When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door. My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked. “Some clothes and food.” I replied. “If you want to run away, that’s all right.” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.” I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.” This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off, shoes, socks, underwear and all — and shouted, “Can I go now?” “Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body. After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
“Who’s there?” I heard.
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.” Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”
The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” She asked.
“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.
41. When the author was leaving home, his mother ordered him to ________.
A. stay at home B. leave everything behind
C. take some sandwiches D. check his suitcase carefully
42. Which of the following can best describe the author’s mom?

43. The underlined word “infuriated” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. angered. B. warned. C. encouraged. D. surprised.
44. Why did the author jump under the low-hanging branches?
A. To play a joke on the two girls. B. To find some needles.
C. To avoid being seen. D. To attract the two girls’ attention.

A wanted to know what his mother prepared for supper B. wished to eat something before leaving
C. changed his plan to leave home D. felt very hungry at that time
C
It turns out that humans aren’t the only ones taking mathematics tests. A group of cognitive (认知的) scientists are training bees to perform simple addition (加法) and subtraction (减法).
For the experiment, the scientists lured (诱惑) individual bees with sugar water. “She flies back to the hive, gives it to the other bees, and two minutes later she’ll come back and do it again,” Dyer said, a scientist from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. They taught and tested 14 bees over the course of the experiment — one bee at a time.
To learn the rules, a bee first would be shown cards printed with a number of shapes in one of two colors: blue, if they were supposed to add one to the shapes on the card, or yellow, if they were meant to subtract one shape. Then, the bee would choose an answer to the problem by flying to one of two presented solutions. If it chose well, it found itself near a solution of delicious sugar water. If it chose poorly, however, it would be punished with a bad-tasting drink. The researchers found that each bee picked the correct answer in both addition and subtraction trials about 70 percent of the time.
Dyer said, “Problem-solving requires both long-term memory and short-term memory. Long-term memory allows the bees to remember that blue and yellow equate to (等同于) separate mathematical rules. Short-term memory lets them recall the actual numbers in a particular problem.”
“It’s assumed that humans are very complex, and there’s a decreasing level of complexity going away from humans,” said Muth, an animal cognition researcher who wasn’t involved in this study. But in fact, complex awareness, like the mathematical problems solved by bees, can be made up of relatively simple ways.
That doesn’t explain why bees might have evolved (进化) the ability to figure out mathematical problems, though. One possibility is that bees didn’t evolve to do addition and subtraction. They just evolved to be smart enough to figure it out.
Dyer said that observing a tiny animal with a brain that has less than a million neurons (神经元) learn a very complex task makes him think, “Wow, what can humans achieve?”
46. What task did the scientists set for the bees?
A. Separating blue from yellow B. Figuring out different shapes.
C. Learning simple mathematical rules. D. Tasting water of two flavors.
47. What role does memory play in problem-solving?
A. Long-term memory plays a bigger part.
B. Long-term memory contributes to recalling.
C. Short-term memory is not necessary.
D. Short-term memory is as important as long-term memory.
48. Which of the following statements is TRUE about bees?
A. They can remember all the colors in the wild.
B. Their intelligence becomes higher as they evolve.
C. They experience a decreasing level of complexity.
D. They are by nature good at mathematics.
49. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Human achievements can be limitless. B. Human brains deserve good study.
C. Humans must fully develop neurons. D. Humans are good at observation.
50. The passage can be probably taken from ________.
A. A science journal B. An advertisement
C. An art museum guidance D. A science fiction

In south Africa there is a safari park (野生动物园) which contains all sorts of wild animals like lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, zebras, wild pigs, deer and giraffes.
Though there is a wild road leading through the park, nobody is permitted to walk on the road. They have to drive around in a car not only because the park is huge but also because wild animals may fiercely attack people.
Some of the animals are getting scarce (稀有的) because people kill them for various reasons. For example, rhinoceroses (犀牛) are killed for their horns (角), which are used in traditional Chinese medicines for colds and headaches.
Travelers may buy food to feed the animals. Of course, they should not feed them in a close distance because the wild animals may attack people. In addition, they should only give proper food to the animals.
A traveler may carry a gun with him in his journey. The gun is given to him by the government. However, it is not used for hunting. In fact, a seal (封条) is fixed to it. The traveler may fire at a wild animal to defend himself in case he is attacked. However, he has to prove to the government that he has been attacked and that he has not fired at a harmless animal.

