As a result of this, they heavily rely on body language to pass their different messages to people. Read this post to find out more on what your dog is trying to tell you. You may be shocked at some of these signs from your dog, because believe it or not, there are some that you would have never thought of. Raising their paws. When you see your dog raising its paws, it’s a sign that they want to play or simply need something from you. This is a behavior that’s displayed mostly by puppies and other small dogs. Whenever puppies want to eat, they will raise their paws or put them out for their mother. So when it does the same to you, it just means they need some attention and affection. Eating grass. Seeing a dog eating grass is not the most unusual thing but unfortunately this mostly means that the dog lacks an important nutrient. It could also mean that they are trying to digest (消化) their food well considering how fibrous grass is. You should also be very careful because this could also be an indication that your dog has worms in their intestines (肠). Eating grass could also mean that the dog is dehydrated (脱水) and that they could be trying to get water from the grass. That said, if this happens a lot, take your dog to the vet because it’s better to ensure their safety. Energy boosting. Although there are some dogs enjoy baths, there aren’t too many of them around. The average dog does not like taking a bath and if you notice that your dog running around the house like it’s crazy after one, they didn’t like the bath. Many dogs really hate being wet, and running so energetically is a way to dry off more quickly. 1 Why does a dog raise its paws? A. It shows its lovely expression. B. Its habit allows a dog to do that. C. It needs attention and affection from people. D. It is anxious about something different from people. 2. What can you do when your dogs eat grass? A. Give them a bath. B. Walk them outside. C. Ignore this behavior. D. Take them to the vet. 3. What does the text mainly talk about? A. People are shocked at dogs’ signs. B. People never think of dogs’ signs. C. Dogs’ body language is different from people. D. Dogs’ body language passes different messages to people. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了狗通过肢体语言向人们传递不同的信息，如抬爪子表示需求关注或玩耍，吃草可能暗示营养缺乏或消化问题，以及精力旺盛可能是对洗澡的厌恶。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Whenever puppies want to eat, they will raise their paws or put them out for their mother. So when it does the same to you, it just means they need some attention and affection. (每当小狗想吃东西的时候，它们就会举起爪子或把爪子伸出来找妈妈。所以当它对你做同样的事情时，这只意味着他们需要一些关注和关爱)”可知，狗抬起爪子是因为它需要人们的关注和关爱。故选C项。 2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“That said, if this happens a lot, take your dog to the vet because it’s better to ensure their safety.

McDonald’s China clarified that they do not sell the products linked to the recent US outbreak nor do they use any related ingredients, as reported by The Paper. “We strictly comply with legal regulations and quality management standards. Please be assured,” the company said. The number of illnesses is up from the 49 previously reported and the number of states has increased by three. McDonald’s says onions from California-based company are linked to E. coli outbreak. At least 22 people have been hospitalized — including two people who have since developed serious complications (并发症) that can lead to kidney failure — potentially after eating fresh onions on the hamburgers sourced from the California-based Taylor Farms. The CDC previously reported that 10 people had been hospitalized. Although most people who become ill recover without treatment within a week, others can develop serious kidney problems and require hospitalization. Seniors, children younger than five and people with weakened immune systems are most at risk of infection. Consumers (顾客) are thought to have gotten sick between Sept.27 and Oct.10. Major food service distributor US Foods announced on Thursday that Taylor Farms had issued a recall for onions over possible E. coli pollution. A US Foods spokesperson said that the wholesale company is not a supplier to McDonald’s. 4. Where is the passage taken from? A. A report. B. A novel. C. A brochure. D. An encyclopedia. 