He was the eldest of five children born into a middle-class family in Bologna, Italy. His early love of art upset his father, who wanted his son to work with him in his export business. Morandi attempted the business unsuccessfully in 1906. After that, Morandi entered the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1907. He continued his study with the support of his friends when his father suddenly passed away in 1908, forcing him to support his mother and younger sisters. During that time, he was introduced to Cubism and Futurism, which influenced his early work. After he graduated from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1913, Morandi continued his study by traveling around Italy, especially to the Venice Biennale. Those tours would finally prove important, as much of Morandi’s exposure (接触) to painters came from published art works on the journey. He was particularly interested in the work of Impressionists like Claude Monet, as well as following greats such as Georges Seurat and Paul Cézanne. After Morandi finished his traveling, he returned home and lived with his family. For many years, Morandi kept a peaceful daily routine. And he did most of his work in his workshop, a small room in a flat he shared with his mother and sisters. Life wasn’t easy for him at first, but he quickly established himself as an important modern artist. His mastery of a skill of color, light and arrangement began to gain notice, shining in the face of present painting in the manner of abstraction (抽象). And he was named “one of the greatest painters living” by Roberto Longhi in 1934. 4. Why did Morandi’s early love of art worry his father? A. It took Morandi too much time. B. His father didn’t have money to support Morandi. C. His father wanted Morandi to follow in his footsteps. D. There were no suitable art teachers for Morandi. 5. What did Morandi do in 1913? A. He tried his father’s business. B. He started his university life. C. He traveled with his father. D. He finished his study in school. 6. What played a leading role in shaping Morandi as a successful modern artist? A. His love for his family. B. His tours around Italy. C. His middle-class background. D. His exposure to his father’s business. 7. How does the author mainly develop the text? A. By asking questions. B. By providing examples. C. By following time order. D. By making a comparison. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了意大利著名画家Giorgio Morandi的生平。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“His early love of art upset his father, who wanted his son to work with him in his export business.(他早年对艺术的热爱让他的父亲很不高兴，他想让儿子和他一起做出口生意)”可知，Morandi的父亲之所以对他的艺术热情感到烦恼，是因为他的父亲想让他子从父业，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After he graduated from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1913, Morandi continued his study by traveling around Italy, especially to the Venice Biennale.(1913年从博洛尼亚美术学院毕业后，Morandi继续在意大利各地旅行，特别是参加威尼斯双年展)”可知，Morandi于1913年毕业。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Morandi continued his study by traveling around Italy, especially to the Venice Biennale. Those tours would finally prove important, as much of Morandi’s exposure (接触) to painters came from published art works on the journey.(Morandi继续在意大利各地旅行，特别是参加威尼斯双年展。这些旅行最终被证明是重要的，因为Morandi接触画家的大部分机会都来自于旅行中发表的艺术作品)”可推断，在意大利旅行的经历奠定了Morandi的艺术成就的基石。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Morandi attempted the business unsuccessfully in 1906.(Morandi在1906年尝试经营，但没有成功)”、第二段中“After that, Morandi entered the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1907. He continued his study with the support of his friends when his father suddenly passed away in 1908(此后，Morandi于1907年进入博洛尼亚美术学院。1908年，他的父亲突然去世，在朋友的帮助下，他继续学习)”、第三段中“After he graduated from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1913(1913年从博洛尼亚美术学院毕业后)”、第四段中“After Morandi finished his traveling(Morandi结束了他的旅行后)”以及最后一段中“And he was named ‘one of the greatest painters living’ by Roberto Longhi in 1934.(1934年，他被罗伯托·隆吉评为‘在世最伟大的画家之一’)”可知，文章通过时间线介绍了意大利艺术家Giorgio Morandi的成长之路。故选C。 