第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When
was
the
last
time
someone
did
something
unexpectedly
nice
for
you？Not
someone
you
knew,
but
a
total
stranger？It's
happened
to
me
a
few
times,
but
two
instances
really
stand
out.
A
few
years
ago,
I
was
dining
out
with
a
person
who
kept
going
on
and
on
about
himself,
completely
unaware
of
the
fact
that
I
was
sitting
there
in
misery
(痛苦).
It
wasn't
his
company
that
disappointed
me.
I
was
recovering
from
a
bad
grade
in
my
study.
I
could
have
collapsed
(崩溃)
in
tears
right
there
at
the
table.
When
we
picked
up
the
check,
the
waitress
said,
“Your
meal
was
already
paid
for.”
My
friend
and
I
didn't
have
a
clue
how
it
happened.
Then
I
remembered
a
man
coming
in
out
of
the
corner
of
my
eye.
He
was
dressed
in
mostly
white,
sat
down
at
the
bar,
had
a
glass
of
wine,
stayed
for
maybe
ten
minutes,
and
then
left.
The
waitress
said,
“Yes,
the
gentleman
who
was
in
here
a
while
ago
paid
for
you.”
Just
last
year,
I
was
running
a
half marathon.
With
just
0.1
miles
to
go,
I
was
out
of
gas.
Runners
call
it
“hitting
the
wall”；
I
thought
I
couldn't
move
another
muscle.
Out
of
nowhere,
a
teenager
jogs
up
next
to
me
and
says,
“What's
your
name,
sweetie？Jennifer
Okay,
Jennifer,
let's
go!
Come
on!
It's
just
around
the
corner!
You
can
do
it！”
And
he
ran
with
me
until
I
picked
up
my
pace.
I
found
him
at
the
finish
line
to
thank
him
for
the
encouragement
only
to
learn
he
wasn't
even
supposed
to
be
in
the
race
that
day.
He
was
running
in
place
of
someone
else.
I
still
shake
my
head
when
I
think
of
these
momentary
angels
that
came
to
me
at
my
point
of
need.
Do
you
have
any
experiences
like
this
语篇解读：在有困难时得到陌生人的帮助，你会感到非常难忘。作者通过自己的两次经历感觉到，陌生人的关爱温暖人心。

enjoy
her
meal
quietly.
C．Because
her
friend
complained
so
much.

was
doing

her

C．Two
Unbelievable
Experiences
D．Hitting
the
Wall
B
Some
kids
start
to
drink
alcohol
at
a
young
age.
They
think
it
is
part
of
becoming
an
adult.
They
also
think
drinking
is
not
that
bad
because
so
many
people
do
it.
They
feel
it
is
not
as
bad
as
taking
drugs.
It
is
easy
for
kids
to
get
liquor
(酒精饮料)
by
using
fake
identification
(伪造证件).
Parents
may
start
to
notice
a
change
in
their
child's
behavior
if
the
child
starts
drinking.
Kids
who
drink
sometimes
stop
doing
things
they
normally
liked
to
do.
They
may
keep
telephone
calls
and
meetings
a
secret
and
not
want
anybody
to
touch
their
things.
They
act
moody
(喜怒无常地)
and
do
not
have
the
same
eating
and
sleeping
habits.
Parents
need
to
stay
involved
in
their
kids'
lives.
They
should
talk
to
their
children
about
their
problems
to
be
aware
of
any
changes.
Parents
can
be
the
best
protection.
Children
who
get
a
lot
of
love
can
feel
good
about
themselves.
It
helps
them
resist
(抵抗)
doing
bad
things
even
when
other
kids
are
doing
them.
Parents
can
also
help
set
a
good
example
by
not
drinking.
They
can
have
firm
rules
in
the
home
that
everyone
follows.
Give
the
children
good
ideas
on
how
to
say
“no”
to
drinking,
even
when
they
are
at
a
party.
Try
not
to
overreact
or
panic
(惊慌)
if
the
child
tries
alcohol.
How
you
handle
it
can
affect
their
attitude.
It
may
be
helpful
to
talk
to
other
parents
about
setting
up
curfews
(宵禁令)
and
rules
about
parties
or
other
events.
25．According
to
the
passage,
what
changes
may
happen
to
the
kids
who
start
drinking
A．Nothing
serious
will
happen
to
them.
B．They
keep
the
same
eating
and
sleeping
habits.
C．They
can
control
their
moods
quite
well.
D．Sometimes
they
act
secretly.
26．According
to
the
writer,
if
parents
find
their
children
try
alcohol,
they
had
better
________.
A．punish
them
at
once
B．ask
the
police
for
help
C．ask
their
children's
friends
for
help
D．set
up
curfews
and
rules
about
parties
or
other
events
with
other
parents

