I personally think trains are exciting and romantic. I must admit that trains are not important means of transportation in the US but I do have some experiences with them.
When I was a child, growing up in a small town with very little entertainment, we used to go to the station to watch the passenger trains coming in. There was something exciting about the steaming, roaring string of trains coming into view around the mountains, slowly growing larger and louder and finally after their stop crowds of strangers spilling (漏出)onto the platform.
I took my first train trip when I was ten years old. I went with my elder sister to visit our cousins six hundred miles away. The train — so loud and violent on the outside — was gentle and rocking inside. We were very excited, and as that was also our first time away from our parents, we felt somewhat frightened too. However, because I had expected so much, I was a little disappointed when I was finally one of the passengers I had watched for so long.
As a college student, I used to ride an overnight train to my roommate's hometown. We could never afford a sleeper, so we played cards, sang, ate, read and talked until we finally fell uncomfortably asleep in the straight-backed seats.
My idea that trains are romantic may come from the fact that my husband and I took the train on our honeymoon, spending extra money to eat in the dining car, and looking out of the window as the desert scenery slid past.
Now, when I make a trip, I always fly or drive, and trains are not a very important part of my life. Still, every time I hear the train whistle far away on a quiet night, I can always feel the impulse in my heart to pack my bags and jump on board, entering a unique world of motions, sounds, sights and experiences which just aren't matched in the dull environment of an airplane.
4. Why did the author feel a little disappointed during the first train trip?
A. Because the train was loud and violent. B. Because she finally became a passenger.
C. Because she had a high expectation. D. Because she missed his parents.
5. It can be inferred from the passage that.
A. the author's childhood memory of trains was frightening and disappointing
B. the author no longer makes a trip by train now as a result of its dull environment
C. the author didn't fall asleep until she found straight-backed seats with her roommate
D. the author thought trains romantic mainly because of the pleasant moment with her husband
6. Which word best describes the author's feelings when she hears the train whistle now?
A. Eager. B. Embarrassed. C. Romantic. D. Disappointed.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. My Love of Trains B. Watching Trains Coming
C. My Memory of Trips D. Trains: My Best Choice
【答案】4 C 5. D 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。短文回忆了作者从小喜欢火车,喜欢乘火车之旅。每当作者在安静的夜晚听到火车远处的汽笛声,总是很激动。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, because I had expected so much, I was a little disappointed when I was finally one of the passengers I had watched for so long.”可知,然而,因为我期待的太多,当我终于成为我注视了这么久的乘客之一时,我有点失望。由此可知,为什么作者在第一次乘火车旅行时感到有点失望是因为她有很高的期望。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“My idea that trains are romantic may come from the fact that my husband and I took the train on our honeymoon, spending extra money to eat in the dining car, and looking out of the window as the desert scenery slid past.”可知,我之所以认为火车很浪漫,可能是因为我丈夫和我在度蜜月时坐火车,花额外的钱在餐车里吃东西,看着窗外沙漠景色徐徐而过。由此判断出,作者认为火车浪漫主要是因为与丈夫的愉快时刻。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, every time I hear the train whistle far away on a quiet night, I can always feel the impulse in my heart to pack my bags”可知,每当我在安静的夜晚听到火车远处的汽笛声,我总能感受到心中的冲动。由此判断出,“渴望的”最能描述作者听到火车汽笛声时的感受。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。短文回忆了作者从小喜欢火车,喜欢乘火车之旅。每当作者在安静的夜晚听到火车远处的汽笛声,总是很激动。所以短文的最佳标题为“我对火车的热爱”。故选A项。
C
The researchers drew a conclusion that orphaned (成为孤儿) elephants would be more stressed out than non-orphans. There’s a lot of evidence that the mother-child bond helps reduce stress in animals, which has been demonstrated previously in rats and birds, says the study leader Jenna Parker. Elephants have complicated social structures and deep family bonds. Because orphaned elephants in the same region die at a higher rate than elephants with living mothers, it seemed like a no-brainer that surviving orphans would be stressed out.
