二、阅读理解
i.第一节 阅读单选
A
Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Gold-diggers had found gold in northwest Canada, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work for them in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck had lived in Mr. Miller’s house for four years since he was born. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many other dogs, but they lived together in the kennels (狗舍), or inside the house. But Buck was neither a house dog nor a kennel dog. He was king—king over the whole of Mr. Miller’s lands. He went swimming with Mr. Miller’s sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr. Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter.
This was 1897 when the discovery of gold brought men from everywhere to northwest Canada for gold-digging. But Buck did not read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr. Miller’s farmers, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr. Miller was away on business, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only a strange man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.
Buck growled. Gradually it was hard for him to breathe when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man in anger. The man caught Buck and forced him to lie on his back. For a few moments he was unable to move. When the train arrived, the two men threw him into the train...

①Some people decide to stop eating meat and begin to accept a vegan (素食) diet because of health reasons. This way of eating avoids all animal products, including meat, fish, milk, eggs and even honey.
②Making the change can be a challenge for people who often have dairy and meat in their diet, according to Dena Champion, a dietitian, an expert on diet and nutrition (营养学), from Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She added that starting a vegan diet could change your body in certain ways. It might even offer some health benefits.
Reduced body weight
③Instead of high-fat proteins like bacon and beef, vegans get their protein from plant-based sources such as tofu. beans, soy milk, and so on. “This can lead to losing weight. Considering that two-thirds of Americans are overweight, this can have a positive effect on body shape and health”, says Kailey Proctor, a dietitian at St. Joseph Hospital in California.
Improved blood sugar control
④Because being overweight is a major risk for developing diabetes (糖尿病), losing weight can lower that risk. There was one study from some experts published in the magazine Nutrients in 2018. The experts chose some overweight people with no history of diabetes to switch to a vegan diet. Then they followed them for 16 weeks. Improvements and better effects are seen in those people in controlling blood sugar levels.
Reduced cancer risk
⑤There’s also the chance to reduce your risk of developing cancer. “vegan diets, when planned correctly, are also very high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These plant-based foods have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer.” says Proctor. We should always focus on consuming whole, fresh foods as much as possible. It’s important to make sure you’re getting enough nutrients for your health.
16. Which one belongs to a vegan diet?
A. Meat, fish, milk. B. Eggs, honey, soy milk. C. Tofu, beans, milk. D. Tofu, beans, soy milk.

①A new study shows that roosters (公鸡) can identify (辨认) themselves in a mirror. The surprising result raises questions not just about how smart roosters are, but about how scientists test animal intelligence.
②Scientists use Mark Test to test whether an animal can identify itself. First of all, a mark is put on an animal, usually in a place that can only be seen with a mirror. Then the animal is placed before a mirror. If it seems to pay attention to the mark, scientists believe the animal has identified itself.
③The Mark Test is often seen as a good way to learn how smart an animals is. ▲ Scientists at a university in Germany recently ran the Mark Test on roosters. They put a pink mark on the chest of the roosters. But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark.
④So the scientists tried a new test by using the shadow (阴影) of hawk (鹰) to see whether or not the rooster thought it was alone. Roosters may make loud calls to warn nearby chickens when a hawk flies above. If they’re alone, they remain quiet.
⑤First, the scientists helped the roosters get used to being in a closed-in space and having a mirror around. After some time, they took the mirror out and ran several tests by making a hawk shadow appear above the bird and watching how it reacted.
⑥When there was no mirror, the roosters reacted as usual. They called out when they were near another rooster, but remained quiet after the other rooster was taken out by the scientists.
⑦Then, the mirror was put back. When a rooster could see itself in the mirror, it remained silent even with the hawk shadow above it. Later, the scientists put the other rooster behind the mirror. It still didn’t make any sound.
⑧The results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the mirror, and not other roosters. That shows that the Mark Test may not be a good test of whether an animal can identify itself.
⑨The scientists hope their results will encourage other scientists to look for better ways of testing how smart animals are. It may turn out that some kinds of animals are more intelligent than people though.
21. What is the first step for the scientists to do the Mark Test?
A. Paying attention to a mark. B. Putting a mark on animal.
C. Feeding an animal some food. D. Placing an animal before a mirror.
22. Which of the following can be put in ▲ in paragraph 3?
A. As a result, they need a better way.
B. However, some scientists did another test on roosters.
C. Until recently, only one kind of bird had passed the test.
D. But some scientists believe it doesn’t work well for all animals.
23. According to paragraphs ⑤-⑦, which of the following shows the correct order of the second test?
A. b-a-e-c-d B. b-e-a-c-d C. a-b-d-e-c D. a-e-b-d-c
24. What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Intelligence of Roosters
B. The Mark Test: A Perfect Way to Test Animal Intelligence
C. Roosters in the Mirror Challenging Traditional Tests
D. How Roosters React to Mirrors and Shadows
25. Which part of the magazine is the passage most probably from?
A. Animal World B. Quiz Time C. Science Discovery D. Book Review

