第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。
A
Two baby elephants were two years old and they had escaped from the herd for a fun ride as they were always under discipline (训导) from the elder ones. Both of them were caught after several hours of chasing and tied in different places as they were caught in different places. Both were shocked and sad and were refusing to touch any food including sugar cane for the entire day and night.
I was feeling sorry for the young fellows as they had not touched their food for the whole day. I decided to shift them at the earliest convenience to the jungle where they could possibly return to the normal. I made my staff get ready by 3 am to start loading them into a lorry for transporting them.
In the morning we brought Arjun the domestic elephant there and his master asked him to drag the two young fellows nearer to the lorry for boarding, but they refused to get dragged as they were not sure why they had been tied and dragged with so many people around them. I saw their eyes were filled with sadness.
Our staff tried to push them using various means but they resisted hard. But Arjun was sympathetic towards the two young fellows and he went near them and gently touched them with his trunk and licked (舔) their genital parts and assured them of being calm. Magically we saw how the young fellows who were in sad found hope.
Soon both of them showed affection for each other through licking and touching each other through their trunks and tails. Then they were simply guided by Arjun towards the lorry like obedient students. That is how Arjun exhibited very strong passionate love and obeyed his master's order.
21．Why did the two young elephants refuse to eat any food offered?
A．Because they were dissatisfied with the food.
B．Because they were fed well and not hungry at all.
C．Because they were very physically tired after much running.
D．Because they were unable to fit in with the environment mentally.
22．What contributed to the young elephants' boarding?
A．The driving force from the staff.
B．Arjun's patient comfort and love.
C．Their appetite for delicious food.
D．Their desire for unknown nature.
23．Which one can best describe the two young elephants' change?
A．Wild — Sad — Stubborn — Hopeful.
B．Excited — Angry — Happy — Moved.
C．Upset — Nervous — Relaxed — Pleased.
D．Shocked — Stressed — Hungry — Calm.
B
The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to the African ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant?eater, it largely shapes the forest?and?savanna (稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting_the_terms of existence of millions of other animals that live in its habitat.
It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a changer of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and undergrowth, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces both in deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant璭aters.
Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed (有蹄的) plant?eaters to move around and for small plant?eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of the forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
24．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Disappearance of African elephants.
B．Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.
C．The effect of African elephants on the ecosystem.
D．The eating habit of African elephants.
25．What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A．Fixing the time.
B．Worsening the state.
C．Improving the quality.
D．Deciding the conditions.
26．What can we know about the open spaces in the passage?
A．They result from the destruction of rain forests.
B．They are covered by few species of plants.
C．They are home to many endangered animals.
D．They are attractive to plant?eating animals of different kinds.
27．The passage is developed mainly by ________.
A．showing the effect and then explaining the causes
B．pointing out similarities and differences
C．describing the changes in space order
D．giving examples to explain the reasons
C
Scientists investigated why the Ebola virus is so deadly when it spreads from animals to humans and then by human?to?human contact. The research team looked at the Zaire Ebola virus in an animal system to understand how it gained strength. This virus is responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. They found that initially (最初) the animal systems were not affected by the virus, but succeeding transmission (传播) into other animals caused the virus to “hot up” and become more severe.
The team analyzed the viruses at different stages and were able to identify several changes in its genetic material that were associated with increased disease.
Professor Julian Hiscox, who led the study from Liverpool University's Institute of Infection and Global Health, explained, 揟he work tells us that the evolutionary goal of the Ebola virus is to become more fatal.
揥e were able to show through genetic analysis which parts of the virus are involved in this process. The information we have gathered will allow us to monitor such changes in an outbreak as well as develop future treatment strategies.
Professor Roger Hewson, leading the study from Public Health England, Porton Down, said, 揟he Ebola virus is such a destructive infection to the people affected by the disease and the economy of West Africa.
揙ur understanding of the Ebola virus biology is way behind that of other viruses and our cooperation shows how we can get our specialists' skills together to close this knowledge gap.
Professor Miles Carroll, a co璦uthor of the work, said, “This study has allowed the team to be at the forefront of developing methodologies to analyze patient samples recently taken by the European Mobile Laboratory from West Africa to understand disease evolution during the current outbreak.”
28．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
A．How severe the Ebola virus is.
B．How the Ebola virus spreads.
C．How the Ebola virus gradually becomes deadly.
D．What contributions scientists have made on the Ebola virus.
29．Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?
A．In the first stage, the virus hurts its victims much.
B．As the virus spreads, it'll change and become more and more deadly.
C．The research on the Ebola virus is more advanced than that on other viruses.
D．The scientists have a negative attitude to the research on the Ebola virus.
30．The underlined word “fatal” has the closest meaning to ________.
A．optimistic B．deadly
C．common D．fantastic
31．Where can we probably read this passage?
A．In a science report. B．In a storybook.
C．In an advertisement. D．In a textbook.
D
Scientists have long struggled with how to measure the effects of climate change on wildlife. This is especially true for birds flying in and out of coastal areas bordering the Arctic Ocean.
In the past, researchers depended mainly on information gathered by satellite to follow the movement of birds and animals. But this method can be costly and result in huge amounts of information, which can be difficult to process.
Now scientists are turning to another kind of technology to help them follow birds and other wildlife. Songbirds are especially difficult to study in the wild. They can fly across thousands of kilometers and their bodies are too small for electronic tracking equipment. A new report tells about a project in which researchers recorded songbirds and then put the sounds into a computer program to be studied.
Birds are known to make more singing noises after arriving in areas where they plan to mate. Spring is short in extreme northern areas of the American state of Alaska. There, the birds must mate and have their young before winter. A algorithm (计算程序) is designed to use the recordings to predict when the birds arrive in large groups to begin mating.
While some results were produced completely by machine, human supervision (监督) helped to improve the process. In both cases, the researchers reported the computer was correct in predicting when the birds arrived to their breeding grounds.
In another study, researchers reported how machine learning methods can be used to identify, count and describe animals in the wild. Researchers created a machine learning system that they say uses artificial intelligence or AI to identify, count, and describe the behavior of 48 animal species. They said their method can correctly identify animals at a rate of 94 percent.
The scientists said results showed AI can be used as an effective way to gather 揳 wealth of information on huge numbers of animals in the wild. They say the new method will save time and costs, and can even operate in real?time.
32．Why are songbirds especially difficult to study in the wild?
A．Because they fly too fast.
B．Because of the climate change.
C．Because there are too much information.
D．Because of the long flying distance and their small bodies.
33．To track songbirds, what does the first study focus on?
A．Their destination. B．Their sounds.
C．Their young babies. D．Their movement.
34．What are the advantage of using the machine learning system to follow birds and other wildlife?
A．It can provide too much information to deal with.
B．It can save time and money.
C．It doesn't need humans to attend in the process.
D．It can identify animals in the wild at a rate of 100 percent.
35．What's the main idea of the passage?
A．New technology used to track wildlife.
B．How to protect animals in the wild.
C．How to track birds by satellite.
D．New progress on artificial intelligence.