The team, however, made an unexpected finding: There really wasn’t a difference in the stress hormone (荷尔蒙) levels of orphaned and non-orphaned elephants, as long as they lived with family members, such as aunts, cousins, or brothers and sisters. Elephants — even the orphans — that lived in groups with fellows of their own age turned out to be under less stress than those that didn’t.
Parker recalls two orphans in the study, Frida and Rothko. “Frida had a non-functional left ear and Rothko had a non-functional right ear,” and they were inseparable, she says. “It was as though they had at least one good set of ears as long as they were together!” The findings also fit with previous social research in African elephants, Parker says. “Orphans increase interaction with their age mates after their mother’s death.” She notes that dominance is structured by age in elephants: Older elephants may outrank younger elephants when it comes to food, for example, but elephants of the same age are generally equals.
With human-wildlife conflict and drought threats to elephants in the region, the findings published today in Communications Biology offer a new insight into how having a strong fellow group may contribute to elephants’ survival. This information could also help recovery facilities that take in orphaned elephants set the animals up for a successful future in the wild — releasing them in large groups of bonded fellows, for example. “The bottom line here is that elephants need elephants,” says Parker. “And when the worst happens, like losing a mother, some find new ways to survive and grow happily.”
8. Why are family bonds and social structures mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To prove their connection. B. To explain their meanings.
C. To show their significance. D. To clarify their differences.
9. Which statement may Parker agree with?
A. Non-orphans outrank orphans in elephants.
B. Orphaned elephants are in need of their age mates.
C. Older elephants tend to attend to younger elephants.
D. Orphaned elephants prefer interaction with older elephants.
10. What does the author think of the team’s research findings?
A. They’re baseless. B. They’re novel.
C. They’re original. D. They’re predictable.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Hunting and Drought Are Major Threats to Elephants
B. Human Protection Helps Orphaned Elephants Survive
C. Living with Older Elephants May Contribute to Survival
D. Friends May Be Key to Stress Relief for Orphaned Elephants
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍同伴可以帮助孤儿大象缓解压力。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Elephants have complicated social structures and deep family bonds. Because orphaned elephants in the same region die at a higher rate than elephants with living mothers, it seemed like a no-brainer that surviving orphans would be stressed out.(大象有着复杂的社会结构和深厚的家庭关系。由于同一地区的孤儿大象的死亡率高于母亲健在的大象,因此幸存的孤儿压力很大似乎是显而易见的)”可推知,文中提到家庭关系和社会结构是为了说明它们对大象的意义。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The team, however, made an unexpected finding: There really wasn’t a difference in the stress hormone (荷尔蒙) levels of orphaned and non-orphaned elephants, as long as they lived with family members, such as aunts, cousins, or brothers and sisters. Elephants — even the orphans — that lived in groups with fellows of their own age turned out to be under less stress than those that didn’t.(然而,研究小组有了一个意想不到的发现:只要大象和家庭成员生活在一起,比如姨妈、表亲或兄弟姐妹,孤儿和非孤儿的大象的压力激素水平真的没有区别。事实证明,与同龄大象生活在一起的大象——甚至是孤儿大象——所承受的压力比那些不生活在一起的大象要小)”以及第三段中“Parker recalls two orphans in the study, Frida and Rothko. ‘Frida had a non-functional left ear and Rothko had a non-functional right ear,’ and they were inseparable, she says. ‘It was as though they had at least one good set of ears as long as they were together!’ The findings also fit with previous social research in African elephants, Parker says.(帕克回忆起研究中的两个孤儿,弗里达和罗斯科。