Biologist and youngest shortlist in the Royal Society Science Book Prize’s history, Nicklas Brendborg takes us deeper into the topic.

Taking Flight Lev Parikian brings a well-deserved sense of wonder to the act of flight. His book explores fourteen different flying species, starting 300 million years ago with insects and coming right up to the birds and butterflies of today. An Immense World In this impressive page-turner, Ed Yong takes us past our own senses to help us imagine how the world is perceived (感知) by the animals with which we share this planet. Going beyond sight, sound, smell, taste and touch, Yong invites us to explore vibrations (振动), electric fields and beyond. 21. Who wrote the book Jelly fish Age Backwards? A. Nicklas Brendborg. B. Ed Yong. C. Lev Parikian. D. Roma Agrawal. 22. Which book focuses on a wide range of inventions? A. Taking Flight. B. An Immense World. C. Nuts and Bolts. D. Jellyfish Age Backwards. 23.

Biologist and youngest shortlist in the Royal Society Science Book Prize’s history, Nicklas Brendborg takes us deeper into the topic. (衰老似乎总是萦绕在我们的脑海里。生物学家和英国皇家学会科学图书奖历史上最年轻的入围名单，Nicklas Brendborg带我们深入了解这个话题。)”可知，Nicklas Brendborg 写了《青春永驻》（Jellyfish Age Backwards）这本书。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Nuts and Bolts”中的“Award-winning engineer and broadcaster Roma Agrawal breaks down some of the greatest achievements of engineering, from skyscrapers (摩天大楼) to space travel, into seven key inventions. (屡获殊荣的工程师兼播音员罗马·阿格拉瓦尔将一些最伟大的工程成就，从摩天大楼到太空旅行，归纳为七大关键发明。) ”可知，《Nuts and Bolts》这本书聚焦于各种各样的发明。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Taking Flight”中的“His book explores fourteen different flying species, starting 300 million years ago with insects and coming right up to the birds and butterflies of today. (他的书探索了14种不同的飞行物种，从3亿年前的昆虫开始，一直到今天的鸟类和蝴蝶。)”和“An Immense World” 中的“In this impressive page-turner, Ed Yong takes us past our own senses to help us imagine how the world is perceived (感知) by the animals with which we share this planet.

Her love for animals led her to become a vegan(素食者), and she uses art as a creative outlet to promote kindness to all life. The fact that her work carries such an important message for the planet makes her paintings even more beautiful and moving. “I can feel the suffering of our planet and the pain that is being caused to animals,” she said. “My mission is to speak up for those who can’t.” Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style. Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species. With each mural, she made the audience look directly into the animals’ eyes. This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals. “Each animal was colorful to highlight their uniqueness and individuality,” Ekaterina said. Her main goal is to connect people with animals, even in the most crowded urban places. We have greatly lost our connection to Mother Earth and all the creatures who inhabit it. Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices. “As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them,” Ekaterina said. 24. What inspires Ekaterina Sky to create art? A. Her childhood. B. Her love for animals. C. Her scholarships. D. Her travels. 25. What is the focus of paragraph 3? A. Ekaterina’s educational background in art. B. The achievements of Ekaterina’s unique artistic style. C. The reasons why Ekaterina wanted to be a conservation artist. D. The impact of Ekaterina’s art on wildlife conservation efforts. 26. How does Ekaterina Sky’s artwork contribute to wildlife conservation? A. By raising funds. B. By providing scientific data. C. By increasing public awareness. D. By influencing the local policy. 27. What can we learn from Ekaterina’s words in the last paragraph? A. Art doesn’t influence people’s feelings. B. Urban life helps protect endangered species. C. She seeks to expose environmental harm. D. She trusts our eyes link us to animals through art. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了野生动物保护艺术家Ekaterina Sky通过自己的画作让人们与自然和动物重新建立联系，为它们发声。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species.(最近，Ekaterina到世界各地旅行，绘制了各种濒危物种的壁画。)”可知，她到世界各地旅行，并画了各种濒危物种的壁画，由此可推测出，她的旅行经历激发她去创作艺术作品。故选D。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style.(Ekaterina在俄罗斯雅罗斯拉夫尔美术学院开始了她的艺术之旅。在那里，她完成了一个美术课程，这给了她成为一名保护艺术家所需的背景。她还获得了特拉维夫博物馆艺术学院的奖学金。在那里，她扩展了自己的知识和技能，学会了创造自己独特的风格。)”可知，本段主要讲述了Ekaterina接受艺术教育的背景。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals.(这有助于他们与动物建立更多的联系，也许还有助于他们意识到与动物的相互联系。)”和第五段中的“Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices.(Ekaterina的作品可以帮助提高人们对我们都必须在这里共存这一事实的认识。她说，我们的城市生活方式让我们忘记了所有我们可以通过做出不同选择来帮助保护的濒危物种。)”