I could feel her body shaking as she tried not to cry but failed. For all of my twenty-four years, my mom had been supportive. Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me. Now I knew it would have to flow the other way. Mom didn’t stay down for long. After the shock of breast cancer, she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors. She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school. “The not-knowing is the worst.” she said. The operation was successful. The chemo (化疗) was the harder part. I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. She hardly complained, though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one. She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills, even though she never wore nail polish. “Cancer can take my hair, my nails, my health, my very life. But it can’t take my smile.” Mom said. Mom learned to share her fears with me, and it formed an even deeper connection between us. Yet, I am certain there were fears she didn’t share because she was still protecting me—worries she only shared with Dad. Even in the darkest hours, she would just joke about the cancer. Mom always said, “When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it, you take away some of its power.” Mom was one of the lucky ones. She did beat her cancer, though not without scars (伤疤) From her, I’ve learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it. 19. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A. There were other useful ways to treat cancer. B. Knowledge of cancer would be helpful. C. Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer. D. I should be the one supporting and caring for Mom. 20. Which of the following words can best describe Mom? A. Positive and determined. B. Caring and knowledgeable. C. Humorous and responsible. D. Helpful and successful. 21. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A. The jokes Mom told me. B. The fear Mom shared with me. C. The ways Mom faced fear. D. The connection Mom and I formed. 22. What lesson did the author learn from Mom? A. Jokes matter in beating diseases. B. Positiveness gets one through hardship. C. Fear does no good to one’s health. D. Sharing helps reduce suffering a lot. 【答案】19. D 20. A 21. C 22. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者的母亲确诊乳腺癌后，以积极乐观的态度面对病痛、坚持与癌症抗争的经历，作者从中感悟到面对困境时选择积极心态的重要性。 【19题详解】 第2段“For all of my twenty-four years, my mom had been supportive. Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me. Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.”，母亲一直给予作者力量与保护，现在母亲生病，需要作者反过来支持和照顾她，因此 “flow the other way”指角色互换，作者成为照顾者。 【20题详解】 原文，母亲确诊后积极记录病情、配合治疗，化疗时几乎不抱怨，还开玩笑调侃病痛，说“癌症可以带走我的头发、指甲、健康甚至生命，但带不走我的微笑”，体现了她“积极乐观（positive）和坚定顽强（determined）”的品质。 【21题详解】 第5段，母亲学会和作者分享恐惧，同时仍用玩笑面对癌症，她的名言“When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it, you take away some of its power.” 点明了她直面恐惧、用乐观消解恐惧的方式，因此本段主要讲母亲面对恐惧的方法。 【22题详解】 最后一段“From her, I’ve learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it.”，作者从母亲身上学到：虽然无法选择遭遇的困境，但可以选择用积极的态度去面对，这种乐观能帮助人度过难关。 C Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You’re gradually losing dependence on parents and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better than you could before. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain. You can’t see the changes in your brain, but they’re influencing how you develop into an adult. At this time in your life, there is a process going on inside your brain that makes it work faster and more efficiently. Imagine that the inside of your brain is like a big road map. There are lots of roads leading to different destinations (终点). When you were a child, as you learned new things, your brain created more roads leading to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, the most important places on the map have many different roads leading to them. Now your brain’s job is to make that map more efficient. It removes the roads that you don’t need and works to make the other roads faster. As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and react to it with your hands, right? As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a fighter pilot, or even a dentist. This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you’re good at and what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick with them if you think they’re useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future. 