People can hear certain parts of a whale song, so scientists use special tools to record and study the songs. Over years, they’ve noticed that the songs have changed in pitch. Pitch describes how high or low a sound is. Emma Leroy and a team of scientists now think they know why. They’ve studied more than a million songs from five groups of whales. The songs were recorded in the southern Indian Ocean over a period of seven years. Last fall, the team’s report came out in the magazine Oceans. It tells why the pitch of whale songs has gotten lower: whales aren’t singing as loudly as they used to. ▲   Leroy’s study puts forward two hypotheses (假说). The first is that there are more whales. Starting in 1985, the International Whaling Organization made rules against catching whales. As the whale population has increased, whales have begun to live closer together. And if the whales are closer together, they don’t have to sing loudly to communicate. The study’s second hypothesis is that the pitch of whale songs has dropped because of the weather change. An increase of carbon dioxide (CO₂) has made ocean water more acidic (酸性的), changing its sound carrying result. Now the songs can be heard from farther away, so the whales don’t have to sing loudly. “The increase of CO₂ is good news for whale communication,” Leroy says. “But for the environment, it is not good at all.” More acidic water could be harmful to some ocean life. Leroy says that checking either hypothesis would need more research. “We would need to understand and how the blue whales sing the song,” she says. But that would mean studying each single whale. It’s hard to do and also very expensive. Scientists will continue to study whale songs and each study adds to people’s understanding. “Maybe our hypotheses will be checked in 10 years.” Leroy says.“Science is often a journey.” 24. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ________ in Paragraph 3? A But do people know how often whales sing songs? B. Then what might happen to the scientists? C. So why are whales singing more softly? D. And when do whales start to move in different places? 25. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The change of whale population. B. The increase of CO₂. C. The increase of acidic water. D. The change of whale communication. 26. What can we infer from the passage? A. Whale communication has a bad influence on life. B. Whales sing loudly because of their increasing population. C. Weather change influences how far the songs can be heard. D. Scientists have checked the exact reasons why whales communicate. 27. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How Leroy and her team wrote the report. B. How the ocean was polluted. C. Why the whale population increases. D. Why the sound of whale changes. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文通过科学研究的视角，探讨了蓝鲸歌声变化的可能原因，并指出需要进一步的研究来验证这些假设。文章还强调了气候变化对海洋环境的潜在影响。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It tells why the pitch of whale songs has gotten lower: whales aren’t singing as loudly as they used to.”以及“Leroy’s study puts forward two hypotheses (假说). The first is that there are more...to sing loudly to communicate.”可知，提到鲸鱼歌声的音调降低是因为它们不再像以前那样大声唱歌，紧接着提出两个假说解释原因。故选项C“为何鲸鱼唱得更轻柔？”符合。故选C。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“ ‘The increase of CO₂ is good news for whale communication,’ Leroy says. ‘But for the environment, it is not good at all.’ ”可知，CO₂的增加导致海水酸化，Leroy认为这对鲸鱼交流是好事，但对环境不利。故“it”指代前文的“CO₂的增加”。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The study’s second hypothesis is that the pitch of whale songs has dropped because of the weather change. An increase of carbon dioxide (CO₂) has made ocean water more acidic (酸性的), changing its sound carrying result. Now the songs can be heard from farther away, so the whales don’t have to sing loudly.”可知，第二个假说表明CO₂增加导致海水酸化，改变了声音传播效果，使鲸鱼无需大声歌唱即可远距离交流。因此可推断天气变化影响歌声传播距离。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文围绕鲸鱼歌声变化的原因展开，重点讨论两个假说：种群增加和气候变化。故选项D“鲸鱼声音变化的原因”更能准确地概括主题。故选D。 C The lantern fair in Zigong, Southwest China’s Sichuanprovince, which boasts a history of more than 1,000 years, is once again attracting visitors with its dazzling lanterns. Coveringan area of nearly 37 hectares (公顷), the 30th International Lantern Show kicked off in Zigong on February 2nd and received around 450,000 visitors during the Spring Festival holiday from February 10th to 17th. To mark the Year of the Dragon, many of the lanterns at the show feature the Chinese sign of the zodiac (生肖), but there are also a wide variety of other lantern designs to meet different needs. Visitors who prefer traditional lanterns can find lanterns with flowers and birds, legendary figures, and landscapes, while lanterns with modern topics such as cartoon characters, cultural trends and online