C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文记叙了作者陪祖父坐火车旅行的经历。起初作者不情愿，后来在旅程中理解了祖父，感悟到陪伴长辈和享受过程的重要性。 【1题详解】 句意：他就在那里，我那80岁、头发花白的爷爷；而我就在那里，一个穿着牛仔裤和T恤的十几岁女孩。 修饰名词grandfather需用形容词。复合形容词作定语时，形式为“数词-名词（单数）-形容词”，所以80-year-old是正确形式。 【2题详解】 句意：他那双上了年纪却依然清澈的蓝眼睛打量着周围的景象。 aged（上了年纪的）和still clear（依然清澈）之间是转折关系，用but连接，符合语境逻辑。 【3题详解】 句意：我在想如何度过这两天。 wonder后接宾语从句，从句I was going to get through the next two days主谓宾完整，缺少方式状语，用how（如何、怎样）引导，表示“如何度过”。 【4题详解】 句意：“我为什么要同意和我古怪的爷爷一起坐火车从我们的城市去另一个地方呢？”我问自己。 句中表示“去另一个地方”，泛指三者或三者以上中的“另一个”，用another。other后需接复数名词；others代词，不能接地点；the other特指两者中的另一个；another泛指 “另一个”，符合语境。 【5题详解】 句意：因为爷爷拒绝坐飞机，没人愿意和他一起旅行。 根据“refuse to do sth”固定搭配，可知应用不定式，所以用to take。 【6题详解】 句意：和他不同，我喜欢坐飞机，因为我想尽快到达目的地。 固定搭配as+原级+as possible（尽可能……），此处修饰动词get to，需用副词原级，所以用quickly。 【7题详解】 句意：不管别人怎么跟爷爷说坐飞机有多舒适、多安全，他都不想订机票。 and连接并列名词，和comfort（舒适）并列的是safety（安全），都作介词about的宾语。 【8题详解】 句意：他说：“这不只是一次旅行，而是到达那里的冒险。” 介词of后需接动名词，所以用getting。 【9题详解】 句意：我踏上火车的第一步，这次旅程就和我预想的不一样了。 根据“be different from”固定搭配，可知应用from。根据语境，表示与……不同。 【10题详解】 句意：火车很现代化，而且挤满了友好的旅客。 主语it（火车）和 fill是被动关系，用被动语态be filled with（挤满……），且故事发生在过去，用一般过去时，应用was filled。 【11题详解】 句意：我和爷爷在餐车找了位置坐下。 主语是My grandpa and I（两个人），表示“我们自己”，用反身代词ourselves。 【12题详解】 句意：看着窗外的风景掠过，我们边吃边喝。 故事发生在过去，用一般过去时，could是can的过去式，表示“能够、可以”。 【13题详解】 句意：我感觉我第一次理解了他。 主句I felt是一般过去时，宾语从句也要用过去时态，用understood。 【14题详解】 句意：我很感激我们在火车上共度的时光。 根据特指上文提到的火车，可知应用the。 【15题详解】 句意：在这个瞬息万变的世界里，我们常常错过重要的时刻。放慢脚步，倾听长辈讲述他们的历史或经历，对我们来说是必要的。 根据“It is+adj+to do”句型，可知应用It作形式主语。根据语境，真正主语是后文不定式。应用It。 二、完形填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 A group of university graduates visited their old professor. During their visit, the conversation turned to work. The graduates were ____16____ about their problems and stress in work and in life. After putting a pot of coffee on the table, the professor went to the kitchen and came back with a tray, crowded with many ____17____ cups: porcelain, glass, plastic and crystal. Some cups were simple, other ones were expensive. The professor asked them to pick out their cups first. When the graduates picked out their favorite cups, the professor ____18____ , “Notice how all the beautiful cups were picked out and the simple and cheap ones were left.” “Wanting only the best things for yourself ____19____ your problems and stress. You need to understand that the cup doesn’t make the coffee better. ____20____ , all that you wanted was the coffee, not the cup.” But you consciously ____21____ the best cups, and then looked to see what cups others picked. “Your ____22____ is the coffee. Your job, money, position in society...they are the cups. The type of cup doesn’t decide the quality of life. Sometimes, by focusing only on the cups, we forget to ____23____ the coffee. The ____24____ people are not those who have the best things, but those who enjoy life and make the most of what they have” Hearing this, the graduates were speechless. They had learned another important life lesson from their old professor-that true happiness means enjoying life and not worrying about ____25____ things. 16. A. thinking B. complaining C. learning D. worrying 17. A. different B. expensive C. cheap D. simple 18. A. shouted B. reported C. answered D. explained 19. A. cares for B. gets to C. leads to D. asks for 20. A. Luckily B. Finally C. Honestly D. Actually 21. A. bought B. chose C. brought D. decided 22. A. purpose B. life C. work D. study 23. A. buy B. understand C. drink D. taste 24. A. simplest B. happiest C. richest D. luckiest 25. A. unknown B. unusual C. unimportant D. unlucky 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. D 19. C 20. D 21. B 22. B 23. D 24. B 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述教授借杯子与咖啡的故事，教导毕业生生活本质是享受生命，而非过度关注外在物质，从而获得真正的幸福。 【16题详解】 句意：毕业生们抱怨他们在工作和生活中的问题和压力。 根据“about their problems and stress”及固定搭配“complain about”（抱怨），可知此处指毕业生们在发牢骚。thinking“思考”，learning“学习”，worrying“担心”语义不通。 【17题详解】 句意：教授拿回一个托盘，上面堆满了不同的杯子：陶瓷的、玻璃的、塑料的和水晶的。 根据后文列举的多种材质“porcelain, glass, plastic and crystal”可知，杯子种类多样。expensive“昂贵的”，cheap“便宜的”，simple“简单的”均片面。 