They hunt when it’s dark. Most of us go for our work and study in the daytime. We almost never see owls, but many of us like these night birds very much. Our love for owls has a long history, and it’s in all cultures. No matter how far you go back, there is always some type of artwork or story that includes an owl. These days, we can find owls on company logos, in children’s books, etc. So what makes owls so popular? Some bird researchers believe owls’ popularity lies largely in their “cool” looks. In order to see clearly in the dark, owls have evolved (进化) to have large eyes. Unlike human eyes, their eyes are cylindrical (圆筒状的). So owls cannot roll (翻转) their eyes. Their heads have to do most of the rolling-around work. It’s also for this reason that owls can turn their heads almost around on their necks. Owls also use sound to hunt. Their ears are lopsided (不平衡)—the left ear is a little higher than the right ear. A noise goes in one ear before it arrives in the other. This helps owls tell which direction a sound is coming from. To make their sense of hearing even better, the owl’s whole face acts like a satellite dish (圆盘式卫星接收器) for sound waves. Their beaks (鸟喙) are very small so that they won’t get in the way. Thanks to such unusual looks and abilities, owls became known as strange and wonderful animals. For a long time, people made up lots of myths (神话) about them. Some have described owls as the goddess of wisdom. Some say owls are witches (女巫) in disguise (伪装). These stories have made more people become interested in owls and made them become more popular! 22．According to Paragraph 2, owls cannot roll their eyes because ________. A．their eyes are too large B．their heads are too big C．their necks are too short D．their eyes are cylindrical 23．According to Paragraph 3, where are owl’s ears usually located (位于)? A．①② B．③④ C．①④ D．②③ 24．Which of the following is NOT the reason that owls have a good sense of hearing? A．Their ears are lopsided. B．Their beaks are very small. C．Their faces are like satellite dishes. D．They turn their heads almost around on their necks. 25．What’s the passage mainly about? A．It tells us some information about owls’ look. B．It tells us why owls are so popular. C．It tells us some myths about owls. D．It tells us the special abilities of owls. 【答案】22．D 23．C 24．D 25．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要解释了猫头鹰广受欢迎的原因，包括其独特的外貌、听觉能力以及文化中的神话传说。 22．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unlike human eyes, their eyes are cylindrical (圆筒状的). So owls cannot roll (翻转) their eyes.”可知，猫头鹰不能转动眼睛，是因为它们的眼睛是圆筒状的。故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Their ears are lopsided (不平衡)—the left ear is a little higher than the right ear.”可知，猫头鹰左边的耳朵比右边的要略高一些。故选C。 24．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Their ears are lopsided (不平衡)...the owl’s whole face acts like a satellite dish (圆盘式卫星接收器) for sound waves. Their beaks (鸟喙) are very small so that they won’t get in the way.”可知，它们的听力很好，主要有三个原因：它们的耳朵不平衡，脸像圆盘式卫星接收器以及鸟喙很小。故选D。 25．主旨大意题。全文围绕“猫头鹰为何受欢迎”展开，依次说明其外貌（第2段）、听觉能力（第3段）及文化影响（第4段）。故选B。 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are some learning skills for students to follow in class, which means you’re going to have to practice.

The governments (政府) want students and teachers to do more outdoor activities. Before, Chinese schools usually had 10-minute breaks. But it was not enough time for students, especially those in tall buildings, to go outside and play. Sometimes, schools didn’t let students leave the classroom during breaks because they were worried about safety. Now, local education departments (部门) are trying to make school schedules better. They want students to have at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. In Beijing, primary schools’ morning and afternoon times haven’t changed. Middle schools end five minutes later. In Wuxi, Jiangsu, schools have 15-minute breaks and one PE class every day. Students must do at least 100 minutes of exercise at school. The education officer said this helps students play outside and talk to each other. They want to give break time back to students. A Qingdao primary school has many outdoor games like jump rope and hula hoop, and indoor puzzles during 15-minute breaks. In May, a fitness test showed that 47 percent of Qingdao students got “excellent” or “good” fitness grades, 10 percent more than before. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 54．Who do the governments want to do more outdoor activities? 55．How long do students in Wuxi, Jiangsu need to exercise at school? 56．What outdoor games in a Qingdao primary school do you like best? Why? 【答案】54．Students and teachers. 55．At least 100 minutes. 56．I like jump rope best.

