He moves his little fingers like wings. “You are?” I say. I’m sitting across from him while he eats breakfast at our table. I smile; he says the greatest things. A week ago, however, when he had chocolate on his face and I licked (舔) my finger to wipe it off, he said, “Don’t put your dirty water on me, please.” A week ago, I wouldn’t have been sitting here with him during breakfast. We always had dinner together at the table, but our other meals got much less attention, because my husband and I were so busy that we had to do the chores during breakfast or lunch. Why was I not sitting down with my son? It could take Jack an hour to eat a meal, during which I could feel the tug (猛拉) of unanswered emails, a deadline, and the unswept floor each minute. Then we went to visit friends for a weekend. They have two kids. They’re busy, professional, and good parents. And at every meal — not just dinner — we all sat down at the table and ate. When we got home, my husband said, “Maybe we should be doing that.” I took this as criticism. My husband works a lot, so mealtimes are mostly under my charge. The “we” he was talking about was me. Then, I reminded myself that I’m a big girl, and took his comment the way it was meant. We both want what’s best for Jack. Yes, I thought. I’m home. I have to eat, too. So I’ve been sitting. And, surprise. I haven’t missed a deadline. The house has not become filled with filth and muck. And Jack seems to like having me there. Two days ago, over lunch, he smiled and stared at me. “What?” I asked, amused. “Mommy, I love you so much and I can’t stop loving you.” I could’ve missed that. God, I could’ve missed that. 41. Before visiting the friends, Jack ________. A. didn’t like chocolate B. couldn’t eat by himself C. was sometimes rude to his mom D. preferred his mother to his father 42. After visiting the friends, the author ________. A. was determined to learn to cook B. asked her husband to have every meal with her C. decided to have dinner together with her family D. was advised by her husband to learn from the friends 43. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 mean? A. The house is still dirty. B. The house has been clean. C. The house is still crowded. D. The house has been quite empty. 44. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The best time to visit friends. B. A deadline for answering emails. C. Jack saying sweet words to his mom. D. Jack having lunch together with his mom. 45. What can we infer from the text? A. We should visit friends frequently. B. Kids should be polite to their parents. C. People are much busier than ever before. D. Families should try to have meals together. C An elephant in a South Korean zoo is using his trunk to pick up not only food, but also human vocabulary. An international team of scientists confirmed Friday what the Everland Zoo has been saying for years: Their 5.5-ton elephant Koshik has an unusual talent. The 22-year-old Asian elephant can reproduce five Korean words by putting his trunk inside his mouth to imitate sound. Scientists said he may have started imitating human speech because he was lonely. One of the researchers said there is no conclusive evidence that Koshik understands the sounds he makes, although the elephant does respond to words like “anja (sit down)” and “nuwo (lie down).” Koshik is particularly good with vowels (元音), with a rate of similarity of 67 percent, the researchers said. For consonants (辅音) he scores only 21 percent. Researchers said the clearest scientific evidence that Koshik is deliberately imitating human speech is that the sound frequency of his words matches that of his trainers. Vocal imitation of other species has been found in mockingbirds, parrots and mynahs. But the paper says Koshik’s case represents “a wholly new method of vocal production” because he uses his trunk to reproduce human speech. In 1983, zoo officials in Kazakhstan reportedly claimed that a teenage elephant named Batyr could reproduce Russian to “say” 20 phrases, including “Batyr is good.” But there was no scientific study on the claim. Researchers believe Koshik learned to reproduce words out of a desire to bond with his trainers after he was separated from two other elephants at age 5. Oh Suk-hun, who co-authored the research paper with Stoeger-Horwath and Mietchen, said the elephant apparently started imitating human speech to win the trust of his trainers. Kim Jong-gab, Koshik’s chief trainer, said the elephant was timid for a male when he first came to the Everland Zoo, so trainers often slept in the same area with him. Kim thinks that contact helped Koshik feel closer to humans. 