Parenting styles have changed over the years in response to the rapid changes in the world. Whether it is tapping technology or applying the best parenting practices to meet a parenting need, parents nowadays generally invest more time in finding out how best to raise their children.
Modern parents often look to the internet and social media for parenting advice. The availability of resources has helped modern parents engage more in their children’s development, both academically and emotionally. Modern parents are also more eager to find out effective parenting methods to help them raise disciplined and confident children.
A modern parenting style that has emerged is helicopter parenting, where parents are much too focused on their children. They help children with tasks they’re capable of doing on their own, like selecting activities and friends for them, or calling their teachers about homework matters. Such a parenting style can hold back the development of the children’s ability to handle responsibilities independently. Children might be ill-equipped with life skills such as doing laundry (洗衣),clearing their plates or coping with their schoolwork. Always protecting children from failures may also prevent them developing adaptability and acquiring skills like problem-solving.
On the other hand, parents in the past tended to monitor less. Children were given more control over how to manage their schoolwork and choose their friends. Domestic helpers were also not the norm then, hence children of the past were often expected to shoulder the responsibilities of caring for younger brothers and sisters and managing housework. Living in the pre-internet age, parents were less informed about different parenting methods, and their parenting styles were guided more by their personalities, common sense and friendly advice from the extended family and neighbors, rather than by social media influences or parenting websites.
There is no one right way to raise a child. Each child is unique and should be raised differently by parents who are present but not wandering, who are supportive but not controlling, and who protect but not care too much.
4. What does the underlined word “tapping” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Employing.
B. Tracking.
C. Monitoring.
D. Identifying.
5. What is a distinctive characteristic of helicopter parenting?
A. Flexible.
B. Efficient.
C. Conventional.
D. Overinvolved.
6. What do we know about parents in the past?
A. They educated kids in a rigid way.
B. They overestimated their kids’ independence.
C. They afforded kids more space for self-growth.
D. They tended to stay away from social activities.
7. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. How to raise all-round children.
B. How to enhance parent-child bonds.
C. How parenting modes have shifted over the years.
D. How information technology boosts people’s lifestyles.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了近些年来“育儿模式”的变化历程。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“applying the best parenting practices(应用最好的养育方法)”可知,划线词与后文的applying构成并列结构,表示“利用技术”。故划线词与选项A为同义词,意为“利用”。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“A modem parenting style that has emerged is helicopter parenting, where parents are much too focused on their children.(一种现代的育儿方式是“直升机式育儿”,父母把太多的注意力放在孩子身上。)”以及“They help children with tasks they’re capable of doing on their own, like selecting activities and friends for them, or calling their teachers about homework matters. (他们帮助孩子们完成他们自己能够完成的任务,比如为他们选择活动和朋友,或者打电话给他们的老师讨论作业问题。)”可知,“直升机式育儿”的方式中,在孩子的活动中,父母参与的太多。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“On the other hand, parents in the past tended to monitor less. Children were given more control over how to manage their schoolwork and choose their friends. (另一方面,过去的父母往往监督较少。孩子们在如何管理学业和选择朋友方面有了更多的控制权。)”可知,过去的父母对孩子监督较少,给予孩子更多的空间。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Parenting styles have changed over the years in response to the rapid changes in the world.(多年来,随着世界的快速变化,育儿方式也发生了变化。)”以及通读全文可知,文章讲述的是近些年来的育儿模式发生的变化。C选项概括文章主题。故选C。
C
While it throws out about 90 pounds of food per person every year, Japan doesn’t rank at the top of the world’s list of wasteful nations. Still, what’s thrown away represents a serious problem for an island nation with limited landfill space and a goal of greater sustainability. Reinvention can offer an alternative. A Japanese company is taking vegetable peels, cooking oil and other used foodstuffs and making entirely different products.
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world, and its key element, cement, is a major polluter of greenhouse emissions. So what if a more sustainable alterative were possible by making cement with food waste, which also would help reduce greenhouse emissions from landfills where that waste would otherwise be thrown away? That’s the idea behind Fabula, a Tokyo-based start-up.
Researchers at Fabula created a recipe to make food concrete by drying leftovers and pressing them into a mold (模具) at a high temperature. The company, founded by researchers at the University of Tokyo, began with items commonly thrown away like cabbage and orange peels but found that almost any food item can be used. It now takes mostly coffee grounds and tea leaves to make its cement. The product’s durability depends on the components.
