Leave them where they are unless you have learned the first aid. Third, put on some signs to remind other drivers of the accidents to avoid any further accidents.

And I will give you 40 years to live.” The cow objected, “What? You want me to live such a tough life for 40 years? Let me have 20 years, and I’ll give the rest back to you.” So God agreed. On the second day, God created the dog and said, “You’ll be man’s best friend, guarding his house and eating his leftovers. I’ll give you a life span of 30 years.” The dog shook his head. “Eating leftovers for 30 years? No way! I’ll give half back to you!” So God agreed. Then, God created the monkey, saying, “Your job is to entertain people. You’ve got to do monkey tricks and make them laugh. And you’ll live 20 years.”“Do monkey tricks to make them laugh? 10 years will do.” the monkey said. So God agreed. Finally, God created the man. “You will be the man. All you need to do is to sleep, eat, and play, simply enjoying your life. And I’ll give you 20 years to live.” Thinking for a while, the man replied, “I can be the man, but I want to take all the years that the cow, the dog and the monkey didn’t want.” So God agreed. Since then, man eats, sleeps and plays in the first 2 decades, marries and spends the next 2 decades like a cow, working very hard to support his family. Then when he has children, he lives 15 years like a dog, taking care of the house and eating whatever is given to him. And when he is old, he retires and lives 10 years like a monkey, doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren. 24. The cow refused God because he ________. A. wanted to take the monkey’s job B. thought 40 years was too much C. hoped God could rethink about his offer D. disliked the life God arranged for him 25. We can know from the dog’s words that ________. A. he was very lazy B. he liked leftovers C. he could live for 15 years D. he hated to be man’s friend 26.

Let me have 20 years, and I’ll give the rest back to you.可知，牛不喜欢上帝为他安排的生活，要辛苦工作40年，因此拒绝了上帝四十年的寿命，故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句Eating leftovers for 30 years? No way! I’ll give half back to you!可知，狗要求归还上帝一半的寿命，因此狗的寿命为15年，故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段倒数第二句I can be the man, but I want to take all the years that the cow, the dog and the monkey didn’t want.可知，人有了牛、狗和猴子不想要的寿命，以及上帝给予人类的20年寿命，即人的寿命为20+15+10+20=65年寿命，故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。本文通过上帝和动物们、人之间的对话来叙说一则寓言故事，整个文章的语气是轻松的，故选A。 C John Montefiore's path to graduation from the University of Toronto was a little unusual. He recently completed his bachelor's degree(学士学位) which he started in1995. Montefiore left university in 1996 and tried to tell himself that a degree wasn't necessary for personal success. But it remained unfinished business until he made the decision to return in 2018 at the age 42. At that time, his job development stalled, so he made up his mind to go back to school in order to improve himself and work well in future. The second time around, Montefiore never missed a class and always sat in the front row. He found many courses invaluable and he received the Award of Excellence twice. He found support services played an important role in his successful return. He said, “I hadn't written a paper for years, so I found the college writing centre to be of great use. Before I handed in a paper, they would give me feedback, which was really great. The university has so much built in to help students succeed and I'm so thankful for that.” But he also met difficulties this time. As a student much older than others, he found it harder to make friends with classmates. However, no matter what had happened before, he finally got his bachelor's degree. He said, “After all these years, I had thought it wouldn't mean anything, but it means a lot. I totally understand the value of education now. It's not necessarily the value that other people see in it, but the value it gives me as a person, for my confidence and my self-esteem. It also helps me prepare well before I re-enter the workplace.” 28. Why was Montefiore's graduation unusual? A. He had achieved personal success before. B. He understood the importance of a degree. C. He finished his degree at a much older age. D. He began his university study at a young age. 29. What does the underlined word "stalled" in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Stopped. B. Started. C. Survived. D. Succeeded. 30. What can we learn about Montefiore from the third paragraph? A. He got good grades very easily. B. He took his study seriously this time C. He was thankful for his classmates' help D. He had difficulty using support services. 31. What did Montefiore learn from his experience? A. Confidence is important in one's life. B. Others' opinions on education matter a lot. C. Higher education is a must for personal success. D. Education makes one feel better about himself. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了已经工作多年的Montefiore重返大学后，不仅继续修完本科课程，更意识到了教育的无穷价值。