Three years ago,Nikki Robinson found a little raccoon(浣熊) by the road.She saved him and after a bunch of attempts at taking him to wildlife centers and vets,Nikki was disappointed at the lack of help.However,her mother Linda had experience in raising raccoons and after a little persuasion,they took the little creature in.
They named him Little Hands and fell in love with the little raccoon.Linda and Nikki fed him,raised him,and eventually let him go.To their surprise,Little Hands kept coming back,sometimes after a few days,sometimes a few months.He would come back and ask for hugs,food,and just love.
Little Hands was taken care of by Linda.At first,he was set free onto her large property and was allowed to come and go as he pleased.He was very fearful of any human or animal that he didn’t grow up with,but would come back to visit them most nights.Linda would leave food out for him every night and sit outside on the porch swing before bed,waiting for his visit.The first thing he would do was that he would climb over to Linda on the swing,sit beside her,and want pats from her.
“Little Hands stayed with us for about two and a half months before he was fully released into the wild.He has always been a calm,peaceful raccoon,very loving and compassionate,even as he matured.But still wild enough he thrives on his own,” Nikki said.People asked Nikki what their reaction was when Little Hands returned to them.“Pure joy.And every time he came back it was a more and more joyous occasion especially because he wanted our attention as well as our food.”

Meng Wang is a professor of human genetics.She’s been doing experiments about one of the most exciting new areas of medicine—our microbiome(微生物群).
You can’t see it with the naked eye,but our microbiome is all over (and inside of) us.Recent studies show that it can influence how we behave and even how well we respond to different drugs.Wang says,“Sometimes our microbiomes make us sick,but on the other hand,they also play a very important role in keeping us healthy.”
Wang wanted to know whether our microbiome could influence aging.To test it,she decided to work with a kind of worm(虫子) that lives only two or three weeks.Her question was,what would happen if you changed a worm’s microbiome.Would it be able to live for longer?
Wang chose one of the types of bacteria(细菌) that lives inside a worm,changed its genes(基因) so as to make different varieties,and then fed this bacteria to the worms.Three weeks later—by the time they should have all died—she checked on them.To her excitement,she found that the worms had not died.Older worms usually act slowly.The ones with the new microbiomes,however,not only moved around more quickly in their old age,but were less likely affected by illness too.
Wang is now carrying out tests on mice to see whether changing their microbiomes can influence their lives in a similar way.There is a chance that one day we might take pills which do the same of us.How much longer could this possibly allow us to live for? “Personally,I think 100 is already a good number,” says Wang.
语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章讲述最近的研究表明,微生物群可以影响我们的行为方式,甚至影响我们对不同药物的反应,进而可能影响我们的寿命。

30.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Man can live as long as 100.
B.Microbiome works on mice similarly.
C.More tests need to be made.

