After leaving the publishing industry in my fifties, I chose a university to follow my love for animal biology. I regard the experience as a change for my self-confidence, both inside and outside the classroom.
My background is in the arts, so I wanted to see if I could keep up with a science degree. I was a carer for my parent when I was 18, so I didn’t have the opportunity to go to university then. I was a little nervous, and worried, but I was actually treated the same as all the other students.
I’m definitely a bit of a mum figure to some of my classmates, but that’s fine. Friendship grows in different ways. I’ve done lots of volunteering, so there have been plenty of opportunities to extend my knowledge and experience.
My family have been so supportive. My husband is retired(退休) now and has taken on lots of the housework so that I can study. My daughter has already g other degree and she’s been great helping me get new views. I’ve hunted for a few jobs at the university, and I’m also considering other qualifications. I have learned so much about critical thinking.
I would recommend adult study to anyone, even if it’s just college, so they can feel that connection and support. That’s what I missed-going in regularly and having a group of people to talk to, especially if you have gradually lost your confidence over the years You need the support from people who see you as a person and not just a mum or a wife. It’s really given me the confidence to speak up again, to join in and be part of the society.

A. To teach arts. B. To get a degree.
C. To follow her passion. D. To find a better job.
5. What prevented the author going to university when she was young

B. She learned to be stricter with herself.
C. She was more responsible for her housework.
D. She became more confident to express herself.
7. Which maybe the best title for the text

It may sound a bit “Dr. Doolittle,” but it turns out kangaroos can communicate with humans. Researchers found that kangaroos communicated with humans “on purpose”--a behavior that was thought to only belong to domesticated(驯养的)animals, like dogs, horses or goats.
Experts from London's University of Roehampton and the University of Sydney set up a task. This task was known as “the unsolvable problem task” During the task, they presented kangaroos with food trapped inside a plastic container.
After trying, and failing, to open the boxes, the kangaroos turned their gaze(注视)on a nearby human - and sometimes even pushed or scratched(抓) them to ask for help, researchers said.
“Their gaze was pretty powerful, co-author Alexandra Green said. "We've previously thought only domesticated animals try to ask for help with a problem. But kangaroos do it too. If they can't open the box, they look at the human and back to the container. Some of them use their nose to push the human and some get close to the human and start scratching at him asking for assistance.,,
Based on these new findings, the team believe kangaroos - considered social animals, like dogs and goats --may be able to change their behavior to interact with humans.
“Through this study, we are able to see that communication between animals can be learnt and that the behaviour of gazing at humans to get food is not related to domestication lead author Alan McElligott said.
“Indeed, kangaroos showed a very similar pattern of behaviour we have seen in dogs, horses and even goats when put to the same test,“ McElligott added.
8. What have the researchers found about kangaroos
A. Kangaroos can become domestic animals.
B. Kangaroos can communicate with humans.
C. Kangaroos can learn from domestic animals.
D. Kangaroos have the same habits as domestic animals.
9. What does the underlined word “trapped“ mean in Paragraph 2
A. Removed. B. Hidden. C. Kept. D. Saved.
10. What are the researchers’ findings based on
A. Observations. B. Previous data.
C. Making comparison. D. Making a survey.
11. In which part of a newspaper is this text most probably taken from
A. Travel. B. Education. C. Technology. D. Science.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了袋关于袋鼠与人类交流能力的研究发现。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Researchers found that kangaroos communicated with humans “on purpose”--a behavior that was thought to only belong to domesticated(驯养的)animals, like dogs, horses or goats.”（研究人员发现，袋鼠“有目的”与人类交流——这种行为被认为只属于驯养的动物，如狗、马或山羊。）可知，研究人员发现袋鼠可以与人类交流。故选B。
2.词义猜测题。根据“inside a plastic container”（在塑料容器内）结合上文提到的食food可推断，此处是指食物放在容器内，所以trapped和kept词义相同。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段“After trying, and failing, to open the boxes, the kangaroos turned their gaze(注视)on a nearby human - and sometimes even pushed or scratched(抓) them to ask for help, researchers said.”（研究人员说，在尝试打开盒子但失败后，袋鼠把目光转向附近的人类，有时甚至推或抓他们寻求帮助。）可知，在这些实验过程中，研究人员是通过观察袋鼠的行为得到这些发现的。故选A。
4.推理判断题。文章是讲述了对于袋鼠与人类交流能力的研究发现，所以最有可能是来自一份报纸的科学部分。故选D。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了保证生活过得井井有条的几点建议。
【12题详解】
由“which then help them stay organized”可知，这些习惯帮助他们做到有条不紊。分析句子可知，这是一个定语从句，which指代前面的定语从句，在句中作主语，所以小题1“他们需要培养正确的习惯”中的“some habits ”为定语从句的先行词，且切题。故选C项。
【13题详解】
由“A pen and a notebook are needed to record things”可知，记录事情需要一支笔和一本笔记本。所以小题2要与前一句一同来说明，记录事情的手段。故E选项“你还可以使用电脑或智能手机”切题。故选E项。
【14题详解】
由“They make and keep schedules for the day and week. They make deadlines and set goals”可知，他们为每一天、每一星期都做了时间表。他们给出了最后期限，设定了目标。所以小题3要强调什么是重要的。故D选项“最重要的是，他们要坚持这些计划”切题。故选D项。
【15题详解】
由“Don’t put off doing what you should be doing ”可知，不要拖延你应该做的事。所以小题4要说明拖延事情所带来的不好结果。故G选项“等待得越久，你要做的那件事就变得越难做到”切题。故选G项。
【16题详解】
由“People who live organized lives only keep what they need and what they really want .Have you ever felt like you don’t have the space to keep all the things you own Instead of buying a larger house, get rid of some.”可知，生活井然有序的人只保留他们所需要的和他们真正想要的。你有没有觉得你没有空间保留你所有的东西？不要买大点的房子，而要扔掉一些。所以本段主要在说明只保留你需要的东西也就是小题5本段的标题所要说明的内容。故B选项“只保留你需要的东西”切题。故选B项。