“弗里达的左耳没有功能,罗斯科的右耳也没有功能,”他们形影不离,她说。“只要他们在一起,就好像他们至少有一副好耳朵一样!”帕克说,这些发现也符合之前对非洲象的社会研究)”可推知,帕克可能会同意孤儿大象需要同龄的伴侣的说法。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“With human-wildlife conflict and drought threats to elephants in the region, the findings published today in Communications Biology offer a new insight into how having a strong fellow group may contribute to elephants’ survival.(随着人类与野生动物的冲突和干旱对该地区大象的威胁,今天发表在《通讯生物学》上的研究结果为拥有一个强大的同伴如何有助于大象的生存提供了新的见解)”可知,作者认为这个团队的研究成果是新颖的。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍研究发现大象孤儿能从同龄大象那里得到帮助和陪伴,最终压力水平恢复正常。再结合第二段中“The team, however, made an unexpected finding: There really wasn’t a difference in the stress hormone levels of orphaned and non-orphaned elephants, as long as they lived with family members, such as aunts, cousins, or brothers and sisters. Elephants—even the orphans—that lived in groups with fellows of their own age turned out to be under less stress than those that didn’t.(然而,研究小组有了一个意想不到的发现:只要大象和家庭成员生活在一起,比如姨妈、表亲或兄弟姐妹,孤儿和非孤儿的大象的压力激素水平真的没有区别。事实证明,与同龄大象生活在一起的大象——甚至是孤儿大象——所承受的压力比那些不生活在一起的大象要小)”可知,D项“Friends May Be Key to Stress Relief for Orphaned Elephants(朋友可能是孤儿大象缓解压力的关键)”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选D项。
D
Smart Highway is a creative idea for smart roads of tomorrow: Smart Highway is the result of the teamwork between builder and developer Heijmans and designer Daan Roosegaarde.
Among them, Glowing Lines, the world’s first light-emitting (发光的) highway, is a safe and environment-friendly road. The site of the pilot project is a part of the N329 Highway in Oss, located in the province of Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands.
The road was built by Heijmans and was designed by Daan Roosegaarde, using light- emitting paints. The paints absorb ultraviolet light (紫外线) during the day and give it off for up to 10 hours at night. Solar energy panels (太阳能板) or other sources of power can provide energy to make sure that the road continues to provide light as required, despite weather or daylight hours.
The Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path is a creative path, inspired by Van Gogh’s The Starry Night and designed by Daan Roosegaarde. There are thousands of light-emitting stones, giving visitors an experience of poetry and design. The path gets energy at daytime and emits light during the night. It is supported by LED light to make sure of safety, quality and light during the whole night. Art and technology merge in this new, public view. The bicycle path is 600 metres long and is part of the Van Gogh cycling path.
The Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path is set up as a cultural and enjoyable road, based on the light-emitting technologies developed for the Smart Highway. Riding a bicycle at this site is a wonderful experience. Furthermore, the path is lit up in such an environment-friendly way without destroying the ecology. As a tourist attraction, the bicycle path also offers economic added value to the Eindhoven region: Visitors can experience the pathway in the evening and will likely stay in the region longer.
12. What can we know about the Glowing Lines?
A. It cannot provide light continuously in bad weather.
B. It brings light pollution to the environment.
C. It’s the result of the teamwork among builders, developers and designers.
D. It’s the only highway in the world which can emit light.
13. What does the underlined word “merge” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Come out. B. Take off. C. Take over. D. Mix together.
14. What can we infer about the Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path from the last paragraph?
A. It only attracts cyclists to Eindhoven.
B It should be built in other cities.
C. It can promote the local economy.
D. Its light has bad effects on ecology.
15. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To tell us what future roads are like.
