Scientists in California have discovered a new kind of snailfish. It lives more than 3 kilometers under the Pacific Ocean. But if you were imagining a large, 6 creature, you’d be wrong. One researcher even called it “adorable”.
These snailfish are strange little creatures. They have big heads and jelly-like bodies. There are no scales on their loose skin. Many have a special disc on their bellies. It lets them 7 onto the sea floor, or even catch a ride on an animal like a crab. Some snailfish live in shallow areas of the ocean. They curl up on rocks like a snail. 8 live in the deep ocean.
To explore the deep sea, scientists 9 a small submarine and a robot. The robot’s cameras spotted a pink snailfish about the size of a deck of cards. The team also found two other unusual snailfish. One was very black and the other was long and thin.
One scientist said, “Studying these tiny deep-sea fish shows how 10 we know about the ocean. These snailfish are a reminder of the power of curiosity and exploration.”

【导语】本文介绍了科学家在太平洋深处发现的一种新蜗牛鱼,描述了它们的奇特外貌、生活习性以及科学家探索深海的方式,最后指出这些发现提醒我们对海洋知之甚少。
6.句意:但如果你想象一个大的、可怕的生物,那你就错了。一位研究人员甚至称它为“可爱”。
此处需要一个形容词,在句中表示“令人害怕的”。因为前文提到“large”暗示可能令人恐惧,但实际这种鱼很可爱,scary“可怕的”,符合题意。scared“感到害怕的”,主语通常为人;scaring较少用作形容词;scare为动词或名词,均不符合题意。
7.句意:它们腹部有一个特殊的圆盘,可以让它们抓住海底,甚至搭上螃蟹等动物的便车。
此处需要一个动词原形,在句中与“let them”构成“let sb. do sth.”结构。因为let后面接不带to的动词不定式,grab“抓住”,动词原形,符合题意。to grab为动词不定式,grabbing为现在分词,grabbed为过去式,均不符合语法。
8.句意:有些蜗牛鱼生活在海洋浅水区,它们像蜗牛一样蜷缩在岩石上。其他一些生活在深海。
此处需要一个不定代词,在句中作主语,表示“其他一些蜗牛鱼”。因为前面用“Some”泛指一些,后面用“Others”对应泛指另一些,符合语境。Other为形容词,不能单独作主语;The others特指剩余的全部,范围不符;Another指另一个,与复数不符。
9.句意:为了探索深海,科学家们使用了一艘小型潜艇和一个机器人。
此处需要一个一般过去时的谓语动词,在句中表示过去发生的动作。因为全文叙述过去的研究活动,且后文“spotted”为过去时,used“使用”,动词的过去式,符合题意。were using过去进行时强调动作持续,但此处仅陈述事实;had used过去完成时需要有过去参照点;will use将来时与语境不符。
10.句意:研究这些微小的深海鱼表明,我们对海洋的了解是多么之少。
此处需要一个表示否定意义的副词或限定词,在句中修饰动词“know”或表示知识量少。how little we know是固定结构,little作副词意为“很少”,表示否定含义,符合题意。few修饰可数名词,不能直接修饰动词know;a few表示“一点儿”,修饰可数名词,a little表示肯定“一点儿”,均不符合语境。

On the third day, my fever went down. I started to feel better. I decided to exercise more 14 healthy. Now, I run for 20 minutes every morning. I also eat more fruit and vegetables.

【答案】11.C 12.B 13.A 14.C 15.D
【导语】本文讲述了Anna生病就医、休养恢复,并由此感悟到保持健康重要性的故事。
11.句意:医生仔细地给我做了检查,说我需要在家休息。
句子中“checked me”是动词短语,需要副词来修饰,根据上下文,医生给病人检查应是认真、仔细的,carefully“仔细地”符合语境。careful是形容词,不能修饰动词;care是名词/动词;carelessly“粗心地”不符合语境。
12.句意:他告诉我多喝温水并按时吃药。
这里指医生嘱咐按时吃药,固定搭配take medicine表示“吃药”。eat“吃”、have“吃/有”、drink“喝”均不符合吃药的固定表达。
13.句意:那让我感到开心。
句子中“made me”后接不带to的动词原形,构成make sb. do sth.结构,表示“使某人做某事”。
14.句意:我决定多锻炼来保持健康。
句子中“decided to exercise more”的目的是保持健康,应用动词不定式to stay healthy作目的状语,表示“为了保持健康”。
15.句意:只有这样我们才能快速地康复。
遵循医嘱好好休息能让我们更快恢复健康,quickly“快速地”符合语境。