【18题详解】 句意：当毕业生们挑选出他们最喜欢的杯子时，教授解释说，“注意，所有漂亮的杯子都被挑走了……” 根据前文教授让学生选杯子以及后文阐述道理的行为，可知教授是在解释现象。shouted“喊叫”，reported“报道”语气或场景不符，answered“回答”通常用于回答问题，不符合语境。 【19题详解】 句意：只想要最好的东西会给你带来问题和压力。 根据句子逻辑，“Wanting only the best things”是原因，“problems and stress”是结果。“leads to”意为导致，符合因果逻辑。cares for“照顾”，gets to“到达”，asks for“请求”均无法连接因果。 【20题详解】 句意：事实上，你想要的只是咖啡，而不是杯子。 根据语境，教授在揭示一个被忽视的真相。“Actually”意为实际上，用于引出事实。Luckily“幸运地”，Finally“最后”逻辑不通，Honestly“诚实地”侧重态度，不符合语境。 【21题详解】 句意：但是你有意识地选择了最好的杯子，然后看看其他人选择了什么杯子。 根据前文“picked out their favorite cups”可知，此处指挑选动作。“chose”与“picked”同义，符合语境。bought“买”，chose“选择”动作未发生，decided“决定”侧重心理决定。 【22题详解】 句意：你的生活是咖啡。 根据后文“The type of cup doesn’t decide the quality of life”可知，杯子对应外在条件，咖啡对应生活本身。purpose“目的”，work“工作”，study“学习”范围过窄。 【23题详解】 句意：有时候，只关注杯子，我们忘记品尝咖啡。 根据隐喻，咖啡代表生活，“taste”不仅指喝，更指品味和享受，符合“enjoy life”的主旨。buy“买”，understand“理解”语义不通；“drink”仅指动作，缺乏情感色彩。 【24题详解】 句意：最幸福的人不是那些拥有最好的东西的人，而是那些享受生活……的人。 根据文章结尾“true happiness”可知，全文讨论的是幸福观。simplest“最简单的”，richest“最富有的”，luckiest“最幸运的”偏离主题，只有happiest“最幸福的”契合文章中心思想。 【25题详解】 句意：真正的幸福意味着享受生活，不为无关紧要的事情担心。 根据主旨，工作、金钱等外在事物相比生命是次要的。“unimportant”意为不重要的，符合语境。unknown“未知的”，unusual“不寻常的”，unlucky“不幸的”无法体现主次关系。 三、阅读理解 (共10小题；每小题2分，共20分) (A) Xia Boyu, 70, is the first Chinese double amputee (被截肢者) to have reached the top of Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world, Du Juan reports. On May 14, 2018, Xia, who is the same age as the People’s Republic of China, made his dream come true by reaching the top of Qomolangma (Mount Everest) seven days after leaving Base Camp on the Nepal side of the mountain. Success didn’t come easy. He had failed to reach the 8, 844-meter peak four times before becoming one of the few double amputees to reach the top of the world. The first climb by a Chinese team to the peak of Qomolangma was in 1960. Xia, who was born in Chongqing in 1949, was chosen by the Chinese mountaineering team in 1974. In 1975, the second mountaineering team set off. All the other teammates finally reached the top, but Xia suffered bad frostbite (冻伤) in his legs, which had to be amputated at the knees. “It’s beyond imagination how difficult it was to accept the fact that I would suddenly become a disabled person.” Xia recalls. “I could not imagine a future of sitting in a wheelchair, perhaps forever?” When a doctor told him that with artificial limbs (义肢) he could live a normal life like anyone else, and he would even be able to do a lot of physical exercise, his hopes rose and he determined to climb Qomolangma again. To prepare for his fifth attempt (尝试) on Qomolangma, every day he got up at five in the morning and completed 90 minutes of strength training at home. OnMondays, Wednesdays and Fridays he would ride a bike to Fragrant Hills, 30kilometers from his home, walk to the top and then ride back home. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, he completed 10 km of speed walking. “Without targets, people lose direction,” Xia says. “So I will keep climbing and contributing in more ways to society.” 26. Which is the correct order according to the passage? a. Xia had to be amputated at the knee immediately after the climb. b. Xia joined the Chinese Mountaineering team. c. Xia made his dream come true by reaching the top of Qomolangma. d. Xia tried four times but failed so he prepared for the fifth. e. Chinese team set for the first climb to the top of Qomolangma. A. e-b-d-c-a B. b-a-e-c-d C. b-e-a-d-c D. e-b-a-d-c 27. What do we know from the passage? A. Xia reached the top of the world in 2018. B. Xia was 72 when he made his dream come true. C. The Base Camp lay on the Chinese side of the mountain. D. Xia was 29 when he first climbed Qomolangma. 28. We can learn all the following EXCEPT that ________. A. Xia felt it unimaginable to be sitting in a wheelchair all his life B. Xia lost hope after a doctor explained about his artificial limbs C. It took Xia a long time to make full preparations for his fifth attempt D. Xia had failed to reach the peak four times before his fifth attempt 29. What can replace the underlined word “targets” in the last paragraph? A. plans B. will C. aims D. hopes 30. What is the passage most probably taken from? A. TV interview B. A magazine C. Advertisement D. Short story 【答案】26. D 27. A 28. B 29. C 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了中国无腿登山家夏伯渝的传奇经历。