B. To show the history of the road development.
C. To stress the high technology of the Netherlands.
D. To introduce two smart roads.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍两段智能道路:位于荷兰奥斯的N329高速路段的夜光公路和位于荷兰埃因霍温的梵高·罗斯加德自行车道。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Smart Highway is the result of the teamwork between builder and developer Heijmans and designer Daan Roosegaarde.(智能高速公路是建筑商、开发商Heijmans和设计师Daan Roosegaarde合作的结果)”和第二段中的“Among them, Glowing Lines, the world’s first light-emitting (发光的) highway, is a safe and environment-friendly road.(其中,世界上最早的发光高速公路Glowing Lines是一条安全、环保的道路)”可推知,Glowing Lines是属于智能高速公路之一,是建造商、开发商和设计师共同努力的结果。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path is a creative path, inspired by Van Gogh’s The Starry Night and designed by Daan Roosegaarde. There are thousands of light-emitting stones, giving visitors an experience of poetry and design. The path gets energy at daytime and emits light during the night. It is supported by LED light to make sure of safety, quality and light during the whole night.(梵高·罗斯加德自行车道是一条创意道路,灵感来自梵高的《星夜》,由丹·罗斯加德设计。这里有成千上万发光的石头,给游客一种诗意和设计的体验。这条路白天获得能量,晚上发光。采用LED灯支撑,保证安全、质量和夜间照明)”可知,梵高·罗斯加德自行车道构思源自梵高的著名作品《星夜》,同时整合了科技的元素,让艺术与科技融合,由此推知“Art and technology merge in this new”中merge是指“融合”,与mix together项意思相近。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As a tourist attraction, the bicycle path also offers economic added value to the Eindhoven region (作为一个旅游景点,自行车道也为埃因霍温地区提供了经济附加值)”可推知,梵高·罗斯加德自行车道促进了当地经济的发展。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了两段智能道路:位于荷兰奥斯的N329高速路段的夜光公路和位于荷兰埃因霍温的梵高·罗斯加德自行车道,所以文章目的是介绍两条智能道路。故选D项。
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。
Maybe you are probably getting an earful (训斥) from your inner voice. ___16___. Here are several ways to change your self- talk script and to use your inner voices to perform better.
Listen critically to your inner critic
In high- pressure situations, self- talk is often critical. Instead of thinking deliberately and logically, our inner voices are caused by emotion. That influences everything from how we talk to ourselves to our behaviors. ___17___. And when your inner voices start to fill with words of frustration and discouragement, pause the conversation as you consider ways to change it.
Create psychological distance from yourself
One effective way to manage stress is to create psychological distance. This can be achieved by using second- or third- person pronouns when referring to the situation. Asking yourself,“ Why are you feeling so stressed?” is one way to create the psychological distance you need to regulate emotion. ___18___.
Fit your conversation to your goal
___19___. Instructional self- talk like“ shoulders back” or“ keep the left arm straight” works to improve technique. Motivational self-talk such as“ you’ve got this” or“ keep going” can help with confidence, strength, or endurance. It’s important to be aware of the type of self-talk you are using and make sure it aligns with your goals and needs.
___20___
Demeaning or negative self- talk is only going to increase your stress and hold you back. Instead, speak compassionately to yourself — just as you would to a friend. Recreate negative messages to include positive content. “I am not good at this.” can be changed to“ Relax. You are prepared for this.” “I don’t know what to say.” can be replaced by“ Remember to smile and ask good questions.”
