It also tells us to keep away from bad smells. But do you know the interesting facts about something that smells bad? Fish You might have noticed that fish smell unpleasant sometimes. Fish from the ocean smell the strongest. These saltwater fish have a chemical (化学物质) called TMAO. While we prepare fish for cooking, TMAO is already changing into other things. One is called TMA. It smells super smelly. Usually, before cooks make saltwater fish a dish, they wash fish. And most of the TMA can be washed away. Cooks also add lemon to make the fish less smelly. Feet Foot sweat (脚汗) itself does not have a bad smell at first. But it has food and water that the bacteria (细菌) need. With them, the bacteria give off some smell. Most shoes often keep sweat in them. That makes shoes and socks warm and wet—a place where bacteria can grow. Different types of bacteria give off different smells. That’s why feet may smell like bad vegetables, smelly eggs or other smelly things. Eggs Many things smell terrible when they go bad. But a bad egg gives off the most famous bad smell of all and draws people’s attention. When an egg goes bad, the bacteria help to change the sulfur (硫) in its white part into sulfur and hydrogen (硫化氢). And it smells really bad. The nose just warns us away from it because too much sulfur and hydrogen will harm our health. 36. How does the writer tell readers that something smells bad in the passage? A. By showing forms. B. By listing numbers. C. By drawing pictures. D. By giving examples. 37. What can you learn from the passage? A. Different bacteria produce the same smell. B. A smelly egg gives off sulfur and hydrogen. C. Dry shoes and socks can help bacteria grow. D. Lemon increases the bad smell of saltwater fish. 38. Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A. Word History. B. Cooking Tips. C. Travel Guide. D. Fun Facts. B Pet parrots that are allowed to make video calls to other birds show signs of feeling less isolated, according to scientists. The study, which involved giving the birds a computer that they could use to make video calls, found that they began to engage in more social behaviors including preening, singing and playing. The birds were given a choice of which “friend” to call on a touchscreen computer and the study showed that the parrots that called other birds most often were the most popular choices. Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas, of the University of Glasgow and a co-author of the study, said that video calls had helped many people feel less isolated in the last few years. She added, “There are 20 million parrots living in people’s homes in the USA, and we wanted to explore whether those birds might benefit (受益) from video calling too. If we gave them the chance to call other parrots, would they choose to do so, and would the experience benefit the parrots and their caregivers?” Their study of 18 pet parrots suggested that there were, indeed, benefits for the birds. In the wild, many species of parrots live in large groups, but as pets they are, kept alone or in a small group. Living alone can cause birds, to develop mental problems, which include rocking, walking back and forth, or self-harming behaviors such as feather-plucking. The parrots first learned to ring a bell and then touch a photo of another bird on the screen of a computer to make a call to that bird, with the help of their owners. In total the birds made 147 calls to each other during the study, while owners took detailed notes on the birds’ behavior and the researchers later reviewed the video footage. Jennifer Cunha of Northeastern University said that the parrots “seemed to know” that they were communicating with other birds. “All the bird owners in the study said they valued the experience, and would want to continue using the system with their parrots in the future,” she said. “I was quite surprised at so many different behaviors,” said Hirskyj-Douglas. “Some would sing, some would play around and go upside down, others would want to show another bird their toys.” 39. The main purpose of the study is to find out _________. A. if parrots can learn to make video calls B. if parrots can benefit from video calling C. why parrots can have so many benefits D. why parrots can develop mental problems 40. What can we learn about the pet parrots? A. Their way to communicate is singing. B. Most of them used to live in large groups. C. The most popular ones made most calls. D. They can make video calls by themselves. 41. Which word has the closest meaning to “isolated”? A. amazed B. calm C. scared D. lonely 42. The following paragraph can best go after ________. Video calling could reproduce some of the social benefits of living in a group, according to Rébecca Kleinberger, of Northeastern University and first author of the study. A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 C How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of math or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to pay the bill after a meal, to calculating your household bills. But many are afraid the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem frightening, but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re certainly not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability. The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety (焦虑) to the students, and girls may be more likely to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got nervous doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University believes giving students, especially girls, good role models is critical, especially at a young age. She thinks the key is to get people, especially women, who love teaching maths to younger children. Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography. Because there’s no room for playing tricks in math tests, it makes you more worried about math. And once we think we’re not a math person, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.” Psychologists (心理学家) have been trying to work out why mental arithmetic (心算) can bring us out in a sweat. That fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their control on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Most importantly, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. 43. What is the author’s understanding of maths anxiety in Paragraph 1? A. It happens when people have to pay bills after a meal. B. It actually shows one’s poor performance in maths. C. Only students often suffer from this sense of worry. D. People normally have it when dealing with numbers. 44. What may cause students’ maths anxiety according to the research? A. The particular feature of maths. B. The fear of failure in maths tests. C. Students’ dislike of learning maths. D. Maths teachers lack of confidence. 45. What can we infer from David Robson’s words? A. Geography seldom causes worry. B. Slow students have maths worries. C. Dishonesty is difficult in maths tests. D. Maths students like number puzzles. 46. What is the best way to get over maths anxiety? A. Speaking out your fears in public. B. Inviting female maths teachers. C. Having a positive attitude to maths. D. Viewing a maths test as a challenge. D I’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village? It should be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms (自我批评): Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think. Just then—WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared Where did it come from? Right there out of nowhere, a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk (黄昏). I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day. How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all. We miss a lot, almost every thing, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, choose only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further? 47. Which of the following might be the destination (目的地) of the author’s driving? A. A vacation spot. B. Her own home. C. A tourist centre. D. Her cousin’s farm. 48. What made the author keep criticizing herself in the beginning? A. That the vacation was below her expectations. B. That she wasn’t as good at using maps as before. C. That her cousin and daughter couldn’t get along. D. That lack of full preparations got her to lose her way. 49. The author felt really surprised because ______. A. she discovered a tourist spot unknown to the public B. her carelessness brought an unexpected pleasure C. she reached what she had planned to. D. the right route (路线) to her destination came out of nowhere 50. What does the story intend to tell us? A. Stay cool when you are trapped in trouble. B. Make a change for the purpose of survival. C. Be positive because there’s always a choice. D. Slow down your paces to enjoy beauty in life. 四、词汇运用（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） A）请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确 51.

The survey found children as young as eight were interested in news. However, the spread of wrong information makes it difficult for children to understand events. The survey also found only one-third of young people felt they could tell whether news they read was real or not. Here are what adults can do to help children critically (批判地) think about the news. To help decide if a source can be trusted they can ask the following questions. Is it clear who created this news? Viewers need to be able to ask the person or organization about why and how they created the story? Does it present facts straight or does it include opinions? If opinions are presented as facts, this may lead to wrong ideas. Does it include all the important people? If a story speaks up for organizations or groups of people, they should have the chance to reply to these opinions. Some media may make use of people’s feelings. Discussing how children feel about news helps them decide which news programs to watch. Research shows sensationalist (耸人听闻的) news titles can receive more clicks online. Adults can also talk to children why people spread wrong information, such as changing people’s mind on who to vote for or attracting more clicks. News media talk about events in different ways. Parents and teachers can help children be careful while reading stories. In some stories people can’t present their ideas honestly. In these cases, it’s best to find other news sources to consider how they are reporting the story. Discussing what children think of the news can help build their critical thinking skills. News that can be trusted is important to societies. People depend on it to help make decisions in lives. Seeing how wrong information is different from real news is a challenge for everyone at present. Listening to children’s experiences is a valuable starting point for improving their critical thinking abilities.

