To learn an instrument(乐器) such as the violin or accordion(手风琴)takes years. There are fewer job opportunities and greater competition. Then why are more people than ever before paying a lot of good money to get their children the best music teaching they can afford
The secret lies in the effect of music on the whole person. It has been found that learning a musical instrument actually increases a person’s IQ over time. Different instruments and different types of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string(弦乐) family coming out on top, potentially increasing your IQ by up to 12 points!
When is a good time to start learning music Experts have found that even the fetus(胎儿)can benefit from listening to classical music. Surround yourself and your family with good music from the first. The Suzuki Piano Method teaches children from the age of 3 years piano, with two lessons per week. From preschool, children can learn to read music and play from sheet music. Progress in learning your instrument is directly proportional(成比例的)to the amount of practicing.
Is there such a thing as an unmusical child Shinichi Suzuki says that music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be “unmusical”. Of course there are exceptional talents, compared to which others may seem to be slower learners.
Is there any benefit for adults in starting an instrument Apart from the purely relaxing aspect, yes. Learning an instrument can earn even adults additional IQ points, and as an added benefit in improves your health by reducing your stress levels. Your social life may benefit too, if you are prepared to come out of your box and join occasions such as Ceilidhs (musical get-togethers) or arrange house concerts. It is believed that people who play instruments tend to be more emotionally balanced(平衡) and more patient with themselves, others and life in general.
So go ahead, sign up for that amateur orchestra(业余乐队), dust off your old trombone(长号)or take your first real six-string down from the attic(阁楼); get out there and play!
24．Playing which of the following musical instruments can help increase a person’s IQ most
A．The piano B．The violin
C．The trombone D．The accordion
25．What does Shinichi Suzuki agree with
A．The progress in learning an instrument depends on natural gifts
B．It is too late for an adult to start an instrument
C．Every child has a natural talent for music.
D．All people can understand and read music.
26．What can be inferred from the text
A．Music can balance our life.
B．Music can improve our living conditions.
C．Playing instruments can make adults keep their IQ points.
D．Playing instruments can help us get along well with others.
27．By writing the text, the author mainly wants to .
A．persuade us to send our children to music schools
B．express his great interest in musical instruments
C．tell us the importance of Music in Development
D．invite us to attend Ceilidhs
C
Ecotourism has become increasingly popular in recent years.Travelers visit natural environments funding conservation efforts or promoting local economies.In many cases, ecotourism involves close interaction with wildlife.
Now, scientists have analyzed more than 100 research studies on how ecotourism affects wild animals.They find the presence of humans changes the way animals behave, and those changes may put them at risk.Therefore, they have concluded that such trips can be harmful to the animals.
When animals interact in seemingly kind ways with humans, they may let down their guard.As animals learn to relax in the presence of humans, they may become bolder in other situations.If this transfers to their interactions with predators (捕食者), they are more likely to be injured or killed.
The presence of humans can also discourage natural predators.It creates a kind of safe place for smaller animals that may make them bolder.For example, in Grand Teton National Park, elk and pronghorns in areas with more tourists are less watchful and spend more time eating.
Interacting with people can cause great changes in the characteristics of various species over time.“If animals become accustomed to tourists, we might create unintended consequences — affecting the behavior or population of a species and influencing the species’ function in its community,” the researchers write.
Ecotourism has effects similar to those of animal domestication (驯养) and urbanization.Research has shown that domesticated silver foxes become more obedient and less fearful.Fox squirrels and birds that live in urbanized areas are slower to flee from danger.The phenomena result from evolutionary changes, but also from regular interactions with humans.
Scientists hope the new analysis will encourage more research into the interactions between people and wildlife.It is essential to develop further understanding of how various species in various situations respond to human interaction and under what conditions human exposure may place them at risk.
28．We can learn from the passage that ___________.
A．ecotourism causes damage to the natural homes of wildlife
B．it is easy for eco-tourists to build up trust with wild animals
C．the effects brought by ecotourism may be harmful to the animals
D．wildlife interactions with humans strengthen their function in community
29．What does the underlined word “bolder” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．shyer B．braver C．wiser D．swifter
30．The author mentions pronghorns in paragraph 4 as an example to show that ________.
A．wild animals become more relaxed due to evolution
B．animals’ reactions to humans vary from species to species
C．smaller animals tend to be in harmony with natural predators
D．the presence of humans reduces their awareness of potential danger
31．What might be the best title for the text
A．Ecotourism Can Put Wild Animals at Risk
B．Ecotourism Has Become A Popular Trend
C．Wildlife’s Reactions to Human Activities
D．Latest Research Findings on Ecotourism
D
Researchers in Singapore have developed an electronic material that helps robots sense and touch nearby objects.
The material is a kind of foam: a solid substance that is filled with air and is soft. And the foam has another useful quality. It repairs itself when damaged, much like human skin. The material is called AiFoam, which is short for artificially innervated foam. To innervate means to supply with nerves. In robots, AiFoam would gather information from nearby and send it to a computer controlling the robot. AiFoam is a stretchy polymer (聚合物) combined with a mixture that lowers surface tension. This means that if you cut the material, it can return easily into one piece.
To copy the human sense of touch, the researchers mixed microscopic pieces of metal into the material. Then they added very small electrical connections beneath the surface of the foam.
Benjamin Tee, a lead researcher on the new material at the National University of Singapore, said that when there is pressure on the material, the metal particles (颗粒) get closer. The movement changes their electrical properties. The electrical connections sense these changes and send information about them to a computer, which then tells the robot what to do.
“When I move my finger near the sensor, you can see the sensor is measuring the changes of my electrical field and responds accordingly to my touch,” he said. The robotic hand senses not only the amount but also the direction of the force placed on it. That could make robots more intelligent and responsive.
Tee said AiFoam is the first material of its kind to combine self-repairing properties with nearness and pressure sensing. After spending over two years developing it, Tee and his team hope the material can be put to use within five years.
32．What is one feature of AiFoam
A．It is made out of air. B．It is a low-cost material.
C．It has self-repairing ability. D．It can replace human skin.
33．How does the author develop paragraph 2
A．By giving instructions. B．By listing examples.
C．By making comparisons. D．By offering explanations.
34．Which of the following gives orders to the robot
A．Benjamin Tee. B．The researcher.
C．The sensor. D．The computer.
35．What can we learn about AiFoam from the last two paragraphs
A．It can measure the shape of your finger.
B．It can change the direction of the force.
C．It will come onto the market in the near future.
D．It makes robots more sensitive than human beings.