the
passage
A．Teen
health.
B．Teen
education.

the
last
sentence
of
the
first

buy
liquor
according
to
the
law

buy
liquor
without
using
fake
identification
C．there
isn't
any
ban

C
The
Royal
Horticulture
Society
(RHS)
finds
that
women
gardeners'
voices
speed
up
the
growth
of
tomato
plants
much
more
than
men's.
In
an
experiment,
the
research
found
that
tomato
plants
grew
up
to
two
inches
taller
if
they
were
sung
to
by
a
female
rather
than
a
male.
The
most
effective
voice
came
from
Sarah
Darwin,
whose
great great
grandfather
was
the
botanist
(植物学家),
Charles
Darwin,
one
of
the
founding
fathers
of
the
RHS.
She
read
a
passage
from
On
the
Origin
of
Species
and
beat
nine
other
“voices”.
Her
plant
grew
nearly
two
inches
taller
than
the
best
performing
male
and
half
an
inch
taller
than
her
nearest
competitor.
Colin
Crosbie,
Garden
Manager
at
the
RHS,
said,
“We
just
don't
know
why.
It
could
be
because
they
have
a
greater
range
of
pitch
(音高)
and
tone
(音色)
that
affects
the
sound
waves
that
hit
the
plant.
Sound
waves
are
an
environmental
effect
just
like
rain
or
light.”
In
the
experiment,
every
plant
was
played
a
different
voice,
and
the
environmental
conditions
for
all
the
plants
remained
the
same
throughout
the
experiment.
To
prove
the
results
of
the
experiment,
two
plants
were
also
left
to
grow
in
silence.
The
results
showed
that
women's
plants
rose
by
an
inch
more
than
men's
and
much
more
than
the
plants
left
in
complete
silence.
Miss
Darwin
said,
“I'm
not
sure
if
it's
my
sweet
tones
or
the
text
that
I
read
from
On
the
Origin
of
Species
that
made
the
plants
listen,
but
either
way,
I
think
it
is
an
honor
to
have
such
a
voice,
and
especially
fitting
for
me,
because
for
years
I
have
been
studying
wild
tomatoes
at
the
Natural
History
Museum
(NHM)
in
London.

