Many people love animals, but only a few really work hard to care for and protect them. British zoologist Jane Goodall is such an example.
Born in 1934, Goodall had a natural love for animals as a child. At 10, she read Tarzan of the ages (《人猿泰山》) for the first time while up in a tree. This made her fall in love with the wonderful land of Africa, dreaming of studying the chimpanzee (黑猩猩) there.
At 26, Goodall finally made it to Tanzania and walked into the little-known world of wild chimpanzee. At first, Goodall got sick from the weather and bug bates there. Also, the chimps didn’t trust her and were very wary, trying to keep away from this stranger. Still she tried to get over these problems. She watched them quietly and patiently from far away. After months of long and hard work, the chimps got used to her being around.
Later, Goodall found something that surprised the world — chimps make and use tools (工具)! Before this, people thought only humans could do such things. Goodall also found that chimps have their own social relationships. For example, they may decide leaders and followers, just like humans. Moreover, some chimps were shy and some were outgoing. Sometimes, Goodall even saw chimps fighting with each other.
Besides studying chimps, she also started a group called the Jane Goodall Institute to protect (保护) them. The group does many things like protecting forests, stopping hunting, and teaching local people how to care for chimps.
Today, the 90-year-old woman still travels around the world, speaking about the dangers chimpanzee are facing and other environmental problems.
31. What started Goodall’s interest in chimpanzee?
A. The book she read as a child. B. A film named Tarzan of the ages.
C. Her love for nature and animals. D. Her early experiences with animals.
32. The underlined word “wary” is close to ________
A. angry B. friendly C. careful D. excited
33. It’s clear that Goodall ________
A. won fame and got lots of prices B. failed to make the chimpanzee accept her
C. found chimpanzee are the same as humans D. helped people understand chimpanzee better
34. Why does Goodall still travel around the world today?
A. To call on people to protect the earth. B. To collect more information for her study.
C. To experience different cultures in the world. D. To study other wild animals instead of chimps.
35. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Life of Jane Goodall B. Jane Goodall and Her chimpanzee
C. The Action of Saving Animals D. chimpanzee and Their World
【答案】31. A 32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B

细节理解题。根据“Goodall also found that chimps have their own social relationships. For example, they may decide leaders and followers, just like humans. Moreover, some chimps were shy and some were outgoing. Sometimes, Goodall even saw chimps fighting with each other.”可知,Goodall发现黑猩猩有自己的社会关系,有些黑猩猩害羞,有些外向,有时还会互相打架,这表明她帮助人们更好地了解黑猩猩。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Today, the 90- year-old woman still travels around the world, speaking about the dangers chimpanzee are facing and other environmental problems.”可知,她仍然环游世界是为了呼吁人们保护地球,保护黑猩猩和其他环境问题。故选A。

Robots and humans can work together as a team, but this brings both good and bad for teamwork. A recent study found that when people work with robots, they might not try as hard or stay as focused.
In the study, two groups of people were asked to check circuit boards (电路板) for mistakes. The first group was told a robot named Panda had already checked the boards. They could see and hear Panda when they worked. The second group had to check alone.
At first, it seemed like Panda’s presence didn’t make a difference. Both groups spent the same time checking the boards and found a similar number of mistakes. However, the first group found fewer mistakes later on. This could mean that they depended (依赖) too much on the robot and didn’t pay as much attention. They believed that Panda wouldn’t miss any mistakes.
_________ In the study, people found out fewer mistakes when working with the robot. So in longer work periods, especially when tasks are boring and there in much super vision (监管), workers are probably unable to stay focused. This could be dangerous, especially in jobs where double-checking is important for safety.
To understand the problem better, the scientists suggested doing studies in real work places with skilled workers who often work with robots. This would give us a clearer picture of how attention changes while working with robots.
36. What’s the function (功能) of Paragraph 1?
A. To share a story. B. To introduce the topic. C. To discuss robots. D. To describe a study.
37. The first group found fewer mistakes later because________
A. they were more focused B. they were less experienced
C. they trusted Panda too much D. they worked faster than the other group.
38. Which of the following can be put in ________?
A. Robots might take humans’ place. B. This could lead to safety problems.
C. However, robots are not so smart. D. There is still a long journey for robots.
39. The study shows us that ________
A. humans don’t take safety seriously B. checking things twice is always important
C. humans shouldn’t depend on robots too much D. robots are hard-working while humans are lazy
40. What would the writer write about after the last paragraph?
A. How to make robots much smarter. B. How to stop workers from feeling sleepy.
C. More examples of people making mistakes. D. The results of further studies in real work places.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. B 39. C 40. D