第二节 读后续写(满分 25分)
67．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。
Bruce had a sweet tooth during his childhood, but it was not just sugary snacks that he desired. Being raised in a poor family was a bittersweet experience, but it gave him adaptability and ambition.
When Bruce was young, his mother would tell him that the candies in the store’s checkout line belonged to the cashier. She said that because she could not afford a 50-cent chocolate bar. Nevertheless, he saw through her trick and made a promise that he would grow up to be wealthy enough to buy what his family needed.
Bruce’s father worked hard to make money outside, so he spent less time at home. Instead of focusing on their economic instability, Bruce’s mother selflessly pushed her children to strive for success so that they could lead a more comfortable life later. She worked for long hours every night and struggled to pay the minimum due on her bills. Still, she would find time to read with Bruce and his sister, Alice. Their mother taught them the value of perseverance, education, and moral fibre. Despite lack of their father’s company, they were loved and nurtured just as much.
However, not all of life’s milestones were easy. Some, like moving and being helpless, left Bruce with an endless bitter taste. He had to deal with many problems when they moved into Maryland, several states away from their roots in Georgia, to make a living. The first few months were great: baseball games, family trips to the mall, dinners, movies, etc. It felt like they were the perfect family. Then things changed. Baseball games were too expensive, and trips to the mall were replaced with days Bruce and Alice spent isolated in the study.
As the brother and sister grew up, money was even tighter. They spent many years living in a very poor family setting. Even so, their mother inspired them to keep trying and working academically. They even cooperated with each other and developed a computer system. Alice was joking about patenting it someday. But as the saying goes, “Good things never come easy”, and success requires setbacks.
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。
One day, Bruce’s mother opened their study door and told them to pack.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They eventually settled in Texas, and Bruce and Alice continued their academic efforts.

