First of all, let’s talk about the Internet. There’re several ways you can use it to improve your English, because you can read, listen and write.I’m sure that before long, speak.Firstly, writing practice is excellent for your learning. On the Internet there’re two places where you can write—message boards and live chat rooms. Live chat rooms are great for improving your fluency, because you have to write quickly. People don’t want to wait too long to hear your response. A message board is good for both fluency and accuracy because you can think and prepare before you write.Also, the Internet is a good place to practice your listening. The Internet may be better than the radio as you can listen again and again. You should visit a good news site, such as the BBC. BBC radio is an incredible resource. The ability to listen repeatedly, and to pause, allows you to put into practice the advice I give in the reading and listening skills section. In order to improve your listening, you have to be an active listener: make notes, try to write down the main points, try to write down new vocabulary. Finally, visit the website for the textbook. There’re extra practice exercises and reading materials. It also offers learners special message boards. OK. That’s all for today. Thank you for listening. 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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 A If you’re a teen artist this is the perfect challenge for you.

As I drag my body toward the kitchen, I’m greeted by my mother standing over the stove. She effortlessly cooks a dish that blends Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother’s recipe, which reflected her upbringing. Since my grandmother’s passing, I’ve become more aware of my mother’s aging and her dedication (奉献) to cooking for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries — Korea, Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months. My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my partner and our kids. In alternating years, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my sister and her partner. According to Statista, most Canadians claim to spend between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their household. Ten percent of respondents to the 2022 survey stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent. Her cooking extends beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce (农产品) and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account. The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. Helping her out in the kitchen demands a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it’s her way of expressing love. As I chop the vegetables, she glances over and notices that my carrots are not equally sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.” 24. What do we know about the author’s mother from the text? A. She has three daughters. B. She has great cooking skills. C. She lives with the author in Korea. D. She invented the author’s beloved breakfast classic. 25. What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning statistics about meal preparation time? A. To show her mother’s devotion. B. To present a common issue. C. To explain the reasons behind infrequent cooking. D. To highlight the significance of home-cooked meals. 26. Why does the author say helping her mother in the kitchen requires patience? A. Her mother is easily annoyed. B. Her mother wants to teach her everything. C. Her mother dislikes being disturbed. D. Her mother expects perfection in cooking. 27. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Mother’s Love Needs to Be Responded to B. Mother’s Recipe Is the Best in the World C. Mother’s Kitchen Draws Us Closer Together D. Mother’s Selflessness Inspires My Family 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文一篇记叙文，讲述了厨艺精湛的母亲奔波异地为家人做饭的故事，让人感受到炙热的母爱亲情。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my partner and our kids.(我妈妈在家里帮忙，展示她的烹饪技巧，为我、我的伴侣和我们的孩子们提供美味的饭菜)”可知，作者的母亲为他们提供了美味的饭菜，故可推知作者的母亲厨艺很好，故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“According to Statista, most Canadians claim to spend between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their household. Ten percent of respondents to the 2022 survey stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent.(根据Statista的数据，大多数加拿大人报告说，工作日在家里为自己和他人准备晚餐的时间平均在31到60分钟之间。10%的受访者表示，他们花了一个多小时准备晚餐。我妈妈属于那10%。)”可知，作者引用数据是为了说明母亲每天要花一个多小时来准备晚餐，突出了母亲的奉献和爱，故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数倒数第三段“Her cooking extends beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account.