No problems for the first few stops—a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well. At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” and sat down at the back. The driver was five feet three, thin, and basically mild-mannered. Naturally, he didn’t argue with Big John, but he wasn’t happy about it. The next day the same thing happened—Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth. This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong—what’s more, felt really good about himself. So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” the driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed, “Oh, yeah? And why not?” With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, “Big John has a bus pass.” 24. What did Big John do repeatedly? A. He took advantage of the bus driver. B. He didn’t pay for the bus ticket. C. He argued with the bus driver. D. He signed up for body building courses. 25. The underlined phrase in the fourth paragraph means “_____”. A. Pleased B. Interested C. Bored D. Annoyed 26. Why did Big John not pay for the bus ticket? A. He had the ticket to ride the bus. B. He was strong enough. C. He forgot paying the ticket. D. He wanted to take the bus for free. 27. What can be learned from the passage? A. It is never too late to believe in yourself. B. Nothing can prevent a person from achieving his goal. C. Be sure there is a problem firstly before working hard to solve one. D. It is better to set a goal firstly if you want to succeed. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是Big John坐公交车从来不付钱，这惹恼了司机，司机再也无法忍受了，他报名参加了健身课程、空手道、柔道等课程，身体变得很强壮，结果Big John说自己有公交月票所以不用付钱。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The next day the same thing happened—Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth.(第二天，同样的事情发生了——Big John又上了车，摆出拒绝付钱的样子，然后坐了下来。还有第二天，还有第三天，如此类推。)”可知，Big John反复地不付车票钱，故选B。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段的“who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer.(他开始因为Big John占他便宜而失眠。最后，他再也无法忍受了。)”可知，Big John不付车票钱这件事让司机生气，划线短语“grated on”的意思是“使恼怒”，和annoy意思相近，故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, “Big John has a bus pass.”(Big John脸上带着惊讶的表情回答说：“Big John有公车月票。”)”可知，Big John不付汽车票是因为他有公车月票，故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong—what’s more, felt really good about himself.(他报名参加了健身课程、空手道、柔道以及所有这些好东西。夏天结束时，他变得相当强壮——更重要的是，他自我感觉非常好。)”和最后一段的“With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, “Big John has a bus pass.”(Big John脸上带着惊讶的表情回答说：“Big John有公车月票。”)”可知，司机以为是自己不够强壮所以Big John才不付车票钱，所以他去锻炼得很强壮，结果表明，Big John不付车钱的原因是他有月票，因此我们从文章里可以了解到在努力解决问题之前，先确认问题的存在。故选C。 C Nightmares, or bad dreams, are terrible. I’ve dreamt about throwing up, animals swallowing me, and someone breaking into my house―all causing me to wake up in the middle of the night, heart racing, anxiety growing out of control. Sometimes, my bad dreams reflect exactly what I’m feeling anxious about. Other times, they’re about something else, but still seemingly caused by my anxiety levels. To find out if anxiety really can cause bad dreams, I went straight to the experts. The experts I spoke with agreed that anxiety could contribute to bad dreams. “Thoughts filled with anxiety while someone is asleep can manifest (显现) themselves as bad dreams or stress dreams,” said Alex Dimitriu, a double board-certified physician in psychiatry and sleep medicine. “Stress dreams, such as missing an important event, a test, or a flight, are often quite common in people undergoing stress during their daily lives.” Although the reasons why we dream are not fully understood, there may be times when your mind is simply trying to work through a challenge from that day — one that can be causing you to feel anxious. “We do know from research that the brain continues to work on solving problems during sleep,” explained Jason Durant, a New York-based licensed clinical psychologist. In that sense, dreaming can actually be a good thing, even if it feels uncomfortable at the time. “The mind is attempting to prompt (促使) you to use the tools you successfully used before when in a similar life situation, or to remind you what did not work and to try something new,” said Nancy Irwin, a clinical psychologist. Anyhow, bad dreams may be the last thing you want. You may not be able to prevent bad dreams completely, but you can focus on managing your anxiety during the day, which may help alleviate (减轻) the problem. Dr. Dimitriu suggests going for a walk, talking to friends and journaling to process your feelings throughout the day. Then, in the evenings, step away from your devices, and take some time to plot out a strategy for dealing with the things that are causing you stress. 