It is easy to spot animals as the bush is less thick and animals gather around available water sources and rivers. It is the best time to witness the Great Migration herds. Accommodation cost will also be high, and as this is the busiest period, so bookings in advance are essential! Green season Months: April, May & November The long rains occur during April and May and short rains in November. Mornings are usually clear and dry, with clouds building into dramatic thunderstorms by late afternoon. A plus to travel during the green season is that fewer people are travelling, which means fewer people and low lodge(旅舍)prices. Some of the lodges and camps close down during these months. Shoulder season Months: December, January, February & March These shoulder months are a time of transition(过渡). Temperatures start to fall off, and migratory birds move on. Animals start to gather in areas where they know there will be water. For birdwatchers they are the best months, as in addition to the resident species, migratory birds, coming here from Europe to spend the winter, are also present. January and February are the best months to witness the birth of wildebeest, zebra and antelope. 1 What is special about the high season? A. It rains a lot. B. Lodge prices are high. C. More birds migrate here. D. Many zebras are born. 2. When can you spend the least money travelling to Masai Mara? A. In September. B. In October. C. In November. D. In December. 3. What is the text? A. A travel guide. B. A news report. C. A children’s story. D. A diary entry. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了参观Masai Mara的最佳时间。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章High season部分的“Accommodation cost will also be high, and as this is the busiest period, so bookings in advance are essential!(住宿费用也会很高，因为这是最繁忙的时期，所以提前预订是必要的)”可知High season的特别之处在于它高昂的住宿费用。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据High season Months: June, July, August, September & October部分“Accommodation cost will also be high, and as this is the busiest period, so bookings in advance are essential!(住宿费用也会很高，因为这是最繁忙的时期，所以提前预订是必要的)”以及Green season Months: April, May & November部分的“A plus to travel during the green season is that fewer people are travelling, which means fewer people and low lodge(舍)prices.(在绿色季节旅行的一个好处是，旅行的人更少，这意味着更少的人和住宿的低价格)可知，绿色季节十一月住宿费用最低。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章标题“The Best Time To Visit Masai Mara(参观Masai Mara的最佳时间)”及文章的主要内容可知文章主要介绍了参观Masai Mara的最佳时间，所以文章应该是一篇旅游指南。故选A项。 B A mother, Carrie Cort, 51, from Sussex, and her nine-year-old son were named the UK's most environmentally friendly family after winning an award for their environmental achievements. Now every aspect of her life is environmentally friendly, from her son Adam's birthday parties to her clothing, and she recycles everything from used pens to milk bottle tops. ''Changing our family lifestyle to a green one has saved us around £ 11, 000 every year, which has given us more financial stability, " Carrie says. "Living green has made us healthier and I feel younger now. It is fun to see what you can make with unwanted or broken things. Growing your own food is great exercise, which is good for wildlife, and the food is much more nutritious and tastier." “My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really aroused in 2008 when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the planet we're bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university." She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living. Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son's birth. Later, she gave up her high-powered job, as she ran a video company with her brother, to do her job full-time. Today, she organizes talks and workshops. She runs a repair cafe, where people can bring everything to be fixed. Her recycling program helps people reuse wastes. Toothpaste tubes, for example, are turned into purses by an organization. My goal is to inspire more people to lead greener, more environmentally friendly lives, to enable us to live in greater harmony with nature, now and for future organizations. I achieve this by various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values." 