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Montefiore 1eft university in 1996 and tried to tell himself that a degree wasn't necessary for personal success. But it remained unfinished business until he made the decision to return in 2018 at the age 42 At that time, his job development stalled, so he made up his mind to go back to school in order to improve himself and work well in future.(1996年，Montefiores 大学毕业，他试图告诉自己，个人成功不需要学位。但这件事一直没有完成，直到他在2018年42岁的时候做出了回国的决定。当时，他的工作发展停滞不前，所以他下定决心要回到学校，以提高自己，并在未来好好工作)”可知，Montefiore 42岁时重返学校学习，他在这把年纪上学有些不同寻常。故选C项。 29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词后面的“in order to improve himself and work well in future(为了提高自己，将来好好工作)”可知，Montefiore重返校园是想继续提升自己，以后可以工作得更好。由此可以推知，之前Montefiore的工作发展停滞（stop）。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The second time around, Montefiore never missed a class and always sat in the front row. He found many courses invaluable and he received the Award of Excellence twice. He found support services played an important role in his successful return.（第二次，Montefiores从不缺课，总是坐在前排划船。他发现许多课程非常宝贵，并两次获得优秀奖。他发现支持服务对他的成功回归起到了重要作用。）”可知，Montefiore没有翘过任何一节课，每次都做在教室前排听讲，还两次获得优秀学生奖。由此可以推知，他这次对待学习很认真。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“After all these years, I had thought it wouldn't mean anything, but it means a lot. I totally understand the value of education now. lt's not necessarily the value that other people see in it but the value it gives me as a person, for my confidence and my self-esteem. It also helps me prepare well before I re-enter the workplace. (在经历了这么多的磨难之后，我原以为这不会意味着什么，但却意味着很多。我完全理解教育的价值现在。它这不一定是别人从中看到的价值，而是它给了我作为一个人的价值,给了我自信和自尊。这也有助于我在重返职场前做好充分准备。)”中的my confidence and my self-esteem可知，教育不仅给他带来学位证书，方便他找工作，还增加了他的自信和自尊。也就是说这次经历使他明白教育能够让人对自己更满意。故选D项。 D As people get older, the types and numbers of friends they have tend to change. As young adults, humans have large groups of friends. With age, they often prefer to spend their time with just a few close, positive individuals. Researchers long believed that this aging attraction toward meaningful relationships was unique to humans, but a new study finds that chimps (大猩猩) also have similar tendencies. Rosati and her colleagues used 78,000 hours of observations made over 20 years from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project in Uganda. The data looked at the social interactions of 21 male chimps between 15 and 58 years old. The researchers only studied male chimps because they show stronger social bonds and have more social interactions than female chimps. Researchers found that wild chimpanzees share a similar pattern of social aging with humans. Rosati says, “They prefer strong, mutual social bonds and interact with others in more positive ways as they get older.” The older chimpanzees preferred spending more time with chimps that they had become friends with over the years. They would sit close to these long-time companions and groom (梳毛) each other. By contrast, younger chimps had more one-sided relationships where they would groom a friend, but the action wasn’t returned. Older male chimps were also more likely to spend more time alone. The researchers said that they showed a shift from negative interactions to more positive ones, preferring to spend their later years in nonconfrontational (非对抗性的), positive relationships. Researchers call the preference a “positivity bias”. Researchers theorize that chimps, like humans, are able to change their social focus as they age. “We propose that this aging pattern may be the result of shared changes in our abilities to regulate our emotions with age,” Rosati says. “This shared pattern between chimpanzees and humans could represent an adaptive response where older adults focus on important social relationships that provide benefits and avoid interactions that have negative consequences as they lose competitive fighting ability.” 32. What does the new study find about chimps? A. Male chimps show more interactions than females. B. Old chimps don’t care about friends as much as young ones. C. Chimps concentrate more on meaningful relations with age. D. Chimps share aging problems similar to human beings. 33. How did Rosati and her colleagues conduct their research? A. By studying the data provided by other researchers. B. By making scientific investigations and observations. C. By setting up models on the computer in the lab. D. By monitoring both the humans’ and chimps’ behavior. 34. What do researchers think causes this aging attraction to meaningful relationships? A. Inability to regulate emotions. B. Eagerness to build closer relationships. C. Loss of competitiveness in strength. D. Failure to adapt to the changeable nature. 35. Where does this text probably come from? A. A short story collection. B. A popular science magazine. C. A graduate research paper. D. A biology textbook. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章从较为专业的角度介绍了黑猩猩和人类的相似性，即在年岁渐老时，他们都会选择积极且更有意义的社交关系。