When I was at school I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer, but having decided to be a lawyer, I then had to choose which first degree I should take before starting law school in another city. I’ve always wanted to help people and I figured that taking Human Rights would allow me to learn about how I can make a real difference in the world. Vladimir I love maths. I was torn between two possibilities: I could become an engineer and apply maths at a practical level. Or I could become a maths teacher. I needn’t have worried because in the end I didn’t have to choose! I got everything I wanted thanks to my university, which will qualify me to be a high school teacher while gaining a general engineering degree at the same time. Osvaldo One of the reasons I chose this university was because of the effort that they put into organising the open day. The lecturers and current students provide an enthusiastic overview (概述) of their courses and of life in the city. This was in contrast to other universities I visited, which just let their reputation do the talking. Although I chose not to live on campus (校园), the rooms there seemed comfortable and very reasonably priced. Maria When the time came to select the university, I had three possibilities, but I still could not decide. So it was time to schedule campus tours. They all had their advantages, but this place instantly appealed to me. As soon as I arrived, I was struck by the smiles everyone gave me. What I value most here is the feeling that I am part of a supportive community. 36. What job has Kazumi made up her mind to do? A. A doctor. B. A lawyer. C. A maths teacher. D. A lecturer on Human Rights. 37. Who can obtain a double qualification from his or her university? A. Kazumi. B. Vladimir. C. Osvaldo. D. Maria. 38. Why did Osvaldo, choose his university? A. He found the courses affordable. B. His university sold itself more convincingly. C. He was won over by the university’s reputation. D. His university offered excellent accommodation. 39.

She was hoping to pass on knowledge to others. 40. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Choosing your favorite subject B. How to make friends C. How to choose a community D. Choosing a university 【答案】36. B 37. B 38. B 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了四名大学生在选择自己大学时的理由。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“My main reason for coming here was the Human Rights course.

The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone. Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me. After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day. Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change. 41.

What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A. Say “no” to bullies bravely. B. Make positive changes in their lives. C. Treat others with kindness in daily life. D.

One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.(那时，书是我真正的朋友。我非常感谢作者们写了这些书。他们送我书的好意救了我的命。我最大的梦想之一是成为一名作家，这样我就可以写书，像那些书帮助我一样帮助其他青少年)”可知，作者选择成为一名作家，是因为他可以像那些作者一样通过书把善良传递给读者。故选B项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change.(你永远不知道别人在经历什么。但是通过每天练习善良，你会成为积极改变的建筑师)”可推知，作者建议我们在日常生活中善待他人。故选C项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life.(善良在我最需要帮助的时候拯救了我。即使是小小的善举也能改变一个人的生活)”可推知，我们能从文章中了解到善良可以改变一个人的生活。故选C项。 C Your dog is as smart as any two year old, according to a new study. Dogs bring much happiness to their owners, and even improve human health. Most two year olds keep us busy in life—an important part of living a long and happy life. According to Stanley Coren, Ph. D. of the University of British Columbia, our dogs are smarter than we thought. Dr. Coren reviewed many studies to find out that dogs are as smart as 2 to 2.5 year olds. Forget about one word orders —according to Coren, the smartest dogs can learn up to 250 words. Most dogs understand an average of 165 words. “The upper limit of dogs” ability to learn language is partly based on a study of a Border Collie (博得牧羊犬) named