Last April, she was fired with no explanation. She realized the reason when hearing managers talking about how using ChatGPT was at a lower cost than having a human writer. Eric Fein had worked in a writing company for ten years. He became jobless last March because of ChatGPT. He said to his boss that ChatGPT couldn’t write with his level of creativity. His boss said he understood, but he would have to pay more to Fein than using ChatGPT. AI systems like ChatGPT could replace (替代) hundreds of millions of jobs in the future. And for those who write social media posts and ads, the effect is already here. However, experts say that even the best AI systems can’t match the writing skills of a human. It doesn’t have a personal voice or style. Besides, it often gives the wrong answers. Indeed, companies that have replaced human workers with ChatGPT have run into trouble. CNET, a technology news site, once used Al systems to write articles. The results, however, were full of mistakes. And the U.S. National Eating Disorders Company once replaced its helpline workers with robots. But it had to stop using the technology after the robots gave people harmful advice. After being replaced by ChatGPT, Fein and Lipkin didn’t give up. Fein has decided to be an air-conditioning technician(技师), a job that AI can’t do. And Lipkin now works as a dog walker. She says, “People are looking for the cheapest solution, and that’s not a person-it’s a robot.” 1.Why did Lipkin and Fein lose their jobs? A.There was less and less work for them to do. B.ChatGPT was much more creative than them. C.The cost savings were in the first place for the companies. 2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A.AI systems will replace all kinds of jobs. B.AI systems can write as well as human writers. C.AI systems still have a long way to go. 3.What can we know about ChatGPT? A.It requires no corrections in writing. B.It may give wrong suggestions to users. C.It can only be used to write articles. 4.Which of the following best describes Lipkin and Fein? A.Humorous and honest. B.Strong-minded and hard-working. C.Patient and easy-going. 5.What would be the best title for the passage? A.Will ChatGPT Replace Humans? B.Should Humans Trust ChatGPT? C.Will ChatGPT Become Creative? 2 Last year, a primary school in Jiangxi Province made a decision. It would no longer prepare meals in its own canteen (食堂). Instead, it would serve its students pre-made (预制的) food. The move quickly became a hot topic across the country. Many parents said that they were worried about food safety. Some of them even sent homemade meals to school at lunchtime every day. The Ministry of Education warns against introducing pre-made meals to schools. That’s mainly because there are not yet any national standards for such food. The market for pre-made meals has been developing quickly over the past few years. In 2022, there were more than 60,000 related companies in China. And the number is still growing. By 2026, the market will have reached more than one trillion yuan. What has made pre-made meals so popular? They have many advantages. They’re quick and convenient to prepare. They also have a long shelf life (保存期). However, parents’ worries are not without reason. Pre-made food may be acceptable every now and then, but few people eat it every day. Naturally, parents don’t want their children to do so, either. In fact, pre-made meals are all prepared by central kitchens. They’re not necessarily unhealthy compared with freshly cooked food. The problem is how to make sure these companies follow all the hygiene (卫生) rules when they cook and store food. For now, the pre-made food industry still has a long way to go. 6.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A.To ask a question. B.To lead to the main topic. C.To draw a conclusion. 7.Why is the Ministry of Education against pre-made meals? A.Because it thinks that pre-made food is not safe. B.Because pre-made meals are not so healthy as homemade meals. C.Because no national standards are set for pre-made food. 8.What do parents think of pre-made meals according to Paragraph 2? A.Quick and convenient. B.Tasty and healthy. C.Worrying and unacceptable. 9.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Not all the companies follow the hygiene rules. B.Pre-made meals are as healthy as freshly cooked food. C.Pre-made meals are all prepared in school kitchens. 10.Where is the passage most likely from? A.A newspaper. B.A science magazine. C.A health report. 3 “Have you ever heard that it’s impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times? Actually, it is just a popular myth. The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half many times in any direction. The paper is folded in half. Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper. _ But when you make the fifth and sixth folds, you’ll notice that it’s increasingly hard to fold the paper. Why does it happen? Because the number of the layers (层) of paper doubles with each fold. For example, after the sixth fold, you’re left with 64 layers of paper. If you have strong hands, you may be able to make that seventh fold. If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick, it’ll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds. And it would seem impossible to make more folds. At this point, you may be thinking that the paper-folding myth doesn’t sound much like a myth. However, in 2002, a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong. Britney successfully folded a 1.20-meter-long roll of toilet paper 12 times (note that she used single-direction folding). She also developed a math rule. This is convenient. It allows you to find out the maximum (最大的) number of possible folds based on paper thickness, paper length, and direction of folding. Since Britney’s success, many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times. Students even folded a piece of toilet paper a total of thirteen times. The toilet paper they used was about 4,000 meters long! 11.How thick is the notebook mentioned in the second paragraph? A.0.07 centimeters. B.0.64 centimeters. C.1.28 centimeters. 12.Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “_” in Paragraph 2. A.The first few folds are easy. B.It’s folded in the same direction. C.It’s too thick to fold it. 13.What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. 14.What can we learn from Britney Gallivan? A.Man doesn’t have a greater enemy than himself. B.Things that seem impossible may be achievable. C.Knowledge is the most valuable of all things. 15.Which of the following can be the best title? A.A Rule of Paper-Folding. B.A Paper-Folding Record. C.The Paper-Folding Myth. 4 Most people follow others blindly. Some people feel it safe to follow other people. In some rare cases it might be right, but in most cases this can make a big mistake. Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they are following the wrong group. Actually there are reasons why we shouldn’t follow others blindly. According to a study, people always follow others when they aren’t sure about the direction they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what’s right and what’s wrong! This attracts more people to follow them and the result is that most people move in a certain direction even if it is wrong. A man who wants to be successful always hopes for guidance from others and he usually follows the same path of most people, but the question this man never asks himself is, “Are all of those people successful?” Of course not! If you want to follow a group, then follow a successful one. However, in real life you’ll only find one successful person among hundreds of people, and that’s why following others makes no sense at all. Most people act without thinking wisely. If you always follow others because they’re greater than you, then sooner or later you’ll discover that you’re making decisions you might regret later. However, should we never follow others? No. But just think wisely before you make a decision. If you find others are right, there is no problem in following them, but if you doubt the direction they’re moving in, don’t follow them blindly. 16.What’s the percent of people who will succeed if they are following the wrong group? A.95% B.5% C.10% 17.What does the underlined word “guidance “ in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A.suggestions B.money C.care 18.Why do most people like to follow others blindly according to the passage ? A.Because they don’t want to be different. B.Because they are affected by the people around them. C.Because they’re sure to take the right direction. 19.What’s the best structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. 20.What’s the main idea of the passage? A.Advantages of following others. B.Examples of following others. C.Reasons for not following others blindly. 5 ① Fifteen-year-old Cathy posted a birthday party invitation and her address online. When her parents got back home that evening, they couldn’t believe their eyes! There were 500 people at the party, and some of them were breaking windows and plants, making a total mess of the house. ②Most teens think that things like this could never happen to them. A study shows that last year alone, more than three million young people worldwide got into trouble because of their online activities. ? ③RULE 1: Share with care Not everyone will like what you write online. Think before you post something. You can never completely control who sees your texts, pictures, or videos. Before posting, you should ask yourself two questions, “How will I feel if my family or teachers see this?” and “How might this post be bad for me in three, five or ten years from now?” ④RULE 2: Be polite when you write Imagine someone is unfriendly in real life. You don’t like it, right? Well, the same is true of online communication. No one likes it when you “shout” in your messages. DON’T USE ALL CAPITALS! ! ! If you feel angry while writing a message, wait a bit. Read it again later and then send it. ⑤RULE 3: Protect and respect Don’t share your personal information with anyone. Don’t post your home or email address online. Be careful about “cyberbullying”—don’t forward rumours (谣言) or say anything bad about other people. If you get messages like that or see them online, talk to an adult you know. 21.Which of the following can be put in ? A.Why could this happen B.Where should we start C.How can we be safer online 22.According to the writer, which of the following online posts is suggested? A.“I HATE RULES!” B.“Math class is soooo boring!” C.“100 Bad Days is a great song by AJR.” 23.The “cyberbullying” in the last paragraph probably means _.