5. What caused the E. coli outbreak? A. Eating McDonald’s hamburgers. B. The bad food service of some states. C. The pollution from the Taylor Farms. D. Eating fresh onions on the McDonald’s hamburgers. 6. Who will most likely get sick after eating the hamburgers? A. The young consumers. B. The supplier to McDonald’s. C. People with health problems. D. Major food service distributors. 7. What’s the best title of the text? A. McDonald’s Hamburgers. B. A Food Poisoning Event. C. The Source of Poisoning Food. D. The Spread Disease. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一起由大肠杆菌引起的食物中毒事件，涉及麦当劳餐厅和多个受害者。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“An E. coli (大肠杆菌) outbreak linked to McDonald’s signature Quarter Pounder hamburgers has sickened at least 75 people across 13 states, one person has died, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Friday.(美国疾病控制与预防中心周五报道，与麦当劳招牌产品“巨无霸”汉堡相关的大肠杆菌爆发事件已导致13个州至少75人患病，其中一人死亡)”可知，文章主要是一篇关于大肠杆菌爆发的报告。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“McDonald’s says onions from California-based company are linked to E. coli outbreak. At least 22 people have been hospitalized — including two people who have since developed serious complications (并发症) that can lead to kidney failure — potentially after eating fresh onions on the hamburgers sourced from the California-based Taylor Farms.(麦当劳表示，来自加州某公司的洋葱与大肠杆菌爆发有关。至少有22人住院治疗——其中包括两人后来出现了可能导致肾衰竭的严重并发症——他们可能是食用了来自加州Taylor Farms的汉堡上的新鲜洋葱后出现的问题)”可知，吃麦当劳汉堡上的新鲜洋葱是导致大肠杆菌爆发的原因。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Seniors, children younger than five and people with weakened immune systems are most at risk of infection.(老年人、五岁以下儿童和免疫系统较弱的人最容易感染)”可知，有健康问题的人（即免疫系统较弱的人）在吃汉堡后最容易生病。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要报道了一起由大肠杆菌引起的食物中毒事件，涉及麦当劳餐厅和多个受害者。因此，最合适的标题是“A Food Poisoning Event(一起食物中毒事件)”。故选B。 C Muhammad Ali was an all-time great boxer and entertainer. He was a three-time world heavyweight champion, an Olympic gold medallist, and as masterful approaching a microphone as he was in the stadium. Later in life, he was made a United Nations Messenger of Peace, and awarded the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom. He’s widely celebrated today, but that wasn’t always true during his boxing career. Ali was a confident, capable, black Muslim athlete who was unafraid to speak his mind and stand up for his ideals. That made him very unpopular with a lot of people in 1960s America. Ali once said, “I am America. I am the part you won’t recognize. But get used to me. Black; confident; cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own. Get used to me.” Born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1942, he changed his name when he became a Muslim. He explained that “Cassius Clay is a slave name. I didn’t choose it, and I don’t want it. I am Muhammad Ali, a free name— it means beloved of God, and I insist that people use it when people speak to me and of me.” In 1966, Ali was at the height of his success as a boxer. At the same time, the US was fighting a war in Vietnam. The government was drafting (选拔) young men to fight, which meant they had to join the Armed Forces when called. Refusing without an officially allowed reason was illegal. Ali was drafted, but refused anyway. He said he wouldn’t fight in Vietnam because it was against his religion and because black people in America were still “treated like dogs and denied simple human rights.” Most Americans supported the Vietnam War at that time, and some thought Ali was a traitor (叛国者). TV host David Susskind called him “a disgrace (耻辱) to his country, his race, and what he laughingly describes as his profession.” Ali was stripped of his heavyweight title, disqualified from fighting, and given a $10,000 fine and a prison sentence. But to many, he was a hero. Civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton said, “he knew he was going to jail and did it anyway. That’s another level of leadership and sacrifice.” 8. What made Ali disliked by many people in his boxing career? A. He became an entertainer. B. He couldn’t speak his mind. C. He was a black Muslim athlete. D. He didn’t get used to his part. 9. Why did he change his name? A. Because he became a Muslim. B. Because Muhammad Ali was a free name. C. Because he was a successful boxer. D. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky. 10. Which of the following statement is true? A. Ali used to be a prisoner. B. Ali used to fight in Vietnam War. C. Ali used to be the United States President. D. Ali was thought as a hero by David Susskind. 11. What is the attitude to Ali from Reverend Al Sharpton? A. Opposing. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Supportive. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了穆罕默德·阿里的拳击生涯和他反对越南战争的立场。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“Ali was a confident, capable, black Muslim athlete who was unafraid to speak his mind and stand up for his ideals. That made him very unpopular with a lot of people in 1960s America.(阿里是一位自信、有能力的黑人穆斯林运动员，他敢于说出自己的想法，为自己的理想挺身而出。)”可知，黑人穆斯林的身份以及敢于表达自己想法的性格使阿里不受欢迎。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中“Cassius Clay is a slave name. I didn’t choose it, and I don’t want it. I am Muhammad Ali, a free name— it means beloved of God, and I insist that people use it when people speak to me and of me.(卡修斯·克莱是一个奴隶的名字。不是我选择的，我也不想要。我是穆罕默德·阿里，这是一个自由的名字，意思是上帝所爱的人，我坚持人们在和我说话或谈论我时使用这个名字。)”可知，阿里的新名字象征着自由。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Ali was stripped of his heavyweight title, disqualified from fighting, and given a $10,000 fine and a prison sentence.(阿里被剥夺了重量级拳王头衔，取消了比赛资格，并被处以1万美元的罚款和监禁。)”可知，阿里因拒绝参加征兵而被判刑入狱。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But to many, he was a hero. Civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton said, “he knew he was going to jail and did it anyway. That’s another level of leadership and sacrifice.”(但对很多人来说，他是个英雄。民权领袖阿尔·夏普顿牧师说：“他知道自己会进监狱，但还是这么做了。这是领导力和牺牲的另一个层面。”)”可知，艾尔·夏普顿牧师对阿里持支持态度。故选D。 D Some believe that a person’s life and destiny can be read in the lines of his palm (手掌). But what if we told you there is an easier way for people to get to know themselves? Just look at your thumbs, and you’ll see. The size of your thumb reveals a lot about you. Whether it’s big or small, long or short, you can still learn a thing or two about yourself by taking a closer look at this unique body part. Types of thumbs. People can be divided into three distinct groups based on their thumb types. Let us call the different Thumb types A, B, and C. Thumb A. People with a larger-than-average top half on their thumbs tend to be more deeply in love with their partners. They are thought to be more faithful in their relationships. People with this type of thumb will always choose their relationship over anything else in life — nothing matters more than their career, hobbies, and their partner. Thumb B. Do the two halves of your thumbs match in size? In that case, people say you are calm and collected when it comes to relationships. You don’t let your emotions get out of control! You set goals and achieve them. You are a reasonable person. This also means you do not fall in love easily. Thumb C. If the bottom half of your thumb is longer than the top, you are an extremely reliable and trustworthy person. You tend to think things through before acting on them. When you finally let someone into your life and share everything with that person — good times, bad times, every part of yourself — there is a high probability that they are the one for you. 12. How are the three types of thumbs divided? A. By the size of the two halves of the thumb. B. By the length of the thumb. C. By the function of the thumb. D. By the lines of the palm. 13. What is the feature of people with Thumb A? A. Being loved by others. B. Caring about their career. C. Paying attention to their partners. D. Putting stress on relationship. 14. What do people with Thumb B and people with Thumb C have in common? A. They will achieve goals easily. B. They are careful to do things. C. They are positive and have many friends. D. They get along well with other people. 15. What can be inferred from the text? A. We can judge people by their thumbs. B. The types of the thumbs are decided by birth. C. People’s characters are decided by thumb types. D. People with Thumb A are more faithful than people with Thumb B. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15.

