Njobati, a young woman from Cameroon, faced a challenging journey when she moved from her English-speaking area to a French-speaking area of the country to attend university. The sharp differences between these areas, once part of the British and French empires, made it difficult for her to fit in, which led her to examine her own identity—who she truly was.
Seeking guidance, she turned to her grandfather who also felt disconnected from his own culture. He expressed sadness about what the Nso had lost both culturally and materially, including Ngonnso statue. Ngonnso was the founder of Nso dating back to the 14th Century, whose statue was an important cultural symbol for the Nso. However, it was taken by the Germans in 1902 and has been housed in Berlin’s Ethnological Museum ever since.
Inspired by her grandfather’s desire and saddened by the loss of culture, Njobati made a promise to bring back the statue. She believed it would not only achieve her grandfather’s wish but connect her with her Nso heritage again.
Njobati did many researches about the statue and former unsuccessful attempts. She realized that restitution (归还) was actually about facing the colonial ( 殖民主义的) past. Njobati decided to try differently. To gather support online and offline, Njobati began a grassroots campaign. She organized meetings in community halls and churches, met people one-on-one, and used the power of social media.Through Twitter, she established contact with the Ethnological Museum.
Njobati’s tireless efforts paid off. She was told that a decision about Ngonnso statue was coming, which was an important moment for her.
“Finally, this is happening. Not just for me, but for the Nso people, and for Cameroon,” She cried. “This also lends a hand to other communities that are seeking justice for stolen culture relics.”
24. What made Njobati decide to bring back the Ngonnso statue
A. Her interest in colonial history.
B. Her grandfather’s identity problem.
C. Her desire to reconnect with Nso culture.
D. Her experience in attending university.

C. The grassroots campaign. D. The return of the statue.
27. What can be a suitable title for the passage

Macquarie Island is a tiny island that’s part of Australia. It’s about halfway between New Zealand and Antarctica. The island’s been made a world heritage area because it’s so untouched, but this unique environment is under threat from some unwanted visitors.
It all started when seal hunters came to the island in the early 1800s. They brought rabbits with them as a source of food for the journey, and also on board the ships were rats and mice, which made their way onto the island too. They’re being blamed for destroying the homes of marine birds, causing soil loss and ripping up plant cover, as these before-and-after photos show.
So what’s being done about the problem It starts with a team of helicopters that fly across the island carrying these giant containers. Inside them are poisoned pellets (有毒饲料) which are dropped and spread across the island. For any rabbits that survived the baiting (诱饵) , there’s a plan B. This special team of dogs is being put through a final training. It’ll be their job to track down any remaining rabbits. They have to also learn to behave around the island’s native wildlife. The dogs could be here for years or until the task is complete. The dogs don’t actually kill the rabbits. They find them, then the hunters decide to either catch the rabbits or shoot them.
But the program has received a bit of criticism. Some people argue 25 million dollars is a lot of money to be spending on wiping out rabbits and rodents (啮齿目动物), and in the process, some native birds will be killed because of the baiting.
The reality is the problem isn’t going to be solved overnight. The people running the program say that even if one pair of rabbits is left alive, the whole task will be seen as a failure, which means these guys could be here for a long time, trying to ensure that this precious island remains protected from pests.
28. Who are these unwanted visitors
A. Seal hunters. B. Marine wildlife. C. Native birds. D. Foreign species.
29. What do the underlined words “ripping up” mean in paragraph 2
A. Advancing. B. Destroying. C. Dividing D. Balancing
30. What is being done to solve the problem of unwanted visitors on Macquarie Island
A. Poisoned pellets are being dropped on the island from helicopters.
B. A team of hunters is being trained to catch or shoot rabbits.
C. Native birds are being protected from the unwanted visitors.
D. A special team of dogs is being sent to kill the rabbits.
31. What is the goal of the program
A. To spend as little money as possible.
B. To protect native birds from the unwanted visitors.
C. To ensure that no pair of rabbits survive on the island.
D. To train dogs to track down the rabbits on the island.
D
Why do we talk the way we do It might date back to when our ancestors left the jungle for the open plain. Between 5.3 million and 16 million years ago, Africa’s landscapes changed from thick, leafy forests to wide-open grasslands. This environmental change pushed our ancestors out of the trees and onto the ground. Along with all of the physical and behavioral changes this may have caused, researchers also believe it may have changed the way we speak.