(她的厨艺不仅限于厨房，她还会去杂货店仔细购物，在那里她会检查农产品，找到最划算的东西。她会考虑每个人的喜好和需求)”及倒数第二段“As I chop the vegetables, she glances over and notices that my carrots are not equally sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. (当我切蔬菜时，她注意到我的胡萝卜大小不均匀。她把我推到一边接任务)”可知，母亲做饭时要求完美，所以给她打下手需要耐心，故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. (她做的饭变成了一种仪式，让家人聚在一起，建立联系并分享自己的事情)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲的是母亲通过给作者一家做饭拉近了一家人的距离，所以C项“Mother's Kitchen Draws Us Closer Together(母亲的厨房拉近了我们的距离)”符合本文的标题，故选C。 C By the time she was 85 years old, Joy Ryan had never seen the ocean or mountains. Now, she’s 94 years old and has seen every comer of the US after visiting all 63 US national parks. Joy went on the epic journey with her grandson, Brad Ryan, who was first inspired to travel with his grandmother in 2015. “When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America-deserts, mountains, oceans, you name it, I thought that was something that I would regret if I didn’t get myself involved in some way,” Brad said. Although they initially planned just to visit the Great Smoky Mountains, they had such a great time that they felt inspired to continue their journey by hitting up all the national parks in the US. “I think we’re two peas in a pod when it comes to our desire for travel and adventure,” Brad said. The 63rd and final stop on their tour was the National Park of American Samoa. There was a reason why they left this park until the very end. “It’s the only US national park that’s south of the equator. We can enjoy the beautiful tropical paradise,” Brad said, “But as we’ve come to learn from the rangers who work there. American Samoa is an island community that is firmly rooted in family.” The fact that a grandmother in her 90s completed such a long journey may inspire others, but Brad has always known his grandmother as an inspiration who lives up to her name. “She has already lived from a place of gratitude and joy,” he said. “That’s a power… and a choice that we all have. And I think that’s been my greatest lesson.” 28. What do we know about Joy Ryan? A. She regretted not visiting the ocean. B. She was financially challenged. C. She prefers tropical landscapes. D. She embarked on her journey in 2015. 29. What inspired Brad and Joy Ryan to visit all of the US national parks? A. Their ambition to set a world record. B. Their fear of having regrets in life. C. Their shared passion for adventure. D. Their fascination with urban scenery. 30. American Samoa was chosen as their final destination because of its . A. distinctive location B. natural resources C. breathtaking coastline D. close-knit community 31. What quality did Brad learn from his grandmother? A. Her determination. B. Her patience. C. Her endurance. D. Her optimism. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Brad Ryan和85岁的祖母Joy Ryan一起旅行，走遍了美国所有的国家公园的故事。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Joy went on the epic journey with her grandson, Brad Ryan, who was first inspired to travel with his grandmother in 2015.( Joy和她的孙子Brad Ryan一起踏上了这段史诗般的旅程，Brad Ryan于2015年首次受到启发，与祖母一起旅行。)”可知，Joy Ryan在2015年开始了她的旅程。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中Brad所说“I think we’re two peas in a pod when it comes to our desire for travel and adventure.(我认为我们对旅行和冒险的渴望是一模一样的。)”可知，是他们对冒险的共同热情激发了他们参观所有的美国国家公园。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The 63rd and final stop on their tour was the National Park of American Samoa. (他们此行的第63站也是最后一站是美属萨摩亚国家公园。)”和“It’s the only US national park that’s south of the equator. We can enjoy the beautiful tropical paradise. (这是美国唯一一个位于赤道以南的国家公园。我们可以享受美丽的热带天堂。)”可知，美属萨摩亚之所以被选为他们的最后目的地，是因为它独特的地理位置。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The fact that a grandmother in her 90s completed such a long journey may inspire others, but Brad has always known his grandmother as an inspiration who lives up to her name. ‘She has already lived from a place of gratitude and joy,’ he said. ‘That’s a power… and a choice that we all have. And I think that’s been my greatest lesson.’(一位90多岁的祖母完成了如此漫长的旅程，这一事实可能会鼓舞其他人，但Brad一直认为他的祖母是一位名副其实的鼓舞人心的人。他说，‘她已经生活在一个充满感激和喜悦的地方。这是一种力量……也是我们所有人的选择。我认为这是我最大的教训。’)”可知，Brad从祖母那里学到了乐观的品质。故选D项。 