At only 8 years old， Kayzen Hunter has already displayed more character than some people ever manage. It all started about a year ago when the child became a regular diner at the Waffle House in Little Rock， Arkansas. His family goes for breakfast there at least once a week， and they always choose to sit in a certain waiter’s section.
Devonte Gardner is a father of two who works hard for his living. He always has a smile on his face， and he quickly formed a friendly relationship with Kayzen and his family. “I come with a positive attitude，” Devonte said. “I treat everybody with smile. I also love to see everybody smile.” His kindness affected Kayzen. “Devonte is just a really nice person，” he explained. “Really good guy. Super nice to everyone he meets.”
After a year of contact， the child’s family learned the truth behind Devonte’s bright smile. Devonte， his wife， and their two young daughters have been living in a cheap motel for the past eight months. Their former apartment was filled with bugs and had black mold（黑霉）， which made his kids sick. Every cent Devonte makes goes towards keeping his children fed， clothed， and housed， and the struggle was overwhelming. Since he can’t afford a car， he also walks to and from work every day. Even so， he showed up at work every day with a smile on his face， ready to serve and make friends with customers like Kayzen.
Kayzen knew right away that he wanted to help his friend. He went home and told his mom， Vittoria Hunter， that he wanted to start a GoFundMe to help Devonte get money for a new car.
“Devonte is one of the most joyous and positive people you’ve ever met！” Vittoria and Kayzen wrote on the GoFundMe. “He always greets us with the biggest smile. I hope you will help me spread kindness in the world.” Their initial goal was $5，000， but word quickly spread in their community. The GoFundMe currently sits at over $100， 000！

English has surely become the global language. Whenever we turn on the news to find out what’s happening in East Asia， or Africa， or anywhere， people are being interviewed and telling us about it in English.
If people look at the facts about the amazing reach of the English language， many would be surprised. English is used in over 90 countries as an official or semi-official language. English is the working language of many international institutes（研究所） as well as of most international research scientists. It is also the language that Indian parents and black parents wish their children to learn. It is believed that over one billion people worldwide are now learning English.
One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language. English is spreading from northern Europe to the south and is now the second language in countries such as Sweden， Norway， Netherlands and Denmark. If one visits any of them， it would seem that almost everyone there can talk in English.
A report said that at the beginning of 2001，English was the most widely known foreign language with about 43％ of Europeans saying they spoke it. The report also said that with over 89％ of the population speaking English， Sweden now has a large percentage of English speakers. What’s more， English is the language as most useful to know， and over 77％ of Europeans who do not speak English as their first language consider it useful.

