第一节
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
What Is Your Pet Trying to Tell You
Animals want our attention，and sometimes they're quite obviously about asking for it．Unusual behaviors are often our pets' way of telling us to stop what we're doing and play with them．It's why Fido constantly chases his tail and why Kitty keeps rolling around．A desperately bored pet may have “bad” behaviors to get a reaction—even a negative one!
Feed Me
Sure，your dog loves you，but that's not why he's licking(舔) your face．A puppy learns to lick his mother's mouth to get a little leftover food．So Spot isn't kissing you；he just wants a snack．
I'm Stressed
Cat owners also misinterpret their furry friends' kisses．While a cat might lick you to show love，sometimes she'll do it to ease herself．One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is to see if it goes on for an extended period of time．Birds also overclean when they feel anxious．Some will even drag out their own feathers．
My Tail Tells All
Dogs wag(摇) their tails to the right when they see something or someone they want to approach，and to the left when they see something they want to avoid．When frightened, dogs curl their tails in，while cats wrap theirs around themselves．And if a cat's tail looks like a question mark, she's eager to play．
1．What does a dog show if it kisses its owner
A．Hunger．　　　　　 B．Love．
C．Fear． D．Sadness．
2．How many kinds of pets are mentioned in the text
A．Two． B．Three．
C．Four． D．Five．
3．What will happen if birds get anxious
A．They will drag others' feathers．
B．They will approach someone they like．
C．They will clean their feathers more than necessary．
D．They will stare at their owners for a longer time．
B
On November 18，1995，Itzhak Perlman，the world famous violinist，came on stage to give a concert at Lincoln Centre in New York City．If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is not easy for him．He got polio (小儿麻痹症) as a child，and has to walk with the aid of two crutches now．
That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair．Then he sat down and began to play．But，suddenly，one of the strings on his violin broke．You could hear it break — it broke with a loud noise．
People thought to themselves，“He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one．”
But he didn't．Instead，he waited a moment closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again．The orchestra began，and he played from where he had stopped．He played with such passion and such power．
Of course，everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings．But that night Itzhak Perlm refused to know that．You could see him changing and recomposing the piece in his head．
When he finished，there was a silence in the room．Then people rose and cheered，doing everything they could to show how much they appreciated what he had done．
He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone，“You know，sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left．”
His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them．That is also the way of life．Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music，at first with all that we have，and then，when that is no longer possible，to make music with what we have left．
4．Why is holding a concert challenging for Perlman
A．He is just a world famous violinist．
B．He has never performed on stage before．
C．He is physically disabled as a result of a disease．
D．He has difficulty in moving his body．
5．If one of the strings suddenly broke，what would an ordinary player do
A．He would cancel the concert．
B．He would play another violin．
C．Another performer would play instead．
D．The concert would be put off．
6．Why did the audience rise and cheer
A．To show they are satisfied with Perlman's performance．
B．To thank the orchestra for their passionate performance．
C．To ask Perlman for another performance．
D．To express their appreciation of Perlman's creative mind．
7．What lesson can we draw from the story
A．We should make the best of what we have．
B．What we have is more important than what is lost．
C．We should not care about what is lost．
D．The way of life is to always live with music．
C
People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions—and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why．
Rachael Jack，a researcher from University of Glasgow，said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do，Easterners fix their attention on the eyes．
“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions，” Jack said．“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure，but Easterners favor the eyes and ignore the mouth．”
According to Jack and her colleagues，the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed．As a result，facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to express emotion in cross-cultural situations．
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy，sad，surprised，fearful，disgusted，angry，or neutral．They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies．
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did．“The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions，” Jack said．“Our data suggest that Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion，while Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less．”
In short，the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion．From here on，examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion．Otherwise，when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures，Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation．
8．What does the discovery show about Westerners
A．They observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways．
B．They have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions．
C．They pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth．
D．They consider facial expressions universally reliable．
9．What were the people asked to do in the study
A．To observe the researchers' faces．
B．To get their faces impressive．
C．To make a face at each other．
D．To classify some face pictures．
10．In comparison with Westerners，Easterners are likely to ________．
A．study the mouth more frequently
B．examine the eyes more attentively
C．read facial expressions more correctly
D．do translation more successfully
11．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions
B．Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
C．How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding
D．The Eye as the Window to the Soul
D
Alaska's Mendenhall glacier is about 20 minutes by car from Juneau，the state capital．It is one of the area's most popular sites for tourists．But climate change has caused the ice to melt．That means it is losing more snow and ice than it gains．
Experts guess that by 2050，people will not be able to see the Mendenhall glacier from the visitor center that was built for it．That is already the case at some other glacier visitor centers in Alaska．The disappearing glacier leads to problems for the Alaskan tourism industry．
Tourism is an important part of Juneau's economy．About 1．6 million cruise ship passengers are expected to stop in Juneau in 2023．That is the most ever in one year．On especially busy days，20，000 people arrive each day in the city that has only 30，000 full-time people．Cruise ships are large boats with sleeping places that carry tourists from one place to another．Many cruises start a week-long trip to Alaska in either Seattle，Washington，or Vancouver，Canada．
Manoj Pillai is a cruise ship worker from India．He recently got off his ship and went to see the Mendenhall glacier．“The glacier is so beautiful now，” he said．But he wondered what it_looked like 10 or 20 years ago．
Jennifer Dumas lives in Washington，D．C．She knows what Alaska's glaciers looked like in the past．She and her husband first visited the state and its glaciers in the 1990s．She talked about seeing the Mendenhall glacier over 20 years ago．She went to Glacier Bay National Park and spent the night near the Mendenhall glacier．
“Where we used to camp，you could see the glacier．It has retreated so far that you can't see the glacier anymore．So we have pictures of us in front of the glacier，but you can no longer take such pictures，” Jennifer said．
12．How does the author stress the importance of tourism to Alaska
A．By listing the number of tourists．
B．By showing the great benefit from tourism．
C．By describing native people's living conditions．
D．By sharing the government's support．
13．What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 4 refer to
A．The ship．　　　　　　　 B．India．
C．The glacier． D．Juneau．
14．What does the author want to express by mentioning Jennifer Dumas
A．The tourism value of the glacier．
B．The glacier is melting quickly．
C．The glacier is losing its attraction．
D．The memory of visiting the glacier．
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Alaska's Glaciers May Disappear in the Future
B．Alaska Is Challenged by Too Many Tourists
C．It's Time to Take Action to Stop Global Warming
D．Climate Change Influences Alaska's Tourism Industry