C Every year the start of the Atlantic hurricane season is another reminder for Margarite August that she still doesn’t have a roof. The 70-year-old retired teacher’s home on the small Caribbean island nation of Dominica was mostly wiped out by hurricane Maria six years ago. Six years after hurricane Maria, Dominicans like Margarite August still haven’t been able to rehabilitate their homes. August is not alone. Since Maria, the government of Dominica has built 7,000 new homes—about a quarter of its housing stock-with materials to fight another Category 5 hurricane. They’ve also relocated two communities. But an untold number of the island’s 70,000 or so residents are like August, rebuilding their homes in any way they can afford. Hurricane Maria is often referred to as a once-in-a-lifetime disaster. Scientists put much of the blame on warming ocean temperatures that could make frequent (频繁的) storms like it. Maria damaged a terrible 95% of Dominica’s housing stock and 226% of the nation’s GDP. Before the storm, the country’s economy had long struggled since its independence from Great Britain in 1978. Unlike its more famous touristy neighbors along the chain of eastern Caribbean islands it lies on, Dominica is more known for its rugged mountains and jungles (丛林) than white sandy beaches. The jungle mountains that crash down to the coast are beautiful but disasters visit easily. “I don’t think anybody ever got over Maria,” says Christine John of the Dominica Red Cross. “There are a lot of persons today—if it just starts to rain outside, they get anxious.” 8. What does the underlined word “rehabilitate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Rebuild. B. Leave. C. Decorate. D. Buy. 9. What is the main cause of frequent extreme storms according to scientists? A. Over-farming. B. Loss of the land. C. The disappearance of the forests. D. Climate change. 10. What is Dominica known for according to the text? A. Its good economy. B. Its architecture. C. Its mountains and jungles. D. Its sandy beaches. 11. Why are Dominicans nervous when it rains? A. They have to stay bored at home. B. Their houses are easy to take in water. C. They don’t know how to make umbrellas. D. They are afraid of another disaster like Maria. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了飓风玛丽亚对加勒比海小国多米尼加造成了严重破坏，但岛上的很多居民仍然无法重建家园。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Every year the start of the Atlantic hurricane season is another reminder for Margarite August that she still doesn’t have a roof. (每年大西洋飓风季节的开始都会再次提醒玛格丽特·奥古斯特，她仍然没有一个屋顶。)”以及第四段“But an untold number of the island’s 70,000 or so residents are like August, rebuilding their homes in any way they can afford. (但岛上大约7万居民中，有无数人像奥古斯特一样，以他们负担得起的任何方式重建家园。)”可知，奥古斯特的家被飓风毁了，但是她无法重建家园。故划线词意思是“重建”。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Scientists put much of the blame on warming ocean temperatures that could make frequent (频繁的) storms like it. (科学家们把大部分责任归咎于海洋温度升高，这可能会导致类似的风暴频繁发生。)”可知，科学家认为气候变暖是引起极端风暴频发的主要原因。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Unlike its more famous touristy neighbors along the chain of eastern Caribbean islands it lies on, Dominica is more known for its rugged mountains and jungles (丛林) than white sandy beaches. (与其位于东加勒比群岛上的著名旅游邻国不同，多米尼加以其崎岖的山脉和丛林而闻名，而不是白色的沙滩。)”可知，Dominica以高山和丛林闻名。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题，根据最后一段““I don’t think anybody ever got over Maria,” says Christine John of the Dominica Red Cross. “There are a lot of persons today—if it just starts to rain outside, they get anxious.” (多米尼克红十字会的克里斯汀·约翰说：“我认为没有人能忘记玛丽亚。今天有很多人——如果外面开始下雨，他们就会焦虑。”)”可推知，Dominican谈雨色变主要是因为他们还没从风暴Maia带来的阴影中走出来，故选D。 D Animals, including humans, feel sound as well as hear it, and some of the most meaningful communication happens at frequencies (频率) that people can’t hear. Elephants, for example, use these low-frequency sounds to, among other things, find family or a mate across long distances. Whales do it, too. But you don’t have to weigh a ton to make a sound. In fact, you don’t have to be bigger than a pea. Consider, for example, the tree-hopper, a curious little animal that lives on the stems (茎) of the leaves. University of Missouri biologist Rex Cocroft has spent much of his time listening closely to tree-hoppers with his team. The team discovers that all the sounds being heard from tree-hoppers are produced by males. They do it by vibrating (振动) their abdomens (腹部) to make a wide variety of strange sounds. There is almost no airborne sound produced with these vibrational sounds. Cocroft explained, “If a tree-hopper were to stand on your finger and produce a sound, you would feel the vibration but hear no sound.” They showed that some sounds, not surprisingly, seem to be aimed at attracting females. And some are aimed at other males. Cocroft explained, “When two males meet each other, or when they are mate-searching on a branch, we’re hearing ‘purring, bdddddrrrr…’ sounds that males give.” Normally, a person couldn’t hear any of this, because the sound travels along the stem, inside it. And that’s how other tree-hoppers detect it. Cocroft said tree-hoppers have very sensitive legs. And they stand around on stems, which are good at spreading vibrations. So they just use what nature gives them to communicate with each other. “They have so many different forms of social behavior and grouping,” Cocroft explained. “And once there are animals living in groups, then there will be all sorts of interesting possibilities for communication.” 