D Like dogs, wolves can recognize and respond to the voices of familiar humans more than those of strangers, according to a recent study. The research challenges the belief that dogs ability to differentiate human voices is due to selective breeding (选择性繁殖). Holly Root Gutteridge and colleagues carried out experiments across five zoos and wildlife parks in Spain, involving a total of 24 gray wolves. The team set up speakers and first played the animals the voice of a number of strangers. Then, they played the wolves the voice of their keeper who would say familiar things to them in Spanish, such as “Hey, what’s up, wolves?” The wolves raised their heads, pricked their ears up, and turned toward the speaker. To test that the effect wasn’t accidental, the researchers went back to playing the wolves recordings of strangers and found that they once more lost interest. Finally, to make sure that the wolves truly knew their keepers’ voices, the team mixed things up and had the keepers say a series of unfamiliar phrases. Once more, the results held up. Root Gutteridge pointed out the significance of wolves being able to differentiate between humans, despite the fact that our species went our separate evolutionary (进化的) ways tens of millions of years ago. Before this, there had been a limited number of studies on the topic of how animals differentiate between the vocalizations (发声) of other species. Research has shown that our close cousins, gorillas, listen to people, but that was expected. Given the new finding, “chances are that lots of species are listening to us and getting to know us as individuals,” Root Gutteridge said. “And it’s not all about us. Dogs could be listening to the neighbors’ cats and understanding the difference between one meow or the other. If the abilities are that general, it means that animals might be having a lot more cross- species interactions than we had thought about before.” 32. What established viewpoint does the recent research call into question? A. Dogs are the only animals that can differentiate human voices. B. Wolves recognize the voices of humans better than dogs. C. Wolves cannot understand human languages. D. Selective breeding enables dogs to differentiate human voices. 33. How did the researchers test if the wolves truly recognized their keepers’ voices? A. By letting the keepers say unfamiliar phrases in Spanish. B. By asking strangers to reproduce the keepers’ voices. C. By playing recordings of strangers speaking familiar phrases. D. By changing the playback speed of the keepers’ recordings. 34. Why are gorillas mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To stress their close relationship with humans. B. To offer additional evidence for the recent study. C. To point out another species that can differentiate voices. D. To explain how animals’ ability to differentiate humans’ voices developed. 35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The focus of the future studies. B. The limitations of the research. C. The significance of the research. D. The uniqueness of the experiments. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是最近的一项研究表明，与狗一样，狼对熟悉的人的声音比陌生人的声音更能识别并做出反应。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The research challenges the belief that dogs ability to differentiate human voices is due to selective breeding (选择性繁殖).(这项研究挑战了狗能够区分人类声音的能力是由于选择性繁殖的观点。)”可知，最近的研究质疑了狗狗能够辨别人类声音是选择性繁殖的结果这一观点，故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段描述的实验过程尤其是最后一句“Finally, to make sure that the wolves truly knew their keepers’ voices, the team mixed things up and had the keepers say a series of unfamiliar phrases.(最后，为了确保狼真的能听懂饲养员的声音，研究小组把东西搞混了，让饲养员说一系列不熟悉的短语。)”可知，为证明狼真的能听出饲养员的声音，研究人员让饲养员用西班牙语说狼不熟悉的词语，故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Before this, there had been a limited number of studies on the topic of how animals differentiate between the vocalizations (发声) of other species. Research has shown that our close cousins, gorillas, listen to people, but that was expected.(在此之前，关于动物如何区分其他物种的发声的研究数量有限。研究表明，我们的近亲大猩猩会听人说话，但这是意料之中的。)”可知，后面提到大猩猩会听人说话的例子，是为了列举除了狼之外另一个具有这种能力的物种，故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Given the new finding, “chances are that lots of species are listening to us and getting to know us as individuals,” Root Gutteridge said. “And it’s not all about us. Dogs could be listening to the neighbors’ cats and understanding the difference between one meow or the other. If the abilities are that general, it means that animals might be having a lot more cross- species interactions than we had thought about before.”(考虑到这项新发现，“很有可能有很多物种正在倾听我们的声音，并开始了解我们作为个体的存在，”Root Gutteridge说。“这并不全是我们的事。狗可以听邻居的猫叫，并理解猫叫之间的区别。如果这种能力如此普遍，这意味着动物可能比我们以前想象的有更多的跨物种相互作用。”)”可知，最后一段是Root Gutteridge对这一研究发现的评论，指出这项研究让人们对动物的了解更进了一步，因此最后一段主要讲的是研究的意义。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Homeless animals are usually left without a permanent home when their owners give them up or they’re found on the street.

