An apartment near the police station had caught fire and the dispatcher (调度员) reported a 3-year-old child trapped inside. Though firefighters were on the way, Tyler knew he could get there sooner. And so, the 25-year-old police officer raced to the scene determined to help. “I must save this child at all costs,” he thought. When Tyler Dison arrived at the apartment building, he saw fire flames shooting out of the windows. The police officer gave no thought to his own safety. Instead, he rushed into the flames. Rushing into the apartment filled with flames and thick, black smoke. Tyler immediately began searching for the child. The heat was unbearable but the brave officer refused to give up until, at last, he located the child. Officer Dison raced out with the 3-year-old boy in his arms, taking the child to his police car. The brave hero then drove to meet the ambulance (救护车) halfway so the boy could receive medical attention as quickly as possible. “If I hadn’t done something, that baby would have died,” Officer Dison explained. “His breathing was very shallow, and he wasn’t really responding.” Officer Dison got burned in his arm. However, it didn’t matter to Tyler Dison. All he cared about was saving the 3-year-old. And thanks to his courage, the little boy got the help he needed and is going to be just fine. “I’m so happy that baby is doing OK,” Tyler said. “I grew up in this town, I want to protect it always.” The call Tyler Dison received that day was unlike any one he had ever experienced.

And so, the 25-year-old police officer raced to the scene determined to help.(虽然消防员已经在路上了，但Tyler知道他可以更快到达那里。于是，这位25岁的警察迅速赶到现场，决心提供帮助)”可知，Tyler Dison在接到电话后选择赶往火灾现场，故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The brave hero then drove to meet the ambulance (救护车) halfway so the boy could receive medical attention as quickly as possible.(这位勇敢的英雄随后开车去接救护车，以便男孩能尽快接受治疗。)”和倒数第三段中“And thanks to his courage, the little boy got the help he needed and is going to be just fine.(多亏了他的勇气，小男孩得到了他需要的帮助，很快就会好起来的)”可知，男孩最终被救是因为他得到了及时的治疗，故选B。 26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The police officer gave no thought to his own safety.

Although there are still arguments about the extent of this type of memory in non-human animals, scientists have proved that creatures like rats and dogs can pass tests that are developed to assess episodic memory over the past two decades. “Curiously, there is a lack of research investigating dolphins’ episodic memory,” University of Cambridge cognitive (认知的) scientist James Davies says. Therefore, this surprising fact encourages him to fill this gap. The team used “where” and “who” questions in their research, each on a different test. Each dolphin was first trained to retrieve a ball from the water, and then trained to get a ball by approaching a person holding it in front of them while ignoring an empty-handed person standing at a different spot. During this training, the locations were randomized (使随机化) and the person holding the ball differed each time, so that those details were irrelevant to learning the retrieving behavior. Then, for the tests, the dolphins were asked to retrieve the ball as they had learned to do, but after 10 minutes, something changed-this time, the ball couldn’t be seen, as it was now behind one of the two people’s backs. In the “where” tests, the ball was hidden in the same spot as in the training, but both people had been changed, while in the “who” tests, the locations of the people changed but the ball remained with the person who’d had it previously. Eight dolphins went through each of the two tests, separated by at least 48 hours. All the