Jane Austen (1775-1817) She wrote about what life was like during the late 1700s and early 1800s through the books Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma. These books were released within just four years of each other. Two other books, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published after she died. Her face is now on the new £10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all. Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimen War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army. She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy in healthcare in the war. Marie Curie (1867-1934) One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie. Together with her fellow scientist and husband Pierre, she made amazing work on their discoveries. In1903, they received a Nobel Prize. She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so. The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on radioactivity, which paved the way for the creation of X-rays. Mother Teresa (1910-1997) In September 2016, Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint, which she deserves after her devotion to helping people in poverty. In 1929, she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor people, especially in the Indian city of Kolkata. She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration. She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata. 1. Why is the £10 note mentioned in the text? A. To increase readers’ interest in Jane Austen. B. To show the value of Jane Austen’s face. C. To make more people know about Jane Austen. D. To highlight the recognition and impact of Jane Austen’s works. 2. Who made a mark on nursing? A. Jane Austen. B. Florence Nightingale. C. Marie Curie. D. Mother Teresa. 3. What did Marie Curie and Mother Teresa have in common? A. They won Nobel Prize. B. They served in the army. C. They gave all their belongings away. D. They worked for the poor. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本篇文章主要讲述了历史上四位鼓舞人心的女性人物，她们分别是简·奥斯汀、弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔、玛丽·居里和特蕾莎修女，介绍了她们的主要成就和对社会的贡献。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Her face is now on the new £10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all.(她的头像现在出现在新版10英镑纸币上，每天都在提醒我们，她的书对我们所有人产生了多大的影响)”可知，提到10英镑纸币是为了突出简·奥斯汀的作品对社会的认可度和影响力，故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimen War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army. She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy in healthcare in the war.(她出生在一个富裕的家庭，这个家庭不赞成她从事护理工作。在收到一封来自战争部长的信，信中要求她组建一个团队，在克里米亚战争期间照顾英国士兵，之后她搬到了伦敦。这是妇女第一次被允许在军队服役。她以英雄的身份回家了，甚至还收到了维多利亚女王的感谢信。她在战争期间为医疗保健事业留下了宝贵的遗产)”可知，弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔在护理方面做出了贡献，故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so.(1911年，她再次获得诺贝尔奖，这是第一位获得诺贝尔奖的女性)”以及第五段“She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration.(她在1979年获得诺贝尔奖，并取消了盛大的晚宴庆祝活动)”可知，玛丽·居里和特蕾莎修女都获得了诺贝尔奖，故选A。 B Catherine Sevcenko spends her spare time taking in and rescuing injured birds in Alexandria. And there’s something constant in the past 12 years: Each crow (乌鸦) that appears at her door is covered in shiny black feathers. Sevcenko could hardly believe it when a rare crow she named Hope showed up last month. “I’d never seen a white crow before,” said Sevcenko, who runs Diva Crows rehab center with the goal of freeing the birds back into the wild. The Wildlife Rescue League of Falls Church, Va., contacted Sevcenko and asked if she could take in a rare white crow that had been brought in by a man last month. The man had rescued the bird in Manassas, Va. after he saw a group of adult crows attack the rare bird. The juvenile crow hadn’t developed enough strength in her wings to fly away. The bird was only a few months old and was a little underweight, but didn’t appear to have any injuries. “I told them, ‘Of course, I’ll take the bird,’” said Sevcenko, who has spent her spare time helping