和困难。例如，他们会把生活中所有的坏事都变成笑话，告诉每个人，给观众一个放松和释放坏情绪的机会。）可知，与东方人相比，西方人更喜欢用幽默来解决生活中的问题。故选C。
（3）推理判断题。根据第二段A culture expert said："No skill will make sure the success of a joke or a humorous short story if the content（内容） and style are not culturally appropriate（合适）."（一位文化专家说："如果一个笑话或幽默的短篇故事的内容和风格不符合文化，那么任何技巧都无法确保它的成功。"）可知，下划线句子的意思应是没有文化就很难理解幽默。故选B。
（4）标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了幽默与文化之间的关系。不同国家的人对幽默的理解和运用方式不同，这与其所处的文化背景有关。西方人通常会用幽默来缓解压力和解决生活中的困难，而东方人则较少用幽默来解决问题。故文章的最佳标题应是"幽默的差异"。故选C。
29．（8分）Most remember little about things that happened in their very early childhood.As a result，some people think that we aren't really able to form memories when we are little.But scientists carrying out research into early memories have suggested that this is untrue.They think that we form memories at a very young age.However，what we remember about our very early lives seems to change as we get older.
Researchers（研究者） in Newfoundland，Canada，worked with 140 children aged between 4 and 13.First，they asked these kids to describe their earliest memory.Then they asked them about how old they'd been when the event happened.Next，they asked the children's parents to make sure if the event actually happened.All the answers were written down.
The researchers waited for two years before they went back to the children and asked them again .what their earliest memory is.Nearly all the children between 4 and 7 years old in the first interview said something very different in the second interview.And when the researchers reminded them of what they'd said the first time，many of the children said，"No，that never happened to me."On the other band，many of the children aged between 10 and 13 described exactly the same in the two interviews.This seems to suggest that our memories change in the early years，but at around the age of ten，the things that we remember get fixed.
The researchers are now looking into the question of why children remember certain events and not others.We always believe that most first or early memories are about very stressful things，because they stand out in our minds.But in this study stressful events were only a small part of the children's memories.More often happy ones.The researchers are trying to work out why this is the case.Maybe we'll see more fascinating discoveries about early memories in the near future.
（1）In the passage scientists did the research among children aged between B .
A.4 and 7
B.4 and 13
C.7 and 10
D.10 and 13
（2）Scientists got the result of the research by A .
A.comparing facts
B.surfing the Internet
C.holding meetings
D.looking through books
（3）Which TRUE according to the passage？ D
A.People's memories never change.
B.People don't form memories at a young age.
C.Most of people's memories are about stressful things.
D.The kids in the research were asked to describe their earliest memories.
（4）The research in the passage is mainly about A .
A.what people's earliest memories are
B.how people keep their first memories
C.it can keep their earliest memories rightly

30．（8分）Meat can be tasty.It is often good for us and it has been part of our meals for hundreds of thousands of years.However，some organizations，such as the Soil Association，say meat should not be eaten every day，especially in schools.This is because farming animals for meat can be bad for the environment and lead to climate （气候）change.The Soil Association wants schools to have more plant﹣based meal choices that don't have meat and that do not cause environmental problems.The Government already advises that schools have one no﹣meat day each week，but not all schools follow this advice.So what do you think？Should schools be made to have one completely no﹣meat day each week？
Yes—it's important to protect the climate
Everyone needs to do their bit to help the planet，and eating less meat is a good start.Although meat can be healthy and is good for us in the right amounts，eating it every day means a lot of animals have to be farmed. This uses up valuable things such as water and land.The animals themselves add to climate change by producing a gas called methane.Besides，it's not necessary to eat meat every day.There are many ways to get the nourishment we need to be healthy.We could eat foods like beans，nuts，potatoes and so on.What's more，eating more plant﹣based foods will save schools' money because they are cheaper than meat.This money could be used on books and school trips.
No—
Students should be able to decide what they eat﹣it's a personal choice.Some students，for example，might eat a little bit of meat each day，but less overall.Besides，meat is full of healthy vitamins and nutrients needed for growth.If schools don't serve meat，they might end up serving chips and junk food instead，which wouldn't be healthier.It's right to tell and educate young people about climate change and the results of the farming industry，but they should be encouraged to change their eating habits rather than being told that they have to. Making people change their habits doesn't always mean people can change their minds.
（1）The example of the Soil Association taken by the writer is to show D .
A.every school must have one no﹣meat day
B.no﹣meat day is becoming a tradition in all schools
C.students should be required to eat meat in the right amounts to keep healthy
D.people try to protect the environment by having one no﹣meat day in schools
（2）The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refers to B .
A.eating much meat
B.farming lots of animals
C.having one no﹣meat day
D.eating more plant﹣based foods
（3）Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in " A " in the passage？
A.it should be up to the students
B.schools shouldn't have one no﹣meat day
C.it's necessary to change students' eating habits
D.students should eat a little bit of meat every day
（4）What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？ C
A.Changing people's minds is really a difficult task.
B.It's not polite to make people change their eating habits.
C.Habits changing cannot always lead to minds changing.
D.It's more important to change eating habits than to change their minds.
