I stood still as if my shoes had been glued to the floor. I had no intention of taking a cup of anything to anyone, supervisor or not. I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman. It happened to Mrs. Wilson next door. Old Mr. Wilson couldn’t put in his own false teeth without his wife’s assistance, let alone make himself lunch. It was a miserable union. I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her. I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves. I rushed to the file room and pulled my phone. I explained to my father what had happened and asked his advice on what to do, only to be asked back. He must have forgotten the unwritten rule between us about not answering a question with a question. Fortunately, I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds. I took up the files and headed for the coffee pot. I took two cups and made two cups of coffee. Then I walked into the boss’ office with a cup of coffee in each hand. I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him. “Let’s take a break,” partway through the meeting, my boss stood, saying. “I need more coffee.” I picked up my empty cup. “I do, too,” I said, and handed it to him across the table. “Thanks,” I added, looking at him expectantly. The boss was staggered for a moment, and then took the cup from me. When I finally left my boss’ office, I hid in the bathroom and called my dad. My father’s laughter on the phone made me feel even prouder. 4. Why does the author mention the Wilsons? A. To show how the couple grew old together. B. To picture what she will be like when she ages. C. To tell the story of the old couple. D. To explain her unwillingness to serve the coffee 5. What did the author mean by bringing two cups of coffee to meet the boss? A. She meant to share instead of serving B. She planned to have the boss serve her later. C. She intended to play a trick on her mean boss D. She wanted to save the trouble of doing it again 6. What does the underlined word “staggered” mean in the sixth paragraph? A. Annoyed. B. Shocked. C. Confused. D. Excited. 7. What can we learn about the author from the text? A. She figured out how to show respect for her superior. B. She found it practical to seek solutions from her father. C. She took a sensible approach to standing up for herself. D. She considered it significant to fight against men bravely. C Most people think that weeds are something to be pulled up and thrown away. Now, purslane (马齿苋) may be the key to creating drought resistant crops in a world that is getting warmer. Scientists at Yale University found that purslane can create a new form of photosynthesis (光合作用) that allows this weed to endure drought conditions. “This is a very rare ‘super plant’ — one that could be potentially useful in crop engineering.” said Edwards, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. Purslane actually enhances its photosynthesis efficiency to match the high levels found in plants like corn, which enables it to maintain productivity under high temperatures. On the other hand, this plant employs a special way of photosynthesis. It stores carbon dioxide at night and uses it during the day, which makes it remarkably resistant to heat. The uniqueness of purslane lies in these two characteristics. Yale team conducted an analysis of the genes in the leaves of the plant and found that they are totally integrated and operate in the same cells. Understanding how this works could allow scientists to engineer main crops like corn to resist long-lasting droughts. Growing across the US, purslane has small round leaves, and red, yellow, or pink flowers. You can plant it in your garden just about anywhere. With its sour-salty taste, it is a healthy food rich in vitamins, minerals, and Omega-3s. You can enjoy it raw in salads or cooked as a dish. “In terms of engineering the plant into a crop like corn, there is still a lot of work to do before that could become a reality,” Edwards said in the news release. Finding and growing new food crops that can survive the effects of climate change is a win-win for a planet that is getting hotter and drier. Who knew this common weed could be the key? 8. What makes purslane a “super plant” according to Paragraph 2? A. Its unique taste and color. B. Its ability to grow anywhere. C. Its high capacity in storing water. D. Its uncommon way of photosynthesis. 9. What is the advantage of purslane’s storing carbon dioxide at night? A. Increasing its productivity. B. Helping it to resist drought. C. Allowing it to grow faster. D. Reducing its need for sunlight. 10. What can we learn about purslane as food? A. It is rich in nutrition. B. It is not widely accepted. C. It is not suitable in salads. D. It is mainly cooked as a dish. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To promote the planting of purslane. B. To warn readers of the danger of the weed. C. To describe different types of photosynthesis. D. To show purslane’s potential in crop engineering. D Chimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time. From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland. Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “move closer,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning. and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning. Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the technique needed to increase the chances of success. “Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ” 12. Chimps slap the objects to____________. A. tell others to stop what they are doing B. ask others chimps to join them C. gather other chimps to move closer D. encourage interactions to start 13. What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips? A. Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals. B. Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa. C. Language-trained individuals do well in natural communication. D. Chimps’earliest gestures appear around 10 months of age. 14. How is the last paragraph developed? A. By analyzing causes. B. By examining differences. C. By making comparisons. D. By following time order. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A New Research on Chimps B. Human Children and Chimps C. Getting the Chimps Trained for Language D. Translating the Sign Language of Chimps 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news.