When put to the test,bees have proved over and over again that they’ve got a lot more to offer than making honey and now some scientists say there’s proof that they also like to play.A study recently published in Animal Behavior suggests that bumblebees,when given the chance,like to fool around with toys.
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London conducted an experiment in which they set up a container that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area.But along the way,the bees could choose to pass through a separate section with several small wooden balls.Over 18 days,the scientists watched as the bees “went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly,though there seems to be no apparent cause to drive them to do so.”
The finding suggests that like humans,insects also interact with inanimate(无生命的) objects as a form of play.Also similar to people,younger bees seemed to be more playful than adult bees.“Previous research has shown that there are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment,but most examples come from young mammals and birds.This study provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more advanced than we might imagine,” Lars Chittka,who led the study,said.
The study’s first author,Samadi Galpayage,who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University,added that it is the evidence that insects may be able to experience feelings.“They can actually experience some kind of positive emotional states,even if basic,like other larger fluffy(覆有绒毛的) animals do.This sort of finding has led to our understanding of insects and will,hopefully,encourage us to respect and protect life on Earth ever more,” she said in the statement.
32.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The conclusion of the research.
B.The assumption about the bees.
C.The description of the experiment.
D.The reasons for conducting the experiment.
答案 C
解析 段落大意题。根据第二段“Researchers from Queen Mary University of London conducted an experiment in which they set up a container...Over 18 days,the scientists watched as the bees ‘went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly,though there seems to be no apparent cause to drive them to do so.’”可知,第二段主要是对实验的描述。故选C。
33.What does the underlined word “apparent” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Clear. B.Preventable.
C.Horrible. D.Different.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段的“But along the way,the bees could choose to pass through a separate section with several small wooden balls.”和画线词所在句可知,蜜蜂是主动选择去滚木球的,所以此处表示“尽管似乎没有明显的原因驱使它们这样做”,画线词apparent的意思是“明显的”,和clear意思相近,故选A。
34.What can we learn from the study?
A.Birds like to fool around with toys.
B.Toys are more enjoyable to adult bees.
C.Humans seldom interact with lifeless objects for fun.
D.Insect minds are better developed than we thought.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段的“This study provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more advanced than we might imagine”可知,我们能从这项研究中了解到昆虫的大脑比我们想象得要发达。故选D。
35.Which statement will Samadi Galpayage agree to?
A.Insects experience the same emotions as humans do.
B.Fluffy animals fail to show positive emotional states.
C.More work is needed to protect endangered life on Earth.
D.The finding improves our understanding of living things.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“This sort of finding has led to our understanding of insects and will,hopefully,encourage us to respect and protect life on Earth ever more”可知,Samadi Galpayage会同意的是这一发现增进了我们对生物的理解。故选D。
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。
Last year I moved to the countryside,a neighbourhood full of young families. 36 Without anyone really noticing,smart doorbells have quietly become very popular.
Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised.For somewhere between $30 and $200,you can make sure that you never miss a delivery again.Whether you’re in the garden or on the other side of the world,if someone rings your bell,you’ll know who’s calling because of the built-in camera.And if you can’t get to the door,you can even talk back to them using your phone. 37 They may be people who don’t work from home,people who can’t walk easily,or people like me,who are lazy.
However,making certain which doorbell to buy is difficult as there are many different types to choose from.So how should you choose which one will work best for your home?
38 Some doorbells have a wider field of view than others,meaning the camera will see more.One increasingly common feature(特征) on doorbells is a second camera that points down towards the ground to see any packages that have been dropped outside your door.
But in my view,the most important part when picking a smart doorbell is safety. 39 That is because a smart doorbell is to protect your home,but considering your doorbell camera will be recording exactly when you enter and leave your own home,it’s important to make sure your data is kept safe.
And finally,the big question:Which brand(品牌) should you go for? I’d recommend choosing a big name you have heard of.Because while you might pay a little more than others,it will make you safer. 40
A.Here are features to look out for.
B.Besides,it’s a great idea for everyone.
C.This might sound like a strange concern.
D.The most obvious thing to look at is features.
E.It might only cost you £35 for the actual hardware.
F.It will also probably be more dependable in the long term.
G.While walking through it,I noticed something unexpected.
36.答案 G
解析 根据下文“Without anyone really noticing,smart doorbells have quietly become very popular.”可知,智能门铃已悄然流行起来,这是作者在村子里发现的出乎意料的事情,与选项G意义一致。故选G。
37.答案 B
解析 根据上文“Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised...you can even talk back to them using your phone.”和下文“They may be people who don’t work from home,people who can’t walk easily,or people like me,who are lazy.”可知,此处也是智能门铃的优点,且是关于智能门铃适合所有人。选项B符合语境。故选B。
38.答案 D
解析 下文“Some doorbells have a wider field of view...One increasingly common feature(特征) on doorbells is a second camera that...”提到智能门铃的两种特征及其优点。选项D提出最明显的对比不同产品的角度是门铃的特点,引起下文,符合语境。故选D。
39.答案 C
解析 根据上文“But in my view,the most important part when picking a smart doorbell is safety.”和下文“That is because a smart doorbell is to protect your home...it’s important to make sure your data is kept safe.”可知,此处应引出为什么安全性很重要。选项C和上下文衔接自然,This指代上文的“the most important part when picking a smart doorbell is safety”。故选C。
40.答案 F
解析 根据上文“I’d recommend choosing a big name you have heard of.Because while you might pay a little more than others,it will make you safer.”可知,购买智能门铃时选择大品牌会更安全。由此推知,空处继续陈述选择大品牌的好处。选项F强调了长期的可靠性,和上文衔接自然。故选F。

