They soon began trying to move these owls to some protected grasslands. In order to make the birds 31 more “at home”, scientists played the recording sound of owl calls 32 these areas. They also used white paint to make fake droppings (假粪便) of the owls. This made the birds 33 that other owls were living there. As a result, they 34 their new homes and stayed there.

I also have a dog, and I used to have a turtle (龟), but it ran away. It was the one who liked meat and potatoes. I disliked the strong smell of boiled vegetables. Then, when I was sixteen, we moved to Salinas, California next to the Simon’s house. They were our neighbors. One Sunday, Marc Simon and I were doing math homework and laughing at our own jokes. Mr. and Mrs. Simon were in their garden. “Would you like to stay for dinner?” Mr. Simon asked. “I have the grill (烤炉) on.” Expecting (预料) hamburgers, I said yes happily. Then I saw that he carried a basket of vegetables. He had all the kinds I hated, and some I’d never seen before. Even the potatoes were strange. Wow! They were purple. Who had ever heard of purple potatoes? But meat wasn’t on the menu. Nervously, I watched as Mr. Simon grilled some vegetables and Mrs. Simon made a salad with the rest. “You’ve never had vegetables like these before,” said Marc proudly. “It’s true,”. I agreed weakly. Imagine how I felt. Dinner was soon ready. “Here you go,” said Mr. Simon, “Dig in.” Dig in? I wanted to dig a hole in the yard and bury (埋藏) my dinner. Instead, I took a small eat, then another, and another with a faster speed. What a surprise! The tastes were good. I liked the corn and green beans. The purple potatoes were delicious, too. Today, I still eat hamburgers. However, that dinner changed my opinion on vegetables. 46．What did the writer think of vegetables at the beginning? A．They were hard to grow. B．They were usually expensive. C．They were good for our health. D．They only could be eaten by our pets. 47．Why did the writer want to have dinner at Simon’s house?

But if you think you have a better memory than a chimpanzee’s (黑猩猩). Well, you may be wrong! Tetsuro Matszawa, a scientist from Kyoto University, Japan has showed how chimpanzees have far better memories than people. How do chimpanzees have better memories than us? Scientists tested four chimpanzees and people. They showed them five numbers on a computer screen. Chimpanzees and people had to remember the numbers correctly. But to make it hard, the numbers disappeared (消失) after 0.7 second. Then they changed the time to 0.2 second. When people began to make mistakes, the young chimpanzees still did very well. “After many tests, we find that chimpanzees have great memories,” Matszawa said, “You can do things to improve your memory. But you will never be a match for them.” Why do they have better memories? We share 98.8 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees. But during evolution (进化), we lost some of our shared abilities. As people learn new skills, like language, we have to lose some of our memory skills to make room in our brains. “To get something, we have to lose something,” said the scientist. Chimpanzees need good memories to live better. When a chimpanzee looks up at the big tree and picks a banana, he can’t forget where he saw it when he beats other animals. That’s why chimpanzees still have better memories than us. 51．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To learn about readers’ memory. B．To tell readers the facts about the memories. C．To answer reader’s questions about memories. D．To make readers interested in knowing about memories. 52．How did the scientist test the memories between chimpanzees and people? A．Gave them a computer and asked them to remember correctly. B．Asked them to listen to music and remember it correctly. C．Showed them some numbers and asked them to remember correctly. D．Showed them some pictures and asked them to draw correctly. 53．What does the underline word “them” in Paragraph 5 referto? A．People. B．Chimpanzees. C．Tests. D．Memory. 54．What CAN’T we learn from the passage? A．All of people’s DNA are the same as chimpanzees. B．Chimpanzees with good memories can get more food. C．Chimpanzees can remember numbers longer than people. D．To learn more things, people lose some memories about other things. 55．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Good memories make animals live better. B．Chimpanzees’ memories are better than people. C．We should protect chimpanzees as much as possible. D．People can improve their memories by learning new things. 【答案】51．D 52．C 53．B 54．A 55．B 【解析】本文通过提出人们记忆力是否比黑猩猩好的疑问，引出科学家对黑猩猩和人类记忆力的测试，阐述了黑猩猩记忆力更好的原因及相关知识。 51．推理判断题。根据“Maybe your memory is better than all of your friends. But if you think you have a better memory than a chimpanzee’s (黑猩猩). Well, you may be wrong!”可知通过这种对比，引发读者对黑猩猩记忆力的兴趣，让读者想了解更多相关内容，所以目的是让读者对黑猩猩的记忆力感兴趣。故选D。 52．细节理解题。根据“Scientists tested four chimpanzees and people. They showed them five numbers on a computer screen. Chimpanzees and people had to remember the numbers correctly”可知，科学家给黑猩猩和人类展示数字，让他们正确记住，以此测试记忆力。故选C。 53．词义猜测题。前文提到黑猩猩记忆力很好，这里“You will never be a match for them”意思是你永远比不上它们（黑猩猩），“them”指代黑猩猩。故选B。 54．细节理解题。根据“We share 98.8 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees”可知只是有 98.8% 的 DNA 相同，并非全部相同，A 选项说法错误。故选A。 55．主旨大意题。文章主要围绕黑猩猩的记忆力比人类好展开，介绍了测试过程和原因等。故选B。 D A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports experts. If sports aren’t going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you  play sports every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛的) the next day? Wouldn’t it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons? In fact, there are a lot of reasons to play sports. First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in good condition (状态). When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (内啡肽). The more endorphins your body makes, the happier and more active you will be. Also, sports teach young people how to get on with others and work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their teachers, teammates and players from the other team. Sports can help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she may have fewer problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed. Another good reason of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching TV and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important. Maybe you’re not going to become a sports expert, but that doesn’t matter. Sports will help you become a better and happier person. 56．Why does the writer use a lot of questions in Paragraph 1? A．To ask for advice. B．To lead into the topic (引出话题). C．To get answers from readers. D．To show his worries about sports. 57．What’s the possible relationship between endorphins (x) and happy feelings (y) ? A． B． C． D． 58．What is important according to Paragraph 4? A．Getting on well with others. B．Going outside and taking in fresh air. C．Respecting players from the other team.

