You will pay £5 for your first five issues, then £24.50 every five issues thereafter, still saving 37%. This offer closes on 24 October 2024.(此优惠仅适用于英国境内配送地址。您需支付5英镑获取前五期杂志，之后每五期需支付24.50英镑，仍可节省37%。此优惠活动于2024年10月24日截止。)”可知，在英国，前五期杂志只需 £5，而之后每五期需支付£24.50，优惠活动于2024年10月24日截止。因此一个伦敦人在10月24日前订阅10期杂志，前5期花费£5，后5期花费£24.50，总费用为5+24.5=£29.50。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“You’ll receive 70+ recipes in every issue, as well as tips to eat seasonally, advice to love your leftovers and new ideas to make home cooking easier than ever before.(每期杂志包含70多个食谱，还有应季饮食小贴士、剩余食物利用建议，以及让家庭烹饪前所未有的轻松的新点子。)”可知，杂志提供大量食谱、烹饪小贴士等内容，这些对家庭厨师很有帮助，所以目标订阅者可能是家庭厨师。故选B。 B I am lucky enough to live here in the Forest of Dean. I taught home economics for over 40 years and I’m now retired, but do bed and breakfast, and cook privately in other people’s homes. Together with our grandchildren, this keeps me busy. The kitchen has a lot of glass and exposed steel work, which gives it a contemporary, almost industrial feel, which is combined with more traditional elements like the cabinetry (橱柜). We built the kitchen extension to take advantage of the location and views of the garden and beyond. It has carefully placed picture windows, which provide ever-changing views as the seasons continue. We decided to move the kitchen from one end of the barn (仓库) to the next, in order to take advantage of the views. Our architect creatively transformed our basic concept by turning it 90 degrees to include a large glass wall, which we hadn’t thought of. I am always cooking, so I wanted plenty of space, and the ability to entertain on a large scale(大范围) as well as somewhere for the two of us to eat. I love the size, the natural light and the peace and quiet, together with the amazing outlook. We have a large family and the open nature of the kitchen and outdoor terrace make it great for entertaining -but the most relaxing moment is sitting with a cup of tea and, Bill, our dog. I also enjoy the early mornings, watching the sunrise when no one else is up. I particularly love festivals in spring when all the family is home. The weather is warming up, we can open the doors to the garden, and the grandchildren are hunting for surprises from mother nature. 4. What do we know about the author? A. She worked as a teacher before. B. She keeps her grandchildren busy. C. She was tired of doing housework. D. She likes visiting other people’s homes. 5. What does paragraph 2 focus on about the kitchen? A. Its style and age. B. Its location and views. C. Its design and characteristics. D. Its size and materials. 6. Why did the author and her family move the kitchen? A. To have bigger room for meals. B. To obtain better visual effects. C. To follow the architect’s advice. D. To offer more family activities. 7. What’s the author’s attitude towards her life now? A. Anxious. B. Content. C. Sensitive. D. Doubtful. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章要描述了作者居住在Forest of Dean的生活体验，特别是关于他们家中厨房的改造和布局，以及这个空间如何满足他们的日常需求和娱乐活动。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I taught home economics for over 40 years and I’m now retired, but do bed and breakfast, and cook privately in other people’s homes.(我教了40多年的家政学，现在已经退休了，但我还在经营民宿，也会去别人家里做私家烹饪。)”可知，作者之前是一名教师，教家政学超过40年，现在退休了。故选A。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The kitchen has a lot of glass and exposed steel work, which gives it a contemporary, almost industrial feel, which is combined with more traditional elements like the cabinetry(橱柜). We built the kitchen extension to take advantage of the location and views of the garden and beyond. It has carefully placed picture windows, which provide ever-changing views as the seasons continue.(厨房有大量的玻璃和裸露的钢铁结构，赋予它一种现代感，近乎工业风，同时又与橱柜等更传统的元素相结合。我们扩建厨房，就是为了充分利用这里的位置，欣赏花园及远处的景色。厨房里精心安置了观景窗，随着季节的更迭，窗外的景色也不断变化。)”可知，第二段描述了厨房的设计，如大量玻璃和裸露钢铁结构，结合传统橱柜元素，以及为利用位置和景色所做的扩建，还有观景窗的设置等，重点阐述了厨房的设计及其呈现出的特点。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“We decided to move the kitchen from one end of the barn(仓库) to the next, in order to take advantage of the views.(我们决定把厨房从谷仓的一端移到另一端，以便更好地欣赏风景。)”可知，作者和家人移动厨房是为了更好地欣赏风景，也就是获得更好的视觉效果。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We have a large family and the open nature of the kitchen and outdoor terrace make it great for entertaining -but the most relaxing moment is sitting with a cup of tea and, Bill, our dog. I also enjoy the early mornings, watching the sunrise when no one else is up. I particularly love festivals in spring when all the family is home.(我们家人口众多，开放式的厨房和户外露台非常适合举办聚会——不过最惬意的时刻，还是和我们的狗狗比尔一起，坐着喝杯茶。我也喜欢清晨，在其他人还没起床的时候欣赏日出。我尤其喜爱春天的节日，那时全家人都在家。)”以及全文内容可知，从作者描述自己的生活，如喜欢厨房的各种设计、享受与家人在一起的时光、喜爱各种季节的不同景色等内容可以看出，作者对现在的生活很满意。