A
With its snow-covered mountain and a variety of wildlife, Yellowstone National Park is one of the scenic treasures of the United States. Located in Wyoming, the park hosts millions of visitors every year. If you plan to travel within the park, keep in mind the advice from the National Park Service.
Seasonal Travel
Travel varies vastly from season to season. Roads are generally open in the summer except for cases of rock or mud slides, wild fires, accidents or road construction. Early snows in the fall can cause some roads to close temporarily (暂时). In the winter almost all roads are closed to motor vehicles, but snowmobiles and other snow vehicles with tracks are allowed. Roads begin to open in the spring by the latter part of April but may close if snowfall continues.
Driving Time
Grand Loop Road is the main road through Yellowstone National Park, and it passes by most of the major attractions. The maximum speed limit on the road is 45 miles per hour, but the speed limit drops during some of the winding (蜿蜒) and twisty sections of this narrow road, or due to heavy traffic now and then.
Safety Awareness
Buffalo (野牛) often block the roads in the park. If so, you can either wait for them to pass or find another route. If you get out of your vehicle, you should stay at least 25 yards from any buffalo (and 100 yards or more away from bears and wolves). Buffalo are particularly unpredictable and charge people at speeds up to 30 mph.
You can take your bicycle on any public roads designed for bikes, but bicycles are not allowed on the park roads which are narrow. The National Park Service recommends that cyclists wear helmets (头盔) and noticeable clothing.
1. What is TRUE about traveling in the Yellowstone Park?
A. Roads will stay open all year round.
B. Traffic jam is not a common thing.
C. The driving speed can be 50 mph.
D. Motor vehicles are allowed in the winter.
2. What safety advice does the National Park Service offer?
A. Never could you get out of the car.
B. Keep going when coming across the buffalo.
C. Do wear easy-to-see clothes while bicycling.
D. Bicycling is not allowed on the public roads.
3. Where can you probably find this article?
A. In a tour brochure.
B. In a research paper.
C. In a geography textbook.
D. In a commercial advertisement.
B
When I first started working with Kevin Sargeant, he was a freshman in high school, and I was his science teacher. I knew even then that he was a bright young man with great potential, and a hunger for learning. But he struggled to apply what he had learned due to his autism (自闭症).
Diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger’s syndrome (阿斯伯格综合症) in elementary school, Kevin scored well on tests. However, a huge part of school learning takes place not at a student’s individual desk, but in groups that require participation. For children like Kevin, that presents a big challenge.
For a long time, we struggled to persuade Kevin to come out of his shell and join the class. He preferred doing activities alone, and hated classroom tasks that required teamwork, like lab experiments. He struggled with public speaking even in small groups, and didn’t want to try new things.
You could tell that there was huge potential there — I never doubted his academic abilities. But at times many of us at the school worried about whether he’d ever be able to make full use of those abilities to build a future for himself. Over time, however, something changed. Slowly he began to want to try new things, and to work with people. He developed into a boy of humor, and started to participate in class and to let people get to know him. And he was gradually into the high school’s work-based learning program, where he learned about information technology — an area Kevin is always gifted in. In fact, in some ways, I think it was his experience with computers that brought him out of himself and helped him join the world. Finding something he was good at gave him the confidence he’d so badly needed.
4. What challenge did Kevin Sargeant have to face in school at first?
A. He had low intelligence.
B. He lacked the love for learning.
C. He wasn’t used to team work.
D. He couldn’t make friends with kids.
5. Which of the following words can best describe the changing Kevin?
A. Kind and open-minded.
B. Talented and responsible.
C. diligent and dependent.
D. Humorous and outgoing.
6. According to the author, what led to Kevin’s change?
A. His experience with computers.
B. His teacher’s encouragement.
C. The requirement of teachers.
D. The work-based learning program.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. A Lonely Talented Boy B. Out of the shell into the Sunshine
C. The Magic of Computers D. Strength from the Surrounding World
C
One 14th of July, I was attending a baseball game with friends. The evening was warm, the beer was cold, and the fireworks were spectacular. And then suddenly a firework flew into the flag. The crowd turned angry and began shouting. One man nearby had tears in his eyes. Just like a similar accident in 2014, setting the Stars and Stripes (条) on fire with fireworks is not a good idea.
