Ages 8 to 10 Woolly Monkeys spend most of their time high up in 15O-foot-tall trees. That makes them difficult animals to count and to study. But cameras have provided valuable information and taken, as this book shows, amazing pictures. Experts now believe that Peru's lowland monkeys and the waste they produce are necessary to the survival of the rain forest. Camp Panda: Helping Cubs Return to the Wild By Catherine Thimmesh. Ages 10 to 12 The giant panda is much-beloved in China, but in the past 40 years, at least half of its habitat has been destroyed. Camp Panda tells about efforts to reintroduce the giant pandas into the wild so that they might have a future. As part of the efforts, people wear panda costumes that smell like pandas while weighing and measuring the young pandas. They aren't supposed to get used to seeing and being around people, because people could pose a threat to them in the wild. Beyond Words: What Elephants and Whales Think and Feel By Carl Safina. Ages 10 and older Carl Safina studied elephants in an African national park and killer whales off the coast of Washington state.

When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him. but she didn't find him. The mother felt very sad and didn't know how to face her husband. When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband jus said"I love you, darling." The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son The family's relationship became stronger over that time Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame.

Now, for the first time, a researcher has shot an attractive video of an octopus called Heidi rapidly changing into a quantity of colors while dreaming 英语 第4页共10页 The video, part of Octopus: Making Contact, a documentary first shown on PBS on October 2. 2019, was shot by a fish lover David Scheel. who has raised Heidi in a fish tank since she was young. The professor at Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage believes that the octopus -whose skin went from pale gray to ghostly white to deep, dark violet, before changing into a greenish-brown camouflage (伪装) pattern - was dreaming of catching her next meal. “She's asleep: she sees a crab( 繁), and her color starts to change a little bit."Scheel says in the video. "Then she turns all dark. Octopuses will do that when they leave the bottom." He adds."This is a camouflage like she's just caught a crab, and now she's going to sit there and eat it, and she doesn't want anyone to notice her. If she's dreaming, that's the dream." Scheel's theory about Heidi's pleasant dream originates from the fact that animals with the ability to camouflage have never been observed changing colors so abruptly while sleeping. The hour-long documentary, which tracks Scheel's developing relationship with the octopus, also shows Heidi's other skills. She enjoys playing with small toys, watching television -particularly The Big Bang Theory - and solving puzzles. The talented octopus can also escape from small spaces, use tools, and even press a button on a remote control. Like any smart family pet, Heidi recognizes Scheel and his teenage daughter Laura and excitedly rushes to her tank's side in greeting every time either comes close 28. What is the octopus doing in the video? B. Hunting. A.Dining. C. Sleeping D. Hiding 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Scheel's guessing about the dream of Heidi B. The octopus' daily activities in a fish tank C. The relationship between Scheel and Heidi D. The research results about octopuses' dream 30. What do we know about the documentary? A. It records an octopus' dream content. B. It is filmed and produced by Laura C. It shows octopuses change colors when hunting D. It is about an octopus and her host Scheel. 31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. A Fish Lover Raises an Amazing Octopus B. A Documentary about an Octopus' Life Habi C. An Octopus Changes Colors While Sleeping D. An Important Discovery Shown on PBs D Loss of slow-wave sleep as you age may increase your risk of developing dementia (痴 呆), according to a new study. "We found that aging was associated with a decline in the amount of the deepest stages of 英语 第5页共10页 sleep, known as slow-wave sleep. We then found that people with greater declines in slow-wave sleep over time had a higher risk of getting dementia over the next 17 years of follow-up," said Matthew Pase, senior author of the study Slow-wave sleep is the third and fourth stages of sleep, which is important for brain health. During this stage, the body removes unwanted or harmful materials from the brain. "For the brain, this deep sleep is thought to be the most restorative." said Dr Richard Isaacson, who wasn't involved in the study The researchers wanted to know whether chronic (慢性的) reductions in slow-wave sleep over time are linked to dementia risk in humans and whether dementia-related processes in the brain may contribute to getting less of this type of sleep. They studied 346 people with an average age of 69 and completed two overnight sleep studies-one between 1995 and 1998 and the second between 1998 and 20ol-during which their sleep was monitored. The researchers also investigated whether any change in the amount of slow-wave sleep that participants got was associated with developing dementia up to 17 years after they completed the sleep studies By that time, 52 participants had been diagnosed with dementia. Each percentage decrease in slow-wave sleep per year was linked to a 27 percent increased risk of developing dementia. The rate of slow-wave sleep loss accelerated(加速) from age 60, peaked from ages 75 to 80 and slowed afterwards. "This is an important study yet again showing the impact of quality of sleep on a person's risk of cognitive decline and dementia," Isaacson said."It's important to not only pay attention to the total amount of sleep a person gets each night, but also monitor sleep quality as best as possible." 32. What can we learn from the new study? A. The older you are, the less sleep you will have B. Slow-wave sleep has been linked to the risk of dementia C. The rate of slow-wave sleep loss keeps going up with age. D. The amount of sleep has an impact on the risk of dementia 33. How did researchers get what they wanted? A. By making a comparison. B. By introducing a concept. C. By referring to another study D. By making a survey. 34. What did Dr Richard Isaacson suggest? A. Sleep quality needs more attention B. We should have enough sleep. C. The elderly should sleep more than the young D. The amount of sleep is more important than sleep quality 35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? B. Health. C. Education A.Sports D. Environment 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 英语 第6页共10页 余选项。 ANIMAL BODY LANGUAGE Human beings are not only ones who communicate. 36 Here is a quick look at how some of our animal friends send messages to us and to each other 37 When a dog is happy, its ears will stand up and its eyes will be wide open.

