Fischer knew who did that.Since 2013, the red squirrel has been hiding walnuts in his truck every two years when his neighbor's tree produces walnuts.Fischer said last year's walnut collection was the most the squirrel had ever filled in the hood of his truck. Every walnut season, Fischer had to empty the hood of his truck and gave the walnuts away.“The squirrel will sit in the tree and watch me clean up the nuts almost like, ‘That's mine, friend，’ as it's watching me clean up his winter storage，” Fischer said. Fischer also said the squirrel overlooked other cars.“There are other cars very close to that tree, and it's always my truck，” he said.“I've even parked purposely out on the street—as far away as I can from the walnut tree—but it still finds my truck and hides them there.” “It's very possible that this funny squirrel considers Bill Fischer's truck to be part of its home，” Aliperti said, who led a study that found that ground squirrels' personalities are tied to risk-taking.Aliperti added that the hood of a truck is a perfect hiding place to a squirrel because it's concealed and dry.Since the squirrel has taken over Fischer's truck again and again, while Bill has thrown the walnuts away year by year, Aliperti laughed and said this one might be very forgetful. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/人与动物。本文为记叙文，主要讲述了北达科他州的一名男子和一只松鼠的故事。 24．What trouble did the squirrel cause for Bill Fischer? A．Storing walnuts in his truck. B．Building a home in his truck. C．Opening walnuts in his truck. D．Breaking the hood of his truck. 答案　A 解析　 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，松鼠给比尔·费舍尔带来的麻烦是在他的卡车里储存核桃，故选A项。 25．How were the walnuts dealt with by Fischer? A．They were returned to the squirrel.

B．The truck is the closest to the tree. C．The truck is considered as its home. D．The truck is convenient for transporting walnuts. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据末段首句阿利珀蒂的说法，之所以松鼠会把核桃藏在比尔的卡车里是因为松鼠把卡车视作它的家，故选C项。 27．What does the underlined word “concealed” in the last paragraph mean? A．Open. B.Quiet. C．Large. D.Secret. 答案　D 解析　词句猜测题。根据画线词上文可知，这个地方是完美的藏身之处，即这个地方是隐蔽的，所以推测画线词意为“隐蔽的；秘密的”，故选D项。 As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think about Steven Spielberg's Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks.The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem.Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days.Thanks to good public policy, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool. The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks to die out, up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins.But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu. In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years.These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins. Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products.These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life.Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business.Thus, together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/环境保护。本文为说明文。人们意识到了鲨鱼对于保持生态平衡的重要性，并开始采取行动保护日益减少的鲨鱼。 28．What's the main reason for killing sharks? A．Shark fins are in great need. B．Killing sharks is a great experience. C．Sharks always make people so afraid. D．Sharks break the balance of ecosystem. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段首句可知，人们捕杀鲨鱼主要是因为对鱼翅的需求极大，故选A项。 29．What does the underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Protect.　　　　　　 B.Maintain. C．Increase. D.Change. 答案　D 解析　词句猜测题。画线词上一句提到鲨鱼面临灭绝的危险，画线词所在句中的But表示转折，结合下一段首句可知，鲨鱼得到了保护，说明已经改变了以前的状况，所以此处reverse意为“改变”，故选D项。 30．What might be a best way to stop killing animals according to the passage? A．Setting some larger areas aside for reserves. B．Transporting endangered animals to safe places. C．Stopping selling and purchasing animals products. D．Promoting the importance of animals in public media. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据文章内容，结合第四段和最后一段倒数第二句可知，人们大肆捕杀动物主要是为了获得利润，所以停止销售和购买动物产品可能是阻止捕杀动物的最好方法，故选C项。 31．What is the text mainly about? A．