It all started last year in August when the woman shared on her social media that she had brought home a baby crow (乌鸦). With his parents nowhere to be seen, the family decided to keep the little bird and named him Russell. Since then, the family have taken good care of Russell and Russell has also become Otto’s friend. “Russell is a wild bird. He’s not around all the time, but when Otto is outside, he’ll never leave Otto’s side,” says Luna. “They have a special bond,” she adds. In all of the shared videos, we can see how two-year-old Otto is patiently followed by Russell no matter where the little kid goes or what he does. It’s important to mention here that crows are considered very social; they have great memories and can use tools. Some scientists compare the intelligence (智力) of the crow even to a seven-year-old child’s. So it’s not so surprising that Russell is so happy in Otto’s company and is so close to this loving family. Otto and Russell’s friendship shows that where there is care and attention, there’s true love and joy. 39. Why did the family decide to keep the crow? A. Because Otto showed an interest in the crow. B. Because they couldn’t find the crow’s parents. C. Because the crow refused to leave their house. D. Because Luna had always wanted to have a pet. 40. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The special ability that crows have. B. How Luna makes her videos popular. C. How Otto makes friends with a wild bird. D. The special bond between Otto and Russell. 41. What does the writer want to tell us through the text? A. Birds can be humans’ pets. B. A loving family is a present. C. We should learn from birds. D. Our care and love will pay off. 42. What is the theme (主题) of the text? A. Science and technology. B. Personal growth. C. Humans and nature. D. Human society. 【答案】39. B 40. D 41. D 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Otto的母亲Luna将小乌鸦Russell带回家并决定收留它，小乌鸦Russell和两岁的Otto建立了令人羡慕的友谊，他们的友谊也向我们证明了：哪里有呵护与关爱，哪里就会有真爱和欢乐。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“With his parents nowhere to be seen, the family decided to keep the little bird and named him Russell.”可知，Luna和她的家人之所以决定收留小乌鸦是因为他们没能找到小乌鸦的父母。故选B。 【40题详解】 段落大意题。根据第三段“Russell has also become Otto’s friend...when Otto is outside, he’ll never leave Otto’s side...They have a special bond...Otto is patiently followed by Russell no matter where the little kid goes or what he does.”可知，本段主要讲述了Otto和Russell之间特殊的感情。故选D。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“where there is care and attention, there’s true love and joy”并结合全文可知，本文主要讲述了小男孩Otto和小乌鸦Russell之间的友谊，作者想要告诉我们：我们所付出的关心与爱总会得到回报。故选D。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。本文讲述了两岁的Otto与小乌鸦Russell之间的故事，由此可知，本文的主题是“人与自然”。故选C。 C Have you ever got the feeling that there aren’t enough hours in the day? Time is racing away from you, and it’s impossible to fit everything in. But then, you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower and more relaxing. Recent research showed nature could change our sense of time. According to the research, for many of us, the need of work and care for family means we’re always feeling like we don’t have enough time. The Internet makes our working hours longer and makes it difficult for us to stay long with friends and family. It suggests the way to solve this problem may lie in the natural world. Expert Richardo Correia read the research which compared people’s experiences of time when they carried out different tasks in urban (城市的) and natural environments. Finally, he found being in nature gives us the sense that we have enough time. At the same time, it not only changes our sense of time in the present, but also that of the past and the future. Spending time in nature can help to change our focus from the present to our future needs. 43. How may a worker feel in his office on work days? A. He may feel very relaxed. B. He may feel time passes fast. C. He may feel nothing to do. D. He may feel time runs slowly. 44. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The Internet. B. The work. C. The sense of time. D. The research. 45. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Nature can change our sense of time. B. We can step into nature to relax ourselves. C. Different environments can cause different feelings. D. We should always stay in natural environment. 【答案】43. B 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了自然如何影响我们对时间的感知。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Time is racing away from you, and it’s impossible to fit everything in.”和第二段“the need of work and care for family means we’re always feeling like we don’t have enough time”可知，工作者在工作日会感觉时间不够用，即时间过得很快。故选B。 【44题详解】 代词指代题。根据第二段“According to the research, for many of us, the need of work and care for family means we’ re always feeling like we don’t have enough time. The Internet makes our working hours longer and makes it difficult for us to stay long with friends and family. It suggests the way to solve this problem may lie in the natural world.”（根据这项研究，对我们中的许多人来说，工作和照顾家庭的需要意味着我们总是觉得我们没有足够的时间。互联网使我们的工作时间更长，使我们很难与朋友和家人待在一起。这表明解决这个问题的方法可能在自然界中。）可知，“It”指代的是前文提到的“research”。故选D。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“Recent research showed nature could change our sense of time.”和第三段专家Ricardo Correia的研究结论可知，文章主要讲的是自然可以改变我们对时间的感觉。故选A。 