4. How did Carrie feel about her environmentally friendly lifestyle? A. Unwanted. B. Unhealthy. C. Expensive. D. Economical. 5. When did Carrie begin to care about the lifestyle? A. After winning an award. B. After giving birth to her son. C. After being stuck in poverty, D. After attending green meetings. 6. What can we know about Carrie? A. She made good preparations for living green. B. She recycled what people ignored for fun. C. She does daily exercise by growing food. D. She majored in planet protection in university. 7. What does Carrie rely on to make her achievements? A. Her repair cafe and workshops. B. Her own programs and cooperation with others. C. Her well-paid job and her brother's support. D. Her independence of realizing her green dream. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Carrie Cort和她的儿子因为在环保方面取得的成就而获奖，被评为英国最环保的家庭以及Carrie Cort的环保之行。 【4题详解】 推理判读题。根据第二段第二句话“ ''Changing our family lifestyle to a green one has saved us around £ 11, 000 every year, which has given us more financial stability, " Carrie says.”(“将我们的家庭生活方式转变为绿色生活方式每年为我们节省了约11000英镑，这使我们的财务更加稳定，”嘉莉说。)可推知，Carrie觉得环保的生活方式是节约的。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话“My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really aroused in 2008 when Adam was born. ”(我对人类对待地球的方式的担忧在2008年亚当出生时开始的。)可知，Carrie在生完孩子后开始关心人们生活方式的问题。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判读题。根据第三段最后一句话“She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living.”(她开始参加讲座、读书、看纪录片和参加绿色会议，以便让自己了解绿色生活的细节。)可推知，Carrie为绿色生活做足了充足的准备。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句话“I achieve this by various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values.”(我通过各种Sussex绿色生活传播项目以及与其他具有相同目标和价值观的组织合作来实现这一目标。)可知，Carrie取得成就是靠自己的项目以及和她有一样的目标和价值的人的共同努力。故选B。 C Memory What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you watched a television programme? Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal experiences. A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists (心理学家) for this “childhood amnesia”. Now Annette Simms, a psychologist of Riverdale University, offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else’s spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, fast forgotten impressions of them into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them. Without this verbal reinforcement (语言强化), children cannot form permanent memories of what they have experienced. So why should personal memories depend so heavily on hearing them described? Dr. Simms presents evidence that the human mind organizes memories in that way. Children whose mothers talk with them about the day’s activities before bedtime tend to remember more of the day’s special event than those whose mothers don’t. Talking about an event in this way helps a child to remember it. And learning to organize memories as a continuous story is the key to a permanent mental “autobiography (自传)” of important life events. Dr. Simms suggests that we humans may be biologically programmed to turn our life experiences into a novel. The key to creating this mental life story is language, says Dr. Simms. “Children learn to talk about the past,” she says. “Talking to others about their short-term memories of the past leads to the establishment (建立) of long-term memories.” One way it does this is by helping a child to recognize that the retelling of an experience is just the experience itself, recreated in the form of words. The child learns that this “word-description” of an experience can then be stored in the memory and called back at any time. But a child’s language skills are usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their experiences. 8. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage? A. Children need to discuss experiences with their parents. B. Why can’t we remember the events of early childhood? C Adults can’t remember things as well as children. D. What are memories of early childhood like? 9. What does the word “amnesia” in the second paragraph mean? A. A mental life story. B. A childhood memory. C. Inability to remember. D. Researches on memory. 