House Plants That Are Easy to Grow
Jessica Damiano is an expert at taking care of plants．She writes stories about how to keep plants in good condition． 16 She said it is not that she does not know how to take care of these house plants，but that she just paid no attention to them．She added that the plants are among the hardest to keep alive．
As a result，Damiano chooses house plants that need the least amount of care for her home． 17 She also raises plants that grow well with limited light，and can be moved around．Also，these sorts of house plants are best for beginners to grow．
Chinese evergreen is a beautiful house plant that does well in low-light conditions．Damiano said all you need to do is keep the plant's soil lightly wet at all times and fertilize every other month over the winter and every month for the rest of the year．
The cast iron plant is as strong as its name sounds．Damiano said it does not even want your attention． 18 It prefers electric light or light from a north-facing window．Let the soil dry out between watering and fertilize every other month in summer and autumn and just once during the winter．
One house plant，the aloe plant，can be used for treating burns． 19 That liquid not only protects burned skin，but also the plant．Just place it by a window that provides bright，indirect sunlight and water it every three weeks，and less often during winter．
Similar plants called succulents share aloe plants' ability to store water within their leaves． 20 Most also share aloe plants' lack of requirements，making them a good fit for new plant parents．
A．Avoid providing too much sunlight．
B．But even she has killed house plants．
C．These house plants usually need much attention．
D．She looks for plants that grow well with very little water．
E．There are many other house plants that need little water and sunlight．
F．These sorts of plants usually do well where conditions are dry and warm．
G．When necessary，just cut open a leaf and use the juice from within on an injury．

Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking．Recently，he had entered a new school，so he had no friends yet．One Monday morning，he was nearly late for school．The night before，his family attended his cousin's wedding and reached home late，which was why he couldn't get up on time as usual．At school，Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat．After a few hours，when the bell rang．Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money，but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money．He looked under his books，hoping to find some money but there was nothing．
Not knowing what to do，he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen．He saw a few of his classmates there，among whom was Fahad．He was one of the richest kids in his class．but he was a very arrogant(傲慢的) boy who thought everyone else was a loser． But as Asad was new，he didn't know much about Fahad．When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch．Fahad laughed and said，“I didn't know you were a loser，maybe a beggar？” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation．Asad didn't answer Fahad，and slowly walked back towards an empty bench．
When he reached the bench，he noticed something lying near it．It was a wallet．He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad's，as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him in the UK．There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid．

[参考范文]　
Dear David，
Sad to hear that you're going to return to England soon，I'm writing to thank you for your help with my English study．
To begin with，it was you who invited me to join the English Corner，where I gradually gained confidence to speak English in public．In addition，to help me memorize new words，you often made up interesting stories for me with those words．In a word，I wouldn't have made such great progress in English without your help．
I hope we can keep in touch all the time．Wish you a good journey．
Yours，
Li Hua
第二节
[参考范文]
At first，Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punish Fahad．However，it was not easy．He felt his cheeks blushing and a sense of guilt rising inside of him．Glancing first at Fahad，who was still chatting happily，and then at the wallet in his hand，Asad finally made up his mind．He got up and went straight to Fahad and his group．Upon seeing Asad approach him，Fahad said，“Hey loser! Are you okay Still want the money？” “No，” replied Asad，“I just came to return your wallet，which you have dropped over there．” Fahad stood shocked for a second．All his friends were silent too．
Then Fahad said，“Why are you giving it back？”“Because I was told by my family that ‘honesty won't let you down，’” explained Asad．Fahad avoided Asad's shining eyes．What followed was an awkwardly long silence，which was eventually broken by Asad's stomach growling loudly．Surprisingly，the arrogant boy reached out his hand and asked，“What about having lunch together？” Before Asad could say anything，Fahad quickly added，“Of course，my treat．” It was on that very day that Asad made his first friend in the new school，and he truly recognized the value of sincerity and honesty in a relationship．

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位身患小儿麻痹症而不得不拄拐杖的小提琴家Itzhak Perlman，在一次演出中其演奏用的小提琴断了一根琴弦，但他并没有像常人一样换一把琴或换一根弦，反而将曲子重新编排为三根弦可以演奏的乐曲。
4．C　[细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知，他小时候患有小儿麻痹症，所以现在不得不拄拐杖走路。由此可知，举办音乐会对他来说是具有挑战性的，因为他儿时的疾病使他现在身患残疾。故选C。]
5．B　[推理判断题。由第三段“People thought to themselves，‘He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one．’”可知，通常人们遇到这种情况会换一把小提琴或者换一根琴弦。故选B。]

11．A　[标题归纳题。文章第一段提到东亚人在识别面部表情方面往往比欧洲人更困难，后文中提到的研究也提到了西方人和东方人对面部表情识别时不同的地方：西方人更关注整个面部表情，而东方人更关注眼部的活动。文章最后一段中提到研究文化因素是如何影响这些基本社交技能的，这将有助于我们理解人类的情感。由此判断，文化的差异性也是影响人们阅读情绪情感时的因素。A项“Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions”(情绪阅读时的文化差异)符合文义。故选A。]

