Ⅰ.阅读理解
The human tendency to gravitate towards people that are similar to them starts early.In schoolage children, the behavior called homophily, or “love of the same” often has to do with how others dress or act.Adults tend to form groups based on professions or personalities.However, forming cliques (小集团) and shutting out those who are “different” is not just a human characteristic.South Africa's Cape baboons (狒狒) show similar tendencies too!
A team of researchers followed the same two troops of baboons for several months.What they noticed was that like humans, baboons rarely left their original groups.To prove if their observations were correct, the researchers conducted an experiment.
They began by placing some foods that the baboons had never seen before on the edge of paths the animals frequently crossed.The researchers recorded the time it took a baboon to get close enough to examine the new foods and the time for ones that had the courage to taste them.Sure enough, the most curious and daring baboons all belonged to the same group.What did surprise the scientists was that the baboons with similar personalities hung out together, regardless of whether they were male or female.
The researchers say this behavior is not a good sign for the animals, because the daring and curious baboons are also good problem solvers.The scientists worry that if the baboons share new problemsolving skills with only their group, it leaves the rest of the species vulnerable to any environmental changes or enemies.
Unfortunately, baboons are not the only animals that form cliques.In another study, the scientists divided 80 fish into two groups.After about three weeks,the fish were rearranged into smaller groups of ten.The researchers observed that many of the fish that had spent time together in the original two groups seemed to seek each other out.What was even more interesting is that once they regrouped,they were able to find the hidden food much faster.This led the researchers to think that like humans, the fish tended to share their secrets with their best “friends”.
1.What can be used to replace the underlined word “gravitate” in Paragraph 1?
A.Lose respect.
B.Feel attracted.
C.Move smoothly.
D.Behave naturally.
2.What did the experiment on baboons show?
A.Baboons associate with similar others.
B.Male baboons tend to be in the same group.
C.Cautious baboons are good at finding new foods.
D.Female baboons are usually braver than male baboons.
3.Why is the experiment on fish mentioned?
A.To show they are different from baboons.
B.To introduce humanlike behavior in fish.
C.To prove other animals form groups as well.
D.To explain how they get on with each other.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。科学家研究证明“物以类聚,人以群分”并非虚妄之词,不仅人类容易被同类人吸引,很多动物亦是如此。
1.B [词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“love of the same” 同质相吸原则。和“forming cliques and shutting out those who are “different” is not just a human characteristic(拉帮结派、排斥异己,这不仅仅是人类的特点)”。可知,人往往容易被与自己相似的人吸引并形成小集团,故画线词在此处意为“被吸引”。故选B项。]
2.A [细节理解题。根据第三段中的What did surprise the scientists was that the baboons with similar personalities hung out together, regardless of whether they were male or female.可知,让科学家们感到惊讶的是,性格相似的狒狒无论雌雄都会形成自己的小集团。故选A项。]
3.C [推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Unfortunately, baboons are not the only animals that form cliques.(不幸的是,狒狒并不是唯一会结党的动物。)” 由此判断出下文提到的鱼的实验正是为了证实其他动物也会形成自己的小集团。故选C项。]

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者经历了一场可怕的自然灾害并活了下来。
1.really [考查词性转换。空格后是形容词loud,应用副词来修饰,故填really。]
2.rushed [考查动词的时态。由本句中的was可知时态应用一般过去时。故填rushed。]
3.to escape [考查非谓语动词。try to do ...意为“尽力/试图做……”。故用to escape。]
4.times [考查名词的单复数。time在此处表示“次数”,是可数名词,其前有several修饰,故应用其复数形式。]
5.Holding [考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,hold与主句主语I之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。]
6.thirsty [考查词性转换。空格前的hungry为形容词,and连接并列成分,所以空格处也应用形容词,thirst的形容词形式是thirsty。]
7.on [考查介词。wash up sth.on ...“把某物冲到……上”。故用介词on。]
8.myself [考查代词。by oneself为固定短语,意为“单独,独自”,故用反身代词myself。]
9.and [考查连词。空格处连接并列谓语,应用and。]
10.where [考查定语从句。空格处引导定语从句,修饰先行词Fakinah Hospital,关系词在从句中作地点状语,故用where。]

[参考范文]
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm honoured to be here to give a speech on the World Environment Day.I feel lucky to witness the great annual events celebrated worldwide by the people aiming to protect the unique and life-nurturing nature.
It's shocking to see that our environment has been damaged seriously with the development of industry.At the same time, many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment where they are living has changed greatly.
I really hope that more people from different societies and communities can participate in the activity to take practical environmental safety measures.
Thank you for listening.
