Parrots(鹦鹉) are prey animals, which means that other predators(捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other. Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night. As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively(本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves. Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose(吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind. As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change. 4. Which is TRUE about parrots according to the text? A. They are only attacked during the day B. They usually live in a group to protect themselves from attacks by predators C. Their first choice is to fight back when attacked D. Their biggest enemy is the lion. 5. What is parrots’ response to an immediate risk after failing to take flight? A. To fight back. B. To play dead. C. To protect the young. D. To make an escape 6. Why would a vacuum hose frighten a parrot? A. It may explode suddenly. B. It may look like a snake C. It may have a strong color. D. It may move around quickly. 7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give suggestions on raising a parrot. C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了鹦鹉作为猎物动物的生存习性及其对家养环境行为的影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators.(群体生活对保障鹦鹉的安全、提高它们在捕食者袭击中存活的几率起着重要作用。)”可知，它们群体生活为提高存活的几率。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.(然而，若无法飞走，它们会用强健的喙发起反击，以此保护自己。)”可知，鹦鹉面对危机时会保护自己。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose(吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.(例如，在鹦鹉眼中，一个气球可能像猛禽，而吸尘器软管或许和蛇没什么区别。)”可知，鹦鹉会将吸尘器软管误认为蛇。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.(从鹦鹉幼年时期开始，让它们接触安全的新体验与环境变化，以培养其灵活性、提升适应能力，这一点十分重要。饮食与玩具的多样化、带它们外出，以及让它们接触陌生人和新环境，这些都有助于增强鹦鹉的灵活性，使其更能适应变化。)”可知，此文是对如何养鹦鹉提出了一些建议。故选B。 C Water is the source of life. It plays an important part in our life, Without which we humans couldn’t live. In January, an Arizona desert community found itself in a terrible situation: The water was cut off. Rio Verde Foothills is made up of about 2,000 homes. For years, many in the community have depended on water trucked in from the nearby city of Scottsdale, which gets its water from the Colorado River. But the river is drying up. Now some people in Rio Verde Foothills must look after themselves. Arizona has increasingly pumped(用泵抽吸) water from underground, but that provides less than half of what the state needs. Some experts say the solution is to import water from outside of the state. One idea is to build a $5.5 billion desalination(海水淡化) factory on Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. Supporters say this could solve the problem for many years. However, some people see a different future. Imported water could damage the environment. Margaret Wilder is a professor at the University of Arizona, in Tucson. She warns that big projects like this one could be used to support or excuse the desert in the future. Environmentalists say the desalination project would harm the planet in several ways. Some of the salt taken out of the Sea of Cortez might end up back in the ocean, harming wildlife, The pipeline would damage land where people and animals live. And the desalination process would drain lots of energy. This would create greenhouse gases. As more water problems like the one in Rio Verde Foothills crop up, Wilder says she’s hopeful that Arizona will understand the risks of never-ending expansion(扩大) into the desert. People in Tucson, Arizona, have found a solution to the city’s water shortage: rainwater. Thousands of households are collecting it and using it for cooking, for drinking, and in their gardens. Government leaders have taken notice. The city now requires publicly built roads to collect stormwater. Tucson also helps residents pay for equipment that collects rainwater for home use. 8. Why is the water in the Rio Verde Foothills community getting less? A. People have been using too much water during their daily life. B. The population in this area is getting larger and larger C. The water from the Colorado River is becoming dry D. The nearby city has cut off its water supply. 9. What’s the Wilder’s attitude to the desalination factory? A. Doubtful. B. Thankful. C. Confident. D. Uninterested. 10. What does the underlined word “drain” in paragraph 3 mean? A. cost. B. provide. C. save. D. store. 11. What is the government of Tucson doing to solve its problem? A. Inventing new equipment to reuse water. B. Limiting the number of homes that can be built. C. Encouraging people to collect and use rainwater. D. Increasing the amount of water pumped from underground. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了水资源短缺的问题，以及人们为解决水资源短缺问题所采取的措施。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For years, many in the community have depended on water trucked in from the nearby city of Scottsdale, which gets its water from the Colorado River. But the river is drying up.(多年来，社区里的许多人都依靠从附近Scottsdale市运来的水，这些水来自科罗拉多河。但是这条河正在干涸。)”可知，供应它的河流里的水越来越少是造成水资源短缺的主要原因。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Margaret Wilder is a professor at the University of Arizona, in Tucson. She warns that big projects like this one could be used to support or excuse the desert in the future.(Margaret Wilder是Tucson市University of Arizona大学的一名教授。她警告称，此类大型项目未来可能会被用来支持开发沙漠，或是为破坏沙漠的行为找借口。)”可知，Wilder对海水淡化厂的态度是怀疑的。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Some of the salt taken out of the Sea of Cortez might end up back in the ocean, harming wildlife. The pipeline would damage land where people and animals live. And the desalination process would drain lots of energy. This would create greenhouse gases.(从Sea of Cortez中提取的一些盐可能最终会回到海洋中，伤害野生动物。