23. As a teenager, you are becoming more ________. A. challenging B. changeable C. excited D. independent 24. According to paragraph 2, how does the brain work in developing a teenager into an adult? A. By working more efficiently. B. By creating more new things. C. By finding more destinations. D. By changing its inside map. 25. According to the writer, what should teenagers do to shape the brain for the future? A. They should learn to be more efficient. B. They should never stop practicing skills. C. They should keep trying meaningful activities. D. They should play more video games when possible. 26. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. How a teenager develops skills. B. How the brain helps you develop. C. How playing computer games helps. D. How the brain changes at different ages. 【答案】23. D 24. A 25. C 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了青少年时期大脑会发生变化，通过优化内部“神经通路”让运作更高效，同时青少年的经历和活动会塑造大脑的发展，作者鼓励青少年多尝试有意义的活动，为未来的大脑发育打下基础。 【23题详解】 文章第1段“You’re gradually losing dependence on parents and making decisions for yourself”，说明青少年正变得越来越独立。 【24题详解】 文章第2段“there is a process going on inside your brain that makes it work faster and more efficiently”，说明大脑通过更高效地运作帮助青少年成长为成年人。 【25题详解】 文章第4段“Go out and try different activities, and stick with them if you think they’re useful”，说明青少年应该尝试有意义的活动来塑造未来的大脑。 【26题详解】 文章第1段“You can’t see the changes in your brain, but they’re influencing how you develop into an adult”，全文围绕大脑如何在青少年时期影响个人发展展开。 D After years of heated discussion, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves. Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around. The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations, the main food sources (来源) for the wolf, grew rapidly. These animals ate large amounts of vegetation (植被), which made plant diversity less in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers. As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing gray wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that these gray wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets. The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the discussion continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. Wildlife research in the United States. B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area. C. The problem between farmers and gray wolves. D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park. 28. What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean? A. tested. B. separated. C. forced out. D. helped out. 29. What result did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about? A. Harm to local ecosystem. B. A fall in the percentage of coyotes. C. Protection of vegetation. D. An increase in animals’ population. 30. What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unsatisfied. D. Uncaring. 【答案】27. D 28. C 29. A 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕黄石国家公园重新引入灰狼的事件展开，介绍了灰狼消失的原因、消失后对生态系统的影响，以及重新引入灰狼的过程与成效。 【27题详解】 文章第1段“After years of heated discussion, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park.”，点明全文核心事件是灰狼被重新引入黄石公园。 【28题详解】 文章第2段“…they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area.”，说明灰狼因人类发展被迫离开栖息地，“displaced”对应“forced out”。 【29题详解】 文章第3段“The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results…plant diversity less… coyotes killed red foxes, drove away beavers.”，体现灰狼消失后生态系统被破坏。 【30题详解】 文章第5段“The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment...”，用“valuable”体现作者对项目的积极态度。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I always seemed to be running late and hurrying up. I’d wake up early in the morning in order to have enough time to get to where I wanted to go. But by the time I found myself on the road, I was clearly going to be late. ____31____ This constant rush entered every area of my life. For example, when I went shopping, I’d race up and down the passage. Then one day when going to work, I had been running behind again. Unluckily, on the way, my car was out of gas. As my car left the road, I looked at my watch. It’s clear that I’d be late. ____32____ I had a meeting in fifteen minutes and I hadn’t finished preparing for it. But as I looked out towards the east, the sun was just beginning to climb out of the hill. There was fog hanging over the river and some ducks were swimming across the glass-like surface of the water. A few boats sat on the river, which was shining in the sunshine. ____33____ I was surprised. This pretty scene had been going on right outside my car every