“Open landscapes provide us with fewer objects to affect signal communication, meaning our voices can travel further compared with that in thick forests,” Charlotte Gannon, a researcher who studies language development, told Newsweek. “The move to these open spaces may have increased the effectiveness of our communication.”
By comparing the vocal calls of the orangutan (大猩猩) , Gannon and her team were able to establish how different calls could travel across different landscapes. In their study, the team played 487 calls from orangutans and measured their audibility (可听度) at set length over an overall distance of over 1,300 feet in the South African plain.
“Our results were surprising,” Gannon said, “The rule of sound spread suggests that lower-frequency (低频率) sounds (the grumphs) would have traveled further than higher-frequency sounds (the kiss squeaks). Our results actually found the opposite to this.” In these environmental settings, consonant (辅音)-like calls traveled a lot further than vowel (元音) -like calls. Actually, around 80 percent of consonant-based calls were audible at 1,300 feet, compared to only 20 percent of vowel-based calls.
Gannon said these results highlight the importance of studying living orangutan to learn about our species’ history. “We can view them as time machines that allow us to recreate key moments of our history so we can learn more about the development of our language,” Gannon said. “Despite their popularity in modern languages, consonants have often been forgotten when discussing speech development. Our research highlights not only their presence in ancient times but their importance to the development of language.”
32 What led to the speech development
A. Behavioral change. B. Time development.
C. Physical development. D. Environmental change.
33. What makes communication happening 10 million years ago more effective
A. Less block. B. Better tools. C. Louder voice. D. Larger vocabulary.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The results of the study.
B. The process of the research.
C. The purpose of the program.
D. The participants of the project.
35. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. The living orangutan can recreate our language.
B. Consonants are significant in language development.
C. The sound of grumphs travels further than that of kiss squeaks.
D. Consonant-like calls travel four times further than vowel-like calls.

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My two-year-old daughter and I often get smiles from strangers as we walk through our town with Clara riding in her backpack, singing and swinging her feet.
I felt extra grateful for my sunny little girl on one walk at the end of April, 2006. Just three days before she woke up from her nap (小睡) with a fever. We spent a tough evening in the emergency room. Any parent or child is frightened by such an experience. So it was a great feeling that Clara was so happy that day.
We were heading home from a local grocery store, which wisely gives out free balloons to children. Clara always looks forward to getting a balloon there. She did an especially nice job — waiting patiently in the long queue at the store. Luckily, her patience was rewarded with a pink balloon. Pink means a lot to her, especially these days, since the medicine she is taking for the high fever is bubble-gum pink.
Clara was so happy that she started singing “Mister Golden Sun” to her balloon. But when we walked under a tree, POP! There went the balloon. Clara immediately burst into tears. “My pink balloon popped!” She has had many balloons before, but is always very careful with them. This was the first time that she had had such an upsetting experience. Heart-broken, she stared at her poor short-life luck, out of control.
A college-aged young man, about 21, with light brown hair, who was walking behind us noticed Clara’s tears. He was clearly preparing for an important date, as he was carrying a bouquet (束) of a dozen pink roses. He quickened his pace and asked Clara what had happened. Unfortunately, Clara was too shy and upset to answer, but I briefly described the situation, deeply touched that a young guy, probably hurrying home to get ready for a date, would stop to comfort a little child.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为 100 左右；
2.续写部分为一段，开头语已为你写好。
Clara was still crying, unable to say a single word.