A. Treat yourself as a friend
B. Make as many friends as possible
C. Using instructional language is appropriate
D. Different types of self- talk work best for specific goals
E. So your first step is to listen critically to what you are saying to yourself
F. Often, negative comments in your head make it difficult for you to succeed
G. This way you might find your task an interesting challenge instead of a threat
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. G 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种帮助改善自我对话进而提升个人表现的方法,旨在引导学生注重与自我的沟通,从而更好地实现自己的目标。
【16题详解】
根据空前句“Maybe you are probably getting an earful (训斥) from your inner voice.(也许你可能听到了内心训斥的声音)”提到你可能从内心的声音中听到了长时间的数落;空后“Here are several ways to change your self- talk script and to use your inner voices to perform better.(这里有几个方法来改变你的自我对话脚本,用你内心的声音来表现得更好。)”可知,这里有几种方法可以改变你的自我对话脚本,并利用你的内心声音让你表现得更好。设空处位于段中,应承上启下。F项中的“ negative comments in your head”与空前句中的“ an earful from your inner voice”相呼应,且其中的“ make it difficult for you to succeed”与空后句中的“ perform better”相呼应。 因此,F选项“Often, negative comments in your head make it difficult for you to succeed(通常,你头脑中的负面评论会让你很难成功)”衔接上下文。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据后文“And when your inner voices start to fill with words of frustration and discouragement, pause the conversation as you consider ways to change it.(当你内心的声音开始充满沮丧和沮丧时,暂停谈话,考虑改变它的方法)”中提取的关系词“And”可知,设空处与空后句构成并列关系。空前句“In high- pressure situations, self- talk is often critical. Instead of thinking deliberately and logically, our inner voices are caused by emotion. That influences everything from how we talk to ourselves to our behaviors.(在压力很大的情况下,自言自语往往是至关重要的。我们内心的声音是由情感引起的,而不是有意识地、合乎逻辑地思考。这影响了从我们如何自言自语到我们的行为)”与内心的声音的消极影响相关,空后句与应对内心的声音的做法有关。根据设空处与空后句的并列关系可知,设空处锁定在E项。E项还与空前句构成因果关系,且该项中的“critically”是对小标题中的“critically”和段首句中的“critical”的原词及同根词复现。E选项“So your first step is to listen critically to what you are saying to yourself(因此,你的第一步是批判性地倾听你对自己说的话)”符合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据空前内容“One effective way to manage stress is to create psychological distance. This can be achieved by using second- or third- person pronouns when referring to the situation. Asking yourself,“ Why are you feeling so stressed?” is one way to create the psychological distance you need to regulate emotion.(管理压力的一个有效方法是创造心理距离。这可以通过使用第二人称或第三人称代词来实现。问自己:“为什么你感到这么有压力?”是一种创造心理距离的方法,你需要这种距离来调节情绪)”提到应对压力的一个有效方法是创造心理距离,并举例说明“问自己‘为什么你感到压力如此之大?’”是一种创造调节情绪所需的心理距离的方法。因此,设空处位于段尾,应能承接上文,与空前句提到的创造心理距离的方法相关,G选项“This way you might find your task an interesting challenge instead of a threat(这样你会发现你的任务是一个有趣的挑战而不是威胁)”说明了使用该方法的好处,且其中的“ This way”指代的正是空前句中的“Asking yourself, “Why are you feeling so stressed?””。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Fit your conversation to your goal(让你的对话符合你的目标)”可知,本段内容与不同自我对话类型和目标之间的联系相关。因此,设空处也应与此相关,故将答案锁定在D选项“Different types of self- talk work best for specific goals(不同类型的自言自语对特定的目标效果最好)”,其中的“goals”是对小标题中的“goal”的同词复现。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据本段内容“Demeaning or negative self- talk is only going to increase your stress and hold you back. Instead, speak compassionately to yourself — just as you would to a friend. Recreate negative messages to include positive content. “I am not good at this.” can be changed to“ Relax. You are prepared for this.” “I don’t know what to say.” can be replaced by“ Remember to smile and ask good questions.”(贬低或消极的自言自语只会增加你的压力,阻碍你前进。相反,你应该同情地对自己说话——就像对朋友说话一样。重新创造负面信息以包含积极内容。“我不擅长这个。可以改成“放轻松。”你已经准备好了。”“我不知道该说什么。可以用“记得微笑,问好问题”来代替)”可知,本段建议人们不要进行贬低性的或消极的自我对话,而要像对待朋友那样对自己说积极的话,A选项“Treat yourself as a friend(把自己当成朋友)”能很好地概括本段主旨。故选A。

Sandy and Jane came to see the jobo tree on the hilltop again. Jobos were their favorite fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill. They heard she was difficult, but that sometimes she would give fruit in return for an errand(差使)
The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. An elderly woman with a fierce look answered, staring down at the girls. “We heard …”said Sandy, her voice shaky, “that you give jobos in payment for running an errand.”
