Visitors can climb the dome for the city’s most distinctive rooftop views.(在铜圆顶的顶部是一尊罗马女神密涅瓦的青铜雕像。游客可以爬上圆顶，欣赏这座城市最独特的屋顶景色。)”可知，在米切尔图书馆，游客可以欣赏到格拉斯哥的屋顶景色。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The UK is home to 26 world-ranked universities of the top 200 globally. At the heart of each university is the library, a space for students to access resources, absorb knowledge and gather thoughts. Here are some of our must-visit libraries across the UK.(英国有26所大学进入全球前200名。每所大学的中心都是图书馆，这是学生获取资源、吸收知识和收集思想的空间。以下是我们在英国必去的一些图书馆)”可知，文章主要介绍了在英国必须要去的四个博物馆，可知在报纸的文化专栏中可能找到这篇文章。故选A。 B I walk into my teenage son's bedroom around 10 p.m. to say good night as I usually do. His soft blanket looks so inviting that I sit at the foot of his bed, and just watch him, lost in his new racing video game. He’s carefully chosen his car, customized the plates with his name, and is driving at least 150 km/h through a mountain range. Finishing the course with satisfaction, he turns to me and offers me the control. “Have a try?” “No, it's late. I just want to go to sleep.” It feels like I'm always tired these days, taking the role of doing more as my husband, limited by his brain disease, is forced to do less. My son and I are a team. We bolster each other in the unpredictability of our days. He needs my maturity and I need his youthfulness. It's how we survive. “C’mon. You sure?" He looks at me hopefully, wanting to share this part of his life with me. Catching his unspoken wish for connection，I honestly try my best to steer（操控）the car well on the screen. But he's looking at me like he doesn't understand how I can be so bad. He shakes his head while I'm laughing at the awkwardness of my performance. I hand back the control, defeat and happiness evident on my face. The tiredness of my day has left, replaced with the last signs of tears of laughter on my cheeks. I’m not sure if my son got what he wanted when he invited me to play. But when I think of that moment, and see his outstretched hand offering me his control, it was an offer I couldn’t refuse. Another shot at a win for this mother and son team driving their way through a life neither of them could’ve predicted. 4. What does the author’s son ask her to do that night? A. Play a video game. B. Show him how to drive. C. Watch a car race with him D. Evaluate his gaming skills. 5. What is the underlined word “bolster” in paragraph 2 closest in meaning to? A. Trust B. Entertain C. Forgive D. Support 6. How does the author’s son view her performance that night? A. Extremely boring. B. Really disappointing C. Highly promising. D. Surprisingly professional. 7. What can we say about the author from the last paragraph? A. She is good at parental control. B. She is quite open to persuasion. C. She gets a sense of satisfaction. D. She has more ups than downs in life. 主题语境：人与自我-生活 本文是记叙文。作者分享了自己和儿子一起玩视频游戏的经历，这种亲子互动增强了他们的情感纽带，让作者对自己和儿子相依为命的生活更有信心。 4．A。理解具体信息。根据第一段中的he turns to me and offers me the control.“Have a try？”可知，儿子转向作者， 给了她游戏手柄，问道：“要不要试试？”由此可知，儿子邀请作者玩一把他刚刚玩的游戏。 5．D。理解词汇。根据划线词上文中的My son and I are a team和下文中的unpredictability of our days 以及He needs my maturity and I need his youthfulness 可知， bolster在此语境中可以理解为“依赖，支持”。 6．B。理解观点、态度。根据倒数第二段中的But he’s looking at-me like he doesn't understand how I can be so bad. He shakes his head可知，儿子看着作者，不能理解作者为什么玩得那么糟糕，直摇头。由此推知，儿子认为作者的游戏玩得太让他失望了。 7．C。推断。根据文章最后一段中的Another shot at a win for this mother and son team driving their way through a life neither of them could’ve predicted可知，作者将那晚与儿子的互动看作是他俩相依为命的生活中的一次小小的胜利。因此，通过阅读最后一段可推知，作者获得了满足感。 【词汇链接】 1．plate（para. 1）：车牌，牌照 2．C’mon（para. 3）：come on的缩写，是英语口语中常用的一种表达方式。 