推理判断题。根据第一段“Macquarie Island is a tiny island that’s part of Australia. It’s about halfway between New Zealand and Antarctica. The island’s been made a world heritage area because it’s so untouched, but this unique environment is under threat from some unwanted visitors.(麦夸里岛是澳大利亚的一个小岛。它位于新西兰和南极洲之间。该岛被列为世界遗产，因为它是如此的原始，但这种独特的环境正受到一些不速之客的威胁)”以及第二段“It all started when seal hunters came to the island in the early 1800s. They brought rabbits with them as a source of food for the journey, and also on board the ships were rats and mice, which made their way onto the island too.(这一切都始于19世纪初海豹猎人来到这座岛屿。他们带着兔子作为旅途的食物来源，船上还有老鼠，它们也来到了岛上)”可知，这些不速之客是指外国的物种。故选D项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“They’re being blamed for destroying the homes of marine birds(它们被指责破坏了海鸟的家园)”可知，它们破坏了海鸟的家园，所以应是破坏了植被，推知ripping up是“破坏”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“So what’s being done about the problem It starts with a team of helicopters that fly across the island carrying these giant containers. Inside them are poisoned pellets (有毒饲料) which are dropped and spread across the island.(那么针对这个问题我们采取了什么措施呢 一开始，一队直升机载着这些巨大的集装箱飞越岛屿。它们里面是有毒的颗粒，这些颗粒会掉下来，扩散到整个岛屿)”可知，为解决Macquarie Island不速之客的问题，直升飞机正在向岛上投放有毒的弹丸。故选A项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The people running the program say that even if one pair of rabbits is left alive, the whole task will be seen as a failure, which means these guys could be here for a long time, trying to ensure that this precious island remains protected from pests.(负责这个项目的人说，即使有一对兔子活着，整个任务也会被视为失败，这意味着这些人可能会在这里待很长时间，试图确保这个珍贵的岛屿免受害虫的侵害)”可知，这个项目的目标是确保没有一对兔子在岛上存活。故选C项。
D
Why do we talk the way we do It might date back to when our ancestors left the jungle for the open plain. Between 5.3 million and 16 million years ago, Africa’s landscapes changed from thick, leafy forests to wide-open grasslands. This environmental change pushed our ancestors out of the trees and onto the ground. Along with all of the physical and behavioral changes this may have caused, researchers also believe it may have changed the way we speak.
“Open landscapes provide us with fewer objects to affect signal communication, meaning our voices can travel further compared with that in thick forests,” Charlotte Gannon, a researcher who studies language development, told Newsweek. “The move to these open spaces may have increased the effectiveness of our communication.”
By comparing the vocal calls of the orangutan (大猩猩) , Gannon and her team were able to establish how different calls could travel across different landscapes. In their study, the team played 487 calls from orangutans and measured their audibility (可听度) at set length over an overall distance of over 1,300 feet in the South African plain.
“Our results were surprising,” Gannon said, “The rule of sound spread suggests that lower-frequency (低频率) sounds (the grumphs) would have traveled further than higher-frequency sounds (the kiss squeaks). Our results actually found the opposite to this.” In these environmental settings, consonant (辅音)-like calls traveled a lot further than vowel (元音) -like calls. Actually, around 80 percent of consonant-based calls were audible at 1,300 feet, compared to only 20 percent of vowel-based calls.
Gannon said these results highlight the importance of studying living orangutan to learn about our species’ history. “We can view them as time machines that allow us to recreate key moments of our history so we can learn more about the development of our language,” Gannon said. “Despite their popularity in modern languages, consonants have often been forgotten when discussing speech development. Our research highlights not only their presence in ancient times but their importance to the development of language.”
32. What led to the speech development
A. Behavioral change. B. Time development.
C. Physical development. D. Environmental change.
33. What makes communication happening 10 million years ago more effective
A. Less block. B. Better tools. C. Louder voice. D. Larger vocabulary.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The results of the study.
B. The process of the research.
C. The purpose of the program.
D. The participants of the project.
35. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. The living orangutan can recreate our language.
