I remembered an incident when I was a teenage girl clearly. Once, I was travelling by train with my mum and my elder sister to visit my grandparents in another city. It was a day journey and we entered the ladies compartment (车室) of the train. It was crowded but we got seats and settled down. We kept our luggage under the seats and waited for the train to start.
Ladies kept on coming inside. The seats were quickly taken. Only one seat was empty when a woman with a baby entered. She was about to go over to the empty place when a big and strong man entered and walked to the seat quickly, sitting down with a thump (重击声). Therefore, the lady with the child held on to her bag and stood in the corner. I was watching all this angrily. I expected the woman standing there or any of the other ladies to speak out to ask the man to leave the ladies compartment.
However, no one spoke. My mum and my sister had their eyes shut to rest, unaware of anything wrong. I decided I could not disturb them. I could have offered my place but I was already squashed (挤扁) between my mum and my sister.
The train started. The woman standing beside the man was swaying to and fro with the train, with the screaming child in her arms. However, the manner-less man had no reaction. I was very angry with the man for his bad behaviour. I could no longer bear it, so I decided to help the woman in some way. I got up and walked calmly over to the man. I asked him if he could read. He made a bad face and said he could. Next, I asked him to read what was written on the back of his seat. He did so and saw “Ladies” on it. He got the point and left the compartment in a big hurry, almost falling.

A. To visit her grandparents.
B. To move to another city.
C. To survey an incident.
D. To spend her summer holiday.

A. She asked him to leave at once.
B. She fought with the man bravely.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和母亲以及姐姐坐火车去看祖父母，在火车上看到一个男人走进了女士车厢，并把最后一个空位占了，导致一个带着孩子的女士只能站着，作者很生气，最后她想办法提醒了那位男士这是女士车厢，让他羞愧离去。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Once, I was travelling by train with my mum and my elder sister to visit my grandparents in another city.(有一次，我和妈妈、姐姐坐火车去另一个城市看望爷爷奶奶)”可知，作者要去看望祖父母，所以才坐火车。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“She was about to go over to the empty place when a big and strong man entered and walked to the seat quickly, sitting down with a thump (重击声). Therefore, the lady with the child held on to her bag and stood in the corner.(她正要走到那个空位子上，这时一个高大强壮的男人走了进来，迅速走到座位前，砰的一声坐了下来。因此，带孩子的女士抓住她的包站在角落里)”可知，一个男人坐了车厢里的最后一个空位，所以带着孩子的女士只能站在角落里。故选C。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“The train started. The woman standing beside the man was swaying to and fro with the train, with the screaming child in her arms. (火车开动了。这位站在男人旁边的女人抱着尖叫的孩子，随着火车前后swaying)”中的“The train started”以及“to and fro with the train”可知，火车开动了，这位站着抱孩子的女人随着火车前后摇晃，此处swaying指“摇摆，摇晃”，与swing的意思接近。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I got up and walked calmly over to the man. I asked him if he could read. He made a bad face and said he could. Next, I asked him to read what was written on the back of his seat. He did so and saw “Ladies” on it. He got the point and left the compartment in a big hurry, almost falling.(我站起来，平静地向那个人走去。我问他是否识字。他做了个鬼脸，说他可以。接下来，我让他看写在椅背上的字。他照做了，看到上面写着‘女士们’。他明白了，匆忙地离开了车厢，差点摔倒)”可知，作者通过提醒男人看椅背上的字“Ladies(女士们)”，让他知道这是女士车厢，意识到自己的错误。故选D。
C
For better or worse, we might be in the Age of the Group Chat. In a recent survey, most people said they felt stressed out by group messages, which can feel like a part-time job.
Connection is wonderful. Grexts, short for group texts, have the feature of imitating(模仿) the casual back-and-forth of a dialogue, and the result can be more dynamic and fun than a two-person thread. Having a chat going also means you have a space to share your updates throughout the day, a reminder that you’re part of something.
Some researchers call this “ambient(周围的) virtual presence”: Even when you’re alone, you’re not alone. One researcher compares this phenomenon to echolocation(回声定位), the process that some animals, such as bats and dolphins, use to locate objects: They produce a continuous sound and use the resulting echo to sense their surroundings. Humans might use technologies such as group chats in a similar way—as a call-and-response, taking in information about their social networks and locating themselves within those webs.