games are gaining popularity among young people. In addition to the extremely beautiful things made by hand modern technologies such as 3D printing and artificial intelligence (AI) have also been used to make the lanterns more vivid and wonderful. The lantern show is also accepting the idea of environmental protection. For example, a dragon lantern measuring over 200 meters long was made by bundling together some 200,000 used water bottles. A set of lanterns recreating the famous Chinese statue “Bronze Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow” from the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD) was created by using 21 different kinds of waste materials, including tires, leather and plastics to form its decorations (装饰). This year’s show received more than 3,000 children’s artworks from around the world. Some of the art pieces were turned into lanterns by skilled artisans. The 30th International Lantern Show will run until July 30th. The sets of lanterns will be updated to keep up with other traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Qingming FestIval and the Dragon Boat Festival. Visitors can also enjoy folk arts, and Chinese music performances during their lantern-viewing tours. 28. How does the writer develop the idea in Paragraph 1? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By comparing differences. D. By making an example. 29. How many topics of the lantern show are mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Six. B. Seven. C. Eight. D. Nine. 30. How does the lantern show express the idea of environmental protection? A. By making large lanterns. B. By using the modern technologies. C. By using waste materials. D. By recreating the famous Chinese statue. 31. What is the purpose of writing the passage? A. To introduce the Lantern fair in Zigong. B. To suggest we need to protect the environment. C. To show the importance of the Year of the Dragon. D. To tell the visitors to watch the show during other festivals. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文通过介绍自贡灯会的历史、规模、设计特色、环保理念以及儿童艺术作品的展示，全面展示了灯会的独特魅力和文化价值。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“which boasts a history of more than 1,000 years, is once again attracting visitors with its dazzling lanterns. Coveringan area of nearly 37 hectares (公顷), the 30th International Lantern Show kicked off in Zigong on February 2nd and received around 450,000 visitors...”可知，第一段通过列举数字 (如占地面积、游客数量) 来展开介绍。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“...many of the lanterns at the show feature the Chinese sign of the zodiac (生肖)...Visitors who prefer traditional lanterns can find lanterns with flowers and birds, legendary figures, and landscapes, while lanterns with modern topics such as cartoon characters, cultural trends and online games...”可知，第二段提到的灯会主题依次为：生肖龙、花鸟、传说人物、山水、卡通角色、文化潮流、网络游戏，共7种，故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“For example, a dragon lantern measuring over 200 meters long was made by bundling together some 200,000 used water bottles. A set of lanterns recreating the famous Chinese statue ‘Bronze Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow’ from the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD) was created by using 21 different kinds of waste materials, including tires, leather and plastics to form its decorations (装饰).”可知，本段讲到用废旧瓶子、轮胎等再利用材料制作灯组来表达环保理念。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，主要介绍自贡国际灯会的历史、规模和特色，目的是介绍这项盛会，故选A。 D It was weeks before we heard from Squire Trelawney again. All this time, I had lived at the doctor’s, my mind full of ideas about what the coming voyage (a long journey on a ship) might bring. I was so excited that I wasn’t too bothered about being away from home and my mother. The letter from Squire Trelawney came when Dr. Livesey was in London, arranged (安排) for a doctor to take over his practice while he was away. Since the letter was addressed to both the doctor and me, I opened it nervously, and read the following: Old Anchor Inn, Bristol March 1st, 17 Dear Livesey, All is ready! My man Blandly has found us a beautiful ship, the Hispaniola. And we’ve had no trouble gathering together an excellent crew of men. Once words spread about our plan to look for treasure, many people had all sorts of interest in the voyage. Our luckiest find was the cook, Long John Silver. He’s a one-legged man that runs an inn (小旅馆) here, and knows all the best seamen around. It was through him that we found most of our crew. He wished to join our voyage as well, and sad that, although he had only one leg, he could make up for it with his cooking; so I hired the poor man. And now you and Jim should come to Bristol as soon as possible. The two of you are all we need to complete our crew. —Trelawney My happiness was now complete. I sent a message to London to inform Dr. Livesey of the news, and then prepared my bags that night. In the morning, I boarded with Tom Redruth, one of the Squire’s servants responsible for watching over me, and we headed for Bristol. 