参考范文
As we all know, nature is often regarded as our best teacher, so it’s not surprising for us to draw wisdom from it. As long as we carefully observe and study it, we will take inspiration from it. As the picture shows, there are two birds, one sleeping while the other with a worm in its mouth. This presents a well known Chinese idiom: The early bird catches the worm.
The idiom reminds us of the importance of diligence. It is also a metaphor that preparation plays an important role on the road to success. Opportunities are always for those prepared minds, and only when we make full preparations can we make achievements, attaining our goals.

(2022全国甲,B)
Goffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape recognition abilities to a human two year old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical(对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial and error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin’s cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two year old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues(线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.

One possible version:
On a spring morning, I was talking with my parents in the yard when I saw one swallow flying directly towards our house. When it got closer, I saw it carrying mud with its mouth. It was then that I realised it would build a nest under our roof. I noticed that each time it could only carry a little mud, which made me doubt whether it could complete this task. However, it kept carrying mud every day and after three days, a beautiful nest was completed. Having such a neighbour really made my family happy.
From the swallow I learn that we can achieve anything as long as we are determined and persistent though it may seem impossible in the beginning.

②It was then that I realised it would build a nest under our roof.(强调句型)就在那时,我意识到它要在我们的屋檐下筑巢。

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了原产于澳大拉西亚的戈芬氏凤头鹦鹉是技术高超的形状分类专家。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage”和“In a recent experiment...the birds were given five differently shaped ‘keys’...Inserting the correct ‘key’ would let out the nut.”可知,笼中的鸟儿(戈芬氏凤头鹦鹉)被证明能熟练地使用工具,它们在实验中是通过使用工具得到坚果的。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In humans,babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age”可知,一岁左右的婴儿可以把一个圆形的东西放进一个圆形的洞里,故可推知一岁人类最有可能完成的任务是把球放进圆洞内。
3.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections”可知,研究人员下一步的目标是测试凤头鹦鹉在形状的选择中是否也使用触觉。
4.D 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段第一句可知,文章主要说明了戈芬氏凤头鹦鹉具有熟练的形状识别能力。故D项(凤头鹦鹉:熟练的形状归类员)最适合作为本文标题。