birds in need since 2012. With help from volunteers, she estimates that Diva Crows has rescued more than 2,000 birds. In 2023, Sevcenko took in a two-foot-tall bird that had been shot with a gun. Although the bird could no longer fly and couldn’t be freed to the wild after he had been cured, she found a home for him at the Cayuga Nature Center in Ithaca, N.Y. Sevcenko and her volunteers briefly put Hope in a cage with some rescued young black crows and there weren’t any issues. Then they put Hope in with an adult crow. Things did not go well. Everyone who spends time with Hope is delighted by her personality. “She loves bird baths, and when I change her cage, she’ll sit on top and talk to me like she’s a little person,” Tijona Owens, a Diva Crows volunteer, says. “She’s a very interesting bird. She loves exploring, and she’ll stay on your arm. She enjoys hanging out in the center to see what’s going on.” 4. How did Sevcenko feel when she first saw Hope? A. Disappointed. B. Moved. C. Surprised. D. Stressed. 5. What does the underlined word “juvenile” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Black. B. Big. C. Injured. D. Young. 6. What does the author want to show by mentioning the two-foot-tall bird? A How Sevcenko became a volunteer. B. What Sevcenko did for bird protection. C. The process of saving wounded birds. D. The problem of finding a home for birds. 7. What does Tijona say about Hope? A. She is comfortable with her. B. She likes to talk with little kids. C. She will be sent to the wild soon. D. She gets on well with adult crows. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了致力于保护鸟类的Catherine Sevcenko救助白乌鸦Hope的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sevcenko could hardly believe it when a rare crow she named Hope showed up last month. “I’d never seen a white crow before,” said Sevcenko (上个月，Sevcenko几乎不敢相信一只名叫Hope的稀有乌鸦出现了。“我以前从没见过白乌鸦，”Sevcenko说)”可知，Sevcenko是第一次见到Hope这样稀有的白乌鸦，有些不敢相信。由此可知，当时她很惊讶。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“crow hadn’t developed enough strength in her wings to fly away. The bird was only a few months old and was a little underweight, but didn’t appear to have any injuries. (乌鸦的翅膀还没有足够的力量飞走。这只鸟只有几个月大，体重略轻，但似乎没有受伤)”可推知，这只乌鸦当时还很幼小，画线词的意思和Young“幼小的”接近。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In 2023, Sevcenko took in a two-foot-tall bird that had been shot with a gun. Although the bird could no longer fly and couldn’t be freed to the wild after he had been cured, she found a home for him at the Cayuga Nature Center in Ithaca, N.Y. (2023年，Sevcenko收养了一只被枪射中的两英尺高的鸟。虽然这只鸟在治愈后再也不能飞了，也不能被放归野外，但她还是在纽约州伊萨卡的卡尤加自然中心为它找到了一个家)”可知，这里展现了Sevcenko为救助两英尺高的鸟所做的努力。由此推知，作者提及这只鸟是为了表明Sevcenko为保护鸟类所做的事情。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Tijona Owens所说的话“She loves bird baths, and when I change her cage, she’ll sit on top and talk to me like she’s a little person (她喜欢鸟浴，当我给她换笼子的时候，她会坐在上面跟我说话，就像她是个小人一样)”和“She’s a very interesting bird. She loves exploring, and she’ll stay on your arm. She enjoys hanging out in the center to see what’s going on. (她是一只非常有趣的鸟。她喜欢探索，她会留在你的手臂上。她喜欢在中心闲逛，看看发生了什么)”可知，这里展现了Tijona对Hope的仔细观察，流露出对它的喜爱，而Hope对Tijona也很自然和亲切。由此可知，Hope与Tijona相处融洽，在一起很舒服。故选A项。 C Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instruments, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio. Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it. The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk around the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, and of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly. The person playing the music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he/she drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out. At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner. 8. Which of the following is necessary for playing the game? A. A piano. B. A chair. C. A tape recorder. D. A telephone. 