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. 1. Which solar term marks the start of a new farming cycle? A. Li Chun. B. Li Xia. C. Li Qiu. D. Li Dong. 2. 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. 3. 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】1. A 2. C 3. 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。 【1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。 【2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。 【3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 Growing up in India, Dr. George Varghese had no interest in computers. Instead, he spent much of his time playing sports. Varghese’s interest in networks and how they function grew out of his studies in electrical engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Bombay. A teacher returning from the University of California-Los Angeles fired his curiosity about the performance of the Internet. “It was very theoretical (理论的), but it did interest me to create something new,” Varghese says. Varghese’s work to improve the speed of networks, and thus the Internet itself, developed further during his first job. While at Digital Equipment Corporation, he watched three world-class products being built - the first bridge, the DECNIS router, and the Gigaswitch. He recognized the potential (潜力) in the interplay between hardware design and systems that he later developed into the textbook Network Algorithmics: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Designing Fast Networked Devices. The textbook is Varghese’s proudest professional achievement, because the general rules in the book have held up since its first printing almost 20 years ago. “I was shocked that the world had changed so much with cloud computing. Yet it seemed to me that the rules still held. I hope they keep holding for many years as network technologies keep changing,” Varghese says. As for his ongoing job to improve the Internet’s performance, Varghese was influenced by Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger’s book, The Juggling Act: Bringing Balance to Your Faith, Family, and Work. Gelsinger describes the Internet as a modern version (版本) of ancient Roman roads - both made business and the spread of ideas and culture faster. 4. What can we know about Varghese before he went to IIT? A. He was active. B. He was into computers. C. He was quiet. D. He was bored with sports. 5. Who fired Varghese’s interest in the Internet? A. A popular writer. B. A service engineer. C. A fitness coach. D. A college teacher. 6. What does Varghese’s work focus on? A. Finding jobs for students. B. Cutting the cost of networks. C. Speeding up the Internet. D. Testing out new computers. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Varghese’s dream. B. A network expert. C. Varghese’s daily life. D. A new textbook. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍George Varghese作为一名网络方面专家的相关经历等情况。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Growing up in India, Dr. George Varghese had no interest in computers. Instead, he spent much of his time playing sports. (在印度长大的George Varghese博士对计算机毫无兴趣。相反，他花了很多时间做运动。)”可知他花了很多时间做运动，可推断他很活跃，故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Varghese’s interest in networks and how they function grew out of his studies in electrical engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Bombay. A teacher returning from the University of California-Los Angeles fired his curiosity about the performance of the Internet. (Varghese对网络及其功能的兴趣源于他在孟买印度理工学院（IIT）学习电气工程。一位从加州大学洛杉矶分校（University of California-Los Angeles）回来的老师激发了他对互联网表现的好奇心。)”可知是Varghese的大学老师激发了他对互联网的兴趣，故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Varghese’s work to improve the speed of networks, and thus the Internet itself, developed further during his first job. While at Digital Equipment Corporation, he watched three world-class products being built - the first bridge, the DECNIS router, and the Gigaswitch. He recognized the potential (潜力) in the interplay between hardware design and systems that he later developed into the textbook Network Algorithmics: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Designing Fast Networked Devices. (在他的第一份工作中，Varghese致力于提高网络速度，从而提高互联网本身的发展。在数字设备公司工作期间，他见证了三个世界级产品的诞生——第一座网桥、DECNIS路由器和千兆交换机。他认识到硬件设计和系统之间相互作用的潜力，后来他将其发展成教科书《网络算法：设计快速网络设备的跨学科方法》。)”可知Varghese的工作致力于提高网络速度，故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，可知文章整体围绕着 Dr. George Varghese 展开，介绍了他从在印度理工学院学习，到工作中对网络相关工作的开展，以及其编写的很有影响力的教材等，重点是在介绍他作为一名网络方面专家的相关经历等情况，故选B。 