The bird then drops stones into it to reach the water and start drinking. “It’s just a story,” you may think. But new research has found that crows’ brains may sometimes be better than those of 6-year-old children. In a recent experiment (实验), American scientist Corina Logan and her team caught six crows to test them. The crows and children had to choose between two sets of tubes (管子). Both groups had to drop in stones to reach the water. With the red set, when they dropped a stone into a wide tube, the water level rose in a connected narrow tube. The blue set of tubes, however, had no connection between them. Children aged 7 to 10 were able to learn the rule. Children aged 4 to 6, however, failed. Five of the six crows failed the test. But Kitty, a 6-month-old crow, passed it. She put most of the stones into the red tube. So, could a bird be more clever than a child? Don’t be too quick to say no. 38. Paragraph 1 is written to ________. A. tell the story of a crow drinking water B. lead in the new research about crows C. show a test among crows and children D. introduce a set of story books 39. What happened after stones were dropped into the red set of tubes? A. The water went out of the tubes. B. The water level of a connected tube rose. C. There was no change at all. D. The water level of a connected tube went down. 40. What was the result of the experiment? A. More than half of the crows succeeded in the test. B. The crows were more clever than the group of children aged 7 to 10. C. One crow and the group of children aged 7 to 10 succeeded in the test. D. The crows showed an ability to tell different colors apart. 41. Why does the writer say “don’t be too quick to say no”? A. Because birds are more clever than children. B. Because crows might be more clever than children. C. Because crows are more clever than children aged 7 to 10. D. Because crows are the smartest kind of bird. 42. This passage is likely from a ________. A. novel B. storybook C. science magazine D. weather report 【答案】38. B 39. B 40. C 41. B 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一项关于乌鸦和儿童智力对比的实验研究。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段讲述的是乌鸦喝水的故事，而下文紧接着提到“But new research has found that crows’ brains may sometimes be better than those of 6-year-old children.”（但是新的研究发现，乌鸦的大脑有时可能比6岁儿童的大脑更好。）可知，第一段是为了引出关于乌鸦的新研究。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“With the red set, when they dropped a stone into a wide tube, the water level rose in a connected narrow tube.”可知，把石头扔进红色的一组管子后，相连的窄管中的水位上升了。故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Children aged 7 to 10 were able to learn the rule. Children aged 4 to 6, however, failed. Five of the six crows failed the test. But Kitty, a 6-month-old crow, passed it.”可知，7到10岁的孩子和一只6个月大的乌鸦Kitty通过了测试。故选C。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据上文实验结果可知，7到10岁的孩子和一只6个月大的乌鸦Kitty通过了测试，由此可推测作者说“don’t be too quick to say no”（不要太快说“不”）是因为乌鸦可能比孩子更聪明。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了一项关于乌鸦和儿童智力对比的实验研究，这类内容通常出现在科学杂志上。故选C。 C I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (麦片) and eggs. When others had sugary drinks and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did. My mother knew where we were at all times. She knew who our friends were. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. We had to be in bed by 9:00 pm and up at 8:00 am. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, our mother gave us work to do. We had to wash dishes, make our beds and learn to cook. I believe she lay awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school. My mother was the meanest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us went on to higher education. None of us has ever done bad things. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest people. Now I am trying to raise my children like this too. I will feel proud when my children call me mean. Because, you see, I am thankful that I had the meanest mother in the whole world. 43. According to the passage, how many children are there in the writer’s family? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 44. When did the writer go to bed and get up every day? A. 8:00 pm; 9:00 am. B. 9:00 pm; 9:00 am. C. 9:00 pm; 8:00 am. D. 9:00 pm; 6:00 am. 45.