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段尤其最后一句“Researchers long believed that this aging attraction toward meaningful relationships was unique to humans, but a new study finds that chimps (大猩猩) also have similar tendencies.(长期以来，研究人员一直认为，这种对有意义关系的吸引力是人类独有的，但一项新的研究发现，黑猩猩也有类似的倾向)”以及最后一段中“Researchers theorize that chimps, like humans, are able to change their social focus as they age.(研究人员推断，黑猩猩和人类一样，能够随着年龄的增长而改变他们的社会焦点)”可知，当人类渐渐老去时，在社交中会倾向于更为积极的关系，黑猩猩也有相似的趋势。由此可推知，随着年龄的增长，黑猩猩会更专注于有意义的关系。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段内容尤其第一句“Rosati and her colleagues used 78,000 hours of observations made over 20 years from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project in Uganda.(Rosati和她的同事们从乌干达的Kibale黑猩猩项目中进行了长达20多年的7.8万小时的观察)”可推知，Rosati和她的同事们是通过科学调查和观察黑猩猩来进行研究的。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“This shared pattern between chimpanzees and humans could represent an adaptive response where older adults focus on important social relationships that provide benefits and avoid interactions that have negative consequences as they lose competitive fighting ability.(黑猩猩和人类之间的这种共同模式可能代表了一种适应性反应，即老年人注重能带来好处的重要社会关系，避免有负面后果的互动，因为他们失去了竞争和战斗能力)”可推知，他们这样选择的原因是他们在力量上失去了竞争力。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中“Researchers theorize that chimps, like humans, are able to change their social focus as they age.(研究人员推断，黑猩猩和人类一样，能够随着年龄的增长而改变他们的社会焦点)”可知，本文从较为专业的角度介绍了黑猩猩和人类的相似性，即在年岁渐老时，他们都会选择积极且更有意义的社交关系，所以本文应来自大众科学杂志。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Maximize Space in a Dorm Room Most dorm(宿舍) rooms are really small.

He lived happily in a beautiful family. His children grew up and moved to different cities in pursue of good career and future. He lived in a small village carrying the memories of his deceased wife. Joe had four grandchildren. They used to visit him during their holidays. It was now their vacation time and Joe was eagerly waiting for their arrival. He prepared his home for the kids, cleaning the house, mowing the garden, and buying their favourite foods and dresses. In the busy arrangements, he lost his watch. The watch was gifted by his dead wife when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch. After his wife’s death, it became his sole companion with its ‘tick, tick’ sound throughout the silent night. He was happy with the kids at home. He forgot the watch missing. It was only the next day when he was about to take bath, he remembered the watch was lost. He saw it last when he was arranging things in the barn. He was very upset. His grandchildren asked him why he was so dull and what troubled him. Joe said, “Dear children! I lost the most precious watch I have ever had and ever got in my life. It was a gift from your grandma. I lost it while cleaning the house! I feel like I’m missing my heart.” The children tried to comfort him. One granddaughter asked, “Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last time before it was missing?” Joe said, “I guess when I was cleaning the barn!” The children rushed to the barn to search for the watch. The barn was full of waste materials. They searched for more than two hours with the help of Joe, but could not find it. Joe was completely lost, and he asked the children to stop searching. 注意：1. 续写的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 All went out disappointedly, except Ted, who sat there in silence. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They were surprised and asked how he was able to find it. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: All went out disappointedly, except Ted, who sat there in silence. He went back to the barn to search again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time. And the other children were also curious about Ted’s going. But the little boy just asked the others not to follow him and to remain silent. All the children kept silent as they were told. Ted was there for about fifteen minutes and then he rushed to his grandfather, holding the watch in his hand. To everyone’s surprise, Ted had found the watch. He gave it to Joe, which made Joe extremely delighted. Paragraph 2: They were surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy replied: “I sat there without making any noise, and the barn was so silent. After a few minutes, I heard the ‘tick, tick’ sound and found the watch.” Joe hugged and thanked the little boy. This is the power of silence. If we stay calm when facing difficulty, we are more able to find the solution! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Joe为了迎接孙子们的到来打扫房子，在打扫谷仓的时候弄掉了已故妻子送的手表，这让Joe很不高兴，孙子们看见爷爷不高兴就提出要帮爷爷找手表，结果都没找到，Joe很失落，让孩子们不要再找了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“大家都失望地走了出去，只有Ted一个人坐在那里，一言不发”可知，第一段可描写Ted找到了手表并交给了爷爷以及众人的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们很惊讶，问他是怎么找到的”可知，第二段可描写Ted解释自己是如何找到手表的。 2.续写线索：Joe再次进入谷仓——找到手表——解释——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回去：go back to/return to ②拿着：hold/grasp ③回答：reply/answer 情绪类 ①高兴：delighted/glad ②冷静：stay calm/keep one’s hair on 【点睛】[高分句型1] He gave it to Joe, which made Joe extremely delighted.

