It holds great significance in Chinese culture and agriculture, showing nature comes back to life and the beginning of a new agricultural cycle. The Beginning of Summer (Li Xia) The Beginning of Summer will bring lots of rain and lead directly to the harvest. Thus an agricultural saying is that “no rain, no rice” and “no rain, we will hang up the hoe.” During this time, the hot weather would cause people to lose weight and become tired. It becomes the custom to weigh and drink tea as this is considered a guard against the hot weather. The Beginning of Autumn (Li Qiu) The start of Autumn shows that the fruitful season is coming. It is time to harvest crops. There is a saying: If it rains on the day of the Start of Autumn, a good harvest is expected. On the first day of the Start of Autumn, people will weigh themselves and compare their weight to what it was at the Start of Summer. If one has lost weight during the summer, then at the beginning of autumn, he or she needs to gain weight by eating a variety of tasty foods, especially meat. The Beginning of Winter (Li Dong) Li Dong means winter is coming. At the Start of Winter, there’s a tradition called “nourishing (滋养) the winter”. People in the past believed that as the weather gets cold, our bodies need more nourishment. A common way to do this is by eating lots of healthy foods like chicken, duck, and a special soup made with eight valuable Chinese herbs. 21. Which solar term marks the start of a new farming cycle? A. Li Chun. B. Li Xia. C. Li Qiu. D. Li Dong. 22. What do Li Xia and Li Qiu have in common? A. People feel tired. B. People need to lose weight. C. Rain is connected with a good harvest. D. They carry the spirit of new life. 23. What do people usually do at the Start of Winter according to the text? A. Drink tea. B. Get close to nature. C. Compare their weight. D. Have healthy foods. B I began learning languages at the age of five, when my parents sent me to an after-school French class at my primary school. My parents, who speak English, stressed using different languages at home — even Grandpa could speak a foreign language! I don’t remember much from those early classes, aside from learning different colours and days of the week over and over, but I do know that it was during these moments that I first discovered the joy of journeying away from my surroundings with words. Because in French class it was easy to imagine we were somewhere else, away-far away-from the present, which was a really attractive idea to a young child with a wild imagination. I stuck with French as I grew up; it was one of those strong relationships that provides comfort. It wasn’t until I began learning Spanish (西班牙语) at age 11 that I experienced a more transformative (变化的) relationship with languages. Looking back, it strikes me that Spanish, for me, was always about feelings. At the beginning the focus was on learning words and grammar to describe how I was feeling, but I somehow ended up with a language that helped me express myself better than my native language. After years of studying Spanish at school, and living in Spain, my Spanish came to match, and perhaps even exceed (超过), my English. Despite having returned to the UK ten years ago, now I still often find myself stuck in English conversations, unable to express a thought or feeling with quite the same depth as I would be able to in Spanish. Spanish affords me another kind of liveliness. I’m not just “in love”. To me, “te echo de menos” houses more feeling than “I miss you,” which takes me back to a time in my life that I miss a lot. 24. What is the author’s native language? A. French. B. English. C. Spanish. D. Chinese. 25. Why did the author feel enjoyable in French class? A. He could picture an amazing world. B. He had no homework to do. C. He could turn to his parents for help. D. He found it similar to English. 26. How is Spanish different from other languages for the author? A. It uses a host of simpler words. B. It leads to more misunderstanding. C. It has more difficult grammar rules. D. It allows him to better express feelings. 27. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph? A. He succeeded at the cost of hard work. B. Learning a language takes too much time. C. Spanish brings the happy past into his mind. D. He often misses the vacation spent in the UK. C Last September, a strange seismic signal (地震信号), lasting more than a week, attracted the attention of researchers around the world. It took 68 experts from 15 countries to discover the cause of the “USO” -Unidentified Seismic Object. The term USO is used informally by scientists for unusual seismic signals that can’t be explained, according to Kristian Svennevig, the lead author of a new report on this signal. From the start, scientists agreed this signal was not from an earthquake. Svennevig compared earthquakes to hitting piano keys with force, creating a mix of sounds that disappeared quickly. However, the unusual signal was like a