43. 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。
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.
The dog was about twelve weeks old. It had no collar (项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about posting an advertisement but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.
By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart beat with fear for what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. The owner sounded extremely eager. My hand shook, and I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the paper.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.
By then we had named the dog. It was Kevin, so we called it Kevin. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did the housework, it was there to lend a hand.
There was only one problem with this seemingly perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I wondered in my heart whether I had to call that number in the paper and see if our Kevin was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing for me to do.

The woman said, “Where is my dog I would like to have a look at it.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
But I had to make a decision. With mixed feelings, I finally picked up my mobilephone. With butterflies in my stomach, I dialed the telephone number. Secretly, I prayed no one would answer, but someone did. The voice on the other end was that of a young woman. After describing the dog to her in detail, she immediately wanted to come over. I said that my daughters loved it very much and meanwhile apologized for not having contacted her a few days before. 30 minutes later, the bell rang and Kevin was barking. I opened the door, forcing myself to face the case.
The woman said, “Where is my dog I would like to have a look at it.” I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Kevin tightly. Kevin started wagging its tail and barking excitedly as if it had recognized someone familiar. Surprised and excited, the woman told me that she couldn’t sleep well without it and thanked us for keeping her dog for these days. She offered to give me some cash as a reward, but I refused. After she took Kevin away, I cracked a smile. I knew I had done the right thing—that puppy should return to its original owner.

After leaving the publishing industry in my fifties, I chose a university to follow my love for animal biology. I regard the experience as a change for my self-confidence, both inside and outside the classroom.
My background is in the arts, so I wanted to see if I could keep up with a science degree. I was a carer for my parent when I was 18, so I didn’t have the opportunity to go to university then. I was a little nervous, and worried, but I was actually treated the same as all the other students.
I’m definitely a bit of a mum figure to some of my classmates, but that’s fine. Friendship grows in different ways. I’ve done lots of volunteering, so there have been plenty of opportunities to extend my knowledge and experience.
My family have been so supportive. My husband is retired(退休) now and has taken on lots of the housework so that I can study. My daughter has already g other degree and she’s been great helping me get new views. I’ve hunted for a few jobs at the university, and I’m also considering other qualifications. I have learned so much about critical thinking.
I would recommend adult study to anyone, even if it’s just college, so they can feel that connection and support. That’s what I missed-going in regularly and having a group of people to talk to, especially if you have gradually lost your confidence over the years You need the support from people who see you as a person and not just a mum or a wife. It’s really given me the confidence to speak up again, to join in and be part of the society.
4 Why did the author choose a university
A. To teach arts. B. To get a degree.
C. To follow her passion. D. To find a better job.
5. What prevented the author going to university when she was young
A. Keeping a science degree. B. Taking care of her parents.
C. Being nervous about study. D. Showing no interest in university.
6. What did the author benefit from her experience
A. She got on better with her old friends.
B. She learned to be stricter with herself.
C. She was more responsible for her housework.
D. She became more confident to express herself.
7. Which maybe the best title for the text
A. It Is Never Too Old to Learn.
B. Hard Work Is the Key to Success.
C. Family Support Is of Great Importance.
D. Volunteering Is Helpful in Developing Friendship.
C
It may sound a bit “Dr. Doolittle,” but it turns out kangaroos can communicate with humans. Researchers found that kangaroos communicated with humans “on purpose”--a behavior that was thought to only belong to domesticated(驯养的)animals, like dogs, horses or goats.
Experts from London's University of Roehampton and the University of Sydney set up a task. This task was known as “the unsolvable problem task” During the task, they presented kangaroos with food trapped inside a plastic container.
After trying, and failing, to open the boxes, the kangaroos turned their gaze(注视)on a nearby human - and sometimes even pushed or scratched(抓) them to ask for help, researchers said.
“Their gaze was pretty powerful, co-author Alexandra Green said. "We've previously thought only domesticated animals try to ask for help with a problem. But kangaroos do it too. If they can't open the box, they look at the human and back to the container. Some of them use their nose to push the human and some get close to the human and start scratching at him asking for assistance.,,
Based on these new findings, the team believe kangaroos - considered social animals, like dogs and goats --may be able to change their behavior to interact with humans.
“Through this study, we are able to see that communication between animals can be learnt and that the behaviour of gazing at humans to get food is not related to domestication lead author Alan McElligott said.
“Indeed, kangaroos showed a very similar pattern of behaviour we have seen in dogs, horses and even goats when put to the same test,“ McElligott added.
8. What have the researchers found about kangaroos
A. Kangaroos can become domestic animals.
B. Kangaroos can communicate with humans.
C. Kangaroos can learn from domestic animals.
D. Kangaroos have the same habits as domestic animals.
9. What does the underlined word “trapped“ mean in Paragraph 2
A. Removed. B. Hidden. C. Kept. D. Saved.
10. What are the researchers’ findings based on
A. Observations. B. Previous data.
C. Making comparison. D. Making a survey.
11. In which part of a newspaper is this text most probably taken from
A. Travel. B. Education. C. Technology. D. Science.

When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted.