Elephants
have
four
distinct
personalities
that
help
their
hard
survive
in
the
African
bush,
scientists
have
found.
With
their
grey
skin,
mournful
eyes
and
slow
plodding
gait,
you
could
be
forgiven
for
thinking
elephants
are
uniformly
melancholy
(忧郁的)
creatures.
But
scientists
have
now
discovered
the
largest
living
land
animals
have
personalities
to
match
their
size.
In
a
new
study
of
African
elephants,
researchers
have
identified
four
distinct
characters
that
are
prevalent
with
a
herd
—
the
leaders,
the
gentle
giants,
the
playful
rogues
and
the
reliable
plodders
(辛勤工作的人)．
Each
of
the
types
has
developed
to
help
the
giant
mammals
survive
in
their
harsh
environment
and
are
almost
unique
in
the
animal
kingdom,
according
to
the
scientists.
Professor
Lee
and
her
colleague
Cynthia
Moss
studied
a
herd
of
elephants
in
the
Amboseli
National
Park
in
Kenya
known
as
the
EB
family
—
famous
for
their
matriarch
(女家长)
Echo
before
she
died
in
2009.
Using
data
collected
over
38
years
of
watching
this
group,
the
researchers
analysed
them
for
26
types
of
behaviour
and
found
four
personality
traits
tended
to
come
to
the
fore.
The
strongest
personality
to
emerge
was
that
of
the
leader
unlike
other
animals,
where
leadership
tends
to
be
won
by
the
most
dominant
and
aggressive
individual,
the
elephants
instead
respected
intelligence
and
problem
solving
in
their
leader.
The
playful
elephants
tended
to
be
younger
but
were
more
curious
and
active.
Eudora,
a
40 year old
female
in
the
herd,
seemed
to
be
the
most
playful,
consistently
showing
this
trait
throughout
her
life
while
playfulness
in
some
of
the
other
elephants
declined
with
age.
Gentle
elephants,
which
included
two
27 year old
females
Eleanor
and
Eliot,
caressed
and
rubbed
against
others
more
than
the
others.
Those
that
were
reliable
tended
to
be
those
that
were
most
consistent
at
making
good
decisions,
helped
to
care
for
infants
in
the
herd
and
were
calm
when
faced
with
threats.
Echo
and
her
youngest
daughter
Ebony
seemed
to
be
the
most
reliable.
Professor
Lee
said
that
elephants
with
these
traits
tended
to
be
the
most
socially
integrated
in
the
group
while
those
who
tended
to
be
less
reliable
and
pushy
were
more
likely
to
split
from
the
herd.

All
over
the
world,
animals
and
plants
are
in
trouble.
People
are
trying
to
find
ways
to
help
them.
__36__
Adopt
an
animal.
Many
zoos
and
wildlife
organizations
have
programs
that
let
kids
donate
money
to
help
specific
endangered
animals.
__37__
Don't
release
fish
or
pets
onto
the
wild.
__38__
Chances
are
that
your
pet
is
not
native
to
where
your
live.
Setting
loose,
it
might
become
an
invasive
(侵略性的)
species,
or
it
might
spread
parasites
(寄生虫).

keep
your
fish
in
their
tank,

Once
upon
a
time
there
lived
an
old
man
in
a
nice
cottage
with
a
large
garden.
The
old
man
was
seen
__41__
his
flowers
all
the
time.
They
were
so
well tended
that
every
passer by
could
not
but
__42__
for
a
glance.
One
day
a
young
man
went
by
the
garden.
He
gazed
at
the
splendid
garden,
__43__
in
admiration
at
the
beauty
of
these
sceneries.
Then,
suddenly
he
__44__
the
old
gardener
was
blind.
__45__，
the
young
man
asked,
“Why
are
you
busy
tending
these
flowers
every
day
which
you
can't
__46__
in
fact？”
The
old
man
smiled
and
answered
that
“I
can
tell
you
__47__
reasons.
First
I
was
a
__48__
when
I
was
young,
and
I
really
like
this
job.
Second,
although
I
can't
see
these
flowers,
yet
I
can
__49__
them.
Third,
I
can
smell
sweetness
of
them.
As
to
the
last
one,
that's
__50__.”
“Me
But
you
don't
know
me，”
responded
the
young
man
__51__.
“Yeah,
it's
__52__
that
I
don't
know
you.
But
I
know
everyone
knows
flowers
and
would
never
__53__
them
down.
I
know
the
beauty
of
my
garden
will
get
many
people
into
a
good
__54__.
In
the
meantime,
it
also
__55__
a
chance
to
me
to
have
a
word
with
you
here
and
to
enjoy
the
happiness
these
flowers
have
brought
us.”
The
old
man's
__56__
astonished
me.
The
blind
man
grows
flowers
and
__57__
them
as
a
link
of
minds
so
as
to
make
__58__
enjoy
the
sunshine
in
spring.
Isn't
it
one
kind
of
happiness
I
believe
every
flower
has
__59__
with
which
they
can
see
the
kindness
of
the
man's
heart.
The
blind
man
grows
flowers
in
his
heart.
Though
__60__
to
see
the
beauty
of
blossoming,
he
surely
can
hear
the
voice
of
it,
I
suppose.

