A
Republic
of
Korean
man
and
the
21
ducklings
he
has
been
raising
as
his
children
ever
since
they
hatched
have
been
breaking
the
Internet
with
their
amazing
bond.
A
video
that
recently
went
viral
in
the
western
world
shows
the
cute
birds
following
their
“mother”
on
a
mountain
hike
and
listening
to
his
every
command.
The
middle-aged
man,
whose
name
is
not
revealed
in
the
video,
has
been
taking
care
of
his
21
ducklings
ever
since
they
were
eggs,
making
sure
the
incubation(孵化)
period
went
smoothly,
and
even
helping
the
tiny
birds
break
through
their
shell
when
it
came
time
to
hatch.
He
was
the
first
thing
they
laid
eyes
on
in
this
world,
and
he
has
remained
the
most
important
figure
in
their
lives
since.
Ducklings
naturally
follow
their
mother
around,
and
since
the
man
was
the
one
who
acted
as
their
mother,
these
birds
follow
him
everywhere,
even
up
a
mountain.
To
them
it’s
only
natural,
but
the
middle-aged
man
considers
it
training
and
conditioning
for
the
time
when
he
finally
releases
them
into
the
wild.
He
would
love
to
raise
them
all
as
pets,
but
knows
that
wouldn’t
be
ideal
for
him
or
the
birds,
so
he’s
making
sure
that
they
are
strong
enough
to
survive
in
the
wild.
The
video
shows
the
ducks
following
the
middle-aged
man
as
he
hikes
up
a
mountain
outside
Seoul,
stopping
whenever
he
does
and
refusing
to
follow
anyone
else,
even
if
they
give
the
same
“let’s
go”
command
their
human
mother
does.
Unless
they
hear
his
voice
and
see
him
moving,
they
don’t
budge.
It’s
actually
quite
remarkable.
I
mean,
it’s
one
thing
to
see
dogs
acting
like
this,
but
ducklings?
That’s
something
else.
While
it’s
not
clear
what
the
man
does
for
a
living,
I’m
pretty
sure
he
has
a
lot
of
experience
with
ducks,
as
at
one
point
he
reveals
a
certificate
for
“father
of
ducklings”
dated
2005.
【语篇概述】这是一篇新闻报道类阅读。文章主要讲了韩国一位中年男子把小鸭子当“孩子”养,这些小鸭子把他当成了“妈妈”,到处跟着他,很自然地服从他的命令。
1.
What
can
we
learn
from
the
video?
A.
The
ducklings
just
broke
through
their
shells.
B.
The
man
accidentally
saved
some
ducklings.
C.
The
ducklings
just
obeyed
the
man
naturally.
D.
The
man
took
pride
in
his
ducklings.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。答案定位在第三段Ducklings
naturally
follow
their
mother
around,
and
since
the
man
was
the
one
who
acted
as
their
mother,
these
birds
follow
him
everywhere,
even
up
a
mountain.
(小鸭子很自然地会跟着它们的妈妈到处走,因为这个人表现得就像它们的妈妈,所以这些小鸭子到处跟着他,甚至上了山。)由此可知,我们能从这个视频中得知,小鸭子们很自然地服从这个人。
2.
What’s
the
man’s
purpose
of
raising
the
ducklings?
A.
To
make
a
living
by
performing.
B.
To
film
a
video
to
attract
attention.
C.
To
free
them
into
the
wild
one
day.
D.
To
make
a
contribution
to
a
bird
reserve.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。答案定位在第三段To
them
it’s
only
natural,
but
the
middle-aged
man
considers
it
training
and
conditioning
for
the
time
when
he
finally
releases
them
into
the
wild.
(对它们来说,这是很自然的,但是这个中年男人认为这是为它们最终被放归野外而进行的训练和熏陶。)由此可知,这个男子养小鸭子的目的是有一天把它们放归野外。
3.
Which
of
the
following
can
best
replace
the
underlined
word
“budge”
in
Paragraph
4?
A.
Attack.
B.
Move.
C.
End.
D.
Struggle.
【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据上文可知,视频显示,当这名中年男子爬上首尔郊外的一座山时,鸭子们跟着他,无论他什么时候停下来,它们都不愿跟着任何人,即使他们发出和人类母亲同样的“让我们走”命令。由此推断,Unless
they
hear
his
voice
and
see
him
moving,
they
don’t
budge.
意思是:
除非它们听到他的声音,看到他在动,否则它们不会动。
4.
What
can
be
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A.
“Father”
and
“mother”