All human languages use vowels（元音） and consonants（辅音） to express ideas. Most primates （灵长类） communicate almost using vowel-like calls， but non-human great apes， like chimpanzees， produce consonant-like sounds to varying degrees. This raises the question of where consonants came from， says Adriano Lameira at the University of Warwick. To find out， he studied existing literature to see how common consonants are among the great apes.
it
He found that orangutans（猩猩）， which spend most of their time in the trees： Produce a greater number and variety of consonant sounds than gorillas and chimpanzees living on the ground. “Orangutans have rich sounds like kiss sounds， scrapes and clicks.” says Lameira. They typically use these sounds while building nests or commencing with their young.
Lameira thinks that living in the trees may explain that great apes are experts at processing protected foods. Like nuts， which often requires tools. While living in trees however， orangutans must always use at least one arm to maintain stability. They have therefore developed more complex control of their lips， tongues and jaws， allowing them to use their mouths as a “fifth limb” orangutans can peel oranges just with lips， for example.
This advanced motor skill enables orangutans to make consonant-like sounds， argues Lameira. This could mean that our early ancestors developed consonant sounds while hanging around in the trees， too. “There’s a growing sense that our dependency on trees was much larger and deeper than we think，” says Lameira.
The link between feeding and sounds doesn’t apply to smaller tree-living primates like monkeys， argues Lameira， because their size and tails make them more stable on branches and they eat differently.
“This is an interesting assumption worth testing，” says Chris Petkov at Newcastle University， though he questions some aspects. As humans aren’t tree living， there must be other reasons why consonants remain， which could be tested by characterizing consonant-like sounds more systematically across species， he says.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是研究者发现大部分时间生活在树上 的猩猩比生活在地面上的大猩猩和黑猩猩发出的辅音数量和种类都要多。
12. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to？
A. Why vowels and consonants are used.
B. What ideas the consonants express.
C. How common the consonants are.
D. Where the consonants came from.
答案：D
解析：代词指代题。根据第一段中的“This raises the question of where consonants came from（这就提出了辅音从何而来的问题）”和“he studied existing literature to see how common consonants are among the great apes（他研究了现存的文献，想看看类 人猿的辅音有多普遍）”可知，Adriano Lameira是为了发现辅音从何而来，it指的是 “辅音来自哪里”，故选D。
13. What fact can support Adriano Lamerica’s assumption about orangutans？
A. They build nests with their young.
B. They are skillful in employing tools.
C. They gain advanced motor skill of mouths.
D. They show stability in controlling arms.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While living in trees， however， orangutans must always use at least one arm to maintain stability. They have therefore developed more complex control of their lips， tongues and jaws， allowing them to use their mouths as a ‘fifth limb’ orangutans can peel oranges just with lips， for example.（然而，当生活在 树上时，猩猩必须至少使用一只手臂来保持稳定。因此，它们已经发展出对嘴唇、舌 头和下颚更复杂的控制，使它们能够把嘴作为“第五肢”来使用，例如，猩猩只用嘴 唇就能剥橙子。）”和第四段中的“This advanced motor skill enables orangutans to make consonant-like sounds， argues Lameira.（Lameira认为，这种先进的运动技能使 猩猩能够发出类似辅音的声音。）”可知，支持Adriano Lameira关于猩猩的假设的是 他们获得了高级的嘴巴运动技能，故选C。
14. What can we infer from Adriano Lameira’s findings？
A. Monkeys differ from orangutans in eating habits.
B. Our ancestors depended more on trees than believed.
C. Consonant sounds were made by our earliest ancestors.
D. The link between feeding and sounds applies to monkeys.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This could mean that our early ancestors developed consonant sounds while hanging around in the trees， too. ‘There’s a growing sense that our dependency on trees was much larger and deeper than we think，’ says Lameira.（这可能意味着我们的早期祖先在树上闲逛时也学会了辅音。Lameira说： “人们越来越意识到，我们对树木的依赖比我们想象的要大得多，也要深得 多。”）”可知，从这项发现可知，我们的祖先比人们想象的更依赖树木，故选B。
15. What is Chris Petkov’s attitude to Adriano Lameira’s assumption？
A. Confident. B. Cautious.
C. Opposed. D. Puzzled.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘This is an interesting assumption worth testing，’ says Chris Petkov at Newcastle University， though he questions some aspects. As humans aren’t tree-living， there must be other reasons why consonants remain， which could be tested by characterizing consonant-like sounds more systematically across species， he says.（“这是一个值得检验的 有趣假设，”Newcastle大学的Chris Petkov说，尽管他对某些方面提出了质 疑。他说，由于人类不是在树上生活的，所以辅音保留下来一定有其他原因， 这可以通过在不同物种之间更系统地描述类似辅音的声音来验证。）”可知， 从Chris Petkov的评论可知，他对Adriano Lameira的假设的态度是谨慎的，故选 B。
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。
A. Never let yourself be a big talker.
B. Show off your successful experiences.
C. Of course， each of us has sensitive areas.
D. Get involved in what the interviewer is saying.
E. It can give you an advantage over other applicants.
F. Ask questions to see whether you do feel qualified for the job.
G. Interviewers have the intelligence to recognize genuine interest.
One of the vital factors of successful job hunting is the job interview， during which creating a good impression is essential for you. 16 .
There are two rules to remember. One is to present yourself perfectly and stress your areas of competence. Second， listen carefully. 17 Notice the interviewer’s interests and relate your comments to them.
The job interview is the time to “sell” yourself by giving examples of experiences you’ve had related to the job and by revealing your good points. It’s a good idea to have a handy job résumé（简历） or a list of school courses that prepare you for the job. 18 . Do be honest and avoid just using good words on yourself， but show confidence in yourself and your ability to do the job.
19 They could refer to your lack of an academic degree， a long period of unemployment， or lack of work experience if you are entering a new field. Answer sensitive questions briefly and positively. If you believe that this area presents a real barrier to a job offer， you could be communicating this doubt to the interviewer. Many times， however， an interviewer will ignore these sensitive areas if you have a confident， positive attitude.
The job interview is an important part of the job search， and the attitude and impression can make the interviewer feel “with you” or “against you”. Remember that you have the power to create a favourable impression. 20 .

