Although they were poor, their birthdays were always joyful, and the gifts were always homemade. Bebeto remembered how Ana's eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at a gift store. How he wanted her to have it! Suddenly, he had an idea. The following morning,Bebeto rode his bike to the outskirts（郊区） of town. He joined some boys picking mangoes（芒果）among some smaller trees there. The smaller trees had few mangoes left,but he gathered some by noon. As the sun climbed high, Bebeto faced the challenge of the tall trees with ripe（成熟的）mangoes just out of reach. Bebeto made a tool with a bamboo stick to get them. It was tiring work. His neck and arms hurt. His hard work paid off. By late afternoon, his bag was nearly full. On his way back, he worried he would be too late to sell his mangoes. Fortunately, he made it just in time to exchange them for the doll. The next morning, at breakfast, Bebeto placed a large bowl of mangoes in front of Ana. "Happy birthday, my sister," he said. "My favourite fruit! Thank you, Bebeto!" she picked up the top mango. Then her eyes widened, and her smile became brighter. There,among the fruit, was the new doll. 59. What did Bebeto decide to do for his sister's birthday? A. Pick mangoes as a gift. B.Make a homemade doll. C.Sell mangoes to buy a doll. D.Buy a bowl of mangoes. 60.How did Bebeto get the mangoes? A.He bought some mangoes. B.He picked the mangoes from trees. C. Some boys gave him the mangoes. D.Some boys helped him pick the mangoes. 61.Which words best describe Bebeto? A.Selfless and nervous. B. Thoughtful and selfless. C. Intelligent but naughty. D.Hard-working but strict. C If you asked scientists whether monkeys and chimpanzees（黑猩猩）had a sense（感觉）of right and wrong before they had a deep study on them, they would tell you that it seemed not possible. It was believed that only humans could imagine（想象）the future.Some people said that most monkeys were cleverer than most dogs. What's more, if dogs seemed unhappy when they did something bad, some people believed that dogs learnt such an action to make their owners happy. It doesn't mean that dogs understand why their owners are angry. It doesn't mean that animals can think about the future. Now, however, it appears that chimpanzees and monkeys may be able to think about the future. Santino is a chimpanzee and he lives at a zoo in Sweden. He is famous for his bad mood. Santino doesn't like being looked at by visitors and he often throws stones at them. Before visitors walk into the zoo, he must have decided if he is prepared for visiting days. He begins collecting stones so that he is fully ready to throw them when people come to see him. The interesting thing is that Santino would only collect stones when he thinks visitors might come.In winter when the zoo is closed, he doesn't collect them. Santino's action is a clear example of an animal planning for the future. It's also an example to show "scientific" beliefs come from facts rather than opinions（观点）.It seems likely that within ten years, we shall have a completely different view of animal intelligence（智慧）. 62.What did scientists think of animals before? A.They could think about the future. B. They couldn't understand their owners. C. They couldn't know the right and wrong. D.They could share people's happiness and sadness. 63. Why does Santino collect many stones? A.Because he wants to build a wall. B.Because he likes to play with stones. C. Because the keeper asks him to do so. D. Because he wants to throw them at visitors. 64.What does the writer want to tell us? A. Monkeys are much cleverer than dogs. B. Dogs can understand their owners' feelings. C. Only human-like animals can think about the future. D. We should use facts to show truth instead of opinions. D In a coastal city of Brazil, there is a special fishing team. It is made up of human fishers and dolphins! They work together to catch the same fish—the mullet (鲻鱼). Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, the US, studied this. As he told Science News Explores, this partnership started more than a century ago. “The dolphins are really good at finding fish in the murky (浑浊的) water and driving them to the coast,” Cantor said. “The fishermen are really good at catching the fish with their nets.” Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves. Cantor’s study described how fishermen and dolphins give cues to each other during fishing. After dolphins find fish, they drive fish to the coast. Then they arch (拱起) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to cast nets (撒网). Fishermen will then cast the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance. “Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the cues from dolphins,” said Cantor. The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, the helpful dolphins have 13 percent higher survival rates (存活率) than other dolphins. “Human-animal partnerships have been hard to see throughout history. But they give us an idea of how positive our human interactions (互动) can be with nature,” Cantor said. 65．