Although
problems
are
a
part
of
our
lives,
it
certainly
doesn’t
mean
that
we
let
them
rule
our
lives
forever.
One
day
or
the
other,
you
will
have
to
stand
up
and
say
—
problem,
I
don’t
want
you
in
my
life.
1
Problems
with
friends,
parents,
girlfriends,
husbands,
and
children
—
the
list
goes
on.
Apart
from
these,
the
inner
conflicts
within
ourselves
work,
too.
These
keep
adding
to
our
problems.
Problems
come
in
different
shapes
and
colors
and
feelings.
?
But
good
news
is
that
all
problems
can
be
dealt
with.
Now
read
on
to
know
how
to
solve
your
problems.
Talk,
it
really
helps.
What
most
of
us
think
is
that
our
problem
can
be
understood
only
by
us
and
that
no
talking
is
going
to
help.
2
Talking
helps
you
move
on
and
let
go.
?
Write
your
problems.
3
When
you
write
down
your
problems,
you
are
setting
free
all
the
tension
from
your
system.
You
can
try
throwing
away
the
paper
on
which
you
wrote
your
problems.
By
doing
this,
imagine
yourself
throwing
away
the
problems
from
your
life.
?
Don’t
lose
faith
and
hope.
No
matter
what
you
lose
in
life,
don’t
lose
faith
and
hope.
Even
if
you
lose
all
your
money,
family.
.
.
,
you
should
still
have
faith.
4 ?
Your
problems
aren’t
the
worst.
No
matter
what
problem
you
get
in
life,
there
are
another
one
million
people
whose
problems
are
huger
than
yours.
5
Your
problems
might
just
seem
big
and
worse,
but
in
reality
they
can
be
removed.
?
Go
about
and
solve
your
problems
because
every
problem,
however
big
or
small,
always
has
a
way
out.
A.
Tell
yourself:
when
they
can
deal
with
them,
why
can’t
I?
B.
With
faith
and
hope,
you
can
rebuild
everything
that
you
lose.
C.
Of
course,
we’ve
been
fighting
problems
ever
since
we
were
born.
D.
We
can
often
overcome
the
problem
and
achieve
the
goal
by
making
a
direct
attack.
E.
Having
a
personal
diary
can
also
be
of
huge
help
if
you
don’t
want
a
real
person
to
talk
with.
F.
When
we
have
a
problem,
a
pressing,
critical,
urgent,
life-threatening
problem,
how
do
we
try
and
solve
it?
G.
But
the
truth
is
that
when
you
talk
about
it,
you’re
setting
free
the
negative
energies
that
have
been
gathering
within
you.