single piano key producing a clear sound that lasted for nine days. Researchers tracked the signal to a huge snowslide in eastern Greenland’s Dickson fjord (峡湾), which was formed by melting (融化) ice due to climate change. Some 1.2 kilometers above the fjord, a mountaintop fell, driving more than 25 million cubic meters of rock and ice into the water-enough to fill 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The resulting tsunami (海啸) reached a height of 200 meters. The wave’s energy was caught in the rocky fjord, causing the water to move back and forth. This movement created the seismic signal. Svennevig noted that understanding this event took time. Even when they had ideas about what happened, they needed more information and improved models to support their findings. “We could only show that the tsunami was caught and kept moving inside the fjord for nine days after we used special army maps and improved our tsunami models,” Svennevig explained. To the researchers, the signal served as a wakeup call-similar events may happen with landfalls in other fjords or lakes due to climate change, which could lead to more landfalls and tsunamis in the Arctic. Understanding this event helps scientists learn more about how the Earth is changing due to global warming. There is still much to discover as we face the effects of climate change. 28. Why did Svennevig mention piano keys? A. To explain the strange signal. B. To introduce a musical instrument. C. To compare the sounds in nature. D. To give tips on playing the piano. 29. What caused the seismic signal? A. A wildfire. B. A snowslide. C. A heavy rain. D. An earthquake. 30. What can we know from Svennevig’s words? A. It’ll take much time to receive the seismic signal. B. It’s slow for scientists to find an answer to the event. C. A group of scientists was caught in the deadly tsunami. D. The researchers will make public the recent finding soon. 31. What does the author stress in the text? A Landfalls always happen along with tsunamis. B. Scientists should keep an open mind on opinions. C. This event may shape our view on various cultures. D. The signal gives us fair warning of climate change. D Bruce has been missing the upper part of his beak (喙) since at least 2012. This makes the parrot look different. But scientists are more surprised at what he can do in spite of his injury. When he was saved, this young bird, just at the age he was learning to fly, went to live at the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve in Christchurch, southern New Zealand. Long, sharp beaks help parrots find insects in the woods. Bruce’s injured beak means he couldn’t forage on his own. Normally these birds use their beaks to keep their feathers (羽毛) clean, but Bruce couldn’t. However, researchers noticed that Bruce had his own way to do it. First, he looks for his tool among pointy small stones. He then rolls a few stones around in his mouth with his tongue until he finds one that he likes. He holds the chosen stone between his tongue and lower beak to pick through his feathers. This behavior didn’t come from the wild. When Bruce arrived at Willowbank, he was too young to learn it. And no other bird at Willowbank uses stones this way. “It seems like he just creates this tool for himself,” says Amalia Bastos, who researches how animals understand the world. Tool use is just one of parrots’ many skills. The birds are famous for copying-and perhaps even understanding-human speech. These make the birds seem quite smart. But studying intelligence (智力) is difficult, especially in animals other than humans. Researchers once thought these skills made humans special. But some other animals also practice these skills, such as dolphins and elephants. So do parrots. Even so, parrots may not be an obvious choice for studying human-like intelligence. Parrots’ bodies are very different than ours. Their brains also look quite simple compared to ours. But studies over the last 10 years are highlighting the hidden powers of bird brains. And those powers suggest parrots may be able to teach us about what human-like intelligence is like. 32. What can be learned about Bruce before he lived at Willowbank? A. He was badly hurt. B. He was kept at a zoo. C. He was old enough. D. He was lost in the woods. 33. Which best explains the word “forage” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Cry out for help. B. Turn up in time. C. Search for food. D. Live with others. 34. What can we infer about Bruce? A. He taught himself to use tools. B. He always ran into trouble. C. He failed to build a new home. D. He learnt the skill in the wild. 35 What is a suitable title for the text? A. Taking Action to Protect Parrots B. Knowing Animals’ Survival Skill C. Scientists Raise Young Parrots in the Lab D. Parrots May Be Smarter than We Thought 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。 There are a number of steps you can take to get your smartphone and Internet use under control.