Miss
Jenkins
was
born
into
a
rich
family.
She
liked
foods
that
were
high
in
fat
and
sugar.
So
she
got
fatter
and
fatter.
Her
workmates
often
laughed
at
her
because
of
this.
She
was
angry
with
them.
But
her
weight
brought
her
even
more
trouble.
Men
weren't
interested
in
someone
so
fat,
so
she
was
afraid
that
she
would
never
have
a
boyfriend
or
husband.
She
went
to
see
many
doctors.
They
gave
her
a
list
of
healthy
diets
and
advised
her
to
lose
weight.
Of
course
it
was
difficult
for
her
to
do
so.
For
example,
it
was
her
birthday
one
day.
She
went
to
a
shop
and
bought
a
nice
cake.
The
shop
assistant
asked
her
how
many
pieces
she
wanted
him
to
cut
it
into.
She
thought
for
a
while
and
said
she
was
losing
weight,
so
the
cake
should
be
cut
only
into
two,
not
into
six!
17．Why
did
the
woman
get
fatter
A．Because
there
was
something
wrong
with
her.
B．Because
she
liked
foods
rich
in
fat
and
sugar.
C．Because
she
never
did
any
sports.
18．What
do
we
know
about
the
woman's
workmates
A．They
tried
to
make
her
trust
herself.
B．They
helped
her
to

第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When
was
the
last
time
someone
did
something
unexpectedly
nice
for
you？Not
someone
you
knew,
but
a
total
stranger？It's
happened
to
me
a
few
times,
but
two
instances
really
stand
out.
A
few
years
ago,
I
was
dining
out
with
a
person
who
kept
going
on
and
on
about
himself,
completely
unaware
of
the
fact
that
I
was
sitting
there
in
misery
(痛苦).
It
wasn't
his
company
that
disappointed
me.
I
was
recovering
from
a
bad
grade
in
my
study.
I
could
have
collapsed
(崩溃)
in
tears
right
there
at
the
table.
When
we
picked
up
the
check,
the
waitress
said,
“Your
meal
was
already
paid
for.”
My
friend
and
I
didn't
have
a
clue
how
it
happened.
Then
I
remembered
a
man
coming
in
out
of
the
corner
of
my
eye.
He
was
dressed
in
mostly
white,
sat
down
at
the
bar,
had
a
glass
of
wine,
stayed
for
maybe
ten
minutes,
and
then
left.
The
waitress
said,
“Yes,
the
gentleman
who
was
in
here
a
while
ago
paid
for
you.”
Just
last
year,
I
was
running
a
half marathon.
With
just
0.1
miles
to
go,
I
was
out
of
gas.
Runners
call
it
“hitting
the
wall”；
I
thought
I
couldn't
move
another
muscle.
Out
of
nowhere,
a
teenager
jogs
up
next
to
me
and
says,
“What's
your
name,
sweetie？Jennifer
Okay,
Jennifer,
let's
go!
Come
on!
It's
just
around
the
corner!
You
can
do
it！”
And
he
ran
with
me
until
I
picked
up
my
pace.
I
found
him
at
the
finish
line
to
thank
him
for
the
encouragement
only
to
learn
he
wasn't
even
supposed
to
be
in
the
race
that
day.
He
was
running
in
place
of
someone
else.
I
still
shake
my
head
when
I
think
of
these
momentary
angels
that
came
to
me
at
my
point
of
need.
Do
you
have
any
experiences
like
this
语篇解读：在有困难时得到陌生人的帮助，你会感到非常难忘。作者通过自己的两次经历感觉到，陌生人的关爱温暖人心。

