Filled with originality and wit, his latest work James is a retelling of Mark Twain’s classic Huckleberry Finn from the perspective (视角) of Jim. Jim, or James, is the slave (奴隶) of Miss Watson, who decides to sell him and separate him from his family. So Jim decides to run away. He’s soon found by Huckleberry, who has also run away from his violent father, and the two draw up a plan to save each other. Twain starts his story by explaining various dialects. Everett assumes that perhaps Twain was only familiar with the dialect and intelligence that the African American slaves showed to white people, as a way of protecting themselves from those who considered an educated slave dangerous. A character like Jim tends to pretend to be simple-minded to avoid suspicions (怀疑). Everett gives him the depth and richness that Twain was not able to imagine. In an interview, Everett talks about his novel saying that “I hope that no one thinks that my novel is about slavery. There’s a difference between writing a story about people who happen to be slaves and writing a story about slavery.” 21. What is the text? A. A book review. B. A biography. C. A research paper. D. An advertisement. 22. According to Everett, why does Jim present himself as simple-minded? A. To receive better education. B. To prove himself unintelligent. C To protect himself from the whites. D. To get familiar with other slaves. 23. What do we know about Everett from the text? A. He regards James as a book on slavery. B. He borrows Mark Twain’s character Jim blindly. C. He has been a household name for the past three decades. D. He renews Huckleberry Finn through an escaped slave’s eye. B Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart — The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web. Farming, however, was something I experienced later in life, in my teenage years. It’s something I instantly connected with, and I feel fortunate that my children have been able to grow up helping out on the farm and spending lots of time with our livestock and pets. It’s so important to get a connection with farming at an early stage. We all eat food, so being familiar with where it comes from and what goes into producing it is a natural thing. If a spark of interest can be ignited early, it can only be a good thing going forward. It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own. Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork — both fantastic life skills. I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love. 24. How does the author lead into the topic? A. By showing his desire to keep animals. B. By recommending his childhood reads. C. By sharing his own experience with nature. D. By comparing his farm life with his children’s. 25. What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Awakened. B. Expressed. C. Weakened. D. Kept. 26. What role does an early contact with farming play in children’s growth? A. A time killer. B. A character builder. C. A social connector. D. An emotional comforter. 27. Which statement does the author probably agree with? A. Well begun is half done. B. What pains us shapes us. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Interest starts with practice. C Anthropologist Daniel Miller has observed that an alien (外星人) visiting Earth might suppose that four-wheeled creatures rule the planet. These rulers, he points out, are “served by a host of slaves who walk on legs and spend their whole lives serving them.” He meant this as a joke, but it mirrors American car culture to some extent. In the US, the costs of car dependency keep growing, far above the $12, 000-per-year average expense of owning a new one. Coast-to-coast, the cars we drive cause about 16% of greenhouse gas emissions. They cause significant air pollution, which worsens heart disease rates. Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death in people aged 1 to 44. Since 2010 the number of pedestrians (行人) killed by cars has increased to about 7,500 a year. American car culture is a choice that now comes at too high a cost, both for ourselves and for the environment. After a century of its central place in our lives, we need to rethink our world into one not so attached to cars. Solutions are obvious and right in front of us. Sidewalks and bike trails should receive the same priority (优先权) as roads in our cities, instead of being afterthoughts. Unreasonable demands by the Government that the public get back behind the wheel to offices need to stop. We can even provide discounts to bicyclists who take the train or subway. Another reality is that car parking is too cheap across much of the country, where different parking prices can change our plans from hopping in the car during rush hours to taking the subway instead. We need to end our car-centered way of life nationwide. Otherwise, those aliens will have made the right call on who serves who, the cars or the people. 28. Why are aliens and slaves mentioned at the beginning? A. To compare aliens to slaves. B. To amuse readers with a joke. C. To warn readers of the coming danger. D. To illustrate humans’ dependence on cars. 29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The great popularity of cars. B. The negative impact of cars. C. The environmental damage by cars. D. The high cost of owning cars. 30. Which measure might be taken according to the author? A. Promote walking and bicycling. B. Demand the public drive to work. C. Offer free train rides to bicyclists. D. Reduce parking fees in rush hours. 31. What is the text aimed at? A. Introducing American car culture. B. Recommending a replacement for cars. C. Encouraging a less car-dependent lifestyle. D. Explaining the phenomenon of car dependency. D Babies as young as four months old can make sense of how their bodies interact with the space around them, according to a new research from the University of Birmingham. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, throw new light on how self-awareness develops. In the first stage, experts from the Birmingham Baby Lab showed babies a ball on a screen moving towards them. When the ball was closest to them on the screen, the babies were presented with a touch on their hands, while their brain activity was being measured. It was found that even in the first few months of life, before babies have even learned to reach for objects, the multisensory (多感官的) brain is wired up to make links between what babies see and what they feel. Dr Giulia Orioli, the study leader, said: “Since we know babies in the early stages of their development begin to show signs of this, it opens up questions about how much of these abilities are learned, or inborn.” Then a ball on a screen was shown moving away from them in the second stage. The experts found that in babies aged eight months old when the touch on their hand followed the ball on the screen moving away from them, the babies’ brain activity showed signs that they were amazed. The older babies’ responses suggest that they had not expected the touch. Next, the researchers are planning to follow up this study with younger participants, hoping to be able to see if there are early signs of these “multisensory” abilities in newborn babies. “It is a challenge working with newborns,” Dr Orioli concluded, “but we are starting to have some success working with this age group, and it is going to be fascinating to see if babies only a few days old have the foundations of a sense of their bodies in space. If so, it could be that we are looking at the origins of human consciousness.” 32. What can we learn about Stage 1 of the research? A. Babies’ multisensory abilities are learned. B. Babies learn to reach for objects earlier than expected. C. Babies connect what they see and feel in the first few months. D. Babies’ brain activity was measured when a ball touched them. 33. What is the babies’ response in Stage 2 of the research? A Surprise. B. Fear. C. Calmness. D. Annoyance. 34. How does Dr Orioli feel about the future of this research? A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Puzzled. D. Worried. 35. Which one is the best title for the text? A. Babies’ Interaction with Balls Measured B. Origins of Human Consciousness Found C. Babies’ Multisensory Brain Developed at Birth D. Young Babies Showing Signs of Self-awareness 第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5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。 Summer — Ready The weather is starting to warm up now. _____36_____ However, if your patio (露台) isn't currently tidy or stylish, the following advice will get it in tip-top shape in time for the summer. ●Prepare your patio.

Just as the animals were hibernating (冬眠), it seemed that so were our new neighbors. As newcomers, we felt alone. Then something happened. It all began with a simple request from our eight-year-old daughter. “Mommy, let's put up a Christmas tree at home. ” At first, we didn't pay too much attention to this request, for we had never put up a Christmas tree. But my daughter's repeated request made us go ahead with this first step: loaded with layers of clothing to fight the unfamiliar cold, we tasked ourselves with finding a tree for our daughter. When we finally selected our tree, we realized we didn't have a car big enough to get it home. Of course, we had not considered that. It was our first time. We had no choice but to carry it home. We had walked only a few steps when a gentleman in our neighborhood stopped his truck and offered us a ride home. Our first friend. The Christmas tree was propped up (支起) in our living area but it was too dark. We needed Christmas lights! So, the next evening, we went to a store and asked for lights. The storekeeper, who, after getting over the surprise of our seemingly silly questions, explained to us that we needed multi-colored lights. Thanking the kind soul, we left with our lights and his warmth. Our second friend. That night, we carefully wound the lights around the tree and excitedly held our breaths for the beauty of the first glow. Still, it looked like something was missing: small ornaments (装 饰) . Where would we get them? One lady across the street had a breathtaking tree carefully placed in a window for all to see. Every night, I stood behind the curtain, spending unnatural amounts of time studying the bells and whistles in her tree. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One evening, seeing the lady clearing snow off her sidewalk, I made a decision. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 台州市 高一年级期末质量评估试题 英 语 满分150分 考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前, 考生务必用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号和座位 号填写在答题卡上。 2. 作答选择题时, 选出每小题答案后, 用2B 铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息 点涂黑；如需改动, 用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案。答案不能答在试卷上。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答, 答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域 内相应位置上；如需改动, 先划掉原来的答案, 然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改 液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后, 将答题卡交回。 第一部分听力(共两节, 满分30分) 做题时, 先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后, 你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的 答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选 出最佳选项, 并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答 有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Who may the woman borrow a bike from?

