A few years earlier, he had bought his childhood house and moved in. While Brown wondered about a second care er in gardening, he heard a different internal voice. “That child who used to love drawing whispered to me down the years,” he said. Some unacknowledged longing in him was brought out. There was a great oak tree near his home. It had stood out to his young self as a “fantastical giant — a treasure home to birds, insects and animals. There was a cave inside. We used to squeeze in through this hole.” He decided to lock himself away for two months to draw it in all its glorious detail. “While I was drawing,” he said, “there came moments when it was as though the tree was drawing itself. I had spent so much time playing in it. I could feel it. It was deep inside me.” His finished oak held “a real power”, he said. “As you walk towards it, it just grows.” Brown became a tree portraitist. Over the next few years, he travelled across Britain and spent days with the trees selected with the help of the Ancient Tree Forum, the Tree Council and the Woodland Trust. Brown has started work on a 20-drawing series of Britain’s most important ash trees. “These beautiful old ash trees are going to be lost to us,” he says. “They are 350 years old and they are dying because of a disease that we’ve spread.” Drawing is not only an act of care and a demand for preservation, but it “gives me that interface between my passion for the natural world and my creativity,” Brown says. It has also given him a different perspective on the passage of time. “I’m an old man yet I’m only 71, and some of the trees I’ve drawn are 1,000 years old. When I’m with them and when I draw them, I think about the end of my life and the brief nature of human life that passes momentarily beneath them.” 24. At the age of 57, Brown ______. A. moved into his old house B. awakened a childhood interest C. reached the peak of his life D. developed a passion for gardening 25. What can we learn about the oak tree and Brown? A. It helped him start a new career. B. It linked him with the world. C. He built a tree house in it. D. He studied creatures in it. 26. What is Brown working on? A. Setting up tree organizations. B. Looking for cures for tree diseases. C. Drawing to call for protection for trees. D. Travelling to select important trees in Britain. 27. When Brown is with trees, he feels that ______. A. time is endless B. human life is temporary C. nature is dynamic D. life-long learning is crucial 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了57岁的马克·布朗唤醒了儿时的兴趣，成为了一名树木肖像画家。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““That child who used to love drawing whispered to me down the years,” he said. Some unacknowledged longing in him was brought out.(“那个喜欢画画的孩子多年来一直对我耳语，”他说。他心中某种未被承认的渴望被激发出来了)”可知，57岁时，布朗唤醒了儿时的兴趣。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“His finished oak held “a real power”, he said. “As you walk towards it, it just grows.” Brown became a tree portraitist.(他说，他的成品橡木拥有“真正的力量”。“当你走向它的时候，它就会越来越大。”布朗成为了一名树木肖像画家)”可知，橡树让布朗开始了新的职业生涯。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““These beautiful old ash trees are going to be lost to us,” he says. “They are 350 years old and they are dying because of a disease that we’ve spread.”(“这些美丽的老白蜡树对我们来说将会失去，”他说。“它们已经350岁了，由于我们传播的疾病，它们正在死去。”)”可知，布朗呼吁保护树木。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When I’m with them and when I draw them, I think about the end of my life and the brief nature of human life that passes momentarily beneath them.(当我和他们在一起，当我画他们的时候，我想到了我生命的终结，以及人类生命的短暂本质，在他们下面转瞬即逝)”可知，当布朗和树在一起时，他觉得人的生命是短暂的。故选B。 C Suy credits his interest in photography to a French journalist he met in 2000. Since 2012. he has used his love of photography for a good cause: protecting wildlife. As more and more animal species began to disappeer from Kandal Province, he grew worried. So he created a photo project which he hoped would bring more attention to the loss of natural habitats in Cambodia. He hopes to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect they have on nature. He said, “The biggest issue is the damage to habitats and poaching".Besides that, it is due to the demand from the rich who desire wild meat and who consider wild meat chemical-free. His photography work has shown “how lack of education and law enforcemen” makes the problem worse. Hunting is at the root of Cambodian culture.