解析：选A 标题归纳题。文章第一段便讲述了文章的主题。第一句中的“something
unexpectedly
nice
for
you”说明了作者想在下文谈的内容，由此可知答案选A项。
B
Some
kids
start
to
drink
alcohol
at
a
young
age.
They
think
it
is
part
of
becoming
an
adult.
They
also
think
drinking
is
not
that
bad
because
so
many
people
do
it.
They
feel
it
is
not
as
bad
as
taking
drugs.
It
is
easy
for
kids
to
get
liquor
(酒精饮料)
by
using
fake
identification
(伪造证件).
Parents
may
start
to
notice
a
change
in
their
child's
behavior
if
the
child
starts
drinking.
Kids
who
drink
sometimes
stop
doing
things
they
normally
liked
to
do.
They
may
keep
telephone
calls
and
meetings
a
secret
and
not
want
anybody
to
touch
their
things.
They
act
moody
(喜怒无常地)
and
do
not
have
the
same
eating
and
sleeping
habits.
Parents
need
to
stay
involved
in
their
kids'
lives.
They
should
talk
to
their
children
about
their
problems
to
be
aware
of
any
changes.
Parents
can
be
the
best
protection.
Children
who
get
a
lot
of
love
can
feel
good
about
themselves.
It
helps
them
resist
(抵抗)
doing
bad
things
even
when
other
kids
are
doing
them.
Parents
can
also
help
set
a
good
example
by
not
drinking.
They
can
have
firm
rules
in
the
home
that
everyone
follows.
Give
the
children
good
ideas
on
how
to
say
“no”
to
drinking,
even
when
they
are
at
a
party.
Try
not
to
overreact
or
panic
(惊慌)
if
the
child
tries
alcohol.
How
you
handle
it
can
affect
their
attitude.
It
may
be
helpful
to
talk
to
other
parents
about
setting
up
curfews
(宵禁令)
and
rules
about
parties
or
other
events.
25．According
to
the
passage,
what
changes
may
happen
to
the
kids
who
start
drinking
A．Nothing
serious
will
happen
to
them.
B．They
keep
the
same
eating
and
sleeping
habits.
C．They
can
control
their
moods
quite
well.
D．Sometimes
they
act
secretly.
解析：选D 细节理解题。由第二段第三句
可知。
26．According
to
the
writer,
if
parents
find
their
children
try
alcohol,
they
had
better
________.
A．punish
them
at
once
B．ask
the
police
for
help
C．ask
their
children's
friends
for
help
D．set
up
curfews
and
rules
about
parties
or
other
events
with
other
parents
解析：选D 细节理解题。由文章的最后一句可知。
27．Which
is
the
main
subject
discussed
in
the
passage
A．Teen
health.
B．Teen
education.
C．Teen
drinking.
D．Parents'
worries.
解析：选C 主旨大意题。纵观全文，可以看出讲的是青少年喝酒的问题。
28．From
the
last
sentence
of
the
first
paragraph,
we
can
see
________.
A．if
you
are
not
an
adult,
you
can't
buy
liquor
according
to
the
law
B．the
children
can
buy
liquor
without
using
fake
identification
C．there
isn't
any
ban
on
children
buying
liquor
D．using
fake
identification
is
allowed
解析：选A 推理判断题。第一段最后一句说一些青少年通过伪造证件买到了酒，说明青少年是不能喝酒和买酒的。从整篇文章也能看出。
C
The
Royal
Horticulture
Society
(RHS)
finds
that
women
gardeners'
voices
speed
up
the
growth
of
tomato
plants
much
more
than
men's.
In
an
experiment,
the
research
found
that
tomato
plants
grew
up
to
two
inches
taller
if
they
were
sung
to
by
a
female
rather
than
a
male.
The
most
effective
voice
came
from
Sarah
Darwin,
whose
great great
grandfather
was
the
botanist
(植物学家),
Charles
Darwin,
one
of
the
founding
fathers
of
the
RHS.
She
read
a
passage
from
On
the
Origin
of
Species
and
beat
nine
other
“voices”.
Her
plant
grew
nearly
two
inches
taller
than
the
best
performing
male
and
half
an
inch
taller
than
her
nearest
competitor.
Colin
Crosbie,
Garden
Manager
at
the
RHS,
said,
“We
just
don't
know
why.
It
could
be
because
they
have
a
greater
range
of
pitch
(音高)
and
tone
(音色)
that
affects
the
sound
waves
that
hit
the
plant.
Sound
waves
are
an
environmental
effect
just
like
rain
or
light.”
In
the
experiment,
every
plant
was
played
a
different
voice,
and
the
environmental
conditions
for
all
the
plants
remained
the
same
throughout
the
experiment.
To
prove
the
results
of
the
experiment,
two
plants
were
also
left
to
grow
in
silence.
The
results
showed
that
women's
plants
rose
by
an
inch
more
than
men's
and
much
more
than
the
plants
left
in
complete
silence.
Miss
Darwin
said,
“I'm
not
sure
if
it's
my
sweet
tones
or
the
text
that
I
read
from
On
the
Origin
of
Species
that
made
the
plants
listen,
but
either
way,
I
think
it
is
an
honor
to
have
such
a
voice,
and
especially
fitting
for
me,
because
for
years
I
have
been
studying
wild
tomatoes
at
the
Natural
History
Museum
(NHM)
in
London.