10. To form permanent memories of their experiences, young children need to ______. A. talk about them with others B. grow older than three or four C. write a story in their own language D. have a good relationship with their parents 11. According to Dr. Simms, the reason why children don’t form long-term memories before the age of three is that children ______. A. can’t call back their experiences B. have nowhere to store the memories C. haven’t developed enough language skills D. confuse the memory with the experience itself 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么我们不能记住童年早期的事情，心理学家对这种“童年失忆症”提出了各种各样的解释。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you watched a television programme? Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal experiences. (你最早的童年记忆是什么？你还记得学走路吗？还是说？你第一次看电视节目是什么时候？成年人很少回忆起早于入学前一年左右的事情，就像三四岁以下的孩子很少记得任何具体的个人经历一样)”及第二段中的“A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists (心理学家) for this “childhood amnesia”. (心理学家对这种“童年失忆症”提出了各种各样的解释)”可知，文章主要介绍了为什么我们不能记住童年早期的事情。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you watched a television programme? Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal experiences. (你最早的童年记忆是什么？你还记得学走路吗？还是说？你第一次看电视节目是什么时候？成年人很少回忆起早于入学前一年左右的事情，就像三四岁以下的孩子很少记得任何具体的个人经历一样)”及第二段中的“A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists (心理学家) for this “childhood amnesia”. ( 心理学家对这种“童年 amnesia”提出了各种各样的解释)”可推知，childhood amnesia指的是上文中提到的成年人记不住童年早期的事情。由此可知，划线词amnesia与inability to remember.“无法记住”意思接近。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else’s spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, fast forgotten impressions of them into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them. Without this verbal reinforcement (语言强化), children cannot form permanent memories of what they have experienced. (根据西姆斯博士的说法，孩子们需要学会使用别人对他们个人经历的口头描述，以便将他们自己对他们的短期、快速遗忘的印象转化为长期记忆。换句话说，孩子们必须谈论他们的经历，并听别人谈论他们的经历。没有这种语言的强化，孩子们就无法形成对他们所经历的事情的永久记忆)”可知，为了对他们的经历形成永久的记忆，年幼的孩子需要与他人谈论这些经历。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Talking to others about their short-term memories of the past leads to the establishment (建立) of long-term memories. (与他人谈论他们对过去的短期记忆，有助于建立长期记忆)”及“But a child’s language skills are usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their experiences.(但孩子的语言技能通常要到三、四岁才会成熟，所以他们没有办法记住自己最早的经历)”可推知，根据西姆斯博士的说法，孩子们在三岁之前没有形成长期记忆的原因是他们还没有发展足够的语言技能。故选C。 D As humans, we might believe that we are the smartest and perhaps the only creatures in the world capable of having feelings and subjective experience, but is this really the case? A new study finds that bumblebees (大黄蜂) like to play. They like to roll around small wooden balls with no apparent motivation — it likely makes them feel good. Previous evidence suggests that bees have positive and negative emotion-like states usually when they are given food rewards to test their abilities. However, in an experiment of the new study, some researchers had trained bumblebees to roll balls into a target in exchange for a sweet treat. They noticed that sometimes bumblebees would roll the balls outside of the experiment area for no reward. This observation gave rise to new questions: What are they doing? Why? Is this random or intentional? To answer these questions, the researchers set up more experiments. In the latest experiment, they watched 45 bumblebees in an enclosed area where they could walk through a clear path to reach a feeding area, or they could go off the path into areas with wooden balls. They found the bumblebees went out of their way to sit on the balls or push them. Each rolled the balls between one and 117 times during the experiment. The researchers say that because they did it repeatedly with no food payoff, it suggests that the ball rolling was rewarding. “The behavior was voluntary,” says study first-author Samadi Galpayage. “Bees have a reputation for being hard workers, but the prospect of bees engaging in something like play is really novel and exciting because it shows that bees may experience pleasure and don’t only carry out duties that are strictly essential for immediate survival.” Galpayage adds, “Personally, I find this behavior fascinating because it tells us that bumblebees, like many other animals, are more than little robotic beings, but have a richer behavior and life than we would have previously thought.” 