In 1924, she left her children in Russia and went to Paris for an art job. Little did she know that she would not return until 1965, due to strict rules in place in Russia and the complicated backdrop (背景) of World War I. Her paintings often featured landscapes near her family home and moments from her children’s daily lives. A year after her return to Russia, her daughter organized three successful exhibitions to celebrate her work. Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) Mary Cassatt was one of four women invited to exhibit with the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874. Following Cassatt’s sister’s diagnosis with a serious kidney disease, Cassatt only painted her extended family in private settings, with women and children as her special focus. Cassatt was hugely successful and her influence continues to be felt today. Joan Mitchell (1925-1992) Joan Mitchell was a leading young painter of her time in New York, part of the influential Artists’ Club and a participant in the 1951 Ninth Street Show that introduced Abstract Expressionism. However, in 1959, she moved to France, where she lived in a house that overlooked a landscape painted by Monet. Inspired by nature and great modern artists like Cézanne, Matisse, and Monet, she aimed to capture feelings rather than recognizable landscapes in her art. Emily Kame Kngwarreye (1909-1996) An Aboriginal elder, Emily Kame Kngwarreye was one of Australia’s most important artists. Drawing on her experience making works with sand and batik (蜡染) as well as ceremonial body painting, she made her first painting on canvas when she was 79. Over the following eight years, she produced another 3,000, one of which became the first work by a female Australian artist to sell for over a million dollars. 36. What is a shared characteristic of Zinaida Serebriakova and Joan Mitchell? A. They mixed different painting styles. B. They painted to provide for their families. C. They were forced to leave their home countries. D. They found inspiration in their surroundings. 37. Who was invited to showcase her work at the first Impressionist exhibition? A. Joan Mitchell. B. Mary Cassatt. C. Zinaida Serebriakova. D. Emily Kame Kngwarreye. 38. How was Emily Kame Kngwarreye different from the other painters? A. She did body painting. B. She was highly productive. C. She rose to fame at an early age. D. She primarily painted landscapes. 39. What is the primary purpose of this article? A. To criticize the lack of opportunities for female artists in the past. B. To compare and contrast the artistic styles of the four featured artists. C To highlight the achievements and contributions of four influential female artists. D. To argue for the importance of international travel for artistic inspiration. 40. This article is most likely to have been published in which type of book? A. Political History B. Contemporary Art C. Medical Advances D. Environmental Conservation B For Derek Veal, it all started when he explored his grandfather’s old house in Georgia. He found an old suitcase filled with photographs, some more than 100 years old. 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(旧货店), 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(家谱学) 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 Internet and even social media to track down the families and faces in the lost photos. David Gutenmacher, 26, lives in Queens, New York, and started his project, Museum of Lost Memories, in late 2020. He has already had over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 750,000 on TikTok. “Some of my posts have gone viral and twice a person or family was tracked down in a matter of minutes!” Gutenmacher said. The motivation behind this hobby seems to be a combination of enjoying the detective work it takes to solve the puzzle, and the memories these lost pictures can bring back to the families they belong to. What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others, but it also brings these enthusiasts a sense of purpose. “I feel like this is my calling” said Gutenmacher. “The more I return memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.” 41. According to the text, what changed Veal’s life? A. His awareness of the value of old photos. B. The true stories about his great-grandmother. C. His family’s history shown in the photographs. D. The photo-taking project of his grandfather’s old house. 42. What is the main focus of the third paragraph? A. The negative impact of Alzheimer’s on Derek Veal’s great-grandmother. B. The emotional response of Derek Veal’s great-grandmother to the old photographs. C. The historical value of the photographs found in Derek Veal’s grandfather’s house. D. The financial burden of caring for Derek Veal’s great-grandmother in a nursing home. 43. What do the underlined words “have gone viral” mean in paragraph 6? A. Have been updated regularly. B. Have made people think deeply. C. Have received some comments. D. Have spread quickly and widely. 