But I always wanted to be a photo editor (编辑), so I tried everything to make it happen. Fortunately, my dream came true at last. I got a job at TIME, the famous magazine. However, later came a moment when I felt like changing my job, because I’ve already got all I wanted there. Having a deep love of nature and freedom, I started to think about making money from being outside all day. I tried a lot of jobs over the past four years. Farming interested me most. There are always endless things to learn on a farm. And you can never imagine (想象) the freedom and power (力量) you can get from nature. A normal (普通的) workday on the farm usually starts with a meeting. Then everyone gets busy with their own things: checking the plants, growing vegetables, feeding chickens, milking the cow, picking fruits and so on. At the end of the day, we talk with each other and go for a walk around the farm, and sometimes we watch the shining stars in the night sky together. How beautiful a day is! The best things in life are free! My changes in jobs may puzzle (使迷惑) many people, especially the young. But as I see, you can try as many things as you can before you find out what your interest really is. If you still can’t find what you love, join us! What farms bring will never let you down! 4.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者大学毕业以来从想做照片编辑到成为一位农民的感受等等。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“But I always wanted to be a photo editor”以及“my dream came true at last”可知，想成为一名照片编辑，最后梦想实现了，这是幸运的，所以划线单词与Luckily同义，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Farming interested me most.”可知，农业是作者最感兴趣的，所以作者是为了自己喜欢的工作，故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据“starts with a meeting”“gets busy with their own things…At the end of the day, we talk with each other and go for a walk around the farm”可知，作者农场的工作和生活是比较轻松愉快，但是同时作者每天是很繁忙的，收获种植蔬菜，养殖鸡鸭等，故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者大学毕业以来从想做照片编辑到成为一位农民的感受等等，应该在“兴趣与工作”版块看到此篇文章，故选B。 C Yawning (打哈欠) is something we all do—maybe because we’re bored or tired. Sometimes, just seeing other people yawn makes you yawn, too. According to BBC, a new study shows it might be because yawning cools the brain, like the fan in your computer. This might be why we are more likely (可能的) to sleep and yawn on hot days. We yawn more when we’re tired and ready for a short sleep, and we can’t control when we do it! But it’s also true that yawning is very contagious behavior (行为). John Drury, a researcher, told BBC that, “It’s something that you can’t stop. Dogs yawn when their owners yawn, and animals yawn to each other. It happens whether (无论) you want to or not.” His research into this behavior showed that there is a connection with how close we are to the yawning people. If we are closely connected with the person who has the behavior, we are likely to do it, too. Another research showed the same results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found that they couldn’t stop yawning when others around them yawned. They also found, when using electrical stimulation (电刺激), they were able to increase (提升) people’s wish to yawn. These findings could be useful like helping treat other diseases (疾病) like Tourette’s. 8. When are people more likely to yawn according to Paragraph Two? A. On cool days. B. On cold days. C. On hot days. 9. What does the underlined word “contagious” mean in Paragraph 3? A. 有危险的 B. 有害处的 C. 有传染性的 10. Why could these findings in the last paragraph be useful? A. Because they could help people stop yawning. B. Because they could be good for treating some diseases. C. Because they could make people sleep well. 11. Why did the writer write the passage? A. To show why people yawn. B. To describe how to yawn well. C. To tell us why it is good to yawn. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了人打哈欠的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This might be why we are more likely (可能的) to sleep and yawn on hot days.”可知，我们在热天更容易睡觉和打哈欠。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“It’s something that you can’t stop. Dogs yawn when their owners yawn, and animals yawn to each other. ”可知，打哈欠这种行为是无法阻止的。当主人打哈欠时，狗也会打哈欠，动物之间也会互相打哈欠。由此推知打哈欠具有传染性；“contagious”表示“有传染性的”。故选C。 10题详解】 细节理解题。根据“These findings could be useful like helping treat other diseases (疾病) like Tourette’s.”可知，这些发现可能有助于治疗其他疾病，如妥瑞氏症。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了人打哈欠的原因。故选A。 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8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。选项中一项为多余选项。 Slow down in life Slowing down helps you see the world clearly.