C The Nature Conservancy (TNC) worked with Seychelles to make a plan that helps the country to pay almost $22 million of its debt (债务). In return, Seychelles, a group of 115 islands, agreed to protect some large areas of the sea. To protect the sea, Seychelles has made two large protected areas, called marine parks. Together, these marine parks are bigger than 80,000 square miles. In one of the parks, it will be against the law to take anything out. That means no fishing. In the other park, they will try to protect the sea by limiting fishing and other activities. Seychelles is famous for its beautiful oceans, which have many different kinds of species (物种). But the locals fished too much there. It is expected that protecting these areas will help fish and other ocean life. The most important businesses in Seychelles are fishing and tourism. This deal will protect about 15% of its ocean. If the plan succeeds, Seychelles will double that area in two years. TNC got wealthy people to give money to help pay off some of the debt that Seychelles owed. The actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, for example, gave $1 million. DiCaprio said, “The marine parks mean that all wildlife living in these waters are now far better protected from overfishing and climate change.” If the plan works, it should make Seychelles a more beautiful place for tourists to visit. It will also mean that there are more fish available for people who fish for a living. But some local fishermen are worried that they will lose their way of making money. Other people are afraid that the Seychelles government will change their minds. 8. Why did Seychelles agree to work with TNC? A. To pay off its debt. B. To create national parks. C. To market its fish. D. To protect the coastline. 9. What is a problem facing Seychelles? A. Its parks are small. B. Its hotels are expensive. C. Its sea is overfished. D. Its air is badly polluted. 10. What did DiCaprio think of the deal? A. It will put all sea life at risk. B. It will deliver a positive effect. C. It will bring about a big loss. D. It will improve the film industry. 11. What can we infer from the text? A. Tourists are unwilling to visit the country. B. The government changed the plan. C. The locals have to sell fish at a lower price. D. Not all fishermen support the plan. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了塞舌尔与自然保护协会合作，通过保护海洋来偿还债务的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Nature Conservancy (TNC) worked with Seychelles to make a plan that helps the country to pay almost $22 million of its debt (债务). In return, Seychelles, a group of 115 islands, agreed to protect some large areas of the sea.(自然保护协会(TNC)与塞舌尔合作制定了一项计划，帮助该国偿还近2200万美元的债务。作为回报，拥有115个岛屿的塞舌尔同意保护一些大片海域)”可知，塞舌尔同意与自然保护协会合作是为了偿还其债务。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But the locals fished too much there. It is expected that protecting these areas will help fish and other ocean life.(但当地人在那里过度捕捞。预计保护这些区域将有助于鱼类和其他海洋生物)”可知，塞舌尔面临的问题是其海洋被过度捕捞。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中DiCaprio的话“The marine parks mean that all wildlife living in these waters are now far better protected from overfishing and climate change.(海洋公园意味着生活在这片水域的所有野生动物现在都得到了更好的保护，免受过度捕捞和气候变化的影响)”可知，DiCaprio认为这个协议将产生积极的影响。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But some local fishermen are worried that they will lose their way of making money.(但一些当地渔民担心他们会失去赚钱的方式)”可推知，并非所有渔民都支持这个计划。故选D项。 D When Barton’s wife started working at Elephant’s World, which works to rescue badly treated elephants just outside Kanchanaburi in Thailand, Barton wondered what would happen if he were to play some slow classical music to these animals. For Barton’s 50th birthday, his wife convinced (说服) the management at Elephant’s World to allow them to bring a piano into the place. However, Barton’s personal project to play music to these elephants was not one he entered without a few doubts. As Barton recalls, the night before moving his instrument into the wilderness of the Elephant’s World, he wondered how the elephants would react to the music: “I contemplated what it would be like to play for the elephants. Would they listen, or would it be dangerous?” Moving a piano into nature is not easy. As Barton says, “Moving our piano from Bangkok to the wilderness of the mountains in Kanchanaburi was challenging, but we made it.” Now Barton is convinced that the universal language of music is a perfect treatment for elephants who have worked for humans all their lives, and have sadly ended up being blind or disabled. This pianist has carefully observed (观察) the reactions of the elephants to the type of music played. “Their breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy,” he says. “An 80-year-old elephant, Ampan, who is almost totally blind, enjoys Beethoven’s slow ‘Moonlight Sonata’ movement. He will walk away if I play Schubert, rather than Beethoven, which it loves!” This musician adds, “I feel happy to live with elephants and enjoy getting to know them. I feel it worthwhile to play piano music for them, especially if it brings comfort to those who have had stressful lives or live in darkness.” 12. What is the purpose of Barton’s personal project? A. To remind people to save more wildlife. B. To calm these badly treated elephants. C. To convince his wife to play the piano. D. To erase others’ doubts about his love. 13 What does the underlined word “contemplated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Gave up. B. Showed off. C. Suffered from. D. Thought about. 