可推测出，Ekaterina的作品可以提高公众对野生动物保护的意识。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Ekaterina的话“As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them(我相信，我们通过眼睛联系在一起，眼睛是我们灵魂的窗户，我相信，当我们遇到某人的灵魂时，我们没有伤害他们的心)”可推出，Ekaterina认为人类的眼睛通过观看艺术而将人类和动物联系在一起。故选D。 C Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project. Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here. Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水). To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer. “I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.” An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says. 28. Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph? A. To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique. B. To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills. C. To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique. D. To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm. 29. What can we know about the Wanbao project? A. It plants trees in urban areas. B. It teaches locals Chinese. C. It improves the local climate. D. It offers farming technologies for locals. 30. What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean? A. Preparing. B. Growing. C. Selling. D. Pulling. 31. In which section of a website is the text likely to be found? A. Travel. B. Education. C. Agriculture. D. Art. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了万宝水稻种植项目帮助莫桑比克人民发展农业，实现脱贫。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project.(在这里，如果人们能用中文“你好”打招呼，他们当然也知道另一个中文词语“万宝”，这是中国一个水稻种植项目的名字。)”可知，凡是能用中文“你好”打招呼的人都会知道“万宝”这个中国水稻种植项目，由此可推测，这说明了该项目在莫桑比克非常受欢迎。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare(公顷) of land(我从水稻种植中受益匪浅，学会了在一公顷土地上使用中国技术生产水稻)”可知，万宝项目给当地人提供了农业技术。故选D。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前一句“An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice.(一位老农民现在甚至在教其他农民如何种植水稻。)”和画线词后的“crops over 40 hectares”可知，这位老农民可以教其他农民如何种植水稻，由此可推测出，他在40公顷的土地上种植庄稼，cultivate意为“种植”，与grow意思一致。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa.(农民们在农场里载歌载舞庆祝水稻丰收。这是万宝莫桑比克稻田，中国在非洲最大的水稻种植项目。)”并结合下文可知，本文主要讲述了万宝水稻种植项目帮助莫桑比克人民种植水稻，与农业有关，所以本文最有可能出自网站上的农业版块。故选C。 D Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees (大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play. Lots of animals play: But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing. Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not. To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. For three hours, a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls. Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females. The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings. 32. What is the common view about animals’ playing behavior? A. A form of fight. B. A form of training. C. A form of labor. D. A form of performance. 33. Why did Dr. Lars Chittka conduct the new experiment? A. To train bumblebees to play with balls. B. To figure out bumblebees’ feeding style. C. To explore if bumblebees play without a reward. D. To observe how bees interact with different objects: 34. What did the scientists find during the experiment? A. Bumblebees only played with balls when food was involved. B. Female bumblebees were more interested in playing than males. C. Older bumblebees spent more time rolling balls than younger ones. D. Bumblebees preferred balls that could roll to those that couldn’t. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A The purpose of insects playing is to prepare for life. B. Dr. Lars Chittka discovered a new way to train bees. C. Bumblebees are the first insects known to play. D. Playing is common among mammals and birds. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究发现大黄蜂似乎是第一个已知会玩的昆虫，但尚不清楚它们为什么这么做以及它们是否喜欢这样，即便如此，这项研究让人们想知道昆虫大脑的工作原理以及它们是否有情感。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life.(对于许多动物来说，玩耍通常被视为一种对它们以后生活中必须处理的事情的练习。)”可知，人们普遍认为动物的玩耍行为是一种练习形式。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not.(他想知道它们是否在为奖励而玩。)”和第四段中的“To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment.(为了验证这一想法，他和其他科学家一起进行了一项新的实验。)”可知，Lars Chittka博士进行这项新实验是为了验证大黄蜂是否会在没有奖励的情况下玩耍。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.(它们对球不能移动的一侧不太感兴趣，但它们经常去有滚动球的一侧。)”可知，与不能滚动的球相比，大黄蜂更喜欢能滚动的球。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Now scientists report bumblebees(大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.(现在科学家们报告说，大黄蜂似乎也知道同样的事情，这使大黄蜂成为已知的第一种玩耍的昆虫。)”并结合下文内容可知，本文主要通过一项实验说明大黄蜂会玩球，这使得大黄蜂成为已知的第一种玩耍的昆虫。故选C。 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。 So you want to know how to look more confident and think body language is the key?

