C Dolphins seem to make open-mouthed facial expressions most often while they are visible to a playmate, suggesting such displays may be similar to human smiles. While we often regard these as a smile, there has been little research on facial communication in dolphins. To find out more, Elisabetta Palagi at the University of Pisa, Italy, and her colleagues analyzed the behaviour of 22 bottlenose dolphins at two wildlife parks in Italy and France. In 80 hours of observation, the team noticed a total of 1288 open-mouthed expressions during social play sessions. More than 90 per cent of these events occurred during play between dolphins, with the rest happening during interactions between the dolphins and people. The animals were more likely to assume the open-mouth expression when their face was within the playmate’s field of view-89 per cent were displayed in this context. When the playmate saw the “smile”, they appeared to smile back 33 per cent of the time. Palagi says the study can’t say conclusively whether it is comparable with smiling in humans. “We do not claim to clarify dolphin communication strategies during play with a single piece of research. However, we hope to open a new line of research in which the visual component is also taken into consideration.” Luciana Moller at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, says open-mouthed behaviour in dolphins occurs in a range of contexts, including aggressive and social interactions. This means it is a very versatile (多功能的) signal, so it can’t necessarily be interpreted as a smile. She points out that making sounds might have been a factor in the dolphins opening their mouths, but the study didn’t look at any related recordings. 8. Why does Palagi analyze the dolphins’ behaviour? A. To prove humans’ assumptions. B. To explore how dolphins kill time. C. To study dolphins’ facial expressions. D. To find out the facial features of dolphins. 9. According to the data in the text, a dolphin’s open-mouth expression might be . A. a sign of playfulness B. a sense of cooperation C. an intention to take action D. a way to show unhappiness 10. What’s Luciana Moller’s attitude toward the study? A. Optimistic. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Curious. 11. Where can readers most probably read the text? A. In a coursebook. B. In Breaking News online. C. In a science fiction. D. In Nature on a website. D Think back to the last time you wrote down a quick note or made a grocery list. Chances are, it wasn’t with pen and paper. Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines, from classrooms to office meetings. Some schools around the world have even stopped teaching handwriting altogether. Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive (认知的) benefits that digital tools can’t. Through surveys with 205 young adults in the U. S. and Europe, Naomi Susan Baron, professor of linguistics at American University in Washington D. C, found that many students report more focus, steadier concentration, and better memory when producing a text by holding a writing instrument rather than pressing keys on a keyboard. Adults also benefit from the labor-intensive nature of handwriting. A study involving 42 adults learning Arabic found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them, had an easier time naming them, and. were better at sounding the newly learned letters out compared with people who were asked to learn the new characters by typing them. To better understand how our senses influence our cognition, we can think of our brain as a road system, says Audrey van der Meer, a professor of neuropsychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Brain networks in children are like faint and winding paths in a forest, she says. With practice and experience, these paths can become motorways that connect different parts of the brain to transport information fast and efficiently. Researchers are encouraging the drills of handwriting skills. In Norway, many schools stopped teaching hand writing, instead guiding pupils to write and read on an iPad, a trend Audrey van der Meer hopes to change through her research. 12. What does the author want to emphasize in the first paragraph? A. Dull routines in daily life. B. Effects of science and technology. C. Ignorance of handwriting. D. Replacement of school equipment. 13. How does the author draw the conclusion? A. By giving examples. B. By conducting surveys. C. By making remarks. D. By analyzing causes. 14 Which of the following might Audrey van der Meer agree with? A. Rebuilding road systems. B. Weighing the risks of iPads. C. Improving cognitive efficiency. D. Promoting the use of handwriting. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of handwriting in digital age. B. The potential for assessing modern technology. C. The situations researchers are concerned about. D. The comparisons of handwriting and digital devices. 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。 Group Running Keeps Your Running on Track Running with people can be more fun and, beyond that, connects runners to wider communities.