The children were in pain being around their mother. D. The mother truly loved her children. 【答案】43. D 44. C 45. B 46. A 47. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章作者看似抱怨母亲“刻薄”，实则讲述了母亲对子女严格要求的生活细节，以及这份严格如何让子女成长为有教养、诚实的人。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Out of four children, a couple of us went on to higher education.”可知，作者家有四个孩子，故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“We had to be in bed by 9:00 pm and up at 8:00 am.”可知，作者每天晚上9点睡觉，早上8点起床，故选C。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据“We had to wash dishes, make our beds and learn to cook.”可知，母亲会强迫孩子们洗碗、整理床铺和学做饭，文中未提及“免费吃东西”是母亲强迫的内容，故选B。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。根据母亲要求孩子们按时作息、做家务、不能装病逃学，以及最终让孩子们成长为有教养、诚实的人可知，“meanest”在此处并非“不友好的”“不礼貌的”或“最强壮的”，而是指母亲“最严格的”，与“strictest”意思相近，故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She forced us to grow up into educated and honest people. Now I am trying to raise my children like this too. I will feel proud when my children call me mean. Because, you see, I am thankful that I had the meanest mother in the whole world.”可知，母亲的“刻薄”实则是对孩子的严格管教，最终让孩子受益终身，体现了母亲对孩子深沉的爱，故选D。 D On March 14, math and science lovers around the world celebrated a special day: Pi Day. Pi is equal to about 3.14, but the number goes on endlessly. It is sometimes written in Greek π. With the help of computers, mathematicians have been able to calculate (计算) pi out to over a trillion (万亿) decimal (小数) places, but there is still no end to the number. This makes pi puzzling even for the most famous scientists and mathematicians. Pi Day is celebrated around the world on March 14, since how we write this date, 3/14, looks just like the number pi. For some people, the appeal (吸引力) of Pi Day goes far beyond math and science. Pi shows up throughout popular culture. You can see it in movies, comics, music and more. “In modern movies, any time the filmmakers wants to evoke (唤起) a sense of mystery, often the symbol pi is used,” said David Blatner, a Jewish-American writer of The Joy of Pi. People also love trying to memorize the digits (数字) of pi and competing against others to see who can remember the most. Many teachers hold class contests to see how many numbers their students can memorize. The Guinness World Record for reciting (背诵) the most digits of pi is held by Lyu Chao of China, who successfully recited pi out to nearly 67,890 decimal places. Above all, Pi Day is about having fun with the number. People celebrate Pi Day by eating or throwing pie and with fun pi-related games and activities. In 2016, Princeton, New Jersey, held a birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14. There was also a “Walk a Pi Event” where people walked 3.14 miles together. Just like the number itself, the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless. 48. Which description of pi is NOT true? A. Pi Day falls on March 14. B. The number of pi is endless. C. People usually write pi as π. D. Pi was first found in Greece. 49. What does the underlined word “puzzling” in Paragraph 2 mean?

D 49. C 50. C 51. B 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了圆周率的无尽特性、Pi Day的全球庆祝活动，以及Pi在文化和科学中的广泛影响。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。通读全文可知，文章未提到圆周率最早在希腊发现。故选D。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“but there is still no end to the number. This makes pi puzzling even for the most famous scientists and mathematicians.”可知，π无限不循环的特性使科学家都感到困惑，因此puzzling意为“难以理解的”；故选C。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In modern movies, any time the filmmakers wants to evoke (唤起 ) a sense of mystery, often the symbol pi is used,”可知，电影中使用π符号是为了唤起神秘感。故选C。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“calculate pi out to over a trillion decimal places,”可知，计算π到万亿位；根据第三段“Pi shows up throughout popular culture”可知，π出现在电影、漫画等流行文化；根据第四段“competing to remember the most digits”可知，背诵π的位数比赛；以上，均体现了人们对π的兴趣。因此abd是正确的。故选B。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Pi Day is about having fun”可知，π节是趣味活动，后文列举吃派、步行3.14英里等活动，选项A“π节趣味活动”概括主旨。故选A。 B)（每小题2分） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从下面七个选项中选择五个还原到文章中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并在答题卡上将选项涂黑，一空一句。 Most of us have been there: Families can be very difficult, and family problems are very painful. ____53____ Wait until you’re not angry to discuss this problem.

Open a line of communication. ____56____ Be the person who reaches out first, no matter how hard that is. Perhaps an older, wiser family member can be asked to talk to the other family member first. To open the line of communication, you will have to set aside your pride. ____57____ Compromising (妥协) means that you come up with a solution that both people can feel okay about. A compromise is a good way to solve a family problem. The first step is trying to find out whether the problem is solvable. If you've tried and tried and kept getting the same result, that may be different. That depends on the nature of the problem, and what’s already been done to solve it. A. Try to reach a compromise.

These stories are lifelike, with strong girls who do things for themselves and no typical “happy endings”. Clever, funny, and imaginative, children from ages 9-12 and their parents will greatly enjoy the stories. The book includes black and white art by the writer. The Secret Elephant: by Ellan Rankin This is a wonderful picture book for ages 3-6, which tells the true story of a wartime friendship. It is based on a Belfast zookeeper who kept a baby Asian elephant at home during World War II to protect it from bombing (轰炸) and the order to kill dangerous animals.

