Here’s our pick of Greece’s best hikes for you. Delphi to Kirra Walk, Central Greece 14 kilometers, 5-6 hours. This 14-kilometer downhill hike follows a centuries-old pathway from historic Delphi to the ancient port of Kirra, just east of modern Itea on the southern coast of mainland Greece. Going along the edge of the village of Crissa, it goes to the gulf through Greece’s largest olive garden. After your hike, lunch or a swim, you can return to Delphi by bus. Hike to the Tomb of Kleobolus, Rhodes 5 kilometers, 2 hours. An easy and enjoyable 5-kilometer round-trip hike escapes Lindos to reach the so-called Tomb of Kleobolus. Starting alongside Car Park 1 above the main beach, the route ends at a rocky hill topped by a circular tomb actually built during the 2nd century BC. Hike to Samariá Gorge, Crete 16 kilometers, 6-7 hours. Hiking the 16-kilometer Samariá Gorge is considered one of Crete’s must-do experiences. There is the undeniable raw beauty of Samariá Gorge, where vertical walls rise up to 500 meters and are just 3.5 meters apart at the narrowest point. Mt Ohi Summit Hike, Evia 8 kilometers, 3-4 hours. The summit of Mt Ohi, lesser-visited Evia’s third-highest peak, is capped with mysterious ancient dragon houses — 7th-century BC architecture, made from rocks weighing several tons. It’s possible to stay overnight at the 1,000-meter-high shelter and then hike up Mt Ohi to catch the wonderful sunrise, which makes for a magical experience. 1. What can we know about the Delphi to Kirra Walk? A. It’s an easy and pleasant trip to a garden. B. It follows a route full of beautiful beaches. C. It’s a challenging route through a rocky hill. D.

Dillon Helbig wrote the book titled The Adventures of Dillon Helbig’s Christmas, because he “likes Christmas and decorations”. Dillon’s journey to getting it published is a pretty interesting story. During Christmas break, the second-grader penned the book and then added pictures. The book begins with Dillion himself decorating a Christmas tree. The star on top of the tree explodes, and then he is sucked into an entrance. Over just four days, the boy filled in 81 pages of a journal. Then he went to the local Ada Community Library with his mother. “He wanted to get his story out there so all the kids can read his adventures,” his mother said. He was unsure how to get his book on the library shelf, so he planned to follow the librarians. “There were a lot of librarians,” Dillon said, but he successfully slid his book onto a children’s picture-book shelf. One of the librarians found it. And he said, “Oh, this is kind of interesting.” And he added it to the catalog. After secretly posting his book, Dillon’s graphic novel attracted fans. 56 people were on the waiting list to check it out by the end of January. The number has grown to 88 this week. Demand for Dillon’s graphic novel extends beyond the United States. One of the librarians received inquiries for the book from the Netherlands and Bangladesh. Dillon has wanted to publish a book since he was five. The library gave Dillon an award for “best young novelist”, which he does have a lot to be proud of. 4. What inspired Dillon to write the book? A. His desire to attract fans worldwide. B. His dream to win a literature award. C. His plan to add it to the library catalog. D. His interest in Christmas and decorations. 5. What can be learned about the book from the text? A. It is a very thick book. B. It was written by hand. C. It contains only pictures. D. It took three years to finish. 6. Why did Dillon go to the library with his mum? A. To share his book with other kids. B. To present his book to a librarian. C. To borrow a children’s picture book. D. To communicate with overseas readers. 7. Which word best describes Dillon? A. Cute. B. Brave. C. Talented. D. Humorous. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一个八岁的男孩自己出版了一本关于圣诞节的图画小说，这本书在美国和海外吸引了大量的读者，并介绍了孩子写书和出版的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Dillon Helbig wrote the book, titled The Adventures of Dillon Helbig’s Christmas, because he “likes Christmas and decorations”(Dillon Helbig 写了这本书，书名是《Dillon Helbig 的圣诞历险记》，因为他“喜欢圣诞节和装饰品”)”可知，是他对圣诞节和装饰品的兴趣激发了他写书，故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“During Christmas break, the second-grader penned the book and then added pictures.