（2020·福建福州三校联盟高一期末）Elephants are able to know the difference between a man and a woman，and can tell an adult（成年人）from a child--all from the sound of a human voice. This is according to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.
The animals showed more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai men Usually Masai people hunt elephants，and this suggests that animals have grown to listen for and avoid them.
Prof. Karen McComb and Dr Graeme Shannon from the University of Sussex led the study. They explained that in former research they had used similar experiments to show that elephants could tell-from the sound of a lion--whether the animal was a female（雌性）or a more dangerous male（雄性）Prof. Karen McComb wanted to find out if the animals used their very sharp sense of hearing to recognize danger from humans.
The scientists recorded Masai men，women and children saying，in their own language，"Look，look over there，a group of elephants are coming.” They also recorded Kamba men saying this phrase.
Masai people often come across elephants，which can result in violent（暴力的）hunting. Kamba people，however，mainly feed on agriculture，which does not generally bring them into violent touch with the animals.
When the team played recordings of these different voices through a hidden speaker，they found that elephant family groups showed more fear in response to the voice of a Masai man than to a Kamba man's voice. And the adult male Masa voices caused far more violent response than the voices of women or children.
4. An elephant can tell a man from a woman by sense of ___________.
A touch
B. sight
C. smell
D. hearing
5. How did the researchers get to know the elephants' special ability
A.by watching the elephants in the zoo.
B. By playing voice recordings to them.
C. By recording the behaviors of elephants.
D. By communicating with them in a special way.
6. We can learn from the passage that elephants are especially afraid of ________.
A. Masai men
B. Masai women
C. Kamba men
D. Kamba women
7. What is the best title for the passage
A. Elephants and Human Beings

（2020·渝东六校高一期末联考）Have you ever wondered what the longest word in the English language is？Believe it or not，there's no simple answer to the question. You might think it would be as easy as opening a dictionary and looking for the longest word. However，it's far more complicated（复杂的）than that.
Over time，many people have suggested many different words for the title of the longest word in English. How can that be？That's because the first thing that people have different opinions on is what should be considered a word. Some of the words were simply made up to be the longest！For example there is one really famous long word that most kids know. It comes from Disney's movie Mary Poppins：supercalifragili-sticexpialidocious，which means wonderful. But since that 34-letter word was made up simply to be sung as a song in a movie，should it count？
How about long words that actually describe something in the world？Scientists have come up with several possible choices The name of a virus（病毒）totals 1，185 letters. There's also a protein（蛋白质）whose name totals 1，9 09 letters. Should these win the title？Not so fast say some people. Are these words ever actually used Can they even be pronounced And are they meaningful just because they are made up to be long
If you' re wondering about some long words in common English, here are some examples. Those words include uncharacteristically (20 letters), deinstitutionalization (22letters) and counterrevolutionaries (also 22 letters). Or perhaps the word "smiles" is the longest word in English. Sure, it has only six letters, but there is a "mile" between the first and the last letters！
8. What is the first thing to consider when we decide the longest word
A. Whether it is a real word.
B. Whether it can be pronounced.
C. Whether it is used in daily life.
D. Whether it can be understood.
9. Why does the author mention the underlined questions in Paragraph 3
A. To ask for readers' opinions.
B. To compare different ideas.
C. To describe the condition.
D. To show people's doubt.
10. How does the author sound in the last paragraph
A. Proud.
B Humorous.
C. Excited.
D. Surprised.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. English words change a lot as time goes by.
B Long words are often used in scientific fields.
C. It is hard to decide what the longest word is.
D Why we can’t understand some English words.

（2020·山东模考卷）My school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters（水泡）from digging，and we all got insect bites，too.
I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration（合作） and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors，but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden，since many schools plant them.
The teacher explained that，after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie（大草原），we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants，and then we planted them. We did not water the garden but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain，since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.
As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.
That night, we watched the news and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work all those blisters it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too
12. What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden
A. They were excited.
B. They were surprised.
C. They were worried.
D. They were uninterested.
13. What is special about the garden

