五、阅读理解(本题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分)
A
Dogs may help save the day in the Philippines, as they use their noses to smell out survivors buried by Friday's mudslide (泥石流). The team of dogs arrived in the Philippines from Spain, and this Tuesday they were just beginning their work. Search officials told CNN they hope the recent rain will wash away the smell of rescue teams so
the dogs can do their job more accurately.
The dogs were brought in after sound equipment found sounds coming from deep inside the ruins, at a place where a school stood before the mudslide covered it. The sounds could mean people are still alive under all the mud or it could just be the earth resettling.
On Monday, rescue workers worked at the school site until three in the morning, trying to locate survivors, and they will begin digging again as soon as the dogs think they find someone.
Human teams from the US, Malaysia, and Australia are all trying to help, too. But so far they have yet to locate any survivors. Rescue workers told CNN that an earlier report that 50 survivors had been found was false.
How did all that mud bury the village in the first place On Friday, 2,400-foot Mt Kanabag turned into a mudslide after two weeks of constant rain weakened it. The mountain crumbled and the mud fell onto the village Guinsaugon, burying the 1,800 people who lived there. Out of the 300 houses in the village, only 3 were not covered by the mud. The village is on a southern Philippine island called Levte. Rescue efforts have been difficult because the village takes six hours to reach from the nearest airport. Hopefully, the dogs can help their human friends find survivors.
1.According to the search officials' words in the first paragraph, we can learn that .
A.the smell of rescue teams can disturb the dogs
B.the dogs can follow the smell of rescue teams
C.the dogs can't smell the rescue teams
D.the dogs can tell the smells of buried people and rescue teams apart
2.The main purpose of this passage is probably .
A.to show the way to rescue the victims in the ruins
B.to introduce the instruments to save victims in a disaster
C.to tell readers that dogs can smell out victims buried in the ruins
D.to show how to train dogs to save victims in a mudslide
3.How many survivors have been found by the dogs
A.50. B.Only a few. C.1, 800. D.None.
4.The reason why the rescue work wasn't going smoothly was probably that .
A.the rain was heavy
B.so many people were buried
C.it was difficult to reach the village
D.there was little chance to save the survivors
B
An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items, like those made of glass, should usually be placed on a lower surface and near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits(短路) and being on fire during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath(在……下方) an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under trees, street lights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris(瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle(哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
5.The purpose of the passage is to tell readers .
A.the damage caused by earthquakes
B.the rescue work after earthquakes
C.what to do about earthquakes
D.how to prevent earthquakes
6.The underlined word “Fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A.easily broken B.easily found C.expensive D.heavy
7.During the earthquake, people are advised to .
A.go out of the building at once
B.turn off power and gas immediately
C.take shelter under a tree
D.drive to a safe place
8.What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris
A.Cover their mouth with a handkerchief.
B.Tap on a pipe or wall for help.
C.Use a whistle for help.
D.Light a fire for help.
C
Life has gone mostly online for many people around the world. With more people going online during the COVID-19 pandemic, global Internet traffic has become a big problem. Between January and late March, many major cities experienced an increase in Internet traffic.
Video meetings, online classrooms and stay-at-home entertainment have become a daily routine. This increase in traffic is testing the Internet' s strength. In March, major phone networks in the UK experienced mass outages(断供). People were not able to take calls, receive texts or use mobile data.
In the US, major telecommunications companies like AT&T said traffic was up 21 percent month over month. Video streaming services like You Tube, Netflix and Facebook have cut their picture qualities and download speeds. This is being done to reduce network traffic jams.
China has seen an Internet traffic increase of around 50 percent compared to the end of 2019. The country's network speeds went down sharply in early February. However, they returned to normal soon afterwards and have been working well. This is due to China’s work in building network infrastructure(基础设施), especially 5G technology. By the end of February, 164,000 5G base stations had been built nationwide. This has given Chinese networks the power to handle increased traffic.
“If there were no such development in the Internet network field. people could hardly enjoy such a colorful life at home. Online working and teaching could never be realized so smoothly," said Wen Kun, an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
9. What happened to the Internet due to COVID-19
A. Internet traffic was jammed. B. Internet access was cut off.
C. Internet service was ignored. D. Internet community was ruined.
10. Why did some US companies cut download speeds
A. To increase Internet strength. B. To improve picture qualities.
C. To avoid Internet breakdown. D. To reduce the number of users.
11. Compared with other countries, China's Internet system_________.
A. suffered bigger losses B. recovered faster
C. cost less money D. started earlier
12. What is Wen Kun's attitude towards China's Internet network
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Critical. D. Positive.
D
In the story of The Crow and the Pitcher from Aesop's Fables, a thirsty crow (乌鸦) drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.
Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. Crows actually do understand how to make water displacement (排水量) work to their advantage, experiments show. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first graders.
Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Cambridge, presented six crows with tubes containing water. Inside the tubes, a worm or a piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged several rubber erasers that would sink，and some plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.
However, the_birds_handled_awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into a narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops; while it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn't realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.
Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in a small amount of water at the bottom.
12．How did the crows get the snack in Sarah's experiment
A．By breaking the tube.
B．By dropping in erasers.
C．By standing on the wood.
D．By removing the wood.
13．What does the author mean by “the birds handled awkwardly” in Paragraph 4
A．They were unable to tell different shapes.
B．They dropped objects only into narrow tubes.
C．They were not aware of the snack at first sight.
D．They mostly avoided the easier way to get the snack.
14．What does the text mainly focus on
A．Stories of Aesop's Fables.
B．The development of crows.
C．Crows' intelligence.
D．Human animal communication.
15．What do we know about crows in the passage
A．Crows are almost as clever as first graders in some respects.
B．Crows understand water displacement completely.
C．Chimps and children are much smarter than crows.
D．The story of The Crow and the Pitcher lacks evidence.

