一、阅读理解
A
Dear Editor,
After I attended your summer camp about health and lifestyle choices, I realised I hardly ever felt well, either physically or mentally. I often felt sleepy and dizzy, and lacked passion. Most worrying, though, I got the flu easily and experienced many toothaches, too.
At the end of the camp I heard, “Change the world by changing yourself.” This stimulated my motivation. A dentist once examined me and told me that too much sugar in my meals had damaged my teeth and health. I made up my mind to change two things in my life: to eat nothing with sugar and to exercise regularly.
After that I stopped buying all the sweets, biscuits, and sugary drinks that I used to have every day. Whenever I went out with friends, I brought snacks from home, things that didn’t have any added sugar: fruit, nuts, dried meat, etc.
My exercise was very simple: I went outside every day for at least 30 minutes and did something active. Sometimes I played table tennis or badminton with my cousins. Other times I jumped on my skateboard and rode around my neighbourhood, or just took a long walk.
The results have been fantastic. I feel more dynamic and stronger than ever, in both body and mind. I sleep soundly at night now. I no longer suffer from a flu virus or toothaches either. Best of all, in my opinion, is how I feel about myself. I feel like I’m in control of my own life. To make choices about myself is within my own power. I CAN change myself. I just need to try.
Yours truly,
Wang Lu
Dear Editor,
As I took part in the summer camp about personal life choices, I started to analyse my choices, especially what I did to relax and how it was affecting my whole life.
After starting high school, I felt stressed out and always relaxed by playing computer games. I got so absorbed that I played the games day and night. Playing was fun, but I felt even more worn out afterwards! So after the camp, I realised that it was very, very important to adjust my lifestyle. I decided to take control of my life and find other ways to relax.
It was a big struggle not to join my friends in playing online games as I’m mad for them. However, I realised that to succeed in quitting, I had to replace it with something else. So I thought about what to try. Rock climbing, bowling, watching comedies, and playing basketball were the things I thought of doing instead.
Now my dad and I go rock climbing together monthly! It has enhanced the quality of my life, improving my health and increasing my happiness. I get refreshed through climbing, spend more time with my dad, and get to meet new friends.
After six months of trying out new ways of relaxing, I feel much more energetic. I feel that I can change myself for the better. And if that’s true for me, then it might truly be possible to change the world for the better. As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Sincerely,
George Fielding

In 2021, my 68-year-old mother was diagnosed(诊断) with Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默病). By January 2023, she’d lost her ability to complete everyday tasks. She was set on staying in her home and resisted the in-home care. I guessed it was because of what it represented: the acceptance of a disease that would slowly rob her of her memories and the ability to take care of herself.
We had to make the hard choice of finding her a nursing home for her safety and well-being. But we knew she wouldn’t be interested. So, we made up an excuse, telling her that it was an opportunity to spend the winter near my brother in sunny Florida while living at an apartment we had arranged for her.
My mum wasn’t the soft, affectionate mother I often longed for. She had never shown or talked about her feelings, but she was a great example of a hard-working, independent, entrepreneurial woman. My brother and I both have our own businesses, which is something she showed us was possible.
Since her diagnosis, watching her battle with accepting what was happening to her was heartbreaking, but I also felt closer to her when she began to express and share her feelings with me like a kid.
My brother arrived to meet us and we were shown to her apartment. A small kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms — one for her, and one for me and my brother to stay in when we visited. She seemed happy during moving in. For the next 10 days, I lived with her there. We went to meals together, reviewed the activity schedule, and I dropped her off and picked her up like a child at school.
The day came when I had to fly home, and I cried. As I shifted from being her daughter to being more like her parent, I realized how hard being a mother can be.
5. Why might the author’s mother resist in-home care?
A. She preferred living alone.
B. She disliked the caregivers.
C. She feared losing independence.
D. She intended to move to Florida.
6. How did the author and her brother convince their mother to move to the nursing home?
A. They told her a white lie.
B. They threatened her to go.
C. They offered her a free apartment.
D. They agreed to keep her company.
7. What kind of person was the author’s mother before the diagnosis?
A. Talkative and determined. B. Reserved but responsible.
C. Energetic and gentle. D. Creative but cold.
8. How does the author feel after her role change?
A. Confused. B. Content.
C. Awkward. D. Appreciative.

As night falls in the rainforest, orangutans(猩猩) climb high into the treetops to build tree nests(巢). These carefully constructed beds provide warmth, comfort, and protection against natural enemies and mosquitoes. Scientists have long been curious about how young orangutans learn such a complex skill. Recent research shows that they learn it through observation and practice — a process known as observational social learning.