The profits coming from sharks. B．The real reason for sharks' disappearance. C．The efforts to protect sharks. D．The impact of the declining number of sharks. 答案　C 解析　主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是人们意识到了鲨鱼对于保持生态平衡的重要性，并开始采取行动保护日益减少的鲨鱼，故选C项。 Have you ever wondered what wild animals do when no one is watching? Low cost, dependable and small modern cameras offered a big help.Cameras placed in hard-to-reach places have shot everything from small desert cats to larger snow-lowing cats in the northern Rocky Mountains.Scientists have been able to document the “private” moments of wildlife with leading technology. Grant Harris is a government biologist with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in Albuquerque, New Mexico.In his words, “there's no doubt that these wild cameras are important tools to learn new information on wildlife.” Harris said some images help scientists see the influences of climate(气候) change. Researchers with the Wyoming Migration Initiative, or WMI, are among those using wild cameras along with global positioning systems, or GPS.But WMI director Matthew Kauffman says as those devices(设备) are limited, so is the amount of information they can gather.However, cameras can be left in very wild areas for days, weeks or even months.They can provide information on how many animals are moving over a given period of time. Putting those cameras in place requires careful planning.Wild video can show details about animal behavior.However, wild cameras have their problems too.Animals such as wolverines and bears sometimes attack them.Scientists do not know if the attacks are the result of anger or interest.Also, the devices have become popular tools to help hunters look for animals.Some people argue that it is unfair to use the cameras that way. Even with such problems, wild cameras are clearly an important scientific tool in researching wild animals. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/科学技术。本文为说明文，介绍了一种新型的用来研究野生动物的野外摄像机以及它的使用所带来的问题。 32．What does the underlined word “document” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Remind. B.Enrich. C．Produce. D.Record. 答案　D 解析　词句猜测题。根据上文可知，这种新型的摄像机拍摄到很多动物，从沙漠中的小型猫科动物到落基山脉北部的大型雪地猫科动物。由此推断，科学家们是利用这种新型摄像机记录了野生动物的生活，此处document意为“记录”，与record意近，故选D项。 33．Which is a disadvantage of wild cameras? A．They cannot be left in the wild over a long period. B．They cannot be placed in hard-to-reach areas. C．They provide limited information. D．They might be stolen by people. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知，WMI的主管Matthew Kauffman说，由于这些设备是有限的，所以它们可以收集的信息量也是有限的。由此可知，野外摄像机的缺点是它能够提供的信息是有限的，故选C项。 34．Why do some people argue against using wild cameras? A．It is difficult to fix the cameras. B．It helps hunters find animals easily. C．It is hard to achieve careful planning. D．It makes animals interested in the cameras. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后两句可知，野外摄像机已经成为帮助猎人寻找动物的流行工具。有些人认为那样使用摄像机是不公平的。由此可知，有些人反对使用野外摄像机是因为它帮助猎人很容易地找到动物，故选B项。 35．What is the author's attitude towards wild cameras? A．Doubtful. B.Supporting. C．Uncertain. D.Uninterested. 答案　B 解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，作者认为即使野外摄像机存在这些问题，但它显然是研究野生动物的重要科学工具。由此可推断出，作者对野外摄像机的态度是“支持的”，故选B项。 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。 The sixth mass extinction is not a worry for the future.It's happening now, much faster than expected before, and it's entirely our fault, according to a study published Monday. Humans have already wiped out hundreds of species and pushed many more to the edge(边缘) of extinction through wildlife trade, pollution and habitat loss.　36　 Gerardo Ceballos Gonzalez, a professor of ecology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, said approximately 173 species died out between 2001 and 2014, which is 25 times more extinct species than you would expect under the normal, background, extinction speed. 　37　 There have been five mass extinction events in the Earth's history, each wiping out between 70% and 95% of the species of plants, animals and microorganisms.The most recent, 66 million years ago, saw dinosaurs disappear. The past events were caused by terrible changes of the environment.The sixth mass extinction—the one happening now—is different：it's caused by humans. 　