Fabula is currently producing made-to-order household items, such as coasters and dishes, while awaiting its patent. The goal is to make furniture and larger structures once the technology is able to make the cement more durable. Food production companies that can’t avoid generating waste during their processes have reached out to work with the company. “We hope to become a matching service between companies that have food waste and companies who want to build things out of such materials,” said Takuma Oishi, Fabula’s chief commercial officer.
Since the cement is 100 percent eatable, it could create opportunities during disaster response when temporary structures need to be built quickly. The people inside might even turn to them for food. If the technology advances enough, Oishi suggested, someday we may be able “to eat the homes or furniture when necessary”.
8. Which problem Japan faces is mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. Food waste.
B. Garbage littering.
C. Energy crisis.
D. Environmental pollution.
9. What’s the initial thought of Fabula?
A. Using food remains in recipes.
B. Finding a cheaper alternative to landfills.
C. Making a novel building material from leftovers.
D. Cutting greenhouse gases by recycling home devices.
10. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The diversity of food sources.
B. The prospects of the company.
C. The innovation of a traditional cuisine.
D. The process of developing food concrete.
11. How is food concrete different from common construction materials?
A. It can fill stomachs.
B. It’s solid and lasting.
C. It can prevent disasters.
D. It’s delicate but cost-free.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。对于日本严重的食物垃圾问题,东京初创企业Fabula提出用食物垃圾制作一种新型建筑材料。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“While it throws out about 90 pounds of food per person every year, Japan doesn’t rank at the top of the world’s list of wasteful nations. Still, what’s thrown away represents a serious problem for an island nation with limited landfill space and a goal of greater sustainability.(虽然日本每年人均浪费约90磅食物,但在世界浪费国家排行榜上却并不名列前茅。尽管如此,对于一个垃圾填埋空间有限、目标是更大的可持续性的岛国来说,被丢弃的垃圾仍然是一个严重的问题。)”可知,第一段中提到了日本面临食物垃圾的问题。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world, and its key element, cement, is a major polluter of greenhouse emissions. So what if a more sustainable alterative were possible by making cement with food waste, which also would help reduce greenhouse emissions from landfills where that waste would otherwise be thrown away?(混凝土是世界上使用最广泛的建筑材料,其关键成分水泥是温室气体排放的主要污染源。那么,如果有一种更可持续的替代方法,用食物垃圾制造水泥,这也有助于减少垃圾填埋场的温室气体排放,否则垃圾就会被丢弃。)”可知,Fabula最初的想法是用食物垃圾制作一种新型建筑材料。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“Researchers at Fabula created a recipe to make food concrete by drying leftovers and pressing them into a mold (模具) at a high temperature.(Fabula的研究人员发明了一种配方,通过干燥剩菜剩饭,并在高温下将其压入模具中,使食物变成混凝土。)”和第二句中的“began with items commonly thrown away like cabbage and orange peels but found that almost any food item can be used(从经常被扔掉的东西开始,比如卷心菜和橘子皮,但发现几乎任何食物都可以使用)”以及第三句“It now takes mostly coffee grounds and tea leaves to make its cement.(现在它主要用咖啡渣和茶叶来制造水泥。)”可知,第三段主要是讲研制食品混凝土的过程。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Since the cement is 100 percent eatable, it could create opportunities during disaster response when temporary structures need to be built quickly.(由于这种水泥是100%可食用的,当需要快速建造临时建筑时,它可以在救灾过程中创造机会)”可知,食品混凝土与普通建筑材料的不同之处是它能填饱肚子。故选A。
D
A good conversation should proceed like a tennis match: players each take turns responding, knowing instinctively (本能) when to speak and when to listen. This kind of complicated and back-and-forth talk is often considered to be possessed only by humans. However, according to a recent study, animals also seem to know when to speak and when to listen.
The study involved over 300 animals including birds, mammals (哺乳动物), insects, and frogs which practice turn-taking behavior. These animals alternate their call and response in a similar way humans communicate. Monkeys, for example, often exchange calls to locate each other in the wild and figure out whether they know one another.
While forms of communication are mostly sound-based, several species have more creative forms of viewable communication. Baby monkeys let their parents know they want to be carried with arm gestures, while birds, insects and frogs can get their messages across through colorful displays.
