Now, it is available (可用的) in 14 countries, including Australia, China, France, the UK, etc. Dog TV goes on the 24th of July. Its service costs $9.99 a month. If you order a yearly service, it will save you about $3.74 each month. Believe it or not, Dog TV didn’t start as a TV channel for dogs. The idea for Pet TV came from Ron Levi. To let his cat Charlie have fun while he was out. Ron did some research and began to work with scientists and pet experts to bring his idea to life. To their surprise, dogs showed more interest in different kinds of programs than cats. Pet TV finally became Dog TV. Dog TV was developed to entertain and comfort stay-at-home dogs. It provides relaxing video and music for dogs. Each program is about 3 to 6 minutes. The programs are different from time to time during the day. In the morning, programs are to get dogs out of bed and moving for the day. In the middle of the day, programs are to calm dogs while they are home alone. For dogs scared of things like cars or loud noises, Dog TV has special programs with pictures and sounds to help them get used to the things they fear. The channel even has educational programs on health and training. A lot of thought goes into the making of every Dog TV program. Dog TV turned to animal experts to create suitable shows for dogs’ seeing and hearing. Dogs are color-blind (色盲的). They can only see blue and yellow, and they can’t see red or green. So the Dog TV show might sound and look a little different to people’s ear and eye. But don’t worry. Dog TV also has programs for pet parents, too. 25. How much may it cost a month to order one year’s service at a time? A. $3.74 B. $6.25 C. $9.99 D. $13.73 26. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How Dog TV started B. The programs of Dog TV C. The hard work behind Dog TV D. Where people can watch Dog TV 27 Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Dog TV’s programs? A. Morning programs can wake up the dogs. B. Midday programs can make the dogs quiet. C. They are all about video and music for dogs to relax. D. Special programs can make dogs get used to things they fear. 28. What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph? A. Why dogs are color-blind. B. The future plan of Dog TV. C. The programs for pet owners. D. How Dog TV programs are made. 【答案】25. B 26. A 27. C 28. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了专为狗狗打造的电视频道Dog TV。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“  Its service costs $ 9.99 a month. If you order a yearly service, it will save you about $ 3.74 each month.” 可知，按月订购是9.99美元，年订每月可省3.74美元，因此年订每月费用是9.99-3.74=6.25美元。故选B。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Dog TV didn’t start as a TV channel for dogs”可知，第二段主要讲述了Dog TV的起源，从最初为猫设计的Pet TV，因狗的兴趣更高而转变为Dog TV。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Dog TV was developed to entertain and comfort stay-at-home dogs. It provides relaxing video and music.”，以及“The channel even has educational programs on health and training.”可知，Dog TV 不仅有放松的视频和音乐，还有健康和训练的教育节目，并非“所有节目都是关于让狗狗放松的视频和音乐”。故选C。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Dog TV also has programs for pet parents, too.”可知，最后一段提到了为宠物主人准备的节目，因此接下来可能会介绍这些针对宠物主人的节目。故选C。 C ① There may be no place more dangerous than Death Valley (死亡大峡谷). Death Valley is the hottest and driest place in North America. ②Death Valley isn’t an easy place to live in. It gets less than two feet of rain a year and it’s hot, too. In July, the temperature often gets over 46℃. There is even a lake that has turned into salt crystals (晶体). But it is cold at night. When it gets cold enough, the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice. Then the strong wind—like a large hand—can move the rocks along the icy ground. That is why the rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley. ③The weather condition (状况) in Death Valley is terrible, but it is still full of life. Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home. People have found more than 1,000 kinds of plants there. It also has 51 kinds of mammals (哺乳动物), 6 kinds of fish, and more than 300 kinds of birds. The animals aren’t all small, either. ④Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives there. Some plants have roots that go fifty feet under the ground to find water. Kangaroo rats (更格卢鼠) get the water they need from flowers. ⑤Death Valley really makes a lot of surprises! 29. Death Valley is the ________ place in North America. A. safest B. hottest C. wettest D. coldest 30 The rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley because ________. A. it gets less than two feet of rain a year in Death Valley B. the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice C. the strong wind can move the rocks along the icy ground D. the weather condition in Death Valley is really terrible 31. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 4? A. By giving examples. B. By asking questions. C. By giving suggestions. D. By telling stories. 32. Which is the best structure of the passage? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①/②③④⑤ D. ①/②③④/⑤ 【答案】29. B 30. C 31. A 32. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国的死亡大峡谷。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Death Valley is the hottest and the driest place in North America.”可知，死亡大峡谷是北美最热的地方。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Then the strong wind—like a large hand—can move the rocks along the icy ground. That is why the rocks can ‘walk’ on their own in Death Valley.”可知，强风可以使岩石沿着结冰的地面移动，所以死亡大峡谷的石头会“走路”。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives there.”可知，寻找水源对这里的生物来说是最大的挑战；再根据“Some plants have roots that go fifty feet under the ground to find water. Kangaroo rats (更格卢鼠) get the water they need from flowers.”可知，有些植物的根深入地下50英尺寻找水，更格卢鼠从花中获得所需的水。由此推知作者是通过举例的方式来阐述他的观点的。故选A。 【32题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段是总述死亡大峡谷是一个危险的地方；第二、三、四段介绍了死亡大峡谷的气温、天气状况和生物生存情况；第五段是总结全文。因此本文的结构为总—分—总。故选D。 D It can be really awkward (尴尬的) if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don’t feel bad about it! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits. You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Speaking out loud is like showing this quiet inner (内在的) speech. It can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work. When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence (自信). A 2009 study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group. Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings. “Referring to (指代) yourself in the third person leads people to think about themselves more similar to how they think about others,” said Jason Moser, a professor from Michigan State University, US. This can help us see things from a different point of view, especially when we’re feeling sad or angry. Self-talk also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study published (发表) in the journal Memory. It’s because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if said out loud. 33. What might the word ”benefits” mean in Paragraph 1? A. strange ideas B. healthy ways C. special needs D. good sides 34. According to Paragraph 3, what can self-talking help to do? A. Find out who the best players are. B. Develop a player’s skills. C. Improve one’s confidence. D. Change a person’s character. 35. Which way of self-talk can help people see things more widely? A. “Is there anything we can do for her?” B. “I have tried my best. Just do what I can.” C. “What can Annie do to make the situation better?” D. “You are the strongest person I’ve ever met.” 36. According to the last paragraph, reading out loud can . A. help listeners have long-term memory B. help one remember things longer C. help to memorize things very quickly D. make more people know the information 【答案】33. D 34. C 35. C 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章通过科学研究证据，从提升自信心、管理负面情绪和改善记忆力等方面，阐述了自言自语对心理和认知功能的多种益处。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits.”和第二段内容“You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Speaking out loud is like showing this quiet inner (内在的) speech. It can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work.”可知，思考对大脑有益，大声说话可以帮助我们在不同领域做得更好，这些都是自言自语的好处。由此可推测，下划线单词“benefits”的中文意思是“好处、优势”，与good sides意思相近。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence (自信).”可知，自言自语可以帮助提高一个人的自信。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“‘Referring to (指代) yourself in the third person leads people to think about themselves more similar to how they think about others,’ said Jason Moser, a professor from Michigan State University, US. This can help us see things from a different point of view, especially when we’re feeling sad or angry.”可知，美国密歇根州立大学教授杰森·莫泽说:“用第三人称称呼自己会让人们认为自己和别人更相似。”。这可以帮助我们从不同的角度看问题，尤其是当我们感到悲伤或愤怒的时候。由此可推测，“安妮能做些什么来改善这种情况？”的自言自语的方式可以帮助人们更广泛地看待事物。故选C。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Self-talk also helps improve memory.…Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study published (发表) in the journal Memory.”可知，大声朗读可以帮助一个人更长久地记住事情。故选B。 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 其中有一个多余的选项。 Chinese writing is one of the world’s greatest writing systems. ____37____ More than half of the world’s books are written in Chinese, including historical writings and novels, along with writings on government and law.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国文字这一世界上最伟大的书写系统之一，包括其历史发展、重要性以及在当今世界的传播和影响。 【37题详解】 根据下文“More than half of the world’s books are written in Chinese, including historical writings and novels, along with writings on government and law.”可知，世界上超过一半的书籍都是用中文写的，包括历史著作、小说以及政府和法律方面的著作，这说明中文书写系统的使用范围非常广泛。B选项“它比其他书写系统使用得更广泛”符合语境。故选B。 