According
to
a
team
of
researchers,an
animal’s
ability
to
perceive(感知)time
is
linked
to
their
pace
of
life.
“Our
results
lend
support
to
the
importance
of
time
perception
in
animals
where
the
ability
to
perceive
time
in
a
very
short
time
may
be
the
difference
between
life
and
death
for
fast
moving
creatures,”
commented
lead
author
Kevin
Healy
from
Trinity
College
Dublin.
The
study
was
done
with
a
variety
of
animals
using
phenomenon
based
on
the
maximum
speed
of
flashes
of
light
an
individual
can
see
before
the
light
source
is
seen
as
constant.
Dogs,for
example,have
eyes
with
a
refresh
rate
higher
than
humans.
One
example
of
this
phenomenon
at
work,the
authors
say,is
the
housefly
and
its
ability
to
avoid
being
hit.
The
research
showed
flies
“observe
motion
in
a
shorter
time
than
our
own
eyes
can
achieve”,which
allows
them
to
avoid
being
hit.
Professor
Graeme
Ruxton
of
the
University
of
St
Andrews
in
Scotland,who
worked
jointly
on
the
research
project,said
in
a
statement,“Having
eyes
that
send
updates
to
the
brain
at
much
higher
frequencies
than
our
eyes
do
is
of
no
value
if
the
brain
cannot
process
that
information
equally
quickly.
Thus,this
work
highlights
the
impressive
abilities
of
even
the
smallest
animal
brains.
Flies
might
not
be
deep
thinkers,but
they
can
make
good
decisions
very
quickly.
”
In
comparison,the
tiger
beetle(虎甲虫)runs
faster
than
its
eyes
can
keep
up,basically
becoming
blind,which
requires
it
to
stop
periodically
to
re-evaluate
its
prey’s(猎物)position.
Our
results
suggest
that
time
perception
offers
an
unstudied
dimension
along
which
animals
can
specialize
and
there
is
considerable
range
to
study
this
system
in
more
detail.
【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了对动物时间感知的研究。
1.
What
is
the
research
mentioned
in
the
passage
mainly
about?
A.
Pace
of
life
of
animals.
B.
Impressive
abilities
of
animals.
C.
Lifetime
of
small
animals.
D.
Time
perception
of
animals.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第一段“According
to
a
team
of
researchers,an
animal’s
ability
to
perceive
time
is
linked
to
their
pace
of
life.
”可知,据一组研究人员称,动物感知时间的能力与它们的生活节奏有关,由此可知,文中提到的这项研究是关于动物的时间感知的。
2.
What
does
Kevin
Healy’s
comment
mean
in
Para.
2?
A.
The
survival
of
fast
moving
animals
relies
on
their
ability
to
perceive
time.
B.
Animals
with
quicker
pace
of
life
have
better
perception
of
time.
C.
The
ability
of
animals
to
perceive
time
depends
on
their
high
moving
speed.
D.
Animals
with
poor
ability
of
time
perception
have
a
shorter
life.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第二段中的“the
importance
of
time
perception
in
animals
where
the
ability
to
perceive
time
in
a
very
short
time
may
be
the
difference
between
life
and
death
for
fast
moving
creatures”可知,对于能快速移动的动物而言,在极短的时间内感知时间的能力可能是生与死的区别,由此可知,Kevin
Healy说的意思是快速移动的动物的生存依赖于它们对时间的感知能力。
3.
Why
can
houseflies
avoid
being
hit?
A.
They
can
think
very
deeply
before
they
act.
B.
They
can
process
the
information
as
quickly
as
they
receive
it.
C.
They
can
fly
much
faster
than
their
eyes
can
keep
up.
D.
They
can
send
information
to
their
brain
more
quickly
than
to
their
eyes.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The
research
showed
flies
“observe
motion
in
a
shorter
time
than
our
own
eyes
can
achieve”,which
allows
them
to
avoid
being
hit.
”可知,家蝇观察物体运动的时间比我们自己的眼睛所能达到的时间要短,这使得它们能够避免被击中,再结合第五段中的“but
they
can
make
good
decisions
very
quickly”可知,它们可以很快做出好的决定,也就是说它们可以尽快处理收到的信息。
4.
What
will
a
tiger
beetle
have
to
do
to
catch
a
moving
prey?
A.
Slow
down
to
gain
its
time
perception.
B.
Prevent
itself
from
becoming
blind.
C.
Stop
occasionally
to
spot
the
prey
again.
D.
Try
to
run
as
fast
as
it
can.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“the
tiger
beetle
runs
faster
than
its
eyes
can
keep
up,basically
becoming
blind,which
requires
it
to
stop
periodically
to
re-evaluate
its
prey’s
position”可知,虎甲虫的移动比眼睛快,基本上是瞎的,这就要求它不时地停下来,重新评估猎物的位置,由此可知,为了抓住移动的猎物,虎甲虫需要不时地停下来重新确定猎物的位置。

