第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(共15小题；每小题2.5分，共37.5分)
A
When you stand in the starlight under the Milky Way, the night sky is one of the most incredible wonders many of us have not seen, which is under threat due to the constant march of human progress and consequent light pollution. Below are some of my favorite dark sky destinations around the world.
The Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, New Zealand
The Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve is one of the best places in the country to view the night sky. Comprised of Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park and the Mackenzie Basin of Aotearoa New Zealand’s South Island, the Dark Sky Reserve was certified in 2012 to continue protecting the dark skies in the area.
Stargazing (天体观察) enthusiasts should plan a visit to Mt John Observatory, tours of which must be booked in advance.
The Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland
Most visitors go to Ireland’s western Wild Atlantic Way to explore beyond hot spots like Dublin and Cork, but the route is also fast becoming a great region for stargazing, thanks to the efforts of local communities along the Way.
If planning a trip, keep in mind that Ireland does have wet months where overcast skies are more likely to affect your stargazing prospects.
Wadi Rum, Jordan
Wadi Rum is also sometimes called “The Valley of the Moon”, though you’re more likely to compare it to Mars if you visit it. Famous for its otherworldly landscapes in movies like Prometheus, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Martian, Wadi Rum’s towering red rock formations are extremely interesting to explore by day, and offer protection from any distant light pollution once the sun sets.
Stargazing in Wadi Rum is a breathtaking experience and reminds us how our ancestors have experienced the night sky for thousands of years.
1. What might be a disadvantage of stargazing in Ireland
A. Conservation efforts. B. Heavy tourism.
C. Customer service. D. Local climate.
2. What sets Wadi Rum apart from the other dark sky destinations
A. Unusual landscapes. B. Ancestors’ experiences.
C. Its geographical location. D. Its local film studios.
3. What is the purpose of the text
A. To compare things. B. To inform readers.
C. To warn readers. D. To announce something.

Lee hyun-seok grew up in South Korea addicted to Japanese manga (漫画) series such as “Dragon Ball” and “Slam Dunk”. As soon as he could, he migrated to Tokyo to build a successful career as a manga artist and editor. Then in the early 2000s came “webtoons” (网络漫画), a South Korean cartoon innovation optimized for smartphones. Mr. Lee was at first pared with manga’s inventive graphic styles and profound plots, he found webtoons just the opposite.
Yet Japanese manga is being eclipsed (黯然失色) by Korean webtoons. Last year the manga print market shrank by 2.3% to 265bn ($1.9bn). The size of the global webtoons market was meanwhile valued at $3.7bn. Manga is going digital slowly, in part because it is still designed for print, so awkward to read on smartphones. Seeing which way the wind was blowing, Mr. Lee abandoned manga for the webtoon industry in 2014.
Though webtoons such as “Itaewon Class” and “Solo Levelling” have become popular among Japanese consumers, most Japanese publishers have stuck stubbornly to manga. “The Japanese industry is very conservative,” sighs Mr. Lee. The manga industry’s business model, in which stories are first published in weekly magazines and then in books, has hardly changed since the 1960s. Webtoons have grown so fast, in part because they can be read more easily. Other recent South Korean exports, such as the Netflix sensation “Squid Game” and BTS, a boy band, have taken the world by storm thanks to the same combination of innovation and smart marketing behind webtoons.
Some are concerned about the future. Japan’s manga fans are, like all its population, aging. The average reader of the Weekly Shonen Magazine, a manga for children launched in 1989, is now over 30. “Manga could end up as old people’s culture,” warns Mr Lee. “Children these days are viewing through webtoons on their smartphones. Why not make something that suits their taste ”
4. What did Mr Lee think of “webtoons” in the early 2000s
A. He considered it as inventive. B. He considered it as attractive.
C. He considered it as original. D. He considered it as shallow.
5. Why does the author mention numbers in paragraphs 2
A. To confirm the advantages of smartphones.
B. To share the popularity of Japanese manga.
C. To introduce the influence of webtoons industry on Japanese manga.
D. To compare Mr. Lee’s career as an artist and an editor.
6. What can we learn from Japanese manga
A. Japanese manga can be read more easily.
B. Since the 1960s, the manga has grown so fast.
C. The manga industry is unwilling to transform.
D. “Squid Game” was adopted from Japanese manga.
7. What is Mr. Lee’s attitude towards manga’s future
A. Worried. B. Aggressive. C. Confident. D. Annoyed.
C
As athletes get stronger and faster, the pace of play continues to increase. The burden of making sure games are played according to the rules and that the officiating (裁判) is accurate is now being taken out of human hands and falling more and more into the lap of technology. It’s called the video replay.