I had trained for months, preparing for the marathon that would test my limits and mark a big step in my sports journey. The first part of the run went quickly, and I felt good with my pace, breathing in the fresh air with every step. However, as the sun climbed higher in the sky, the temperature started to go up, and the run began to make me tired. My legs felt heavier with each step, and I started to feel sick. Suddenly, I felt myself losing balance. Before I realized it, I had fallen onto the hot ground. Everything was spinning (旋转) around me, but I could see someone coming closer. A runner from the pack (队伍) was at my side. “Are you OK?” he asked with a voice of concern. Without waiting for an answer, he helped me up to my feet and guided me to the medical aid station.

Classes begin on Monday, May 1st, and will continue throughout the summer. Fifteen swim classes are being offered. Each class lasts ten hours. A new class starts each week of the summer. Each class costs $20.The pool is big enough for six students per class. Classes will increase in difficulty each week. You can sign up online for as many classes as you like, but you must pass the skill level test. For example, students who sign up for Level 4 must show their grades for completing Level 3. Children cannot sign up for a level they are not ready for. If you have never attended any classes in the club, please come in advance to the club on April 24th or 25th for a swim skill test. After that, the teaching assistants in the club will put you in a particular skill level. That’s all for our swimming classes. Happy learning here. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Beginning of Spring (Li Chun) Li Chun, known as the Beginning of Spring, is a traditional Chinese solar term (节气) marking the start of spring in the lunar calendar. It holds great significance in Chinese culture and agriculture, showing nature comes back to life and the beginning of a new agricultural cycle. The Beginning of Summer (Li Xia) The Beginning of Summer will bring lots of rain and lead directly to the harvest. Thus an agricultural saying is that “no rain, no rice” and “no rain, we will hang up the hoe.” During this time, the hot weather would cause people to lose weight and become tired. It becomes the custom to weigh and drink tea as this is considered a guard against the hot weather. The Beginning of Autumn (Li Qiu) The start of Autumn shows that the fruitful season is coming. It is time to harvest crops. There is a saying: If it rains on the day of the Start of Autumn, a good harvest is expected. On the first day of the Start of Autumn, people will weigh themselves and compare their weight to what it was at the Start of Summer. If one has lost weight during the summer, then at the beginning of autumn, he or she needs to gain weight by eating a variety of tasty foods, especially meat. The Beginning of Winter (Li Dong) Li Dong means winter is coming. At the Start of Winter, there’s a tradition called “nourishing (滋养) the winter”. People in the past believed that as the weather gets cold, our bodies need more nourishment. A common way to do this is by eating lots of healthy foods like chicken, duck, and a special soup made with eight valuable Chinese herbs. 21. Which solar term marks the start of a new farming cycle? A. Li Chun. B. Li Xia. C. Li Qiu. D. Li Dong. 22. What do Li Xia and Li Qiu have in common? A. People feel tired. B. People need to lose weight. C. Rain is connected with a good harvest. D. They carry the spirit of new life. 23. What do people usually do at the Start of Winter according to the text? A. Drink tea. B. Get close to nature. C. Compare their weight. D. Have healthy foods. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了中国传统节气中立春、立夏、立秋和立冬的相关信息，包括每个节气的意义、气候特点以及对应的习俗。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Beginning of Spring (Li Chun)部分“Li Chun, known as the Beginning of Spring...showing nature comes back to life and the beginning of a new agricultural cycle.(立春，被称为“春季的开端”……象征着大自然恢复生机，同时也标志着新的农业周期的开始。)”可知，立春标志着新的农业周期的开始。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Beginning of Summer (Li Xia)部分“The Beginning of Summer will bring lots of rain and lead directly to the harvest. Thus an agricultural saying is that “no rain, no rice” and “no rain, we will hang up the hoe.”(立夏时节会带来大量降雨，并且直接关系到庄稼的收成。因此有一句农谚说“立夏无雨，碓头无米”。)”以及The Beginning of Autumn (Li Qiu)部分“There is a saying: If it rains on the day of the Start of Autumn, a good harvest is expected.(有句谚语说：如果在立秋这天下雨，就预示着会有好收成。)”可知，立夏和立秋的共同之处是雨水都与丰收有关。