32. Why did “I” feel so excited before receiving the letter from Squire Trelawney? A. Because there was no one to bother “me”. B. Because “I” was expecting the coming voyage. C. Because “I” had never lived at the doctor’s before. D. Because “I” wanted to see the home and “my” mother. 33. Which of the following in the dictionary can best explain the underlined word “spread” in the letter? Spread n.[C, U]; v.[V] spread; spread ① To open something that has been folded so that it covers a larger area than before. ② To move your arms, legs, fingers, etc. far apart from each other. ③To be known by or used by more and more people. ④ An increase in the amount or number of something that there is. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 34. What can be known about Long John Silver? A. He was the cook with only one leg. B. He ran an inn in order to know more seamen. C. Many other seamen introduced him to Trelawney. D. He was one of the best seamen and wished to join the voyage. 35. In which tone did Trelawney write the letter? A. Rude. B. Joyful. C. Nervous. D. Encouraging. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了主人公“我”在等待Squire Trelawney来信期间的心情和经历。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“All this time, I had lived at the doctor’s, my mind full of ideas about what the coming voyage (a long journey on a ship) might bring.”可知，“我”在收到Squire Trelawney的来信之前感到非常兴奋是因为“我”对即将到来的航行充满期待。故选B。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Once words spread about our plan to look for treasure, many people had all sorts of interest in the voyage.”可知，一旦我们计划寻找宝藏的计划……，许多人对航行产生了各种兴趣。故划线单词“spread”意为“传播”，选项③“被越来越多人知道或使用”最符合句意，故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Our luckiest find was the cook, Long John Silver. He’s a one-legged man that runs an inn (小旅馆) here”可知，信中明确提到Long John Silver是一位仅有一条腿的厨师。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“All is ready!”、“an excellent crew of men.”以及“Our luckiest find”可推知，Trelawney是以充满喜悦的语调写这篇文章的。故选B。 E ①Have you ever seen instruments made of vegetables? Who says you can’t play with your food? Or, play your food? For the Vegetable Orchestra, vegetables are the start of a whole new kind of music. ②The Vegetable Orchestra (管弦乐队) was started in Vienna, Australia, in 1998 and organizes concerts around the world. Its members play carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins, all fresh from local markets. ③The day before a concert, the members will spend the whole day preparing. First, they carefully pick vegetables for their texture (质地), size and shape. All of these influence the sound. Next, they get to work with knives and other tools to cut, carve, and make holes in new instruments from a lot of mixed vegetables—almost 45 kg of them. The end results? The perfect instruments that can play some really fresh sounds. Once the instruments are ready, they are covered with damp cloths to keep them from drying out. ④And then it’s time to play!

We can learn a lot. My grandpa told me that his great aunt, Mary White, was the first female Mayor of Ipswich (a city in England), which was exciting to know.” What should I ask questions about? Do the relatives and older people you speak to remember when the astronaut Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon in 1969? Any interviewing tips? When talking to people about the history they have lived through, try to ask interesting questions, and listen carefully to their answers. Write notes and questions down before you chat so that you will remember what to say. Oral History Do you talk to older people about: what life was like when they were young? Perhaps you enjoy findıng out what big events, such as the Second World War, were actually like for the people who lived through them ? Oral history means listening to these stories and asking questions of the people who remember them. It is a good idea to make recordings of oral history conversations so that they can be kept and listened to in the future. This can be done with a sound recording device (设备) or an app on a smart phone. As well as historical events that affect a whole country, local events are also important. Examples could include flooding, the new buildings, or a person making a big change or having strong influence on a particular area. Neal Foster, who creates the popular Horrible Histories Live stage shows, thinks oral history is important.“Nothing competes with hearing history from people who went through the experience. What makes history fascinating is hearing the same event recalled by different people. That knowledge is priceless, ” he says.