故选B。 C A newly discovered planet could provide a window into Earth’s future, billions of years from now. In around one billion years, our Sun will swell to a red giant, absorbing Mercury and Venus during its growth. This process is called red giant period. There’s a chance that Earth could be spared. As it swells, the Sun will start losing mass (质量), which will cause its planets to migrate outwards, meaning Earth could race ahead of the growing star.“Whether life can survive on Earth through that red giant period is unknown. Our Sun will begin the long transformation into becoming a white dwarf (白矮星),” says Jessica Lu from the research team of UC, Berkeley, which discovered the planet. The planet KMT-2020-BLG-0414L b is located about 4,000 light years away. It is about the same mass as Earth but it orbits a white dwarf star at twice the distance. In 2020, it was discovered using a method called microlensing (微透镜将就) where the light from a far star, or source star, is made brighter by the gravity of a closer star, or lens star. By studying how the light brightens, the research team found this planet orbiting the lens star. Three years later, the source star moved away. The team returned to observe the lens star on its own, only to find the star was too cloudy to be seen. “Our conclusions are based on removing various possibilities, since a normal star would have been easily seen by astronomers,” says Keming Zhang, who led the research team. “Because the lens star is both dark and low mass, we concluded that it can only be a white dwarf.” Will the future of the earth be like that of that planet? Only time will tell. 8. What does the underlined word “swell” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Reduce. B. Belong. C. Move D. Expand. 9. What can we know about the planet KMT-2020-BLG-0414L b? A. It orbits a white dwarf. B. It is as large as the Earth. C. It is not far from the Earth. D. Its light helped find planets. 10. What do Keming Zhang’s words mean? A. Astronomers will find more lens stars. B. People can distinctly see a normal star. C. A white dwarf is dark and low mass. D. Various discoveries led to their conclusions. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Distant Planet Is Moving Closer to Earth B. Earth Will Be Absorbed by the Sun One Day C. New Planet’s Discovery Indicates Earth will Become Lifeless D. Newly Discovered Planet Betters Our Understanding of Earth’s Future 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新发现的行星KMT-2020-BLG-0414L b让我们更好地理解了地球的未来。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“In around one billion years, our Sun will swell to a red giant, absorbing Mercury and Venus during its growth. (大约10亿年后，我们的太阳将swell成一颗红巨星，在它的成长过程中吸收水星和金星。)”可知，大约10亿年后，我们的太阳会膨胀成一颗红巨星，在其成长过程中会吞噬水星和金星。因此，swell在此处的意思是“扩大，膨胀”，与expand“扩大”意思相近。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“The planet KMT-2020-BLG-0414L b is located about 4,000 light years away. It is about the same mass as Earth but it orbits a white dwarf star at twice the distance. (行星KMT-2020-BLG-0414L b距离地球约4000光年。它质量和地球差不多，但它绕着一颗距离是地球两倍的白矮星运行。)”可知，该行星绕着一颗白矮星运行。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中““Our conclusions are based on removing various possibilities, since a normal star would have been easily seen by astronomers,” says Keming Zhang, who led the research team. “Because the lens star is both dark and low mass, we concluded that it can only be a white dwarf.” (“我们的结论是建立在排除各种可能性的基础上的，因为一颗正常的恒星很容易被天文学家看到，”研究小组的负责人张克明说。“因为这颗透镜星既暗又低质量，所以我们得出结论，它只能是一颗白矮星。”)”可知，他的话意思是白矮星既黑暗又质量低。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“A newly discovered planet could provide a window into Earth’s future, billions of years from now. (一颗新发现的行星可能为我们了解几十亿年后地球的未来提供了一扇窗口。)”可知，文章主要讲述了新发现的行星对我们了解地球未来的意义，因此最适合的标题是“Newly Discovered Planet Betters Our Understanding of Earth’s Future (新发现的行星让我们更好地了解地球的未来)”。故选D。 D From long and winding migration fights to complex songs and clever tool use, many bird behaviors are known to be shared socially and to carry on through generations — what scientists define as animal “culture”. Now a study suggests culture might play a role in bird architecture, too. Researchers analyzed more than 400 structures built by 43 different groups of sparrows (麻雀) in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. The scientists found that different gatherings of birds, even those living only a few meters from one another, built very different tube structures. The biggest difference was in “how short or long the structures are,” says study lead author Maria C. Tello-Ramos, a biologist at the University of Hull in England. Tube width also varied between groups. Furthermore, each