He always finds 61 new and surprising when he travels around China. What’s his 62 (big) surprise of all? Let’s see what he said. “In China every place where I go, I am always surprised. Living in China, I don’t need to carry the cash. I can see tall 63 (build), clean and wide roads everywhere. These are all symbols of the fast speed of development.” Recently, another thing that surprised Mahedi is an answer 64 their letter from President Xi. The international students of Peking University wrote a letter to President Xi. To their surprise, President Xi wrote back to them. When the reply was sent back to them, every one of them felt so 65 (excite). In his reply, President Xi said an old saying, “Seeing is 66 (believe).” That means it’s better to see once than to hear 100 times. He also welcomed these foreign students to travel around China, see more of 67 (today) China, learn about it and let other people know what they have seen here. “I think it’s the best way to understand China. I 68 (live) in Beijing for 4 years. It is the most convenient and friendliest city that I have 69 seen,” said Mahedi. “I hope during my next days in China, I’ll get more surprises from China. I think 70 more places I travel, the broader my vision (视野) will be and the more surprises China will bring to me.” 【答案】 61．something 62．biggest 63．buildings 64．to 65．excited 66．believing 67．today’s 68．have lived 69．ever 70．the 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了来自孟加拉国的北京大学留学生马赫迪・哈桑・桑尼在中国的经历和感受，包括他对中国发展的惊讶以及收到习近平主席回信的激动心情，体现了他对中国的喜爱和期待。 61．句意：当他在中国旅行时，总是发现一些新鲜和令人惊讶的事情。根据“new and surprising when he travels around China”可知，此处是指当他在中国旅行时，他总是发现一些新鲜和令人惊讶的事情；考查something“某事，某物”，复合不定代词，常用于肯定句中。故填something。 62．句意：他所有惊喜中最大的是什么呢？根据“of all”可和，此处是指在所有的惊喜中程度最深的，应用形容词big的最高级形式biggest，在句中作定语，修饰名词“surprise”。故填biggest。 63．句意：我到处都能看到高楼大厦、干净宽阔的道路。根据空前“tall”可知，此处是指高楼大厦，应用build的名词复数形式buildings“建筑物”表泛指。故填buildings。 64．句意：最近，另一件让马赫迪感到惊讶的事情是习近平主席给他们的信的回复。an answer to...“……的答案/回复”，固定搭配，应用介词to。故填to。 65．句意：当回复寄给他们时，他们每个人都感到非常兴奋。根据上文“To their surprise, President Xi wrote back to them.”可知，令他们惊讶的是，习主席给他们回信了，所以此处是指他们每个人感到很兴奋，应用excite的形容词形式excited“感到兴奋的”，在句中作系动词“felt”的表语，用来形容他们的感受。故填excited。 66．句意：在他的回复中，习近平主席说了一句老话：“眼见为实”。根据“Seeing is …”可知，此处是指眼见为实，应用believe的动名词形式believing作表语，与 “seeing”相对应，表达一种抽象的概念。故填believing。 67．句意：他还欢迎这些外国学生在中国各地旅行，多看看当今的中国，了解中国，并让他们把在这里的所见所闻告诉其他人。根据空后“China”可知，此处是指当今的中国，应用today的所有格形式today’s“今天的，当今的”，在句中作定语，修饰“China”。故填today’s。 68．句意：我已经在北京生活了4年。根据“for 4 years”可知，句子时态为现在完成时，其结构是have/has done，主语是“I”，助动词应用have，动词live的过去分词为lived。故填have lived。 69．句意：“这是我所见过的最便捷、最友好的城市，”马赫迪说道。根据“have … seen”可知，此处考查ever“曾经”，用于现在完成时中，强调到目前为止的经历。故填ever。 70．句意：我认为我旅行的地方越多，我的视野就会越开阔，中国带给我的惊喜就会越多。根据“more places I travel, the broader my vision”可知，此处考查“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，表示“越……，越……”。故填the。 六、阅读理解七选五（满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you know “20 minutes for parks”? It’s all about the idea that spending just 20 minutes in a park each day can help you become healthier and happier. 71 Huang Bingbing living in Shenzhen is one of them. She began visiting the small park near her working place during her weekday lunch breaks three years ago. On the grass, she can be closer to living plants and animals. It helps her clear the mind and take a rest from work. Huang believes parks are like your own secret hiding place. She thinks herself a quiet person. 72 She enjoys spending time alone in parks without worrying about anything. Parks are also shared spaces. 73 “Parks help people find joy without opening their wallets,” Liu Xie, a young stage designer explained. At the same time, parks are public (公共的) spaces as well. Cheng Yuyan, 25, the starter of the “We Love Strolling in the Park” group on Douban, noticed something interesting during her visits to parks in Japan. 74 Local people gave them to the parks for free. Also, many parks offer guidebooks describing the history, geography and blooming schedules (花开时间表) of the plants inside. After her trip to Japan, Cheng plans to ask members of her Douban group to take on similar responsibilities (责任). “ 75 I hope this group will show more social responsibilities,” she said.