dolphins got it right in choosing the correct spot on the “where” experiments, and seven achieved success on the “who” experiments. Kelly Jaakkola, a psychologist, says that based on their cognitive skills, dolphins are a good candidate for having episodic-like memory, and this study goes really far in showing that. She also says, “The more we look for such capabilities in non-human animals, the more species we’ll likely find them in.” She adds, “An exciting question is therefore ‘Where do we draw that line? Which animals do have it, which animals don’t, and what sort of cognitive or neurological or social characteristics do those animals share? ’ That’s going to be the fun part of the game.” 27. What does the underlined word “retrieve” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Fetch. B. Move. C. Throw. D. Play. 28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The locations of the people involved in the tests. B. The memory tasks that dolphins need to perform. C. The ability of dolphins to communicate with humans. D. The dolphins’ characteristics related to their memory processing. 29. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Dolphins pass the tests as a result of training. B. It is very likely that dolphins are affected by people during the tests. C. Scientists will probably find episodic memory in all non-human animals. D. The influence of dolphins’ familiarity with a location or a person is avoided. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Dolphins Are the Most Intelligent Animals B Dolphins May Remember Personal Experiences C. Episodic Memory Is Important for Humans and Animals D. A Scientific Method Is Used to Study Dolphins’ Memory 【答案】27. A 28. B 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明，海豚可能拥有情景记忆。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中根据划线单词上文“The team used “where” and “who” questions in their research, each on a different test.(研究小组在他们的研究中使用了“在哪里”和“谁”两个问题，每个问题都在不同的测试中使用。)”和划线单词所在句子“Each dolphin was first trained to retrieve a ball from the water, and then trained to get a ball by approaching a person holding it in front of them while ignoring an empty-handed person standing at a different spot. (每只海豚首先被训练从水中retrieve一个球，然后被训练通过接近一个拿着球的人而忽略站在不同位置的一个空手的人来获得一个球。)”可知，实验测试海豚的情景记忆，即识别“哪里”和“谁”的概念。由此可推知，retrieve与下文get意思相近，即每只海豚首先被训练从水中获取一个球，然后被训练通过接近一个拿着球的人而忽略站在不同位置的一个空手的人来获得一个球。故retrieve与A项“Fecth(获取)”意思一样，故选A。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“During this training, the locations were randomized(使随机化) and the person holding the ball differed each time, so that those details were irrelevant to learning the retrieving behavior. Then, for the tests, the dolphins were asked to retrieve the ball as they had learned to do, but after 10 minutes, something changed-this time, the ball couldn’t be seen, as it was now behind one of the two people’s backs. In the “where” tests, the ball was hidden in the same spot as in the training, but both people had been changed, while in the “who” tests, the locations of the people changed but the ball remained with the person who’d had it previously.(在这次训练中，地点是随机的，每次拿球的人都不一样，所以这些细节与学习取球行为无关。然后，在测试中，海豚被要求像它们学会的那样去捡球，但是10分钟后，情况发生了变化——这一次，球看不见了，因为它现在在两个人中的一个人的背后。在“哪里”测试中，球藏在与训练中相同的位置，但是两个人都被改变了，而在“谁”测试中，人的位置改变了，但是球仍然在之前拥有它的人手中。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了海豚需要完成的记忆任务。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the “where” tests, the ball was hidden in the same spot as in the training, but both people had been changed, while in the “who” tests, the locations of the people changed but the ball remained with the person who’d had it previously.