People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.
The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn't food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.
Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.
The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens' feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.

C． D．
3．How did the volunteers help with the research
A．By listening to the chicken calls.
B．By taking care of the chickens.
C．By finding food for the chickens.
D．By making the chickens happy.
4．What does the underlined word "identify" mean in Paragraph 4
A．Control. B．Hide. C．Recognize. D．Hurt.
5．What is the best title for the passage

（2025·番禺模拟）The coast of the Namib Desert in South West Africa is the location of Namibia's diamond industry. Recently, a team of divers working for a diamond company were searching for diamonds under the sea when they made an exciting discovery. The divers had just started digging when they uncovered a few gold coins and also some pieces of metal and wood. Although they didn't know what the objects were, they realized they had to stop work and inform a historical expert called Derek Ambrose.
Ambrose is based in the city of Cape Town in South Africa, and he mainly looks at anything of historical importance found in the Namibian desert. However, Ambrose already knew about the digging that the divers were doing under the sea. As soon as he received the photographs of what they had found, he decided to visit the site and invited his former teacher, Bruce Warner to help him do research into the discovery.
They quickly realized that the divers had discovered a sunken ship. Based on what the ship was carrying, they believe that the ship sank in the late 1400s or early 1500s. Ambrose and Warner are now trying to fit the pieces of information they have into a story. They divide their time between looking at the remains of the ship under the sea off the West African coast and doing research in museums and libraries in Cape Town. Soon they will leave for Europe and go to Portugal or Spain to search for records of a ship that went missing with similar items on board. Ambrose believes the ship was on government business—probably looking for enough metal to make big guns.
What sank the ship may remain a mystery. But Ambrose has several ideas: this coast was well known for storms and thick fogs. Even today sailors keep away from it, though they have more accurate maps and better equipment. He has found pieces of wood from the ship with large holes and repairs done by sailors, so the ship was clearly old, even then.
16．The followings are the remains of the sunken ship Except ________.
A．some wood B．some coins C．some metal D．some diamonds
17．What is the correct order of the events
a. Ambrose and Warner plan to look for records in Europe.
b. Ambrose knew about the digging for diamonds under the sea.
c. Ambrose visited the site and invited his teacher Warner.
d. Ambrose and Warner studied the remains of the ship.
e. The divers found some coins and metal in the desert.
A．b-e-c-d-a B．e-b-c-a-d C．b-e-a-c-d D．e-b-d-c-a
18．What made the ship sink according to the passage
A．The bad weather. B．The poor equipment.
C．The operating mistake. D．Unknown.
19．What can you infer from the passage
A．The divers knew they had found a sunken ship at first.
B．The weather of the coast is not good for sailing.
C．The ship was on government business to look for enough gold.
D．The ship might sink in the early 1400s or late 1500s.

（2025·番禺模拟）When talking about fishing in China, Jiang Tai Gong is very likely to be the first name that would come to people's mind.
The story happened in the late years of the Shang dynasty. Jiang Tai Gong once served the king of Shang dynasty, and began to hate him for tyranny from the bottom of heart. Jiang Tai Gong was a genius in military tactics and government management. He lived near the Weihe River about 3,000 years ago. The area was the feudal estate of Count Ji Chang. Jiang Tai Gong knew Ji Chang was very ambitious, so he hoped to get Ji's attention.
He often went fishing at the Weihe River, but he would fish in an unusual way. He hung a straight fishhook, without bait, three feet above the water. Lookers-on were curious about it, and Jiang Tai Gong explained, "I would like to take honestly rather than to ask for with the knees down. I fish not for the fish but for the nobility (高贵)." Later words traveled to Count Ji. He sent a soldier to invite him. Jiang Tai Gong ignored the solider, going on with fishing, and was talking to himself, "Fishing, fishing, no fish has been hooked. A shrimp is up to mischief (恶作剧)." The soldier reported this back to Ji Chang, who became more interested in this man. Then, Count Ji sent an official to invite him. It didn't work. Finally Ji Chang realized Jiang may be a genius, so he went to invite Jiang Tai Gong himself. Jiang saw his sincerity and honesty and finally decided to work for him. In the end, Jiang Tai Gong helped Count Ji and his offspring build a great power and build Zhou dynasty — a great dynasty.
Today, people use the old idiom There are always fish willing to be caught by angler Jiang Taigong to describe someone who willingly falls in a trap or does something no matter what the result is. This idiom has been passed on from generation to generation. To some degree, it could be regarded as a part of Chinese philosophy.
25．Why did Jiang Tai Gong give up serving the king of Shang Dynasty
A．Because Jiang was too old to serve the king.
B．Because the king treated his people rudely.
C．Because Jiang was an ambitious person.
D．Because the king didn't need Jiang any more.
26．How did Jiang Tai Gong fish
A．He fished with a straight hook in the water.
B．He fished without bait above the water.
C．He fished with bait to plead for fish.
D．He fished with a usual fishhook without bait.
27．What does the underlined part "a shrimp" in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．a kind of animal B．a small fish

