A
Sharks are amazing creatures.They are known as the deadliest hunters in the sea.Fortunately most are not,but there are some kinds of sharks that can be extremely dangerous.Look at these short descriptions of four kinds of sharks.
The Great White Shark
The Great White Shark is one of the most frightening creatures in the sea.They live in tropical and subtropical waters,and they can grow up to 9 meters long.Most Great White Sharks are actually grey,blue or brown with a white belly,and their powerful teeth are triangles with edges like saws.
The Whale Shark
Whale Sharks are the largest kind of shark in the world up to 11 meters in length.They live in tropical waters all around the world,but they are not dangerous.Whale Sharks are brown or grey with white or yellow stripes.They often travel near the surface of the sea.
The Mako Shark
Mako Sharks are fierce predators.They come from the same family of sharks as the Great White Shark and they are especially fast—they can swim at speeds of up to 65 kilometers per hour.They are large bluish sharks found in the Atlantic Ocean,Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean.Mako Sharks can grow up to 3 meters long.
The Great Hammerhead Shark
The Great Hammerhead Shark’s most striking feature is its wide thick head which looks like a hammer.The average size of a Great Hammerhead Shark is approximately 3.5 meters,but it can grow up to 6 meters long.These sharks average over 500 pounds but can weigh as much as 1,000 pounds.Like most sharks the females are larger than the males.They have several rows of teeth that have 24 to 37 teeth per row.The Great Hammerhead Shark has a very keen sense of smell,which helps it find its prey.
1.What can we learn from the text
A.Sharks usually live in icy waters.
B.Mako Sharks are fast but not dangerous.
C.The Great White Shark has 24 to 37 sharp teeth.
D.Whale Sharks are bigger than other sharks in the sea.
2.Why is a shark called the Great Hammerhead Shark
A.Because of the size of its body.
B.Because of the waters it lives in.
C.Because of the shape of its head.
D.Because of the function of its teeth.
3.From which is the text probably taken
A.A news report.

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.
4.How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment
A.By following instructions.
B.By using a tool.
C.By turning the box around.
D.By removing the lid.
5.Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text
A.Using a key to unlock a door.
B.Telling parrots from other birds.
C.Putting a ball into a round hole.
D.Grouping toys of different shapes.
6.What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos
A.How far they are able to see.
B.How they track moving objects.
C.Whether they are smarter than monkeys.
D.Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.
7.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Cockatoos:Quick Error Checkers
B.Cockatoos:Independent Learners
C.Cockatoos:Clever Signal-Readers
D.Cockatoos:Skilful Shape-Sorters
C
Can a fish be depressed This question has been on my head ever since I spent a night in a hotel across from a sad-looking fish.
The pleasant woman at the front desk assured me that he was well taken care of.Was I incorrectly assuming his laziness as a sign of being upset
When I sought answers from scientists,I assumed that they would find the question ridiculous,but they did not.New research has been totally shifting the way that scientists think about fish cognition (认知),building a case that pets and owners are not nearly as different as many assume.The neurochemistry (神经化学) is so similar that it’s scary,said Julian Pittman,a professor.We tend to think of them as simple living things,but there is a lot we don’t give fish credit for.
Dr.Pittman likes working with fish,in part because they are so obvious about their depression.A zebra fish gets dropped in a new tank.If after five minutes it is hanging out in the lower half,it’s depressed.If it’s swimming up the top,then it’s not.
Is depression the right word There’s an obvious issue that we cannot ask animals how they feel,says Dr.Diego A.Pizzagalli.Neither fish nor rats can catch the entire range of depression as we know it.
There is a heated debate about whether “anxious” or “depressed” is a more appropriate term.But what has convinced Dr.Pittman and others over the past ten years,is watching the way the zebra fish lose interest in just about everything:food,toys,exploration,just like clinically depressed people who are withdrawn.The same is true of fish.
One of the things we’re finding is that fish are naturally curious and seek novel things out,said Dr.Braithwaite.In other words,your goldfish is probably bored.To help get rid of depression,she urges introducing new objects to the tank or switching the locations of items.
8.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A.Fish are considered simple living things.
B.Pets and owners are always assumed to be the same.
C.Scientists have learnt a lot about fish cognition.
D.Fish and human beings have something in common.
9.What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A.Quiet and shy.
B.Happy and excited.
C.Interested and careful.
D.Disappointed and surprised.
10.Why can fish become bored according to the text
A.They need oxygen from the air.
B.They are not born to be curious.
C.They lack new things to explore.
D.They can’t locate the positions of items.
11.What might be the best title for the text
A.Fish Depression Is Not a Joke
B.Fish Can Be a Boring Pet
C.Fish Need Better Care More
D.Fish Cognition Does Not Exist