C In nature, octopuses (章鱼) hunt mainly with their sense of touch, using their eight arms to feel out their environment for hidden creatures. Researchers at the University of Minnesota recently studied a different way octopuses hunt—when they identify prey (猎物) based on sight. The study findings show that the marine creatures are quite consistent and methodical in how they approach prey. Lead researcher Trevor Wardill and his team placed California two-spot octopuses into water tanks, hiding them in caves where they would have one eye looking out. They then placed either fiddler crabs or white shrimp in the tanks to see how the octopuses would try to catch them, capturing the interactions on video. The crabs and shrimp behave differently when trying to escape from predators (捕猎者), so using both species gave the researchers an opportunity to see whether this led the octopuses to use a different arm for hunting depending on the prey. Wardill’s team found that the octopuses almost always used the same arm to grab their prey. Specifically, the second arm from the middle of the octopuses’ body, on the same side of their body as the eye, caught the prey. If they needed more arms to grab prey, they would use the ones next to the second arm. The octopuses also attacked differently depending on the prey. When faced with crabs, an octopus would move suddenly on top of the crab with its whole body. However, when catching shrimp, the octopuses would take one arm and reach out very slowly toward the shrimp, then grab it and latch (缠住) onto it with its other arms to pull it in. Wardill and his team hope to do more research. They want to study the octopus’s brain as it attacks pre y to develop a better understanding of what role the creature’s nervous system plays in selecting the arms it uses. 8. What is the recent study mainly about? A. Octopuses’ ability to hide itself. B. Octopuses’ way to track prey. C. Octopuses’ hunting mode via eyes. D. Octopuses’ method of perceiving the environment. 9. What can we learn about the octopuses in the study? A. They adopt different strategies to hunt. B. They stretch arms slowly to catch crabs. C. They move suddenly to prey on shrimps. D. They use the second arm to catch prey anytime. 10. What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the octopuses? A. Whether they’re nervous in hunting. B. How their nerves work during hunting. C. How they choose their arms in hunting. D. Whether they use their brain during hunting. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Octopuses: Skillful Hunters B. Octopuses: One-armed Predators C. Octopuses: A Sharp-eyed Species D. Octopuses: A Mysterious Creature 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了最近的研究发现章鱼的狩猎技巧会因为猎物的不同而发生变化，解释了研究开展的经过以及未来研究的方向。 8. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers at the University of Minnesota recently studied a different way octopuses hunt—when they identify prey (猎物) based on sight.(明尼苏达大学的研究人员最近研究了章鱼捕猎的另一种方式——它们根据视觉来识别猎物)”可知，最近的研究主要关于章鱼通过眼睛的捕猎模式。故选C。 9. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The octopuses also attacked differently depending on the prey.(章鱼的攻击方式也因猎物的不同而不同)”可知，章鱼采用不同的捕猎策略。故选A。 10. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They want to study the octopus’s brain as it attacks pre y to develop a better understanding of what role the creature’s nervous system plays in selecting the arms it uses.(他们想研究章鱼攻击猎物时的大脑，以便更好地了解这种生物的神经系统在选择它使用的手臂时所起的作用)”可知，接下来的测试是为了了解章鱼的神经在狩猎时是如何工作的。故选B。 11. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In nature, octopuses (章鱼) hunt mainly with their sense of touch, using their eight arms to feel out their environment for hidden creatures. Researchers at the University of Minnesota recently studied a different way octopuses hunt—when they identify prey (猎物) based on sight. The study findings show that the marine creatures are quite consistent and methodical in how they approach prey.