morning. ____34____ I had been rushing around in such a hurry to not miss anything that I had been missing everything! ____35____ I understood I needed to set schedules and made good preparations for big events in case of any hurry. More importantly, I should try to stay relaxed and enjoy present life. And there was no need to worry about unimportant things. Now I am here traveling this life joyfully and patiently. A. How could I avoid it? B. I became worried and upset. C. What an amazing picture outside! D. I found some surprising things happened. E. However, I had never taken the time to see it. F. So I would drive fast to make up for the minutes I had lost. G. Finally a co-worker recognized my car and stopped for me. 【答案】31. F 32. B 33. C 34. E 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者长期处于匆忙赶时间的生活状态，一次因汽车没油被迫停下的经历，让作者意外发现了身边被忽略的美景，进而反思生活节奏，最终学会放慢脚步、享受当下的故事。 【31题详解】 结合上下文，前文提到“我明显要迟到了”，后文提到“这种匆忙的状态渗透到了生活的方方面面”，F选项“So I would drive fast to make up for the minutes I had lost.”（所以我会开快车来弥补我失去的时间） 承接了迟到后的补救行为，与后文“constant rush”形成呼应，句意连贯。 【32题详解】 前文描述车没油、即将迟到的困境，后文补充说明“15分钟后有会议且还没准备好”，B选项“I became worried and upset.”（我变得焦虑和沮丧） 贴合当下的情绪状态，自然衔接前后文的紧急情境。 【33题详解】 文细致描绘了日出、雾、河流、水鸟与船只的美景，C选项“What an amazing picture outside!”（外面的景色多美啊！） 是对眼前景象的赞叹，符合看到美景后的直观感受。 【34题详解】 前文提到“美景每天都在车外上演”，后文表达“自己一直匆忙赶路反而错过了一切”，E选项“However, I had never taken the time to see it.”（然而，我从未花时间去看过它） 形成转折，点明自己从未留意过身边的美景，逻辑通顺。 【35题详解】 前文提到作者匆忙地四处奔波，不想错过任何东西，以至于错过了一切，后文讲自己领悟到解决总是匆忙慌乱的方法，A选项“How could I avoid it?”引出下文的感悟，符合语境。 三、语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给单词的正确形式。（每空不超过2个词） “Lots of the restaurants say they’re the ____36____ (good).” To be honest, we are not and we’ve never said we are. “We just try to be a little bit better every day.” said Mr. Yang, who runs a restaurant ____37____ (call) Grandpa Yang in Chongqing. Yang ____38____ (run) the restaurant since 2011. At the beginning, he was ____39____ (happy) when quite a lot of food was left uneaten. “If customers know more about the food before they order, they’ll know what ____40____ (pick).” he thought. So he decided to write something about each dish on his menu online. “Now there is something about the food. Compared with our General Tso’s Chicken, this one is not THAT good.” says the introduction of Orange Beef. Another introduction warns, “Don’t be fooled by the name. This one is not ____41____ real Sichuan dish.” “People spend much time and energy searching ____42____ (careful) online to find the right restaurant. I don’t want them to say, ‘Oh, it’s one of the best in the area, and it must be very good.’ but then they come here, only to find it’s not so good.” Yang said, “Customers should read more about the food before they order, not only my introductions, but also other customers’ opinions about the ____43____ (dish).” Thanks to his ____44____ (honest), the restaurant is having a moment in the sun. “I have had a very ____45____ (excite) and busy time since I started doing this,” said Yang, “and I love it.” 【答案】36. best 37. called 38. has run 39. unhappy 40. to pick 41. a 42. carefully 43. dishes 44. honesty 45. exciting 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了重庆杨爷爷餐馆的老板以诚实透明的方式经营餐厅，通过在线菜单坦诚评价菜品，赢得了顾客的信任，也让餐厅受到了欢迎。 【36题详解】 句意：很多餐馆都说自己是最好的。定冠词the后通常接形容词最高级，good的最高级形式是best，表示 “最好”。 【37题详解】 句意：杨先生经营着一家位于重庆，名为“杨爷爷”的餐馆。此处用过去分词called作后置定语，修饰名词“restaurant”，表示“被叫做……的”。 【38题详解】 句意：杨先生从2011年起就经营这家餐馆了。时间状语“since 2011”表示动作从过去持续到现在，需用现在完成时，主语“Yang”是第三人称单数，run应变为has run。 【39题详解】 句意：一开始，当很多食物没被吃完时，他很不开心。根据后文他主动改进菜单、避免浪费的行为，可知看到食物被剩下时他是“不开心的”，happy的反义词是unhappy。 【40题详解】 句意：如果顾客在点餐前对食物了解更多，他们就会知道该选什么。what to pick是“疑问词+不定式”结构，作动词“know”的宾语，表示“该选什么”。 【41题详解】 句意：这道菜并不是一道真正的四川菜。“dish”是可数名词单数，此处表示泛指“一道菜”，需用不定冠词a。 【42题详解】 句意：人们花很多时间和精力仔细地在网上搜索合适的餐馆。此处修饰动词“searching”，需用副词形式，careful的副词形式是carefully，表示“仔细地”。 【43题详解】 句意：顾客在点餐前应该多了解食物，不仅是我的介绍，还有其他顾客对菜品的评价。餐馆的菜品不止一道，因此用复数形式dishes。 【44题详解】 句意：多亏了他的诚实，这家餐馆正备受关注。形容词性物主代词“his”后需接名词，honest的名词形式是honesty，表示“诚实”。 【45题详解】 句意：自从我这样做以来，我度过了一段非常兴奋且忙碌的时光时光。此处修饰名词“time”，表示“令人兴奋的”，需用形容词exciting。 四、书面表达（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假设你是十堰一中的学生李华，请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序，为英文校刊写一篇短文，记述你和同学们向校长提出建议，解决自行车存放问题的过程。 要求：1.文中不得出现个人真实的姓名和校名； 2.词数70词左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 There was a problem with the parking place for bikes in our school. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 There was a problem with the parking place for bikes in our school.