A.Think Before You Act Online B.Online VS Offline World C.Internet Connects You and Me 6 You might imagine that the scariest sound in the African savanna (大草原) is the loud sound of a lion. However, a new study has found that wild mammals (哺乳动物) actually fear the sound of human voices more than any noise made by a big cat. The research was done by scientists in the Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, which is home to around 1,600 lions. The team set up speakers and cameras near 21 watering holes around he park between June and August. The park becomes very dry at that time of year, and this drives animals to head for the watering holes because most other rivers of fresh water have dried up. This makes watering holes popular hunting places for both lions and poachers (偷猎者). The researchers played different sounds including lions roaring, and humans speaking calmly in local languages. The animals at the watering holes mainly include elephants, giraffes, and rhinos (犀牛). The study found that animals were twice as likely to run away from a human voice as a lion sound. Animals also gave up the watering holes 40% faster when they heard human voices. The results suggest that animals living in the park have learned that being close to humans can be dangerous because they might be poachers. This could be a problem for national parks and areas that make money from tourists coming to watch the animals, because tourists might scare the animals away. However, the finding might be very useful for wildlife protection. Endangered animals, such as the southern white rhinos, could be protected by using recorded human voices—the sounds could keep them away from areas popular with poachers. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 26.What is written at the beginning of the text? A.The finding of a new study. B.The problem of wild animals. C.The influence of human voice 27.What does the underlined word “this” refer to? A.The dry weather. B.The river.

C.Warning the poachers not to hurt the animals. 30.What is the best title of the text? A.Scary Sound, Scary Ground! B.Rhinos, Friends or Enemies? C.Human Voices, Good or Bad? 7 Anyone can perform the movements and forms of the ancient Chinese art of Tai Chi. Each of the forms, also called “steps”, looks like the movements of different animals. Practicing these Tai Chi steps may help improve a person’s posture (姿态) and health. Tai Chi comes from martial arts and Taoism (道教) in China. Tai Chi steps focus on the balance of yin and yang. A perfect balance of yin and yang helps qi to flow throughout the whole body. People can perform the movements of Tai Chi steps for different reasons. People in deep thought may also find inner peace through Tai Chi. There are many possible benefits of Tai Chi, including reducing worries, lowering blood pressure, improving posture and balance, and helping reduce pain. There are different forms or steps in Tai Chi, and many of their names describe the movements of animals, such as “Grasp the Bird's Tails” and “Snake Creeps Through the Grass”. Each movement should flow into the next one, and people should try to perform the set of Tai Chi steps again and again. People who wish to perform Tai Chi well should prefer basic movements first, like hand movements and skills, standing postures, leg skills and body forms. A Tai Chi coach should teach these basic TaiChi steps before leading the group into more difficult forms. A person performing these Tai Chi steps should follow a few basic rules of the ancient art. The difficult set of movements requires strong attention. In order to achieve perfect balance, the person should try to keep the perfect skill without shaking. 31.The key to Tai Chi is _. A.balance B.movement C.practice 32.Who can most probably get great benefits from practicing Tai Chi? A.Those who want to calm down. B.Those who have enough patience.

B.Learn about yin and yang. C.Work hard on basic movements. 35.What's the main idea of the passage? A.The history of Tai Chi. B.The influence of Tai Chi. C.The basic knowledge of Tai Chi. 8 Water is important for all living things on Earth. The water cycle (循环) is a natural process (过程) that takes water from the ground and the sky and brings it back to the earth again. It is a cycle that happens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China. The water cycle always begins with water vapour (蒸汽). When it’s hot outside, you can see clouds forming in the sky. These clouds are made of water vapour that comes from the ground, plants and rivers. As water vapour rises into the sky, it cools down and becomes clouds. After that, clouds travel through the sky and fall back to Earth as rain or snow. Then, water runs through rivers and the sea and finally comes back to the earth again in different forms like rainwater or snow. The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our Earth’s climate (气候). It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. On top of that, it takes water from rivers and the sea and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water. Without the cycle, we would face many problems. When there is too much water in one place, it becomes a flood (洪水). When water is badly in need, it becomes a drought (旱灾). Besides, water vapour can take heat from the sun and keep our planet cool. The water cycle is a natural process that keeps our planet alive. It’s important for plants and animals to drink water and for our rivers to stay moving with water. Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature, know how our planet works and develop better methods to protect our Earth. And that is our duty. 根据语篇内容,选择最佳选项。 36.Which season might have the most active water cycle in China? A.Spring. B.Winter. C.Autumn. 37.Which is the right order of the water cycle according to Paragraph 2? ① Water comes back to the ground. ② Rain or snow falls down. ③ Water vapour rises up. ④ Clouds are formed in the sky. A.③④②① B.②③①④ C.④③②① 38.Why is the water cycle important? A.Because it cleans the air and the ground. B.Because it shows the beauty of nature. C.Because it makes the climate pleasant. 39.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A.Earth’s climate. B.The water cycle. C.Water vapour. 40.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A.To call on people to understand water cycle. B.To ask people to water all kinds of plants. C.To give people ways to get close to nature.

