Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past. Eiffel Tower Presented as part of the 1889 World Exposition in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has become the city’s most famous attraction. It is accessible on Line 6 or Line 8 of the Paris Metro by Bir-Hakeim or Trocadéro stations. If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays. Notre-Dame Cathedral Dating back to the 12th century, the Notre-Dame Cathedral has long towered alongside the banks of the Seine River. With its complicated Gothic (哥特式的) architectural details, it represents Parisian religion and architecture. Unfortunately, a fire broke out on April 15, 2019, destroying part of it. Visitors are not allowed to enter now. Louvre Museum Louvre Museum is one of the most famous art museums in the world where you can witness the city’s rich painting history from the medieval (中世纪的) period to the present. It is easily accessible on Line 1 from the Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre station. It is closed on Tuesdays as well as January 1, May 1, and December 25 each year. Arc de Triomphe The Arc de Triomphe serves as a national symbol of France, which was built by Napoleon I in celebration of the victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. Take Line 1, 2, or 6 to Charles de Gaulle-Etoile station and you will see the Arc de Triomphe. Visitors can purchase tickets for a tour to the top to enjoy the views of the city. 1. Which is the best time to visit Eiffel Tower? A. At 2:00 p.m., Sunday. B. At 9:00 a.m., Monday. C. At 11:00 a.m., Tuesday. D. At 10:00 a.m., Saturday. 2. Where should visitors go if they are interested in art history? A. Eiffel Tower. B. Louvre Museum. C. Arc de Triomphe. D. Notre-Dame Cathedral. 3. What can be inferred from the listed attractions? A. They require tickets for a tour. B. They are easily accessible by subway. C. They allow visitors to enter on holidays. D. They are spots to show the history of Paris. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了巴黎四个不同时期和建筑风格迥异的历史遗迹。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays.(如果可能的话，避免在高峰时间(上午10点至下午5点)或周末参观这个地方，这样你就可以充分利用你的参观来欣赏顶部的景色。最好的时刻是在工作日刚开门的时候。)”可知，应避免在高峰期和周末参观Eiffel Tower，且最好的参观时间是在它刚开门的时候，因此“周一上午九点”是最好的游览时间。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Louvre Museum is one of the most famous art museums in the world where you can witness the city’s rich painting history from the medieval (中世纪的) period to the present. (卢浮宫博物馆是世界上最著名的艺术博物馆之一，在这里你可以见证这座城市从中世纪到现在丰富的绘画历史。)”可知，卢浮宫博物馆是了解从中世纪开始到现在的绘画历史的地方。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段末句“Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past. (这里有一些著名的景点，对于了解这座城市复杂的过去是必不可少的。)”可知，本文展示了关于巴黎历史的一些景点。故选D。 B I was born in 1990-the year of the white horse. A girl born under this zodiac(生肖) is believed to have a wild, steed-like(骏马般的)spirit that will block her fortunes, bringing her family trouble. These beliefs were planted in my mind as a girl growing up in South Korea. I was repeatedly told to fight against my steed-like spirit and instead try being still, gentle, and quiet. Actually, when I was young, I loved exploring the mountainous trails behind our house, examining the various soil layers in nearby fields, and generally running wild outdoors. I often returned home with soiled clothes. In high school, I settled on a quiet career choice: I would become a lawyer. However, when I was accepted into a pre-law program, I found the courses boring. That’s when a teacher said, “You could always get a science degree, and go back into law. ” I took her advice and landed in the United States to study geology(地质学). Shortly thereafter, though, culture shock set in. I was not ready for the intense physical requirements of my field courses. One 6-week summer course required strenuous(费劲的)hikes, camping in extreme heat, and heavy lifting. My cultural upbringing had discouraged such “wild” activities and I had never gone on extended hikes or camps before. But other women in my program were an inspiration. I saw beauty in their strength, and I wanted to be like them. By the end of my undergraduate degree, I had fully accepted my love of being a tough girl. And I’d given up on the idea of becoming a lawyer. My parents didn’t quite know what to make of my adventurous field life. But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction. I’m