A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了射击场志愿者的职责、工作时间、所需工具和设备及身体要求等信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Volunteers are the important source of information and help for visitors. They are a main part of the visitor experience at the range and can make sure visitors have an excellent and safe experience.(志愿者是游客信息和帮助的重要来源。他们是游客体验的主要部分，可以确保游客有一个良好的和安全的体验。)”可知，射击场志愿者的职责是确保游客的安全。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Working Time部分中“● Free start and stop dates are allowed, but volunteers are required to sign up on a yearly basis. ● Volunteers may work between 1-20 hours per week, but no more than 4 hours per day. (●允许自由开始和结束日期，但志愿者需要每年注册一次。●志愿者每周可以工作1-20小时，但每天不超过4小时。)”可知，志愿者可以随时开始工作，但需要按年注册。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Physical Requirements部分中“● Volunteers must make right amount of physical effort (such as hiking over a long path) and/ or carrying and lifting heavy objects(up to 50 pounds).(●志愿者必须进行适量的体力劳动（如在一条很长的小路上徒步旅行）和/或搬运重物（最多50磅）。)”可知，志愿者在值班时需要承担繁重的工作。故选A。 B Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. With over 40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety. He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started, with Mei’s effort encouraging many, and it was quickly picked up by villagers in Shixia. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.” Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined. Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.” 4. What made Mei Jingtian decide to protect the Great Wall? A. The dream of being a hero. B. The influence of his friends. C. Poor condition of the Great Wall. D. Encouragement from the villagers. 5. What do the underlined words “picked up” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Recognised. B. Finished. C. Managed. D. Developed. 6. Which of the following best describes Mei Jingtian? A. Careful and confident. B. Kind-hearted and humorous. C. Creative and curious. D. Responsible and strong-willed. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. A lifelong guardian of the Great Wall. B. Villagers’ deep love for the Great Wall. C. The progress in protecting the Great Wall. D. A practical Great Wall protection program. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了梅景田毕生致力于保护长城事迹，他最初决定志愿成为长城守护者，后来他努力组织和鼓励他人加入保护长城的行列。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. (然而，1979年，当他在外面工作多年后回到石峡时，他被老城墙的可怕状况震惊了。梅说：“一些村民甚至用石头盖房子。”为了保护这一奇迹，梅自愿成为一名守护者，每天巡逻20公里，防止人们拿石头、在墙上写字或乱扔垃圾)”可知，残破的长城使梅景田决定保护长城。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线部分的下文“Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. (意识到保护的重要性，越来越多的人归还了他们带走的石头，加入了梅的巡逻)”可知，当地村民意识到要保护长城，开始着手进行保护计划。由此可知，长城保护计划得到了这里的村民的认可，画线部分意思应该与Recognised“认可，承认”一致。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. (即使在80岁的时候，梅景田仍然在石峡关长城巡逻)”、第二段中“To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. (为了保护这一奇迹，梅自愿成为一名守护者，每天巡逻20公里，防止人们拿石头、在墙上写字或乱扔垃圾)”和第三段中“In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. (2006年，作为村长，梅成立了一个志愿者保护组织，100名村民中约有80人作为守护人加入)”可知，梅景田志愿做长城的守护者，每天巡逻，防止长城被破坏，成立志愿者保护组织，80岁还在坚守这一使命。这些展现了他的责任感和坚强意志。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. (即使在80岁的时候，梅景田仍然在石峡关长城巡逻)”可知，文章围绕梅景田毕生致力于保护长城的事迹展开，他最初决定志愿成为长城守护者，后来他努力组织和鼓励他人加入保护长城的行列，即文章主要是关于长城的终身守护者。故选A项。 C In the first half of the twentieth century Karl von Frisch, a scientist who studied animal behavior, changed our impression of honey bees by discovering the “waggle (摇摆) dance”, which may not be considered as a language, but a form of communication. It was one of our first understandings that bees do something like what we call “thinking”. Clint Perry, a scientist at Queen Mary University of London, has spent much time studying how bees think. He gave bees a choice between landing on a place above a black bar (横木) or a place below it. If they landed above the bar, they would find a delicious sugary drink. If they chose the place below the black bar, they found a terrible drink. He made the test harder or easier by moving the landing places farther from or closer to the black bar. But bees also had the choice of avoiding the task if they weren’t sure they would succeed. Perry found that bees avoided the test when it was difficult and gave it a try when it was easy. Perry pointed out that we can’t know for sure from tests like this whether bees are actually judging by their own knowledge or simply quitting the task because of an unhappy connection with the terrible drink. Scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. No one is suggesting that bees are as smart as humans, at least not when it comes to things like memory and language. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information. We may also have to rethink how we view the rest of the insect world. There are a lot of small creatures (生物) flying around in the garden. Who knows what those tiny minds might be able to do? 8. Why does the author mention Karl von Frisch in the first paragraph? A. To introduce a famous scientist. B. To change the impression of bees. C. To show early study of bees’ thinking. D. To stress the importance of bees’ study. 9. How did Clint Perry make the task difficult? A. By setting more choices. B. By giving challenging orders. C. By making landing places farther. D. By reducing the sweet level of the drinks. 10. What is Clint Perry’s attitude to the result of the research? A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Insects’ thinking ability will improve. B. The number of small insects will increase. C. Study on insects’ brains has a long way to go. D. Insects’ life habits will be a focus of research. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了Clint Perry对于研究蜜蜂的思考行为的实验，并表明其他的昆虫大脑也值得研究。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In the first half of the twentieth century, Karl von Frisch, a scientist who studied animal behavior, changed our impression of honey bees by discovering the “waggle (摇摆) dance”, which may not be considered as a language, but a form of communication. It was one of our first understandings that bees do something like what we call “thinking”.(在二十世纪的前半段，研究动物行为的科学家卡尔·冯·弗里希通过发现“摇摆舞”改变了人们对蜜蜂的印象。这种“摇摆舞”或许不能被视为一种语言，而是一种交流方式。这是我们对蜜蜂行为的最初理解之一，即它们的行为类似于我们所说的“思考”)”可知，第一段提及Karl von Frisch的发现“摇摆舞”是为了展示蜜蜂是会思考的，该发现是蜜蜂行为的早期研究。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He made the test harder or easier by moving the landing places farther from or closer to the black bar.(他把着陆点移得离黑条更远或更近，从而使测试变得更困难或更容易)”可知，Clint Perry通过把着陆点设置得更远来加大任务难度。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Perry pointed out that we can’t know for sure from tests like this whether bees are actually judging by their own knowledge or simply quitting the task because of an unhappy connection with the terrible drink.(佩里指出，通过这类测试我们无法确切得知蜜蜂究竟是凭借自身的知识来进行判断，还是仅仅因为与那杯难喝的饮料产生了不愉快的关联而放弃了任务)”可知，Clint Perry对于这个实验的结果不是十分确定。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We may also have to rethink how we view the rest of the insect world. There are a lot of small creatures (生物) flying around in the garden. Who knows what those tiny minds might be able to do?(我们或许还得重新审视我们对昆虫世界的整体看法。花园里到处都有各种小昆虫在飞舞。谁知道这些微小的生物的大脑究竟能发挥出怎样的能力呢？)”可知，最后一段表明还有其他的昆虫的大脑也值得研究，对昆虫大脑的研究还有很长的路要走。故选C。 D Little kids are much more likely to remember a thing that is unimaginable to them, a team reports in the journal PNAS. Feigenson, an expert at Johns Hopkins University and Aimee Stahl of The College of New Jersey did an experiment that included 335 2-and 3-year-olds. “We wanted to know how little kids think about possibilities,” Feigenson says. Their first challenge was getting the attention of kids that young, so the scientists designed a special machine filled with toys. It turns out that the chance to put a little coin in a machine and get a prize is a drive to kids. When the little kids got a toy from the machine, the scientists told them it had a made-up name: Blick. Later, they were asked to point to the Blick among many toys. When the little kids knew the transparent (透明的) machine held Blicks, they were unsurprised by their prize and usually forgot its name. This was true even when the machine had only one or two Blicks among lots of other toys. But the little kids behaved very differently when they got a Blick from a machine that appeared to have none, a seemingly impossible thing. “Often, “kids’ eyes get wide, and their mouths open, and they look at their mom in surprise that this has happened,” Feigenson says. Moreover, when little kids met this completely unexpected result, they usually remembered the Blick’s name. They are really driven to learn. The results further prove that even very young children learn better when they meet the unexpected, says Andrew Shtulman, an expert at Occidental College. “It causes a level of surprise that leads to more attention, better understanding of the things, and better continuous attention of those things later on,” he adds, “If you want children to learn something deeply and for a long time, you go against their expectations before introducing that information.” 