(每年有数百万只动物生活在收容所里，没有足够的人收留它们。)”可知，空前主要介绍了很多动物没有人照顾，故B项“所以，许多动物得不到它们所需要的爱和照顾。”符合，和前文构成因果关系，很多动物在收容所里，因此得不到所需要的爱和照顾，故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据空后“but you’ve made room at the shelter for another homeless cat or dog.”but you've made room at the shelter for another homeless cat or dog.(而且你在收容所为另一只无家可归的猫或狗腾出了空间。)可知，空后是E项“你不仅能为救你收养的宠物而感到高兴”的顺义承接，not only…but “不仅……而且……”搭配，不仅能为就你收养的宠物而高兴，而且还为另一只无家可归的猫或狗腾出了空间，故选E项。 【38题详解】 根据空后“Whether you like rolling up your sleeves and cleaning cages, socializing with a few of your kitten friends or working with numbers, your skills and interests can make a huge impact on the lives of homeless pets in your community. (无论你是喜欢卷起袖子打扫笼子，还是喜欢与一些小猫朋友社交，还是喜欢数字工作，你的技能和兴趣都会对你所在社区无家可归宠物的生活产生巨大影响。)”可知，本段主要介绍当志愿者帮助动物，故A项“与动物一起做志愿者”符合，不管你的技能和爱好是什么，都会对你所在的社区的无家可归的宠物生物带来巨大的影响，因此和动物一起做志愿者吧，故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据空后“Shelters and rescue groups rely on foster (收养的) families to take in dogs and cats on a short-term basis. No matter what you like to do and what you’re good at, there’s a volunteer job for you. (收容所和救援组织依靠寄养家庭短期收留猫狗。无论你喜欢做什么，擅长什么，都有一份志愿者工作适合你。)”可知，这里主要介绍了寄养家庭，故D项“寄养是一种有趣的方式，可以获得大量有益的动手时间”符合，故选D项。 【40题详解】 根据空前的小标题“Donate to the animals(捐赠给动物)”可知，本段主要介绍向动物捐赠东西，故G项“每当你向社区里的避难所或救援组织捐赠东西时，你就是在帮助拯救生命”符合，故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 Luke Coelho recently transferred from Brazil to attend school in the United States.

I want to talk about the time I went to the US to meet my American pen pal Drew, but first I need to go back a little bit to explain things. I was a second-year junior high schooler when my English teacher, Ms. Gao, had us experiment with a pen pal program set up through our school. This was an amazing opportunity at the time since it meant we could use our English skills to communicate with other teenagers the same age as us around the world through email! Still, I was a bit shy and nervous since I knew my English was pretty poor; but at the same time, I was excited to make a new friend and was determined to improve with this new opportunity presented to me. Ms. Gao assigned me to write emails with a boy named Drew in the US. He was from a city called Cincinnati in Ohio. I knew a little about the biggest cities in the US— New York, Boston, San Francisco, Chicago— But Cincinnati? I had no idea where it was. Maybe it was somewhere near one of those cities? As we continued to talk through email, I was surprised to find my English was slowly improving. I found my English going from stiff and formulaic (刻板的) to more natural and casual to match the way he wrote. I even picked up some slang (俚语) words along the way! We got to know each other’s hobbies and interests as well as our dreams and hopes for the future. Drew seemed so nice, and I found myself wanting to visit him someday and see what Cincinnati had to offer. He, too, wanted to visit Beijing and try out the local food I had told him so much about. We continued our email conversations even after the program ended. Drew told me how long his summer break was going to be and said he’d show me around if I were to ever visit. To my surprise, that opportunity would come sooner than I thought. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已写好； As it turned out, my parents were planning a surprise vacation to the US. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Entering the baggage claim area (行李领取处), I finally came face-to-face with Drew. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: As it turned out, my parents were planning a surprise vacation to the US. They had certain cities in mind, but were open to suggestions. When I mentioned Cincinnati, they just looked at each other in confusion. But when I gave more explanation about the most recent conversation between Drew and I, things made more sense to them. Being the more adventurous type, my dad was a fan of the idea, but my mom was worried that she wouldn’t like the local food. When it came closer to the day of our flight, I saw her packing some food and tea in her luggage just in case. So, after a long flight, we finally touched down at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport. Paragraph 2: Entering the baggage claim area (行李领取处), I finally came face-to-face with Drew. He was a handsome young boy with freckles, reddish hair and the biggest smile I’d ever seen. His parents were standing with him, so we exchanged gifts, hugs and handshakes before making a tour of the town. We saw steamboats on the river, ate spaghetti topped with chili at the famous Skyline restaurant, and we even managed to watch a game of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team! We had a fantastic time together, even though it seemed to go by in an instant. Evennow, I’m waiting for the day when Drew and his family can make their own trip to Beijing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者去美国见美国笔友德鲁，讲述了两人是如何取得联系的，以及作者在与父母一起去旅行时和德鲁见了面，双方都很激动。事后作者回忆，也感到十分美好，期待再次见面。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“事实证明，我的父母正在计划一次去美国的意外之旅”可知，第一段可描写作者规划旅程的经过以及父母为旅行所做的准备。 ②由第二段首句内容“进入行李提取区，我终于和德鲁面对面了”可知，第二段可描写作者和笔友见面的场景以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：计划旅行——提出建议——准备旅行——见到笔友——激动拥抱——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提及：mention/refer to ②看到：see/spot ③降落：touch down/land 情绪类 ①困惑：confusion/ bewilderment ②英俊：handsome /good-looking 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I mentioned Cincinnati, they just looked at each other in confusion.

