With humans’ activities expanded, more and more animals are getting affected. In order to survive hunger, they have to leave their habitat. A group of wandering wild elephants have become an overnight Internet hit globally. While the original group is made up of 16 elephants, two decided to return home after a week. The rest continued their journey north-ward, stopping only for a short break in November 2020 to allow a newly-born elephant and its mother to recover.
Since leaving the reserve, the elephants have walked over 500 kilometers. Along the way, they entered farms for food and water, walked through urban streets, and even paid a visit to a car dealership and a retirement home. No animals or people were hurt. However, they destroyed more than $ 1 million worth of crops.
Researchers are not sure why the elephants decided to leave or where they are headed. While they are known to leave their habitats in search of food, this is the longest migration of wild elephants recorded in China. Because of this, some guess that the elephants may be lost. However, others think the elephants were forced to move due to deforestation (砍伐森林). Successful conservation efforts have almost doubled the elephant population in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve. However, their natural habitat has been greatly reduced.
“As their populations increase, they search for more food,” BeckyShu Chen said. “You could say that the increase in agricultural land in their region is like finding a big sweet shop, right on their doorstep.”
The wandering herd’s search for a suitable home was noticed by locals who eagerly followed their daily movements on social media. Adam Chang, assigned to deliver food to the elephants, says. “Before this meeting, I just felt curious about animals. Now, I think I would volunteer in animal rights groups to preserve those giant creatures.”
4. Why did the wild elephants stop temporarily in November 2020?
A. To enjoy the food given by local people
B. To pay a visit to a car dealership.
C. To figure out whether they were in the right direction.
D. To wait for a baby elephant and its mom to recover.
5. Which is TRUE according to the text?
A. Scientists know why the elephants leave their home
B. The elephants couldn’t find their way home.
C. Elephants population has decreased for human activities.
D. This group of elephants did great damage to the crops during the migration
6. What do Adam Chang’s words in the last paragraph mean?
A. The elephants have the rights to move.
B. The elephants help to raise people’s awareness of animal protection.
C. The elephants are helped by locals to find a suitable home.
D. The elephants are annoyed of being followed.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. China’s wild elephants are always on the move.
B. China’s wandering wild elephants attract the world.
C. China’s wandering elephants are losing their way.
D. China’s wild elephants are touring through cities.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. B

Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.
Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.
As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.
Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built — in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose(吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.
As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.
8. Which is correct about parrots according to the passage?
A. Predators only make attacks to them only in the day
B. Parrots usually live alone to make their safety
C. Parrots instinctively react to risks only by fighting back
D. Parrots are attacked not only during the day but also in the night
9. What does the underlined phrase mean?
A. To attack back. B. To escape.
C. To protect the young. D. To play dead.
10. Why does a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) frighten a parrot?
A. It may explode suddenly.
B. It may make a strange sound.
C. It may have a strong color.
D. It may be the same as a snake in a parrot’s mind
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give suggestions about raising a parrot.
C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了饲养鹦鹉的一些建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night (一些捕食者仅在白天攻击,而另一些在夜间猎杀)”可推知鹦鹉在白天和夜晚都遭到攻击。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.( 作为猎物,鹦鹉时刻警惕着危险,它们本能地对危险做出反应。它们的第一选择是take flight。然而,如果这是不可能的,他们会用他们强大的喙来保护自己)可知,动物本能地对危险做出反应是逃跑。所以划线词的意思是“逃跑”。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“a vacuum hose may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind (在鹦鹉的心目中,真空软管可能与蛇相同)”可推知吸尘器软管能吓到鹦鹉是因为它可能让鹦鹉联想到蛇。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.(鹦鹉是猎物,这意味着野生的其他捕食者,如鹰或蛇,正在寻找将它们作为食物。这一个因素比任何其他因素都更能影响鹦鹉在家里的行为)”、倒数第二段“Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.(简单且相对无害的家居用品会引起鸟类的极度恐惧反应。例如,在你的鸟心目中,气球可能代表鹰,或者真空软管可能与蛇相同)”以及最后一段“As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.(作为猎物,鹦鹉经常被新的家庭用品或陌生人吓到。从很小的时候就开始让你的鸟接触安全的体验和变化,以建立灵活性并提高它们的适应性,这一点很重要。饮食和玩具的多样性、旅行以及接触新的人和地方都有助于让你的鸟更灵活,更适应变化)”可知,本文的写作目的是对饲养鹦鹉提建议。故选B项。
D
When you think of batteries (电池) you’ll likely think about them powering up remote controls, cellphones, flashlights and toys. But some people carry a battery around in their body to power a pacemaker (起搏器). It isn’t really pleasant and easy to carry batteries because they need to be replaced so often and they can leak poisonous chemicals. A battery — powered pacemaker may become a thing of the past, thanks to a new technology developed by UCLA researchers: A biological super capacitor (超级电容器), which is thinner than several hairs.
