Her parents could just make enough money to send their only daughter to school. The other students in the school were mostly from middle-class (中产阶级) families, and this made Annie feel upset.

Annie got married in the late 1960s. She became the mother of two sons. She began teaching French in a middle school.

And cats may be trying to tell us more with their faces than we thought before, according to a new study. In the study, two scientists from the University of California looked at almost 200 minutes of videos showing 53 cats’ life. The videos were taken by Lauren Scott, one of the researchers, between August 2021 and June 2022. Scott studied the videos with another researcher Brittany Florkiewicz by watching the cats’ facial movements and expressions. The researchers found that cats have about 26 special facial movements, while humans have about 44 facial movements. In cats, however, Scott and Florkiewicz found 276 different facial expressions. Each one was made up of about four different facial movements. They also said that 45% of them were friendly expressions and 37% were aggressive. The researchers said house cats are usually more sociable than wild ones. That’s because house cats may have gotten some facial expressions from humans in their 10,000-year history of living with us. For example, some friendly cats’ expressions, such as opening their mouths to smile, are similar to those made by humans, dogs and other animals. So cats may not be able to speak our language — but there’s a lot that can be said with almost 300 expressions! 18. How did the two scientists study cats’ facial expressions? A. By living with them. B. By playing with them. C. By taking pictures of them. D. By watching the videos of them. 19. How many facial movements do cats have according to the study? A. About 26. B. About 44. C. About 53. D. About 276 20. The underlined word “aggressive” in Paragraph 4 has the similar meaning to “______”. A. happy B. relaxed C. angry D. peaceful 21. Why are house cats more sociable than wild ones? A. Their life is similar to humans’. B. They learned a lot from humans. C. Their language has a history of 10,000 years. D. They have the same facial expressions as other animals. 22. What is the best title for the text? A. A Cat Can Tell Us More Than We Thought B. A Cat Can Live with Humans C. How to talk with a Cat D. Why a Cat Can Speak 【答案】18. D 19. A 20. C 21. B 22. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了一项新研究表明，猫有大约26种面部动作和276种不同的面部表情，通过面部表情向我们传递更多信息，家猫也因与人类共处的历史而比野猫更善于社交。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the study, two scientists from the University of California looked at almost 200 minutes of videos showing 53 cats’ life. The videos were taken by Lauren Scott, one of the researchers... Scott studied the videos with another researcher Brittany Florkiewicz by watching the cats’ facial movements and expressions.”可知，两位科学家是通过观看猫咪的视频来研究它们的面部表情的。故选D。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The researchers found that cats have about 26 special facial movements”可知，研究发现猫有大约26种特殊的面部动作。故选A。 【20题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“They also said that 45% of them were friendly expressions and 37% were aggressive.”可知，此处是对猫咪表情的分类，“friendly”与“aggressive”应为相反含义，“angry”符合语境。故选C。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The researchers said house cats are usually more sociable than wild ones. That’s because house cats may have gotten some facial expressions from humans in their 10,000-year history of living with us.”可知，家猫比野猫更善于社交是因为它们从人类身上学到了很多。故选B。 【22题详解】 最佳标题题。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现猫有近300种面部表情，比我们之前认为的能传递更多信息，“A Cat Can Tell Us More Than We Thought”能概括全文主旨，适合做标题。故选A。 第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后的A、B、C、D、E、F六个选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有一个多余选项。 Does talking in front of people make you shy?

It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed (钢骨的) umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰性工艺品). Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper (皮纸), bamboo, a coating of Tung oil (桐油). They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pasting papers (糊纸) and painting patterns. It takes at least a week to make per umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录) of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to take part in events in different places to promote (推广) the art. 46.

She has written more than 20 books and won many prizes. On September 1, 1940, Annie Ernaux was born into a working-class family in France. Her parents could just make enough money to send their only daughter to school. The other students in the school were mostly from middle-class (中产阶级) families, and this made Annie feel upset. When she grew up, Annie lived in London as a babysitter in the early 1960s. Later, she started a course in primary teacher training. She got a degree in literature. Annie got married in the late 1960s. She became the mother of two sons. She began teaching French in a middle school. The change from a working-class daughter to a married middle-class woman inspired (赋予灵感) her first work, Cleaned Out. Some of her books are about her memories which include her unhappy childhood, her troubled marriage, her mother’s death, and her experience with cancer (癌症). In the book Cleaned Out, she describes how her change makes it difficult to communicate with her parents. The Years tells stories about her life from 1941 to 2006. A Man’s Place is about her father.

Sometimes, they stopped to look at their classmates’ Chinese words. Then they will share their opinions and experiences with Chinese classmates and sometimes ask the teacher for help. This was a Chinese culture class at a college in China last month. The class mainly shows Chinese culture through calligraphy(书法), opera and tea art, which are very popular with foreign students. Since 2010, over 200 students from Russia have come to this college. The leader of the college said, “These students are now mainly working in China, Russia and Mongolia. They are playing a big part in the building of the three countries. As a result, they need to learn Chinese well first to work better.” A teacher in this college says the students from different countries can understand each other better through learning language and sharing culture. Russian student Lukin says the college is close to his country. His parents often come to see him at weekends. For him, the lessons are rich and interesting. Chinese students are very friendly.

And cats may be trying to tell us more with their faces than we thought before, according to a new study. In the study, two scientists from the University of California looked at almost 200 minutes of videos showing 53 cats’ life. The videos were taken by Lauren Scott, one of the researchers, between August 2021 and June 2022. Scott studied the videos with another researcher Brittany Florkiewicz by watching the cats’ facial movements and expressions. The researchers found that cats have about 26 special facial movements, while humans have about 44 facial movements. In cats however, Scott and Florkiewicz found 276 different facial expressions. Each one was made up of about four different facial movements. They also said that 45% of them were friendly expressions and 37% were aggressive. The researchers said house cats are usually more sociable than wild ones. That’s because house cats may have gotten some facial expressions from humans in their 10,000-year history of living with us. For example, some friendly cats’ expressions, such as opening their mouths to smile, are similar to those made by humans, dogs and other animals. So cats may not be able to speak our language — but there’s a lot that can be said with almost 300 expressions! 18. How did the two scientists study cats’ facial expressions? A. By living with them. B. By playing with them. C. By taking pictures of them. D. By watching the videos of them. 19. How many facial movements do cats have according to the study? A. About 26. B. About 44. C. About 53. D. About 276 20 The underlined word “aggressive” in Paragraph 4 has the similar meaning to “______”. A. happy B. relaxed C. angry D. peaceful 21. Why are house cats more sociable than wild ones? A. Their life is similar to humans’. B. They learned a lot from humans. C. Their language has a history of 10,000 years. D. They have the same facial expressions as other animals. 22. What is the best title for the text? A. A Cat Can Tell Us More Than We Thought B. A Cat Can Live with Humans C. How to talk with a Cat D. Why a Cat Can Speak 第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后的A、B、C、D、E、F六个选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有一个多余选项。 Does talking in front of people make you shy? If so, you are not alone.

It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed (钢骨的) umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰性工艺品).
