“I never could have imagined this is how my life could turn out,” says Melody Mnisi. “Now it’s my dream to introduce young people to nature and to inspire young African women like me to believe anything is possible.” Melody is a 23-year-old South African and has just qualified as a field guide. Despite growing up very close to Kruger National Park, a world-famous safari (游猎) destination, she never had the chance to see or enjoy its wildlife. “This was something for white people, not poor black people like me,” she says. “I always wondered what was on the other side of the fence.” But everything changed for Melody when she completed a Wild Shots Outreach (WSO) photography course, learning how to use a camera and going on her first-ever game drive. “I could not believe my eyes, seeing all this wildlife and capturing my memories and stories,” she says. “It is such an honor to be in nature.”
WSO is the educational outreach arm of Wild Shots, a photography conference in Africa that ran for nine years prior to 2020. Its aim is to engage disadvantaged young Africans in wildlife conservation through photography and by providing an introduction to the natural world, helping to nurture (培育) the conservationists of tomorrow.
The initiative came about in 2015 and was the passion project of Mike Kendrick, a life-science teacher and photographer. Moving to the Greater Kruger area to live in the bush, Mike was discouraged to see the lack of engagement between young South Africans and their natural environment. Not only that, in six years of helping to run Wild Shots, he did not come across a single wildlife, landscape or outdoor photographer of color in South Africa.
4. What can we learn about Melody Mnisi?
A. She helped set up WSO. B. She was born a photographer.
C. She was grateful to be a field guide. D. She shared photos of wildlife online.
5. What has changed Melody’s life?

D. Her curiosity about the safari destination.
6. Which is among the reasons why WSO is held?
A. To raise money. B. To prevent illegal hunting.
C. To stop wildlife trade. D. To nurture wildlife protectors.
7. What might be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. Comments from Melody. B. The promotion of WSO.
C. Poor life of South Africans. D. The details of photographs taking,
C
For many people, the cruelest part of daily life is the transition between wakefulness and sleep. When you should be sleeping, you want to be awake; when you should be awake, you want to stay asleep. It is easy to regard sleep as a torment: hard to attain and then hard to give up, day after day.
It is no major revelation to most people that enough sleep improves well-being. One recent study of more than 30000 UK residents found that people who increased their quantity of sleep over a four-year period got about the same happiness benefits as they would have from eight weeks of treatment, or from winning up to $280,000 in a lottery. Well-rested people are more social and have more positive emotional experiences with co-workers and romantic partners. Sleep loss, however, lowers happiness by degrading emotional-memory recall and encouraging a negative mindset, which results in depressive working atmosphere and poor interpersonal relationship.
If all of this seems obvious, why don’t we sleep more? Physical conditions, poor sleep habits, work, stress, and young kids are all common barriers to proper sleep. However, another barrier comes purely from within, when we simply put off going to bed because we are doing other things that seem more important at night, but that we regret when it’s time to get up. It is what scholars call “bedtime procrastination (拖延)”. Bedtime procrastination seems illogical, but the explanation is fairly straightforward. It happens when a person bears some deep resistance to being “told” what to do, especially in an area as personal and fundamental as when to go to bed. It is likely because she hates being told what to do in other parts of her life, and she fights back by fully using her own authority and staying up.
8. What does the underlined word “torment” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Enjoyment. B. Suffering. C. Entertainment. D. Exercise.
9. How is the second paragraph developed?
A By using quotes.
B. By giving a definition.
C. By making a comparison.
D. By providing explanations.
10 What may cause bedtime procrastination?
A. A crying baby.
B. Pressure from work.
C. Drinking too much coffee.
D. Unwillingness to follow routines.
11. Which column of a news website may the text be taken from?
A. Health. B. Education. C. Technology. D. Economy.
D
Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.
Here’s how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.
“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, ”Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they’re doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”
12. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?
A. They fed them. B. They named them.
C. They trained them. D. They measured them.
13. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?
A. By drawing a circle. B. By touching a screen.
C. By watching videos. D. By mixing two drinks.
14. What did Livingstone’s team find about the monkeys?
A. They could perform basic addition. B. They could understand simple words.
C. They could memorize numbers easily. D. They could hold their attention for long.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Science.