Nest-building is essential for orangutan survival. It is neither purely inborn nor quickly mastered. Constructing a nest requires physical strength, clever hands, and decision-making regarding materials and structure. Night nests are especially well-designed, often featuring linings, pillows, and even roofs. This makes nest-building a challenging task.
Young orangutans begin to show interest in nest-building at around six months old. They start practicing simple day nests at about one year of age, but night nest construction begins around age three and is not fully mastered until they are about eight years old. More advanced skills, such as building across multiple trees or adding comfort features, develop even later.
A key finding is that young orangutans learn primarily by closely watching their mothers build nests. Those who paid close attention were more likely to attempt practice soon afterward. Simply being near the mother without active observation did not have the same effect. This highlights the role of focused attention in social learning.
Additionally, young orangutans pay special attention to complex aspects of construction, such as multi-tree supports and comfort elements. After observing these challenging steps, they practice them more frequently. As they grow older, they also observe other members of the group, broadening their learning sources.
Material selection is also socially learned. Young orangutans tend to use the same tree species as their mothers. As they grow older, they experiment with other materials, but adults often return to the tree species their mothers used.
This study highlights that nest-building traditions are culturally passed down across generations. The loss of orangutan populations or their habitats could therefore mean the disappearance of unique cultural knowledge. This research not only shows the intelligence and cultural richness of orangutans, but also emphasizes the importance of their conservation.
9. Which word can best describe the process of young orangutans learning nest-building?
A. Gradual. B. Painful. C. Inefficient. D. Independent.
10. How do young orangutans mainly learn to build nests?
A. By trial and error. B. By observing their mothers.
C. Through natural behavior. D. From other young orangutans.
11. What do young orangutans focus especially on when learning nest-building?
A. Quick nest-building skills. B. Complex construction aspects.
C. Simple day nest structures. D. Rare tree species for materials.
12. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Habits of orangutans. B. The necessity of learning.
C. Ways to protect orangutans. D. The significance of the study.
D
If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play.
Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing the arts the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments, I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness struck as you came out from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city. There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated(刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in, you might see them as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life.
13. What prevents people from enjoying the arts?
A. Lack of interest. B. Avoidance of duty.
C. Shortage of time. D. Art space inaccessibility.
14. What can we learn about the role of the arts according to paragraph 3?
A. They explore mysteries of life.
B. They spark emotional responses.
C. They enhance physical well-being.
D. They offer a getaway from daily life.
15. According to the passage, which of the following statements about “the arts” is true?
A. Most people consider the arts as a form of escape from reality.
B. The arts can directly provide practical solutions to daily life problems.
C. The author suggests that the arts should be treated as a necessity of life.
D. The main barrier to participating in the arts is the lack of accessible places.
16. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Forms of distracting pleasures.
B. Benefits of engaging with the arts.
C. Barriers to combine the arts and life.
D. Ways to integrate the arts into daily routine.

一、阅读理解
A
Dear Editor,
After I attended your summer camp about health and lifestyle choices, I realised I hardly ever felt well, either physically or mentally. I often felt sleepy and dizzy, and lacked passion. Most worrying, though, I got the flu easily and experienced many toothaches, too.
At the end of the camp I heard, “Change the world by changing yourself.” This stimulated my motivation. A dentist once examined me and told me that too much sugar in my meals had damaged my teeth and health. I made up my mind to change two things in my life: to eat nothing with sugar and to exercise regularly.
After that I stopped buying all the sweets, biscuits, and sugary drinks that I used to have every day. Whenever I went out with friends, I brought snacks from home, things that didn’t have any added sugar: fruit, nuts, dried meat, etc.
My exercise was very simple: I went outside every day for at least 30 minutes and did something active. Sometimes I played table tennis or badminton with my cousins. Other times I jumped on my skateboard and rode around my neighbourhood, or just took a long walk.
The results have been fantastic. I feel more dynamic and stronger than ever, in both body and mind. I sleep soundly at night now. I no longer suffer from a flu virus or toothaches either. Best of all, in my opinion, is how I feel about myself. I feel like I’m in control of my own life. To make choices about myself is within my own power. I CAN change myself. I just need to try.
Yours truly,
Wang Lu
Dear Editor,
As I took part in the summer camp about personal life choices, I started to analyse my choices, especially what I did to relax and how it was affecting my whole life.
After starting high school, I felt stressed out and always relaxed by playing computer games. I got so absorbed that I played the games day and night. Playing was fun, but I felt even more worn out afterwards! So after the camp, I realised that it was very, very important to adjust my lifestyle. I decided to take control of my life and find other ways to relax.