Students must do at least 100 minutes of exercise at school.”可知，江苏无锡的学生在学校至少要锻炼100分钟，故填At least 100 minutes. 56．根据“A Qingdao primary school has many outdoor games like jump rope and hula hoop, and indoor puzzles during 15-minute breaks.”可知，青岛一所小学提到的户外活动有跳绳和转呼拉圈，可以选择其中一种。故填I like jump rope best.

Who would have thought that cultural consumption (文化消费) in China could become as easy as ordering a sandwich? Yet, it is now happening at the Chengdu Library. The “Loving to Read at Home” program (程序) allows readers to log on (登录) to a mini program of the same name. Readers can then choose their favorite books and wait for them to be delivered to their home by EMS for just 6 yuan for one to three books. Each user can borrow up to eight books at a time for 30 days. The program covers the whole city. More than 20,000 books from 22 public libraries in Chengdu are ready for loan. So far, more than 300 books have been sent out to readers. “The library’s new O2O (online to offline) path reduces (减少) the time cost for readers and allows them to realize that cultural consumption in China is a convenient part of people’s everyday lives,” expert Xu Shuming said, “Providing such a service for readers is an important part of reaching China’s goal of encouraging (鼓励) reading nationwide.” The expert also added, “O2O book delivery services are successful in China since the country has strong delivery service and e-commerce (电子商务) industries.” The Chengdu Library is not the only library providing books-to-go services. “Flying book home” is a similar program run by the Zhuzhou Library in Hunan Province. In Beijing, a similar service is also provided by the Chaoyang District Library. To date, there have been more than 3,300 public libraries and more than 100,000 physical bookshops across the country. Chinese people’s interest in reading has been growing. The comprehensive reading rate (综合阅读率) in 2012 was 76.3％, but grew to 81.8％ in 2022. “Reading has become an important part of promoting (促进) public education and increasing people’s confidence in Chinese culture and tradition,” said Xu. 14．Why does the writer mention ordering a sandwich in Paragraph 1?

Then Tom saw a small opening he had never seen before. He decided to explore. Becky came with him. They made some marks on the wall. This would help them find their way back. They found a large cave with a spring in it. There were a lot of bats hanging on the roof. The bats did not like the candlelight and attacked the children. Tom and Becky ran. They did not watch where they were going. They escaped from the bats and found a lake. They sat down to rest. “We haven’t heard the other children for a long time,” said Becky. “We’d better go back,” suggested Tom. They tried to find a way back without going through the cave with bats. However, they didn’t know how to get back. They began to shout. Nobody answered. Becky began to cry. “Tom, Tom, we can never get out! We should not have left the others!” Tom tried to make her feel better. They walked around for a while. Then they found a spring and stayed there. Tom had some cake from the picnic in his pocket, and he gave it to Becky. He ate a small piece himself. They shouted again and sat down to wait. They fell asleep. They woke up. They drank water.

We almost never see owls, but many of us like these night birds very much. Our love for owls has a long history, and it’s in all cultures. No matter how far you go back, there is always some type of artwork or story that includes an owl. These days, we can find owls on company logos, in children’s books, etc. So what makes owls so popular? Some bird researchers believe owls’ popularity lies largely in their “cool” looks. In order to see clearly in the dark, owls have evolved (进化) to have large eyes. Unlike human eyes, their eyes are cylindrical (圆筒状的). So owls cannot roll (翻转) their eyes. Their heads have to do most of the rolling-around work. It’s also for this reason that owls can turn their heads almost around on their necks. Owls also use sound to hunt. Their ears are lopsided (不平衡)—the left ear is a little higher than the right ear. A noise goes in one ear before it arrives in the other. This helps owls tell which direction a sound is coming from. To make their sense of hearing even better, the owl’s whole face acts like a satellite dish (圆盘式卫星接收器) for sound waves. Their beaks (鸟喙) are very small so that they won’t get in the way. Thanks to such unusual looks and abilities, owls became known as strange and wonderful animals. For a long time, people made up lots of myths (神话) about them. Some have described owls as the goddess of wisdom. Some say owls are witches (女巫) in disguise (伪装). These stories have made more people become interested in owls and made them become more popular! 22．According to Paragraph 2, owls cannot roll their eyes because ________. A．their eyes are too large B．their heads are too big C．their necks are too short D．their eyes are cylindrical 23．According to Paragraph 3, where are owl’s ears usually located (位于)? A．①② B．③④ C．①④ D．②③ 24．Which of the following is NOT the reason that owls have a good sense of hearing? A．Their ears are lopsided. B．Their beaks are very small. C．Their faces are like satellite dishes. D．They turn their heads almost around on their necks. 25．What’s the passage mainly about? A．It tells us some information about owls’ look. B．It tells us why owls are so popular. C．It tells us some myths about owls. D．It tells us the special abilities of owls. 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are some learning skills for students to follow in class, which means you’re going to have to practice.

