A
In Africa, the honeyguide birds can respond to human calls to lead people to honey—what scientists describe as a mutualistic interaction, or one that benefits both creatures. The birds tweet and fly from tree to tree to guide honey seekers to hidden bee nests, typically inside trees. Then, humans open the trees to find honey, and the birds can dine on beeswax, their favorite food.
Dogs have an excellent sense of smell, which is why the folks at Penn Vet Working Dog Center are training dogs to identify the smell of cancer using tissue and blood samples from people who suffer. The scientists hope to develop a way for dogs to screen samples first, then perform follow-up testing on the samples the dogs flagged—a system for spotting cancer in its early stages.
Having a snake wrapped around your neck isn’t necessarily what you usually expect. But Monty, a 13-year-old snake has been helping customers relax with neck massages(按摩). It’s unlikely he was trained to do the job and is just pulsating like any other snake would when around a person’s neck. Regardless, this special snake books out a few weeks in advance.
The Guide Horse Foundation has been training miniature horses (those standing 34 inches or less) as assistance animals for the visually damaged since 1999. Miniature horses are ideal service animals for people who feel uncomfortable with dogs or who want a guide animal with a longer life span. The horses typically live from 30 to 40 years.
1. According to the text, which animal can help you relax
A. A snake. B. A dog.
C. A honeyguide bird. D. A miniature horse.
2. Miniature horses could serve _________.
A. blind people who dislike dogs B. blind people who can live longer
C. animal lovers who search for honey D. animal lovers who suffer from cancer
3. The text is about animals’ _________.
A special training B. great potentials
C unique jobs D. high intelligence
B
Even though some people believe that money makes the world go around, many people would choose health over wealth. For someone like violinist Robert Gupta, who was on his way to becoming a physician before joining the Los Angeles Philharmonic at age 19, music, health, and wealth are all part of the same package.
In addition to music, Gupta is deeply interested in neurobiology Because of his interests, he has had the chance to work with Nathaniel Anthony Ayers, a talented musician whose career was sidelined by schizophrenia. Although Ayers studied music at the Juilliard School York City, his mental illness got in the way of professional success.
After dropping out of Julliard and having unsuccessful medical treatment for his schizophrenia, Ayers moved to Los Angeles where he ended up homeless. In 2005, a journalist for the Los Angeles Times named Steve Lopez heard Ayers playing music in the streets. Lopez wrote a book about Ayers and became his friend. Their friendship became the subject of a movie, and because of the book and the movie, Ayers has had a chance to perform his music in some of the most famous concert halls in the world.
It seemed like Ayers had found his happy ending. However, he refuses to take medication to treat his schizophrenia. He says it keeps him from “hearing the music”. Because of this, Ayers is still subject to schizophrenia and sometimes leaves his home to go back to the streets.
Gupta was introduced to Ayers after Lopez took his friend to a performance of Beethoven’s First and Fourth symphonies, and Ayers asked Gupta for a violin lesson. When they first met, Ayers was on edge. Gupta was afraid that if he taught the lesson in his usual way, Ayers would react violently. Finally, he just began playing. A change came over Ayers. Gupta said, “And m a miracle, he lifted his own violin and he started playing.” The two musicians played many violin pieces together that day. A bond was formed.
Music, Gupta realized, is a way to deal with our emotions, even our most unpleasant ones. “This was the very reason why we made music through our creativity, we’re able to shape those emotions into reality,” he says.
Now, Gupta says, “I will always make music with Nathaniel, whether we’re at Walt Disney Concert Hall or on Skid Row, because he reminds me why I became a musician.”
4. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that Robert Gupta________.
A. became a physician at the age of 19
B. was interested in the treatment of schizophrenia
C. was lucky to be wealthy, healthy and talented in music
D. had long dreamed to join the Los Angeles Philharmonic
5. Ayers got the chance to perform in some famous concert halls thanks to________.
A. Steve Lopez’s book and a movie about their friendship
B. his great efforts to fight against his mental illness
C. Robert Gupta’s original way of teaching music
D. his talent in composing and playing music
6. By “on edge” (in paragraph 5), the author means that Ayers was________.
A. excited but uncertain B. eager for a violin lesson
C. nervous and bad-tempered D. anxious about his own career
7. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. A Great Musician B. Teaching Music
C. Why Study Music D. Music Is Medicine
C
Men hunted.Women gathered. But the discovery of a woman buried 9,000 years ago in the Andes Mountains with weapons and hunting tools challenges this widely accepted view. The woman, thought to be between 17 and 19 years old when she died, was buried with items that suggested she hunted big-game animals by spear (矛) throwing.