28. Why does the author mention his/her experiences of bad dreams? A. To say anxiety is very common. B. To analyze the cause of bad dreams. C To find anxiety levels in a dream. D. To prove bad dreams are unavoidable. 29. What does the word “themselves” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Bad dreams. B. Sleeping people. C. Stressful events. D. Anxious thoughts. 30. How do bad dreams benefit us in Nancy Irwin’s opinion? A. They keep us free of anxiety. B. They help us deal with problems. C. They allow us to recall the past. D. They warn us to remain cautious. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Advice on how to reduce bad dreams. B. Ways to totally prevent dreaming. C. How to relieve anxiety through exercise. D. How to improve sleep quality at night. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。专家指出，人们日常的一些焦虑心理会反映在梦境中，形成噩梦，不过这些梦从某种角度来说对人们还是有一定好处的，文章还给出了减少噩梦的一些建议。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的内容，尤其是“Sometimes, my bad dreams reflect exactly what I’m feeling anxious about. Other times, they’reabout something else, but still seemingly caused by my anxiety levels. To find out if anxicty really can cause bad dreams, I went straight to the experts. (有时候，我的噩梦恰恰反映了我焦虑的事情。其他时候，它们是关于其他事情的，但似乎仍然是由我的焦虑水平引起的。为了弄清楚焦虑是否真的会导致噩梦，我直接去找了专家)”可推断，作者提到自己的噩梦经历是为了分析噩梦产生的原因。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Thoughts filled with anxiety while someone is asleep can manifest (显现) themselves as bad dreams or stress dreams, (当一个人睡着时，充满焦虑的想法会表现为噩梦或有压力的梦)”可推断，画线词themselves指代句中的“Thoughts filled with anxiety”，即Anxious thoughts。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The mind is attempting to prompt (促使) you to use the tools you successfully used before when in a similar life situation,or to remind you what did not work and to try something new (大脑试图促使你用你以前在类似的生活情况下成功使用的工具，或者提醒你什么是无效的，提醒你尝试一些新的东西)”可知，Nancy Irwin认为噩梦中，大脑会给我们信号，联系过去的经历、经验，有助于我们找到解决问题的方法。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读最后一段“Dr. Dimitriu suggests going for a walk, talking to friends and journaling to process your feelings throughout the day. Then, in the evenings, step away from your devices, and take some time to plot out a strategy for dealing with the things that are causing you stress. (Dimitriu博士建议去散步，和朋友聊天，写日记来处理你一天的感受。然后，在晚上，远离你的电子设备，花点时间制定一个策略来处理那些给你带来压力的事情)”可知，最后一段给出了减少噩梦的建议。故选A项。 D Peppered moth caterpillars (桦尺蠖毛虫)live north of the equator. But if you’ve never seen one, don’t feel bad: They’re experts at blending in (融为一体). Each caterpillar looks like the branch it stays on, straightening its body into a stick-like shape. It also changes its color to match the branch’s color, whether white, green or brown. According to a paper published in Communications Biology, the caterpillars sense the color of their surroundings not only with their eyes but also with their skin. Ilik Saccheri, an author of the paper, normally studies the adult moth. This requires keeping a lot of caterpillars around. Years of observation awakened his curiosity about their color-changing abilities. Each caterpillar hatches tiny and black, and in its early days is blown around by the wind. Once it falls on a plant, it must disguise itself to avoid being spotted by birds. “I was a bit disbelieving that they could change that only using their eyes,” Dr. Saccheri said. Amy Eacock, a graduate student in Dr. Saccheri’s lab decided to investigate. First, she tested the caterpillars’ eyes for light-sensitive proteins called opsins (视蛋白). “We did the skin as kind of a negative control,” said Dr. Eacock. “But then we found they were expressed in the skin as highly as they were in the head.” That’s when she suggested blindfolding the caterpillars. The researchers could cover their eyes, place them on different-colored