The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed them into the girls’ hands.“Go fill these with jobos, and come right back.”
The girls raced up the hill to the tree and filled the baskets with the ripest jobos. Back at the house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy. “Take this bag and one basket of jobos to the Brown family. And ask them for the payment,” the lady added with a tight smile.“If you return without the payment, you won’t get the fruit.”
The girls struggled all the way with the bag and the basket. When they were there, Mrs. Brown answered the door. Inside on the floor were three little children, each painting something on papers.
Mr. Brown was lying sick in bed.Times were hard.
The girls handed her the food.“This is from the lady with the jobo tree, ” said Sandy.
“She asked for the payment, too.”Jane said awkwardly.
“The payment! The payment!” The children repeated, waving the paper in their hands happily.
Sandy and Jane looked at each other strangely. With a smile, Mrs. Brown handed Sandy a large sealed(密封的)envelope so full that it was almost starting to break open. The girls said goodbye and left quickly. “I wonder,” Sandy murmured, “whether Mrs. Brown can afford to pay for that food.”

Worried, the two girls discussed what was in the envelope as they walked back. Tapping her chin, Sandy murmured, “If it’s money, that’s a great deal! If it’s not, what could it be?” Jane, lost in thought, didn’t reply at once. She placed her palms on envelope, reflected on the family and suddenly she claimed, “Paintings! It must be the girls’ paintings! After she explained to Sandy, they arrived at the old lady’s. Awkwardly, Jane handed the lady the envelope with trembling hands.
The lady opened the envelope, took out a pile of papers and smiled. On the papers were colorful drawings from the children. At this scene, Sandy and Jane looked at each other and smiled. Then, the girls gained their payment- a full basket of ripe jobos. For them, it turned out that their errand not only gained them their favorite fruit, but also a sweet taste of getting payment by their hard work. When they took a bite, the juice was as sweet as the feeling inside their heart.

I personally think trains are exciting and romantic. I must admit that trains are not important means of transportation in the US, but I do have some experiences with them.
When I was a child, growing up in a small town with very little entertainment, we used to go to the station to watch the passenger trains coming in. There was something exciting about the steaming, roaring string of trains coming into view around the mountains, slowly growing larger and louder and finally after their stop crowds of strangers spilling (漏出)onto the platform.
I took my first train trip when I was ten years old. I went with my elder sister to visit our cousins six hundred miles away. The train — so loud and violent on the outside — was gentle and rocking inside. We were very excited, and as that was also our first time away from our parents, we felt somewhat frightened too. However, because I had expected so much, I was a little disappointed when I was finally one of the passengers I had watched for so long.
As a college student, I used to ride an overnight train to my roommate's hometown. We could never afford a sleeper, so we played cards, sang, ate, read and talked until we finally fell uncomfortably asleep in the straight-backed seats.
My idea that trains are romantic may come from the fact that my husband and I took the train on our honeymoon, spending extra money to eat in the dining car, and looking out of the window as the desert scenery slid past.
Now, when I make a trip, I always fly or drive, and trains are not a very important part of my life. Still, every time I hear the train whistle far away on a quiet night, I can always feel the impulse in my heart to pack my bags and jump on board, entering a unique world of motions, sounds, sights and experiences which just aren't matched in the dull environment of an airplane.