12. What is probably humans’ typical view on bumblebees according to paragraph 1? A. They have no subjective feelings. B. They are friendly to human beings. C. They like rolling balls for pleasure. D. They are smarter than other creatures. 13. What did bumblebees do in the latest experiment of the new study? A. They rolled their food around. B. They played with the balls. C They stayed in the feeding area. D. They shared food with each other. 14. How does Samadi Galpayage feel about bumblebees’ behavior in the new study? A. Calm. B. Regretful. C. Unconcerned. D. Amazed. 15. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the text? A. Bumblebees Are Hard Workers B. Bumblebees Roll Balls for Food C. Bumblebees Are Selfless Insects D. Bumblebees Probably Enjoy Playing 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍一项新的研究，表明大黄蜂可能很享受玩乐。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“ As humans, we might believe that we are the smartest and perhaps the only creatures in the world capable of having feelings and subjective experience, but is this really the case? A new study finds that bumblebees (大黄蜂) like to play. They like to roll around small wooden balls with no apparent motivation—it likely makes them feel good. (作为人类，我们可能相信我们是世界上最聪明的，也许是唯一能够拥有感觉和主观体验的生物，但事实真的如此吗?一项新的研究发现，大黄蜂喜欢玩耍。他们喜欢在没有明显动机的情况下滚小木球——这可能会让他们感觉很好。)”可知，人类通常可能认为大黄蜂没有主观感受。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the latest experiment, they watched 45 bumblebees in an enclosed area where they could walk through a clear path to reach a feeding area, or they could go off the path into areas with wooden balls. They found the bumblebees went out of their way to sit on the balls or push them. Each rolled the balls between one and 117 times during the experiment. (在最新的实验中，他们在一个封闭的区域观察了45只大黄蜂，它们可以穿过一条畅通的小路到达觅食区，也可以离开小路进入有木球的区域。他们发现大黄蜂会特意坐在球上或推球。在实验中，每只大黄蜂滚动1到117次球。)”可知，在这个新研究的最新实验中，大黄蜂在玩球。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““The behavior was voluntary,” says study first-author Samadi Galpayage. “Bees have a reputation for being hard workers, but the prospect of bees engaging in something like play is really novel and exciting because it shows that bees may experience pleasure and don’t only carry out duties that are strictly essential for immediate survival.” (“这种行为是自愿的，”该研究的第一作者Samadi Galpayage说。“蜜蜂以努力工作而闻名，但蜜蜂参与玩耍等活动的前景确实是新颖而令人兴奋的，因为这表明蜜蜂可能会体验快乐，而不仅仅是执行对眼前生存至关重要的职责。”)”可推断，大黄蜂在新研究中的行为令Samadi Galpayage感到惊讶。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A new study finds that bumblebees (大黄蜂) like to play. They like to roll around small wooden balls with no apparent motivation—it likely makes them feel good. (一项新的研究发现，大黄蜂喜欢玩耍。他们喜欢在没有明显动机的情况下滚小木球——这可能会让他们感觉很好。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一个新的研究发现——大黄蜂可能很享受玩乐，所以D项“Bumblebees Probably Enjoy Playing(大黄蜂可能喜欢玩耍)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some children are born loving books, reading, and anything about literature.

Keep a variety of books around for your children to choose from and encourage your children to know more about their favorite topics, which can greatly inspire your children’s desire to read.”（一些孩子喜欢小说，而另一些孩子喜欢非小说。多准备各种书籍供孩子选择，鼓励孩子多了解自己喜欢的话题，这样可以极大地激发孩子的阅读欲望。）可知，该段讲的是鼓励孩子多了解自己喜欢的话题，找到自己感兴趣的书。结合选项B项Find relevant books that your child is interested in.（找到孩子感兴趣的相关书籍。）与该段内容一致，为总结该段内容。故选B项。 【19题详解】 由该题位于该段句尾，故为总结该段内容，或与上文内容相关。上文“Children love to chat about their favorite characters and scenes.”（孩子们喜欢谈论他们最喜欢的人物和场景。）结合选项F项They hope you understand exactly what they know about the books.（他们希望你能准确地理解他们对这些书的了解。）与上文内容相关，为上文内容的递进。选项中的they指代上文children。故选F项。 【20题详解】 由上文“especially books with lots of pictures.”（尤其是有很多图片的书。）引出话题。以及下文“There are fewer words for children to decode , and they can understand the plot and the jokes even at a lower reading level.”（有更少的单词供孩子们解码，他们可以理解情节和笑话，即使在较低的阅读水平。）故可推断，空格处内容为有图片书的优点。结合选项G项It’s one of the main advantage comic books (连环画) have over regular books.（这是漫画书比普通书的主要优势之一。）符合此推断内容，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The moment finally came.

