In the third grade, ten-year-old Jane read a book about poaching (偷猎) the endangered tigers and cutting down forests at will. She told her friend Holt about it and she really wanted to help save the tigers.
Despite being in elementary school, the two girls have organized fundraisers(资金筹集).During their first year, the girls raised $1,500 to save tigers. “We went to a zoo and asked if we could help and it became this huge fun thing. We never expected it to get so big,” the girls said.
When Jane and Holt pitched their ideas in the zoo to ask for funds, their table was packed with zoo guests all afternoon. This year’s goal is $2,500. Whatever they raise will be matched by the Zoological Society and all be donated(捐赠) to the Tiger Protection Fund.
On top of helping the animal, the girls would also be excited about their names to be proudly posted at the zoo’s entrance on a sign with other donors. “If we get our names on it, it’s going to feel like being famous, and it’s going to be like a dream come true for us,” Jane said. They said they were close to their goal and the zoo couldn’t be happier.
“Their awareness of what’s happening to tigers and their wanting to educate people on what’s happening to tigers are unbelievable,” Kassner, an animal expert, said. “Three kinds of tigers have already died out and the remaining six are all endangered. The ‘Tiger Girls’ are bringing a big and positive effect and won’t be stopping anytime soon.”
“I’m so happy that we’ve come this far. We can do this now though we’re only fifth graders and just imagine what we can do in the future,” Holt said.

The ‘Tiger Girls’ are bringing a big and positive effect and won’t be stopping anytime soon.””（动物专家卡斯纳说：“她们意识到老虎正在发生什么，她们想要教育人们老虎正在发生什么，这令人难以置信。”“三种老虎已经灭绝，剩下的六种都濒临灭绝。‘虎女孩’正在带来巨大而积极的影响，而且短期内不会停止。”）可推知，卡斯纳认为这两个女孩带来了很大的改变。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Despite being in elementary school, the two girls have organized fundraisers(资金筹集).During their first year, the girls raised $1,500 to save tigers. “We went to a zoo and asked if we could help and it became this huge fun thing.”（尽管还在上小学，这两个女孩已经组织了募捐活动。在第一年，女孩们为拯救老虎筹集了1500美元。“我们去了动物园，问能不能帮忙，这变成了一件非常有趣的事情。）以及第四段“On top of helping the animal, the girls would also be excited about their names to be proudly posted at the zoo’s entrance on a sign with other donors. “If we get our names on it, it’s going to feel like being famous, and it’s going to be like a dream come true for us,” Jane said.”（除了帮助这只动物，女孩们也会为自己的名字和其他捐赠者一起自豪地贴在动物园门口的牌子上而感到兴奋。简说：“如果我们把自己的名字印在上面，那感觉就像出名了，对我们来说就像梦想成真了。”）和最后一段““I’m so happy that we’ve come this far. We can do this now though we’re only fifth graders and just imagine what we can do in the future,” Holt said.”（“我很高兴我们走了这么远。虽然我们现在只是五年级学生，但我们可以做到这一点，想象一下我们将来可以做什么。”霍尔特说。）可推知，这两个女孩是有创造力的，且十分自信的。故选B项。

It’s often said that we human beings can dream in a foreign language. Could dreaming in a foreign language improve our memory Does dreaming in a foreign language mean we are making progress in learning that language
Before we look at multilingual (多语言) dreams, first we need to look at sleep. The connection between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language, including our native language. Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language. But, if we are going to remember that new word better, what matters is that we need to connect it with what we have learned. And in order to do that, we “need to have some sleep”, says Gareth Gaskell, a professor at the University of York.
It’s during sleep that the integration (整合) of old and new knowledge happens. At might, one part of our brain — the hippocampus — takes whatever new information it receives during the day and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored. The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied, but “it’s entirely possible that during multilingual dreams, the brain is trying to connect the two languages”, says Marc, a researcher at a university in Bern, Switzerland.
So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to remember a new word or phrase. However, it could also have an emotional (情感) significance. Danuta, a professor of psycholinguistics at the University of Silesia in Poland, suggests that multilingual dreams can express “fears or wishes” around learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a local speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.
We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams, but one thing seems certain: if you’re trying to learn a new language, you can sleep on it.