April 2018 marks the 200th year of Congress’s formal adoption of the present “design” — 13 stripes representing the union’s original 13 states, and a changing number of stars representing the present states. It allows the flag to be immediately recognizable that the number of stars changes while the number of stripes remains fixed. But even though the flag is two centuries old, it’s remarkably powerful as a national symbol.
Anyone who has travelled to the US will know how ubiquitous the flag is. It is seen in houses and front yards, flies from cars, and hangs from bridges; school children practise raising and lowering it. Federal law announces that it must be flown from all public buildings.
The United States Flag Code goes into detail. In 50 long articles, it lists everything from when, where and how the flag can be displayed to the methods of dealing with old flags.
Americans care so much about the Stars and Stripes because it plays a unique and supreme role in their culture. When making a vow (宣誓), Americans do not first swear their devotion to the country, but “to the Flag of the United States of America”. The national song, The Star Spangled Banner, celebrates not the nation, but the flag.
8. Why did the crowd turn angry and begin shouting?
A. Because the beer was cold.
B. Because the game was boring.
C. Because their national flag was set on fire.
D. Because a similar accident happened in 2014.
9. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Common. B. Unique. C. Beautiful. D. Pleasant.
10. What can we infer about the Stars and Stripes?
A. The number of its stripes remains fixed.
B. Americans think it of great importance.
C. It’s also called the Star Spangled Banner.
D. It has lost its influence after 200 years.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Stars and Stripes — A Changing Flag
B. The Stars and Stripes — Flying All Around
C. The Stars and Stripes — Burning With Tears
D. The Stars and Stripes — A Powerful Symbol
D
In order to help change our influence on the environment of the earth, a California-based organisation is working to build an AI language, which can allow people to deeply understand non-human languages — the language of animals and other living things.
Aza Raskin is the co-founder and leader of the Earth Species Project (ESP), an organisation that uses a kind of AI to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to understand this important information and make it easily known to the public.
Raskin stressed their purpose to help protection by explaining, “Our final goal is to discover the non-human language, and decode how animals communicate. Along the way, what is also important is that we are developing technology that supports scientists and protection.” ESP believes that understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to better protect them.
In the past, understanding the communication of animals heavily depended on observing a lot. Whether it is alarm calls or sounds made by dolphins or elephants, scientists have been amazed by the different ways of non-human communication present in these animals. With the development of new technologies, researchers have now begun to understand a great deal of data they can get through machine learning.
Elodie Briefer, a professor at the University of Copenhagen, has recently helped design an algorithm (算法) to analyze pigs’ grunts (呼噜声). It can help scientists understand whether the pigs are expressing positive or negative feelings. However, ESP is doing it differently, by focusing on all kinds of animals, not just one. ESP believes it is possible that social animals communicate with each other, like whales and dolphins.
Although ESP believes that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step towards full communication, it believes that one day we will be able to understand their whole communication systems.
12. What is Aza Raskin trying to do?
A. Educate the public to take care of animals. B. Create a new organisation to protect the earth.
C. Help people understand non-human languages. D. Search for new ways to send information by AI.
13. What does the underlined word “decode” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Change. B. Understand. C. Admire. D. Explain.
14. How did researchers study animal communication in the past?
A. By developing new machines. B. By doing research on computers.
C. By comparing different calls of animals. D. By making a great deal of observation.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. New Technology That Is Changing Our Life B. Interesting Animals That Can Communicate
C. A New Way to Understand Animal Languages D. Scientists Trying to Communicate With Animals

End is Close to mouse in New Zealand
You might have heard that we are only at a distance of a few meters away from a mouse. Maybe that’s true. It’s estimated (估计) that there are as many rats as there are people on the planet. ____16____
Recently, the New Zealand government has announced that it would try to get rid of every single rat, opossum (负鼠) and stoat (白鼬) in the country by 2050. ____17____ Also, native species (物种) will be better protected, because these animals are destroying the country’s natural habitats (栖息地).