now a postdoc with years of experience collecting samples in challenging field environments, and I’m thankful I resisted the cultural expectations placed on me. My wild, steed-like spirit wasn’t something to suppress(压制). Instead, it led me to a career that’s a perfect fit for me. 4. What can we learn about the author in her childhood? A. She was a quiet and shy girl. B. She spent much time exploring the outdoors. C. She brought misfortunes to her family. D. She was encouraged to study hard. 5. What was the reason for the author studying geology? A. The bright employment opportunity. B. Her disappointment at the pre-law program courses. C. Her desire to act against her cultural expectations. D. The difficulty of getting a law degree. 6. What happened to the author when she started to learn geology? A. She was not used to doing strenuous activities. B. She was not interested in the field courses. C. She was strongly opposed by her family. D. She was looked down upon by other women. 7. Which of the following best describes the author’s parents? A. Careful. B. Demanding. C. Open-minded. D. Short-sighted. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者抵制了强加在她身上的文化期望，没有去压制被人们认为有碍她命运和家庭的狂野的、骏马般的灵魂，而是因这种灵魂，找到了最适合自己职业的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Actually, when I was young, I loved exploring the mountainous trails behind our house, examining the various soil layers in nearby fields, and generally running wild outdoors.”（事实上，当我还小的时候，我喜欢在房子后面的山路上探险，研究附近田地里不同的土壤层，通常在户外狂野地奔跑。）可知，作者小时候花很多时间在户外探险。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, when I was accepted into a pre-law program, I found the courses boring. That’s when a teacher said, “You could always get a science degree, and go back into law. ””（然而，当我被法律预科项目录取时，我发现课程很无聊。就在那时，一位老师说:“你总是可以拿到一个科学学位，然后回到法律行业。”）和第四段“I took her advice and landed in the United States to study geology(地质学).”（我听从了她的建议，来到美国学习地质学。）可知，作者因为感到法律预科课程很无聊，对它很失望，所以才听从老师的建议，来到美国学习地质学。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One 6-week summer course required strenuous(费劲的)hikes, camping in extreme heat, and heavy lifting. My cultural upbringing had discouraged such “wild” activities and I had never gone on extended hikes or camps before.”（一个为期六周的暑期课程需要艰苦的徒步旅行，在极热的环境中露营，以及搬运重物。我的文化背景不鼓励这种“狂野”的活动，我以前也从未进行过长距离的徒步旅行或露营。）可知，作者刚开始学习地质学时，并不适应这些艰苦的、高强度的活动。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“My parents didn’t quite know what to make of my adventurous field life. But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction.”（我的父母不知道该如何看待我冒险的野外生活，但当我告诉他们我职业方向的改变时，他们很支持我。）可知，作者的父母思想开明，支持孩子的决定。故选C。 C What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists. It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking. According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking. 8. What do people usually think of British food? A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition. C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation. 9. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV? A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential. 10. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now? A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%. 11. What might the author continue talking about? A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes. C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本篇是一篇说明文，介绍英国人在英国烹饪节目的影响下改变对烹饪的看法，并尝试新的烹饪习惯。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting?”（当你想到英国食物时，你会想到什么？你可能想到的是炸鱼薯条，或是一肉两菜的周日晚餐。但是，英国食物真的如此无趣吗？）可知，提及英国食物，大家往往只是想到炸鱼薯条和周日烤肉，所以人们通常会觉得英国食物平平无奇。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits.”（正是由于电视上的这些大厨，而不是凭借广告宣传活动，英国人正在远离“一肉两菜”和速食餐，而变得更加愿意探索新的烹饪习惯。）和“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”（似乎电视节目帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法。）可知，英国的烹饪节目能够改变英国人对烹饪的看法，尝试从传统的英式饮食走出来，尝试新的烹饪习惯，由此推知英国的烹饪节目具有很大的影响力。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before.”（几乎三分之一的人表示他们现在使用的配料比以前更多，将近四分之一的人表示他们现在购买的配料质量比以前更好。）可知，三分之一左右的人，也就是33%左右的人，使用的配料比以前更多。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.”（随着电视上出现越来越多男性厨师，男孩子喜欢烹饪不再是一件“不酷”的事了。）可知，接下来，文章应该具体介绍电视上的男性厨师，从而与上文形成语义连贯。故选B项。 