Hamza Yassin, a naturalist, conservationist and wildlife cameraman, has written a book called Hamza’s Wild World, which shares his passion (热爱) for wildlife and also his experiences with dyslexia, a condition that affects the way a person learns. His new book has a dyslexic-friendly layout, full of fun animal photos, so all children can find out about the natural world.
For Hamza Yassin, being in nature is about letting your imagination run free. From a young age, Yassin has been exploring the wonders of nature. At 12 years old, Yassin got his first camera, and he now keeps a camera with him all the time. “It’s part of me,” he says.
Yassin didn’t follow the usual route to becoming a cameraman, though. Instead of trying for a job doing research for documentary films, for his dyslexia made that difficult, he moved to the Scottish Highlands to be close to nature.
Yassin says the key to filming or photographing animals is, “understanding the wildlife, getting eye-level with it and having a connection with them”. He says it doesn’t matter what sort of camera you have. “Cameras are not as important as you think,” he says, adding that it’s about how close to nature you can get. To do this, you need to gain some knowledge of what you’re taking a photo of. “Knowledge is power,” he says.
Now that he’s doing “the best job ever”, Yassin says he doesn’t feel like he’s working because “I get paid to go and do the thing that I love the most, my hobby.” Now, Yassin hopes to inspire the next generation with his work. “Being where I am and having the ability to share my love of the natural world with people—that’s what it’s all about,” he says.
4. Which of the following best describes Hamza’s Wid World?
A. Scientific. B. Humorous. C. Understandable. D. Confusing.
5. Why did Hamza Yassin choose an unusual career path?
A. He wanted to be different. B. He liked staying outdoors.
C. He lacked work experience. D. He had difficulty in learning.
6. What matters most in filming wildlife according to Hamza Yassin?
A. Photography techniques. B. The type of camera used.
C. Natural talents in science. D. Closeness to wild animals.
7. Why does Hamza Yassin consider his job “the best job ever”?
A. It allows him to express love for nature. B. It encourages the following generation.
C. It connects his passion with profession. D. It ensures him a large amount of fortune.
C
Dolphins love to play around, doing things like surfing, playing with stuff, and running after each other. However, have you ever been to a wildlife park and seen dolphins opening their mouths wide? Researchers uncovered that dolphins use the “open mouth” facial expression to show their cheerfulness, instead of attack.
Other animals use their faces to show they want to play, but it wasn’t known if sea creatures do the same thing. This led the team to carry out this study. They recorded videos of 22 dolphins that lived at two wildlife parks. The dolphins were recorded when they were playing in pairs, playing with their human trainers and playing on their own.
During the 80 hours of video footage, the scientists counted 1,288 times when the dolphins used the “smile” expression. The team said 92% of those happened when dolphins were playing with each other. They seldom used the expression when they were playing on their own or with humans. Nearly 90% of the expressions happened when a dolphin could see their playmate’s face. If other dolphins spotted their “smile”, they returned the expression around a third of the time. Elisabetta Palagi, a biologist, said that the relaxed open mouth “is a universal sign of playfulness, helping animals and us signal fun and avoid misunderstanding”.
The research focused on dolphins in parks. Those living in the wild could behave differently when playing. It’s possible that while playing in more open spaces, dolphins might prefer to communicate using sounds instead of facial expressions. “Future research should study eye-tracking to explore how dolphins see their world and take advantage of acoustic signals (声学信号) in their communication during play,” added Livio Favaro, a co-author and zoologist, in the press.
This research throws light on the unique communication skills used by these intelligent sea creatures as well as the importance of facial expressions to set the right intentions (意图).
8. What does an “open mouth” in dolphins indicate according to the researchers?
A. A sign of attack. B. A desire to bite.
C. An expression of joy. D. An intention to escape.
9. What research method did the researchers use?
A. Making a comparison. B. Analyzing cause and effect.
C. Doing experiments in labs. D. Reviewing previous studies.
10. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Dolphins in different areas behave similarly.
B Future research would include wild dolphins.
C. Eye-tracking was widely used in this research.
D. Dolphins prefer to use sounds to communicate.
11. What is the most suitable title of this passage?
A. Dolphins in Parks “Smile” More.
B. Dolphins “Smile” While Playing.
C. Dolphins Copy Each Other to Smile.
D. Dolphins Behave Better When Alone.

Cui Lili, director of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics’ Institute of E-commerce, said that Chinese online traders should learn more about related laws, regulations and quality standards in these countries, and make products that meet local requirements.