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“At the Start of Winter, there’s a tradition called “nourishing (滋养) the winter”. People in the past believed that as the weather gets cold, our bodies need more nourishment. A common way to do this is by eating lots of healthy foods like chicken, duck, and a special soup made with eight valuable Chinese herbs. (立冬时节，有一项名为“补冬”的传统。过去，人们认为随着天气变冷，我们的身体需要更多的营养。一个常见的补冬方式是食用大量健康的食物，比如鸡肉、鸭肉，以及用八种珍贵中药材熬制的特制汤品。)”可知，在立冬时，人们通常会吃健康的食物来滋养身体。故选D。 B I began learning languages at the age of five, when my parents sent me to an after-school French class at my primary school. My parents, who speak English, stressed using different languages at home — even Grandpa could speak a foreign language! I don’t remember much from those early classes, aside from learning different colours and days of the week over and over, but I do know that it was during these moments that I first discovered the joy of journeying away from my surroundings with words. Because in French class it was easy to imagine we were somewhere else, away-far away-from the present, which was a really attractive idea to a young child with a wild imagination. I stuck with French as I grew up; it was one of those strong relationships that provides comfort. It wasn’t until I began learning Spanish (西班牙语) at age 11 that I experienced a more transformative (变化的) relationship with languages. Looking back, it strikes me that Spanish, for me, was always about feelings. At the beginning the focus was on learning words and grammar to describe how I was feeling, but I somehow ended up with a language that helped me express myself better than my native language. After years of studying Spanish at school, and living in Spain, my Spanish came to match, and perhaps even exceed (超过), my English. Despite having returned to the UK ten years ago, now I still often find myself stuck in English conversations, unable to express a thought or feeling with quite the same depth as I would be able to in Spanish. Spanish affords me another kind of liveliness. I’m not just “in love”. To me, “te echo de menos” houses more feeling than “I miss you,” which takes me back to a time in my life that I miss a lot. 24. What is the author’s native language? A. French. B. English. C. Spanish. D. Chinese. 25. Why did the author feel enjoyable in French class? A. He could picture an amazing world. B. He had no homework to do. C. He could turn to his parents for help. D. He found it similar to English. 26. How is Spanish different from other languages for the author? A. It uses a host of simpler words. B. It leads to more misunderstanding. C. It has more difficult grammar rules. D. It allows him to better express feelings. 27. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph? A. He succeeded at the cost of hard work. B. Learning a language takes too much time. C. Spanish brings the happy past into his mind. D. He often misses the vacation spent in the UK. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，作者回顾了学习法语和西班牙语的心路历程，表达了其对西班牙语的热爱之情。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My parents, who speak English, stressed using different languages at home — even Grandpa could speak a foreign language!(我的父母说英语，他们强调在家里使用不同的语言——甚至爷爷也会说外语！)”及倒数第二段“Despite having returned to the UK ten years ago, now I still often find myself stuck in English conversations, unable to express a thought or feeling with quite the same depth as I would be able to in Spanish.(尽管我十年前回到了英国，但现在我仍然经常发现自己陷入英语对话中，无法像用西班牙语那样有深度地表达思想或感觉)”可推知，作者的父母都说英语，家乡在英国，因此，作者的母语是英语。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Because in French class it was easy to imagine we were somewhere else, away-far away-from the present, which was a really attractive idea to a young child with a wild imagination.(因为在法语课上很容易想象我们在别的地方，离现在很远很远，这对一个想象力丰富的孩子来说是一个很有吸引力的想法)”可知，作者在法语课上感到快乐是因为可以想象一个美好的世界。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Looking back, it strikes me that Spanish, for me, was always about feelings. At the beginning the focus was on learning words and grammar to describe how I was feeling, but I somehow ended up with a language that helped me express myself better than my native language.(现在回想起来，我发现西班牙语对我来说，总是关乎感情。一开始的重点是学习单词和语法来描述我的感受，但不知怎么的，我最终学会了一种比我的母语更能帮助我表达自己的语言)”可知，作者觉得西班牙语和其他语言不同是由于西班牙语能让自己更好地表达感情。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Spanish affords me another kind of liveliness. I’m not just “in love”. To me, “te echo de menos” houses more feeling than “I miss you,” which takes me back to a time in my life that I miss a lot.(西班牙语给了我另一种活力。我不仅仅是“爱上了”。对我来说，“te echo de menos（我想念你）”比“我想你”更有感觉，它把我带回了我生命中一个我非常想念的时间)”可知，作者觉得西班牙语更能表达自己的感受，能带作者想起愉快的过去。故选C。 