Rico who showed knowledge of 200 spoken words, and ‘fast-track learning’, which scientists believed to be found only in humans and language-learning apes. Dogs are also great at tricking. During play, they have the ability to trick humans and other dogs in order to get treats. “And they are nearly as successful in tricking humans as humans are in tricking dogs, says Coren. Dogs can also count to four or five, which might explain how they know when their toys are missing. Coren explains, “Their astonishing flashes of smartness and creativity are reminders that they may not be Einsteins, but are sure closer to humans than we thought.” Animals can do much to keep us happy, health, and protect us from harm. Stories of dog heroes can be found using a simple Internet search. Pets teach us sense of duty, keep us from loneliness, and can help with treatment of the disabled. Dogs are smarter than we thought —as smart as a two year old. 46. How do dogs bring happiness and health to humans according to the author? A By doing funny tricks. B. By keeping humans busy. C. By serving their owners. D. By playing with their owners. 47. What makes Rico special? A. He seldom uses word orders. B. He uses words like a 2.5 year old. C. He is Corn’s favorite subject for study. D. He shows a high level of language ability. 48. According to the passage, how are dogs similar to humans? A. They can trick each other equally well. B. They can count to very high numbers. C. They have the same level of creativity as Einstein. D. They are always busy like two-year-old humans. 49 What does Dr. Coren say about a dog’s counting ability? A. It is as good as an ape’s. B. It is close to human’s. C. It leaves a lot to be studied. D. It helps them keep their toys. 50. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Dogs are smarter than humans thought. B. Dogs do well in tricking for food. C. Dogs are people’s faithful friends. D. Dogs can speak human language. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. A 49. D 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要说明了狗狗比人们想象的聪明，它们相当于两岁的孩子那么聪明。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Most two-year-olds keep us busy in life - an important part of living a long and happy life.(大部分两岁的（生物）让我们一直忙碌着——这是让人健康幸福的一个重要部分)”结合上文，狗狗和两岁孩子一样聪明，所以他们跟两岁的孩子一样通过使我们忙碌来让我们保持健康而幸福的生活。故选B项。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The upper limit of dogs”ability to learn language is partly based on a study of a Border Collie (博得牧羊犬) named Rico who showed knowledge of 200 spoken words, and‘fast-track learning’,which scientists believed to be found only in humans and language-learning apes(狗学习语言能力的上限部分是基于对一个名叫博得牧羊犬的研究，这只狗展示了拥有200个口语单词的知识和快速学习能力。这种能力科学家们认为只有人类和学语言的猿才有)。由此可见这只名叫Rico的狗狗特别之处就在于它的语言学习能力。故选D项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“And they are nearly as successful in tricking humans as humans are in tricking dogs, says Coren.(科伦说，它们在欺骗人类方面几乎和人类欺骗狗一样成功)”可知，狗和人类在互相欺骗方面能力相当，故选A项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Dogs can also count to four or five, which might explain how they know when their toys are missing.(狗也能数到四到五，这可能解释了它们是如何知道玩具什么时候不见的)”可知，狗的数数能力帮助它们知道玩具是否丢失，故选D项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Your dog is as smart as any two year old, according to a new study.(根据一项新的研究，狗和两岁的孩子一样聪明)”根据最后一段“Dogs are smarter than we thought —as smart as a two year old.(狗比我们想象的要聪明——和两岁的孩子一样聪明)” 可知，短文主要说明了狗狗比人们想象的聪明，它们相当于两岁的孩子那么聪明。故选A项。 