Barton is a rock star to hundreds of hungry wild monkeys that he hopes his music can calm, at a time when Thailand’ s coronavirus-induced tourism gap means fewer visitors to feed them, and less funds for their welfare. “We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly. And when they eat properly they will be calmer and will not be aggressive,” said Barton, 59, a long-time Thailand resident. Barton has played at four venues in Lopburi, a province famous for its attacking monkeys, including at an ancient Hindu temple, a hardware store and a deserted cinema. The monkeys are instantly drawn as he plays Greensleeves, Beethoven’s Fur Elise and Michael Nyman’s Diary of Love, some sharing his stool, others climbing onto his shoulders and touching his head. Barton maintains focus as a small monkey runs up and down the piano keys as others chew at his sheet music before one tries to take it away. “A wonderful opportunity to see the wild animals just being themselves,” said Barton, from Yorkshire in northern England. “I was surprised to play the piano and find that they were actually eating the music as I was playing it. I wasn’t going to let those things distract (使分心) from the project which is to play the music for these wonderful monkeys.” They are his latest audience, having played Bach, Schubert, Chopin, and Beethoven for more than a decade to elephants at retirement shelters. Barton hopes to raise awareness of the monkeys’ hunger while also studying their behavioral responses to classical music. 4. What does the underlined phrase “unruly audiences” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Gentle visitors. B. Rude residents. C. Hungry elephants. D. Misbehaving monkeys. 5. What does Paul Barton hope to achieve through his performances? A. To make the monkeys happy and satisfied. B. To study the monkeys’ improper behavior. C. To ensure that the monkeys have enough food. D. To promote his own music career. 6. How does Barton act when monkeys interrupt his show? A. He stops playing to shout at them. B. He remains focused on his music. C. He offers food to distract them. D. He requests assistance from others. 7. What kind of person is Barton according to the passage? A. Kind-hearted and devoted. B. Responsible and caring. C. Warm-hearted and serious. D. Creative and strict. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是英国钢琴家保罗·巴顿在泰国旅游时为数百只饥饿的猴子演奏音乐，希望这一举措来提高人们对猴子饥饿的意识，从而让它们过得更好的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词之后“that pull his hair, steal his music and climb over his piano, while enjoying bananas.(拉他的头发，偷他的乐谱，爬过他的钢琴，一边享用香蕉。)”以及第二段“Barton is a rock star to hundreds of hungry wild monkeys that he hopes his music can calm, at a time when Thailand’ s coronavirus-induced tourism gap means fewer visitors to feed them, and less funds for their welfare.(巴顿是数百只饥饿野生猴子的摇滚明星，他希望自己的音乐能让这些猴子平静下来，目前泰国因冠状病毒引发的旅游缺口意味着喂养它们的游客减少，用于它们福利的资金也减少。)”可知，在泰国中部的巡演中包围英国音乐家保罗·巴顿的是一群调皮的猴子，所以此处划线词unruly audiences指的是一群调皮的猴子，故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly. And when they eat properly they will be calmer and will not be aggressive,” said Barton, 59, a long-time Thailand resident.(我们需要努力确保他们合理饮食。59岁的巴顿长期居住在泰国，他说：“如果它们吃得好，就会更平静，不会有攻击性。”)可知，保罗·巴顿希望通过他的表演来实现猴子有足够食物的目标，故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Barton maintains focus as a small monkey runs up and down the piano keys as others chew at his sheet music before one tries to take it away.(当一只小猴子在钢琴键上跑来跑去的时候，巴顿保持着专注，而其他猴子在啃咬着他的乐谱，其中一只还想把乐谱拿走。)”以及文章倒数第二段“I wasn’t going to let those things distract(使分心)from the project which is to play the music for these wonderful monkeys.”(我不想让这些事情分散我为这些可爱的猴子演奏音乐的注意力。)”可知，当猴子打断他的表演时，巴顿仍然专注于他的音乐，故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“They are his latest audience, having played Bach, Schubert, Chopin, and Beethoven for more than a decade to elephants at retirement shelters.(他们是他最新的听众，十多年来，他一直在退休收容所为大象演奏巴赫、舒伯特、肖邦和贝多芬的作品。)”以及最后一段“Barton hopes to raise awareness of the monkeys’ hunger while also studying their behavioral responses to classical music.(巴顿希望在研究猴子对古典音乐的行为反应的同时，提高人们对猴子饥饿的意识。)”以及文章主要内容可知，英国音乐家保罗·巴顿希望通过音乐能提高人们对猴子饥饿的意识，从而让它们吃得更好，说明他是一个善良的人，同时巴顿数十年以来一直在为大象演奏贝多芬、巴赫等的古典作品，说明他有献身精神，故选A项。 