C Last September, a strange seismic signal (地震信号), lasting more than a week, attracted the attention of researchers around the world. It took 68 experts from 15 countries to discover the cause of the “USO” -Unidentified Seismic Object. The term USO is used informally by scientists for unusual seismic signals that can’t be explained, according to Kristian Svennevig, the lead author of a new report on this signal. From the start, scientists agreed this signal was not from an earthquake. Svennevig compared earthquakes to hitting piano keys with force, creating a mix of sounds that disappeared quickly. However, the unusual signal was like a single piano key producing a clear sound that lasted for nine days. Researchers tracked the signal to a huge snowslide in eastern Greenland’s Dickson fjord (峡湾), which was formed by melting (融化) ice due to climate change. Some 1.2 kilometers above the fjord, a mountaintop fell, driving more than 25 million cubic meters of rock and ice into the water-enough to fill 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The resulting tsunami (海啸) reached a height of 200 meters. The wave’s energy was caught in the rocky fjord, causing the water to move back and forth. This movement created the seismic signal. Svennevig noted that understanding this event took time. Even when they had ideas about what happened, they needed more information and improved models to support their findings. “We could only show that the tsunami was caught and kept moving inside the fjord for nine days after we used special army maps and improved our tsunami models,” Svennevig explained. To the researchers, the signal served as a wakeup call-similar events may happen with landfalls in other fjords or lakes due to climate change, which could lead to more landfalls and tsunamis in the Arctic. Understanding this event helps scientists learn more about how the Earth is changing due to global warming. There is still much to discover as we face the effects of climate change. 28. Why did Svennevig mention piano keys? A. To explain the strange signal. B. To introduce a musical instrument. C. To compare the sounds in nature. D. To give tips on playing the piano. 29. What caused the seismic signal? A. A wildfire. B. A snowslide. C. A heavy rain. D. An earthquake. 30. What can we know from Svennevig’s words? A. It’ll take much time to receive the seismic signal. B. It’s slow for scientists to find an answer to the event. C. A group of scientists was caught in the deadly tsunami. D. The researchers will make public the recent finding soon. 31. What does the author stress in the text? A. Landfalls always happen along with tsunamis. B. Scientists should keep an open mind on opinions. C. This event may shape our view on various cultures. D. The signal gives us fair warning of climate change. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是受气候变化影响，格陵兰岛东部迪克森峡湾的一次巨大雪崩，从而产生了地震信号。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Svennevig compared earthquakes to hitting piano keys with force, creating a mix of sounds that disappeared quickly. However, the unusual signal was like a single piano key producing a clear sound that lasted for nine days.(Svennevig将地震比作用力敲击钢琴键，创造出一种很快消失的混合声音。然而，这个不寻常的信号就像一个钢琴琴键发出的清晰声音，持续了九天。)”可知，Svennevig提到钢琴琴键来解释这个奇怪的信号。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。与文章第四段“Researchers tracked the signal to a huge snowslide in eastern Greenland’s Dickson fjord (峡湾), which was formed by melting (融化) ice due to climate change. Some 1.2 kilometers above the fjord, a mountaintop fell, driving more than 25 million cubic meters of rock and ice into the water-enough to fill 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.(研究人员将信号追踪到格陵兰岛东部迪克森峡湾的一场巨大雪崩，这场雪崩是由气候变化导致的冰川融化形成的。在峡湾上方约1.2公里处，一座山顶坍塌，将2500多万立方米的岩石和冰块冲入水中，足以填满1万个奥运会标准游泳池。)”可知，格陵兰岛东部迪克森峡湾的一场巨大雪崩引发了这种异常的地震信号。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“Svennevig noted that understanding this event took time. Even when they had ideas about what happened, they needed more information and improved models to support their findings. (Svennevig指出，理解这一事件需要时间。即使他们对发生的事情有想法，他们也需要更多的信息和改进的模型来支持他们的发现。)”可知，科学家们需要更多的信息和改进的模型来支持他们的发现，由此可推断，科学家们要找到这一事件的答案很缓慢。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“To the researchers, the signal served as a wakeup call-similar events may happen with landfalls in other fjords or lakes due to climate change, which could lead to more landfalls and tsunamis in the Arctic. Understanding this event helps scientists learn more about how the Earth is changing due to global warming. There is still much to discover as we face the effects of climate change.(对于研究人员来说，这个信号是一个警钟，由于气候变化，其他峡湾或湖泊的登陆也可能发生类似的事件，这可能会导致北极更多的登陆和海啸。了解这一事件有助于科学家更多地了解地球如何因全球变暖而变化。面对气候变化的影响，我们仍有许多发现。)”可知，作者强调，这一信号是为我们提供了气候变化的警告。故选D项。 