And I will give you 40 years to live.” The cow objected, “What? You want me to live such a tough life for 40 years? Let me have 20 years, and I’ll give the rest back to you.” So God agreed. On the second day, God created the dog and said, “You’ll be man’s best friend, guarding his house and eating his leftovers. I’ll give you a life span of 30 years.” The dog shook his head. “Eating leftovers for 30 years? No way! I’ll give half back to you!” So God agreed. Then God created the monkey, saying, “Your job is to entertain people. You’ve got to do monkey tricks and make them laugh. And you’ll live 20 years.”“Do monkey tricks to make them laugh? 10 years will do.” the monkey said. So God agreed. Finally, God created the man. “You will be the man. All you need to do is to sleep, eat, and play, simply enjoying your life. And I’ll give you 20 years to live.” Thinking for a while, the man replied, “I can be the man, but I want to take all the years that the cow, the dog and the monkey didn’t want.” So God agreed. Since then, man eats, sleeps and plays in the first 2 decades, marries and spends the next 2 decades like a cow, working very hard to support his family. Then when he has children, he lives 15 years like a dog, taking care of the house and eating whatever is given to him. And when he is old, he retires and lives 10 years like a monkey, doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren. 24. The cow refused God because he ________. A. wanted to take the monkey’s job B. thought 40 years was too much C. hoped God could rethink about his offer D. disliked the life God arranged for him 25. We can know from the dog’s words that ________. A. he was very lazy B. he liked leftovers C. he could live for 15 years D. he hated to be man’s friend 26. How long would the man live according to the passage? A. 20 years. B. 65 years. C. 27 years. D. 90 years. 27. The tone of the passage is ________. A. light B. objective C. serious D. critical C John Montefiore's path to graduation from the University of Toronto was a little unusual. He recently completed his bachelor's degree(学士学位) which he started in1995. Montefiore left university in 1996 and tried to tell himself that a degree wasn't necessary for personal success. But it remained unfinished business until he made the decision to return in 2018 at the age 42. At that time, his job development stalled, so he made up his mind to go back to school in order to improve himself and work well in future. The second time around, Montefiore never missed a class and always sat in the front row. He found many courses invaluable and he received the Award of Excellence twice. He found support services played an important role in his successful return. He said, “I hadn't written a paper for years, so I found the college writing centre to be of great use. Before I handed in a paper, they would give me feedback, which was really great. The university has so much built in to help students succeed and I'm so thankful for that.” But he also met difficulties this time.

D As people get older, the types and numbers of friends they have tend to change. As young adults, humans have large groups of friends. With age, they often prefer to spend their time with just a few close, positive individuals. Researchers long believed that this aging attraction toward meaningful relationships was unique to humans, but a new study finds that chimps (大猩猩) also have similar tendencies. Rosati and her colleagues used 78,000 hours of observations made over 20 years from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project in Uganda. The data looked at the social interactions of 21 male chimps between 15 and 58 years old. The researchers only studied male chimps because they show stronger social bonds and have more social interactions than female chimps. Researchers found that wild chimpanzees share a similar pattern of social aging with humans. Rosati says, “They prefer strong, mutual social bonds and interact with others in more positive ways as they get older.” The older chimpanzees preferred spending more time with chimps that they had become friends with over the years. They would sit close to these long-time companions and groom (梳毛) each other. By contrast, younger chimps had more one-sided relationships where they would groom a friend, but the action wasn’t returned. Older male chimps were also more likely to spend more time alone. The researchers said that they showed a shift from negative interactions to more positive ones, preferring to spend their later years in nonconfrontational (非对抗性的), positive relationships. Researchers call the preference a “positivity bias”. Researchers theorize that chimps, like humans, are able to change their social focus as they age. “We propose that this aging pattern may be the result of shared changes in our abilities to regulate our emotions with age,” Rosati says. “This shared pattern between chimpanzees and humans could represent an adaptive response where older adults focus on important social relationships that provide benefits and avoid interactions that have negative consequences as they lose competitive fighting ability.” 32. What does the new study find about chimps? A. Male chimps show more interactions than females. B. Old chimps don’t care about friends as much as young ones. C. Chimps concentrate more on meaningful relations with age. D. Chimps share aging problems similar to human beings. 33. How did Rosati and her colleagues conduct their research? A. By studying the data provided by other researchers. B. By making scientific investigations and observations. C. By setting up models on the computer in the lab. D. By monitoring both the humans’ and chimps’ behavior. 34. What do researchers think causes this aging attraction to meaningful relationships? A. Inability to regulate emotions. B. Eagerness to build closer relationships. C. Loss of competitiveness in strength. D. Failure to adapt to the changeable nature. 35. Where does this text probably come from? A. A short story collection. B. A popular science magazine. C. A graduate research paper. D. A biology textbook. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Maximize Space in a Dorm Room Most dorm(宿舍) rooms are really small.