44. How does Gutenmacher feel about what he does with the lost photographs? A. It’s not easy. B. It’s not enough. C. It’s his duty. D. It’s just a hobby. 45. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text? 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 C 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. 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 learning, then it would have been an impressive result. But this was spontaneous.” So perhaps it’s time to stop saying “birdbrain” permanently! 46. 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. 47. 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. C. The birds picked almost all the correct cards in RMTS. D. In the IMTS test, the birds needed to identify the sample card to get rewards. 48. In the RMTS test, if the birds were given the sample 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 49. The underlined word “spontaneous” in the second-to-last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. central B. creative C. natural D. predictable 50. 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 D 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 Journal 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 (鸟舍) 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. 51. 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. 52. 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 C. By measuring their metabolic rate while hovering. D. By observing their dietary changes in a new environment. 53. Which best describes Anna’s hummingbirds’ hovering performance at higher altitudes? A. Weakened. B. Enhanced. C. Unaffected D. Energized. 54. 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 55. 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） 第四部分：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） 阅读表达 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 actually fit 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(有移情作用的)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 learning and deepened self-understanding. As I head off to sophomore year, I plan to bring this good with me. 56. How was the author's freshman year in college? (no more than 5 words) 57. What troubled the author in his first several months in college? (no more than 10 words) 58. Why did the author switch to philosophy? (no more than 10 words) 59. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean? (no more than 10 words) 60. What do you think of the author? Please explain.

In 1924, she left her children in Russia and went to Paris for an art job. Little did she know that she would not return until 1965, due to strict rules in place in Russia and the complicated backdrop (背景) of World War I. Her paintings often featured landscapes near her family home and moments from her children’s daily lives. A year after her return to Russia, her daughter organized three successful exhibitions to celebrate her work. Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) Mary Cassatt was one of four women invited to exhibit with the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874. Following Cassatt’s sister’s diagnosis with a serious kidney disease, Cassatt only painted her extended family in private settings, with women and children as her special focus. Cassatt was hugely successful and her influence continues to be felt today. Joan Mitchell (1925-1992) Joan Mitchell was a leading young painter of her time in New York, part of the influential Artists’ Club and a participant in the 1951 Ninth Street Show that introduced Abstract Expressionism. However, in 1959, she moved to France, where she lived in a house that overlooked a landscape painted by Monet. Inspired by nature and great modern artists like Cézanne, Matisse, and Monet, she aimed to capture feelings rather than recognizable landscapes in her art. Emily Kame Kngwarreye (1909-1996) An Aboriginal elder, Emily Kame Kngwarreye was one of Australia’s most important artists. Drawing on her experience making works with sand and batik (蜡染) as well as ceremonial body painting, she made her first painting on canvas when she was 79. Over the following eight years, she produced another 3,000, one of which became the first work by a female Australian artist to sell for over a million dollars. 36. What is a shared characteristic of Zinaida Serebriakova and Joan Mitchell? A. They mixed different painting styles. B. They painted to provide for their families. C. They were forced to leave their home countries. D. They found inspiration in their surroundings. 37. Who was invited to showcase her work at the first Impressionist exhibition? A. Joan Mitchell. B. Mary Cassatt. C. Zinaida Serebriakova. D. Emily Kame Kngwarreye. 38. How was Emily Kame Kngwarreye different from the other painters? A. She did body painting. B. She was highly productive. C. She rose to fame at an early age. D. She primarily painted landscapes. 