29．词句猜测题。划线词前文提到“When animals interact in seemingly kind ways with humans, they may let down their guard”，后文提到“If this transfers to their interactions with predators (捕食者), they are more likely to be injured or killed”，当动物以看似友好的方式与人类互动时，它们可能在人类面前会放松警惕，这样导致如果有捕猎者的情况下，动物也会放松警惕，对捕猎者没有惧怕心理，导致他们受伤或死亡。所以在其他情况下，他们可能会变得更加大胆。因此可以猜测，bolder意思为“更大胆的，更不惧怕的”。故选B。
30．
推理判断题。文章第四段中提到“The presence of humans can also discourage natural predators. It creates a kind of safe place for smaller animals that may make them bolder.（人类的存在也能阻止天敌的入侵。它为较小的动物创造了一种安全的地方，这可能会使它们更加大胆。）” 下文提到在游客很多的地方，叉角羚不那么警惕，而是花更多的时间吃东西。作者举这个例子是为了说明人类的存在使小动物们放松警惕，降低了他们对潜在危险的意识。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第二段提出“and those changes may put them at risk…such trips can be harmful to the animals.”与人类的存在会改变动物的行为方式，使他们处于危险中……生态旅游对动物有害；第三段提出“When animals interact in seemingly kind ways with humans, they may let down their guard.”与人类互动会让动物放松警惕；第四段提出“ The presence of humans can also discourage natural predators.”人类的存在能阻止天敌，让动物更加大胆；第五段提出“Interacting with people can cause great changes in the characteristics of various species over time.” 与人互动会导致不同物种的特征发生巨大变化。由此可知，文章是关于生态旅游对野生动物带来的害处。标题应该为“生态旅游会把野生动物置于危险之中”。故选A。
32．C 33．D 34．D 35．C
32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“It repairs itself when damaged, much like human skin. The material is called AiFoam, which is short for artificially innervated foam.(它在受损时可以自我修复，就像人类的皮肤一样。这种材料被称为AiFoam，是人工神经泡沫的缩写)”可知，AiFoam的一个特点是它有自我修复的能力。故选C项。
33．推理判断题。第二段中“The material is called AiFoam, which is short for artificially innervated foam. To innervate means to supply with nerves. In robots, AiFoam would gather information from nearby and send it to a computer controlling the robot. AiFoam is a stretchy polymer (聚合物) combined with a mixture that lowers surface tension. This means that if you cut the material, it can return easily into one piece.(这种材料被称为AiFoam，是人工神经泡沫的缩写。神经支配的意思是供给神经。在机器人中，AiFoam会从附近收集信息并将其发送给控制机器人的计算机。AiFoam是一种具有弹性的聚合物，结合了一种降低表面张力的混合物。这意味着，如果你切割材料，它可以很容易地恢复成一块)”中通过解释的方式说明了AiFoam是什么。故选D项。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The electrical connections sense these changes and send information about them to a computer, which then tells the robot what to do.(电子连接感应到这些变化，并将相关信息发送给计算机，然后计算机告诉机器人该怎么做)”可知，计算机向机器人下命令。故选D项。
35．推理判断题。根据最一段中“After spending over two years developing it, Tee and his team hope the material can be put to use within five years.(经过两年多的研发，Tee和他的团队希望这种材料能在五年内投入使用)”可推知，AiFoam将在不久的将来上市。故选C项。
36．G 37．D 38．E 39．B 40．F
36．根据上文“You’re eager to leave the office on a Friday afternoon, but you are running close to an important deadline. Instead of blaming everything not going your way, take a moment to laugh.(你迫不及待地想在周五下午离开办公室，但你正赶着一个重要的截止日期。与其抱怨一切不顺，不如花点时间笑一笑)”以及后文“Because they laugh no matter how life is going down, especially on a busy day.(因为无论生活如何低落，他们都会笑，尤其是在忙碌的一天)”可知，本句主要是在说明后文提到的they是谁，故G选项“你有没有想过为什么《老友记》看起来很有趣”符合语境，故选G。
37．根据后文“Try not to think about the negative past experiences and hug the time you have now. You will soon find that even the slightest thing that you do at this moment can bring about happiness for many hours and days to come.(试着不要去想过去的负面经历，拥抱你现在拥有的时间。你很快就会发现，即使你此刻所做的最微不足道的事情，也会给你带来数小时乃至数天的快乐)”可知，后文提到“拥抱你现在拥有的时间”，即强调活在当下，专注当下。故D选项“每天花点时间关注当下”符合语境，故选D。
38．根据上文“Exercise can help avoid some symptoms of stress and depression. Feeding your body with whole and nutritious foods, on the other hand, can positively affect your body.(运动可以帮助避免一些压力和抑郁的症状。另一方面，用营养丰富的食物喂养你的身体，可以对你的身体产生积极的影响)”可知，本段主要建议进行运动和锻炼，E选项中workout对应上文Exercise。故E选项“找时间安排锻炼，即使只有30分钟”符合语境，故选E。
39．根据后文“learn how to accept it and the constructive criticism that comes along with it(学会如何接受批评以及随之而来的建设性批评)”可知，后文提到了接受批评，说明本句是在说明犯了错误的情况，故B选项“如果你犯了错误”符合语境，故选B。
40．根据标题“End each day with gratitude.(以感恩结束每一天)”以及上文“Just before you go to bed, write clown at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a child’s laugh or something as huge as a million dollar deal.(就在你上床睡觉之前，写下至少一件发生过的美好的事情。它可能小到一个孩子的笑声，也可能大到一笔百万美元的交易)”可知，本段主要建议要学会感恩。故F选项“无论它是什么，都要感激它，因为它永远不会再来”符合语境，故选F。
41．A 42．C 43．D 44．B 45．A 46．B 47．D 48．B 49．D 50．C 51．A 52．A 53．B 54．C 55．D