他年轻时加入中国登山队，因冻伤双腿截肢，但并未放弃梦想，四次挑战珠峰失败后，仍坚持高强度训练，最终在 2018 年成功登顶珠穆朗玛峰，成为中国首位登顶珠峰的双腿截肢者。 【26题详解】 第四段“The first climb by a Chinese team to the peak of Qomolangma was in 1960.”，对应事件e；“Xia, who was born in Chongqing in 1949, was chosen by the Chinese mountaineering team in 1974.”，对应事件b；“In 1975, the second mountaineering team set off. All the other teammates finally reached the top, but Xia suffered bad frostbite in his legs, which had to be amputated at the knees.”，对应事件a；原文第三段“He had failed to reach the 8,844-meter peak four times before becoming one of the few double amputees to reach the top of the world.”，对应事件d。 原文第二段“On May 14, 2018, Xia, who is the same age as the People’s Republic of China, made his dream come true by reaching the top of Qomolangma.”，对应事件c。 综合时间与事件发展顺序，正确排序为e-b-a-d-c。 【27题详解】 根据第二段“On May 14, 2018, Xia…made his dream come true by reaching the top…”可知夏伯渝在2018年登上了世界之巅。 【28题详解】 根据第六段“When a doctor told him… his hopes rose”可知，医生解释义肢情况后，他的希望增加了，而不是失去了希望。 【29题详解】 最后一段“Without targets, people lose direction.” 结合句子语境可知targets表示“目标”，与aims含义一致。 【30题详解】 根据文章第一段“Du Juan reports”以及文中引用了多处夏伯渝的直接引语（如“Xia says”, “Xia recalls”），可知全文围绕登山人物夏伯渝展开纪实介绍，这类人物故事类文章常见于杂志。 (B) Scientists have shown that humans appear to have an ability to understand the signs of apes. As we all know, humans use words to talk to each other. But we also point, nod, and use our hands to show what we mean. We’ve been doing this for tens of thousands of years. Apes have their own system of gestures to show what they mean. Chimpanzees and bonobos (倭黑猩猩) are two kinds of apes that are the closest to humans. They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean. For example, a gesture the researchers call “big loud scratch” means “help pick insects off me”. Scientists have learned the meanings of these gestures by studying chimpanzees and bonobos for years. Besides, scientists have studied how apes use gestures. But no one had studied whether humans could understand the gestures of apes. Researchers Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St. Andrews decided to test this idea. They wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the gestures of chimpanzees and bonobos. The researchers created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a gesture. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers. Thousands of people played the game. The researchers were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the gestures over 50% of the time. For some of the gestures, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. But it’s not clear why. Humans and other apes all developed from an earlier kind of ape that lived long ago. One possibility is that the body language of these gestures has been passed down from this shared ancestor (祖先) . Another possibility is that the gestures are a natural result of humans and apes sharing similar body shapes and needing to communicate similar ideas. It’s also possible that the gestures simply look like the actions they are requesting. The researchers say that they need to study how humans are able to understand the gestures of apes. They’re also curious about how humans understand’ other animals, like dogs. 31. How does the writer develop Paragraph3? A. By telling a story. B. By giving an example. C. By giving a suggestion. D. By expressing an opinion. 32. Why did Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter decide to test their idea? A. They were required to find out the truth. B. They wanted to prove that chimpanzees are human ancestors. C. They wondered if humans had the natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. D. They wanted to create an interesting game about chimpanzees for people to play online. 