“Education is very limited,” he said. “And in terms of legal enforcement, only one organization is standing out, and that is the Wildlife Alliance.” He noted that the group had carried out a number of successful crackdowns against hunting. But there were few major campaigns on wildlife hunting.as a whole. Protected areas within forests have disappeared at the same rate as forests in other parts of the country Poaching and hunting have led to the loss of animal and plant species in Cambodia. To Chantha Nasak, a wildlife expert, the damage to wildlife habitats is the main reason for the decrease in the number of wild animals.He says the destruction of forests and the use of land for agricultural and other purposes are the biggest threats, as well as the climate change. However. there are already agreements between some NGOs and the Cambodian government to help wild species. Also. Chantha Nasak says some communities are working together to protect wildlife around the country. “All Cambodian citizens should join hands in the protection of wildlife, not just the NGOs and the government,” he said. “It should be everyone.” 28. What problem did Suy meet in his photography work? A. Cambodians have a poor knowledge of protecting wildlife B. Cambodians are lacking their culture of hunting C. Cambodians like major campaigns on hunting wildlife D. Cambodians have limited education about hunting. 29. Why do the rich find wild meat in Cambodia? A. It contains high nutrition. B. It is free of chemieals. C. It tastes delicious and fresh. D. It is a symbol of social positions. 30. What is the main factor in leading to the decrease in wild animalsChantha thinks ? A. the climate change B. the wild meat trade C. the damage to wildlife habitats D. the still-not-prohibited hunting 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. A Cambodian is teaching the hunting culture. B. A photographer has a good knowledge of wildlife. C. A photographer is struggling with poachers D. A Cambodian photographer urges to protect wildlife 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。本文主要介绍了一个柬埔寨摄影师利用自己手中的相机反映柬埔寨野生动物的现状，以此来呼吁人们保护野生动物。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“His photography work has shown “how lack of education and law enforcemen” makes the problem worse… “Education is very limited,” he said. (他的摄影作品表明，“缺乏教育和执法人员”使问题变得更糟……“教育非常有限”他说。)”可知，他在保护野生动物的过程中，遇到的困难是柬埔寨人所受的教育落后，文化程度低，不懂得保护野生动物的意义。因此，苏伊在摄影工作中遇到问题是A项“Cambodians have a poor knowledge of protecting wildlife(柬埔寨人对保护野生动物知之甚少) ”符合题意，故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Besides that, it is due to the demand from the rich who desire wild meat and who consider wild meat chemical-free. (除此之外，这是由于富人的渴望野肉和认为野肉不含化学成分的需求)”可知，柬埔寨的富人们认为野生动物的肉质好，不含化学物质。因此，柬埔寨的富人是找野肉的原因是B项“It is free of chemieals.(它不含化学物质)”符合题意，故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“To Chantha Nasak, a wildlife expert, the damage to wildlife habitats is the main reason for the decrease in the number of wild animals. (野生动物专家ChanthaNasak认为，对野生动物栖息地的破坏是野生动物数量减少的主要原因)”可知，栖息地的破坏是野生动物锐减的主要因素。因此，桑塔认为，导致野生动物数量减少的主要因素是是C项“the damage to wildlife habitats(对野生动物栖息地的破坏)”符合题意，故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Suy credits his interest in photography to a French journalist he met in 2000. Since 2012. he has used h love of photography for a good cause: protecting wildlife. (苏将自己对摄影的兴趣归功于2000年遇到的一位法国记者。自2012年起。他把对摄影的热爱用于一个好的事业：保护野生动物)”可知，本文主要介绍了一个柬埔寨摄影师利用自己手中的相机反映柬埔寨野生动物的现状，以此来呼吁人们保护野生动物。因此，课文的主要思想是是D项“A Cambodian photographer urges to protect wildlife(柬埔寨摄影师呼吁保护野生动物)”符合题意，故选D项。 D “I like pigs,” Winston Churchill supposedly once said. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” Whether Churchill’s contemporary George Orwell also liked pigs is less clear. But he, too, surely saw something in them that was lacking in many domestic (驯养的) animals, for it was they who ended up running the show in his novel, Animal Farm. Pigs, then, are intelligent social creatures. And, like all animals, they sometimes fight. Some pigs tend to be attackers; others tend to be victims. Who is what depends largely on weight. Among pigs, pounds mean power. The attacker might bite, kick or push the victim. Most conflicts end in seconds, but some last a minute or two. In most animal species fights would be like that. However, many of the conflicts among pigs Dr Norscia, a biologist, observed had interested parties beyond the fighters. He therefore wanted to understand the role of these bystanders in solving conflicts—and what this says about pigs’ cognitive (认知的) abilities. Since there was usually not enough time for a bystander pig to become involved in the heat of a conflict, though this did occur, Dr Norscia looked at what happened in the three minutes immediately following a fight. Sometimes, he found, the fighters reconciled with each other on their own. The more distantly related the fighters were, the more frequently this happened. Dr Norscia guessed that relations between close relatives are more secure to start with, so rebuilding friendly relations rapidly is less necessary for them. On other occasions, however, a third pig stepped in. Sometimes this bystander interacted with the attacker, which reduced the number of attacks coming after. Sometimes, the bystander interacted with the victim. This appeared to calm the victim down, for it reduced anxiety-related behavior. Social intelligence need not, though, be entirely selfless. Pigs are more likely to step in after a conflict if they are closely related to either the attacker or the victim. This is probably an example of kin selection (亲属选择), which favors the development of behavior. 