12. What does Cocroft’s research focus on about tree-hoppers? A. Their variety. B. Their communication. C. Their living areas. D. Their numbers. 13. What can we know about tree-hoppers? A. They sense sounds by legs. B. They knock the stems to make sounds. C. Their sounds can be easily heard by humans. D. Females make sounds to meet each other 14. What does Cocroft say about animals’ living in groups? A. It is key to their survival. B. It drives an increase in their numbers. C. It often leads to communication. D. It contributes much to the division of animal types. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A Magic Moment in Nature B. A Journey to the Wildlife C. Learning From Nature D. Communication Sounds Among Animals 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，本文以角蝉为例，详细地说明了动物间交流的声音。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“University of Missouri biologist Rex Cocroft has spent much of his time listening closely to tree-hoppers with his team. (密苏里大学的生物学家Rex Cocroft花了很多时间和他的团队密切关注角蝉。)”和倒数第二段“Cocroft said tree-hoppers have very sensitive legs. And they stand around on stems, which are good at spreading vibrations. So they just use what nature gives them to communicate with each other. (Cocroft说，角蝉的腿非常敏感。它们站在茎上，茎善于传播振动。所以它们只是用大自然赋予它们的东西来相互交流。)”可推断，Cocroft主要研究角蝉间的交流，故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Cocroft said tree-hoppers have very sensitive legs. And they stand around on stems, which are good at spreading vibrations. So they just use what nature gives them to communicate with each other. (Cocroft说，角蝉的腿非常敏感。它们站在茎上，茎善于传播振动。所以它们只是用大自然赋予它们的东西来相互交流。)”可知，角蝉通过腿感知声音，故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘They have so many different forms of social behavior and grouping,’ Cocroft explained. ‘And once there are animals living in groups, then there will be all sorts of interesting possibilities for communication.’ (‘它们有很多不同形式的社会行为和群体，’Cocroft解释说。‘一旦有动物群居生活，那么就会有各种有趣的交流可能性。’)”可知，动物的群居有利于它们的交流，故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Animals, including humans, feel sound as well as hear it, and some of the most meaningful communication happens at frequencies (频率) that people can’t hear. (包括人类在内的动物不仅能听到声音，还能感觉到声音，而且一些最有意义的交流发生在人们听不到的频率上。)”可知，本文以角蝉为例，详细地说明了动物间交流的声音，故选D。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Those who have a go-getter mentality (心态) are seen as the high achievers of this world.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何拥有积极进取的态度。 【16题详解】 空处是段落小标题，需统领段落内容，且需和其他标题一样使用祈使句的形式。后文“Bite-sized goals are important. They allow you to experience achievement and therefore allow you to reward yourself, finally contributing to the improvement of your motivation and driving you to achieve more. (小目标很重要。它们让你体验成就，从而让你奖励自己，最终有助于提高你的动力，推动你取得更多成就)”主要说明了小目标的重要性，说明其作用，因此B项“Set up bite-sized goals (设定小目标)”符合语境，建议设定小目标，契合段落内容，适合作为标题，其中的bite-sized goals和段落中的Bite-sized goals是同词复现。故选B。 【17题详解】 本段小标题“Have a clear idea and be intentional (有心的) (有一个明确的想法，并有意为之)”建议明确想法，并跟着该想法去行动，后文“having detailed goals in mind, writing them down, and describing them are some of the first steps to be successful (在脑海中有详细的目标，把它们写下来，描述出来，这些都是成功的第一步)”描述了标题中明确想法的操作，说明其重要性，因此D项“Knowing where you want to go (知道你想去哪里)”符合语境，提出要知道去哪儿，引出后续的操作，呼应标题中的Have a clear idea。故选D。 【18题详解】 前文“There is no point in doing something if you’re not intentional about what you do. (如果你不是有意为之，那么做一件事是没有意义的)”强调了意愿对于做事的意义，后文“even a small stone in your path will stop you (即使是路上的一块小石头也会阻止你)”说明了一种负面的情况，因此E项“If you don’t want to achieve something (如果你不想有所成就)”符合语境，假设没有意愿的情形，承前启后，引出后面的情况。故选E。 【19题详解】 前文“It’s also important to look at your mistakes as chances to improve yourself. (把你的错误看作是提高自己的机会也很重要)”建议积极地看待错误，使之成为提高自己的机会，后文“If, for example, you work on a project that receives unpleasant comments, use those comments to improve your project and present it again. (例如，如果你从事的项目收到了不愉快的评论，请使用这些评论来改进你的项目并再次提交)”给出具体例子，展示如何对待错误，因此G项“Learn from them and quickly put the learning into action (向它们学习，并迅速将所学付诸行动)”符合语境，说明应从错误中学习，承接前文对待错误的态度，引出后文的例子，其中的them指代前文的your mistakes。故选G。 【20题详解】 前文“Also, you can look back and remind yourself of what you’ve already achieved, and don’t undervalue any of them. (同时，你可以回顾并提醒自己已经取得的成就，不要低估其中任何一个)”补充说明可以回顾自己的成就，因此C项“They prove you can do it (它们证明你可以做到)”符合语境，表明这些成就的作用，承接前文，其中的They指代前文的what you’ve already achieved。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My dad is easy-going and has a gift for chatting.