66．Dear Carl,
How is everything going Our school held a music festival themed “Music Star” last week. To my delight, I won the first prize in singing at the music festival.
The song I chose to sing was My Motherland and Me. Because it enjoys wide popularity, there’s no doubt that it attracted the audience’s attention when I started to sing. I fell in love with the song the first time I heard it. It makes me feel greatly proud of being a Chinese and gives me courage and love.
What do you think of the song I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
67．One day, Bruce’s mother opened their study door and told them to pack. They were leaving and not coming back. At that time, Bruce heard Alice sobbing in the study. After loading their belongings into the car, they began to drive along to the next place for a living. Bruce looked out of the window with tears running down his cheeks, watching the people coming and going. Their careers were taking off, but they were leaving again. Actually, life kept them on the move. Their parents felt very guilty for not giving their children a stable home.
They eventually settled in Texas, and Bruce and Alice continued their academic efforts. With the encouragement of their mother, they remained dedicated to their wise pursuits and treasured opportunities to satisfy their hunger for knowledge. Finally, their cause was a success. When Bruce faced some dark chocolate close at hand, his mind kept turning in an endless loop. He said to Alice, “Tough circumstances have allowed us to have more life and learning experiences and made us who we are. Success, like candy, could be the sweetest treat of all.” Alice nodded, and she also felt it the greatest joy to help any poor kid with a sweet tooth to gain their favorite candy.

