It cried louder and louder. An old woman was watching the father. She walked across to the young father and she smiled. She said, “You are doing very well, young man.

In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 36. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1? A. Humans may not like animals. B. Scientists know nothing about it. C. Nobody knows why this happens. D. A new study adds chickens to the list. 37. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A. B. C. D. 38. How did the volunteers help with the research? A. By listening to the chicken calls. B. By taking care of the chickens. C. By finding food for the chickens. D. By making the chickens happy. 39. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Control. B. Hide. C. Recognize. D. Hurt. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chickens’ Food Calls B. Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C. Farmers’ Best Choice D. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers 【答案】36. D 37. D 38. A 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文进行一个研究，研究结果表明人类可以通过听鸡的叫声来判断它是高兴还是悲伤。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ... It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.”可知，空前提到牛、青蛙和熊猫，空后提到鸡，选项D “一项新的研究将鸡加入了这个名单” 符合语境，故选D。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds”可知，当鸡看到门后有食物时，它们似乎很高兴，并发出快速而响亮的声音。选项D符合 “快速而响亮的声音” 这一描述，故选D。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The recordings were played to 194 volunteers.”可知，这些录音播放给194名志愿者听，所以志愿者们是通过听鸡叫来帮助这项研究，故选A。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings.”可知，一些科学家已经在研究一种可以……鸡的情感的智能计算机程序。联系前文可知，是为了识别鸡的情感，故选C。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。本文介绍研究结果表明人类可以通过听鸡的叫声来判断它是高兴还是悲伤，选项B “快乐的鸡，悲伤的鸡” 符合主题，故选B。 D A new study has found that when it comes to art, babies seem to like the same things as adults do. The finding suggests that appreciating (欣赏) paintings is natural, rather than something humans learn over time. Scientists performed a study using artworks by Vincent van Gogh The study included 25 babies between the ages of 4 and 8 months and 25 adults ages 18 to 43. Researchers showed them 45 pairs of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings on iPads. The babies were sitting on a parent’s knee. They were shown the paintings for five seconds at a time. The team noted which of the two paintings the babies looked at longer. That was noted as the artwork the babies “preferred”. The adults were asked which painting they liked more. The team found that babies looked longer at the same paintings that adults liked most. These paintings had bright colors and more color and light differences. Philip McAdams worked on the study. He said that one reason babies liked those artworks could be that their eyesight isn’t fully developed. They can see paintings better when they have more easily noticeable differences. It means the brain finds it easier to process what the eyes are seeing. There were also some differences in tastes. Babies preferred paintings that included many edges (边缘)—such as the edges of leaves. But adults did not. Babies also preferred pictures with curved lines (曲线). McAdams said that was not surprising. Because a face has lots of curves on it. And babies have this very strong preference for looking at faces from the moment they are born. Babies also spent the longest time looking at pictures that showed things they could make out. McAdams thinks that further studies will be needed to find out whether the babies actually like the paintings or just find them more interesting to look at. 41. Why did scientists study the art preferences of babies and adults? A. To check if babies know how to paint. B. To find out if art appreciation is something people are born with. C. To understand how age influences art preferences. D. To compare art preferences of different age groups. 42. How long was each painting shown to the babies? A. 4 seconds. B. 5 seconds. C. 8 seconds. D. 45 seconds. 43. How did the study find out which paintings babies prefer? A. By the time. B. By the question. C. By the color. D. By the light. 44. What taste differences between babies and adults did the study find? A. Babies are drawn to edges. B. Adults prefer bright colors. C. Babies favor smiling faces. D. Adults enjoy detailed paintings. 45. What does McAdams suggest about the study? A. Perfect design. B. Different methods. C. More research. D. New paintings. 【答案】41 B 42. B 43. A 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一项关于婴儿和成年人对艺术品审美偏好的研究，研究发现婴儿和成年人在艺术欣赏上具有相似偏好，表明艺术欣赏可能是天生的而非后天习得。 【41题详解】 第一段明确指出：“The finding suggests that appreciating paintings is natural, rather than something humans learn over time”，说明科学家进行这项研究是为了探究艺术欣赏是否是天生的。 【42题详解】 第二段提到：“They were shown the paintings for five seconds at a time”，说明每幅画向婴儿展示5秒钟。 【43题详解】 第三段指出：“The team noted which of the two paintings the babies looked at longer. That was noted as the artwork the babies ‘preferred’”，说明通过观察婴儿看哪幅画时间更长来判断其偏好。 【44题详解】 第五段提到：“Babies preferred paintings that included many edges...But adults did not”，说明婴儿和成年人在对边缘的偏好上存在差异。 【45题详解】 最后一段明确指出：“McAdams thinks that further studies will be needed”，说明他认为需要更多的研究。 第二节 （每小题1分，共5分） E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 There are many humanistic monuments (人文古迹) and natural scenic spots (景点) in textbooks.

