Scientists have noticed that animals might also play jokes (开玩笑) on each other!
Have you ever seen a dog letting people come close to its toy and then running away with it? The famous scientist Charles Darwin thought this was the dog’s way of playing a joke. Another scientist, Marc Bekoff, saw dogs playing with each other by slowly walking up to each other and then quickly running away. He said that dogs want a good time to relax themselves.
In 2024, scientists had a study on apes (猿猴). They found the ability to have a sense of humor (幽默感) might have started long ago. The result surprised them a lot!
But do these animals have a sense of humor? Are the apes in the study just trying to get attention, not joking around? Why would animals play jokes on each other? “Humor is a way for people to connect with others,” say scientists. “We don’t know if it’s the same for apes or other animals, but it’s possible.”

①People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experiences. I once took a school-year English lesson in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English alone.
②One thing I can tell you is that once you’ve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say it in English?” At first, it might be with easy words or phrases (短语), but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I’m in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it out. You can’t imagine how much this helps.
③For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally, I got over it. And while traveling in America, I’d try to spend time with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided not to be afraid of saying anything silly. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.
④Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.
32. Why does the writer talk about “riding your bike or walking down the street” in Paragraph 2?
A. To give examples. B. To compare the two ways.
C. To teach sentences. D. To show strangers the way.
33. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3?
A. Don’t laugh at others. B. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
C. Learn to spend time with friends. D. Make a good choice when traveling.
34. What is the structure (结构) of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了作者学习英语的经历,并分享了一些自己的经验给读者。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about ‘How would I say it in English?’”可知,作者提到“riding your bike or walking down the street”是为了举例说明“用英语思考”的具体场景。故选A。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally I got over it... After that, my English started improving much more quickly”可知,该段想传递的核心是“不要害怕说英语时犯错”。故选B。
【34题详解】
篇章结构题。通读全文可知,文章开头引出“分享英语学习经验”的主题;随后分别围绕“尽量多用英语思考”、“不要害怕说傻话”、“请美国朋友帮忙看你的写作方式”这几个方面阐述具体方法,属于“总—分”结构。故选B。
D
There are so many English expressions (表达) about the weather. Sometimes they mean something different.
Raining a lot isn’t a good thing, but there is good news about rain: “Save for a rainy day” means people are working hard for a future plan. And “as right as rain” means that someone is as healthy as usual. So when your friend says, “I was ill, but now I feel as right as rain”, you know he is OK.
However, the expressions about the cloud don’t sound so good. If a person only wants to do something great but never starts with small things, we may say, “He has his head in the clouds.” And if someone worked out a problem and felt very excited, we may say he is “on cloud nine”.
On hot days, wind makes you feel cool and comfortable. But the expression “know which way the wind blows (吹)” suggests that a man won’t tell his idea about something till he knows it well.
35. If a man feels as right as rain, what does that mean?
A. He feels very excited. B. He wants to do something great.
C. He is as healthy as usual. D. He works hard for a future plan.
36. If a man knows which way the wind blows, which of the following best describes him?
A. Polite. B. Lovely. C. Modern. D. Careful.
37. What is the text (短文) mainly about?
A. News about rain and snow. B. Ways of checking the weather.
C. Different meanings of the word “wind”. D. English expressions about weather.
【答案】35. C 36. D 37. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了许多关于天气的英语表达,有时它们的含义有所不同。文章通过举例解释了不同天气相关表达的具体含义,展现了这些表达在日常生活中的实际应用。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据“And ‘as right as rain’ means that someone is as healthy as usual. So when your friend says, ‘I was ill, but now I feel as right as rain’, you know he is OK.”可知,如果一个人感觉“as right as rain”,意味着他和往常一样健康。故选C。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据“But the expression ‘know which way the wind blows’ suggests that a man won’t tell his idea about something till he knows it well.”可知,知道风向的人在充分了解某件事之前不会轻易表达自己的想法,由此可推测这样的人是谨慎的。故选D。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“There are so many English expressions about the weather. Sometimes they mean something different.”以及全文内容可知,本文主要围绕关于天气的英语表达展开,介绍了不同表达的含义。故选D。

One day, the tree found the boy sad while he was standing in front of the house. “Come and play with me,” she said. “I am not a child now,” the boy answered. “I need some money to buy school things.” “I don’t have money, but you can pick all my apples and sell them.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.
One day, the boy returned. “Come and play with me,” the tree said happily. “I have no time to play. I need to build a house for my family.” “You can cut off my branches (树枝).” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily.

