One morning, Charlie Latuske woke up feverish in his home in Surrey in the UK, leaving him unable to function. He’d had a sore throat for a few days, believing it would get better, but that morning, he knew that he was in need of a doctor.
“I was quite out of it,” said 27-year-old Latuske, who was also expected to go on vacation with his wife in just three days.
Short on time, he feared the idea of calling his local physician only to wait days or to wait in a long line for an appointment, “I just needed to be seen without messing around with long lines of people,” he said. “When you’re that ill, that’s the last thing you want to do.”
These days, the solution is somewhat easier, thanks to the Internet.
Latuske’s wife showed him a private medical app with which he could see a doctor w thin the hour—virtually. For 30, he could signup, share his symptoms(症状) and video-call a doctor in the UK using the digital health provider Push Doctor. The app is on c of many now available(可用的) worldwide to help people in need of medical attention who are unable to get to a doctor for various reasons.
“I was highly skeptical,” he said, adding that he didn’t trust such a service and questioned the professionalism of doctors available through it. “But I was in great need of a doctor.”
Within 20 minutes, he was speaking with a doctor, who soon diagnosed(诊断) him with tons ii is, a common disease.
Within the hour, he was at his nearest drug store, collecting medicines. And three days later, he was on vacation, as planned.
“I was impressed by the efficiency of the whole thing,” he said.
24. What was Latuske’s concern about seeing a doctor
A. He had to do a check-up. B. He would have a long wait.
C. He had to cancel his travel plans. D. He needed to spend lots of money.
25. What did Latuske’s wife do to help him
A. She gave him some money. B. She offered him encouragement.
C. She took him to a nearby hospital. D. She recommended a medical app to him.
26. What does the underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Embarrassed. B. Grateful. C. Doubtful. D. Passive.
27. What can we learn about the new way Latuske saw a doctor
A. It was highly efficient. B. It costa little money.
C. It needed some improvement. D. It was less useful than expected.
C
Blood maybe thicker than water when it comes to human relationships and it seems that the same is true of jackdaws(寒鸦) after scientists found they readily change friends to gain food but stick with family even at the risk of going hungry.
Alex Thornton, a professor of leaning ability development, said, “We kept track of hundreds of wild jackdaws, each of which was equipped with a small chip. In this experiment we divided jackdaws into two groups—A or B—and programmed a pair of computer-controlled devices(装置) to provide worms. Only if individuals from the same group (AA or BB) visited together, will they get the worms.” If birds from different groups arrived together—A with B―the feeders would remain closed. Single birds would I get seeds(种子), but not the worms that they preferred.
Thornton said, “We wanted to find out if jackdaws could build new relations with new partners. They might have friends in the wrong group. Do jackdaws leave them and start to hang out with individuals who are in the right group The jackdaws turned out to be very smart quickly learning to give up friends from the wrong group to get the best food. However, they acted differently when it came to their close relations even if they got nothing.
Thormton said jackdaws were an excellent subject matter as they were clever and had energetic social networks. “You’ve got individuals coming and going far beyond their strong relationships, and they have lots of other company. They are similar to human society.” Michael Kings, of the University of Exeter, said, “These results help our understanding of the development of intelligence as they show that being able to track and remember information about social partners can bring them good.”
28. Which of the following do jackdaws value most according to the experiment
A. Their family. B. Their friends.
C. Staying away from risks. D. Avoiding going hungry.
29. What can be learned about the jackdaws in the experiment
A. Jackdaws from different groups got seeds
B. Jackdaws on their own got the worms.
C. Jackdaws with their family got nothing.
D. Jackdaws from the same group got worms.
30. How did the scientists carryout the search
A. By making jackdaws behave like humans with chips
B. By tracking the behavior of wild jackdaws when finding food.
C. By surveying how the two groups of jackdaws getting along.
D. By comparing different behaviors between humans and jackdaws.
31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To explain the significance of the research.