(在圣诞节假期，二年级的学生写了这本书，然后加上了图画)”可知,这本书是手写的，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“He wanted to get his story out there so all the kids can read his adventures, his mother said.（他想把他的故事带到那里，这样所有的孩子都能读到他的冒险故事，他的母亲说）”可推知，与其他孩子分享他的书，应该是跟妈妈去图书馆的原因。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Dillon has wanted to publish a book since he was five. The library gave Dillon an award for ‘best young novelist’, which he does have a lot to be proud of.（Dillon 从五岁起就想出版一本书。图书馆授予 Dillon “最佳年轻小说家”奖，他确实有很多值得骄傲的地方）”可推知，Dillon 非常有才华，故选C。 C When put to the test, bees have proved over and over again that they’ve got a lot more to offer than pollinating (授粉), making honey and being loyal to a queen. The industrious insects can count and alter their behavior when things seem difficult, and now some scientists say there’s proof that they also like to play. A study recently published in Animal Behavior suggests that bumblebees, when given the chance, like to fool around with toys. Researchers from Queen Mary University of London conducted an experiment in which they set up a container that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could opt to pass through a separate section with a few of small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly, despite no apparent motivation to do so. The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with lifeless objects as a form of play. Also similar to people, younger bees seemed to be more playful than adult bees. “This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more sophisticated than we might imagine,” Lars Chittka, a professor of sensory and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary University of London, who led the study, said in a statement. “There are lots of animals who play just for the purposes of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals and birds,” said Chittka. The study’s first author, Samadi Galpayage, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, added that there is yet more evidence that insects may be capable of experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience some kind of positive emotional states. This sort of finding has implications to our understanding of feelings and welfare of insects and will, hopefully, encourage us to respect and protect life on Earth ever more,” she said in the statement. 8. What can we know about bees from a recent study? A. They can adapt to new situations. B. They are quite faithful to the queen. C. They are more intelligent than expected. D. They are probably fond of having fun. 9. Why do the scientists design a separate section with small wooden balls? A. To find out whether bees will be distracted. B. To prohibit bees from going through the pass. C. To better watch bees play with lifeless objects. D. To figure out how bees interact with each other. 10. What does the underlined word “sophisticated” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Energetic. B. Complicated. C. Social. D. Outgoing. 11. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Insects are badly treated nowadays. B. Bees are one of the smartest insects. C. Insects may have feelings as humans. D. Insects are a reminder of nature protection. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究结果表明昆虫的思维比人类想象的复杂。这项研究对于保护昆虫有很大的作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The industrious insects can count and alter their behavior when things seem difficult, and now some scientists say there’s proof that they also like to play. (这种勤劳的昆虫在遇到困难时可以数数并改变自己的行为，现在一些科学家说，有证据表明它们也喜欢玩耍。）可知，从最近的研究中可以了解到蜜蜂可能喜欢玩耍。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But along the way, the bees could opt to pass through a separate section with a few of small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly, despite no apparent motivation to do so. (但在途中，蜜蜂可以选择穿过一个有几个小木球的独立区域。在18天的时间里，科学家们观察到尽管没有明显动机，蜜蜂仍然不厌其烦地滚动小木球。)”可推知，设计小木球的目的是为了看看蜜蜂是否会分心。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with lifeless objects as a form of play. Also similar to people, younger bees seemed to be more playful than adult bees. (这一发现表明，像人类一样，昆虫也与无生命的物体互动，作为一种游戏形式。同样与人类相似的是，年轻的蜜蜂似乎比成年蜜蜂更爱玩。)可知，这项研究有力地表明，昆虫的思维比我们想象的要复杂得多。“sophisticated”意为复杂的。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““They may actually experience some kind of positive emotional states. This sort of finding has implications to our understanding of feelings and welfare of insects and will, hopefully, encourage us to respect and protect life on Earth ever more,” she said in the statement. (“他们实际上可能会经历某种积极的情绪状态。