“I don’t need much, now, just a relaxing place for me to rest. I am tired,” the boy answered.

开放性试题,言之有理即可。根据文章内容,苹果树在男孩不同成长阶段,总是无私地满足男孩的需求,给予男孩苹果、树枝,最后甚至提供树根让男孩休息,由此可看出苹果树是无私的、慷慨的、有爱的。故填It’s selfless/generous/loving.

Scientists have noticed that animals might also play jokes (开玩笑) on each other!
Have you ever seen a dog letting people come close to its toy and then running away with it? The famous scientist Charles Darwin thought this was the dog’s way of playing a joke. Another scientist, Marc Bekoff, saw dogs playing with each other by slowly walking up to each other and then quickly running away. He said that dogs want a good time to relax themselves.
In 2024, scientists had a study on apes (猿猴). They found the ability to have a sense of humor (幽默感) might have started long ago. The result surprised them a lot!
But do these animals have a sense of humor? Are the apes in the study just trying to get attention, not joking around? Why would animals play jokes on each other? “Humor is a way for people to connect with others,” say scientists. “We don’t know if it’s the same for apes or other animals, but it’s possible.”
29. Why did the dog let people come close to its toy?
A. To run with people. B. To make people relaxed.
C. To play a joke on people. D. To let people play with the toy.
30. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?
A. The dogs. B. The apes. C. The toys. D. The scientists.

①People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experiences. I once took a school-year English lesson in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English alone.
②One thing I can tell you is that once you’ve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say it in English?” At first, it might be with easy words or phrases (短语), but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I’m in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it out. You can’t imagine how much this helps.
③For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally, I got over it. And while traveling in America, I’d try to spend time with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided not to be afraid of saying anything silly. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.
④Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.
32. Why does the writer talk about “riding your bike or walking down the street” in Paragraph 2?
A. To give examples. B. To compare the two ways.
C. To teach sentences. D. To show strangers the way.
33. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3?
A. Don’t laugh at others. B. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
C. Learn to spend time with friends. D. Make a good choice when traveling.
34 What is the structure (结构) of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
D
There are so many English expressions (表达) about the weather. Sometimes they mean something different.
Raining a lot isn’t a good thing, but there is good news about rain: “Save for a rainy day” means people are working hard for a future plan. And “as right as rain” means that someone is as healthy as usual. So when your friend says, “I was ill, but now I feel as right as rain”, you know he is OK.
However, the expressions about the cloud don’t sound so good. If a person only wants to do something great but never starts with small things, we may say, “He has his head in the clouds.” And if someone worked out a problem and felt very excited, we may say he is “on cloud nine”.
On hot days, wind makes you feel cool and comfortable. But the expression “know which way the wind blows (吹)” suggests that a man won’t tell his idea about something till he knows it well.
35. If a man feels as right as rain, what does that mean?
A. He feels very excited. B. He wants to do something great.
C He is as healthy as usual. D. He works hard for a future plan.
36. If a man knows which way the wind blows, which of the following best describes him?
A. Polite. B. Lovely. C. Modern. D. Careful.
37. What is the text (短文) mainly about?
A. News about rain and snow. B. Ways of checking the weather.
C. Different meanings of the word “wind”. D. English expressions about weather.
E
Once, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to play around it. As time went by, the little boy got older. One day, the tree found the boy sad while he was standing in front of the house. “Come and play with me,” she said. “I am not a child now,” the boy answered. “I need some money to buy school things.” “I don’t have money, but you can pick all my apples and sell them.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.
One day, the boy returned. “Come and play with me,” the tree said happily. “I have no time to play. I need to build a house for my family.” “You can cut off my branches (树枝).” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. Years later, the boy returned again. “My boy, I’m so sorry for I don’t have anything to give you. The only thing left is my dying root (根),” the tree said in a sad voice.
“I don’t need much, now, just a relaxing place for me to rest. I am tired,” the boy answered.
“Good! Now my root is a good place for you Come and sleep.” The boy sat down and fell asleep. The tree smiled and looked at the boy with deep love.