My father had died five years earlier. Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on social assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were secondhand, we thought they were beautiful. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through. Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because the bottoms were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have French toast ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those days, and it didn’t look like we’d be in our current house much longer. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted (驱逐) right after Christmas on the first of January. The holidays were fast approaching, and we received 25 dollars for Christmas from social services. It was four days before Christmas. Mum said that instead of buying food, she was going to use the money to pay our rent. That way we’d have a roof over our heads for a little while longer. Then she told us that there would be no Christmas gifts. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots— boots with no cardboard at the bottom. They were ten-inch, Top-Genuine, Pierre Paris boots, and they cost 23 dollars. The big day for getting my boots came on the afternoon of the day of Christmas Eve. I was very excited as I hurried up the road to catch the bus into town. It was only a half-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized that at our house, we had no lights, no decorations and no money for Christmas goodies. I also knew we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas dinner. But at least there would be French toast. 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。 As I continued walking, I began to feel a strange sense of guilt. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1~5 CACAB 6~10 CABAC 11~15 AABCA 16~20 BCAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $$ 英语(四)试卷 注意事项: 1. 答题前,考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上,写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

While we often regard these as a smile, there has been little research on facial communication in dolphins. To find out more, Elisabetta Palagi at the University of Pisa, Italy, and her colleagues analyzed the behaviour of 22 bottlenose dolphins at two wildlife parks in Italy and France. In 80 hours of observation, the team noticed a total of 1288 open-mouthed expressions during social play sessions. More than 90 per cent of these events occurred during play between dolphins, with the rest happening during interactions between the dolphins and people. The animals were more likely to assume the open-mouth expression when their face was within the playmate’s field of view-89 per cent were displayed in this context. When the playmate saw the “smile”, they appeared to smile back 33 per cent of the time. Palagi says the study can’t say conclusively whether it is comparable with smiling in humans. “We do not claim to clarify dolphin communication strategies during play with a single piece of research. However, we hope to open a new line of research in which the visual component is also taken into consideration.” Luciana Moller at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, says open-mouthed behaviour in dolphins occurs in a range of contexts, including aggressive and social interactions. This means it is a very versatile (多功能的) signal, so it can’t necessarily be interpreted as a smile. She points out that making sounds might have been a factor in the dolphins opening their mouths, but the study didn’t look at any related recordings. 8. Why does Palagi analyze the dolphins’ behaviour? A. To prove humans’ assumptions. B. To explore how dolphins kill time. C. To study dolphins’ facial expressions. D. To find out the facial features of dolphins. 9. According to the data in the text, a dolphin’s open-mouth expression might be . A. a sign of playfulness B. a sense of cooperation C. an intention to take action D. a way to show unhappiness 10. What’s Luciana Moller’s attitude toward the study? A. Optimistic. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Curious. 11. Where can readers most probably read the text? A. In a coursebook. B. In Breaking News online. C. In a science fiction. D. In Nature on a website. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11.