One particular student, Emily, is dangerously close to failing not only the entire course but the end-of-year exam. She must pass the course. Otherwise, she would have to repeat the entire year. That’s really a pity. She is the type of student who is incredibly bright, switched on and engaging. But she’s been hanging out with some naughty kids since her parents divorced. It was a group of students who didn’t love learning and just wanted to have fun every day. This part of the story occurred just after a paper was due. The paper was meant to assess just how well the students knew the course material that we had covered before the end-of-year exam. I handed out everyone’s marked and graded paper except for Emily’s who was sitting with her friend group. Looking at Emily, I said to her in a peaceful voice, “Emily, when I dismiss everyone else, I want to see you privately, please.” A collective “ooooooh” hissed around the class. Emily was obviously a little bit worried about what this might be. I dismissed the class and sat opposite Emily, her paper in my hand. “So, how do you think you did on your paper?” I asked. Emily replied, “It seems that I don’t get the material, right? Why do you always —”. But I gently interrupted with a warm smile, “You don’t get it? That’s strange.” “Actually, Emily, you’ve surprised us all,” I said, turning the paper to reveal a big, fat A+ next to her name. “Because your paper perfectly summarized the issues we discussed this semester about class difference in the Victorian Era. Obviously, this is your area of expertise,” I explained. Emily’s eyes widened in disbelief. “W-what?” I continued, “Your paper was the highest-scoring one I’ve ever had. I’m completely serious.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Emily was obviously shocked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After this conversation, I noticed a big change in Emily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Emily was obviously shocked. Her mouth dropped open, and her hands instinctively reached for the paper I was still holding. Her eyes scanned the grade, then looked back at me in astonishment. “But, Mr. ..., I mean, I didn’t even think I passed!” she stammered. I could see the wheels turning in her mind, processing the unexpected praise and the grade that didn’t align with her self-perception. Her face slowly lit up with a mix of disbelief and joy, as if she was seeing a new possibility for herself. After this conversation, I noticed a big change in Emily. She started coming to class earlier, actively participating in discussions, and even initiating conversations about historical topics outside of class. Her grades soared, and she became a model student for her peers. The influence of her previous friend group seemed to diminish as she found new, like-minded friends who valued education and personal growth. Emily’s transformation was nothing short of remarkable, a testament to the power of positive reinforcement and the belief in one’s potential.

Biologist and youngest shortlist in the Royal Society Science Book Prize’s history, Nicklas Brendborg takes us deeper into the topic. Without making claims about ways to stay young forever, Brendborg guides readers through the science of ageing and how you can make it easier on yourself. Nuts and Bolts Award-winning engineer and broadcaster Roma Agrawal breaks down some of the greatest achievements of engineering, from skyscrapers (摩天大楼) to space travel, into seven key inventions. Written in a humorous tone, with personal touches such as a letter to Agrawal’s daughter, this book will have you look at the world around you through a new viewpoint. Taking Flight Lev Parikian brings a well-deserved sense of wonder to the act of flight. His book explores fourteen different flying species, starting 300 million years ago with insects and coming right up to the birds and butterflies of today. An Immense World In this impressive page-turner, Ed Yong takes us past our own senses to help us imagine how the world is perceived (感知) by the animals with which we share this planet. Going beyond sight, sound, smell, taste and touch, Yong invites us to explore vibrations (振动), electric fields and beyond. 21. Who wrote the book Jelly fish Age Backwards? A Nicklas Brendborg. B. Ed Yong. C. Lev Parikian. D. Roma Agrawal. 22. Which book focuses on a wide range of inventions? A. Taking Flight. B. An Immense World. C. Nuts and Bolts. D. Jellyfish Age Backwards. 23. What do the last two books have in common? A. They have won prizes. B. They are about animals. C. They research on how to fly. D. They are authored by the same person. B Ekaterina Sky, a wildlife conservation artist, inspires people to reconnect with nature and animals through her work. Her love for animals led her to become a vegan(素食者), and she uses art as a creative outlet to promote kindness to all life. The fact that her work carries such an important message for the planet makes her paintings even more beautiful and moving. “I can feel the suffering of our planet and the pain that is being caused to animals,” she said. “My mission is to speak up for those who can’t.” Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style. Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species. With each mural, she made the audience look directly into the animals’ eyes. This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals. “Each animal was colorful to highlight their uniqueness and individuality,” Ekaterina said. Her main goal is to connect people with animals, even in the most crowded urban places. We have greatly lost our connection to Mother Earth and all the creatures who inhabit it. Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices. “As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them,” Ekaterina said. 24. What inspires Ekaterina Sky to create art? A. Her childhood. B. Her love for animals. C. Her scholarships. D. Her travels. 25. What is the focus of paragraph 3? A. Ekaterina’s educational background in art. B. The achievements of Ekaterina’s unique artistic style. C. The reasons why Ekaterina wanted to be a conservation artist. D The impact of Ekaterina’s art on wildlife conservation efforts. 26. How does Ekaterina Sky’s artwork contribute to wildlife conservation? A. By raising funds. B. By providing scientific data. C. By increasing public awareness. D. By influencing the local policy. 27. What can we learn from Ekaterina’s words in the last paragraph? A. Art doesn’t influence people’s feelings. B. Urban life helps protect endangered species. C. She seeks to expose environmental harm. D. She trusts our eyes link us to animals through art. C Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project. Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here. Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水). To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer. “I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.” An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says. 28. Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph? A. To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique. B. To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills. C. To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique. D. To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm. 29. What can we know about the Wanbao project? A. It plants trees in urban areas. B. It teaches locals Chinese. C. It improves the local climate. D. It offers farming technologies for locals. 30. What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean? A. Preparing. B. Growing. C. Selling. D. Pulling. 31. In which section of a website is the text likely to be found? A. Travel. B. Education. C. Agriculture. D. Art. D Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees (大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play. Lots of animals play: But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing. Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not. To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. For three hours, a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls. Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females. The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings. 32. What is the common view about animals’ playing behavior? A. A form of fight. B. A form of training. C. A form of labor. D. A form of performance. 33. Why did Dr. Lars Chittka conduct the new experiment? A. To train bumblebees to play with balls. B. To figure out bumblebees’ feeding style. C. To explore if bumblebees play without a reward. D. To observe how bees interact with different objects: 34. What did the scientists find during the experiment? A. Bumblebees only played with balls when food was involved. B. Female bumblebees were more interested in playing than males. C. Older bumblebees spent more time rolling balls than younger ones. D. Bumblebees preferred balls that could roll to those that couldn’t. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. The purpose of insects playing is to prepare for life. B. Dr. Lars Chittka discovered a new way to train bees. C. Bumblebees are the first insects known to play. D. Playing is common among mammals and birds. 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。 So you want to know how to look more confident and think body language is the key?

One particular student, Emily, is dangerously close to failing not only the entire course but the end-of-year exam. She must pass the course. Otherwise, she would have to repeat the entire year. That’s really a pity. She is the type of student who is incredibly bright, switched on and engaging. But she’s been hanging out with some naughty kids since her parents divorced. It was a group of students who didn’t love learning and just wanted to have fun every day. This part of the story occurred just after a paper was due. The paper was meant to assess just how well the students knew the course material that we had covered before the end-of-year exam. I handed out everyone’s marked and graded paper except for Emily’s, who was sitting with her friend group. Looking at Emily, I said to her in a peaceful voice, “Emily, when I dismiss everyone else, I want to see you privately, please.” A collective “ooooooh” hissed around the class. Emily was obviously a little bit worried about what this might be. I dismissed the class and sat opposite Emily, her paper in my hand. “So, how do you think you did on your paper?” I asked. Emily replied, “It seems that I don’t get the material, right? Why do you always —”. But I gently interrupted with a warm smile, “You don’t get it? That’s strange.” “Actually, Emily, you’ve surprised us all,” I said, turning the paper to reveal a big, fat A+ next to her name. “Because your paper perfectly summarized the issues we discussed this semester about class difference in the Victorian Era. Obviously, this is your area of expertise,” I explained. Emily’s eyes widened in disbelief. “W-what?” I continued, “Your paper was the highest-scoring one I’ve ever had. I’m completely serious.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Emily was obviously shocked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After this conversation, I noticed a big change in Emily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
