24．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“She wrote that it was a very stormy day and a rainstorm was coming so she left her back door open just in case some animals wanted to take refuge in her house. (她写道，这是一个暴风雨天，暴雨即将来临，所以她把后门开着，以防一些动物想在她的房子里避难)”和第四段第二句“ As the back door was opened, she did not notice when the deer entered her house. (由于后门是开着的，她没有注意到那只鹿进入了她的房子)”可知，小鹿是从开着的后门进了女人的房子。故选C项。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“In the meantime, she went out in the storm to check whether there were any animals that were stuck in the bad weather, especially a number of deer.(与此同时，她冒着暴风雨出去检查是否有动物被困在恶劣的天气中，尤其是一些鹿)”可知，这名女士很关心野生动物，即她致力于保护野生动物。故选C项。
26．词句猜测题。根据第四段第四句“ The woman did try to find if there was any deer nearby her house but to no avail.(这名女士确实试图寻找是否有鹿在她的房子附近，但to no avail)”中的“did try to find”和“but”可知，这名女士虽然努力寻找了，但是并没有找到，即“失败、未能做到”。故选A项。

C
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了重复行为在儿童发展中的重要性。
28. C 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的前半句可知，作者的儿子看关于农场机器的视频看得太频繁了，以至于当作者听到无聊的背景音乐时，她的大脑开始停止运转。句中的“but”表示转折，说明作者儿子的感受是与作者截然不同的。综上可知，画线词所在部分应表示“但是小家伙对那个视频的热情丝毫未减”。画线词的含义应是“毫不动摇的，始终如一的”，steady的含义与之相似。故选C。
29. A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Learning requires building connections between neurons ... the stronger their connections become”可知，学习需要在神经元之间建立联系，而重复使这一过程得以实现。一组神经元被激活的频率越高，它们之间的联系就越强。由此可知，重复通过增强神经元之间的连接来促进学习。故选A。
30. C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Now I understand that this routine ... knowing that once ... with his head resting on my shoulder.”可知，作者了解到这个夜间例行活动给儿子带来了舒适，因为他知道一旦他们读完了书，他就会把头靠在作者的肩膀上入睡。由此可推断，作者的儿子在夜间例行活动中能够预测事情的发展，从而感到舒适。故选C。
31. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，如果你发现孩子有重复的行为，不要恼火，要知道他们只是在努力练习和掌握他们新发现的知识和技能，并在这个过程中构建他们的大脑结构。也就是说这种重复的形式对他们的成长是有助益的，家长要了解或重视这一点。故选D。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的一项研究：野生动物其实更害怕人类的声音。
32. C 推理判断题。根据第二段第二个引号中的“But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”可知，不管你是什么类型的人——观看野生动物的游客、盗猎者或其他什么人，在野生动物眼里，你都是一样的——人类的存在对他们来说都是一样的危险，因此可以推断出，动物们曾经被盗猎者伤害过，所以它们才会非常恐惧人类。故选C。
33. A 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world”可知，南非大克鲁格国家公园是世界上现存狮子数量最多的地方之一，即那里有很多的狮子。故选A。
34. C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.”可知，他们发现，除了狮子之外，野生动物对人类声音的反应比其他任何声音都要快。故选C。
35. D 段落大意题。根据最后一段内容可知，这些发现强调了我们的存在可能会产生重大的破坏性的生态后果；同时，这些发现也可能带来积极的结果，人类的声音可能会阻止野生动物进入农田或农场，即最后一段讲述的是人类的声音所带来的积极和消极影响。故选D。
36．E 37．G 38．D 39．B 40．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四个改善生活的好习惯。
36．下文“In truth, it’s not the best way to get things done.(事实上，这不是完成事情的最佳方式)”，空处应对应本段标题“Do one thing at a time(一次做一件事)”，并且指出下文it指代的内容，E项“我们大多数人有时同时做几件事”符合语境。故选E项。
37．上文“That concentrated time you spend on one thing will be far more productive.(把时间集中在一件事上会更有效率)”表明一个时间只做一件事会效率更高，空处承接上文，G项“相反，当你试图同时完成三件事时，你会很容易感到疲惫”跟上文相对照，表明另外一种结果，符合题意。故选G项。