32. Why are Churchill and Orwell mentioned at the beginning? A. To show their preference for pigs. B. To add some related backgrounds. C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To present their attitude to animals. 33. What is special about pigs’ fights? A. They aim to show power. B. They have audiences. C. They last a little bit longer. D. They happen more often. 34. What does the underlined word “reconciled” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Caught up. B. Kept in touch. C. Made up. D. Changed in tune. 35. Which of the following reflects pigs’ social intelligence? A. Offering comfort to victim pigs. B. Forming special bonds with strangers. C. Sticking to their behavior. D. Caring for others with selfless devotion. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了猪打架后如何和解，这证实了猪是非常聪明的。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中““I like pigs,” Winston Churchill supposedly once said. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” Whether Churchill’s contemporary George Orwell also liked pigs is less clear.”（据说温斯顿·丘吉尔曾经说过：“我喜欢猪。”“狗尊敬我们。猫看不起我们。猪对我们是平等的。”与丘吉尔同时代的乔治·奥威尔(George Orwell)是否也喜欢猪就不那么清楚了。）并联系下文对猪的探讨可推知，作者一开始就提到丘吉尔和奥威尔是为了引出本文要探讨的话题。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In most animal species fights would be like that. However, many of the conflicts among pigs Dr Norscia, a biologist, observed had interested parties beyond the fighters. He therefore wanted to understand the role of these bystanders in solving conflicts—and what this says about pigs’ cognitive (认知的) abilities.”（大多数动物的争斗都是这样的。然而，生物学家Norscia博士观察到，在猪之间的许多冲突中，除了打架者之外，还有其他利益相关方。因此，他想了解这些旁观者在解决冲突中的作用，以及这对猪的认知能力有何影响。）可知，猪打架的特别之处是它们会有旁观者。故选B项。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“The more distantly related the fighters were, the more frequently this happened. Dr Norscia guessed that relations between close relatives are more secure to start with, so rebuilding friendly relations rapidly is less necessary for them.”（打架者的亲缘关系越远，这种情况发生的频率就越高。Norscia博士猜测，近亲之间的关系一开始就更安全，因此迅速重建友好关系对他们来说就不那么必要了。）可推知，此处为Norscia博士发现，打架者会自行和解。故可猜测划线单词reconciled为“和解”的意思，结合选项C项Made up“和解，和好”意思一致。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“On other occasions, however, a third pig stepped in. Sometimes this bystander interacted with the attacker, which reduced the number of attacks coming after. Sometimes, the bystander interacted with the victim. This appeared to calm the victim down, for it reduced anxiety-related behavior.”（然而，在其他情况下，第三只猪会介入。有时，这个旁观者与攻击者互动，这减少了随后的攻击次数。有时，旁观者会与受害者互动。这似乎使受害者平静下来，因为它减少了与焦虑相关的行为。）可知，旁观者在解决冲突中起到了一定作用，安慰受害者，与攻击者互动，这反反映了猪的社会智能。故选A项。 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 improve the taste of your drinking water Like many people, you may drink less plain water than you did when you were younger. There are a lot of possible reasons for this: Your sense of thirst may become weaker with age. ___36___ Therefore, hydration (水合作用) is crucial for good health, and there are plenty of ways to improve the taste of your drinking water. Try a water filter pitcher A water filter pitcher can improve the taste and smell of what comes out of your tap. Consumer Reports tests these products by adding water with nontoxic additives that copy the odor and flavor of rotten vegetables, damp soil, metal or moldy compost (发霉的堆肥). ___37___ ___38___ You might also think about buying an under-the-sink water filter. We’ve found that the under-the-sink filters in Consumer Reports’ tests improve water’s taste and odor slightly better than water pitcher filters do. Add flavor If even filtered water doesn’t taste great, you can doctor it a bit. ___39___ Or fill a pitcher with fruits and herbs you like: Citrus, cucumber, berries, melons, basil and mint are a few possibilities. Make it sparkle ___40___ Dissolve it yourself with seltzer (苏打水) makers from brands like SodaStream and Drinkmate. A. Consider an upgrade. B. Check your water quality. C. And some older adults may no longer find the taste of water appealing. D. Leave your pitcher or glass out on the countertop or microwave it briefly to warm it. E. A splash of 100 percent fruit juice can be a good way to add a little flavor to a glass of water. F. Then a panel of professional tasters evaluates how well each filter removes unpleasant tastes and smells. G.