A
Chicago
is
considering
firm
measures
to
prevent
the
Asian
carp,a
giant
fish
native
to
the
Far
East,
from
coming
into
North
America’s
Great
Lakes
in
large
numbers.
Such
a
move
could
cost
up
to$18
billion,
a
heavy
economic
burden
to
the
city.
This
species,
more
than
a
metre
in
length,
was
originally
introduced
to
southern
US
states
three
decades
ago
to
control
weeds
in
sewage
(污水)
treatment
plants.
But
they
escaped
into
the
Mississippi
River
and
increased
in
number
quickly,
making
their
way
north
towards
the
Great
Lakes
and
threatening
the
native
fish
species
along
the
way.
“Dozens
of
them
will
often
leap
out
of
the
water
as
boats
approach,”
Michael
Beecham,a
local
environmental
expert,
described
how
frightening
the
scene
was.
“I’ve
gone
down
the
river
and
seen
these
fish
jump
up
and
hit
me
in
the
face.
It
is
a
big
problem
for
our
native
species,”
he
said.
A
meeting
has
been
organized
to
find
a
technological
solution
to
the
carp
problem,
one
of
which
involves
blocking
parts
of
Chicago’s
canal
system.
Listening
at
the
meeting
was
John
Goss,
who
was
worried
about
the
effect
that
having
barriers
in
the
canal
system
would
have
on
industry.
“It
would
certainly
increase
the
cost
of
transportation,”
he
told.
“It
is
currently
very
cheap
and
efficient
to
bring
materials
and
finished
goods
down
the
Chicago
ship
canal.
”
Another
cheaper
option
is
to
eat
the
fish
out
of
existence.
Dirk
Fucik
is
selling
carp
burger(鲤鱼汉堡)
at
his
fish
shop
not
far
from
downtown
Chicago.
He
thinks
the
carps
are
a
great
resource.
“To
catch
it
and
throw
it
away
is
a
waste,”
he
says.
“Eating
them
helps
solve
the
problem
and
also
provides
jobs.
”
But
the
idea
has
not
yet
caught
on.
So
far,he
is
the
only
person
in
Chicago
selling
carp
burgers.
【语篇概述】你大概想不到,亚洲鲤鱼在北美洲泛滥成灾。芝加哥正在考虑采取措施与亚洲鲤鱼交战。
1.
What
can
we
learn
about
the
Asian
carp
according
to
the
passage?
A.
It
is
very
adaptable
to
the
new
environment.
B.
It
is
originally
used
to
control
weeds
in
the
Great
Lakes.
C.
It
has
become
a
new
food
in
many
restaurants.
D.
It
has
caused
parts
of
Chicago’s
canal
system
to
be
blocked.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据文章第二段可知,亚洲鲤鱼30年前被引进来控制污水处理厂的水草,但是它们逃进了密西西比河且数量急剧增加,向北朝五大湖游去,可推断出亚洲鲤鱼对新环境的适应能力很强。
2.
From
John
Goss’s
point
of
view,the
building
of
barriers
_______.
?
A.
can
force
the
Asian
carp
out
of
the
Great
Lakes
B.
may
lead
to
the
increasing
cost
of
industrial
products
C.
will
help
the
canal
system
work
more
efficiently
D.
will
bring
high
profits
to
the
related
companies
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知,John
Goss认为设立障碍一定会增加运输成本,可能会导致工业产品成本的增加。
3.
What
can
be
inferred
from
the
last
paragraph
of
the
passage?
A.
The
Americans
have
included
the
Asian
carp
in
their
food
list.
B.
Catching
Asian
carps
has
created
many
jobs
in
America.
C.
Dirk
Fucik
is
a
pioneer
in

City
trees
grow
faster
and
die
younger
than
trees
in
rural
forestry,
a
new
study
finds.
Over
their
lifetimes,
then,
urban
trees
will
likely
absorb
less
CO2
from
the
air
than
forest
trees.
As
we
all
know,
the
earth
would
be
freezing
or
burning
hot
without
CO2.
However,
CO2
is
a
greenhouse
gas,
meaning
it
traps
energy
from
the
sun
as
heat.
That
makes
temperatures
near
the
ground
rise.
Human
activities,
especially
the
widespread
burning
of
fossil(化石)fuels,have
been
sending
extra
greenhouse
gases
into
the
air.
This
has
led
to
a
rise
in
average
temperatures
across
the
globe.
Studies
had
shown
forests
readily
absorb
CO2,but
there
hadn’t
been
much
data
on
whether
city
trees
grow,
die
and
absorb
CO2
at
the
same
rate
as
forest
trees
do.
So
some
researchers
decided
to
find
out.
To
figure
out
how
quickly
trees
were
growing,
researchers
tracked
their
diameters
(the
width
of
their
trunks)
between
2005
and
2014.
A
tree’s
diameter
increases
as
it
grows,
just
as
a
person’s
waist
size
increases
as
they
gain
weight.
About
half
the
weight
of
a
tree
is
carbon,
research
has
shown.
Most
of
the
rest
is
water.
Over
the
nine
years’
tracking,
the
researchers
found
city
trees
absorbed
four
times
as
much
carbon
from
the
air
as
forest
trees.
However,
they
were
twice
as
likely
to
die.
So
over
the
lifetime
of
each
type
of
tree,
forest
trees
actually
absorbed
more
CO2.
City
trees
grew
faster
because
they
had
less
competition
for
light
from
their
neighbours.
In
a
forest,trees
tend
to
grow
close
together,shading
their
neighbours.
Street
trees
also
benefit
from
higher
levels
of
nitrogen
(氮)in
rainwater.
Nitrogen
helps
plants
grow.
Waste
gases
from
gas-burning
cars
also
contain
nitrogen,
thus
enriching
city
air
with
nitrogen.
Later,
rainwater
may
wash
much
of
it
to
the
ground.
Some
street
trees
may
also
have
better
access
to
water
than
trees
in
the
country
because
the
underground
water
pipes
can
leak.
【语篇概述】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现:
与长在森林中的树木相比,城市里的树木长得更快,但死得更早。