New Zealand is an ancient island which was home to many different wildlife species long before humans arrived. It’s thought that when people first traveled to the island on ships hundreds of years ago, they brought rats along with them by mistake. ____18____ Soon, stoats were brought in to control the spread of rabbits as well.
____19____ Over 40 types of flightless birds ended up dying out after these introduced species ate their eggs and disturbed their habitats, as the birds were unable to protect themselves.
To carry out the plan, the government will set thousands of traps and even spread poison across some areas. Scientists are also working on using the CRISPR gene-editing tool to find a way to stop the mice from increasing. ____20____ As science journal Nature wrote, “Once you start getting rid of all the harmful species, you’re fighting against the law of nature to some degree.”
A. This is not just to make the streets a cleaner place.
B. Some think more effective actions should be taken.
C. Later, opossums were introduced to the country for their fur.
D. However, some worry that the actions may have unwanted effects.
E. But for people in New Zealand, the distance may soon be a lot bigger.
F. And then, some other foreign species were also introduced to New Zealand.
G. In a country with few natural enemies, introducing these species was a disaster.

In fact, in some ways, I think it was his experience with computers that brought him out of himself and helped him join the world. Finding something he was good at gave him the confidence he’d so badly needed.

【导语】本文讲述患有自闭症的高中生凯文起初孤僻内向,难以参与集体活动,后来凭借自身电脑天赋重拾自信,慢慢走出自我、融入集体。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He preferred doing activities alone, and hated classroom tasks that required teamwork, like lab experiments.(他喜欢独自活动,讨厌实验这类需要团队合作的课堂任务。)”可知,凯文起初难以适应校园里的团队合作。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Slowly he began to want to try new things, and to work with people. He developed into a boy of humor, and started to participate in class and to let people get to know him.(慢慢地他愿意尝试新事物、与人合作,变得幽默开朗,主动参与课堂,愿意让他人了解自己。)”可知,转变后的凯文幽默且外向。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In fact, in some ways, I think it was his experience with computers that brought him out of himself and helped him join the world.(事实上在某种程度上,我认为正是接触电脑的经历让他走出自我,融入外界。)”可知,是电脑相关经历促成了他的改变。
【7题详解】

One 14th of July, I was attending a baseball game with friends. The evening was warm, the beer was cold, and the fireworks were spectacular. And then suddenly a firework flew into the flag. The crowd turned angry and began shouting. One man nearby had tears in his eyes. Just like a similar accident in 2014, setting the Stars and Stripes (条) on fire with fireworks is not a good idea.
April 2018 marks the 200th year of Congress’s formal adoption of the present “design” — 13 stripes representing the union’s original 13 states, and a changing number of stars representing the present states. It allows the flag to be immediately recognizable that the number of stars changes while the number of stripes remains fixed. But even though the flag is two centuries old, it’s remarkably powerful as a national symbol.
Anyone who has travelled to the US will know how ubiquitous the flag is. It is seen in houses and front yards, flies from cars, and hangs from bridges; school children practise raising and lowering it. Federal law announces that it must be flown from all public buildings.
The United States Flag Code goes into detail. In 50 long articles, it lists everything from when, where and how the flag can be displayed to the methods of dealing with old flags.
Americans care so much about the Stars and Stripes because it plays a unique and supreme role in their culture. When making a vow (宣誓), Americans do not first swear their devotion to the country, but “to the Flag of the United States of America”. The national song, The Star Spangled Banner, celebrates not the nation, but the flag.