Every vacation I looked forward to two things—seeing my grandpa and hearing his wonderful stories. My grandpa was a very good storyteller. He had worked various odd jobs when he was young and wove his adventures and misadventures into fantastic tales. These wonderful tales colored my childhood. As I grew up, I had to admit that Grandpa’s stories went on a little long, even a little boring and gradually lost their magic. However, not wanting to upset him, my brother and I would sometimes take turns sitting in the living room, listening to grandpa tell his stories. When my grandpa was approaching 91, he suffered from serious memory-loss. It was kind of what doctors called dementia (痴呆), probably the earliest stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Following the doctor’s directions, we moved him into a Sunrise Assisted Living Community, where he could get a better care. After that, grandpa hardly came to our house. One weekend before my grandpa’s birthday, I came to visit him. Seeing grandpa sitting in his armchair, dull-looking, I was consumed with mixed feelings. I wheeled grandpa to the sunshine in the courtyard, talking to him. He couldn’t express himself clearly and spoke in short bursts, but I listened to him patiently and carefully just as I used to be a little boy. It was then that I noticed a shadow box with some old and yellowish photos in it. I picked one up, in which my brother, several boys in our neighborhood, and I were playing basketball with grandpa cheering us on twenty years before. My mind flashed back to those beautiful memories. Back then, Grandpa was in good physical condition and we were all wearing basketball jerseys, playing and laughing with abandon. I presented the photo to my grandpa, pointing at each member and reminding him of their names. Incredibly, grandpa could speak out the name of every player. I even caught a soft light in grandpa’s eyes and a smile on his lips. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A bright idea for grandpa’s birthday came to my mind. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing “the same players” playing there, grandpa seemed to have thought of something. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A bright idea for grandpa’s birthday came to my mind. “Why not give grandpa a surprise?” I said to myself. I immediately got down to carrying out my plan. Luckily, I contacted all the players in the photo. To my great delight, they were greatly touched by the plan and all agreed to join in. To make the scene real, I even managed to find all the basketball jerseys, equipment and arrange for a similar-looking basketball court. The big day finally came. After wheeling my grandpa to the court, we began the special game. While playing, I kept an eye on grandpa, waiting for something deep down. Seeing “the same players” playing there, grandpa seemed to have thought of something. Glancing at grandpa again, I found him cheering us on just like 20 years before. Sitting in the warm sunlight, he cheered and clapped, with a bigger smile. For a while, my mind seemed to flash back to those beautiful days. Indeed, my plan somewhat worked. I was overjoyed that I could do something to delight Grandpa, an important person in my 1ife. I was not sure whether this birthday would stick in his mind, but one thing was certain: it’d definitely stick in mine. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的爷爷在作者小的时候经常给作者讲故事，现在爷爷老了，得了失忆症，住进了老人院。作者在爷爷生日前为爷爷策划了一个生日惊喜。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我想到了一个给爷爷过生日的好主意。”以及第二段首句“看到‘同一批打球的人’在那里玩，爷爷似乎想到了什么。”可知，第一段讲述的是作者为爷爷准备的惊喜就是把当年一起打球的人都聚集了起来。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到‘同一批打球的人’在那里玩，爷爷似乎想到了什么。”可知，第二段可叙述爷爷的反应和作者的感触。 2.续写线索：作者小时候爷爷的陪伴——爷爷患病住进老人院——爷爷状态不好——作者想为爷爷准备惊喜——作者联系当年打球的人——爷爷似乎想到了以往的时光 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①着手做……：get down to/set about doing ②成功做……：manage to do/succeed in doing/be able to do 情绪类 ①开心：with a big smile on his face/wearing a big smile on his face/smiling happily ②感动：be touched/be moved 【点睛】【高分句型1】I was overjoyed that I could do something to delight Grandpa, an important person in my 1ife. （运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】I was not sure whether this birthday would stick in his mind, but one thing was certain: it’d definitely stick in mine.（运用了whether引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度第二学期月考 高二英语 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，只交答题卡。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

