Poppy beamed at herself in the mirror. Her new dress was absolutely perfect. It was her favorite colour of blue and had a row of bows (蝴蝶结) down the front.
Poppy’s mother was making her famous fruit juice. “My goodness, sweetheart, why are you dressed up today?” she asked. “I’m trying on my dress for picture day tomorrow,” Poppy explained. “I want to make sure everything is perfect.”
“Well, I think you’re already perfect,” her mom said. “Be careful. Don’t spill it.” Poppy rolled her eyes, grabbing a cup of fruit and gulping (大口地) it down.
Seconds later, her mom yelled, “Oh, sweetheart — you spilled your juice!” Poppy glanced down at the spots and gasped. She couldn’t go to school picture day like this! Her class picture would be in the yearbook forever. “It will be all right,” her mom said positively. “I’ll wash it tonight. It’ll be as good as new.”
The next morning Poppy grabbed her blue dress out of the laundry basket. She pulled it over her head, but something wasn’t right. Poppy couldn’t lower her arms, and the bows pulled tightly. “Oh, no!” Poppy cried. “My dress shrank!” She ran to her closet to find something else she could wear. Finally, in the back of the closet, Poppy found an old yellow dress. Nevertheless, it would have to do.
While waiting for the class’s turn, she hoped it would never come. Maybe the camera couldn’t work or it happened to rain cats and dogs!
The class marched onstage. “All right,” the photographer called. “I guess we all have something we don’t like about our looks. None of us is perfect.”
Poppy glanced at her classmates. Rosa had a bandage taped across her nose. Tom was pulling at his pants, trying to hide his mismatched socks. Lei flashed a Jack-o’-lantern grin, showing several missing teeth. We’re all different, she thought. Maybe that’s what makes us special. Poppy breathed a sigh of relief. “Cheese!” the photographer called out. The flash went off as the photographer snapped the picture of the yearbook. Poppy smiled her brightest. The picture day hadn’t gone the way she had planned. It had gone even better. “Perfect anyway!” she cried.
24. How did Poppy feel when she looked into the mirror?
A. Upset. B. Relaxed. C. Nervous. D. Excited.
25. What happened to Poppy’s new blue dress the next morning?
A. It was covered with spots. B. It got less bright in color.
C. It became too small to wear. D. It was broken when pulled down.
26. Why did Poppy think picture day was perfect in the end?
A. The photographer cheered her up and made her relieved.
B. She found her classmates on stage all liked their looks.
C She realized and accepted her difference and uniqueness.
D. The picture of the yearbook was satisfying as expected.
27. What can be learned from the story?
A. Our differences make us unique. B. Parents’ advice is always helpful.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. God helps those who help themselves.