47. 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。
It was a snowing Monday night. Mava received an invitation from her friend Lily, asking Maya to attend her birthday party next Wednesday evening. To Maya’s amazement and excitement, the invitation looked like it came from Hogwarts. It would be a Harry Potter-themed costume party. As Lily’s good friend and as one of the millions of Harry Potter fans, Maya definitely accepted the invitation without a second thought. Her favourite character was Harry’s best female friend Hermione. Maya admired her not just because she was extremely clever and a bit of a know-it-all, but also for her bravery and a positive mindset. Every time faced with difficulty, she always had a way out. Maya was so eager to wear Hermione’s costume that she couldn’t wait to make preparations for it. She made a list of things to buy, which consisted of a f lark V-neck sweater, a white collared shirt with the Gryffindor tie, a skirt, stockings, Mary Jane shoes, a black cloak (斗篷) and of course a scarf of bee color.
With the list in hand, Maya happily went to tell her mother, Sarah, all about it. Sarah was weaving a sweater in the living room. After learning Maya’s plan, Sarah thought it was not necessary to buy all the clothing for they cost a lot and Maya had already had a dark V-neck sweater, a white collared shirt, many skirts, stockings and a pair of Mary Jane shoes. Therefore, she advised her daughter to rent or buy a second-hand black cloak and a brown and golden scarf. But Maya insisted that all the costumes should be brand-new. “Hermione is more about books than looks. Just remember to keep things tidy, simple and modest.” Sarah stopped weaving and told her daughter. Maya agreed with her mom, but she still wanted a new cloak and a new scarf.
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。
Looking at the half-weaved sweater, Maya got an idea.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over the following days, Maya was making her cloak while Sarah was weaving the scarf.

推理判断题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段“The initiative came about in 2015 and was the passion project of Mike Kendrick, a life-science teacher and photographer. Moving to the Greater Kruger area to live in the bush, Mike was discouraged to see the lack of engagement between young South Africans and their natural environment. Not only that, in six years of helping to run Wild Shots, he did not come across a single wildlife, landscape or outdoor photographer of color in South Africa(这项倡议始于2015年,是生命科学教师兼摄影师Mike Kendrick的热情项目。搬到大克鲁格地区生活在灌木丛中,Mike看到年轻的南非人与自然环境之间缺乏互动感到沮丧。不仅如此,在帮助举办Wild Shots的六年里,他没有遇到一个来自南非的有色人种野生动物、风景或户外摄影师)”可知,文章介绍WSO的实质和目的,以及创立人发动WSO的最初动机,但是在南非却没有得到推广。由此可推知,接下来有可能谈论WSO的推广。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了了睡眠对幸福感的影响以及睡前拖延症的原因。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“When you should be sleeping, you want to be awake; when you should be awake, you want to stay asleep. It is easy to regard sleep as a torment: hard to attain and then hard to give up, day after day.”(当你该睡觉的时候,你却想醒着;当你应该醒着的时候,你却想睡觉。人们很容易将睡眠视为一种torment:日复一日,难以企及,也难以放弃。)可知,日复一日,难以企及,也难以放弃,所以人们很容易将睡眠视为一种折磨,torment的意思是“折磨”,即suffering。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One recent study of more than 30,000 UK residents found that people who increased their quantity of sleep over a four-year period got about the same happiness benefits as they would have from eight weeks of treatment, or from winning up to $280,000 in a lottery. Well-rested people are more social and have more positive emotional experiences with co-workers and romantic partners. Sleep loss, however, lowers happiness by degrading emotional-memory recall and encouraging a negative mindset, which results in depressive working atmosphere and poor interpersonal relationship.”(近一项针对3万多名英国居民的研究发现,在四年时间里增加睡眠时间的人所获得的幸福感,与他们接受8周治疗或中了28万美元彩票所获得的幸福感大致相同。休息好的人更善于社交,与同事和恋人有更多积极的情感体验。然而,睡眠不足会通过降低情绪记忆的回忆和鼓励消极的心态来降低幸福感,从而导致压抑的工作氛围和糟糕的人际关系。)可知,通过比较增加睡眠时间与接受治疗或中彩票的幸福感来说明足够的睡眠能提高幸福感。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Bedtime procrastination seems illogical, but the explanation is fairly straightforward. It happens when a person bears some deep resistance to being ‘told’ what to do, especially in an area as personal and fundamental as when to go to bed.”(睡前拖延症发生在一个人对被‘告知’做什么事情有深深的抵触情绪时,尤其是在像什么时候上床睡觉这样个人和基本的事情上。)可知,睡前拖延症的原因是对遵循常规的不情愿。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了睡眠对幸福感的影响以及睡前拖延症的原因,属于健康话题。因此,本文可能出现在新闻网站的健康栏目。故选A。
D
Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.
Here’s how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.
“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, ”Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they’re doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”
12. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?
A. They fed them. B. They named them.
C. They trained them. D. They measured them.
13. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?
A. By drawing a circle. B. By touching a screen.
C. By watching videos. D. By mixing two drinks.
14. What did Livingstone’s team find about the monkeys?
A. They could perform basic addition. B. They could understand simple words.
C. They could memorize numbers easily. D. They could hold their attention for long.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Science.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。哈佛医学院的一位科学家领导的研究团队发现猴子能进行基本的加法计算。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward.可知,在对这些猴子进行测试之前,研究人员对它们进行了培训。故C项正确。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.可知,当猴子触摸屏幕左边时,它们会得到7滴水或者果汁的奖励;当它们触摸屏幕的另一端(即画着圆圈的部分)时,它们会得到17滴水或果汁的奖励。由此可知,猴子是通过触摸屏幕得到奖励的。故B项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.和第五段中的When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.可知,猴子会在超过一半的时间内选择更高的值,这意味着它们在进行计算,而不仅仅是记住每一个组合的值。所以猴子能够进行基本的加法计算。故A项正确。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读整篇文章可知,该文介绍的是哈佛医学院的科学家Margaret Livingstone领导的一个研究团队对猴子进行实验得出的研究结果,这属于“科学研究”范畴,故该文应出现在报纸的“科学”版块。故D项正确。