A young lady was standing on the corner with a map in her hand. She looked puzzled. Several people passed by, looked at her but did not stop. I wondered why. Maybe it was because of the way she was dressed. She wore a dirty dress and looked pale.
As I crossed the street and came closer to her, I asked if she wanted help. She thanked me and smiled in relief. As it turned out, she was looking for the hospital. I felt wonderful just reaching out, and taking that extra moment to help.
Many times in these situations I end up walking a person to where he or she is going when giving directions would be too complicated. I like helping people this way due to my own experience. Many years ago, we travelled in China and needed directions. A kind Chinese who saw our problem came to us and helped us out. This man just took my heavy bags and guided us to where we needed to be. We could not speak any Chinese while the man could not speak any English. Although we could not communicate through words, we communicated through the heart.
Sometimes when I do a special favor for a stranger, the person will say, “I hope I can do something for you one day to return the favor.” They already have done something for me by giving me the opportunity to help them. But I hope that when they come across a situation where someone needs their help, they will be willing to reach out as well.
1. Why didn’t those passers-by give a helping hand to the young lady (no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________
2. What was the young lady’s problem？(no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________
3. What does the underlined sentence mean (no more than 20 words)
_________________________________________________________________
4. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph (no more than 15 words)
_________________________________________________________________
5. Are you willing to help people in need Give one example. (no more than 30 words)

3.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But so far they have yet to locate any survivors. Rescue…was false.”及最后一段中的“Hopefully, the dogs can help their human friends find survivors.(希望这些狗能帮助它们的人类朋友找到幸存者)”可推知,目前这些狗还没有发现幸存者。故选D。
4.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The village is on a southern Philippine island called Levte. Rescue efforts have been difficult because the village takes six hours to reach from the nearest airport.(这个村庄位于菲律宾南部一个叫作Levte的小岛上。救援工作一直很困难,因为从最近的机场到这个村庄需要6个小时)”可知,该村庄地处偏远地区,交通不便,这给救援工作带来不便。故选C。

An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items, like those made of glass, should usually be placed on a lower surface and near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits(短路) and being on fire during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath(在……下方) an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under trees, street lights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris(瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle(哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.

