三、阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
A
There are many colours in nature. But do you know if a colour has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That’s to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and the order is the same. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长). It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill.
26.In people’s mind, different colours have different weight. Orange is heavier than ________.
A.blue B.red C.yellow D.green
27.The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ________.
A.a red box is heavier than a white one
B.a colour has weight in one’s mind
C.white paper is lighter than red paper
D.you can know the weight of a colour by holding it
28.Why did the scientist say colours have smell?
A.Because people can sense the light from colours.
B.Because we can smell colours with our nose.
C.Because every colour has its own sweet smell.
D.Because every colour can give off light of the same length.

①Have you heard of “helicopter (直升机) parents”? If parents pay too much attention to their children, then they are. “Helicopter parents” are always working hard to provide children with every chance (机会) to succeed, from baby steps at age 1, homework at age 8, jobs at age 25 to family problems at age 30,40 or even older.
②Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons. Worries about children’s future success can push parents to take more control over their children’s life. Adults who felt unloved as children may want to give as much love as they can to their own children. And when parents see others doing so, they will also follow.
③Although it develops with the idea of doing good things, yet the result isn’t always satisfying. Mary is taken to five after-school classes each week, but she doesn’t do well in any of them. “I feel like I am just checking off things on the list,” she says.
④Worse still, overparenting can do the exact opposite. A child raised in this way may feel helpless when he has to do things on his own. “________,” an expert said, “and if parents don’t let their children experience failure themselves, the children won’t get them.”
⑤Since helicopter parenting does such great harm, does it mean parents should just back off and let it go? Of course not! “The point is to prepare the kid for the road but not the road for the kid,” another expert said. “Teach them what is right, provide them with good environment and develop their good habits, but you have to let them live their own lives.”
29.Which of the following sentences can be put in ________ in the passage?
A.Don’t be a helicopter parent
B.It’s a parent’s job to support the children
C.Making decisions, solving problems and taking risks are key life skills
D.Parents try their best to make sure their children never meet with failure
30.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 5?
A.Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B.A thousand miles begins with a single step.
C.All things are difficult before they are easy.
D.Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
31.Which best shows the structure (结构) of the text?
A. B.
C. D.
C
An old saying used for forecasting (预测) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming.
Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming.
If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure (压力) usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers— their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day!
32.What is the old saying about?
A.The beauty of sunrise. B.The night sky.
C.The signs of the weather. D.The sailors’work.
33.What does the underlined word “meteorologists” mean?
A.The persons who give daily weather reports on TV.
B.The persons who carry out research on natural history.
C.The persons who take an interest in plants and animals.
D.The persons who do scientific studies of weather conditions.
34.What do we know from the last paragraph?
A.It’ll be sunny if ants move to higher places.
B.The smells of flowers are stronger in wet air.
C.Birds fly higher because of the low air pressure.
D.It’ll rain if rainbows form in the west at sunrise.
35.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To encourage people to get close to nature.
B.To express the need for weather forecasting.
C.To explain nature can tell us about the weather.
D.To discuss how important weather forecasting is.
D
Technology usually distracts us from nature. But now technology is “offering us an opportunity to listen to non-humans in powerful ways, reviving our connection to the natural world,” wrote Professor Karen Bakker in her new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants.
All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound, a sound frequency far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect.
After the sounds are recorded, AI is then able to determine their meaning, according to the news website Vox. There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances. Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into “a zoological version of Google Translate”.
One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant. She explained how elephants “have a different signal for honeybee, which is a threat, and a different signal for human,” in an interview with Vox. “Moreover, they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,” she said.
This technology can not only understand the animals, but also communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate to their peers to go in search of nectar (花蜜). A research team in Germany, therefore, plugged (插入) the bee language AI database system into a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move, Vox reported. Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes, with there being many examples of chimpanzees having been taught sign language to communicate with humans. This new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.
36.What is the purpose of the quotation (引用) in Para 1?
A.To recommend a new book about the benefits of using digital technology.
B.To show the importance of using AI technology in socializing with animals.
C.To complain about the distraction digital technology brings to humans.
D.To introduce the topic and encourage the readers to read on for further information.
37.What do we know about coral?
A.They communicate through infrasound.
B.Their sounds are within our range of hearing.
C.They have no ears and cannot pick up sound.
D.Sound waves help baby coral choose their home.
38.Which of the following animals have different signals for different purposes?
A.Coral. B.Whales. C.Elephants. D.Honeybees.
39.Why did researchers create the robot bee?
A.To collect more bee dances. B.To show direction to bees.
C.To learn the language of bees. D.To help bees search for their friends.
40.What’s the writer’s attitude toward the application (应用) of the new technology?
A.positive B.negative C.critical (批评的) D.doubtful