They raised two children, Emily and Lucas, in a house that was always filled with laughter and love. Emily, now a young woman studying art in college, often returned home on weekends. Lucas, the younger brother, was in his final year of high school, and his future was like an unwritten story. One cool autumn evening, as the smell of Mrs. Morrison’s famous apple pie filled the kitchen, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence between Lucas and his parents. Mrs. Morrison noticed it first, the way Lucas avoided eye contact when he spoke. Mr. Morrison also sensed the unease (不安) but chose to let it go, hoping Lucas would open up in his own time. Later that night, after dinner had been served and the dishes cleared away, Lucas sat by the table with his parents. “Mom, Dad,” Lucas began, “there’s something I need to talk to you about.” The couple looked at each other, concerned and curious. “Of course, honey,” Mrs. Morrison said gently. “You know you can talk to us about anything.” Lucas had been playing the guitar and writing songs for years. “I’ve been thinking a lot about my future lately,” he said, raising his voice. “I’ve decided to take a gap (间隔) year... I want to practice music skills.” There was a long silence before the conversation continued. Mr. Morrison, who was lost in deep thought, looked at his son. Mrs. Morrison’s eyes widened, with a look of surprise crossing her face. “Music?!” Mr. Morrison finally spoke, his voice still filled with concern. “Lucas, you’ve never mentioned this before. What about your plans for college?” Lucas looked up, knowing this was the moment he had feared, yet he knew it would come. “Music has been my favourite for years,” he said. “I expect to see where music could take me.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lucas’ words were followed by a total silence. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Relaxation washed over Lucas as he realized his parents were willing to listen. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Lucas’ words were followed by a total silence. His parents exchanged a look, with their faces mixing with surprise and contemplation. Mrs. Morrison was the first to break the silence, her voice soft but firm. “Lucas, we had no idea you felt this strongly about music. We always thought you’d go to college, like Emily. But if this is what you really want, we’ll support you. We just want you to be happy and pursue your dreams.” Mr. Morrison nodded in agreement, his earlier concern replaced by a sense of understanding and pride. Relaxation washed over Lucas as he realized his parents were willing to listen. He let out a breath he hadn’t known he was holding. “Thank you, Mom and Dad. I’ve been so worried about telling you. I know it’s not the traditional path, but music is my passion. I promise I’ll work hard and make you proud.” With that, the tension in the room seemed to dissipate, replaced by a warm sense of unity and excitement for Lucas’s future. The Morrisons sat together, their bond strengthened by the shared understanding that love and support could transcend even the unexpected turns of life. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Lucas，一个即将高中毕业的学生，在一个充满爱与欢笑的家庭中成长，与父母和姐姐Emily共同生活。然而，在一个秋日的夜晚，Lucas向父母坦露了一个出人意料的决定：他希望暂停学业，用一年的时间去专注于音乐技能的提升，因为他一直热爱音乐并梦想着音乐能带领他走向未来。这个决定让父母感到惊讶和担忧，因为他们从未听Lucas提起过这样的计划，同时也对他的大学计划产生了疑问。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Lucas的话说完后，一片沉寂。”可知，第一段可描写Lucas父母对于他这个决定的态度。 ②由第二段首句内容“Lucas意识到父母愿意倾听，一股轻松感涌上心头。”可知，第二段可描写Lucas坦露心声并保证会努力学习，家庭关系随之更加紧密了。 2.续写线索：母亲表明立场——感到理解和骄傲——Lucas表示感谢——坦露心声——家庭关系更紧密 3.词汇激活 行为类 支持：support/stand by 追寻：pursue/go in for 代替：replace/substitute for 情绪类 高兴的：happy/delighted 感谢：thank/appreciate 【点睛】[高分句型1]But if this is what you really want, we’ll support you.（运用了if引导条件状语从句） [高分句型2]The Morrisons sat together, their bond strengthened by the shared understanding that love and support could transcend even the unexpected turns of life.（运用了that引导宾语从句以及独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 榆林十二中高一年级期中考试 英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：人教版九年级全一册。