33. Which of the following sentences uses the phrase “pass down” with the same meaning as the underlined one in the passage? A. The tradition has been passed down for hundreds of years. B. Pass down the bus and make room for more passengers. C. Why did he keep passing down the ball back to the goal keeper? D. His orders were passed down from the small group to the other workers 34. According to the passage, what will the researchers probably do next? A. Begin to study dogs. B. Encourage people to do research on apes. C. Create more games for people to play online. D. Study how humans can understand the gestures of apes. 35. What can we learn from the passage? A. Apes only use gestures to show what they mean. B. Scientists don’t know why humans can understand the gestures of apes. C. People can choose the correct meaning of 50%-80% of the gestures in the game. D. The writer writes the passage to tell us how humans can understand the gestures of apes. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了科学家发现人类似乎天生就能理解猿类的手势。研究人员通过线上游戏测试发现，即使没有受过训练，人们也能正确解读超过50%的猿类手势。文章探讨了这一现象的可能原因，包括与猿类共享祖先或身体结构相似，并指出未来将进一步研究人类对其他动物（如狗）手势的理解。 【31题详解】 第3段提到黑猩猩和倭黑猩猩使用约80种手势交流，并以“big loud scratch”这个手势为例，说明其含义是“帮我挑虫子”，因此作者通过举例展开段落。 【32题详解】 根据原文第5段“They wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the gestures of chimpanzees and bonobos.”可知，他们的目的是验证人类是否天生就能理解猿类手势。 【33题详解】 文中“pass down”意为“代代相传”，选项A中“传统已传承数百年”的用法与原文一致。 【34题详解】 根据原文最后一段“The researchers say that they need to study how humans are able to understand the gestures of apes.”可知，研究人员下一步计划研究人类是如何能够理解类人猿手势意思的。 【35题详解】 文中提到“it’s not clear why”，并列举了几种可能原因（共同祖先、身体结构相似等），但尚未确定真正原因，因此B选项正确。 四、阅读填空 (共5空；每空1分，共5分) 以下短文有5处空缺，请从所给五个选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。 “The only constant (不变) in life is change,” Heraclitus said in about 500 B. C. That could be truer today. ____36____ Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day. Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” In fact, there is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life. Why are we afraid of change? ____37____ After all, who knows what new dangers might appear? However, change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. ____38____ To be more imaginative and creative, you should look for and find environments you have no experience with. ____39____ For example, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn’t attend. Small change can help you gradually get used to uncertainty. So when bigger things happen, you’ll be more fully prepared for them. People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so. ____40____ If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful. A. That’s because our brains want to protect us. B. But change comes whether you ask for it or not. C. We live in a world that is changing every minute. D. You can learn how to face the changes in daily life. E. Dealing with the unexpected needs imagination and creativity. 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. E 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了随着科技发展，世界变化越来越快，人们应该去主动迎接变化，体现了主动应变的精神。 【36题详解】 根据第一段开头“The only constant in life is change”，可知文章的主题是改变，C项“We live in a world that is changing every minute”(我们生活在一个每分钟都在变化的世界里)呼应开头。 【37题详解】 上文提到“Why are we afraid of change?”(为什么我们害怕改变？)，空白处应填答语，A项“That’s because our brains want to protect us”(因为我们的大脑想要保护我们)符合上下文逻辑。 【38题详解】 下文提到“To be more imaginative and creative...”，说明空白处提到了imagination和creativity，E项“Dealing with the unexpected needs imagination and creativity”符合。 【39题详解】 下文给出的例子“For example, try a new restaurant...”属于现实生活中常见的情况，D项“You can learn how to face the changes in daily life”中的“daily life”与下文例子直接对应，且“learn how to face”为下文具体做法提供总起。 【40题详解】 上文讲述害怕变化的人会固守某种生活方式，下文“If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful”表达了如果你能主动应变，就会成功的文章主旨，因此本空需要一个过渡句，指出“无论你是否主动，变化都会到来”。B项“But change comes whether you ask for it or not”既承接上文对“害怕变化者”的描述，又为下文的“主动应变”提供对比前提，逻辑完整。 五、语篇填词 (共5空；每空1分，共5分) Paula is a polite girl, but she is very fat. It is very a____41____ that her classmates often laugh at her. She feels that she is out of place in class. So she asked Aunt Linda for advice.