(在“哪里”测试中，球藏在与训练中相同的位置，但是两个人都被改变了，而在“谁”测试中，人的位置改变了，但是球仍然在之前拥有它的人手中。)”可推知，实验中避开了海豚熟悉某个地点或某个人的影响，故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“Kelly Jaakkola, a psychologist, says that based on their cognitive skills, dolphins are a good candidate for having episodic-like memory, and this study goes really far in showing that. (心理学家Kelly Jaakkola说，基于它们的认知能力，海豚是拥有情节性记忆的很好的候选者，而这项研究表明了这一点。)”可知，文章主要介绍了研究表明，海豚可能拥有情景记忆，B项“海豚可能记得个人经历”适合作文章标题，故选B。 第二节：(共5小题； 每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。通过与其他材质的购物袋比较， 帆布购物袋更环保，更结实，可以重复使用，易清洗，也可在其他场合使用。 【31题详解】 根据上文“There are several reasons to use canvas (帆布) grocery bags or reusable grocery bags made from other materials. Some environmental organizations have been pushing for the use of such bags. (使用帆布购物袋或由其他材料制成的可重复使用的购物袋有几个原因。一些环保组织一直在推动使用这种购物袋。)”可知，一些环保组织提倡使用帆布的或者其他材料做的可反复使用的购物袋，E项“They point out reusable bags can be a small change with a big difference. (他们指出，可重复使用的购物袋可能是一个小小的改变，但却有很大的不同。)”，其中的They指代上文的Some environmental organizations，E项顺接上文，上下文衔接连贯，故选E项。 【32题详解】 上文“From an environmental aspect, canvas grocery bags are better choices than paper or plastic bags. (从环保的角度来看，帆布购物袋是比纸袋或塑料袋更好的选择。)”为本段的中心句，下文“Besides, turning to reusable supplies is viewed as greener than using disposable (一次性的) products, many of which wind up in landfills. (此外，使用可重复使用的产品被认为比使用一次性产品更环保，因为许多一次性产品最后都被填埋了。)”可知，下文与设空处为并列关系，从环保的角度解释“帆布购物袋比纸袋或塑料袋更好”，F项“Canvas is more environmentally friendly to produce than paper or plastic. (帆布生产起来比纸或塑料更环保。)”，F项阐述的是不同材料的购物袋在生产过程中环保程度的比较，下文则是从使用次数，以及最终处理方式方面的比较，上下文衔接连贯，故选F项。 【33题详解】 上文“Plastic grocery bags have a number of environmental disadvantages. When plastic grocery bags end up in the natural environment, they can cause a wide range of problems. Animals may choke on or be caught in such bags. (塑料购物袋对环境有许多不利之处。当塑料购物袋最终进入自然环境时，它们会引起广泛的问题。动物可能会被这些袋子噎住或夹住。)”，本段的第一句为中心句，表明本段主要讲述塑料购物袋不利环保。第二句为具体陈述塑料购物袋的第一个弊端，下文“While the bags may eventually break down, they can poison a wide range of sea creatures along the way. (虽然塑料袋最终可能会分解，但它们会毒害沿途的各种海洋生物。)”则说明塑料袋的分解也会毒害生物，D项“What’s worse, plastic can stay in the ocean for thousands of years. (更糟糕的是，塑料可以在海洋中停留数千年。)”，其中的What’s worse表明，D项顺接上文，plastic为复现词，陈述了塑料购物袋在海洋环境不利，故本段具体陈述了塑料袋导致的3个环境问题，上下文衔接连贯，故选D项。 【34题详解】 上文“As anyone who has had a bag broken open in the parking lot knows, it can be very upsetting to lose a lot of groceries to a poorly-constructed grocery bag. (任何一个在停车场被人弄坏过袋子的人都知道，因为一个构造不好的杂货袋而丢失了很多杂货，这是非常令人沮丧的。)”可知，本段说明了有的购物袋不结实，G项“However, canvas grocery bags can hold much more weight than regular ones. (然而，帆布购物袋比普通购物袋能承受更大的重量。)”，此处与上文为转折关系，强调了帆布袋的承重能力优于其他材料的购物袋，下文“They can also be easily washed in the event of leaks or spills. (在泄漏或溢出的情况下，它们也可以很容易地清洗。)”，此处的They指代G项中的canvas grocery bags，陈述了帆布购物袋的第二个优点，上下文衔接连贯顺畅，故选G项。 【35题详解】 设空处为本段的中心句，下文“For example, they can be used to pick up books at the library or carry other shopping, and they make great beach bags because of their washability. (例如，它们可以用来在图书馆取书或携带其他购物物品，而且由于它们的可洗性，它们是很棒的海滩包)”说明了这些包的其他用途，B项“Canvas grocery bags have uses beyond the grocery store. (帆布购物袋的用途超出了杂货店。)”，下文中的they指代B项中的Canvas grocery bags，下文起到举例说明的作用，上下文衔接连贯，故选B项。 第三节：(共4小题； 每小题2分，共8分) 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。 It was a dark and stormy night.

We men went outside, some holding flashlights and others cooking. We did a wonderful job. The women stayed inside and got the salads ready. Everything was delicious. There were still a few hours to go before the beginning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table and sang up until a few minutes before midnight. We couldn't watch the ball drop in Times Square on television but that wouldn't stop us from celebrating.