Teams of researchers at UCLA and the University of Connecticut published a paper in a journal explaining their new invention. The super capacitor is made from a carbon material, and coated with humanlike proteins that act as electrodes (电极). But what makes the device different is that it is powered by an energy harvester that changes body heat and movement in the blood into energy.
Those traditional pacemakers are six to eight millimeters (毫米) thick. They are much bigger. The new super capacitor, which, due to its lack of battery, is only one micrometer (微米) thick. This “little” feature could benefit the new pacemaker’s energy efficiency, researchers stated. Also, unlike other batteries used in medical treatments, the super capacitor can bend and twist in the body without suffering damage.
Though they’ve not been widely used in the medical world, super capacitors have the ability to serve as a safer and more efficient medical device than the traditional battery-operated devices, the researchers believe.
“In order to be effective, battery-free pacemakers must have super capacitors that can get, store and transport energy. However, commercial super capacitors are too slow to make them work”, said Maher ElKady, a UCLA researcher and coauthor of the study. “Our research focused on the custom-designed super capacitor to capture energy effectively, and finding a way to make it exist together successfully with the human body.”
12. What do we know about traditional pacemakers?
A. They are very popular with users. B. Their batteries need to be replaced so often.
C. They don’t do any harm to the users’ bodies. D. They are really safe and easy to carry around.
13. Which is TRUE about the new super capacitor?
A. It has electrodes on the outside. B. It is made from a kind of a carbon material.
C. It helps save the carriers’ money and energy. D. It is powered by an energy heater.
14. What advantages does the new super capacitors have than the traditional battery-operated devices?
A. thicker and more convenient B. thinner and cheaper
C. safer and more efficient. D. thicker and more efficient.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. UCLA Researchers Are Committed to the Cause of the Medical Equipment
B. A Battery-Powered Pacemaker Is Harming People’s Body
C. People Today Aren’t Willing to Use the Traditional Pacemaker Any Longer
D. A New Pacemaker that Doesn’t Need to Use Batteries
【答案】12 B 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种不需要使用电池的新型心脏起搏器。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It isn’t really pleasant and easy to carry batteries because they need to be replaced so often and they can leak poisonous chemicals.(电池携带起来既不舒服也不方便,因为它们需要经常更换,而且它们会泄漏有毒的化学物质)”可知,传统心脏起搏器的电池需要经常更换。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The super capacitor is made from a carbon material, and coated with humanlike proteins that act as electrodes (电极).(超级电容器由碳材料制成,并涂有类似人类蛋白质作为电极)”可知,新的超级电容器是由一种碳材料制成的。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Though they’ve not been widely used in the medical world, super capacitors have the ability to serve as a safer and more efficient medical device than the traditional battery-operated devices, the researchers believe.(研究人员相信,尽管超级电容器尚未在医学界得到广泛应用,但它们有能力作为一种比传统电池供电设备更安全、更高效的医疗设备)”可知,与传统的电池供电设备相比,新的超级电容器优点是更安全、更有效。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第一段“It isn’t really pleasant and easy to carry batteries because they need to be replaced so often and they can leak poisonous chemicals. A battery — powered pacemaker may become a thing of the past, thanks to a new technology developed by UCLA researchers: A biological super capacitor (超级电容器), which is thinner than several hairs.(电池携带起来既不舒服也不方便,因为它们需要经常更换,而且它们会泄漏有毒的化学物质。由于加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究人员开发了一项新技术:一种比几根头发还细的生物超级电容器,电池供电的起搏器可能会成为历史)”可知,文章主要是介绍一种不需要使用电池的新型心脏起搏器。D选项“不需要使用电池的新型起搏器”最符合标题。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Broken Wings, Flying Heart
Jill lost his arms in an accident that claimed his father’s life— who was the main source of support for the family. From then on , he had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
One late night, he suffered from diarrhea(腹泻) and had to wake up his younger brother. His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back the dorm to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him on the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him. As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother wanted to live separate from him, living his own life, as many normal people do. So he was heart-broken and didn’t know what to do.