语篇解读：园艺工的性别对植物有影响吗？英国皇家园艺学会发现，女性园艺工种植的西红柿比男性园艺工种植的西红柿生长速度更快。
29．What
is
the
purpose
of
this
passage
A．To
prove
that
women
are
better
gardeners
than
men.
B．To
explain
which
kind
of
voice
is
better
for
plant
growth.
C．To
report
the
results
of
an
experiment
on
tomato
plants.
D．To
explain
the
reason
for
the
experiment
results.
解析：选C 主旨大意题。文章报道了英国皇家园艺学会的一个新的研究结果：女性园艺工种植的西红柿比男性园艺工种植的西红柿生长速度快，但是这种现象的原因是什么在研究结果中并没有提到，排除D项，因此答案选C项。
30．How
many
tomato
plants
were
chosen
for
this
experiment
A．9.
B．10.
C．11.
D．12.
解析：选D 推理判断题。文章第四段提到“She
read
a
passage
from
On
the
Origin
of
Species
and
beat
nine
other
‘voices’．”
，由此可知供研究的西红柿是十株，在第六段中又提到“To
prove
the
results
of
the
experiment,
two
plants
were
also
left
to
grow
in
silence.”
，那么一共有10＋2＝12株用于实验。
31．What
can
we
learn
about
Sarah
Darwin
A．She
is
one
of
the
founders
of
the
RHS.
B．She
is
very
proud
of
her
sweet
voice.
C．She
discovered
why
her
voice
benefited
plants.
D．She
will
work
at
the
NHM
in
London
after
the
experiment.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“...
I
think
it
is
an
honor
to
have
such
a

and
especially
fitting
for
me,
because
for
years
I

been
studying
wild
tomatoes
at
the
Natural
History
Museum
(NHM)

London.”可知B项正确，C、D两项错误；根据第三段内容可知A项错误。
32．What
can
be
inferred
from
the
passage
A．Sarah's
nearest
competitor
was
also
a
woman.
B．Texts
from
On
the
Origin
of
Species
can
make
plants
grow
faster.
C.Men's
voices
have
a
greater
range
of
pitch
and
tone
than
women's.
D．Colin
Crosbie
predicted
that
women's
voices
were
better
for
plants
than
men's.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Her
plant
grew
nearly
two
inches
taller
than
the
best
performing
male
and
half
an
inch
taller
than
her
nearest