C Where do the turtles go? Every summer, thousands of endangered green sea turtles climb onto beaches around the world. Each mother sea turtle produces 100 or more eggs in a hole, and covers the hole with sand before she swims away. Two months later, the eggs hatch(孵化), and the baby turtles climb out of the sand and swim into the ocean. They don’t reappear until they have grown as large as dinner plates. Until now, no one knows where the baby turtles go or what they do. “if we don’t know where these little turtles are, we can’t protect them,” says Kim Reich, who helps solve part of the mystery. Her teacher, Karen Bjorndal, has studied green sea turtles for more than 30 years. Every year, Bjorndal goes to the Bahamas Islands. Many young sea turtles come here to live and eat at the end of their childhood. These turtles are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters. In fact, their name may be a result of what they eat. The turtles don’t look green but they do have green fat. Scientists learned that the turtles eat green sea plants, which may turn their fat green. Between 2002 and 2004, Bjorndal caught 44 green sea turtles in the Bahamas. After testing them, she found something to support the 20-year-old idea: baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants. In fact, they eat animals that live in the open ocean. Scientists still need to find where exactly green sea turtles grow. We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean, but the open ocean is a big place. “It is really a problem,” says Bjorndal. The discovery may help us do a better job of protecting this sea animal. 8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. baby turtles go to the ocean when they are two months old. B. Mother turtles leave the eggs alone after they produce them. C. No one knows when turtles appear on the beach. D. Mother turtles are as large as dinner plates. 9. Kim Reich does research on where baby turtles go because she wants to _________. A. help her teacher B. prove an idea C. protect turtles D. become a scientist 10. What does Karen Bjorndal’s research prove about green sea turtles? A. the young live in the Bahamas Islands. B. The young eat meat before turning to a diet of plants C. They live in the open ocean for a lifelong time D. They are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters. 11. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Finding out where young turtles grow. B. Protecting this endangered sea animal. C. Changing young turtles’ eating habits. D. Living in the open ocean. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，每年夏天成千上万的濒临灭绝的绿海龟爬上沙滩，科学家在寻找它们到底去了哪里，以便可以保护它们。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“Each mother sea turtle produces 100 or more eggs in a hole, and covers the hole with sand before she swims away.每只海龟妈妈在一个洞里产100个或更多的卵，在她游走之前用沙子把洞盖住。”可知，龟妈妈产蛋之后会离开蛋。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“The discovery may help us do a better job of protecting this sea animal.这一发现可能有助于我们更好地保护这种海洋动物” 可以知道，这种发现可以更好地保护这种动物。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段第二句话“After testing them, she found something to support the 20-year-old idea: baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants. 测试之后，她发现一些支持20年前的一个观点：幼儿绿色龟在吃植物之前是吃肉的。”故选B。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据It前的一段意思“Scientists still need to find where exactly green sea turtles grow. We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean, but the open ocean is a big place. 科学家们仍然需要找到绿海龟成长的地方。我们现在知道，婴儿绿海龟是大海里，但大海是一个很大的地方。” 这两句话“We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean, but the open ocean is a big place.”是对前面的补充，也就是 It指代的是find where exactly green sea turtles grow。故选A。 D In the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them. Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him as similar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to scare off would-be predators. To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer analysis revealed that bees’ and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar. Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes and, after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats. During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter, they videoed the owls. After analysis, the results were unequivocal. When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer. Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator. They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized. 12. What was Dr. Russo’s assumption of the study? A. Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies. B. The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees. C. Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom. D. Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry. 13. How did Dr. Russo test his idea? A. By consulting experts in this field. B. By referring to other scholars’ analysis. C. By collecting computer data. D. By conducting series of scientific experiments. 