What does “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．A city. B．A study. C．A university. D．A fishing team. 66．What is the right order of dolphins and fishermen working together according to the study? ①dolphins arch their backs      ②fishermen cast nets    ③dolphins move in and get fish ④dolphins find fish in the water    ⑤dolphins drive fish to the coast A．④③②⑤① B．⑤①③②④ C．④⑤①②③ D．⑤②①④③ 67．In Paragraph 5, the author mainly wants to show this partnership _________. A．should be improved and changed B．must last for a long time in history C．might result in a win-win situation D．could be in danger and end up soon 68．What’s the writer’s real purpose in the last paragraph? A．To introduce how to cooperate with animals. B．To tell us that humans can cooperate with animals positively. C．To question the partnerships between humans and nature. D．To explain the reasons why human-animal partnerships are popular. E In many people's eyes, plants are quiet. They can't talk. They can't walk. They can't think like us. Are all of the above true? A recent TV show gives us a new look at plants. It tells us the secret lives of plants and the ways that plants behave. Plants fight against each other to live. Each has its own way. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight because only two percent of the sunlight reaches the ground. Some plants spread (伸展)their big leaves to get more light. But some vines(藤蔓) try to catch them to take a ride. Finally, the balsa wood, one of the fastest growing trees, beat all of them. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates popular(胡杨), a kind of tall straight tree with soft wood, are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus(真菌) in the soil as a way to“talk” to each other. It's kind of like the way Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it through fungus. The TV show not only lets us feel amazed at the plant world but also pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the basis of all life, including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe,” said DavidAttenborough, the presenter of the TV show. It's time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants. 69. What does the recent TV show tell us? A. The history of forests. B. The fight between animals. C. How plants talk and walk. D. The lives of plants and the ways they behave. 70. How does the writer develop Paragraph 4? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By explaining reasons. 71. How do plants“talk” to each other according to the text? A. Through fungus in the soil. B. By changing their colours. C. By spreading their leaves. D. By sharing the sunlight. 72. What can we know from David Attenborough's words? A. Houseplants also need our care. B. Many wild plants are in danger. C. Plants play a big role in our lives. D. Plants fight against each other to live. F 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题 Let’s say you are taking a walk along the road and you happen to see one or two waste bottles lying on the grass beside the road. What would you do? You may have different choices. Firstly, you can leave the bottles there as they are. It was not you who threw them away. Why should you do something about it? This is quite OK. Secondly, you can pick them up and throw them into a dustbin (垃圾箱). By doing this, you have walked a step further to help make our home clean. This action is a better choice. Thirdly, you might want to pick them up and give them to an old man or woman who collects waste for a living. If this is your choice, you have walked even further. You’re not only thinking about doing something for the environment, you’re also developing yourself to be a person who would think of others and help them. As for young kids, they may always have such a question: “When do I grow up?" Yes! When does a child grow up? And how can a kid know he or she has grown up? These are interesting questions. As for us, fourteen-year-olds, we’re no longer younger children. We should know whether or not we have grown up. When we start to have a sense of offering a helping hand for a cleaner city and greener world, and when we have a loving heart to think more of others than of ourselves and are ready to help them, we can say that we have grown up. Remember: If we help others, others will help us. If we do our best for nature, nature will offer its best to us in return! 73.What’s the best choice according to the second paragraph when you see waste bottles beside the road? _____________________________________________________________________ 74.What does the underlined word “home" refer to in the second paragraph? _____________________________________________________________________ 75.What lesson does the writer want to tell us？ _____________________________________________________________________ 第四部分 写 （共两大题，满分25分） IX． 单词拼写：（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 76.