To show friendship, elephants will touch each other with their trunks and stand close to each other, putting their heads together Dolphins are social animals. 39 An angry dolphin will sometimes hit its tail on the surface of the water. The movement and noise let other dolphins know that something is wrong If a dolphin wants to send a message over a long distance, or if it wants to show how strong it is. it will jump high out of the water and land on its side, making a loud noise.

I am sorry but you can’t take the exam now. W: I am sorry, but my mother was ill in bed this morning and I had to look after her. M: Be honest! Your mother was talking with the headmaster in his office when I passed by. Text 5 M: If you’d like to take the package with you, Miss, it won’t take long to wrap. W: There’s no rush. Could you please have it delivered this week? M: Of course, Miss. Tell me the address, please. Text 6 W: Mike, there is something wrong with my laptop. I really need to use it this afternoon. I don’t know what to do now. M: Why not call Jim? He is good at computers. I’m sure he can solve the problem. But I do think you need a new one. You got it almost four years ago. W: Well, I can’t afford a new one now. Maybe I’ll get a new one after I graduate. But now I’m afraid I have no choice but to use this one. M: Then call Jim now. W: OK.

M: Well, all right, then. I guess there is just one option left. Text 10 W: I woke up this morning feeling a little worried. I was going to take part in the 200-meter race in our school’s swimming pool. Was I ready? Was I prepared? First, the headmaster gave a speech at 8 o’clock. He encouraged us all to do well. Five teams took part in each event. At 8:30 the 100-meter freestyle began. Unfortunately, one of our swimmers had a sudden pain in her left leg during the race. She stopped swimming and shouted for help. A teacher jumped into the pool and brought her back. Luckily, she was fine. At about 9:10, it was time for my event, the 200-meter freestyle. I walked to the edge of the pool and waited for the judge to fire his gun. I heard him say, “On your marks … Get set … Go!” and we jumped in. However, a swimmer dived into the pool too early. We had to start again. I was in the lead for the first 150 meters, but another swimmer swam past me later. I won a medal for second place. I was a little disappointed. My team came in second overall, with 47 points. The team which won had a total of 53 points. I’m tired out now. It’s been a long day and I’m about to go to sleep. Bye! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