8. Why did the crowd turn angry and begin shouting?
A. Because the beer was cold.
B. Because the game was boring.
C. Because their national flag was set on fire.
D. Because a similar accident happened in 2014.
9. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Common. B. Unique. C. Beautiful. D. Pleasant.
10. What can we infer about the Stars and Stripes?
A. The number of its stripes remains fixed.
B. Americans think it of great importance.
C. It’s also called the Star Spangled Banner.
D. It has lost its influence after 200 years.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Stars and Stripes — A Changing Flag
B. The Stars and Stripes — Flying All Around
C. The Stars and Stripes — Burning With Tears
D. The Stars and Stripes — A Powerful Symbol
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了美国国旗“星条旗”的设计历史、在美国的普及程度以及其作为国家象征的重要地位。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“And then suddenly a firework flew into the flag. The crowd turned angry and began shouting. (然后突然一个烟花飞到了国旗上。人群变得愤怒并开始大喊大叫)”可知,人群愤怒和大喊大叫是因为他们的国旗被点燃了。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Anyone who has travelled to the US will know how ubiquitous the flag is. It is seen in houses and front yards, flies from cars, and hangs from bridges; school children practise raising and lowering it. Federal law announces that it must be flown from all public buildings. (任何去过美国的人都知道这面国旗是多么的ubiquitous。它在房屋和前院被看到,从汽车上飘扬,悬挂在桥梁上;学校儿童练习升降它。联邦法律宣布它必须在所有公共建筑上悬挂)”可知,美国国旗随处可见。故划线词ubiquitous意为“无处不在的;随处可见的”,与“Common”同义。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The United States Flag Code goes into detail. In 50 long articles, it lists everything from when, where and how the flag can be displayed to the methods of dealing with old flags. (美国国旗法非常详细。在50篇长文中,它列出了从何时、何地、如何展示国旗到处理旧国旗的方法等所有内容)”和第五段“Americans care so much about the Stars and Stripes because it plays a unique and supreme role in their culture. (美国人非常关心星条旗,因为它在他们的文化中扮演着独特而至高无上的角色)”可知,美国人非常重视星条旗。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中烟花点燃国旗的事件,以及第二段中“even though the flag is two centuries old, it’s remarkably powerful as a national symbol. (尽管国旗已有两个世纪的历史,但它作为一个国家象征仍然非常强大)”和第五段中“Americans care so much about the Stars and Stripes because it plays a unique and supreme role in their culture. (美国人非常关心星条旗,因为它在他们的文化中扮演着独特而至高无上的角色)”可知,文章通过国旗被点燃的事件引出话题,随后介绍了美国国旗的设计历史、普及程度以及其作为国家象征的重要地位。因此,D项“The Stars and Stripes — A Powerful Symbol(星条旗——强大的象征)”能概括文章内容,是最佳标题。
D
In order to help change our influence on the environment of the earth, a California-based organisation is working to build an AI language, which can allow people to deeply understand non-human languages — the language of animals and other living things.
Aza Raskin is the co-founder and leader of the Earth Species Project (ESP), an organisation that uses a kind of AI to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to understand this important information and make it easily known to the public.
Raskin stressed their purpose to help protection by explaining, “Our final goal is to discover the non-human language, and decode how animals communicate. Along the way, what is also important is that we are developing technology that supports scientists and protection.” ESP believes that understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to better protect them.
In the past, understanding the communication of animals heavily depended on observing a lot. Whether it is alarm calls or sounds made by dolphins or elephants, scientists have been amazed by the different ways of non-human communication present in these animals. With the development of new technologies, researchers have now begun to understand a great deal of data they can get through machine learning.
Elodie Briefer, a professor at the University of Copenhagen, has recently helped design an algorithm (算法) to analyze pigs’ grunts (呼噜声). It can help scientists understand whether the pigs are expressing positive or negative feelings. However, ESP is doing it differently, by focusing on all kinds of animals, not just one. ESP believes it is possible that social animals communicate with each other, like whales and dolphins.