38　 But it took millions of years to restore(恢复) the number of species. When one species in the ecosystem disappears, it destroys the entire ecosystem and pushes other species toward destruction.　39　 Hundreds of species of frogs are suffering population decrease and extinctions because of the chytrid fungus(真菌) disease, which is sometimes spread into new areas by humans.Climate change is likely making it worse. 　40　 The researchers also said the current situation shows how the carelessness with which people treat the natural world can backfire badly. The researchers said this data highlights the urgency(紧急) with which the world needs to act.Later this year, the UN Convention on Biological Diversity is expected to set new global goals to fight the ongoing biodiversity(生物多样性) problem in the coming decades. A．Mass extinctions are just as serious as their name suggests. B．This interdependency(相互依存) of different species is bad news for humans, too. C．But the speed at which species are dying out has quickened up in recent decades. D．We humans are destroying the biodiversity of the world we evolved into. E．Life on Earth has recovered after each of these events. F．The researchers use amphibians(两栖动物) as an example of this phenomenon. G．Many species have evolved to deal with climate changes. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/人与动植物。本文为说明文，介绍第六次大灭绝的到来。由于野生动物贸易、污染和栖息地的丧失，人类已经消灭了数百种物种，并将更多物种推向灭绝的边缘…… 36．答案　C 解析　对比关系。由于野生动物贸易、污染和栖息地的丧失，人类已经消灭了数百种物种，并将更多物种推向灭绝的边缘。C项中的dying out has quickened up与上文中的wiped out hundreds of species and pushed…extinction相吻合，故选C项。 37．答案　A 解析　例证关系。根据下文(地球历史上曾经发生过五次大灭绝事件，每次都有70%到95%的植物、动物和微生物灭绝)可知，A项(大灭绝正如字面上所暗示的那样严重)中的Mass extinctions与下文的five mass extinction events相呼应，故选A项。 38．答案　E 解析　转折关系。根据下文可知，物种数量的恢复却花费了数百万年的时间，E项(在这些事件之后，地球上的生命已经恢复)中的recovered与下文中的to restore一致，故选E项。 39．答案　F 解析　例证关系。根据上文(当生态系统中的一个物种消失时，它会破坏整个生态系统，并将其他物种推向毁灭)可知， F项(研究人员以两栖动物为例来说明这一现象)是用一个例子解释上文中所说的现象，故选F项。 40．答案　B 解析　并列关系。研究人员还表示，目前的境况表明，人们对待自然世界的粗心会严重适得其反。由此可知， B项(不同物种之间的相互依赖对人类来说也是个坏消息)中的bad news for humans与下文的backfire badly相呼应，故选B项。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节， 满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分， 满分15分) 阅读下面短文， 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After nearly thirty years of forced performance in a traveling circus(马戏团), a 34-year-old Asian elephant named Bo finally arrived at his new forever home at an elephant reserve.He is now 　41　 to go where he wants on a 7-acre habitat, eat when he 　42　, and walk or play as much as he likes. Located in southwestern Georgia, the reserve has just the right climate to 　43　 Bo and up to nine more captive-born(圈养出生的) elephants to live outside year-round and 　44　 their “elephantness”．As a captive elephant, Bo 　45　 most of his life on a one-acre piece of land in Missouri, when not 　46　 with the circus. Although his 　47　 will be limited to the 7-acre habitat at first for a few months of adaptation, he then will be 　48　 to live in a 100-acre area of grassland, woods, and pools.Retired Bo, a(n) 　49　 elephant in the prime(壮年) of his life, to a reserve sets a new example for how circus elephants can 　50　 their lives.For the first time in his life, he can do as he pleases. In the weeks leading up to Bo's 　51　, people in the reserve worked to 　52　 the fence(栅栏)．As a male elephant in the prime of his life, Bo is 　53　 large and strong. To our joy, now Bo has been freed from the 　54　 of circus life, but many other elephants are not as 　55　. 41．A．proud B.busy C.afraid D.free 42．A.walks B.wishes C.rests D.agrees 43．A.enable B.force C.invite D.cause 44．A.remove B.reduce C．recover D.register 45．A.began B.spent C．improved D.wasted 46．A.exchanging B.dealing C．hunting D.touring 47．A.movements B.livings C．purposes D.memories 48．A.limited B.believed C．allowed D.found 49．A.working B.existing C．promising D.performing 50．A.slow down B.come to C．