You’re becoming more independent and making decision s for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain. The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations. When you were a child, as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map. Now your brain’s job is to make that map more efficient. As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video-game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot. This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you’re good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them if you think they are useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future. 4. What happens as children learn new things? A. Their brains make the maps more efficient. B. The structures of their brains are like big road maps. C. Many different roads lead to the most important places. D. Their brains create more roads to different destinations. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Your brain. B. Something you see. C. Your skill. D. Something you learn. 6. What’s the writer’s advice for teenagers? A. Teenagers should experience more and stick to the useful activities. B. Teenagers should play more video games in order to be a pilot. C. Teenagers should work harder and more efficiently. D. Teenagers should learn to be more independent. 7. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. Ways of Changing Your Brain. B. Making Decisions for Yourself. C. Developing Your Brain for the Future. D. Changes Happening in Your Brain. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了青少年大脑如何发展和变化，以及青少年如何通过实践和尝试不同活动来塑造未来的大脑。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When you were a child, as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations.(当你还是个孩子的时候，当你学习新事物的时候，你的大脑创造了越来越多通往不同目的地的道路。)”可知，当孩子们学习新事物时，他们的大脑创造了更多通往不同目的地的道路。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient.(当你发展这些技能时，你的大脑会确保通往这些技能的路径特别快速和高效。)”可知，it在这里指的是你的大脑。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Go out and try different activities, and stick to them if you think they are useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.(走出去尝试不同的活动，如果你认为它们有用就坚持下去。记住，你做的每一件事都在为未来塑造你的大脑。)”可知，作者的建议是青少年应该多尝试不同的活动，并坚持那些有用的活动。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you’re good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them if you think they are useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.(这是你练习新技能、发现自己擅长的事情、尝试自己喜欢做的事情的好时机。出去尝试不同的活动，如果你认为它们有用，就坚持下去。记住，你所做的每一件事，都是在为未来塑造你的大脑。)”可知，文章主要讲述了青少年大脑如何发展和变化，以及青少年如何通过实践和尝试不同活动来塑造未来的大脑。因此，最适合的标题是C项：Developing Your Brain for the Future.(为未来开发你的大脑)。故选C。 C Recently, a research on how a new virtual reality (VR 虚拟的现实) experience educated children about the fire disasters was done. It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safe in a fire. It presents a situation for children aged 10-12. In the situation, They are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog. The findings showed that more than 80% of children reported that they felt more confident to tell the advantages and disadvantages of different choices. They also learnt to make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. Children thought it is especially important and meaningful, because 91% of them didn’t have any knowledge of fires at the beginning, and that 67% had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire. The researchers believed such VR experiences made it possible to attract and educate the young. “As children born in digital times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment.” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide a chance for children with surprisingly valuable learning tools.” Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. However, the ability for children to contribute to fire safety at their homes should not be underestimated (低估). “Children do not need to be always waiting for help in disasters and with those virtual reality experiences, we can help children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber. 8. What is the purpose of the new VR experience? A. To describe children’s reactions to fire disasters. B. To teach children to save themselves in a fire. C. To introduce ways of avoiding a fire to children. D. To increase children’s interest in VR experiences. 9. From the findings, what is the children’s attitude towards the new VR experience? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Uncertain. D. Supportive. 10. From paragraph 3, we mainly get to know the of the new VR experience? A. development. B. advantages. C. quality. D. introduction. 11. According to the passage, which of the following is True? A. Children make no differences in the fire safety at their homes. B. VR experiences are mainly designed for children in high school. C. Well designed VR can offer children amazingly valuable learning tools. D. 91% of children believed they were not old enough to make safety decisions. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。最近，一项关于一种新的虚拟现实体验如何教育儿童了解火灾的研究已经完成。文章对此进行了详细介绍。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safe in a fire.(它是由南澳大利亚大学开发的，旨在教育孩子们如何在火灾中保持安全。)”可知，新的VR体验的目的是教孩子们在火灾中自救。