Bella liked walking home at her own pace instead of having to move quick-quick-quick. There was so much to see!
Outside one house, a man with fluffy white hair like Grandpa was watering a rosebush. A few houses later, a boy was drawing with chalk on the driveway. He looked up and smiled at Bella. Two doors away from Bella’s house, a woman was playing with a baby in the stroller (婴儿车).
“Hello,” she said, smiling. “I met you and your mom last week when you moved in. I’m Mrs. Rodan, but I can’t remember your name.” Bella said her name. Then she looked down at the baby. “What’s his name?” she asked. “This is Finn,” said Mrs. Rodan. “He loves stroller rides. Maybe we’ll see you again tomorrow.”
Every afternoon, Bella walked home from the bus stop. She soon knew all her neighbors. Bella’s favorite neighbors were the Rodans. Mrs. Rodan liked to talk. Bella learned that Mr. Rodan worked far away for the U.S. Army and wouldn’t be home until spring.
But one day when Bella reached the Rodans’ house, they weren’t outside. Maybe they went somewhere, she thought. Maybe they went to the library. Finn liked books. But they weren’t outside the next day either. Or the day after that.
Bella hurried home, calling, “Mom!”
Mom came out, “What’s going on, honey?”
“I haven’t seen the Rodans for three days. Can we go check on them?”
“They probably changed their routine,” Mom said.
“But they’re my friends,” Bella insisted. “Please?”
Bella and Mom walked to their house and rang the bell.
Mrs. Rodan opened the door with Finn crying in her arms. “Bella, what a surprise!” Mrs. Rodan exclaimed (惊呼), looking tired with dark circles under her eyes and a coffee spot on her shirt. Everything was in a mess. There was a bandage (绷带) around her ankle too.

Hamza Yassin, a naturalist, conservationist and wildlife cameraman, has written a book called Hamza’s Wild World, which shares his passion (热爱) for wildlife and also his experiences with dyslexia, a condition that affects the way a person learns. His new book has a dyslexic-friendly layout, full of fun animal photos, so all children can find out about the natural world.
For Hamza Yassin, being in nature is about letting your imagination run free. From a young age, Yassin has been exploring the wonders of nature. At 12 years old, Yassin got his first camera, and he now keeps a camera with him all the time. “It’s part of me,” he says.
Yassin didn’t follow the usual route to becoming a cameraman, though. Instead of trying for a job doing research for documentary films, for his dyslexia made that difficult, he moved to the Scottish Highlands to be close to nature.
Yassin says the key to filming or photographing animals is, “understanding the wildlife, getting eye-level with it and having a connection with them”. He says it doesn’t matter what sort of camera you have. “Cameras are not as important as you think,” he says, adding that it’s about how close to nature you can get. To do this, you need to gain some knowledge of what you’re taking a photo of. “Knowledge is power,” he says.
Now that he’s doing “the best job ever”, Yassin says he doesn’t feel like he’s working because “I get paid to go and do the thing that I love the most, my hobby.” Now, Yassin hopes to inspire the next generation with his work. “Being where I am and having the ability to share my love of the natural world with people—that’s what it’s all about,” he says.
4. Which of the following best describes Hamza’s Wid World?
A. Scientific. B. Humorous. C. Understandable. D. Confusing.
5. Why did Hamza Yassin choose an unusual career path?
A. He wanted to be different. B. He liked staying outdoors.
C. He lacked work experience. D. He had difficulty in learning.
6. What matters most in filming wildlife according to Hamza Yassin?
A. Photography techniques. B. The type of camera used.
C. Natural talents in science. D. Closeness to wild animals.
7. Why does Hamza Yassin consider his job “the best job ever”?
A. It allows him to express love for nature. B. It encourages the following generation.
C. It connects his passion with profession. D. It ensures him a large amount of fortune.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. C