14. Why does Barton mention the aged elephant Ampan? A. To compare two great musicians from Europe. B. To discuss the hardship the elephant had faced. C. To show elephants have their own loved music. D. To explain why he prefers to play classical music. 15. What does Barton want to say in the last paragraph? A. The work gives him a sense of achievement. B. He manages to get over the difficulties he met. C. Playing the piano in the wild makes little sense. D. Staying with wild elephants is quite stressful. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了巴顿在妻子工作的大象保护区为大象弹奏古典音乐的故事，他发现音乐能让大象放松快乐，尤其是为那些生活压力大或失明的大象带来安慰，他认为音乐是治愈大象的完美方式。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Barton wondered what would happen if he were to play some slow classical music to these animals.(Barton想知道如果他给这些动物播放一些缓慢的古典音乐会发生什么)”、第五段中“Now Barton is convinced that the universal language of music is a perfect treatment for elephants who have worked for humans all their lives, and have sadly ended up being blind or disabled.(现在Barton深信，音乐这种通用语言是对那些一生为人类工作、却不幸失明或残疾的大象的完美疗法)”和最后一段中“I feel happy to live with elephants and enjoy getting to know them. I feel it worthwhile to play piano music for them, especially if it brings comfort to those who have had stressful lives or live in darkness.(我很高兴与大象生活在一起并了解它们。我觉得为它们弹奏钢琴曲是值得的，特别是如果这能给那些生活压力大或生活在黑暗中的大象带来安慰)”可推知，Barton的个人项目的目的是为了让这些被虐待的大象平静下来。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Would they listen, or would it be dangerous?(它们会听吗，还是会有危险？)”可知，Barton在考虑给大象弹奏音乐会是什么情况，即他在“思考”。划线词contemplated与D项Thought about同义。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“An 80-year-old elephant, Ampan, who is almost totally blind, enjoys Beethoven’s slow ‘Moonlight Sonata’ movement. He will walk away if I play Schubert, rather than Beethoven, which it loves!(一头80岁的几乎完全失明的大象Ampan，喜欢贝多芬缓慢的《月光奏鸣曲》。如果我弹奏舒伯特而不是它喜欢的贝多芬，它就会走开！)”可知，Barton提到年老的大象Ampan是为了表明大象有自己喜欢的音乐。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“I feel happy to live with elephants and enjoy getting to know them. I feel it worthwhile to play piano music for them, especially if it brings comfort to those who have had stressful lives or live in darkness.(我很高兴和大象生活在一起，也很享受了解它们的过程。我觉得为它们弹奏钢琴音乐是值得的，尤其是如果这能给那些生活压力大或生活在黑暗中的大象带来安慰的话)”可知，Barton在最后一段想说这份工作给了他成就感。故选A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。 Outdoor exercise offers many choices like running, biking, hiking or other outdoor sports.

The weather was fine, with a gentle breeze (微风) and a clear blue sky overhead. We were having a great time in nature, looking at all the green plants and colorful flowers around us. As we climbed higher, we chatted about our plans for the future and shared laughter at our shared memories. Suddenly, we heard a weak sound coming from a nearby bush. Curious, we approached as quietly as a mouse and discovered a small bird with an injured wing. It was clear that the bird was in trouble, and we really wanted to help. However, every time we tried to approach the bird, it would fly away in fear, staying away from us. Deciding to save the little bird, my friend had an idea. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a small piece of fruit and bread that he had packed for our hike. Gently, he placed the foods near the bush, hoping they would get the bird to come closer. At first, the bird remained careful, its eyes darting (转动) between us and the foods. Slowly, hunger seemed to overcome its fear, and it hopped towards the foods, carefully pecking at (啄食) the foods. My friend and I stayed very still, not wanting to frighten it away again. 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。 After a few minutes, the bird seemed to realize that we were not a threat. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At home, we took good care of the bird. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After a few minutes, the bird seemed to realize that we were not a threat. It began to eat more freely, and we were able to get closer within arm’s reach. At this time, my friend caught the bird quickly. The bird struggled in the hand, trying to fly away. Gently, we examined its injury, and then we wrapped a soft cloth around the bird. We decided to give up walking forward and take the bird home. At home, we took good care of the bird. First, we cleaned the bird’s wound, and then we provided it with food and water. Over the next few days, the bird’s trust in us grew. It would allow us to touch its feathers and seemed to rely on our care. As the bird’s wing healed, we knew that eventually, we would have to release it back into the wild. On another fine day for hiking, we set the bird free at the same place where we saved it. We cherished the bond we had formed. Our mountain adventure was a journey of friendship and a reminder of the fine connection between humans and the natural world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者和朋友在爬山时发现了一只翅膀受伤的小鸟，用食物引诱它靠近，最终成功抓住了它，并决定带回家照顾直至其康复。