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。
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. The cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed the best miracle I have ever seen in my life.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six?year?old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn't walking with his usual steps. He was obviously walking with great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house. I went back to make sandwiches, thinking that whatever he had been doing was completed. Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill (溅出) the water he held in them. I stepped close as he went into the woods. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He might have a much greater purpose, I thought. As I came closer, I saw the most amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them, at the sight of which I almost screamed for him to get away. A huge buck (雄鹿) was dangerously close. But the buck neither threatened him nor even moved as Billy knelt down. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with great effort to lap (舔) up the water cupped in my boy's hands.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to the tap. ____________________________________________________

You may like the fat, happy man who brings presents to kids on Christmas Eve. But do you know why he's called Santa Claus and why he is dressed in red? The history of Santa Claus begins in the 4th century with a man called Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas lived in Myra, which is now called Turkey. He came from a rich family，but he felt sorry for poor people and decided to give them all his money. Nicholas，though, was shy and didn't want people to know he gave them money. So he climbed onto the roofs of houses on Christmas Eve and dropped bags of money down their chimneys. He wore red clothes when he did this. Nicholas died in 340 AD.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。两只脱离群体的小象被工作人员捉住后，拒绝饮食，工作人员准备把它们放至丛林中，但工作人员和一只驯养的象Arjun无论如何也不能把它们拖上车，这时这只聪明的象Arjun耐心地用爱来感化它们，成功地说服了这两只小象上车。
21．答案与解析：D'细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Both were shocked and sad and were refusing to touch any food including sugar cane for the entire day and night.”可知，这两只小象拒绝饮食是因为它们被捉之后心里不开心，也就是心理上不能适应这里的环境，故选D。
22．答案与解析：B'推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“But Arjun was sympathetic... assured them of being calm.”以及最后一段中的“Soon both of them showed affection for each other... obedient students.”可推断出，是Arjun耐心的安慰和爱促使这两只小象乖乖地上车。
23．答案与解析：A'推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Two baby elephants were two years old... from the elder ones.”可知，一开始这两只小象桀骜不驯，选择脱离群体来摆脱大象们的束缚；再根据第一段中的“Both were shocked... day and night.”以及第三段中的“I saw their eyes were filled with sadness.”可知，这两只小象被工作人员捉住后不开心；根据倒数第二段中的“Our staff tried to... they resisted hard.”可知，这两只小象十分倔强，不愿上车；再根据倒数第二段中的“Magically we saw... found hope.”以及最后一段中的“Then they were... like obedient students.”可知，它们被Arjun的爱感化后，渐渐对未来怀有希望，最终上了车。故答案为A。

参考范文：
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to the tap. Billy turned it on and began to cup both hands. He knelt down，letting the drip slowly fill up his “cup”. And now I knew what was going on. Obviously, he was afraid of being scolded for wasting water, so he avoided asking me for help. When he stood up and turned back, I walked toward him. His eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, I'm not wasting.”
This time I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him tend to the baby deer alone while I just helped fetch the water. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, himself, was weeping with pride. I couldn't believe it was raining!