39. What is the primary purpose of this article? A. To criticize the lack of opportunities for female artists in the past. B. To compare and contrast the artistic styles of the four featured artists. C. To highlight the achievements and contributions of four influential female artists. D. To argue for the importance of international travel for artistic inspiration. 40. This article is most likely to have been published in which type of book? A. Political History B. Contemporary Art C. Medical Advances D. Environmental Conservation 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四位不同时代和背景的女性艺术家的生平与成就。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据Zinaida Serebriakova (1884-1967) 部分“Her paintings often featured landscapes near her family home and moments from her children’s daily lives.(她的画作经常以她家附近的风景和孩子们的日常生活为特色)”和Joan Mitchell (1925-1992)部分“Inspired by nature and great modern artists like Cé zanne, Matisse, and Monet, she aimed to capture feelings rather than recognizable landscapes in her art.(她的灵感来自大自然和伟大的现代艺术家，如Cé zanne、Matisse和Monet，她的目标是捕捉情感，而不是在她的艺术中捕捉可识别的风景)”可知，Zinaida Serebriakova和Joan Mitchell共同的特点是他们在周围环境中找到灵感。故选D项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) 部分“Mary Cassatt was one of four women invited to exhibit with the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874. (Mary Cassatt是受邀参加1874年巴黎首届印象派画展的四名女性之一)”可知，Mary Cassatt被邀请在第一届印象派画展上展示她的作品。故选B项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据Emily Kame Kngwarreye (1909-1996) 部分“Drawing on her experience making works with sand and batik (蜡染) as well as ceremonial body painting, she made her first painting on canvas when she was 79. (在79岁时，她利用沙子和蜡染以及仪式人体彩绘的创作经验，在画布上创作了自己的第一幅画)”可知，Emily Kame Kngwarreye与其他画家的不同之处在于她画人体彩绘。故选A项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据每一部分的第一句即第一部分的“Following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and her husband’s death a year later, Zinaida Serebriakova struggled to make a living as an artist. (1917年俄国爆发布尔什维克革命，一年后她的丈夫去世, Zinaida Serebriakova努力成为一名艺术家以谋生)”，第二部分的“Mary Cassatt was one of four women invited to exhibit with the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874. (Mary Cassatt是1874年第一次印象派展览会邀请参展的四位女性画家之一) ”，第三部分的“Joan Mitchell was a leading young painter of her time in New York, part of the influential Artists’ Club and a participant in the 1951 Ninth Street Show that introduced Abstract Expressionism. (Joan Mitchell是20世纪50年代纽约最杰出的年轻画家之一，是具有影响力的艺术家俱乐部的成员，并参加了1951年的第九届画展，该画展首次向公众展示了抽象表现主义)”，以及第四部分的“An Aboriginal elder, Emily Kame Kngwarreye was one of Australia’s most important artists. (作为一名土著老人，Emily Kame Kngwarreye是澳大利亚最重要的艺术家之一)”可知，这篇文章的目的是为了介绍四位有影响力的女性艺术家的成就。故选C项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据每一部分的小标题以及第一句可知，本文介绍了四位女性艺术家，所以这篇文章最有可能发表在现代艺术这个题材相关的书中。故选B项。 B For Derek Veal, it all started when he explored his grandfather’s old house in Georgia. He found an old suitcase filled with photographs, some more than 100 years old. 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(旧货店), 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(家谱学) 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 Internet and even social media to track down the families and faces in the lost photos. David Gutenmacher, 26, lives in Queens, New York, and started his project, Museum of Lost Memories, in late 2020. He has already had over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 750,000 on TikTok. “Some of my posts have gone viral and twice a person or family was tracked down in a matter of minutes!” Gutenmacher said. The motivation behind this hobby seems to be a combination of enjoying the detective work it takes to solve the puzzle, and the memories these lost pictures can bring back to the families they belong to. What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others, but it also brings these enthusiasts a sense of purpose. “I feel like this is my calling” said Gutenmacher. “The more I return memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.” 41. According to the text, what changed Veal’s life? A. His awareness of the value of old photos. B. The true stories about his great-grandmother. C. His family’s history shown in the photographs. D. The photo-taking project of his grandfather’s old house. 42. What is the main focus of the third paragraph? A. The negative impact of Alzheimer’s on Derek Veal’s great-grandmother. B. The emotional response of Derek Veal’s great-grandmother to the old photographs. C. The historical value of the photographs found in Derek Veal’s grandfather’s house. D. The financial burden of caring for Derek Veal’s great-grandmother in a nursing home. 43. What do the underlined words “have gone viral” mean in paragraph 6? A. Have been updated regularly. B. Have made people think deeply. C. Have received some comments. D. Have spread quickly and widely. 