她在声明中说：“这类发现对我们理解昆虫的感受和福利有影响，希望能鼓励我们更加尊重和保护地球上的生命。”）”可推知，昆虫可能和人类一样会有情感。故选C。 D If you’ve ever wondered where water on Earth comes from, new research on a meteorite (陨石) which landed in a family’s front yard in England last year may have just the answer. Researchers from London’s Natural History Museum and the University of Glasgow, in Scotland, studied the meteorite found in the town of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, discovering it contained water similar to that found on Earth. Published in the journal Science Advances, the study reveals that outer-space rocks may have brought vital chemical components such as water to our planet billions of years ago, establishing the oceans and all life on Earth. Imaging and chemical analysis of the Winchcombe meteorite revealed it contains around 11% water and 2% carbon by weight, making it the first of its kind found in the UK. The team, which measured the rate of hydrogen isotopes in the water, found that it closely resembled the composition of water on Earth. Recovered within 12 hours of its landing with the aid of the UK Fireball Alliance, an organization which aims to recover freshly-fallen meteorites in the UK, it had very little time to be altered by the Earth’s atmosphere. “We know this means everything inside it is 100% outer-space including the 11% water it contains,” Daly said. “Most meteorites have ‘Earth-like’ water but these rocks alter and degrade within days or weeks of being on Earth, and so they could just be Earth-like because they have absorbed rain water or something,” he explained. Daly called the Winchcombe meteorite a “lucky” find. It was only the size of a basketball, so if it was traveling at a different speed or at a different angle, it would have all burnt up, he said, adding that it was a great cooperation of the UK cosmochemistry network who “came together to throw the kitchen sink at studying this rock.” 12. What did the researchers find about the meteorite? A. It had absorbed some rain water. B. It landed in a family’s front yard. C. It changed the town of Winchcombe. D. It might reveal the origin of water on Earth. 13. How did the researchers analyse the meteorite? A. By calculating its weight. B. By studying its composition. C. By measuring its chemical stability. D. By comparing its resemblance with others. 14. Why does Daly mention “Earth-like” water of other meteorites? A. To suggest that there are more similar research findings. B. To demonstrate the universality of meteorites’ being polluted. C. To show the changeable feature of the Winchcombe meteorite. D. To prove the water of the Winchcombe meteorite is outer-space. 15. Why is the Winchcombe meteorite regarded as a “lucky” find? A. It narrowly missed being burned. B. It won many British scientists’ heart. C It came to the Earth at a perfect time. D. It landed in a very appropriate place. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了在英国发现的一颗陨石可能揭示了地球上水的起源。科学家对陨石的成分进行研究后发现，其内部水与地球上的水相似。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Published in the journal Science Advances, the study reveals that outer-space rocks may have brought vital chemical components such as water to our planet billions of years ago, establishing the oceans and all life on Earth.(发表在《科学进展》杂志上的这项研究表明，数十亿年前，外太空的岩石可能为我们的星球带来了水等重要化学成分，在地球上建立了海洋和所有生命)可知,陨石可能会揭示地球上水的起源。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Imaging and chemical analysis of the Winchcombe meteorite revealed it contains around 11% water and 2% carbon by weight(对温奇科姆陨石的成像和化学分析显示，它含有大约11%的水和2%的碳）可知,研究人员通过分析陨石的成分来研究它。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““We know this means everything inside it is 100% outer-space including the 11% water it contains,” Daly said. “Most meteorites have ‘Earth-like’ water but these rocks alter and degrade within days or weeks of being on Earth, and so they could just be Earth-like because they have absorbed rain water or something,” he explained.(戴利说：“我们知道，这意味着它内部的一切都是100%的外太空，包括它所含的11%的水。”他解释说：“大多数陨石都有类似地球的水，但这些岩石在地球上几天或几周内就会发生变化和降解，所以它们可能只是像地球一样，因为它们吸收了雨水或其他东西)”可知，Daly提到其他陨石的“类地”水主要是为证明Winchcombe陨石中的水确实是来自外太空。