As I drag my body toward the kitchen, I’m greeted by my mother standing over the stove. She effortlessly cooks a dish that blends Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother’s recipe, which reflected her upbringing. Since my grandmother’s passing, I’ve become more aware of my mother’s aging and her dedication (奉献) to cooking for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries — Korea, Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months. My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my partner and our kids. In alternating years, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my sister and her partner. According to Statista, most Canadians claim to spend between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their household. Ten percent of respondents to the 2022 survey stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent. Her cooking extends beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce (农产品) and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account. The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. Helping her out in the kitchen demands a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it’s her way of expressing love. As I chop the vegetables, she glances over and notices that my carrots are not equally sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.” 24. What do we know about the author’s mother from the text? A. She has three daughters. B. She has great cooking skills. C. She lives with the author in Korea. D. She invented the author’s beloved breakfast classic. 25. What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning statistics about meal preparation time? A. To show her mother’s devotion. B. To present a common issue. C. To explain the reasons behind infrequent cooking. D. To highlight the significance of home-cooked meals. 26. Why does the author say helping her mother in the kitchen requires patience? A. Her mother is easily annoyed. B. Her mother wants to teach her everything. C Her mother dislikes being disturbed. D. Her mother expects perfection in cooking. 27. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Mother’s Love Needs to Be Responded to B. Mother’s Recipe Is the Best in the World C. Mother’s Kitchen Draws Us Closer Together D. Mother’s Selflessness Inspires My Family C By the time she was 85 years old, Joy Ryan had never seen the ocean or mountains. Now, she’s 94 years old and has seen every comer of the US after visiting all 63 US national parks. Joy went on the epic journey with her grandson, Brad Ryan, who was first inspired to travel with his grandmother in 2015. “When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America-deserts, mountains, oceans, you name it, I thought that was something that I would regret if I didn’t get myself involved in some way,” Brad said. Although they initially planned just to visit the Great Smoky Mountains, they had such a great time that they felt inspired to continue their journey by hitting up all the national parks in the US. “I think we’re two peas in a pod when it comes to our desire for travel and adventure,” Brad said. The 63rd and final stop on their tour was the National Park of American Samoa. There was a reason why they left this park until the very end. “It’s the only US national park that’s south of the equator. We can enjoy the beautiful tropical paradise,” Brad said, “But as we’ve come to learn from the rangers who work there. American Samoa is an island community that is firmly rooted in family.” The fact that a grandmother in her 90s completed such a long journey may inspire others, but Brad has always known his grandmother as an inspiration who lives up to her name. “She has already lived from a place of gratitude and joy,” he said. “That’s a power… and a choice that we all have. And I think that’s been my greatest lesson.” 28. What do we know about Joy Ryan? A. She regretted not visiting the ocean. B. She was financially challenged. C. She prefers tropical landscapes. D. She embarked on her journey in 2015. 29. What inspired Brad and Joy Ryan to visit all of the US national parks? A Their ambition to set a world record. B. Their fear of having regrets in life. C. Their shared passion for adventure. D. Their fascination with urban scenery. 