What
can
be
known
about
CO2
from
Paragraph
2?
A.
It
is
one
of
the
side
effects
of
greenhouses.
B.
It
greatly
accelerates
the
process
of
global
warming.
C.
It
results
from
the
widespread
burning
of
fossil
fuels.
D.
It
prevents
the
earth
from
becoming
unsuitable
to
live
on.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第二段中the
earth
would
be
freezing
or
burning
hot
without
CO2可知,如果没有二氧化碳,地球将会极冷或极热。由此可以推断,二氧化碳可以防止地球变得不适合居住。
6.
Why
did
researchers
track
the
diameters
of
trees?
A.
To
know
about
their
growth
rates.
B.
To
find
out
how
much
they
weigh.
C.
To
check
whether
they
were
healthy.
D.
To
assess
the
carbon
amounts
in
them.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段中To
figure
out
how
quickly
trees
were
growing,
researchers
tracked
their
diameters.
.
.
可知,研究人员监测树木的直径是为了了解树木的生长速度。
7.
What
advantage
do
city
trees
have
over
forest
trees?
A.
They
are
more
likely
to
access
growth
promoters.
B.
They
can
enjoy
more
water
coming
from
the
air.
C.
They
can
enjoy
more
shade
from
neighbours.
D.
They
are
better
at
competing
for
light.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知,与生长在森林中的树木相比,城市里的树木长得更快是因为它们无需与邻近的树木争夺光照,也能得到更多的氮,还更容易得到水。光、氮和水都可以促进树木的生长。由此可以推断,城市里的树木比森林中的树木更可能获得生长促进剂。
8.
What
will
probably
be
talked
about
if
the
passage
is
continued?
A.
How
urban
trees
can
live
longer.
B.
Why
city
living
makes
trees
die
young.
C.
How
trees
respond
to
dry
soil
conditions.
D.
Why
faster-growing
trees
absorb
more
CO2.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。文章首句就提到了一项新的研究结果:
城市里的树木比森林中的树木长得更快,但死得更早;文章第三段说到“以前有研究表明森林会吸收二氧化碳,但是城市里的树木生长、死亡和吸收二氧化碳的速度是否跟森林中的树木一样,这方面的数据不多。因此一些研究人员决定弄清楚”;文章第四段再次介绍了他们的研究发现:
城市里的树木比森林中的树木长得更快,但死得更早;文章最后一段介绍了城市里的树木比森林中的树木生长得更快的几个原因。由此可以推断,文章接下来很可能就要介绍城市里的树木死得早的原因。

A
My
father
loves
his
garden.
He
planted
some
seeds
in
it.
But
at
that
time
I
didn’t
understand
why
working
in
the
dirt
excited
him
so
much.
Unfortunately,
in
early
May,
my
father
was
seriously
injured
in
an
accident.
He
had
to
stay
in
bed
for
a
while.
My
mother
had
several
business
trips
so
she
couldn’t
take
care
of
the
garden.
I
didn’t
want
my
father
to
worry,
so
I
said
that
I
would
take
care
of
his
garden
until
he
recovered.
I
assumed
that
the
little
plants
would
continue
to
grow
as
long
as
they
had
water,
and
luckily
it
rained
fairly
often
so
I
didn’t
think
much
about
the
garden.
One
Saturday
morning,
my
father
said
to
me,
“Christine,
the
vegetables
should
be
about
ready
to
be
picked.
Let’s
have
a
salad
today!”
I
went
out
to
the
garden
and
was
upset
to
see
that
many
of
the
lettuce
leaves
and
carrots
had
been
half
eaten
by
bugs.
There
were
hundreds
of
bugs
all
over
them!
I
panicked
for
a
moment
but
then
I
quietly
went
to
the
nearest
store
to
buy
some
vegetables.
When
I
gave
the
salad
to
him,
he
said,
“Oh,
Christine,
what
a
beautiful
salad!
I
can’t
believe
the
carrots
are
this
big
already.
You
must
be
taking
very
good
care
of
my
garden.
”
I
felt
a
little
bit
guilty.
Coming
home,
my
mother
saw
the
bag
from
the
supermarket
in
the
kitchen.
I
was
embarrassed
and
I
admitted,
“Dad
wanted
a
salad,
but
the
garden
was
a
disaster.
I
didn’t
want
to
disappoint
him
so
I
went
to
the
store.
”
She
laughed
but
promised
to
help
me
in
the
garden
and
weeks
later
I
was
finally
able
to
pick
some.
I
carefully
made
a
salad
and
took
it
to
my
father.
He
looked
at
it
with
a
hint
of
a
smile.
“Christine
the
carrots
are
smaller
in
this
salad,
but
they
taste
better.
”
Now,
I
better
understand
how
putting
a
lot
of
effort
into
caring
for
something
can
help
you
appreciate
the
results
more,
however
small
they
may
be.
Perhaps
this
was
one
of
the
reasons
for
my
father’s
love
of
gardening.
【语篇概述】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了帮养病的爸爸照顾花园的经历让Christine明白了努力工作是值得的。
1.
Christine
originally
said
she
would
do
the
gardening
because
she
_______.
?
A.
knew
it
was
important
to
her

