Meeting
your
ancestors
Ⅰ.七选五
The
jobs
of
the
future
have
not
yet
been
invented.
__1__
By
helping
them
develop
classic
skills
that
will
serve
them
well
no
matter
what
the
future
holds.
1．Curiosity
Your
children
need
to
be
deeply
curious.
__2__
Ask
kids，“What
ingredients
(配料)
can
we
add
to
make
these
pancakes
even
better
next
time？”
and
then
try
them
out.“Did
those
ingredients
make
the
pancakes
better？”“What
could
we
try
next
time？”
2．Creativity
True
creativity
is
the
ability
to
take
something
existing
and
create
something
new
from
it.
__3__
There
are
a
dozen
different
things
you
can
do
with
them.Experimenting
with
materials
to
create
something
new
can
go
a
long
way
in
helping
them
develop
their
creativity.
3．Interpersonal
Skills
Understanding
how
others
feel
can
be
a
challenge
for
kids.We
know
what's
going
on
inside
our
own
head，but
what
about
others?
Being
able
to
read
people
helps
kids
from
misreading
a
situation
and
jumping
to
false
conclusions.
__4__
“Why
do
you
think
she's
crying？”“Can
you
tell
how
that
man
is
feeling
by
looking
at
his
face？”“If
someone
were
to
do
that
to
you，how
would
you
feel？”
4．Self
Expression
__5__
There
are
many
ways
to
express
thoughts
and
ideas—music,
acting,
drawing,
building,
photography.You
may
find
that
your
child
is
attracted
by
one
more
than
another.
A．Encourage
kids
to
cook
with
you.
B．And
we
can't
forget
science
education.
C．We
can
give
kids
chances
to
think
about
materials
in
new
ways.
D．So
how
can
we
help
our
kids
prepare
for
jobs
that
don't
yet
exist?
E．Gardening
is
another
great
activity
for
helping
kids
develop
this
skill.
F．We
can
do
this
in
real
life
or
ask
questions
about
characters
in
stories.
G．Being
able
to
communicate
ideas
in
a
meaningful
way
is
a
valuable
skill.
本文介绍了培养孩子技能的方法，这些技能包括好奇心、创造力、交际能力和自我表达。
1．D 解析：根据空后的“By
helping
them
develop
classic
skills
that
will
serve
them...”可知，这里叙述的是帮助他们发展一些技能以应对未来。由此推断，上句应为“应该怎样帮助孩子为未来的工作而做准备”，故选D。
2．A 解析：根据下面的内容可知，此处是鼓励孩子们和你一起做饭。
3．C 解析：根据上文中的“create
something
new”等可知，要给孩子们用新方法思考的机会，故选C项。
4．F 解析：联系下面的几个问题可知F项正确。
5．G 解析：根据该段小标题及空格后的“ways
to
express
thoughts”可知，此处所填内容与交流有关，故选G项。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Monkeys
seem
to
have
a
way
with
numbers.
A
team
of
researchers
trained
three
Rhesus
monkeys
to
associate
26
clearly
different
symbols
consisting
of
numbers
and
selective
letters
with
0—25
drops
of
water
or
juice
as
a
reward.The
researchers
then
tested
how
the
monkeys
combined—or
added—the
symbols
to
get
the
reward.
Here's
how
Harvard
Medical
School
scientist
Margaret
Livingstone，who
led
the
team，described
the
experiment：In
their
cages
the
monkeys
were
provided
with
touch
screens.On
one
part
of
the
screen，a
symbol
would
appear，and
on
the
other
side
two
symbols
inside
a
circle
were
shown.For
example，the
number
7
would
flash
on
one
side
of
the
screen
and
the
other
end
would
have
9
and
8.If
the
monkeys
touched
the
left
side
of
the
screen
they
would
be
rewarded
with
seven
drops
of
water
or
juice；if
they
went
for
the
circle，they
would
be
rewarded
with
the
sum
of
the
numbers—17
in
this
example.
After
running
hundreds
of
tests，the
researchers
noted
that
the
monkeys
would
go
for
the
higher
values
more
than
half
the
time，indicating
that
they
were
performing
a
calculation，not
just
memorizing
the
value
of
each
combination.
When
the
team
examined
the
results
of
the
experiment
more
closely，they
noticed
that
the
monkeys
tended
to
underestimate(低估)
a
sum
compared
with
a
single
symbol
when
the
two
were
close
in
value—sometimes
choosing，for
example，a
13
over
the
sum
of
8
and
6.The
underestimation
was
systematic：When
adding
two
numbers，the
monkeys
always
paid
attention
to
the
larger
of
the
two，and
then
added
only
a
fraction
(小部分)
of
the
smaller
number
to
it.
“This
indicates
that
there
is
a
certain
way
quantity
is
represented
in
their
brains，”Dr
Livingstone
says.“But
in
this
experiment
what
they're
doing
is
paying
more
attention
to
the
big
number
than
the
little
one.”
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了哈佛医学院做的一项动物实验，实验发现猴子能进行基本的加法运算。
1．What
did
the
researchers
do
to
the
monkeys
before
testing
them?
A．They
fed
them.
B．They
named
them.
C．They
trained
them.
D．They
measured
them.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A
team
of
researchers
trained
three
Rhesus
monkeys...”和“The
researchers
then
tested
how
the
monkeys
combined—or
added—the
symbols
to
get
the
reward.”可知研究者们是先训练猴子然后才进行测试的，故选C项。其他三项均未提及。
2．How
did
the
monkeys
get
their
reward
in
the
experiment?
A．By
drawing
a
circle.
B．By
touching
a
screen.
C．By
watching
videos.
D．By
mixing
two
drinks.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If
the
monkeys
touched
the
left
side
of
the
screen
they
would
be
rewarded
with
seven
drops
of
water
or
juice...”可知猴子们是通过触碰屏幕得到奖励的，故选B项。其他三项均不是猴子所做的事。
3．What
did
Livingstone's
team
find
about
the
monkeys?
A．They
could
perform
basic
addition.
B．They
could
understand
simple
words.
C．They
could
memorize
numbers
easily.
D．They
could
hold
their
attention
for
long.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段可知，研究人员在进行了数百次测试后发现，猴子多半时候会选择更高的值，这表明它们是在进行计算，而不仅仅是记忆每个组合的值。
4．In
which
section
of
a
newspaper
may
this
text
appear?
A．Entertainment.
B．Health.
C．Education.
D．Science.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。全文围绕科学实验展开——研究者训练猴子并对其进行测试后发现猴子能够进行简单的加法运算，但有时计算的结果不够精确。由此可知，该文章可能出现在报纸的科学版上。