The objects accompanying people in death tend to be those that accompanied them in life. Although some scholars have suggested a role for women in ancient hunting, others have dismissed this idea even when hunting tools were uncovered in female burials.
To examine whether this woman found at this site was an exception, the researchers examined 429 skeletons at 107 burial sites from around 8,000 to 14,000 years ago. Of those, 27 individuals were buried with hunting tools—11 were female and 15 were male. The sample was sufficient to “justify the conclusion that female participation in early big-game hunting was likely nontrivial,” said lead study author Haas.
The findings add to doubts about “man-the-hunter” assumption about early humans since the mid-20th century. That theory assumes that it was men who went out and hunted, bringing home meat to feed women and children, who were responsible for gathering berries, plants and nuts to enrich the dict.
But recent research suggests hunting was very much a community-based activity, needing the participation of all able-bodied individuals to drive large animals, the study said. Meanwhile, the spears used at that time had low accuracy, encouraging participation, and using it was a skill learned from childhood. Women may also have been freed from child care demands by “allo-parenting”—raising children was a job shared by many.
“Our findings have made me rethink the most basic organizational structure of ancient hunter-gatherer groups, and human groups more generally,” Haas said.
8. The discovery of the buried woman shows ________.
A. she was killed by a big-game animal B. she might use hunting tools when alive
C. women were good at throwing spears D. women were buried alone after death
9. The underlined word “nontrivial” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. limited B. direct C. significant D. passive
10. Which of the following lead to women’s involvement in hunting
①allo-parenting ②big-game hunting ③tasks of gathering ④less accurate tools
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④
11. Haas probably believes that ________.
A. most of our ancestors were buried with hunting tools
B. we should reconsider previous views on human groups
C. division of labor in hunter-gatherer society remains unchanged
D. the tomb found in the Andes justifies “man-the-hunter” assumption
D
A block chain is a data structure that stores time-ordered data in an ever-growing list, like an accounting ledger (分类账簿). The block chain data structure is maintained using a distributed, peer-to-peer network of computers with no central “master”. As with many new concepts, block chain technology generates much optimism and also a huge amount of interest and excitement. Just what is it good for
In short, block chains may improve any process where people need to access, confirm, send or store information securely. This information could be a person’s identity, a product’s shipment history or digital property like money.
Typical databases, spreadsheets (电子数据表), and ledgers store information about objects, people, and the interactions between them. Much of the world’s information, from credit card transactions to medical and financial records, is stored in these types of systems.
These types of systems have considerable, well-documented weaknesses that arise from their being centralized. A centralized record is hard to understand and is exposed to unauthorized access or distribution. It is also, because it is a ‘master’ copy, exposed to permanent changing or deletion.
Block chains are also used to store information. Crucially, however, they differ in two ways.
First, information is parceled up into blocks and sealed. Bitcoin, for example, which is the most famous practical example of a production block chain, stores all transactions across the network every ten minutes or so in a single, newly formed block. Each block is then added to the previous one to form a chain.
Second, this “chain of blocks” is not stored centrally. Instead, each block is copied and distributed around an entire network of peers - be they individuals, public institutions, or businesses - using distributed ledger technology. (The terms “block chain” and “distributed ledger” are often used interchangeably; for the sake of clarity, block chain technologies tend to employ distributed ledger technology.)
Each time someone adds a new block to the chain, meanwhile it is added to everyone’s copy.
12. What is the biggest strength of a block chain
A. It promotes people’s enthusiasm about new technology.
B. It strengthens the security of processing information.
C. It enables people to store more data in time order.
D. It stores a large part of world’s information.
13. The typical systems used to store information are weak in that ________.
A. they are difficult to operate B. they can be accessed easily
C they have a central “master” D. they store considerable documents
14. The passage is developed mainly by ________.
A. making comparisons B. giving examples
C. making a list D. showing the effect and causes
15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To analyze the weaknesses of typical systems.
B. To encourage the popularity of the block chain.
C. To introduce the new concept of the block chain.
D. To compare the two different data structures.

47. 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。
"Pick up the pace!" said Amy's husband. "But I can't!" Amy said, her heart beating quickly inside. "I can't go any faster! Her husband encouraged her. "Yes, you can! You're making progress every day.”
To help Amy stay healthy, her husband had been running with her for over two years. Several years ago, Amy could barely walk down the stairs of her apartment building due to fatness caused by eating disorders. She realized the problem after a failed job interview and began walking to improve her ability to move. At first, she could walk for only 15 minutes at a time. But she pushed herself every day, walking 5 minutes longer than she did the day before until she walked for an hour and eventually two. For three years, Amy kept her walking habit, slowly and painstakingly building her body shape. Then she changed her walking shoes to running shoes about two years ago and became an excellent runner.