B.
wanted
to
improve
her
gardening
skills
C.
was
asked
by
her
father
to
do
it
D.
was
interested
in
growing
vegetables
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My
father
loves
his
garden.
”及第二段中的“I
didn’t
want
my
father
to
worry,
so
I
said
that
I
would
take
care
of
his
garden
until
he
recovered.
”可知,Christine的爸爸很喜欢花园,她不想让爸爸在养伤期间担心他的花园没人照顾,所以Christine说她会帮他照顾花园,也就是说Christine知道花园对爸爸很重要才说帮他照顾花园。
2.
Which
of
the
following
was
a
problem
in
the
garden?
A.
Animals
often
dug
in
the
garden.
B.
Insects
destroyed
the
lettuce
and
carrots.
C.
The
plants
were
given
too
much
water.
D.
The
vegetables
were
marked
incorrectly.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I
went

the
garden
and
was
upset
to
see
that
many
of
the
lettuce

”可知,Christine去花园看到许多莴苣叶和胡萝卜被虫子吃掉了一半,由此可知,花园的一个问题是昆虫破坏了莴苣和胡萝卜。
3.
Christine

early
May,
my
father
was
seriously
injured

”可知,现在,Christine更好地理解了为某事付出大量的努力可以帮助你更好地欣赏成果,不管成果有多小,言外之意,这个经历让Christine明白了努力工作是值得的。
B
A
store
owner
was
putting
a
sign
up
his
door
that
read
“Puppies
for
Sale.
”
Signs
like
that
have
a
way
of
attracting
small
children,
and
sure
enough,
a
little
boy
appeared
under
the
store
owner’s
sign.
“How
much
are
you
going
to
sell
the
puppies
for?”
he
asked.
The
store
owner
replied,
“Anywhere
from
$30
to
$50.
”
The
little
boy
reached
in
his
pocket
and
pulled
out
some
change.
“I
have
$2.
37,”
he
said.
“Can
I
please
look
at
them?”
The
store
owner
smiled
and
whistled
and
out
came
a
lady
followed
by
five
teeny-tiny
balls
of
fur.
One
puppy
was
lagging
(落后)
considerably
behind.
Immediately
the
little
boy
singled
out
the
lagging,
limping
(跛行)
puppy
and
said,
“What’s
wrong
with
that
little
dog?”
The
store
owner
explained
that
the
vet
had
examined
the
little
puppy
and
had
discovered
it
would
always
limp.
The
little
boy
became
excited.
“That’s
the
little
puppy
that
I
want
to
buy.
”The
store
owner
said,
“No,
you
don’t
want
to
buy
that
little
dog.
If
you
really
want
him,
I’ll
just
give
him
to
you.
”
The
little
boy
looked
straight
into
the
store
owner’s
eyes,
pointing
his
finger
and
said
offensively,
“I
don’t
want
you
to
give
him
to
me.
That
little
dog
is
worth
every
bit
as
much
as
all
the
other
dogs
and
I’ll
pay
full
price.
In
fact,
I’ll
give
you
$2.
37
now,
and
50