D A nap (小睡) is an important part of the afternoon in many countries around the world. In China, people call it wushui. In Italian, it’s riposo. And the Spanish word for it is siesta. Could these naps be good for our brains? Three scientists worked on this study and Valentina Paz led the study. She wanted to know if daytime napping could be beneficial to brain health. “Keeping the brain healthy is important for well-being,” Paz explained. The scientists examined the brains of thousands of people They studied their DNA too. And they found a connection between taking naps and having better brain health. People with bigger brains are usually healthier and have a lower risk of developing an illness. However, our brains get smaller as we get older. The study showed that people who took naps often had bigger brains! In an earlier study, scientists compared the maths test results of 3,000 people in China and they found that an hour-long nap after lunch helped the people score better. However, these studies don’t prove that napping causes bigger brains. After all, it is possible that people with bigger brains just like to nap more! Paz hopes her research can teach people about the value of sleep. “Sleep plays an important role in keeping the brain healthy. When we do not get enough sleep, we could develop health problems,” she said. 46. Why does the writer mention the ways to say the word “nap” in different languages? A. To show a nap is important in many countries. B. To show learning different languages is useful. C. To show he is good at speaking different languages. D. To show a nap improves people’s language learning ability. 47. What does the underlined word “beneficial” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Harmful. B. Opposite. C. Similar. D. Helpful. 48. Which of the following does Paz agree with? A. Napping causes bigger brains. B. Napping helps keep brain healthy. C. Brains get bigger as people get older. D. People with bigger brains enjoy more naps. 49. What’s Paz’s hope? A. Her study can call attention to the living environment. B. Her study can encourage people to have enough sleep. C. Her study can help people solve different brain problems. D. Her study can provide a new direction for future research. 【答案】46. A 47. D 48. B 49.

However, the number is becoming bigger because of human activities. And it’s caused environmental problems around the world in the past few years. Chinese scientists have tried to prevent land from being desert. And the situation in China has become better because of their hard work. However, many countries in Africa are facing the serious problem of desertification (沙漠化). Kano is a city in the north of Nigeria. It’s also on the southern side of the Sahara Desert—the world’s biggest desert. A Chinese science team has been working on a project with local villagers to help prevent their homeland from being desert. In 2023, they planted lots of small trees to do studies and tests. And the scientists have decided to make the area larger to build a green wall between Kano and the Sahara. Bala Muhammad is a local villager. He works as a gardener for the project. He gets water twice a day from a hole about one kilometer away to water the small trees. The village is at least 20 kilometers away from the Sahara Desert, but Muhammad still fears it will become part of the desert one day. “I hope the trees will grow big and tall in a few years so that they can help build a green home for us,” Muhammad said. 50.

Little Cat again dropped his fishing rod and tried to catch it. Of course, he failed again. Feeling awful, Little Cat returned to the riverside, only to find that Old Cat had caught another big fish. “Why can’t I catch even a little fish?” Little Cat cried. Old Cat replied, “If you’re fishing, just fish. You can’t expect to catch fish while spending your time catching dragonflies.” After listening to Old Cat’s words, Little Cat began to fish carefully. The dragonflies flew over again, but Little Cat didn’t even raise his eyes. He held the fishing rod and waited patiently.

B Millions of hearts were moved when Luna shared on her social media this truly special bond (纽带) between her son Otto and the wild bird. It all started last year in August when the woman shared on her social media that she had brought home a baby crow (乌鸦). With his parents nowhere to be seen, the family decided to keep the little bird and named him Russell. Since then, the family have taken good care of Russell and Russell has also become Otto’s friend. “Russell is a wild bird. He’s not around all the time, but when Otto is outside, he’ll never leave Otto’s side,” says Luna. “They have a special bond,” she adds. In all of the shared videos, we can see how two-year-old Otto is patiently followed by Russell no matter where the little kid goes or what he does. It’s important to mention here that crows are considered very social; they have great memories and can use tools. Some scientists compare the intelligence (智力) of the crow even to a seven-year-old child’s. So it’s not so surprising that Russell is so happy in Otto’s company and is so close to this loving family. Otto and Russell’s friendship shows that where there is care and attention, there’s true love and joy. 39. Why did the family decide to keep the crow? A. Because Otto showed an interest in the crow. B. Because they couldn’t find the crow’s parents. C. Because the crow refused to leave their house. D. Because Luna had always wanted to have a pet. 40. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The special ability that crows have. B. How Luna makes her videos popular. C. How Otto makes friends with a wild bird. D. The special bond between Otto and Russell. 41. What does the writer want to tell us through the text? A. Birds can be humans’ pets. B. A loving family is a present. C. We should learn from birds. D. Our care and love will pay off. 42. What is the theme (主题) of the text? A. Science and technology. B. Personal growth. C. Humans and nature. D. Human society. C Have you ever got the feeling that there aren’t enough hours in the day? Time is racing away from you, and it’s impossible to fit everything in. But then, you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower and more relaxing. Recent research showed nature could change our sense of time. According to the research, for many of us, the need of work and care for family means we’re always feeling like we don’t have enough time. The Internet makes our working hours longer and makes it difficult for us to stay long with friends and family. It suggests the way to solve this problem may lie in the natural world. Expert Richardo Correia read the research which compared people’s experiences of time when they carried out different tasks in urban (城市的) and natural environments. Finally, he found being in nature gives us the sense that we have enough time. At the same time, it not only changes our sense of time in the present, but also that of the past and the future. Spending time in nature can help to change our focus from the present to our future needs. 