管道将破坏人类和动物居住的土地。海水淡化过程需要_____大量的能源。这将产生温室气体。)”可知，这里均表示负面影响的词汇，所以这里drain表“消耗；花费”的意思，与A项cost“消耗”词义一致。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Thousands of households are collecting it and using it for cooking, for drinking, and in their gardens. The city now requires publicly built roads to collect stormwater.(成千上万的家庭正在收集雨水，并将其用于烹饪、饮用和花园中。该市现在要求公共修建的道路必须具备收集雨水（暴雨水）的功能。)”可知，Tucson市政府鼓励人们收集和使用雨水。故选C。 D Where there is a river, there is a city, meaning its geographical position is very important. Actually there are many factors in the course of building it. Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000. Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives. But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762. 12. Why did the early settlers come to New York City? A. Its business culture. B. Its small population. C. Its geographical location. D. Its suitable climate. 13. Which is TRUE about those who first dug for gold in Dawson? A. They got there without any difficulties B. They went there for gold and tour C. 20 percent of those going there got rich. D. Half of them died. 14. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson? (1) They found the city too crowded. (2) They wanted to try their luck elsewhere. (3) They were unable to stand the winter. (4) The gold that Dawson depended on had all been found (5) They were short of food. A. (1)(3) B. (4)(2) C. (4)(5) D. (2)(5) 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The growth and decline of Dawson B. The gold rush in Dawson. C. The rapid growth of Dawson D. Tourism in Dawson. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍城市兴起的地理因素，以纽约和道森为例，重点讲述道森因淘金热兴衰的历程。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.(城市通常有其存在的充分理由，比如附近的港口或河流。人们定居在这些地方是因为它们交通便利，天生适合通信和贸易。例如，纽约市靠近哈德逊河河口的一个大型港口。)”可知，早期定居者来到纽约市是因为其优越的地理位置（靠近港口和河流，交通便利）。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich.(在最初的2万名淘金者中，有4000人发了财。)”可知，4000占20000的20%，即前往道森的淘金者中有20%发了财，C项表述正确；故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.(但很快，道森所依赖的黄金就被开采殆尽了。这座城市挤满了失望的人们，他们没有定居的兴趣，当他们听说阿拉斯加有新的金矿发现时，就像来时一样迅速地离开了道森市。)”可知，人们离开道森的主要原因是：道森的黄金已被采尽（4），且他们想前往阿拉斯加碰碰运气（2）。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章先以纽约为例说明城市兴起的地理因素，随后重点讲述道森市的发展历程：1896年仍是荒野，1897年因发现黄金迅速崛起为西部大城市，后因黄金枯竭，人们纷纷离去，如今旅游业成为其主要产业。因此，文章核心是围绕道森市的兴衰展开。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项有两项为多余选项。 The suggestions about listening in English exams In our daily communication, English is playing an important part in our communication.

My 12th birthday came at last. What a wonderful feeling it was to know that I turned twelve and that I might possibly get the thing I wanted most. I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box wrapped up (包装) with nice pink paper with flowers on it. When I removed the paper and opened the box, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had got a cell phone I ran to give my mom and dad the biggest hug ever, and said, “You’ re welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy. But we give you this not only because you have turned twelve but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades.” I said confidently that I would. As soon as I got to school the next morning I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts (联系人) on the first day. It felt like I didn’t even exist in that class any more. I didn’t pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. I texted my friends, surfed the Internet for stories or played games. Luckily, I didn’t get caught using it. I had formed a habit of secretly enjoying my phone in class. But I was pretty sure that the teachers did notice that I stopped paying attention to them, because a week later we took a test and I failed. What’s worse, my parents had to sign the test. 注意：1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After getting home, I was afraid to face my parents but I had to. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After what happened, I decided to change everything I used to do. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After getting home, I was afraid to face my parents but I had to. After looking through the test result, I had thought that they would scold me heavily. However, I was completely wrong. They asked me about the reason for which I failed the test. I didn’t dare to tell a lie, and told them it was the phone they had bought for me that led to my poor scores. When figuring out the cause, they said, “We truly believe in you. We hope you can learn from this failure, change your old ways, and really strive to be a better student. Success will be yours.” After what happened, I decided to change everything I used to do. Firstly, I handed in my phone to my parents and came home early right after school every day. Once I finished my homework, I’d help my parents with some housework. I hardly used my phone any more. Then in class, I’d listen carefully as before. Gradually, my school performance improved and I got good grades again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者 12 岁生日时，父母因他在学校表现好送给他一部手机。但作者拿到手机后在课堂上不专心，偷偷玩手机，导致考试不及格，父母需要在试卷上签字。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回到家后，我害怕面对父母，但又不得不面对”可知，第一段可描述作者原本以为父母会严厉责骂，然而父母询问考试失败原因，作者如实告知是手机导致，父母表达对他的信任并希望他吸取教训努力改进。 ②由第二段首句内容“在发生这些事情之后，我决定改变我过去的一切做法”可知，第二段可描述作者将手机交给父母，每天早回家，完成作业后帮父母做家务，课堂上认真听讲，最终学习成绩提高。 2. 续写线索：作者害怕面对父母——父母询问原因——表达信任与期望——作者决定改变——采取行动——最终成绩提高 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①浏览，翻阅：look through /browse ②责骂：scold /blame ③上交：hand in/turn in ④改进：improve /better 情绪类 ①信任：believe in /trust ②认真地：carefully /intently 【点睛】【高分句型 1】After looking through the test result, I had thought that they would scold me heavily.

