Grandparents are respected in many human societies. But telling stories about old times and overfeeding grandchildren seem like human qualities. Are these classic grandparent behaviors really limited to humans?
Do any animals know their grandparents the way people do?
For most species on Earth,the answer is certainly “No”. "Usually,there aren't grandparents around anymore when an animal is born,"said Mirkka Lahdenpera,a biologist at the University of Turku in Finland. "Even if an animal's life span does overlap(重叠)with its grandparents',most species spread out to avoid competing for resources,so the chance of running into a grandparent is slim. "
But there are a few clear exceptions,primarily among mammals(哺乳动物)that live in close social groups. In troops of langur monkeys in India,older females lived together with their daughters and grandchildren. The grandmother langurs defend the group's babies against attacks and even give their own grandchildren special treatment.
Many whale species,too,travel in family groups that include both grandmothers and grandchildren.
Elephant herds are also famously matriarchal. They are led by a grandmother,who can live to around 80 years old,and are generally made up of her daughters and their young. The females in a herd form close bonds and work together to raise their young.
Lahdenper found that the babies of young mothers were eight times more likely to survive if their grandmothers lived near them than if they didn't. When the young mothers were older and more experienced at raising babies,this beneficial grandmother effect disappeared even if the actual grandmothers were still around.
Indeed,most evidence for the benefits of grand parenting comes from mammals. But in 2010,researchers found that in troops of insects called gall-forming aphids,older females defend their relatives after they've stopped reproducing(繁殖).
And what about grandfathers?Studies of humans in recent decades have shown that a living grandfather can improve a person's mental health and other indicators of well-being. But there's no evidence of that in the animal kingdom. Male animals rarely socialize with their own children,let alone any grandchildren.
4. From what Mirkka Lahdenpera said, we can learn that___________.
A. an animal is not very likely to meet a grandparent
B. an animal is taken away from its grandparents at birth
C. animals' grandparents move away to avoid responsibility
D. animals' grandparents often fail in competition for resources
5. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 indicates that._________.
A. elephants have a high level of intelligence
B. elephants enjoy an equal and fair social system
C. elephants are the largest land animals with a long life
D. elephants live in social groups with females in charge
6. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Insects still able to reproduce will defend their relatives.
B. Animals' beneficial grandmother effect will exist forever.
C. Animals can be mentally healthier with their grandfathers.
D. Male animals seldom spend time with their grandchildren.
7. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Do any animals know their grandparents?
B. Do any animals respect their grandparents?
C. How do animals live with their grandparents?
D. How do animals socialize with their grandparents?

Recognized as "the goddess scientist",Ning Yan(or Nieng Yan),42,is a leading biology researcher at Princeton University in the US. On April 30,she was included among 100new members and 25 foreign associates into The National Academy of Sciences,a famous scientific institution that aims to recognize outstanding research in the US.
Yan is a rising star in the science world and her resume(履历)is impressive. After graduating from Tsinghua University and Princeton,she was invited to set up her own laboratory at Tsinghua in 2007. At age 30,she became one of China's youngest-ever female professors.
It was a long road to get where she is now. She told People magazine that she always believes that scientists need to have a pure mind and determination.
Yan likes to work at night,because she can focus when the outside is quiet. She also works at least 14 hours a day,but she's energetic,because research is the most "comfortable” job for her,according to an interview with People magazine.
This devotion to her work probably helped Yan in her research to identify the structures of proteins in cells' plasma membranes,which puzzled scientists for half a century. Her achievements got her listed among the journal Nature's Science Stars of China in 2016.
Yan also enjoys TV dramas and classic novels. Surprisingly,the novel Journey to the West inspired her to become a structural biologist. In the book,the Monkey King turns into other animals. She wondered what it would be like to change herself. Luckily. Yan now lives in that world every day,exploring how proteins work at the level of atoms. “It was almost destined(命中注定的)that I would become a structural biologist,"she said in an interview with Nature.
As she realizes her own dreams,Yan tries to encourage more women to follow careers(职业)in science. In her eyes,there is no difference between men and women in the scientific fields.
“Women can work as excellently as men and live the way they choose to,"she said in a public interview.
8. What made Ning Yan become a member of the National Academy of Sciences?
A. Her social background. B. Her impressive wisdom.
C. Her first-class education. D. Her outstanding research.
9. Which of the following played a role in Yan becoming a structural biologist?
A. People magazine.
B. Journey to the West.
C. The journal Nature.
D. Science Stars of China.
10. Ning Yan would probably agree that_________
A. scientists can win success by working at night
B. women can match men in scientific achievements
C. more women should be allowed to take up science
D. scientists should enjoy TV dramas and classic novels