It’s now 9 o’clock in the morning, time for our radio’s hourly weather report. If you’re just about to leave your house, don’t forget to take your umbrella with you. The rain is expected to start in the early morning, so prepare to protect yourself. However, the sky will clear this afternoon, and the temperature will be 18℃. It will be a much cooler day tomorrow with a high of only 7℃, the coldest day in several months, so you’ll need a warm coat when you head out in the morning. Now for the traffic report. On Highway 6 going south, traffic is moving slowly, so if you’re heading south, we recommend taking Highway 17.

Filled with originality and wit, his latest work James is a retelling of Mark Twain’s classic Huckleberry Finn from the perspective (视角) of Jim. Jim, or James, is the slave (奴隶) of Miss Watson, who decides to sell him and separate him from his family. So Jim decides to run away. He’s soon found by Huckleberry, who has also run away from his violent father, and the two draw up a plan to save each other. Twain starts his story by explaining various dialects. Everett assumes that perhaps Twain was only familiar with the dialect and intelligence that the African American slaves showed to white people, as a way of protecting themselves from those who considered an educated slave dangerous. A character like Jim tends to pretend to be simple-minded to avoid suspicions (怀疑). Everett gives him the depth and richness that Twain was not able to imagine. In an interview, Everett talks about his novel saying that “I hope that no one thinks that my novel is about slavery. There’s a difference between writing a story about people who happen to be slaves and writing a story about slavery.” 21. What is the text? A. A book review. B. A biography. C. A research paper. D. An advertisement. 22. According to Everett, why does Jim present himself as simple-minded? A. To receive better education. B. To prove himself unintelligent. C. To protect himself from the whites. D. To get familiar with other slaves. 23. What do we know about Everett from the text? A. He regards James as a book on slavery. B. He borrows Mark Twain’s character Jim blindly. C. He has been a household name for the past three decades. D. He renews Huckleberry Finn through an escaped slave’s eye. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评，主要讲述了Percival Everett的最新作品《James》。这部作品是对马克·吐温的经典作品《哈克贝利·芬历险记》的重新诠释，从奴隶Jim的视角出发。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Despite winning various prizes over the last 30 years, Percival Everett's name had never crossed many readers' desks until The Trees was shortlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize.”（尽管在过去的30年里赢得了各种奖项，但Percival Everett的名字直到《树》入围2022年布克奖才为许多读者所知。） 以及第二段中“Filled with originality and wit, his latest work James is a retelling of Mark Twain's classic Huckleberry Finn from the perspective (视角) of Jim.”（他的最新作品《James》充满了独创性和机智，是从Jim的视角重新诠释马克·吐温的经典作品《哈克贝利·芬历险记》。）可知，本文主要介绍了Percival Everett的新作《James》；由此可知，本文是一篇书评。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Everett assumes that perhaps Twain was only familiar with the dialect and intelligence that the African American slaves showed to white people, as a way of protecting themselves from those who considered an educated slave dangerous. A character like Jim tends to pretend to be simple-minded to avoid suspicions(怀疑).”（Everett假设，也许吐温只熟悉非洲裔美国奴隶向白人展示的方言和智慧，作为保护自己免受那些认为受过教育的奴隶危险的人的方式。像Jim这样的角色往往会假装自己头脑简单，以避免怀疑。）可知，Jim假装自己头脑简单是为了保护自己免受白人的怀疑。故选C。 23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Filled with originality and wit, his latest work James is a retelling of Mark Twain's classic Huckleberry Finn from the perspective(视角)of Jim. Jim, or James, is the slave(奴隶) of Miss Watson, who decides to sell him and separate him from his family.”（他的最新作品《James》充满了独创性和智慧，从Jim的角度重新讲述了马克·吐温的经典名著《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》。