38．上文“Imagine all things in your home have a place where they live. For example, toys go into a basket when they’re not in use. (想象一下，你家里的所有东西都有一个他们居住的地方。例如，玩具不用时会放进篮子里)”指出所有东西要有自己的地方，空处承接上文，D项“如果是这样的话，整理你的家会更快”是对前面句子的顺承，符合语境。故选D项。
39．空处作为小标题，应概括本段内容，下文第一句“Get up at the same time every day, preferably all seven days a week.A consistent (一致的) sleep schedule helps form your body’s circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). (每天在同一时间起床，最好一周七天都一样。一致的睡眠时间表有助于形成你身体的昼夜节律。)”是对小标题的进一步解释，B项“保持一致的睡眠时间表”跟主题内容一致，符合语境，同时a consistent sleep schedule是同词复现。故选B项。
40．上文“You have the power not to agree to help everyone else with their problems.(你有权不同意帮助其他人解决他们的问题)”表明你可以向别人说“不”，空处承上启下，下文“Your time is just as valuable as everyone else’s.(你的时间和其他人的时间一样宝贵)”表明你自己的时间也很重要，要留给自己时间，C项“这样你就为自己腾出了很多时间”符合语境。故选C项。
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者画画的心路历程，启示人们肯定个人的创造性，勇于表达自己。
41. A 考查名词辨析。根据后一句的“my paintings”可知，作者谈及了有关画画的事，所以作者想成为画家，A项painter“画家”符合题意。photographer“摄影师”；teacher“老师”；leader“领导”。故选A。
42. B 考查形容词辨析。根据后半句“my paintings were never the most beautiful”可知，作者想成为画家但画得不好，推测作者会感到灰心沮丧，B项discouraged“灰心的”符合题意。delighted“高兴的”；crazy“疯狂的”；excellent“卓越的”。故选B。
43. A 考查动词辨析。根据前一句的“create a portrait”和后一句的“looking at other portraits”可知，有一个项目是让大家画画，画完后可以观看别人的画作，因此空处应是展示画作，A项presented“展示”符合题意。burn“燃烧”；cancel“取消”；sell“卖”。故选A。
44. D 考查形容词辨析。第一段提到作者画画不太好（never the most beautiful），本句又提到“mine looks so amateur”，即作者认为自己的画很“业余”，相较而言，其他人的画比较“专业”，此处存在词义上的对比，D项professional“专业的”符合题意。funny“滑稽的”；enjoyable“令人愉快的”；colorful“多彩的”。故选D。
45. D 考查动词短语辨析。上一句提到，作者认为画画是一项宽容的艺术（forgiving art），也就是说如果不满意自己画的，也有很多改进的余地，比如在不满意的部分上面用颜料将其覆盖。D项paint over“用涂料覆盖”符合题意。step over“跨过”；knock over“打翻”；bend over“俯身”。故选D。
46. D 考查动词辨析。根据上文“free some creative juices”以及“free myself”可知，作者此处是说画画可以让自己尽情地释放创造力，进行创作的方式可能是自己也想象不到的，D项imagined“想象”符合题意。believe“相信”；like“喜欢”；master“掌握”。故选D。
47. C 考查副词辨析。根据下文“whatever was in front of them and around them”以及“never saw myself or my art in their work”可知，作者认为学校教的大画家们的艺术绘画都是与自己不太相关的，他们的绘画元素（white people, green pastures）与作者周围的世界不相符，此处作者表达了不满的情绪。C项always“总是”符合题意。always doing“没完没了地……，老是……”可以表达类似于不满、不耐烦的语气。sometimes“有时”；never“从不”；usually“经常”。故选C。
48. B 考查连词辨析。前一句话作者描述了学校教的绘画内容，但作者其实并不认可（never saw myself or my art），所以空处需要表示转折，表达“但那些并不是我在我周围看到的”，B项But“但是”符合题意。since“自从”；even“甚至”；unless“除非”。故选B。
49. A 考查名词辨析。根据上一句“They inspired me”可知，作者从黑人画家身上获得了灵感，A项inspiration“灵感”符合题意。question“疑问”；operation“运作”；function“功能”。故选A。
50. C 考查副词辨析。前文作者列举了一系列会感动自己的东西，包括其他形式的艺术（other forms of art），而空后的creative writing“创意写作”也属于一种艺术形式（one form of art），所以空处需要一个能够把前后连起来的词语，C项especially“尤其”符合题意。carefully“小心地”；absolutely“绝对地”；obviously“明显地”。故选C。
51. B 考查名词辨析。根据下文“I explained to her this feeling and she told me”可以看出，两人应该是进行了交谈，B项conversation“谈话”符合题意。deal“交易”；favor“帮助”；play“戏剧”。故选B。