9. If ten people are playing the game, you must begin with ________. A. nine chairs B. ten chairs C. eleven chairs D. one chair 10. The chairs should be put ________. A. with the desks B. before the winner C. all over the room D. in a line 11. When the music starts, the players must ________. A. run about the room B. get down C. walk around the chairs D. sit on the chairs 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个抢椅子游戏，作者重点描述了这个游戏的游戏规则。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music.(你所需要的只是一些椅子，一些人和放音乐。)”可知，做这个游戏必需的道具是椅子。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he/she drops out.(如果一个人找不到椅子坐，他/她就会退出。)”可知，这个游戏椅子比人数少1，这样才会有人没得坐，故10个人玩游戏，九把椅子开始。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Put the chairs in a row.(把椅子排成一排)”可知，需要把椅子排成一排。故选D。 11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When the music starts, the players walk around the chairs.(当音乐开始时，乐手们绕着椅子走。)”可知音乐开始，玩家绕着椅子走。故选C。 D Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees (大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play. Lots of animals play: But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing. Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not. To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. For three hours, a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls. Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females. The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings. 12. What is the common view about animals’ playing behavior? A. A form of fight. B. A form of training. C. A form of labor. D. A form of performance. 13. Why did Dr. Lars Chittka conduct the new experiment? A. To train bumblebees to play with balls. B. To figure out bumblebees’ feeding style. C. To explore if bumblebees play without a reward. D. To observe how bees interact with different objects: 14. What did the scientists find during the experiment? A. Bumblebees only played with balls when food was involved. B. Female bumblebees were more interested in playing than males. C. Older bumblebees spent more time rolling balls than younger ones. D. Bumblebees preferred balls that could roll to those that couldn’t. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. The purpose of insects playing is to prepare for life. B. Dr. Lars Chittka discovered a new way to train bees. C. Bumblebees are the first insects known to play. D. Playing is common among mammals and birds. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究发现大黄蜂似乎是第一个已知会玩的昆虫，但尚不清楚它们为什么这么做以及它们是否喜欢这样，即便如此，这项研究让人们想知道昆虫大脑的工作原理以及它们是否有情感。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life.(对于许多动物来说，玩耍通常被视为一种对它们以后生活中必须处理的事情的练习。)”可知，人们普遍认为动物的玩耍行为是一种练习形式。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not.(他想知道它们是否在为奖励而玩。)”和第四段中的“To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment.(为了验证这一想法，他和其他科学家一起进行了一项新的实验。)”可知，Lars Chittka博士进行这项新实验是为了验证大黄蜂是否会在没有奖励的情况下玩耍。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.(它们对球不能移动的一侧不太感兴趣，但它们经常去有滚动球的一侧。)”可知，与不能滚动的球相比，大黄蜂更喜欢能滚动的球。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Now scientists report bumblebees(大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.(现在科学家们报告说，大黄蜂似乎也知道同样的事情，这使大黄蜂成为已知的第一种玩耍的昆虫。)”并结合下文内容可知，本文主要通过一项实验说明大黄蜂会玩球，这使得大黄蜂成为已知的第一种玩耍的昆虫。故选C。 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。 How to Make Friends Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with difficulties better.

E 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。这篇短文强调了朋友的重要性，从而向我们介绍了应该怎样交朋友。 【16题详解】 此空位于段落首句，是小标题。根据下面每段开头，可知应该是短小精悍的祈使句。再根据本段内容“There are many ways to do this—talking about the weather (“At least it’s not raining like last week!”), asking for help or saying words of praise (“I love your shoes.”) . (有很多方式可以这样做，比如谈论天气（至少不像上周那样下雨！），寻求帮助或是说一些赞美的话（我喜欢你的鞋子。）)”由此可知，这些都是开始交谈的话题，所以要交朋友首先要用一个话题开始交谈。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据本段首句“Introduce yourself at the end of the conversation. (交谈结束时，要做自我介绍。)”F项 “Once you introduce yourself, the other person will do the same.

(一个非常好的朋友会鼓励他们的朋友。)”再根据空格下句 “Never make fun or laugh at your friend in front of others.