B. To provide possible reasons for the results.
C. To suggest application of the research findings.
D. To point out the possible problem in the research
D
When young, my parents took me to a zoo. I remember looking in admiration at two bears in a cage. Things have changed. My kids would be afraid to see animals in cages. Today, we expect animals to be held in more natural environment, and for zoos to do more to make the world a better place.
Zoos can host great conservation(保护) work. Sometimes they hold and protect endangered animals. About 40 seriously endangered animal species exist mainly in zoos. They are us for study, reproducing(繁殖) programs and even to reintroduce the animals to the wild. But not many zoos do enough of this. I support the recommendation of some researchers that zoos should spend at least 10%of their money on biodiversity(生物多样性) conservation. Sadly, a 1999 study showed an average spending of only 0.1%.
If zoos totally concentrate on protection, we might expect them to mostly house threatened species. But many zoos focus on the big animals that draw audiences to make money. I say that’s inappropriate(不合适的). I don’t mean zoos shouldn’t be a business. Since care of animals can be extremely expensive, it’s reasonable for zoos to open their doors to earn some money, as long as animals are kept in acceptable conditions.
Visiting animals in real life helps develop an appreciation for the natural world. Virtual-reality (VR) glasses and movies about wildlife are worthwhile, but not the same. A friend of mine who works in the Amazon puts it this way: “To love the forest, you need to smell the forest.”
Conservation should come first for all zoos, together with education and research. Without that, a zoo becomes just a business: one that the world would be better off without.
32. How did the author feel when seeing two bears in a cage in his childhood
A. He was scared of the scene B. He felt worried about his safety.
C. He felt sad about the caged bears. D. He was amazed by the wonder of animals.
33. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Protecting endangered animals properly.
B. Keeping animals in more natural conditions.
C. Holding non-threatened species in much greater numbers.
D. Spending part of their money on biodiversity conservation.
34. What does the author’s friend imply in his words
A. VR helps zoos to make money.
B. Animals should live in the wild.
C. VR enables viewers to know more about wildlife
D. Visiting animals in real life is a necessary experience.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Zoos need to be changed. B. Zoos should be not allowed.
C. Zoos shouldn’t be a business. D. Animals shouldn’t be kept in zoos.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many kids find math difficult or boring. That feeling needs to go extinct(不再存在的) as soon as possible as math is a pillar(支柱) of education. Beyond numbers, math pushes kids to think critically and become problem solvers. 36 Let’s find out!
Change how you talk about math to kids
When you hear the word “math” come up, put on a wide smile on your face. Our kids can get stronger in the subject with our energy. Let’s be clear. We aren’t trying to make math cool. 37 .This goes double for those struggling with math.
Integrate(融合) math into daily life
38 .You can do this at home, during grocery shopping or even at a restaurant. Getting kids a quick math practice session when they aren’t expecting it makes them think on their feet and put things they’ve learned into practice. They get a moment to shine and you get an opportunity to praise them for showing what they learned.
39
Does your child love sports Math helps them keep track of their performance and improve. Figure out a way to take the current math they are working on in school and then apply it to something they like. This may take some homework on your part but it will pay off in no time!
Go along with math games
Let’s not try to force math homework to be fun, rather find a teaching aid that puts math in a new light. With advancement in technology, math games have become designed to teach entire lessons and concepts rather than simple problems like the games of days past. 40
A. Listen to the outer voice
B. Connect math to kids’ interests
C. What is your learning approach to math
D. But how do we help kids build math confidence
E. A simple everyday event can tum into a math problem
F. Your kids will explore a different world while playing math games
G. Instead, we are trying to make math a positive part of a child’s education

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。
I grew up in a small town where the primary school was a ten-minute walk from my house. When the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me.
One lunchtime will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had practised so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside, explaining she had added a narrator to the play, and asking me to change roles. Her words, kindly expressed, still hurt especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine(藤) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see the grass beautifully dotted with many small but bright yellow dandelions(蒲公英). It looked as if a painter had touched the picture with gold. I watched my mother bend(弯腰) down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these wildflowers,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I strongly disagreed. “All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it ” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry while telling her what had happened. She listened and smiled reassuringly(令人感到宽慰地).