Jim，或James，是Miss Watson的奴隶，她决定卖掉他，把他和家人分开。）和第三段中“Everett gives him the depth and richness that Twain was not able to imagine.”（Everett赋予了Jim吐温无法想象的深度和丰富性。）可知，Everett通过奴隶的视角重新诠释了《哈克贝利·芬历险记》。故选D。 B Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart — The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web. Farming, however, was something I experienced later in life, in my teenage years. It’s something I instantly connected with, and I feel fortunate that my children have been able to grow up helping out on the farm and spending lots of time with our livestock and pets. It’s so important to get a connection with farming at an early stage. We all eat food, so being familiar with where it comes from and what goes into producing it is a natural thing. If a spark of interest can be ignited early, it can only be a good thing going forward. It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own. Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork — both fantastic life skills. I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love. 24. How does the author lead into the topic? A. By showing his desire to keep animals. B. By recommending his childhood reads. C. By sharing his own experience with nature. D. By comparing his farm life with his children’s. 25. What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Awakened. B. Expressed. C. Weakened. D. Kept. 26. What role does an early contact with farming play in children’s growth? A. A time killer. B. A character builder. C. A social connector. D. An emotional comforter. 27. Which statement does the author probably agree with? A. Well begun is half done. B. What pains us shapes us. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Interest starts with practice. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过讲述个人的经历，论述了在人生的早期阶段，在农村长大给成长带来的好处。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart—The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web.(在农村社区长大，我一直热爱乡村、动物和大自然。我小时候读的书里经常有动物的身影——《怕黑的猫头鹰》、《夏洛的网》。)”可知，该段介绍了作者在农村成长的经历带来的影响，由此可知，本文是通过介绍个人经历引入话题的。故选C项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own.(当孩子们参观学校时，看到我们家庭农场里动物的照片和鸡蛋孵化的视频，他们的脸上都露出了喜悦的表情。)”可知，孩子们看到农场里的动物的照片和鸡蛋孵化的视频时，他们都会感到开心，结合划线单词所在的句子“If a spark of interest can be…early, it can only be a good thing going forward.(如果兴趣的火花能够及早被……，那么它在将来只会是一件好事。)”可推知，兴趣的火花被尽早“点燃”，在将来会是一件好事，划线单词的意思应与A项“Awakened点燃”意义相近。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题，根据倒数第二段中的“Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork—both fantastic life skills.(它建立了责任、善良、毅力和解决问题的基础。我们一家人经常在农场一起工作，这建立了强烈的职业道德和团队意识——这两种都是很棒的生活技能。)”可知，早期与农场接触可以让孩子建立责任、善良、毅力和解决问题的基础，还可以形成强烈的职业道德和团队意识这样的生活技能，由此可知，早期与农场的接触可以培养儿童的性格和能力。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段“I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love.(我坚信你不知道你会爱上什么，除非你尝试过。我的希望是，如果来自非农村背景的孩子们能体验一下农场的生活，那么他们可能会发现自己喜欢的东西。)”可知，作者认为只有你尝试过才会爱上，同时，作者希望没有农村成长背景的孩子来体验一下农场生活会发现自己喜欢的东西，由此可知，作者赞成的观点是兴趣源于实践。故选D项。 C Anthropologist Daniel Miller has observed that an alien (外星人) visiting Earth might suppose that four-wheeled creatures rule the planet. These rulers, he points out, are “served by a host of slaves who walk on legs and spend their whole lives serving them.” He meant this as a joke, but it mirrors American car culture to some extent. In the US, the costs of car dependency keep growing, far above the $12, 000-per-year average expense of owning a new one. Coast-to-coast, the cars we drive cause about 16% of greenhouse gas emissions. They cause significant air pollution, which worsens heart disease rates. Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death in people aged 1 to 44. Since 2010 the number of pedestrians (行人) killed by cars has increased to about 7,500 a year. American car culture is a choice that now comes at too high a cost, both for ourselves and for the environment. After a century of its central place in our lives, we need to rethink our world into one not so attached to cars. Solutions are obvious and right in front of us. Sidewalks and bike trails should receive the same priority (优先权) as roads in our cities, instead of being afterthoughts. Unreasonable demands by the Government that the public get back behind the wheel to offices need to stop. We can even provide discounts to bicyclists who take the train or subway. Another reality is that car parking is too cheap across much of the country, where different parking prices can change our plans from hopping in the car during rush hours to taking the subway instead. We need to end our car-centered way of life nationwide. Otherwise, those aliens will have made the right call on who serves who, the cars or the people. 28. Why are aliens and slaves mentioned at the beginning? A. To compare aliens to slaves. B. To amuse readers with a joke. C. To warn readers of the coming danger. D. To illustrate humans’ dependence on cars. 29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The great popularity of cars. B. The negative impact of cars. C. The environmental damage by cars. D. The high cost of owning cars. 30. Which measure might be taken according to the author? A. Promote walking and bicycling. B. Demand the public drive to work. C. Offer free train rides to bicyclists. D. Reduce parking fees in rush hours. 31. What is the text aimed at? A. Introducing American car culture. B. Recommending a replacement for cars. C. Encouraging a less car-dependent lifestyle. D. Explaining the phenomenon of car dependency. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者认为人们应该减少对汽车的依赖，因为汽车有很多负面影响，并提出了可行的解决方案。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“He meant this as a joke, but it mirrors American car culture to some extent. In the US, the costs of car dependency keep growing, far above the $12, 000-per-year average expense of owning a new one.(他的本意是开玩笑，但这在某种程度上反映了美国的汽车文化。在美国，依赖汽车的成本持续增长，远远高于拥有一辆新车的平均每年1.2万美元的成本。)”可知，开头提到了外星人和奴隶是为了表明人类对汽车的依赖。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Coast-to-coast, the cars we drive cause about 16% of greenhouse gas emissions. They cause significant air pollution, which worsens heart disease rates. Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death in people aged 1 to 44. Since 2010 the number of pedestrians (行人) killed by cars has increased to about 7,500 a year.(从东海岸到西海岸，我们驾驶的汽车造成了大约16%的温室气体排放。它们造成严重的空气污染，加剧了心脏病的发病率。机动车事故是1至44岁人群死亡的主要原因。自2010年以来，被汽车撞死的行人数量增加到每年约7500人。)”可知，第二段主要是讲汽车的负面影响。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Sidewalks and bike trails should receive the same priority (优先权) as roads in our cities, instead of being afterthoughts.(在我们的城市中，人行道和自行车道应该像道路一样得到同样的重视，而不是事后考虑。)”可知，作者认为可以采取鼓励步行和骑行的措施。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We need to end our car-centered way of life nationwide. Otherwise, those aliens will have made the right call on who serves who, the cars or the people.(我们需要在全国范围内结束以汽车为中心的生活方式。否则，那些外星人就会做出正确的决定，谁为谁服务，是车还是人。)”可知，文章是为了鼓励少依赖汽车的生活方式。故选C。 D Babies as young as four months old can make sense of how their bodies interact with the space around them, according to a new research from the University of Birmingham. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, throw new light on how self-awareness develops. In the first stage, experts from the Birmingham Baby Lab showed babies a ball on a screen moving towards them. When the ball was closest to them on the screen, the babies were presented with a touch on their hands, while their brain activity was being measured. It was found that even in the first few months of life, before babies have even learned to reach for objects, the multisensory (多感官的) brain is wired up to make links between what babies see and what they feel. Dr Giulia Orioli, the study leader, said: “Since we know babies in the early