Kobin Kendrick, the main co-author on the study, says that making comparisons among animals that take turns when communicating can give us a better understanding of how this feature evolved in humans and our ancestors. “We know very little about the evolution and origin of the human language, so any possibility of gaining insight into it is worth going after,” he says.
Additionally, while the idea of turn-taking might bring to mind a picture of orderly, well-mannered animals, Kendrick stresses that this isn’t always the case. Owl (猫头鹰) chicks may try to outdo each other by making louder sounds in an effort to attract favor from their mothers during feeding. “This can be seen as an exception to the rule, highlighting the importance of turn-taking in general,” says Kendrick.
One problem with the study is that researchers themselves don’t know how to communicate with others outside their particular species of interest. Kendrick stresses another goal of the study is to create a wider framework that can bring together all the different researches on turn-taking, allowing scientists to conduct more cross-species comparisons. “We all believe strongly these fields can benefit from each other, and we hope the study will drive more crosstalk between humans and animals in the future,” says Kendrick.
12. What can we learn about the turn-taking behavior?
A. It is a unique human quality.
B. It is an acquired athletic skill.
C. It occurs between familiar relations.
D. It features complexity and interaction.
13. Which of the following is a form of visual intercommunication?
A. Frogs show skin colors.
B. Bees release smells.
C. Eagles scream in the sky.
D. Monkeys exchange calls.
14. Why are “owl chicks” mentioned in paragraph 5?
A To propose a definition.
B. To give a contrast.
C. To present an argument.
D. To make a prediction.
15. What aspect of research does the last paragraph highlight?
A. Research budget.
B. Research range.
C. Research frequency.
D. Research background.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了一项新的研究发现动物似乎也能像人一样,知道在交谈中什么时候该说话,什么时候该听。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A good conversation should proceed like a tennis match: players each take turns responding, knowing instinctively when to speak and when to listen. This kind of complicated and back-and-forth talk is often considered to be possessed only by humans.(一场好的谈话应该像一场网球比赛一样进行:球员们轮流做出反应,本能地知道什么时候该说,什么时候该听。这种复杂而反复的谈话通常被认为只有人类才拥有)”可知,我们能从轮流行为中了解到,它具有复杂性和交互性。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“While forms of communication are mostly sound-based, several species have more creative forms of viewable communication. Baby monkeys let their parents know they want to be carried with arm gestures, while birds, insects and frogs can get their messages across through colorful displays.(虽然交流形式主要是基于声音,但一些物种有更有创意的可视交流形式。猴子宝宝用手势让父母知道它们想被抱着,而鸟类、昆虫和青蛙可以通过彩色的展示来传达信息)”结合选项可知,青蛙展示皮肤颜色属于视觉交流的一种形式。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Additionally, while the idea of turn-taking might bring to mind a picture of orderly, well-mannered animals, Kendrick stresses that this isn’t always the case. Owl chicks may try to outdo each other by making louder sounds in an effort to attract favor from their mothers during feeding. “This can be seen as an exception to the rule, highlighting the importance of turn-taking in general,” says Kendrick.(此外,虽然轮流的想法可能会让人想到一幅有序、彬彬有礼的动物画面,但肯德里克强调,情况并非总是如此。在喂食过程中,猫头鹰雏鸟可能会试图通过发出更大的声音来吸引母亲的青睐。Kendrick说:“这可以被视为规则的一个例外,突出了轮流的重要性。”)”可知,第5段提到了“owl chicks”是为了和有序、彬彬有礼的动物画面做对比。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One problem with the study is that researchers themselves don’t know how to communicate with others outside their particular species of interest. Kendrick stresses another goal of the study is to create a wider framework that can bring together all the different researches on turn-taking, allowing scientists to conduct more cross-species comparisons. “We all believe strongly these fields can benefit from each other, and we hope the study will drive more crosstalk between humans and animals in the future,” says Kendrick.