细节理解题。根据第三段“This could mean that they depended too much on the robot and didn't pay as much attention. They believed that Panda wouldn’t miss any mistakes.”可知,第一组后来发现错误变少因为他们过度依赖机器人,认为机器人不会遗漏任何错误。故选C。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段下文“In the study, people found out fewer mistakes when working with the robot. So in longer work periods, especially when tasks are boring and there in much super vision, workers are probably unable to stay focused.”可知,在更长的工作时间中,特别是在任务无聊且监管不足的情况下,工人可能无法保持专注,这可能导致安全问题;因此,此处需要填入一个与安全问题相关的句子;选项B“这可能导致安全问题。”符合语境。故选B。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A recent study found that when people work with robots, they might not try as hard or stay as focused.”可知,文章通过研究表明人类在与机器人合作时会过度依赖机器人,导致注意力不集中,从而影响工作质量;据此可以推断,人类不应该过度依赖机器人。故选C。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段提到科学家建议在实际工作场所对经常与机器人合作的熟练工人进行研究,以更好地理解问题;据此可以推断,接下来作者可能会写在实际工作场所进一步研究的结果。故选D。
第II卷(非选择题共 40 分)
五、用所给词的正确形式填空(共5小题, 每小题1分, 满分5分)(注意: 可能不止填写一个词.)
Dear Parents,
I would like to invite you to the ____41____ (open) of our new library at No. 9 High School. The opening ____42____ (be) on the morning of Wednesday, January 8 th at 9:00. After this, you can enjoy ____43____ (we) school concert. Then lunch will be in the school hall at 12:00. I would also like to invite each parent ____44____ (bring) one book as a gift for the new library. Please reply in writing to this ____45____ (invite) by Friday, December 20th.
Larry Smith
Headmaster
【答案】41. opening
42. will be
43. our 44. to bring
45. invitation
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要是第九高中的校长Larry Smith写信给家长,邀请他们参加学校新图书馆的开幕式,并告知了活动的时间、地点以及相关的注意事项。
【41题详解】
句意:我想邀请你们参加第九中学新图书馆的开馆仪式。根据“the … of our new library”可知,此处是指新图书馆的开馆仪式,考查the opening of ...“……的开业仪式”,因此这里应open的名词形式opening。故填opening。
【42题详解】
句意:开馆仪式将于1月8日星期三上午9点举行。根据语境可知,开馆仪式还未发生,所以用一般将来时,其结构为will +动词原形,be动词的原形是be。故填will be。
【43题详解】
句意:在这之后,你们可以欣赏我们学校的音乐会。空后“school concert”是名词短语,应用we的形容词性物主代词our“我们的”来修饰,在句中作定语。故填our。
【44题详解】
句意:我也想邀请每位家长带一本书作为给新图书馆的礼物。invite sb. to do sth.“邀请某人做某事”,固定搭配,所以这里用动词不定式to bring。故填to bring。
【45题详解】
句意:请在12月20日星期五前对这份邀请进行书面回复。空前this“这,这个”是指示代词,后接名词单数形式,所以这里应用invite的名词形式invitation“邀请,邀请函”。故填invitation。
六、词与短语填空(共5小题, 每小题1分, 满分5分)
阅读下面短文,然后用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空,使短文在结构、语意和逻辑上正确,方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。
take up; fight; nice; vegetables; role; take in; worse
Plants are amazing! They play an important ____46____ in our life. Not only do they make our eyes feel good, but they also give us fruits and ____47____ to eat.