Who would have thought that cultural consumption (文化消费) in China could become as easy as ordering a sandwich? Yet, it is now happening at the Chengdu Library. The “Loving to Read at Home” program (程序) allows readers to log on (登录) to a mini program of the same name. Readers can then choose their favorite books and wait for them to be delivered to their home by EMS for just 6 yuan for one to three books. Each user can borrow up to eight books at a time for 30 days. The program covers the whole city. More than 20,000 books from 22 public libraries in Chengdu are ready for loan. So far, more than 300 books have been sent out to readers. “The library’s new O2O (online to offline) path reduces (减少) the time cost for readers and allows them to realize that cultural consumption in China is a convenient part of people’s everyday lives,” expert Xu Shuming said, “Providing such a service for readers is an important part of reaching China’s goal of encouraging (鼓励) reading nationwide.” The expert also added, “O2O book delivery services are successful in China since the country has strong delivery service and e-commerce (电子商务) industries.” The Chengdu Library is not the only library providing books-to-go services. “Flying book home” is a similar program run by the Zhuzhou Library in Hunan Province. In Beijing, a similar service is also provided by the Chaoyang District Library. To date, there have been more than 3,300 public libraries and more than 100,000 physical bookshops across the country.

We almost never see owls, but many of us like these night birds very much. Our love for owls has a long history, and it’s in all cultures. No matter how far you go back, there is always some type of artwork or story that includes an owl. These days, we can find owls on company logos, in children’s books, etc. So what makes owls so popular? Some bird researchers believe owls’ popularity lies largely in their “cool” looks. In order to see clearly in the dark, owls have evolved (进化) to have large eyes. Unlike human eyes, their eyes are cylindrical (圆筒状的). So owls cannot roll (翻转) their eyes. Their heads have to do most of the rolling-around work. It’s also for this reason that owls can turn their heads almost around on their necks. Owls also use sound to hunt. Their ears are lopsided (不平衡)—the left ear is a little higher than the right ear. A noise goes in one ear before it arrives in the other. This helps owls tell which direction a sound is coming from. To make their sense of hearing even better, the owl’s whole face acts like a satellite dish (圆盘式卫星接收器) for sound waves. Their beaks (鸟喙) are very small so that they won’t get in the way. Thanks to such unusual looks and abilities, owls became known as strange and wonderful animals. For a long time, people made up lots of myths (神话) about them. Some have described owls as the goddess of wisdom. Some say owls are witches (女巫) in disguise (伪装). These stories have made more people become interested in owls and made them become more popular! 22．According to Paragraph 2, owls cannot roll their eyes because ________. A．their eyes are too large B．their heads are too big C．their necks are too short D．their eyes are cylindrical 23．According to Paragraph 3, where are owl’s ears usually located (位于)? A．①② B．③④ C．①④ D．②③ 24．Which of the following is NOT the reason that owls have a good sense of hearing? A．Their ears are lopsided. B．Their beaks are very small. C．Their faces are like satellite dishes. D．They turn their heads almost around on their necks. 25．What’s the passage mainly about? A．It tells us some information about owls’ look. B．It tells us why owls are so popular. C．It tells us some myths about owls. D．It tells us the special abilities of owls. 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are some learning skills for students to follow in class, which means you’re going to have to practice.

The governments (政府) want students and teachers to do more outdoor activities. Before, Chinese schools usually had 10-minute breaks. But it was not enough time for students, especially those in tall buildings, to go outside and play. Sometimes, schools didn’t let students leave the classroom during breaks because they were worried about safety. Now, local education departments (部门) are trying to make school schedules better. They want students to have at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. In Beijing, primary schools’ morning and afternoon times haven’t changed. Middle schools end five minutes later. In Wuxi, Jiangsu, schools have 15-minute breaks and one PE class every day. Students must do at least 100 minutes of exercise at school. The education officer said this helps students play outside and talk to each other. They want to give break time back to students. A Qingdao primary school has many outdoor games like jump rope and hula hoop, and indoor puzzles during 15-minute breaks. In May, a fitness test showed that 47 percent of Qingdao students got “excellent” or “good” fitness grades, 10 percent more than before. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 54．Who do the governments want to do more outdoor activities? 55．How long do students in Wuxi, Jiangsu need to exercise at school? 56．What outdoor games in a Qingdao primary school do you like best?