It was about aerospace engineering. I decided that I wanted to become an aerospace engineer. In high school, I studied reverse thrust. Thrust is a pushing force (力). It moves airplanes forward. Engines (引擎) create thrust to push a lot of air backward. This causes the plane to move forward. Reverse thrust is a system. It is used in planes. It changes the direction that the air is pushed from the engine.
Question three: How did you come to work at Boeing, and what do you do there now?
Fletcher: I worked as an intern (实习生) at Boeing. Later, the company offered me a job. Today, I work on Space Launch System. I design some of its parts. The rocket is being built and tested now. It will be the largest rocket ever created. Its goal is to send people to Mars.
Question four: What challenges do you face at work and what have you done with them?
Fletcher: I’m 25, African American and female. Most of the people I work with are older males. This has been a challenge. People may have unfair or negative (消极的) beliefs about me.

Question five: What advice do you have for students who might be interested in a career like yours?
Fletcher: Do your research! Also, keep an open mind. There are so many choices out there in science, technology, engineering and maths. Try them all out. Keep trying new subjects until you find what you love. Do not limit yourself! You are capable (能干的) of more, you can do more, and you can be more.
Dream jobs: Rocket Designer
Humans have never been sent to Mars 56 scientists have dreamed of it for a long time. NASA is now building a rocket called Space Launch System with the help of Boeing which builds airplanes and spaceships.
What was Fletcher’s life like growing up?
She was made to work out how much things 57 when her mom took her to the store. Then be showed a great interest in maths. She dreamed of being a mathematician, an inventor and a scientist.