But taking in too many signals can be overwhelming. Professor Bayer argued that group chats can create a “waterfall type of effect”, where messages keep flooding in and adding up. Eventually, you’re underwater. Another researcher suggested that different chat members all bring their own personalities, communication styles, and expectations for group norms. Without a standard etiquette(礼仪), people have varied opinions about what degree of responsiveness is required—which can cause real tension.
Grext anxiety is hard to resolve because it isn’t just about the group-chat or even mobile technology in general; it’s about the tension between being our own person and being responsible to others. Ultimately, most of us do want connection, even if it involves some duties. A general advice is to give up greats that don’t really interest you.
8. What is the feature of Grexts
A. Being more wonderful than a dialogue.
B. Keeping as fun as a two-person thread.
C. Sharing your updates throughout the day.
D. Imitating the casual back-and-forth of communication.
9. How might humans use group chats like echolocation
A. By producing a continuous sound.
B. By detecting some bats and dolphins.
C. By using the resulting echo to sense their surroundings.
D. By taking in information about social networks and locating themselves.
10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A Problems caused by group chats.
B. Importance of a standard etiquette.
C. Messages keeping flooding in and adding up.
D. What degree of responsiveness is required.
11. What can we infer about group chat from the text
A. It is a part-time job.
B. It is just a way to keep relationship.
C. It brings us more fright than pleasure.
D. It helps us find true friends.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了群发短信的原因和影响，以及人们应该怎样处理这种情况。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Grexts, short for group texts, have the feature of imitating(模仿) the casual back-and-forth of a dialogue, and the result can be more dynamic and fun than a two-person thread. (Grexts是群组文本的缩写，具有模仿随意的对话的特点，其结果可能比两个人的对话更有活力、更有趣。)”可知，Grexts的特点是可以模仿随意的对话。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Humans might use technologies such as group chats in a similar way—as a call-and-response, taking in information about their social networks and locating themselves within those webs.(人类可能以类似的方式使用群聊等技术——作为一种呼叫和回应，获取有关其社交网络的信息，并将自己定位在这些网络中。)”可知，人类通过获取有关社交网络的信息并定位自己。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段的主要内容“But taking in too many signals can be overwhelming. Professor Bayer argued that group chats can create a “waterfall type of effect”, where messages keep flooding in and adding up. Eventually, you’re underwater. Another researcher suggested that different chat members all bring their own personalities, communication styles, and expectations for group norms. Without a standard etiquette(礼仪), people have varied opinions about what degree of responsiveness is required—which can cause real tension.(但接收太多信号可能会让人不知所措。拜尔教授认为，群聊会产生一种“瀑布效应”，信息不断涌入，不断累积。最终，你会在水下。另一位研究人员表示，不同的聊天成员都有自己的个性、沟通方式和对群体规范的期望。如果没有标准的礼仪，人们对需要多大程度的回应有不同的看法——这可能会导致真正的紧张。)”可知，该段主要介绍了群聊产生的问题。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容特别是最后一段内容“Grext anxiety is hard to resolve because it isn’t just about the group-chat or even mobile technology in general; it’s about the tension between being our own person and being responsible to others. Ultimately, most of us do want connection, even if it involves some duties. A general advice is to give up greats that don’t really interest you.( Grext焦虑很难解决，因为它不仅仅是关于群聊，也是一般的移动技术；它是关于做自己和对他人负责之间的紧张关系。最终，我们大多数人都想要联系，即使这涉及到一些责任。一般的建议是放弃那些你不感兴趣的伟大作品。)”可知，文中提到了群聊带来的好处，也讨论了它引发的一些问题。由此我们可以推断，对于群聊，我们虽然需要它，但是也不要过分依赖它，不要让它影响自己的生活，它只是维护关系的一种方式而已。故选B。
D
The first apes evolved 20 million years ago in the forests where they would go up a tree to get their food, and then come back down to move on to the next tree. Getting out of a tree presents all kinds of new challenges. Big apes can’t afford to fall because it could kill or badly injure them. Natural selection would have favoured those with body structures that allowed them to descend(下来) safely.
Dartmouth researchers report in the journal Royal Society Open Science that apes probably evolved free-moving shoulders and flexible elbows to slow their descent from trees as gravity pulled on their heavier bodies. These flexible body parts passed on from ancestral apes would have allowed early humans to climb trees at night for safety and comedown in the daylight unhurt. When early humans transitioned from forests to open savannas(热带稀树草原), flexible shoulders and elbows were crucial for gathering food and using tools for hunting and defense.