（2024·深圳模拟）If you didn't know my father well, you might think that he was a serious man. But he wasn't. He was actually a wildly funny person. What made him appear so serious was the fact that he never smiled with his mouth. He did it all with his eyes. And you could see a tiny golden light dancing in the middle of each eye.
My father was not what you would call an educated man and I doubt if he had read twenty books in his life. But he was a talented story-teller. He used to make up a bedtime story for me every single night, and the best ones were turned into serials (续集).
One of them was about an enormous man called BiGi. He was three times as tall as an ordinary man and his hands looked like bike wheels.
"BiGi lives in an underground cave and has a factory where he makes magic powder (粉末) out of the dreams that children make when they are asleep," my father's stories continued, "he then carries the powder and blows it through a child's window…and the powder floats around the room…and the child breathes it in…"
"And then what " I asked.
"And then, Danny, the child begins to have a fantastic dream…and when the dream reaches its most fantastic moment, then the magic powder really takes over…and suddenly the dream is not a dream any longer but a real happening…"
Once I fell asleep as my father had hoped, he would kiss me good night and turned down the lamp. I could feel the love in his smiling eyes as I started my dream.
34．What was special about the writer's father

"Mum!" she shouted. "I see birds. Two. In cave (洞穴). Beautiful!"
Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds.
Amy climbed straight to her attic room—her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed "Amy in the woods."
"Are those the same birds who built the nest last year Will they return to the cave next spring " Amy always wondered. "I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are." Amy made up her mind.
In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed.
Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to feel a part of this small family.
When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But would they come back She had to know!

（2025·荔湾模拟）When she was 14 years old, Amy's life was turned upside down by a family trouble.
Amy lived in a small village in India. Her mother fell ill and her father had to spend his time caring for her. As a result, she had to do most of the housework—including washing clothes. What's worse, her family couldn't afford an electric washing machine. Instead, she had to do the washing all by hand in the local river, and then carefully carry everything back to her home—a task that took several hours.
Interested in engineering, Amy wanted to make a washing machine which could be used without electricity. She started studying electric washers to learn how they worked. Amy then designed a machine with bicycle pedals(踏板) and chain. To get those, she went to a local shop. Workers there not only gave her the parts, they also helped her make the machine!
Here's how the machine works: Amy used a cylinder(圆筒) to hold the clothes and put it in a cube(立方体). Next, she connected the bicycle pedals and the chain to the cylinder. As Amy pushed the pedals with her legs, the cylinder cleaned the clothes just like a regular washing machine.
Amy's invention worked! She had created her own human-powered washing machine—and now a task that used to take several hours took only 30 minutes. Amy's washing machine was chosen as India's best invention! And the story of this young woman's creative invention spread around the world.
"Amy's invention saves time and money for the world's poor," said Jeanine Thomas of the Borden Project, "she made a difference."

It was about ten at night, and it was cold. A policeman moved along the street. Then he suddenly saw a man standing near the door of a closed restaurant.

Twenty years ago, we agreed to meet here at ten tonight. Sounds a little funny to you, doesn't it " With these words, the man lit a cigar (雪茄). The light showed a pale face with a little scar near his right eye.
"It sounds interesting," said the policeman. "If he isn't here at ten, are you going to leave " "No." said the man. "I will wait half an hour, at least. I'm sure Jimmy will come tonight." "I will go on my way," the policeman said. "Hope your friend comes. Good night, sir." "Good night, officer."
There was now a cold rain falling. About twenty minutes he waited, a tall man came, hurrying "Is that you, Bob " he asked.

"It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one," said the tall man.
"You've been under arrest (逮捕) for ten minutes, Bob. Now before we go on to the police station, here's a note for you. You may read it here at the window."
Bob opened the little piece of paper. His hands began to shake as he read.
