Midnight could also help take care of Jones’ health.”。根据Midnight不仅是他的情感支柱还能照顾他的健康可知，午夜对Jones来说非常重要。 【8题详解】 第三段提到：“The workers there were kind. They invited him for coffee and a meal.”。这句话直接记录了收容所的工作人员邀请Jones喝咖啡并用餐的行为。 【9题详解】 第四段提到：“Soon after, Jones and Midnight got a room in the shelter. They started a new life.”。文章结尾明确交代了Jones和爱犬一起在收容所获得了房间并开启新生活。 【10题详解】 纵观全文，Jones在困境中始终坚持带着爱犬Midnight寻找住所，第三段提到：“…he decided to find a place for them to live.”，且结尾两人共同安顿下来。选项D“共同寻找新家”高度概括了文章的核心情节与主旨。 C Elephants are the largest land animals in the world. They have amazing trunks. Elephants can use their trunks to do a great many things, such as picking up food, digging holes for water, throwing water or sand on their backs to cool down and advising other elephants. The muscles and wrinkles (肌肉和褶皱) of the trunk help them do these things. The wrinkles make it possible for the trunk to move easily. But do you know? Just as some people are left-handed and others are right-handed, there are also “left-trunked” and “right-trunked” elephants. People can tell this by looking at the wrinkles on their trunks. A new study has found this. Why do elephants have “left-trunked” and “right-trunked” differences? Scientists find that elephants like to bend (弯曲) their trunks to one side to put food into their mouths. As time goes by, the trunk on this side gets more wrinkles than the other side. Elephants have about a 50:50 chance (几率) of being “left-trunked” or “right-trunked”. So, it’s not surprising that scientists find half of elephants’ trunks have more wrinkles on the right, and half on the left. What’s more, Asian elephants have more wrinkles on their trunks than African elephants. African elephants have two finger-like structures (指状结构) at the end of their trunks to get things, but Asian elephants have only one. So Asian elephants bend their trunks more often to get things than African elephants. The study helps us learn about elephant skin wrinkles and gives us a new way to look into the growth of the largest land animals. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 11. What can elephants do with their trunks according to the text? ①Get food. ②Dig holes. ③Say hi to one another. ④Give advice to others. ⑤Make themselves feel cool. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④⑤ D. ②③④⑤ 12. How can we tell if an elephant is “left-trunked” or “right-trunked”? A. By looking at the color of their trunks. B. By looking at the shape of their trunks. C. By looking at the muscles on their trunks. D. By looking at the wrinkles on their trunks. 13. According to Paragraph 4, if there are 70 elephants, how many “right-trunked” elephants might be? A. About seven. B. About ten. C. About thirty-five. D. About fifty. 14. Why do African elephants have fewer wrinkles on their trunks than Asian elephants? A. Their trunks are shorter. B. They bend their trunks more often. C. They’re smarter and can get food more easily. D. Their trunks have one more finger-like structure. 15. In which part of a magazine can we read the text? A. Interesting Facts. B. Around Asia. C. Warm Stories. D. Travel and Holidays. 【答案】11. C 12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了关于大象象鼻皱纹的一项新研究，解释了象鼻也分“左撇子”和“右撇子”的现象及其成因，并对比了亚洲象与非洲象在象鼻结构上的差异。 【11题详解】 第一段中提到的象鼻用途：“…picking up food, digging holes for water, throwing water or sand on their backs to cool down and advising other elephants.”。文中明确列举了获取食物（①）、挖洞（②）、建议同伴（④）以及让自己凉快（⑤），未提及相互问候（③）。 【12题详解】 第二段中提到：“People can tell this by looking at the wrinkles on their trunks.”。这句话直接说明了通过观察象鼻上的皱纹分布，可以判定大象是“左撇子”还是“右撇子”。 【13题详解】 第四段中提到：“Elephants have about a 50:50 chance…half of elephants’ trunks have more wrinkles on the right…”。