D Bruce has been missing the upper part of his beak (喙) since at least 2012. This makes the parrot look different. But scientists are more surprised at what he can do in spite of his injury. When he was saved, this young bird, just at the age he was learning to fly, went to live at the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve in Christchurch, southern New Zealand. Long, sharp beaks help parrots find insects in the woods. Bruce’s injured beak means he couldn’t forage on his own. Normally these birds use their beaks to keep their feathers (羽毛) clean, but Bruce couldn’t. However, researchers noticed that Bruce had his own way to do it. First, he looks for his tool among pointy small stones. He then rolls a few stones around in his mouth with his tongue until he finds one that he likes. He holds the chosen stone between his tongue and lower beak to pick through his feathers. This behavior didn’t come from the wild. When Bruce arrived at Willowbank, he was too young to learn it. And no other bird at Willowbank uses stones this way. “It seems like he just creates this tool for himself,” says Amalia Bastos, who researches how animals understand the world. Tool use is just one of parrots’ many skills. The birds are famous for copying-and perhaps even understanding-human speech. These make the birds seem quite smart. But studying intelligence (智力) is difficult, especially in animals other than humans. Researchers once thought these skills made humans special. But some other animals also practice these skills such as dolphins and elephants. So do parrots. Even so, parrots may not be an obvious choice for studying human-like intelligence. Parrots’ bodies are very different than ours. Their brains also look quite simple compared to ours. But studies over the last 10 years are highlighting the hidden powers of bird brains. And those powers suggest parrots may be able to teach us about what human-like intelligence is like. 32. What can be learned about Bruce before he lived at Willowbank? A. He was badly hurt. B. He was kept at a zoo. C. He was old enough. D. He was lost in the woods. 33. Which best explains the word “forage” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Cry out for help. B. Turn up in time. C. Search for food. D. Live with others. 34. What can we infer about Bruce? A. He taught himself to use tools. B. He always ran into trouble. C. He failed to build a new home. D. He learnt the skill in the wild. 35 What is a suitable title for the text? A. Taking Action to Protect Parrots B. Knowing Animals’ Survival Skill C. Scientists Raise Young Parrots in the Lab D. Parrots May Be Smarter than We Thought 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述一只失去上喙的鹦鹉Bruce学会使用石头来整理自己的羽毛，从而认为鹦鹉可能比我们想象的更聪明。 【32题详解】 推理判断题题。由文章第一段“Bruce has been missing the upper part of his beak (喙) since at least 2012. (至少从2012年开始，Bruce 就失去了喙的上半部分)”以及第二段“When he was saved, this young bird, just at the age he was learning to fly, went to live at the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve in Christchurch, southern New Zealand.(当它获救时，这只幼鸟，就在它学习飞行的年龄，去了新西兰南部克赖斯特彻奇的Willowbank野生动物保护区生活)”可推知，Bruce在住Willowbank之前受了重伤。故选A项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段“Long, sharp beaks help parrots find insects in the woods. Bruce’s injured beak means he couldn’t forage on his own. (长而尖的喙帮助鹦鹉在树林里找到昆虫。Bruce受伤的喙意味着他不能自己 。)”可知，喙帮助鹦鹉寻找昆虫吃，没有喙它就难以“觅食”，所以猜测forage表“觅食”的意思。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“This behavior didn’t come from the wild. When Bruce arrived at Willowbank, he was too young to learn it. And no other bird at Willowbank uses stones this way. ‘It seems like he just creates this tool for himself,’ says Amalia Bastos, who researches how animals understand the world.(这种行为并非来自野外。当Bruce到Willowbank时，它还太小，无法学会这种行为。Willowbank没有其他鸟会这样用石头。研究动物如何理解世界的Amalia Bastos说，‘它似乎只是为自己创造了这个工具。’)”可推知，Bruce自学了如何使用工具。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第六段“Tool use is just one of parrots’ many skills. The birds are famous for copying-and perhaps even understanding-human speech. These make the birds seem quite smart. But studying intelligence (智力) is difficult, especially in animals other than humans.(使用工具只是鹦鹉的众多技能之一。这些鸟以模仿甚至理解人类语言而闻名。这些鸟看起来很聪明。但研究智力是困难的，尤其是在人类以外的动物身上)”以及最后一段中“And those powers suggest parrots may be able to teach us about what human-like intelligence is like.(而这些能力表明，鹦鹉可能能够教会我们关于类似人类的智能是什么样的)”结合全文内容可知，文章通过讲述一只失去上喙的鹦鹉Bruce学会使用石头来整理自己的羽毛，从而说明鹦鹉可能比我们想象的更聪明。故D选项“鹦鹉可能比我们想象的要更聪明”最适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。 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。 There are a number of steps you can take to get your smartphone and Internet use under control.