B. Consonants are significant in language development.
C. The sound of grumphs travels further than that of kiss squeaks.
D. Consonant-like calls travel four times further than vowel-like calls.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。专注于探讨人类语言发展的可能历史及其与古人类生活环境变化之间的关系。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Why do we talk the way we do It might date back to when our ancestors left the jungle for the open plain. Between 5.3 million and 16 million years ago, Africa’s landscapes changed from thick, leafy forests to wide-open grasslands. This environmental change pushed our ancestors out of the trees and onto the ground. Along with all of the physical and behavioral changes this may have caused, researchers also believe it may have changed the way we speak.(我们为什么要这样说话 这可能要追溯到我们的祖先离开丛林来到开阔平原的时候。在530万到1600万年前，非洲的地貌从茂密的森林变成了开阔的草原。这种环境变化把我们的祖先从树上推到了地上。除了可能引起的身体和行为变化外，研究人员还认为它可能改变了我们说话的方式)”可知，环境变化导致了语言的发展。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““Open landscapes provide us with fewer objects to affect signal communication, meaning our voices can travel further compared with that in thick forests,” Charlotte Gannon, a researcher who studies language development, told Newsweek. “The move to these open spaces may have increased the effectiveness of our communication.”(研究语言发展的研究人员夏洛特·甘农在接受《新闻周刊》采访时表示：“开阔的景观为我们提供了更少的物体来影响信号交流，这意味着与茂密的森林相比，我们的声音可以传播得更远。”“搬到这些开放空间可能提高了我们沟通的效率。”)”可推知，更少的阻碍让1000万年前的交流变得更有效。故选A项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意。根据第三段“By comparing the vocal calls of the orangutan (大猩猩) , Gannon and her team were able to establish how different calls could travel across different landscapes. In their study, the team played 487 calls from orangutans and measured their audibility (可听度) at set length over an overall distance of over 1,300 feet in the South African plain.(通过比较猩猩的叫声，甘农和她的团队能够确定不同的叫声是如何在不同的景观中传播的。在他们的研究中，研究小组播放了487个猩猩的叫声，并在南非平原上超过1300英尺的总距离上测量了它们的可听性)”可知，本段主要讲述了研究的过程。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In these environmental settings, consonant (辅音)-like calls traveled a lot further than vowel (元音) -like calls. Actually, around 80 percent of consonant-based calls were audible at 1,300 feet, compared to only 20 percent of vowel-based calls.(在这些环境中，类似辅音的叫声比类似元音的叫声传播得更远。实际上，在1300英尺的高空，大约80%的辅音通话都能被听到，而元音通话只有20%能被听到)”以及最后一段““We can view them as time machines that allow us to recreate key moments of our history so we can learn more about the development of our language,” Gannon said. “Despite their popularity in modern languages, consonants have often been forgotten when discussing speech development. Our research highlights not only their presence in ancient times but their importance to the development of language.”(甘农说：“我们可以把它们看作时光机，让我们重现历史上的关键时刻，这样我们就能更多地了解我们语言的发展。尽管辅音在现代语言中很受欢迎，但在讨论语言发展时却经常被遗忘。我们的研究不仅强调了它们在古代的存在，而且强调了它们对语言发展的重要性。”)”可推知，辅音在语言发展中很重要。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了北京的一些著名旅游景点，包括天安门广场、故宫、天坛、喇嘛庙、北京孔庙、北京动物园以及慕田峪长城。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这个广场非常大，位于北面，把北京和紫禁城分开。根据前文的“Tiananmen Square”可知，此处的square特指前文提到的Tiananmen Square，前应用定冠词修饰，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填The。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：紫禁城是一个令人惊叹的宫殿建筑群，里面有故宫博物院，从明朝到清末，它一直是中国的皇宫。分析句子结构可知，本句是that引导的定语从句，house作从句谓语，描述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语that代指先行词palace complex，为第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数形式，故填houses。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：天坛，包括喇嘛庙(雍和寺)，北京孔庙和北京动物园，也是值得推荐的。recommend作本句谓语，和主语The Temple of Heaven之间是被动关系，用被动语态，根据后文的is可知，用一般现在时，主语为单数。故填is recommended。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意：雍和宫是北京最具吸引力、保存最完好的寺庙之一。空处填名词作宾语，根据前文的one of可知，用复数形式。故填temples。