It allows you to find out the maximum (最大的) number of possible folds based on paper thickness, paper length, and direction of folding. Since Britney’s success, many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times. Students even folded a piece of toilet paper a total of thirteen times. The toilet paper they used was about 4,000 meters long! 11．How thick is the notebook mentioned in the second paragraph? A．0.07 centimeters. B．0.64 centimeters. C．1.28 centimeters. 12．Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 2. A．The first few folds are easy. B．It’s folded in the same direction. C．It’s too thick to fold it. 13．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． 14．What can we learn from Britney Gallivan? A．Man doesn’t have a greater enemy than himself. B．Things that seem impossible may be achievable. C．Knowledge is the most valuable of all things. 15．Which of the following can be the best title? A．A Rule of Paper-Folding. B．A Paper-Folding Record. C．The Paper-Folding Myth. 【答案】11．C 12．A 13．C 14．B 15．C 【导语】本文介绍并否定了一个荒诞的说法——一张纸不能折叠七次以上。 11．推理判断题。根据“If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick, it’ll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds.”可知，一张0.01厘米厚的纸折叠七次，即1+2+4+8+16+32+64=127，最接近的是C。故选C。 12．词句猜测题。根据“But when you make the fifth and sixth folds, you’ll notice that it’s increasingly hard to fold the paper. ”但当你进行第五次和第六次折叠时，你会注意到折叠纸张越来越困难，后面语义转折，可知对应的句子应该说明前几次折叠是容易的。故选A。 13． 篇章结构题。第一段总述了“一张纸不能折叠七次以上”是一种荒诞的说法；第二段介绍了这种说法的合理性；第三段和第四段用事实反驳了这种说法。故选C。 14．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，Britney Gallivan用事实证明了“一张纸不能折叠七次以上”的说法是错误的，由此可证，看似不可能的事可能是可以实现的，与B项表述相符。故选B。 15． 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍并否定了有关折纸的一个荒诞说法，C项“折纸的荒诞说法”符合文意，最适合当作文章标题。故选C。 4 Most people follow others blindly. Some people feel it safe to follow other people. In some rare cases it might be right, but in most cases this can make a big mistake. Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they are following the wrong group. Actually there are reasons why we shouldn’t follow others blindly. According to a study, people always follow others when they aren’t sure about the direction they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what’s right and what’s wrong! This attracts more people to follow them and the result is that most people move in a certain direction even if it is wrong. A man who wants to be successful always hopes for guidance from others and he usually follows the same path of most people, but the question this man never asks himself is, “Are all of those people successful?” Of course not! If you want to follow a group, then follow a successful one. However, in real life you’ll only find one successful person among hundreds of people, and that’s why following others makes no sense at all. Most people act without thinking wisely. If you always follow others because they’re greater than you, then sooner or later you’ll discover that you’re making decisions you might regret later. However, should we never follow others? No. But just think wisely before you make a decision. If you find others are right, there is no problem in following them, but if you doubt the direction they’re moving in, don’t follow them blindly. 16．What’s the percent of people who will succeed if they are following the wrong group? A．95% B．5% C．10% 17．What does the underlined word “guidance “ in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A．suggestions B．money C．care 18．Why do most people like to follow others blindly according to the passage ? A．Because they don’t want to be different. B．Because they are affected by the people around them. C．Because they’re sure to take the right direction. 19．What’s the best structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． 20．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Advantages of following others. B．Examples of following others. C．Reasons for not following others blindly. 【答案】16．B 17．A 18．B 19．B 20．C 【导语】本文一篇议论文，作者论述了盲目跟从他人可能是一个大错误。百分之九十五的人不会成功，因为他们跟错了队。但是，这并不是意味着不能跟随他人，正确的做法是，在确定是否跟随他人之前必须三思而后行。 16．细节理解题。根据“Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they are following the wrong group.”可知，跟随错误的群体的话，百分之九十五的人永远不会成功，也就是百分之五的人会成功，故选B。 17．词义猜测题。根据“A man who wants to be successful always hopes for guidance from others and he usually follows the same path of most people”可知，想成功的人想要得到别人的指导，也就是建议，故选A。 18．推理判断题。