4. Why did the author feel a little disappointed during the first train trip?
A. Because the train was loud and violent. B. Because she finally became a passenger.
C. Because she had a high expectation. D. Because she missed his parents.
5. It can be inferred from the passage that.
A. the author's childhood memory of trains was frightening and disappointing
B. the author no longer makes a trip by train now as a result of its dull environment
C. the author didn't fall asleep until she found straight-backed seats with her roommate
D. the author thought trains romantic mainly because of the pleasant moment with her husband
6. Which word best describes the author's feelings when she hears the train whistle now?
A. Eager. B. Embarrassed. C. Romantic. D. Disappointed.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. My Love of Trains B. Watching Trains Coming
C. My Memory of Trips D. Trains: My Best Choice
C
The researchers drew a conclusion that orphaned (成为孤儿) elephants would be more stressed out than non-orphans. There’s a lot of evidence that the mother-child bond helps reduce stress in animals, which has been demonstrated previously in rats and birds, says the study leader Jenna Parker. Elephants have complicated social structures and deep family bonds. Because orphaned elephants in the same region die at a higher rate than elephants with living mothers, it seemed like a no-brainer that surviving orphans would be stressed out.
The team, however, made an unexpected finding: There really wasn’t a difference in the stress hormone (荷尔蒙) levels of orphaned and non-orphaned elephants, as long as they lived with family members, such as aunts, cousins, or brothers and sisters. Elephants — even the orphans — that lived in groups with fellows of their own age turned out to be under less stress than those that didn’t.
Parker recalls two orphans in the study, Frida and Rothko. “Frida had a non-functional left ear and Rothko had a non-functional right ear,” and they were inseparable, she says. “It was as though they had at least one good set of ears as long as they were together!” The findings also fit with previous social research in African elephants, Parker says. “Orphans increase interaction with their age mates after their mother’s death.” She notes that dominance is structured by age in elephants: Older elephants may outrank younger elephants when it comes to food, for example, but elephants of the same age are generally equals.
With human-wildlife conflict and drought threats to elephants in the region, the findings published today in Communications Biology offer a new insight into how having a strong fellow group may contribute to elephants’ survival. This information could also help recovery facilities that take in orphaned elephants set the animals up for a successful future in the wild — releasing them in large groups of bonded fellows, for example. “The bottom line here is that elephants need elephants,” says Parker. “And when the worst happens, like losing a mother, some find new ways to survive and grow happily.”
8. Why are family bonds and social structures mentioned in paragraph 1?
A To prove their connection. B. To explain their meanings.
C. To show their significance. D. To clarify their differences.
9. Which statement may Parker agree with?
A. Non-orphans outrank orphans in elephants.
B. Orphaned elephants are in need of their age mates.
C. Older elephants tend to attend to younger elephants.
D. Orphaned elephants prefer interaction with older elephants.
10. What does the author think of the team’s research findings?
A. They’re baseless. B. They’re novel.
C. They’re original. D. They’re predictable.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Hunting and Drought Are Major Threats to Elephants
B. Human Protection Helps Orphaned Elephants Survive
C. Living with Older Elephants May Contribute to Survival
D. Friends May Be Key to Stress Relief for Orphaned Elephants
D
Smart Highway is a creative idea for smart roads of tomorrow: Smart Highway is the result of the teamwork between builder and developer Heijmans and designer Daan Roosegaarde.
Among them, Glowing Lines, the world’s first light-emitting (发光的) highway, is a safe and environment-friendly road. The site of the pilot project is a part of the N329 Highway in Oss, located in the province of Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands.
The road was built by Heijmans and was designed by Daan Roosegaarde, using light- emitting paints. The paints absorb ultraviolet light (紫外线) during the day and give it off for up to 10 hours at night. Solar energy panels (太阳能板) or other sources of power can provide energy to make sure that the road continues to provide light as required, despite weather or daylight hours.
The Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path is a creative path, inspired by Van Gogh’s The Starry Night and designed by Daan Roosegaarde. There are thousands of light-emitting stones, giving visitors an experience of poetry and design. The path gets energy at daytime and emits light during the night. It is supported by LED light to make sure of safety, quality and light during the whole night. Art and technology merge in this new, public view. The bicycle path is 600 metres long and is part of the Van Gogh cycling path.
The Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path is set up as a cultural and enjoyable road, based on the light-emitting technologies developed for the Smart Highway. Riding a bicycle at this site is a wonderful experience. Furthermore, the path is lit up in such an environment-friendly way without destroying the ecology. As a tourist attraction, the bicycle path also offers economic added value to the Eindhoven region: Visitors can experience the pathway in the evening and will likely stay in the region longer.
12. What can we know about the Glowing Lines?
A. It cannot provide light continuously in bad weather.
B. It brings light pollution to the environment.
C. It’s the result of the teamwork among builders, developers and designers.
D. It’s the only highway in the world which can emit light.
13. What does the underlined word “merge” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Come out. B. Take off. C. Take over. D. Mix together.
14. What can we infer about the Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path from the last paragraph?
A. It only attracts cyclists to Eindhoven.
B. It should be built in other cities.
C. It can promote the local economy.
D. Its light has bad effects on ecology.
15. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To tell us what future roads are like.
B. To show the history of the road development.
C. To stress the high technology of the Netherlands.
D. To introduce two smart roads.

Maybe you are probably getting an earful (训斥) from your inner voice. ___16___. Here are several ways to change your self- talk script and to use your inner voices to perform better.
Listen critically to your inner critic
In high- pressure situations, self- talk is often critical. Instead of thinking deliberately and logically, our inner voices are caused by emotion. That influences everything from how we talk to ourselves to our behaviors. ___17___. And when your inner voices start to fill with words of frustration and discouragement, pause the conversation as you consider ways to change it.
Create psychological distance from yourself
One effective way to manage stress is to create psychological distance. This can be achieved by using second- or third- person pronouns when referring to the situation. Asking yourself,“ Why are you feeling so stressed?” is one way to create the psychological distance you need to regulate emotion. ___18___.
Fit your conversation to your goal
___19___. Instructional self- talk like“ shoulders back” or“ keep the left arm straight” works to improve technique. Motivational self-talk such as“ you’ve got this” or“ keep going” can help with confidence, strength, or endurance. It’s important to be aware of the type of self-talk you are using and make sure it aligns with your goals and needs.
___20___
Demeaning or negative self- talk is only going to increase your stress and hold you back. Instead, speak compassionately to yourself — just as you would to a friend. Recreate negative messages to include positive content. “I am not good at this.” can be changed to“ Relax. You are prepared for this.” “I don’t know what to say.” can be replaced by“ Remember to smile and ask good questions.”
A. Treat yourself as a friend
B. Make as many friends as possible
C. Using instructional language is appropriate
D Different types of self- talk work best for specific goals
E. So your first step is to listen critically to what you are saying to yourself
F. Often, negative comments in your head make it difficult for you to succeed

Sandy and Jane came to see the jobo tree on the hilltop again. Jobos were their favorite fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill. They heard she was difficult, but that sometimes she would give fruit in return for an errand(差使)
The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. An elderly woman with a fierce look answered, staring down at the girls. “We heard …”said Sandy, her voice shaky, “that you give jobos in payment for running an errand.”
The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed them into the girls’ hands.“Go fill these with jobos, and come right back.”
The girls raced up the hill to the tree and filled the baskets with the ripest jobos. Back at the house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy. “Take this bag and one basket of jobos to the Brown family. And ask them for the payment,” the lady added with a tight smile.“If you return without the payment, you won’t get the fruit.”
The girls struggled all the way with the bag and the basket. When they were there, Mrs. Brown answered the door. Inside on the floor were three little children, each painting something on papers.
Mr. Brown was lying sick in bed.Times were hard.
The girls handed her the food.“This is from the lady with the jobo tree, ” said Sandy.
“She asked for the payment, too.”Jane said awkwardly.
“The payment! The payment!” The children repeated, waving the paper in their hands happily.
Sandy and Jane looked at each other strangely. With a smile, Mrs. Brown handed Sandy a large sealed(密封的)envelope so full that it was almost starting to break open. The girls said goodbye and left quickly. “I wonder,” Sandy murmured, “whether Mrs. Brown can afford to pay for that food.”