After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.
Unlike common gyms that provide large open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, separate rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.
Every four-square-metre room provides a treadmill (跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains (窗帘) for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. But there’s no shower.
Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by a smartphone app, book a room in advance and then need to scan a QR code (二维码) for use. A refundable deposit (可退还的押金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 1 yuan every 5 minutes.
The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within several months since it was founded, the company has already raised over 100 million yuan. However, the idea of the shared fitness experience is not totally new. Last December, the company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.
The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident people are pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Centre published a report which says that the total value of China’s sharing economy will see a yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to make a great contribution to the country’s GDP.
28. What makes the shared gym room different from the common one?
A. Sharing open spaces. B. Providing free training courses.
C. Holding one person at a time. D. Having some advanced equipment.
29. What do people need to do to use the shared gym room?
A. Pay 100 yuan first. B. Book a room ahead of time.
C Have a shower before exercise. D. Let down curtains for privacy.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards China’s sharing economy?
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Worried. D. Positive.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce shared gym rooms. B. To praise a technology company.
C. To support the idea of sharing gym rooms. D. To tell the future of shared gym rooms.
D
In 1977, Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard graduate, decided to investigate the thought processes of another creature by talking to it. To do this, she would teach a one-year-old African gray parrot (鹦鹉), Alex, to reproduce the sound of the English language.
Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.
But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.
In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at. “What’s the same?” she asked. “Co-lor,” Alex responded without hesitation. “What’s different?” Pepperberg asked. “Shape,” Alex quickly replied. His voice had the soundh of a cartoon character. But the words—and what can only be called the thoughts—were entirely his. Many of Alex’s skils, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationnships and environments.
During the demonstration, as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain, Alex spoke up. “Talk clearly!” he commanded, when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching mispronounced the word “green”。
Alex knew all the answers himself and was getting bored. “He’s moody,” said Pepperberg, “so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.” Pepperberg was certainly learning more about the mind of a parrot, but like the parent of a troublesome teenager, she was learning the hard way.
32. Why did Pepperberg let the shop assistant choose the bird?
A. A bird with a small brain was needed.
B. She wanted a very smart bird for her study.
C. A research subject should be randomly chosen.
D. The shop assistant was better at choosing birds.
33. What might most researchers think of Pepperberg’s study at first?
A. Innovative.
B. Practical.
C Costly.
D. Fruitless.
34. Which of the following aspects of Alex’s ability did Pepperberg’s study focus on?
A. Understanding concepts.
B. Calculating.
C. Recognizing voices.
D. Creating English words.
35. What caused Pepperberg’s struggle in her study?
A. Her instructions had to be easy for Alex.
B. Alex was sometimes too clever to control.
C. Alex would point out other birds’ mistakes.
D. She had trouble understanding Alex’s mood.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Learn Vocabulary in a Foreign Language
It is not unusual that language learners regard vocabulary learning as the biggest block, especially in foreign language learning.____36____Try the following strategies to breeze through foreign language vocabulary tests and know words for life.
Trust flashcards. While they seem a little bit out of date, flashcards are still an effective way to learn vocabulary. They’re also cheap and easy to make. You can keep some flashcards on you and quiz yourself whenever you have a few spare minutes throughout the day. Traditional written cards are useful.___37___No matter which kind, the key to flashcards is repetition — use them often, and quiz yourself on old flashcards, too.
Employ multimedia sources to enrich your learning. Watching films and other videos in foreign languages gives you chances to learn new vocabulary and to hear how it is used in authentic speech. If you are interested in the sources, you are more likely to pay attention and learn.____38____Podcasts, YouTube videos, songs and similar sources can all be great ways to learn.
Work with new words rather than just look at them. Studies show that learners need to encounter words several times in different contexts before they really stick. To speed this process up, whenever you learn a new word, look at how it is used in context, and then follow a series of steps. Pronounce the word and spell it. Refer to a dictionary for the meaning of it.____39____
____40____ Practicing your foreign language with a local partner or someone who knows it well supercharges your learning. Not only will you have the chance to put your knowledge into action and build confidence in speaking, you’ll also learn new vocabulary from you partner. All while having fun!
A. Communicate with a fluent speaker.
B. So get the kind of the best quality.
C. However, it doesn’t have to be so painful!
D. Make up a sentence with it in your own words.
E. Practice copying it as often as you can to memorize it.
F. Creating virtual ones through apps is also a wise choice.
G. Therefore, it is of vital importance to choose some you prefer!