8. Why does the author mention questions in paragraph 1
A. To compare different ideas. B. To introduce the main topic.
C. To present different types of dreams. D. To discuss the human language ability.
9. What is the key element in memorizing a new word according to the text
A. The other new words. B. The native language.
C. The gained knowledge. D. The speaking practice.
10. What can we learn about multilingual dreams
A. They may influence people’s sleep quality. B. They can reflect language-learning feelings.
C. They are the best option to learn a language. D. They help to clear up the useless information.
11. Where is the text most likely from
A. A novel. B. A diary. C. A guidebook. D. A magazine.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了睡眠和语言之间的联系可以应用于如何学习任何语言，包括我们的母语。多语梦境中，大脑试图将两种语言联系起来，这有助于学习一门新的语言。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Could dreaming in a foreign language improve our memory Does dreaming in a foreign language mean we are making progress in learning that language (用外语做梦能提高我们记忆力吗？梦见一门外语是否意味着我们在学习这门语言方面取得了进步？)”和第二段“The connection between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language, including our native language. (睡眠和语言之间的联系可以应用于我们如何学习任何语言，包括我们的母语。)”以及下文的内容可知，作者在第一段提出问题是为了介绍主题：睡眠和语言之间的联系可以应用于如何学习任何语言。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But, if we are going to remember that new word better, what matters is that we need to connect it with what we have learned.(但是，如果我们要更好地记住新词，重要的是我们需要把它和我们学过的东西联系起来)”和第三段“At might, one part of our brain — the hippocampus — takes whatever new information it receives during the day and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored. (或许，我们大脑的一部分———海马体———接受白天接收到的任何新信息，并将其传递给大脑的其他部分进行存储。)”可知，根据文章记忆新单词的关键要素是已经获得的知识，把新单词和所学过的东西联系起来就能计得更好。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Danuta, a professor of psycholinguistics at the University of Silesia in Poland, suggests that multilingual dreams can express “fears or wishes” around learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a local speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.(波兰西里西亚大学心理语言学教授达努塔认为，多语言梦可以表达围绕学习外语的‘恐惧或愿望’，包括希望成为本地人或被某个社区接受)”可知，关于多语梦，我们能了解到它们能反映语言学习的感受。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。本文主要介绍了睡眠和语言之间的联系可以应用于如何学习任何语言，包括我们的母语。多语梦境中，大脑试图将两种语言联系起来，这有助于学习一门新的语言。根据倒数第二段讲到“Danuta, a professor of psycholinguistics at the University of Silesia in Poland, suggests that multilingual dreams can express “fears or wishes” around learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a local speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.(波兰西里西亚大学心理语言学教授达努塔认为，多语言梦可以表达围绕学习外语的‘恐惧或愿望’，包括希望成为本地人或被某个社区接受)”可知，本文是一篇有关于多语种梦境和语言学习之间的关系的文章，因此这篇文章最有可能来自一本杂志。故选D。
D
People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new solution called Seatrac, which allows people in wheelchairs to get into the water on their own.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving walkway that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water; or go for a swim. The chair can be controlled from a long distance. When the person is ready to get out of the water, the Seatrac system (系统) brings the chair back to the top of the walkway.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend expressed his enjoyment of the sea but disliked being carried into the ocean like “a bag of potatoes”. Fotiou realized there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. He worked with his partners to design the system, finally forming a company called TOBEA to build and sell the system.
TOBEA works on making the system simple to put in place and easy to control. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach Seatrac. The system is solar-powered (太阳能) and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can be easily packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.
Greece has decided to open 287 beaches for people with disabilities. 140 beaches have set up the system and the remaining 147 will build the system in the future. The new Seatrac service is being provided for free to help attract more tourists to the country. TOBEA will offer a website showing where beaches with the special service can be found. Thanks to Seatrac, more and more people who use wheelchairs will have the chance to cool down with a swim in the sea.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. Why Seatrac is well received. B. How Seatrac works.