44. How does Gutenmacher feel about what he does with the lost photographs? A. It’s not easy. B. It’s not enough. C. It’s his duty. D. It’s just a hobby. 45. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text? 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 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. D 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述一些人利用旧照片帮助人们恢复记忆甚至找到家人的故事。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The experience made Veal realize the power of old photographs to hold precious and long-forgotten memories and restore a sense of identity.(这段经历让Veal意识到旧照片的力量，可以保存珍贵而被遗忘已久的记忆，恢复身份感)”可知，Veal意识到旧照片的力量，从此改变了他的生活。故选A。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“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.”(“当她看到这些照片时，一切都想起来了，”瓦尔说。“她认出了自己的姐妹、阿姨、祖父母……这是我第一次看到人们从一张老照片中恢复过来的快乐。”)”可知，第三段的重点是德里克·瓦尔的曾祖母看到这些老照片时的情绪反应。故选B项。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“They also use the internet and even social media to track down the families and faces in the lost photos.(他们还利用互联网甚至社交媒体追踪丢失照片中的家人和面孔)”和第六段“He has already had over 300, 000 followers on Instagram and over 750, 000 on TikTok. “Some of my posts have gone viral and twice a person or family was tracked down in a matter of minutes!” Gutenmacher said.(他在Instagram上已经有超过30万粉丝，在TikTok上也有超过75万粉丝。古滕马赫说：“我的一些帖子在网上have gone viral，而且在几分钟之内就有人或家庭被追踪到了！”)”可知，这里指他们利用网络帮助人们找寻照片上的家人，所以他们一把照片发布到网上，应该是会有很多的人看到并转发，所以have gone viral的意思应该是“疯传”，和选项D意思一致。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others, but it also brings these enthusiasts a sense of purpose. “I feel like this is my calling,” said Gutenmacher. “The more I return memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.”(这种爱好之所以如此独特，不仅是因为它给了人们帮助他人的机会，还给这些爱好者带来了目标感。古滕马赫说：“我觉得这是我的使命。我越是回忆，就越觉得我应该这样做。”)”可推知，对古滕马赫来说，发布那些照片是他的责任和使命。故选C。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The experience made Veal realize the power of old photographs to hold precious and long-forgotten memories and restore a sense of identity. (这段经历让Veal意识到旧照片的力量，可以保存珍贵而被遗忘已久的记忆，恢复身份感)”和最后一段“What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others, but it also brings these enthusiasts a sense of purpose. “I feel like this is my calling,” said Gutenmacher. “The more I return memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.”(这种爱好之所以如此独特，不仅是因为它给了人们帮助他人的机会，还给这些爱好者带来了目标感。古滕马赫说：“我觉得这是我的使命。我越是回忆，就越觉得我应该这样做。”)”可知，文章主要讲述一些人利用旧照片帮助人们恢复记忆甚至找到家人的故事。由此可知，Returning Lost Memories(找回失去的记忆)适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。 C 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. 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 learning, then it would have been an impressive result. But this was spontaneous.” So perhaps it’s time to stop saying “birdbrain” permanently! 46. 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. 47. 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. C. The birds picked almost all the correct cards in RMTS. D. In the IMTS test, the birds needed to identify the sample card to get rewards. 48. In the RMTS test, if the birds were given the sample 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 49. The underlined word “spontaneous” in the second-to-last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. central B. creative C. natural D. predictable 50. 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 【答案】46. D 47. D 48. A 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们发现乌鸦可以理解类比，介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及专家对乌鸦学习能力的看法。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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.(在英语中，人们可能会用“birdbrain”这个表达来形容某人很愚蠢，但是乌鸦证明了这是不公平的。现在人们发现，乌鸦可以理解类比)”以及第二段“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.(人们曾经认为只有人类才能理解类比，这有助于我们创造性地解决问题，将事物分类，并进行科学发现)”可推知，作者在开篇提到了“birdbrain”这个表达是为了引出关于乌鸦智力的最新发现。故选D。 47题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“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.(在IMTS测试中，鸟儿被放在一个有塑料托盘的笼子里，里面有三张卡片和两个杯子。中间的卡片是样品卡。两边的杯子里则放着另外两张卡片。其中一张与样本相同（颜色、形状或图片中的形状数量），而另一张则不相同。装有与样品卡相匹配的卡片的杯子里有两条虫子可以吃)”可知，D选项“在IMTS测试中，鸟儿需要识别样本卡才能获得奖励”正确。故选D。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“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.( 据IFL科学网站报道，为了在动物身上测试这种能力，科学家们做了“与样本相关匹配”（RMTS）测试。例如，如果一对是AA，那么选择BB来匹配它将是正确的。如果这一对是CD，那么EF是正确的)”可知，在RMTS测试中，如果给鸟两个相同大小的三角形样本卡，它们必须选择两个相同大小的圆形测试卡。故选A。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Honestly, if it was only by force that the crows showed this learning, then it would have been an impressive result. But this was”可知，说实话，如果乌鸦只是通过武力来显示这种学习能力，那么这将是一个令人印象深刻的结果，but表示转折，说明这种能力不是靠武力而是自然拥有的。故画线词意思是“自然的”。A. central中心的；B. creative有创造力的；C. natural自然的；D. predictable可预测的。故选C。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“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.(在英语中，人们可能会用“birdbrain”这个表达来形容某人很愚蠢，但是乌鸦证明了这是不公平的。 现在人们发现，乌鸦可以理解类比)”结合文章主要说明了人们发现乌鸦可以理解类比，介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及专家对乌鸦学习能力的看法。