B. Many hands make light work.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.
D
San Francisco has decided that its city government workers can't use computer programs that recognize faces. It is the first US city to take such a strong step to keep this technology under control.
When a computer system identifies a person from their face in a picture,it's called “facial recognition". Many police departments use facial recognition. It can be helpful when police just have a picture of a suspect(嫌疑犯). but no other information. Normally,even with facial recognition,police must have other proof showing that a person is guilty.
But many people say facial recognition programs aren't good enough yet. The programs can usually recognize white men. But they're not so good at identifying women and people with darker skin. They worry that "false matches"-when the computer thinks it has identified a person,but it's wrong-will make innocent people look like criminals.
For companies like Amazon and Microsoft,facial recognition is a big business. Amazon has worked hard to sell their facial recognition program to police departments around the US. Microsoft sells tools that allow prisons to watch people inside.
To work well,facial recognition programs must have a great number of pictures of people. But most people whose pictures are in the systems never gave permission(许可)for their pictures to be used.
Many people worry that using computers to identify or track people will decrease freedom. Now,in many places,facial recognition is used to keep people under control and much of public life is watched on security cameras. Similarly,many cities in America and Europe are also almost completely covered by security cameras. Police officers now often wear cameras on their bodies,recording all the time. It's usually not clear when governments are using facial recognition and how they are using it.
Facial recognition is already being used at airports throughout Europe and in the US. The Department of Homeland Security expects to have pictures of 97%of the people flying out of the country in the next four years.
As these powerful computer programs become more common, San Francisco's move to control facial recognition is an unusual and strong move to limit the way governments use computers to watch and control people.
12. Why do people worry about facial recognition programs?
A. They cannot multiply people's responsibility.
B. They cannot help police identify good people.
C. They will mistake innocent people for bad people.
D. They will identify black people instead of white people.
13. How can facial recognition programs fun_ction effectively?
A. Companies should work with each other.
B. People should have more pictures taken.
C. They should include as many pictures as possible.
D. Police departments and prisons should be under control.
14. What makes people feel their freedom is on the decrease?
A. There are police everywhere.
B. A lot of security cameras are used.
C. More people are forced to stay at home.
D. Governments focus more on facial recognition.
15. What's San Francisco's attitude towards government workers using facial recognition?
A. Disapproving. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic.

【点睛】细节理解题解题方法
细节理解题属直接解答性问题,是阅读理解题中最简单的一种,多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大,应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是:对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解,一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案,而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。
做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下:
1.略读材料,大概了解原文,掌握中心或主旨。经常有新技术对将来人们工作和生活不良影响的预测,但事实证明结果并不是那样,我们有必要否定预测,以减少人们的恐惧。
2.按文章的体裁,作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。
3.将精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读,全文扫视,找到细节出处,待找到含细节句子时,放慢速度,仔细核对比较内容,直至找到答案。
如第一小题,根据第一段中On April 30, she was included among 100new members and 25 foreign associates into The National Academy of Sciences, a famous scientific institution that aims to recognize outstanding research in the US.(4月30日,她成为美国国家科学院的100名新成员和25名外国同事之一。美国国家科学院是一家旨在表彰美国杰出研究成果的著名科学机构。)可知是Ning Yan杰出的研究成果让她成为了美国国家科学院的一员。故选D。

比较上下文的关键词来锁定答案
阅读各个空的前后句,标记关键词,阅读五个空白的前后句,并将前后句中的解题线索,即关键词标记下来。关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组(如带有形容词的名词词组),专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等;阅读各个选项,尤其是选项的首句,标记关键词;比较并匹配上述两类关键词,确定答案;将确定的答案代入原文,看读起来是否通顺。
3、出题位置在段尾
这个时候,空白前的一句或两句是重点语句,大家要重点阅读以锁定关键词。
1) 要注意在选项中查找表示结果的、结论、总结等的关键词,如:therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, in a word等,另外大家也要知道,选项中也可以发现前文的同义词语。
2)如果与前文是转折或对比关系。大家就要注意在选项中寻找表示转折对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立对比关系。
3)如果所选答案是引出下一段的内容
在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。