The researchers used sports analysis and statistical software to study how primates(灵长目动物) like chimpanzees and small monkeys called mangabeys climbed in the wild. They found that chimps and mangabeys scaled(攀爬) trees similarly, with shoulders and elbows mostly bent close to the body. When descending, however, chimpanzees extended their arms above their heads to hold on to branches, much like a person using a ladder, to counteract(抵消) their heavier weight pulling them downward.
Luke Fannin, the lead author of the study, emphasized that their findings highlight the importance of “down climbing” in the evolution of apes and early humans. He explained, “Our research introduces the idea that down climbing played a significant role in shaping the structural differences between monkeys and apes, which eventually showed in humans.”
“Our field has thought about apes climbing up trees for a long time but we’ve been ignoring the second half of this behaviour,” said Professor Jeremy DeSilva. The findings are among the first to identify the significance of “down climbing” in the evolution of apes and early humans.
12. Why should big apes protect themselves from falling off a tree according to the text
A. To avoid being hurt or killed.
B. To avoid being hunted by humans.
C. To avoid being caught by other animals.
D. To avoid being laughed by other apes.
13. What do researchers use to study how primates climbed in the wild
A. A ladder.
B. Sports software.
C. Statistical analysis.
D. Sports analysis and statistical software.
14. What can be learned from Luke Fannin’s words
A. Apes became humans because of down climbing.
B. The second half of climbing up trees haven’t been ignored before.
C. Down climbing was essential in developing the differences between monkeys and apes.
D. Scientists has thought about apes climbing up trees for a short time.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Monkeys and Chimpanzees: Studies in Nature
B. Mangabeys and Mankind: A Common Study of Climbing
C Apes’ Climbing Methods: How to Descend Safely
D. Shoulders and Elbows: Evolved as Brakes(刹车) for Down Climbing Apes
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有关猿类爬树和下树的实验研究，说明了肩膀和肘部在猿类下树过程中发挥的重要作用，强调了研究猿类下树过程的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Big apes can’t afford to fall because it could kill or badly injure them. (大猿不能掉下来，因为这可能会杀死或严重伤害它们。)”可知，大猿避免从树上掉下来，是为了防止受伤或摔死。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The researchers used sports analysis and statistical software to study how primates(灵长目动物) like chimpanzees and small monkeys called mangabeys climbed in the wild. (研究人员使用运动分析和统计软件研究了黑猩猩和小猴子等灵长类动物如何在野外攀爬)”可知，研究人员利用运动分析和统计软件来研究灵长类动物是如何在野外爬树的。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Our research introduces the idea that down climbing played a significant role in shaping the structural differences between monkeys and apes, which eventually showed in humans(我们的研究引入了这样一种观点，即向下攀爬在形成猴子和猿类之间的结构差异方面发挥了重要作用，这一观点最终在人类身上得到了证明)”可知，Luke Fannin认为从树上下来对于形成猴子和猿的区别十分的重要。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段最后两句“They found that chimps and mangabeys scaled(攀爬) trees similarly, with shoulders and elbows mostly bent close to the body. When descending, however, chimpanzees extended their arms above their heads to hold on to branches, much like a person using a ladder, to counteract(抵消) their heavier weight pulling them downward.(他们发现黑猩猩和白眉猴爬树的方式相似，肩膀和肘部大多弯曲靠近身体。然而，在下降时，黑猩猩将手臂伸过头顶，抓住树枝，就像人用梯子一样，以抵消将树枝向下拉的更重重量。)”及第四段第一句“Luke Fannin, the lead author of the study, emphasized that their findings highlight the importance of “down climbing” in the evolution of apes and early humans (这项研究的主要作者卢克·范宁强调，他们的发现突出了“向下攀爬”在类人猿和早期人类进化中的重要性)”并结合文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了有关猿类爬树和下树的实验研究，说明了肩膀和肘部在猿类下树过程中发挥的重要作用。所以短文的最佳标题为“肩膀和肘部：进化为猿下树的刹车”。 故选D。

第二节 （满分25分）
47. 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。
It’s eight o’clock on Christmas morning, and my dad says he wants to listen to the news. My 11-year-old self is wondering why on Earth grown-ups would be interested in the news when there are important things to be done, such as handing out presents. And then, while I am only half-listening, something strange happens: the newsreader begins talking about a Christmas message. Hadn’t we heard that report earlier
My older brother, Colin, figures out what’s happening. “Pete, Pete, it’s a tape recorder! We’ve got our tape recorder!”