可知，B选项“乌鸦显示聪明”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D 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 Journal 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 (鸟舍) 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. 51. 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. 52 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 C. By measuring their metabolic rate while hovering. D. By observing their dietary changes in a new environment. 53. Which best describes Anna’s hummingbirds’ hovering performance at higher altitudes? A. Weakened. B. Enhanced. C. Unaffected D. Energized. 54. 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 55. 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. 【答案】51. D 52. C 53. A 54. C 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了关于安娜蜂鸟的一项科学研究，探讨了这种鸟在气候变化影响下尝试向更高海拔地区迁移时可能面临的问题。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“That expansion is probably due to climate change and people using feeders to attract hummingbirds, he says. (他说，这种扩张可能是由于气候变化和人们使用喂食器来吸引蜂鸟。)”可知，人类使用喂食器是让蜂鸟扩大飞行范围的原因之一，故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“The team transported the birds to an aviary (鸟舍) 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. (研究小组将这些鸟运送到海拔约1200米的鸟舍，并测量它们悬停时的代谢率。在将蜂鸟安置到海拔3800米的野外观测站后，研究人员让这些鸟休息至少12小时，然后再次测量这一速度。)”可知，科学家通过测量蜂鸟在盘旋时的新陈代谢率来研究高海拔对蜂鸟的影响。故选C。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“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.” (在海拔较高的地方，这一比率平均比鸟舍低37%，尽管鸟类在稀薄的空气中应该更加努力地飞行。斯宾塞说，在更高的高度，悬停是非常具有挑战性的，与其他形式的飞行相比，它需要更多的能量。他说，代谢率的下降表明，这些鸟的悬停性能受到了影响。“低氧和低气压可能会阻碍它们向上坡移动。”)”可知，蜂鸟在高海拔的盘旋性能是减弱的，故选A。 【54题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Cooler, higher places may not be very welcoming to some hummingbirds trying to escape rising temperatures and other effects of climate change. (对于一些蜂鸟来说，更凉爽、更高的地方可能不太欢迎它们，因为它们试图逃避气温上升和气候变化的其他影响。)”可知，文章主要介绍了蜂鸟在高海拔飞行所面临的挑战。故选C。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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. (如果给它们几周或几个月的时间来适应海拔逐渐升高的环境，它们是否能够更好地适应，还需要进一步的研究。)”可知，研究人员下一步想研究蜂鸟能否在过一段时间后适应高海拔，故选C。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共35分） 第四部分：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） 阅读表达 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 actually fit 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(有移情作用的)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 learning and deepened self-understanding. As I head off to sophomore year, I plan to bring this good with me. 56. How was the author's freshman year in college? (no more than 5 words) 57. What troubled the author in his first several months in college? (no more than 10 words) 58. Why did the author switch to philosophy? (no more than 10 words) 59. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean? (no more than 10 words) 60. What do you think of the author? Please explain. (no more than 25 words) 【答案】56. It was stressful and difficult. 57. That he found it challenging to make adjustments. 58. Because he didn't like his major but enjoyed philosophy. 59. I have always been very interested in philosophy. 60. I think he is brave. Because he overcame the challenges and made changes with a positive attitude. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在大一时遇到了一些挑战，并成功克服的故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“ 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.（我听说过很多关于大一时压力有多大的故事，这可能是我不得不经历的最困难的事。确实，故事的大部分都符合现实。）”可知，作者的大一是有压力且困难的。故答案为It was stressful and difficult。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据“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.（在刚开始的前几个月里，我渴望提升我的社交技巧，和人们交朋友。就我个人而言，在想要调整而不是简单地去适应这件事上我很纠结。适应需要为了融入而改变自己的行为，但我不想要这样做。）”可知，作者发现在人际关系中只是做出调整是具有挑战性的。故答案为That he found it challenging to make adjustments. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“But I later discovered that it didn't actually fit my likes.(但是不久我发现我并不喜欢这个专业)”和第四段“To be honest, I've never had to read such challenging texts in my life, but I enjoy it.(说实话，我从来没有读过如此有挑战性的文章，但是我很享受。)”可知，作者不喜欢原来的专业但是十分喜欢哲学，因此转到了哲学系。故填Because he didn't like his major but enjoyed philosophy. 【59题详解】 考查句意猜测。根据画线句子上文“Ever since I was younger, I have known I wanted to work in the field.(尽管那时我还小，我就已经知道我想要在这个领域工作。)”和下文“To be honest, I've never had to read such challenging texts in my life, but I enjoy it.(说实话，我从来没有读过如此有挑战性的文章，但是我很享受。)可推知，画线句子表达的意思是“我”对哲学很感兴趣。故填I have always been very interested in philosophy. 【60题详解】 考查主观判断。根据最后一段“I eventually overcame the obstacles.(我最终克服了所有障碍。)”和下文“As I head off to sophomore year, I plan to bring this good with me.(当我进入大二的时候，我会坚持带着这些美好的事物前行。)”可以判断出，作者能够克服困难，并且带着积极的态度去面对，因此认为作者是一个勇敢的人。故填I think he is brave. Because he overcame the challenges and made changes with a positive attitude。 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 你是晨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 Dear teachers and fellow students, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That’s all!