People can hear certain parts of a whale song, so scientists use special tools to record and study the songs. Over years, they’ve noticed that the songs have changed in pitch. Pitch describes how high or low a sound is. Emma Leroy and a team of scientists now think they know why. They’ve studied more than a million songs from five groups of whales. The songs were recorded in the southern Indian Ocean over a period of seven years. Last fall, the team’s report came out in the magazine Oceans. It tells why the pitch of whale songs has gotten lower: whales aren’t singing as loudly as they used to. ▲   Leroy’s study puts forward two hypotheses (假说). The first is that there are more whales. Starting in 1985, the International Whaling Organization made rules against catching whales. As the whale population has increased, whales have begun to live closer together. And if the whales are closer together, they don’t have to sing loudly to communicate. The study’s second hypothesis is that the pitch of whale songs has dropped because of the weather change. An increase of carbon dioxide (CO₂) has made ocean water more acidic (酸性的), changing its sound carrying result. Now the songs can be heard from farther away, so the whales don’t have to sing loudly. “The increase of CO₂ is good news for whale communication,” Leroy says. “But for the environment, it is not good at all.” More acidic water could be harmful to some ocean life. Leroy says that checking either hypothesis would need more research. “We would need to understand and how the blue whales sing the song,” she says. But that would mean studying each single whale. It’s hard to do and also very expensive. Scientists will continue to study whale songs and each study adds to people’s understanding. “Maybe our hypotheses will be checked in 10 years.” Leroy says.“Science is often a journey.” 24. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ________ in Paragraph 3? A. But do people know how often whales sing songs? B. Then what might happen to the scientists? C. So why are whales singing more softly? D. And when do whales start to move in different places? 25. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The change of whale population. B. The increase of CO₂. C. The increase of acidic water. D. The change of whale communication. 26. What can we infer from the passage? A. Whale communication has a bad influence on life. B. Whales sing loudly because of their increasing population. C. Weather change influences how far the songs can be heard. D. Scientists have checked the exact reasons why whales communicate. 27. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How Leroy and her team wrote the report. B. How the ocean was polluted. C. Why the whale population increases. D. Why the sound of whale changes. C The lantern fair in Zigong, Southwest China’s Sichuanprovince, which boasts a history of more than 1,000 years, is once again attracting visitors with its dazzling lanterns. Coveringan area of nearly 37 hectares (公顷), the 30th International Lantern Show kicked off in Zigong on February 2nd and received around 450,000 visitors during the Spring Festival holiday from February 10th to 17th. To mark the Year of the Dragon, many of the lanterns at the show feature the Chinese sign of the zodiac (生肖), but there are also a wide variety of other lantern designs to meet different needs. Visitors who prefer traditional lanterns can find lanterns with flowers and birds, legendary figures, and landscapes, while lanterns with modern topics such as cartoon characters, cultural trends and online games are gaining popularity among young people. In addition to the extremely beautiful things made by hand, modern technologies such as 3D printing and artificial intelligence (AI) have also been used to make the lanterns more vivid and wonderful. The lantern show is also accepting the idea of environmental protection. For example, a dragon lantern measuring over 200 meters long was made by bundling together some 200,000 used water bottles. A set of lanterns recreating the famous Chinese statue “Bronze Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow” from the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD) was created by using 21 different kinds of waste materials, including tires, leather and plastics to form its decorations (装饰). This year’s show received more than 3,000 children’s artworks from around the world. Some of the art pieces were turned into lanterns by skilled artisans. The 30th International Lantern Show will run until July 30th. The sets of lanterns will be updated to keep up with other traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Qingming FestIval and the Dragon Boat Festival. Visitors can also enjoy folk arts, and Chinese music performances during their lantern-viewing tours. 28. How does the writer develop the idea in Paragraph 1? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By comparing differences. D. By making an example. 29. How many topics of the lantern show are mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Six. B. Seven. C. Eight. D. Nine. 30. How does the lantern show express the idea of environmental protection? A. By making large lanterns. B. By using the modern technologies. C. By using waste materials. D. By recreating the famous Chinese statue. 