14. What does the underlined word “unequivocal” in paragraph 5 possibly mean? A. Disappointing. B. Controversial. C. Definite. D. Uncertain. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A New Trick to Scare Away Owls B. Animal Mimicry: Buzz off C. A Self-protection Behavior among Animals D. Bats: No More Victim to Owls 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究，研究发现一些动物会模仿其他动物的声音，吓跑潜在的敌人。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him as similar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to scare off would-be predators.(Russo 博士几年前第一次注意到蝙蝠的嗡嗡声。他听到的声音好像是蜜蜂的叫声。他想知道蝙蝠的嗡嗡声是否是一种模仿形式，有助于吓跑潜在的捕食者)”可知，Russo博士对这项研究的假设是蝙蝠模仿愤怒的蜜蜂的声音来吓跑敌人。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer analysis revealed that bees’ and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar.(为了验证这个想法，他和他的同事们首先记录了捕捉到的蝙蝠发出的嗡嗡声。然后，穿上防护服，他们开始了更危险的任务——记录不同蜜蜂发出的嗡嗡声。计算机分析显示，蜜蜂和蝙蝠的嗡嗡声确实相似)”以及第四段和第五段内容可知，Russo是通过进行一系列的科学实验验证他的想法的。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句后文“When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.(当他们同时听到蝙蝠和蜜蜂的嗡嗡声时，猫头鹰们尽可能地远离扬声器。相比之下，当播放没有嗡嗡声的蝙蝠声时，它们会慢慢靠近)”等内容可知，实验的结果肯定了Russo的假设。从而推知划线词所在句“After analysis, the results were unequivocal. (经过分析，结果是unequivocal)”其中划线词unequivocal意思是“肯定的”。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中“Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them. (他认为，有些蝙蝠会模仿愤怒的蜜蜂，以吓跑可能会吃掉它们的猫头鹰)”以及最后一段中“And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized. (根据实验结果，他因此预测听觉模仿比目前认识到的要广泛得多)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项研究，研究发现一些动物会模仿其他动物的声音，吓跑潜在的敌人。B项“动物模仿：（敌人）滚开”符合文章主题，故选B。 第二节 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。（每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） Most self-motivation definitions consider how you can find the ability to do what needs to be done without influence from other people or situations. Self-motivation is encouraging yourself to continue making progress toward a goal even when it feels challenging. It’s turning your shoulds into musts. How can you motivate (激励) yourself to achieve your goals? ____16____ Take responsibility for your life. Self-motivation is often difficult because it comes from you. If you don’t take care of the underlying issues that keep you from making progress, you can fall back on blaming (归咎于) others for your failure. In some cases, you can rely on external factors and friends for motivation. ____17____ In other words, you’re the one who must take charge of your own life. ____18____ You need a powerful purpose to motivate you. Why do you want to build a business? It likely goes back to the ability to do what you want, when you want and with whom you want - the true definition of success. Connect your goals back to your purpose and you’ll never lack self-motivation. Reevaluate your goals. At any moment, the decision you make can change the course of your life forever. If you focus on your vision and purpose, but you’re still not feeling inspired, you may need to make a decision to go in a new direction. ____19____ Create powerful beliefs. ____20____ If you don’t have enough self-motivation, it comes down to one reason: you don’t see yourself as a self-motivated person. Change your negative beliefs into positive ones by conditioning your mind. Catch yourself when you think negatively about yourself and change that self-talk so that it motivates you instead of holding you back. A. Find your why. B. Create a great action plan. C. Here are some tips that might help you. D. You need to have a clear purpose to get enough self-motivation. E. The only limitations in our lives are the ones we put on ourselves. F. But at the end of the day, you’re the one who has to put in the work. G. That is to say, if your why isn’t motivating you, then you may need a new why. 【答案】16 C 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了自我激励的含义，以及自我激励的一些方法。 【16题详解】 上文“How can you motivate (激励) yourself to achieve your goals?(你如何激励自己实现目标？)”说明用作者提出如何激励自己实现目标问题，选项C“这里有一些建议可能会对你有所帮助。”承接上文，针对上文问题，提出一些建议，同时引出下文的具体做法。故选C项。 【17题详解】 上文“In some cases, you can rely on external factors and friends for motivation.(在某些情况下，你可以依靠外部因素和朋友来获得动力。)”说明有时可以依靠外部力量和朋友来激励自己，选项F“但最终，你是那个必须投入工作的人。”承接上文，与上文构成转折关系，可以依靠外部力量，但必须自己投入，同时引出下文“In other words, you’re the one who must take charge of your own life.(换句话说，你必须为自己的人生负责。)”要为自己的人生负责。故选F项。 【18题详解】 下文“You need a powerful purpose to motivate you. Why do you want to build a business? It likely goes back to the ability to do what you want, when you want and with whom you want - the true definition of success. Connect your goals back to your purpose and you’ll never lack self-motivation.