The ants spread because of human activities like trade and travel. They arrived in Kenya from southern Africa about 15 years ago. Since then they have been killing the local acacia ant. Acacia ants live in and take care of the whistling thorn trees in Kenya. In a “symbiotic relationship”, acacia ants get food from the trees and use them for home. In return, they protect the trees from animals like elephants or giraffes, which might eat too much of the trees. Acacia ants do this through attacking these animals in group. However, big-headed ants eat acacia ants and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling. What’s more, big-headed ants don’t protect whistling thorn trees either. So with fewer acacia ants to save them, the trees are in trouble. Professor Palmer’s team found that in areas with big-headed ants, elephants destroyed more trees. This means the place is more open and zebras can easily find lions following them. So lions kill much fewer zebras in these areas than in tree-filled places. The good news is that the lion population remains unchanged because the lions turn to hunt buffalo for food instead of zebras. This probably means that the tiny ants have caused lions to change their habits too. They have to hunt the bigger, heavier buffalo. Professor Palmer said, “We often find it’s the little things that rule the world.” 54. What’s the relationship between the whistling thorn trees and acacia ants? A. B. C. D. 55. Elephants destroyed more trees. As a result, ________. A. big-headed ants can eat more acacia ants B. zebras have no places to hide themselves C. acacia ants attack elephants and giraffes easily D. lions have trouble hunting zebras with fewer trees 56. Big-headed ants have caused the number of ________ to fall. ①acacia ants ②whistling thorn trees ③zebras ④lions A. ①② B. ①④ C. ②③ D. ②④ 57. Lions ________ to deal with the changes according to the passage. A. spend more time following zebras B. look for other larger animals for food C. keep elephants from tree-filled places D. move elsewhere without big-headed ants 【答案】54. C 55. D 56. A 57. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了一种入侵物种——大头蚁在肯尼亚的情况，以及它对当地生态系统中其他生物的影响。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Acacia ants live in and take care of the whistling thorn trees in Kenya. In a ‘symbiotic relationship’, acacia ants get food from the trees and use them for home.”可知，金合欢蚁生活在肯尼亚，并照顾着吹口哨刺树，树为蚂蚁提供食物和住所。二者应是互利的“共生关系”。故选C。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“So lions kill much fewer zebras in these areas than in tree-filled places.”可知，狮子捕猎斑马变得困难。故选D。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling...the trees are in trouble.”可知，大头蚁导致金合欢蚁和树木减少。故选A。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“lions to change their habits too. They have to hunt the bigger, heavier buffalo.”可知，狮子开始捕猎更大的动物如水牛以应对斑马减少的情况。故选B。 C ①The scientific method is used for simple experiments that students may do in the classroom or very difficult experiments that scientists are doing all over the world. It is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid drawing incorrect conclusions. There are usually four steps in the scientific method, including observation (观察), hypothesis (假设), experiment, and conclusion. ②The steps may not always be completed in the same order, but the first step is usually observation and asking a question about your observation. You may have the experience that you had a sick stomach, and ate a candy bar. An hour later, you observed that you felt much better. Here, you can ask a question, such as, “What makes a sick stomach feel better?” ③The second step is to state a possible answer to the question, or a hypothesis, such as “________”. A good hypothesis includes three things: The explanation for the observations, it is able to be tested, and it will usually predict new results or conclusions. ④The third step is the experiment, to test the hypothesis. An experiment is a test which will either challenge or support the hypothesis. The hypothesis will then be true or false. ⑤The final step is to think about what happened when you tested the hypothesis and draw a conclusion. The conclusion will either clearly support the hypothesis or it will not. If the results support the hypothesis, a conclusion can be written and you can share it with the rest of the world. If it does not support the hypothesis, you may choose to change the hypothesis or write a new one based on what was learned during the experiment. ⑥In most cases, the scientific method is an iterative (迭代的) process. In other words, it’s a cycle rather than a straight line. The result of one go-round becomes feedback that improves the next round of question asking. 58.