It was a big struggle not to join my friends in playing online games as I’m mad for them. However, I realised that to succeed in quitting, I had to replace it with something else. So I thought about what to try. Rock climbing, bowling, watching comedies, and playing basketball were the things I thought of doing instead.
Now my dad and I go rock climbing together monthly! It has enhanced the quality of my life, improving my health and increasing my happiness. I get refreshed through climbing, spend more time with my dad, and get to meet new friends.
After six months of trying out new ways of relaxing, I feel much more energetic. I feel that I can change myself for the better. And if that’s true for me, then it might truly be possible to change the world for the better. As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Sincerely,
George Fielding

B
In 2021, my 68-year-old mother was diagnosed(诊断) with Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默病). By January 2023, she’d lost her ability to complete everyday tasks. She was set on staying in her home and resisted the in-home care. I guessed it was because of what it represented: the acceptance of a disease that would slowly rob her of her memories and the ability to take care of herself.
We had to make the hard choice of finding her a nursing home for her safety and well-being. But we knew she wouldn’t be interested. So, we made up an excuse, telling her that it was an opportunity to spend the winter near my brother in sunny Florida while living at an apartment we had arranged for her.
My mum wasn’t the soft, affectionate mother I often longed for. She had never shown or talked about her feelings, but she was a great example of a hard-working, independent, entrepreneurial woman. My brother and I both have our own businesses, which is something she showed us was possible.
Since her diagnosis, watching her battle with accepting what was happening to her was heartbreaking, but I also felt closer to her when she began to express and share her feelings with me like a kid.
My brother arrived to meet us and we were shown to her apartment. A small kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms — one for her, and one for me and my brother to stay in when we visited. She seemed happy during moving in. For the next 10 days, I lived with her there. We went to meals together, reviewed the activity schedule, and I dropped her off and picked her up like a child at school.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者母亲患阿尔茨海默病后,作者和兄弟为其找养老院并陪伴的经历及感受。
5. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“She was set on staying in her home and resisted the in-home care. I guessed it was because of what it represented: the acceptance of a disease that would slowly rob her of her memories and the ability to take care of herself.(她执意要留在自己家中,拒绝居家护理服务。我猜想,这是因为居家护理对她而言意味着接受一种会慢慢剥夺她记忆和自理能力的疾病。)”可知,作者母亲拒绝居家护理是因为她害怕失去独立生活的能力。故选C。
6. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“So, we made up an excuse, telling her that it was an opportunity to spend the winter near my brother in sunny Florida while living at an apartment we had arranged for her.(所以,我们编了个借口,告诉她这是一个机会,可以在阳光明媚的佛罗里达州我哥哥附近过冬,同时住在我们为她安排的公寓里。)”可知,作者和她的兄弟对母亲说了一个善意的谎言,说服她搬到养老院。故选A。
7. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“My mum wasn’t the soft, affectionate mother I often longed for. She had never shown or talked about her feelings, but she was a great example of a hard-working, independent, entrepreneurial woman.(我妈妈不是我经常渴望的那种温柔、深情的母亲。她从未表现或谈论过自己的感受,但她是一个勤劳、独立、有创业精神的女性的典范。)”可推知,作者的母亲在确诊前是一个内敛但有责任心的人。故选B。8. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As I shifted from being her daughter to being more like her parent, I realized how hard being a mother can be.(当我从她的女儿转变为更像她的父母时,我意识到做母亲有多难。)”可知,作者在角色转变后,感到母亲的艰辛,因此很感激母亲。故选D。

As night falls in the rainforest, orangutans(猩猩) climb high into the treetops to build tree nests(巢). These carefully constructed beds provide warmth, comfort, and protection against natural enemies and mosquitoes. Scientists have long been curious about how young orangutans learn such a complex skill. Recent research shows that they learn it through observation and practice — a process known as observational social learning.
Nest-building is essential for orangutan survival. It is neither purely inborn nor quickly mastered. Constructing a nest requires physical strength, clever hands, and decision-making regarding materials and structure. Night nests are especially well-designed, often featuring linings, pillows, and even roofs. This makes nest-building a challenging task.
Young orangutans begin to show interest in nest-building at around six months old. They start practicing simple day nests at about one year of age, but night nest construction begins around age three and is not fully mastered until they are about eight years old. More advanced skills, such as building across multiple trees or adding comfort features, develop even later.