解析：下文“They could refer to your lack of an academic degree， a long period of unemployment， or lack of work experience if you are entering a new field. （他们可能指 的是你没有学位，长期失业，或者是你刚进入一个新领域时缺乏工作经验。）”说明 了C项中“sensitive areas”的具体内容，是对空处的解释说明。故选C项。
答案：A
答案：C
解析：上文“Remember that you have the power to create a favourable impression.（记 得你有能力去创造受欢迎的印象。）”与首段呼应再次强调留下好印象的重要性，与 空处构成因果关系，创造好印象是因为面试官有能力去识别真正的兴趣。故选G项。

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。
Last weekend，I went to Mark’s new house nearby a forest for a little get-together. After lunch， when I was chatting with him and his wife Cody， he asked me，“Hey Thoran，have you ever been to a secret spot？” Before I could even finish saying no， Cody and Mark were already at the door with their jackets on. And the next moment we were heading out into the forest with a camera， a fishing net and a plastic bucket（桶）.
We walked through the forest along a path by a small river. Breathing the fresh air， we three talked and laughed all the way.
“Hey！ What are you guys doing？” Someone suddenly shouted from behind. Mark and Cody’s eyes immediately widened， and without a word they started running. I had no choice but to follow them， getting my shoes wet and dirty with mud. We probably ran for about 10 minutes before Mark and Cody slowed down. I stopped to catch my breath and asked， “Who was that？”
Mark replied，“The most annoying neighbor ever. If he caught up with us， there’s no telling what could happen. He is always making fun of us. I dislike him.” We kept walking on for a few more minutes. Then a beautiful lake appeared before our eyes. “Wow！ Amazing！” I shouted and could hardly hold back my excitement. The lake was large and the water was deep and blue， looking so peaceful with tall trees around it.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Looking around， we saw a rubber boat floating by the shore.
“Help！ Help！ Help！” I was so frightened and cried for help.
【参考范文】
Looking around， we saw a rubber boat floating by the shore. “How about going boating？” Mark asked. “Good idea.” So we three excitedly jumped onto the boat and rowed far out. I was thrilled to find so many fishes in the lake. Before I could say a word， Mark had cast the fishing net into the water. “Let’s wait and see.” Mark smiled mysteriously. “Look this way. Let me take a photo of you two，” Cody said， taking out the camera. Hearing that，I quickly approached Mark. But all of a sudden I lost my balance and fell into the water.
“Help！ Help！ Help！” I was so frightened and cried for help. However， none of us could swim. Mark and Cody tried to pull me up from the water but in vain. Struggling in the water， I was almost exhausted when I felt myself lifted by someone. It was Mark’s neighbor， who followed us there and saw what had happened. Without hesitation， he jumped into the water and I was saved. From the experience， we all really understand the true meaning of the saying—Don’t judge a book by its cover.

At only 8 years old， Kayzen Hunter has already displayed more character than some people ever manage. It all started about a year ago when the child became a regular diner at the Waffle House in Little Rock， Arkansas. His family goes for breakfast there at least once a week， and they always choose to sit in a certain waiter’s section.
Devonte Gardner is a father of two who works hard for his living. He always has a smile on his face， and he quickly formed a friendly relationship with Kayzen and his family. “I come with a positive attitude，” Devonte said. “I treat everybody with smile. I also love to see everybody smile.” His kindness affected Kayzen. “Devonte is just a really nice person，” he explained. “Really good guy. Super nice to everyone he meets.”
After a year of contact， the child’s family learned the truth behind Devonte’s bright smile. Devonte， his wife， and their two young daughters have been living in a cheap motel for the past eight months. Their former apartment was filled with bugs and had black mold（黑霉）， which made his kids sick. Every cent Devonte makes goes towards keeping his children fed， clothed， and housed， and the struggle was overwhelming. Since he can’t afford a car， he also walks to and from work every day. Even so， he showed up at work every day with a smile on his face， ready to serve and make friends with customers like Kayzen.
Kayzen knew right away that he wanted to help his friend. He went home and told his mom， Vittoria Hunter， that he wanted to start a GoFundMe to help Devonte get money for a new car.
“Devonte is one of the most joyous and positive people you’ve ever met！” Vittoria and Kayzen wrote on the GoFundMe. “He always greets us with the biggest smile. I hope you will help me spread kindness in the world.” Their initial goal was $5，000， but word quickly spread in their community. The GoFundMe currently sits at over $100， 000！