To learn an instrument(乐器) such as the violin or accordion(手风琴)takes years. There are fewer job opportunities and greater competition. Then why are more people than ever before paying a lot of good money to get their children the best music teaching they can afford
The secret lies in the effect of music on the whole person. It has been found that learning a musical instrument actually increases a person’s IQ over time. Different instruments and different types of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string(弦乐) family coming out on top, potentially increasing your IQ by up to 12 points!
When is a good time to start learning music Experts have found that even the fetus(胎儿)can benefit from listening to classical music. Surround yourself and your family with good music from the first. The Suzuki Piano Method teaches children from the age of 3 years piano, with two lessons per week. From preschool, children can learn to read music and play from sheet music. Progress in learning your instrument is directly proportional(成比例的)to the amount of practicing.
Is there such a thing as an unmusical child Shinichi Suzuki says that music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be “unmusical”. Of course there are exceptional talents, compared to which others may seem to be slower learners.
Is there any benefit for adults in starting an instrument Apart from the purely relaxing aspect, yes. Learning an instrument can earn even adults additional IQ points, and as an added benefit in improves your health by reducing your stress levels. Your social life may benefit too, if you are prepared to come out of your box and join occasions such as Ceilidhs (musical get-togethers) or arrange house concerts. It is believed that people who play instruments tend to be more emotionally balanced(平衡) and more patient with themselves, others and life in general.
So go ahead, sign up for that amateur orchestra(业余乐队), dust off your old trombone(长号)or take your first real six-string down from the attic(阁楼); get out there and play!
24．Playing which of the following musical instruments can help increase a person’s IQ most
A．The piano B．The violin
C．The trombone D．The accordion
25．What does Shinichi Suzuki agree with
A．The progress in learning an instrument depends on natural gifts
B．It is too late for an adult to start an instrument
C．Every child has a natural talent for music.
D．All people can understand and read music.
26．What can be inferred from the text
A．Music can balance our life.
B．Music can improve our living conditions.
C．Playing instruments can make adults keep their IQ points.
D．Playing instruments can help us get along well with others.
27．By writing the text, the author mainly wants to .
A．persuade us to send our children to music schools
B．express his great interest in musical instruments
C．tell us the importance of Music in Development
D．invite us to attend Ceilidhs
C
Ecotourism has become increasingly popular in recent years.Travelers visit natural environments funding conservation efforts or promoting local economies.In many cases, ecotourism involves close interaction with wildlife.
Now, scientists have analyzed more than 100 research studies on how ecotourism affects wild animals.They find the presence of humans changes the way animals behave, and those changes may put them at risk.Therefore, they have concluded that such trips can be harmful to the animals.
When animals interact in seemingly kind ways with humans, they may let down their guard.As animals learn to relax in the presence of humans, they may become bolder in other situations.If this transfers to their interactions with predators (捕食者), they are more likely to be injured or killed.
The presence of humans can also discourage natural predators.It creates a kind of safe place for smaller animals that may make them bolder.For example, in Grand Teton National Park, elk and pronghorns in areas with more tourists are less watchful and spend more time eating.
Interacting with people can cause great changes in the characteristics of various species over time.“If animals become accustomed to tourists, we might create unintended consequences — affecting the behavior or population of a species and influencing the species’ function in its community,” the researchers write.
Ecotourism has effects similar to those of animal domestication (驯养) and urbanization.Research has shown that domesticated silver foxes become more obedient and less fearful.Fox squirrels and birds that live in urbanized areas are slower to flee from danger.The phenomena result from evolutionary changes, but also from regular interactions with humans.
Scientists hope the new analysis will encourage more research into the interactions between people and wildlife.It is essential to develop further understanding of how various species in various situations respond to human interaction and under what conditions human exposure may place them at risk.
28．We can learn from the passage that ___________.
A．ecotourism causes damage to the natural homes of wildlife
B．it is easy for eco-tourists to build up trust with wild animals
C．the effects brought by ecotourism may be harmful to the animals
D．wildlife interactions with humans strengthen their function in community
29．What does the underlined word “bolder” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．shyer B．braver C．wiser D．swifter
30．The author mentions pronghorns in paragraph 4 as an example to show that ________.
A．wild animals become more relaxed due to evolution
B．animals’ reactions to humans vary from species to species
C．smaller animals tend to be in harmony with natural predators
D．the presence of humans reduces their awareness of potential danger
31．What might be the best title for the text
A．Ecotourism Can Put Wild Animals at Risk
B．Ecotourism Has Become A Popular Trend
C．Wildlife’s Reactions to Human Activities
D．Latest Research Findings on Ecotourism
D
Researchers in Singapore have developed an electronic material that helps robots sense and touch nearby objects.
The material is a kind of foam: a solid substance that is filled with air and is soft. And the foam has another useful quality. It repairs itself when damaged, much like human skin. The material is called AiFoam, which is short for artificially innervated foam. To innervate means to supply with nerves. In robots, AiFoam would gather information from nearby and send it to a computer controlling the robot. AiFoam is a stretchy polymer (聚合物) combined with a mixture that lowers surface tension. This means that if you cut the material, it can return easily into one piece.
To copy the human sense of touch, the researchers mixed microscopic pieces of metal into the material. Then they added very small electrical connections beneath the surface of the foam.
Benjamin Tee, a lead researcher on the new material at the National University of Singapore, said that when there is pressure on the material, the metal particles (颗粒) get closer. The movement changes their electrical properties. The electrical connections sense these changes and send information about them to a computer, which then tells the robot what to do.
“When I move my finger near the sensor, you can see the sensor is measuring the changes of my electrical field and responds accordingly to my touch,” he said. The robotic hand senses not only the amount but also the direction of the force placed on it. That could make robots more intelligent and responsive.
Tee said AiFoam is the first material of its kind to combine self-repairing properties with nearness and pressure sensing. After spending over two years developing it, Tee and his team hope the material can be put to use within five years.
32．What is one feature of AiFoam
A．It is made out of air. B．It is a low-cost material.
C．It has self-repairing ability. D．It can replace human skin.
33．How does the author develop paragraph 2
A．By giving instructions. B．By listing examples.
C．By making comparisons. D．By offering explanations.
34．Which of the following gives orders to the robot
A．Benjamin Tee. B．The researcher.
C．The sensor. D．The computer.
35．What can we learn about AiFoam from the last two paragraphs
A．It can measure the shape of your finger.
B．It can change the direction of the force.
C．It will come onto the market in the near future.
D．It makes robots more sensitive than human beings.