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：该动物园是中国最古老的动物园之一，其历史可以追溯到1906年，是各种动物的家园。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词is，所以date用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语The zoo之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填dating。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意：长城并不位于北京市内，但如果你来过北京，你一定要去看看。根据句意，此处表达“没有去看过长城就离开”之意，所以空处应填without“没有”。故填without。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：有很多从北京出发的旅行团，其中一些会带你去慕田峪长城。分析句子结构可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是tours，在从句中作主语，用which或者that引导。故填which或者that。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：如果你不想在夏天被一大群人淹没，那就在冬天去参观长城。此处是固定搭配want to do sth.意为“想做某事”，所以此处应用不定式，又sweep和逻辑主语you之间是被动关系，用不定时的被动语态。故填to be swept。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：天气会很冷，但你会有更好的体验。空处修饰空后的形容词，用副词形式。故填extremely。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意：也会更容易拍出漂亮的照片。空前是系动词，所以空处应填形容词作表语，根据前文的better可知，此处用比较级。故填easier。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My two-year-old daughter and I often get smiles from strangers as we walk through our town with Clara riding in her backpack, singing and swinging her feet.
I felt extra grateful for my sunny little girl on one walk at the end of April, 2006. Just three days before she woke up from her nap (小睡) with a fever. We spent a tough evening in the emergency room. Any parent or child is frightened by such an experience. So it was a great feeling that Clara was so happy that day.
We were heading home from a local grocery store, which wisely gives out free balloons to children. Clara always looks forward to getting a balloon there. She did an especially nice job — waiting patiently in the long queue at the store. Luckily, her patience was rewarded with a pink balloon. Pink means a lot to her, especially these days, since the medicine she is taking for the high fever is bubble-gum pink.
Clara was so happy that she started singing “Mister Golden Sun” to her balloon. But when we walked under a tree, POP! There went the balloon. Clara immediately burst into tears. “My pink balloon popped!” She has had many balloons before, but is always very careful with them. This was the first time that she had had such an upsetting experience. Heart-broken, she stared at her poor short-life luck, out of control.
A college-aged young man, about 21, with light brown hair, who was walking behind us noticed Clara’s tears. He was clearly preparing for an important date, as he was carrying a bouquet (束) of a dozen pink roses. He quickened his pace and asked Clara what had happened. Unfortunately, Clara was too shy and upset to answer, but I briefly described the situation, deeply touched that a young guy, probably hurrying home to get ready for a date, would stop to comfort a little child.

【答案】
Clara was still crying, unable to say a single word. The young man gently drew one rose from his bouquet and handed it to Clara, comforting her that it was pink just like her balloon. But sadly still no response. He then joked he was in trouble for girls didn’t like his flowers, tucking the rose into Clara’s backpack and waving goodbye to us. Shortly after he was too far away to hear, Clara murmured “Thank you” in a quiet voice and waved back. Then she picked up the rose, and cupped it in her hands the rest of the way home. A block later, Clara was singing to her flower happily.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。回家的路上，路过一家杂货店，女儿耐心地排着长队从杂货店得到了一个粉色气球。粉红色对她来说意味着很多，尤其是最近，因为她正在吃的退烧药是泡泡糖粉色的。但是一不小心，气球爆炸了。克拉拉立刻哭了起来。走在后面的一个大约21岁、浅棕色头发的大学生，注意到了克拉拉的眼泪。他显然是在为一个重要的约会做准备，因为他手里拿着一束粉红色的玫瑰。得知情况后，年轻人停下来安慰孩子。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由句首内容“克拉拉还在哭，一句话也说不出来。”可知，这一段可以描写年轻人安慰克拉拉，以及孩子的反应和感受。
2.续写线索：停下来安慰——说不出来——给玫瑰——感谢——高兴