It is easy to spot animals as the bush is less thick and animals gather around available water sources and rivers. It is the best time to witness the Great Migration herds. Accommodation cost will also be high, and as this is the busiest period, so bookings in advance are essential! Green season Months: April, May & November The long rains occur during April and May and short rains in November. Mornings are usually clear and dry, with clouds building into dramatic thunderstorms by late afternoon. A plus to travel during the green season is that fewer people are travelling, which means fewer people and low lodge(旅舍)prices. Some of the lodges and camps close down during these months. Shoulder season Months: December, January, February & March These shoulder months are a time of transition(过渡). Temperatures start to fall off, and migratory birds move on. Animals start to gather in areas where they know there will be water. For birdwatchers they are the best months, as in addition to the resident species, migratory birds, coming here from Europe to spend the winter, are also present. January and February are the best months to witness the birth of wildebeest, zebra and antelope. 1. What is special about the high season? A. It rains a lot. B. Lodge prices are high. C. More birds migrate here. D. Many zebras are born. 2. When can you spend the least money travelling to Masai Mara? A. In September. B. In October. C. In November. D. In December. 3. What is the text? A. A travel guide. B. A news report. C. A children’s story. D. A diary entry. B A mother, Carrie Cort, 51, from Sussex, and her nine-year-old son were named the UK's most environmentally friendly family after winning an award for their environmental achievements. Now every aspect of her life is environmentally friendly, from her son Adam's birthday parties to her clothing, and she recycles everything from used pens to milk bottle tops. ''Changing our family lifestyle to a green one has saved us around £ 11, 000 every year, which has given us more financial stability, " Carrie says. "Living green has made us healthier and I feel younger now. It is fun to see what you can make with unwanted or broken things. Growing your own food is great exercise, which is good for wildlife, and the food is much more nutritious and tastier." “My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really aroused in 2008 when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the planet we're bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university." She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living. Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son's birth. Later, she gave up her high-powered job, as she ran a video company with her brother, to do her job full-time. Today, she organizes talks and workshops. She runs a repair cafe, where people can bring everything to be fixed. Her recycling program helps people reuse wastes. Toothpaste tubes, for example, are turned into purses by an organization. My goal is to inspire more people to lead greener, more environmentally friendly lives, to enable us to live in greater harmony with nature, now and for future organizations. I achieve this by various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values." 4. How did Carrie feel about her environmentally friendly lifestyle? A. Unwanted. B. Unhealthy. C. Expensive. D. Economical. 5. When did Carrie begin to care about the lifestyle? A. After winning an award. B. After giving birth to her son. C. After being stuck in poverty, D. After attending green meetings. 6. What can we know about Carrie? A. She made good preparations for living green. B. She recycled what people ignored for fun. C. She does daily exercise by growing food. D. She majored in planet protection in university. 7. What does Carrie rely on to make her achievements? A. Her repair cafe and workshops. B. Her own programs and cooperation with others. C. Her well-paid job and her brother's support. D. Her independence of realizing her green dream. C Memory What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you watched a television programme? Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal experiences. A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists (心理学家) for this “childhood amnesia”. Now Annette Simms, a psychologist of Riverdale University, offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else’s spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, fast forgotten impressions of them into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them. Without this verbal reinforcement (语言强化), children cannot form permanent memories of what they have experienced. So why should personal memories depend so heavily on hearing them described? Dr. Simms presents evidence that the human mind organizes memories in that way. Children whose mothers talk with them about the day’s activities before bedtime tend to remember more of the day’s special event than those whose mothers don’t. Talking about an event in this way helps a child to remember it. And learning to organize memories as a continuous story is the key to a permanent mental “autobiography (自传)” of important life events. Dr. Simms suggests that we humans may be biologically programmed to turn our life experiences into a novel. The key to creating this mental life story is language, says Dr. Simms. “Children learn to talk about the past,” she says. “Talking to others about their short-term memories of the past leads to the establishment (建立) of long-term memories.” One way it does this is by helping a child to recognize that the retelling of an experience is just the experience itself, recreated in the form of words. The child learns that this “word-description” of an experience can then be stored in the memory and called back at any time. But a child’s language skills are usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their experiences. 8. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage? A. Children need to discuss experiences with their parents. B. Why can’t we remember the events of early childhood? C. Adults can’t remember things as well as children. D What are memories of early childhood like? 9. What does the word “amnesia” in the second paragraph mean? A. A mental life story. B. A childhood memory. C. Inability to remember. D. Researches on memory. 10. To form permanent memories of their experiences, young children need to ______. A. talk about them with others B. grow older than three or four C. write a story in their own language D. have a good relationship with their parents 11. According to Dr. Simms, the reason why children don’t form long-term memories before the age of three is that children ______. A can’t call back their experiences B. have nowhere to store the memories C. haven’t developed enough language skills D. confuse the memory with the experience itself D As humans, we might believe that we are the smartest and perhaps the only creatures in the world capable of having feelings and subjective experience, but is this really the case? A new study finds that bumblebees (大黄蜂) like to play. They like to roll around small wooden balls with no apparent motivation — it likely makes them feel good. Previous evidence suggests that bees have positive and negative emotion-like states usually when they are given food rewards to test their abilities. However, in an experiment of the new study, some researchers had trained bumblebees to roll balls into a target in exchange for a sweet treat. They noticed that sometimes bumblebees would roll the balls outside of the experiment area for no reward. This observation gave rise to new questions: What are they doing? Why? Is this random or intentional? To answer these questions, the researchers set up more experiments. In the latest experiment, they watched 45 bumblebees in an enclosed area where they could walk through a clear path to reach a feeding area, or they could go off the path into areas with wooden balls. They found the bumblebees went out of their way to sit on the balls or push them. Each rolled the balls between one and 117 times during the experiment. The researchers say that because they did it repeatedly with no food payoff, it suggests that the ball rolling was rewarding. “The behavior was voluntary,” says study first-author Samadi Galpayage. “Bees have a reputation for being hard workers, but the prospect of bees engaging in something like play is really novel and exciting because it shows that bees may experience pleasure and don’t only carry out duties that are strictly essential for immediate survival.” Galpayage adds, “Personally, I find this behavior fascinating because it tells us that bumblebees, like many other animals, are more than little robotic beings, but have a richer behavior and life than we would have previously thought.” 12.

Every vacation I looked forward to two things—seeing my grandpa and hearing his wonderful stories. My grandpa was a very good storyteller. He had worked various odd jobs when he was young and wove his adventures and misadventures into fantastic tales. These wonderful tales colored my childhood. As I grew up, I had to admit that Grandpa’s stories went on a little long, even a little boring and gradually lost their magic. However, not wanting to upset him, my brother and I would sometimes take turns sitting in the living room, listening to grandpa tell his stories. When my grandpa was approaching 91, he suffered from serious memory-loss. It was kind of what doctors called dementia (痴呆), probably the earliest stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Following the doctor’s directions, we moved him into a Sunrise Assisted Living Community, where he could get a better care. After that, grandpa hardly came to our house. One weekend before my grandpa’s birthday, I came to visit him. Seeing grandpa sitting in his armchair, dull-looking, I was consumed with mixed feelings. I wheeled grandpa to the sunshine in the courtyard, talking to him. He couldn’t express himself clearly and spoke in short bursts, but I listened to him patiently and carefully just as I used to be a little boy. It was then that I noticed a shadow box with some old and yellowish photos in it. I picked one up, in which my brother, several boys in our neighborhood, and I were playing basketball with grandpa cheering us on twenty years before. My mind flashed back to those beautiful memories. Back then, Grandpa was in good physical condition and we were all wearing basketball jerseys, playing and laughing with abandon. I presented the photo to my grandpa, pointing at each member and reminding him of their names. Incredibly, grandpa could speak out the name of every player. I even caught a soft light in grandpa’s eyes and a smile on his lips. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A bright idea for grandpa’s birthday came to my mind ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing “the same players” playing there, grandpa seemed to have thought of something. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