【点睛】 D Next time your pet dog start to pant (喘息) and pace (踱步) during a thunderstorm or when you have to leave for a day, you know separation anxiety is about to happen, and you should consider playing some music, but not just any music. According to a new study published in the journal of Physiology & Behavior, dogs prefer the sounds of reggae (雷盖音乐) or soft rock to any other type. For the study, conducted by the Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA), researchers played five different types of music for shelter dogs. During the study, classical music, soft rock, reggae, pop music and Motown were played. While the dogs were listening, researchers took note of their heart rates, cortisol (皮质醇) levels and behavior. It turns out that dogs are fans of Bob Marley, just like we do on our beach vacations, as results showed that dogs were less stressed while listening to soft rock or reggae. When they were listening to Motown, their stress levels were higher. Based on the results of the study, researchers believe that dog owners can play reggae or soft rock music for their dogs during high stress situations. For dogs entering a shelter for the first time, the new surroundings will make them horrified causing them to bark or shake, and dogs living at home can be fearful of loud noises when their owners leave. This study discovered shelter dogs listening to classical music were more relaxed, barking less and lying down more. Unfortunately, the study also found that by the seventh day of listening to classical music, the dogs returned to restlessness (躁动). This led the researchers to believe that “the animals were getting used to the music, or possibly getting bored. ” Those previous results are what led the researchers to try various types for the new study. 12. What did the researchers do in the study? A. They measured dogs’ hearing. B. They studied dogs’ separation anxiety. C. They researched into dogs’ living habits. D. They recorded dogs’ physical responses to music. 13. When listening to soft rock, the dogs _________. A. got bored easily B. tended to be calmer C. usually ate more food D. suffered a high stress level 14. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Dogs’ favorite is classical music. B. Shelter dogs get annoyed more easily. C. Music may affect dogs’ mood for limited time. D. Researchers are satisfied with the previous results. 15 What’s the text mainly about? A. How dog lovers comfort their dogs. B. Advice about staying with a pet dog. C. Why dogs should be free of anxiety. D. A study on music’s influence on dogs. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项研究表明，雷鬼、软摇滚等音乐能缓解狗的压力，且音乐对狗情绪的影响存在时效性 。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For the study, conducted by the Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA), researchers played five different types of music for shelter dogs. During the study, classical music, soft rock, reggae, pop music and Motown were played. While the dogs were listening, researchers took note of their heart rates, cortisol (皮质醇) levels and behavior.(这项研究由苏格兰防止虐待动物协会（SSPCA）进行，研究人员为收容所的狗播放了五种不同类型的音乐。在研究过程中，播放了古典音乐、软摇滚、雷鬼音乐、流行音乐和摩城音乐。当狗在听音乐时，研究人员记录了它们的心率、皮质醇水平和行为。)”可知，研究人员在研究中记录了狗对音乐的身体反应。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It turns out that dogs are fans of Bob Marley, just like we do on our beach vacations, as results showed that dogs were less stressed while listening to soft rock or reggae.(结果表明，狗是鲍勃・马利的粉丝，就像我们在海滩度假时一样，因为结果显示，狗在听软摇滚或雷鬼音乐时压力较小。)”可知，当狗听软摇滚时，压力较小，因此往往会更平静。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This study discovered shelter dogs listening to classical music were more relaxed, barking less and lying down more. Unfortunately, the study also found that by the seventh day of listening to classical music, the dogs returned to restlessness (躁动). This led the researchers to believe that ‘the animals were getting used to the music, or possibly getting bored. ’(这项研究发现，听古典音乐的收容所的狗更放松，吠叫更少，躺下的时间更多。不幸的是，研究还发现，到听古典音乐的第七天，狗又恢复了躁动。这让研究人员认为‘这些动物正在习惯这种音乐，或者可能感到无聊了。’)”可知，音乐对狗情绪的影响是有限的时间，因为听了一段时间后狗又恢复了躁动。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to a new study published in the journal of Physiology & Behavior, dogs prefer the sounds of reggae (雷盖音乐) or soft rock to any other type.(根据发表在《生理学与行为》杂志上的一项新研究，狗比起其他任何类型的音乐，更喜欢雷鬼音乐或软摇滚的声音。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了一项关于音乐对狗的影响的研究。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。 Studies show if you have good friends throughout your life, you will live longer.