53. D 考查动词辨析。根据上文“direct that towards something productive”和下文“into art, into a painting”可知，作者把痛苦这种能量引入到艺术和绘画中。空处单词和direct同义，D项change“变成；转换”符合题意。look“看”；get“得到”；break“打破”。故选D。
54. A 考查动词辨析。由“Even if ... beautiful”可知，作者认为，虽然自己的画不是审美标准下的漂亮，但因为它是自己的创作而依旧认为它是美丽的，A项create“创造”符合题意。speak“说”；organize“组织”；test“测试”。故选A。
55. D 考查动词辨析。根据上文“it’s still beautiful ... but they’re mine”和后文的anyway可知，作者意在强调自我艺术表达的重要性，肯定个人独特创造的价值，所以作者此处意在表达对自己作品的热爱，D项love“喜欢”符合题意。copy“效仿”；throw“扔”；apply“使用”。故选D。
56． usually 57．helpful 58．him 59．in 60．teaching 61．choices 62．that 63．thought 64． to build 65．an
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jesse决定暑期做志愿者，选择了帮助建房的故事。
56．考查副词。句意：他通常和家人一起出去过暑假。本空用副词usually“通常”，修饰动词goes，作状语。故填usually。
57．考查形容词。句意：但今年他想做一些不同且有帮助的事情。本空用形容词helpful“有帮助的”，与前面的different并列，作后置定语，修饰不定代词something。故填helpful。
58．考查代词。句意：她给他提供了一份他可以参加的活动清单。空前present是及物动词，后面接代词宾格形式him“他”，作宾语。故填him。
59．考查介词。句意：她给他提供了一份他可以参加的活动清单。本空用介词in，take part in为固定短语，意为“参加”。故填in。
60．考查非谓语动词。句意：这个清单包括在养老院工作，教小孩子如何读书，以及帮助为穷人建新房。本句谓语为included，此处为非谓语动词，根据并列连词and可知，本空与working和helping并列，所以要用动名词形式，作宾语。故填teaching。
61．考查名词的数。句意：还有很多其他的选择。choice“选择”为可数名词，根据前面的many other可知，本空要用复数形式。故填choices。
62．考查定语从句。句意：但是建房项目是那个吸引了杰西注意力的项目。空格处引导定语从句，先行词为the one，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，所以要用关系代词that引导。故填that。
63．考查动词时态。句意：所以他认为这可能会是一次非常有意义的经历。本句描述的是过去的情况，所以时态要用一般过去时，谓语用think“认为”的过去式。故填thought。
64．考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管这是他第一次建房子，但他渴望学习。Although引导的让步状语从句的谓语为is，此处为非谓语动词，固定句型It’s one’s first time to do sth.表示“这是某人第一次做某事”，本空用build“建”的不定式。故填to build。
65．考查冠词。句意：Jesse很确定这个夏天将是一个难忘的夏天。此处泛指“一个难忘的夏天”，且unforgettable为以元音音素开头，所以要用不定冠词an。故填an。

If you live near a deep forest, you might have come across some wildlife animals hiding in your backyard, but nothing beats the surprise this woman got when she found three baby deer hiding in her house to wait out the storm.
The woman then posted several photos of the baby deer taking refuge (避难) in one of her rooms on her Imgur account “Amscolie”. She wrote that it was a very stormy day and a rainstorm was coming so she left her back door open just in case some animals wanted to take refuge in her house. In the meantime, she went out in the storm to check whether there were any animals that were stuck in the bad weather, especially a number of deer. However, she could not find any of them so she went back to her home.
Surprisingly, she found that the deer had already made their way inside her house!
Like many other animals, deer too can predict stormy weather and know when it is best to find a shelter from the dangerous weather. As the back door was opened, she did not notice when the deer entered her house. The three lovely baby deer made their way inside but there was no sight of their parents. The woman did try to find if there was any deer nearby her house but to no avail. The woman thought that the baby deer might have lost their parents so she welcomed them with open arms.
“I raise orphaned (孤儿的) wildlife. Recently, the back door was open as a storm was coming. The deer were nowhere to be found. I went inside, only to see them next to an end table in the living room. I told them they could sleep in the house for the night because the weather was going to be terrible,” the woman wrote on Little .
24．How did the baby deer enter the woman's house

C．They entered through the back door.
D．They entered through the window.
25．What do we know about the woman from paragraph 2

27．Why were the deer found in the woman’s living room
A．They were hungry
B．Their parents lost them on purpose
C．They were being hunted
D．Bad weather forced them to find a shelter