The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you’ve been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.
However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it’s not the way the game was invented, and that the video replay is tainting the sport. But don’t you want to see the proper application of the rules throughout the games I know I do. Yes, it can slow the game down, but I feel it is worth it. If technological advancements allow fans watching from home to spot mistakes instantly, those same views need to be available to the officiating crews. Another example occurred in the most recent National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. When obvious pass interference was committed by the Los Angeles Rams player Nickell Robey-Coleman, with just 109 seconds to play, no flag was raised on the field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.
There are no easy answers regarding replay technology and whether it is a curse (魔咒). But for me, keeping the officiating honest and on task is the right step in limiting controversy.
8. What trend in sports can be observed in paragraph 2
A. The video replay has been widely used.
B. League games have become competitive.
C. Rules of professional games are becoming stricter.
D. People are showing more interest in sports than before.
9. What does the underlined word “tainting” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Tricking. B. Promoting. C. Damaging. D. Restoring.
10. What might the New Orleans Saints think of the referees in the NFC Championship Game
A. They relied a lot on the video replay.
B. They cared too much about details.
C. They were definitely stressed out.
D. They were terribly disqualified.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. Video replays: high-end technology in sports
B. Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports
C. Officiating: a duty that requires honesty
D. What do qualified referees really mean
D
One key element of human language is semantics (语义). Scientists had long thought that unlike our words, animal vocalizations (发声) were involuntary, renecting the emotional state of the animal without conveying any other information. But over the last four decades, numerous studies have shown that various animals have distinct calls with specific meanings.
Many bird species use different alarm calls. Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one call that causes their baby birds to get down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and another call for tree snakes that sends them jumping out of the nest entirely. Siberian jays vary their calls depending on whether an enemy is seen looking for food or actively attacking — and each call gets a different response from other nearby birds.
Two recent studies suggest that the order of some birds’ vocalizations may impact their meaning. Though the idea is still controversial, this could represent a basic form of the rules governing the order and combination of words and elements in human language known as syntax (句法), as illustrated by the classic “dog bites man” vs. “man bites dog” example.
Even if some birds share basic aspects of human language, we still know very little about what’s actually going on in their minds. Most animal communication research has focused on describing signals and behavior, which on the surface can look a lot like human behavior. Determining if the underlying cognitive (认知的) processes driving the behavior are also similar is much more challenging, as at the heart of this question is intentionality: Are animals merely reacting to their environment, or do they intend to convey information to one another
12. What was scientists’ long-held belief about animal vocalizations
A. They conveyed no emotion. B. They were semantically related.
C. They varied greatly with species. D. They expressed no intended meaning.
13. How does the author develop paragraph 2
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By providing definition. D. By making comparisons.
14. What does the underlined word ”this” in paragraph 3 refer to
A What birds’ vocalizations mean. B. How rules govern human language.
C What the two recent studies indicate. D. How bird’s vocalizations are combined.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. Shared aspects of human and birds’ languages.
B. Focus of most animal communication research.
C. Underlying, cognitive processes of birds’ vocalizations.
D. Insufficient knowledge about birds’ communication intentionality.

Andy a 15-year-old boy, and his mother Emily didn’t have much in life, living daily with just enough to eat three meals and pay the bills. Without his mother knowing, Andy had been saving up his pocket money for months to buy her a birthday present. He had collected a total of $25.
As a cleaner at a nearby park, Emily never took a bus, choosing to walk to and from work to save money. One day, Andy noticed that her mother came home wet to the skin. She told him her umbrella broke because of the strong wind and she wanted to get home in time to have dinner with him.
The following day, his mother woke up with a fever. “Mom, I’m sure you have to stay in bed today” Andy told her. “I’ll look after you. Here is your medicine,” he said, handing her a glass of water. Then, Andy left the house and walked towards the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables with which to cook some so up for his mother.