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Giorgio Morandi was one of the greatest artists in the history of Italy. He was the eldest of five children born into a middle-class family in Bologna, Italy. His early love of art upset his father, who wanted his son to work with him in his export business. Morandi attempted the business unsuccessfully in 1906. After that, Morandi entered the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1907. He continued his study with the support of his friends when his father suddenly passed away in 1908, forcing him to support his mother and younger sisters. During that time, he was introduced to Cubism and Futurism, which influenced his early work. After he graduated from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1913, Morandi continued his study by traveling around Italy, especially to the Venice Biennale. Those tours would finally prove important, as much of Morandi’s exposure (接触) to painters came from published art works on the journey. He was particularly interested in the work of Impressionists like Claude Monet, as well as following greats such as Georges Seurat and Paul Cézanne. After Morandi finished his traveling, he returned home and lived with his family. For many years, Morandi kept a peaceful daily routine. And he did most of his work in his workshop, a small room in a flat he shared with his mother and sisters. Life wasn’t easy for him at first, but he quickly established himself as an important modern artist. His mastery of a skill of color, light and arrangement began to gain notice, shining in the face of present painting in the manner of abstraction (抽象). And he was named “one of the greatest painters living” by Roberto Longhi in 1934. 4. Why did Morandi’s early love of art worry his father? A. It took Morandi too much time. B. His father didn’t have money to support Morandi. C. His father wanted Morandi to follow in his footsteps. D. There were no suitable art teachers for Morandi. 5. What did Morandi do in 1913? A. He tried his father’s business. B. He started his university life. C. He traveled with his father. D. He finished his study in school. 6. What played a leading role in shaping Morandi as a successful modern artist? A. His love for his family. B. His tours around Italy. C. His middle-class background. D. His exposure to his father’s business. 7. How does the author mainly develop the text? A. By asking questions. B. By providing examples. C. By following time order. D. By making a comparison. C Every year the start of the Atlantic hurricane season is another reminder for Margarite August that she still doesn’t have a roof. The 70-year-old retired teacher’s home on the small Caribbean island nation of Dominica was mostly wiped out by hurricane Maria six years ago. Six years after hurricane Maria, Dominicans like Margarite August still haven’t been able to rehabilitate their homes. August is not alone. Since Maria, the government of Dominica has built 7,000 new homes—about a quarter of its housing stock-with materials to fight another Category 5 hurricane. They’ve also relocated two communities. But an untold number of the island’s 70,000 or so residents are like August, rebuilding their homes in any way they can afford. Hurricane Maria is often referred to as a once-in-a-lifetime disaster. Scientists put much of the blame on warming ocean temperatures that could make frequent (频繁的) storms like it. Maria damaged a terrible 95% of Dominica’s housing stock and 226% of the nation’s GDP. Before the storm, the country’s economy had long struggled since its independence from Great Britain in 1978. Unlike its more famous touristy neighbors along the chain of eastern Caribbean islands it lies on, Dominica is more known for its rugged mountains and jungles (丛林) than white sandy beaches. The jungle mountains that crash down to the coast are beautiful but disasters visit easily. “I don’t think anybody ever got over Maria,” says Christine John of the Dominica Red Cross. “There are a lot of persons today—if it just starts to rain outside, they get anxious.” 8. What does the underlined word “rehabilitate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Rebuild. B. Leave. C. Decorate. D. Buy. 9. What is the main cause of frequent extreme storms according to scientists? A. Over-farming. B. Loss of the land. C. The disappearance of the forests. D. Climate change. 10. What is Dominica known for according to the text? A. Its good economy. B. Its architecture. C. Its mountains and jungles. D. Its sandy beaches. 