(你需要一个强大的目标来激励你。你为什么想创业？这可能要追溯到你想做什么、什么时候做、和谁一起做的能力——这是成功的真正定义。将你的目标与你的目的联系起来，你就永远不会缺乏自我激励。)”说明本段主要讲述了目标能给人带来激励作用，建议找到自己的人生目标，选项A“找到你的为什么”可以概括本段主旨大意，与下文“powerful purpose”相呼应。故选A项。 【19题详解】 上文“If you focus on your vision and purpose, but you’re still not feeling inspired, you may need to make a decision to go in a new direction.(如果你专注于你的愿景和目标，但你仍然没有受到激励，你可能需要决定朝着新的方向前进。)”说明若原有动机不足需调整方向，选项G“也就是说，如果你的为什么没有激励你，那么你可能需要一个新的为什么。”承接上文，如果原有动机无效，需要有新动机，点明“新方向”的本质是更新动机。故选G项。 【20题详解】 下文“If you don’t have enough self-motivation, it comes down to one reason: you don’t see yourself as a self-motivated person. Change your negative beliefs into positive ones by conditioning your mind. Catch yourself when you think negatively about yourself and change that self-talk so that it motivates you instead of holding you back.(如果你没有足够自我激励，这归结为一个原因：你不认为自己是一个自我激励的人。通过调节你的思想，把消极的信念变成积极的信念。当你消极地看待自己时，抓住自己，改变自我对话，这样它就会激励你，而不是阻碍你。)”说明如果自己没有足够的自我激励，要改变信念，选项E“我们生活中唯一的限制就是我们给自己设置的限制。”引出下文，点出消极信念的根源，与后文“转换思维”形成呼应。故选E项。 第三部分 语言知识运用 （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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I worked in a restaurant in Detroit.

He was obviously in bad manners with some dealers with whom he had been talking. He held in his hand an open wallet, full of bills. Hardly noticing the child as she made her request, except to swear (骂咧咧) at her for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a bank note. Glad to escape so easily, Susan rushed out of the gate, and when she stopped to see the money safely in the folds of her worn scarf, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked around. Nobody was near to share her discovery, and her first feeling was joy at the unexpected prize. “It is mine, all mine,” she thought. “I will buy mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if it will buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom, too.” At that moment she realized that the hotel keeper must have given it to her by mistake, and therefore she had no right to have it, as she was always told by her mother the Golden Rule. What belongs to you is yours, and what doesn’t belong to you should not be accepted. But again the voice of owning it by herself whispered, “He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it? Keep it; he will never know it, even if it should be a mistake; he had too many such bills in that great wallet, so it doesn’t matter if missing one.” While this conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil, she was hurrying homeward as fast as possible. 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。 Yet, before she came in sight of her home, she stopped. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The hotel keeper looked at Susan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Yet, before she came in sight of her home, she stopped. As she crossed the little bridge over the narrow stream, her eyes fell upon a bench where her mother and she occupied and had lengthy conversations. The Golden Rule her mother shared then popped into her mind. Ultimately, it was good that defeated evil in this conflict. Turning suddenly around, she hastened along the road with breathless speed until she found herself once more at the hotel’s gate. Glimpsing Susan again at his side, the hotelkeeper asked impatiently. “What do you want this time?” “Sir, um… you paid me two bills, instead of one,” Susan murmured, trembling in every limb. The hotelkeeper looked at Susan. His eyebrows rose in absolute astonishment. A few seconds later, realizing what had happened. He stretched out his hand and tapped Susan on the shoulder gently, his face splitting into a wide smile, “Keep it! The other bill is for you as the present of your honesty.” “No, sir, thank you,” Susan blurted out. “I do not want to be paid for doing right.” Desperate to tell her mother what she had done, Susan waved goodbye to the hotelkeeper and returned to her humble home with a lightened heart. Never would she forget this day through the course of her whole life. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Susan去旅馆帮妈妈取回工资，但是老板多给了一张钞票。她在纠结要不要还回去的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，在她看到她家之前，她停下来了。”可知，第一段可描写Susan经过思考之后，决定将多给的支票送回去。 ②由第二段首句内容“旅馆老板看着Susan。”可知，第二段可描写作旅馆老板很惊讶Susan将钱还回来，并想把多给的支票给她作为对她诚实的肯定。 2.