It occurred to him that his mother’s birthday was in a couple of days, so he decided to get his mother an umbrella first and spend the rest of his money on food.
“What is your strongest umbrella here, sir ” he asked the shop assistant. “I am looking for one that won’t break easily.” The man showed Andy a variety of umbrellas. Andy believed the purple one would be the best choice, his mother’s favorite color. It was $22. Andy almost jumped with joy! The boy was happy that he managed to lend his mom a hand by finding her something she really needed. Also, he even had some money to spare!
Stepping out of the shop with the gift and vegetables in his shopping bag Andy realized it was starting to rain. He was running to a nearby bus stop to seek shelter with other people when he noticed an old lady walking slowly and struggling for a balance. It was pouring down. Without hesitation, he took the umbrella out of his bag and ran over.
Paragraph 1:
The old lady looked up and realized an umbrella was sheltering her from the rain. She cast him an appreciative look with a beam of delight.” Thank you. And by the way, it’s wise to get an umbrella before the rain started pouring,” she said. Andy shook his head, telling her that his mom’s umbrella was broken, and he wanted to get her a new one she could use for years.” I didn’t expect that. But it must be very nice to have a caring boy like you,” she replied, helping Andy to wipe off the raindrops on the umbrella. They exchanged a knowing look and waved goodbye after the rain stopped.

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Wadi Rum, Jordan部分中“Famous for its otherworldly landscapes in movies like Prometheus, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Martian, Wadi Rum’s towering red rock formations are extremely interesting to explore by day, and offer protection from any distant light pollution once the sun sets.(在电影《普罗米修斯》、《星球大战：侠盗一号》和《火星救援》中，瓦迪拉姆以超凡脱俗的风景而闻名。在白天，探索瓦迪拉姆高耸的红色岩层非常有趣，一旦太阳落山，它就能保护你免受任何遥远的光污染)”可知，Wadi Rum因其在众多电影中的超凡风景而闻名，与众不同。故选A。

As soon as he could, he migrated to Tokyo to build a successful career as a manga artist and editor. Then in the early 2000s came “webtoons” (网络漫画), a South Korean cartoon innovation optimized for smartphones. Mr. Lee was at first pared with manga’s inventive graphic styles and profound plots, he found webtoons just the opposite.
Yet Japanese manga is being eclipsed (黯然失色) by Korean webtoons. Last year the manga print market shrank by 2.3% to 265bn ($1.9bn). The size of the global webtoons market was meanwhile valued at $3.7bn. Manga is going digital slowly, in part because it is still designed for print, so awkward to read on smartphones. Seeing which way the wind was blowing, Mr. Lee abandoned manga for the webtoon industry in 2014.
Though webtoons such as “Itaewon Class” and “Solo Levelling” have become popular among Japanese consumers, most Japanese publishers have stuck stubbornly to manga. “The Japanese industry is very conservative,” sighs Mr. Lee. The manga industry’s business model, in which stories are first published in weekly magazines and then in books, has hardly changed since the 1960s. Webtoons have grown so fast, in part because they can be read more easily. Other recent South Korean exports, such as the Netflix sensation “Squid Game” and BTS, a boy band, have taken the world by storm thanks to the same combination of innovation and smart marketing behind webtoons.
Some are concerned about the future. Japan’s manga fans are, like all its population, aging. The average reader of the Weekly Shonen Magazine, a manga for children launched in 1989, is now over 30. “Manga could end up as old people’s culture,” warns Mr Lee. “Children these days are viewing through webtoons on their smartphones. Why not make something that suits their taste ”