选择题 (共40分)
一、单项填空 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
1. —What do you think of __________ idea of taking part in “Earth Hour”?
—Wonderful! I’ve never heard of __________ one! We can reduce pollution in this way.
A.an; the better B.the; a better
C.an; a better D.the; the best
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——你认为参加“地球一小时”的这个主意怎么样?——太棒了!我从来没听过比这更好的办法了!我们可以通过这种方式减少污染。
考查冠词及比较级的用法。根据“taking part in ‘Earth Hour’”可知,此处表示特指的这个活动,用定冠词the;根据“I’ve never heard of…one”的语境可知,此处强调比较,即这个想法非常好,之前没有比它更好的。故选B。
2.—I’m a little hungry, Mum.
—There are some cookies on the plate. You can take ________.
A.it B.one C.that D.this
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——妈妈,我有点饿了。——盘子里有一些饼干。你可以拿一个。
考查代词辨析。it它,用于特指单数事物; one一个,用于指代同类事物中的一个;that那个,用于指代较远或特定事物;this这个,用于指代较近事物。根据“There are some cookies on the plate. You can take...”可知,此处表示孩子可以拿取任意一个饼干,非特指,因此one符合语境。故选B。
3.—When shall we go to our school trip? —____________.
A.Not until next week B.Till next week
C.For next week. D.Nearly a week
【答案】A
【详解】句意:——我们学校什么时候去郊游?——直到下周才去。
考查特殊疑问句。Not until next week直到下周才去;Till next week到下周;For next week接下来的一周;Nearly a week接近一周。When询问的是一个时间点,其他选项指一段时间。故选A。
4.---What else should we pay attention to _______ our life?
---The change of our moods, I think.
A.improve B.improved C.to improve D.improving
【答案】C
【详解】句意:--我们该注意一些什么其他的来改善我们的生活。--我认为是我们心情的变化。考查非谓语动词。此句pay attention to的宾语是what else,后面用不定式做目的状语。故选C。
5.—Draw a mind map of the information you get when you have class. ________, you’re sure to forget some easily.
—That’s a good idea. Thanks for your advice!
A.Anyway B.Therefore C.Otherwise D.However
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——画一张你上课时得到的信息的思维导图。否则,你肯定会很容易忘记一些。——这是个好主意。谢谢你的建议!
考查副词辨析。Anyway不管怎样;Therefore因此;Otherwise否则;However然而。分析“Draw a mind map of the information you get when you have class...you’re sure to forget some easily.”可知,前句为建议,后句为不采纳建议的负面结果,所以空处需用表示“否则”的连接副词。故选C。
6.—Can I come here on Saturday or Sunday?
—Sorry, you can come _____ on Saturday _____ Sunday. We only work on weekdays.
A.either; or B.both; and
C.neither; nor D.not only; but also
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——我能在周六或周日来这吗?——对不起,星期六和星期日你都不能来,我们仅仅在工作日工作。
考查连词辨析。both...and...两者都;either...or...或者……或者……;neither...nor...两者都不;not only...but also...不但……而且。根据“We only work on weekdays.”可知周六和周日不上班,不用来,故选C。
7.The song is wonderful and can cheer us up, I think it is worth ________.
A.listening B.being listened to C.listening to D.being listened
【答案】C
【详解】句意:这首歌很棒,可以让我们振作起来,我认为值得一听。
考查固定搭配。根据“be worth doing sth.”是一种主动形式表示被动含义的结构,以及“listen to music”可知,listening to符合句意。故选C。
8.We decide to make a rule for us to turn off the lights at 10:30 p. m.
A.that B.this C.it D.one
【答案】C
【详解】句意:我们决定制定一个规章制度,晚上10点半关灯。A. that 用作指示代词时,其指代意义同形容词,也可以用作定语从句的先行词,还可以为了避免重复,代替前面的名词; B. this 这个; C. it在这里做形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式to turn off the lights at 10:30 p. m; D. one一个,通常指前文提到的那个;make it a rule to do sth做某事定一个准则;故选C
9.That is an important bridge __________ this old town _______ Nanjing.
A.connect, to B.connect, with
C.to connect, with D.connecting, to
【答案】D
【详解】句意:那是一座重要的桥联接着这座老城与南京。
考查非谓语动词和动词短语。connect to连接到;connect with连接起来。“connect A to B” 常用于物理连接(如桥梁、道路),而“connect A with B”多用于抽象连接(如人或想法)。本句连接两个地点(this old town和Nanjing),因此“to”更贴切。当动词修饰名词时,需用非谓语形式(分词或不定式)。现在分词(-ing)表示主动或伴随状态,不定式(to do)常表示目的。本句强调桥的现有功能,分词更合适。故选D。
10.My American friend Sam is interested in Yangzhou very much. He wonders _______.
A.that Yangzhou was very rich in the ancient times
B.who built Ge Garden and He Garden
C.when was the Wenchang Pavilion built
D.what is the City Flower of Yangzhou

三、阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
A
There are many colours in nature. But do you know if a colour has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That’s to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and the order is the same. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长). It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill.
26.In people’s mind, different colours have different weight. Orange is heavier than ________.
A.blue B.red C.yellow D.green
27.The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ________.
A.a red box is heavier than a white one
B.a colour has weight in one’s mind
C.white paper is lighter than red paper
D.you can know the weight of a colour by holding it
28.Why did the scientist say colours have smell?
A.Because people can sense the light from colours.
B.Because we can smell colours with our nose.
C.Because every colour has its own sweet smell.
D.Because every colour can give off light of the same length.
【答案】26.C 27.B 28.A
【导语】本文主要讲述了科学家发现不同的颜色在人们心中有不同的重量,这是因为每一种颜色都代表一种具有特定波长的光,它通过感觉器官到达我们的大脑。人们也可以利用好自己喜欢的颜色来改变自己的状态。
26.细节理解题。根据“The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.”可知,橙色比黄色和白色重。故选C。
27.推理判断题。根据“It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.”可推断,第二段叙述的是颜色在人们的心中是有重量的。故选B。
28.推理判断题。根据“That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长). It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).”可知,每一种颜色都代表一种具有特定波长的光,它通过感觉器官到达我们的大脑。故可推断,人们通过感知这种具有特定波长的光,能够感受到颜色有气味。故选A。