从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
1. around, I saw a white-haired man.
A. Turned B. Turning C. To turn D. Turn
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:转过身来,我看见一个白发苍苍的男人。句子主干成分完整,空处是非谓语,turn around“转身”和I逻辑上是主动关系,该行为发生后谓语行为紧接着发生,因此用turn的现在分词形式,作时间状语。故选B。
2. You must have some moments ______ you were disappointed.
A. for which B. which C. that D. when
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:你一定有过一些感到失望的时刻。根据空前名词moments (表示时间)以及空后完整的句子结构可知,此空引导定语从句,关系词在从句中作状语,应用when。故选D。
3. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me _____ how English can be a crazy language to learn.
A. thinks B. thought C. to think D. thinking
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:菠萝(pineapple)里既没有松树(pine)也没有苹果(apple)。这让我一直在想英语是一门多么疯狂语言。根据句意,此处表示一种持续的状态或过程,get sb doing让某人一直做某事,符合题意,故选D。
4. English is a unique and mad language ______ an alarm is only heard once it goes off.
A. on which B. in which C. that D. which
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:英语是一门独特而疯狂的语言,在这门语言里,警报只有在响起时才会被听到/英语这门语言独特又疯癫:词句的含义,总要等到它现身那一刻,方解其意。根据空前的名词短语a unique and mad language以及空后完整的句子结构可知,此空引导定语从句,且在从句里作状语。先行词是language,表示“在这门语言里”,应用in which,相当于where。故选B。
5. Now more and more people are ______ the danger of drinking alcohol.
A. tired of B. fond of C. aware of D. proud of
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词短语辨析。句意:现在越来越多的人意识到喝酒的危险。A. tired of厌烦;B. fond of喜欢;C. aware of意识到;D. proud of为……感到骄傲。根据“the danger of drinking alcohol(喝酒的危险)”可知,此处表达人们意识到喝酒的危险,aware of符合语境,故选C项。
6. —Hey! A message on my cellphone shows that I have won a big prize!
— Delete it! Many people ________ by such tricks so far.
A. was cheated B. were cheated
C. have been cheated D. had been cheated
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词语态。句意:——嘿!手机短信显示我中了大奖! ——删除它!至今已有不少人被这样的伎俩所欺骗。由so far可知,应用现在完成时,主语people和动词cheat是被动关系,应用现在完成时的被动语态。故选C。
7. I only intended to be there for a few days, but I ______ ended up staying for a whole month.
A. actually B. specifically C. particularly D. especially
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查副词辨析。句意:我原本只打算在那里待几天,但实际上我最终待了整整一个月。A. actually 实际上,强调与原本想法或预期相反的实际情况;B. specifically 明确地;具体地,侧重对事物进行详细说明或限定范围;C. particularly 尤其;特别,用于强调某一事物在同类中更突出或更重要;D. especially 尤其;格外,用法与 particularly 相近,均侧重强调。根据“I only intended to be there for a few days(我原本只打算在那里待几天)”以及“ended up staying for a whole month(最终待了整整一个月)”可知,“原本打算待几天”与“最终待了一个月”存在预期与实际的反差,需用“实际上”体现这种转折后的真实情况,故选A。
8. In the last few years, China ___ great achievements in environmental protection.
A. has made B. had made
C. was making D. is making
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意:在过去的这些年里,中国在环境保护中取得了很大的成就。由时间状语in the last few years可推知动作从过去一段时间持续到现在并对现在造成影响,用现在完成时。故选A。
【名师点睛】判断时态可以从时间状语入手,题干中的in the last few years为现在完成时的时间标志词。类似的还有over/ for/ during the last/ past years/months…均为现在完成时的时间标志,所以做此类题时,需要先看句子中是否有明确的时间点,然后我再判断时态。
9. I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my ______ to get to know my new school.
A. confidence B. eagerness C. description D. performance
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查名词辨析。句意:我醒得很早,急切地冲出门,想要去了解我的新学校。A. confidence 信心;B. eagerness 急切;渴望;C. description 描述;D. performance 表现;表演。根据“I woke up early and rushed out of the door(我醒得很早,冲出门)”以及“get to know my new school(了解我的新学校)”可知此处说的是我急切地想要了解我的新学校,故选B项。

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door. My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked. “Some clothes and food.” I replied. “If you want to run away, that’s all right.” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.” I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.” This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off, shoes, socks, underwear and all — and shouted, “Can I go now?” “Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body. After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
“Who’s there?” I heard.
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.” Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”
The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” She asked.
“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.

