As we all know，it is difficult to start a friendship but it is even more difficult to keep one．Recently I've understood it better for I experienced both the pain of the potential of losing a close friend and the joy of regaining one．
In primary school，I was just an ordinary student，shy and a little awkward．However，Jenny was outgoing，confident and helpful，which made her popular among our classmates．One day，when I felt upset for failing an important maths test，Jenny came to my aid，cheering me up，and we talked a lot．Since then，a close friendship has grown between us and she has been like a sister to me．Up to now，we have been good friends for eight years．We're always together，walking to school，doing our homework or just hanging out on weekends．Everyone will feel surprised if we're not seen playing together．But last Saturday，what she did really made me feel heartbroken．
We had intended to see a new film at the cinema that day，but in the morning she called me，saying she had a bad cold and wanted to rest at home instead of going out for a film．“Never mind，”I told her． “We can watch the film when you're better．”
However，a horrible surprise hit me on the next Monday．A classmate of mine told me she had seen Jenny chatting with another girl in a cafe on Saturday afternoon．Why did she cheat me I exploded with anger and ignored her during school all day，without responding to her online messages．Actually，this stressful situation made me confused and sleepless in the night．
To my surprise，I found an envelope in my desk drawer on Tuesday morning after taking my seat in the classroom．__________________

Ⅰ．阅读理解
A
A simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture．A new finding suggests that parents，social workers，psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words．
课时分层作业(三)
Gestures can be as informative as speech，but hand gestures are so common that we rarely notice we're using them．
While the recall of both adults and children is easy to react to suggestions，the memories of children are known to be particularly influenced，said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University．Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally．
Previous research，for example，has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers; when asked，say “Did you drink juice at the picnic？”，the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available．It is not that the child is consciously lying，but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory．
To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions，such as “What did you have at the picnic？” But an open-ended question paired with a gesture，briefly meaning a juice box，is treated like a detailed question．That is，children become likely to answer falsely．
And it isn't just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture．“Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users，such as little kids，”Broaders said，“as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases．It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children．”
In general，Broaders advises parents and other adults to try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event．
Otherwise，you might be getting answers that don't reflect what actually happened．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了成年人的手势对孩子的影响。专家建议父母和其他成年人在向孩子询问某件事时，尽量注意自己的手势，以免对孩子产生误导。
1．What do we know about gestures according to the text
A．They have a certain effect on children．
B．They are rarely used by people．
C．They have no function at all．
D．They are often used by social workers．
A [推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知，手势对孩子有特定的影响。故选A。]
√
2．Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders
A．These gestures are very attractive．
B．Their memories are affected easily．
C．Children are easy to tell lies．
D．These gestures are used frequently．
B [细节理解题。通读全文，并结合第三段第一句可知，孩子容易受手势影响的原因是孩子的记忆容易被影响。故选B。]
√
3．What does the underlined word “impart” in paragraph 6 mean
A．Separate． B．Tell apart．
C．Confuse． D．Pass on．
D [词义猜测题。根据第六段画线词所在句的前半句可知，手势在语言沟通不顺畅时可以起到帮助作用，传递信息，因此可以推断，画线词“impart”与“pass on”同义，表示“传递”。故选D。]
√
4．Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A．Gestures—A Useful Way of Education
B．Gestures Can Mislead Children
C．Gestures Mean Adult's Directions