(虽然我们通常认为这是微笑,但很少有关于海豚面部交流的研究)”以及第三段“To find out more, Elisabetta Palagi at the University of Pisa, Italy, and her colleagues analyzed the behaviour of 22 bottlenose dolphins at two wildlife parks in Italy and France. (为了找到更多的答案,意大利比萨大学的Elisabetta Palagi和她的同事们分析了意大利和法国两个野生动物园里22只宽吻海豚的行为)”可知,Palagi分析海豚的行为是为了研究海豚的面部表情。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The animals were more likely to assume the open-mouth expression when their face was within the playmate’s field of view-89 per cent were displayed in this context. When the playmate saw the “smile”, they appeared to smile back 33 per cent of the time. (当动物的脸在玩伴的视野范围内时,它们更有可能做出张着嘴的表情——89%的动物是在这种情况下出现的。当玩伴看到“微笑”时,他们有33%的几率会对你报以微笑)”可知,海豚张开嘴的表情可能是一个玩耍的标志。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“Luciana Moller at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, says open-mouthed behaviour in dolphins occurs in a range of contexts, including aggressive and social interactions. This means it is a very versatile signal, so it can’t necessarily be interpreted as a smile. (澳大利亚阿德莱德弗林德斯大学的Luciana Moller说,海豚张开嘴的行为发生在一系列环境中,包括攻击性和社会互动。这意味着它是一个非常通用的信号,所以它不一定被解释为微笑)”以及最后一段“She points out that making sounds might have been a factor in the dolphins opening their mouths, but the study didn’t look at any related recordings. (她指出,发出声音可能是海豚张嘴的一个因素,但这项研究没有研究任何相关的录音)”可知,Luciana Moller指出这项研究的不足,所以态度是客观的。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To find out more, Elisabetta Palagi at the University of Pisa, Italy, and her colleagues analyzed the behaviour of 22 bottlenose dolphins at two wildlife parks in Italy and France. (为了找到更多的答案,意大利比萨大学的elisisabetta Palagi和她的同事们分析了意大利和法国两个野生动物园里22只宽吻海豚的行为)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要介绍了一项关于海豚张嘴“微笑”的表情的研究,所以有可能来自《自然》杂志的网站上。故选D项。 D Think back to the last time you wrote down a quick note or made a grocery list. Chances are, it wasn’t with pen and paper. Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines, from classrooms to office meetings. Some schools around the world have even stopped teaching handwriting altogether. Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive (认知的) benefits that digital tools can’t. Through surveys with 205 young adults in the U. S. and Europe, Naomi Susan Baron, professor of linguistics at American University in Washington D. C, found that many students report more focus, steadier concentration, and better memory when producing a text by holding a writing instrument rather than pressing keys on a keyboard. Adults also benefit from the labor-intensive nature of handwriting. A study involving 42 adults learning Arabic found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them, had an easier time naming them, and. were better at sounding the newly learned letters out compared with people who were asked to learn the new characters by typing them. To better understand how our senses influence our cognition, we can think of our brain as a road system, says Audrey van der Meer, a professor of neuropsychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Brain networks in children are like faint and winding paths in a forest, she says. With practice and experience, these paths can become motorways that connect different parts of the brain to transport information fast and efficiently. Researchers are encouraging the drills of handwriting skills. In Norway, many schools stopped teaching hand writing, instead guiding pupils to write and read on an iPad, a trend Audrey van der Meer hopes to change through her research. 12. What does the author want to emphasize in the first paragraph? A. Dull routines in daily life. B. Effects of science and technology. C. Ignorance of handwriting. D. Replacement of school equipment. 13 How does the author draw the conclusion? A. By giving examples. B. By conducting surveys. C. By making remarks. D. By analyzing causes. 14. Which of the following might Audrey van der Meer agree with? A. Rebuilding road systems. B. Weighing the risks of iPads. C. Improving cognitive efficiency. D. Promoting the use of handwriting. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of handwriting in digital age. B. The potential for assessing modern technology. C. The situations researchers are concerned about. D. The comparisons of handwriting and digital devices. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手写在现代社会中仍然具有的重要性,研究表明手写能够带来数字工具无法复制的认知益处。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Think back to the last time you wrote down a quick note or made a grocery list. Chances are, it wasn’t with pen and paper. Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines, from classrooms to office meetings. Some schools around the world have even stopped teaching handwriting altogether.(回想一下你最近一次快速写下便条或列购物清单的情景。很可能不是用纸和笔写的。在过去的十年里,从教室到办公室会议,键盘和屏幕已经悄悄地取代了我们日常生活中的手写。世界各地的一些学校甚至完全停止了手写教学)”可知,本段主要强调了对手写的忽视。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Through surveys with 205 young adults in the U. S. and Europe, Naomi Susan Baron, professor of linguistics at American University in Washington D.

But technology can help. In his latest book, “The Practice of Groundedness,” Stulberg, an exercise coach and author of books about performance and personal development, has a section on “deep community,” which he defines as a sense of belonging. Even if you rely on a virtual community, there are benefits to running with people at least occasionally. “If you can find the right in-person group, it’s better than a virtual group,” Stulberg said, but he added that virtual groups can also be great options. “___20___ .” A. Both can be true B. Do workouts with a group C. Find a virtual running group D. When you fail, there’s a safety net E. Here are some suggestions to keep in mind F.