But I knew that my family couldn’t afford one, so I decided to have a bedside table with lockable drawers (抽屉), a safe place to keep my private stuff. With my parents, I went to the charity shop where we found a used dark table. It was old and didn’t look cool, but I thought I would paint it to make it look better. After we took it home, I was getting ready to paint it. When I pulled the drawers out, I felt something stuck to the back. I reached in all the way, and guess what? A scaled (密封的) bag with some papers in it. When I opened the bag, I realized that the papers were official documents. And, wrapped (包装) in them were a bunch of ten and twenty dollar bills! I found a treasure on my birthday! “Is this some kind of joke?” I said aloud. I went ahead and read the papers, and it turned out to be a will (遗嘱). An old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren. My mind was going crazy. “Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever? With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. Who knows?” I began counting. Two thousand dollars! I lay on my bed, starting thinking. What a dilemma (进退两难的窘境)! I wished there were someone I could talk with. Could I keep it and get all kinds of stuff for me and my family? It wouldn’t be too bad for me to keep it…, right? Thoughts ran through my mind. But in fact I really didn’t need someone else to give me the answer. 注意：1.所续写短文词数应150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Though surprised, the shop owner helped find out the family’s telephone number. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom. With a trembling voice, I showed them the money and confessed everything that had happened. They listened quietly, their expressions shifting from shock to concern. "We can't keep this, it should be returned," my mom said firmly. My dad nodded in agreement. I felt a pang of disappointment but also a sense of relief. I knew they were right, and I was proud of myself for making the honest choice. Though surprised, the shop owner helped find out the family’s telephone number. The next day, my parents and I drove to the address provided. When we arrived, we were greeted by an elderly man who seemed confused at first. But as we explained the situation, he hugged us, thanking us repeatedly for our honesty. He insisted on giving me a small reward, a beautiful charm bracelet that had belonged to his mother. It was a symbol of his gratitude and a reminder of the importance of integrity. As we left, I felt a sense of accomplishment and joy that surpassed any material gift, knowing that I had done the right thing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以生日发现意外之财为线索展开，讲述了作者在十二岁生日时，从二手床头柜中发现一笔钱和遗嘱，经过内心挣扎后决定归还的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容 “我最终做了一个决定，把父母叫进我的卧室。” 可知，第一段可描写作者向父母坦白并决定归还钱财，以及作者的内心感受。 ②由第二段首句内容 “虽然很惊讶，店主帮忙找到了这家人的电话号码。” 可知，第二段可描写作者一家归还钱财后得到的回报以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：叫父母 —— 坦白 —— 父母决定归还 —— 店主帮忙 —— 找到家人 —— 归还钱财 —— 得到回报 —— 感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①坦白：confess/admit ②归还：hug/embrace ③重要性：importance/significance 情绪类 ①失望：disappointment/frustration ②自豪：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型 1] With a trembling voice, I showed them the money and confessed everything that had happened.（使用了with的复合结构） [高分句型 2] But as we explained the situation, he hugged us, thanking us repeatedly for our honesty.（使用了现在分词作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 丹东市五校协作体联考英语试卷 考试时间: 120分钟 满分: 150分 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

Medical and Healthcare Projects If you’re a medical student hoping to gain some valuable experience, we have suitable placements for you.