15. How did the author feel about the project

（2020·浙江温州十五校联合体高一期末）Body language provides a lot of information on what other people are thinking. A research has shown that 55%of communication comes from body language. 16 Next time you’re in a meeting，watch for these cues（暗示）
Real smiles crinkle（使起皱纹）the eyes. When it comes to smiling，the mouth can lie but the eyes cant. Real smiles reach the eyes，crinkling the skin to create crow's feet around them People often smile to hide what they're really thinking and feeling，so the next time you want to know if someone’s smile is real，look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes. 17
18 Have you ever been in a meeting with someone and noticed that every time you cross or uncross your legs they do the same？Or perhaps they lean their heads the same way as yours when you're talking？That’s actually a good sign It means that the conversation is going well and that the other party accepts your message.
Eyes that lie. Most of us believe that it's difficult to hold someone’s gaze（凝视）when they're lying. But that's such common knowledge that people will often try to hold eye contact, hoping to cover up the fact that they’re lying. 19 If you' re talking with someone whose gaze is making you uncomfortable, something is up and they might be lying to you. Even if you can’t read a person’s exact thoughts, you can learn a lot from their body language. 20
A. Copying your body language is a good thing.
B. If they aren't there, that smile is hiding something.
C. Good sings lead to good conversations in a meeting.
D. You'll have to find out how long they have looked at you.
E. Learning how to understand that 55% can give you a lot of.
F. That's especially true when words and body language don’t match.
G. The problem is that most of them will hold eye contact until it feels uncomfortable.

（2020·四川宜宾第四中学高一期末）Every day on the way to work I drive down a street lined with pine trees. One tree in particular 21 my attention. It must have suffered some damage.

（2020·上海北虹高级中学高一期末）
UK Schools ban Students from Using slang（俚语）
Officials at Sheffield’s Springs Academy has introduced a new policy to prevent students aged 11 to 18 36 （use）slang and colloquial abbreviations（口语化的缩写）inside the school. Harris Academy Upper Norwood said it carried out the program to allow its students 37 （express） themselves confidently and appropriately.38 we want to make sure of is that they are confident in using standard English. Slang doesn’t really give the right impression of the person. Young people going to interviews for their first job need to make a good impression so 39 employers will have confidence in them.
Donna Bowater at the Daily Telegraph writes that short forms of words 40
（become）popular with the rise of text messages and the social networking website Twitter in the past few years.
“In addition to 41 （give）students the teaching they need to succeed academically，we want them to develop the soft skills 42 they will need to compete for jobs and university places,” the school was quoted as saying in a statement by the BBC.
43 the above-mentioned support, South Yorkshire MP Angela smith said that the policy might cause a risk to dialects(方言) and accents. Some critics argued that slang provided students with an environment 44 they could feel both the history and development of languages.
The widespread argument is making people wonder 45 it is necessary to cut the use of slang entirely or not. All in all, different opinions of the policy help us have a deeper understanding of the truth that language is always changing with the times.

（2020·湖南师大附中高一期末）I went up to the roof for a break after studying for an hour and watched the 50 or so people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house It was a sunny day-a blue，cloudless sky over a calm sea But then，as I looked in the distance，I discovered a series of three or four big waves heading towards the shore. I’d seen these mini-tsunamis（海啸）many times before. They were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. Most people knew how to look out for them but from the screams that started coming from the beach，I could tell someone was in trouble.
Without thinking，I ran down into the street，holding my body board（俯伏冲浪板）on the way and shouted at a stranger to go inside my house and call the coastguard. My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his body board，so together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea.
Once we got closer，we discovered the waves had pulled boy and a girl from the pool and into the open sea. I knew that the nearest boat would take at least 30 minutes to reach us. Waiting for help wasn't a choice. I wasn’t used to this sort of emergency--I'd never been trained as a lifeguard-but I didn’t think twice about trying to save them. I supposed in a way I wanted to impress everyone：at 19，a deal like that can seem like a good opportunity to show off.
Moises and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to get to them. When we finally reached them they were almost lifeless with only their heads coming in and out of the water. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was clear they wouldn't have been able to stay there much longer. I hold the boy and pulled him over my board. Moises moved the girl on to his board. We discussed pushing them back to the shore，but we were too far out.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
We had to wait，eagerly hoping for the arrival of the saving boat.__________________

Masai男性的声音会使大象的反应更激烈。故选A。
7. C 主旨大意题。综合全文可知，研究表明大象可以根据人类说话的声音来辨别是成年人还是小孩，是男性还是女性以及可能存在的危险，这说明本文主要讲大象能识别人类的声音。故选C。[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。你有没有想过英语语言中最长的单词是什么？信不信由你，这个问题没有简单的答案。许多人提出过很多不同的单词作为英语中最长的单词，但是最终都没有取得一致定论。
8. A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“That's because the first thing that people have different opinions on is what should be considered a ord.”可知，当人们决定最长的单词时，首先要考虑的是“它是不是一个单词”，故选A。
9. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“If you're wondering about some long words in common English，here are some examples. （如果你想知道一些日常英语中的长单词，这里有一些例子）”可知，此处是对上文人们提出的疑问进行回答，即作者提到第三段画线部分句子的目的是展示人们的疑问，故选D。