dowels (木钉) , and see if they still changed to match. “I thought it was kind of a crazy idea,” Dr. Saccheri said. The blindfolding itself was a difficult task, involving black paint, a tiny paintbrush, a microscope and lots of patience, Dr. Eacock said. Caterpillars molt (蜕皮) several times over their lives, which required that they be blindfolded again frequently. But Dr. Eacock persisted, eventually testing more than 300 caterpillars. Over and over again, the blindfolded caterpillars successfully changed color to blend in. Many questions remain, but the behavior alone impressed the researchers. Dr. Eacock said, “I remember turning to Ilik one day and saying, ‘You know what? The caterpillars are cooler than the moths.’” “Yes. They’re pretty amazing,” Dr. Saccheri agreed. 32. What can we learn about peppered moth caterpillars? A. They feed on fresh tree branches. B. They can be found easily across the world. C. They can adapt to different environments. D. They change their body color to match living conditions. 33. Which of the following inspired Dr. Eacock to cover the caterpillars’ eyes? A. Caterpillars have a fear of height. B. There are opsins in caterpillars’ skin. C. Caterpillars molt several times in their life. D. There is something strange in caterpillars’ eyes. 34. What did Dr. Saccheri think of Dr. Eacock’s study? A. It was hard to operate. B. It was well designed. C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable. D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise. 35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text? A. To solve a mystery. B. To introduce a new species. C. To present a scientific study. D. To awaken readers’ curiosity. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，桦尺蠖毛虫能够改变自己的颜色从而融入环境保护自己。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It also changes its color to match the branch’s color, whether white, green or brown. (它还改变自己的颜色以匹配枝条的颜色，无论是白色、绿色还是棕色。)”可知，毛毛虫会改变自身的颜色从而适应周边环境也就是适应生活条件。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“First, she tested the caterpillars’ eyes for light-sensitive proteins called opsins (视蛋白). “We did the skin as kind of a negative control,” said Dr. Eacock. “But then we found they were expressed in the skin as highly as they were in the head.”(首先，她在毛毛虫的眼睛里测试了一种叫做视蛋白的光敏蛋白。“我们把皮肤作为一种阴性对照，”Eacock博士说。“但后来我们发现，它们在皮肤中的表现和在头部中的表现一样高。”)”可知，她们发现毛毛虫皮肤中含有视蛋白；而根据第六段第一句“That’s when she suggested blindfolding the caterpillars. (这时她建议把毛毛虫的眼睛蒙上。)”可推断，正是毛毛虫皮肤中含有视蛋白才使她决定把毛毛虫的眼睛蒙上。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第七段““I thought it was kind of a crazy idea,” Dr. Saccheri said.(“我觉得这是个疯狂的想法，” Saccheri博士说。)”以及下文Eacock博士所介绍的研究过程“The blindfolding itself was a difficult task, involving black paint, a tiny paintbrush, a microscope and lots of patience, Dr. Eacock said. Caterpillars molt (蜕皮) several times over their lives, which required that they be blindfolded again frequently.( Eacock博士说，蒙眼本身就是一项艰巨的任务，需要用到黑色颜料、一把小画笔、一台显微镜和极大的耐心。毛毛虫一生中要蜕皮几次，这就要求它们经常被蒙上眼睛。)”可推断，Eacock博士的研究很难操作。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“According to a paper published in Communications Biology, the caterpillars sense the color of their surroundings not only with their eyes but also with their skin. (根据发表在《通讯生物学》上的一篇论文，毛毛虫不仅用眼睛，还用皮肤感知周围环境的颜色。)”可推断，文章主要介绍了一项研究发现成果。故选C。 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。 When you think about art, you might think of it as permanent. After all, that picture you drew in kindergarten might still hang on your refrigerator years later. ___36___ Think about a Broadway performance. When it’s over, it’s over. Sure, it might live on in your memory or on film. But the live show was a special event. It was limited to one time and place. Can you think of other forms of art that are temporary? ___37___ Have you ever spent hours building a beautiful sandcastle? If you have, you probably were sad when it was time to leave the beach. You knew your work of art would be gone as soon as the tide came in. The sandy beach is a canvas(油画布) that nature erases daily. Most of the time, art made from sand can’t last long. Still, many people love using sand to create their own unique vision of beauty. ___38___ It is a type of live performance art. Artists who work in sand animation use sand to make a set of images that usually tell a story. They often start with a large amount of sand on a flat surface, such as a table. They then use their hands and fingers to draw in the sand. ___39___ However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you. Many of these works of art are temporary. That’s where the animation part comes in. Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect. Sometimes they take photographs of or video their creation throughout the process. ___40___ A. Not all works of art are permanent, though. B. Sand animation is beautiful but lasts only at the moment. C. If you’re a fan of the beach, sandcastles might come to mind. D. One of the most attractive types of sand art is sand animation. E. Then, they turn it into a sand animation movie when it’s finished. F. It might seem like using sand would limit the art you could make. G. Building a sand castle is a family-friendly activity perfect for large groups. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. D 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“沙画”这种艺术形式，介绍了其特点以及制作过程。 【36题详解】 根据上文“When you think about art, you might think of it as permanent. After all, that picture you drew in kindergarten might still hang on your refrigerator years later.(当你想到艺术时，你可能会认为它是永恒的。毕竟，你在幼儿园画的那幅画可能几年后还会挂在冰箱上)”以及后文“Think about a Broadway performance. When it’s over, it’s over. Sure, it might live on in your memory or on film. But the live show was a special event. It was limited to one time and place.( 想想百老汇的演出。结束了，就结束了。当然，它可能活在你的记忆里或电影里。但是现场表演是一个特殊的事件。它被限制在一个时间和地点)”由此可知，后文提到百老汇的演出结束了就是结束了，只能存在于记忆中，说明本句与上文形成转折，说明并不是所有的艺术作品都是永久的。故A选项“不过，并不是所有的艺术作品都是永久的”符合语境，故选A。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Can you think of other forms of art that are temporary?(你还能想到其他暂时的艺术形式吗?)”以及后文“Have you ever spent hours building a beautiful sandcastle?(你曾经花了几个小时建造一个美丽的沙堡吗？)”由此可知，后文提到了沙堡这种短暂的艺术形式，可推知本句是在说明沙滩上堆沙堡的事情，从而引出后文。后文中sandcastle可对应到C选项中sandcastles。故C选项“如果你喜欢沙滩，你可能会想到沙堡”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Most of the time, art made from sand can’t last long. Still, many people love using sand to create their own unique vision of beauty.(大多数时候，用沙子做的艺术品不会持续太久。尽管如此，还是有很多人喜欢用沙子来创造自己独特的美景)”以及后文“It is a type of live performance art. Artists who work in sand animation use sand to make a set of images that usually tell a story. They often start with a large amount of sand on a flat surface, such as a table. They then use their hands and fingers to draw in the sand.(它是一种现场表演艺术。从事沙画的艺术家们用沙子制作一组图像，通常讲述一个故事。他们通常从平面上的大量沙子开始，比如桌子。然后他们用手和手指在沙子里画画)”由此可知，本句为过渡句，引出后文沙画这种沙子艺术类型，后文中it对应到D选项中sand animation。故D选项“最吸引人的沙子艺术类型之一是沙画”符合语境，故选D。 【39题详解】 根据后文“However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you.( 然而，各种各样的美丽和高度细致的沙子艺术品可能会让你惊讶)”由此可知，本句与后文形成转折，提出沙子看起来可能会限制艺术创作，实际上沙子艺术品非常多样化。故F选项“看起来用沙子会限制你的艺术创作”符合语境，故选F。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect. Sometimes they take photographs of or video their creation throughout the process.(沙画艺术家创造了一系列的图像，通过移动来讲述一个故事。他们也可能使用音乐和特殊的灯光来完成效果。有时他们会在整个创作过程中拍摄照片或录像)”由此可知，本句为本段最后一句，对上文进行总结，上文提到拍摄沙画的制作过程，故本句应当是说明拍摄完成后，就成了一部沙画电影。故E选项“然后，当它完成的时候，他们把它变成一个沙画电影”符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节(共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I can still remember the afternoon when we climbed the mountain as if it were yesterday.

B One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along his route. No problems for the first few stops—a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well. At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” and sat down at the back. The driver was five feet three, thin, and basically mild-mannered. Naturally, he didn’t argue with Big John, but he wasn’t happy about it. The next day the same thing happened—Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth. This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong—what’s more, felt really good about himself. So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” the driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed, “Oh, yeah? And why not?” With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, “Big John has a bus pass.” 24. What did Big John do repeatedly? A. He took advantage of the bus driver. B.