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。
A
Two baby elephants were two years old and they had escaped from the herd for a fun ride as they were always under discipline (训导) from the elder ones. Both of them were caught after several hours of chasing and tied in different places as they were caught in different places. Both were shocked and sad and were refusing to touch any food including sugar cane for the entire day and night.
I was feeling sorry for the young fellows as they had not touched their food for the whole day. I decided to shift them at the earliest convenience to the jungle where they could possibly return to the normal. I made my staff get ready by 3 am to start loading them into a lorry for transporting them.
In the morning we brought Arjun the domestic elephant there and his master asked him to drag the two young fellows nearer to the lorry for boarding, but they refused to get dragged as they were not sure why they had been tied and dragged with so many people around them. I saw their eyes were filled with sadness.
Our staff tried to push them using various means but they resisted hard. But Arjun was sympathetic towards the two young fellows and he went near them and gently touched them with his trunk and licked (舔) their genital parts and assured them of being calm. Magically we saw how the young fellows who were in sad found hope.
Soon both of them showed affection for each other through licking and touching each other through their trunks and tails. Then they were simply guided by Arjun towards the lorry like obedient students. That is how Arjun exhibited very strong passionate love and obeyed his master's order.
21．Why did the two young elephants refuse to eat any food offered?
A．Because they were dissatisfied with the food.
B．Because they were fed well and not hungry at all.
C．Because they were very physically tired after much running.
D．Because they were unable to fit in with the environment mentally.
22．What contributed to the young elephants' boarding?
A．The driving force from the staff.
B．Arjun's patient comfort and love.
C．Their appetite for delicious food.
D．Their desire for unknown nature.
23．Which one can best describe the two young elephants' change?
A．Wild — Sad — Stubborn — Hopeful.
B．Excited — Angry — Happy — Moved.
C．Upset — Nervous — Relaxed — Pleased.
D．Shocked — Stressed — Hungry — Calm.
B
The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to the African ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant?eater, it largely shapes the forest?and?savanna (稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting_the_terms of existence of millions of other animals that live in its habitat.
It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a changer of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and undergrowth, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces both in deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant璭aters.
Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed (有蹄的) plant?eaters to move around and for small plant?eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of the forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
24．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Disappearance of African elephants.
B．Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.
C．The effect of African elephants on the ecosystem.
D．The eating habit of African elephants.
25．What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A．Fixing the time.
B．Worsening the state.
C．Improving the quality.
D．Deciding the conditions.
26．What can we know about the open spaces in the passage?
A．They result from the destruction of rain forests.
B．They are covered by few species of plants.
C．They are home to many endangered animals.
D．They are attractive to plant?eating animals of different kinds.
27．The passage is developed mainly by ________.
A．showing the effect and then explaining the causes
B．pointing out similarities and differences
C．describing the changes in space order
D．giving examples to explain the reasons
C
Scientists investigated why the Ebola virus is so deadly when it spreads from animals to humans and then by human?to?human contact. The research team looked at the Zaire Ebola virus in an animal system to understand how it gained strength. This virus is responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. They found that initially (最初) the animal systems were not affected by the virus, but succeeding transmission (传播) into other animals caused the virus to “hot up” and become more severe.
The team analyzed the viruses at different stages and were able to identify several changes in its genetic material that were associated with increased disease.
Professor Julian Hiscox, who led the study from Liverpool University's Institute of Infection and Global Health, explained, 揟he work tells us that the evolutionary goal of the Ebola virus is to become more fatal.
揥e were able to show through genetic analysis which parts of the virus are involved in this process. The information we have gathered will allow us to monitor such changes in an outbreak as well as develop future treatment strategies.
Professor Roger Hewson, leading the study from Public Health England, Porton Down, said, 揟he Ebola virus is such a destructive infection to the people affected by the disease and the economy of West Africa.