①Have you heard of “helicopter (直升机) parents”? If parents pay too much attention to their children, then they are. “Helicopter parents” are always working hard to provide children with every chance (机会) to succeed, from baby steps at age 1, homework at age 8, jobs at age 25 to family problems at age 30,40 or even older.
②Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons. Worries about children’s future success can push parents to take more control over their children’s life. Adults who felt unloved as children may want to give as much love as they can to their own children. And when parents see others doing so, they will also follow.
③Although it develops with the idea of doing good things, yet the result isn’t always satisfying. Mary is taken to five after-school classes each week, but she doesn’t do well in any of them. “I feel like I am just checking off things on the list,” she says.
④Worse still, overparenting can do the exact opposite. A child raised in this way may feel helpless when he has to do things on his own. “________,” an expert said, “and if parents don’t let their children experience failure themselves, the children won’t get them.”
⑤Since helicopter parenting does such great harm, does it mean parents should just back off and let it go? Of course not! “The point is to prepare the kid for the road but not the road for the kid,” another expert said. “Teach them what is right, provide them with good environment and develop their good habits, but you have to let them live their own lives.”
29.Which of the following sentences can be put in ________ in the passage?
A.Don’t be a helicopter parent
B.It’s a parent’s job to support the children
C.Making decisions, solving problems and taking risks are key life skills
D.Parents try their best to make sure their children never meet with failure
30.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 5?
A.Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B.A thousand miles begins with a single step.
C.All things are difficult before they are easy.
D.Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

30.句意理解题。“The point is to prepare the kid for the road but not the road for the kid”的句意为“关键是要让孩子为(未来的)道路做好准备,而不是为孩子准备道路。”与D项“授人以鱼,不如授人以渔”意思相近。故选D。
31.篇章结构题。通读全文可知,文章第一段介绍了什么是“直升机家长”(过度教育);第二段介绍了“直升机家长”形成的原因;第三、第四段介绍了“直升机式育儿”的后果;第五段介绍了专家的建议。故文章结构为①-②-③④-⑤。故选A。

An old saying used for forecasting (预测) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming.
Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming.
If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure (压力) usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers— their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day!
32.What is the old saying about?
A.The beauty of sunrise. B.The night sky.
C.The signs of the weather. D.The sailors’work.
33.What does the underlined word “meteorologists” mean?
A.The persons who give daily weather reports on TV.
B.The persons who carry out research on natural history.
C.The persons who take an interest in plants and animals.
D.The persons who do scientific studies of weather conditions.
34.What do we know from the last paragraph?
A.It’ll be sunny if ants move to higher places.
B.The smells of flowers are stronger in wet air.
C.Birds fly higher because of the low air pressure.
D.It’ll rain if rainbows form in the west at sunrise.
35.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To encourage people to get close to nature.
B.To express the need for weather forecasting.
C.To explain nature can tell us about the weather.
D.To discuss how important weather forecasting is.
【答案】32.C 33.D 34.B 35.C
【导语】本文主要介绍利用自然界的迹象来预报天气。
32.推理判断题。根据“A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming.”可知,日落时的红色天空可能意味着太阳落山的西方天空晴朗。日出时天空呈红色通常意味着晴朗的天气已经过去,因此暴风雨可能即将来临。所以这句谚语是关于天气的迹象,故选C。
33.词句猜测题。根据“But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前).”可知,提前发布准确的预报的应该是气象学家,故选D。
34.细节理解题。根据“Smell the flowers—their smells are stronger in wet air.”可知,闻闻花——它们的气味在潮湿的空气中更强烈。故选B。
35.主旨大意题。本文主要介绍利用自然界的迹象来预报天气,是在解释自然可以告诉我们天气情况。故选C。
D
Technology usually distracts us from nature. But now technology is “offering us an opportunity to listen to non-humans in powerful ways, reviving our connection to the natural world,” wrote Professor Karen Bakker in her new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants.
All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound, a sound frequency far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect.
After the sounds are recorded, AI is then able to determine their meaning, according to the news website Vox. There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances. Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into “a zoological version of Google Translate”.
One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant. She explained how elephants “have a different signal for honeybee, which is a threat, and a different signal for human,” in an interview with Vox. “Moreover, they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,” she said.
This technology can not only understand the animals, but also communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate to their peers to go in search of nectar (花蜜). A research team in Germany, therefore, plugged (插入) the bee language AI database system into a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move, Vox reported. Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes, with there being many examples of chimpanzees having been taught sign language to communicate with humans. This new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.
36.What is the purpose of the quotation (引用) in Para 1?
A.To recommend a new book about the benefits of using digital technology.
B.To show the importance of using AI technology in socializing with animals.
C.To complain about the distraction digital technology brings to humans.
D.To introduce the topic and encourage the readers to read on for further information.
37.What do we know about coral?
A.They communicate through infrasound.
B.Their sounds are within our range of hearing.
C.They have no ears and cannot pick up sound.
D.Sound waves help baby coral choose their home.
38.Which of the following animals have different signals for different purposes?
A.Coral. B.Whales. C.Elephants. D.Honeybees.
39.Why did researchers create the robot bee?
A.To collect more bee dances. B.To show direction to bees.
C.To learn the language of bees. D.To help bees search for their friends.
40.What’s the writer’s attitude toward the application (应用) of the new technology?
A.positive B.negative C.critical (批评的) D.doubtful
【答案】36.D 37.D 38.C 39.B 40.A

