My hobby is making shoes. I’ve always liked designing things. I remember drawing clothes and shoes when I was eight, and I made my first skirt aged nine. At eleven, I started making shoes, and I now spend my free time doing that. I became interested in making shoes when my cousin told me about an online shoe-making course that he was doing. I immediately wanted to do one, too. Mum booked (为……预约) me on a four-day course at I Can Make Shoes School in London to see if I liked it, and then I did a ten-day course there in the summer holidays. I loved the courses. I made four pairs of shoes! I couldn’t believe it. The teachers were excellent. That’s the best thing about the classes. They made us work really hard but they wanted all their students to have fun, too. I’ve made about 15 pairs of shoes now. At the moment, I’m making a pair of training shoes using an old pair of jeans. But I’ve used all kinds of different things before, from old leather (皮革) handbags to old cotton dresses! Making shoes has changed my plans for the future. I know now that I want to be a designer (设计师), but not a shoe designer. I’ve decided I’ll do home design. I’ve designed lots of shoes and also some clothes, so I’d like to try something new. 43. What did Sascha begin to make at the age of 11? A. Skirts. B. Shoes. C. Jeans. D. Dresses. 44.

However, a team of scientists doesn’t believe that. They say that one type of snake makes close friends. The team of scientists wanted to see how garter snakes (束带蛇) communicate with each other. Especially, they wanted to know whether or not snakes make friends. The results turned out to be rather interesting. So, what did they do? Well, the team gathered 40 garter snakes. The scientists put groups of ten garter snakes in an enclosure (圈地). Inside the enclosure, there were rooms for the snakes to go inside. The team then watched how the snakes behaved (表现) towards each other. They formed groups. The experiment lasted eight days. Every day, the scientists removed (移开) the snakes from the enclosure. Then workers cleaned the space well. When the scientists put snakes back in a different structure, they then went straight back to the same groups again! The scientists believed this could show the garter snakes make friends. The team also said that they had noticed two types of snake personalities: shy and bold (大胆的). Shy snakes were reluctant (不情愿的) to come out of the rooms inside the enclosure. But bold snakes were happy to do that. The team of scientists believes that we shouldn’t be surprised that snakes form friendship. “All animals, even snakes need to communicate with others,” said Morgan Skinner, one of the scientists in the experiment. It’s not just snakes, though, that make friends. A recent scientific study found that dolphins do that, too. 48. What do people usually think of snakes? A. Friendly. B. Shy and bold. C. Cold-hearted. D. Out-going. 49. What did the workers do when scientists removed the snakes from the enclosure? A. They cleaned the enclosure. B. They fed the snakes. C. They cleaned the snakes. D. They caught the snakes. 50. How did shy snakes behave in the experiment? A. They wouldn’t communicate with others. B. They were afraid of meeting new friends. C. They wouldn’t be happy to come out of the rooms. D. They were afraid to go into the rooms. 51. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 52. Which of the following can be the best title? A. A Study about Friends B. Snakes Like to Make Friends C. Animals Are Our Good Friends D. The Great Scientists 【答案】48. C 49. A 50. C 51. B 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了人们通常认为蛇是冷酷无情的，但一组科学家通过对束带蛇的研究发现，蛇也会交朋友，并且不同性格的蛇在实验中有不同的表现，同时还提到不仅仅是蛇，海豚等动物也会交朋友。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Stories usually describe snakes as cold-hearted characters.”可知，人们通常认为蛇是冷酷无情的。故选C。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Every day, the scientists removed (移开) the snakes from the enclosure.

My hobby is making shoes. I’ve always liked designing things. I remember drawing clothes and shoes when I was eight, and I made my first skirt aged nine. At eleven, I started making shoes, and I now spend my free time doing that. I became interested in making shoes when my cousin told me about an online shoe-making course that he was doing. I immediately wanted to do one, too. Mum booked (为……预约) me on a four-day course at I Can Make Shoes School in London to see if I liked it, and then I did a ten-day course there in the summer holidays. I loved the courses. I made four pairs of shoes! I couldn’t believe it. The teachers were excellent. That’s the best thing about the classes. They made us work really hard but they wanted all their students to have fun, too. I’ve made about 15 pairs of shoes now. At the moment, I’m making a pair of training shoes using an old pair of jeans. But I’ve used all kinds of different things before, from old leather (皮革) handbags to old cotton dresses! Making shoes has changed my plans for the future. I know now that I want to be a designer (设计师), but not a shoe designer. I’ve decided I’ll do home design. I’ve designed lots of shoes and also some clothes, so I’d like to try something new. 43. What did Sascha begin to make at the age of 11? A. Skirts. B. Shoes. C. Jeans. D. Dresses. 44. Where could the text come from? A. An ad. B. A story book. C. A travel guide. D. A post. 45. What does Sascha plan to be in the future? A. A shoe designer. B. A handbag designer. C. A dress designer. D. A home designer. 46. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Sascha drew pictures when she was eight. B. Sascha only wants to be a shoe designer. C. Sascha made her first skirt when she was nine. D. Sascha’s mother booked some shoes for her at I Can Make Shoes School. 47. What can we probably infer from the passage? A. Sascha gave some of the shoes she had made to the poor. B. Sascha only likes making shoes. C. Sascha’s mum is a good designer. D. Sascha liked the teachers at I Can Make Shoes School. D Stories usually describe snakes as cold-hearted characters. However, a team of scientists doesn’t believe that. They say that one type of snake makes close friends. The team of scientists wanted to see how garter snakes (束带蛇) communicate with each other. Especially, they wanted to know whether or not snakes make friends. The results turned out to be rather interesting. So, what did they do? Well, the team gathered 40 garter snakes. The scientists put groups of ten garter snakes in an enclosure (圈地). Inside the enclosure, there were rooms for the snakes to go inside. The team then watched how the snakes behaved (表现) towards each other. They formed groups. The experiment lasted eight days. Every day, the scientists removed (移开) the snakes from the enclosure. Then workers cleaned the space well. When the scientists put snakes back in a different structure, they then went straight back to the same groups again! The scientists believed this could show the garter snakes make friends. The team also said that they had noticed two types of snake personalities: shy and bold (大胆的). Shy snakes were reluctant (不情愿的) to come out of the rooms inside the enclosure. But bold snakes were happy to do that. The team of scientists believes that we shouldn’t be surprised that snakes form friendship. “All animals, even snakes need to communicate with others,” said Morgan Skinner, one of the scientists in the experiment. It’s not just snakes, though, that make friends. A recent scientific study found that dolphins do that, too. 48. What do people usually think of snakes? A. Friendly. B. Shy and bold. C. Cold-hearted. D. Out-going. 49. What did the workers do when scientists removed the snakes from the enclosure? A. They cleaned the enclosure. B. They fed the snakes. C. They cleaned the snakes. D. They caught the snakes. 50. How did shy snakes behave in the experiment? A. They wouldn’t communicate with others. B. They were afraid of meeting new friends. C. They wouldn’t be happy to come out of the rooms. D. They were afraid to go into the rooms. 51. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 52. Which of the following can be the best title? A. A Study about Friends B. Snakes Like to Make Friends C. Animals Are Our Good Friends D. The Great Scientists B） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 What’s your favorite bird?