B In the wild every animal has its own unique ways to protect itself from being harmed, the ways they use are various. Parrots(鹦鹉) are prey animals, which means that other predators(捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other. Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night. As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively(本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves. Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose(吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind. As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change. 4. Which is TRUE about parrots according to the text? A. They are only attacked during the day B. They usually live in a group to protect themselves from attacks by predators C. Their first choice is to fight back when attacked D. Their biggest enemy is the lion. 5. What is parrots’ response to an immediate risk after failing to take flight? A. To fight back. B. To play dead. C. To protect the young. D. To make an escape 6. Why would a vacuum hose frighten a parrot? A. It may explode suddenly. B. It may look like a snake C. It may have a strong color. D. It may move around quickly. 7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give suggestions on raising a parrot. C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology. C Water is the source of life. It plays an important part in our life, Without which we humans couldn’t live. In January, an Arizona desert community found itself in a terrible situation: The water was cut off. Rio Verde Foothills is made up of about 2,000 homes. For years, many in the community have depended on water trucked in from the nearby city of Scottsdale, which gets its water from the Colorado River. But the river is drying up. Now some people in Rio Verde Foothills must look after themselves. Arizona has increasingly pumped(用泵抽吸) water from underground, but that provides less than half of what the state needs. Some experts say the solution is to import water from outside of the state. One idea is to build a $5.5 billion desalination(海水淡化) factory on Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. Supporters say this could solve the problem for many years. However, some people see a different future. Imported water could damage the environment. Margaret Wilder is a professor at the University of Arizona, in Tucson. She warns that big projects like this one could be used to support or excuse the desert in the future. Environmentalists say the desalination project would harm the planet in several ways. Some of the salt taken out of the Sea of Cortez might end up back in the ocean, harming wildlife, The pipeline would damage land where people and animals live. And the desalination process would drain lots of energy. This would create greenhouse gases. As more water problems like the one in Rio Verde Foothills crop up, Wilder says she’s hopeful that Arizona will understand the risks of never-ending expansion(扩大) into the desert. People in Tucson, Arizona, have found a solution to the city’s water shortage: rainwater. Thousands of households are collecting it and using it for cooking, for drinking, and in their gardens. Government leaders have taken notice. The city now requires publicly built roads to collect stormwater. Tucson also helps residents pay for equipment that collects rainwater for home use. 8. Why is the water in the Rio Verde Foothills community getting less? A. People have been using too much water during their daily life. B. The population in this area is getting larger and larger C. The water from the Colorado River is becoming dry D. The nearby city has cut off its water supply. 9. What’s the Wilder’s attitude to the desalination factory? A. Doubtful. B. Thankful. C. Confident. D. Uninterested. 10. What does the underlined word “drain” in paragraph 3 mean? A. cost. B. provide. C. save. D. store. 11. What is the government of Tucson doing to solve its problem? A. Inventing new equipment to reuse water. B. Limiting the number of homes that can be built. C. Encouraging people to collect and use rainwater. D. Increasing the amount of water pumped from underground. D Where there is a river, there is a city, meaning its geographical position is very important. Actually there are many factors in the course of building it. Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000. Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives. But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762. 12. Why did the early settlers come to New York City? A. Its business culture. B. Its small population. C. Its geographical location. D. Its suitable climate. 13. Which is TRUE about those who first dug for gold in Dawson? A. They got there without any difficulties B. They went there for gold and tour C. 20 percent of those going there got rich. D. Half of them died. 14. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson? (1) They found the city too crowded. (2) They wanted to try their luck elsewhere. (3) They were unable to stand the winter. (4) The gold that Dawson depended on had all been found (5) They were short of food. A. (1)(3) B. (4)(2) C. (4)(5) D. (2)(5) 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The growth and decline of Dawson B. The gold rush in Dawson. C. The rapid growth of Dawson D. Tourism in Dawson. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项有两项为多余选项。 The suggestions about listening in English exams In our daily communication, English is playing an important part in our communication.

My 12th birthday came at last. What a wonderful feeling it was to know that I turned twelve and that I might possibly get the thing I wanted most. I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box wrapped up (包装) with nice pink paper with flowers on it. When I removed the paper and opened the box, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had got a cell phone I ran to give my mom and dad the biggest hug ever, and said, “You’ re welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy. But we give you this not only because you have turned twelve but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades.” I said confidently that I would. As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts (联系人) on the first day. It felt like I didn’t even exist in that class any more. I didn’t pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. I texted my friends, surfed the Internet for stories or played games. Luckily, I didn’t get caught using it. I had formed a habit of secretly enjoying my phone in class. But I was pretty sure that the teachers did notice that I stopped paying attention to them, because a week later we took a test and I failed. What’s worse, my parents had to sign the test. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After getting home, I was afraid to face my parents but I had to. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After what happened, I decided to change everything I used to do. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