4. What did Mr Lee think of “webtoons” in the early 2000s
A. He considered it as inventive. B. He considered it as attractive.
C. He considered it as original. D. He considered it as shallow.
5. Why does the author mention numbers in paragraphs 2
A. To confirm the advantages of smartphones.
B. To share the popularity of Japanese manga.
C. To introduce the influence of webtoons industry on Japanese manga.
D. To compare Mr. Lee’s career as an artist and an editor.
6. What can we learn from Japanese manga
A. Japanese manga can be read more easily.
B. Since the 1960s, the manga has grown so fast.
C. The manga industry is unwilling to transform.
D. “Squid Game” was adopted from Japanese manga.
7. What is Mr. Lee’s attitude towards manga’s future
A Worried. B. Aggressive. C. Confident. D. Annoyed.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是日本的漫画产业在市场上逐渐变得萎靡，Lee hyun-seok看到市场动向而放弃了漫画，投身网络卡通行业。
4题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“Then in the early 2000s came “webtoons”, a South Korean cartoon innovation optimized for smartphones. Mr. Lee was at first pared with manga’s inventive graphic styles and profound plots, he found webtoons just the opposite.( 然后在21世纪初出现了“网络漫画”，这是一种针对智能手机优化的韩国漫画创新。Mr. Lee一开始并不在意。与漫画富有创意的图形风格和深刻的情节相比，他发现网络漫画恰恰相反。)”可知，Mr. Lee认为漫画富有创意的图形风格和深刻的情节，而网络漫画恰恰相反，由此可知，他认为21世纪初的“网络漫画”不怎么富有创意的图形风格和深刻的情节，所以Lee认为21世纪初的“网络漫画”很肤浅。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Yet Japanese manga is being eclipsed (黯然失色) by Korean webtoons. Last year the manga print market shrank by 2.3% to 265bn ($1.9bn). The size of the global webtoons market was meanwhile valued at $3.7bn.(然而，日本漫画正在被韩国网络漫画黯然失色。去年，日本漫画印刷市场萎缩2.3%，至2650亿日元(合19亿美元)。与此同时，全球网络漫画市场的规模为37亿美元。)”可知，日本的漫画正被韩国的网络漫画黯然失色，进而在下文中列举数字来说明这一观点，由此可知，第二段提到数字的目的是为了说明网络漫画对漫画的影响。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Though webtoons such as “Itaewon Class” and “Solo Levelling” have become popular among Japanese consumers, most Japanese publishers have stuck stubbornly to manga. “The Japanese industry is very conservative,” sighs Mr. Lee. The manga industry’s business model, in which stories are first published in weekly magazines and then in books, has hardly changed since the 1960s. (虽然像《梨泰院阶级》和《单人关卡》这样的网络漫画在日本消费者中很受欢迎，但大多数日本出版商仍固执地坚持漫画。“日本漫画产业是非常保守的，”李先生叹息道。漫画产业的商业模式，即故事先在周刊上发表，然后再出版成书，自20世纪60年代以来几乎没有改变。)”可知，日本漫画产业是非常保守的，从20世纪60年代以来几乎没有什么改变，由此可知，日本漫画产业固守以前的传统，不愿转型。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Japan’s manga fans are, like all its population, aging. The average reader of the Weekly Shonen Magazine, a manga for children launched in 1989, is now over 30. “Manga could end up as old people’s culture,” warns Mr Lee. (日本的漫画迷和所有人口一样，都在老龄化。1989年创刊的儿童漫画《少年周刊》的读者平均已超过30岁。“漫画可能最终成为老年人的文化，”Lee警告说。)”可知，再不转型日本漫画可能最终成为老年人的文化，由此可推断Lee对漫画的未来持担心态度。故选A项。
C
As athletes get stronger and faster, the pace of play continues to increase. The burden of making sure games are played according to the rules and that the officiating (裁判) is accurate is now being taken out of human hands and falling more and more into the lap of technology. It’s called the video replay.
The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you’ve been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.
However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it’s not the way the game was invented, and that the video replay is tainting the sport. But don’t you want to see the proper application of the rules throughout the games I know I do. Yes, it can slow the game down, but I feel it is worth it. If technological advancements allow fans watching from home to spot mistakes instantly, those same views need to be available to the officiating crews. Another example occurred in the most recent National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. When obvious pass interference was committed by the Los Angeles Rams player Nickell Robey-Coleman, with just 109 seconds to play, no flag was raised on the field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.
There are no easy answers regarding replay technology and whether it is a curse (魔咒). But for me, keeping the officiating honest and on task is the right step in limiting controversy.
8. What trend in sports can be observed in paragraph 2
A. The video replay has been widely used.
B. League games have become competitive.
C. Rules of professional games are becoming stricter.
D People are showing more interest in sports than before.