Scientists have found a new way to study the health of soil—by listening to it. They think their way could help people monitor (监测) and improve soil around the world.
All living things — animals, insects, and even plants — make sounds, and by listening we can study those noises. The way has been used to watch bats, birds and sea animals. Scientists in Australia wanted to see if they could use listening to check how healthy soil was.
Soil can be filled with many living things, and the greater the variety (多样性) of living things, the healthier the soil. For example, animals without backbones like ants and worms help nutrients (营养) and water pass through soil. However, the change of the environment and human activities have reduced the variety of living things in soil. “It’s very important to monitor the variety of living things in soil,” Robinson said.
For the study, the scientists first put special microphones (麦克风) into the soil and then moved away and stood silently. Next, they collected many hours of recordings from the Mount Bold area of Australia. Finally, they took some to check soil health.
The recordings showed the different sounds living things make underground. The study found that more different kinds of sounds suggested healthier soil. It also showed that listening is a good way to test soil health. It costs less and causes less loss than other ways, such as digging up soil and testing it. In the future, Robinson said, “Everyone can just buy their own little microphone and hear the sounds of soil.”
32.What did scientists in Australia want to use listening for?
A.Checking the health of soil. B.Studying living things’ noises.
C.Watching some living things. D.Making some animals’ sounds.
33.What can we learn about ants and worms from Paragraph 3?
A.It’s necessary to monitor them.
B.It’s natural for them to live in soil.
C.They are helpful to the health of soil.
D.They add to the variety of living things.
34.Paragraph 4 mainly talks about the study’s ________.
A.steps B.tools C.result D.purpose
35.According to Robinson, what’s the future of listening to soil like?
A.It will be used in other fields. B.It can be used by more people.
C.It can dig up life underground. D.It will bring more living things.
【答案】32.A 33.C 34.A 35.B
【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家通过聆听土壤中的声音来监测和评估土壤健康的新方法。
32.细节理解题。根据“Scientists in Australia wanted to see if they could use listening to check how healthy soil was.”可知科学家们想通过聆听来检查土壤的健康状况。故选A。
33.细节理解题。根据“animals without backbones like ants and worms help nutrients (营养) and water pass through soil”可知像蚂蚁和蠕虫这样的无脊椎动物有助于营养和水通过土壤,即它们对土壤的健康有帮助。故选C。
34.主旨大意题。根据“For the study, the scientists first put special microphones (麦克风) into the soil and then moved away and stood silently...”可知第四段主要描述了科学家进行研究的具体步骤。故选A。
35.推理判断题。根据“Everyone can just buy their own little microphone and hear the sounds of soil.”可知未来每个人都可以买自己的小麦克风来听土壤的声音,即听土壤这种方式可以被更多人使用。故选B。
D
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
【答案】36.D 37.D 38.A 39.C 40.B
【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。
【详解】36.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.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.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.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.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。

47.句意:许多人肆无忌惮地持续向河湖中倾倒污水和垃圾。keep doing sth“一直做某事、持续做某事”,后面只能接动名词,pour直接加ing,变为pouring,pour 本义“倾倒、倒出”,贴合文中排放污水、乱扔垃圾的环保语境。
48.句意:这不仅会打破自然平衡,还会伤害我们周围的生物。will后必须接动词原形,break the balance of nature是固定搭配,意为“破坏自然平衡”,not only…but also…连接并列谓语,前后形式一致,都用原形。
49.句意:为了解决这个问题,政府制定了严格的法律来保护环境。此处用动词不定式to do作目的状语,表示“制定法律”的目的是“保护环境”,故用to protect。
50.句意:任何污染公共场所的人都会被严厉罚款。本句是一般将来时的被动语态,结构为“will be + 过去分词”,fine此处作动词,意为“罚款”,fine的过去分词直接加d,即fined。

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容,在文章后的空格里填入最恰当的内容。
Lots of people enjoy watching sports games in the world. But first of all, you need to know about audience manners.
Actually, most sporting arenas (竞技场) have rules for the audience written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before your arrival. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event.
When the games begin, try to control yourself. Don’t say bad words about the players and coaches’ performance. Be careful with your words because some of them may make others angry.
Clapping is a special body language you can use to communicate with players, but you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but don’t go on for too long. After an excellent performance, clap warmly. If someone fails, your clapping will help them feel better. Clapping is not welcome, however, while players need to keep their attention.
Different sports have different rules for the audience. Enjoy artistic gymnastics in silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. When you watch table tennis games, you can’t use your flash photography. Don’t use mobile phones in shooting centers, either.
To be a better audience, you should spare time to learn about the rules and the culture of each event.注意:1-8题每个空格只填1个单词:9-10题词数不限。