续写线索：回家前停了下来——想起了妈妈的教导——决定把支票还回去——老板赞赏她——迫不及待回家告诉妈妈 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①涌入脑海：pop into one’s mind/crowed into one’s mind ②加速：hasten/hurry up/rush ③伸手：stretch out one’s hand /reach out one’s hand 情绪类 ①没耐心地：impatiently/without patience ②惊讶地：in astonishment/in amazement/in surprise 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B While on tour in central Thailand, British musician Paul Barton has been surrounded by unruly audiences that pull his hair, steal his music and climb over his piano, while enjoying bananas. Barton is a rock star to hundreds of hungry wild monkeys that he hopes his music can calm, at a time when Thailand’ s coronavirus-induced tourism gap means fewer visitors to feed them, and less funds for their welfare. “We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly. And when they eat properly they will be calmer and will not be aggressive,” said Barton, 59, a long-time Thailand resident. Barton has played at four venues in Lopburi, a province famous for its attacking monkeys, including at an ancient Hindu temple, a hardware store and a deserted cinema. The monkeys are instantly drawn as he plays Greensleeves, Beethoven’s Fur Elise and Michael Nyman’s Diary of Love, some sharing his stool, others climbing onto his shoulders and touching his head. Barton maintains focus as a small monkey runs up and down the piano keys as others chew at his sheet music before one tries to take it away. “A wonderful opportunity to see the wild animals just being themselves,” said Barton, from Yorkshire in northern England. “I was surprised to play the piano and find that they were actually eating the music as I was playing it. I wasn’t going to let those things distract (使分心) from the project which is to play the music for these wonderful monkeys.” They are his latest audience, having played Bach, Schubert, Chopin, and Beethoven for more than a decade to elephants at retirement shelters. Barton hopes to raise awareness of the monkeys’ hunger while also studying their behavioral responses to classical music. 4. What does the underlined phrase “unruly audiences” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Gentle visitors. B. Rude residents. C. Hungry elephants. D. Misbehaving monkeys. 5. What does Paul Barton hope to achieve through his performances? A. To make the monkeys happy and satisfied. B. To study the monkeys’ improper behavior. C. To ensure that the monkeys have enough food. D. To promote his own music career. 6 How does Barton act when monkeys interrupt his show? A. He stops playing to shout at them. B. He remains focused on his music. C. He offers food to distract them. D. He requests assistance from others. 7. What kind of person is Barton according to the passage? A. Kind-hearted and devoted. B. Responsible and caring. C. Warm-hearted and serious. D. Creative and strict. C Where do the turtles go? Every summer, thousands of endangered green sea turtles climb onto beaches around the world. Each mother sea turtle produces 100 or more eggs in a hole, and covers the hole with sand before she swims away. Two months later, the eggs hatch(孵化), and the baby turtles climb out of the sand and swim into the ocean. They don’t reappear until they have grown as large as dinner plates. Until now, no one knows where the baby turtles go or what they do. “if we don’t know where these little turtles are, we can’t protect them,” says Kim Reich, who helps solve part of the mystery. Her teacher, Karen Bjorndal, has studied green sea turtles for more than 30 years. Every year, Bjorndal goes to the Bahamas Islands. Many young sea turtles come here to live and eat at the end of their childhood. These turtles are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters. In fact, their name may be a result of what they eat. The turtles don’t look green but they do have green fat. Scientists learned that the turtles eat green sea plants, which may turn their fat green. Between 2002 and 2004, Bjorndal caught 44 green sea turtles in the Bahamas. After testing them, she found something to support the 20-year-old idea: baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants. In fact, they eat animals that live in the open ocean. Scientists still need to find where exactly green sea turtles grow. We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean, but the open ocean is a big place. “It is really a problem,” says Bjorndal. The discovery may help us do a better job of protecting this sea animal. 8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. baby turtles go to the ocean when they are two months old. B. Mother turtles leave the eggs alone after they produce them. C. No one knows when turtles appear on the beach. D. Mother turtles are as large as dinner plates. 