group maintained the same architectural style over time — and when outsiders joined, they adapted to this style. To examine why the groups built differently, the team analyzed factors that can determine a nest’s size and shape for a given bird species: weather conditions, tree height, individuals’ body size and genetic (基因的) relatedness. Yet none of these factors seemed to play a related role in shaping how the Kalahari sparrows built their nests, the researchers report in Science. Tello-Ramos and her colleagues suggested that cultural sharing might be key to nest building. “In our paper, we haven’t gotten there yet with experiments, but we have very good clues that this might be it,” she says. “These are important questions that are understudied,” says Christina Riehl, a biologist at Princeton University. She’s not convinced the study’s data are enough to fully remove genetic influence. “They can’t actually look at the effect of genetic differences, because they don’t have really good genetic information on all the individuals in these groups,” she says. “I think there’s a lot left to be done, and I think this paper will inspire future research in a really good way.” 12. What is the purpose of writing paragraph 1? A. To give examples. B. To introduce the topic. C. To make an assumption. D. To express a viewpoint. 13. What’s the finding of researching different groups of sparrow nests? A. They are most different in shape. B. They are open to all groups of sparrows. C. They keep the same architectural style. D. They are of different length and width. 14. How did Tello-Ramos and her colleagues draw their conclusion in the paper? A. By removing the impossible factors. B. By carrying on experiments. C. By collecting enough proofs. D. By referring to historical data. 15. What does Riehl think of the study according to the last paragraph? A. It is not perfect but inspiring. B. It is good but not necessary. C. It is not accurate but detailed. D. It is different but not challenging. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于文化对鸟类巢穴建筑影响的研究，研究表明，文化也可能在鸟类的建筑中发挥作用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“From long and winding migration fights to complex songs and clever tool use, many bird behaviors are known to be shared socially and to carry on through generations — what scientists define as animal “culture”. Now a study suggests culture might play a role in bird architecture, too.(从漫长而曲折的迁徙战斗到复杂的歌声和聪明的工具使用，鸟类的许多行为都是社会共享的，并代代相传——科学家们将其定义为动物的‘文化’。现在一项研究表明，文化也可能在鸟类的建筑中发挥作用。)”可知，第一段先阐述了鸟类存在 “文化” 这一普遍认知，然后引出“文化可能在鸟类建筑中也起作用”这一话题，起到了引入主题的作用。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The biggest difference was in “how short or long the structures are,” says study lead author Maria C. Tello-Ramos, a biologist at the University of Hull in England. Tube width also varied between groups.(该研究的第一作者、英国赫尔大学的生物学家玛丽亚・C・特略—拉莫斯表示，最大的差异在于‘结构的长短’。不同群体间的管道宽度也有所不同。)”可知，研究不同种类的麻雀巢穴发现，不同麻雀群体建造的巢穴在长度和宽度上有差异。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Researchers analyzed more than 400 structures built by 43 different groups of sparrows (麻雀) in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa.(研究人员分析了非洲南部喀拉哈里沙漠中43种不同麻雀群建造的400多个结构。)”以及第三段“To examine why the groups built differently, the team analyzed factors that can determine a nest’s size and shape for a given bird species: weather conditions, tree height, individuals’ body size and genetic (基因的) relatedness. Yet none of these factors seemed to play a related role in shaping how the Kalahari sparrows built their nests, the researchers report in Science. Tello-Ramos and her colleagues suggested that cultural sharing might be key to nest building. “In our paper, we haven’t gotten there yet with experiments, but we have very good clues that this might be it,” she says.(为了研究为什么这些群体的筑巢方式不同，研究小组分析了决定特定鸟类巢穴大小和形状的因素：天气条件、树木高度、个体体型和遗传亲缘关系。然而，研究人员在《科学》杂志上报告说，这些因素似乎都没有在塑造喀拉哈里麻雀如何筑巢方面发挥相关作用。泰罗-拉莫斯和她的同事们认为，文化共享可能是筑巢的关键。她说：‘我们的论文中，我们还没有通过实验到达那里，但我们有很好的线索表明这可能就是它。’)”可知，Tello-Ramos和同事分析了非洲南部喀拉哈里沙漠中43种不同麻雀群建造的400多个结构，以及可能决定鸟类巢穴大小和形状的因素，如天气状况、树高、个体体型以及基因相关性等，最终获得很好的线索表明文化共享可能是筑巢的关键；由此可知，Tello-Ramos和同事是通过收集足够的证据得出论文中的结论的。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““They can’t actually look at the effect of genetic differences, because they don’t have really good genetic information on all the individuals in these groups,” she says. “I think there’s a lot left to be done, and I think this paper will inspire future research in a really good way.”(‘他们实际上无法看到遗传差异的影响，因为他们没有这些群体中所有个体的真正好的遗传信息。’她说：‘我认为还有很多工作要做，我认为这篇论文将以一种非常好的方式启发未来的研究。’)”可知，Riehl 认为该研究的数据不足以完全排除基因的影响，说明她觉得研究并不完美；同时她又提到“this paper will inspire future research in a really good way(这篇论文将以一种非常积极的方式激发未来的研究)”，表明研究具有启发性。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 To inspire in pupils a curiosity about the world and its people, we need to provide children with opportunities to be curious. ___16___.