Sometimes it’d crack (嗓音变粗). The first time it happened, I was embarrassed. I thought people around me might make fun of me since they didn’t have the same problem of uncontrolled voices. After my first voice crack experience, trying to prevent it from happening again, I almost stopped talking. If I had to talk, I’d first clear my throat. Limiting my talking and clearing my voice before I spoke made my break and lunch experiences less stressful. Even when my voice did crack, only my closest friends would hear. My biggest fear was having a voice crack during class. Unfortunately, one day the worst thing I had feared came. It was about halfway through the year when I was happy to have made it so long without a bad voice crack incident. On the day it happened, everything was the same as always until I got into the classroom.When I walked through the door, the first thing I noticed was that we had a new teacher. For some classmates, seeing a new teacher was a great thing, but for me, it was a problem. Immediately started thinking about how the new teacher would need to take attendance. My previous teacher never had to. Since he already knew each student and where they sat, he just had everyone sit down in their seat, and marked the students whose seats were empty absent. I started to panic. So many thoughts were running through my mind that I could not think straight. I calmed myself down by telling myself that I only had to say one word:“here”. Wasn’t it easy enough? Well, I thought so too until my name was called. I did my normal routine; I cleared my throat, took a breath, and said, “Here!” The only problem was that while saying this, I had the worst voice crack in the history of my voice cracks. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Before I knew it, the whole class turned to look at me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A break finally came, and I walked out of the classroom in a bad mood. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Before I knew it, the whole class turned to look at me. My face turned as red as a tomato. I felt extremely ashamed and wished I could just disappear from the classroom. Some classmates started to giggle, and I could hear whispers around me. The new teacher looked a bit surprised but quickly regained her composure. She calmly said, “It’s okay. Everyone goes through this during puberty.” Her words made me feel a little better, but I still couldn't shake off the embarrassment. I sat there, keeping my head down, and didn’t dare to look up for the rest of the class. A break finally came, and I walked out of the classroom in a bad mood. I was still thinking about the embarrassing moment just now. Suddenly, I heard someone calling my name. It was the new teacher. She walked towards me with a kind smile on her face. “Don’t be too hard on yourself,” she said. “Voice cracks are just a normal part of growing up. Everyone will experience it. You don’t need to be so worried.” Her words were like a warm breeze, soothing my wounded pride. I felt grateful to her. From then on, I gradually became more confident and didn’t fear the voice crack as much. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者青春期变声为线索，讲述了作者因害怕变声时嗓音变粗被嘲笑而尽量少说话，却在新老师点名时出现了最糟糕的嗓音变粗情况的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“不知不觉，全班都转过头来看我。”可知，第一段可描写作者在全班注视下的尴尬感受，同学们的反应，以及老师的安抚，突出作者当时的窘迫与内心变化。 ②由第二段首句“终于到了课间休息，我心情糟糕地走出了教室。”可知，第二段可描写老师课间找作者谈话，给予鼓励和安慰，让作者逐渐放下心理负担，变得更自信。 2. 续写线索：全班注视作者——作者感觉极度窘迫——老师课上安抚——课间老师找作者谈话——作者变得自信 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①变红：turn red/blush ②恢复镇定：regain one’s composure/calm down ③摆脱：shake off/break away from ④走向：walk towards/move towards 情感类： ①羞愧：ashamed/embarrassed ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型 1].

B I was born in 1990-the year of the white horse. A girl born under this zodiac(生肖) is believed to have a wild, steed-like(骏马般的)spirit that will block her fortunes, bringing her family trouble. These beliefs were planted in my mind as a girl growing up in South Korea. I was repeatedly told to fight against my steed-like spirit and instead try being still, gentle, and quiet. Actually, when I was young, I loved exploring the mountainous trails behind our house, examining the various soil layers in nearby fields, and generally running wild outdoors. I often returned home with soiled clothes. In high school, I settled on a quiet career choice: I would become a lawyer. However, when I was accepted into a pre-law program, I found the courses boring. That’s when a teacher said, “You could always get a science degree, and go back into law. ” I took her advice and landed in the United States to study geology(地质学). Shortly thereafter, though, culture shock set in. I was not ready for the intense physical requirements of my field courses. One 6-week summer course required strenuous(费劲的)hikes, camping in extreme heat, and heavy lifting. My cultural upbringing had discouraged such “wild” activities and I had never gone on extended hikes or camps before. But other women in my program were an inspiration. I saw beauty in their strength, and I wanted to be like them. By the end of my undergraduate degree, I had fully accepted my love of being a tough girl. And I’d given up on the idea of becoming a lawyer. My parents didn’t quite know what to make of my adventurous field life. But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction. I’m now a postdoc with years of experience collecting samples in challenging field environments, and I’m thankful I resisted the cultural expectations placed on me. My wild, steed-like spirit wasn’t something to suppress(压制). Instead, it led me to a career that’s a perfect fit for me. 4. What can we learn about the author in her childhood? A. She was a quiet and shy girl. B She spent much time exploring the outdoors. C. She brought misfortunes to her family. D. She was encouraged to study hard. 5. What was the reason for the author studying geology? A. The bright employment opportunity. B. Her disappointment at the pre-law program courses. C. Her desire to act against her cultural expectations. D. The difficulty of getting a law degree. 