30. American Samoa was chosen as their final destination because of its . A. distinctive location B. natural resources C. breathtaking coastline D. close-knit community 31. What quality did Brad learn from his grandmother? A. Her determination. B. Her patience. C. Her endurance. D. Her optimism. D Like dogs, wolves can recognize and respond to the voices of familiar humans more than those of strangers, according to a recent study. The research challenges the belief that dogs ability to differentiate human voices is due to selective breeding (选择性繁殖). Holly Root Gutteridge and colleagues carried out experiments across five zoos and wildlife parks in Spain, involving a total of 24 gray wolves. The team set up speakers and first played the animals the voice of a number of strangers. Then, they played the wolves the voice of their keeper who would say familiar things to them in Spanish, such as “Hey, what’s up, wolves?” The wolves raised their heads, pricked their ears up, and turned toward the speaker. To test that the effect wasn’t accidental, the researchers went back to playing the wolves recordings of strangers and found that they once more lost interest. Finally, to make sure that the wolves truly knew their keepers’ voices, the team mixed things up and had the keepers say a series of unfamiliar phrases. Once more, the results held up. Root Gutteridge pointed out the significance of wolves being able to differentiate between humans, despite the fact that our species went our separate evolutionary (进化的) ways tens of millions of years ago. Before this, there had been a limited number of studies on the topic of how animals differentiate between the vocalizations (发声) of other species. Research has shown that our close cousins, gorillas, listen to people, but that was expected. Given the new finding, “chances are that lots of species are listening to us and getting to know us as individuals,” Root Gutteridge said. “And it’s not all about us. Dogs could be listening to the neighbors’ cats and understanding the difference between one meow or the other. If the abilities are that general, it means that animals might be having a lot more cross- species interactions than we had thought about before.” 32. What established viewpoint does the recent research call into question? A. Dogs are the only animals that can differentiate human voices. B. Wolves recognize the voices of humans better than dogs. C. Wolves cannot understand human languages. D. Selective breeding enables dogs to differentiate human voices. 33. How did the researchers test if the wolves truly recognized their keepers’ voices? A. By letting the keepers say unfamiliar phrases in Spanish. B. By asking strangers to reproduce the keepers’ voices. C. By playing recordings of strangers speaking familiar phrases. D. By changing the playback speed of the keepers’ recordings. 34 Why are gorillas mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To stress their close relationship with humans. B. To offer additional evidence for the recent study. C. To point out another species that can differentiate voices. D. To explain how animals’ ability to differentiate humans’ voices developed. 35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The focus of the future studies. B. The limitations of the research. C. The significance of the research. D. The uniqueness of the experiments. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Homeless animals are usually left without a permanent home when their owners give them up or they’re found on the street.

I want to talk about the time I went to the US to meet my American pen pal Drew, but first I need to go back a little bit to explain things. I was a second-year junior high schooler when my English teacher, Ms. Gao, had us experiment with a pen pal program set up through our school. This was an amazing opportunity at the time since it meant we could use our English skills to communicate with other teenagers the same age as us around the world through email! Still, I was a bit shy and nervous since I knew my English was pretty poor; but at the same time, I was excited to make a new friend and was determined to improve with this new opportunity presented to me. Ms. Gao assigned me to write emails with a boy named Drew in the US. He was from a city called Cincinnati in Ohio. I knew a little about the biggest cities in the US— New York, Boston, San Francisco, Chicago— But Cincinnati? I had no idea where it was. Maybe it was somewhere near one of those cities? As we continued to talk through email, I was surprised to find my English was slowly improving. I found my English going from stiff and formulaic (刻板的) to more natural and casual to match the way he wrote. I even picked up some slang (俚语) words along the way! We got to know each other’s hobbies and interests as well as our dreams and hopes for the future. Drew seemed so nice, and I found myself wanting to visit him someday and see what Cincinnati had to offer. He, too, wanted to visit Beijing and try out the local food I had told him so much about. We continued our email conversations even after the program ended. Drew told me how long his summer break was going to be and said he’d show me around if I were to ever visit. To my surprise, that opportunity would come sooner than I thought. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已写好； As it turned out, my parents were planning a surprise vacation to the US. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Entering the baggage claim area (行李领取处), I finally came face-to-face with Drew. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