The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an expensive antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favorite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hurriedly and put the vase back to its place. As the mother cleaned the vase (花瓶) every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he had broken the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbor’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally her son lied, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the doubtful looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea. Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to hide the truth to the end, no matter how angry his mum became. In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and slowly enter, she took out a box of chocolates and gave him one. 注意： 1.续写词数应为120左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: The mother said, “This chocolate is a prize for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Now with some chocolates in his hand, the boy’s bad attitude (态度) disappeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文① The mother said, “This chocolate is a prize for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” Slightly surprised, Ben insisted, “Mom, it was the cat! I promise.” With a forced smile, his mom gave him another chocolate, saying, “A reward for your perfect repair work!” Staring at the chocolates, the boy hesitated yet still hid the truth. Before he could speak, his mom handed him a third chocolate, saying, “And this one is for your bravery to stick to your decision.” Now with some chocolates in his hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. Mom saw through everything. Ashamed, the boy hung his head and admitted, “Mom, I broke your favorite vase and lied because I was scared.” Relieved and pleased, the mother hugged him and whispered, “Good boy. It’s never too late to mend.” She gave him the chocolate box and said, “They are all for your honesty. Remember honesty matters more than any antique.” 例文② The mother said, “This chocolate is a prize for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” Hearing her sincere appreciation, Ben flushed, lowered his head and muttered a thank you. Surprisingly, the mother took out another chocolate and pressed it into his hand. “This one is for the delicate repair work you did to the broken vase.” She added she was moved by how much he cherished the family vase. Ashamed, Ben ducked his head lower and admitted he stayed calm during the accident. Now with some chocolates in his hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. Sweating nervously, Ben finally looked up, admitting he alone had broken the vase and begged for punishment. “I’m sorry I lied to you, Mum. Please take back the chocolates.” Ashamed and tearful, he held out his hand to return them. Instead, his mother gave him the whole box and smiled, “Honesty deserves the best reward, my dear.” 【解析】 【详解】写作步骤 [第一步：审题立意] 确定文体：记叙文，用一般过去式为主 明确要点：围绕母子间撒谎、引导至认错的情节，关注人物心理变化，突出诚实和知错就改的主旨 确定人称：第三人称（he/she） 注意事项：衔接自然、控制字数 [第二步：构思布局] 三段式结构： 开头段：交代核心冲突，即Ben打碎花瓶后撒谎，母亲用温和的方式引导，初步回应Ben的辩解。 主体段：推进情节转折，通过母亲的引导，让Ben逐渐认识到自己的错误，内心产生愧疚，为坦白做铺垫。 结尾段：Ben主动坦白认错，母亲给予原谅和鼓励，点明诚实比物品更重要的核心意思。 [第三步：要点展开] 要点一：Ben撒谎、母亲初步引导的情节 Ben撒谎：it was the cat!/blamed the broken vase on the cat等 母亲初步引导：gave him another chocolate/a reward for your perfect repair work/this one is for your bravery to stick to your decision/praised him for mending the broken vase carefully等 要点二：Ben心理变化及母亲引导过程 Ben心理变化：hesitated yet still hid the truth/ashamed/felt his face burn and hung his head in embarrassment等 母亲引导过程：hugged him and whispered/never too late to mend/spoke positively of his appreciation for the family treasure等 要点三：Ben坦白认错、母亲鼓励的情节 Ben坦白认错：hung his head and admitted/I broke your favorite vase and lied/apologized for his lie等 母亲鼓励：they are all for your honesty/honesty matters more than any antique/your sincerity deserved the whole box of chocolates等 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 十堰市第一中学2024年学科特长生自主招生考试试题 英 语 考试时间：100分钟 满分120分 ★热烈欢迎同学们报考市一中！ ★请同学们沉着、冷静、细心、守纪；预祝同学们考试顺利！ 初中学校：________ 考号：________ 姓名：________ 本卷分为两部分，1-35小题为客观题，语法填空及书面表达为主观题。 一、完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to have little passion (激情) in my life.