经过几天的照料，小鸟与作者和朋友建立了信任关系。最后，在当初找到它的地方将其放归自然的故事。这次经历不仅加深了作者与大自然的情感联系，也体现了人与自然和谐共处的美好。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几分钟后，小鸟似乎意识到我们没有威胁。”可知，第一段可描写小鸟不再害怕，作者和朋友靠近并救助它的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“回到家后，我们悉心照料这只鸟。”可知，第二段可描写作者和朋友在家悉心照顾小鸟的情况。 2.续写线索：放松警惕——朋友抓小鸟—— 检查并包扎——回家细照料——伤愈放归林——人生感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：catch/ seize/ grab ②检查：examine/ check/ investigate ③照顾：take good care of/ look after/ care for 情绪类 ①信任：trust/ belief/ faith ②依赖：rely on/ depend on/ count on 【点睛】【高分句型1】On another fine day for hiking, we set the bird free at the same place where we saved it.

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. 1. Which solar term marks the start of a new farming cycle? A. Li Chun. B. Li Xia. C. Li Qiu. D. Li Dong. 2. 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. 3. 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 Growing up in India, Dr. George Varghese had no interest in computers. Instead, he spent much of his time playing sports. Varghese’s interest in networks and how they function grew out of his studies in electrical engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Bombay. A teacher returning from the University of California-Los Angeles fired his curiosity about the performance of the Internet. “It was very theoretical (理论的), but it did interest me to create something new,” Varghese says. Varghese’s work to improve the speed of networks, and thus the Internet itself, developed further during his first job. While at Digital Equipment Corporation, he watched three world-class products being built - the first bridge, the DECNIS router, and the Gigaswitch. He recognized the potential (潜力) in the interplay between hardware design and systems that he later developed into the textbook Network Algorithmics: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Designing Fast Networked Devices. The textbook is Varghese’s proudest professional achievement, because the general rules in the book have held up since its first printing almost 20 years ago. “I was shocked that the world had changed so much with cloud computing. Yet it seemed to me that the rules still held. I hope they keep holding for many years as network technologies keep changing,” Varghese says. As for his ongoing job to improve the Internet’s performance, Varghese was influenced by Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger’s book, The Juggling Act: Bringing Balance to Your Faith, Family, and Work. Gelsinger describes the Internet as a modern version (版本) of ancient Roman roads - both made business and the spread of ideas and culture faster. 4. What can we know about Varghese before he went to IIT? A. He was active. B. He was into computers. C. He was quiet. D. He was bored with sports. 5. Who fired Varghese’s interest in the Internet? A. A popular writer. B. A service engineer. C. A fitness coach. D. A college teacher. 6. What does Varghese’s work focus on? A. Finding jobs for students. B. Cutting the cost of networks. C. Speeding up the Internet. D. Testing out new computers. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Varghese’s dream. B. A network expert. C. Varghese’s daily life. D. A new textbook. C The Nature Conservancy (TNC) worked with Seychelles to make a plan that helps the country to pay almost $22 million of its debt (债务). In return, Seychelles, a group of 115 islands, agreed to protect some large areas of the sea. To protect the sea, Seychelles has made two large protected areas, called marine parks. Together, these marine parks are bigger than 80,000 square miles. In one of the parks, it will be against the law to take anything out. That means no fishing. In the other park, they will try to protect the sea by limiting fishing and other activities. Seychelles is famous for its beautiful oceans, which have many different kinds of species (物种). But the locals fished too much there. It is expected that protecting these areas will help fish and other ocean life. The most important businesses in Seychelles are fishing and tourism. This deal will protect about 15% of its ocean. If the plan succeeds, Seychelles will double that area in two years. TNC got wealthy people to give money to help pay off some of the debt that Seychelles owed. The actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, for example, gave $1 million. DiCaprio said, “The marine parks mean that all wildlife living in these waters are now far better protected from overfishing and climate change.” If the plan works it should make Seychelles a more beautiful place for tourists to visit. It will also mean that there are more fish available for people who fish for a living. But some local fishermen are worried that they will lose their way of making money. Other people are afraid that the Seychelles government will change their minds. 