Meanwhile, pay no attention to the students who make fun of her and don’t m____45____ what they say. Thanks for Linda’s help, Paula has more friends and becomes happier than before. 【答案】41. annoying##nnoying 42. solve##olve 43. suggested##uggested 44. relationship##elationship 45. mind##ind 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了女孩Paula在朋友Linda的帮助下结交朋友，收获自信的故事。 【41题详解】 句意：她的同学经常嘲笑她是非常惹人厌烦的。根据“her classmates often laugh at her”，可知被同学嘲笑是令人厌烦的；结合首字母提示，annoying符合语境。 【42题详解】 句意：琳达非常开心帮她解决烦恼。solve the problem意为“解决问题”。help sb do sth意为“帮助某人做某事”，空白处应填动词原形solve。 【43题详解】 句意：她耐心地跟宝拉谈话，并建议她按下面的建议去做。由上文可知，宝拉向琳达寻求帮助，琳达给予她建议；空白处应填动词，suggest符合句意；句子是一般过去时，空白处应填动词的过去式，suggest的过去式为suggested。 【44题详解】 句意：如果她主动帮助他们提高学习，他们确定能建立良好的关系。此处指琳达建议宝拉和同学们建立良好关系，结合首字母提示，relationship符合句意。 【45题详解】 句意：同时，不要注意那些取笑她的学生，不要在意他们说的话。根据“pay no attention to the students”，可知琳达建议宝拉不要在意那些学生，mind符合语境。 六、单词拼写 (共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 46. It’s c________ of you to leave your bike outside unlocked. 【答案】(c)areless 【解析】 【详解】句意：你把自行车放在外面不锁，真是太粗心了。根据“leave your bike outside unlocked”可知这是粗心大意的做法，形容词作表语。故填(c)areless。 47. Julie loves her sister t_________ she always plays the piano when she is studying. 【答案】though##hough 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管经常在她正在学习的时候弹钢琴，但朱莉很爱她的妹妹。“she always plays the piano”和“loves her sister”属于转折关系，应用though引导让步状语从句，意为“尽管……”。 48. Using English in real s_________ will improve your English skills greatly. 【答案】situations##ituations 【解析】 【详解】句意：在真实场景中使用英语将很大程度提高你的英语技能。根据“real”和“improve your English skills”，说明此处指在真实场景使用英语；结合首字母提示，situation符合语境，表示泛指时使用复数形式situations。 49. Cycling has many a_________. For example, it is good for the environment. 【答案】advantages##dvantages 【解析】 【详解】句意：骑行有许多优点。例如：对环境友好。下文“it is good for the environment”是主语Cycling的优点，结合首字母提示，advantage符合语境；空前有many修饰，应填名词复数。故填advantages。 50.