揙ur understanding of the Ebola virus biology is way behind that of other viruses and our cooperation shows how we can get our specialists' skills together to close this knowledge gap.
Professor Miles Carroll, a co璦uthor of the work, said, “This study has allowed the team to be at the forefront of developing methodologies to analyze patient samples recently taken by the European Mobile Laboratory from West Africa to understand disease evolution during the current outbreak.”
28．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
A．How severe the Ebola virus is.
B．How the Ebola virus spreads.
C．How the Ebola virus gradually becomes deadly.
D．What contributions scientists have made on the Ebola virus.
29．Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?
A．In the first stage, the virus hurts its victims much.
B．As the virus spreads, it'll change and become more and more deadly.
C．The research on the Ebola virus is more advanced than that on other viruses.
D．The scientists have a negative attitude to the research on the Ebola virus.
30．The underlined word “fatal” has the closest meaning to ________.
A．optimistic B．deadly
C．common D．fantastic
31．Where can we probably read this passage?
A．In a science report. B．In a storybook.
C．In an advertisement. D．In a textbook.
D
Scientists have long struggled with how to measure the effects of climate change on wildlife. This is especially true for birds flying in and out of coastal areas bordering the Arctic Ocean.
In the past, researchers depended mainly on information gathered by satellite to follow the movement of birds and animals. But this method can be costly and result in huge amounts of information, which can be difficult to process.
Now scientists are turning to another kind of technology to help them follow birds and other wildlife. Songbirds are especially difficult to study in the wild. They can fly across thousands of kilometers and their bodies are too small for electronic tracking equipment. A new report tells about a project in which researchers recorded songbirds and then put the sounds into a computer program to be studied.
Birds are known to make more singing noises after arriving in areas where they plan to mate. Spring is short in extreme northern areas of the American state of Alaska. There, the birds must mate and have their young before winter. A algorithm (计算程序) is designed to use the recordings to predict when the birds arrive in large groups to begin mating.
While some results were produced completely by machine, human supervision (监督) helped to improve the process. In both cases, the researchers reported the computer was correct in predicting when the birds arrived to their breeding grounds.
In another study, researchers reported how machine learning methods can be used to identify, count and describe animals in the wild. Researchers created a machine learning system that they say uses artificial intelligence or AI to identify, count, and describe the behavior of 48 animal species. They said their method can correctly identify animals at a rate of 94 percent.
The scientists said results showed AI can be used as an effective way to gather 揳 wealth of information on huge numbers of animals in the wild. They say the new method will save time and costs, and can even operate in real?time.
32．Why are songbirds especially difficult to study in the wild?
A．Because they fly too fast.
B．Because of the climate change.
C．Because there are too much information.
D．Because of the long flying distance and their small bodies.
33．To track songbirds, what does the first study focus on?
A．Their destination. B．Their sounds.
C．Their young babies. D．Their movement.
34．What are the advantage of using the machine learning system to follow birds and other wildlife?
A．It can provide too much information to deal with.
B．It can save time and money.
C．It doesn't need humans to attend in the process.
D．It can identify animals in the wild at a rate of 100 percent.
35．What's the main idea of the passage?
A．New technology used to track wildlife.
B．How to protect animals in the wild.
C．How to track birds by satellite.
D．New progress on artificial intelligence.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
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。
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. The cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed the best miracle I have ever seen in my life.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six?year?old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn't walking with his usual steps. He was obviously walking with great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house. I went back to make sandwiches, thinking that whatever he had been doing was completed. Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill (溅出) the water he held in them. I stepped close as he went into the woods. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He might have a much greater purpose, I thought. As I came closer, I saw the most amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them, at the sight of which I almost screamed for him to get away. A huge buck (雄鹿) was dangerously close. But the buck neither threatened him nor even moved as Billy knelt down. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with great effort to lap (舔) up the water cupped in my boy's hands.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to the tap. ____________________________________________________