It tells us when dinner is almost ready and leads the way to sweet cakes. It also tells us to keep away from bad smells. But do you know the interesting facts about something that smells bad? Fish You might have noticed that fish smell unpleasant sometimes. Fish from the ocean smell the strongest. These saltwater fish have a chemical (化学物质) called TMAO. While we prepare fish for cooking, TMAO is already changing into other things. One is called TMA. It smells super smelly. Usually, before cooks make saltwater fish a dish, they wash fish. And most of the TMA can be washed away. Cooks also add lemon to make the fish less smelly. Feet Foot sweat (脚汗) itself does not have a bad smell at first. But it has food and water that the bacteria (细菌) need. With them, the bacteria give off some smell. Most shoes often keep sweat in them. That makes shoes and socks warm and wet—a place where bacteria can grow. Different types of bacteria give off different smells. That’s why feet may smell like bad vegetables, smelly eggs or other smelly things. Eggs Many things smell terrible when they go bad. But a bad egg gives off the most famous bad smell of all and draws people’s attention. When an egg goes bad, the bacteria help to change the sulfur (硫) in its white part into sulfur and hydrogen (硫化氢). And it smells really bad. The nose just warns us away from it because too much sulfur and hydrogen will harm our health. 36. How does the writer tell readers that something smells bad in the passage? A By showing forms. B. By listing numbers. C. By drawing pictures. D. By giving examples. 37. What can you learn from the passage? A. Different bacteria produce the same smell. B. A smelly egg gives off sulfur and hydrogen. C. Dry shoes and socks can help bacteria grow. D. Lemon increases the bad smell of saltwater fish. 38. Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A. Word History. B. Cooking Tips. C. Travel Guide. D. Fun Facts. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一些关于闻起来很难闻东西的有趣事实。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But do you know the interesting facts about something that smells bad?”可知，文章第一段介绍本文主题，一些闻起来很难闻的东西的有趣事实，接下来作者列举了鱼、脚以及变质的鸡蛋的味道，故作者通过举例子的方式介绍文章内容。故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When an egg goes bad, the bacteria help to change the sulfur (硫) in its white part into sulfur and hydrogen (硫化氢).”可知，臭鸡蛋会释放出硫和氢。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But do you know the interesting facts about something that smells bad?”及全文可知，本文介绍了一些关于闻起来很难闻的东西的有趣事实，故文章可能来源于“Fun Facts”版块。故选D。 B Pet parrots that are allowed to make video calls to other birds show signs of feeling less isolated, according to scientists. The study, which involved giving the birds a computer that they could use to make video calls, found that they began to engage in more social behaviors including preening, singing and playing. The birds were given a choice of which “friend” to call on a touchscreen computer and the study showed that the parrots that called other birds most often were the most popular choices. Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas, of the University of Glasgow and a co-author of the study, said that video calls had helped many people feel less isolated in the last few years. She added, “There are 20 million parrots living in people’s homes in the USA, and we wanted to explore whether those birds might benefit (受益) from video calling too. If we gave them the chance to call other parrots, would they choose to do so, and would the experience benefit the parrots and their caregivers?” Their study of 18 pet parrots suggested that there were, indeed, benefits for the birds. In the wild, many species of parrots live in large groups, but as pets they are, kept alone or in a small group. Living alone can cause birds, to develop mental problems, which include rocking, walking back and forth, or self-harming behaviors such as feather-plucking. The parrots first learned to ring a bell and then touch a photo of another bird on the screen of a computer to make a call to that bird, with the help of their owners. In total the birds made 147 calls to each other during the study, while owners took detailed notes on the birds’ behavior and the researchers later reviewed the video footage. Jennifer Cunha of Northeastern University said that the parrots “seemed to know” that they were communicating with other birds. “All the bird owners in the study said they valued the experience, and would want to continue using the system with their parrots in the future,” she said. “I was quite surprised at so many different behaviors,” said Hirskyj-Douglas. “Some would sing, some would play around and go upside down, others would want to show another bird their toys.” 39. The main purpose of the study is to find out _________. A. if parrots can learn to make video calls B. if parrots can benefit from video calling C. why parrots can have so many benefits D. why parrots can develop mental problems 40. What can we learn about the pet parrots? A. Their way to communicate is singing. B. Most of them used to live in large groups. C. The most popular ones made most calls. D. They can make video calls by themselves. 41. Which word has the closest meaning to “isolated”? A. amazed B. calm C. scared D. lonely 42. The following paragraph can best go after ________. Video calling could reproduce some of the social benefits of living in a group, according to Rébecca Kleinberger, of Northeastern University and first author of the study. A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 【答案】39. B 40. C 41. D 42. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍研究人员使用视频通话帮助宠物鹦鹉摆脱孤独。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“There are 20 million parrots living in people’s homes in the USA, and we wanted to explore whether those birds might benefit (受益) from video calling too.”可知，在美国，有2000万只鹦鹉生活在人们的家中，我们想探索一下这些鹦鹉是否也能从视频通话中受益。由此可知，这项研究的主要目的是找出鹦鹉是否能从视频通话中受益。故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“the study showed that the parrots that called other birds most often were the most popular choices”可知，研究表明，最常叫其他鸟类的鹦鹉是最受欢迎的选择。由此可知，最受欢迎的打了最多的电话。故选C。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。分析“Pet parrots that are allowed to make video calls to other birds show signs of feeling less isolated”可知，被允许与其他鸟类进行视频通话的宠物鹦鹉显示出感觉不那么孤立的迹象，此处isolated的意思是“孤立的”，故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。分析“Video calling could reproduce some of the social benefits of living in a group, according to Rébecca Kleinberger, of Northeastern University and first author of the study.东北大学的丽贝卡·克莱因伯格是这项研究的第一作者，她表示视频通话可以再现群体生活的一些社会效益。”可知，本句介绍的是该研究中视频通话的效益，与第四段结尾“Living alone can cause birds, to develop mental problems, which include rocking, walking back and forth, or self-harming behaviors such as feather-plucking.”语境相符，逻辑相连。故选D。 C How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of math or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to pay the bill after a meal, to calculating your household bills. But many are afraid the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem frightening, but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re certainly not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability. The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety (焦虑) to the students, and girls may be more likely to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got nervous doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University believes giving students, especially girls, good role models is critical, especially at a young age. She thinks the key is to get people, especially women, who love teaching maths to younger children. Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography. Because there’s no room for playing tricks in math tests, it makes you more worried about math. And once we think we’re not a math person, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.” Psychologists (心理学家) have been trying to work out why mental arithmetic (心算) can bring us out in a sweat. That fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their control on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Most importantly, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. 43. What is the author’s understanding of maths anxiety in Paragraph 1? A. It happens when people have to pay bills after a meal. B. It actually shows one’s poor performance in maths. C. Only students often suffer from this sense of worry. D. People normally have it when dealing with numbers. 44. What may cause students’ maths anxiety according to the research? A. The particular feature of maths. B. The fear of failure in maths tests. C. Students’ dislike of learning maths. D. Maths teachers lack of confidence. 45. What can we infer from David Robson’s words? A. Geography seldom causes worry. B. Slow students have maths worries. C. Dishonesty is difficult in maths tests. D. Maths students like number puzzles. 46. What is the best way to get over maths anxiety? A. Speaking out your fears in public. B. Inviting female maths teachers. C. Having a positive attitude to maths. D. Viewing a maths test as a challenge. 【答案】43. D 44. D 45. C 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了数学在我们身边无处不在，但很多人却有数学焦虑，这种恐惧可能有多种来源，告诉我们要积极看待数学。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It can seem frightening, but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re certainly not alone.”可知，数学焦虑发生在人们需要处理数字的时候，虽然听起来很可怕，但这是一种正常的现象。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the students, and girls may be more likely to be affected.”可知，在教学过程中感到紧张的数学老师会把他们的焦虑传递给学生。故选D。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Because there’s no room for playing tricks in math tests, it makes you more worried about math.”可知，在数学考试中没有耍花招的余地。故选C。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Most importantly, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.”可知，克服数学焦虑的最好方式是积极看待数学。故选C。 D I’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village? It should be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms (自我批评): Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think. Just then—WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from? Right there, out of nowhere, a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk (黄昏). I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day. How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all. We miss a lot, almost every thing, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, choose only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further? 47.

D. the right route (路线) to her destination came out of nowhere 50. What does the story intend to tell us? A. Stay cool when you are trapped in trouble. B. Make a change for the purpose of survival. C. Be positive because there’s always a choice. D. Slow down your paces to enjoy beauty in life. 【答案】47. B 48. D 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在度假的最后一天准备回家时，由于忘了带地图，在一条陌生的公路上开车，错过了向往的风景。由此作者感悟：我们在生活中不仅仅是要为了生存去完成生活中的各种任务，还应当对美的事物有所追求。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I’m rather good at using maps.