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Children thought it is especially important and meaningful, because 91% of them didn’t have any knowledge of fires at the beginning, and that 67% had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.(孩子们认为这是特别重要和有意义的，因为91%的孩子一开始对火灾一无所知，67%的孩子说他们太小，不能在火灾中做出安全决定。)”可知，从调查结果来看，孩子们对新的VR体验的态度是支持的。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“The researchers believed such VR experiences made it possible to attract and educate the young.(研究人员认为，这样的虚拟现实体验可以吸引和教育年轻人。)”，第四句和第五句“Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. However, the ability for children to contribute to fire safety at their homes should not be underestimated (低估).(与此同时，由于儿童的生活经验较少，身体不那么强壮，而且不太可能了解消防安全，他们往往是最危险的。然而，儿童为家庭消防安全做出贡献的能力不应被低估。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了这次新的VR体验对于儿童消防教育的优势和重要意义。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“Well-designed VR can provide a chance for children with surprisingly valuable learning tools.(精心设计的VR可以为孩子们提供一个非常有价值的学习工具。)”可知，精心设计的VR可以为孩子们提供非常有价值的学习工具，即C选项正确。故选C。 D Wildlife experts are asking Australians to drive carefully to avoid unnecessary roadkill as native animal numbers drop following years of natural disasters. Kristie Newton from WIRES said the recent floods across Eastern Queensland and New South Wales could lead to an increase in animal roadkill accidents with wildlife on the move. “This year it might be even worse because they’re traveling a bit further to find food,” Newton said. “Important food sources like grasses have become less and less, forcing many animals to move outside their habitat in search of food, and turn up in unusual places.” “The fires killed millions and millions of native animals, and now we’ve had the floods. So it’s important that we try and protect what animals we’ve got left.” the wildlife expert said. The 2019-20 bushfires in Australia have affected nearly three billion animals. According to AAMI Insurance, more than ten percent of all animal roadkill accidents happen in May. More than 15,500 AAMI animal collision claims last year showed that central Victoria’s Heathcote was the country’s most dangerous place for wild animals. Victoria was also the worst state for animal roadkill, with almost one third of animal accidents taking place on Victorian roads. New South Wales and Queensland followed closely behind. Newton said moving a dead animal off the road can be a good way to prevent unnecessary death. “Birds also come down and feed on those bodies, and we see a lot of them get hit when doing that.” She is also encouraging drivers to do the right thing if they hit an animal. “Please pull over where it is safe to check whether the animal is injured,” said Newton. “For your own safety never set close to an adult kangaroo, even if it’s injured.” 12. What is the main reason for the increase in animal roadkill accidents? A. People traveling more than before. B. Animals preferring to feed alongside roads. C. Cities becoming more attractive to animals. D. Animals having to move because of natural disasters. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What damage Australian bush fires have had. B. Natural disasters make it hard to protect wildlife. C. Why it is high time people protected Australian animals. D. Bush fire s are much more dangerous to animals than floods. 14. What information can we get from AAMI Insurance? A. Most roadkill accidents happened in 2019. B. Animals in New South Wales suffered most. C. Queensland took quick action to end roadkill. D. Heathcote saw most roadkill accidents in Australia. 15. What is the right thing for drivers to do in Newton’s opinion? A. Leave the dead animal alone. B. Stop and check on the hit animal. C. Drive off the birds on the roads. D. Touch an injured kangaroo to calm it. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了澳大利亚因自然灾害导致野生动物数量下降，从而呼吁驾驶者小心驾驶以避免不必要的路杀事件，并提供了相关数据和专家建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Kristie Newton from WIRES said the recent floods across Eastern Queensland and New South Wales could lead to an increase in animal roadkill accidents with wildlife on the move. “This year it might be even worse because they’re traveling a bit further to find food,” Newton said. “Important food sources like grasses have become less and less, forcing many animals to move outside their habitat in search of food, and turn up in unusual places.” (WIRES的Kristie Newton说，最近昆士兰州东部和新南威尔士州的洪水可能会导致野生动物在移动过程中被公路撞死的事故增加。Newton说：“今年的情况可能更糟，因为它们要走得更远一些才能找到食物。”“像草这样的重要食物来源变得越来越少，迫使许多动物离开栖息地寻找食物，并出现在不寻常的地方。”)”可知，动物因自然灾害而不得不迁移是动物路杀事故增加的主要原因。故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第三段““The fires killed millions and millions of native animals, and now we’ve had the floods. So it’s important that we try and protect what animals we’ve got left.” the wildlife expert said. The 2019-20 bushfires in Australia have affected nearly three billion animals. (“大火杀死了数以百万计的本土动物，现在又发生了洪水。所以，重要的是我们要努力保护我们仅存的动物。”这位野生动物专家说。2019- 2020年澳大利亚的森林大火影响了近30亿只动物)”可知，本段通过引用野生动物专家的话，说明了澳大利亚近年来遭受的自然灾害，如大火和洪水，对野生动物数量造成了巨大影响，强调了在这些灾难之后保护幸存动物的重要性。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“According to AAMI Insurance, more than ten percent of all animal roadkill accidents happen in May. More than 15,500 AAMI animal collision claims last year showed that central Victoria’s Heathcote was the country’s most dangerous place for wild animals. (根据AAMI保险公司的数据，超过10%的动物车祸发生在5月份。去年，超过15,500起AAMI动物碰撞索赔表明，维多利亚州中部的希思科特是该国野生动物最危险的地方)”可知，根据AAMI保险公司的数据，希思科特在澳大利亚发生的道路交通事故最多。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“She is also encouraging drivers to do the right thing if they hit an animal. “Please pull over where it is safe to check whether the animal is injured,” said Newton. (她还鼓励司机在撞到动物时做正确的事情。“请把车停在安全的地方，检查动物是否受伤，”Newton说)”可知，Newton鼓励司机如果撞到动物，请在安全的情况下停车检查动物是否受伤。故选B。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When a friend or family member sets sick, it’s difficult to see them lie in bed coughing uncontrollably and running a fever.