A
serious
problem
for
today’s
society
is
who
should
be
responsible
for
our
elderly
and
how
to
improve
their
lives.
It
is
not
only
a
financial
problem
but
also
a
question
of
the
system
we
want
for
our
society.
I
would
like
to
suggest
several
possible
solutions
to
this
problem.
First,
employers
should
take
the
responsibility
for
their
retired
employees.
To
make
this
possible,
a
percentage
of
profits
should
be
set
aside
for
this
purpose.
But
when
a
company
must
take
life-long
responsibility
for
its
employees,
it
may
suffer
from
a
commercial
disadvantage
due
to
higher
employee
costs.
Another
way
of
solving
the
problem
is
to
return
the
responsibility
to
the
individual.
This
means
each
person
must
save
during
his
working
years
to
pay
for
his
years
of
retirement.
This
does
not
seem
a
very
fair
model
since
some
people
have
enough
trouble
paying
for
their
daily
life
without
trying
to
earn
extra
to
cover
their
retirement
years.
This
means
the
government
might
have
to
step
in
to
care
for
the
poor.
In
addition,
the
government
could
take
responsibility
for
the
care
of
the
elderly.
This
could
be
financed
through
government
taxes
to
increase
the
level
of
pensions.
Furthermore,
some
institutions
should
be
created
for
senior
citizens,
which
can
help
provide
a
comfortable
life
for
them.
Unfortunately,
as
the
present
situation
in
our
country
shows,
this
is
not
a
truly
viable
answer.
The
government
can
seldom
afford
to
care
for
the
elderly,
particularly
when
it
is
busy
trying
to
care
for
the
young.
One
further
solution
is
that
the
government
or
social
organizations
establish
some
working
places
especially
for
the
elderly
where
they
are
independent.
To
sum
up,
all
these
options
have
advantages
and
disadvantages.
Therefore,
it
is
reasonable
to
expect
that
some
combination
of
these
options
may
be
needed
to
provide
the
care
we
hope
to
give
to
our
elderly
generations.
【语篇概述】很多国家都进入了老龄化社会。如何处理老龄化社会带来的诸多问题,成了大家关注的焦点。本文讲述了一些解决办法。

What
is
the
writer’s
main
purpose
in
writing
this
article?
A.
To
discuss
some
possible

to
an
important

B.
To
make
general
readers
aware
of
the
problems
of
retired
people.
C.
To
point
out
the
need
for
government
support
for
old
people.
D.
To
instruct
retired
people
on
how
they
can
have
a
happier
life.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。整个文章是总分结构,文章首段提出问题:
A
serious
problem
for
today’s
society
is
who
should
be
responsible
for
our

and
how

然后后面段落给出一些改善老人生活的建议,故可以推断出,作者写此文是为了讨论一些重要社会问题的可能的解决办法。
2.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“viable”
in
Paragraph
3
most
probably
mean?
A.
Impossible.
B.
Practical.
C.
Useful.
D.
Successful.
【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句The
government
can
seldom
afford
to
care
for
the
elderly,
particularly
when
it
is
busy
trying
to
care
for
the
young.
可知,由于政府忙于照顾小的,没有资金照顾老人,所以这措施是行不通的,没有可操作性。从而可以猜测viable为“可行的”。
3.
According
to
the
passage,
how
can
the
government
help
to
improve
the
lives
of
retired
people?
A.
Set
aside
some
profits
to
help
people
with
problems
after
they
retire.
B.
Increase
savings
levels
of
people
during
their
working
years.
C.
Increase
the
discounts
for
food
and
transport
for
the
old.
D.
Make
available
pensions
for
those
who
have
retired.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第三段中This
could
be
financed
through
government
taxes
to
increase
the
level
of
pensions.
可知,政府可以通过税收增加老人的养老金。
4.
What
can
be
concluded
from
the
passage?
A.
Taking
care
of
the
old
is
mainly
an
issue
of
money.
B.
Employers
should
allow
their
workers
to
retire
at
a
later
age.
C.
There
is
no
single
solution
to
the
problems
of
the
old.
D.
Becoming
independent
should
be
the
goal
of
most
old
people.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。文章第二至第五段提出了几种提高老人生活质量的建议,最后一段To
sum
up,
all
these
options
have
advantages
and
disadvantages.
Therefore,
it
is
reasonable
to
expect
that
some
combination
of
these
options
may
be
needed
to
provide
the
care
we
hope
to
give
to
our
elderly
generations.
可知,解决老人问题没有单一的方法。

In
my
opinion,
we
can
keep
pets
but
we
should
be
the
best
owners
of
pets.
In
the
first
place,
pets
can
bring
people
happiness.
Some
kinds
of
pets
even
can
help
cure
the
illness
of
people.
Then,
someone
doesn’t
like
pets
because
their
owners
spoil
their
pets
in
public
areas.
They
don’t
collect
the
rubbish
of
their
pets
or
let
their
pets
run
after
little
children.
In
all,
if
the
owner
can
keep
pets
in
a
good
way,
I
think
everyone
will
like
to
have
a
pet
in
their
family.