They can also add moisture (水分) to the air if it’s too dry. They help keep our indoor environments cleaner and ____50____, making us feel better. Next time you see a plant, remember all the amazing things it does for us!
【答案】46. role
47. vegetables
48. take in
49. fight 50. nicer
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了植物在人类生活中的作用。
【46题详解】
句意:它们在我们的生活中起着重要作用。根据“play an important … in our life”和备选词汇可知,此处考查play an important role in ...“在……中起重要作用”,动词短语。故填role。
【47题详解】
句意:它们不仅让我们的眼睛感觉舒适,还为我们提供水果和蔬菜食用。根据“fruits and … to eat”可知,此处是指植物还能给我们提供水果和蔬菜食用;这里应用vegetables“蔬菜”与“fruits”形成并列关系,应用名词复数形式表泛指。故填vegetables。
【48题详解】
句意:科学家发现植物能从空气中吸收有害化学物质,使我们呼吸的空气变得安全。根据下文“making it safe for us to breathe”和备选词汇可知,我们呼吸的空气变得安全了,说明植物能吸收空气中的有害化学物质;考查take in“吸收”,动词短语;空前有情态动词“can”,这里应用动词原形。故填take in。
【49题详解】
句意:它们有助于抵御恶劣天气。根据空后“against bad weather”和备选词汇可知,此处是指抗击恶劣天气;考查fight against“与……作斗争”,动词短语;空前有动词不定式符号to,这里应用动词原形。故填fight。
【50题详解】
句意:它们有助于使我们的室内环境更清洁、更宜人,让我们感觉更好。根据上文“They can also add moisture to the air if it’s too dry.”和备选词汇可知,它们还可以增加空气的水分,这就使室内的环境更清洁、更宜人;考查nice“宜人的”,形容词;又根据“cleaner and”可知,and连接两个并列的比较级,前面是“cleaner”,所以这里应用nice的比较级nicer。故填nicer。
七、综合填空(共10小题, 每小题1分, 满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据上下文或括号内单词等提示,在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。

56. to pour
57. carefully
58. characters
59. up 60. its
【解析】

【52题详解】
句意:它不仅给人们带来美的享受,而且给艺术家们展示才华的机会。根据“not only brings people the enjoyment of beauty but also”可知,此处需用和“brings”对等的形式,即动词三单形式。故填gives。
【53题详解】
句意:人们认为看糖画师傅工作就像看魔术一样,因为每一件作品都充满了创意。分析包子结构可知,此处应填所给动词watch“观看”的动名词形式watching,在think后面所接的是宾语从句中作主语。故填watching。
【54题详解】
句意:你知道怎样做糖画吗?根据下文“Firstly, ... . Next, ...”等可知,此处是在指“怎样”做糖画。故填how。
【55题详解】

【57题详解】
句意:通过仔细移动勺子,各种形状的可爱动物、美丽的花朵,甚至故事中著名的人物都可以被塑造出来。分析句子结构可知,此处应填所给形容词careful的副词形式carefully“仔细地”,修饰动词moving。故填carefully。
【58题详解】
句意:通过仔细移动勺子,各种形状的可爱动物、美丽的花朵,甚至故事中著名的人物都可以被塑造出来。根据上文“cute animals, beautiful flowers and”可知,此处应填所给名词character“人物”的复数形式characters,与前面的animals和flowers并列。故填characters。
【59题详解】
句意:一旦形状准备好了,艺术家就会用小刀把它捡起来,把一根竹签插入其中。pick up“捡起”。故填up。
【60题详解】

This November, the 12th National Traditional Games of Ethnic Minorities (少数民族) took place in Sanya, Hainan. Let’s look at some of the fun events!
Swinging
Swinging is a traditional activity in many parts of China. It became an event in the games in 1986. Only women can take part in it. And it is only for the brave. Players have to swing not only faster but also higher to get the most bell touches. Some can even swing as high as 10 meters by using their body parts.
Bamboo Drifting
Have you ever dreamed of being a kung fu master (大师) on water? Single bamboo drifting can make your dream come true. To play this sport, players need bamboo and a long stick (木棍). During a competition, players stand on the bamboo and use the long stick to move forward on water. The fastest one is the winner. In the sport, players must keep their bodies balanced (平衡的) on the bamboo.
Tree climbing
Climbing trees to get coconuts (椰子) is a traditional activity, and it slowly became a fun event. In the event, men climb a 9-meter man-made coconut tree while women climb a 7-meter one. The fastest one to reach the top is the winner. To climb up a tree quickly, players need lots of energy (能量) and good climbing skills.