How to go green at school
Without green, life has no hope. Going green means we should protect the environment by saving resources and reducing pollution. However, I often see bad behaviors in our school, such as wasting paper, leaving lights on, and littering.
To make our school greener, here’s my advice: First, turn off lights and fans when leaving classrooms. Second, reuse notebooks and recycle waste paper. Third, bring reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones. Finally, plant more trees in school gardens.

Have you ever eaten something that you grew in your own garden? Many people have not had the pleasure of this experience. Alice Waters, the owner of Chez Panisse Restaurant, set out to change this for a special group of students at Martin Luther King Junior Middle School in Berkeley, California.
Waters worked with the school’s principal (校长), Neil Smith, to create a cooking and gardening program at the school. Waters believes in the importance of people knowing where their food comes from. She also believes that there is a strong relationship (关系) between food, health, and the environment. She wanted to show children the pleasure in gardening and in preparing the foods that they grew. She wanted to teach them that a healthy body and a healthy environment go hand in hand.
The program that Waters began took a lot of time and patience (耐心). Teachers, students, and community volunteers helped her turn a parking area into a garden.
In 1995, the first crops were planted. Every year since then, new crops are evaluated (评价) to make sure that they are best suited (合适) for the environment and the needs of the school.
Students have found that they look forward to the time they spend in the garden each week. They have learned how to grow and harvest. They have learned about the life cycles of various plants.
Alice Waters dreams that one day there will be a garden in every school in the United States.

Scientists have found a new way to study the health of soil—by listening to it. They think their way could help people monitor (监测) and improve soil around the world.
All living things — animals, insects, and even plants — make sounds, and by listening we can study those noises. The way has been used to watch bats, birds and sea animals. Scientists in Australia wanted to see if they could use listening to check how healthy soil was.
Soil can be filled with many living things, and the greater the variety (多样性) of living things, the healthier the soil. For example, animals without backbones like ants and worms help nutrients (营养) and water pass through soil. However, the change of the environment and human activities have reduced the variety of living things in soil. “It’s very important to monitor the variety of living things in soil,” Robinson said.
For the study, the scientists first put special microphones (麦克风) into the soil and then moved away and stood silently. Next, they collected many hours of recordings from the Mount Bold area of Australia. Finally, they took some to check soil health.
The recordings showed the different sounds living things make underground. The study found that more different kinds of sounds suggested healthier soil. It also showed that listening is a good way to test soil health. It costs less and causes less loss than other ways, such as digging up soil and testing it. In the future, Robinson said, “Everyone can just buy their own little microphone and hear the sounds of soil.”
32.What did scientists in Australia want to use listening for?
A.Checking the health of soil. B.Studying living things’ noises.
C.Watching some living things. D.Making some animals’ sounds.
33.What can we learn about ants and worms from Paragraph 3?
A.It’s necessary to monitor them.
B.It’s natural for them to live in soil.
C.They are helpful to the health of soil.
D.They add to the variety of living things.
34.Paragraph 4 mainly talks about the study’s ________.
A.steps B.tools C.result D.purpose
35.According to Robinson, what’s the future of listening to soil like?
A.It will be used in other fields. B.It can be used by more people.
C.It can dig up life underground. D.It will bring more living things.
D
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

Lots of people enjoy watching sports games in the world. But first of all, you need to know about audience manners.
Actually, most sporting arenas (竞技场) have rules for the audience written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before your arrival. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event.
When the games begin, try to control yourself. Don’t say bad words about the players and coaches’ performance. Be careful with your words because some of them may make others angry.
Clapping is a special body language you can use to communicate with players, but you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but don’t go on for too long. After an excellent performance, clap warmly. If someone fails, your clapping will help them feel better. Clapping is not welcome, however, while players need to keep their attention.
Different sports have different rules for the audience. Enjoy artistic gymnastics in silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. When you watch table tennis games, you can’t use your flash photography. Don’t use mobile phones in shooting centers, either.
To be a better audience, you should spare time to learn about the rules and the culture of each event.注意:1-8题每个空格只填1个单词:9-10题词数不限。
