Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.
That's when I got an email from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens There's one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking, I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he'll stop. But we just call him and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us.
A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new farm cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn't matter that he can't see. He always knows when Bear is around. He'll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle. They'll lie down in the grass together when tired.
Jack is truly an inspiration. I've owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn't feel sorry for himself. He doesn't need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don't have disabilities, they have adaptability.
4. Why did Jack come to our home
A. I liked an eyeless cat. B. I didn't mind whether he was blind.
C. No other young cats kept him company. D. My friend ordered me to take him home.

A. Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.
B. Jack is good at talking and playing with people.
C. Jack quickly adapts to the new environment.
D. Jack and Bear lie down on the sofa together when tired.

C. God helps those who help themselves. D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a combination of unusually heavy rain and rapid snow melt. The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated (隔绝的). Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.
The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which heavily depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone and could take years to rebuild.
Park officials have begun work on improving an alternative road to Gardiner. This will ensure that locals can access food, supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.
Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely (无限期地). But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even numbers can go on even days.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is home to a lot of unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.
8. What can be inferred from the second paragraph
A. Gardiner’s economy would suffer a lot.
B. Communities and homes were left in ruins.
C. Almost 900 people were trapped in the park.
D. The town of Gardiner was slightly affected.
9. What can we learn from the text
A. Local people can get daily necessities from visitors.
B. The forces of flood and snow shaped the park over years.
C. The park has adopted a new system to avoid overcrowding.
D. More tourists may pack into the park for geological features.
10. What can be the best title for the text
A. Flooding Has Caused Widespread Damage in the US
B Yellowstone National Park Was Closed due to Flooding
C. Natural Beauty Makes Yellowstone America’s Oldest Park
D. Yellowstone National Park Partially Reopens After Flooding
11. Where is this text most likely from
A A guidebook. B. A news report. C. A research paper. D. A fiction.
D
Despite the fact that parrots are well known for their long lives and complex cognition (认知), it remains unknown whether the two traits (特征) have influenced each other.
“The problem has been sourcing good quality data,” said Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (MPI-AB) and lead author of a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B that tried to solve this question.
Scientists from the MPI-AB and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EvA) teamed up with Species360 to compile data from over 130,000 individual parrots sourced from over 1,000 zoos to find the average life span of 217 parrot species.
The analysis revealed an astonishing diversity in life expectancy, ranging from an average of two years for the fig parrot up to an average of 30 years for the scarlet macaw.
Next, the team tried to determine whether or not parrots’ renowned cognitive abilities had any influence on their longevity. Their results support the theory that increased brain size has enabled longer lifespans. Because brain size relative to body size can be an indicator of intelligence, the findings suggested that the parrots with larger brains were able to survive for longer in the wild.
The scientists were surprised that factors such as diet, or the greater developmental time required to develop larger brains, did not lead to longer average lifespans. “We would have expected the developmental path to play a more important role because in primates it is this developmental cost that explains the link between brain size and longevity,” said Smeele.
In the future, the team plan to explore if sociality and cultural learning in parrots might have also contributed to long lifespans. Smeele said: “Large-brained birds might spend more time socially learning foraging (觅食) techniques that have been around for multiple generations. This increased learning period could potentially also explain the longer life spans, as it takes more time but also makes the foraging repertoire (全部技能) more adaptive.”
12. What did the study aim to find out about parrots
A. The diversity in their life expectancies.
B. The factors that influence their intelligence.
C. The traits that help them survive in the wild.
D. The link between their cognition and life spans.
13. How did the researchers carry out their study
A. By surveying over 1,000 zoos. B. By examining parrots’ brains.
C. By analyzing the collected data. D. By observing parrots’ behavior.
14. Which is a possible cause of parrots’ longevity
A. Their diet. B. Their body size.
C. Their larger brains. D. Their brains development time.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Supporting evidence for the research results.
B. Potential applications of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. Further research based on current findings.

Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.
That's when I got an email from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens There's one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking, I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he'll stop. But we just call him and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us.
A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new farm cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn't matter that he can't see. He always knows when Bear is around. He'll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle. They'll lie down in the grass together when tired.
Jack is truly an inspiration. I've owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn't feel sorry for himself. He doesn't need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don't have disabilities, they have adaptability.

A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a combination of unusually heavy rain and rapid snow melt. The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated (隔绝的). Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.
The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which heavily depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone and could take years to rebuild.
Park officials have begun work on improving an alternative road to Gardiner. This will ensure that locals can access food, supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.
Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely (无限期地). But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even numbers can go on even days.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is home to a lot of unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.
8. What can be inferred from the second paragraph
A. Gardiner’s economy would suffer a lot.
B. Communities and homes were left in ruins.
C. Almost 900 people were trapped in the park.
D. The town of Gardiner was slightly affected.
9. What can we learn from the text
A. Local people can get daily necessities from visitors.
B. The forces of flood and snow shaped the park over years.
C. The park has adopted a new system to avoid overcrowding.
D. More tourists may pack into the park for geological features.
10. What can be the best title for the text
A. Flooding Has Caused Widespread Damage in the US
B. Yellowstone National Park Was Closed due to Flooding
C. Natural Beauty Makes Yellowstone America’s Oldest Park
D. Yellowstone National Park Partially Reopens After Flooding
11. Where is this text most likely from

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Gardiner’s economy, which heavily depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone and could take years to rebuild.(加德纳的经济严重依赖于每年通过公园北门的近75万游客，这可能会受到打击。洪水严重破坏了通往黄石公园的主要北部入口道路，可能需要数年时间才能重建。)”可知，加德纳的经济严重依赖于黄石公园的游客，公园遭遇洪水，经济受损，由此可推知，加德纳的经济会受打击。故选A项。