(在自然界中，章鱼主要用它们的触觉捕猎，用它们的八只手臂来感知周围环境，寻找隐藏的生物。明尼苏达大学的研究人员最近研究了章鱼捕猎的另一种方式——它们根据视觉来识别猎物。研究结果表明，海洋生物在接近猎物的方式上是相当一致和有条理的)”结合文章主要说明了最近的研究发现章鱼的狩猎技巧会因为猎物的不同而发生变化，解释了研究开展的经过以及未来研究的方向。故A选项“章鱼：熟练的猎手”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D When I was very young, my dad would always play music in the house. My three sisters and I would dance to Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. Whenever he played Tritsch-Tratsch Polka by Strauss, we would grab our skipping ropes and skip to the beat. We would request Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata when we were getting ready for bed. Listening to classical music was part of our daily routine. I eventually learned how to play the piano and my sisters learned how to play the recorder and guitar. After I had my own daughter, I was excited to introduce her to classical music. However, this excitement soon led to disappointment as no matter what piece I chose, she always found an excuse not to listen. Then one day in October, everything changed. My daughter came home from school and announced,“I want to dress up as a bumblebee (大黄蜂) for Halloween this year. Can you make me a costume, Mom?”Well，of course, I agreed to sew her a bumblebee costume. But at the same time, the bumblebee gave me an idea. I worked all week on the costume. On Halloween night, my daughter put the costume on and looked in the mirror. Her eyes lit up. She began making buzzing noises (嗡嗡声) - and I was ready.“Can you fly like a bumblebee?”I asked. As she began to buzz around the room, I quickly started playing Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov. As the fast-paced violin music began to play, my daughter buzzed around the room to the music. She never stopped moving. When the music came to its final bars, my daughter shouted, “Play it again, Mom!” So I played it once more. Since that Halloween night, classical music has become more prevalent (普遍的) in our household. Eventually, my daughter took up playing instruments. She learned how to play the violin and guitar. I still have that bumblebee costume. I have it stored away in a special box marked “Buzzworthy.” I hope to pass it on one day to my grandchildren and see what happens. 12. What does the author intend to show by mentioning the music works in paragraph 1? A. Their impact on her. B. Their lasting popularity. C. Her favorite classical music pieces. D. Her dad's vast collection of music records. 13. What is the underlined part “an idea” in paragraph 3 about? A. Teaching my daughter a bumblebee dance. B. Reintroducing classical music to my daughter. C. Making my daughter a nice bumblebee costume. D. Spending a meaningful Halloween with my daughter. 14. How did the daughter respond to Flight of the Bumblebee? A. Calmly. B. Hesitantly. C. Enthusiastically. D. Halfheartedly. 15. Why does the author keep the bumblebee costume? A. As evidence of her sewing skills. B. To let it play its magic on her grandkids. C. As a Halloween gift for her future grandkids. D. To remind her of a happy holiday experience. 12. A。推断。第一段提到各种音乐作品是为 了 引 出 本 段 最 后 一 句 话 I eventually learned how to play the piano and my sisters learned how to play the recorder and guitar，即在这些古典音乐作品的影响下， 作者和她的姐妹都爱上了音乐，并学会了弹奏乐器。 13. B。理解文章结构。根据第四、五段的内 容可知，作者在女儿穿上大黄蜂衣服后， 要求她模仿大黄蜂飞舞的样子，随即作者 开始播放《野蜂飞舞》，后来女儿彻底被这 首音乐作品打动，爱上了古典音乐。由此 可知，作者在同意制作大黄蜂衣服时，突然得到了灵感，这个灵感关于再次设法向女儿介绍古典音乐。 14. C。推断。根据第五段的内容可知，女儿 在听了《野蜂飞舞》后，开始跟着音乐欢快 地在房间里“飞”来“飞”去，并且要求作者 反复播放这首音乐，由此可推知，女儿以满腔的热情聆听了这首音乐。 15. B。推断。文章记述了作者通过一件大黄蜂的衣服让女儿喜欢上古典音乐的故事。 在最后一段中，作者谈到将这件衣服保留 下来，以后的某一天可以传给孙辈，看看会发生什么事情。由此可推知，作者保留 这件服装是期待它日后继续发挥魔力，引领孙辈进入古典音乐的魅力殿堂。 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。 How to Make Friends Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.