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It was only the size of a basketball, so if it was traveling at a different speed or at a different angle, it would have all burnt up(它只有篮球大小，所以如果它以不同的速度或以不同的角度行进，它会全部烧毁)”可知，Winchcombe陨石被认为是一个“幸运”的发现，因为它差点儿就被烧毁了。故选A。 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。 Yawning (打哈欠) is an involuntary act of opening the mouth and taking a deep breath of air which is then breathed out. ___16___, it is also viewed as a sign of disrespect in social gatherings. However, this simple bodily function may also be a sign of underlying health concerns. Here are five things your consistent yawns might be trying to tell you.  ___17___. More specifically, your brain needs rest. Yawning moves hot blood from the brain and replaces it with cooler air from the lungs, which is why yawns are sometimes referred to as the body’s natural radiator system.  You’re tired. Getting only a little sleep causes the brain temperature to increase. ___18___. Unfortunately, while yawning may help you focus for some time, it is not a total cure to the tiredness you feel.   It’s easily spread. Sometimes, you might be yawning because you saw someone else do so. ___19___.   It’s a side effect. ___20___. A common one is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, a kind of medications usually used to treat anxiety or depression.  There exists an underlying issue. Excessive yawning is also associated with heart disease, disorder of the nervous system, liver failure or hypothyroidism. A. You need to slow down B. When you need to go to the doctor C. Watching anyone yawn causes a yawn in you D. So it makes you yawn in an attempt to cool it down E. Yawning can also be a byproduct of taking medications F. Some medicine is used by doctors to treat sleeplessness G. While it is considered a sign of tiredness, or in some cases, boredom 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. D 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了打哈欠这一生理现象可能背后的五种健康信息，包括大脑需要休息、疲劳、传染性、药物副作用以及潜在的健康问题等。 【16题详解】 根据空后“it is also viewed as a sign of disrespect in social gatherings. (但在社交场合中，它还可能被视作一种不尊重的举动。)”中的“also”可知，空处应先提及打哈欠在其他方面的看法。选项G“While it is considered a sign of tiredness, or in some cases, boredom (尽管它常被视为疲倦的表现，在某些情况下，也被当作无聊的象征)”是“while”引导的让步状语从句，指出打哈欠通常被视为疲倦或无聊的标志，与后文“also”衔接，说明打哈欠在社交场合还有被视为不尊重标志这一情况。故选G。 【17题详解】 空处为段首，为本段主要内容。根据下文“More specifically, your brain needs rest. Yawning moves hot blood from the brain and replaces it with cooler air from the lungs, which is why yawns are sometimes referred to as the body’s natural radiator system. (更确切地说，你的大脑需要休息。打哈欠能将大脑中的热血排出，并用肺部的冷空气取而代之，这就是为什么打哈欠有时被称为身体的天然散热系统。)”可知，本段强调身体需要休息。选项A“You need to slow down (你需要放慢节奏。)”表达需要放慢节奏，与大脑需要休息相呼应，符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Getting only a little sleep causes the brain temperature to increase. (睡眠不足会导致大脑温度升高。)”可知，睡眠少导致大脑温度升高。选项D“So it makes you yawn in an attempt to cool it down (因此身体试图通过打哈欠来降低大脑温度。)”表示因此会打哈欠试图降低大脑温度，与前文形成因果关系，解释了打哈欠的原因。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据空前“Sometimes, you might be yawning because you saw someone else do so. (有时，你打哈欠可能是因为看到别人打哈欠。)”可知，有时打哈欠是因为看到别人打哈欠。选项C“Watching anyone yawn causes a yawn in you (看到任何人打哈欠都会引发你自己打哈欠。)” 进一步说明看到任何人打哈欠都会引发自己打哈欠，对前文进行了补充说明。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据小标题“It’s a side effect. (这是一种副作用。)”可知，打哈欠是一种副作用；再根据下文“A common one is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, a kind of medications usually used to treat anxiety or depression. (一种常见的情况是选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂（SSRIs），这是一种通常用于治疗焦虑或抑郁症的药物。)”可知，打哈欠是一种副作用，且与药物有关。选项E“Yawning can also be a byproduct of taking medications. (打哈欠也可能是服用药物的副产品。)”指出打哈欠可能是服药的副产品，符合该段主题。故选E。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The social media comedian just turned 23.He’s nursing a broken heart, he’s searching for a new ___21___, and he’s just dropped a new single.  “Yeah, I’m going through a lot of ___22___ right now,” Chavez tells NPR, fanning himself on a recently extremely hot day in Los Angeles.  In the ___23___ expression of the online platform class that he’s part of, Chavez wants to be more famous, which he ___24___ with a laugh and a shy drop of his sunglasses.  Though influence has ___25___ remained the field of white content creators, Chavez is part of a developing Latinx community that’s diversifying the landscape while ___26___ millions of followers.