主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句话“A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022.( 2022年6月13日，黄石国家公园遭遇洪水袭击。)”以及第四段“Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely (无限期地). But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding.(黄石公园的北门无限期关闭。但该公园的南门于2022年6月22日向游客开放。公园管理人员已经启动了一个新的进入系统，以防止过度拥挤。)”可知，黄石国家公园在经历洪水袭击后，将部分开放，D项“Yellowstone National Park Partially Reopens After Flooding(洪水过后，黄石国家公园部分重新开放)”最能概括本文内容。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。阅读文章内容可知，文章第一段“A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022.(2022年6月13日，黄石国家公园遭遇洪水袭击。)”直接给出主题：黄石国家公园遭遇洪水袭击；第二段介绍了受灾情况；第三段、第四段介绍了公园的应对措施；最后一段介绍了黄石公园的概况。由此可推知，这是一篇新闻报道，最有可能摘自新闻报告中。故选B项。
D
Despite the fact that parrots are well known for their long lives and complex cognition (认知), it remains unknown whether the two traits (特征) have influenced each other.
“The problem has been sourcing good quality data,” said Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (MPI-AB) and lead author of a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B that tried to solve this question.
Scientists from the MPI-AB and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EvA) teamed up with Species360 to compile data from over 130,000 individual parrots sourced from over 1,000 zoos to find the average life span of 217 parrot species.
The analysis revealed an astonishing diversity in life expectancy, ranging from an average of two years for the fig parrot up to an average of 30 years for the scarlet macaw.
Next, the team tried to determine whether or not parrots’ renowned cognitive abilities had any influence on their longevity. Their results support the theory that increased brain size has enabled longer lifespans. Because brain size relative to body size can be an indicator of intelligence, the findings suggested that the parrots with larger brains were able to survive for longer in the wild.
The scientists were surprised that factors such as diet, or the greater developmental time required to develop larger brains, did not lead to longer average lifespans. “We would have expected the developmental path to play a more important role because in primates it is this developmental cost that explains the link between brain size and longevity,” said Smeele.
In the future, the team plan to explore if sociality and cultural learning in parrots might have also contributed to long lifespans. Smeele said: “Large-brained birds might spend more time socially learning foraging (觅食) techniques that have been around for multiple generations. This increased learning period could potentially also explain the longer life spans, as it takes more time but also makes the foraging repertoire (全部技能) more adaptive.”
12. What did the study aim to find out about parrots
A. The diversity in their life expectancies.
B. The factors that influence their intelligence.
C. The traits that help them survive in the wild.
D. The link between their cognition and life spans.
13 How did the researchers carry out their study
A. By surveying over 1,000 zoos. B. By examining parrots’ brains.
C. By analyzing the collected data. D. By observing parrots’ behavior.
14. Which is a possible cause of parrots’ longevity
A. Their diet. B. Their body size.
C. Their larger brains. D. Their brains development time.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Supporting evidence for the research results.
B. Potential applications of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. Further research based on current findings.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了关于鹦鹉寿命和认知能力之间的关系。研究人员借助数据分析发现，鹦鹉的寿命存在着巨大的多样性，大脑大小与寿命之间存在着正相关关系。然而，饮食和大脑发育时间等因素并没有对鹦鹉的寿命产生显著影响。未来，研究人员计划探索社群性和文化学习对鹦鹉寿命的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Despite the fact that parrots are well known for their long lives and complex cognition (认知), it remains unknown whether the two traits (特征) have influenced each other. (尽管鹦鹉以长寿和复杂的认知能力而闻名，但这两种特征是否相互影响仍不清楚。)”和第二段““The problem has been sourcing good quality data,” said Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (MPI-AB) and lead author of a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B that tried to solve this question.(马克斯·普朗克动物行为研究所(MPI-AB)的博士生西蒙·斯梅尔(Simeon Smeele)说:“问题在于如何获取高质量的数据。”他在《英国皇家学会学报B》(Proceedings of The Royal Society B)上发表了一项研究，试图解决这个问题。)”可知，尽管鹦鹉以长寿和复杂的认知能力而闻名，但这两种特征是否相互影响仍不清楚，因此该研究的目的是弄清楚鹦鹉的认知和寿命之间的联系。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Scientists from the MPI-AB and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EvA) teamed up with Species360 to compile data from over 130,000 individual parrots sourced from over 1,000 zoos to find the average life span of 217 parrot species. (MPI-AB和马克斯·普朗克进化人类学研究所的科学家与物种360合作，从1000多家动物园的130000多只鹦鹉个体中收集数据，以找出217种鹦鹉的平均寿命。)”可知，研究者们通过分析所收集的数据的方式来实施研究。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Because brain size relative to body size can be an indicator of intelligence, the findings suggested that the parrots with larger brains were able to survive for longer in the wild. (因为相对于身体大小的大脑大小可以作为智力的一个指标，研究结果表明，大脑较大的鹦鹉能够在野外生存更长时间。)”可知，大脑较大的鹦鹉能够在野外生存更长时间即更大的大脑可能是鹦鹉长寿的原因之一。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“In the future, the team plan to explore if sociality and cultural learning in parrots might have also contributed to long lifespans. (未来，研究小组计划探索鹦鹉的社会性和文化学习是否也可能有助于延长寿命。)”可知，未来研究小组将在现有研究的基础上，探索鹦鹉的社会性和文化学习是否也有助于延长寿命，即基于当前发现的进一步研究。故选D。