English has surely become the global language. Whenever we turn on the news to find out what’s happening in East Asia， or Africa， or anywhere， people are being interviewed and telling us about it in English.
If people look at the facts about the amazing reach of the English language， many would be surprised. English is used in over 90 countries as an official or semi-official language. English is the working language of many international institutes（研究所） as well as of most international research scientists. It is also the language that Indian parents and black parents wish their children to learn. It is believed that over one billion people worldwide are now learning English.
One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language. English is spreading from northern Europe to the south and is now the second language in countries such as Sweden， Norway， Netherlands and Denmark. If one visits any of them， it would seem that almost everyone there can talk in English.
A report said that at the beginning of 2001，English was the most widely known foreign language with about 43％ of Europeans saying they spoke it. The report also said that with over 89％ of the population speaking English， Sweden now has a large percentage of English speakers. What’s more， English is the language as most useful to know， and over 77％ of Europeans who do not speak English as their first language consider it useful.

All human languages use vowels（元音） and consonants（辅音） to express ideas. Most primates （灵长类） communicate almost using vowel-like calls， but non-human great apes， like chimpanzees， produce consonant-like sounds to varying degrees. This raises the question of where consonants came from， says Adriano Lameira at the University of Warwick. To find out， he studied existing literature to see how common consonants are among the great apes.
it
He found that orangutans（猩猩）， which spend most of their time in the trees： Produce a greater number and variety of consonant sounds than gorillas and chimpanzees living on the ground. “Orangutans have rich sounds like kiss sounds， scrapes and clicks.” says Lameira. They typically use these sounds while building nests or commencing with their young.
Lameira thinks that living in the trees may explain that great apes are experts at processing protected foods. Like nuts， which often requires tools. While living in trees however， orangutans must always use at least one arm to maintain stability. They have therefore developed more complex control of their lips， tongues and jaws， allowing them to use their mouths as a “fifth limb” orangutans can peel oranges just with lips， for example.
This advanced motor skill enables orangutans to make consonant-like sounds， argues Lameira. This could mean that our early ancestors developed consonant sounds while hanging around in the trees， too. “There’s a growing sense that our dependency on trees was much larger and deeper than we think，” says Lameira.
The link between feeding and sounds doesn’t apply to smaller tree-living primates like monkeys， argues Lameira， because their size and tails make them more stable on branches and they eat differently.
“This is an interesting assumption worth testing，” says Chris Petkov at Newcastle University， though he questions some aspects. As humans aren’t tree living， there must be other reasons why consonants remain， which could be tested by characterizing consonant-like sounds more systematically across species， he says.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是研究者发现大部分时间生活在树上 的猩猩比生活在地面上的大猩猩和黑猩猩发出的辅音数量和种类都要多。
12. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to？
A. Why vowels and consonants are used.
B. What ideas the consonants express.
C. How common the consonants are.
D. Where the consonants came from.
答案：D
解析：代词指代题。根据第一段中的“This raises the question of where consonants came from（这就提出了辅音从何而来的问题）”和“he studied existing literature to see how common consonants are among the great apes（他研究了现存的文献，想看看类 人猿的辅音有多普遍）”可知，Adriano Lameira是为了发现辅音从何而来，it指的是 “辅音来自哪里”，故选D。
13. What fact can support Adriano Lamerica’s assumption about orangutans？
A. They build nests with their young.
B. They are skillful in employing tools.
C. They gain advanced motor skill of mouths.
D. They show stability in controlling arms.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While living in trees， however， orangutans must always use at least one arm to maintain stability. They have therefore developed more complex control of their lips， tongues and jaws， allowing them to use their mouths as a ‘fifth limb’ orangutans can peel oranges just with lips， for example.（然而，当生活在 树上时，猩猩必须至少使用一只手臂来保持稳定。因此，它们已经发展出对嘴唇、舌 头和下颚更复杂的控制，使它们能够把嘴作为“第五肢”来使用，例如，猩猩只用嘴 唇就能剥橙子。）”和第四段中的“This advanced motor skill enables orangutans to make consonant-like sounds， argues Lameira.（Lameira认为，这种先进的运动技能使 猩猩能够发出类似辅音的声音。）”可知，支持Adriano Lameira关于猩猩的假设的是 他们获得了高级的嘴巴运动技能，故选C。
14. What can we infer from Adriano Lameira’s findings？
A. Monkeys differ from orangutans in eating habits.
B. Our ancestors depended more on trees than believed.
C. Consonant sounds were made by our earliest ancestors.
D. The link between feeding and sounds applies to monkeys.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This could mean that our early ancestors developed consonant sounds while hanging around in the trees， too. ‘There’s a growing sense that our dependency on trees was much larger and deeper than we think，’ says Lameira.（这可能意味着我们的早期祖先在树上闲逛时也学会了辅音。Lameira说： “人们越来越意识到，我们对树木的依赖比我们想象的要大得多，也要深得 多。”）”可知，从这项发现可知，我们的祖先比人们想象的更依赖树木，故选B。
15. What is Chris Petkov’s attitude to Adriano Lameira’s assumption？
A. Confident. B. Cautious.
C. Opposed. D. Puzzled.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘This is an interesting assumption worth testing，’ says Chris Petkov at Newcastle University， though he questions some aspects. As humans aren’t tree-living， there must be other reasons why consonants remain， which could be tested by characterizing consonant-like sounds more systematically across species， he says.（“这是一个值得检验的 有趣假设，”Newcastle大学的Chris Petkov说，尽管他对某些方面提出了质 疑。他说，由于人类不是在树上生活的，所以辅音保留下来一定有其他原因， 这可以通过在不同物种之间更系统地描述类似辅音的声音来验证。）”可知， 从Chris Petkov的评论可知，他对Adriano Lameira的假设的态度是谨慎的，故选 B。