In March 2001, an advertisement invited people to nominate（提名）an ordinary person who inspired them to bring the Olympic flame to Salt Lake City as torch bearers（火炬手）or support runners.（Support runners serve as “guardians of the flame" and run with torch bearers along the journey.）Amy's experiences touched her husband, so he nominated her to be a torch bearer. The possibility to be selected was low, but Amy wanted to try.
Running taught Amy the importance of training for a race. She pictured herself running a race and crossing the finish line. For months, she ran through her neighborhood carrying a broken-off broom handle, feeling the weight of the torch. She waved at her neighbors, pretending they were cheering crowds. She also printed a picture of a torch bearer wearing the white uniform, replaced the face with a picture of hers, and put it onto her refrigerator door.
Every day, Amy imagined herself as a torch bearer. She was training for a historic running event. On September 26th, while on her daily run through her neighborhood, an express package arrived.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Amy opened it and found a letter and a book on the Olympics.

Paragraph 2:

推理判断题。根据第一段中“The woman, thought to be between 17 and 19 years old when she died, was buried with items that suggested she hunted big-game animals by spear (矛) throwing. (这名女性被认为死的时候在17岁到19岁之间，埋葬的物品表明她用长矛猎杀大型猎物) ”，研究人员发现的女性说明她活着的时候可能会用打猎工具，故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Of those, 27 individuals were buried with hunting tools—11 were female and 15 were male. The sample was sufficient to “justify the conclusion that female participation in early big-game hunting was likely nontrivial,” said lead study author Haas. (其中，27人埋葬的地方有狩猎工具，其中11人是女性，15人是男性。研究报告的主要作者Haas说，这一样本足以证明“女性参与早期大型狩猎活动可能是nontrivial”的结论)”，可知，在研究中发现的埋葬的地方有狩猎工具的男女比例相当，因此，女性在早期大型狩猎中有参与这一观点应当是正确的，是有重要意义的，故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“But recent research suggests hunting was very much a community-based activity, needing the participation of all able-bodied individuals to drive large animals, the study said. Meanwhile, the spears used at that time had low accuracy, encouraging participation, and using it was a skill learned from childhood. Women may also have been freed from child care demands by “allo-parenting”—raising children was a job shared by many. (但最近的研究表明，狩猎在很大程度上是一种以社区为基础的活动，需要所有身体健全的人参与大型动物的狩猎。同时，当时使用的长矛精度不高，所以鼓励大家都参与，使用长矛是从小学习的技能。女性也可以通 过“另类育儿”从育儿需求中解脱出来——抚养孩子是许多人共同的工作)”，可知，另类育儿解放了女性，大型狩猎以及使用的低精度的工具需要女性参与狩猎，也就是①②④导致女性参与狩猎，故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。最后一段““Our findings have made me rethink the most basic organizational structure of ancient hunter-gatherer groups, and human groups more generally,” Haas said. (Hass说：“我们的发现让我重新思考了古代狩猎采集群体最基本的组织结构，以及更普遍的人类群体 ”)”，可知，Haas认为我们应当重新思考之前对人类群体的看法。故选B。
D
A block chain is a data structure that stores time-ordered data in an ever-growing list, like an accounting ledger (分类账簿). The block chain data structure is maintained using a distributed, peer-to-peer network of computers with no central “master”. As with many new concepts, block chain technology generates much optimism and also a huge amount of interest and excitement. Just what is it good for
In short, block chains may improve any process where people need to access, confirm, send or store information securely. This information could be a person’s identity, a product’s shipment history or digital property like money.
Typical databases, spreadsheets (电子数据表), and ledgers store information about objects, people, and the interactions between them. Much of the world’s information, from credit card transactions to medical and financial records, is stored in these types of systems.
These types of systems have considerable, well-documented weaknesses that arise from their being centralized. A centralized record is hard to understand and is exposed to unauthorized access or distribution. It is also, because it is a ‘master’ copy, exposed to permanent changing or deletion.
Block chains are also used to store information. Crucially, however, they differ in two ways.
First, information is parceled up into blocks and sealed. Bitcoin, for example, which is the most famous practical example of a production block chain, stores all transactions across the network every ten minutes or so in a single, newly formed block. Each block is then added to the previous one to form a chain.