Interested C. Bored D. Annoyed 26. Why did Big John not pay for the bus ticket? A. He had the ticket to ride the bus. B. He was strong enough. C. He forgot paying the ticket. D. He wanted to take the bus for free. 27. What can be learned from the passage? A. It is never too late to believe in yourself. B. Nothing can prevent a person from achieving his goal. C. Be sure there is a problem firstly before working hard to solve one. D. It is better to set a goal firstly if you want to succeed. C Nightmares, or bad dreams, are terrible. I’ve dreamt about throwing up, animals swallowing me, and someone breaking into my house―all causing me to wake up in the middle of the night, heart racing, anxiety growing out of control. Sometimes, my bad dreams reflect exactly what I’m feeling anxious about. Other times, they’re about something else, but still seemingly caused by my anxiety levels. To find out if anxiety really can cause bad dreams, I went straight to the experts. The experts I spoke with agreed that anxiety could contribute to bad dreams. “Thoughts filled with anxiety while someone is asleep can manifest (显现) themselves as bad dreams or stress dreams,” said Alex Dimitriu, a double board-certified physician in psychiatry and sleep medicine. “Stress dreams, such as missing an important event, a test, or a flight, are often quite common in people undergoing stress during their daily lives.” Although the reasons why we dream are not fully understood, there may be times when your mind is simply trying to work through a challenge from that day — one that can be causing you to feel anxious. “We do know from research that the brain continues to work on solving problems during sleep,” explained Jason Durant, a New York-based licensed clinical psychologist. In that sense, dreaming can actually be a good thing, even if it feels uncomfortable at the time. “The mind is attempting to prompt (促使) you to use the tools you successfully used before when in a similar life situation, or to remind you what did not work and to try something new,” said Nancy Irwin, a clinical psychologist. Anyhow, bad dreams may be the last thing you want. You may not be able to prevent bad dreams completely, but you can focus on managing your anxiety during the day, which may help alleviate (减轻) the problem. Dr. Dimitriu suggests going for a walk, talking to friends and journaling to process your feelings throughout the day. Then, in the evenings, step away from your devices, and take some time to plot out a strategy for dealing with the things that are causing you stress. 28. Why does the author mention his/her experiences of bad dreams? A. To say anxiety is very common. B. To analyze the cause of bad dreams. C. To find anxiety levels in a dream. D. To prove bad dreams are unavoidable. 29. What does the word “themselves” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Bad dreams. B. Sleeping people. C. Stressful events. D. Anxious thoughts. 30. How do bad dreams benefit us in Nancy Irwin’s opinion? A. They keep us free of anxiety. B. They help us deal with problems. C. They allow us to recall the past. D They warn us to remain cautious. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Advice on how to reduce bad dreams. B. Ways to totally prevent dreaming. C. How to relieve anxiety through exercise. D. How to improve sleep quality at night. D Peppered moth caterpillars (桦尺蠖毛虫)live north of the equator. But if you’ve never seen one, don’t feel bad: They’re experts at blending in (融为一体). Each caterpillar looks like the branch it stays on, straightening its body into a stick-like shape. It also changes its color to match the branch’s color, whether white, green or brown. According to a paper published in Communications Biology, the caterpillars sense the color of their surroundings not only with their eyes but also with their skin. Ilik Saccheri, an author of the paper, normally studies the adult moth. This requires keeping a lot of caterpillars around. Years of observation awakened his curiosity about their color-changing abilities. Each caterpillar hatches tiny and black, and in its early days is blown around by the wind. Once it falls on a plant, it must disguise itself to avoid being spotted by birds. “I was a bit disbelieving that they could change that only using their eyes,” Dr. Saccheri said. Amy Eacock a graduate student in Dr. Saccheri’s lab decided to investigate. First, she tested the caterpillars’ eyes for light-sensitive proteins called opsins (视蛋白). “We did the skin as kind of a negative control,” said Dr. Eacock. “But then we found they were expressed in the skin as highly as they were in the head.” That’s when she suggested blindfolding the caterpillars. The researchers could cover their eyes, place them on different-colored dowels (木钉) , and see if they still changed to match. “I thought it was kind of a crazy idea,” Dr. Saccheri said. The blindfolding itself was a difficult task, involving black paint, a tiny paintbrush, a microscope and lots of patience, Dr. Eacock said. Caterpillars molt (蜕皮) several times over their lives, which required that they be blindfolded again frequently. But Dr. Eacock persisted, eventually testing more than 300 caterpillars. Over and over again, the blindfolded caterpillars successfully changed color to blend in. Many questions remain, but the behavior alone impressed the researchers. Dr. Eacock said, “I remember turning to Ilik one day and saying, ‘You know what? The caterpillars are cooler than the moths.’” “Yes. They’re pretty amazing,” Dr. Saccheri agreed. 32. What can we learn about peppered moth caterpillars? A. They feed on fresh tree branches. B. They can be found easily across the world. C. They can adapt to different environments. D. They change their body color to match living conditions. 33. Which of the following inspired Dr. Eacock to cover the caterpillars’ eyes? A. Caterpillars have a fear of height. B. There are opsins in caterpillars’ skin. C. Caterpillars molt several times in their life. D. There is something strange in caterpillars’ eyes. 34. What did Dr. Saccheri think of Dr. Eacock’s study? A. It was hard to operate. B. It was well designed. C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable. D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise. 35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text? A. To solve a mystery. B. To introduce a new species. C. To present a scientific study. D. To awaken readers’ curiosity. 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。 When you think about art, you might think of it as permanent.