live out D.think about 51．A.arrival B.revival C．survival D.proposal 52．A.break B.strengthen C．paint D.jump 53．A.possibly B.never C．quite D.hardly 54．A.suffering B.investigation C．impression D.adventure 55．A.unusual B.lucky C．clever D.large 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/人与动物。本文为记叙文，讲述了一头从马戏团退役的大象在保护区得到了自由的故事。 41．答案　D 解析　这头名为Bo的大象曾经跟着马戏团被迫表演，没有自由。现在终于来到大象保护区，可以自由(free)行走。 42．答案　B 解析　呼应上文wants，此处指这头大象想(wish)吃就吃，想玩儿就玩儿。 43．答案　A 解析　根据语境可知，这个保护区能够让(enable)Bo以及其他九头圈养的大象在野外生存。此处指这个保护区具有的能力。enable表示“使……能够做某事”。 44．答案　C 解析　这些大象曾被圈养，失去了大象的特点，现在让它们在野外生存会让它们恢复(recover)大象的特征。 45．答案　B 解析　作为一头圈养的大象，Bo在没有演出的时候大部分时间在一个一英亩大的地方度过(spend)。 46．答案　D 解析　第一段中交代，Bo在一个流动马戏团表演，所以巡回演出(tour)是常态。此处指当没有巡回演出的时候，Bo的大部分时间是在一个一英亩大的地方度过的。 47．答案　A 解析　虽然在最初的几个月里，它的活动(movement)将被限制在7英亩的栖息地，但之后它将被允许(allow)生活在100英亩的草地、树林和水池中。 48．答案　C 解析　参见上题解析。be allowed to do sth.被允许做某事，为固定搭配。 49．答案　D 解析　本句是对Bo一生的总结，表示“Bo曾是一头参加演出的(performing)大象”。 50．答案　C 解析　Bo是一头正值壮年的表演大象，让它退休到保护区，为马戏团大象如何度过余生树立了新的榜样。slow down减速；come to想起；live out度过余生；think about认真考虑，故选C项。 51．答案　A 解析　根据后半句可知，人们加固栅栏应是在Bo到来(arrival)之前进行的。 52．答案　B 解析　作为一头正值壮年的雄性大象，Bo的体型非常(quite)庞大且强壮，很可能跑掉，所以人们要加固栅栏。strengthen表示“加强，增强”。 53．答案　C 解析　参见上题解析。 54．答案　A 解析　句意：让我们高兴的是，现在Bo已经从马戏团生活的痛苦(suffering)中解脱出来，但许多其他大象就没有这么幸运了(lucky)。 55．答案　B 解析　参见上题解析。 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分， 满分15分) 阅读下面短文， 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 I paid a visit to Tibet to observe Tibetan antelopes.While 　56　(watch) them move slowly across the green grass, I was reminded of their bad old days.

Yet, the first few weeks slipped away quickly，and no one seemed to be starting their jobs—probably because they were tired by their studies, or they were simply not in the mood.I was worried that we might present a bad Spain because of our slow progress.After telling other members in Group Spain about my worries and encouraging them to make preparations, we finally started the preparation work. When we made preparations for the fair, I received a message from Stan.“How many cups of drink do you plan to prepare？”He asked.Maybe forty？I wasn't sure.I asked the group members in charge of the planning about the number of people who would be at the fair, but they said they didn't know.Out of other solutions, I answered Stan with my count and explained that I might need to confirm(确定) with the organizer of the fair to know the exact number. Then one day later, another demand came, “By the way, can you tell me the price for the food？” Sending him the rough price of the food, I frowned.This was supposed to be the task of others.Why did I have to do it? Again, for the progress of our group, I did not think much. Then came the third, “I mean I need specific numbers, the unit price for each, and the total cost.Make a table and list all the things, will you？” Before I could do the market research for him, the fourth appeared.I tried to hold my manner as I felt rather dissatisfied when I realized that he was assigning(分派) others' jobs to me.“That's it.Enough is enough，” I said to myself. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 One possible version： Having carefully chosen language, I went forward.I told him I had done enough to his benefit, and that I wouldn't argue for all the tasks I had already done.I stated my point clearly.I told him I was just worried about the success of the group work and therefore said a few words to encourage other group members to start working.But that didn't mean I became responsible for the entire process of the preparation. After hearing all those words, Stan said he understood my point and admitted his mistakes.He apologized to me and offered to help me with cooking on the day of the fair.As a leader, he took on his responsibility, sending messages to every member of the group and asking them to change their attitude to the fair.Realizing their wrong attitude towards the fair, all the group members did their job to make preparations.When that day came, we presented the cooking of Spain together successfully. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