I
ran
my
first
race
when
I

1．who
解析：考查定语从句。dad后的从句是非限制性定语从句，先行词为dad，关系词在从句中作主语，故用who引导该非限制性定语从句。
2．in
解析：考查介词。in
memory
of是固定短语，表示“为了纪念……”。
3．grew
解析：考查时态和语态。本句中的“always
talked
about
it”暗示，这里指在作者的成长过程中，父亲总是跟自己谈到马拉松。因此用一般过去时。I与grow为主谓关系，故填grew。
4．the
解析：考查冠词。定冠词the在此表示特指。
5．frequently
解析：考查词性转换。所填词在句中修饰动词said，因此用副词。
6．gaining
解析：考查非谓语动词。look
forward
to中的to是介词，其后接名词、动名词或代词。故此处用gain的动名词形式gaining。
7．districts
解析：考查名词的数。由句中的修饰词“various”可知此处用复数名词districts。
8．and
解析：考查连词。suffered
a
stroke和couldn't
run
anymore是承接关系，故用and连接它们。
9．what
解析：考查名词性从句。“Seeing”后的宾语从句缺少主语，所填词表示“……的事”，因此用what引导该从句。
10．can
解析：考查情态动词。依据“I'll
be
running”可知，这里指作者对未来的想法，as
long
as引导条件状语从句，can在从句中表示能力。Unit

shop.Zac
knows
the
meaning
of
a
Purple
Heart—he
earned
one
himself
in
a
war
as
a
soldier.So
when
his
mother
gave
him
the
medal，he
knew
right
away
what
he
had
to
do.
Through
the
Internet，Zac
tracked
down
Corrado's
sister
Adeline
Rockko.But
when
he
finally
reached
her，the
woman
flooded
him
with
questions：“Who
are
you？What
antique
shop？”
However，when
she
hung
up，she
regretted
the
way
she
had
handled
the
call.So
she
called
Zac
back
and
apologized.Soon
she
drove
to
meet
Zac
in
Watertown，N.Y.“At
that
point，I
knew
she
meant
business，”
Zac
says.
“To
drive
eight
hours
to
come
to
see
me.”
The
Piccolis
grew
up
the
children
of
Italian
immigrants
in
Watertown.Corrado，a
translator
for
the
army
during
WWⅡ，was
killed
in
action
in
Europe.
Before
hearing
from
Zac，Adeline
hadn't
realized
the
medal
was
missing.Like
many
military
medals，the
one
Zac's
mother
had
found
was
a
family
treasure.
“This
medal
was
very
precious
to
my
parents.Only
on
special
occasions
(场合)
would
they
take
it
out
and
let
us
hold
it
in
our
hands，”
Adeline
says.
As
a
child，Adeline
couldn't
understand
why
the
medal
was
so
significant.“But
as
I
grew
older，”
Adeline
says，“and
missed
my
brother
more
and
more，I
realized
that
was
the
only
thing
he
had
left.”
Corrado
Piccoli's
Purple
Heart
medal
now
hangs
at
the
Italian
American
Civic
Association
in
Watertown.
Zac
recently
returned
another
lost
medal
to
a
family
in
Alabama.Since
he
first
reunited
Corrado's
medal，Zac
says
his
record
is
now
5
for
5.
本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Zac的一个不同寻常的业余爱好：当在古董店或者网上找到旧的军队勋章时，他会设法找到其合法的主人并且归还勋章。