C. Why Seatrac needs hand control. D. How Seatrac is developed.
13. What can we know about the Seatrac system
A. It’s expensive to use. B. It can be used all year round.
C. It’s environmentally friendly. D. It requires a large storage space.
14. What do the numbers in the last paragraph show
A. The new service is promising. B. The system is highly praised by the old.
C. The government has made much money. D. The practice is being copied around the world.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Fotiou: An Inventor Helping the Disabled
B. Seatrac: Helping Wheelchair Users Enjoy the Sea.
C. TOBEA Is a Famous Factory Producing Wheelchairs
D. Greece Has Built Moving Walkways for the Disabled
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项新发明Seatrac系统，可以帮助轮椅使用者享受大海。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段前四句话“Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving walkway that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water; or go for a swim. The chair can be controlled from a long distance. (Seatrac基本上是一把位于移动走道上的椅子，可以顺利地将残疾人带入大海。一旦进入大海，人要么呆在椅子上，享受水；或者去游泳。这把椅子可以远距离控制)”可知，第二段主要介绍了Seatrac系统是如何工作的。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第三句话“TOBEA works on making the system simple to put in place and easy to control. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach Seatrac. The system is solar-powered (太阳能) and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can be easily packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.(TOBEA致力于使系统易于安装和控制。一条木制走道可以让轮椅使用者到达Seatrac。该系统由太阳能供电，即使停电也能继续运行。Seatrac系统可以在游泳季节结束时轻松打包和储存)”可知，Seatrac有太阳能供电，即使停电也能继续运行。由此可推知，该系统是环保的。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句话“Greece has decided to open 287 beaches for people with disabilities. 140 beaches have set up the system and the remaining 147 will build the system in the future. (希腊决定为残疾人开放287个海滩。140个海滩已经建立了该系统，其余147个海滩将在未来建立该系统)”可知，已经有很多的海滩使用了Seatrac系统，而且还有许多的海滩将来要建立该系统。由此可推知，该系统是很有前景的。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一项新发明Seatrac系统，可以帮助轮椅使用者享受大海。所以“Seatrac：帮助轮椅使用者享受大海。”适合作本文的标题。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了咸水歌的起源和发展。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：咸水歌是中沙的传统民间音乐，在潭州、闽中等地广为流传。分析句子可知，空格处作enjoys的宾语，应该用名词形式，popular是形容词，其名词形式是popularity，不可数名词。故填popularity。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：咸水歌可以追溯到明末清初，当时人们在海上过着贫穷的生活，他们的船是他们的房间，大海是他们的土地。分析句子可知，此处为关系副词when引导的定语从句，先行词the late Ming and early Qing period在从句中作时间状语成分。故填when。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：面对如此恶劣的生活环境，他们用歌声来鼓舞自己。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，face和逻辑主语they为被动关系，所以为过去分词形式。故填Faced。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：渐渐地，他们不需要出海捕鱼了，但这首歌在那个时期流传了下来。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，主语the song为单数名词和动词pass为被动关系，结合时间状语during that period可知，此处应为一般过去时的被动语态结构。故填was passed。
【40题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：最让人印象深刻的是，咸水歌的形式多种多样，有咸水歌、高唐歌、大竹歌、顾眉歌等长短句。分析句子可知，此处为连接代词What引导的主语从句，What在从句中作主语成分，意为“一些事情”。故填What。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：它自然地伴随着韵律表演，显示了当地农民的智慧。由副词修饰动词可知，此处为副词naturally修饰动词is performed。故填naturally。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，随着外来文化的涌入，越来越多的年轻一代对咸水歌不感兴趣，这使得咸水歌面临着消失的危险。分析句子可知，此处为with的复合结构，其里面的动词应为非谓语形式，pour和foreign cultures为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填pouring。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：为了尽可能地保护它，我国于2006年5月将它列入了国家非物质文化遗产名录。分析句子可知，此处为动词短语add sth to sth“将某物添加到某物中”，所以此处为介词to的填入。故填to。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：此外，在政府的支持下，举行了许多关于咸水歌的丰富多彩的活动，许多继承者开始出现。由空后activities为名词可知，此处为形容词colorful/colourful“丰富多彩的”作定语修饰该名词，满足句意要求。故填colorful/colourful。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：通过所有这些方法，“咸水歌”迄今为止吸引了更多的关注。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，结合该句so far时间状语可知，此处应为现在完成时，主语Saltwater Song为单数名词，所以为动词三单形式。故填has drawn。

Is everything alright What are you doing in this bus station ” Christina placed her hands on the old woman’s shoulders.
Years ago, Mrs. Logan was their math teacher. She lived alone in Minnesota after her husband died. “I was hoping to go to Florida to see my son Peter. I haven’t heard from him for months. There are lots of hurricanes(飓风) in Florida. I need to make sure he’s safe,” Mrs. Logan explained.
Considering the doctor’s advice against Mrs. Logan travelling alone by bus especially as far as Florida, Julian softly suggested she go home and rest. However, Mrs. Logan begged for their help in a weak voice. Moved by her, Julian and Christina decided to drive her to Florida themselves to help realize her wish.