文中指出大象习惯用左侧或右侧的几率各占一半，因此70头大象中习惯用右侧的约有35头。 【14题详解】 第五段提到：“African elephants have two finger-like structures…but Asian elephants have only one.”，且下文指出：“So Asian elephants bend their trunks more often…than African elephants.”。结合第三段提到的“弯曲越多皱纹越多”的原理，可以推断出非洲象因为比亚洲象多了一个指状结构，从而减少了象鼻弯曲的次数，导致皱纹更少。 【15题详解】 纵观全文，文章科普了大象生理结构和生长习性方面的科学知识。这类内容最可能出现在杂志的“有趣事实”版块。 D Everyone likes to listen to stories. Besides, telling stories is an important skill in life. ___16___ Here is some advice. ◆ ___17___ The story you tell should be meaningful to you, or it won’t be meaningful to your listeners. So find those stories that really touch you. ◆Use body language. ___18___ Talk about different people in different ways. If you can “act” them out in lively (生动的) body language, your story will be more interesting! ◆Find a proper place. ___19___ In a noisy environment, it’s very hard for people to keep quiet to listen to stories. Even the best stories can be boring if you have to stop from time to time because of other things. ◆Allow for interaction (互动). Allowing listeners to join in the experience will make your storytelling even better. ___20___ And you can also find other ways for them to interact with you during the experience. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整，并将其标号填写在下面题号后的横线上。 A. Tell stories that touch you. B. Remember, your body also speaks. C. Make sure the place isn’t too noisy. D. You can ask your listeners questions. E. How can you become a better storyteller? 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. B 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何成为一名优秀的讲故事的人，并从选择有意义的故事、利用肢体语言、寻找合适的场所以及增加互动四个方面给出了具体建议。 【16题详解】 根据空后一句“Here is some advice.”以及前文提到讲故事是一项重要技能可知，此处应提出一个问题来引出下文的建议。E项“How can you become a better storyteller?”能自然地衔接上下文。 【17题详解】 根据空后提到“The story you tell should be meaningful to you…So find those stories that really touch you.”可知，讲故事的人首先要找到能触动自己的、有意义的故事。A项“Tell stories that touch you.”是对本段建议的高度概括。 【18题详解】 根据该小节标题“Use body language.”以及空后提到“If you can ‘act’ them out in lively (生动的) body language”可知，此处强调身体动作在讲故事中的作用。B项“Remember, your body also speaks.”是对利用肢体语言这一建议的生动诠释。 【19题详解】 根据该小节标题“Find a proper place.”以及空后提到“In a noisy environment, it’s very hard for people to keep quiet…”可知，讲故事的场所应避开嘈杂。C项“Make sure the place isn’t too noisy.”与后文提到的噪音干扰逻辑一致。 【20题详解】 根据该小节标题“Allow for interaction (互动).”以及空后提到“And you can also find other ways for them to interact with you…”可知，此处应提供一个具体的互动方法。D项“You can ask your listeners questions.”是一种互动方式，符合语境。 三、完形填空（15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 先通读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 Once upon a time, there was a very poor girl named Amy.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述孤苦女孩Amy独自生活，富家女孩Gina主动关心帮助她，后来Gina意外受伤重病，Amy献血悉心照顾回报对方，两人情谊愈发深厚、超越普通朋友的故事。 【21题详解】 句意：没有人爱她，所以她感到孤独，想要有一个朋友。 由后文“felt lonely感到孤独”可知没人关爱她，Nobody表示没有人；Someone某人、Anyone任何人、Everybody每个人均不符合孤独的语境。 【22题详解】 句意：她总是提醒自己要对别人友善。 remind oneself为固定搭配，意为“提醒自己”；found发现、expected期待、offered主动提供，都不能和反身代词搭配表达此意。 【23题详解】 句意：一个名叫吉娜的富家女孩朝她微笑，然后慢慢走了过来。 由后文吉娜主动上前关心艾米可知是友好的举动，smiled微笑符合语境；shouted大喊、pointed指着、threw扔都不友好。 【24题详解】 句意：她询问能为艾米做些什么。 what作do的宾语，表示“做什么”；how怎样、which哪一个、why为什么，无法作do的宾语，句式不成立。 【25题详解】 句意：艾米婉拒了吉娜，然后领着吉娜走进她的房子喝茶。 前文提到艾米住在一间老旧小石屋里，house房子符合上下文；tower塔楼、stone石头、school学校均无依据。 【26题详解】 句意：房子里几乎一无所有，于是吉娜决定帮助她。 make a decision是固定短语，意为“做决定”；guess猜测、change改变、training训练，都不能构成合适搭配。 【27题详解】 句意：吉娜住在一栋又大又漂亮、有着明亮灯光的房子里。 由big and beautiful可知环境很好，bright明亮的符合语境；dark昏暗的、cheap廉价的、broken破旧的和豪宅氛围不符。 【28题详解】 句意：她发现艾米的衣服很旧，自己的衣服也适合艾米穿，所以吉娜经常把衣服分享给艾米。 fit表示“（衣物）合身、适合”；excited使兴奋、married结婚、hurt伤害，都和衣服穿搭无关。 