12. What does the experiment focus on? A Little kids’ imagination. B. Little kids’ rememberance. C. Little kids’ curiosity about learning. D. Little kids’ behaviour to possibilities. 13. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in paragraph 3? A. They had no interest in the result. B. They had no confidence in winning. C. They had difficulty in concentrating. D. They did well in telling the difference. 14. How did little kids find the machine without Blicks? A. They were amazed. B. They were annoyed. C. They were satisfied. D. They were frightened. 15. What is Andrew Shtulman’s suggestion on children’s learning? A. Offer information directly. B. Teach them as they expect. C. Provide more teaching methods. D. Surprise the kids to learn better. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Feigenson和Aimee Stahl做的一个关于儿童对可能性的认知和记忆的实验，以及实验结果对于儿童学习方式的启示。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““We wanted to know how little kids think about possibilities,” Feigenson says.(费根森说：“我们想知道小孩子是如何看待各种可能性的”)”可知，这个实验主要关注的是孩子们对可能性的认知和记忆。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“When the little kids got a toy from the machine, the scientists told them it had a made-up name: Blick. Later, they were asked to point to the Blick among many toys. When the little kids knew the transparent (透明的) machine held Blicks, they were unsurprised by their prize and usually forgot its name.(当孩子们从机器里拿到一个玩具时，科学家们告诉他们这个玩具有一个虚构的名字：Blick。之后，他们被要求在许多玩具中指出Blick。当孩子们知道透明的机器里装着Blick时，他们对奖品并不感到惊讶，而且通常会忘记它的名字)”可知，从一个透明机器里拿到Blick时孩子们似乎对奖品并不感兴趣，结合even表示递进关系可知，划线词所在句子指“即使这台机器在许多其他玩具中只有一两个Blick，他们对结果也不感兴趣”。故this指的是“他们对结果不感兴趣”。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Often, “kids’ eyes get wide, and their mouths open, and they look at their mom in surprise that this has happened,” Feigenson says.(费根森说，通常情况下，“孩子们会睁大眼睛，张大嘴巴，惊讶地看着妈妈。”)”可知，孩子们发现没有Blick的机器时，他们感到惊讶，故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The results further prove that even very young children learn better when they meet the unexpected, says Andrew Shtulman, an expert at Occidental College. “It causes a level of surprise that leads to more attention, better understanding of the things, and better continuous attention of those things later on,” he adds, “If you want children to learn something deeply and for a long time, you go against their expectations before introducing that information.”(西方学院的专家Andrew Shtulman说，研究结果进一步证明，即使是很小的孩子，在遇到意外情况时也能学得更好。他补充说：“它会引起一定程度的惊讶，从而导致更多的注意力，更好地理解事物，并在以后更好地持续关注这些事物。如果你想让孩子们长期深入地学习一些东西，那么在介绍这些信息之前，你不顺着他们的期望。”)”可知，Andrew Shtulman的建议是给孩子惊讶，让他们学得更好。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) I have a terrible sense of direction, so without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, but also I’d feel lost. ___16___. If you want to get confidence on the road or be less dependent on GPS to get around, here are some steps you can take to improve your sense of direction. Turn off your GPS and get lost on purpose. Next time you go for a walk, go down a road you’ve not walked and see where it ends up or take the beautiful road to your favorite restaurant or coffee shop. ___17___ . The goal is to get comfortable with getting lost and moving through the world without a map. Use landmarks to guide yourself. Not sure if you’re north, south, east or west from home? ___18___. The perfect landmark is large and far away, like a big sign, a highway, or a bridge which can serve as a better mark of direction. Use memory tricks (技巧) to remember where you are. People with a good sense of direction know their streets. If you have no sense of direction, you can try some expert methods. Keep street names and roads in mind by using stories and tricks to lock things in. ___19___. These methods may not turn you into an expert guide able to find your way out of being lost. ___20___. And you can use them to gain a better sense of ownership over your environment. A. Driving with GPS brings trouble sometimes. B. Pick landmarks in town to help guide yourself. C. But they can reduce any anxiety about getting lost. D. It gives you an idea of how the streets are connected. E. Then see if you can make it back home without a GPS. F. This is especially helpful when street names are hard to know. G. However, dependence on GPS can lead to a narrower view of your environment. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了不利用GPS，培养方向感的一些方法。 【16题详解】 前文“I have a terrible sense of direction, so without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, but also I’d feel lost.(我的方向感很差，所以如果没有GPS（全球定位系统）的指引，我不仅会迷路，而且会感到迷路)”可知，作者描述自己方向感很差，需要借助GPS引导；后文“If you want to get confidence on the road or be less dependent on GPS to get around, here are some steps you can take to improve your sense of direction.(如果你想在路上获得信心，或者少依赖GPS出行，这里有一些你可以采取的步骤来提高你的方向感)”表明下文介绍减少对于GPS的依赖提高自身方向感的措施，推断空处应该写出依赖GPS的坏处，G选项“然而，对GPS的依赖会导致你对环境的视野更窄”与前文转折，说明对于GPS依赖的坏处。故选G。 【17题详解】 前文“Next time you go for a walk, go down a road you’ve not walked and see where it ends up or take the beautiful road to your favorite restaurant or coffee shop.(下次你去散步的时候，走一条你没走过的路，看看它会停在哪里，或者走一条美丽的路去你最喜欢的餐厅或咖啡店)”表明步行时要走一条从未走过的路，不依赖GPS，E选项“然后看看你能不能在没有GPS的情况下回家”同样表明不用GPS的情况，符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 前文“Not sure if you’re north, south, east or west from home?(不确定你是在家的北、南、东还是西边)”引出问题，空处引提出解决方案，结合后文“The perfect landmark is large and far away, like a big sign, a highway, or a bridge which can serve as a better mark of direction.(完美的地标是又大又远的，像一个大的标志，一条公路或一座桥，可以作为更好的方向标志)”可知，空处应表示利用路标，B选项“选择城里的地标来帮助你自己”符合语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 前文“Keep street names and roads in mind by using stories and tricks to lock things in.(使用故事和技巧来记住街道名称和道路，以便在需要时能够迅速找到它们)”表示可以通过记住街道名称和道路来认路，F选项“当街道名称很难知道时，这尤其有用”中This指代“使用故事和技巧来记住街道名称和道路”，同样表示利用街道名称和道路来认路。故选F。 【20题详解】 前文“These methods may not turn you into an expert guide able to find your way out of being lost.(这些方法可能无法让你成为一名能够在迷路时找到出路的专家导游)”表明这些方法不会让自己成为专家导游，空处应描述这些方法的实际用处，C选项“但它们可以减少迷路的焦虑”符合语境，与前文语境一致。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Waters’ strong confidence made her the top of her game — she holds number one in tennis in Florida.

After only a month in school, she began to come home from time to time asking for pencils, crayons (蜡笔), paper, etc. At first I just provided whatever she needed, never questioning her. After ongoing requests for objects that should have easily lasted a mere six weeks of fourth grade, I became worried and asked her, “Gina, what are you doing with your school items?” She would always reply with an answer that satisfied me. One day, after offering the same thing only a week earlier, I became angry with her asking for more and seriously asked her once more, “Gina! what is going on with your school items?” Knowing her excuses would no longer work, she lowered her head and began to cry. I lifted her tiny chin (下巴) and looked into those big brown eyes, filled now with tears. “What?! What is wrong?” My mind was filled with all kinds of ideas. Had she been bullied by another child? Was she giving her items to him or her to keep from being hurt? I couldn’t imagine what was going on, but I knew it was something serious for her to cry. I waited for what seemed like a year for her to answer. “Mom,” she began, “there is a boy in my class; he doesn’t have any of the items he needs to do his work. The other kids make fun of him because his papers are in a mess and he only has two crayons to color with. I have been putting the new items you bought me in his desk before the others come in, so he doesn’t know it’s me. Please don’t get mad at me, Mom. I didn’t mean to tell you a lie, but I didn’t want anyone to know it was me.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My heart dropped as I stood there in disbelief. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My heart dropped as I stood there in disbelief.

We could never forget his expressions when we delivered the donations to the boy. He just stared at the gifts in shock but with gratitude.