I put the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I, too, had wanted a violin, but we couldn’t afford. When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question. It was not a good year. The crops did not bring as much as we had hoped at harvest. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn’t wait any longer to ask, “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own?” Daddy looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind God in our family devotions, “… and Lord, Mary wants her own violin.” One evening we all sat at the table. Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, Mr. Finkle, a fine violinist. When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he announced, “We’ll be driving to Columbus.” The day finally arrived. After we got there, Mr. Finkle, a tall man, opened the door. “Come in!” He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play. “Carl, I found it in a pawn shop for seven dollars. It’s a good violin. Mary should be able to make beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me. I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally understood. It was mine! When I was ready to join the school orchestra (管弦乐队), I trembled with excitement. I sat in the third row of violins and wore my white orchestra jacket like a royal robe. My heart beat wildly at my first public performance, a school operetta. I felt sure everyone in the audience was watching me. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly at their little girl. And soon I found myself in the first-violin chair. I thought of Daddy, who did all he could to fill my desires when I was young. I wonder if I had ever thanked him. At last I picked up the newspaper, walked to the phone and dialed the number. Later that day, a man knocked on the door. “My daughter wants a violin so badly,” he said, “How much are you asking?” Any music store, I knew, would offer me a nice price. But now I heard my voice answer, “Seven dollars.” “Are you sure?” he asked, reminding so much of Daddy. Later, I saw his wife and children waiting in an old car. The door suddenly opened and a young girl ran to him. She hugged the violin case against her, then dropped to her knees and snapped open the case. She touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon Sun, then turned and threw her arm around her smiling father. 62. What does the underlined phrase “out of the question” mean? A. Doubtful. B. Impossible. C. Natural. D. Certain. 63. Which is the correct order of the following events? ①I noticed an advertisement in the newspaper. ②My father’s friend, a fine violinist gave me a violin. ③I sold a violin to a father at the price of seven dollars. ④I joined the school orchestra and took the first-violin chair soon. ⑤My family led a hard life and couldn’t afford a violin that I wanted so much. A. ①⑤②④③ B. ①②⑤④③ C. ⑤②④①③ D. ⑤①②④③ 64. What can we infer from the passage? A. Mary passed her love to others in the way Mr. Finkle did. B. The young man’s family had no money to pay for the violin. C. Mary offered the violin to her friend’s daughter with pleasure. D. Mary knew why her father took her to Columbus before going. 65. What can be the best title for the passage? A. A violinist and a father B. A little girl and her father C. The violin in an advertisement D. The violin in the setting Sun 【答案】62. B 63. C 64. A 65. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Mary看到报纸上有关希望购买小提琴的广告，会想到自己如何通过七美金得到第一把小提琴的，并在最后把小提琴以七美元的价格卖给小女孩的故事。 【62题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one!”及下文but作为转折可知，她想要一个小提琴，由于家庭生活困难，这种想法是不能的，划线部分out of the question的意思是“不可能的”，故选B。 【63题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中的时间线，正确的顺序应该是：首先Mary看到了广告（①），然后回忆起自己小时候家境贫困，无法拥有小提琴（⑤）。接着她的父亲的朋友给她买了小提琴（②），然后Mary参加了学校的乐队并且成为了首席小提琴（④）。最后，她以七美元的价格把小提琴卖给了别人（③）。所以正确顺序是⑤①②④③。故选C。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。通读整篇短文可知，Mr. Finkle帮助她实现拉小提琴的梦想，后半部分写的是在Mary取得成功以后，帮助一个和她一样的孩子，Mary像Finkle先生那样将爱传递给他人。故选A。 【65题详解】 最佳标题题。本文描述了Mary和父亲以及小提琴之间的故事，最后她以七美元将小提琴卖给了一个需要它的小女孩。故事情感充沛，讲述了她对父亲的感激和她将爱传递给他人的行为，最合适的标题是“The violin in the setting Sun”，这个标题呼应了文章的情感和小提琴在她生命中的意义。故选D。 五、信息还原 (本题共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 World Peace Day falls on September 21 every year.

The Pony Express hired skilled horse riders to carry letters and small packages They promised delivery from one end of the run to the other in 10 days or less! Finally, there was a way to communicate with friends and family who live far away. You would not have to depend on slow boats or stagecoaches. About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express. Its riders were mainly of small build, and many were teenagers. A day’s work was made up of about a 75-mile trip, with stops at several stations. The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart. Riders earned about $100 to $150 a month. The Pony Express worked day and night to make sure important letters and packages arrived on time. October 26, 1861—Sad news for the pony express. After only about 19 months, the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph (电报), a device that has changed long-distance communication. The Pony Express lost a lot of money and had to stop.