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在作答卡的相应位置作答。
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said.
After the play, I took the flower home.

Dear John,
How is everything going with you I’m so happy to have received your email, in which you showed great concern about my study and my plan for the coming summer holiday. Now I’d like to share them with you.
This term has witnessed great progress in my study. Not only have I learned some great topics, such as Festivals and Celebrations and Diverse Cultures, but also I have a better understanding of English grammar. Therefore, I am more confident than before. As for my holiday plan, I choose to join a health club and decide to take exercise for at least an hour a day. Meanwhile, I plan to read at least 3 good books. Time permitting, a journey to my dream city Hangzhou with my friends will be included. Of course, I will help my mother with some chores too.
Thank you very much for your concern and I sincerely invite you to China for a visit. I’m sure you must have a wonderful trip! Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said. Softly, Mum encouraged and comforted me as she always did. My beloved mom, wearing a shining smile on her scarlet face, added, “The narrator’s part is important, too.” Thanks to her encouragement which calmed me down gradually, I began to accept that the narrator part was of vital significance. The performance day arrived before I realized it. At first I was still nervous, but it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, which was meant to keep me company and encourage me to play my part.
After the play, I took the flower home. Mom carefully gazed at the dandelion, gently pressed it into the dictionary and grinned happily as she did. “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” Though decades have passed, I constantly recall our precious lunchtimes spent together, clinging to each other, bathed in the soft midday light. For this, I am forever grateful, because my mother helps me fully appreciate that every flower can give pleasure in its own way and so can I.
(参考范文二)
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said. Mum reminded me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator’s part is every bit as important as the part of a princess.” Her constant encouragement filled me with pride but before the night of the performance, I suddenly felt nervous backstage. My teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. Looking at it, I knew my mother was out there.
After the play, I took the flower home. My mother pressed it between two sheets of paper in a dictionary, laughing as she did it, saying that, “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” After all these years, I often look back on our lunchtimes together, bathed in the soft midday light. For this, I am forever grateful, because my mother helps me fully appreciate that every flower can give pleasure in its own way and so can I.

(Text 10)
Some people prefer the traditional way of learning — in a classroom, with a teacher and other students. However, more people are turning to studying online. Jimmy was one of these. He wanted to study business in English. He thought it was expensive to study at college. To save money, he began an online course at first. Jimmy says his online teacher was good, but he doesn’t think studying on his own is as enjoyable as being with his friends in class. After three months’ studying online, Jimmy went to study at college. Although he had thought the online and college courses were similar, he found it difficult to study online in English as he is Spanish. In the classroom, with English students, it was easier. Sally has another opinion. Sometimes she got to lessons early or stayed on after they finished, because it was difficult for her to study with so much happening in the classroom. She likes the people in class with her, but says that studying online is more peaceful.