You may like the fat, happy man who brings presents to kids on Christmas Eve. But do you know why he's called Santa Claus and why he is dressed in red? The history of Santa Claus begins in the 4th century with a man called Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas lived in Myra, which is now called Turkey. He came from a rich family，but he felt sorry for poor people and decided to give them all his money. Nicholas，though, was shy and didn't want people to know he gave them money. So he climbed onto the roofs of houses on Christmas Eve and dropped bags of money down their chimneys. He wore red clothes when he did this. Nicholas died in 340 AD.

A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。两只脱离群体的小象被工作人员捉住后，拒绝饮食，工作人员准备把它们放至丛林中，但工作人员和一只驯养的象Arjun无论如何也不能把它们拖上车，这时这只聪明的象Arjun耐心地用爱来感化它们，成功地说服了这两只小象上车。
21．答案与解析：D'细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Both were shocked and sad and were refusing to touch any food including sugar cane for the entire day and night.”可知，这两只小象拒绝饮食是因为它们被捉之后心里不开心，也就是心理上不能适应这里的环境，故选D。
22．答案与解析：B'推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“But Arjun was sympathetic... assured them of being calm.”以及最后一段中的“Soon both of them showed affection for each other... obedient students.”可推断出，是Arjun耐心的安慰和爱促使这两只小象乖乖地上车。
23．答案与解析：A'推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Two baby elephants were two years old... from the elder ones.”可知，一开始这两只小象桀骜不驯，选择脱离群体来摆脱大象们的束缚；再根据第一段中的“Both were shocked... day and night.”以及第三段中的“I saw their eyes were filled with sadness.”可知，这两只小象被工作人员捉住后不开心；根据倒数第二段中的“Our staff tried to... they resisted hard.”可知，这两只小象十分倔强，不愿上车；再根据倒数第二段中的“Magically we saw... found hope.”以及最后一段中的“Then they were... like obedient students.”可知，它们被Arjun的爱感化后，渐渐对未来怀有希望，最终上了车。故答案为A。

29．答案与解析：B'细节理解题。由文章第二段“The team analyzed the viruses at different stages... disease.”可知，研究小组得出埃博拉病毒发展存在不同阶段。由文章第五段中的“The Ebola virus is such a destructive infection to the people affected by the disease and the economy of West Africa，”可知，埃博拉病毒对人破坏性的感染，严重影响了西非的经济。故可得知，随着病毒的传播，埃博拉病毒会逐渐变化，而且致死性越来越强，故选B。
30．答案与解析：B'词义猜测题。由上下文可知，埃博拉病毒具有致命性的危害，由此结合选项的词义可知，只有deadly具有此意。optimistic意为“乐观的”；deadly意为“致命的，致死的”；common意为“普通的；共有的”；fantastic意为“异想天开的”，故选B。
31．答案与解析：A'推理判断题。文章主要围绕埃博拉病毒进行说明的，故可得知本文是一篇科普类说明文。因此，本文可能摘自于科学报告中。science report意为“科学报告”；storybook意为“儿童故事书”；advertisement意为“广告”；textbook意为“教科书，课本”，故选A。
D