These were just a small part of the 51 of heroism that came out of Katy. But Mashhood, like many others of his fellow Texan heroes, 52 he didn’t do anything special.

第二节 读后续写(满分 25分)
67．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。
Bruce had a sweet tooth during his childhood, but it was not just sugary snacks that he desired. Being raised in a poor family was a bittersweet experience, but it gave him adaptability and ambition.
When Bruce was young, his mother would tell him that the candies in the store’s checkout line belonged to the cashier. She said that because she could not afford a 50-cent chocolate bar. Nevertheless, he saw through her trick and made a promise that he would grow up to be wealthy enough to buy what his family needed.
Bruce’s father worked hard to make money outside, so he spent less time at home. Instead of focusing on their economic instability, Bruce’s mother selflessly pushed her children to strive for success so that they could lead a more comfortable life later. She worked for long hours every night and struggled to pay the minimum due on her bills. Still, she would find time to read with Bruce and his sister, Alice. Their mother taught them the value of perseverance, education, and moral fibre. Despite lack of their father’s company, they were loved and nurtured just as much.
However, not all of life’s milestones were easy. Some, like moving and being helpless, left Bruce with an endless bitter taste. He had to deal with many problems when they moved into Maryland, several states away from their roots in Georgia, to make a living. The first few months were great: baseball games, family trips to the mall, dinners, movies, etc. It felt like they were the perfect family. Then things changed. Baseball games were too expensive, and trips to the mall were replaced with days Bruce and Alice spent isolated in the study.
As the brother and sister grew up, money was even tighter. They spent many years living in a very poor family setting. Even so, their mother inspired them to keep trying and working academically. They even cooperated with each other and developed a computer system. Alice was joking about patenting it someday. But as the saying goes, “Good things never come easy”, and success requires setbacks.
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。
One day, Bruce’s mother opened their study door and told them to pack.