With over 40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety. He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started, with Mei’s effort encouraging many, and it was quickly picked up by villagers in Shixia. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.” Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined. Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.” 4. What made Mei Jingtian decide to protect the Great Wall? A. The dream of being a hero. B. The influence of his friends. C. Poor condition of the Great Wall. D. Encouragement from the villagers. 5. What do the underlined words “picked up” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Recognised. B. Finished. C. Managed. D. Developed. 6. Which of the following best describes Mei Jingtian? A. Careful and confident. B. Kind-hearted and humorous. C. Creative and curious. D. Responsible and strong-willed. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. A lifelong guardian of the Great Wall. B. Villagers’ deep love for the Great Wall. C. The progress in protecting the Great Wall. D. A practical Great Wall protection program. C In the first half of the twentieth century, Karl von Frisch, a scientist who studied animal behavior, changed our impression of honey bees by discovering the “waggle (摇摆) dance”, which may not be considered as a language, but a form of communication. It was one of our first understandings that bees do something like what we call “thinking”. Clint Perry, a scientist at Queen Mary University of London, has spent much time studying how bees think. He gave bees a choice between landing on a place above a black bar (横木) or a place below it. If they landed above the bar, they would find a delicious sugary drink. If they chose the place below the black bar, they found a terrible drink. He made the test harder or easier by moving the landing places farther from or closer to the black bar. But bees also had the choice of avoiding the task if they weren’t sure they would succeed. Perry found that bees avoided the test when it was difficult and gave it a try when it was easy. Perry pointed out that we can’t know for sure from tests like this whether bees are actually judging by their own knowledge or simply quitting the task because of an unhappy connection with the terrible drink. Scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. No one is suggesting that bees are as smart as humans, at least not when it comes to things like memory and language. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information. We may also have to rethink how we view the rest of the insect world. There are a lot of small creatures (生物) flying around in the garden. Who knows what those tiny minds might be able to do? 8. Why does the author mention Karl von Frisch in the first paragraph? A. To introduce a famous scientist. B. To change the impression of bees. C. To show early study of bees’ thinking. D. To stress the importance of bees’ study. 9. How did Clint Perry make the task difficult? A. By setting more choices. B. By giving challenging orders. C. By making landing places farther. D. By reducing the sweet level of the drinks. 10. What is Clint Perry’s attitude to the result of the research? A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain. 11 What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Insects’ thinking ability will improve. B. The number of small insects will increase. C. Study on insects’ brains has a long way to go. D. Insects’ life habits will be a focus of research. D Little kids are much more likely to remember a thing that is unimaginable to them, a team reports in the journal PNAS. Feigenson, an expert at Johns Hopkins University and Aimee Stahl of The College of New Jersey did an experiment that included 335 2-and 3-year-olds. “We wanted to know how little kids think about possibilities,” Feigenson says. Their first challenge was getting the attention of kids that young, so the scientists designed a special machine filled with toys. It turns out that the chance to put a little coin in a machine and get a prize is a drive to kids. When the little kids got a toy from the machine, the scientists told them it had a made-up name: Blick. Later, they were asked to point to the Blick among many toys. When the little kids knew the transparent (透明的) machine held Blicks, they were unsurprised by their prize and usually forgot its name. This was true even when the machine had only one or two Blicks among lots of other toys. But the little kids behaved very differently when they got a Blick from a machine that appeared to have none, a seemingly impossible thing. “Often, “kids’ eyes get wide, and their mouths open, and they look at their mom in surprise that this has happened,” Feigenson says. Moreover, when little kids met this completely unexpected result, they usually remembered the Blick’s name. They are really driven to learn. The results further prove that even very young children learn better when they meet the unexpected, says Andrew Shtulman, an expert at Occidental College. “It causes a level of surprise that leads to more attention, better understanding of the things, and better continuous attention of those things later on,” he adds, “If you want children to learn something deeply and for a long time, you go against their expectations before introducing that information.” 12. What does the experiment focus on? A. Little kids’ imagination. B. Little kids’ rememberance. C. Little kids’ curiosity about learning. D. Little kids’ behaviour to possibilities. 13. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in paragraph 3? A. They had no interest in the result. B. They had no confidence in winning. C. They had difficulty in concentrating. D. They did well in telling the difference. 14. How did little kids find the machine without Blicks? A. They were amazed. B. They were annoyed. C. They were satisfied. D. They were frightened. 15. What is Andrew Shtulman’s suggestion on children’s learning? A. Offer information directly. B. Teach them as they expect. C. Provide more teaching methods. D. Surprise the kids to learn better. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) I have a terrible sense of direction, so without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, but also I’d feel lost. ___16___.

After only a month in school, she began to come home from time to time asking for pencils, crayons (蜡笔), paper, etc. At first I just provided whatever she needed, never questioning her. After ongoing requests for objects that should have easily lasted a mere six weeks of fourth grade, I became worried and asked her, “Gina, what are you doing with your school items?” She would always reply with an answer that satisfied me. One day, after offering the same thing only a week earlier, I became angry with her asking for more and seriously asked her once more, “Gina! what is going on with your school items?” Knowing her excuses would no longer work, she lowered her head and began to cry. I lifted her tiny chin (下巴) and looked into those big brown eyes, filled now with tears. “What?! What is wrong?” My mind was filled with all kinds of ideas. Had she been bullied by another child? Was she giving her items to him or her to keep from being hurt? I couldn’t imagine what was going on, but I knew it was something serious for her to cry. I waited for what seemed like a year for her to answer. “Mom,” she began, “there is a boy in my class; he doesn’t have any of the items he needs to do his work. The other kids make fun of him because his papers are in a mess and he only has two crayons to color with. I have been putting the new items you bought me in his desk before the others come in, so he doesn’t know it’s me. Please don’t get mad at me, Mom. I didn’t mean to tell you a lie, but I didn’t want anyone to know it was me.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My heart dropped as I stood there in disbelief. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