【38题详解】 根据上文“At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based language. It dates back several thousand years to the use of animal bones and shells (贝壳).”可知，最初，中文是一种基于图画的语言，可以追溯到几千年前使用动物骨头和贝壳的时代。D选项“古代中国人用刀在它们上面刻写符号”承接上文。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Emperor Qin Shihuang united (统一) the main states into one country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction.”可知，秦始皇统一了主要国家，使中文书写系统开始朝着一个方向发展。C选项“多年来，这个系统发展成了不同的形式”承接上文，说明在秦始皇统一之前，中文书写系统可能经历了不同的发展阶段和形式，为后文秦始皇统一书写系统做了铺垫。故选C。 【40题详解】 根据下文“As China plays a great role in the world, many international students are beginning to enjoy China’s culture through this amazing language. Written Chinese spreads Chinese culture wherever it goes.”可知，随着中国在世界上的重要作用日益凸显，许多国际学生开始通过这种神奇的语言来欣赏中国文化，中文书写系统无论走到哪里都在传播中国文化。E选项“今天，中文书写系统仍然是中国文化的重要组成部分”承接上文，强调了中文书写系统在当今中国文化中的重要地位。故选E。 三、完形填空(共 10 小题，每题 1 分;满分 10 分) Tom likes to spend time with his grandfather.

It is more like a guide and an important tool for farming and daily life of Chinese people. It’s said that in ancient times there was a young man named Wan Nian. He thought that there were natural rules for the change of seasons and climate, and wanted to find out the special rules of nature. When he climbed the mountain, he was inspired by the shadows (影子) of trees on the mountain, and made a sundial (日晷) that measured the shadow of the sun to fix the time. As time went on, he found that every more than three hundred and sixty days, the length of the day would repeat itself. When Wan Nian knew that the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, Zu Yi, was worried because of the uncertainty of the time, he nominated (推荐) himself to create a calendar for the country and help all the people. After the long-term study, Wan Nian worked out an exact calendar called “Tai Yang Li”. When he presented it to the emperor, Wan Nian was an old man with white hair. The emperor was very moved. To praise the achievements of Wan Nian, he named the solar calendar Wan Nian Li. In memory of (为了纪念) Wan Nian, people called the first day of a year “Nian”, so the Chinese New Year was born. 61.

Computer Science B Dog TV, the first television channel (频道) for dogs, appeared in America in 2012. Now, it is available (可用的) in 14 countries, including Australia, China, France, the UK, etc. Dog TV goes on the 24th of July. Its service costs $9.99 a month. If you order a yearly service, it will save you about $3.74 each month. Believe it or not, Dog TV didn’t start as a TV channel for dogs. The idea for Pet TV came from Ron Levi. To let his cat Charlie have fun while he was out. Ron did some research and began to work with scientists and pet experts to bring his idea to life. To their surprise, dogs showed more interest in different kinds of programs than cats. Pet TV finally became Dog TV. Dog TV was developed to entertain and comfort stay-at-home dogs. It provides relaxing video and music for dogs. Each program is about 3 to 6 minutes. The programs are different from time to time during the day. In the morning, programs are to get dogs out of bed and moving for the day. In the middle of the day, programs are to calm dogs while they are home alone. For dogs scared of things like cars or loud noises, Dog TV has special programs with pictures and sounds to help them get used to the things they fear. The channel even has educational programs on health and training. A lot of thought goes into the making of every Dog TV program. Dog TV turned to animal experts to create suitable shows for dogs’ seeing and hearing. Dogs are color-blind (色盲的). They can only see blue and yellow, and they can’t see red or green. So the Dog TV show might sound and look a little different to people’s ear and eye. But don’t worry. Dog TV also has programs for pet parents, too. 25. How much may it cost a month to order one year’s service at a time? A. $3.74 B. $6.25 C. $9.99 D. $13.73 26. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How Dog TV started B. The programs of Dog TV C. The hard work behind Dog TV D. Where people can watch Dog TV 27. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Dog TV’s programs? A. Morning programs can wake up the dogs. B. Midday programs can make the dogs quiet. C. They are all about video and music for dogs to relax. D. Special programs can make dogs get used to things they fear. 28. What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph? A. Why dogs are color-blind. B. The future plan of Dog TV. C. The programs for pet owners. D. How Dog TV programs are made. C ① There may be no place more dangerous than Death Valley (死亡大峡谷). Death Valley is the hottest and driest place in North America. ②Death Valley isn’t an easy place to live in. It gets less than two feet of rain a year and it’s hot, too. In July, the temperature often gets over 46℃. There is even a lake that has turned into salt crystals (晶体). But it is cold at night. When it gets cold enough, the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice. Then the strong wind—like a large hand—can move the rocks along the icy ground. That is why the rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley. ③The weather condition (状况) in Death Valley is terrible, but it is still full of life. Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home. People have found more than 1,000 kinds of plants there. It also has 51 kinds of mammals (哺乳动物), 6 kinds of fish, and more than 300 kinds of birds. The animals aren’t all small, either. ④Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives there. Some plants have roots that go fifty feet under the ground to find water. Kangaroo rats (更格卢鼠) get the water they need from flowers. ⑤Death Valley really makes a lot of surprises! 29 Death Valley is the ________ place in North America. A. safest B. hottest C. wettest D. coldest 30. The rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley because ________. A. it gets less than two feet of rain a year in Death Valley B. the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice C. the strong wind can move the rocks along the icy ground D. the weather condition in Death Valley is really terrible 31. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 4? A. By giving examples. B. By asking questions. C. By giving suggestions. D. By telling stories. 32. Which is the best structure of the passage? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①/②③④⑤ D. ①/②③④/⑤ D It can be really awkward (尴尬的) if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don’t feel bad about it! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits. You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Speaking out loud is like showing this quiet inner (内在的) speech. It can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work. When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence (自信). A 2009 study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group. Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings. “Referring to (指代) yourself in the third person leads people to think about themselves more similar to how they think about others,” said Jason Moser, a professor from Michigan State University, US. This can help us see things from a different point of view, especially when we’re feeling sad or angry. Self-talk also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study published (发表) in the journal Memory. It’s because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if said out loud. 33. What might the word ”benefits” mean in Paragraph 1? A. strange ideas B. healthy ways C. special needs D. good sides 34. According to Paragraph 3, what can self-talking help to do? A. Find out who the best players are. B. Develop a player’s skills. C. Improve one’s confidence. D. Change a person’s character. 35. Which way of self-talk can help people see things more widely? A. “Is there anything we can do for her?” B. “I have tried my best. Just do what I can.” C. “What can Annie do to make the situation better?” D. “You are the strongest person I’ve ever met.” 36. According to the last paragraph, reading out loud can . A. help listeners have long-term memory B. help one remember things longer C. help to memorize things very quickly D. make more people know the information 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 其中有一个多余的选项。 Chinese writing is one of the world’s greatest writing systems. ____37____ More than half of the world’s books are written in Chinese, including historical writings and novels, along with writings on government and law.

It is more like a guide and an important tool for farming and daily life of Chinese people. It’s said that in ancient times there was a young man named Wan Nian. He thought that there were natural rules for the change of seasons and climate, and wanted to find out the special rules of nature. When he climbed the mountain, he was inspired by the shadows (影子) of trees on the mountain, and made a sundial (日晷) that measured the shadow of the sun to fix the time. As time went on, he found that every more than three hundred and sixty days, the length of the day would repeat itself. When Wan Nian knew that the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, Zu Yi, was worried because of the uncertainty of the time, he nominated (推荐) himself to create a calendar for the country and help all the people. After the long-term study, Wan Nian worked out an exact calendar called “Tai Yang Li”. When he presented it to the emperor, Wan Nian was an old man with white hair. The emperor was very moved. To praise the achievements of Wan Nian, he named the solar calendar Wan Nian Li. In memory of (为了纪念) Wan Nian, people called the first day of a year “Nian”, so the Chinese New Year was born. 61.