So she was often teased at school. “Watch,” a tall boy yelled, and took hold of his right leg and imitated (模仿) the way Mary limped (瘸) when she walked. Mary closed her eyes. “Ignore him,” she told herself as she headed for her classroom. But at the end of the day, Mary was still thinking about the tall boy’s teasing. Kids laughed at her about her speech or her limping. Mary was tired of it. Sometimes, even in a classroom full of other students, the teasing made her feel all alone. Back home at the dinner table that evening, Mary was quiet. Her mother knew that things were not going well at school. “There’s a Christmas wish contest on the radio station,” Mary’s mom announced. “Write a letter to Santa, and you might win a prize.” A smile took hold of Mary when an idea first came to her. Out came pencil and paper, and Mary went to work on her letter to Santa Claus. In the letter she described her problem at school and asked Santa for help, hoping to get one day when no one laughed at her or made fun of her. At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas wish contest. The workers had fun reading about all the different presents that boys and girls from across the city wanted for Christmas. When Mary’s letter arrived at the radio station, the manager read it carefully. He knew cerebral palsy was a muscle disorder that might confuse some of Mary’s schoolmates, who didn’t understand her disability. He thought it would be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this girl and her unusual wish. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 So the manager called up the local newspaper immediately. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mary and her family read every single letter filled with friendship and support. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】So the manager called up the local newspaper immediately. The next day, Mary’s letter to Santa made the front page of the newspaper. The story spread quickly. All across the country, newspapers and radio and television stations reported the story of the little girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who asked for such a simple yet remarkable Christmas gift -just one day without teasing. Soon the postman became a regular visitor to Mary’s house, with envelopes of all sizes addressed to Mary from all across the nation. Mary and her family read every single letter filled with friendship and support. Each writer had a special message for Mary. Through the cards and letters from strangers, Mary glimpsed a world full of people who truly cared about each other. Also, teachers and students of her school talked together about how bad teasing could make others feel. Students realized that teasing others for their physical disabilities is wrong. Happily for her, Mary fulfilled her Christmas wish and her schoolmates no longer teased her. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个关于Mary，一个患有脑瘫的小女孩，在学校遭受嘲笑，但通过写信给圣诞老人表达愿望，最终得到广泛关注和支持，从而改变了自己和周围人态度的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“于是，经理立即联系了当地报纸。”以及第二段首句内容“Mary和她的家人阅读了每一封充满友谊和支持的信件。”可知，第一段可描写媒体报道了Mary的故事，而Mary也收到很多信件。 ②由第二段首句内容“Mary和她的家人阅读了每一封充满友谊和支持的信件。”可知，第二段可描写这些信件给了Mary幸福与信心，而Mary的圣诞愿望也实现了，因为同学们不再取笑她。 2.续写线索：经理联系了当地的报纸——Mary的信登上了报纸的头版——全国的媒体都报道了Mary的故事——所有人都被打动了，这个可怜的姑娘只希望有一天不被取笑的日子——于是，Mary收到了全国各地的来信——在信中，人们表达着对Mary的喜爱和支持——这些信件让Mary非常开心——而她的同学们也不再取笑她——Mary的圣诞愿望终于实现了 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①报道：report/cover ②充满了：(be) full of/(be) filled with ③取笑：tease/make fun of 情绪类 ①关心：care about/be regardful of ②高兴地：happily/delightedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】All across the country, newspapers and radio and television stations reported the story of the little girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who asked for such a simple yet remarkable Christmas gift -just one day without teasing.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Through the cards and letters from strangers, Mary glimpsed a world full of people who truly cared about each other.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 达州市2024年普通高中二年级秋季学期教学质量监测 英语试题 本试卷四部分，共10页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的班级、姓名、准考证号用0.5毫米的黑色签字笔填写在答题卡上，并检查条形码粘贴是否正确。 2. 选择题使用2B铅笔填涂在答题卡对应题目标号的位置上，非选择题用0.5毫米的黑色签字笔书写在答题卡的对应题框内，超出答题区域书写的答案无效;在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 3. 考试结束以后，将答题卡收回。 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.

