Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific (科学) research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then come back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
26. How can a certain kind of ants find their way?
A. By counting their steps. B. By bringing food together.
C. By walking through a forest. D. By sensing the earth’s magnetic field (磁场).
27. What does the underlined word “mystery” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Choice. B. Reasons. C. Secret. D. Feeling.
28. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph?
A. To help animals. B. To travel at night.
C. To keep city lights on. D. To change the environment.
29. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
30. What’s the best title for this passage?
A Birds’ Sense of Light B. Fish’s Sense of Smell
C. Animals’ Sense of Direction D. Animals’ sense of the earth’s magnetic field (磁场)

In every culture, there are great heroes that are loved and respected. People celebrate their birth or death to remember them. These celebrations gradually become important festivals that can reflect (反映) key values of a culture. What festivals are celebrated to remember great people in Western countries?
Each year on the third Monday of January, people in the US celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. Day. People reflect on the work that he has done for racial equality (种族平等).
King, an African-American, was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1929. In that part of the country at that time, the mixing of races in places like schools, buses and restaurants was against the law. He experienced racial prejudice (偏见) from the time he was very young, so he decided that he should fight for the equality of all.
King believed that peaceful refusal (拒绝) to follow the unfair law was the best way to bring changes. He led people to march (游行) on streets. He joined black people’s sit-ins. He also inspired a large number of people with his speeches. One of his best known speeches is I Have a Dream.
On April 4, 1968, King was killed. In 1986, Martin Luther King Jr. Day became a national holiday in the US. People celebrate it by having parades (游行), community service projects and other activities. For example, students can go to libraries to read books about the civil rights movement, or visit a museum about African American history.

【导语】本文讲述了作者渴望拥有自己的公寓并独居的心情。在大学第一年作者终于租到公寓,开始按照自己的喜好装饰和生活,但感到空虚。一次聚会后,这种感觉更加明显,直到家人意外来访举办惊喜派对,作者才意识到家的重要性,之后每周回家一次,体会到没有什么能比家更温暖。
【1题详解】
句意:我爱我的家庭,但是我真想要我自己的地方。
so所以;or或者;but但是。根据“I love my family”和“I really wanted my own place”可知,这里前后句意发生了转折。故选C。
【2题详解】
句意:我知道有一天我将会有我自己的地方。
couldn’t不可能;mustn’t禁止;would将会。分析句子结构,这是一个宾语从句,根据主句中“I knew”可知,主句使用一般过去时,从句也要使用相应的过去时态。“one day”表示将来的时间,所以这里要使用过去将来时,结构为would+动词原形。故选C。
【3题详解】
句意:当我开始上大学的第一年,我被允许租一套公寓。
was allowed被允许(一般过去时被动语态);allowed允许(一般过去时主动语态);is allowed(一般现在时被动语态)。分析句子可知,我和允许租公寓是被动关系,且根据前文的“started”,此处表示的是过去的事情。故选A。
【4题详解】
句意:我父母问我下一步做什么。
what什么;whether是否;why为什么。分析句子可知,此句为宾语从句,缺少do后的宾语,whether和why不能充当宾语成分,且不符合句意。故选A。
【5题详解】
句意:所以我打电话叫了一些朋友过来开派对。
have举行(原形);to have举行(不定式);having举行(动名词)。根据空前“I called some friends”可知,我打电话叫朋友来是为了开派对,动词不定式可以表示目的。故选B。
【6题详解】
句意:聚会结束后,我感觉比以前更好了。
good好的;better更好的;best最好的。根据空后“than before”可知,是过去和现在对比,要用比较级。故选B。
【7题详解】
句意:当我坐在沙发上思考时,门铃响了。
will sit将坐(一般将来时);am sitting正在坐(现在进行时);was sitting正在坐(过去进行时)。根据空后“the doorbell rang”可知,从句时态为过去进行时。故选C。
【8题详解】
句意:我是多么高兴啊!
How多么;What多么;What a多么。分析句子结构再根据感叹句句型:How+ adj.+主语+谓语!可知,此处要用How引导。故选A。
【9题详解】
句意:他们带来了食物和饮料并且我们玩得很开心。
a一个;an一个;the表特指。have a good time表示玩得开心,过得愉快,是固定短语。故选A。
【10题详解】
句意:那次聚会后,我每周去我家一次,因为我知道没有一个地方像家一样。
behind在……之后;about关于;like像。根据“I visited my family once a week”可知,因为没有地方像家一样,所以才每周回家一次。故选C。
二、完型填空(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
通读下列短文,掌握其大意,然后在各小题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案,并将答题卡上对应的题目所选的选项涂黑。