The new book is in a black-and-white style. B A thirsty crow (乌鸦) comes across a bottle of water, but the water level is out of its reach. The bird then drops stones into it to reach the water and start drinking. “It’s just a story,” you may think. But new research has found that crows’ brains may sometimes be better than those of 6-year-old children. In a recent experiment (实验), American scientist Corina Logan and her team caught six crows to test them. The crows and children had to choose between two sets of tubes (管子). Both groups had to drop in stones to reach the water. With the red set, when they dropped a stone into a wide tube, the water level rose in a connected narrow tube. The blue set of tubes, however, had no connection between them. Children aged 7 to 10 were able to learn the rule. Children aged 4 to 6, however, failed. Five of the six crows failed the test. But Kitty, a 6-month-old crow, passed it. She put most of the stones into the red tube. So, could a bird be more clever than a child? Don’t be too quick to say no. 38. Paragraph 1 is written to ________. A. tell the story of a crow drinking water B. lead in the new research about crows C. show a test among crows and children D. introduce a set of story books 39. What happened after stones were dropped into the red set of tubes? A. The water went out of the tubes. B. The water level of a connected tube rose. C. There was no change at all. D. The water level of a connected tube went down. 40. What was the result of the experiment? A. More than half of the crows succeeded in the test. B. The crows were more clever than the group of children aged 7 to 10. C. One crow and the group of children aged 7 to 10 succeeded in the test. D. The crows showed an ability to tell different colors apart. 41. Why does the writer say “don’t be too quick to say no”? A. Because birds are more clever than children. B. Because crows might be more clever than children. C. Because crows are more clever than children aged 7 to 10. D. Because crows are the smartest kind of bird. 42. This passage is likely from a ________. A. novel B. storybook C. science magazine D. weather report C I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (麦片) and eggs. When others had sugary drinks and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did. My mother knew where we were at all times. She knew who our friends were. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. We had to be in bed by 9:00 pm and up at 8:00 am. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, our mother gave us work to do. We had to wash dishes, make our beds and learn to cook. I believe she lay awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school. My mother was the meanest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us went on to higher education. None of us has ever done bad things. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest people. Now I am trying to raise my children like this too. I will feel proud when my children call me mean. Because, you see, I am thankful that I had the meanest mother in the whole world. 43. According to the passage, how many children are there in the writer’s family? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 44. When did the writer go to bed and get up every day? A. 8:00 pm; 9:00 am. B. 9:00 pm; 9:00 am. C. 9:00 pm; 8:00 am. D. 9:00 pm; 6:00 am. 45. The mother might NOT force her children to ________. A. wash dishes B. eat freely C. make their beds. D. learn to cook 46. The underlined word “meanest” can be replaced by ________. A. strictest B. most unfriendly C. most impolite D. strongest 47. What can we learn from the passage? A. The family was very poor. B. The mother didn’t enjoy doing housework. C. The children were in pain being around their mother. D. The mother truly loved her children. D On March 14, math and science lovers around the world celebrated a special day: Pi Day. Pi is equal to about 3.14, but the number goes on endlessly. It is sometimes written in Greek π. With the help of computers, mathematicians have been able to calculate (计算) pi out to over a trillion (万亿) decimal (小数) places, but there is still no end to the number. This makes pi puzzling even for the most famous scientists and mathematicians. Pi Day is celebrated around the world on March 14, since how we write this date, 3/14, looks just like the number pi. For some people, the appeal (吸引力) of Pi Day goes far beyond math and science. Pi shows up throughout popular culture. You can see it in movies, comics, music and more. “In modern movies, any time the filmmakers wants to evoke (唤起) a sense of mystery, often the symbol pi is used,” said David Blatner, a Jewish-American writer of The Joy of Pi. People also love trying to memorize the digits (数字) of pi and competing against others to see who can remember the most. Many teachers hold class contests to see how many numbers their students can memorize. The Guinness World Record for reciting (背诵) the most digits of pi is held by Lyu Chao of China who successfully recited pi out to nearly 67,890 decimal places. Above all, Pi Day is about having fun with the number. People celebrate Pi Day by eating or throwing pie and with fun pi-related games and activities. In 2016, Princeton, New Jersey, held a birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14. There was also a “Walk a Pi Event” where people walked 3.14 miles together. Just like the number itself, the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless. 48. Which description of pi is NOT true? A. Pi Day falls on March 14. B. The number of pi is endless. C. People usually write pi as π. D. Pi was first found in Greece. 49. What does the underlined word “puzzling” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. easy to remember B. important to us C. difficult to understand D. not interesting at all 50. In modern movies, the symbol pi is often used to ________. A. stand for maths and science B. remind us of movies and comics C. show something mysterious D. show great understanding of the world 51. People show interest in pi by ________. a. calculating it out to over a trillion decimal places b. reciting as many digits of pi as possible c. naming many inventions after pi d. including pi in many forms of creative work A. a b c B. a b d C. a c d D. b c d 52. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Fun activities to celebrate Pi Day. B. People’s expectation of pi. C. The story between Albert Einstein and pi. D. The importance of pi to math.

A compromise is a good way to solve a family problem. The first step is trying to find out whether the problem is solvable.