They are thought to be more faithful in their relationships. People with this type of thumb will always choose their relationship over anything else in life— nothing matters more than their career, hobbies, and their partner.(拇指上半部分比平均大小大的人往往更深爱他们的伴侣。他们被认为在关系中更忠诚。有这种拇指类型的人总是会选择他们的关系，而不是生活中的其他任何事情——没有什么比他们的事业、爱好和伴侣更重要的了)”可知，拇指A型的人重视关系。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In that case, people say you are calm and collected when it comes to relationships. You don’t let your emotions get out of control! You set goals and achieve them. You are a reasonable person. This also means you do not fall in love easily.(在这种情况下，人们说你在处理关系时很冷静，很镇定。你不会让情绪失控！你设定目标并去实现它们。你是一个理性的人。这也意味着你不容易坠入爱河)”和第五段“If the bottom half of your thumb is longer than the top, you are an extremely reliable and trustworthy person.

At first glance, it could look like damage. After all, why would anyone paint the trunks of trees white? ___16___ And while it has been around for ages, people are still confused by this strange yet interesting phenomenon. Generally speaking, the purpose of whitewashing is to protect the tree from heat and insects. ___17___ Let’s check them out! Sun burnt. You might sometimes notice that some chunks of a tree’s bark buckle and look as if they are about to fall. In gardening terms, that process is called Winter Sun Scald or Southwest Injury and usually occurs during the tree’s beginning growth. But what causes this phenomenon? Simply put, Sun Scald happens in areas such as New Mexico, where there is intense (强烈的) sun exposure, and the temperatures vary wildly between day and night.___18___ In other words, once you whitewash your young trees, their trunks’ surfaces won’t get dry and cracked as easily anymore. Heat protection. ___19___ Why? Because white paint acts as a protector that reflects the heat and allows the tree to spend more time on transpiration (蒸腾作用) and growing their fruits. Additionally, when trees are cooler, they have less stress, which makes their stomata (气孔) stay open a bit longer for the exchange of gases. That’s extremely important because the more carbon dioxide the trees take in, the more energy they create. ___20___ More often than not, a tree’s bark will crack, allowing insects to creep inside. Once that happens, bacteria will feed on the tree's inner body, preventing its growth and eventually killing it. As a result, whitewashing mixtures contain three parts water and one part interior latex paint (室内乳胶). The paint itself prevents insects from crawling up the tree and entering inside through the cracks. A. Illness and pests. B. Tree’s recovery. C. People whitewash trees for a variety of reasons. D. Fortunately, painting a tree’s trunk white is similar to adding sunscreen. E. Yet, whitewashing is anything but that, as it is actually pretty important! F. Painting the base of a young tree will also help it remain cool in the spring. G. However, depending on the area, there are many other reasons for whitewashing the trees. 【答案】16 E 17. G 18. D 19.

As a result of this, they heavily rely on body language to pass their different messages to people. Read this post to find out more on what your dog is trying to tell you. You may be shocked at some of these signs from your dog, because believe it or not, there are some that you would have never thought of. Raising their paws. When you see your dog raising its paws, it’s a sign that they want to play or simply need something from you. This is a behavior that’s displayed mostly by puppies and other small dogs. Whenever puppies want to eat, they will raise their paws or put them out for their mother. So when it does the same to you, it just means they need some attention and affection. Eating grass. Seeing a dog eating grass is not the most unusual thing but unfortunately this mostly means that the dog lacks an important nutrient. It could also mean that they are trying to digest (消化) their food well considering how fibrous grass is. You should also be very careful because this could also be an indication that your dog has worms in their intestines (肠). Eating grass could also mean that the dog is dehydrated (脱水) and that they could be trying to get water from the grass. That said, if this happens a lot, take your dog to the vet because it’s better to ensure their safety. Energy boosting. Although there are some dogs enjoy baths there aren’t too many of them around. The average dog does not like taking a bath and if you notice that your dog running around the house like it’s crazy after one, they didn’t like the bath. Many dogs really hate being wet, and running so energetically is a way to dry off more quickly. 1. Why does a dog raise its paws? A. It shows its lovely expression. B. Its habit allows a dog to do that. C. It needs attention and affection from people. D. It is anxious about something different from people. 