43. How may a worker feel in his office on work days? A. He may feel very relaxed. B. He may feel time passes fast. C. He may feel nothing to do. D. He may feel time runs slowly. 44. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The Internet. B. The work. C. The sense of time. D. The research. 45. What’s the main idea of the text? A Nature can change our sense of time. B. We can step into nature to relax ourselves. C. Different environments can cause different feelings. D. We should always stay in natural environment. D A nap (小睡) is an important part of the afternoon in many countries around the world. In China, people call it wushui. In Italian, it’s riposo. And the Spanish word for it is siesta. Could these naps be good for our brains? Three scientists worked on this study and Valentina Paz led the study. She wanted to know if daytime napping could be beneficial to brain health. “Keeping the brain healthy is important for well-being,” Paz explained. The scientists examined the brains of thousands of people. They studied their DNA too. And they found a connection between taking naps and having better brain health. People with bigger brains are usually healthier and have a lower risk of developing an illness. However, our brains get smaller as we get older. The study showed that people who took naps often had bigger brains! In an earlier study, scientists compared the maths test results of 3,000 people in China and they found that an hour-long nap after lunch helped the people score better. However, these studies don’t prove that napping causes bigger brains. After all, it is possible that people with bigger brains just like to nap more! Paz hopes her research can teach people about the value of sleep. “Sleep plays an important role in keeping the brain healthy. When we do not get enough sleep, we could develop health problems,” she said. 46. Why does the writer mention the ways to say the word “nap” in different languages? A. To show a nap is important in many countries. B. To show learning different languages is useful. C. To show he is good at speaking different languages. D. To show a nap improves people’s language learning ability. 47. What does the underlined word “beneficial” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A Harmful. B. Opposite. C. Similar. D. Helpful. 48. Which of the following does Paz agree with? A. Napping causes bigger brains. B. Napping helps keep brain healthy. C. Brains get bigger as people get older. D. People with bigger brains enjoy more naps. 49. What’s Paz’s hope? A. Her study can call attention to the living environment. B. Her study can encourage people to have enough sleep. C. Her study can help people solve different brain problems. D Her study can provide a new direction for future research. E Desert covers about 20 percent of the Earth’s land area. However, the number is becoming bigger because of human activities. And it’s caused environmental problems around the world in the past few years. Chinese scientists have tried to prevent land from being desert. And the situation in China has become better because of their hard work. However, many countries in Africa are facing the serious problem of desertification (沙漠化). Kano is a city in the north of Nigeria. It’s also on the southern side of the Sahara Desert—the world’s biggest desert. A Chinese science team has been working on a project with local villagers to help prevent their homeland from being desert. In 2023, they planted lots of small trees to do studies and tests. And the scientists have decided to make the area larger to build a green wall between Kano and the Sahara. Bala Muhammad is a local villager. He works as a gardener for the project. He gets water twice a day from a hole about one kilometer away to water the small trees. The village is at least 20 kilometers away from the Sahara Desert, but Muhammad still fears it will become part of the desert one day. “I hope the trees will grow big and tall in a few years so that they can help build a green home for us,” Muhammad said. 50. What can we infer from the first paragraph? A. The area of desert in the world is larger now. B. More than half of the Earth’s land is desert. C. The desert makes human lives face more difficulties. D. Human activities can stop environmental problems. 51. What does Bala Muhammad worry according to the text? A. He’ll lose his job one day. B. The small trees will be too tall. C.

A dragonfly (蜻蜓) flew over. Little Cat noticed it. He quickly put down his fishing rod (钓竿) and tried to catch the dragonfly. However, the dragonfly flew away. Little Cat had to go back and continue fishing. Just as Little Cat picked up his rod, Old Cat caught a big fish. Shortly after that, another dragonfly flew over. Little Cat again dropped his fishing rod and tried to catch it. Of course, he failed again. Feeling awful, Little Cat returned to the riverside, only to find that Old Cat had caught another big fish. “Why can’t I catch even a little fish?” Little Cat cried. Old Cat replied, “If you’re fishing, just fish. You can’t expect to catch fish while spending your time catching dragonflies.” After listening to Old Cat’s words, Little Cat began to fish carefully. The dragonflies flew over again, but Little Cat didn’t even raise his eyes. He held the fishing rod and waited patiently. Soon, Little Cat pulled the line back, showing off his first big fish of the day. Now, Little Cat realized that success requires patience and attention. 53.
