Apes (猿) also have their own special signs to show what they mean. According to a new study, humans can understand the signs of apes. Chimpanzees are a kind of apes that are closest to humans. They use about 80 different signs to show what they mean. Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St Andrews wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the signs of chimpanzees. They created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a sign. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the sign out of four possible answers. The scientists were surprised to find that for some of the signs, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. One example of this was the sign of “wiping (擦) the mouth” meaning “give me that food”. The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the signs of apes. But it’s not clear why. They need to study how humans are able to understand the signs of apes. 26. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Apes’ sign language is the same as humans’. B. Apes can understand humans’ gestures. C. Chimpanzees can make about 80 signs. D. Chimpanzees can communicate with humans. 27. Why did Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter create an online game? A. To help people spend their free time in an interesting way. B. To attract people to play games and then make enough money. C. To study the differences between the signs of humans and apes. D. To test if humans with no training can understand apes’ signs. 28. What can we learn about the game? A. Both humans and apes could play the game. B. The game was a little difficult for young people. C. There were four choices to choose from for each sign. D. Scientists were surprised that people could not choose the right answer most of the time. 29. What sign will apes make when they want to ask for some food? A. They will wipe their mouths. B. They will nod at other apes. C. They will point at the food. D. They will make a big loud noise. 30. What is the passage mainly about? A. Apes’ special sign language. B. Humans’ understanding of apes’ signs. C. A kind of animal that is closest to humans. D.

Space scientists have been greatly inspired by the old stories and famous ancient people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e I. More interestingly, the moon rover (天体登陆车) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story, which shows how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kua Fu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from famous ancient people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 31. What does the underlined “them” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Space scientists. B. Ancient people. C Satellites and spaceships. D. Old stories. 32. What do we know about Chang’e Ⅰ according to the passage? A. It is the world’s first man-made satellite. B. It protects the Jade Rabbit. C. It “visits” the sun with the scientists. D. It moves around the moon. 33. How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 4? A. By giving an example. B. By comparing facts. C. By listing numbers. D. By reporting a result. 34. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Giving names is very easy. B. Our technology is developing fast. C. We are spreading Chinese culture to the world. D. Our traditional culture influences our space science. 35. Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1) A. B. C. D. 【答案】31. C 32. D 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了嫦娥一号、 “玉兔号”月球车、 “墨子号”空间量子科学实验卫星与中国传统文化之间的渊源，表明了传统文化对我国太空技术的深远影响。 【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites and spaceships into space.

It is 0.6 meters wide, has a wingspan (翼展) of 4.4 meters and weighs about 40 kilos. Li just finished his high-school entrance exam a year ago and got good grades. After the exam, he threw himself into the work of making the model plane at once. Li has been interested in model planes since he was a child. And he has been studying and building model planes for years. This time, the model plane is the largest he has ever built, and he considers it the most successful one. During the process of building the plane, he failed many times. “But the biggest difficulty I had was that the adults couldn’t understand me well,” Li said. “When I said I was going to build a model plane, a lot of adults thought it was impossible. But I decided to keep on working hard. That is because once I start something, giving up is not a choice for me.” 21. How does the writer begin the text? A. By showing a saying. B.

B From pointing to nodding, humans use signs to help communicate when talking to each other. Apes (猿) also have their own special signs to show what they mean. According to a new study, humans can understand the signs of apes. Chimpanzees are a kind of apes that are closest to humans. They use about 80 different signs to show what they mean. Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St Andrews wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the signs of chimpanzees They created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a sign. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the sign out of four possible answers. The scientists were surprised to find that for some of the signs, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. One example of this was the sign of “wiping (擦) the mouth” meaning “give me that food”. The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the signs of apes. But it’s not clear why. They need to study how humans are able to understand the signs of apes. 26. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Apes’ sign language is the same as humans’. B. Apes can understand humans’ gestures. C. Chimpanzees can make about 80 signs. D. Chimpanzees can communicate with humans. 27. Why did Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter create an online game? A. To help people spend their free time in an interesting way. B. To attract people to play games and then make enough money. C. To study the differences between the signs of humans and apes. D. To test if humans with no training can understand apes’ signs. 28. What can we learn about the game? A. Both humans and apes could play the game. B. The game was a little difficult for young people. C. There were four choices to choose from for each sign. D. Scientists were surprised that people could not choose the right answer most of the time. 29. What sign will apes make when they want to ask for some food? A They will wipe their mouths. B. They will nod at other apes. C. They will point at the food. D. They will make a big loud noise. 30. What is the passage mainly about? A. Apes’ special sign language. B. Humans’ understanding of apes’ signs. C. A kind of animal that is closest to humans. D. Different sign languages between apes and humans. C So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired by the old stories and famous ancient people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e I. More interestingly, the moon rover (天体登陆车) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story, which shows how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kua Fu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from famous ancient people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 31. What does the underlined “them” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Space scientists. B. Ancient people. C. Satellites and spaceships. D. Old stories. 32. What do we know about Chang’e Ⅰ according to the passage? A. It is the world’s first man-made satellite. B. It protects the Jade Rabbit. C. It “visits” the sun with the scientists. D. It moves around the moon. 33. How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 4? A. By giving an example. B. By comparing facts. C. By listing numbers. D. By reporting a result. 34. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Giving names is very easy. B. Our technology is developing fast. C. We are spreading Chinese culture to the world. D. Our traditional culture influences our space science. 35. Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1) A. B. C. D. 第二节 短文填空。（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，并从六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文意思完整、连贯，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。 Fashion: More Than Just Clothes Fashion is an important part of our lives.