It turns out that humans aren’t the only ones taking mathematics tests. A group of cognitive (认知的) scientists are training bees to perform simple addition (加法) and subtraction (减法).
For the experiment, the scientists lured (诱惑) individual bees with sugar water. “She flies back to the hive, gives it to the other bees, and two minutes later she’ll come back and do it again,” Dyer said, a scientist from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. They taught and tested 14 bees over the course of the experiment — one bee at a time.
To learn the rules, a bee first would be shown cards printed with a number of shapes in one of two colors: blue, if they were supposed to add one to the shapes on the card, or yellow, if they were meant to subtract one shape. Then, the bee would choose an answer to the problem by flying to one of two presented solutions. If it chose well, it found itself near a solution of delicious sugar water. If it chose poorly, however, it would be punished with a bad-tasting drink. The researchers found that each bee picked the correct answer in both addition and subtraction trials about 70 percent of the time.
Dyer said, “Problem-solving requires both long-term memory and short-term memory. Long-term memory allows the bees to remember that blue and yellow equate to (等同于) separate mathematical rules. Short-term memory lets them recall the actual numbers in a particular problem.”
“It’s assumed that humans are very complex, and there’s a decreasing level of complexity going away from humans,” said Muth, an animal cognition researcher who wasn’t involved in this study. But in fact, complex awareness, like the mathematical problems solved by bees, can be made up of relatively simple ways.
That doesn’t explain why bees might have evolved (进化) the ability to figure out mathematical problems, though. One possibility is that bees didn’t evolve to do addition and subtraction. They just evolved to be smart enough to figure it out.
Dyer said that observing a tiny animal with a brain that has less than a million neurons (神经元) learn a very complex task makes him think, “Wow, what can humans achieve?”
46. What task did the scientists set for the bees?
A. Separating blue from yellow B. Figuring out different shapes.
C. Learning simple mathematical rules. D. Tasting water of two flavors.
47. What role does memory play in problem-solving?
A. Long-term memory plays a bigger part.
B. Long-term memory contributes to recalling.
C. Short-term memory is not necessary.
D. Short-term memory is as important as long-term memory.
48. Which of the following statements is TRUE about bees?
A. They can remember all the colors in the wild.
B. Their intelligence becomes higher as they evolve.
C. They experience a decreasing level of complexity.
D. They are by nature good at mathematics.
49. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Human achievements can be limitless. B. Human brains deserve good study.
C. Humans must fully develop neurons. D. Humans are good at observation.
50. The passage can be probably taken from ________.
A. A science journal B. An advertisement
C. An art museum guidance D. A science fiction
【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. A

Short-term memory lets them recall the actual numbers in a particular problem.”(戴尔说:‘解决问题需要长期记忆和短期记忆。长期记忆使蜜蜂能够记住蓝色和黄色等同于单独数学规则。短期记忆让他们回忆起特定问题的实际数字。’)”可知,记忆在解决问题中所起的作用是短期记忆与长期记忆一样重要。故选D。

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“That doesn’t explain why bees might have evolved (进化) the ability to figure out mathematical problems, though. One possibility is that bees didn’t evolve to do addition and subtraction. They just evolved to be smart enough to figure it out.(但这并不能解释为什么蜜蜂可能进化出解决数学问题的能力。一种可能性是蜜蜂并没有进化出做加法和减法的能力。他们只是进化到足够聪明来解决这个问题。)”可知,蜜蜂的智力随着进化而变得更高。故选B。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dyer said that observing a tiny animal with a brain that has less than a million neurons (神经元) learn a very complex task makes him think, “Wow, what can humans achieve?”(戴尔说,观察一只大脑少于一百万个神经元的微小动物学习一项非常复杂的任务让他思考,‘哇,人类能实现什么?’)”可推知,人类的成就可以是无限的。故选A。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“It turns out that humans aren’t the only ones taking mathematics tests. A group of cognitive (认知的) scientists are training bees to perform simple addition (加法) and subtraction (减法).(事实证明,人类并不是唯一接受数学测试的人。一群认知科学家正在训练蜜蜂进行简单的加法和减法)”可知,文章主要介绍了科学家正在训练蜜蜂进行简单的加法和减法,这属于科学科普类的知识。由此可推知,文章可能选自科学杂志,故选A。

