Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Here is a collection of some TV series.For this list, we stick to those that have been released in recent years and we choose not to include TV hits like Game of Thrones or Sherlock.
Stranger Things
This US television series is a combination of three genres (类型):the typical college movies where the losers rise up, the science fiction films about crazy scientists who reached their top in the 1980s and the horror movies written in the style of Stephen King.This show, starring Winona Ryder and a group of amazing kids, has managed to combine these genres so well that it has already acquired a vast army of fans worldwide.
The Pillars of the Earth
It is set in the twelfth century, a time which is considered one of the darkest and most romantic (浪漫的) periods in the history of England. Based on the best-selling novel written by Ken Follett, this TV show starring the brilliant Eddie Redmayne is widely recognized as one of the best historical TV dramas of recent years.
Mahabharata
This Indian Hindi-language series is liked by many people for being regarded as the simplest and the most fun way to learn about the age-old wisdom of the Indian people.It tells us about the kings and heroes who love, fight and make wise decisions.This drama is about the endless struggle between good and evil.
The Crown
This story about the transformation of the young Princess Elizabeth into the queen shows everything about the British monarchy (君主制).It includes many storylines, each of which could be made into a separate TV show.The series focuses on the age-old themes of family, marriage and politics, and this is probably what makes The Crown win popularity.

Dessi Sieburth's love of birds started about six years ago.Now, he has his own group called Protecting Our Birds.Recently, Dessi, 14 years old, chatted with TFK about his work and goals for the future.
TFK:
What is Protecting Our Birds?
DESSI:
Birds are citizens of the world, so they need protection.I basically try to do conservation work to help birds get protected throughout the world.I recently wrote an article about a bird called the bar-tailed godwit (斑尾鹬).I interviewed a biologist named Nils Warnock, who had studied the bar-tailed godwit.He expressed the concern about the threat that the bar-tailed godwit is facing.I wrote an article about his answers to the questions, which is published on the American Birding Association Website.
TFK:
What impelled you to start this project?
DESSI:
When I was eight years old, our class had to do a woodworking project, so I chose a bird feeder (喂食盒).I didn't like birds at the time.I made the feeder, filled it up with seed, put it in my backyard and then the birds started coming.I got really interested in birds as more came.I later got involved in my local Audubon Society, which is devoted to conserving and restoring natural ecosystems.It really got me into birds and I realized bird populations were declining, and many are becoming endangered quite rapidly.I wanted to help them, so I started the project.
TFK:
What are some future projects you plan to work on?
DESSI:
I live in L.A., where there are a lot of parrots.Most of the parrots' native range is in Mexico, but they're really declining there because of habitat loss.I want to study the parrots and help them in their native range in Mexico, so they can start increasing again.
TFK:
How can people learn more about Protecting Our Birds and the work you're doing?
DESSI:
I have a website.It's protectingourbirds. my-free.website.There people can learn about what I do and how to help birds.

Some pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic, according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study, published in the journal Biology Letters, is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal, influencing judgment.
Asher, a researcher at the University of Newcastle's Institute of Neuroscience, and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft, deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks, the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.
“To do this, we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets — pigs love them — and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans, which pigs find bitter-tasting,” a researcher said.
Over a number of training trials, pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary, they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.
The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations, to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside, showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others, however, behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans, displaying pessimism.
The findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people, there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.
语篇解读:本文是一篇研究报告,讲述情绪和性格在动物中的相互作用。
9.What was the study trying to figure out?
A.How to make pigs happier.
B.The similarities between humans and pigs.
C.How living environment affected pigs' mood.
D.How pigs' mood and personality affected their judgment.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“The study, published in the journal ... influencing judgment.”可知,选项D正确。
10.What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Simple. B.More comfortable.
C.Unpractical. D.Less free.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“more space and plenty of soft, deep straw”可知,另一个环境很舒适。所以选项B正确。
11.Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?
A.The bowl with chocolate sweets.
B.The bowl containing coffee beans.
C.The bowl full of both sweets and beans.
D.The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations, to see how the pigs would react.”以及该段后两句的对比描述可知,D选项与第五段内容一致。所以选项D正确。
12.What do the findings of the new research imply?
A.People should treat pigs equally.
B.People's health relies on meat quality.
C.People should meet pigs' various needs.
D.People's attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段尤其是最后一句可推知,要想获得高质量和口感好的猪肉,人们应当满足猪的多种需要。所以选项C正确。
D
According to a recent study published in Journal of Consumer Research, many people believe that healthy food must be more expensive than unhealthy food. In fact, the study's researchers found that a high price tag will even convince consumers that a certain food is healthful.
According to Rebecca Reczek, co-author of the study, the purpose of the study was to examine a popular belief. Sometimes the belief can be true: Organic produce and wild-caught seafood typically cost more money. But other times, the nutritional value of food ranks all the same.
In one experiment, Reczek's team gave a group of participants a new food product called “granola bites”. Some participants were told the product was very healthy. Other participants were told the bites had little nutritional value. Participants who were told the granola bites were good for them rated the snack as more expensive than the participants who thought the bites were unhealthy.
In another experiment, participants were given a health food bar labeled as “the healthiest protein bar on the planet”. Some participants were told the bar cost just D|S0.99, others were told the bar was D|S4. And here's what happened: The people who were given the “cheaper” bar needed to read a lot more reviews about the product when it was priced at a lower price point in order to trust that it was healthy.
The idea that we all believe healthy food needs to be more expensive works against us. All food companies need to do is push up the price to convince us.
But Reczek said, “When we shop, we don't have to be led astray. We can compare nutrition labels and we can do research before we go to the grocery store. We can use facts rather than our intuition (直觉)”.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,人们认为越贵的食物营养价值就越高,这种想法很容易被商家利用。
13.Why did some participants regard the granola bites as more expensive?
A.Because they knew they had high nutritional value.
B.Because they had been told about the price of them.
C.Because they knew they were a new food product.
D.Because they considered them organic food.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Participants who were told the granola bites were good for them rated the snack as more expensive than the participants who thought the bites were unhealthy.”可知,他们认为这种食物价格更高是因为他们被告知这种食物对他们健康有益,即营养价值高。
14.How did some participants react when hearing the bar cost D|S0.99?
A.They considered it healthy.
B.They were doubtful about it.
C.They really wanted to buy it.
D.They were very happy about it.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The people who were given the ‘cheaper’ bar needed to read a lot more reviews about the product when it was priced at a lower price point in order to trust that it was healthy.”可知,他们对低的价格持怀疑态度。
15.According to Reczek, what should we do when we go shopping?
A.Buy food that is more expensive.
B.Consult other people for advice.
C.Pay attention to nutrition labels.
D.Avoid buying unknown food.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We can compare nutrition labels and we can do research before we go to the grocery store.”可知选C项。

Dear Tom,
I’m so surprised to hear that you have decided to drop out of school. I don’t think it is wise to do so. Most large companies are in need of people with knowledge, so how can you find your dream job if you choose to drop out of school so early? My elder brother once had the same idea as you, but he finally chose to study first, and now he has gained his dream job. I personally think it would be better for you to finish your studies first. Being knowledgeable and skillful helps you a lot when seeking a job. I hope you will take my advice into account.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