At the heart of each university is the library, a space for students to access resources, absorb knowledge and gather thoughts. Here are some of our must-visit libraries across the UK. The British Library, London Located in London, the British Library is home to over 170 million items. The collections offer a glimpse into literary heritage over the ages, from books to maps to manuscripts. Visitors can browse treasures including Leonardo da Vinci’s notebook. Students with a reading pass are known to spend hours at a time in the reading rooms. Bodleian Old Library, Oxford Dating back to 1488, the Bodleian Old Library has three notable reading rooms. It is celebrated for its late Gothic architecture. You may recognize the elaborately carved ceiling from scenes in Harry Potter. Students at the university automatically get access to the library. John Rylands Library, Manchester Opened in 1900, this library is part of the University of Manchester, one of the top five universities in the UK. This library offers limitless research potential for students. Whether you want to make use of the rich collections available, or simply explore the site, this library should be on everyone’s must-see list. The Mitchell Library, Glasgow The Mitchell Library is one of Glasgow’s most famous landmarks. On the top of the copper dome(圆屋顶) is a bronze statue of the Roman goddess, Minerva.

Entertainment B I walk into my teenage son's bedroom around 10 p.m. to say good night as I usually do. His soft blanket looks so inviting that I sit at the foot of his bed, and just watch him, lost in his new racing video game. He’s carefully chosen his car, customized the plates with his name, and is driving at least 150 km/h through a mountain range. Finishing the course with satisfaction, he turns to me and offers me the control. “Have a try?” “No, it's late. I just want to go to sleep.” It feels like I'm always tired these days, taking the role of doing more as my husband, limited by his brain disease, is forced to do less. My son and I are a team. We bolster each other in the unpredictability of our days. He needs my maturity and I need his youthfulness. It's how we survive. “C’mon. You sure?" He looks at me hopefully, wanting to share this part of his life with me. Catching his unspoken wish for connection，I honestly try my best to steer（操控）the car well on the screen. But he's looking at me like he doesn't understand how I can be so bad. He shakes his head while I'm laughing at the awkwardness of my performance. I hand back the control, defeat and happiness evident on my face. The tiredness of my day has left, replaced with the last signs of tears of laughter on my cheeks. I’m not sure if my son got what he wanted when he invited me to play. But when I think of that moment, and see his outstretched hand offering me his control, it was an offer I couldn’t refuse. Another shot at a win for this mother and son team driving their way through a life neither of them could’ve predicted. 4. What does the author’s son ask her to do that night? A. Play a video game. B. Show him how to drive. C. Watch a car race with him D. Evaluate his gaming skills. 5. What is the underlined word “bolster” in paragraph 2 closest in meaning to? A. Trust B. Entertain C. Forgive D. Support 6. How does the author’s son view her performance that night? A. Extremely boring. B. Really disappointing C. Highly promising. D. Surprisingly professional. 7. What can we say about the author from the last paragraph? A. She is good at parental control. B. She is quite open to persuasion. C. She gets a sense of satisfaction. D. She has more ups than downs in life. C In nature, octopuses (章鱼) hunt mainly with their sense of touch, using their eight arms to feel out their environment for hidden creatures. Researchers at the University of Minnesota recently studied a different way octopuses hunt—when they identify prey (猎物) based on sight. The study findings show that the marine creatures are quite consistent and methodical in how they approach prey. Lead researcher Trevor Wardill and his team placed California two-spot octopuses into water tanks, hiding them in caves where they would have one eye looking out. They then placed either fiddler crabs or white shrimp in the tanks to see how the octopuses would try to catch them, capturing the interactions on video. The crabs and shrimp behave differently when trying to escape from predators (捕猎者), so using both species gave the researchers an opportunity to see whether this led the octopuses to use a different arm for hunting depending on the prey. Wardill’s team found that the octopuses