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
In south Africa there is a safari park (野生动物园), which contains all sorts of wild animals like lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, zebras, wild pigs, deer and giraffes.
Though there is a wild road leading through the park, nobody is permitted to walk on the road. They have to drive around in a car not only because the park is huge but also because wild animals may fiercely attack people.
Some of the animals are getting scarce (稀有的) because people kill them for various reasons. For example, rhinoceroses (犀牛) are killed for their horns (角), which are used in traditional Chinese medicines for colds and headaches.
Travelers may buy food to feed the animals. Of course, they should not feed them in a close distance because the wild animals may attack people. In addition, they should only give proper food to the animals.
A traveler may carry a gun with him in his journey. The gun is given to him by the government. However, it is not used for hunting. In fact, a seal (封条) is fixed to it. The traveler may fire at a wild animal to defend himself in case he is attacked. However, he has to prove to the government that he has been attacked and that he has not fired at a harmless animal.
51. Why do travelers have to stay in a car during their visit? (no more than 15 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
52. Why are rhinoceroses getting scarce? (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
53. What warning are given to travelers when they feed the animals? (no more than 15 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
54. What does the underlined word in the 5th paragraph mean? (1 word)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
55. Do you think people should kill wild animals? Please explain. (no more than 25 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】51. Because the park is huge and animals may attack people.
52. Because people killed them for their horns.
53. Staying away from the animals and giving them proper food.
54. Protect
55. No, we shouldn’t kill wild animals. It disrupts ecosystems and many species are already endangered due to human actions. Conservation is crucial.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了南非一个野生动物园的基本情况,包括游客必须驾车游览的原因、犀牛数量稀少的原因、投喂动物的注意事项、游客持枪的规定,以及保护野生动物的重要性。
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“They have to drive around in a car not only because the park is huge but also because wild animals may fiercely attack people(他们必须开车游览,不仅因为公园很大,而且因为野生动物可能会猛烈攻击人)”可知,游客必须待在车中是因为公园面积大且动物可能攻击人。故答案为Because the park is huge and animals may attack people.
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Some of the animals are getting scarce (稀有的) because people kill them for various reasons. For example, rhinoceroses (犀牛) are killed for their horns (角), which are used in traditional Chinese medicines for colds and headaches(一些动物正变得日益稀少,因为人们出于各种原因猎杀它们。例如,犀牛因它们的角而被杀害——这些角被用于治疗感冒和头痛的传统中药中)可知,犀牛稀少是因为人们为获取犀牛角而捕杀它们。故答案为Because people killed them for their horns.
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段“they should not feed them in a close distance because the wild animals may attack people. In addition, they should only give proper food to the animals(他们不应近距离投喂,因为野生动物可能攻击人。此外,他们只能给动物合适的食物)”可知,投喂动物时要注意保持距离并给予合适的食物。故答案为Staying away from the animals and giving them proper food.
【54题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据第五段“The traveler may fire at a wild animal to … himself in case he is attacked.(游客可以向野生动物开枪以defend自己,以防受到攻击)”可知,划线词上文提到了游客可以向野生动物开枪,下文说的是以防受到攻击,可推理出defend意为“保护;防卫”。故答案为Protect。
【55题详解】
开放性试题。言之有理,注意词数限制。如根据第三段“Some of the animals are getting scarce (稀有的) because people kill them for various reasons. For example, rhinoceroses (犀牛) are killed for their horns (角), which are used in traditional Chinese medicines for colds and headaches(一些动物正变得日益稀少,因为人们出于各种原因猎杀它们。例如,犀牛因它们的角而被杀害——这些角被用于治疗感冒和头痛的传统中药中)、第四段“they should not feed them in a close distance because the wild animals may attack people. In addition, they should only give proper food to the animals(他们不应近距离投喂,因为野生动物可能攻击人。此外,他们只能给动物合适的食物)”可知,一些动物正变得日益稀少,因为人们出于各种原因猎杀它们,人们不应近距离投喂,以确保不被野生动物攻击,所以我们不应捕杀野生动物,因为这会破坏生态平衡,许多物种已因人类活动濒危,保护野生动物至关重要。故答案为No, we shouldn’t kill wild animals. It disrupts ecosystems and many species are already endangered due to human actions. Conservation is crucial.