Oftentimes when a friend or family member is ill, we try so hard to make them feel better that we push solutions onto them that they might not be comfortable with. For example, maybe we think it’s best that they sit up, when really they just want to sleep. The first thing you can do to cheer someone up who isn’t feeling well is to actually listen to what their needs are before trying to meet them. ___17___ Ask questions and be a comforting ear to cheer them up, before trying to respond and “fix” their problems. *___18___ Being sick can be incredibly stressful because our schedules are so full. Keeping up with kids, work and housework while you’re sick is incredibly tiring. If this is the case, listen to what your loved one is stressed about, then ask if there is anything you can take off their to-do list. ___19___ Or, perhaps you could stop by the office to drop off paper work for her coworkers. Simple things like this will help enormously in taking the stress off of the ill person. *Give them space. Finally, one of the greatest things you can do for a sick friend or family member is just to give them space. They probably don’t want to get you sick, and having a conversation may be pretty difficult at this point. So, make sure all of their needs are met, then simply leave them alone. ___20___ A. Take on their to-do list. B. Encourage them to relieve stress. C. Avoid asking about their illnesses. D. Don’t simply tell them what they need. E. Maybe you could make dinner this week. F.

B Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You’re becoming more independent and making decision s for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain. The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations. When you were a child, as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map. Now your brain’s job is to make that map more efficient. As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video-game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot. This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you’re good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them if you think they are useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future. 4. What happens as children learn new things? A. Their brains make the maps more efficient. B. The structures of their brains are like big road maps. C. Many different roads lead to the most important places. D. Their brains create more roads to different destinations. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Your brain. B. Something you see. C. Your skill. D. Something you learn. 6. What’s the writer’s advice for teenagers? A. Teenagers should experience more and stick to the useful activities. B. Teenagers should play more video games in order to be a pilot. C. Teenagers should work harder and more efficiently. D. Teenagers should learn to be more independent. 7. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. Ways of Changing Your Brain. B. Making Decisions for Yourself. C. Developing Your Brain for the Future. D. Changes Happening in Your Brain. C Recently, a research on how a new virtual reality (VR 虚拟的现实) experience educated children about the fire disasters was done. It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safe in a fire. It presents a situation for children aged 10-12. In the situation, They are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog. The findings showed that more than 80% of children reported that they felt more confident to tell the advantages and disadvantages of different choices. They also learnt to make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. Children thought it is especially important and meaningful, because 91% of them didn’t have any knowledge of fires at the beginning, and that 67% had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire. The researchers believed such VR experiences made it possible to attract and educate the young. “As children born in digital times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment.” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide a chance for children with surprisingly valuable learning tools.” Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. However, the ability for children to contribute to fire safety at their homes should not be underestimated (低估). “Children do not need to be always waiting for help in disasters and with those virtual reality experiences, we can help children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber. 8. What is the purpose of the new VR experience? A. To describe children’s reactions to fire disasters. B. To teach children to save themselves in a fire. C. To introduce ways of avoiding a fire to children. D To increase children’s interest in VR experiences. 