says.‘To
drive
eight
hours
to

B
Zhoukoudian
is
a
small
village
situated
about
50
kilometers
to
the
southwest
of
Beijing.In
the
1920s,
archaeologists
discovered
some
prehistoric
human
bones
there
which
changed
people's
view
of
China's
history.They
came
from
an
unknown
species
of
man
and
were
the
first
evidence
of
human
life
in
China
thousands
of
years
ago.The
remains
were
three
teeth!
In
1929,
a
complete
skull
was
also
discovered.Eventually,
archaeologists
found
almost
200
items,
including
six
skulls
and
more
than
150
teeth.These
discoveries
proved
the
existence
of
a
human
species
who
lived
in
the
area
between
700,000
and
200,000
years
ago.Four
sites
where
Beijing
Man
and
his
relatives
lived
were
discovered
on
the
northern
face
of
Longgushan.They
lived
in
the
caves
in
the
area.
However,
the
life
span
of
Beijing
Man
was
short.About
70%
of
the
people
probably
died
before
the
age
of
14.Fewer
than
5%
lived
to
the
age
of
50.Ashes
were
found
alongside
the
fossils
which
showed
they
had
used
fire
for
cooking
food
and
also
for
light,
warmth,
and
protection
against
wild
animals.This
is
the
earliest
evidence
of
the
use
of
fire
anywhere
in
the
world.They
also
made
tools
of
bones
and
stones.Unfortunately,
when
Japan
invaded
China
in
1937,
excavations
at
the
Beijing
Man
Site
stopped
and
most
of
the
fossils
disappeared,
including
a
Beijing
Man
skull.After
the
People's
Republic
of
China
was
established
in
1949,
the
work
started
again.
Zhoukoudian
was
listed
as
a
World
Heritage
Site
in
December
1987.It
has
not
only
given
us
important
information
about
prehistoric
Asian
societies,
but
also
provided
amazing
evidence
about
the
process
of
evolution.Today，parts
of
the
caves
have
been
badly
affected
by
rain.Some
areas
are
almost
completely
covered
in
weeds,
causing
serious
damage.Pollution
from
the
nearby
factories
has
also
contributed
to
the
problem.This
is
a
very
serious
matter
and
the
Chinese
Academy
of
Sciences
is
trying
to
raise
public
awareness
of
it.
文章向我们介绍了周口店“北京人”遗址，它的位置、发现过程以及考古意义。
4．Archaeologists
________.
A．thought
that
Zhoukoudian
was
a
beautiful
village
B．thought
that
the
findings
in
Zhoukoudian
wouldn't
change
the
history
of
China
C．discovered
some
prehistoric
human
bones
in
Zhoukoudian
D．thought
that
the
findings
in
Zhoukoudian
are
the
first
evidence
of
human
life
in
Asia
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In
the
1920s，archaeologists
discovered
some
prehistoric
human
bones
there
which
changed
people's
view
of
China's
history.”可知答案。
5．Which
of
the
following
statements
is
NOT
true?
A．The
digging
was
delayed
by
the
Japanese
invasion
in
the
1930s.
B．These
ancient
Chinese
were
the
first
people
to
use
fire
in
daily
life.
C．Some
valuable
things
excavated
from
the
site
are
still
missing.
D．The
digging
of
Zhoukoudian
is
famous
and
is
well
funded.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的内容可知A、B、C三项都正确，根据最后一段周口店遗址的破坏可以确定没有吸引到资金。
6．What's
the
main
idea
of
the
last
paragraph?
A．The
digging
of
Zhoukoudian
is
still
under
way.
B．Zhoukoudian
plays
an
important
part
in
the
study
of
prehistoric
societies.
C．Zhoukoudian
is
a
World
Heritage
Site.
D．Zhoukoudian
is
in
great
need
of
protection.
答案：D
解析：段落大意题。本段在开头叙述完周口店对于考古的意义之后详细叙述周口店现在所处的糟糕状况，因此D项才是该段的大意。
7．From
the
passage,
we
can
infer
that
________.
A．the
work
of
excavating
the
Beijing
Man
Site
has
not
proceeded
smoothly
B．Beijing
Man
had
a
short
life
C．Beijing
Man
lived
in
the
caves
of
Longgushan
D．archaeologists
found
six
complete
skulls
and
more
than
150
teeth
in
1929
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的最后两句：对北京人遗址的发掘工作由于日本的侵略曾一度终止，新中国成立后，发掘工作又重新开始。由此可以推知对北京人遗址的发掘工作进展得不顺利。B项是事实而不是推论，C、D两项是错误的。故选A。