If you haven’t found a running club yet, ask at a local running store. (俱乐部是寻找跑步伙伴最简单的方法之一,尽管在一些人口较少的地区可能很难找到。如果你还没有找到一个跑步俱乐部,问问当地的跑步商店)”可知,F项“Employees there may give you a satisfactory answer (那里的员工可能会给你一个满意的答案)”承接上文,符合文意。故选F项。 【18题详解】 位于段首,是本段中心句,根据后文“If you have friends who run, see if you can find a time and place to meet up. You can also post on the social media for your community to see if others are looking for running companions. Or, if you regularly run a certain route, watch for other regulars and groups who are running there. (如果你有跑步的朋友,看看能不能找个时间和地点见面。你也可以在社区的社交媒体上发帖,看看其他人是否在寻找跑步伙伴。或者,如果你经常跑某条路线,注意其他的在那里跑步的常客和团体)”可知,本段讲述寻找其他跑步者一起跑步,所以G项“Running with people doesn’t need to be through an official group (和人一起跑步不需要通过官方组织)”符合本段主题,为本段中心句。故选G项。 【19题详解】 设空为本段小标题,根据后文“Still, for people in less populated areas or who have unusual schedules, running with others might be difficult. (不过,对于居住在人口较少地区或有不同寻常日程安排的人来说,与其他人一起跑步可能会很困难)”以及“Even if you rely on a virtual community, there are benefits to running with people at least occasionally. (即使你依赖于一个虚拟社区,至少偶尔和别人一起跑步也是有好处的)”可知,本段讲述对于居住在人口较少地区或有不同寻常日程安排的人来说,可以通过虚拟社区来和别人一起跑步。C项“Find a virtual running group (找到一个虚拟跑步组)”符合题意。故选C项。 【20题详解】 空处位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文““If you can find the right in-person group, it’s better than a virtual group,” Stulberg said, but he added that virtual groups can also be great options.(斯图尔伯格说:“如果你能找到合适的面对面小组,那比虚拟小组更好。”但他补充说,虚拟小组也可以是很好的选择)”可知,不管是找到合适的面对面小组还是虚拟小组,斯图尔伯格认为都好,所以A项“Both can be true (两者都是好的)”符合文意。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Kate and David heard the words every parent fears: Their ___21___ wasn’t going to make it.

My father had died five years earlier. Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on social assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were secondhand, we thought they were beautiful. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through. Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because the bottoms were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have French toast ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those days, and it didn’t look like we’d be in our current house much longer. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted (驱逐) right after Christmas on the first of January. The holidays were fast approaching, and we received 25 dollars for Christmas from social services. It was four days before Christmas. Mum said that instead of buying food, she was going to use the money to pay our rent. That way we’d have a roof over our heads for a little while longer. Then she told us that there would be no Christmas gifts. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots— boots with no cardboard at the bottom. They were ten-inch, Top-Genuine, Pierre Paris boots, and they cost 23 dollars. The big day for getting my boots came on the afternoon of the day of Christmas Eve. I was very excited as I hurried up the road to catch the bus into town. It was only a half-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized that at our house, we had no lights, no decorations and no money for Christmas goodies. I also knew we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas dinner. But at least there would be French toast. 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。 As I continued walking, I began to feel a strange sense of guilt. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A possible version As I continued walking, I began to feel a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots, while Mum was probably home in tears, thinking of ways to explain why there were no presents. As I arrived at the stop, the bus came and the door opened. I stood there for what seemed an eternity, until eventually the driver asked, “Are you getting on this bus or not?” I finally blurted out, “No thanks, sir. I’ve changed my mind.” The bus drove off without me, and I stood alone in a daze, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. My mind was made up, and I realized what I had to do. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. Into the store I went, brimming with happiness and excitement. I spent every cent of my hard-earned money, buying a turkey, ham and all the Christmas decorations. Once I had all those groceries piled on our porch, I knocked on the door. When Mum opened the door, she just stood there, dumbfounded. Holding back the tears, I exclaimed, “Merry Christmas, Mother!” That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum to last two lifetimes. To see my mother’s prayers answered more than made up for the boots I never got. It was a Merry Christmas for us after all! 【解析】 【导语】本文以家庭和节日为线索展开,讲述了在一个寒冷的冬天,家庭因父亲去世五年而陷入困境,母亲独自艰难抚养孩子,依靠社会援助。圣诞节将至,母亲用社会服务给的25美元支付房租,而非购买食物,告诉孩子们不会有圣诞礼物。孩子们默默攒钱,希望买新靴子,却发现家中没有节日装饰和食物。 【详解】1. 段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“当我继续走的时候,我开始有一种奇怪的负罪感。”可知,第一段可描写作者在看到别人家装饰和准备节日的同时,感到羞愧和内疚,因为他意识到自己家庭的困境和缺乏节日气氛。 ②由第二段首句内容“公共汽车站对面是一家大杂货店。”可知,第二段可描写作者用自己辛苦赚来的钱为家里购买了圣诞装饰和食物,带给家人一个惊喜。 2. 续写线索:感到内疚——决定改变——购买装饰和食物——回家——家人的反应——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①购买:buy/purchase ②意识到:realize/be aware of ③呼喊:exclaim/shout out 情绪类 ①兴奋:excitement/thrill ②快乐:happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1]Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots, while Mum was probably home in tears, thinking of ways to explain why there were no presents.(运用了why引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]When Mum opened the door, she just stood there, dumbfounded.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 听力1~5 CACAB 6~10 CABAC 11~15 AABCA 16~20 BCAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $$