【29题详解】 句意：吉娜关心她，一直帮助她。 cared for意为“关心、照顾”；depended on依靠、took after长得像、picked up捡起，都不符合主动帮扶的文意。 【30题详解】 句意：吉娜的所作所为让艾米很感动，所以她决定必要时为吉娜做些事作为回报。 前半句是原因，后半句是结果，so因此、所以符合逻辑；but但是、if如果、or否则逻辑不通。 【31题详解】 句意：有一天，吉娜正在搬重物时，摔倒在地，重物砸到了她的头部。 carry有“搬运、拿重物”的含义，符合语境；cheating欺骗、shooting射击、beating击打均和搬重物场景无关。 【32题详解】 句意：她病得很重，还发着高烧。 seriously ill是固定搭配，表示“病得严重”；heavily沉重地、completely完全地、slowly缓慢地都不能修饰生病状态。 【33题详解】 句意：她身体太虚弱，走不了路。 生病发烧后身体虚弱，weak表示“虚弱”；strong强壮的、silly愚蠢的、careless粗心的都不符合生病后的身体状态。 【34题详解】 句意：医生说吉娜急需大量血液。 由后文Amy和吉娜血型相同并献血可知，需要的是blood血液；money钱、water水、time时间和后文献血情节不对应。 【35题详解】 句意：两个女孩比以前关系亲近得多，她们早已超越普通朋友。 closer表示“关系更亲近”；simpler更简单、finer更好、smarter更聪明均不能形容人际关系。 四、语篇填空（15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 第一节 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。请将答案写在下面题号后的横线上。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 usual worry compare strong in they change develop and truth For most teenagers, growing up is a good thing.

Finding a New Home Together C Elephants are the largest land animals in the world. They have amazing trunks. Elephants can use their trunks to do a great many things, such as picking up food, digging holes for water, throwing water or sand on their backs to cool down and advising other elephants. The muscles and wrinkles (肌肉和褶皱) of the trunk help them do these things. The wrinkles make it possible for the trunk to move easily. But do you know? Just as some people are left-handed and others are right-handed, there are also “left-trunked” and “right-trunked” elephants. People can tell this by looking at the wrinkles on their trunks. A new study has found this. Why do elephants have “left-trunked” and “right-trunked” differences? Scientists find that elephants like to bend (弯曲) their trunks to one side to put food into their mouths. As time goes by, the trunk on this side gets more wrinkles than the other side. Elephants have about a 50:50 chance (几率) of being “left-trunked” or “right-trunked”. So, it’s not surprising that scientists find half of elephants’ trunks have more wrinkles on the right, and half on the left. What’s more, Asian elephants have more wrinkles on their trunks than African elephants. African elephants have two finger-like structures (指状结构) at the end of their trunks to get things, but Asian elephants have only one. So Asian elephants bend their trunks more often to get things than African elephants. The study helps us learn about elephant skin wrinkles and gives us a new way to look into the growth of the largest land animals. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 11. What can elephants do with their trunks according to the text? ①Get food. ②Dig holes. ③Say hi to one another. ④Give advice to others. ⑤Make themselves feel cool. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④⑤ D. ②③④⑤ 12. How can we tell if an elephant is “left-trunked” or “right-trunked”? A. By looking at the color of their trunks. B. By looking at the shape of their trunks. C. By looking at the muscles on their trunks. D. By looking at the wrinkles on their trunks. 13. According to Paragraph 4, if there are 70 elephants, how many “right-trunked” elephants might be? A. About seven. B. About ten. C. About thirty-five. D. About fifty. 14. Why do African elephants have fewer wrinkles on their trunks than Asian elephants? A. Their trunks are shorter. B. They bend their trunks more often. C. They’re smarter and can get food more easily. D. Their trunks have one more finger-like structure. 15. In which part of a magazine can we read the text? A. Interesting Facts. B. Around Asia. C. Warm Stories. D. Travel and Holidays. D Everyone likes to listen to stories.