D．There are park benches with people’s names on them. E．The government plans to build more parks in the future. F．So the park is an excellent relaxing place for people like her.

She began visiting the small park near her working place during her weekday lunch breaks three years ago.”可知，现在有很多年轻人选择去公园，所以选项G“如今，中国的年轻人选择更频繁地去公园”符合语境。故选G。 72．根据前文“Huang believes parks are like your own secret hiding place. She thinks herself a quiet person.”可知，公园对于像她这样安静的人来说是一个很好的放松地方，所以选项F“所以公园对于像她这样的人来说是个很好的放松的地方”符合语境。故选F。 73．根据后文“ ‘Parks help people find joy without opening their wallets,’ Liu Xie, a young stage designer explained.”可知，公园与购物中心和电影院等消费场所不同，所以选项A“它们与购物中心和电影院不同”符合语境。故选A。 74．根据后文“Local people gave them to the parks for free.”可知，当地人免费把它们捐赠给公园。因此应该是在说公园里有一些东西，所以选项D“有刻着人们名字的公园长椅”符合语境。故选D。 75．根据后文“I hope this group will show more social responsibilities,”可知，每个人都可以为公园和城市做些什么，所以选项C“每个人都可以为公园和城市做些事情”符合语境。故选C。 七、书面表达（共两节，满分35分） 第一节情境运用（10分） 根据所提供的图画情景，用一个完整的句子提问或应答。 76． A: ?

They make homes in underground burrows (洞穴) and prefer to 23 in groups. In California, there is another kind of owls 24 the Western Burrowing Owl. In the past, these owls lived in the grasslands. Later, people began 25 cities on many of the grasslands. This drove the owls off 26 burrows. So some of these birds were unable to 27 new homes.