【解答】（1）D.细节理解题。根据文中第一段However，some organizations，such as the Soil Association，say meat should not be eaten every day，especially in schools.然而，一些组织，如土壤协会，说不应该每天吃肉，尤其是在学校里。由此可知，作者举的土壤协会的例子，是向人们展示通过在学校一天不吃肉来保护环境。D项符合题意。故选D。
（2）B.代词指代题。根据文中第二段Although meat can be healthy and is good for us in the right amounts，eating it every day means a lot of animals have to be farmed.虽然肉类是健康的，并且适量吃肉类对我们有好处，但每天吃它意味着必须饲养大量动物。由此可知，this指的是，饲养大量的动物。B项符合题意。故选B。
（3）A.细节理解题。根据上文中Yes—it's important to protect the climate.是的——保护气候很重要。以及下文 Students should be able to decide what they eat﹣it's a personal choice.学生应该能够决定他们吃什么——这是个人选择。由此可知，划线处的句意，应该是由学生决定，A项，应该由学生决定，符合题意。故选A。
（4）C.句子理解题。根据文中划线句的句意Making people change their habits doesn't always mean people can change their minds.让人们改变习惯并不总是意味着人们可以改变主意。由此可知，作者指的是习惯改变了但是主意不一定会改变。C项，习惯的改变并不总是会导致主意的改变，符合题意。故选C。
31．（8分）In a room at Stanford University，scientists are studying a small animal called gecko.It's an amazing animal because it can move very quickly up and down a tree and it can even walk upside down on ceilings （天花板）.The scientists are quite interested in the gecko's feet.They want to use the same design on their own robots.The metal robot looks like the gecko.It has four feet which can also walk up walls made of glass.However，it still has a more difficult time when it tries to walk upside down.
Animals and plants can teach people a lot about design（设计） and engineering.When scientists and engineers have a problem，nature often has the answer.This science is called biomimetics（仿生学）.Bio means"studying living things"and mimetic means"copying the movement of things".In other words，scientists study animals and plants in order to copy the design.
Take a whale as an example.Engineers in Canada are studying their flippers（脚蹼） because they move very fast through water.The engineers think the shape can also make the wind turbines（涡轮机） move faster.The boxfish is another animal from the sea which is helping car makers in Germany.Mercedes Benz（奔驰） is using the shape of the fish for one of its new cars.The shape makes it faster and more energy﹣efficient（节能的）.
Velcro（魔术贴） is probably the most famous example of biomimetics.Most people have some Velcro on their clothes.It was invented by be Swiss engineer，George de Mestral in 1948.He was walking in the countryside when be pulled a plant's bur（刺果） from his trousers.He noticed how the bar stock so well to his clothes.He worked on his idea and the result was Velcro and it become an alternative to the traditional zip（拉链）.
In a word，biomimetics has helped to design our world and there are many more future possibilities.Unluckily，it might take a long time to discover all the possibilities.This isn't really surprising because it's taken nature thousands of years to design its animals and plants.
（1）What's the purpose（目的） of Paragraph 1？ B
A.telling us facts
B.giving an example
C.introducing the topic
D.showing reasons
（2）Which of the following shows the structure（结构） of the passage？（P＝ Paragraph） B
（3）What does the underlined word " alternative " mean in Chinese？ D
A.产物
B.原材料
C.制造商
D.替代品
（4）What can we infer（推断） according to the passage？ A
A.Nature can provide people with ideas to make better things.
B.George de Mestral invented the traditional zip too.
C.The robot designed at Stanford University can walk upside down easily.
D.Mercedes Benz is using the shape of the boxfish for one of its new cars.
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段The scientists are quite interested in the gecko's feet.They want to use the same design on their own robots.The metal robot looks like the gecko.It has four feet which can also walk up walls made of glass.However，it still has a more difficult time when it tries to walk upside down.（科学家们对壁虎的脚很感兴趣。他们想在自己的机器人上使用相同的设计。金属机器人看起来像壁虎。它有四只脚，也可以爬上玻璃墙。但是，当它试图倒立行走时，它仍然有一个更困难的时间。）可知文章第一段主要讲了他们想在自己的机器人上使用相同的设计。所以第一段向我们举例说明了这个金属机器人设计的由来。故选B。
（2）细节理解题。阅读文章可知，第一段模仿壁虎造爬墙机器是一个例子；第二段作者阐述了第一段的例子中的科学原理：讲明之后作者又分别举了第三段和第四段的鲸的鳍，魔术贴和刺果两个例子；最后一段是结论。故选B。
（3）词义猜测题。根据He noticed how the bar stock so well to his clothes.He worked on his idea and the result was Velcro and it become an alternative to the traditional zip（拉链）.（他注意到布条是如何很好地粘在衣服上的。他研究了自己的想法，结果是魔术贴，它成为了传统拉链的......。）可知结合选项，可推测下划线的 " alternative" 在汉语中是"替代品"的意思。故选D。
（4）主旨大意题。根据第二段Animals and plants can teach people a lot about design（设计） and engineering.When scientists and engineers have a problem，nature often has the answer.（动植物可以教会人们很多关于设计和工程的知识。当科学家和工程师遇到问题时，大自然往往会给出答案。）阅读全文可知，本文主要关于科学家们学习研究动植物、并将其优点注入自己的设计发明中，从而为人们的生活带来便利。根据这篇文章我们能推断出大自然可以为人们提供更好的想法。故选A。