My son is 3 years old and likes doing things repeatedly. There was a period of time last summer when all he wanted to watch was a video about farming machines. He watched it so often that my brain started to shut down when I heard the boring background music, but the little guy’s enthusiasm for the video was unwavering.
As annoying as such repeated tasks might be to us parents, repetition “has many functions” in childhood development, says Rebecca Parlakian from the nonprofit ZERO TO THREE. One of them is “Small children are truly the most persistent (执着的) humans,” says Parlakian. “They are just driven to master the world around them, and they do that through repetition.”
“There’s a neurological (神经学的) basis for this,” she adds. “Learning requires building connections between neurons, and repetition enables that process. When a group of neurons need to work together to perform a specific function or process information, they must be activated repeatedly. The more often they are activated, the stronger their connections become,” says Harvard neuroscientist Charles Nelson. “We often say ‘practice makes perfect’, but when it comes to brain development, practice makes permanent (永久的),” says Parlakian.
“As children learn things by doing things over and over,” she says, “they also start to take some comfort.” That’s especially obvious during my son’s nighttime routine, which involves my husband or me reading his favorite book about construction vehicles over and over again. Now I understand that this routine has not only taught him about different types of trucks, but brought him the comfort and safety of knowing that once we’re done reading, he will fall asleep with his head resting on my shoulder.
So, if you find yourself feeling annoyed at your child’s repeated jokes, games or stories, know that they are just hard at work practicing and mastering their newfound knowledge and skills, and building the architecture of their brains in the process.

People’s voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls (低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.
“This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”
Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators (捕食者) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world’s most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy.
They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds.
The researchers captured 15,000 videos of 19 species of animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.
The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.
32. Why are some animals fearful of human beings
A. Human beings are the strongest.
B. Human beings make them out of water.
C. Human beings may have caused great damage.
D. Human beings can make the loudest voice in the world.
33. What can be inferred about Greater Kruger National Park
A. There are many lions there.
B. There are 21 waterholes there.
C. It is easy to set up loudspeakers there.
D. It is easy to record the local people’s activities.
34. Which animal responded to human voices least
A. Elephants. B. Giraffes. C. Lions. D. Dogs.
35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The advantages of human voices to animals.
B. The damaging impact of human presence.
C. The significant ecological results of human voices.
D. The impact and possible application of human voices.

These four good habits will improve some aspects of your life.
Do one thing at a time
36 . In truth, it’s not the best way to get things done. Instead of jumping from one thing to the next like a ping-pong ball, stick with one task as long as you can. That concentrated time you spend on one thing will be far more productive. 37 .
Create a place for everything
Imagine all things in your home have a place where they live. For example, toys go into a basket when they’re not in use. 38 . If you regularly (定期的) have lots of things that have nowhere to go, it may be time to make some hard choices about what you really want to keep. 39
Get up at the same time every day, preferably all seven days a week. A consistent (一致的) sleep schedule helps form your body’s circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). Sleeping late on the weekends is not bad. But it feels better to get regular rests every day.
Learn how to say no
Saying yes to everything can be a difficult habit to break for most of us. But learning how to draw a line is one of the best things you can do for yourself. You have the power not to agree to help everyone else with their problems. 40 . Your time is just as valuable as everyone else’s.
A．Set a realistic goal
B．Keep a consistent sleep schedule
C．In this way you spare lots of time for yourself
D．If so, tidying up your home gets a whole lot quicker
E．Most of us sometimes do several things at the same time
F．Being efficient with the time you have is crucial for productivity
G．Instead, you will easily feel tired when trying to finish three things meantime

I paint when I’m moved, and I’m often moved by what’s natural — emotions, nature and other forms of art, 50 creative writing. I’m also very moved by pain. I had a 51 with an activist in St. Louis named Spook, and I explained to her this feeling and she told me: “Pain is

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 father reported that he had just bought a new house in new housing development, we were all overjoyed. For a long time, he had wished to buy his own home. My parents had been living in several rental houses since they married. Finally, his dream had come true.
We began moving our belongings into our new home on a bright and sunny Sunday morning. My father hired a lorry (卡车) to transport our goods, and I was amazed at how much we had. The lorry had to make three journeys before most of our belongings arrived at our new home. I enjoyed sitting in the back of the lorry while it made the transportation. My parents, grandmother, elder sister, and I were the members of our family. However, the number of goods, both necessary and useless, was amazing.
We had a busy day loading the items onto the lorry and then unloading them at our new home, but that was not the end of the story. We had to move the things into the house and arrange them properly before we could call the house home.
Our new house contained three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, two bathrooms, a small kitchen, and an even smaller garden. It was a significant improvement over our previous home, which was much smaller than the new one.
The kitchen was the first area we started organizing things, because we began feeling a little hungry after hard labour work. We needed to take care of our stomachs before we could do any more work. What we should do right now was to clean out the kitchen and make room for pots and pans, which my mom would use to fill our stomachs in the following hours. My mother set about creating her first meal in her brand-new kitchen, making the best fast-food lunch I’d ever tasted.