B “I have cancer.” Mom said and held me in a tight hug. I could feel her body shaking as she tried not to cry but failed. For all of my twenty-four years, my mom had been supportive. Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me. Now I knew it would have to flow the other way. Mom didn’t stay down for long. After the shock of breast cancer, she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors. She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school. “The not-knowing is the worst.” she said. The operation was successful. The chemo (化疗) was the harder part. I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. She hardly complained, though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one. She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills, even though she never wore nail polish. “Cancer can take my hair, my nails, my health, my very life. But it can’t take my smile.” Mom said. Mom learned to share her fears with me, and it formed an even deeper connection between us. Yet, I am certain there were fears she didn’t share because she was still protecting me—worries she only shared with Dad. Even in the darkest hours, she would just joke about the cancer. Mom always said, “When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it, you take away some of its power.” Mom was one of the lucky ones. She did beat her cancer, though not without scars (伤疤) From her, I’ve learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it. 19. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A. There were other useful ways to treat cancer. B. Knowledge of cancer would be helpful. C. Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer. D. I should be the one supporting and caring for Mom. 20. Which of the following words can best describe Mom? A. Positive and determined. B. Caring and knowledgeable. C. Humorous and responsible. D. Helpful and successful. 21. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A. The jokes Mom told me. B. The fear Mom shared with me. C. The ways Mom faced fear. D. The connection Mom and I formed. 22. What lesson did the author learn from Mom? A. Jokes matter in beating diseases. B. Positiveness gets one through hardship. C. Fear does no good to one’s health. D. Sharing helps reduce suffering a lot. C Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You’re gradually losing dependence on parents and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better than you could before. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain. You can’t see the changes in your brain, but they’re influencing how you develop into an adult. At this time in your life, there is a process going on inside your brain that makes it work faster and more efficiently. Imagine that the inside of your brain is like a big road map. There are lots of roads leading to different destinations (终点). When you were a child, as you learned new things, your brain created more roads leading to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, the most important places on the map have many different roads leading to them. Now your brain’s job is to make that map more efficient. It removes the roads that you don’t need and works to make the other roads faster. As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and react to it with your hands, right? As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a fighter pilot, or even a dentist. This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you’re good at and what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick with them if you think they’re useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future. 23. As a teenager, you are becoming more ________. A. challenging B. changeable C. excited D. independent 24. According to paragraph 2, how does the brain work in developing a teenager into an adult? A. By working more efficiently. B. By creating more new things. C. By finding more destinations. D. By changing its inside map. 25. According to the writer, what should teenagers do to shape the brain for the future? A. They should learn to be more efficient. B. They should never stop practicing skills. C. They should keep trying meaningful activities. D. They should play more video games when possible. 26. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. How a teenager develops skills. B. How the brain helps you develop. C. How playing computer games helps. D. How the brain changes at different ages. D After years of heated discussion, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves. Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around. The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations, the main food sources (来源) for the wolf, grew rapidly. These animals ate large amounts of vegetation (植被), which made plant diversity less in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers. As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing gray wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that these gray wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets. The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the discussion continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. Wildlife research in the United States. B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area. C. The problem between farmers and gray wolves. D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park. 28. What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean? A. tested. B. separated. C. forced out. D. helped out. 29. What result did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about? A. Harm to local ecosystem. B. A fall in the percentage of coyotes. C. Protection of vegetation. D. An increase in animals’ population. 30. What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unsatisfied. D. Uncaring. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I always seemed to be running late and hurrying up.