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“His new book has a dyslexic-friendly layout, full of fun animal photos, so all children can find out about the natural world.(他的新书采用了对阅读障碍者友好的版式,书中充满了有趣的动物照片,因此所有的孩子都能了解自然界。)”可知,Hamza Yassin的新书采用了对阅读障碍者友好的布局,充满了有趣的动物照片,因此所有的孩子都能了解自然界。由此可以推断出,这本书的内容是容易理解的。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Instead of trying for a job doing research for documentary films, for his dyslexia made that difficult, he moved to the Scottish Highlands to be close to nature.(他没有去找一份为纪录片做研究的工作,因为他患有阅读障碍,所以很难找到这份工作,而是搬到了苏格兰高地,去接近大自然。)”可知,Hamza Yassin选择了不同寻常的职业道路是因为他患有阅读障碍即他在学习上有困难。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Yassin says the key to filming or photographing animals is, ‘understanding the wildlife, getting eye-level with it and having a connection with them’.( Yassin说,拍摄动物照片或视频的关键是“了解野生动物,与它们平视,并和它们建立联系。”)”以及““Cameras are not as important as you think,” he says, adding that it’s about how close to nature you can get. (“相机并不像你想象的那么重要,”他说,并补充说,这是关于你能多接近自然。)”可知,Yassin说拍摄动物的关键是了解野生动物,与它们处于同一视线水平并与它们建立联系,同时他指出相机并不如所想的那么重要,关键在于有多能接近自然。由此可知,在拍摄野生动物时,最重要的是与野生动物的亲近程度。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Now that he’s doing “the best job ever”, Yassin says he doesn’t feel like he’s working because “I get paid to go and do the thing that I love the most, my hobby.” (既然他现在正在做“有史以来最好的工作”,Yassin说,他并不觉得自己在工作,因为“我做着自己最喜欢的事情,也就是我的爱好,而且还因此获得报酬。”)”可知,Yassin说他感觉自己不像是在工作,因为这是在做他最喜欢的事情,既能满足自己的爱好,又能拿到报酬。由此推知,他的工作与他的兴趣(对自然的热爱)完全结合在一起,这就是为什么他认为这是“the best job ever”。故选C。
C
Dolphins love to play around, doing things like surfing, playing with stuff, and running after each other. However, have you ever been to a wildlife park and seen dolphins opening their mouths wide? Researchers uncovered that dolphins use the “open mouth” facial expression to show their cheerfulness, instead of attack.
Other animals use their faces to show they want to play, but it wasn’t known if sea creatures do the same thing. This led the team to carry out this study. They recorded videos of 22 dolphins that lived at two wildlife parks. The dolphins were recorded when they were playing in pairs, playing with their human trainers and playing on their own.
During the 80 hours of video footage, the scientists counted 1,288 times when the dolphins used the “smile” expression. The team said 92% of those happened when dolphins were playing with each other. They seldom used the expression when they were playing on their own or with humans. Nearly 90% of the expressions happened when a dolphin could see their playmate’s face. If other dolphins spotted their “smile”, they returned the expression around a third of the time. Elisabetta Palagi, a biologist, said that the relaxed open mouth “is a universal sign of playfulness, helping animals and us signal fun and avoid misunderstanding”.
The research focused on dolphins in parks. Those living in the wild could behave differently when playing. It’s possible that while playing in more open spaces, dolphins might prefer to communicate using sounds instead of facial expressions. “Future research should study eye-tracking to explore how dolphins see their world and take advantage of acoustic signals (声学信号) in their communication during play,” added Livio Favaro, a co-author and zoologist, in the press.
This research throws light on the unique communication skills used by these intelligent sea creatures as well as the importance of facial expressions to set the right intentions (意图).
8. What does an “open mouth” in dolphins indicate according to the researchers?
A. A sign of attack. B. A desire to bite.
C. An expression of joy. D. An intention to escape.
9. What research method did the researchers use?
A. Making a comparison. B. Analyzing cause and effect.
C. Doing experiments in labs. D. Reviewing previous studies.
10. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Dolphins in different areas behave similarly.
B. Future research would include wild dolphins.
C. Eye-tracking was widely used in this research.
D. Dolphins prefer to use sounds to communicate.
11. What is the most suitable title of this passage?
A. Dolphins in Parks “Smile” More.
B. Dolphins “Smile” While Playing.
C. Dolphins Copy Each Other to Smile.
D. Dolphins Behave Better When Alone.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B