(这项研究的一个问题是,研究人员自己不知道如何与他们感兴趣的特定物种之外的其他人交流。Kendrick强调,这项研究的另一个目标是创建一个更广泛的框架,将所有不同的轮转研究汇集在一起,使科学家能够进行更多的跨物种比较。Kendrick说:“我们都坚信这些领域可以相互受益,我们希望这项研究将在未来推动人类和动物之间更多的交流。”)”可知,最后一段强调了研究的目标,也就是研究范围。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何建立读书俱乐部提出了一些建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Settling down with a great novel enables you to consider ideas that might have never crossed your mind had you not chosen it in the first place.(静下心来读一本伟大的小说能让你思考一些想法,如果你一开始没有选择它,这些想法可能永远不会出现在你的脑海里)”以及后文“If you have the urge and are curious about how to start a book club, it’s easier than you might think.(如果你有这种冲动,并且对如何开始一个读书俱乐部感到好奇,这比你想象的要容易得多)”可知,本句是在说明后文提到的“这种冲动”的具体内容:想和别人讨论你读过的东西。故G选项“有时候你只是想和别人讨论你读过的东西”符合语境,故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“First, find members. Reach out to your existing reading-loving friends and post a notice in your local library or bookstore. If you’re open to a more digital-friendly approach, put the word out about your new club via Twitter or Facebook.(首先,寻找成员。联系你现有的喜欢阅读的朋友,在当地的图书馆或书店张贴启事。如果你愿意采用更友好的数字方式,可以通过Twitter或Facebook宣传你的新俱乐部)”可知,上文提到通过Twitter或Facebook宣传你的新俱乐部,本句为本段最后一句,应承接上文说明这么做的原因:让你日常接触之外的人加入你的圈子,故F选项“你可以让你日常接触之外的人加入你的圈子”符合语境,故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Will your time together be spent largely focusing on the novel at hand?(你们在一起的时间主要集中在手头的小说上吗?)”以及后文“While enjoying stimulating non-book conversation over coffee and snacks is in no way ill-advised, not everyone who signs up for a book club is willing to reject their novel for a cup.(边喝咖啡边吃零食,享受与书本无关的刺激对话并非不明智,但并不是每个参加读书俱乐部的人都愿意为了一杯咖啡而放弃自己的小说)”可知,后文提到了边喝咖啡边吃零食,可推测本句与上文并列,都是设问句,故E选项“茶点最终会是最重要的吗?”符合语境,故选E。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Books that work really well are the ones that help you reflect on self. They have lots of entry points for people so they probably have a good setting. Also, there’s great character development. Select something with the criteria, and you can please all kinds of readers.(真正有用的书是那些能帮助你反思自我的书。他们为人们提供了很多入口,所以他们可能有一个很好的环境。此外,还有很好的角色发展。选择符合标准的东西,你可以让各种读者满意)”可知,本段的主旨是关于书的选择的建议,故C选项“选书似乎是最棘手的部分”符合语境,故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“As far as how often you meet, that schedule is up to your members to determine what’s realistic-plus how long it will take to complete the book. As for location, meeting up at your home is always an option.(至于你多久见面一次,这个时间表由你的成员决定什么是现实的,再加上完成这本书需要多长时间。至于地点,在家里见面总是一个不错的选择)”以及后文“Meeting at a public space like a bar can ease the pressure of entertaining.(在酒吧这样的公共场所见面可以缓解娱乐的压力)”可知,本句是在针对上文提到的在家见面所提出的建议。故A选项“不过,不要觉得一定要当主人”符合语境,故选A。

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In my childhood, under the influence of my el der brother and my peers in the neighborhood, I tried a number of outdoor activities. Of course, I was not so taken by all of them. whether I was doing them for the first time or continuously. However, fate had its own plans in store. You never know when an outdoor activity will change my life.
The name of this activity is “fishing”. About ten years ago, I didn't really like the idea of sitting on the bank of a lake or river, spending long hours under the sun's ultraviolet rays, which can cause sunburns and skin damage, and anxiously anticipating some fish to be kind to take my bait(诱饵). In fact, I used to think of this outdoor activity as some kind of “hide-and-seek-game” that is popular with most young kids, except that it was much harder because I could see my “prey (猎物)” only after catching it.
However, all that changed when I paid a visit to my aunt in the countryside during a summer holiday. I was finally convinced by one of my cousins to accompany him to a nearby lake in order to do some fishing practice with him. In fact, he even assured me that fish would eat my baits. So I agreed and went to the lake expecting to catch some fish. Before throwing my fishing line into the water, my cousin did some tricks attaching some sort of food to my fishing pole.