She would fix my baby dolls or help me color pretty pictures when I started elementary school. Because my dad worked far away from home, I would see my mom fix the car without caring how dirty her hands would get. Now I’m in high school. I see how she is sensitive but strong at the same time. I am old enough and ready to do something for her to help reduce the pressure of life. One day I came home from school and saw papers on the kitchen table and my mom sitting looking at my dad. My dad wasn’t working at the time because he had broken his arm. I had heard my parents talk about money issues a couple of times but I never asked about the situation before. “What’s going on?” I asked. “We have to be out of the house in two weeks,” my mom said. She had one of her hands over her forehead. Then I realized this was a serious problem. We had no money and no idea what we were going to do. I read the paper on the table; it said we had lost the house because we hadn’t been paying rent. I was surprised that all this was going on. My dad was unable to do anything about it due to unemployment. Besides the fact that we had no place to move to, we also had little to eat since the food my dad had bought the month before was running out. Even though my mom didn’t show it, I felt her pain and how much it hurt her to not be able to provide a good house and food for us. It seemed like everything was falling apart, but my mom seemed as if this was making her stronger. 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。 In the following days my mom made efforts to look for a small house for rent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing this, my mom praised me for finding a suitable house online. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: In the following days, my mom made efforts to look for a small house for rent. Every day, she went out with hope, but went back home, empty-handed. Even so, I could feel that my mother tried to hide her inner feelings, making us feel at ease. So I decided to help my mother and learned to take responsibility for my home. I started searching the Internet for cheap houses to rent. At the same time, I posted my needs online. Fortunately, my efforts paid off and a homeowner contacted me. I couldn’t wait to tell my mother this good news. Hearing this, my mom praised me for finding a suitable house online. “My dear boy, I am so happy to hear this news. You gave me a surprise,” my mom said with a relieved smile. I replied, “I’m just doing my part. You make a greater contribution to me and our family. You are the greatest mom ever!” After listening to my words, my mother hugged me tightly, with her face shining with happiness and her eyes sparkling with tears. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者家庭遭遇的困境、妈妈为家庭所做的努力以及作者自己如何成长并帮助家庭解决问题等事件，展现了家庭成员之间的深厚情感和相互支持。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的几天里，妈妈努力寻找出租的小房子。”以及第二段首句内容“听到这个消息，妈妈表扬我在网上找到了合适的房子。”可知，第一段可描写作者感受到妈妈的艰辛，在网上找到了合适的房子。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到这个消息，妈妈表扬我在网上找到了合适的房子。”可知，第二段可描写作者的妈妈觉得作者为家庭做出了贡献，长大了。 2.续写线索：努力找房子却失望而归——想要帮助妈妈——网上发布需求——找到合适的房子——妈妈非常高兴——感受彼此的爱 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①努力做某事：try to/make efforts to ②决定做某事：decide to do/make a decision to do ③做贡献：make a contribution to/contribute to 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/delighted ②放松的：relieved/relaxed/eased 【点睛】【高分句型1】Even so, I could feel that my mother tried to hide her inner feelings, making us feel at ease.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】After listening to my words, my mother hugged me tightly, with her face shining with happiness and her eyes sparkling with tears.（运用了with引导的独立结构） 听力1～5 ABCAA 6～10 CBCBA 11～15 ABCCA 16～20 CABBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 楚雄东兴中学高二秋季期中考试 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：至人教版选择性必修第一册。 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.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) She wrote about what life was like during the late 1700s and early 1800s through the books Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma. These books were released within just four years of each other. Two other books, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published after she died. Her face is now on the new £10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all. Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimen War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army. She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy in healthcare in the war. Marie Curie (1867-1934) One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie. Together with her fellow scientist and husband Pierre, she made amazing work on their discoveries. In1903, they received a Nobel Prize. She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so. The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on radioactivity, which paved the way for the creation of X-rays. Mother Teresa (1910-1997) In September 2016, Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint, which she deserves after her devotion to helping people in poverty. In 1929, she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor people, especially in the Indian city of Kolkata. She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration. She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata. 1. Why is the £10 note mentioned in the text?