It finally dawns on me: my dad recorded the news and is playing it back now.
Colin and I had both been blind from birth. At the special school that Colin and I attended, a recorder of your own was the height of desire. However, realistic about family finances, we had no real expectations of getting one.
The tape recorder my dad bought us would have cost more than four times his weekly wage. He could only afford it by borrowing the money. I know my mum and dad would have thought long and hard before being in the debt.
The new toy controlled the rest of the Christmas holidays. Once we had mastered the controls, we recorded anything and everything: each other, our parents, the milkman, the dog... and we very quickly learned how much fun we could have with it.
It wasn’t the first time I had been attracted by a tape recorder. I vividly remember walking into a room when I was four and hearing a child’s tuneless singing. I stopped dead. “It’s you,” Dad said.
It turned out that he had borrowed a tape recorder. So for the first time, in the same way that a sighted child might react to seeing themselves in a mirror, I got the sense of myself as a separate person who existed outside my head and was experienced by other people.
I took my first steps down the path to my career as a broadcaster when I returned to school.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was lucky to be in a class of imaginative, creative and radio-obsessed (对广播痴迷的) boys.

After several years, I went into a radio station, hoping to become a broadcast journalist.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I was lucky to be in a class of imaginative, creative and radio-obsessed (对广播痴迷的) boys. And it wasn’t long before we started to make our own radio programmes. I would wander round the school with my microphone, recording my thoughts in the style of the voices I heard on the radio. What’s more, we started our own radio club, where I got professional guidance from my coach and acted as one of the hosts. I made rapid progress in the process. That’s when a big dream took root in my heart.
After several years, I went into a radio station, hoping to become a broadcast journalist. My first attempt failed due to my nervousness. Sadness seized me. Luckily, a producer at the radio station who was putting together a weekly programme for blind people asked if I would have a second try the next day. I made it. Later, I presented a news programme for the radio that my dad had never missed. Although by then he’d been dead, he’d have realized that his inspired Christmas present had changed my life.

I remembered an incident when I was a teenage girl clearly. Once, I was travelling by train with my mum and my elder sister to visit my grandparents in another city. It was a day journey and we entered the ladies compartment (车室) of the train. It was crowded but we got seats and settled down. We kept our luggage under the seats and waited for the train to start.
Ladies kept on coming inside. The seats were quickly taken. Only one seat was empty when a woman with a baby entered. She was about to go over to the empty place when a big and strong man entered and walked to the seat quickly, sitting down with a thump (重击声). Therefore, the lady with the child held on to her bag and stood in the corner. I was watching all this angrily. I expected the woman standing there or any of the other ladies to speak out to ask the man to leave the ladies compartment.
However, no one spoke. My mum and my sister had their eyes shut to rest, unaware of anything wrong. I decided I could not disturb them. I could have offered my place but I was already squashed (挤扁) between my mum and my sister.
The train started. The woman standing beside the man was swaying to and fro with the train, with the screaming child in her arms. However, the manner-less man had no reaction. I was very angry with the man for his bad behaviour. I could no longer bear it, so I decided to help the woman in some way. I got up and walked calmly over to the man. I asked him if he could read. He made a bad face and said he could. Next, I asked him to read what was written on the back of his seat. He did so and saw “Ladies” on it. He got the point and left the compartment in a big hurry, almost falling.

For better or worse, we might be in the Age of the Group Chat. In a recent survey, most people said they felt stressed out by group messages, which can feel like a part-time job.
Connection is wonderful. Grexts, short for group texts, have the feature of imitating(模仿) the casual back-and-forth of a dialogue, and the result can be more dynamic and fun than a two-person thread. Having a chat going also means you have a space to share your updates throughout the day, a reminder that you’re part of something.
Some researchers call this “ambient(周围的) virtual presence”: Even when you’re alone, you’re not alone. One researcher compares this phenomenon to echolocation(回声定位), the process that some animals, such as bats and dolphins, use to locate objects: They produce a continuous sound and use the resulting echo to sense their surroundings. Humans might use technologies such as group chats in a similar way—as a call-and-response, taking in information about their social networks and locating themselves within those webs.