46. What do we know about Koshik? A. He is a newcomer to the zoo. B. His talent has been discovered recently. C. His imitation of consonants is not so good. D. He began to imitate human speech at age 5. 47. Which of the following statements is right? A. Batyr is less clever than Koshik B. it is common to see elephants imitate C. elephants are good at imitating human speech D. Koshik’s talent is really unusual among elephants 48. According to the scientists, Koshik imitated human speech ________. A. from zoo visitors B. to fight loneliness C. with the help of his trainers D. for the purpose of performance 49. The underlined word “timid” in the last paragraph probably means _________. A. shy B. friendly C. cold D. proud 50. What would be the best title for the text? A. Clever animals B. Speech experts C. Talking elephant D. Talkative species IV.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文, 并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Steve and Rob opened their home and their hearts to not just one, but six siblings(兄弟姐妹)who had spent almost five years in the foster(寄养的)care system. Steve said, “At first, we thought it would be great to have these kids at our home for some time and help them, but when I saw those eyes, I changed my mind. So even though we have two adult kids, we still decided to raise the smaller children and adopt them. ” The couple was inspired to adopt children who are siblings after they saw a TV story about another family that did the same thing. They started researching the idea and saw how many siblings were broken up in the foster care system, and the fact simply broke their hearts. The couple saw the children on an Ohio adoption website in early 2018. Amazingly, the siblings were never separated during their stay in the foster care system. “ However, the kids, who were teenagers, were hard to place, which made me nervous when I tried to communicate with them. I wanted to throw in the towel, ” Steve said, “but Rob encouraged me to continue. ” When the home studies and background checks were completed, Steve and Rob began emailing the documents to the children’s caseworker. Finally, they were matched with the kids in June 2018 and met them for the first time on July 2. While everyone was nervous at first, they developed a relationship of trust quickly after the first meeting. The children came to live with Steve and Rob a month later and never left. Steve quit his job so that he could be a full-time dad to take care of them, and bought a minibus to transport the much larger Anderson-McLean family. Some families are made through blood, but some like the Anderson-McLean family are made through love. 51. What was Steve and Rob’ s original idea?

A week ago, however, when he had chocolate on his face and I licked (舔) my finger to wipe it off, he said, “Don’t put your dirty water on me, please.” A week ago, I wouldn’t have been sitting here with him during breakfast. We always had dinner together at the table, but our other meals got much less attention, because my husband and I were so busy that we had to do the chores during breakfast or lunch. Why was I not sitting down with my son? It could take Jack an hour to eat a meal, during which I could feel the tug (猛拉) of unanswered emails, a deadline, and the unswept floor each minute. Then we went to visit friends for a weekend. They have two kids. They’re busy, professional, and good parents. And at every meal — not just dinner — we all sat down at the table and ate. When we got home, my husband said, “Maybe we should be doing that.” I took this as criticism. My husband works a lot, so mealtimes are mostly under my charge. The “we” he was talking about was me. Then, I reminded myself that I’m a big girl, and took his comment the way it was meant. We both want what’s best for Jack. Yes, I thought. I’m home. I have to eat, too. So I’ve been sitting. And, surprise. I haven’t missed a deadline. The house has not become filled with filth and muck. And Jack seems to like having me there. Two days ago, over lunch, he smiled and stared at me. “What?” I asked, amused. “Mommy, I love you so much and I can’t stop loving you.” I could’ve missed that. God, I could’ve missed that. 41.