【A篇】本文是应用文。文章是两门关于中国传统文化的课程介绍。
21. B。细节理解题。根据Chinese Calligraphy Course部分中的our course will also involve Chinese literature and philosophy behind Chinese calligraphy可推断，中国书法课程将会涉及中国文学和哲学。
22. A。细节理解题。根据Chinese Calligraphy Course部分中的No experience is required and detailed instruction
will be provided和The Analects of Confucius Course中的No experience is required but you need to bring a computer with Internet connection可知，这两门课程均适合初学者。
23. A。推理判断题。根据文章最后一句Click here to get more information可知，这篇材料可能来自某个网站。
【B篇】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Charlie Latuske利用科技求医的经历。
24. B。细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的he feared the idea of calling his local physician only to wait days or
even a week for an appointment, or to wait in a long line for an emergency appointment及Latuske所说的I just needed to be seen without messing around with long lines of people 可知，Latuske 很发愁看医生，因为
他需要等几天甚至一周才能预约上医生。他可以预约急诊，但也需要排队等候。
25. D。细节理解题。根据第五段第一句Latuske’s wife showed him a private medical app with which he could see a doctor within the hour—virtually可知，Latuske的妻子给他推荐了一款私人医疗应用程序。
26. C。词义猜测题。根据第六段第一句中的he didn’t trust such a service and questioned the credentials of doctors available through it及Latuske所说的But I was in great need of a doctor可知，起初，Latuske并不信赖妻子推荐的哪款应用程序。由此推断，skeptical在此表示“怀疑的”。
27. A。推理判断题。根据倒数第三段Within 20 minutes, he was speaking with a doctor, who soon diagnosed him
with tonsilitis、倒数第二段第一句Within the hour, he was at his nearest pharmacy, collecting medicines及最后一段中Latuske说说的I was impressed by the efficiency of the whole thing可知，通过妻子推荐的医疗应用程序，Latuske很快就弄清楚了自己的病情，并且买到了药。由此可推断，与传统的就医方式相比，Latuske所使用的新的问诊方式很高效。
【C篇】本文属于说明文。文章通过介绍一项关于寒鸦社交行为的科学实验，探讨了寒鸦如何根据社交关系调整自己的行为，以及这背后的认知能力和进化意义。
28. A。细节理解题。由文章第一段“Blood may be thicker than water when it comes to human relationships and it appears that the same is true of jackdaws (寒鸦) after scientists found they readily switch friends to gain food but stick with family even at the risk of going hungry.（在人际关系中，血浓于水，寒鸦似乎也是如此。科学家发现，它们为了获得食物，很容易换朋友，但即使冒着挨饿的风险，也会坚持与家人在一起。）”可知，对寒鸦来说最重要的是 他们的家庭。故选A。
29. D。细节理解题。由文章第二段“Alex Thornton,…, said, “We monitor hundreds of wild jackdaws, each of
which is fitted with a tiny PIT tag like the chips (芯片)…—embedded in (嵌入) a leg ring. In this experiment we randomly divided jackdaws into two groups — A or B — and programmed a pair of computer-controlled devices to provide worms only if individuals from the same group (AA or BB) visited together.” If birds from different groups arrived together—A with B—the feeders would remain closed. Single birds would get grain, but not the more desirable worms.（认知进化教授亚历克斯·桑顿说：“我们对数百只野生寒鸦进行了监测，每只寒鸦身上都装有一个微型PIT标签，就像宠物猫和狗的芯片一样，嵌入腿环中。在这个实验中，我们将寒鸦随机分为A组和B组，并编程了一对自动PIT标签检测设备，只有当同一组（AA或BB）的个体一起访问时才提供蠕虫。”如果来自不同群体的鸟一起到达，喂食器将保持关闭状态。单身的鸟儿会得到粮食，但不会得到更理想的蠕虫。）”可知，来自同一组的寒鸦得到了虫子。故选 D。
30. B。细节题。A选项没有提及。C选项中 inquiring into是通过询问方式研究，在文中虽然有直接引语，但那是科学研究团队的分析。D选项中对比人类和寒鸦的做法是在得到寒鸦 的表现模式后才做的比较，并非实验的方法。由文章第二段 “We follow hundreds of wild jackdaws, each of which is fitted with a tiny PIT tag like the chips (芯片)…programmed a pair of computer-controlled devices(装置) to provide worms only if individuals from the same group (AA or BB) visited together.”可知科学家们通过装置跟踪，且观察它们在获取食物时的表现，故选B。