Then you should know the best skipping stone is flat, thin and small enough to hold in one hand. But now scientists say a heavier one, but no heavier than a tennis ball, is also good. That’s because... When a heavier stone hits the water, a bigger part of it goes under the water so it gets a stronger push from the water. ★Top tips: 1. Find the right stone. 2. Flat, calm water is best, like a lake or a pool. 3. Turn the stone around quickly when you throw it. Don’t throw hard. Instead, try to throw the stone quickly. 4. The best angle to skip the stone is 20 degrees. ★The best way to hold a stone: Hold the stone between your thumb and middle finger. Put your pointer finger around the edge (边缘) of the stone. 51. How can we skip a stone better? A. By finding flat, moving water. B. By skipping the stone at a proper angle. C. By picking a thick round stone. D. By throwing the stone hard and quickly. 52. Which of the following can show the right way to hold the stone? A. B. C. D. 53. In which part of a magazine will we probably read this passage? A. Story Land. B. Study Problems. C. Fun Science. D. Sports Stars. B An invasive species (入侵物种) of ant, called “big-headed ant”, is changing the way lions hunt and eat in Kenya, according to a new study. The ants spread because of human activities like trade and travel. They arrived in Kenya from southern Africa about 15 years ago. Since then they have been killing the local acacia ant. Acacia ants live in and take care of the whistling thorn trees in Kenya. In a “symbiotic relationship”, acacia ants get food from the trees and use them for home. In return, they protect the trees from animals like elephants or giraffes, which might eat too much of the trees. Acacia ants do this through attacking these animals in group. However, big-headed ants eat acacia ants and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling. What’s more, big-headed ants don’t protect whistling thorn trees either. So with fewer acacia ants to save them, the trees are in trouble. Professor Palmer’s team found that in areas with big-headed ants, elephants destroyed more trees. This means the place is more open and zebras can easily find lions following them. So lions kill much fewer zebras in these areas than in tree-filled places. The good news is that the lion population remains unchanged because the lions turn to hunt buffalo for food instead of zebras. This probably means that the tiny ants have caused lions to change their habits too. They have to hunt the bigger, heavier buffalo. Professor Palmer said, “We often find it’s the little things that rule the world.” 54. What’s the relationship between the whistling thorn trees and acacia ants? A. B. C. D. 55. Elephants destroyed more trees. As a result, ________. A. big-headed ants can eat more acacia ants B. zebras have no places to hide themselves C. acacia ants attack elephants and giraffes easily D. lions have trouble hunting zebras with fewer trees 56. Big-headed ants have caused the number of ________ to fall. ①acacia ants ②whistling thorn trees ③zebras ④lions A. ①② B. ①④ C. ②③ D. ②④ 57. Lions ________ to deal with the changes according to the passage. A. spend more time following zebras B. look for other larger animals for food C. keep elephants from tree-filled places D. move elsewhere without big-headed ants C ①The scientific method is used for simple experiments that students may do in the classroom or very difficult experiments that scientists are doing all over the world. It is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid drawing incorrect conclusions. There are usually four steps in the scientific method, including observation (观察), hypothesis (假设), experiment, and conclusion. ②The steps may not always be completed in the same order, but the first step is usually observation and asking a question about your observation. You may have the experience that you had a sick stomach, and ate a candy bar. An hour later, you observed that you felt much better. Here, you can ask a question, such as, “What makes a sick stomach feel better?” ③The second step is to state a possible answer to the question, or a hypothesis, such as “________”. A good hypothesis includes three things: The explanation for the observations, it is able to be tested, and it will usually predict new results or conclusions. ④The third step is the experiment, to test the hypothesis. An experiment is a test which will either challenge or support the hypothesis. The hypothesis will then be true or false. ⑤The final step is to think about what happened when you tested the hypothesis and draw a conclusion. The conclusion will either clearly support the hypothesis or it will not. If the results support the hypothesis, a conclusion can be written and you can share it with the rest of the world. If it does not support the hypothesis, you may choose to change the hypothesis or write a new one based on what was learned during the experiment. ⑥In most cases, the scientific method is an iterative (迭代的) process. In other words, it’s a cycle rather than a straight line. The result of one go-round becomes feedback that improves the next round of question asking. 