An international team of scientists confirmed Friday what the Everland Zoo has been saying for years: Their 5.5-ton elephant Koshik has an unusual talent. The 22-year-old Asian elephant can reproduce five Korean words by putting his trunk inside his mouth to imitate sound. Scientists said he may have started imitating human speech because he was lonely. One of the researchers said there is no conclusive evidence that Koshik understands the sounds he makes, although the elephant does respond to words like “anja (sit down)” and “nuwo (lie down).” Koshik is particularly good with vowels (元音), with a rate of similarity of 67 percent, the researchers said. For consonants (辅音) he scores only 21 percent. Researchers said the clearest scientific evidence that Koshik is deliberately imitating human speech is that the sound frequency of his words matches that of his trainers. Vocal imitation of other species has been found in mockingbirds, parrots and mynahs. But the paper says Koshik’s case represents “a wholly new method of vocal production” because he uses his trunk to reproduce human speech. In 1983, zoo officials in Kazakhstan reportedly claimed that a teenage elephant named Batyr could reproduce Russian to “say” 20 phrases, including “Batyr is good.” But there was no scientific study on the claim. Researchers believe Koshik learned to reproduce words out of a desire to bond with his trainers after he was separated from two other elephants at age 5. Oh Suk-hun, who co-authored the research paper with Stoeger-Horwath and Mietchen, said the elephant apparently started imitating human speech to win the trust of his trainers. Kim Jong-gab, Koshik’s chief trainer, said the elephant was timid for a male when he first came to the Everland Zoo, so trainers often slept in the same area with him. Kim thinks that contact helped Koshik feel closer to humans. 46. What do we know about Koshik? A. He is a newcomer to the zoo. B. His talent has been discovered recently. C. His imitation of consonants is not so good. D. He began to imitate human speech at age 5. 47. Which of the following statements is right? A. Batyr is less clever than Koshik B. it is common to see elephants imitate C. elephants are good at imitating human speech D Koshik’s talent is really unusual among elephants 48. According to the scientists, Koshik imitated human speech ________. A. from zoo visitors B to fight loneliness C. with the help of his trainers D. for the purpose of performance 49. The underlined word “timid” in the last paragraph probably means _________. A. shy B. friendly C. cold D. proud 50. What would be the best title for the text? A. Clever animals B. Speech experts C. Talking elephant D. Talkative species 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲了韩国一个动物园一头大象会模仿人说简单的话，这个特点让它成为名副其实的“会说话的大象”，它成了动物爱好者和儿童中的明星。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。由第五段“Koshik is particularly good with vowels (元音), with a rate of similarity of 67 percent, the researchers said. For consonants (辅音) he scores only 21 percent. (研究人员表示，Koshik尤其擅长元音，相似率为67%。辅音方面，它的分数只有21%)”可知，Koshik对辅音的模仿不是很好。故选C项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中“Their 5.5-ton elephant Koshik has an unusual talent. (他们5.5吨重的大象Koshik有着不同寻常的天赋)”可知，Koshik的天赋在大象中真的很不寻常，D项正确。故选D项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中“Scientists said he may have started imitating human speech because he was lonely. (科学家表示，Koshik可能是因为孤独而开始模仿人类语言的)”可知，Koshik模仿人类语言可能是为了与孤独作斗争。故选B项。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。由最后一段中“Kim Jong-gab, Koshik’s chief trainer, said the elephant was timid for a male when he first came to the Everland Zoo, so trainers often slept in the same area with him. (Koshik的首席驯兽师Kim Jong-gab说，当这头大象第一次来到Everland动物园时，它对雄性来说timid，所以驯兽师经常和它睡在同一个地方)”可知，Koshik首次来到Everland动物园，应该对环境是陌生的，驯兽师经常和它睡在同一个地方，可得出Koshik那时很胆小，划线词意为“shy (怕生的、胆小的)”。故选A项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段“An elephant in a South Korean zoo is using his trunk to pick up not only food, but also human vocabulary. (韩国动物园里的一头大象不仅用鼻子捡食物，还会学习人类的词汇)”和下文内容可知，本文主要讲了韩国一个动物园一头大象会模仿人说简单的话，这个特点让它成为名副其实的“会说话的大象”，它成了动物爱好者和儿童中的明星，C项“会说话的大象”符合。故选C项。 IV.