There was a good road for long distance. Then it branched off right and left. The trees grew taller, the bushes thicker and more twisted and they felt as if they were away off in a little world of their own. How nice it was! Birds came close overhead, and they saw several live squirrels. After gathering a great many flowers and eating lunch, and having had enough walking for a while, they began telling certain fairy stories in which the parties all lived out in the woods. The day wore along until afternoon, when the canyon began to grow dark very fast. “Do you think we’d better start home?”asked Addie.“I guess it’s early yet. But if you wish we might walk slowly down a little way”, said Gracie. With a show of some reluctance, Addie gathered her treasures together, and they started at a leisurely pace, which somehow was gradually accelerated without the apparent notice. These children had gone farther up the canyon than they had realized. The many charms had attracted them along and they didn’t feel tired for a long while. Suddenly, a low rumble was heard that increased and seemed to be rapidly coming in their direction. “It’s raining! Are there any caves?” “Only way up on the side.” “Let’s take hold of hands and run!” “We’d have to drop our flowers.” “I don’t care. Hurry!” Away they went, the wind driving the rain right in their faces. The pretty hats were dripping. The light pink dresses hung straight down, and their shoes were sopping wet. “Do you think our parents will come after us when they know it’s storming up here?” Addie began to cry. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They were about to leave the cave when a figure came into sight, calling their names. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Addie bagan to cry. “If it doesn’t stop raining, are we just going to have to spend the night here? I want to go home. I miss my mom and dad!”Tears like beads from the broken line , kept flowing down Addie’s cheeks. “Don’t be afraid! Maybe the rain will stop soon.” Cracie gave her a hug to comfort her. After taking off their wet hats and shoes, the two girls sat quietly in the cave side by side, waiting for the rain to stop anxiously. After a while, it cleared up. They were about to leave the cave when a figure came into sight, calling their names. “Daddy!” Hearing the voice they were familiar with, they got up immediately and rushed to the mouth of the cave,without putting on their shoes. Sure enough, their dad came! The two girls hugged their dad joyfully and said in a frightened voice, “We will never be separated from you again.” “Honey, dad is here! I am also worried about you! Never can you go so far without parents!” They nodded non-stop and went home happily along with their father. 【解析】 【分析】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了Addie and Gracie两个女孩在没有父母的陪伴下独自到峡谷游玩，中途恰逢下雨，无奈又担心地躲在山洞里躲雨，最后被父母找到的经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Addie开始哭。”可知，第一段可描写Addie害怕，很担心而Gracie安慰她的情景。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们正要离开洞穴，这时一个人影出现了，正在叫他们的名字。”可知，第二段可描写家长找到这两个小女孩以及她们和家长平安回家。 2.续写线索：Addie哭——Gracie安慰——一起等待——雨停——被找到——平安回家 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①哭：cry/tears keep flowing down ②抱某人：give sb. a hug/hug sb. ③散步：go out for a pleasant walk/start out for a walk/walk for a while/walk slowlye down a little way 情绪类 ①高兴的：pleasant/joyful/happy ②担忧的：afraid/anxious/worried 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Here’s our pick of Greece’s best hikes for you. Delphi to Kirra Walk, Central Greece 14 kilometers, 5-6 hours. This 14-kilometer downhill hike follows a centuries-old pathway from historic Delphi to the ancient port of Kirra, just east of modern Itea on the southern coast of mainland Greece. Going along the edge of the village of Crissa, it goes to the gulf through Greece’s largest olive garden. After your hike, lunch or a swim, you can return to Delphi by bus. Hike to the Tomb of Kleobolus, Rhodes 5 kilometers, 2 hours. An easy and enjoyable 5-kilometer round-trip hike escapes Lindos to reach the so-called Tomb of Kleobolus. Starting alongside Car Park 1 above the main beach, the route ends at a rocky hill topped by a circular tomb actually built during the 2nd century BC. Hike to Samariá Gorge Crete 16 kilometers, 6-7 hours. Hiking the 16-kilometer Samariá Gorge is considered one of Crete’s must-do experiences. There is the undeniable raw beauty of Samariá Gorge, where vertical walls rise up to 500 meters and are just 3.5 meters apart at the narrowest point. Mt Ohi Summit Hike, Evia 8 kilometers, 3-4 hours. The summit of Mt Ohi, lesser-visited Evia’s third-highest peak, is capped with mysterious ancient dragon houses — 7th-century BC architecture, made from rocks weighing several tons. It’s possible to stay overnight at the 1,000-meter-high shelter and then hike up Mt Ohi to catch the wonderful sunrise, which makes for a magical experience. 1.