A key finding is that young orangutans learn primarily by closely watching their mothers build nests. Those who paid close attention were more likely to attempt practice soon afterward. Simply being near the mother without active observation did not have the same effect. This highlights the role of focused attention in social learning.
Additionally, young orangutans pay special attention to complex aspects of construction, such as multi-tree supports and comfort elements. After observing these challenging steps, they practice them more frequently. As they grow older, they also observe other members of the group, broadening their learning sources.
Material selection is also socially learned. Young orangutans tend to use the same tree species as their mothers. As they grow older, they experiment with other materials, but adults often return to the tree species their mothers used.
This study highlights that nest-building traditions are culturally passed down across generations. The loss of orangutan populations or their habitats could therefore mean the disappearance of unique cultural knowledge. This research not only shows the intelligence and cultural richness of orangutans, but also emphasizes the importance of their conservation.
9. Which word can best describe the process of young orangutans learning nest-building?
A. Gradual. B. Painful. C. Inefficient. D. Independent.
10. How do young orangutans mainly learn to build nests?
A. By trial and error. B. By observing their mothers.
C. Through natural behavior. D. From other young orangutans.
11. What do young orangutans focus especially on when learning nest-building?
A. Quick nest-building skills. B. Complex construction aspects.
C. Simple day nest structures. D. Rare tree species for materials.
12. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Habits of orangutans. B. The necessity of learning.
C. Ways to protect orangutans. D. The significance of the study.
【答案】9. A 10. B 11. B 12. D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科学家对红毛猩猩幼崽学习筑巢技能的研究,发现它们通过观察(尤其是观察母亲)和练习逐步掌握这一复杂技能,且筑巢传统具有文化传承属性,同时强调该研究对红毛猩猩保护的意义。
9. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Young orangutans begin to show interest in nest-building at around six months old. They start practicing simple day nests at about one year of age, but night nest construction begins around age three and is not fully mastered until they are about eight years old. (红毛猩猩幼崽约6个月大时开始对筑巢产生兴趣,1岁左右开始练习简单的日间巢,3岁左右才开始筑夜间巢,直到8岁左右才能完全掌握。)”可知,幼崽学习筑巢从产生兴趣到完全掌握耗时多年,过程具有“渐进性”。故选A项。
10. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A key finding is that young orangutans learn primarily by closely watching their mothers build nests.( 一项关键发现是,红毛猩猩幼崽主要通过密切观察母亲筑巢来学习。)”可知,幼崽学习筑巢的主要方式是观察母亲。故选B项。
11. 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Additionally, young orangutans pay special attention to complex aspects of construction, such as multi-tree supports and comfort elements. (此外,红毛猩猩幼崽会特别关注筑巢中的复杂环节,例如跨树支撑和提升舒适度的构造。)”可知,幼崽学习筑巢时尤其关注复杂的建造环节。故选B项。
12. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“This study highlights that nest-building traditions are culturally passed down across generations. The loss of orangutan populations or their habitats could therefore mean the disappearance of unique cultural knowledge. This research not only shows the intelligence and cultural richness of orangutans, but also emphasizes the importance of their conservation. (这项研究强调,红毛猩猩的筑巢传统是通过文化代代相传的。因此,红毛猩猩种群数量减少或栖息地丧失,都可能意味着这种独特文化知识的消失。这项研究不仅揭示了红毛猩猩的智力水平与丰富的文化内涵,还着重强调了保护它们的重要性。)”可知,该段核心是阐述研究的意义——既揭示红毛猩猩的文化传承属性,也凸显其保护的重要性。故选D项。
D
If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play.
Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing the arts the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments, I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness struck as you came out from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city. There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated(刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in, you might see them as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life.
13. What prevents people from enjoying the arts?
A. Lack of interest. B. Avoidance of duty.
C. Shortage of time. D. Art space inaccessibility.
14. What can we learn about the role of the arts according to paragraph 3?
A. They explore mysteries of life.
B. They spark emotional responses.
C. They enhance physical well-being.
D. They offer a getaway from daily life.
15. According to the passage, which of the following statements about “the arts” is true?
A. Most people consider the arts as a form of escape from reality.
B. The arts can directly provide practical solutions to daily life problems.
C. The author suggests that the arts should be treated as a necessity of life.
D. The main barrier to participating in the arts is the lack of accessible places.
16. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Forms of distracting pleasures.