58. How does the writer make us better understand the first step in Paragraph 2? A. By asking some questions. B. By giving an example. C. By comparing differences. D. By presenting reasons. 59. Which sentence can be put into “________” in Paragraph 3? A. It is the medicine which makes you feel better. B. A candy bar can make a sick stomach feel better. C. Eat a candy bar again and see what happens next. D. Ask people if eating a candy bar makes them better. 60. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 61. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The observation based on the hypothesis is the first step. B. The four steps will be completed perfectly in the same order. C. The conclusion will support the observation and the experiment. D. The hypothesis will be proved to be true or false through an experiment. D “Wanted: Violin. Can’t pay much. Call...” Why did I notice that? I wondered, since I seldom look at such ads. I put the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I, too, had wanted a violin, but we couldn’t afford. When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question. It was not a good year. The crops did not bring as much as we had hoped at harvest. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn’t wait any longer to ask, “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own?” Daddy looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind God in our family devotions, “… and Lord, Mary wants her own violin.” One evening we all sat at the table. Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, Mr. Finkle, a fine violinist. When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he announced, “We’ll be driving to Columbus.” The day finally arrived. After we got there, Mr. Finkle, a tall man, opened the door. “Come in!” He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play. “Carl, I found it in a pawn shop for seven dollars. It’s a good violin. Mary should be able to make beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me. I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally understood. It was mine! When I was ready to join the school orchestra (管弦乐队), I trembled with excitement. I sat in the third row of violins and wore my white orchestra jacket like a royal robe. My heart beat wildly at my first public performance, a school operetta. I felt sure everyone in the audience was watching me. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly at their little girl. And soon I found myself in the first-violin chair. I thought of Daddy, who did all he could to fill my desires when I was young. I wonder if I had ever thanked him. At last I picked up the newspaper, walked to the phone and dialed the number. Later that day, a man knocked on the door. “My daughter wants a violin so badly,” he said, “How much are you asking?” Any music store, I knew, would offer me a nice price. But now I heard my voice answer, “Seven dollars.” “Are you sure?” he asked, reminding so much of Daddy. Later, I saw his wife and children waiting in an old car. The door suddenly opened and a young girl ran to him. She hugged the violin case against her, then dropped to her knees and snapped open the case. She touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon Sun, then turned and threw her arm around her smiling father. 62. What does the underlined phrase “out of the question” mean? A. Doubtful. B. Impossible. C. Natural. D. Certain. 63. Which is the correct order of the following events? ①I noticed an advertisement in the newspaper. ②My father’s friend, a fine violinist gave me a violin. ③I sold a violin to a father at the price of seven dollars. ④I joined the school orchestra and took the first-violin chair soon. ⑤My family led a hard life and couldn’t afford a violin that I wanted so much. A. ①⑤②④③ B. ①②⑤④③ C. ⑤②④①③ D. ⑤①②④③ 64. What can we infer from the passage? A. Mary passed her love to others in the way Mr. Finkle did. B. The young man’s family had no money to pay for the violin. C. Mary offered the violin to her friend’s daughter with pleasure. D. Mary knew why her father took her to Columbus before going. 65. What can be the best title for the passage? A. A violinist and a father B. A little girl and her father C. The violin in an advertisement D. The violin in the setting Sun 五、信息还原 (本题共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 World Peace Day falls on September 21 every year. It’s a day to lay down our guns in war areas.

The Pony Express, a fast mail delivery service, successfully completed its first journey from Saint Joseph in Missouri to Sacramento in California. This exciting journey began on April 3. The Pony Express hired skilled horse riders to carry letters and small packages. They promised delivery from one end of the run to the other in 10 days or less! Finally, there was a way to communicate with friends and family who live far away. You would not have to depend on slow boats or stagecoaches. About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express. Its riders were mainly of small build, and many were teenagers.

The Pony Express worked day and night to make sure important letters and packages arrived on time. October 26, 1861—Sad news for the pony express.