D I’ve started to hate traveling. When my friends heard me say that, they were all shocked and confused, because I’m an absolute travel fanatic. It’s not that I dislike traveling itself: rather, I dislike the new definition that modern people have given to it, a fundamentally flawed understanding of tourism. What I hate most during every trip is hearing, “This place is perfect for photos, take a few for me.” It seems our travels have become nothing more than check-ins and photo sessions. Traveling is no longer about admiring scenery, marveling at the magnificent landscapes of our motherland, or experiencing new lifestyles. Instead, I see crowds of people snapping pictures and checking off locations, hardly anyone pausing to genuinely soak in the sights and experiences with their own eyes and hearts. The once poetic journey has transformed into the so-called modern travel trilogy: approach, photograph, leave. The sole purpose of traveling now seems to be posting on social media, showing off to everyone, and immersing oneself in a world constructed solely by one’s own posts. The goal of traveling has shifted to merely visiting check-in spots and completing the task of “checking in”. Travel has changed, and so have many aspects of our lives. We experience too little genuine joy within. I’ve asked my students why they study, and almost all of them answer that it’s to be admitted into a. good university, seek a good job, and earn a lot of money. I don’t think these are wrong or even unnecessary aspirations, but where is our inner happiness and peace? When will we be able to travel for the sake of traveling, to learn for the sake of learning, to go shopping for the sake of going shopping and to preserve our authenticity? After all, we are human beings. How many of us are living day-to-day, going through the motions, turning life into a chore, a mere existence? We still have “poetry and distant horizons” to pursue. We must strive for what truly defines us as human, or we risk losing our humanity. 51. Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “fanatic” in paragraph 1? A. Journalist. B. Psychologist. C. Enthusiast. D. Artist. 52 What is the author’s main reason for hating traveling nowadays? A. The inconvenience of modern transportation. B. The increasing cost of traveling. C. The overcrowding of tourist attractions. D. The shift in people’s perception of traveling. 53. What is the author’s attitude towards the “modern travel trilogy”? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous. 54. What does the author think about the students’ answers regarding the purpose of studying? A. They are completely wrong. B. They are overly materialistic. C. They show a lack of ambition. D. They are reasonable but lack a deeper pursuit. 55. What does the author imply in the passage? A. The author regrets becoming a travel fanatic. B. Modern society has lost touch with genuine experiences. C. Traveling is no longer an enjoyable activity. D. The purpose of traveling has shifted to social media. 【答案】51. C 52. D 53. B 54. D 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要谈论了作者对现代旅行目的与方式的不满，并探讨了人们在现代社会中缺乏真实体验的问题。 【51题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“I’ve started to hate traveling. When my friends heard me say that, they were all shocked and confused(我开始讨厌旅行了。当我的朋友们听到我这么说时，他们都很震惊和困惑)”说明朋友对作者讨厌旅行的说法感到震惊和困惑，因为作者非常热爱旅行，从而推知“because I’m an absolute travel fanatic(因为我是一个绝对的旅行fanatic)”中划线词fanatic应为“狂热者，爱好者”的意思，与C项同义。故选C项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It’s not that I dislike traveling itself; rather, I dislike the new definition that modern people have given to it, a fundamentally flawed understanding of tourism.(并不是我不喜欢旅行本身；相反，我不喜欢现代人给它的新定义，这是对旅游业的一种根本错误的理解。)”和第二段“Traveling is no longer about admiring scenery, marveling at the magnificent landscapes of our motherland, or experiencing new lifestyles. Instead, I see crowds of people snapping pictures and checking off locations, hardly anyone pausing to genuinely soak in the sights and experiences with their own eyes and hearts. The once poetic journey has transformed into the so-called modern travel trilogy: approach, photograph, leave. The sole purpose of traveling now seems to be posting on social media, showing off to everyone, and immersing oneself in a world constructed solely by one’s own posts. The goal of traveling has shifted to merely visiting check- in spots and completing the task of ‘checking in’.(旅行不再是欣赏风景，惊叹祖国的壮丽景色，或者体验新的生活方式。相反，我看到的是一大群人在拍照和查看地点，几乎没有人停下来真正沉浸在他们自己的眼睛和心灵的风景和经历中。