9. From the findings, what is the children’s attitude towards the new VR experience? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Uncertain. D. Supportive. 10. From paragraph 3, we mainly get to know the of the new VR experience? A. development. B. advantages. C. quality. D. introduction. 11. According to the passage, which of the following is True? A. Children make no differences in the fire safety at their homes. B. VR experiences are mainly designed for children in high school. C. Well designed VR can offer children amazingly valuable learning tools. D. 91% of children believed they were not old enough to make safety decisions. D Wildlife experts are asking Australians to drive carefully to avoid unnecessary roadkill as native animal numbers drop following years of natural disasters. Kristie Newton from WIRES said the recent floods across Eastern Queensland and New South Wales could lead to an increase in animal roadkill accidents with wildlife on the move. “This year it might be even worse because they’re traveling a bit further to find food” Newton said. “Important food sources like grasses have become less and less, forcing many animals to move outside their habitat in search of food, and turn up in unusual places.” “The fires killed millions and millions of native animals, and now we’ve had the floods. So it’s important that we try and protect what animals we’ve got left.” the wildlife expert said. The 2019-20 bushfires in Australia have affected nearly three billion animals. According to AAMI Insurance, more than ten percent of all animal roadkill accidents happen in May. More than 15,500 AAMI animal collision claims last year showed that central Victoria’s Heathcote was the country’s most dangerous place for wild animals. Victoria was also the worst state for animal roadkill, with almost one third of animal accidents taking place on Victorian roads. New South Wales and Queensland followed closely behind. Newton said moving a dead animal off the road can be a good way to prevent unnecessary death. “Birds also come down and feed on those bodies, and we see a lot of them get hit when doing that.” She is also encouraging drivers to do the right thing if they hit an animal. “Please pull over where it is safe to check whether the animal is injured,” said Newton. “For your own safety never set close to an adult kangaroo, even if it’s injured.” 12. What is the main reason for the increase in animal roadkill accidents? A. People traveling more than before. B. Animals preferring to feed alongside roads. C. Cities becoming more attractive to animals. D. Animals having to move because of natural disasters. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What damage Australian bush fires have had. B. Natural disasters make it hard to protect wildlife. C. Why it is high time people protected Australian animals. D. Bush fire s are much more dangerous to animals than floods. 14. What information can we get from AAMI Insurance? A. Most roadkill accidents happened in 2019. B. Animals in New South Wales suffered most. C. Queensland took quick action to end roadkill. D. Heathcote saw most roadkill accidents in Australia. 15. What is the right thing for drivers to do in Newton’s opinion? A. Leave the dead animal alone. B. Stop and check on the hit animal. C. Drive off the birds on the roads. D. Touch an injured kangaroo to calm it. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When a friend or family member sets sick, it’s difficult to see them lie in bed coughing uncontrollably and running a fever. What can you do to make them feel better? Luckily, we have some ideas. ___16___ *Listen first, then respond. Oftentimes when a friend or family member is ill, we try so hard to make them feel better that we push solutions onto them that they might not be comfortable with. For example, maybe we think it’s best that they sit up, when really they just want to sleep. The first thing you can do to cheer someone up who isn’t feeling well is to actually listen to what their needs are before trying to meet them. ___17___ Ask questions and be a comforting ear to cheer them up, before trying to respond and “fix” their problems. *___18___ Being sick can be incredibly stressful because our schedules are so full. Keeping up with kids, work and housework while you’re sick is incredibly tiring.

Simple things like this will help enormously in taking the stress off of the ill person. *Give them space. Finally, one of the greatest things you can do for a sick friend or family member is just to give them space. They probably don’t want to get you sick, and having a conversation may be pretty difficult at this point. So, make sure all of their needs are met, then simply leave them alone. ___20___ A. Take on their to-do list. B. Encourage them to relieve stress. C. Avoid asking about their illnesses. D. Don’t simply tell them what they need. E. Maybe you could make dinner this week. F.