To highlight the recognition and impact of Jane Austen’s works. 2. Who made a mark on nursing? A. Jane Austen. B. Florence Nightingale. C. Marie Curie. D. Mother Teresa. 3. What did Marie Curie and Mother Teresa have in common? A. They won Nobel Prize. B. They served in the army. C. They gave all their belongings away. D. They worked for the poor. B Catherine Sevcenko spends her spare time taking in and rescuing injured birds in Alexandria. And there’s something constant in the past 12 years: Each crow (乌鸦) that appears at her door is covered in shiny black feathers. Sevcenko could hardly believe it when a rare crow she named Hope showed up last month. “I’d never seen a white crow before,” said Sevcenko, who runs Diva Crows rehab center with the goal of freeing the birds back into the wild. The Wildlife Rescue League of Falls Church Va., contacted Sevcenko and asked if she could take in a rare white crow that had been brought in by a man last month. The man had rescued the bird in Manassas, Va. after he saw a group of adult crows attack the rare bird. The juvenile crow hadn’t developed enough strength in her wings to fly away. The bird was only a few months old and was a little underweight, but didn’t appear to have any injuries. “I told them, ‘Of course, I’ll take the bird,’” said Sevcenko, who has spent her spare time helping birds in need since 2012. With help from volunteers, she estimates that Diva Crows has rescued more than 2,000 birds. In 2023, Sevcenko took in a two-foot-tall bird that had been shot with a gun. Although the bird could no longer fly and couldn’t be freed to the wild after he had been cured, she found a home for him at the Cayuga Nature Center in Ithaca, N.Y. Sevcenko and her volunteers briefly put Hope in a cage with some rescued young black crows and there weren’t any issues Then they put Hope in with an adult crow. Things did not go well. Everyone who spends time with Hope is delighted by her personality. “She loves bird baths, and when I change her cage, she’ll sit on top and talk to me like she’s a little person,” Tijona Owens, a Diva Crows volunteer, says. “She’s a very interesting bird. She loves exploring, and she’ll stay on your arm. She enjoys hanging out in the center to see what’s going on.” 4. How did Sevcenko feel when she first saw Hope? A. Disappointed. B. Moved. C. Surprised. D. Stressed. 5. What does the underlined word “juvenile” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Black. B. Big. C. Injured. D. Young. 6. What does the author want to show by mentioning the two-foot-tall bird? A. How Sevcenko became a volunteer. B. What Sevcenko did for bird protection. C. The process of saving wounded birds. D. The problem of finding a home for birds. 7. What does Tijona say about Hope? A. She is comfortable with her. B. She likes to talk with little kids. C. She will be sent to the wild soon. D. She gets on well with adult crows. C Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instruments, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio. Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it. The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk around the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, and of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly. The person playing the music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he/she drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out. At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner. 8. Which of the following is necessary for playing the game? A. A piano. B. A chair. C. A tape recorder. D. A telephone. 9. If ten people are playing the game, you must begin with ________. A. nine chairs B. ten chairs C. eleven chairs D. one chair 10. The chairs should be put ________. A. with the desks B. before the winner C. all over the room D. in a line 11. When the music starts, the players must ________. A. run about the room B. get down C. walk around the chairs D. sit on the chairs D Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees (大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play. Lots of animals play: But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. For many animals playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing. Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not. To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. For three hours, a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls. Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females. The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it.

She would fix my baby dolls or help me color pretty pictures when I started elementary school. Because my dad worked far away from home, I would see my mom fix the car without caring how dirty her hands would get. Now I’m in high school. I see how she is sensitive but strong at the same time. I am old enough and ready to do something for her to help reduce the pressure of life. One day I came home from school and saw papers on the kitchen table and my mom sitting looking at my dad. My dad wasn’t working at the time because he had broken his arm. I had heard my parents talk about money issues a couple of times but I never asked about the situation before. “What’s going on?” I asked. “We have to be out of the house in two weeks,” my mom said. She had one of her hands over her forehead. Then I realized this was a serious problem. We had no money and no idea what we were going to do. I read the paper on the table; it said we had lost the house because we hadn’t been paying rent. I was surprised that all this was going on. My dad was unable to do anything about it due to unemployment. Besides the fact that we had no place to move to, we also had little to eat since the food my dad had bought the month before was running out. Even though my mom didn’t show it, I felt her pain and how much it hurt her to not be able to provide a good house and food for us. It seemed like everything was falling apart, but my mom seemed as if this was making her stronger. 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。 In the following days, my mom made efforts to look for a small house for rent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing this, my mom praised me for finding a suitable house online. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1～5 ABCAA 6～10 CBCBA 11～15 ABCCA 16～20 CABBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