B An eight-year-old boy self-published a graphic novel about Christmas but never expected the book to attract a large fan base in the US and overseas. Dillon Helbig wrote the book, titled The Adventures of Dillon Helbig’s Christmas, because he “likes Christmas and decorations”. Dillon’s journey to getting it published is a pretty interesting story. During Christmas break, the second-grader penned the book and then added pictures. The book begins with Dillion himself decorating a Christmas tree. The star on top of the tree explodes, and then he is sucked into an entrance. Over just four days, the boy filled in 81 pages of a journal. Then he went to the local Ada Community Library with his mother. “He wanted to get his story out there so all the kids can read his adventures,” his mother said. He was unsure how to get his book on the library shelf, so he planned to follow the librarians. “There were a lot of librarians,” Dillon said, but he successfully slid his book onto a children’s picture-book shelf. One of the librarians found it. And he said, “Oh, this is kind of interesting.” And he added it to the catalog. After secretly posting his book, Dillon’s graphic novel attracted fans. 56 people were on the waiting list to check it out by the end of January. The number has grown to 88 this week. Demand for Dillon’s graphic novel extends beyond the United States. One of the librarians received inquiries for the book from the Netherlands and Bangladesh. Dillon has wanted to publish a book since he was five. The library gave Dillon an award for “best young novelist”, which he does have a lot to be proud of. 4. What inspired Dillon to write the book? A. His desire to attract fans worldwide. B. His dream to win a literature award. C. His plan to add it to the library catalog. D. His interest in Christmas and decorations. 5. What can be learned about the book from the text? A. It is a very thick book. B. It was written by hand. C. It contains only pictures. D. It took three years to finish. 6. Why did Dillon go to the library with his mum? A. To share his book with other kids. B. To present his book to a librarian. C. To borrow a children’s picture book. D. To communicate with overseas readers. 7. Which word best describes Dillon? A. Cute. B. Brave. C. Talented. D. Humorous. C When put to the test, bees have proved over and over again that they’ve got a lot more to offer than pollinating (授粉), making honey and being loyal to a queen. The industrious insects can count and alter their behavior when things seem difficult, and now some scientists say there’s proof that they also like to play. A study recently published in Animal Behavior suggests that bumblebees, when given the chance, like to fool around with toys. Researchers from Queen Mary University of London conducted an experiment in which they set up a container that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could opt to pass through a separate section with a few of small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly, despite no apparent motivation to do so. The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with lifeless objects as a form of play. Also similar to people, younger bees seemed to be more playful than adult bees. “This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more sophisticated than we might imagine,” Lars Chittka, a professor of sensory and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary University of London, who led the study, said in a statement. “There are lots of animals who play just for the purposes of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals and birds,” said Chittka. The study’s first author, Samadi Galpayage, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, added that there is yet more evidence that insects may be capable of experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience some kind of positive emotional states. This sort of finding has implications to our understanding of feelings and welfare of insects and will, hopefully, encourage us to respect and protect life on Earth ever more,” she said in the statement. 8. What can we know about bees from a recent study? A. They can adapt to new situations. B. They are quite faithful to the queen. C. They are more intelligent than expected. D.