8. Why did Seychelles agree to work with TNC? A. To pay off its debt. B. To create national parks. C To market its fish. D. To protect the coastline. 9. What is a problem facing Seychelles? A. Its parks are small. B. Its hotels are expensive. C. Its sea is overfished. D. Its air is badly polluted. 10. What did DiCaprio think of the deal? A. It will put all sea life at risk. B. It will deliver a positive effect. C. It will bring about a big loss. D. It will improve the film industry. 11. What can we infer from the text? A. Tourists are unwilling to visit the country. B. The government changed the plan. C. The locals have to sell fish at a lower price. D. Not all fishermen support the plan. D When Barton’s wife started working at Elephant’s World which works to rescue badly treated elephants just outside Kanchanaburi in Thailand, Barton wondered what would happen if he were to play some slow classical music to these animals. For Barton’s 50th birthday, his wife convinced (说服) the management at Elephant’s World to allow them to bring a piano into the place. However, Barton’s personal project to play music to these elephants was not one he entered without a few doubts. As Barton recalls, the night before moving his instrument into the wilderness of the Elephant’s World, he wondered how the elephants would react to the music: “I contemplated what it would be like to play for the elephants. Would they listen, or would it be dangerous?” Moving a piano into nature is not easy. As Barton says, “Moving our piano from Bangkok to the wilderness of the mountains in Kanchanaburi was challenging, but we made it.” Now Barton is convinced that the universal language of music is a perfect treatment for elephants who have worked for humans all their lives, and have sadly ended up being blind or disabled. This pianist has carefully observed (观察) the reactions of the elephants to the type of music played. “Their breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy,” he says. “An 80-year-old elephant, Ampan, who is almost totally blind, enjoys Beethoven’s slow ‘Moonlight Sonata’ movement. He will walk away if I play Schubert, rather than Beethoven, which it loves!” This musician adds, “I feel happy to live with elephants and enjoy getting to know them. I feel it worthwhile to play piano music for them, especially if it brings comfort to those who have had stressful lives or live in darkness.” 12. What is the purpose of Barton’s personal project? A. To remind people to save more wildlife. B. To calm these badly treated elephants. C. To convince his wife to play the piano. D. To erase others’ doubts about his love. 13. What does the underlined word “contemplated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Gave up. B. Showed off. C. Suffered from. D. Thought about. 14. Why does Barton mention the aged elephant Ampan? A. To compare two great musicians from Europe. B. To discuss the hardship the elephant had faced. C. To show elephants have their own loved music. D. To explain why he prefers to play classical music. 15. What does Barton want to say in the last paragraph? A The work gives him a sense of achievement. B. He manages to get over the difficulties he met. C. Playing the piano in the wild makes little sense. D. Staying with wild elephants is quite stressful. 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。 Outdoor exercise offers many choices like running, biking, hiking or other outdoor sports.

The weather was fine, with a gentle breeze (微风) and a clear blue sky overhead. We were having a great time in nature, looking at all the green plants and colorful flowers around us. As we climbed higher, we chatted about our plans for the future and shared laughter at our shared memories. Suddenly, we heard a weak sound coming from a nearby bush. Curious, we approached as quietly as a mouse and discovered a small bird with an injured wing. It was clear that the bird was in trouble, and we really wanted to help. However, every time we tried to approach the bird, it would fly away in fear, staying away from us. Deciding to save the little bird, my friend had an idea. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a small piece of fruit and bread that he had packed for our hike. Gently, he placed the foods near the bush, hoping they would get the bird to come closer. At first, the bird remained careful, its eyes darting (转动) between us and the foods. Slowly, hunger seemed to overcome its fear, and it hopped towards the foods, carefully pecking at (啄食) the foods. My friend and I stayed very still, not wanting to frighten it away again. 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。 After a few minutes the bird seemed to realize that we were not a threat. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At home, we took good care of the bird. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