Four days later, they finally reached Florida, only to find everywhere was in a mess. Obviously, a terrible hurricane had hit this area days before. They hurried to her son’s home.

In the third grade, ten-year-old Jane read a book about poaching (偷猎) the endangered tigers and cutting down forests at will. She told her friend Holt about it and she really wanted to help save the tigers.
Despite being in elementary school, the two girls have organized fundraisers(资金筹集).During their first year, the girls raised $1,500 to save tigers. “We went to a zoo and asked if we could help and it became this huge fun thing. We never expected it to get so big,” the girls said.
When Jane and Holt pitched their ideas in the zoo to ask for funds, their table was packed with zoo guests all afternoon. This year’s goal is $2,500. Whatever they raise will be matched by the Zoological Society and all be donated(捐赠) to the Tiger Protection Fund.
On top of helping the animal, the girls would also be excited about their names to be proudly posted at the zoo’s entrance on a sign with other donors. “If we get our names on it, it’s going to feel like being famous, and it’s going to be like a dream come true for us,” Jane said. They said they were close to their goal and the zoo couldn’t be happier.
“Their awareness of what’s happening to tigers and their wanting to educate people on what’s happening to tigers are unbelievable,” Kassner, an animal expert, said. “Three kinds of tigers have already died out and the remaining six are all endangered. The ‘Tiger Girls’ are bringing a big and positive effect and won’t be stopping anytime soon.”
“I’m so happy that we’ve come this far. We can do this now though we’re only fifth graders and just imagine what we can do in the future,” Holt said.
4. What led Jane to have the idea of saving tigers
A. The support of her school. B. Her teacher’s encouragement.

It’s often said that we human beings can dream in a foreign language. Could dreaming in a foreign language improve our memory Does dreaming in a foreign language mean we are making progress in learning that language
Before we look at multilingual (多语言) dreams, first we need to look at sleep. The connection between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language, including our native language. Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language. But, if we are going to remember that new word better, what matters is that we need to connect it with what we have learned. And in order to do that, we “need to have some sleep”, says Gareth Gaskell, a professor at the University of York.
It’s during sleep that the integration (整合) of old and new knowledge happens. At might, one part of our brain — the hippocampus — takes whatever new information it receives during the day and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored. The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied, but “it’s entirely possible that during multilingual dreams, the brain is trying to connect the two languages”, says Marc, a researcher at a university in Bern, Switzerland.
So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to remember a new word or phrase. However, it could also have an emotional (情感) significance. Danuta, a professor of psycholinguistics at the University of Silesia in Poland, suggests that multilingual dreams can express “fears or wishes” around learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a local speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.
We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams, but one thing seems certain: if you’re trying to learn a new language, you can sleep on it.
8 Why does the author mention questions in paragraph 1
A. To compare different ideas. B. To introduce the main topic.
C. To present different types of dreams. D. To discuss the human language ability.
9. What is the key element in memorizing a new word according to the text
A. The other new words. B. The native language.
C. The gained knowledge. D. The speaking practice.
10. What can we learn about multilingual dreams
A. They may influence people’s sleep quality. B. They can reflect language-learning feelings.
C. They are the best option to learn a language. D. They help to clear up the useless information.
11. Where is the text most likely from
A. A novel. B. A diary. C. A guidebook. D. A magazine.
D
People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new solution called Seatrac, which allows people in wheelchairs to get into the water on their own.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving walkway that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water; or go for a swim. The chair can be controlled from a long distance. When the person is ready to get out of the water, the Seatrac system (系统) brings the chair back to the top of the walkway.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend expressed his enjoyment of the sea but disliked being carried into the ocean like “a bag of potatoes”. Fotiou realized there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. He worked with his partners to design the system, finally forming a company called TOBEA to build and sell the system.
TOBEA works on making the system simple to put in place and easy to control. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach Seatrac. The system is solar-powered (太阳能) and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can be easily packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.
Greece has decided to open 287 beaches for people with disabilities. 140 beaches have set up the system and the remaining 147 will build the system in the future. The new Seatrac service is being provided for free to help attract more tourists to the country. TOBEA will offer a website showing where beaches with the special service can be found. Thanks to Seatrac, more and more people who use wheelchairs will have the chance to cool down with a swim in the sea.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. Why Seatrac is well received. B. How Seatrac works.