47. 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。
It was a snowing Monday night. Mava received an invitation from her friend Lily, asking Maya to attend her birthday party next Wednesday evening. To Maya’s amazement and excitement, the invitation looked like it came from Hogwarts. It would be a Harry Potter-themed costume party. As Lily’s good friend and as one of the millions of Harry Potter fans, Maya definitely accepted the invitation without a second thought. Her favourite character was Harry’s best female friend Hermione. Maya admired her not just because she was extremely clever and a bit of a know-it-all, but also for her bravery and a positive mindset. Every time faced with difficulty, she always had a way out. Maya was so eager to wear Hermione’s costume that she couldn’t wait to make preparations for it. She made a list of things to buy, which consisted of a f lark V-neck sweater, a white collared shirt with the Gryffindor tie, a skirt, stockings, Mary Jane shoes, a black cloak (斗篷) and of course a scarf of bee color.
With the list in hand, Maya happily went to tell her mother, Sarah, all about it. Sarah was weaving a sweater in the living room. After learning Maya’s plan, Sarah thought it was not necessary to buy all the clothing for they cost a lot and Maya had already had a dark V-neck sweater, a white collared shirt, many skirts, stockings and a pair of Mary Jane shoes. Therefore, she advised her daughter to rent or buy a second-hand black cloak and a brown and golden scarf. But Maya insisted that all the costumes should be brand-new. “Hermione is more about books than looks. Just remember to keep things tidy, simple and modest.” Sarah stopped weaving and told her daughter. Maya agreed with her mom, but she still wanted a new cloak and a new scarf.
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。
Looking at the half-weaved sweater, Maya got an idea.

Over the following days, Maya was making her cloak while Sarah was weaving the scarf.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Looking at the half-weaved sweater, Maya got an idea. “Mom,” Maya exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement, “why don’t we make the cloak and scarf ourselves?” Sarah was more than delighted at her daughter’s proposal. She would put aside the sweater she was weaving and set out to weave a scarf similar to Hermione’s. Maya took the task of making the cloak. She had learned something about sewing at school. They found a DIY instruction video for a cloak online and used leftover cloth from a project Sarah had finished.
Over the following days, Maya was making her cloak while Sarah was weaving the scarf. Sarah was experienced at weaving so the scarf weaving went smoothly. The brown and gold stripes scarf was in sight. As for the cloak, although following the video instructions, Maya found it not that seemingly easy. Nevertheless, with great passion and patience, Maya did it eventually. On the long expected night, wearing Hermione’s costume, especially the hand-made scarf and cloak, Maya felt a surge of warmth and pride, ready to embrace the magical evening ahead. “You are brilliant like a real Hermione,” Sarah smiled at her daughter.