23．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For information about directions parking, transport, and aces, please call us at 44 (0)23 8059 5000 or visit southampton.ac.uk.(有关方向停车，交通和aces，请致电44(0)23 8059 5000或访问southampton.ac.uk)”可知，你可以去southampton.ac.uk查询在哪里停车。故选D。
24．B 25．C 26．D 27．C
24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Different instruments and different trypes of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string（弦乐） family coming out on top, potentially increasing your IQ by up to 12 points!（不同的乐器和不同的音乐尝试有着不同的效果，古典音乐和弦乐家族占据了上风，有可能使你的智商提高12点！）”可知，古典乐器或者弦乐器提高智商最高。故选B项。
25．细节理解题。根据第四段“Is there such a thing as an unmusical child Shinichi Suzuki says that music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be “unmusical”.（真的有不懂音乐的孩子吗？Shinichi Suzuki说，音乐是所有人的母语，因此没有人能够“不具备音乐性”）可知，” Shinichi Suzuki认为，每个孩子都有天生的音乐天赋。故选C项。
26．推理判断题。根据第五段“Your social life may benefit too, if you are prepared to come out of your box and join occasions such as Ceilidhs (musical get-togethers) or arrange house concerts.（如果你准备走出你的框框，加入一些场合，如同乐会(或安排家庭音乐会），你的社交生活也可能受益）”可推知，学习乐器可以让我们和别人相处的更好。故选D项。

28．C 29．B 30．D 31．A
28．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“They find the presence of humans changes the way animals behave, and those changes may put them at risk. Therefore, they have concluded that such trips can be harmful to the animals.（他们发现人类的存在改变了动物的行为方式，而这些变化可能会使它们处于危险之中。因此，他们得出结论，生态旅游可能对动物有害。）”可知，生态旅游带来的影响可能对动物有害。故选C。
29．词句猜测题。划线词前文提到“When animals interact in seemingly kind ways with humans, they may let down their guard”，后文提到“If this transfers to their interactions with predators (捕食者), they are more likely to be injured or killed”，当动物以看似友好的方式与人类互动时，它们可能在人类面前会放松警惕，这样导致如果有捕猎者的情况下，动物也会放松警惕，对捕猎者没有惧怕心理，导致他们受伤或死亡。所以在其他情况下，他们可能会变得更加大胆。因此可以猜测，bolder意思为“更大胆的，更不惧怕的”。故选B。
30．
推理判断题。文章第四段中提到“The presence of humans can also discourage natural predators. It creates a kind of safe place for smaller animals that may make them bolder.（人类的存在也能阻止天敌的入侵。它为较小的动物创造了一种安全的地方，这可能会使它们更加大胆。）” 下文提到在游客很多的地方，叉角羚不那么警惕，而是花更多的时间吃东西。作者举这个例子是为了说明人类的存在使小动物们放松警惕，降低了他们对潜在危险的意识。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第二段提出“and those changes may put them at risk…such trips can be harmful to the animals.”与人类的存在会改变动物的行为方式，使他们处于危险中……生态旅游对动物有害；第三段提出“When animals interact in seemingly kind ways with humans, they may let down their guard.”与人类互动会让动物放松警惕；第四段提出“ The presence of humans can also discourage natural predators.”人类的存在能阻止天敌，让动物更加大胆；第五段提出“Interacting with people can cause great changes in the characteristics of various species over time.” 与人互动会导致不同物种的特征发生巨大变化。由此可知，文章是关于生态旅游对野生动物带来的害处。标题应该为“生态旅游会把野生动物置于危险之中”。故选A。