I stood still as if my shoes had been glued to the floor. I had no intention of taking a cup of anything to anyone, supervisor or not. I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman. It happened to Mrs. Wilson next door. Old Mr. Wilson couldn’t put in his own false teeth without his wife’s assistance, let alone make himself lunch. It was a miserable union. I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her. I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves. I rushed to the file room and pulled my phone. I explained to my father what had happened and asked his advice on what to do, only to be asked back. He must have forgotten the unwritten rule between us about not answering a question with a question. Fortunately, I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds. I took up the files and headed for the coffee pot. I took two cups and made two cups of coffee. Then I walked into the boss’ office with a cup of coffee in each hand. I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him. “Let’s take a break,” partway through the meeting, my boss stood, saying. “I need more coffee.” I picked up my empty cup. “I do, too,” I said, and handed it to him across the table. “Thanks,” I added, looking at him expectantly. The boss was staggered for a moment, and then took the cup from me. When I finally left my boss’ office, I hid in the bathroom and called my dad. My father’s laughter on the phone made me feel even prouder. 4. Why does the author mention the Wilsons? A. To show how the couple grew old together. B. To picture what she will be like when she ages. C. To tell the story of the old couple. D. To explain her unwillingness to serve the coffee 5.

I stood still as if my shoes had been glued to the floor. I had no intention of taking a cup of anything to anyone, supervisor or not. (我没有回应。我一动不动地站着，仿佛我的鞋子被粘在了地板上。我从没想过要给任何人倒一杯，不管是不是主管。)”、第三段“I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman. It happened to Mrs. Wilson next door. Old Mr. Wilson couldn’t put in his own false teeth without his wife’s assistance, let alone make himself lunch. It was a miserable union. I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her. I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves. (我亲眼看到了这种行为对一个女人的影响。这件事发生在隔壁的威尔逊太太身上。没有妻子的帮助，老威尔逊连自己的假牙都装不上，更别说给自己做午饭了。这是一个悲惨的结合。我八岁时就发誓，我永远不会像她那样生活。我的座右铭是：不要帮助那些不会帮助自己的人。)”可知，作者提到威尔逊夫妇是解释她不愿意倒咖啡的原因，因为她不想违背自己座右铭。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves. (我的座右铭是：不要帮助那些不会帮助自己的人。)”和第五段中的“Then I walked into the boss’ office with a cup of coffee in each hand. I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him. ( 然后我走进老板的办公室，两只手各拿了一杯咖啡。我递给老板一杯咖啡，和他同时喝了起来)”可知，作者带两杯咖啡去见老板是表明她想分享而不是服务。故选A。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文““I do, too,” I said, and handed it to him across the table. “Thanks,” I added, looking at him expectantly.(“我也是。”我说着，隔着桌子递给了他。“谢谢。”我补充道，期待地看着他。)”可知，老板没想到作者会让自己去倒咖啡，这使他很震惊。所以staggered意为“震惊的”。A. Annoyed生气的；B. Shocked震惊的；C. Confused困惑的；D. Excited兴奋的。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第四段中“Fortunately, I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds. (幸运的是，我想出了一个两全其美的主意)”可知，文章讲述了作者在不违背自己座右铭的前提下，完美地解决了老板要作者倒咖啡的事情。作者用明智的方法来维护了自己的原则。故选C。 C Most people think that weeds are something to be pulled up and thrown away. Now, purslane (马齿苋) may be the key to creating drought resistant crops in a world that is getting warmer. Scientists at Yale University found that purslane can create a new form of photosynthesis (光合作用) that allows this weed to endure drought conditions. “This is a very rare ‘super plant’ — one that could be potentially useful in crop engineering.” said Edwards, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. Purslane actually enhances its photosynthesis efficiency to match the high levels found in plants like corn, which enables it to maintain productivity under high temperatures. On the other hand, this plant employs a special way of photosynthesis. It stores carbon dioxide at night and uses it during the day, which makes it remarkably resistant to heat. The uniqueness of purslane lies in these two characteristics. Yale team conducted an analysis of the genes in the leaves of the plant and found that they are totally integrated and operate in the same cells. Understanding how this works could allow scientists to engineer main crops like corn to resist long-lasting droughts. Growing across the US, purslane has small round leaves, and red, yellow, or pink flowers. You can plant it in your garden just about anywhere. With its sour-salty taste, it is a healthy food rich in vitamins, minerals, and Omega-3s. You can enjoy it raw in salads or cooked as a dish. “In terms of engineering the plant into a crop like corn, there is still a lot of work to do before that could become a reality,” Edwards said in the news release. Finding and growing new food crops that can survive the effects of climate change is a win-win for a planet that is getting hotter and drier. Who knew this common weed could be the key? 8. What makes purslane a “super plant” according to Paragraph 2? A. Its unique taste and color. B. Its ability to grow anywhere. C. Its high capacity in storing water. D. Its uncommon way of photosynthesis. 