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文, 并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Steve and Rob opened their home and their hearts to not just one, but six siblings(兄弟姐妹)who had spent almost five years in the foster(寄养的)care system. Steve said, “At first, we thought it would be great to have these kids at our home for some time and help them, but when I saw those eyes, I changed my mind. So even though we have two adult kids, we still decided to raise the smaller children and adopt them. ” The couple was inspired to adopt children who are siblings after they saw a TV story about another family that did the same thing. They started researching the idea and saw how many siblings were broken up in the foster care system, and the fact simply broke their hearts. The couple saw the children on an Ohio adoption website in early 2018. Amazingly, the siblings were never separated during their stay in the foster care system. “ However, the kids, who were teenagers, were hard to place, which made me nervous when I tried to communicate with them. I wanted to throw in the towel, ” Steve said, “but Rob encouraged me to continue. ” When the home studies and background checks were completed, Steve and Rob began emailing the documents to the children’s caseworker. Finally, they were matched with the kids in June 2018 and met them for the first time on July 2. While everyone was nervous at first, they developed a relationship of trust quickly after the first meeting. The children came to live with Steve and Rob a month later and never left. Steve quit his job so that he could be a full-time dad to take care of them, and bought a minibus to transport the much larger Anderson-McLean family. Some families are made through blood, but some like the Anderson-McLean family are made through love. 51. What was Steve and Rob’ s original idea? (no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________ 52. Why did Steve and Rob decide to adopt the siblings?(no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________ 53. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean? (no more than 5 words) _____________________________________________________________ 54. What did Steve do to take care of the siblings? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________ 55. What do you think of the couple? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. They wanted the siblings to stay at their home for a while and help them. 52. Because they saw a TV story of a family adopting siblings./Because they saw a TV story of a family that adopted siblings. 53. Steve/He/I wanted to give up. 54. He quit his job and bought a minibus. 55. I think they’re kind and warm-hearted, because they’re willing to adopt the six siblings who lost their parents. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一对夫妇收养六个孩子的故事。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“At first, we thought it would be great to have these kids at our home for some time and help them, but when I saw those eyes, I changed my mind. (起初，我们认为让这些孩子在我们家住一段时间并帮助他们会很好，但当我看到他们的眼睛时，我改变了主意。)”可知，史蒂夫和罗布最初的想法是想让兄弟姐妹在家里呆一段时间，帮助他们。故答案为They wanted the siblings to stay at their home for a while and help them. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“The couple was inspired to adopt children who are siblings after they saw a TV story about another family that did the same thing. They started researching the idea and saw how many siblings were broken up in the foster care system, and the fact simply broke their hearts. (这对夫妇在电视上看到另一个家庭收养兄妹的故事后，受到了启发。他们开始研究这个想法，看到有多少兄弟姐妹在寄养系统中被分开了，这个事实让他们心碎。)”可知，因为他们在电视上看到一个家庭收养兄弟姐妹的故事，史蒂夫和罗布决定收养这对兄弟姐妹。故答案为Because they saw a TV story of a family adopting siblings./Because they saw a TV story of a family that adopted siblings. 【53题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据划线词前句“However, the kids, who were teenagers, were hard to place, which made me nervous when I tried to communicate with them.(然而，那些十几岁的孩子很难定位，这让我在试图与他们交流时感到紧张。)”和后句“but Rob encouraged me to continue. (但罗布鼓励我继续。)”可推断，史蒂夫想放弃。故答案为Steve/He/I wanted to give up. 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“Steve quit his job so that he could be a full-time dad to take care of them, and bought a minibus to transport the much larger Anderson-McLean family. (史蒂夫辞掉了工作，这样他就可以做一个全职父亲来照顾他们，他买了一辆小巴来接送安德森-麦克莱恩的大家庭。)”可知，史蒂夫辞掉了工作，买了一辆小巴，来照顾兄弟姐妹。故答案为He quit his job and bought a minibus. 【55题详解】 考查推理判断。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了一对夫妇收养六个孩子的故事，所以推断这对夫妇是很善良和热心的，因为他们愿意收养六个失去父母的兄弟姐妹。故答案为I think they’re kind and warm-hearted, because they’re willing to adopt the six siblings who lost their parents. V.单词拼写(根据汉语提示单词拼写)(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 56. All riders are ________ (配备) with reflective vests and safety lights.