32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“It repairs itself when damaged, much like human skin. The material is called AiFoam, which is short for artificially innervated foam.(它在受损时可以自我修复，就像人类的皮肤一样。这种材料被称为AiFoam，是人工神经泡沫的缩写)”可知，AiFoam的一个特点是它有自我修复的能力。故选C项。
33．推理判断题。第二段中“The material is called AiFoam, which is short for artificially innervated foam. To innervate means to supply with nerves. In robots, AiFoam would gather information from nearby and send it to a computer controlling the robot. AiFoam is a stretchy polymer (聚合物) combined with a mixture that lowers surface tension. This means that if you cut the material, it can return easily into one piece.(这种材料被称为AiFoam，是人工神经泡沫的缩写。神经支配的意思是供给神经。在机器人中，AiFoam会从附近收集信息并将其发送给控制机器人的计算机。AiFoam是一种具有弹性的聚合物，结合了一种降低表面张力的混合物。这意味着，如果你切割材料，它可以很容易地恢复成一块)”中通过解释的方式说明了AiFoam是什么。故选D项。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The electrical connections sense these changes and send information about them to a computer, which then tells the robot what to do.(电子连接感应到这些变化，并将相关信息发送给计算机，然后计算机告诉机器人该怎么做)”可知，计算机向机器人下命令。故选D项。
35．推理判断题。根据最一段中“After spending over two years developing it, Tee and his team hope the material can be put to use within five years.(经过两年多的研发，Tee和他的团队希望这种材料能在五年内投入使用)”可推知，AiFoam将在不久的将来上市。故选C项。

36．根据上文“You’re eager to leave the office on a Friday afternoon, but you are running close to an important deadline. Instead of blaming everything not going your way, take a moment to laugh.(你迫不及待地想在周五下午离开办公室，但你正赶着一个重要的截止日期。与其抱怨一切不顺，不如花点时间笑一笑)”以及后文“Because they laugh no matter how life is going down, especially on a busy day.(因为无论生活如何低落，他们都会笑，尤其是在忙碌的一天)”可知，本句主要是在说明后文提到的they是谁，故G选项“你有没有想过为什么《老友记》看起来很有趣”符合语境，故选G。

You will soon find that even the slightest thing that you do at this moment can bring about happiness for many hours and days to come.(试着不要去想过去的负面经历，拥抱你现在拥有的时间。你很快就会发现，即使你此刻所做的最微不足道的事情，也会给你带来数小时乃至数天的快乐)”可知，后文提到“拥抱你现在拥有的时间”，即强调活在当下，专注当下。故D选项“每天花点时间关注当下”符合语境，故选D。

41．A 42．C 43．D 44．B 45．A 46．B 47．D 48．B 49．D 50．C 51．A 52．A 53．B 54．C 55．D

How is everything going Our school held a music festival themed “Music Star” last week. To my delight, I won the first prize in singing at the music festival.
The song I chose to sing was My Motherland and Me. Because it enjoys wide popularity, there’s no doubt that it attracted the audience’s attention when I started to sing. I fell in love with the song the first time I heard it. It makes me feel greatly proud of being a Chinese and gives me courage and love.
What do you think of the song I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
67．One day, Bruce’s mother opened their study door and told them to pack. They were leaving and not coming back. At that time, Bruce heard Alice sobbing in the study. After loading their belongings into the car, they began to drive along to the next place for a living. Bruce looked out of the window with tears running down his cheeks, watching the people coming and going. Their careers were taking off, but they were leaving again.

With the encouragement of their mother, they remained dedicated to their wise pursuits and treasured opportunities to satisfy their hunger for knowledge. Finally, their cause was a success.

Success, like candy, could be the sweetest treat of all.” Alice nodded, and she also felt it the greatest joy to help any poor kid with a sweet tooth to gain their favorite candy.