There are two rules to remember. One is to present yourself perfectly and stress your areas of competence. Second， listen carefully. 17 Notice the interviewer’s interests and relate your comments to them.
The job interview is the time to “sell” yourself by giving examples of experiences you’ve had related to the job and by revealing your good points. It’s a good idea to have a handy job résumé（简历） or a list of school courses that prepare you for the job. 18 .

If you believe that this area presents a real barrier to a job offer， you could be communicating this doubt to the interviewer. Many times， however， an interviewer will ignore these sensitive areas if you have a confident， positive attitude.
The job interview is an important part of the job search， and the attitude and impression can make the interviewer feel “with you” or “against you”. Remember that you have the power to create a favourable impression. 20 .

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。
Last weekend，I went to Mark’s new house nearby a forest for a little get-together. After lunch， when I was chatting with him and his wife Cody， he asked me，“Hey Thoran，have you ever been to a secret spot？” Before I could even finish saying no， Cody and Mark were already at the door with their jackets on. And the next moment we were heading out into the forest with a camera， a fishing net and a plastic bucket（桶）.
We walked through the forest along a path by a small river. Breathing the fresh air， we three talked and laughed all the way.
“Hey！ What are you guys doing？” Someone suddenly shouted from behind. Mark and Cody’s eyes immediately widened， and without a word they started running. I had no choice but to follow them， getting my shoes wet and dirty with mud. We probably ran for about 10 minutes before Mark and Cody slowed down. I stopped to catch my breath and asked， “Who was that？”
Mark replied，“The most annoying neighbor ever. If he caught up with us， there’s no telling what could happen. He is always making fun of us. I dislike him.” We kept walking on for a few more minutes. Then a beautiful lake appeared before our eyes. “Wow！ Amazing！” I shouted and could hardly hold back my excitement. The lake was large and the water was deep and blue， looking so peaceful with tall trees around it.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Looking around， we saw a rubber boat floating by the shore.
“Help！ Help！ Help！” I was so frightened and cried for help.
【参考范文】
Looking around， we saw a rubber boat floating by the shore. “How about going boating？” Mark asked. “Good idea.” So we three excitedly jumped onto the boat and rowed far out. I was thrilled to find so many fishes in the lake. Before I could say a word， Mark had cast the fishing net into the water. “Let’s wait and see.” Mark smiled mysteriously. “Look this way. Let me take a photo of you two，” Cody said， taking out the camera. Hearing that，I quickly approached Mark. But all of a sudden I lost my balance and fell into the water.
“Help！ Help！ Help！” I was so frightened and cried for help. However， none of us could swim. Mark and Cody tried to pull me up from the water but in vain. Struggling in the water， I was almost exhausted when I felt myself lifted by someone. It was Mark’s neighbor， who followed us there and saw what had happened. Without hesitation， he jumped into the water and I was saved. From the experience， we all really understand the true meaning of the saying—Don’t judge a book by its cover.