[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与同学们在老师的带领下把从大草原带回来的植物种子种在当地曾经是一块空地的地方。虽然倍感辛苦，但他们的付出既改变了当地的环境，也让他们出了名。
12. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The producer checked with the directors，but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours.”可知，一开始时，电视台的制片人和导演认为有很多和作者他们相似的故事，所以对他们的花园并不感兴趣。
13. C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants，and then we planted them.”可知，这个花园的种子来自大草原上的植物。根据“We did not water the garden，but we did weed it:."可知，“我们”给花园除草，而不是允许杂草自然蔓延，故A项错误；根据本段最后一句可知，草长得很高，但并未提及草长得很快，故B项错误；根据“We decided to let nature water it with rain."可知，作者和同学们打算让雨水浇灌他们的花园，而非使用地下水，故D项错误。
14. B 代词指代题。由句式结构可知，画线词that作knew的宾语，指代前文所提到的事物。又根据后文 but now we knew that the whole city thought so，too可知，其中的so所指代的内容应与画线词that一致。结合语境可以看出，that和so均指代前文的“All that work，all those blisters，it was worth it.”，即“我们的辛苦是值得的”。
15. C 推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“It was a lot of work but it was all worth it."以及最后一段中的“All that work，all those blisters，it was worth it.”均可以看出作者在辛勤付出之后对于劳动成果的自豪感。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表眀，55%的交流来自肢体语言。短文介绍了一些肢体语言所暗示的信息。
16. E 由空格前“A research has shown that55%of communication comes from body language.（一项研究表明，55%的交流来自肢体语言）”以及空格后“Next time you're in a meeting，watch for these cues（下次你开会时，注意这些暗示）”可知，空格处起承上启下的作用。故E选项“学习如何理解那55%（的肢体语言）可以给你很多帮助”符合句意。故E选项切题。
17. B由“…so the next time you want to know if someone's smile is real look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes.”可知，人们经常用微笑来隐藏他们的真实想法和感受，所以下次你想知道某人的微笑是否真实时，看看他们眼角的皱纹。所以此处要说明如果没有皱纹，微笑说明了什么。故B选项“如果眼角无皱纹，那就说明微笑背后隐藏着一些事情”符合句意。故B选项切题。
18. A 由"Have you ever been in a meeting with someone and noticed that every time you cross or uncross your legs，they do the same？Or perhaps they lean their heads the same way as yours when you're talking？That’s actually a good sign. It means that the conversation is going well and that the other party accepts your message.（你是否曾经和他人开会时注意到，每次你双腿交叉或不交叉时，他们也会这样做？或者当你说话的时候，他们的头和你的头的倾斜方向一样？那其实是个好兆头。它意味着对话进行得很顺利，对方接受了你的信息）”可知，本段主要在说明模仿你的肢体语言是件好事，也就是本段的主题句。故A选项“模仿你的肢体语言是件好事”符合句意。故A选项切题。
19. G 由"If you're talking with someone whose gaze is making you uncomfortable，something is up and they might be lying to you（如果你和眼神让你不舒服的人说话，那就有问题了，他们可能在骗你）”可知，此处要说明在与其他人交流时，是什么样的眼神交流让你感到不舒服。故G选项“问题是，他们中的大多数人会一直保持目光接触，直到感觉不舒服为止”符合句意。故G选项切题。

It is my pleasure to give you some advice. First of all，I believe you can master Chinese some day. As far as I am concerned，it is very beneficial to you to learn from a wide range of Chinese reading materials For example，you can learn Chinese from the Chinese songs you like. Besides，you can see Chinese cartoons or movies. Last but not least，you are welcome to send me e-mails if you have any questions about Chinese learning. I wish you great progress in Chinese language learning.
Yours，
Li Hua
第二节 One possible version：
We had to wait，eagerly hoping for the arrival of the saving boat. The wildly wind blew and the freezing sea water clapped our bodies continuously.30 minutes seemed much longer as we just helplessly floated on the boundless sea. After a long time，a light spot appeared in the distance！We waved our hands and yelled out with the left energy. The boat finally reached us and took all of us back to the shore.
That night，word came from the hospital that the two people were in good condition. Picturing what the merry scene would be，relief lay my heart and happiness etched on my face. The next morning，people all I met smiled to me and could not stop praising me. It seemed like a good opportunity to show off，but I didn't mean to. In fact，I was ashamed I had thought about it. It occurred to me that helping others was priceless and everyone should be a lifeguard.