If you are unskilled, but have an interest and would like to assist in this field then you can also help in many project areas. Sports Coaching Projects Our sports volunteer projects involve children of different ages and abilities, or sometimes adults as well. Therefore, anyone with sports coaching skills will be put to very good use, trying to bring on the African sports stars of the future. You’ll be able to help organize sporting activities, teach new sports to the children, coach them in their sports sessions and even play football against the local team-don’t expect to win! Wildlife and Conservation Projects Wildlife conservation volunteering in Africa can be hard work at times as you have to deal with the human-wildlife conflicts and ensure local communities benefit from conservation. However, there are some major positives, generally based in some of the most amazing natural areas. They get you behind the scenes of places that tourists will often pay large amounts of money to visit on holiday. If you have relevant conservation experience or qualifications, or as part of your studies, then please get in touch. 21. In Wildlife and Conservation Projects, you will ______.

A few years earlier, he had bought his childhood house and moved in. While Brown wondered about a second care er in gardening, he heard a different internal voice. “That child who used to love drawing whispered to me down the years,” he said. Some unacknowledged longing in him was brought out. There was a great oak tree near his home. It had stood out to his young self as a “fantastical giant — a treasure home to birds, insects and animals. There was a cave inside. We used to squeeze in through this hole.” He decided to lock himself away for two months to draw it in all its glorious detail. “While I was drawing,” he said, “there came moments when it was as though the tree was drawing itself. I had spent so much time playing in it. I could feel it. It was deep inside me.” His finished oak held “a real power”, he said. “As you walk towards it, it just grows.” Brown became a tree portraitist. Over the next few years, he travelled across Britain and spent days with the trees selected with the help of the Ancient Tree Forum, the Tree Council and the Woodland Trust. Brown has started work on a 20-drawing series of Britain’s most important ash trees. “These beautiful old ash trees are going to be lost to us,” he says. “They are 350 years old and they are dying because of a disease that we’ve spread.” Drawing is not only an act of care and a demand for preservation, but it “gives me that interface between my passion for the natural world and my creativity,” Brown says. It has also given him a different perspective on the passage of time. “I’m an old man yet I’m only 71, and some of the trees I’ve drawn are 1,000 years old. When I’m with them and when I draw them, I think about the end of my life and the brief nature of human life that passes momentarily beneath them.” 24. At the age of 57, Brown ______. A. moved into his old house B. awakened a childhood interest C. reached the peak of his life D. developed a passion for gardening 25. What can we learn about the oak tree and Brown? A. It helped him start a new career. B. It linked him with the world. C. He built a tree house in it. D. He studied creatures in it. 26. What is Brown working on? A. Setting up tree organizations. B. Looking for cures for tree diseases. C. Drawing to call for protection for trees. D. Travelling to select important trees in Britain. 27. When Brown is with trees, he feels that ______. A. time is endless B. human life is temporary C. nature is dynamic D. life-long learning is crucial C Suy credits his interest in photography to a French journalist he met in 2000. Since 2012. he has used his love of photography for a good cause: protecting wildlife. As more and more animal species began to disappeer from Kandal Province, he grew worried. So he created a photo project which he hoped would bring more attention to the loss of natural habitats in Cambodia. He hopes to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect they have on nature. He said, “The biggest issue is the damage to habitats and poaching".Besides that, it is due to the demand from the rich who desire wild meat and who consider wild meat chemical-free. His photography work has shown “how lack of education and law enforcemen” makes the problem worse. Hunting is at the root of Cambodian culture.“Education is very limited,” he said. “And in terms of legal enforcement, only one organization is standing out, and that is the Wildlife Alliance.” He noted that the group had carried out a number of successful crackdowns against hunting. But there were few major campaigns on wildlife hunting.as a whole. Protected areas within forests have disappeared at the same rate as forests in other parts of the country Poaching and hunting have led to the loss of animal and plant species in Cambodia. To Chantha Nasak, a wildlife expert, the damage to wildlife habitats is the main reason for the decrease in the number of wild animals.He says the destruction of forests and the use of land for agricultural and other purposes are the biggest threats, as well as the climate change. However. there are already agreements between some NGOs and the Cambodian government to help wild species. Also. Chantha Nasak says some communities are working together to protect wildlife around the country. “All Cambodian citizens should join hands in the protection of wildlife, not just the NGOs and the government,” he said. “It should be everyone.” 