Poppy beamed at herself in the mirror. Her new dress was absolutely perfect. It was her favorite colour of blue and had a row of bows (蝴蝶结) down the front.
Poppy’s mother was making her famous fruit juice. “My goodness, sweetheart, why are you dressed up today?” she asked. “I’m trying on my dress for picture day tomorrow,” Poppy explained. “I want to make sure everything is perfect.”
“Well, I think you’re already perfect,” her mom said. “Be careful. Don’t spill it.” Poppy rolled her eyes, grabbing a cup of fruit and gulping (大口地) it down.
Seconds later, her mom yelled, “Oh, sweetheart — you spilled your juice!” Poppy glanced down at the spots and gasped. She couldn’t go to school picture day like this! Her class picture would be in the yearbook forever. “It will be all right,” her mom said positively. “I’ll wash it tonight. It’ll be as good as new.”
The next morning, Poppy grabbed her blue dress out of the laundry basket. She pulled it over her head, but something wasn’t right. Poppy couldn’t lower her arms, and the bows pulled tightly. “Oh, no!” Poppy cried. “My dress shrank!” She ran to her closet to find something else she could wear. Finally, in the back of the closet, Poppy found an old yellow dress. Nevertheless, it would have to do.
While waiting for the class’s turn, she hoped it would never come. Maybe the camera couldn’t work or it happened to rain cats and dogs!
The class marched onstage. “All right,” the photographer called. “I guess we all have something we don’t like about our looks. None of us is perfect.”
Poppy glanced at her classmates. Rosa had a bandage taped across her nose. Tom was pulling at his pants, trying to hide his mismatched socks. Lei flashed a Jack-o’-lantern grin, showing several missing teeth. We’re all different, she thought. Maybe that’s what makes us special. Poppy breathed a sigh of relief. “Cheese!” the photographer called out. The flash went off as the photographer snapped the picture of the yearbook. Poppy smiled her brightest. The picture day hadn’t gone the way she had planned. It had gone even better. “Perfect anyway!” she cried.
24. How did Poppy feel when she looked into the mirror?
A. Upset. B. Relaxed. C. Nervous. D. Excited.
25. What happened to Poppy’s new blue dress the next morning?
A. It was covered with spots. B. It got less bright in color.
C. It became too small to wear. D. It was broken when pulled down.
26. Why did Poppy think picture day was perfect in the end?
A. The photographer cheered her up and made her relieved.
B. She found her classmates on stage all liked their looks.
C. She realized and accepted her difference and uniqueness.
D. The picture of the yearbook was satisfying as expected.
27. What can be learned from the story?

C. Actions speak louder than words. D. God helps those who help themselves.

After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.
Unlike common gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, separate rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.
Every four-square-metre room provides a treadmill (跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains (窗帘) for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. But there’s no shower.
Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by a smartphone app, book a room in advance and then need to scan a QR code (二维码) for use. A refundable deposit (可退还的押金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 1 yuan every 5 minutes.
The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within several months since it was founded, the company has already raised over 100 million yuan. However, the idea of the shared fitness experience is not totally new. Last December, the company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.
The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident people are pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Centre published a report which says that the total value of China’s sharing economy will see a yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to make a great contribution to the country’s GDP.
28. What makes the shared gym room different from the common one?
A. Sharing open spaces. B. Providing free training courses.
C. Holding one person at a time. D. Having some advanced equipment.
29. What do people need to do to use the shared gym room?
A. Pay 100 yuan first. B. Book a room ahead of time.
C. Have a shower before exercise. D. Let down curtains for privacy.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards China’s sharing economy?
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Worried. D. Positive.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce shared gym rooms. B. To praise a technology company.
C. To support the idea of sharing gym rooms. D. To tell the future of shared gym rooms.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在中国出现的新兴产业:共享健身房以及共享健身房的一些特点和使用方法和这个项目的创立过程等。

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by a smartphone app, book a room in advance and then need to scan a QR code (二维码) for use.(与使用共享自行车类似,用户可以通过智能手机应用程序找到共享健身房的位置,提前预订房间,然后需要扫描二维码才能使用)”可知,人们需要提前预订房间才能使用共享健身房。故选B。
【30题详解】

【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并根据第一段“After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.(在自行车和雨伞在全中国实现了共享使用之后,一些公司开始关注健身市场,于是共享健身房在北京市的街头也出现了)”可知,文章介绍了在中国出现的新兴产业:共享健身房以及共享健身房的一些特点和使用方法和这个项目的创立过程等。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍共享健身房。故选A。