2. What can you do when your dogs eat grass? A. Give them a bath. B. Walk them outside. C. Ignore this behavior. D. Take them to the vet. 3. What does the text mainly talk about? A. People are shocked at dogs’ signs. B. People never think of dogs’ signs. C. Dogs’ body language is different from people. D. Dogs’ body language passes different messages to people. B An E. coli (大肠杆菌) outbreak linked to McDonald’s signature Quarter Pounder hamburgers has sickened at least 75 people across 13 states, one person has died, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Friday. McDonald’s China clarified that they do not sell the products linked to the recent US outbreak nor do they use any related ingredients, as reported by The Paper. “We strictly comply with legal regulations and quality management standards. Please be assured,” the company said. The number of illnesses is up from the 49 previously reported and the number of states has increased by three. McDonald’s says onions from California-based company are linked to E. coli outbreak. At least 22 people have been hospitalized — including two people who have since developed serious complications (并发症) that can lead to kidney failure — potentially after eating fresh onions on the hamburgers sourced from the California-based Taylor Farms. The CDC previously reported that 10 people had been hospitalized. Although most people who become ill recover without treatment within a week, others can develop serious kidney problems and require hospitalization. Seniors, children younger than five and people with weakened immune systems are most at risk of infection. Consumers (顾客) are thought to have gotten sick between Sept.27 and Oct.10. Major food service distributor US Foods announced on Thursday that Taylor Farms had issued a recall for onions over possible E. coli pollution. A US Foods spokesperson said that the wholesale company is not a supplier to McDonald’s. 4. Where is the passage taken from? A. A report. B. A novel. C. A brochure. D. An encyclopedia. 5. What caused the E. coli outbreak? A. Eating McDonald’s hamburgers. B. The bad food service of some states. C. The pollution from the Taylor Farms. D. Eating fresh onions on the McDonald’s hamburgers. 6. Who will most likely get sick after eating the hamburgers? A. The young consumers. B. The supplier to McDonald’s. C. People with health problems. D. Major food service distributors. 7. What’s the best title of the text? A. McDonald’s Hamburgers. B. A Food Poisoning Event. C. The Source of Poisoning Food. D. The Spread Disease. C Muhammad Ali was an all-time great boxer and entertainer. He was a three-time world heavyweight champion, an Olympic gold medallist, and as masterful approaching a microphone as he was in the stadium. Later in life, he was made a United Nations Messenger of Peace, and awarded the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom. He’s widely celebrated today, but that wasn’t always true during his boxing career. Ali was a confident, capable, black Muslim athlete who was unafraid to speak his mind and stand up for his ideals. That made him very unpopular with a lot of people in 1960s America. Ali once said, “I am America. I am the part you won’t recognize. But get used to me. Black; confident; cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own. Get used to me.” Born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1942, he changed his name when he became a Muslim. He explained that “Cassius Clay is a slave name. I didn’t choose it, and I don’t want it. I am Muhammad Ali, a free name— it means beloved of God, and I insist that people use it when people speak to me and of me.” In 1966, Ali was at the height of his success as a boxer. At the same time, the US was fighting a war in Vietnam. The government was drafting (选拔) young men to fight, which meant they had to join the Armed Forces when called. Refusing without an officially allowed reason was illegal. Ali was drafted, but refused anyway. He said he wouldn’t fight in Vietnam because it was against his religion and because black people in America were still “treated like dogs and denied simple human rights.” Most Americans supported the Vietnam War at that time, and some thought Ali was a traitor (叛国者). TV host David Susskind called him “a disgrace (耻辱) to his country, his race, and what he laughingly describes as his profession.” Ali was stripped of his heavyweight title, disqualified from fighting, and given a $10,000 fine and a prison sentence. But to many, he was a hero. Civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton said, “he knew he was going to jail and did it anyway. That’s another level of leadership and sacrifice.” 