A．a park B．the Internet C．a storybook D．a school notice B I used to believe that most vegetables were only good for feeding our pet rabbit. I also have a dog, and I used to have a turtle (龟), but it ran away. It was the one who liked meat and potatoes. I disliked the strong smell of boiled vegetables. Then, when I was sixteen, we moved to Salinas, California next to the Simon’s house. They were our neighbors. One Sunday, Marc Simon and I were doing math homework and laughing at our own jokes. Mr. and Mrs. Simon were in their garden. “Would you like to stay for dinner?” Mr. Simon asked. “I have the grill (烤炉) on.” Expecting (预料) hamburgers, I said yes happily. Then I saw that he carried a basket of vegetables. He had all the kinds I hated, and some I’d never seen before. Even the potatoes were strange. Wow! They were purple. Who had ever heard of purple potatoes? But meat wasn’t on the menu. Nervously, I watched as Mr. Simon grilled some vegetables and Mrs. Simon made a salad with the rest. “You’ve never had vegetables like these before,” said Marc proudly. “It’s true,”. I agreed weakly. Imagine how I felt. Dinner was soon ready. “Here you go,” said Mr. Simon, “Dig in.” Dig in? I wanted to dig a hole in the yard and bury (埋藏) my dinner. Instead, I took a small eat, then another, and another with a faster speed. What a surprise! The tastes were good. I liked the corn and green beans. The purple potatoes were delicious, too. Today, I still eat hamburgers. However, that dinner changed my opinion on vegetables. 46．What did the writer think of vegetables at the beginning? A．They were hard to grow. B．They were usually expensive. C．They were good for our health. D．They only could be eaten by our pets. 47．Why did the writer want to have dinner at Simon’s house? A．Because he was hungry at that time B．Because he wanted to eat the vegetables. C．Because he thought he would eat hamburgers. D．Because his parents had no time to make dinner that day. 48．How did the writer feel when he finally saw the dinner? A．Nervous. B．Excited. C．Worried. D．Angry. 49．What did the writer do with the food? A．He dug a hole and buried it. B．He kept silent and didn’t eat it. C．He gave it back and went home. D．He tried to eat it and found it delicious. 50．What is the best title for the text? A．How to eat green vegetables B．My opinion on eating vegetables C．My opinion on vegetables changed D．Ways to get on well with neighbors C Do you have a good memory (记忆)? Maybe your memory is better than all of your friends. But if you think you have a better memory than a chimpanzee’s (黑猩猩). Well, you may be wrong! Tetsuro Matszawa, a scientist from Kyoto University, Japan has showed how chimpanzees have far better memories than people. How do chimpanzees have better memories than us? Scientists tested four chimpanzees and people. They showed them five numbers on a computer screen. Chimpanzees and people had to remember the numbers correctly. But to make it hard, the numbers disappeared (消失) after 0.7 second. Then they changed the time to 0.2 second. When people began to make mistakes, the young chimpanzees still did very well. “After many tests, we find that chimpanzees have great memories,” Matszawa said, “You can do things to improve your memory. But you will never be a match for them.” Why do they have better memories? We share 98.8 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees. But during evolution (进化), we lost some of our shared abilities. As people learn new skills, like language, we have to lose some of our memory skills to make room in our brains. “To get something, we have to lose something,” said the scientist. Chimpanzees need good memories to live better. When a chimpanzee looks up at the big tree and picks a banana, he can’t forget where he saw it when he beats other animals. That’s why chimpanzees still have better memories than us. 51．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To learn about readers’ memory. B．To tell readers the facts about the memories. C．To answer reader’s questions about memories. D．To make readers interested in knowing about memories. 52．How did the scientist test the memories between chimpanzees and people? A．Gave them a computer and asked them to remember correctly. B．Asked them to listen to music and remember it correctly. C．Showed them some numbers and asked them to remember correctly. D．Showed them some pictures and asked them to draw correctly. 53．What does the underline word “them” in Paragraph 5 referto? A．People. B．Chimpanzees. C．Tests. D．Memory. 54．What CAN’T we learn from the passage? A．All of people’s DNA are the same as chimpanzees. B．Chimpanzees with good memories can get more food. C．Chimpanzees can remember numbers longer than people. D．To learn more things, people lose some memories about other things. 55．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Good memories make animals live better. B．Chimpanzees’ memories are better than people. C．We should protect chimpanzees as much as possible. D．People can improve their memories by learning new things. D A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports experts. If sports aren’t going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you  play sports every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛的) the next day? Wouldn’t it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons? In fact, there are a lot of reasons to play sports. First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in good condition (状态). When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (内啡肽). The more endorphins your body makes, the happier and more active you will be. Also, sports teach young people how to get on with others and work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their teachers, teammates and players from the other team. Sports can help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she may have fewer problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed.