On May 14, 2018, Xia, who is the same age as the People’s Republic of China, made his dream come true by reaching the top of Qomolangma (Mount Everest) seven days after leaving Base Camp on the Nepal side of the mountain. Success didn’t come easy. He had failed to reach the 8, 844-meter peak four times before becoming one of the few double amputees to reach the top of the world. The first climb by a Chinese team to the peak of Qomolangma was in 1960. Xia, who was born in Chongqing in 1949, was chosen by the Chinese mountaineering team in 1974. In 1975, the second mountaineering team set off. All the other teammates finally reached the top, but Xia suffered bad frostbite (冻伤) in his legs, which had to be amputated at the knees. “It’s beyond imagination how difficult it was to accept the fact that I would suddenly become a disabled person.” Xia recalls. “I could not imagine a future of sitting in a wheelchair, perhaps forever?” When a doctor told him that with artificial limbs (义肢) he could live a normal life like anyone else, and he would even be able to do a lot of physical exercise, his hopes rose and he determined to climb Qomolangma again. To prepare for his fifth attempt (尝试) on Qomolangma, every day he got up at five in the morning and completed 90 minutes of strength training at home. OnMondays, Wednesdays and Fridays he would ride a bike to Fragrant Hills, 30kilometers from his home, walk to the top and then ride back home. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, he completed 10 km of speed walking. “Without targets, people lose direction,” Xia says. “So I will keep climbing and contributing in more ways to society.” 26. Which is the correct order according to the passage? a. Xia had to be amputated at the knee immediately after the climb. b. Xia joined the Chinese Mountaineering team. c. Xia made his dream come true by reaching the top of Qomolangma. d. Xia tried four times but failed so he prepared for the fifth. e. Chinese team set for the first climb to the top of Qomolangma. A. e-b-d-c-a B. b-a-e-c-d C. b-e-a-d-c D. e-b-a-d-c 27. What do we know from the passage? A. Xia reached the top of the world in 2018. B. Xia was 72 when he made his dream come true. C. The Base Camp lay on the Chinese side of the mountain. D. Xia was 29 when he first climbed Qomolangma. 28. We can learn all the following EXCEPT that ________. A. Xia felt it unimaginable to be sitting in a wheelchair all his life B. Xia lost hope after a doctor explained about his artificial limbs C. It took Xia a long time to make full preparations for his fifth attempt D. Xia had failed to reach the peak four times before his fifth attempt 29. What can replace the underlined word “targets” in the last paragraph? A. plans B. will C. aims D. hopes 30. What is the passage most probably taken from? A. TV interview B. A magazine C. Advertisement D. Short story (B) Scientists have shown that humans appear to have an ability to understand the signs of apes. As we all know, humans use words to talk to each other. But we also point, nod, and use our hands to show what we mean. We’ve been doing this for tens of thousands of years. Apes have their own system of gestures to show what they mean. Chimpanzees and bonobos (倭黑猩猩) are two kinds of apes that are the closest to humans. They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean. For example, a gesture the researchers call “big loud scratch” means “help pick insects off me”. Scientists have learned the meanings of these gestures by studying chimpanzees and bonobos for years. Besides, scientists have studied how apes use gestures. But no one had studied whether humans could understand the gestures of apes. Researchers Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St. Andrews decided to test this idea. They wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the gestures of chimpanzees and bonobos. The researchers created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a gesture. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers. Thousands of people played the game. The researchers were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the gestures over 50% of the time. For some of the gestures, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. But it’s not clear why. Humans and other apes all developed from an earlier kind of ape that lived long ago. One possibility is that the body language of these gestures has been passed down from this shared ancestor (祖先) . Another possibility is that the gestures are a natural result of humans and apes sharing similar body shapes and needing to communicate similar ideas. It’s also possible that the gestures simply look like the actions they are requesting. The researchers say that they need to study how humans are able to understand the gestures of apes. They’re also curious about how humans understand’ other animals, like dogs. 31. How does the writer develop Paragraph3? A. By telling a story. B. By giving an example. C. By giving a suggestion. D. By expressing an opinion. 32. Why did Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter decide to test their idea? A. They were required to find out the truth. B. They wanted to prove that chimpanzees are human ancestors. C. They wondered if humans had the natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. D. They wanted to create an interesting game about chimpanzees for people to play online. 33. Which of the following sentences uses the phrase “pass down” with the same meaning as the underlined one in the passage? A. The tradition has been passed down for hundreds of years. B. Pass down the bus and make room for more passengers. C. Why did he keep passing down the ball back to the goal keeper? D. His orders were passed down from the small group to the other workers 34. According to the passage, what will the researchers probably do next? A. Begin to study dogs. B. Encourage people to do research on apes. C. Create more games for people to play online. D. Study how humans can understand the gestures of apes. 35. What can we learn from the passage? A. Apes only use gestures to show what they mean. B. Scientists don’t know why humans can understand the gestures of apes. C. People can choose the correct meaning of 50%-80% of the gestures in the game. D. The writer writes the passage to tell us how humans can understand the gestures of apes. 四、阅读填空 (共5空；每空1分，共5分) 以下短文有5处空缺，请从所给五个选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。 “The only constant (不变) in life is change,” Heraclitus said in about 500 B.

Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” In fact, there is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life. Why are we afraid of change? ____37____ After all, who knows what new dangers might appear? However, change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life.