Life has gone mostly online for many people around the world. With more people going online during the COVID-19 pandemic, global Internet traffic has become a big problem. Between January and late March, many major cities experienced an increase in Internet traffic.
Video meetings, online classrooms and stay-at-home entertainment have become a daily routine. This increase in traffic is testing the Internet' s strength. In March, major phone networks in the UK experienced mass outages(断供). People were not able to take calls, receive texts or use mobile data.
In the US, major telecommunications companies like AT&T said traffic was up 21 percent month over month. Video streaming services like You Tube, Netflix and Facebook have cut their picture qualities and download speeds. This is being done to reduce network traffic jams.
China has seen an Internet traffic increase of around 50 percent compared to the end of 2019. The country's network speeds went down sharply in early February. However, they returned to normal soon afterwards and have been working well. This is due to China’s work in building network infrastructure(基础设施), especially 5G technology. By the end of February, 164,000 5G base stations had been built nationwide. This has given Chinese networks the power to handle increased traffic.
“If there were no such development in the Internet network field. people could hardly enjoy such a colorful life at home. Online working and teaching could never be realized so smoothly," said Wen Kun, an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
9. What happened to the Internet due to COVID-19
A. Internet traffic was jammed. B. Internet access was cut off.
C. Internet service was ignored. D. Internet community was ruined.
10. Why did some US companies cut download speeds
A. To increase Internet strength. B. To improve picture qualities.
C. To avoid Internet breakdown. D. To reduce the number of users.
11. Compared with other countries, China's Internet system_________.
A. suffered bigger losses B. recovered faster
C. cost less money D. started earlier
12. What is Wen Kun's attitude towards China's Internet network
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Critical. D. Positive.
9. A 10. C 11. B 12. D
【分析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了COVID-19时期人们大量的工作、学习、活动转为线上进行而导致的“网络拥堵”现象，并着重说明中国互联网基础设施的发展成功应对了这一挑战。
9. A细节理解题。根据原文第一段“With more people going online during the COVID-19 pandemic, global Internet traffic has become a big problem.”可知，随着更多的人涌入网络，“网络交通”成为了一个巨大的问题，而对于这个具体的问题，可以在原文第三段中找到线索“This is being done to reduce network traffic jams.”相关公司采取措施是为了降低网络的“交通拥堵”，故A选项“网络交通出现拥堵”符合原文，而干扰项B称“互联网接入被切断”不符合原文，其程度过于严重，故选A。
10. C细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Video streaming services like You Tube, Netflix and Facebook have cut their picture qualities and download speeds. This is being done to reduce network traffic jams.”可知，这些视频流服务降低了画面质量和下载速度，这样做是为了降低网络拥堵程度，防止其完全宕机，彻底崩溃，故选C。
11. B细节理解题。根据原文第四段“However, they returned to normal soon afterwards and have been working well.”可知，中国的互联网很快就恢复了正常使用，B选项“更快恢复”符合原文，故选B。
12. D推理判断题。本题是对于观点态度的判断，根据原文最后一段其所说的话“If there were no such development in the Internet network field. people could hardly enjoy such a colorful life at home. Online working and teaching could never be realized so smoothly”可知，“如果在互联网领域没有这样的发展，人们很难在家就享受到这么多彩的生活，在线的工作和教学从未像现在这样如此流畅地实现。”据此推断，他对中国互联网发展持积极的态度，故选D项（positive）。
D
In the story of The Crow and the Pitcher from Aesop's Fables, a thirsty crow (乌鸦) drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.
Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. Crows actually do understand how to make water displacement (排水量) work to their advantage, experiments show. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first graders.
Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Cambridge, presented six crows with tubes containing water. Inside the tubes, a worm or a piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged several rubber erasers that would sink，and some plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.
However, the_birds_handled_awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into a narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops; while it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn't realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.
Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in a small amount of water at the bottom.
12．How did the crows get the snack in Sarah's experiment
A．By breaking the tube.
B．By dropping in erasers.
C．By standing on the wood.
D．By removing the wood.
13．What does the author mean by “the birds handled awkwardly” in Paragraph 4
A．They were unable to tell different shapes.
B．They dropped objects only into narrow tubes.
C．They were not aware of the snack at first sight.
D．They mostly avoided the easier way to get the snack.
14．What does the text mainly focus on
A．Stories of Aesop's Fables.
B．The development of crows.
C．Crows' intelligence.
D．Human animal communication.
15．What do we know about crows in the passage
A．Crows are almost as clever as first graders in some respects.
B．Crows understand water displacement completely.
C．Chimps and children are much smarter than crows.
D．The story of The Crow and the Pitcher lacks evidence.
[语篇解读] 本文介绍了科学家通过实验对乌鸦智商的研究。
12. 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.”可知，乌鸦能够把橡皮擦扔到管里，使水位升高，然后吃到零食。所以选B项。
答案：B
13.解析：推理判断题。从第四段可知，实验中的乌鸦在面对粗细不同的管子时，虽然只需往细管里投两次物体就可以够到零食，而需往粗管里投大约七次物体才能够到零食，但是乌鸦往往先去粗管那边，而没有选择更容易获得零食的细管。由此可推知，画线部分是说它们通常没有选择更容易的方式以得到零食。
答案：D
14. 解析：主旨大意题。根据第二段最后一句“The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first graders.”以及下文中的实验可知，整篇文章都是围绕乌鸦的智商问题来展开的。
答案：C
15. 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first graders.”可知，乌鸦在一些方面几乎跟一年级学生一样聪明。
答案：A

阅读表达。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
A young lady was standing on the corner with a map in her hand. She looked puzzled. Several people passed by, looked at her but did not stop. I wondered why. Maybe it was because of the way she was dressed. She wore a dirty dress and looked pale.
As I crossed the street and came closer to her, I asked if she wanted help. She thanked me and smiled in relief. As it turned out, she was looking for the hospital. I felt wonderful just reaching out, and taking that extra moment to help.
Many times in these situations I end up walking a person to where he or she is going when giving directions would be too complicated. I like helping people this way due to my own experience. Many years ago, we travelled in China and needed directions. A kind Chinese who saw our problem came to us and helped us out. This man just took my heavy bags and guided us to where we needed to be. We could not speak any Chinese while the man could not speak any English. Although we could not communicate through words, we communicated through the heart.
Sometimes when I do a special favor for a stranger, the person will say, “I hope I can do something for you one day to return the favor.” They already have done something for me by giving me the opportunity to help them. But I hope that when they come across a situation where someone needs their help, they will be willing to reach out as well.
1. Why didn’t those passers-by give a helping hand to the young lady (no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________

5. Are you willing to help people in need Give one example. (no more than 30 words)
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
1. Maybe because she wore a dirty dress and looked pale.
2. She didn’t know the way to the hospital./She was looking for the hospital.
3. I tend to show him/her directly to the destination he or she wants instead of just giving directions/I tend to guide a person to where he or she needs to be if it’s difficult to give direction.
4. Reach out as long as you can when someone needs your help.
5. Yes, I am. (The example is open.) One example: Once I met a pregnant woman with a lot of luggage when I was waiting to get on the train, I helped her carry the heavy loads.