这是一篇说明文。主要说明了电影中所表达出的价值观对社会可能产生的一些好的或不好的影响。
【41题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:也许电影会比其他媒体有更大的影响。根据下文than other media可知应填形容词比较级。故填greater。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:与其他媒体相比, 这部电影当然有一些明显的优势。advantage为可数名词由some修饰故填复数形式advantages。
【43题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:它结合了音频和视频, 因此吸引了眼睛和耳朵。本句主语为it, 且与combines构成并列谓语, 故用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式appeals。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:同时, 观众也可以在事件的过程中, 体验到各种角色的感受。根据下文characters为名词可知应填形容词修饰, 故填various。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:例如, 像《我的名字叫可汗》这样的电影不仅仅是家庭剧。根据句意可知表示“像……;比如”应填like。
【46题详解】

【49题详解】
考查动词时态。句意同上。根据上文in recent years可知应用现在完成时, 主语为单数, 故填has attracted。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:看完有这类场景的电影后, 青少年很可能会被鼓励把它当作一件很酷的事情来做。短语be likely to do sth.“有可能做某事”, 且encourage与teenagers构成被动关系, 故填to be encouraged。
【点睛】定语从句中的关系词选择,可考虑以下几点:
1、看清楚先行词的意义,就是理清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点、原因。指物时不能用who或whom,指人时通常不用which等等。
2、看清楚关系词的句法功能,就是理清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等等。作定语通常用whose,有时也用which。作状语要用when, where, why。
3、看清楚定语从句的种类,就是理清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句。that、why通常不引导非限制性定语从句。
4、看清楚文体,就是理清是正式文体,还是非正式文体。是书面语体还是口语体。
如第七小题,本句为定语从句修饰先行词committee, 且先行词在从句中做主语, 指物, 故填which/that。

54. When it comes to advertisements,we must all use our intelligence and not be a slave to them!
55. Hannah must have told my classmates about my grade after promising not to.
【解析】
考查句子翻译。
【51题详解】
考查倒装句。表示前者的情况同样适用于后者, 且时态上与前一句保持一致, 主语不同时, 应使用“so+be动词/情态动词/助动词+主语”的结构。短语bury alive“活埋”。根据句意应用一般过去时, 故译为Many people were buried alive, and so was the city.。
【52题详解】
考查宾语从句。“倍数 + what 从句”为固定句式, 意为“比……”, 且主语应用现在完成时, 从句中根据in 1800应用一般过去时。故译为The world's population has grown by six times what it was in 1800.。
【53题详解】
考查固定结构。固定结构“be of+抽象名词”相当于抽象名词对应的形容词, 故短语be of practical use“实际的;实用的”。本句为while引导的让步状语从句, 表示“虽然”。根据句意用一般过去时。故译为:While the students found the soldier's idea interesting, the system was too difficult to be of practical use.
【54题详解】
考查固定短语。短语when it comes to…“当提到;谈及”, 且根据句意应用一般现在时。故译为:When it comes to advertisements, we must all use our intelligence and not be a slave to them!
【55题详解】
考查固定结构。短语must have done“必定做了……” 表示对过动作肯定的推测, 故译为:Hannah must have told my classmates about my grade after promising not to.

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者的弟弟Julian擅长打篮球以及打球经历。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。句意:当他还是个孩子的时候, 他就致力于练习。短语be committed to doing sth.“致力于做某事”, 故practise改为practising。
2.考查固定短语。句意:有时他甚至邀请我和他一起玩, 他经常打败我。短语play with/against“同……比赛”, 故for改为against/with。
3.考查动词时态。句意同上。本句是由and连接词的并列句与上文invited构成并列谓语, 故应用一般过去时。故defeats改为defeated。
4.考查定语从句连接词。句意:中学毕业后, 他被选为校队队长, 这让他非常自豪。本句为两个单独的句子, 中间不能用逗号连接。故可将really made him very proud改为非限定性定语从句修饰上文整个句子, 故it改为which。或在it前添加and使之构成并列句。
5.考查动词语态。句意:他们甚至赢得了几次冠军。本句主语they与win之间为主动关系, 故去掉were。
6.考查代词。句意:他的队友都认为他是一个友好而有技巧的球员。此处是队友认为“他”是一个好球员, 因此应用人称代词宾格形式。故himself改为him。
7.考查形容词。句意同上。根据上文be a friendly and可知应用形容词作表语, 故skillfully改为skillful。
8.考查冠词。句意:现在他在德国一所著名大学学习工商管理。university为可数名词, 此处表示泛指“一所大学”用不定冠词,famous为辅音音素开头的单词故用不定冠词a,故famous前加a。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意:回顾过去, 他仍然认为打篮球是他一生中最喜欢的爱好之一。本句中look做非谓语动词与逻辑主语he构成主谓关系, 故Look改为Looking。
10.考查名词的数。句意同上。hobby为可数名词, 且one of后跟名词复数形式表示“……之一”, 故hobby改为hobbies。