D If you’ve ever wondered where water on Earth comes from, new research on a meteorite (陨石) which landed in a family’s front yard in England last year may have just the answer. Researchers from London’s Natural History Museum and the University of Glasgow, in Scotland, studied the meteorite found in the town of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, discovering it contained water similar to that found on Earth. Published in the journal Science Advances, the study reveals that outer-space rocks may have brought vital chemical components such as water to our planet billions of years ago, establishing the oceans and all life on Earth. Imaging and chemical analysis of the Winchcombe meteorite revealed it contains around 11% water and 2% carbon by weight, making it the first of its kind found in the UK. The team, which measured the rate of hydrogen isotopes in the water, found that it closely resembled the composition of water on Earth. Recovered within 12 hours of its landing with the aid of the UK Fireball Alliance, an organization which aims to recover freshly-fallen meteorites in the UK, it had very little time to be altered by the Earth’s atmosphere. “We know this means everything inside it is 100% outer-space including the 11% water it contains,” Daly said. “Most meteorites have ‘Earth-like’ water but these rocks alter and degrade within days or weeks of being on Earth, and so they could just be Earth-like because they have absorbed rain water or something,” he explained. Daly called the Winchcombe meteorite a “lucky” find. It was only the size of a basketball, so if it was traveling at a different speed or at a different angle, it would have all burnt up, he said, adding that it was a great cooperation of the UK cosmochemistry network who “came together to throw the kitchen sink at studying this rock.” 12 What did the researchers find about the meteorite? A. It had absorbed some rain water. B. It landed in a family’s front yard. C. It changed the town of Winchcombe. D. It might reveal the origin of water on Earth. 13. How did the researchers analyse the meteorite? A. By calculating its weight. B. By studying its composition. C. By measuring its chemical stability. D. By comparing its resemblance with others. 14. Why does Daly mention “Earth-like” water of other meteorites? A. To suggest that there are more similar research findings. B. To demonstrate the universality of meteorites’ being polluted. C. To show the changeable feature of the Winchcombe meteorite. D To prove the water of the Winchcombe meteorite is outer-space. 15. Why is the Winchcombe meteorite regarded as a “lucky” find? A. It narrowly missed being burned. B. It won many British scientists’ heart. C. It came to the Earth at a perfect time. D. It landed in a very appropriate place. 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。 Yawning (打哈欠) is an involuntary act of opening the mouth and taking a deep breath of air which is then breathed out. ___16___ it is also viewed as a sign of disrespect in social gatherings.

There was a good road for long distance. Then it branched off right and left. The trees grew taller, the bushes thicker and more twisted and they felt as if they were away off in a little world of their own. How nice it was! Birds came close overhead, and they saw several live squirrels. After gathering a great many flowers and eating lunch, and having had enough walking for a while, they began telling certain fairy stories in which the parties all lived out in the woods. The day wore along until afternoon, when the canyon began to grow dark very fast. “Do you think we’d better start home?”asked Addie.“I guess it’s early yet. But if you wish we might walk slowly down a little way”, said Gracie. With a show of some reluctance, Addie gathered her treasures together, and they started at a leisurely pace, which somehow was gradually accelerated without the apparent notice. These children had gone farther up the canyon than they had realized. The many charms had attracted them along and they didn’t feel tired for a long while. Suddenly, a low rumble was heard that increased and seemed to be rapidly coming in their direction. “It’s raining! Are there any caves?” “Only way up on the side.” “Let’s take hold of hands and run!” “We’d have to drop our flowers.” “I don’t care. Hurry!” Away they went, the wind driving the rain right in their faces. The pretty hats were dripping. The light pink dresses hung straight down, and their shoes were sopping wet. “Do you think our parents will come after us when they know it’s storming up here?” Addie began to cry. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They were about to leave the cave when a figure came into sight, calling their names. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案:1-20 BACAB CBABA BCCAB CCAAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
