The suitcase belonged to his great--grandmother,who had Alzheimer's(阿尔茨海默病)and lived in a nursing home.Veal and his grandfather went to visit her with the photos,hoping she could tell them more about the photos.What happened next changed Veal's life. "Everything came back to her when she saw these pictures,"Veal said."She recognized her sisters,her aunts,her grandparents...It was the first time I had ever seen someone's excitement from an old photo returning to them." The experience made Veal realize the power of old photographs to hold precious and long-forgotten memories and restore a sense of identity.It never left him.Two years ago,when he came across old family photos for sale at a thrift store(),he decided to pick one picture and try to track down the family.Soon,he was inspired to buy more photos and started a Facebook group called Old Photo Project to aid in finding their families. Veal is not alone in this hobby.Photo and genealogy (enthusiasts worldwide regularly go through thrift stores,flea markets and the like,finding old photos with the objective of reuniting the photos with their families.They also use the Interet and even social media to track down the families and faces in the lost photos.

A.Returning Lost Memories B.Old Photos for Photo Enthusiasts C.The Power of Photos on the Internet D.Researching the History of a Family Q People may use the expression "birdbrain"in English to talk about someone who is stupid,but crows prove that this is unfair.Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies( 推法)。 It was once thought that only humans could understand analogies,which help us to solve problems creatively,put things into categories,and make scientific discoveries. To test this ability in animals,scientists do "relational matching-to-sample"(RMTS)tests, according to the IFL Science website.If a pair was AA,for example,then picking BB to match it would be correct.If the pair was CD,however,then EF would be correct. Apes and monkeys have learned RMTS,but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it,too. An international team led by Edward Wasserman from the University of Iowa in the US first trained two hooded crows to match things by color,shape,and number in what is called "identity matching-to-sample (IMTS)",then moved onto RMTS. For the IMTS test,the birds were put in a cage with a plastic tray that had three cards and two cups in it.The card in the middle was the sample card.The cups on either side were covered with the other two cards:One was the same as the sample (in the color,shape,or number of shapes pictured),while the other wasn't.The cup with the card that matched the sample card contained two worms to eat In the second part of the experiment,the birds were tested with relational matching pairs.A card with two same-sized circles,for example,meant they should pick the test card with two same-sized squares and not two different-sized circles.The birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time,Science News reports. Wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTS."What the crows have done is extraordinary,"he said in a news release."Honestly,if it was only by force that the crows showed this leaming,then it would have been an impressive result.But this was spontaneous." So perhaps it's time to stop saying"birdbrain"permanently! 61.Why does the author mention the expression"birdbrain"in the opening paragraph? A.To get the reader interested in the origins of the expression. B.To urge people to stop saying that birds are stupid. C.To introduce the topic of Edward Wasserman and his experiments. D.To introduce recent findings about crows'intelligence. 62.Which of the following is TRUE about the tests on the hooded crows? A.The birds did better in RMTS than in IMTS. B.The birds were first made to do RMTS,then IMTS. 高三英语第7页共10页 C.The birds picked almos:alt the correct cards in RMTS. D.In the IMTS test,the birds necded to identify the sample card to get rewards. 63.In the RMTS test,if the birds were given the samnple card with two same-sized triangles, they had to pick the test card with A.two same-sized circles B.one circle and one triangle C.two different-sized circles D.two different-sized triangles 64.The underlined word "spontaneous"in the second-to-last paragraph is closest in meaning to A.central B.creative C.natural D.predictable 65.