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。通过照顾得癌症的姑姑，“我”不仅改变了原先对老人和病人的看法，而且认识到人都会有需要帮助的时候，无论是身体上还是精神上。
36．答案与解析：D'结合第一段中的“forget things”和“Simple tasks became a challenge for her.”以及本空后面的“Then she went... radiation.”可知，D项“经过一些检查，我们被告知她得了脑癌。”符合语境。三者之间是顺承关系。
37．答案与解析：G'根据本空前面的“After school, I would go to my grandmother's home until my mom got off work.”可锁定G项中的“During this time”，本空后面的“I started... company.”是对G项“在这段时间里，奶奶开始让我帮她照顾姑姑。”的补充说明。
38．答案与解析：A'根据本空前面的“As... we began assisting...”和本空后面的“After a while I began...”可锁定A项中的“Next”，设空处与上下文为递进关系，故A项“接着我被要求帮忙给她洗澡。”符合语境。本空后的This即指代帮姑姑洗澡。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者的丈夫在地里干活时，无意中发现了一只松鸡。令人称奇的是，这只松鸡根本不怕人，逐渐与作者一家成了好朋友。周围的人们，包括猎人们，都很喜欢它。
41．答案与解析：D'下文语境题。根据下文“In fact，they're hard to spot”可知，这种松鸡平时很难看到，与人主动接触更是罕见。
42．答案与解析：B'上下文语境题。上下文之间是因果关系，所以用because连接。因为松鸡听到有人靠近就会飞走，所以人们很难看到它们。
43．答案与解析：A'下文语境题。根据倒数第二段第一句的“As spring went and summer came”可知，这只松鸡是在春天进入我们生活中的。
44．答案与解析：B'下文语境题。根据第四段第一句中的“Mildred came within a．.. watch”可知，这只松鸡似乎对作者的丈夫所做的事情很好奇。be curious about“对……感到好奇”。
45．答案与解析：C'上文语境题。这只松鸡很愿意与人接触，因此看起来很友好。根据倒数第二段最后一句也能得出答案。其他形容词不符合语境。shy“害羞的”；awkward“尴尬的”；elegant“优雅的”。
46．答案与解析：C'上下文语境题。作者一家人越来越喜欢这只松鸡，并且给她取了一个名字。grow/be fond of“喜爱”。
47．答案与解析：D'上下文语境题。根据语境可知，作者的丈夫假装没有看到这只松鸡，继续在地里干活，想看看接下来这只松鸡会做什么。
48．答案与解析：A'下文语境题。根据下文描述的松鸡的动作可知，这只松鸡很不喜欢被别人忽视，于是主动上前进攻作者的丈夫。
49．答案与解析：B'上下文语境题。松鸡跑上前，用嘴啄汤姆的手，然后向后退，想看看汤姆会怎么做。back off“后退”。
50．答案与解析：A'上文语境题。上文描述的松鸡的行为就好像是与汤姆做的一种游戏。后来，松鸡厌倦了这种游戏，然后走开了。
51．答案与解析：A'上下文语境题。事情发展的结果越来越有趣，最后，这只松鸡居然跳到汤姆的腿上玩耍。
52．答案与解析：C'上下文语境题。作者把松鸡跳到丈夫腿上玩耍的镜头拍摄下来，于是有了一张合影。
53．答案与解析：A'上下文语境题。很快，这只松鸡不但感到与作者一家人相处很自在，而且与任何从她旁边经过的人都相处得很自在。
54．答案与解析：B'上下文语境题。狩猎季节来到了，作者一家在自家车道的尽头竖了一个牌子，请求猎人们不要射杀这只松鸡。

59．答案与解析：smaller'考查形容词的比较级。此处表示与现在相比“更小”的时候，且前有much修饰，故用形容词的比较级。
60．答案与解析：are conditioned'考查固定用法。句意：随着它们长大，它们已经习惯了相信它们不能逃脱。be conditioned to“习惯于”。
61．答案与解析：so'考查连词。设空处前后为因果关系，所以用so。
62．答案与解析：believed'考查动词的时态。根据前边的could和宾语从句的时态可知用一般过去时。

64．答案与解析：simply'考查副词。此处应用副词作状语。

Dear Peter，
I am writing to ask a favor of you. This September, I am going to have you help me find a proper accommodation for four?month further study in the USA.
Can you find one flat with a kitchen? I am not quite used to the western food, so I would like to cook myself. Besides, Internet connection is a must for me to submit some assignments. To lower the cost, I prefer to share the flat with a friendly and easy?going native English speaker so that I can practice my spoken English. I would be grateful for your help.
Looking forward to your early reply.

参考范文：
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to the tap. Billy turned it on and began to cup both hands. He knelt down，letting the drip slowly fill up his “cup”. And now I knew what was going on. Obviously, he was afraid of being scolded for wasting water, so he avoided asking me for help. When he stood up and turned back, I walked toward him. His eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, I'm not wasting.”
This time I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him tend to the baby deer alone while I just helped fetch the water. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, himself, was weeping with pride. I couldn't believe it was raining!