31. A。推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“These results help our understanding-of the development of learning ability as they show that being able to track and remember information about social partners can bring good.（这些结果有助我们理解智力的进化，因为它们表明能够追踪和记住有关社交对象的信息可以带来好处。）”可知，该段的目的是解释研究的意义。故选A。
【D篇】本文是议论文。动物园需要做出改变，不仅要创收也要致力于动物保护工作。
32. D。推理判断题。根据第一段中的I remember looking in admiration at two bears in a cage可知，作者看到被关在笼子里的两只熊时表现出了惊讶。
33. A。文章结构题。根据第二段中的Sometimes they hold and protect endangered animals可知，在合理保护濒危动物方面，动物园做得不够。
34. D。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Virtual-reality(VR) glasses and movies about wildlife are worthwhile, but not the same...To love the jungle, you need to smell the jungle可知，观看有关野生动物的虚拟现实的电影是值得的，但是和身临其境去观看野生动物不一样，想要爱上丛林，你需要去闻它的气味，由此可推知，作者朋友的话表示身临其境去观看在大自然中生活的动物是有必要的。
35. A。标题归纳题。通读全文可知，作者呼吁动物园做出改变，把动物保护放在首位并辅以教育和科研。
【七选五】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了帮助孩子建立对数学的信心的一些方法。

Beyondnumbers, math pushes kids to think critically and become problem solvers. （这种感觉需要尽快消失，因为数学是教育的支柱。除了数字，数学还能促使孩子们批判性地思考，成为问题的解决者）”指出数学非常重要，后文“Let’s find out! （让我们一探究竟吧）”发出对某事一探究竟的倡议，空处是一个问句，应该和如何学好数学相关。因此D项“But how do we help kids build math confidence (但是我们如何帮助孩子建立对数学的信心呢)”符合语境，承上启下。故选 D。
37. G。前文“When you hear the word “math” come up, put on a wide smile on your face. Our kids feed off our energy. Let’s be clear, we aren’t trying to make math cool.（当你听到“数学”这个词出现时，请在脸上露出灿烂的笑容。我们的孩子以我们的能量为源泉。让我们明确一点，我们并不是想让数学变得很冷酷）”建议以微笑的方式对待数学被提起，而非让数学变得很冷酷，后文“This goes double for those struggling with math. （对于那些数学不好的人来说更是如此）”进一步指出这样做的用处，空处应该首先指出这样做的用处，因此G项“Instead, we are trying to make math a positive part of a child’s education（相反，我们正在努力使数学成为孩子教育中积极的一部分）”符合语境，承上启下，其中的positive和前文的smile呼应。故选G。
38. E。本段小标题“Integrate (融合) math into daily life (将数学融入日常生活)”建议把数学融入日常生活，后文“You can do this at home, during grocery shopping or even at a restaurant. （你可以在家里、在杂货店购物时甚至在餐馆里做这件事）”介绍做某件事的场所，空处作为段首句，应该呼应标题，与日常中的数学问题相关，因此E项“A simple everyday event can turn into a math problem （一个简单的日常事件可以变成一个数学问题）”符合语境，引出后文内容，后文的this指代选项内容。故选E。
39. B。后文“Does your child love sports Math helps them keep track of their performance and improve. Figure out a way to take the current math they are working on in school and then apply it to something they like. This may take some homework on your part, but it will pay off in no time! （你的孩子喜欢运动吗？数学可以帮助他们跟踪自己的表现并提高。想办法把他们在学校学习的数学知识应用到他们喜欢的事情上。这可能需要你做一些功课，但很快就会有回报的）”主要指出可以把数学和孩子们喜欢的事物联系在一起，空处作为段落标题，应该与此相关，且应用祈使句的形式，因此 B 项“Connect math to kids’ interests（把数学和孩子的兴趣联系起来）”符合语境，契合段落内容，其中的 interests 和后文的love、like呼应。故选B。
40. F。前文“With advancement in technology, math games have become designed to teach entire lessons and concepts rather than simple problems like the games of days past.（随着科技的进步，数学游戏已经被设计成教授整个课程和概念，而不是像过去的游戏那样简单的问题）”介绍数学游戏因为科技进步而变成课程和概念，空处作为段尾句，应该承接前文，可能与这样情况的结果相关，因此F项“Your kids will explore a different world while playing math games（你的孩子会在玩数学游戏的时候探索一个不同的世界）”符合语境，其中的math games 在前文有同词复现。故选F。