Many people love animals, but only a few really work hard to care for and protect them. British zoologist Jane Goodall is such an example.
Born in 1934, Goodall had a natural love for animals as a child. At 10, she read Tarzan of the ages (《人猿泰山》) for the first time while up in a tree. This made her fall in love with the wonderful land of Africa, dreaming of studying the chimpanzee (黑猩猩) there.
At 26, Goodall finally made it to Tanzania and walked into the little-known world of wild chimpanzee. At first, Goodall got sick from the weather and bug bates there. Also, the chimps didn’t trust her and were very wary, trying to keep away from this stranger. Still she tried to get over these problems. She watched them quietly and patiently from far away. After months of long and hard work, the chimps got used to her being around.
Later, Goodall found something that surprised the world — chimps make and use tools (工具)! Before this, people thought only humans could do such things. Goodall also found that chimps have their own social relationships. For example, they may decide leaders and followers, just like humans. Moreover, some chimps were shy and some were outgoing. Sometimes, Goodall even saw chimps fighting with each other.
Besides studying chimps, she also started a group called the Jane Goodall Institute to protect (保护) them. The group does many things like protecting forests, stopping hunting, and teaching local people how to care for chimps.
Today, the 90-year-old woman still travels around the world, speaking about the dangers chimpanzee are facing and other environmental problems.
31. What started Goodall’s interest in chimpanzee?
A. The book she read as a child. B. A film named Tarzan of the ages.
C. Her love for nature and animals. D. Her early experiences with animals.
32. The underlined word “wary” is close to ________
A. angry B. friendly C. careful D. excited
33. It’s clear that Goodall ________
A. won fame and got lots of prices B. failed to make the chimpanzee accept her
C. found chimpanzee are the same as humans D. helped people understand chimpanzee better
34. Why does Goodall still travel around the world today?
A. To call on people to protect the earth. B. To collect more information for her study.
C. To experience different cultures in the world. D. To study other wild animals instead of chimps.
35. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Life of Jane Goodall B. Jane Goodall and Her chimpanzee
C. The Action of Saving Animals D. chimpanzee and Their World
C
Robots and humans can work together as a team, but this brings both good and bad for teamwork. A recent study found that when people work with robots, they might not try as hard or stay as focused.
In the study, two groups of people were asked to check circuit boards (电路板) for mistakes. The first group was told a robot named Panda had already checked the boards. They could see and hear Panda when they worked. The second group had to check alone.
At first, it seemed like Panda’s presence didn’t make a difference. Both groups spent the same time checking the boards and found a similar number of mistakes. However, the first group found fewer mistakes later on. This could mean that they depended (依赖) too much on the robot and didn’t pay as much attention. They believed that Panda wouldn’t miss any mistakes.
_________ In the study, people found out fewer mistakes when working with the robot. So in longer work periods, especially when tasks are boring and there in much super vision (监管), workers are probably unable to stay focused. This could be dangerous, especially in jobs where double-checking is important for safety.
To understand the problem better, the scientists suggested doing studies in real work places with skilled workers who often work with robots. This would give us a clearer picture of how attention changes while working with robots.
36. What’s the function (功能) of Paragraph 1?
A. To share a story. B. To introduce the topic. C. To discuss robots. D. To describe a study.
37. The first group found fewer mistakes later because________
A. they were more focused B. they were less experienced
C. they trusted Panda too much D. they worked faster than the other group.
38. Which of the following can be put in ________?
A. Robots might take humans’ place. B. This could lead to safety problems.
C. However, robots are not so smart. D. There is still a long journey for robots.