曾经诗意的旅程已经变成了所谓的现代旅行三部曲：走近，拍照，离开。现在旅行的唯一目的似乎就是在社交媒体上发帖子，向大家炫耀，让自己沉浸在一个完全由自己的帖子构建的世界里。旅行的目的已经转变为仅仅是参观签到点，完成‘签到’的任务。)”可知，作者现在讨厌旅行的主要原因是人们对旅行观念的转变。故选D项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It’s not that I dislike traveling itself; rather, I dislike the new definition that modern people have given to it, a fundamentally flawed understanding of tourism.(并不是我不喜欢旅行本身;相反，我不喜欢现代人给它的新定义，这是对旅游业的一种根本错误的理解。)”以及第二段中“The once poetic journey has transformed into the so-called modern travel trilogy: approach, photograph, leave. The sole purpose of traveling now seems to be posting on social media, showing off to everyone, and immersing oneself in a world constructed solely by one’s own posts. The goal of traveling has shifted to merely visiting check- in spots and completing the task of ‘checking in’.(曾经诗意的旅程已经变成了所谓的现代旅行三部曲：走近，拍照，离开。现在旅行的唯一目的似乎就是在社交媒体上发帖子，向大家炫耀，让自己沉浸在一个完全由自己的帖子构建的世界里。旅行的目的已经转变为仅仅是参观签到点，完成‘签到’的任务。)”可知，作者对“现代旅行三部曲”持不赞成的态度。故选B项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’ve asked my students why they study, and almost all of them answer that it’s to be admitted into a. good university, seek a good job, and earn a lot of money. I don’t think these are wrong or even unnecessary aspirations, but where is our inner happiness and peace? When will we be able to travel for the sake of traveling, to learn for the sake of learning, to go shopping for the sake of going shopping and to preserve our authenticity? After all, we are human beings. How many of us are living day-to-day, going through the motions, turning life into a chore, a mere existence? We still have “poetry and distant horizons” to pursue. We must strive for what truly defines us as human, or we risk losing our humanity.(我问过我的学生为什么学习，几乎所有人的回答都是为了考上一所好大学，找一份好工作，赚很多钱。我不认为这些是错误的，甚至是不必要的愿望，但我们内心的快乐和平静在哪里？我们什么时候才能为旅行而旅行，为学习而学习，为购物而购物，并保持我们的真实性？毕竟，我们都是人。我们中有多少人过着日复一日、走过场的生活，把生活变成了一件苦差事、一种纯粹的存在？我们还有“诗和远方”要追求。我们必须为真正定义我们人类的东西而奋斗，否则我们就有可能失去人性)”可知，作者对学生关于学习目的的回答，觉得他们是合理的，但缺乏更深层次的追求。故选D项。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文特别是第二段中“The sole purpose of traveling now seems to be posting on social media, showing off to everyone, and immersing oneself in a world constructed solely by one’s own posts. The goal of traveling has shifted to merely visiting check-in spots and completing the task of ‘checking in’.(现在旅行的唯一目的似乎就是在社交媒体上发帖子，向大家炫耀，让自己沉浸在一个完全由自己的帖子构建的世界里。旅行的目的已经转变为仅仅是参观签到点，完成‘签到’的任务。)”可知，作者以 “旅行变味” 为切入点，进一步拓展到学习、生活等领域，最终提出 “要追求定义人性的真正事物，否则会失去人性”。其真正想表达的，是现代社会中人们普遍忽略了体验的本质，陷入功利化、表面化的行为模式。故选B项。 第Ⅱ卷（满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When Brantley Harrison and her family rescued a tiny, injured squirrel back, then released her back into the wild, they didn’t expect to ever see her again. Nine years later, however, little Bella, they called the squirrel Bella, still comes to visit them almost every day—as long as snacks are provided, of course. As a baby, the terrible attack made by an owl (猫头鹰) left Bella near death, she was carefully taken in by the Greenville County, South Carolina family, and raised by them alongside three other squirrels named Larry, Curly, and Moe. Bella stayed with the Harrisons until she had healed successfully thanks to a regular diet of fruit, nuts, and baby food, and was ready to jump on the trees in the forest. The sweet squirrel never goes too far from her adopted home, though, and stops by to say hello whenever she can, despite how much time has passed. “Bella sits right at the front door waiting for someone to notice she has come by for a visit. If no one notices her, she will jump over to the dining room window to wait for someone to see her,” Brantley told The Dodo. The little lady just isn’t ready to part with the family that succored her life. Whenever she stops by, she asks for nothing more than a handful of nuts. What is the most amazing part? A few years after Bella’s original stay at the Harrison house, she found her way back to them with an injured foot—and a belly full of babies—spending another few months of recovering. “It was truly amazing to watch the baby I raised raise her own babies,” Brantley said. Bella now even has her own Instagram page, where her human family documents her adventures, with almost 4 thousand followers! 