Although ESP believes that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step towards full communication, it believes that one day we will be able to understand their whole communication systems.
12. What is Aza Raskin trying to do?
A. Educate the public to take care of animals. B. Create a new organisation to protect the earth.
C. Help people understand non-human languages. D. Search for new ways to send information by AI.
13. What does the underlined word “decode” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Change. B. Understand. C. Admire. D. Explain.
14. How did researchers study animal communication in the past?
A. By developing new machines. B. By doing research on computers.
C. By comparing different calls of animals. D. By making a great deal of observation.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. New Technology That Is Changing Our Life B. Interesting Animals That Can Communicate
C. A New Way to Understand Animal Languages D. Scientists Trying to Communicate With Animals
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】主要说明了加州机构研发AI技术翻译动物语言,旨在助力物种保护。过去靠观察研究,如今借助机器学习,未来有望彻底弄懂动物完整交流体系。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Aza Raskin is the co-founder and leader of the Earth Species Project (ESP), an organisation that uses a kind of AI to translate non-human languages.(阿扎·拉斯金是“地球物种项目”(ESP)的联合创始人及负责人,该项目利用一种人工智能技术来翻译非人类语言)”可知,阿扎·拉斯金想帮助人们理解非人类语言。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The end we are working towards is, we can discover the non-human language(我们努力的最终目标是,我们能够发现非人类的语言)”以及后文“animal communication(动物交流)”可知,他们的目标是发现非人类的语言,并进一步理解动物的交流。故画线词意思是“理解”,与understand同义。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the past, understanding the communication of animals heavily depended on a great deal of observation.(在过去,了解动物的交流在很大程度上依赖于大量的观察)”可知,过去研究人员通过大量的观察研究动物交流。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第二段“Aza Raskin is the co-founder and leader of the Earth Species Project (ESP), an organisation that uses a kind of AI to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to understand this important information and make it easily known to the public.(阿扎·拉斯金是“地球物种项目”(ESP)的联合创始人及负责人,该项目利用一种人工智能技术来翻译非人类语言。ESP 希望借助其机器学习技术来理解这些重要信息,并让公众能够轻松获取这些信息)”可知,文章主要说明了加州机构研发AI 技术翻译动物语言,旨在助力物种保护。过去靠观察研究,如今借助机器学习,未来有望彻底弄懂动物完整交流体系。C选项“一种理解动物语言的新方法”最符合文章标题。

End is Close to mouse in New Zealand
You might have heard that we are only at a distance of a few meters away from a mouse. Maybe that’s true. It’s estimated (估计) that there are as many rats as there are people on the planet. ____16____
Recently, the New Zealand government has announced that it would try to get rid of every single rat, opossum (负鼠) and stoat (白鼬) in the country by 2050. ____17____ Also, native species (物种) will be better protected, because these animals are destroying the country’s natural habitats (栖息地).
New Zealand is an ancient island which was home to many different wildlife species long before humans arrived. It’s thought that when people first traveled to the island on ships hundreds of years ago, they brought rats along with them by mistake. ____18____ Soon, stoats were brought in to control the spread of rabbits as well.
____19____ Over 40 types of flightless birds ended up dying out after these introduced species ate their eggs and disturbed their habitats, as the birds were unable to protect themselves.
To carry out the plan, the government will set thousands of traps and even spread poison across some areas. Scientists are also working on using the CRISPR gene-editing tool to find a way to stop the mice from increasing. ____20____ As science journal Nature wrote, “Once you start getting rid of all the harmful species, you’re fighting against the law of nature to some degree.”
A. This is not just to make the streets a cleaner place.
B. Some think more effective actions should be taken.
C. Later, opossums were introduced to the country for their fur.
D. However, some worry that the actions may have unwanted effects.
E. But for people in New Zealand, the distance may soon be a lot bigger.
F. And then, some other foreign species were also introduced to New Zealand.
G. In a country with few natural enemies, introducing these species was a disaster.
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. C 19. G 20. D