D
Elephants
have
four
distinct
personalities
that
help
their
hard
survive
in
the
African
bush,
scientists
have
found.
With
their
grey
skin,
mournful
eyes
and
slow
plodding
gait,
you
could
be
forgiven
for
thinking
elephants
are
uniformly
melancholy
(忧郁的)
creatures.
But
scientists
have
now
discovered
the
largest
living
land
animals
have
personalities
to
match
their
size.
In
a
new
study
of
African
elephants,
researchers
have
identified
four
distinct
characters
that
are
prevalent
with
a
herd
—
the
leaders,
the
gentle
giants,
the
playful
rogues
and
the
reliable
plodders
(辛勤工作的人)．
Each
of
the
types
has
developed
to
help
the
giant
mammals
survive
in
their
harsh
environment
and
are
almost
unique
in
the
animal
kingdom,
according
to
the
scientists.
Professor
Lee
and
her
colleague
Cynthia
Moss
studied
a
herd
of
elephants
in
the
Amboseli
National
Park
in
Kenya
known
as
the
EB
family
—
famous
for
their
matriarch
(女家长)
Echo
before
she
died
in
2009.
Using
data
collected
over
38
years
of
watching
this
group,
the
researchers
analysed
them
for
26
types
of
behaviour
and
found
four
personality
traits
tended
to
come
to
the
fore.
The
strongest
personality
to
emerge
was
that
of
the
leader
unlike
other
animals,
where
leadership
tends
to
be
won
by
the
most
dominant
and
aggressive
individual,
the
elephants
instead
respected
intelligence
and
problem
solving
in
their
leader.
The
playful
elephants
tended
to
be
younger
but
were
more
curious
and
active.
Eudora,
a
40 year old
female
in
the
herd,
seemed
to
be
the
most
playful,
consistently
showing
this
trait
throughout
her
life
while
playfulness
in
some
of
the
other
elephants
declined
with
age.
Gentle
elephants,
which
included
two
27 year old
females
Eleanor
and
Eliot,
caressed
and
rubbed
against
others
more
than
the
others.
Those
that
were
reliable
tended
to
be
those
that
were
most
consistent
at
making
good
decisions,
helped
to
care
for
infants
in
the
herd
and
were
calm
when
faced
with
threats.
Echo
and
her
youngest
daughter
Ebony
seemed
to
be
the
most
reliable.
Professor
Lee
said
that
elephants
with
these
traits
tended
to
be
the
most
socially
integrated
in
the
group
while
those
who
tended
to
be
less
reliable
and
pushy
were
more
likely
to
split
from
the
herd.
语篇解读：本文是一篇科普文，讲述了科学家所发现的非洲大象身上所具备的四种独有的特点，而这些特点对于大象种群的繁衍和生存起到了重要作用。
33．From
the
passage
we
get
to
know
that
________.
A．the
researchers
reached
their
conclusion
by
analyzing
the
date
B．the
research
centered
on
the
26
types
of
behavior
of
the
matriarch
C．the
scientists
conducted
the
research
by
comparing
elephants
with
other
animals
D．Professor
Phyllis
Lee
and
her
colleague
spent
nearly
38
years
tracking
the
herd
解析：选A 细节理解题。从第6段可知，“the
researchers
analysed
them
for
26
types
of
behaviour
and
found
...”，所以并不是以大象种群中女家长的26种行为作为中心研究对象。B错；通读全文可知，文中并没有把大象和其他的动物进行对比，所以C也错误；第6段中明确说到over
38
years,
所以D选项中的nearly错误。而A中信息在第6段明确提及，所以正确。
34．The
leader
of
an
elephant
herd
is
not
necessarily
________.
A．aggressive
B．reliable
C．intelligent
D．experienced
解析：选A 推理判断题。第7段中提到“unlike
other
animals...
instead
respected
intelligence
and
problem
solving
in
their
leader”可知，大象种群中的领袖不一定是要好斗和具有侵略性的。
35．According
to
the
new
findings
of
the
scientists
________.
A．playfulness
of
an
elephant
will
always
decline
with
age
B．those
elephants
which
are
caring
and
wise
are
most
reliable
C．each
elephant
can
be
matched
with
only
one
of
the
four
personalities
D．once
becoming
a
member
of
a
herd,
an
elephant
will
never
split
from
it
解析：选B 细节理解题。通过第8段举例，我们可以得知这个叫做Eudora的大象虽然已经40岁了，但是依然还是playful，这说明A错误；通读全文，我们很容易发现每个大象身上不仅仅只具备文中提到的一种品质和特点，所以C错误；通过倒数第二段中“those
who
tended
to
be
less
reliable
and
pushy
were
more
likely
to
split
from
the
herd”可知，并不是说一旦成为一个种群的一员，就一定不会再从中分离。B选项在倒数第2段中可以找到依据“Those
that
were
reliable
tended
to
be
those
that
were
most
consistent
at
making
good
decisions
...”。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
All
over
the
world,
animals
and
plants
are
in
trouble.
People
are
trying
to
find
ways
to
help
them.
__36__
Adopt
an
animal.
Many
zoos
and
wildlife
organizations
have
programs
that
let
kids
donate
money
to
help
specific
endangered
animals.
__37__
Don't
release
fish
or
pets
onto
the
wild.
__38__
Chances
are
that
your
pet
is
not
native
to
where
your
live.
Setting
loose,
it
might
become
an
invasive
(侵略性的)
species,
or
it
might
spread
parasites
(寄生虫).
So
keep
your
fish
in
their
tank,
or
find
them
a
new
home
but
not
the
pond.
__39__
Chemicals
used
to
kill
garden
weeds
and
bugs
(虫)
are
a
big
problem
for
animals.
Maybe
if
you
offered
to
pull
the
weeds
up
instead,
you
could
help
people
to
use
fewer
poisons.
Speak
up.
Share
what
you
know
and
speak
up
for
the
animals.
Write
letters!
Powerful
people
need
to
know
that
you
care
and
you're
keeping
an
eye
on
them
to
make
sure
they
do
their
jobs
right
and
protect
the
planet.
Make
less
trash.
Pollution
and
plastic
trash
are
bad
for
animals
and
nature.
How
can
you
help
__40__
Take
your
lunch
in
a
lunchbox
or
reusable
bag.
Bring
cloth
bags
to
the
store
and
remind
grown ups
if
they
forget.
A．It
might
seem
kind
to
set
pets
free
—
but
it
isn't.
B．But
what
can
you
do
in
daily