Protecting 69. our 70. in 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了中国非物质文化遗产——铁花表演的历史、表演过程、举办场景及传承意义。 【61题详解】 句意：最令人激动的非物质文化遗产之一是铁花表演。“one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”是固定结构，意为“最……的……之一”，形容词最高级前必须加定冠词the。故填the。 【62题详解】 句意：它有着悠久的历史，深深植根于当地文化中。deep“深的”是形容词，句中“rooted”为动词的过去分词，意为“植根于”，动词需要由副词来修饰，deep的副词形式为deeply，deeply rooted表示“深深植根于”。故填deeply。 【63题详解】 句意：铁花表演不仅是一种特殊的艺术形式，也是人们表达美好愿望的一种方式。固定搭配not only...but also...“不但……而且……”，该搭配专门用于连接两个并列的成分，表递进关系。故填but。 【64题详解】 句意：当铁水遇到冷空气时，就会变成美丽的火花，就像一阵花雨。句子描述的是铁水遇冷空气变成火花这一客观、固定的自然现象和表演规律，需使用一般现在时。主语it指代“the liquid iron”，为第三人称单数，谓语动词turn需变为第三人称单数形式turns。故填turns。 【65题详解】 句意：这种传统表演通常在重要节日期间举行，比如春节。festival“节日”，可数名词，此处指“重要的节日”，结合常识和语境可知，“重要的节日”不止一个，需要使用festival的复数形式。故填festivals。 【66题详解】 句意：人们聚集在一起观看这场精彩的表演。show是名词，意为“表演”，名词需要用形容词来修饰；wonder可作动词 (意为 “想知道”) 或名词 (意为 “奇迹”)，其对应的形容词形式是“wonderful”，意为 “精彩的”。故填wonderful。 【67题详解】 句意：去年，我有机会和家人一起观看铁花表演，美丽的火花让我们感到惊叹。句中时间状语Last year表明动作发生在过去，因此谓语动词需用过去式，feel的过去式是felt。故填felt。 【68题详解】 句意：保护和传承铁花表演具有重要意义。and连接两个并列成分共同作主语，and后的passing down是动名词形式，根据并列结构的一致性原则，空格处也需用动名词形式。protect“保护”，动词，动名词是 protecting，且位于句首首字母需大写。故填Protecting。 【69题详解】 句意：它有助于让我们的传统文化保持活力。 we“我们”，是人称代词主格空后“traditional culture”是名词短语，意为“传统文化”，需要用形容词性物主代词来修饰，we的形容词性物主代词是our，意为“我们的”。故填our。 【70题详解】 句意：越来越多的年轻人对它产生了兴趣，并开始学习相关技艺。 “get interested in...”是固定搭配，意为 “对……产生兴趣”。故填in。 Ⅷ. 书面表达（15分） 71. 假设你是李华，上周你们学校组织到红星农场研学旅行。请你结合以下提示，用英语写一封邮件给你的外国笔友Sam,向他介绍活动过程及你的感受。词数80左右。 Time: Last Friday Place: Red Star Farm Activities: ●feed chickens ●milk a cow ●grow vegetables ●pick apples Feelings … 注意事项： 1. 必须包含所有提示信息，可适当发挥，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 意思清楚，表达通顺，行文连贯，书写规范； 3. 请勿在文中使用真实的姓名、校名和地名。 Dear Sam, How is everything going? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】范文： Dear Sam, How is everything going?