(2022·新高考Ⅰ卷)
Like most of us,I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste.The arugula(芝麻菜) was to make a nice green salad,rounding out a roast chicken dinner.But I ended up working late.Then friends called with a dinner invitation.I stuck the chicken in the freezer.But as days passed,the arugula went bad.Even worse,I had unthinkingly bought way too much;I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry,“food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story.It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away—from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.
Producing food that no one eats wastes the water,fuel,and other resources used to grow it.That makes food waste an environmental problem.In fact,Royte writes,“if food waste were a country,it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”
If that’s hard to understand,let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator.Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time—but for him,it’s more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last days.Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington,D.C.,which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals.Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished(有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields.And the strawberries Volunteers will wash,cut,and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.
Such methods seem obvious,yet so often we just don’t think.“Everyone can play a part in reducing waste,whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.
12.What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story
A.We pay little attention to food waste.
B.We waste food unintentionally at times.
C.We waste more vegetables than meat.
D.We have good reasons for wasting food.
13.What is a consequence of food waste according to the text
A.Moral decline.
B.Environmental harm.
C.Energy shortage.
D.Worldwide starvation.
14.What does Curtin’s company do
A.It produces kitchen equipment.
B.It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.
C.It helps local farmers grow fruits.
D.It makes meals out of unwanted food.
15.What does Curtin suggest people do
A.Buy only what is needed.
B.Reduce food consumption.
C.Go shopping once a week.
D.Eat in restaurants less often.
Ⅱ.七选五

Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。鲨鱼是令人惊奇的生物。它们被称为海洋中最致命的猎手。幸运的是,大多数鲨鱼都不是,但有一些鲨鱼是非常危险的。本文介绍了大白鲨、鲸鲨、灰鲭鲨和无沟双髻鲨这四种鲨鱼的有关信息。
1.D 解析 细节理解题。根据The Whale Shark部分的“Whale Sharks are the largest kind of shark in the world”可知,鲸鲨是世界上最大的鲨鱼,即鲸鲨比海里的其他鲨鱼要大。
2.C 解析 细节理解题。根据The Great Hammerhead Shark部分的第一句可知,无沟双髻鲨最显著的特征是它的宽而粗的头部,看起来像一把锤子。故可知,它因其头部的形状而得名。
3.D 解析 推理判断题。本文向我们介绍了四种鲨鱼的有关信息,结合选项可推知该篇文章应该摘自生物杂志。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明凤头鹦鹉具备相当于人类两岁幼儿的形状识别能力。
4.B 解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Though not known to use tools in the wild,the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage.”以及接下来提到的实验可知,它们需要找出合适的工具嵌入箱子才能得到坚果。故选B项。
5.C 解析 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,一岁的幼儿最有可能完成的任务是将一个球放到一个圆形的洞中。故选C项。
6.D 解析 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“or also use a sense of touch”可知,研究人员下一步要研究它们是否也使用触觉来识别物体形状。故选D项。
7.D 解析 标题归纳题。文章第一段提到凤头鹦鹉可以使用工具;第二段把凤头鹦鹉与人类两岁左右的幼儿进行比较,得出它们的确具备形状识别能力的结论;第三段主要介绍研究人员计划进一步研究它们的形状识别方式。综上所述,文章主要介绍了凤头鹦鹉识别形状的能力。故选D项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。最新科学研究发现鱼也会有抑郁情绪出现,颠覆了人们以往的认知。
8.D 解析 段落大意题。根据第三段中的“building a case that pets and owners are not nearly as different as many assume”及“The neurochemistry is so similar that it’s scary”可推知,该段主要讲鱼和人类有一些共同之处。
9.A 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的“just like clinically depressed people who are withdrawn”可知,该画线词描述患抑郁症的人的特点,结合常识可推知,A项(安静且羞怯)符合语境。
10.C 解析 推理判断题。根据题干中的“fish become bored”定位至文章最后一段中的 “One of the things...seek novel things out”及“To help get rid of depression,she urges introducing new objects”,由此可推知,鱼出现厌烦情绪的原因是其没有新奇的事物去探索。
11.A 解析 标题归纳题。根据首段中的“Can a fish be depressed ”,第三段中的“When I sought answers from scientists,I assumed that they would find the question ridiculous,but they did not.”及第六段中的“The same is true of fish.”可知,全文的主题是鱼也会抑郁,故A项“鱼会抑郁不是一个笑话”可作文章的最佳标题。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过自己浪费芝麻菜的例子引出食物浪费的主题,进而呼吁我们减少食物浪费。
12.B 解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Then friends called with a dinner invitation.I stuck the chicken in the freezer.But as days passed,the arugula went bad.”可知,朋友邀请作者就餐,作者把鸡肉放进冰柜里,但随着日子一天天过去,芝麻菜变坏了。由此猜测,作者提到芝麻菜是为了说明有时我们会无意识地浪费食物。故选B项。
13.B 解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“That makes food waste an environmental problem.”和“‘... it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.’”可知,食物浪费会造成环境危害。故选B项。
14.D 解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington,D.C.,which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals.”可知,该公司回收食物并把它制成更健康的食物。故选D项。
15.A 解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping”可知,Curtin建议我们只购买需要的东西。故选A项。
Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。你在学校学习不及格吗 你是否很难找到一份工作并一直坚持下去 你工作不开心吗 你是否积累了大量的个人债务 你担心你的体重吗 如果是这样,你最好做一些改变。本文主要给我们提出了一些改变生活中不如意事情的建议。

2.D 解析 此空前提到了:搬家、转学、去新的体育馆,都是强调去新的地方,换新的环境,故空处应该表总结:在一个新的地方,你可以领会思维的方式。
3.A 解析 此条建议中,多次提到habits,故空处应该与习惯相关,A项“养成好习惯”符合语境。
4.G 解析 此空处前面在说根据你最适合什么来做选择,空处后面举了一个事例“如果你擅长运动,你会想居住在体育中心附近”,故空处也应列举一个事例,G项“如果你是一个好的舞者,你会想居住在剧院附近”符合语境。