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A.Monkeys Are Clever Than Crows B.Crows Show Cleverness C.Crows Did Well in RMTS D.Don't Look Down on Birds 0 Cooler,higher places may not be very welcoming to some hummingbirds trying to escape rising temperatures and other effects of climate change. Anna's hummingbirds live no higher than about 2,600 meters above sea level.If the birds attempt to expand their range to include higher altitudes,they may struggle to fly well in the thinner air,researchers reported in the Joural of Experimental Biology. These hummingbirds have expanded their range in the past.Once only found in Southern California,the birds now live as far north as Vancouver says Austin Spence,an ecologist at the University of California,Davis.That expansion is probably due to climate change and people using feeders to attract hummingbirds,he says. Spence and colleagues collected 26 Anna's hummingbirds from different altitude in the birds' natural range in California.The team transported the birds to an aviary (about 1,200 meters above sea level and measured their metabolic(新陈代谢的)rate when hovering(盘旋).After relocating the hummingbirds to a field station at an altitude of 3,800 meters,the researchers let the birds rest for at least 12 hours and then measured that rate again. The rate was 37 percent lower,on average,at the higher altitude than the aviary,even though the birds should have been working harder to fly in the thinner air.At higher altitudes,hovering is very challenging and requires a lot more energy compared to other forms of flight,Spence says.The decrease in metabolic rate shows that the birds'hovering performance was suffering,he says."Low oxygen and low air pressure may be holding them back as they try to move upslope." Additional work is needed to see whether the birds might be able to better adjust if given weeks or months to get used to the conditions at gradually higher altitudes. 66.What factor may have contributed to the expansion of Anna's hummingbirds'range? A.A shift in migration patterns. B.A lack of food sources. C.A decrease in temperature. D.Human use of feeders. 67.How did scientists study the effects of high altitude on hummingbirds? A.By monitoring their feeding behaviors. B.By comparing their different forms of flight 高三英语第8页共10页 C.By measuring their metabolic rate while hovering. D.By observing their dietary changes in a new environment. 68.Which best describes Anna's hummingbirds'hovering performance at higher altitudes? A.Weakened. B.Enhanced. C.Unaffected D.Energized. 69.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Hummingbirds'adaptation to feeders B.Expansion of hummingbirds'range C.Challenges of high-altitude flight for hummingbirds D.Benefits of cooler climates for hummingbirds 70.What further research might be conducted about Anna's hummingbirds,according to the passage? A.Studying the changes in their hunting methods. B.Recording their numbers over an extended period. C.Examining their ability to live at higher altitudes over time. D.Investigating the impact of other bird species on their range. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共35分） 第三部分：写作（共两节：满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） Before entering college,I had heard so many stories about how stressful freshman year could get and that this would potentially be the most difficult experience I would ever have to go through. And yes,for the most part,those stories did live up to the reality. In the first several months,I was urged to improve my social skills and to befriend people. Personally,there was a clear struggle on wanting to adjust and not simply adapt.Adapting required a change in behavior for the sake of fitting in and I didn't want that.Luckily and eventually,I was able to find my own group.It just required extra work and patience. Naturally,there were academic obstacles that arose.The biggest one was my major.I was enrolled as a communication studies major.I chose it because it seemed like a safe haven.But I later discovered that it didn't actually7fit my likes.After two quarters,serious thinking and several mini breakdowns,I switched to philosophy. Ever since I was younger,I have known I wanted to work in the field.It has always intrigued me.To be honest,I've never had to read such challenging texts in my life,but I enjoy it.It pushes me beyond my limits in a good way.It introduces me to concepts and theories that I've never heard of.More importantly,it doesn't only make me more logical.It also makes me more empathic and understanding of others. I eventually overcame the obstacles.As I recall it now,I'm thankful that the good always outweighed the bad.The good came in the form of new friends,significant leaming and deepened self-understanding.As I head off to sophomore year,I plan to bring this good with me. 高三英语第9页共10页 71.How was the author's freshman year in college?(no more than 5 words) 72.What troubled the author in his first several months in college?(no more than 10 words) 73.Why did the author switch to philosophy?(no more than 10 words) 74.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?(no more than 10 words) 75.What do you think of the author?Please explain.(no more than 25 words) 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 76.你是展光中学学生会主席李津。你校准备组织一次“让文物活起来”(Bring Cultural Relics to Life) 的活动，请你用英语写一篇开幕辞，欢迎参加活动的师生。内容包括： 1.表示欢迎： 2.活动目的和内容： 3.欢迎同学们踊跃参加，预祝活动圆满成功。 注意： 1.词数：不少于100词： 2.可适当加入细节，以使行文连贯： 3.开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入词数。 参考词汇：手工艺品artifact。.