There was a very young baby in the pram and it was crying loudly. The young father said softly, “Take it easy, Martin. Keep calm, Martin. Control yourself, Martin.” The young father walked on but the child cried louder. The father stopped and took a Teddy bear out of a bag. He gave it to the child. He said softly, “Take it easy, Martin. Keep calm, Martin. Control yourself. Martin.” The young father started to push the pram again. After a few minutes the child began to cry. It cried louder and longer. The father put his hand into his pocket and took out some chocolate. He gave a piece to the child and said softly, “Take It easy, Martin, Keep calm, Martin. Control yourself. Martin.” The young father walked on. Three minutes later the child started to cry. It cried louder and louder and louder. The father took the baby out of the pram and held it in his arms. He said softly. “Take it easy, Martin. Keep calm, Martin. Control yourself, Martin.” The child did not stop crying. It cried louder and louder. An old woman was watching the father. She walked across to the young father and she smiled. She said, “You are doing very well, young man. You talk to the child with a calm and quiet voice.” The old woman looked at the child and said, “What’s wrong, Martin. Why are you crying?” The father said quickly, “He is so young that he can’t say and understand what you are talking!” 31. How many times did the young father comfort (安抚) the baby? A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six 32. Which picture can describe the underlined word “pram” in Paragraph 1? A. B. C. D. 33 What did the father take out to comfort the baby?

The old woman said to the baby in order to________. A. play jokes on the baby B. praise the father C. give the father a hand D. laugh at the baby C People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 36. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1? A. Humans may not like animals. B. Scientists know nothing about it. C. Nobody knows why this happens. D. A new study adds chickens to the list. 37. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A. B. C. D. 38. How did the volunteers help with the research? A. By listening to the chicken calls. B. By taking care of the chickens. C. By finding food for the chickens. D. By making the chickens happy. 39. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Control. B. Hide. C. Recognize. D. Hurt. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chickens’ Food Calls B. Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C. Farmers’ Best Choice D. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers D A new study has found that when it comes to art, babies seem to like the same things as adults do. The finding suggests that appreciating (欣赏) paintings is natural, rather than something humans learn over time. Scientists performed a study using artworks by Vincent van Gogh. The study included 25 babies between the ages of 4 and 8 months and 25 adults ages 18 to 43. Researchers showed them 45 pairs of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings on iPads. The babies were sitting on a parent’s knee. They were shown the paintings for five seconds at a time. The team noted which of the two paintings the babies looked at longer. That was noted as the artwork the babies “preferred”. The adults were asked which painting they liked more. The team found that babies looked longer at the same paintings that adults liked most. These paintings had bright colors and more color and light differences. Philip McAdams worked on the study. He said that one reason babies liked those artworks could be that their eyesight isn’t fully developed. They can see paintings better when they have more easily noticeable differences. It means the brain finds it easier to process what the eyes are seeing. There were also some differences in tastes. Babies preferred paintings that included many edges (边缘)—such as the edges of leaves. But adults did not. Babies also preferred pictures with curved lines (曲线). McAdams said that was not surprising. Because a face has lots of curves on it. And babies have this very strong preference for looking at faces from the moment they are born. Babies also spent the longest time looking at pictures that showed things they could make out. McAdams thinks that further studies will be needed to find out whether the babies actually like the paintings or just find them more interesting to look at. 41. Why did scientists study the art preferences of babies and adults? A. To check if babies know how to paint. B. To find out if art appreciation is something people are born with. C. To understand how age influences art preferences. D. To compare art preferences of different age groups. 42. How long was each painting shown to the babies? A. 4 seconds. B. 5 seconds. C. 8 seconds. D. 45 seconds. 43. How did the study find out which paintings babies prefer? A. By the time. B. By the question. C. By the color. D. By the light. 44. What taste differences between babies and adults did the study find? A. Babies are drawn to edges. B. Adults prefer bright colors. C. Babies favor smiling faces. D. Adults enjoy detailed paintings. 45. What does McAdams suggest about the study? A. Perfect design. B. Different methods. C. More research. D. New paintings. 第二节 （每小题1分，共5分） E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 There are many humanistic monuments (人文古迹) and natural scenic spots (景点) in textbooks.