(2017·全国卷Ⅰ)
I
work
with
Volunteers
for
Wildlife,
a
rescue
and
education
organization
at
Bailey
Arboretum
in
Locust
Valley.
Trying
to
help
injured,
displaced
or
sick
creatures
can
be
heartbreaking;
survival
is
never
certain.
However,
when
it
works,
it
is
simply
beautiful.
I
got
a
rescue
call
from
a
woman
in
Muttontown.
She
had
found
a
young
owl(猫头鹰)
on
the
ground.
When
I
arrived,
I
saw
a
2-to
3-week-old
owl.
It
had
already
been
placed
in
a
carrier
for
safety.
I
examined
the
chick(雏鸟)
and
it
seemed
fine.
If
I
could
locate
the
nest,
I
might
have
been
able
to
put
it
back,
but
no
luck.
My
next
work
was
to
construct
a
nest
and
anchor
it
in
a
tree.
The
homeowner
was
very
helpful.
A
wire
basket
was
found.
I
put
some
pine
branches
into
the
basket
to
make
this
nest
safe
and
comfortable.
I
placed
the
chick
in
the
nest,
and
it
quickly
calmed
down.
Now
all
that
was
needed
were
the
parents,
but
they
were
absent.
I
gave
the
homeowner
a
recording
of
the
hunger
screams
of
owl
chicks.
These
advertise
the
presence
of
chicks
to
adults;
they
might
also
encourage
our
chick
to
start
calling
as
well.
I
gave
the
owner
as
much
information
as
possible
and
headed
home
to
see
what
news
the
night
might
bring.
A
nervous
night
to
be
sure,
but
sometimes
the
spirits
of
nature
smile
on
us
all!
The
homeowner
called
to
say
that
the
parents
had
responded
to
the
recordings.
I
drove
over
and
saw
the
chick
in
the
nest
looking
healthy
and
active.
And
it
was
accompanied
in
the
nest
by
the
greatest
sight
of
all
—
LUNCH!
The
parents
had
done
their
duty

【语篇概述】救助小动物并没有那么简单,因为你所做的救助行为到最后可能都成了无用功。但无论结果怎样,救助小动物的这种行为是美好的。本文主要介绍了作者救助一只小猫头鹰,给它做新的窝,帮助它找回父母的故事。

What
is
unavoidable
in
the
author’s
rescue
work
according
to
Paragraph
1?
A.
Efforts
made
in
vain.
B.
Getting
injured
in
his
work.
C.
Feeling
uncertain
about
his
future.
D.
Creatures
forced
out
of
their
homes.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第一段中的Trying
to
help
injured,
displaced
or
sick
creatures
can
be
heartbreaking;
survival
is
never
certain.
可知救助受伤的、流离失所的、生病的动物是令人心碎的,因为我们不知道救助的动物是否能活下去,也就是说我们为救助动物而花费的努力可能会白费,这是不可避免的。

Why
was
the
author
called
to
Muttontown?
A.
To
rescue
a
woman.
B.
To
take
care
of
a
woman.
C.
To
look
at
a
baby
owl.
D.
To
cure
a
young
owl.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第二段中的She
had
found
a
young
owl
on
the
ground.
When
I
arrived,
I
saw
a
2-to
3-week-old
owl.
可知有人给作者打电话是因为有只小猫头鹰掉在地上了,作者赶过去看看情况。文中并没有说小猫头鹰受伤了,作者只是过去看情况,所以D选项错误。故选C。
3.
What
made
the
chick
calm
down?
A.
A
new
nest.
B.
Some
food.
C.
A
recording.
D.
Its
parents.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段中的I
placed
the
chick
in
the
nest,
and
it
quickly
calmed
down.
可知在作者把小猫头鹰放在窝里之后,它很快就安静下来,所以是窝让小猫头鹰安静下来的。
4.
How
would
the
author
feel
about
the
outcome
of
the
event?
A.
It’s
unexpected.
B.
It’s
beautiful.
C.
It’s
humorous.
D.
It’s
discouraging.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据前文描述可知作者为小猫头鹰做了窝,并且帮助它找回了它的父母,小猫头鹰的父母还为它带回了午餐,作者的救助成功了,说明结局是美好的。再结合第一段的However,
when
it
works,
it
is
simply
beautiful.
可推测,作者感觉很美好。