6. What happened to the author when she started to learn geology? A. She was not used to doing strenuous activities. B. She was not interested in the field courses. C. She was strongly opposed by her family. D. She was looked down upon by other women. 7. Which of the following best describes the author’s parents? A. Careful. B. Demanding. C. Open-minded. D. Short-sighted. C What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists. It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking. According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking. 8. What do people usually think of British food? A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition. C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation. 9. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV? A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential. 10. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now? A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%. 11. What might the author continue talking about? A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes. C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters. D Next time your pet dog start to pant (喘息) and pace (踱步) during a thunderstorm or when you have to leave for a day, you know separation anxiety is about to happen, and you should consider playing some music, but not just any music. According to a new study published in the journal of Physiology & Behavior, dogs prefer the sounds of reggae (雷盖音乐) or soft rock to any other type. For the study, conducted by the Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA), researchers played five different types of music for shelter dogs. During the study, classical music, soft rock, reggae, pop music and Motown were played. While the dogs were listening, researchers took note of their heart rates, cortisol (皮质醇) levels and behavior. It turns out that dogs are fans of Bob Marley, just like we do on our beach vacations, as results showed that dogs were less stressed while listening to soft rock or reggae. When they were listening to Motown, their stress levels were higher. Based on the results of the study, researchers believe that dog owners can play reggae or soft rock music for their dogs during high stress situations. For dogs entering a shelter for the first time, the new surroundings will make them horrified causing them to bark or shake, and dogs living at home can be fearful of loud noises when their owners leave. This study discovered shelter dogs listening to classical music were more relaxed, barking less and lying down more. Unfortunately, the study also found that by the seventh day of listening to classical music, the dogs returned to restlessness (躁动). This led the researchers to believe that “the animals were getting used to the music, or possibly getting bored. ” Those previous results are what led the researchers to try various types for the new study. 12. What did the researchers do in the study? A. They measured dogs’ hearing. B. They studied dogs’ separation anxiety. C. They researched into dogs’ living habits. D. They recorded dogs’ physical responses to music. 13. When listening to soft rock, the dogs _________. A. got bored easily B. tended to be calmer C. usually ate more food D. suffered a high stress level 14. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Dogs’ favorite is classical music. B. Shelter dogs get annoyed more easily. C. Music may affect dogs’ mood for limited time. D. Researchers are satisfied with the previous results. 15. What’s the text mainly about? A. How dog lovers comfort their dogs. B. Advice about staying with a pet dog. C. Why dogs should be free of anxiety. D. A study on music’s influence on dogs. 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。 Studies show if you have good friends throughout your life, you will live longer.

The first time it happened, I was embarrassed. I thought people around me might make fun of me since they didn’t have the same problem of uncontrolled voices. After my first voice crack experience, trying to prevent it from happening again, I almost stopped talking. If I had to talk, I’d first clear my throat. Limiting my talking and clearing my voice before I spoke made my break and lunch experiences less stressful. Even when my voice did crack, only my closest friends would hear. My biggest fear was having a voice crack during class. Unfortunately, one day the worst thing I had feared came. It was about halfway through the year when I was happy to have made it so long without a bad voice crack incident. On the day it happened, everything was the same as always until I got into the classroom.When I walked through the door, the first thing I noticed was that we had a new teacher. For some classmates, seeing a new teacher was a great thing, but for me, it was a problem. Immediately started thinking about how the new teacher would need to take attendance. My previous teacher never had to. Since he already knew each student and where they sat, he just had everyone sit down in their seat, and marked the students whose seats were empty absent. I started to panic. So many thoughts were running through my mind that I could not think straight. I calmed myself down by telling myself that I only had to say one word:“here”. Wasn’t it easy enough? Well, I thought so too until my name was called. I did my normal routine; I cleared my throat, took a breath, and said, “Here!” The only problem was that while saying this, I had the worst voice crack in the history of my voice cracks. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Before I knew it, the whole class turned to look at me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A break finally came, and I walked out of the classroom in a bad mood. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