The dolphins were recorded when they were playing in pairs, playing with their human trainers and playing on their own.(其他动物会用面部表情来表示它们想要玩耍,但之前并不清楚海洋生物是否也会这样做。这促使研究团队进行了这项研究。他们记录了生活在两个野生动物公园的22只海豚的视频。这些海豚在成对玩耍、与人类训练师玩耍以及独自玩耍时都被记录下来)”可推知,研究人员是通过对比其他动物和海洋生物的行为来进行研究的。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The research focused on dolphins in parks. Those living in the wild could behave differently when playing. It’s possible that while playing in more open spaces, dolphins might prefer to communicate using sounds instead of facial expressions.(这项研究主要集中在公园里的海豚。那些生活在野外的海豚在玩耍时可能会有不同的行为。在更开阔的空间玩耍时,海豚可能会更喜欢使用声音而不是面部表情进行交流)”以及“Future research should study eye-tracking to explore how dolphins see their world and take advantage of acoustic signals (声学信号) in their communication during play,(未来的研究应该研究眼动追踪,以探索海豚如何看待它们的世界,以及在玩耍时如何利用声学信号进行交流)”可推知,未来的研究会包括野生海豚。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其第一段中“Researchers uncovered that dolphins use the “open mouth” facial expression to show their cheerfulness, instead of attack.(研究人员发现,海豚使用“张嘴”的面部表情来表达它们的快乐,而不是攻击)”以及最后一段“This research throws light on the unique communication skills used by these intelligent sea creatures as well as the importance of facial expressions to set the right intentions (意图).(这项研究揭示了这些聪明的海洋生物所使用的独特交流技巧,以及面部表情在设定正确意图方面的重要性)”可知,。全文主要讨论了研究人员对海豚“微笑”表情的研究发现,特别是在玩耍时这种表情的使用情况及其意义,B选项“Dolphins “Smile” While Playing.(海豚在玩耍时“微笑”)”准确反映了文章的核心内容和研究重点,是文章的最佳标题。故选B。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:上海中心大厦,于2015年建成,是中国最高的建筑,世界第三高的建筑。句中is为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词;complete与逻辑主语Shanghai Tower构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填completed。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:由于它扭曲的形状,它似乎在移动。结合句意表示“由于,因为”可知短语为with+名词。句首单词首字母要大写。故填With。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:北京国家大剧院形似一枚从湖中升起的巨大蛋壳,而徐州的一座音乐厅则宛如一朵木棉花,木棉花是这座城市的一张名片。设空处使用动词作谓语,句子陈述客观事实用一般现在时,主语为Beijing’s National Center,谓语动词用第三人称单数,其与shape之间是被动关系,故使用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is shaped。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词 the crape myrtle plant,先行词在从句中作定语,修饰名词flower,故用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在艺术史学家南希·沙特兹曼·斯坦哈特的《中国现代建筑》一书中,她展示了这些新建筑是19世纪开始的一个故事的最新篇章,当时上海出现了大量花哨的西式建筑。story为可数名词,此处表泛指应用不定冠词,且story是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用a。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。设空处使用explode的名词explosion作表语。故填explosion。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:1935年,中国20世纪的领军人物之一杨廷宝设计的南京大华电影院,中西风格的融合令人印象深刻。设空处使用副词作状语,修饰动词mix。故填impressively。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:北京朝阳公园广场是一个由10栋建筑组成的项目,其设计灵感来自中国传统山水画。修饰名词Chinese landscape paintings应用形容词traditional,作定语。故填traditional。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这两座高大的黑色塔楼与山顶相似,将丰富的现代感与高科技设施相结合——它们玻璃表面的鳍片提供了节能通风,而底部的池塘不仅反射建筑,还能冷却建筑内部的空气。top为可数名词,由前文的two tall dark towers可知应用复数形式。故填tops。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意:同上。设空处使用they的宾格them作宾语。故填them。

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Bella liked walking home at her own pace instead of having to move quick-quick-quick. There was so much to see!
Outside one house, a man with fluffy white hair like Grandpa was watering a rosebush. A few houses later, a boy was drawing with chalk on the driveway. He looked up and smiled at Bella. Two doors away from Bella’s house, a woman was playing with a baby in the stroller (婴儿车).
“Hello,” she said, smiling. “I met you and your mom last week when you moved in. I’m Mrs. Rodan, but I can’t remember your name.” Bella said her name. Then she looked down at the baby. “What’s his name?” she asked. “This is Finn,” said Mrs. Rodan. “He loves stroller rides. Maybe we’ll see you again tomorrow.”
Every afternoon, Bella walked home from the bus stop. She soon knew all her neighbors. Bella’s favorite neighbors were the Rodans. Mrs. Rodan liked to talk. Bella learned that Mr. Rodan worked far away for the U.S. Army and wouldn’t be home until spring.
But one day when Bella reached the Rodans’ house, they weren’t outside. Maybe they went somewhere, she thought. Maybe they went to the library. Finn liked books. But they weren’t outside the next day either. Or the day after that.
Bella hurried home, calling, “Mom!”
Mom came out, “What’s going on, honey?”
“I haven’t seen the Rodans for three days. Can we go check on them?”
“They probably changed their routine,” Mom said.
“But they’re my friends,” Bella insisted. “Please?”
Bella and Mom walked to their house and rang the bell.
Mrs. Rodan opened the door with Finn crying in her arms. “Bella, what a surprise!” Mrs. Rodan exclaimed (惊呼), looking tired with dark circles under her eyes and a coffee spot on her shirt. Everything was in a mess. There was a bandage (绷带) around her ankle too.
注意:
1.续写词数应为80词左右;

We can help you.” Bella and her mother then got started. While Mom was bustling about in the house, sweat dripping, Bella was reading stories to Finn. Everything was settled. Holding Bella’s hand gratefully, Mrs. Rodan said, “Thank you! ”A simple act of kindness brought warmth to a struggling mother, for a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved.