56. What happened after little Bella was injured by an owl? (No more than 10 words) ________________ 57. How did the Harrisons take care of little Bella? (No more than 15 words) ________________ 58. What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean? (Only 1 word) ________________ 59. What brought Bella back to the Harrisons a few years after its original stay? (No more than 10 words) ________________ 60. How does Bella’s story inspire you? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 20words) ________________ 【答案】56. It/she was saved/rescued by the Harrisons/family. 57. They fed it/her on regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food. OR: They provided it/her with a regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food. OR: By giving/offering it/her a regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food. 58. Saved/rescued 59. An injured foot and a belly full of babies. OR: Its/her injured foot and coming babies. OR: Its/her injured foot and the babies in her belly. OR: That it was pregnant/had babies on the way and injured (in the foot). 60. I will do whatever I can to protect animals and live with them in harmony. 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文。本文叙述了人类与动物之间美好而感人的友谊。一只可爱的小松鼠贝拉被布兰特利•哈里森和她的家人救了，伤愈后放归野外，却不愿与救她的家庭分开。9年后，松鼠贝拉仍然几乎每天都来看望他们，哈里森一家还在网上记录了小松鼠的冒险经历。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“As a baby, the terrible attack made by an owl (猫头鹰) left Bella near death, she was carefully taken in by the Greenville County, South Carolina family, and raised by them alongside three other squirrels named Larry, Curly, and Moe.(小时候，一只猫头鹰的可怕袭击使贝拉濒临死亡，她被南卡罗来纳州格林维尔县的一户人家精心收养，和另外三只松鼠——拉里、科利和莫伊——一起抚养长大)”可知，小贝拉被猫头鹰弄伤后它(她)被哈里森一家救了。故答案为It/she was saved/rescued by the Harrisons/family. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“Bella stayed with the Harrisons until she had healed successfully thanks to a regular diet of fruit, nuts, and baby food, and was ready to jump on the trees in the forest.(贝拉一直和哈里森一家待在一起，直到她通过定期进食水果、坚果和婴儿食品成功康复，并准备在森林里的树上跳来跳去)”可知，哈里森一家用水果、坚果和婴儿食品喂养它/她。故答案为They fed it/her on regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food. OR: They provided it/her with a regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food. OR: By giving/offering it/her a regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food. 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第一段“2010年10月，布兰特利·哈里森和她的家人救了（rescued）一只受伤的小松鼠，然后把她放归野外。然而，9年后，他们叫小贝拉的松鼠仍然几乎每天都来看望他们。”可知，小松鼠常来看望救她的家庭。因此“The little lady just isn’t ready to part with the family that succored her life.”可知，她还没准备好和救她的家庭分开。由此可判断出“succored”意为“saved/rescued”。 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“A few years after Bella’s original stay at the Harrison house, she found her way back to them with an injured foot—and a belly full of babies—spending another few months of recovering.(贝拉最初住在哈里森家几年后，她带着一只受伤的脚和一肚子的孩子回到了他们身边，又花了几个月的时间恢复)”可知，一只脚受伤了，怀孕让贝拉在最初的几年后又回到了哈里森家。故答案为An injured foot and a belly full of babies. OR: Its/her injured foot and coming babies. OR: Its/her injured foot and the babies in her belly. OR: That it was pregnant/had babies on the way and injured (in the foot). 【60题详解】 考查开放题。题意“贝拉的故事对你有什么启发？请用你自己的话解释。”贝拉救助了小松鼠，与它和谐相处，因此我将尽我所能保护动物，并与它们和谐相处。故答案为I will do whatever I can to protect animals and live with them in harmony. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假定你是李华，你的美国朋友Chris计划在寒假来中国旅游一周，发邮件请你帮助制定旅游计划。请你回复邮件，内容包括： 1. 建议先去北京，游览名胜如故宫（（the Forbidden City））、长城，品尝北京烤鸭（roast duck）； 2. 推荐另一座城市； 3. 推荐该城市的理由。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总词数； 3. 可适当增加细节，使行文连贯。 Dear Chris, I’m glad to learn that you are coming to Chine his winter vacation. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All in all, I hope you’ll have a good trip.