A similar misfortune fell on Mary, too. One night her mother, who suffered from chronic mental illness disappeared. So her father went out looking for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn(打翻) the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away. Though her elder sister who was studying in another city, showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent. At school, she always studied hard. Most of all, she learned to be self-reliant. Once she wrote the following in her composition: “I am lucky. Though I lost my arms, I still have legs; I am lucky. Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly.”
注意:1.续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头已给出。
P1: However, many years later, they had different endings.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
P2: From the story, we can draw a lesson
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】However, many years later, they had different endings. The boy didn’t have a happy life, because no matter what he did, he could only depend on his younger brother’s arms, without whose arms he couldn’t do anything, finally leading to his banality (平庸) while the girl was always full of enthusiasm in his life. No matter what challenge she was faced with, she always thought she had a flying heart, it was her perseverance that led to his success.
From this story, we can draw a lesson. They had both endured (忍受) the same ordeal, (磨难) but their different attitudes determined the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unpredictable. Disasters can strike at any time. How you handle misfortune when confronted with it is the true test of your character. If you choose only to complain and escape from the ordeal, it will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.

COOL COLD SPORTS
The Winter Olympic Games are not just a chance for athletes to win medals and honor for their countries. Every four years, the Games also help audience to get to know more about winter sports from around the world. The Winter Olympics may not have the large crowds and huge stars of its Summer Games, but they share the same Olympic spirit.
Skiing
One of the most popular sports of the Winter Olympic Games is skiing. Skiers compete in the downhill and slalom (回转赛), and in the short and long cross-country ski races. Skiing was originally (最初) a sport played only in cold northern countries, but now athletes from all over the world compete in this sport, even those from countries without any snow!
Skating
Skaters compete with each other in speed races or in figure-skating events. The figure-skaters are generally considered to be the stars of the Winter Olympic Games. These ice princes and princesses are so graceful that it’s easy to forget that they are actually highly skilled athletes.
Skeleton (俯式冰橇)
The skeleton is one of the strangest named sports of the Olympics. The skeleton is named after the shape of the metal sleds(雪橇) used in the 1890s, when the sport first star-ted. The skeleton is a downhill sled race, usually on ice. In the skeleton, a person lies on his or her stomach on the sled, with his or her head pointing downhill!

A. Graceful and highly skilled. B. Senior and honorable.
C. Amazing and responsible. D. Confident and attractive.
2. Which sport requires a person to lie on his or her stomach on the sled, the head pointing downhill?

With humans’ activities expanded, more and more animals are getting affected. In order to survive hunger, they have to leave their habitat. A group of wandering wild elephants have become an overnight Internet hit globally. While the original group is made up of 16 elephants, two decided to return home after a week. The rest continued their journey north-ward, stopping only for a short break in November 2020 to allow a newly-born elephant and its mother to recover.
Since leaving the reserve the elephants have walked over 500 kilometers. Along the way, they entered farms for food and water, walked through urban streets, and even paid a visit to a car dealership and a retirement home. No animals or people were hurt. However, they destroyed more than $ 1 million worth of crops.
Researchers are not sure why the elephants decided to leave or where they are headed. While they are known to leave their habitats in search of food, this is the longest migration of wild elephants recorded in China. Because of this, some guess that the elephants may be lost. However, others think the elephants were forced to move due to deforestation (砍伐森林). Successful conservation efforts have almost doubled the elephant population in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve. However, their natural habitat has been greatly reduced.
“As their populations increase, they search for more food,” BeckyShu Chen said. “You could say that the increase in agricultural land in their region is like finding a big sweet shop, right on their doorstep.”
The wandering herd’s search for a suitable home was noticed by locals who eagerly followed their daily movements on social media. Adam Chang, assigned to deliver food to the elephants, says. “Before this meeting, I just felt curious about animals. Now, I think I would volunteer in animal rights groups to preserve those giant creatures.”
4. Why did the wild elephants stop temporarily in November 2020?
A. To enjoy the food given by local people
B. To pay a visit to a car dealership.
C. To figure out whether they were in the right direction.
D. To wait for a baby elephant and its mom to recover.
5. Which is TRUE according to the text?
A. Scientists know why the elephants leave their home
B The elephants couldn’t find their way home.