But taking in too many signals can be overwhelming. Professor Bayer argued that group chats can create a “waterfall type of effect”, where messages keep flooding in and adding up. Eventually, you’re underwater. Another researcher suggested that different chat members all bring their own personalities, communication styles, and expectations for group norms. Without a standard etiquette(礼仪), people have varied opinions about what degree of responsiveness is required—which can cause real tension.
Grext anxiety is hard to resolve because it isn’t just about the group-chat or even mobile technology in general; it’s about the tension between being our own person and being responsible to others. Ultimately, most of us do want connection, even if it involves some duties. A general advice is to give up greats that don’t really interest you.
8. What is the feature of Grexts
A. Being more wonderful than a dialogue.
B. Keeping as fun as a two-person thread.
C. Sharing your updates throughout the day.
D. Imitating the casual back-and-forth of communication.
9. How might humans use group chats like echolocation
A. By producing a continuous sound.
B. By detecting some bats and dolphins.
C. By using the resulting echo to sense their surroundings.
D. By taking in information about social networks and locating themselves.
10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Problems caused by group chats.
B. Importance of a standard etiquette.
C. Messages keeping flooding in and adding up.
D. What degree of responsiveness is required.
11. What can we infer about group chat from the text
A. It is a part-time job.
B. It is just a way to keep relationship.
C. It brings us more fright than pleasure.
D. It helps us find true friends.

The first apes evolved 20 million years ago in the forests where they would go up a tree to get their food, and then come back down to move on to the next tree. Getting out of a tree presents all kinds of new challenges. Big apes can’t afford to fall because it could kill or badly injure them. Natural selection would have favoured those with body structures that allowed them to descend(下来) safely.
Dartmouth researchers report in the journal Royal Society Open Science that apes probably evolved free-moving shoulders and flexible elbows to slow their descent from trees as gravity pulled on their heavier bodies. These flexible body parts passed on from ancestral apes would have allowed early humans to climb trees at night for safety and comedown in the daylight unhurt. When early humans transitioned from forests to open savannas(热带稀树草原), flexible shoulders and elbows were crucial for gathering food and using tools for hunting and defense.
The researchers used sports analysis and statistical software to study how primates(灵长目动物) like chimpanzees and small monkeys called mangabeys climbed in the wild. They found that chimps and mangabeys scaled(攀爬) trees similarly, with shoulders and elbows mostly bent close to the body. When descending, however, chimpanzees extended their arms above their heads to hold on to branches, much like a person using a ladder, to counteract(抵消) their heavier weight pulling them downward.
Luke Fannin, the lead author of the study, emphasized that their findings highlight the importance of “down climbing” in the evolution of apes and early humans. He explained, “Our research introduces the idea that down climbing played a significant role in shaping the structural differences between monkeys and apes, which eventually showed in humans.”
“Our field has thought about apes climbing up trees for a long time but we’ve been ignoring the second half of this behaviour,” said Professor Jeremy DeSilva. The findings are among the first to identify the significance of “down climbing” in the evolution of apes and early humans.

47. 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。
It’s eight o’clock on Christmas morning, and my dad says he wants to listen to the news. My 11-year-old self is wondering why on Earth grown-ups would be interested in the news when there are important things to be done, such as handing out presents. And then, while I am only half-listening, something strange happens: the newsreader begins talking about a Christmas message. Hadn’t we heard that report earlier
My older brother Colin, figures out what’s happening. “Pete, Pete, it’s a tape recorder! We’ve got our tape recorder!”
It finally dawns on me: my dad recorded the news and is playing it back now.
Colin and I had both been blind from birth. At the special school that Colin and I attended, a recorder of your own was the height of desire. However, realistic about family finances, we had no real expectations of getting one.
The tape recorder my dad bought us would have cost more than four times his weekly wage. He could only afford it by borrowing the money. I know my mum and dad would have thought long and hard before being in the debt.
The new toy controlled the rest of the Christmas holidays. Once we had mastered the controls, we recorded anything and everything: each other, our parents, the milkman, the dog... and we very quickly learned how much fun we could have with it.
It wasn’t the first time I had been attracted by a tape recorder. I vividly remember walking into a room when I was four and hearing a child’s tuneless singing. I stopped dead. “It’s you,” Dad said.
It turned out that he had borrowed a tape recorder. So for the first time, in the same way that a sighted child might react to seeing themselves in a mirror, I got the sense of myself as a separate person who existed outside my head and was experienced by other people.
I took my first steps down the path to my career as a broadcaster when I returned to school.