Second, this “chain of blocks” is not stored centrally. Instead, each block is copied and distributed around an entire network of peers - be they individuals, public institutions, or businesses - using distributed ledger technology. (The terms “block chain” and “distributed ledger” are often used interchangeably; for the sake of clarity, block chain technologies tend to employ distributed ledger technology.)
Each time someone adds a new block to the chain, meanwhile it is added to everyone’s copy.
12. What is the biggest strength of a block chain
A. It promotes people’s enthusiasm about new technology.
B. It strengthens the security of processing information.
C. It enables people to store more data in time order.
D. It stores a large part of world’s information.
13. The typical systems used to store information are weak in that ________.
A. they are difficult to operate B. they can be accessed easily
C. they have a central “master” D. they store considerable documents
14. The passage is developed mainly by ________.
A. making comparisons B. giving examples
C. making a list D. showing the effect and causes
15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To analyze the weaknesses of typical systems.
B. To encourage the popularity of the block chain.
C. To introduce the new concept of the block chain.
D. To compare the two different data structures.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文， 介绍一种新的存储系统——区块链的概念、好处，并比较区块链和典型的存储系统的不同之处。区块链的优势在于增强人们信息处理的安全性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。第一段最后提出问题Just what is it good for （好处是什么？），
第二段回答这个问题：block chains may improve any process where people need to access, confirm, send or store information securely （区块链可以改善任何人们需要安全访问、确认、发送或存储信息的过程）。区块链的优势是增强人们信息处理的安全性。故选B项。
13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段These types of systems have considerable, well-documented weaknesses that arise from their being centralized. A centralized record is hard to understand and is exposed to unauthorized access or distribution. It is also, because it is a ‘master’ copy, exposed to permanent changing or deletion 可知，这种典型的系统有相当大的弱点，而这些弱点产生于它们的集中化。集中记录很难理解，并且暴露在未经授权的访问或分配中。也是因为它是 “主”本，会遭到永久更改或删除。因此这种系统的缺点在于集中化。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第5段Block chains are also used to store information. Crucially, however, they differ in two ways（区块链也被用来存储信息。但关键的是，它们在两个方面有所不同）可知，文章是围绕将区块链和典型的存储系统作比较而展开的。下文是说明区块链存储信息方式的不同。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一、二段介绍区块链的概念和好处，第三、四段介绍典型系统存储信息，第六、七、八段介绍区块链存储信息的不同之处。因此本文是介绍区块链这一新的概念。故选C项。

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
About twenty of us were fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio to take part in a crowd-scene. ___36___ our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio as ___37___(workman) prepared the scene, ___38___(set) up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera ___39___(operate) and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. ___40___ it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path.

The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.
The next scene was a complete contrast. The way it was filmed was quite ___42___ (usual). Pictures taken on___43___ island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood off the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. ___44___ a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives, ___45___ would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"！

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了我们参加了一次电影摄制的群演的经历。
【详解】1.考查让步状语从句。句意：尽管我们的“表演”只持续了很短的时间，但是我们可以看到很多有趣的事情。根据句中we could see quite a number of interesting things可知，我们看到了许多有趣的事情，与前文our "act" would last only for a short time形成对比，所以本句是肯定逗号后面的内容，因为前文应该是让步状语从句。故填Although/Though。
2.考查名词复数。句意：我们都站在工作室的尽头，工作人员在一条蜿蜒小路的边上布置场景，架起树木。workman“工作人员”为可数名词，结合句中prepared the scene可知，此处指复数含义，故填workmen。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析可知， ___3____(set) up trees at the edge of a winding path在句中为状语，句子主语workmen与set为主谓关系，因句中已有谓语prepared，所以此处要用现在分词形式setting。故填setting。
4.考查名词。句意：导演对摄影师喊了几句话，然后走到附近的两个著名演员面前。根据后文 then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby可知此处指导演对着摄影师喊。operator“操作员”为名词，故填operator。
5.考查连词。句意：因为摄影棚里很热，所以当我们看到其中一个演员穿上厚大衣，沿着小路走时，我们感到很惊讶。根据下文it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path可知，我们惊讶的是一个演员穿着厚厚的大衣，表示结果，所以__5___it was hot in the studioy为原因状语从句，空白处指的是原因。故填Since/As/Because。
6.考查时态。句意：又打开了两个风扇，一阵“强风”吹过树林。空白处在句中作谓语，结合句中Two more fans were turned on可知，此处也要用一般过去时。blow“吹”为动词，其过去式为blew，故填blew。
7.考查形容词。句意：拍摄的方式很不寻常。根据下文Pictures taken on__8____island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood off the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island.可知，在太平洋的一个小岛上拍摄的照片，被显示在一个玻璃屏幕上。一对男女演员站在场外，使他们看起来像是在一个岛上的水边。所以此处指拍摄的方式很不寻常。故填unusual。
8.考查冠词。句意：在太平洋的一个小岛上拍摄的照片，被显示在一个玻璃屏幕上。一对男女演员站在场外，使他们看起来像是在一个岛上的水边。根据下文so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island，可知此处指拍摄的照片是太平洋上的一个小岛。island“岛屿”为可数名词，因第一个音素为元音音素，此处为泛指，故填an。
9.考查介词。句意：通过这样一个简单的把戏，棕榈树，沙滩，和蓝色，晴朗的天空被带进了演播室！根据下文palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio，可知此处指“通过”这样的方式，by/through，意为“通过……方式”，故填By/Through。
10.考查人称代词。句意：整整三分钟，我们将体验成为电影明星的兴奋！根据前文Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us，可知此处指我们将会体验成为电影明星的兴奋，空白处作句子的主语，所以此处填人称代词we。故填we。

47. 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。
"Pick up the pace!" said Amy's husband. "But I can't!" Amy said, her heart beating quickly inside. "I can't go any faster! Her husband encouraged her. "Yes, you can! You're making progress every day.”