I taught home economics for over 40 years and I’m now retired, but do bed and breakfast, and cook privately in other people’s homes. Together with our grandchildren, this keeps me busy. The kitchen has a lot of glass and exposed steel work, which gives it a contemporary, almost industrial feel, which is combined with more traditional elements like the cabinetry (橱柜). We built the kitchen extension to take advantage of the location and views of the garden and beyond. It has carefully placed picture windows, which provide ever-changing views as the seasons continue. We decided to move the kitchen from one end of the barn (仓库) to the next, in order to take advantage of the views. Our architect creatively transformed our basic concept by turning it 90 degrees to include a large glass wall, which we hadn’t thought of. I am always cooking, so I wanted plenty of space, and the ability to entertain on a large scale(大范围) as well as somewhere for the two of us to eat. I love the size, the natural light and the peace and quiet, together with the amazing outlook. We have a large family and the open nature of the kitchen and outdoor terrace make it great for entertaining -but the most relaxing moment is sitting with a cup of tea and, Bill, our dog. I also enjoy the early mornings, watching the sunrise when no one else is up. I particularly love festivals in spring when all the family is home. The weather is warming up, we can open the doors to the garden, and the grandchildren are hunting for surprises from mother nature. 4. What do we know about the author? A. She worked as a teacher before. B. She keeps her grandchildren busy. C. She was tired of doing housework. D. She likes visiting other people’s homes. 5. What does paragraph 2 focus on about the kitchen? A. Its style and age. B. Its location and views. C. Its design and characteristics. D. Its size and materials. 6. Why did the author and her family move the kitchen? A. To have bigger room for meals. B. To obtain better visual effects. C. To follow the architect’s advice. D. To offer more family activities. 7. What’s the author’s attitude towards her life now? A. Anxious. B. Content. C. Sensitive. D. Doubtful. C A newly discovered planet could provide a window into Earth’s future, billions of years from now. In around one billion years, our Sun will swell to a red giant, absorbing Mercury and Venus during its growth. This process is called red giant period. There’s a chance that Earth could be spared. As it swells, the Sun will start losing mass (质量), which will cause its planets to migrate outwards, meaning Earth could race ahead of the growing star.“Whether life can survive on Earth through that red giant period is unknown. Our Sun will begin the long transformation into becoming a white dwarf (白矮星),” says Jessica Lu from the research team of UC, Berkeley, which discovered the planet. The planet KMT-2020-BLG-0414L b is located about 4,000 light years away. It is about the same mass as Earth but it orbits a white dwarf star at twice the distance. In 2020, it was discovered using a method called microlensing (微透镜将就) where the light from a far star, or source star, is made brighter by the gravity of a closer star, or lens star. By studying how the light brightens, the research team found this planet orbiting the lens star. Three years later, the source star moved away. The team returned to observe the lens star on its own, only to find the star was too cloudy to be seen. “Our conclusions are based on removing various possibilities, since a normal star would have been easily seen by astronomers,” says Keming Zhang, who led the research team. “Because the lens star is both dark and low mass, we concluded that it can only be a white dwarf.” Will the future of the earth be like that of that planet? Only time will tell. 8. What does the underlined word “swell” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Reduce. B. Belong. C. Move D. Expand. 9. What can we know about the planet KMT-2020-BLG-0414L b? A. It orbits a white dwarf. B. It is as large as the Earth. C. It is not far from the Earth. D. Its light helped find planets. 10. What do Keming Zhang’s words mean? A. Astronomers will find more lens stars. B. People can distinctly see a normal star. C. A white dwarf is dark and low mass. D. Various discoveries led to their conclusions. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Distant Planet Is Moving Closer to Earth B. Earth Will Be Absorbed by the Sun One Day C. New Planet’s Discovery Indicates Earth will Become Lifeless D. Newly Discovered Planet Betters Our Understanding of Earth’s Future D From long and winding migration fights to complex songs and clever tool use, many bird behaviors are known to be shared socially and to carry on through generations — what scientists define as animal “culture”. Now a study suggests culture might play a role in bird architecture, too. Researchers analyzed more than 400 structures built by 43 different groups of sparrows (麻雀) in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. The scientists found that different gatherings of birds, even those living only a few meters from one another, built very different tube structures. The biggest difference was in “how short or long the structures are,” says study lead author Maria C. Tello-Ramos, a biologist at the University of Hull in England. Tube width also varied between groups. Furthermore, each group maintained the same architectural style over time — and when outsiders joined, they adapted to this style. To examine why the groups built differently, the team analyzed factors that can determine a nest’s size and shape for a given bird species: weather conditions, tree height, individuals’ body size and genetic (基因的) relatedness. Yet none of these factors seemed to play a related role in shaping how the Kalahari sparrows built their nests, the researchers report in Science. Tello-Ramos and her colleagues suggested that cultural sharing might be key to nest building. “In our paper, we haven’t gotten there yet with experiments, but we have very good clues that this might be it,” she says. “These are important questions that are understudied,” says Christina Riehl, a biologist at Princeton University. She’s not convinced the study’s data are enough to fully remove genetic influence. “They can’t actually look at the effect of genetic differences, because they don’t have really good genetic information on all the individuals in these groups,” she says. “I think there’s a lot left to be done, and I think this paper will inspire future research in a really good way.” 12. What is the purpose of writing paragraph 1? A. To give examples. B. To introduce the topic. C. To make an assumption. D. To express a viewpoint. 13. What’s the finding of researching different groups of sparrow nests? A. They are most different in shape. B. They are open to all groups of sparrows. C. They keep the same architectural style. D. They are of different length and width. 14. How did Tello-Ramos and her colleagues draw their conclusion in the paper? A. By removing the impossible factors. B. By carrying on experiments. C. By collecting enough proofs. D. By referring to historical data. 15 What does Riehl think of the study according to the last paragraph? A. It is not perfect but inspiring. B. It is good but not necessary. C. It is not accurate but detailed. D. It is different but not challenging. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 To inspire in pupils a curiosity about the world and its people, we need to provide children with opportunities to be curious. ___16___.

So she was often teased at school. “Watch,” a tall boy yelled, and took hold of his right leg and imitated (模仿) the way Mary limped (瘸) when she walked. Mary closed her eyes. “Ignore him,” she told herself as she headed for her classroom. But at the end of the day, Mary was still thinking about the tall boy’s teasing. Kids laughed at her about her speech or her limping. Mary was tired of it. Sometimes, even in a classroom full of other students, the teasing made her feel all alone. Back home at the dinner table that evening, Mary was quiet. Her mother knew that things were not going well at school. “There’s a Christmas wish contest on the radio station,” Mary’s mom announced. “Write a letter to Santa, and you might win a prize.” A smile took hold of Mary when an idea first came to her. Out came pencil and paper, and Mary went to work on her letter to Santa Claus. In the letter she described her problem at school and asked Santa for help, hoping to get one day when no one laughed at her or made fun of her. At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas wish contest. The workers had fun reading about all the different presents that boys and girls from across the city wanted for Christmas. When Mary’s letter arrived at the radio station, the manager read it carefully. He knew cerebral palsy was a muscle disorder that might confuse some of Mary’s schoolmates, who didn’t understand her disability. He thought it would be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this girl and her unusual wish. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 So the manager called up the local newspaper immediately. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mary and her family read every single letter filled with friendship and support. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