38.细节理解题。根据第四段“She explained how elephants ‘have a different signal for honeybee, which is a threat, and a different signal for human, ’ in an interview with Vox. ‘Moreover, they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,’” 可知,大象对有威胁的蜜蜂,对人类有不同的信号。故选C。
39.细节理解题。根据最后一段“A research team in Germany, therefore, plugged the bee language AI database system into a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move,” 可知,研究人员创造蜜蜂机器人是为了向蜜蜂传达移动的方向。故选B。
40.推理判断题。根据最后一段“This new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.”及全文可推断,作者看好新技术在研究动物交流方面的当下与前景,态度是积极的。故选A。

Sending humans to Mars has long been scientists’ dream. This has never been done before. NASA is building a rocket to go to Mars. NASA is an organization in the USA that carries out space programmes. They are now building a rocket called Space Launch System. A company called Boeing, which builds airplanes and spaceships, is helping. Tiera Fletcher is an engineer working at Boeing. She is working on Space Launch System. It will be the largest rocket ever built.
Question one: What was your life like growing up?
Fletcher: I grew up in a small town called Mableton. It is right outside Atanta, Gicorgia. I was very interested in Maths as a kid. My mom would take me on trips to the store. She would make me calculate the price of the things we bought. Later, my interests grew. I wanted to be a mathematician. I also wanted to be an inventor and scientist.
Question two: What is aerospace engineering, and how did you become interested in it?
Fletcher: Engineers solve problems. They do so by making products, such as machines. Aerospace engineers work with airplanes and spaceships. I took part in a school programme at age 11. It was about aerospace engineering. I decided that I wanted to become an aerospace engineer. In high school, I studied reverse thrust. Thrust is a pushing force (力). It moves airplanes forward. Engines (引擎) create thrust to push a lot of air backward. This causes the plane to move forward. Reverse thrust is a system. It is used in planes. It changes the direction that the air is pushed from the engine.
Question three: How did you come to work at Boeing, and what do you do there now?
Fletcher: I worked as an intern (实习生) at Boeing. Later, the company offered me a job. Today, I work on Space Launch System. I design some of its parts. The rocket is being built and tested now. It will be the largest rocket ever created. Its goal is to send people to Mars.
Question four: What challenges do you face at work and what have you done with them?
Fletcher: I’m 25, African American and female. Most of the people I work with are older males. This has been a challenge. People may have unfair or negative (消极的) beliefs about me. I have been able to rise above this challenge. I work hard to prove that I can do my job well. It takes confidence and courage.
Question five: What advice do you have for students who might be interested in a career like yours?
Fletcher: Do your research! Also, keep an open mind. There are so many choices out there in science, technology, engineering and maths. Try them all out. Keep trying new subjects until you find what you love. Do not limit yourself! You are capable (能干的) of more, you can do more, and you can be more.