stages of their development begin to show signs of this, it opens up questions about how much of these abilities are learned, or inborn.” Then a ball on a screen was shown moving away from them in the second stage. The experts found that in babies aged eight months old when the touch on their hand followed the ball on the screen moving away from them, the babies’ brain activity showed signs that they were amazed. The older babies’ responses suggest that they had not expected the touch. Next, the researchers are planning to follow up this study with younger participants, hoping to be able to see if there are early signs of these “multisensory” abilities in newborn babies. “It is a challenge working with newborns,” Dr Orioli concluded, “but we are starting to have some success working with this age group, and it is going to be fascinating to see if babies only a few days old have the foundations of a sense of their bodies in space. If so, it could be that we are looking at the origins of human consciousness.” 32. What can we learn about Stage 1 of the research? A. Babies’ multisensory abilities are learned. B. Babies learn to reach for objects earlier than expected. C. Babies connect what they see and feel in the first few months. D. Babies’ brain activity was measured when a ball touched them. 33. What is the babies’ response in Stage 2 of the research? A. Surprise. B. Fear. C. Calmness. D. Annoyance. 34. How does Dr Orioli feel about the future of this research? A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Puzzled. D. Worried. 35. Which one is the best title for the text? A. Babies’ Interaction with Balls Measured B. Origins of Human Consciousness Found C. Babies’ Multisensory Brain Developed at Birth D. Young Babies Showing Signs of Self-awareness 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据伯明翰大学的一项新研究，4个月大的婴儿就能理解他们的身体是如何与周围的空间相互作用的。发表在《科学报告》上的研究结果，为自我意识的发展提供了新的视角。文章对此进行了详细介绍。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“It was found that even in the first few months of life, before babies have even learned to reach for objects, the multisensory (多感官的) brain is wired up to make links between what babies see and what they feel.(研究发现，即使在婴儿出生后的头几个月，在他们还没有学会伸手去拿东西之前，多感官大脑就已经开始连接起来，把婴儿看到的和感觉到的联系起来。)”可知，从研究的第一阶段可以了解到婴儿在最初的几个月里会把他们看到和感觉到的东西联系起来。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The experts found that in babies aged eight months old when the touch on their hand followed the ball on the screen moving away from them, the babies’ brain activity showed signs that they were amazed.(专家们发现，在8个月大的婴儿中，当他们的手触摸屏幕上的球远离他们时，婴儿的大脑活动显示出他们感到惊讶的迹象。)”可知，研究的第二阶段中婴儿的反应是惊讶。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句中的“but we are starting to have some success working with this age group, and it is going to be fascinating to see if babies only a few days old have the foundations of a sense of their bodies in space. If so, it could be that we are looking at the origins of human consciousness.(但是我们已经开始在这个年龄段取得了一些成功，看看几天大的婴儿是否已经有了在空间中感知自己身体的基础，这将是一件很有趣的事情。如果是这样的话，我们可能正在研究人类意识的起源。)”可知，Orioli博士对这项研究的未来感到很有希望。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Babies as young as four months old can make sense of how their bodies interact with the space around them, according to a new research from the University of Birmingham. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, throw new light on how self-awareness develops.(根据伯明翰大学的一项新研究，4个月大的婴儿就能理解他们的身体是如何与周围的空间相互作用的。发表在《科学报告》上的研究结果，为自我意识的发展提供了新的视角。)”可知，文章主要是讲科学研究发现4个月大的婴儿就能理解他们的身体是如何与周围的空间相互作用的，这显示出了自我意识，D项“婴儿表现出自我意识的迹象”适合作文章标题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5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。 Summer — Ready The weather is starting to warm up now. _____36_____ However, if your patio (露台) isn't currently tidy or stylish, the following advice will get it in tip-top shape in time for the summer. ●Prepare your patio.