9. What is the advantage of purslane’s storing carbon dioxide at night? A. Increasing its productivity. B. Helping it to resist drought. C. Allowing it to grow faster. D. Reducing its need for sunlight. 10. What can we learn about purslane as food? A. It is rich in nutrition. B. It is not widely accepted. C. It is not suitable in salads. D. It is mainly cooked as a dish. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To promote the planting of purslane. B. To warn readers of the danger of the weed. C. To describe different types of photosynthesis. D. To show purslane’s potential in crop engineering. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了马齿苋这种看似普通的野草，在应对全球变暖、干旱等环境问题中的潜在价值，包括其独特的光合作用方式、耐旱特性以及作为健康食品的营养价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Scientists at Yale University found that purslane can create a new form of photosynthesis (光合作用) that allows this weed to endure drought conditions. “This is a very rare ‘super plant’ — one that could be potentially useful in crop engineering.” said Edwards, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.(耶鲁大学的科学家发现马齿苋可以创造一种新的光合作用形式，使这种杂草能够忍受干旱条件。“这是一种非常罕见的‘超级植物’——一种在作物工程中可能有用的植物。”生态学和进化生物学教授爱德华兹说)”可知，耶鲁大学的科学家发现马齿苋能够进行一种新的光合作用方式，使得这种野草能够在干旱条件下生存。这种独特的光合作用方式使得马齿苋成为一种“超级植物”，具有潜在的作物工程应用价值。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Yale team conducted an analysis of the genes in the leaves of the plant and found that they are totally integrated and operate in the same cells. Understanding how this works could allow scientists to engineer main crops like corn to resist long-lasting droughts. (耶鲁大学的研究小组对植物叶片中的基因进行了分析，发现它们是完全整合的，并在同一个细胞中运作。了解这一原理可以让科学家改造玉米等主要作物来抵御长期干旱)”可知，马齿苋能够在夜间储存二氧化碳，并在白天使用这些储存的二氧化碳进行光合作用的能力使得马齿苋能够比其他植物更能抵抗干旱。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Growing across the US, purslane has small round leaves, and red, yellow, or pink flowers. You can plant it in your garden just about anywhere. With its sour-salty taste, it is a healthy food rich in vitamins, minerals, and Omega-3s. You can enjoy it raw in salads or cooked as a dish.(马齿苋生长在美国各地，长着小而圆的叶子，开着红色、黄色或粉红色的花。你可以把它种在花园里的任何地方。它的酸味咸味，是一种富含维生素、矿物质和Omega-3s的健康食品。你可以把它放在沙拉里生吃，也可以做菜吃)”可知，马齿苋是一种健康食品，富含维生素、矿物质和Omega-3s。这说明马齿苋在营养方面非常丰富。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““In terms of engineering the plant into a crop like corn, there is still a lot of work to do before that could become a reality,” Edwards said in the news release.(“就把这种植物改造成玉米这样的作物而言，在它成为现实之前，还有很多工作要做，”Edwards在新闻发布会上说)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了马齿苋这种植物具有一种独特的光合作用方式，使得它在干旱条件下能够生存，并且这种能力在作物工程中具有潜在的应用价值。因此，文章的主要目的是展示马齿苋在作物工程中的潜力。故选D。 D Chimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time. From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland. Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “move closer,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning. and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning. Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the technique needed to increase the chances of success. “Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ” 12. Chimps slap the objects to____________. A. tell others to stop what they are doing B. ask others chimps to join them C. gather other chimps to move closer D. encourage interactions to start 13. What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips? A. Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals. B. Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa. C. Language-trained individuals do well in natural communication. D. Chimps’earliest gestures appear around 10 months of age. 14. How is the last paragraph developed? A. By analyzing causes. B. By examining differences. C. By making comparisons. D. By following time order. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A New Research on Chimps B. Human Children and Chimps C. Getting the Chimps Trained for Language D. Translating the Sign Language of Chimps 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员相信他们已经翻译了黑猩猩群体中使用的关键手势，并首次确定了它们的意图。文章详细介绍了这项关于翻译黑猩猩手语的研究过程以及研究的发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them.(其他手势包括跺脚是为了让另一只黑猩猩停止它们正在做的事情，拍打物体是为了让另一只跟随它们)”可知，黑猩猩拍打这些物体是为了邀请其他黑猩猩加入。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication.(有充分的证据表明，在类人猿中，受过语言训练的个体有能力获取和理解信号，但这在它们自然的交流中远远不够清晰)”可知，研究人员在研究了471个视频片段后发现受过语言训练的黑猩猩善于理解信号。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ”(研究人员解释说：“人类儿童在说出第一个单词之前就使用手势进行交流，他们最早的手势通常出现在10个月大的时候。有充分的证据表明，在类人猿中，受过语言训练的个体有能力获取和理解信号，但这在它们自然的交流中远远不够清晰。”)”可推知，最后一段是通过比较展开的。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Chimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time. (黑猩猩用响亮的叫声和手势来表达它们的情感，但直到现在，单个动作的确切含义仍然是一个谜。 现在，研究人员相信他们已经翻译了黑猩猩群体中使用的关键手势，并首次确定了它们的意图)”结合文章详细介绍了这项关于翻译黑猩猩手语的研究过程以及研究的发现。可知，D选项“翻译黑猩猩的手语”最符合文章标题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news.