根据“According to a study, people always follow others when they aren’t sure about the direction they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what’s right and what’s wrong!”和“A man who wants to be successful always hopes for guidance from others and he usually follows the same path of most people”可知，盲目跟随别人是因为大多数人都是这样的，也就是说受周围环境的影响，故选B。 19．篇章结构题。通读整篇短文可知，第一段是总体概述人们为什么喜欢跟从别人；2，3，4段分别阐述了不要跟随他人的原因及缺点；最后一段总述在跟随别人之前要三思而后行。故文章为总——分——总结构，故选B。 20．主旨大意题。根据“ Actually there are reasons why we shouldn’t follow the crowd blindly.”以及全文的理解可知，本文主要阐述了不要盲目跟随他人的原因。故选C。 5 ① Fifteen-year-old Cathy posted a birthday party invitation and her address online. When her parents got back home that evening, they couldn’t believe their eyes! There were 500 people at the party, and some of them were breaking windows and plants, making a total mess of the house. ②Most teens think that things like this could never happen to them. A study shows that last year alone, more than three million young people worldwide got into trouble because of their online activities. ★ ? ③RULE 1: Share with care Not everyone will like what you write online. Think before you post something. You can never completely control who sees your texts, pictures, or videos. Before posting, you should ask yourself two questions, “How will I feel if my family or teachers see this?” and “How might this post be bad for me in three, five or ten years from now?” ④RULE 2: Be polite when you write Imagine someone is unfriendly in real life. You don’t like it, right? Well, the same is true of online communication. No one likes it when you “shout” in your messages. DON’T USE ALL CAPITALS! ! ! If you feel angry while writing a message, wait a bit. Read it again later and then send it. ⑤RULE 3: Protect and respect Don’t share your personal information with anyone. Don’t post your home or email address online. Be careful about “cyberbullying”—don’t forward rumours (谣言) or say anything bad about other people. If you get messages like that or see them online, talk to an adult you know. 21．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．Why could this happen B．Where should we start C．How can we be safer online 22．According to the writer, which of the following online posts is suggested?

A．Think Before You Act Online B．Online VS Offline World C．Internet Connects You and Me 【答案】21．C 22．C 23．A 24．B 25．A 【导语】本文讲述了在社交网络上随心所欲的发表言论可能带来的严重后果，并给出了三条关于正确合理发表言论的规则建议。 21．推理判断题。根据“③RULE 1: Share with care ④RULE 2: Be polite when you write ⑤RULE 3: Protect and respect”可知，画线处提出的问题应该与上网规则有关，选项C“我们如何才能在网上更安全？”符合语境。故选C。 22．细节理解题。根据“DON’T USE ALL CAPITALS! ! ! ”可知，不要所有的都使用大写字母，故选项A错误；根据“Before posting, you should ask yourself two questions, ‘How will I feel if my family or teachers see this?’and ‘How might this post be bad for me in three, five or ten years from now?’”可知，在社交网络发表内容时要考虑父母或老师看到后自己会有什么感觉，故选项B错误。故选C。 23．词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子“Be careful about ‘cyberbullying’—don’t forward rumours (谣言) or say anything bad about other people”可知，不要在网上发布谣言或说他人的坏话。故cyberbullying意为“网络欺凌”，与选项A意思相近。故选A。 24．篇章结构题。通读全文，第一段给出例子讲述了凯西因为社交媒体导致的家庭混乱的状况；第二段讲述了青少年认为网络是可控的但是实际情况并非如此；第三段至第五段并给出了三条关于正确合理发表言论的规则建议。故选B。 25．标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了在社交网络上随心所欲的发表言论可能带来的严重后果，并给出了三条关于正确合理发表言论的规则建议。故选A。 6 You might imagine that the scariest sound in the African savanna (大草原) is the loud sound of a lion. However, a new study has found that wild mammals (哺乳动物) actually fear the sound of human voices more than any noise made by a big cat. The research was done by scientists in the Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, which is home to around 1,600 lions. The team set up speakers and cameras near 21 watering holes around he park between June and August. The park becomes very dry at that time of year, and this drives animals to head for the watering holes because most other rivers of fresh water have dried up. This makes watering holes popular hunting places for both lions and poachers (偷猎者). The researchers played different sounds including lions roaring, and humans speaking calmly in local languages. The animals at the watering holes mainly include elephants, giraffes, and rhinos (犀牛). The study found that animals were twice as likely to run away from a human voice as a lion sound. Animals also gave up the watering holes 40% faster when they heard human voices. The results suggest that animals living in the park have learned that being close to humans can be dangerous because they might be poachers. This could be a problem for national parks and areas that make money from tourists coming to watch the animals, because tourists might scare the animals away. However, the finding might be very useful for wildlife protection. Endangered animals, such as the southern white rhinos, could be protected by using recorded human voices—the sounds could keep them away from areas popular with poachers. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 26．What is written at the beginning of the text? A．The finding of a new study. B．The problem of wild animals. C．The influence of human voice 27．What does the underlined word “this” refer to? A．The dry weather. B．The river. C．The loud sound. 28．Why did the researchers play different sounds in the park? A．To attract the poachers. B．To make animals relax. C．To test animals’ reactions. 29．What can the results of the study be used for in the future? A．Leading the animals to the clean water holes. B．Keeping the endangered animals away from hunters. C．Warning the poachers not to hurt the animals. 30．What is the best title of the text? A．Scary Sound, Scary Ground! B．Rhinos, Friends or Enemies? C．Human Voices, Good or Bad? 【答案】26．A 27．A 28．C 29．B 30．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，与大型猫科动物发出的任何声音相比，野生哺乳动物实际上更害怕人类的声音，这一发现可能对野生动物保护非常有用。 26．细节理解题。根据“However, a new study has found that wild mammals (哺乳动物) actually fear the sound of human voices more than any noise made by a big cat.”可知，文章开头提到了一个新的研究结果。故选A。 27．词义猜测题。根据“The park becomes very dry at that time of year, and this drives animals to head for the watering holes because most other rivers of fresh water have dried up.”可知，前文提到了在每年的这个时候，公园变得非常干燥，这促使动物们前往水坑，因此划线词指的是“干燥的天气”。故选A。 28．细节理解题。根据测试结果“The study found that animals were twice as likely to run away from a human voice as a lion sound. Animals also gave up the watering holes 40% faster when they heard human voices.”可知，研究人员播放了不同的声音是为了测试动物们对声音的反应。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据“However, the finding might be very useful for wildlife protection…could be protected by using recorded human voices—the sounds could keep them away from areas popular with poachers.”可知，研究结果可以用来保护濒危动物远离偷猎者。故选B。 30．最佳标题题。通读全文，尤其根据“However, a new study has found that wild mammals (哺乳动物) actually fear the sound of human voices more than any noise made by a big cat.”以及“Endangered animals…the sounds could keep them away from areas popular with poachers.”可知，本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，与大型猫科动物发出的任何声音相比，野生哺乳动物实际上更害怕人类的声音，这一发现可能对野生动物保护非常有用。选项C“人类的声音，好还是坏？”适合作为文章标题。故选C。 7 Anyone can perform the movements and forms of the ancient Chinese art of Tai Chi. Each of the forms, also called “steps”, looks like the movements of different animals. Practicing these Tai Chi steps may help improve a person’s posture (姿态) and health. Tai Chi comes from martial arts and Taoism (道教) in China. Tai Chi steps focus on the balance of yin and yang. A perfect balance of yin and yang helps qi to flow throughout the whole body. People can perform the movements of Tai Chi steps for different reasons. People in deep thought may also find inner peace through Tai Chi. There are many possible benefits of Tai Chi, including reducing worries, lowering blood pressure, improving posture and balance, and helping reduce pain. There are different forms or steps in Tai Chi, and many of their names describe the movements of animals, such as “Grasp the Bird's Tails” and “Snake Creeps Through the Grass”. Each movement should flow into the next one, and people should try to perform the set of Tai Chi steps again and again. People who wish to perform Tai Chi well should prefer basic movements first, like hand movements and skills, standing postures, leg skills and body forms. A Tai Chi coach should teach these basic TaiChi steps before leading the group into more difficult forms. A person performing these Tai Chi steps should follow a few basic rules of the ancient art. The difficult set of movements requires strong attention. In order to achieve perfect balance, the person should try to keep the perfect skill without shaking. 31．The key to Tai Chi is ________. A．balance B．movement C．practice 32．Who can most probably get great benefits from practicing Tai Chi? A．Those who want to calm down. B．Those who have enough patience.