9. What does the underlined word “tainting” in paragraph 3 mean

D. What do qualified referees really mean
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了随着运动员变得更加强壮和快速，比赛的节奏也越来越快，在确保比赛遵循规则和裁判准确性方面，越来越多地依靠于视频回放技术，以及在体育比赛中采用视频回放技术的优势和争议。文章提出使用视频回放技术可以让裁判更加公正和准确，并强调了保持裁判员诚实和任务的重要性。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you’ve been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.(在即将到来的赛季中，美国国家橄榄球联盟将扩大其回放系统，将传球干扰纳入其中。美国职业棒球大联盟现在依靠它来进行安全出局和本垒打。如果你一直在看世界杯，你可能已经注意到视频助理裁判(VAR)在几乎每场比赛中都发挥着关键作用。在肯塔基赛马比赛中，一匹马因撞到另一匹马而被取消资格。没有人知道为什么，直到视频回放证实了这一判罚，争议才得以避免。)”可知，美国国家橄榄球联盟、美国职业棒球大联盟，FIFA世界杯以及肯塔基赛马中都在依靠视频回放作出裁决，由此推知，视频回放在体育赛事中已被广泛使用。故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的内容“However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it’s not the way the game was invented(然而，许多纯粹主义者——那些希望人们认真遵守规则，以传统方式做事的人——尤其是在足球领域，认为这不是这项运动的发明方式)”可知，许多纯粹主义者即以传统做事的人，在足球领域中认为这不是这项运动的发明方式，由此可知，许多纯粹主义者对视频回放持否定态度，他们认为视频回放玷污了这项运动。因此，画线词与C项“Damaging.(损坏)”为同义词。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.(它削弱了新奥尔良圣徒队的士气。洛杉矶公羊队在加时赛中以26比23获胜。这一否决深深激怒了公众。录像回放显示，裁判刚刚错过了一个最明显的传球干扰判罚。)”可知，视频回放显示，裁判刚刚错过了一个十分明显的传球干扰判罚，而这削弱了新奥尔良圣徒队的士气。由此推知，新奥尔良圣徒队会认为这些裁判是不称职的。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述了随着运动员变得更加强壮和快速，比赛的节奏也越来越快，在确保比赛遵循规则和裁判准确性方面，越来越多地依靠于视频回放技术，以及在体育比赛中采用视频回放技术的优势和争议。文章提出使用视频回放技术可以让裁判更加公正和准确，并强调了保持裁判员诚实和任务的重要性。B选项“Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports (像VAR这样的技术是体育界的福音吗？)”符合文章标题。故选B。
D
One key element of human language is semantics (语义). Scientists had long thought that unlike our words, animal vocalizations (发声) were involuntary, renecting the emotional state of the animal without conveying any other information. But over the last four decades, numerous studies have shown that various animals have distinct calls with specific meanings.
Many bird species use different alarm calls. Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one call that causes their baby birds to get down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and another call for tree snakes that sends them jumping out of the nest entirely. Siberian jays vary their calls depending on whether an enemy is seen looking for food or actively attacking — and each call gets a different response from other nearby birds.
Two recent studies suggest that the order of some birds’ vocalizations may impact their meaning. Though the idea is still controversial, this could represent a basic form of the rules governing the order and combination of words and elements in human language known as syntax (句法), as illustrated by the classic “dog bites man” vs. “man bites dog” example.
Even if some birds share basic aspects of human language, we still know very little about what’s actually going on in their minds. Most animal communication research has focused on describing signals and behavior, which on the surface can look a lot like human behavior. Determining if the underlying cognitive (认知的) processes driving the behavior are also similar is much more challenging, as at the heart of this question is intentionality: Are animals merely reacting to their environment, or do they intend to convey information to one another
12. What was scientists’ long-held belief about animal vocalizations
A. They conveyed no emotion. B. They were semantically related.
C. They varied greatly with species. D. They expressed no intended meaning.
13. How does the author develop paragraph 2
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By providing definition. D. By making comparisons.
14. What does the underlined word ”this” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. What birds’ vocalizations mean. B. How rules govern human language.
C. What the two recent studies indicate. D. How bird’s vocalizations are combined.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. Shared aspects of human and birds’ languages.