Learning to fish in a river or lake can be challenging for the beginners like me. The act of dropping a line is easy, but being a successful fisher is hard. That's why they call it fishing but not catching But with practice and patience, it can become easier over time. Patience is essential in lake fishing. It may take some time to find the right spot or lure (鱼饵) that will attract fish.

My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient.

When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient. He taught me how to adjust my pole based on the movements of the fish and how to determine the best time to lift the pole when a fish was on the hook. Under his guidance, I calmed down gradually, staying focused to wait patiently. Then suddenly, I felt a jerk of my pole. A surge of thrill sweeping over me, I pulled the fishing pole out of water and I caught my first fish! So excited was I that I even gave a jump in the air. It was a small one, but it was a milestone for me!
When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish! Thrilled and fulfilled, I skipped all the way home with my cousin, telling him it was a pity that I had been missing out on so much by avoiding this simple outdoor activity before. Since then, I have become a passionate fisherman and love spending time outdoors, appreciating the simple pleasure of life. Fishing has taught me to be patient and persistent and most importantly, it has also taught me a lesson that we should not miss out on these opportunities just because they are simple or just we do not know how to do them well.

Parenting styles have changed over the years in response to the rapid changes in the world. Whether it is tapping technology or applying the best parenting practices to meet a parenting need, parents nowadays generally invest more time in finding out how best to raise their children.
Modern parents often look to the internet and social media for parenting advice. The availability of resources has helped modern parents engage more in their children’s development, both academically and emotionally. Modern parents are also more eager to find out effective parenting methods to help them raise disciplined and confident children.
A modern parenting style that has emerged is helicopter parenting, where parents are much too focused on their children. They help children with tasks they’re capable of doing on their own, like selecting activities and friends for them, or calling their teachers about homework matters. Such a parenting style can hold back the development of the children’s ability to handle responsibilities independently. Children might be ill-equipped with life skills such as doing laundry (洗衣),clearing their plates or coping with their schoolwork. Always protecting children from failures may also prevent them developing adaptability and acquiring skills like problem-solving.
On the other hand parents in the past tended to monitor less. Children were given more control over how to manage their schoolwork and choose their friends. Domestic helpers were also not the norm then, hence children of the past were often expected to shoulder the responsibilities of caring for younger brothers and sisters and managing housework. Living in the pre-internet age, parents were less informed about different parenting methods, and their parenting styles were guided more by their personalities, common sense and friendly advice from the extended family and neighbors, rather than by social media influences or parenting websites.
There is no one right way to raise a child. Each child is unique and should be raised differently by parents who are present but not wandering, who are supportive but not controlling, and who protect but not care too much.

While it throws out about 90 pounds of food per person every year, Japan doesn’t rank at the top of the world’s list of wasteful nations. Still, what’s thrown away represents a serious problem for an island nation with limited landfill space and a goal of greater sustainability. Reinvention can offer an alternative. A Japanese company is taking vegetable peels, cooking oil and other used foodstuffs and making entirely different products.
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world, and its key element, cement, is a major polluter of greenhouse emissions. So what if a more sustainable alterative were possible by making cement with food waste, which also would help reduce greenhouse emissions from landfills where that waste would otherwise be thrown away? That’s the idea behind Fabula, a Tokyo-based start-up.
Researchers at Fabula created a recipe to make food concrete by drying leftovers and pressing them into a mold (模具) at a high temperature. The company, founded by researchers at the University of Tokyo, began with items commonly thrown away like cabbage and orange peels but found that almost any food item can be used. It now takes mostly coffee grounds and tea leaves to make its cement. The product’s durability depends on the components.
Fabula is currently producing made-to-order household items, such as coasters and dishes, while awaiting its patent. The goal is to make furniture and larger structures once the technology is able to make the cement more durable. Food production companies that can’t avoid generating waste during their processes have reached out to work with the company. “We hope to become a matching service between companies that have food waste and companies who want to build things out of such materials,” said Takuma Oishi, Fabula’s chief commercial officer.
Since the cement is 100 percent eatable, it could create opportunities during disaster response when temporary structures need to be built quickly. The people inside might even turn to them for food. If the technology advances enough, Oishi suggested, someday we may be able “to eat the homes or furniture when necessary”.