almost always used the same arm to grab their prey. Specifically, the second arm from the middle of the octopuses’ body, on the same side of their body as the eye, caught the prey. If they needed more arms to grab prey, they would use the ones next to the second arm. The octopuses also attacked differently depending on the prey. When faced with crabs, an octopus would move suddenly on top of the crab with its whole body. However, when catching shrimp, the octopuses would take one arm and reach out very slowly toward the shrimp, then grab it and latch (缠住) onto it with its other arms to pull it in. Wardill and his team hope to do more research. They want to study the octopus’s brain as it attacks pre y to develop a better understanding of what role the creature’s nervous system plays in selecting the arms it uses. 8. What is the recent study mainly about? A. Octopuses’ ability to hide itself. B. Octopuses’ way to track prey. C. Octopuses’ hunting mode via eyes. D. Octopuses’ method of perceiving the environment. 9. What can we learn about the octopuses in the study? A. They adopt different strategies to hunt. B. They stretch arms slowly to catch crabs. C. They move suddenly to prey on shrimps. D. They use the second arm to catch prey anytime. 10. What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the octopuses? A. Whether they’re nervous in hunting. B. How their nerves work during hunting. C. How they choose their arms in hunting. D. Whether they use their brain during hunting. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Octopuses: Skillful Hunters B. Octopuses: One-armed Predators C. Octopuses: A Sharp-eyed Species D. Octopuses: A Mysterious Creature D When I was very young, my dad would always play music in the house. My three sisters and I would dance to Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. Whenever he played Tritsch-Tratsch Polka by Strauss, we would grab our skipping ropes and skip to the beat. We would request Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata when we were getting ready for bed. Listening to classical music was part of our daily routine. I eventually learned how to play the piano and my sisters learned how to play the recorder and guitar. After I had my own daughter, I was excited to introduce her to classical music. However, this excitement soon led to disappointment as no matter what piece I chose, she always found an excuse not to listen. Then one day in October, everything changed. My daughter came home from school and announced,“I want to dress up as a bumblebee (大黄蜂) for Halloween this year. Can you make me a costume, Mom?”Well，of course, I agreed to sew her a bumblebee costume. But at the same time, the bumblebee gave me an idea. I worked all week on the costume. On Halloween night, my daughter put the costume on and looked in the mirror. Her eyes lit up. She began making buzzing noises (嗡嗡声) - and I was ready.“Can you fly like a bumblebee?”I asked. As she began to buzz around the room, I quickly started playing Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov. As the fast-paced violin music began to play, my daughter buzzed around the room to the music. She never stopped moving. When the music came to its final bars, my daughter shouted, “Play it again, Mom!” So I played it once more. Since that Halloween night, classical music has become more prevalent (普遍的) in our household. Eventually, my daughter took up playing instruments. She learned how to play the violin and guitar. I still have that bumblebee costume. I have it stored away in a special box marked “Buzzworthy.” I hope to pass it on one day to my grandchildren and see what happens. 12. What does the author intend to show by mentioning the music works in paragraph 1? A. Their impact on her. B. Their lasting popularity. C. Her favorite classical music pieces. D. Her dad's vast collection of music records. 13. What is the underlined part “an idea” in paragraph 3 about? A. Teaching my daughter a bumblebee dance. B. Reintroducing classical music to my daughter. C. Making my daughter a nice bumblebee costume. D. Spending a meaningful Halloween with my daughter. 14. How did the daughter respond to Flight of the Bumblebee? A. Calmly. B. Hesitantly. C. Enthusiastically. D. Halfheartedly. 15. Why does the author keep the bumblebee costume? A. As evidence of her sewing skills. B. To let it play its magic on her grandkids. C. As a Halloween gift for her future grandkids. D. To remind her of a happy holiday experience. 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。 How to Make Friends Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.