In 1977, Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard graduate, decided to investigate the thought processes of another creature by talking to it. To do this, she would teach a one-year-old African gray parrot (鹦鹉), Alex, to reproduce the sound of the English language.
Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.
But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.
In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at. “What’s the same?” she asked. “Co-lor,” Alex responded without hesitation. “What’s different?” Pepperberg asked. “Shape,” Alex quickly replied. His voice had the soundh of a cartoon character. But the words—and what can only be called the thoughts—were entirely his. Many of Alex’s skils, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationnships and environments.
During the demonstration, as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain, Alex spoke up. “Talk clearly!” he commanded, when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching mispronounced the word “green”。
Alex knew all the answers himself and was getting bored. “He’s moody,” said Pepperberg, “so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.” Pepperberg was certainly learning more about the mind of a parrot, but like the parent of a troublesome teenager, she was learning the hard way.
32. Why did Pepperberg let the shop assistant choose the bird?
A. A bird with a small brain was needed.
B. She wanted a very smart bird for her study.
C. A research subject should be randomly chosen.
D. The shop assistant was better at choosing birds.
33. What might most researchers think of Pepperberg’s study at first?
A. Innovative.
B. Practical.
C. Costly.
D. Fruitless.
34. Which of the following aspects of Alex’s ability did Pepperberg’s study focus on?
A. Understanding concepts.
B. Calculating.
C. Recognizing voices.
D. Creating English words.
35. What caused Pepperberg’s struggle in her study?
A. Her instructions had to be easy for Alex.
B Alex was sometimes too clever to control.
C. Alex would point out other birds’ mistakes.
D. She had trouble understanding Alex’s mood.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了1977年哈佛大学毕业生Irene Pepperberg决定通过与另一种生物交谈来研究它的思维过程,以及她研究鹦鹉的过程和遇到的困难。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird.(Pepperberg在一家宠物店买了Alex,她让店员挑选,因为她不想让其他科学家说她故意挑选了一只特别聪明的鸟。)”可知,Pepperberg让店员挑选那只鸟,是因为要随机选择研究对象。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.(考虑到Alex的大脑只有核桃那么大,大多数研究人员认为Pepperberg的交流研究是徒劳的。)”可知,大多数研究人员一开始认为Pepperberg的研究不会成功。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.(Pepperberg想深入他的大脑,了解更多关于鸟类对世界的理解。)”以及第四段中“Many of Alex’s skils, such as his ability to understand the concepts of ‘same’ and ‘different’, are rare in the animal world.(Alex的许多技巧,比如他理解‘相同’和‘不同'概念的能力,在动物界是罕见的。)”可知,Pepperberg的研究关注的是Alex的理解概念的能力。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘He’s moody,’ said Pepperberg, ‘so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.’ (‘他很情绪化,'Pepperberg说,‘所以他会打断别人,或者只是为了刁难别人而给出错误的答案。')”可知,Alex有时太聪明了,无法控制,导致Pepperberg在她研究中陷入困境。故选B项。

How to Learn Vocabulary in a Foreign Language
It is not unusual that language learners regard vocabulary learning as the biggest block, especially in foreign language learning.____36____Try the following strategies to breeze through foreign language vocabulary tests and know words for life.
Trust flashcards. While they seem a little bit out of date, flashcards are still an effective way to learn vocabulary. They’re also cheap and easy to make. You can keep some flashcards on you and quiz yourself whenever you have a few spare minutes throughout the day. Traditional written cards are useful.___37___No matter which kind, the key to flashcards is repetition — use them often, and quiz yourself on old flashcards, too.
Employ multimedia sources to enrich your learning. Watching films and other videos in foreign languages gives you chances to learn new vocabulary and to hear how it is used in authentic speech. If you are interested in the sources, you are more likely to pay attention and learn.____38____Podcasts, YouTube videos, songs and similar sources can all be great ways to learn.
Work with new words rather than just look at them. Studies show that learners need to encounter words several times in different contexts before they really stick. To speed this process up, whenever you learn a new word, look at how it is used in context, and then follow a series of steps. Pronounce the word and spell it. Refer to a dictionary for the meaning of it.____39____
____40____ Practicing your foreign language with a local partner or someone who knows it well supercharges your learning. Not only will you have the chance to put your knowledge into action and build confidence in speaking, you’ll also learn new vocabulary from you partner. All while having fun!
A. Communicate with a fluent speaker.
B. So get the kind of the best quality.
C. However, it doesn’t have to be so painful!
D. Make up a sentence with it in your own words.
E. Practice copying it as often as you can to memorize it.
F. Creating virtual ones through apps is also a wise choice.
G. Therefore, it is of vital importance to choose some you prefer!