B. Benefits of engaging with the arts.
C. Barriers to combine the arts and life.
D. Ways to integrate the arts into daily routine.
【答案】13. C 14. B 15. C 16. D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了多数人认同艺术的价值却很少参与,指出日常事务繁忙是主要阻碍,强调艺术是生活必需品,建议将其融入日常生活。
13. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed.(这种脱节可以归结为一个事实:我们被日常责任压得喘不过气,日程安排得满满当当)”可知,人们被日常责任占据,日程紧凑、缺乏时间,这阻碍了他们享受艺术。故选C项。
14. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.(它们可能会激发一种突然的觉醒,就像在雾霾中呼吸后吸入一口纯净氧气的冲击)”可知,艺术可能会刺激一种突然的觉醒,给人带来震惊。由此推知,艺术会给人带来情绪方面的刺激。故选B项。
15. 细节理解题。根据尾段中的“If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in, you might see them as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity.(如果你认为艺术是纯粹的体验和参与的乐趣,你可能会把它们视为奢侈品,而更可取的态度是不要把艺术当作一种分散注意力的乐趣,而应更像锻炼或睡眠一样,视为一种必需品)”可知,作者建议将艺术当作生活必需品。故选C项。
16. 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life.(然后制定一个艺术接触之旅的时间表,逐渐将艺术融入你的日常生活)”可知,文章结尾建议制定计划、将艺术融入日常生活。由此推知,接下来很可能会具体介绍将艺术融入日常的方法。故选D项。

We found a parking space next to our hut, 1 was round and made from brick. The walls, 2 (paint) brilliant white, reflected the afternoon sun. There were five similar huts, all lined up 3 (face) Mount Kilimanjaro, the 4 (high) mountain in Africa. The mountain rose up over the plains before us. Tall grasses and trees 5 (dot) the plains, which were alive with the African wildlife we had come to see. Giraffes, with their long necks, were pulling leaves from the highest 6 (branch). 7 the distance, elephants were eating grass, ears flapping lazily as they moved slowly over the plains. I had never seen anything like this before. It was indeed the greatest show on the Earth.
We got out of the car, carrying our suitcases and boxes of food into the hut. I placed ham sandwiches, sausages and a bunch of bananas on a small wooden table. I returned to the car and fetched more possessions. It was then that I noticed a small grey monkey sitting on a tree a few metres away and eating a banana. “So cute,” I thought to 8 (me), until I realized 9 was my banana that he was eating. He was looking at me intently as he enjoyed the final 10 (mouth). I was sure he was saying, “Thank you.” “You're welcome,” I replied.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章描写了木屋周围的环境以及在屋外与小猴子的邂逅。
1. 考查非限制性定语从句。句意:我们在小屋旁边找到了一个停车位,小屋是圆形的砖砌的。先行词为our hut,指物,从句中缺少主语,根据逗号可知这里是非限制性定语从句,故填which。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意:墙体漆成耀眼的白色,反射着午后的阳光。The walls是主语,reflected 是谓语动词,空格处需要用非谓语动词,the walls 和paint之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语。故填painted。
3. 考查非谓语动词。句意:有五间类似的小屋排在一起都面向非洲最高山乞力马扎罗山。这里是非谓语动词作状语,主语five similar huts和face之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语。故填facing。
4. 考查形容词。句意:有五间类似的小屋排在一起都面向非洲最高山乞力马扎罗山。Mount Kilimanjaro和the highest mountain in Africa是同位语,乞力马扎罗山是非洲的最高山,所以用形容词的最高级。故填highest。
5. 考查动词时态。句意:高大的草地和树木点缀着平原,平原上充满了我们要来看的野生动物。dot是谓语动词,与主语tall grasses and trees之间是主动关系,所以要用主动语态,根据上下文的时态可知,这篇文章都是用的过去时,所以用一般过去时。故填dotted。
6. 考查名词。句意:长颈鹿们,长着长长的脖子,正在从最高的树枝上吃叶子。根据前面的giraffes可知不止一只长颈鹿,所以树枝也一定是复数,故填branches。
7. 考查介词。句意:远处,大象正在吃草,耳朵懒洋洋地拍打着,慢慢地在平原上移动。in the distance 是固定短语,意思是“在远处”,位于句首,要大写,故填In。
8. 考查代词。句意:“太可爱了,”我心想,直到我意识到他吃的是我的香蕉。think to oneself是固定短语,意思是“心想”,故填myself。
9. 考查强调句。句意:“太可爱了,”我心想,直到我意识到他吃的是我的香蕉。这是一个强调句,强调的是句子的宾语。强调句的句型为it is/was+被强调部分+that +句子的其余部分,故填it。
10. 考查名词。句意:他一边津津有味地吃着最后一口,一边专注地看着我。名词作宾语,再根据句意可知这里表示“一口”,故填mouthful。