14．B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘Where we used to camp，you could see the glacier．It has retreated so far that you can't see the glacier anymore．So we have pictures of us in front of the glacier，but you can no longer take such pictures，’ Jennifer said．”可知，Jennifer说冰川已经退缩了，而且退缩得如此之远，以至于再也看不到冰川了，因此作者通过提及Jennifer的例子，说明了冰川融化得非常快。故选B。]
15．D　[标题归纳题。根据第一段以及通读全文可知，文章介绍了阿拉斯加州门登霍尔冰川的融化以及对旅游业的影响，提到了2023年游船游客数量的增加和门登霍尔冰川对旅游业的重要性，还以游客和居民的亲身经历来说明门登霍尔冰川融化对景观和环境的影响。D选项“Climate Change Influences Alaska's Tourism Industry (气候变化影响阿拉斯加的旅游业)”概括了文章的主要内容，适合作文章标题。故选D。]

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。民意调查显示几乎四分之三的成年人在年轻时参加过体育运动，但只有四分之一的人成年后继续参加体育运动。体育运动不仅能帮助小孩健康成长，同时也能让成年人保持健康和幸福。
36．were　[考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意：最近，一项民意调查发现，尽管几乎四分之三的成年人在年轻时参加过体育运动，但只有四分之一的人成年后继续参加体育运动。分析句子结构可知，成年人小的时候应该是过去事实，应使用一般过去时，且从句中主语they(他们)是复数概念，空处应使用be动词的过去式were。故填were。]
37．In　[考查介词。句意：事实上，近十分之九的初高中孩子参加体育运动的父母说，他们的孩子从体育运动中受益匪浅。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定短语in fact，意为“事实上”。位于句首时首字母大写。故填In。]
38．whose　[考查定语从句。句意：事实上，近十分之九的初高中孩子参加体育运动的父母说，他们的孩子从体育运动中受益匪浅。分析句子结构可知，该句为定语从句，先行词parents(家长)指人，且从句中缺少定语，可使用关系代词whose在从句中作定语。故填whose。]
39．a　[考查冠词。句意：事实上，近十分之九的初高中孩子参加体育运动的父母说，他们的孩子从体育运动中受益匪浅。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定短语a great deal，意为“很多”。故填a。]
40．themselves　[考查代词。句意：而且，虽然大多数成年人自己不再参加体育运动，但大多数父母说，他们的孩子长大后很可能或有可能继续参加体育运动。分析句子结构可知，此处应使用反身代词作句中主语adults(成人)的同位语。故填themselves。]
41．professional　[考查词性转换。句意：四分之一的父母也希望自己的孩子成为职业运动员。分析句子结构可知，空处可使用形容词professional(职业的；专业的)在句中作定语修饰名词athletes(运动员)。故填professional。]
42．weight　[考查词性转换。句意：它们帮助儿童和成人保持合适的体重，教导接纳和团队合作，并为生活在贫困中的儿童扩大机会。分析句子结构和不定冠词a可知，空处可使用单数名词weight(体重)在句中作宾语。故填weight。]
43．living　[考查非谓语动词。句意：它们帮助儿童和成人保持合适的体重，教导接纳和团队合作，并为生活在贫困中的儿童扩大机会。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词expand，空处应使用非谓语动词。children和live之间是逻辑上的主动关系，因此需使用动词-ing形式，作后置定语，故填living。]
44．indicates　[考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意：这项调查表明，我们必须继续鼓励孩子们参加体育运动，但同样重要的是，我们必须找到让成年人参与体育运动的方法，以保持健康和幸福。分析句子结构可知，此处陈述一般事实，且主语this poll为单数形式，空处应使用一般现在时。故填indicates。]
45．to keep　[考查非谓语动词。句意：这项调查表明，我们必须继续鼓励孩子们参加体育运动，但同样重要的是，我们必须找到让成年人参与体育运动的方法，以保持健康和幸福。名词way后常接不定式作后置定语，表示“做某事的方法”，故填to keep。]