B. Focus of most animal communication research.
C. Underlying, cognitive processes of birds’ vocalizations.
D. Insufficient knowledge about birds’ communication intentionality.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。在过去的四十年里，大量的研究表明，各种动物都有不同的叫声，具有特定的含义，其中人们对鸟类的叫声倾注了大量关注和研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Scientists had long thought that unlike our words, animal vocalizations (发声) were involuntary, renecting the emotional state of the animal without conveying any other information.(长期以来，科学家们一直认为，与我们的语言不同，动物的发声是不由自主的，它再现了动物的情绪状态，而不传达任何其他信息。)”可知，科学家们长期以来对动物发声的看法是它们没有表达任何有意的意思。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Many bird species use different alarm calls.(许多鸟类使用不同的警报信号。)”，第二句“Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one call that causes their baby birds to get down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and another call for tree snakes that sends them jumping out of the nest entirely.(在树洞筑巢的日本山雀，有一种叫声能让它们的幼鸟下来，以免被乌鸦拉出巢外，另一种叫声能让它们完全跳出巢外。)”和第三句“Siberian jays vary their calls depending on whether an enemy is seen looking for food or actively attacking — and each call gets a different response from other nearby birds.(西伯利亚松鸦根据敌人是在寻找食物还是在主动攻击而改变它们的叫声，而每一种叫声都会从附近的其他鸟类那里得到不同的回应。)”可知，第二段是通过举例来论证观点。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Two recent studies suggest that the order of some birds’ vocalizations may impact their meaning.(最近的两项研究表明，一些鸟类发声的顺序可能会影响它们的意义。)”和第二句中的“could represent a basic form of the rules governing the order and combination of words and elements in human language known as syntax (句法), as illustrated by the classic “dog bites man” vs. “man bites dog” example(可能代表了一种基本形式的规则，即控制人类语言中单词和元素的顺序和组合，即语法，如经典的“狗咬人”和“人咬狗”的例子所示)”可知，this指代的是鸟的叫声的组合方式。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段第一句“Even if some birds share basic aspects of human language, we still know very little about what’s actually going on in their minds.(即使一些鸟类分享人类语言的基本方面，我们仍然对它们的思想知之甚少。)”和最后一句“Determining if the underlying cognitive (认知的)processes driving the behavior are also similar is much more challenging, as at the heart of this question is intentionality: Are animals merely reacting to their environment, or do they intend to convey information to one another (确定驱动行为的潜在认知过程是否相似则更具挑战性，因为这个问题的核心是意向性；动物仅仅是对环境做出反应，还是它们有意向彼此传递信息？)”可知，最后一段主要是讲对鸟类的交流意向认识的不足。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“报复性睡眠拖延症”及其危害。
【16题详解】
根据第二段“Both language versions reflect frustration tied to long, stressful work hours that left little time for personal enjoyment.(两种语言版本都反映了与长时间、压力大的工作时间有关的挫折感，这些工作时间几乎没有留给个人享受的时间)”中“Both language versions”可推知，第一段中会提到对关于报复性睡眠拖延症的两种语言。上文“The addition of the word “revenge”, by the Chinese, to the concept of bedtime procrastination became popular on social media. (中国人给睡前拖延症的概念加上了“报复”一词，这在社交媒体上很流行)”说到中文，G项“The English term “revenge bedtime procrastination” appeared from a translation of this expression.(英语词汇“报复性睡前拖延症”就是由这个短语翻译而来的)”提到英文，照应第二段中“Both language versions”。故选G。
【17题详解】
下文“This is known as an intention-behavior gap.(这就是所谓的“意图—行为差距”)”提出一个概念：意图—行为差距。上文“People who engage in bedtime procrastination know and generally want to receive enough sleep.(睡前拖延症患者知道并普遍希望获得足够的睡眠)”提出睡前拖延症患者希望自己获得足够的睡眠，这是“意图”，A项“But they fail to actually do so.(但他们实际上并没有这样做)”指出他们的真正做法，这是“行为”，照应“intention-behavior gap”这一概念。同时，A项上文构成转折关系。空处和前文为转折关系。故选A。
【18题详解】
上文“Bedtime procrastination can cause sleep deprivation (缺乏).(睡前拖延会导致睡眠不足)”指出睡眠拖延会导致睡眠不足。F项“Without enough hours of sleep, the mind and body can’t properly recharge.(没有足够的睡眠时间，身心就不能正常充电)”承接上文，说明睡眠不足带来的影响，与下文“Not getting enough sleep affects thinking, memory, and decision-making.(睡眠不足会影响思考、记忆和决策)”构成并列关系，上下文语意连贯。故选F。
【19题详解】