When I was at school I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer, but having decided to be a lawyer, I then had to choose which first degree I should take before starting law school in another city. I’ve always wanted to help people and I figured that taking Human Rights would allow me to learn about how I can make a real difference in the world. Vladimir I love maths. I was torn between two possibilities: I could become an engineer and apply maths at a practical level. Or I could become a maths teacher. I needn’t have worried because in the end I didn’t have to choose! I got everything I wanted thanks to my university, which will qualify me to be a high school teacher while gaining a general engineering degree at the same time. Osvaldo One of the reasons I chose this university was because of the effort that they put into organising the open day. The lecturers and current students provide an enthusiastic overview (概述) of their courses and of life in the city. This was in contrast to other universities I visited, which just let their reputation do the talking. Although I chose not to live on campus (校园), the rooms there seemed comfortable and very reasonably priced. Maria When the time came to select the university, I had three possibilities, but I still could not decide. So it was time to schedule campus tours. They all had their advantages, but this place instantly appealed to me. As soon as I arrived, I was struck by the smiles everyone gave me.

Choosing a university B When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town. But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone. Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me. After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day. Kindness saved me when I needed help the most.

C Your dog is as smart as any two year old, according to a new study. Dogs bring much happiness to their owners, and even improve human health. Most two year olds keep us busy in life—an important part of living a long and happy life. According to Stanley Coren, Ph. D. of the University of British Columbia, our dogs are smarter than we thought. Dr. Coren reviewed many studies to find out that dogs are as smart as 2 to 2.5 year olds. Forget about one word orders —according to Coren, the smartest dogs can learn up to 250 words. Most dogs understand an average of 165 words. “The upper limit of dogs” ability to learn language is partly based on a study of a Border Collie (博得牧羊犬) named Rico who showed knowledge of 200 spoken words, and ‘fast-track learning’, which scientists believed to be found only in humans and language-learning apes. Dogs are also great at tricking. During play, they have the ability to trick humans and other dogs in order to get treats. “And they are nearly as successful in tricking humans as humans are in tricking dogs, says Coren. Dogs can also count to four or five, which might explain how they know when their toys are missing. Coren explains, “Their astonishing flashes of smartness and creativity are reminders that they may not be Einsteins, but are sure closer to humans than we thought.” Animals can do much to keep us happy, health, and protect us from harm. Stories of dog heroes can be found using a simple Internet search. Pets teach us sense of duty, keep us from loneliness, and can help with treatment of the disabled. Dogs are smarter than we thought —as smart as a two year old. 46. How do dogs bring happiness and health to humans according to the author? A. By doing funny tricks. B. By keeping humans busy. C. By serving their owners. D. By playing with their owners. 47. What makes Rico special? A. He seldom uses word orders. B. He uses words like a 2.5 year old. C. He is Corn’s favorite subject for study. D. He shows a high level of language ability. 48. According to the passage, how are dogs similar to humans? A. They can trick each other equally well. B. They can count to very high numbers. C. They have the same level of creativity as Einstein. D. They are always busy like two-year-old humans. 49. What does Dr. Coren say about a dog’s counting ability? A. It is as good as an ape’s. B. It is close to human’s. C. It leaves a lot to be studied. D. It helps them keep their toys. 50. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Dogs are smarter than humans thought. B. Dogs do well in tricking for food. C. Dogs are people’s faithful friends. D. Dogs can speak human language. D I’ve started to hate traveling. When my friends heard me say that, they were all shocked and confused, because I’m an absolute travel fanatic. It’s not that I dislike traveling itself: rather, I dislike the new definition that modern people have given to it, a fundamentally flawed understanding of tourism. What I hate most during every trip is hearing, “This place is perfect for photos, take a few for me.” It seems our travels have become nothing more than check-ins and photo sessions. Traveling is no longer about admiring scenery, marveling at the magnificent landscapes of our motherland, or experiencing new lifestyles. Instead, I see crowds of people snapping pictures and checking off locations, hardly anyone pausing to genuinely soak in the sights and experiences with their own eyes and hearts. The once poetic journey has transformed into the so-called modern travel trilogy: approach, photograph, leave. The sole purpose of traveling now seems to be posting on social media, showing off to everyone, and immersing oneself in a world constructed solely by one’s own posts. The goal of traveling has shifted to merely visiting check-in spots and completing the task of “checking in”. Travel has changed, and so have many aspects of our lives. We experience too little genuine joy within. I’ve asked my students why they study, and almost all of them answer that it’s to be admitted into a. good university, seek a good job, and earn a lot of money. I don’t think these are wrong or even unnecessary aspirations, but where is our inner happiness and peace? When will we be able to travel for the sake of traveling, to learn for the sake of learning, to go shopping for the sake of going shopping and to preserve our authenticity? After all, we are human beings. How many of us are living day-to-day, going through the motions, turning life into a chore, a mere existence? We still have “poetry and distant horizons” to pursue. We must strive for what truly defines us as human, or we risk losing our humanity. 51. Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “fanatic” in paragraph 1? A. Journalist. B. Psychologist. C. Enthusiast. D. Artist. 52. What is the author’s main reason for hating traveling nowadays? A. The inconvenience of modern transportation. B. The increasing cost of traveling. C. The overcrowding of tourist attractions. D. The shift in people’s perception of traveling. 53. What is the author’s attitude towards the “modern travel trilogy”? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous. 54. What does the author think about the students’ answers regarding the purpose of studying? A. They are completely wrong. B. They are overly materialistic. C. They show a lack of ambition. D. They are reasonable but lack a deeper pursuit. 55. What does the author imply in the passage? A. The author regrets becoming a travel fanatic. B. Modern society has lost touch with genuine experiences. C. Traveling is no longer an enjoyable activity. D. The purpose of traveling has shifted to social media. 第Ⅱ卷（满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When Brantley Harrison and her family rescued a tiny, injured squirrel back, then released her back into the wild, they didn’t expect to ever see her again. Nine years later, however, little Bella, they called the squirrel Bella, still comes to visit them almost every day—as long as snacks are provided, of course. As a baby, the terrible attack made by an owl (猫头鹰) left Bella near death, she was carefully taken in by the Greenville County, South Carolina family, and raised by them alongside three other squirrels named Larry, Curly, and Moe. Bella stayed with the Harrisons until she had healed successfully thanks to a regular diet of fruit, nuts, and baby food, and was ready to jump on the trees in the forest. The sweet squirrel never goes too far from her adopted home, though, and stops by to say hello whenever she can, despite how much time has passed. “Bella sits right at the front door waiting for someone to notice she has come by for a visit. If no one notices her, she will jump over to the dining room window to wait for someone to see her,” Brantley told The Dodo. The little lady just isn’t ready to part with the family that succored her life. Whenever she stops by, she asks for nothing more than a handful of nuts. What is the most amazing part? A few years after Bella’s original stay at the Harrison house, she found her way back to them with an injured foot—and a belly full of babies—spending another few months of recovering. “It was truly amazing to watch the baby I raised raise her own babies,” Brantley said. Bella now even has her own Instagram page, where her human family documents her adventures, with almost 4 thousand followers! 56. What happened after little Bella was injured by an owl?