He lives in the Samburu National Reserve (保护区) in Kenya, a country in Africa. Lewis uses his legs to walk and his eyes to look for food. He uses his trunk (象鼻) to catch food. African elephants are in danger. That means the number of elephants is very small in some places. To protect them, natural reserves like the Samburu National Reserve are set up (建立). They give the animals a safe place to live. Protecting huge animals can be hard. Food and space (空间) are quite important for elephants. It is difficult to find spaces that are large enough and enough food for them. Many smaller animals, like deer, share 64-square-mile reserve. They need less food than Lewis. And unlike Lewis, they don’t walk into unsafe places. Scientists wanted to find out what made the elephants walk into unsafe places. Maybe then they could keep them safe in Samburu. They put special collars (颈圈) around the necks of elephants to follow them. Scientists learned that Lewis often left the reserve during the dry season. When there was little rain, he couldn’t find enough to eat. He learned to find delicious crops (庄稼) on a farm. This information will help Lewis. Scientists can give him food in the dry seasons. 36. Where is the Samburu National Reserve? ___________________________________________ 37. Why is the Samburu National Reserve set up? ___________________________________________ 38. Is it more common (更常见) for elephants or deer to walk into unsafe places? ___________________________________________ 39.

By putting special collars around the necks of elephants. 40. During the dry season. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Lewis, 一头生活在肯尼亚桑布鲁国家保护区的野生大象，由于干旱季节食物短缺而离开保护区觅食，科学家通过颈圈追踪他的行为，以便在干旱季节为其提供食物。 【36题详解】 根据“Lewis is a wild elephant. He lives in the Samburu National Reserve (保护区) in Kenya, a country in Africa.”可知，桑布鲁国家保护区位于非洲的肯尼亚。故填In Kenya, Africa. 【37题详解】 根据“That means the number of elephants is very small in some places. To protect them, natural reserves like the Samburu National Reserve are set up (建立). They give the animals a safe place to live.”可知，桑布鲁国家保护区的建立是为了保护大象，给它们提供一个安全的生活环境。故填To protect elephants and to give them a safe place to live. 【38题详解】 根据“Many smaller animals, like deer, share 64-square-mile reserve. They need less food than Lewis. And unlike Lewis, they don’t walk into unsafe places.”可知，较小的动物，像鹿，它们不会走进不安全的地方，即大象走进不安全的地方更常见。故填It is more common for elephants to walk into unsafe places. 【39题详解】 根据“They put special collars (颈圈) around the necks of elephants to follow them.”可知，他们在大象的脖子上套上特殊的项圈来跟踪它们。故填By putting special collars around the necks of elephants. 【40题详解】 根据“Scientists learned that Lewis often left the reserve during the dry season.”可知，Lewis经常在旱季离开保护区。故填During the dry season. 第二节 书面表达（满分15分） 41. 假如你是Dave，你收到了英语讲故事俱乐部(English story telling club)的一封邮件，请你阅读以下信件内容，并给他们写一封回信。 Dear Dave, We’re really glad to know you want to join the English story telling club in your last letter.

He lives in the Samburu National Reserve (保护区) in Kenya, a country in Africa. Lewis uses his legs to walk and his eyes to look for food. He uses his trunk (象鼻) to catch food. African elephants are in danger. That means the number of elephants is very small in some places. To protect them, natural reserves like the Samburu National Reserve are set up (建立). They give the animals a safe place to live. Protecting huge animals can be hard. Food and space (空间) are quite important for elephants. It is difficult to find spaces that are large enough and enough food for them. Many smaller animals, like deer, share 64-square-mile reserve. They need less food than Lewis. And unlike Lewis, they don’t walk into unsafe places. Scientists wanted to find out what made the elephants walk into unsafe places. Maybe then they could keep them safe in Samburu. They put special collars (颈圈) around the necks of elephants to follow them. Scientists learned that Lewis often left the reserve during the dry season. When there was little rain, he couldn’t find enough to eat. He learned to find delicious crops (庄稼) on a farm. This information will help Lewis. Scientists can give him food in the dry seasons. 36.