An apartment near the police station had caught fire and the dispatcher (调度员) reported a 3-year-old child trapped inside. Though firefighters were on the way, Tyler knew he could get there sooner. And so, the 25-year-old police officer raced to the scene determined to help. “I must save this child at all costs,” he thought. When Tyler Dison arrived at the apartment building, he saw fire flames shooting out of the windows. The police officer gave no thought to his own safety. Instead, he rushed into the flames. Rushing into the apartment filled with flames and thick, black smoke. Tyler immediately began searching for the child. The heat was unbearable but the brave officer refused to give up until, at last, he located the child. Officer Dison raced out with the 3-year-old boy in his arms, taking the child to his police car. The brave hero then drove to meet the ambulance (救护车) halfway so the boy could receive medical attention as quickly as possible. “If I hadn’t done something, that baby would have died,” Officer Dison explained. “His breathing was very shallow, and he wasn’t really responding.” Officer Dison got burned in his arm. However, it didn’t matter to Tyler Dison. All he cared about was saving the 3-year-old. And thanks to his courage, the little boy got the help he needed and is going to be just fine. “I’m so happy that baby is doing OK,” Tyler said. “I grew up in this town, I want to protect it always.” The call Tyler Dison received that day was unlike any one he had ever experienced.

C Episodic memory (情景记忆) allows humans to revisit past personal experiences in their minds, and it was once thought to be a special skill of humans. Although there are still arguments about the extent of this type of memory in non-human animals, scientists have proved that creatures like rats and dogs can pass tests that are developed to assess episodic memory over the past two decades. “Curiously, there is a lack of research investigating dolphins’ episodic memory,” University of Cambridge cognitive (认知的) scientist James Davies says. Therefore, this surprising fact encourages him to fill this gap. The team used “where” and “who” questions in their research, each on a different test. Each dolphin was first trained to retrieve a ball from the water, and then trained to get a ball by approaching a person holding it in front of them while ignoring an empty-handed person standing at a different spot. During this training, the locations were randomized (使随机化) and the person holding the ball differed each time, so that those details were irrelevant to learning the retrieving behavior. Then, for the tests, the dolphins were asked to retrieve the ball as they had learned to do, but after 10 minutes, something changed-this time, the ball couldn’t be seen, as it was now behind one of the two people’s backs. In the “where” tests, the ball was hidden in the same spot as in the training, but both people had been changed, while in the “who” tests, the locations of the people changed but the ball remained with the person who’d had it previously. Eight dolphins went through each of the two tests separated by at least 48 hours. All the dolphins got it right in choosing the correct spot on the “where” experiments, and seven achieved success on the “who” experiments. Kelly Jaakkola, a psychologist, says that based on their cognitive skills, dolphins are a good candidate for having episodic-like memory, and this study goes really far in showing that. She also says, “The more we look for such capabilities in non-human animals, the more species we’ll likely find them in.” She adds, “An exciting question is therefore ‘Where do we draw that line? Which animals do have it, which animals don’t, and what sort of cognitive or neurological or social characteristics do those animals share? ’ That’s going to be the fun part of the game.” 27. What does the underlined word “retrieve” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Fetch. B. Move. C. Throw. D. Play. 28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The locations of the people involved in the tests. B. The memory tasks that dolphins need to perform. C. The ability of dolphins to communicate with humans. D The dolphins’ characteristics related to their memory processing. 29 What can be inferred from the passage? A. Dolphins pass the tests as a result of training. B. It is very likely that dolphins are affected by people during the tests. C. Scientists will probably find episodic memory in all non-human animals. D The influence of dolphins’ familiarity with a location or a person is avoided. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Dolphins Are the Most Intelligent Animals B. Dolphins May Remember Personal Experiences C. Episodic Memory Is Important for Humans and Animals D. A Scientific Method Is Used to Study Dolphins’ Memory 第二节：(共5小题； 每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.