28. What problem did Suy meet in his photography work? A. Cambodians have a poor knowledge of protecting wildlife B. Cambodians are lacking their culture of hunting C. Cambodians like major campaigns on hunting wildlife D. Cambodians have limited education about hunting. 29. Why do the rich find wild meat in Cambodia? A. It contains high nutrition. B. It is free of chemieals. C. It tastes delicious and fresh. D. It is a symbol of social positions. 30. What is the main factor in leading to the decrease in wild animalsChantha thinks ? A. the climate change B. the wild meat trade C. the damage to wildlife habitats D. the still-not-prohibited hunting 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. A Cambodian is teaching the hunting culture. B A photographer has a good knowledge of wildlife. C. A photographer is struggling with poachers D. A Cambodian photographer urges to protect wildlife D “I like pigs,” Winston Churchill supposedly once said. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” Whether Churchill’s contemporary George Orwell also liked pigs is less clear. But he, too, surely saw something in them that was lacking in many domestic (驯养的) animals, for it was they who ended up running the show in his novel, Animal Farm. Pigs, then, are intelligent social creatures. And, like all animals, they sometimes fight. Some pigs tend to be attackers; others tend to be victims. Who is what depends largely on weight. Among pigs, pounds mean power. The attacker might bite, kick or push the victim. Most conflicts end in seconds, but some last a minute or two. In most animal species fights would be like that. However, many of the conflicts among pigs Dr Norscia, a biologist, observed had interested parties beyond the fighters. He therefore wanted to understand the role of these bystanders in solving conflicts—and what this says about pigs’ cognitive (认知的) abilities. Since there was usually not enough time for a bystander pig to become involved in the heat of a conflict, though this did occur, Dr Norscia looked at what happened in the three minutes immediately following a fight. Sometimes, he found, the fighters reconciled with each other on their own. The more distantly related the fighters were, the more frequently this happened. Dr Norscia guessed that relations between close relatives are more secure to start with, so rebuilding friendly relations rapidly is less necessary for them. On other occasions, however, a third pig stepped in. Sometimes this bystander interacted with the attacker, which reduced the number of attacks coming after. Sometimes, the bystander interacted with the victim. This appeared to calm the victim down, for it reduced anxiety-related behavior. Social intelligence need not, though, be entirely selfless. Pigs are more likely to step in after a conflict if they are closely related to either the attacker or the victim. This is probably an example of kin selection (亲属选择), which favors the development of behavior. 32. Why are Churchill and Orwell mentioned at the beginning? A. To show their preference for pigs. B. To add some related backgrounds. C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To present their attitude to animals. 33. What is special about pigs’ fights? A. They aim to show power. B. They have audiences. C. They last a little bit longer. D. They happen more often. 34. What does the underlined word “reconciled” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Caught up. B. Kept in touch. C. Made up. D. Changed in tune. 35. Which of the following reflects pigs’ social intelligence? A. Offering comfort to victim pigs. B. Forming special bonds with strangers. C. Sticking to their behavior. D. Caring for others with selfless devotion. 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 improve the taste of your drinking water Like many people, you may drink less plain water than you did when you were younger.

But I knew that my family couldn’t afford one, so I decided to have a bedside table with lockable drawers (抽屉), a safe place to keep my private stuff. With my parents, I went to the charity shop where we found a used dark table. It was old and didn’t look cool, but I thought I would paint it to make it look better. After we took it home, I was getting ready to paint it. When I pulled the drawers out, I felt something stuck to the back. I reached in all the way, and guess what? A scaled (密封) bag with some papers in it. When I opened the bag, I realized that the papers were official documents. And, wrapped (包装) in them were a bunch of ten and twenty dollar bills! I found a treasure on my birthday! “Is this some kind of joke?” I said aloud. I went ahead and read the papers, and it turned out to be a will (遗嘱). An old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren. My mind was going crazy. “Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever? With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. Who knows?” I began counting. Two thousand dollars! I lay on my bed, starting thinking. What a dilemma (进退两难的窘境)! I wished there were someone I could talk with. Could I keep it and get all kinds of stuff for me and my family? It wouldn’t be too bad for me to keep it…, right? Thoughts ran through my mind. But in fact I really didn’t need someone else to give me the answer. 注意：1.所续写短文词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Though surprised, the shop owner helped find out the family’s telephone number. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