8. What made Ali disliked by many people in his boxing career? A. He became an entertainer. B. He couldn’t speak his mind. C. He was a black Muslim athlete. D. He didn’t get used to his part. 9. Why did he change his name? A. Because he became a Muslim. B. Because Muhammad Ali was a free name. C. Because he was a successful boxer. D. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky. 10. Which of the following statement is true? A. Ali used to be a prisoner. B. Ali used to fight in Vietnam War. C. Ali used to be the United States President. D. Ali was thought as a hero by David Susskind. 11. What is the attitude to Ali from Reverend Al Sharpton? A. Opposing. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Supportive. D Some believe that a person’s life and destiny can be read in the lines of his palm (手掌). But what if we told you there is an easier way for people to get to know themselves? Just look at your thumbs, and you’ll see. The size of your thumb reveals a lot about you. Whether it’s big or small, long or short, you can still learn a thing or two about yourself by taking a closer look at this unique body part. Types of thumbs. People can be divided into three distinct groups based on their thumb types. Let us call the different Thumb types A, B, and C. Thumb A. People with a larger-than-average top half on their thumbs tend to be more deeply in love with their partners. They are thought to be more faithful in their relationships. People with this type of thumb will always choose their relationship over anything else in life — nothing matters more than their career, hobbies, and their partner. Thumb B. Do the two halves of your thumbs match in size? In that case, people say you are calm and collected when it comes to relationships. You don’t let your emotions get out of control! You set goals and achieve them. You are a reasonable person. This also means you do not fall in love easily. Thumb C. If the bottom half of your thumb is longer than the top, you are an extremely reliable and trustworthy person. You tend to think things through before acting on them. When you finally let someone into your life and share everything with that person — good times, bad times, every part of yourself — there is a high probability that they are the one for you. 12. How are the three types of thumbs divided? A. By the size of the two halves of the thumb. B. By the length of the thumb. C. By the function of the thumb. D. By the lines of the palm. 13.

At first glance, it could look like damage. After all, why would anyone paint the trunks of trees white? ___16___ And while it has been around for ages, people are still confused by this strange yet interesting phenomenon. Generally speaking, the purpose of whitewashing is to protect the tree from heat and insects. ___17___ Let’s check them out! Sun burnt. You might sometimes notice that some chunks of a tree’s bark buckle and look as if they are about to fall. In gardening terms, that process is called Winter Sun Scald or Southwest Injury and usually occurs during the tree’s beginning growth. But what causes this phenomenon? Simply put, Sun Scald happens in areas such as New Mexico, where there is intense (强烈的) sun exposure, and the temperatures vary wildly between day and night.___18___ In other words, once you whitewash your young trees, their trunks’ surfaces won’t get dry and cracked as easily anymore. Heat protection. ___19___ Why? Because white paint acts as a protector that reflects the heat and allows the tree to spend more time on transpiration (蒸腾作用) and growing their fruits. Additionally, when trees are cooler, they have less stress, which makes their stomata (气孔) stay open a bit longer for the exchange of gases. That’s extremely important because the more carbon dioxide the trees take in, the more energy they create. ___20___ More often than not, a tree’s bark will crack, allowing insects to creep inside. Once that happens, bacteria will feed on the tree's inner body, preventing its growth and eventually killing it. As a result, whitewashing mixtures contain three parts water and one part interior latex paint (室内乳胶). The paint itself prevents insects from crawling up the tree and entering inside through the cracks. A. Illness and pests. B. Tree’s recovery. C. People whitewash trees for a variety of reasons. D. Fortunately, painting a tree’s trunk white is similar to adding sunscreen. E. Yet, whitewashing is anything but that, as it is actually pretty important! F. Painting the base of a young tree will also help it remain cool in the spring. G. However, depending on the area, there are many other reasons for whitewashing the trees. 第二部分 语言运用（共四节，满分55分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During her second year, Liu Fang, a student from Taiwan studying at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in Wuhan, Hubei, made a significant decision: she ___21___ her major from math to journalism.
