Four Cool Languages
Chinese
Around 1.4 billion people speak Chinese. Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B. C.
Arabic
Over 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages.
English
Around 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries.
English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.
Italian
Nearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian.
Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings of musical terms in greater depth.
1. What is a feature of Arabic?
A. It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts. B. It helps artists with their artworks.
C. It is written from right to left. D. It is closely related to music.
2. Which language is the most widely used as a second language in the world?
A. Arabic. B. English. C. Chinese. D. Italian.
3. What’s the number of people who speak Italian?
A. Nearly 68 million. B. Around 370 million.
C. Over 379 million. D. Around 1.4 billion.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文,文章介绍了四种很酷的语言。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Arabic 中“Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages.(阿拉伯语是从右到左而不是从左到右书写的,这使它与许多其他语言不同。)”可知,阿拉伯语从右往左写。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据 English 中“English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.(英语是使用最广泛的第二语言,有超过10亿人将其作为非母语。这意味着将英语作为第二语言的人数大约是将其作为第一语言的人数的两倍。)”可知,作为第二语言使用最广泛的是英语。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Italian 中“Nearly 68 million people speak Italian.(将近6800万人说意大利语。)”可知,近6800万人说意大利语。
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.
【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。

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 (满分25分)
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。
One afternoon after school, Mary and her brother, Keith, were eating at a cafe near their home. That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her cellphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.
Mary saw the cellphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her cellphone.”Keith looked at the cellphone. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Keith had always wanted a cellphone. But his parents had told him, “You don’t need one. You can always use the house phone.” He stared at it for some minutes. Then, he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the cellphone.” Mary could not believe her ears. She only stared at her brother, “You can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it?”
After making the decision, Keith quickly got the cellphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly.
Once back home, Keith locked his room door with trembling (颤抖的) hands. Inside his room, he took out the piece of beauty. Oh, he liked it so much. He had his own cellphone. Soon, he was polishing it happily. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the cellphone. What will you tell our father about this? He will ask you how you got the cellphone.” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary said, “Now you are lying too. Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest?”
Then, Mary saw a house phone number on the cover of the cellphone. “This is the girl’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number? We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her cellphone,” she was trying to talk some sense into him.
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。
That night, Keith turned over in bed from time to time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mary was very happy to hear that.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
That night, Keith turned over in bed from time to time. He had difficulty sleeping, uncertain about what he should do. Of course, he liked the new cellphone. However, he was feeling sorry for the owner. When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her cellphone, he was full of guilt and shame. The next morning, after a long and restless night, he was determined to return the cellphone to the owner. After school, he told Mary, “I am going to phone the owner.”
Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner’s house phone. A girl answered the phone. Kevin asked, “Are you the owner of the cellphone? I’m Keith. I have your cellphone. Can you come and get it?” The girl replied “Yes” excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, she was at the same cafe to meet Keith. Handing back the cellphone to her and seeing her smile happily, Keith realized that honesty was indeed the best policy.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一天下午,Mary和她的弟弟Keith放学后在咖啡馆吃饭时,同桌的一位年轻女士把手机落在了桌子上。面对最新型号手机的诱惑,Keith想把手机据为己有,Mary却认为应把手机物归原主。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上,Keith不时地在床上翻个身。”可知,第一段可描写Keith因为羞愧而睡不着,决定归还手机。
②由第二段首句内容“Mary听到这个消息很高兴。”可知,第二段可描写Keith和Mary一起去还手机以及Keith的感悟。
2.续写线索:Keith睡不着——感到羞愧——决定归还手机——打电话联系失主——失主高兴,表示感谢——归还手机——Keith感悟
3.词汇激活
①行为类
归还:return /give back
打电话:phone /call
压倒:overcome/overwhelm
下定决心做某事:be determined to do sth./make up one’s mind to do sth.
②情绪类
高兴的:happy/delighted
表示感谢:express one’s gratitude/show one’s appreciation

Four Cool Languages
Chinese
Around 1.4 billion people speak Chinese. Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B. C.
Arabic
Over 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages.
English
Around 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries.
English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.
Italian
Nearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian.
Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings of musical terms in greater depth.
1. What is a feature of Arabic?
A It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts. B. It helps artists with their artworks.
C. It is written from right to left. D. It is closely related to music.
2. Which language is the most widely used as a second language in the world?
A. Arabic. B. English. C. Chinese. D. Italian.

A. Nearly 68 million. B. Around 370 million.
C. Over 379 million. D. Around 1.4 billion.
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

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。
One afternoon after school, Mary and her brother, Keith, were eating at a cafe near their home. That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her cellphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.
Mary saw the cellphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her cellphone.”Keith looked at the cellphone. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Keith had always wanted a cellphone. But his parents had told him, “You don’t need one. You can always use the house phone.” He stared at it for some minutes. Then, he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the cellphone.” Mary could not believe her ears. She only stared at her brother, “You can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it?”
After making the decision, Keith quickly got the cellphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly.
Once back home, Keith locked his room door with trembling (颤抖的) hands. Inside his room, he took out the piece of beauty. Oh, he liked it so much. He had his own cellphone. Soon, he was polishing it happily. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the cellphone. What will you tell our father about this? He will ask you how you got the cellphone.” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary said, “Now you are lying too. Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest?”
Then, Mary saw a house phone number on the cover of the cellphone. “This is the girl’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number? We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her cellphone,” she was trying to talk some sense into him.
注意:1. 续写词数应150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That night, Keith turned over in bed from time to time.