【11题详解】
句意:我们一落座,女服务员就拿着两份菜单向我们走来。
plates盘子;menus菜单;chairs椅子;meals餐食。根据下文“I said when I was still looking at the menu.”可知,此处指菜单。故选B。
【12题详解】
句意:祖母是一位素食主义者,所以她总是需要更多的时间来点她想吃的食物。
always总是;never从不;hardly几乎不;seldom几乎。根据下文“But I am an easy eater and can always quickly…my food when we eat out.”可知,祖母点餐的情况和作者是相反的,作者很快就点好了自己想吃的食物,而祖母总是要花更多的时间来点餐。故选A。
【13题详解】
句意:我是一位易食者,当我们出去吃饭的时候,我总是能很快地选择我的食物。
share分享;sell卖;cook烹饪;choose选择。根据下文“One bottle of apple juice and one burger,”可知,此处指选择食物。故选D。
【14题详解】

unhappy不高兴的;sad伤心的;excited兴奋的;glad高兴的。根据下文“Peter, can you possibly be more…and look at people in the eye when you talk to them, please?”可知,祖母认为彼得这样点餐是不礼貌的,所以应该是不高兴的。故选A。
【18题详解】
句意:彼得,你能不能更礼貌一点,和别人说话的时候看着他们的眼睛,好吗?
polite礼貌的;quick快速的;quiet安静的;clear清楚的。根据“look at people in the eye when you talk to them”可知,此处表示希望彼得能礼貌一些。故选A。
【19题详解】
句意:祖母总是很有礼貌,我不想让她失望。
refuse拒绝;want想要;feel感觉;need需要。根据下文“looked at the waitress in the eye and said…”可知,此处表示作者不想让祖母失望。故选B。

Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场) while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then come back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
26. How can a certain kind of ants find their way?
A. By counting their steps. B. By bringing food together.
C. By walking through a forest. D. By sensing the earth’s magnetic field (磁场).
27. What does the underlined word “mystery” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Choice. B. Reasons. C. Secret. D. Feeling.
28. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph?
A. To help animals. B. To travel at night.
C. To keep city lights on. D. To change the environment.
29. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
30. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Birds’ Sense of Light B. Fish’s Sense of Smell

In every culture, there are great heroes that are loved and respected. People celebrate their birth or death to remember them. These celebrations gradually become important festivals that can reflect (反映) key values of a culture. What festivals are celebrated to remember great people in Western countries?
Each year on the third Monday of January, people in the US celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. Day. People reflect on the work that he has done for racial equality (种族平等).
King, an African-American, was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1929. In that part of the country at that time, the mixing of races in places like schools, buses and restaurants was against the law. He experienced racial prejudice (偏见) from the time he was very young, so he decided that he should fight for the equality of all.
King believed that peaceful refusal (拒绝) to follow the unfair law was the best way to bring changes. He led people to march (游行) on streets. He joined black people’s sit-ins. He also inspired a large number of people with his speeches. One of his best known speeches is I Have a Dream.
On April 4, 1968, King was killed. In 1986, Martin Luther King Jr. Day became a national holiday in the US. People celebrate it by having parades (游行), community service projects and other activities. For example, students can go to libraries to read books about the civil rights movement, or visit a museum about African American history.