A perfect balance of yin and yang helps qi to flow throughout the whole body.”可知，太极拳注重阴阳平衡，阴阳的完美平衡有助于气在全身流动。所以平衡是关键。故选A。 32．推理判断题。根据第三段“People in deep thought may also find inner peace through Tai Chi. There are many possible benefits of Tai Chi, including reducing worries...”可知，沉思中的人可以通过太极拳找到内心的平静，所以想要内心平静的人最适合练太极拳。故选A。 33．推理判断题。根据“Snake Creeps Through the Grass”可知，snake creep“蛇爬行”和grass“草地”是解题的关键，图片中动作像蛇在草地爬行的只有B。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据第五段“People who wish to perform Tai Chi well should prefer basic movements first...”可知，想要打好太极拳的人首先应该完善基本动作。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了太极拳的起源、一些招式和注意事项等基本知识内容；选项D对以上内容的概括性最强。故选C。 8 Water is important for all living things on Earth. The water cycle (循环) is a natural process (过程) that takes water from the ground and the sky and brings it back to the earth again. It is a cycle that happens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China. The water cycle always begins with water vapour (蒸汽). When it’s hot outside, you can see clouds forming in the sky. These clouds are made of water vapour that comes from the ground, plants and rivers. As water vapour rises into the sky, it cools down and becomes clouds. After that, clouds travel through the sky and fall back to Earth as rain or snow. Then, water runs through rivers and the sea and finally comes back to the earth again in different forms like rainwater or snow. The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our Earth’s climate (气候). It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. On top of that, it takes water from rivers and the sea and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water. Without the cycle, we would face many problems. When there is too much water in one place, it becomes a flood (洪水). When water is badly in need, it becomes a drought (旱灾). Besides, water vapour can take heat from the sun and keep our planet cool. The water cycle is a natural process that keeps our planet alive. It’s important for plants and animals to drink water and for our rivers to stay moving with water. Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature, know how our planet works and develop better methods to protect our Earth. And that is our duty. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 36．Which season might have the most active water cycle in China? A．Spring. B．Winter. C．Autumn. 37．Which is the right order of the water cycle according to Paragraph 2? ① Water comes back to the ground.      ② Rain or snow falls down. ③ Water vapour rises up.          ④ Clouds are formed in the sky. A．③④②① B．②③①④ C．④③②① 38．Why is the water cycle important? A．Because it cleans the air and the ground. B．Because it shows the beauty of nature. C．Because it makes the climate pleasant. 39．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A．Earth’s climate. B．The water cycle. C．Water vapour. 40．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A．To call on people to understand water cycle. B．To ask people to water all kinds of plants. C．To give people ways to get close to nature. 【答案】36．A 37．A 38．C 39．B 40．A 【导语】本文讲述了水循环对于地球上所有生物的重要性，包括其自然过程、对气候的保护作用以及对我们理解和保护地球环境的重要意义。 36．细节理解题。根据“It is a cycle that happens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China.”可知，水循环在中国最活跃的是3月到6月，即春天。故选A。 37．细节理解题。根据“The water cycle always begins with water vapour (蒸汽).”可知，水循环总是从水蒸气开始，③应排第一。故选A。 38．细节理解题。根据“The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our Earth’s climate (气候).”可知，水循环在保护地球气候方面起着重要作用。由此可知水循环重要是因为它能使得气候宜人。故选C。 39．词义猜测题。根据“The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our Earth’s climate (气候). It provides us ...it takes water from rivers and the sea and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water.”可知，此处“it”指代上文的“The water cycle”，表示“水循环从河流和海洋中吸取水，并将其带到缺水的地区”。故选B。 40．推理判断题。根据“Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature, know how our planet works and develop better methods to protect our Earth.”可知，理解水循环有很多好处，由此推测作者写最后一段是为了呼吁人们了解水循环。故选A。 ( 1 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