To help Amy stay healthy, her husband had been running with her for over two years. Several years ago, Amy could barely walk down the stairs of her apartment building due to fatness caused by eating disorders. She realized the problem after a failed job interview and began walking to improve her ability to move. At first, she could walk for only 15 minutes at a time. But she pushed herself every day, walking 5 minutes longer than she did the day before until she walked for an hour and eventually two. For three years, Amy kept her walking habit, slowly and painstakingly building her body shape. Then she changed her walking shoes to running shoes about two years ago and became an excellent runner.
In March 2001, an advertisement invited people to nominate（提名）an ordinary person who inspired them to bring the Olympic flame to Salt Lake City as torch bearers（火炬手）or support runners.（Support runners serve as “guardians of the flame" and run with torch bearers along the journey.）Amy's experiences touched her husband, so he nominated her to be a torch bearer. The possibility to be selected was low, but Amy wanted to try.
Running taught Amy the importance of training for a race. She pictured herself running a race and crossing the finish line. For months, she ran through her neighborhood carrying a broken-off broom handle, feeling the weight of the torch. She waved at her neighbors, pretending they were cheering crowds. She also printed a picture of a torch bearer wearing the white uniform, replaced the face with a picture of hers, and put it onto her refrigerator door.
Every day, Amy imagined herself as a torch bearer. She was training for a historic running event. On September 26th, while on her daily run through her neighborhood, an express package arrived.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Amy opened it and found a letter and a book on the Olympics. The letter read, "Congratulations! You've been selected as a support runner for the Olympic Torch Relay..." Although she wouldn't be wearing the white uniform, she wasn't disappointed. She completed the required physical examination, delivered the forms, and waited. Months later, another package arrived. It contained her official blue support runner uniform along with instructions for her part of the relay. Then on a cold day, Amy and her husband stood outside the Torch Relay collection point.
Paragraph 2:
"One of today's torch bearers can't run her part," announced the relay organizer. Then he said, "One lucky support runner will become a torch bearer. Select a person now." Luckily, Amy became the torch bearer. Holding it tight, she ran down the street filled with people waving flags. The Olympic theme song was broadcast. Amy smiled and waved to the crowds, knowing that she was carrying not only the torch, but also the Olympic spirit.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，几年前，艾米由于饮食失调导致肥胖，几乎走不下公寓楼的楼梯。在丈夫的帮助下，慢慢地恢复身材，并成为一名优秀的跑步运动员。在看了一则广告后，丈夫鼓励艾米去竞选奥运火炬手。为此，艾米把自己想象成火炬手，一直为此训练，直到有一天，一个快递包裹到达。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：艾米打开它，发现了一封信和一本关于奥运会的书。本段应该写艾米看到信上写着自己被选为奥运火炬接力的助跑员。她完成体检几个月后，又来了一个包裹，里面是正式的蓝色助跑服，还有她那部分接力的说明，终于到了火炬接力的那一天。第二段开头是：“今天的火炬手中有一个不能胜任她的角色，”接力组织者宣布。本段应该写艾米在挥舞着旗帜的人们中，跑去接过火炬，奥运主题曲播出了，艾米微笑着向人群挥手致意，她传递的不仅是火炬，还有奥林匹克精神。
续写时要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右，按要求完成写作任务。