8. Which problem Japan faces is mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. Food waste.
B. Garbage littering.
C. Energy crisis.
D. Environmental pollution.
9. What’s the initial thought of Fabula?
A. Using food remains in recipes.
B. Finding a cheaper alternative to landfills.
C. Making a novel building material from leftovers.
D. Cutting greenhouse gases by recycling home devices.
10. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The diversity of food sources.
B. The prospects of the company.
C. The innovation of a traditional cuisine.
D. The process of developing food concrete.
11. How is food concrete different from common construction materials?
A. It can fill stomachs.
B. It’s solid and lasting.
C. It can prevent disasters.
D. It’s delicate but cost-free.
D
A good conversation should proceed like a tennis match: players each take turns responding, knowing instinctively (本能) when to speak and when to listen. This kind of complicated and back-and-forth talk is often considered to be possessed only by humans. However, according to a recent study, animals also seem to know when to speak and when to listen.
The study involved over 300 animals including birds, mammals (哺乳动物), insects, and frogs which practice turn-taking behavior. These animals alternate their call and response in a similar way humans communicate. Monkeys, for example, often exchange calls to locate each other in the wild and figure out whether they know one another.
While forms of communication are mostly sound-based, several species have more creative forms of viewable communication. Baby monkeys let their parents know they want to be carried with arm gestures, while birds, insects and frogs can get their messages across through colorful displays.
Kobin Kendrick, the main co-author on the study, says that making comparisons among animals that take turns when communicating can give us a better understanding of how this feature evolved in humans and our ancestors. “We know very little about the evolution and origin of the human language, so any possibility of gaining insight into it is worth going after,” he says.
Additionally, while the idea of turn-taking might bring to mind a picture of orderly, well-mannered animals, Kendrick stresses that this isn’t always the case. Owl (猫头鹰) chicks may try to outdo each other by making louder sounds in an effort to attract favor from their mothers during feeding. “This can be seen as an exception to the rule, highlighting the importance of turn-taking in general,” says Kendrick.
One problem with the study is that researchers themselves don’t know how to communicate with others outside their particular species of interest. Kendrick stresses another goal of the study is to create a wider framework that can bring together all the different researches on turn-taking, allowing scientists to conduct more cross-species comparisons. “We all believe strongly these fields can benefit from each other, and we hope the study will drive more crosstalk between humans and animals in the future,” says Kendrick.
12. What can we learn about the turn-taking behavior?
A. It is a unique human quality.
B. It is an acquired athletic skill.
C. It occurs between familiar relations.
D. It features complexity and interaction.
13. Which of the following is a form of visual intercommunication?
A. Frogs show skin colors.
B. Bees release smells.
C. Eagles scream in the sky.
D. Monkeys exchange calls.
14. Why are “owl chicks” mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To propose a definition.
B. To give a contrast.
C. To present an argument.
D. To make a prediction.
15. What aspect of research does the last paragraph highlight?
A. Research budget.
B. Research range.
C. Research frequency.
D. Research background.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In my childhood, under the influence of my el der brother and my peers in the neighborhood, I tried a number of outdoor activities. Of course, I was not so taken by all of them. whether I was doing them for the first time or continuously. However, fate had its own plans in store. You never know when an outdoor activity will change my life.
The name of this activity is “fishing”. About ten years ago, I didn't really like the idea of sitting on the bank of a lake or river, spending long hours under the sun's ultraviolet rays, which can cause sunburns and skin damage, and anxiously anticipating some fish to be kind to take my bait(诱饵). In fact, I used to think of this outdoor activity as some kind of “hide-and-seek-game” that is popular with most young kids, except that it was much harder because I could see my “prey (猎物)” only after catching it.
However, all that changed when I paid a visit to my aunt in the countryside during a summer holiday. I was finally convinced by one of my cousins to accompany him to a nearby lake in order to do some fishing practice with him. In fact, he even assured me that fish would eat my baits. So I agreed and went to the lake expecting to catch some fish. Before throwing my fishing line into the water, my cousin did some tricks attaching some sort of food to my fishing pole.
Learning to fish in a river or lake can be challenging for the beginners like me. The act of dropping a line is easy, but being a successful fisher is hard. That's why they call it fishing but not catching But with practice and patience, it can become easier over time. Patience is essential in lake fishing. It may take some time to find the right spot or lure (鱼饵) that will attract fish.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish!