C. Elephants population has decreased for human activities.
D. This group of elephants did great damage to the crops during the migration
6. What do Adam Chang’s words in the last paragraph mean?
A. The elephants have the rights to move.
B. The elephants help to raise people’s awareness of animal protection.
C. The elephants are helped by locals to find a suitable home.
D. The elephants are annoyed of being followed.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. China’s wild elephants are always on the move.
B. China’s wandering wild elephants attract the world.
C. China’s wandering elephants are losing their way.
D. China’s wild elephants are touring through cities.
C
Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.
Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.
As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.
Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built — in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose(吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.
As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.
8. Which is correct about parrots according to the passage?
A. Predators only make attacks to them only in the day
B. Parrots usually live alone to make their safety
C. Parrots instinctively react to risks only by fighting back
D. Parrots are attacked not only during the day but also in the night
9. What does the underlined phrase mean?
A. To attack back. B. To escape.
C. To protect the young. D. To play dead.
10. Why does a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) frighten a parrot?
A. It may explode suddenly.
B. It may make a strange sound.
C. It may have a strong color.
D. It may be the same as a snake in a parrot’s mind
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give suggestions about raising a parrot.
C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology.
D
When you think of batteries (电池) you’ll likely think about them powering up remote controls, cellphones, flashlights and toys. But some people carry a battery around in their body to power a pacemaker (起搏器). It isn’t really pleasant and easy to carry batteries because they need to be replaced so often and they can leak poisonous chemicals. A battery — powered pacemaker may become a thing of the past, thanks to a new technology developed by UCLA researchers: A biological super capacitor (超级电容器), which is thinner than several hairs.
Teams of researchers at UCLA and the University of Connecticut published a paper in a journal explaining their new invention. The super capacitor is made from a carbon material, and coated with humanlike proteins that act as electrodes (电极). But what makes the device different is that it is powered by an energy harvester that changes body heat and movement in the blood into energy.
Those traditional pacemakers are six to eight millimeters (毫米) thick. They are much bigger. The new super capacitor, which, due to its lack of battery, is only one micrometer (微米) thick. This “little” feature could benefit the new pacemaker’s energy efficiency, researchers stated. Also, unlike other batteries used in medical treatments, the super capacitor can bend and twist in the body without suffering damage.
Though they’ve not been widely used in the medical world, super capacitors have the ability to serve as a safer and more efficient medical device than the traditional battery-operated devices, the researchers believe.
“In order to be effective, battery-free pacemakers must have super capacitors that can get, store and transport energy. However, commercial super capacitors are too slow to make them work”, said Maher ElKady, a UCLA researcher and coauthor of the study. “Our research focused on the custom-designed super capacitor to capture energy effectively, and finding a way to make it exist together successfully with the human body.”
12. What do we know about traditional pacemakers?
A. They are very popular with users. B. Their batteries need to be replaced so often.
C. They don’t do any harm to the users’ bodies. D. They are really safe and easy to carry around.
13. Which is TRUE about the new super capacitor?
A. It has electrodes on the outside. B. It is made from a kind of a carbon material.
C. It helps save the carriers’ money and energy. D. It is powered by an energy heater.
14. What advantages does the new super capacitors have than the traditional battery-operated devices?
A. thicker and more convenient B. thinner and cheaper
C. safer and more efficient. D. thicker and more efficient.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. UCLA Researchers Are Committed to the Cause of the Medical Equipment
B. A Battery-Powered Pacemaker Is Harming People’s Body
C. People Today Aren’t Willing to Use the Traditional Pacemaker Any Longer
D. A New Pacemaker that Doesn’t Need to Use Batteries

Broken Wings, Flying Heart
Jill lost his arms in an accident that claimed his father’s life— who was the main source of support for the family. From then on , he had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
One late night, he suffered from diarrhea(腹泻) and had to wake up his younger brother. His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back the dorm to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him on the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him. As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother wanted to live separate from him, living his own life, as many normal people do. So he was heart-broken and didn’t know what to do.
A similar misfortune fell on Mary, too. One night her mother, who suffered from chronic mental illness disappeared. So her father went out looking for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn(打翻) the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away. Though her elder sister who was studying in another city, showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent. At school, she always studied hard. Most of all, she learned to be self-reliant. Once she wrote the following in her composition: “I am lucky. Though I lost my arms, I still have legs; I am lucky. Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly.”