11. Why are Dominicans nervous when it rains? A. They have to stay bored at home. B. Their houses are easy to take in water. C. They don’t know how to make umbrellas. D. They are afraid of another disaster like Maria. D Animals, including humans, feel sound as well as hear it, and some of the most meaningful communication happens at frequencies (频率) that people can’t hear. Elephants, for example, use these low-frequency sounds to, among other things, find family or a mate across long distances. Whales do it, too. But you don’t have to weigh a ton to make a sound. In fact, you don’t have to be bigger than a pea. Consider, for example, the tree-hopper, a curious little animal that lives on the stems (茎) of the leaves. University of Missouri biologist Rex Cocroft has spent much of his time listening closely to tree-hoppers with his team. The team discovers that all the sounds being heard from tree-hoppers are produced by males. They do it by vibrating (振动) their abdomens (腹部) to make a wide variety of strange sounds. There is almost no airborne sound produced with these vibrational sounds. Cocroft explained, “If a tree-hopper were to stand on your finger and produce a sound, you would feel the vibration but hear no sound.” They showed that some sounds, not surprisingly, seem to be aimed at attracting females. And some are aimed at other males. Cocroft explained, “When two males meet each other, or when they are mate-searching on a branch, we’re hearing ‘purring, bdddddrrrr…’ sounds that males give.” Normally, a person couldn’t hear any of this, because the sound travels along the stem, inside it. And that’s how other tree-hoppers detect it. Cocroft said tree-hoppers have very sensitive legs. And they stand around on stems, which are good at spreading vibrations. So they just use what nature gives them to communicate with each other. “They have so many different forms of social behavior and grouping,” Cocroft explained. “And once there are animals living in groups, then there will be all sorts of interesting possibilities for communication.” 12. What does Cocroft’s research focus on about tree-hoppers? A. Their variety. B. Their communication. C. Their living areas. D. Their numbers. 13. What can we know about tree-hoppers? A. They sense sounds by legs. B. They knock the stems to make sounds. C. Their sounds can be easily heard by humans. D. Females make sounds to meet each other 14. What does Cocroft say about animals’ living in groups? A. It is key to their survival. B. It drives an increase in their numbers. C. It often leads to communication. D. It contributes much to the division of animal types. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A Magic Moment in Nature B. A Journey to the Wildlife C. Learning From Nature D. Communication Sounds Among Animals 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Those who have a go-getter mentality (心态) are seen as the high achievers of this world.

They raised two children, Emily and Lucas, in a house that was always filled with laughter and love. Emily, now a young woman studying art in college, often returned home on weekends. Lucas, the younger brother, was in his final year of high school, and his future was like an unwritten story. One cool autumn evening, as the smell of Mrs. Morrison’s famous apple pie filled the kitchen, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence between Lucas and his parents. Mrs. Morrison noticed it first, the way Lucas avoided eye contact when he spoke. Mr. Morrison also sensed the unease (不安) but chose to let it go, hoping Lucas would open up in his own time. Later that night, after dinner had been served and the dishes cleared away, Lucas sat by the table with his parents. “Mom, Dad,” Lucas began, “there’s something I need to talk to you about.” The couple looked at each other, concerned and curious. “Of course, honey,” Mrs. Morrison said gently. “You know you can talk to us about anything.” Lucas had been playing the guitar and writing songs for years. “I’ve been thinking a lot about my future lately,” he said, raising his voice. “I’ve decided to take a gap (间隔) year... I want to practice music skills.” There was a long silence before the conversation continued. Mr. Morrison, who was lost in deep thought, looked at his son. Mrs. Morrison’s eyes widened, with a look of surprise crossing her face. “Music?!” Mr. Morrison finally spoke, his voice still filled with concern. “Lucas, you’ve never mentioned this before. What about your plans for college?” Lucas looked up, knowing this was the moment he had feared, yet he knew it would come. “Music has been my favourite for years,” he said. “I expect to see where music could take me.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lucas’ words were followed by a total silence. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Relaxation washed over Lucas as he realized his parents were willing to listen. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