D．Gestures Affect Children Much
B [标题归纳题。本文主要讲述的是手势对孩子的影响，结合第一段最后一句及第三段最后一句可知，“Gestures Can Mislead Children(手势会误导孩子)”最适合作为本文标题。故选B。]

B
Scientists have mapped oceanic “dead zones” from the Pliocene，about 5.3 to 2.6 million years ago，when Earth's temperature was two to three degrees higher than today．This could offer insight into the future locations and effects of low oxygen areas in a warmer Earth's oceans．
Oxygen minimum zones，or OMZs，are regions in the ocean with lower oxygen levels in the mid-waters to support marine life．These dead zones play an important role in the ocean's overall health．“Their locations show where carbon and nitrogen (氮) are available in the ocean —so they're important drivers of nutrient cycles，” says Catherine Davis，assistant professor at North Carolina State University．
Being able to predict the location of OMZs is important not only for understanding nutrient cycling but also because of their effects on marine life．Oceanic dead zones restrict the range of animals to the shallow surface ocean where oxygen is more plentiful．Davis and her colleagues wanted to figure out how a warmer climate might impact future OMZs．So they looked to the Pliocene，when the Earth's atmospheric CO2 levels were close to what they are now．
“This is the first global spatial reconstruction of oxygen minimum zones in the past，” Davis says．“And it's in line with what we're already seeing in the Atlantic in terms of lower oxygen levels．Warmer water holds less oxygen．This dead zone map from the Pliocene could give us insight into what the Atlantic might look like 100 years from now．”
What would a future with much less oxygen in the Atlantic mean According to Davis，it could have a big impact on everything from carbon storage and nutrient cycling in the ocean to how fisheries and marine species are managed．“OMZs act as a ‘floor’ for marine animals—are pushed to the surface，” Davis says．“So fishermen may suddenly see a lot of fish，but it doesn't mean that there are actually more than normal —they're just being forced into a smaller space．” Fisheries will need to take the effects of OMZs into account when managing populations．
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了科学家们绘制出了上新世的海洋中的OMZs，从而去推测大西洋100年后的样子，以及未来大西洋里的氧气少得多意味着什么。
5．What does Catherine Davis say about OMZs
A．They have lower carbon levels．
B．They may affect the ocean's health．
C．They make Earth's temperature higher．
D．They have the highest oxygen levels．
√
B [推理判断题。根据第二段的“‘Their locations show where carbon and nitrogen are available in the ocean —so they're important drivers of nutrient cycles，’ says Catherine Davis，assistant professor at North Carolina State University．”可推断，海洋中低氧地区对于海洋中的营养循环是很关键的，可能影响海洋的健康。故选B项。]
6．How do OMZs benefit marine life
A．They offer more oxygen．
B．They make the climate more pleasant．
C．They drive animals to areas with more oxygen．
D．They attract more scientists to research the ocean．
√
C [细节理解题。根据第三段的“Being able to predict the location of OMZs is important not only for understanding nutrient cycling but also because of their effects on marine life．Oceanic dead zones restrict the range of animals to the shallow surface ocean where oxygen is more plentiful．”可知，这些低氧地区的存在可以让动物们主要活动在氧气比较充足的浅水区，从而有利于海洋生命的生存。故选C项。]
7．Which field is most probably influenced by OMZs
A．Fishing． B．Farming．
C．Education． D．Travel．
A [推理判断题。根据第五段的“‘So fishermen may suddenly see a lot of fish，but it doesn't mean that there are actually more than normal —they're just being forced into a smaller space．’ Fisheries will need to take the effects of OMZs into account when managing populations．” 可推断，渔业最有可能受到OMZs的影响。故选A项。]
√
8．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Scientists Have Mapped Future Oceans
B．Animals in the Ocean Will Benefit from OMZs
C．“Dead Zones” in the Old Times Will Appear Again
D．The Map of Ancient Ocean “Dead Zones” Could Predict Future Oceans
√
D [标题归纳题。根据第一段以及倒数第二段可知，本文主要介绍了科学家绘制了古代海洋中的低氧区域的地图，通过这张地图可以对未来100年后海洋的状况进行预测，所以D项“The Map of Ancient Ocean ‘Dead Zones’ Could Predict Future Oceans(古代海洋‘死亡区’地图可以预测未来的海洋)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。]

B
Scientists have mapped oceanic “dead zones” from the Pliocene，about 5.3 to 2.6 million years ago，when Earth's temperature was two to three degrees higher than today．This could offer insight into the future locations and effects of low oxygen areas in a warmer Earth's oceans．