设空处是本段主题句，根据下文“It causes difficulties in regulating emotions. It’s also been connected to mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety. It is also discovered that sleep deprivation worsens physical health, making people more easily to suffer from illnesses. (它会导致情绪调节困难。它还与精神健康障碍有关，如抑郁和焦虑。研究还发现，睡眠不足会恶化身体健康，使人们更容易患病)”可知，本段主要说明睡眠不足会从精神和身体上对人造成危害。C项“A lack of sleep is tied to mental and physical health.(睡眠不足与身心健康息息相关)”适合作本段的主旨句。故选C。
【20题详解】
上文“The best solution for bedtime procrastination is creating good sleep patterns and a good sleeping environment.(解决睡前拖延症的最好办法是创造良好的睡眠模式和良好的睡眠环境)”给出解决睡前拖延症的办法，D项“But remember that it will take more than one night to truly get into good sleep habits.(但请记住，要真正养成良好的睡眠习惯需要不止一个晚上的时间)”对其进行补充说明，指出长期坚持是必要条件，上下文语意连贯。故选D。

Andy, a 15-year-old boy, and his mother Emily didn’t have much in life, living daily with just enough to eat three meals and pay the bills. Without his mother knowing, Andy had been saving up his pocket money for months to buy her a birthday present. He had collected a total of $25.
As a cleaner at a nearby park, Emily never took a bus, choosing to walk to and from work to save money. One day, Andy noticed that her mother came home wet to the skin. She told him her umbrella broke because of the strong wind and she wanted to get home in time to have dinner with him.
The following day, his mother woke up with a fever. “Mom, I’m sure you have to stay in bed today” Andy told her. “I’ll look after you. Here is your medicine,” he said, handing her a glass of water. Then, Andy left the house and walked towards the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables with which to cook some so up for his mother.
It occurred to him that his mother’s birthday was in a couple of days, so he decided to get his mother an umbrella first and spend the rest of his money on food.
“What is your strongest umbrella here, sir ” he asked the shop assistant. “I am looking for one that won’t break easily.” The man showed Andy a variety of umbrellas. Andy believed the purple one would be the best choice, his mother’s favorite color. It was $22. Andy almost jumped with joy! The boy was happy that he managed to lend his mom a hand by finding her something she really needed. Also, he even had some money to spare!
Stepping out of the shop with the gift and vegetables in his shopping bag, Andy realized it was starting to rain. He was running to a nearby bus stop to seek shelter with other people when he noticed an old lady walking slowly and struggling for a balance. It was pouring down. Without hesitation, he took the umbrella out of his bag and ran over.
Paragraph 1:
The old lady looked up and realized an umbrella was sheltering her from the rain. She cast him an appreciative look with a beam of delight.” Thank you. And by the way, it’s wise to get an umbrella before the rain started pouring,” she said. Andy shook his head, telling her that his mom’s umbrella was broken, and he wanted to get her a new one she could use for years.” I didn’t expect that. But it must be very nice to have a caring boy like you,” she replied, helping Andy to wipe off the raindrops on the umbrella. They exchanged a knowing look and waved goodbye after the rain stopped.

【答案】One possible version:
Anxious about his sick mom, Andy rushed home, all over wet. Andy arrived home and his mother asked why he had been out for so long. Andy briefed her on his experience of his way home without speaking of the umbrella. “That’s my boy,” beamed Mom with a proud smile broadening from side to side. Andy giggled shyly, putting a cold towel on Mom’s forehead. When his mother’s birthday arrived, Andy excitedly woke up to give his mom the present box. “Happy birthday! Mom!” exclaimed Andy, his eyes sparkling with thrill. Touched by her son’s efforts, Emily opened the gift and was surprised to see the umbrella inside. Tears began to gather in her eyes and she went to hug Andy tightly.