I had trained for months, preparing for the marathon that would test my limits and mark a big step in my sports journey. The first part of the run went quickly, and I felt good with my pace, breathing in the fresh air with every step. However, as the sun climbed higher in the sky, the temperature started to go up, and the run began to make me tired. My legs felt heavier with each step, and I started to feel sick. Suddenly, I felt myself losing balance. Before I realized it, I had fallen onto the hot ground. Everything was spinning (旋转) around me, but I could see someone coming closer. A runner from the pack (队伍) was at my side. “Are you OK?” he asked with a voice of concern. Without waiting for an answer, he helped me up to my feet and guided me to the medical aid station. The doctors quickly checked how I was feeling. They gave me water and a break to ease my thirst and tiredness from the heat. As I drank water and put cold pads on my head, I started to feel better. The stranger, Alex, stayed by my side, giving me much comfort. 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。 I looked at Alex, really thankful. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the last few minutes, we ran towards the finish line hand in hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I looked at Alex, really thankful. “Thank you,” I managed to say. “I wouldn’t have made it without you.” Alex just smiled, his eyes kind and encouraging. “We’re all in this together,” he replied. Feeling more determined, I chose to keep running the race, even if it meant finishing at a slower pace. Alex, who first thought of running without me, decided to stay with me. Together, we picked up our pace to the finish line, and our friendship started to build with each shared mile. The cheers from the crowd celebrating the crossing of the finish line grew louder and clearer. In the last few minutes, we ran towards the finish line hand in hand. Though we didn’t cross the finish line ahead of the pack, we received the warmest applause, because we had won something far more valuable — a friendship that was built on the understanding of what it means to support one another in the face of difficulty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在马拉松比赛中因体力不支而摔倒，得到了另一位参赛者亚历克斯的帮助，并最终与亚历克斯一起完成比赛的故事。文章通过这一事件，强调了人与人之间的互助精神以及比赛中的友谊与支持。 【详解】： 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我看着亚历克斯，非常感激。”可知，第一段可描写作者对亚历克斯的感激之情，以及从这次经历中领悟到的马拉松比赛的真谛——不仅是体力的考验，更是人与人之间的支持与鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“在最后几分钟，我们手拉手冲向终点线。”可知，第二段可描写作者与亚历克斯一起完成比赛，并从中体会到真正的胜利在于人与人之间的连接与善意，而非单纯的比赛成绩。 2. 续写线索：得到帮助——表达感激——继续比赛——完成比赛——领悟真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/complete ②庆祝：celebrate/observe ③收到：receive/get 情绪类 ①鼓舞人心的：encouraging/inspiring ②最热烈的：warmest/most enthusiastic 【点睛】【高分句型1】Feeling more determined, I chose to keep running the race, even if it meant finishing at a slower pace.(运用了现在分词作状语及even if引导的让步状语从句) 【高分句型2】Alex, who first thought of running without me, decided to stay with me.(运用了who引导的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Lisa, what about going to the bookstore with me this afternoon?