Oxygen minimum zones，or OMZs，are regions in the ocean with lower oxygen levels in the mid-waters to support marine life．These dead zones play an important role in the ocean's overall health．“Their locations show where carbon and nitrogen (氮) are available in the ocean —so they're important drivers of nutrient cycles，” says Catherine Davis，assistant professor at North Carolina State University．
Being able to predict the location of OMZs is important not only for understanding nutrient cycling but also because of their effects on marine life．Oceanic dead zones restrict the range of animals to the shallow surface ocean where oxygen is more plentiful．Davis and her colleagues wanted to figure out how a warmer climate might impact future OMZs．So they looked to the Pliocene，when the Earth's atmospheric CO2 levels were close to what they are now．
“This is the first global spatial reconstruction of oxygen minimum zones in the past，” Davis says．“And it's in line with what we're already seeing in the Atlantic in terms of lower oxygen levels．Warmer water holds less oxygen．This dead zone map from the Pliocene could give us insight into what the Atlantic might look like 100 years from now．”
What would a future with much less oxygen in the Atlantic mean According to Davis，it could have a big impact on everything from carbon storage and nutrient cycling in the ocean to how fisheries and marine species are managed．“OMZs act as a ‘floor’ for marine animals—are pushed to the surface，” Davis says．“So fishermen may suddenly see a lot of fish，but it doesn't mean that there are actually more than normal —they're just being forced into a smaller space．” Fisheries will need to take the effects of OMZs into account when managing populations．
5．What does Catherine Davis say about OMZs
A．They have lower carbon levels．
B．They may affect the ocean's health．
C．They make Earth's temperature higher．
D．They have the highest oxygen levels．
6．How do OMZs benefit marine life
A．They offer more oxygen．
B．They make the climate more pleasant．
C．They drive animals to areas with more oxygen．
D．They attract more scientists to research the ocean．
7．Which field is most probably influenced by OMZs
A．Fishing． B．Farming．
C．Education． D．Travel．
8．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Scientists Have Mapped Future Oceans
B．Animals in the Ocean Will Benefit from OMZs
C．“Dead Zones” in the Old Times Will Appear Again
D．The Map of Ancient Ocean “Dead Zones” Could Predict Future Oceans

Ⅰ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了成年人的手势对孩子的影响。专家建议父母和其他成年人在向孩子询问某件事时，尽量注意自己的手势，以免对孩子产生误导。
1．A [推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知，手势对孩子有特定的影响。故选A。]
2．B [细节理解题。通读全文，并结合第三段第一句可知，孩子容易受手势影响的原因是孩子的记忆容易被影响。故选B。]
3．D [词义猜测题。根据第六段画线词所在句的前半句可知，手势在语言沟通不顺畅时可以起到帮助作用，传递信息，因此可以推断，画线词“impart”与“pass on”同义，表示“传递”。故选D。]
4．B [标题归纳题。本文主要讲述的是手势对孩子的影响，结合第一段最后一句及第三段最后一句可知，“Gestures Can Mislead Children(手势会误导孩子)”最适合作为本文标题。故选B。]
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了科学家们绘制出了上新世的海洋中的OMZs，从而去推测大西洋100年后的样子，以及未来大西洋里的氧气少得多意味着什么。
5．B [推理判断题。根据第二段的“‘Their locations show where carbon and nitrogen are available in the ocean —so they're important drivers of nutrient cycles，’ says Catherine Davis，assistant professor at North Carolina State University．”可推断，海洋中低氧地区对于海洋中的营养循环是很关键的，可能影响海洋的健康。故选B项。]
6．C [细节理解题。根据第三段的“Being able to predict the location of OMZs is important not only for understanding nutrient cycling but also because of their effects on marine life．Oceanic dead zones restrict the range of animals to the shallow surface ocean where oxygen is more plentiful．”可知，这些低氧地区的存在可以让动物们主要活动在氧气比较充足的浅水区，从而有利于海洋生命的生存。故选C项。]
7．A [推理判断题。根据第五段的“‘So fishermen may suddenly see a lot of fish，but it doesn't mean that there are actually more than normal —they're just being forced into a smaller space．’ Fisheries will need to take the effects of OMZs into account when managing populations．” 可推断，渔业最有可能受到OMZs的影响。故选A项。]
8．D [标题归纳题。根据第一段以及倒数第二段可知，本文主要介绍了科学家绘制了古代海洋中的低氧区域的地图，通过这张地图可以对未来100年后海洋的状况进行预测，所以D项“The Map of Ancient Ocean ‘Dead Zones’ Could Predict Future Oceans(古代海洋‘死亡区’地图可以预测未来的海洋)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。]