①A new study shows that roosters (公鸡) can identify (辨认) themselves in a mirror. The surprising result raises questions not just about how smart roosters are, but about how scientists test animal intelligence.
②Scientists use Mark Test to test whether an animal can identify itself. First of all, a mark is put on an animal, usually in a place that can only be seen with a mirror. Then the animal is placed before a mirror. If it seems to pay attention to the mark, scientists believe the animal has identified itself.
③The Mark Test is often seen as a good way to learn how smart an animals is. ▲ Scientists at a university in Germany recently ran the Mark Test on roosters. They put a pink mark on the chest of the roosters. But when the roosters looked in a mirror they didn’t seem to notice the mark.
④So the scientists tried a new test by using the shadow (阴影) of hawk (鹰) to see whether or not the rooster thought it was alone. Roosters may make loud calls to warn nearby chickens when a hawk flies above. If they’re alone, they remain quiet.
⑤First, the scientists helped the roosters get used to being in a closed-in space and having a mirror around. After some time, they took the mirror out and ran several tests by making a hawk shadow appear above the bird and watching how it reacted.
⑥When there was no mirror, the roosters reacted as usual. They called out when they were near another rooster, but remained quiet after the other rooster was taken out by the scientists.
⑦Then the mirror was put back. When a rooster could see itself in the mirror, it remained silent even with the hawk shadow above it. Later, the scientists put the other rooster behind the mirror. It still didn’t make any sound.
⑧The results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the mirror and not other roosters. That shows that the Mark Test may not be a good test of whether an animal can identify itself.
⑨The scientists hope their results will encourage other scientists to look for better ways of testing how smart animals are. It may turn out that some kinds of animals are more intelligent than people though.
21. What is the first step for the scientists to do the Mark Test?
A. Paying attention to a mark. B. Putting a mark on animal.
C. Feeding an animal some food. D. Placing an animal before a mirror.
22. Which of the following can be put in ▲ in paragraph 3?
A. As a result, they need a better way.
B. However, some scientists did another test on roosters.
C. Until recently, only one kind of bird had passed the test.
D. But some scientists believe it doesn’t work well for all animals.
23. According to paragraphs ⑤-⑦, which of the following shows the correct order of the second test?
A. b-a-e-c-d B. b-e-a-c-d C. a-b-d-e-c D. a-e-b-d-c
24. What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Intelligence of Roosters
B. The Mark Test: A Perfect Way to Test Animal Intelligence
C. Roosters in the Mirror Challenging Traditional Tests
D. How Roosters React to Mirrors and Shadows
25. Which part of the magazine is the passage most probably from?

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Scientists use Mark Test to test whether an animal can identify itself. First of all, a mark is put on an animal, usually in a place that can only be seen with a mirror.”可知首先,在动物身上做一个标记,通常标记在只有通过镜子才能看到的位置。故选B。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The Mark Test is often seen as a good way to learn how smart an animals is.…Scientists at a university in Germany recently ran the Mark Test on roosters…But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark.”讲到了一种标记测试,但随后作者提到鸡并没有察觉到标记,此处应当用转折来说明标记测试并不适用于所有动物。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“First, the scientists helped the roosters get used to being in a closed-in space and having a mirror around…When there was no mirror, the roosters reacted as usual. They called out when they were near another rooster, but remained quiet after the other rooster was taken out by the scientists. Then, the mirror was put back. When a rooster could see itself in the mirror, it remained silent even with the hawk shadow above it. Later, the scientists put the other rooster behind the mirror. It still didn’t make any sound.”可知首先,科学家们帮助公鸡适应了一个封闭的空间,并在周围放置了镜子,即(b);当没有镜子时,公鸡的反应如常。当它们靠近另一只公鸡时,它们会发出叫声即(a);但在科学家将另一只公鸡带走后,它们保持安静,即(e);然后,镜子被重新放置,当公鸡能在镜子中看到自己时,即使鹰的影子在它上方,它也保持沉默,即(c);随后,科学家们将另一只公鸡放在镜子后面,它仍然没有发出任何声音,即(d)。因此b-a-e-c-d的顺序最符合实验的正确步骤,故选A。
【24题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“A new study shows that roosters (公鸡) can identify (辨认) themselves in a mirror. The surprising result raises questions not just about how smart roosters are, but about how scientists test animal intelligence…The Mark Test is often seen as a good way to learn how smart an animals is…But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark.”可知本文讲述了一项新研究表明,公鸡能够在镜子中辨认出自己。这一令人惊讶的结果不仅引发了关于公鸡有多聪明的问题,还引发了关于科学家如何测试动物智力的思考。因此文章主要讨论了公鸡在镜子前的行为如何挑战传统测试方法,最佳标题是“镜子中的公鸡:挑战传统测试”,故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。文章内容关于公鸡在镜子前的行为以及测试方法,最有可能出现在科学探索类的杂志中,故选C。