9. Kim Reich does research on where baby turtles go because she wants to _________. A. help her teacher B. prove an idea C protect turtles D. become a scientist 10. What does Karen Bjorndal’s research prove about green sea turtles? A. the young live in the Bahamas Islands. B. The young eat meat before turning to a diet of plants C. They live in the open ocean for a lifelong time D. They are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters. 11. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Finding out where young turtles grow. B. Protecting this endangered sea animal. C. Changing young turtles’ eating habits. D. Living in the open ocean. D In the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them. Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him as similar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to scare off would-be predators. To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer analysis revealed that bees’ and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar. Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes and, after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats. During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter, they videoed the owls. After analysis, the results were unequivocal. When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer. Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator. They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized. 12. What was Dr. Russo’s assumption of the study? A. Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies. B. The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees. C. Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom. D. Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry. 13. How did Dr. Russo test his idea? A. By consulting experts in this field. B. By referring to other scholars’ analysis. C.

Self-motivation is encouraging yourself to continue making progress toward a goal even when it feels challenging. It’s turning your shoulds into musts. How can you motivate (激励) yourself to achieve your goals? ____16____ Take responsibility for your life. Self-motivation is often difficult because it comes from you. If you don’t take care of the underlying issues that keep you from making progress, you can fall back on blaming (归咎于) others for your failure. In some cases, you can rely on external factors and friends for motivation. ____17____ In other words, you’re the one who must take charge of your own life. ____18____ You need a powerful purpose to motivate you.

Connect your goals back to your purpose and you’ll never lack self-motivation. Reevaluate your goals. At any moment, the decision you make can change the course of your life forever. If you focus on your vision and purpose, but you’re still not feeling inspired, you may need to make a decision to go in a new direction. ____19____ Create powerful beliefs. ____20____ If you don’t have enough self-motivation, it comes down to one reason: you don’t see yourself as a self-motivated person.

He was obviously in bad manners with some dealers with whom he had been talking. He held in his hand an open wallet, full of bills. Hardly noticing the child as she made her request, except to swear (骂咧咧) at her for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a bank note. Glad to escape so easily, Susan rushed out of the gate, and when she stopped to see the money safely in the folds of her worn scarf, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked around. Nobody was near to share her discovery, and her first feeling was joy at the unexpected prize. “It is mine, all mine,” she thought. “I will buy mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if it will buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom, too.” At that moment she realized that the hotel keeper must have given it to her by mistake, and therefore she had no right to have it, as she was always told by her mother the Golden Rule. What belongs to you is yours, and what doesn’t belong to you should not be accepted. But again the voice of owning it by herself whispered, “He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it? Keep it; he will never know it, even if it should be a mistake; he had too many such bills in that great wallet, so it doesn’t matter if missing one.” While this conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil, she was hurrying homeward as fast as possible. 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。 Yet, before she came in sight of her home, she stopped. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The hotel keeper looked at Susan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