in

these

Then,
suddenly
he
__44__
the

was

the

asked,
“Why
are
you
busy
tending
these

every
day
which
you
can't
__46__
in
fact？”
The

man
smiled
and
answered
that
“I
can
tell
you
__47__
reasons.
First
I
was
a

when
I
was
young,

“Me

you
don't
know
me，”
responded
the
young
man
__51__.
“Yeah,
it's
__52__
that
I
don't
know
you.
But
I
know
everyone
knows
flowers
and
would
never
__53__
them
down.
I
know
the

of
my
garden
will
get
many
people
into
a
good
__54__.
In
the
meantime,
it
also
__55__
a
chance
to
me
to
have
a

with
you
here
and
to
enjoy
the
happiness
these
flowers
have
brought
us.”
The
old
man's
__56__
astonished
me.
The
blind
man
grows
flowers
and
__57__
them
as
a
link
of
minds
so
as
to
make
__58__
enjoy
the
sunshine
in
spring.
Isn't
it
one
kind
of
happiness
I
believe
every
flower
has
__59__
with
which
they
can
see
the
kindness
of
the
man's
heart.
The
blind
man
grows
flowers
in
his
heart.
Though
__60__
to
see
the
beauty
of
blossoming,
he
surely
can
hear
the
voice
of
it,
I
suppose.

参考范文：
Dear
Wang
Qiang，
I
felt
very
worried
when
I
heard
that
you
were
addicted
to
computer
games.
Although
it's
generally
believed
that
computer
games
are
interesting
and
can
inspire
our
imagination,
yet
if
you
abuse
them,
they
will
be
harmful
to
you
in
many
ways.
To
begin
with,
they
will
waste
too
much
valuable
time
which
should
be
spent
on
your
study
or
other
beneficial
things.
In
addition,
playing
games
for
a
long
time
will
do
harm
to
your
health.
Worse
still,
some
games
are
full
of
violence，which
will
be
harmful
to
your
mental
health.
Therefore,
I
strongly
hope
that
you
can
break
away
from
them.
The
earlier,
the
better.
In
order
to
live
a
meaningful
life,
you
can
read
more
good
books,
take
more
exercise
to
build
you
up
or
participate
in
some
social
activities
to
expand
your
horizons.
Looking
forward
to
your
good
news.
Yours，
Li
Ping