31. What is the purpose of writing the passage? A. To introduce the Lantern fair in Zigong. B. To suggest we need to protect the environment. C To show the importance of the Year of the Dragon. D To tell the visitors to watch the show during other festivals. D It was weeks before we heard from Squire Trelawney again. All this time, I had lived at the doctor’s, my mind full of ideas about what the coming voyage (a long journey on a ship) might bring. I was so excited that I wasn’t too bothered about being away from home and my mother. The letter from Squire Trelawney came when Dr. Livesey was in London, arranged (安排) for a doctor to take over his practice while he was away. Since the letter was addressed to both the doctor and me, I opened it nervously, and read the following: Old Anchor Inn, Bristol March 1st, 17 Dear Livesey, All is ready! My man Blandly has found us a beautiful ship the Hispaniola. And we’ve had no trouble gathering together an excellent crew of men. Once words spread about our plan to look for treasure, many people had all sorts of interest in the voyage. Our luckiest find was the cook, Long John Silver. He’s a one-legged man that runs an inn (小旅馆) here, and knows all the best seamen around. It was through him that we found most of our crew. He wished to join our voyage as well, and sad that, although he had only one leg, he could make up for it with his cooking; so I hired the poor man. And now you and Jim should come to Bristol as soon as possible. The two of you are all we need to complete our crew. —Trelawney My happiness was now complete. I sent a message to London to inform Dr. Livesey of the news, and then prepared my bags that night. In the morning, I boarded with Tom Redruth, one of the Squire’s servants responsible for watching over me, and we headed for Bristol. 32. Why did “I” feel so excited before receiving the letter from Squire Trelawney? A. Because there was no one to bother “me”. B. Because “I” was expecting the coming voyage. C. Because “I” had never lived at the doctor’s before. D. Because “I” wanted to see the home and “my” mother. 33. Which of the following in the dictionary can best explain the underlined word “spread” in the letter? Spread n.[C, U]; v.[V] spread; spread ① To open something that has been folded so that it covers a larger area than before. ② To move your arms, legs, fingers, etc. far apart from each other. ③To be known by or used by more and more people. ④ An increase in the amount or number of something that there is. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 34. What can be known about Long John Silver? A. He was the cook with only one leg. B. He ran an inn in order to know more seamen. C. Many other seamen introduced him to Trelawney. D. He was one of the best seamen and wished to join the voyage. 35. In which tone did Trelawney write the letter? A. Rude. B. Joyful. C. Nervous. D. Encouraging. E ①Have you ever seen instruments made of vegetables? Who says you can’t play with your food? Or, play your food? For the Vegetable Orchestra, vegetables are the start of a whole new kind of music. ②The Vegetable Orchestra (管弦乐队) was started in Vienna, Australia, in 1998 and organizes concerts around the world. Its members play carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins, all fresh from local markets. ③The day before a concert, the members will spend the whole day preparing. First, they carefully pick vegetables for their texture (质地), size and shape. All of these influence the sound. Next, they get to work with knives and other tools to cut, carve, and make holes in new instruments from a lot of mixed vegetables—almost 45 kg of them. The end results? The perfect instruments that can play some really fresh sounds. Once the instruments are ready, they are covered with damp cloths to keep them from drying out. ④And then it’s time to play! The orchestra plays their own kind of jazz music. Some of the orchestra’s pieces are old, while others are improvised (即兴创作的), making each concert completely new. What happens to all these vegetable instruments after each concert? They are cut into pieces and cooked into soups for all to enjoy. So a cook and band member is quite needed. ⑤Besides the cook, other members also come from different backgrounds, including musicians, artists, engineers, writers and doctors. They often give classes to teach children and adults how to make their own instruments from vegetables. ⑥Do you want to get a try? How many different sounds can you make in your kitchen? 36. What is special about the Vegetable Orchestra? A. Its music pieces are about food. B. Its instruments are made of vegetable. C. It calls on people not to waste food. D.

We can learn a lot. My grandpa told me that his great aunt, Mary White, was the first female Mayor of Ipswich (a city in England), which was exciting to know.” What should I ask questions about? Do the relatives and older people you speak to remember when the astronaut Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon in 1969? Any interviewing tips? When talking to people about the history they have lived through, try to ask interesting questions, and listen carefully to their answers. Write notes and questions down before you chat so that you will remember what to say. Oral History Do you talk to older people about: what life was like when they were young? Perhaps you enjoy findıng out what big events, such as the Second World War, were actually like for the people who lived through them ? Oral history means listening to these stories and asking questions of the people who remember them. It is a good idea to make recordings of oral history conversations so that they can be kept and listened to in the future. This can be done with a sound recording device (设备) or an app on a smart phone. As well as historical events that affect a whole country, local events are also important. Examples could include flooding, the new buildings, or a person making a big change or having strong influence on a particular area. Neal Foster, who creates the popular Horrible Histories Live stage shows, thinks oral history is important.“Nothing competes with hearing history from people who went through the experience. What makes history fascinating is hearing the same event recalled by different people. That knowledge is priceless, ” he says.