第二节 (共10 小题;每小题1.5 分,满分 15 分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Accompanied by a guitar,Abao and his daughter Emily sing a famous Chinese ancient poem song.The music 56. (compose) by Abao.The lyrics(歌词) are familiar 57._____________ most Chinese people,as they are from one of the most well-known ancient poems “A Tranquil Night” by the great Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai.
Abao,a Chinese teacher working at 58. public school in Australia,has set more than 60 ancient Chinese poems to music,the universal language of the world,so his students can 59. (well) appreciate these ancient works.So far,the method 60._______________(prove) popular among these young people 61. (come) from very different cultural backgrounds.
It was not an easy journey 62. (figure) out the best way to put these poems to music.Abao noted that Chinese is a language of melody(旋律),63. English is a language of rhythm(节奏),so how to make native English-speakers properly understand both the tone and meaning of these ancient poems was a challenge.
“The idea of my 64. (create) is to use Western music as a framework(框架) for the traditional Chinese poem,so that the Chinese tones and the melody can be very integrated.Chinese people feel that it is very fresh,and children 65. grew up here can also accept it.These works have Chinese classical beauty,” Abao said.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在澳大利亚工作的中文老师Abao给《静夜思》等60多首古诗谱曲,把中国诗词之美唱给全世界的故事。
56.答案 is/was composed
解析 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。此处介绍作者,表示客观陈述或者侧重动作发生在过去均可,所以应用一般现在时或一般过去时,music与compose之间为被动关系,故应用被动语态,且主语是单数,谓语动词用单数。故填is/was composed。
57.答案 to
解析 考查介词。短语be familiar to sb意为“为某人所熟悉”,是固定搭配。故填to。
58.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。school为可数名词,此处为首次提到,泛指一所公立学校,空格处用不定冠词,public是辅音音素开头,故填a。
59.答案 better
解析 考查比较级。修饰动词appreciate应用副词作状语,结合句意,此处表示“所以学生可以更好地欣赏这些古代作品”,应用比较级。故填better。
60.答案 has proved/proven
解析 考查动词时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知空处应填谓语动词的形式,prove是连系动词,可用于结构:prove+adj.,依据So far可知应用现在完成时,句子主语the method为单数,助动词用has。故填has proved/proven。
61.答案 coming
解析 考查非谓语动词。句中谓语是has proved/proven,空处应填非谓语动词的形式,young people与come之间为主动关系,应用现在分词表主动,作定语。故填coming。
62.答案 to figure
解析 考查非谓语动词。It be+n.+to do sth.是固定用法,其中It是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式,故填to figure。
63.答案 while
解析 考查连词。“Chinese is a language of melody”和“English is a language of rhythm”是并列关系,表对比,空格处意为“而”,用并列连词while,故填while。
64.答案 creation
解析 考查名词。The idea of my 是名词所有格结构,空格处应填名词形式,表示“创作”,是抽象含义,故填creation。
65.答案 that/who
解析 考查定语从句。空格处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为children,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that/who引导。故填that/who。

Forrest Gump,directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks,is one of the most inspirational films that leave a deep impression on me.
This film is based on the novel of the same name by Winston Groom.It depicts several decades in the life of Forrest Gump who is unfortunately born with a low IQ but an open-minded person with strong determination.He witnesses and unwittingly influences several defining historical events in the 20th-century United States.He achieves great success at last.
The film is filled with tender feelings and kindness.Furthermore,it conveys a message that we should take a positive attitude towards life.All things considered,this is a real masterpiece.
第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
With my parents away on a business trip,I planned to spend a quiet weekend at home.But when my friends,Chickie and Dom,invited me to join them for an afternoon at the beach,I was attracted.“I had an asthma(哮喘) attack yesterday,and it really tired me out,” I warned them.“So I’ll probably just lie out on the sand.”
A few hours later,relaxing under a sun umbrella after a picnic lunch,I was glad I’d come.Chickie and Dom went for a swim.They liked to go far out into the sea.I was bathed in the sun until I got too hot,then took a walk down to the shore.
For a few minutes I just let the waves lap around my legs.The ocean was smooth as glass.I could float on my back as if I were in a swimming pool,I thought,and did.I closed my eyes and enjoyed the gentle rocking.
After some time,I opened my eyes and looked around.How did I get so far from shore? I hadn’t realized how quickly the sea was carrying me.
I started swimming as quick and hard as I could.Even so I wasn’t getting any closer,and it was becoming harder to breathe.I turned around,looking for help,but I seemed to be completely alone in the water.Far off on the sand I could see people packing up their belongings.It must be nearly five o’clock,I thought.That’s when the lifeguard went off duty.
A wave slapped(拍打) my face and I swallowed salt water.My chest was already burning as I struggled to breathe.In desperation I raised one hand and waved it to get the lifeguard’s attention.“I’ll never last till he reaches me,” I thought.“They’re all too far away.I can’t get myself heard here and nobody even sees me!”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Fortunately,two young men happened to swim by.
Chickie and Dom were waiting anxiously on the beach.
参考范文
Fortunately,two young men happened to swim by. “Help,” I managed to whisper.One of them grabbed my arm.The other grabbed his arm.Together they pulled me toward the shore.The lifeguard rushed into the water with his board.He tried to convince me that the water was shallow so that I could just stand.However,I shook my head.I was too exhausted to stand,much less walk.They laid me over the board.“You were caught in a tide,” the lifeguard said as the three carried me onto the sand.
Chickie and Dom were waiting anxiously on the beach.They were scared when they saw me being carried out of the water.I showed my sincere gratitude to the two young men who saved me.And the lifeguard warned us to be careful while swimming and never swim alone.Chickie and Dom took care of me and made sure I was okay.It was a quiet reminder that one should always be careful and never underestimate the power of nature,even on a supposedly gentle day at the beach.
