One family, two worlds: an elephant’s story
I’m now very old and near the end of my life. But I can still remember many years ago, I lived with my mother, aunts and cousins in a wild and beautiful land. We enjoyed our time under the deep blue sky. We had more than enough to eat. We never worried about anything until one day, when I was about three.
On that day, a group of two-legged strangers appeared in front of us—I found out later that they were humans. Without warning they raised their guns and shot dead my mother and several of my relatives. As I was about to be shot, one of them said, “Keep that little one. He’s handsome and seems smart. We can make greater use of him.” I was then trained and forced to do all kinds of stupid tricks to make humans laugh.
Now, years and years later, things are changing for the better. Our population is starting to grow again. My great-great-grandsons and granddaughters are able to move freely across the land. They search for food, water and places to rest. The little ones sometimes damage crops and people’s homes. But they are not chased or harmed. There are no angry humans going after them. Instead, people leave them bags of corn and fruit on the roadside. The food leads them in the right direction back to their homeland. Drones follow their progress and volunteers protect them from harm. The little ones do not have to worry about anything. They move around without a care in the world. They eat when they are hungry and sleep when tired. They swim in the river and play when they feel like it. No one forces them to move away from their land.
What a different world this is! This is a world of harmony between man and other animals. In the old world, we were killed for our tusks. In this new world, humans respect and value all animal species.

How do we use strong body language to make us seem powerful while making a speech? Vanessa, who is a researcher of human behavior, once said that Tony the Tiger has some of the best body language we can learn from. The picture is Tony the Tiger’s typical pose on every cereal box across America.
Researchers have found that the broader we stand, the more powerful we feel. So by examining Tony’s pose, we see that he is standing very broadly with his feet. If you look closer, you’ll see he is pointing upwards, as if he were saying, “I am going up.” or “ ▲ ”
If you look at Tony again, you can see his smile lines reach almost all the way up to his eyes. His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive. This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic.
Tony the Tiger always faces forward. When we are talking with people face to face, we are showing a sign of respect. So if you look at the cereal box, you may feel like Tony is paying attention to you and this is exactly what kids like to see.
An interesting study found that 57 out of the 86 cereal boxes had characters looking down. Imagine a child is walking around in the supermarket, hand-in-hand with his or her mom. The small child is looking up at all the boxes and they see the cereal characters looking down at them. When the child looks up and makes eye contact with the box, this attracts the child’s attention to that character. Making eye contact is great because it can increase feelings of love and interest!
Great body language during the speech draws the audience’s attention to your points, and helps you connect with your listeners and build up a good relationship. Next time you are going to speak in public, just think about Tony, the Tiger!
21.Which is the most suitable sentence to fill in “ ▲ ”?
A.This is me. B.I’m No.1.
C.Who are you? D.Why not?
22.According to the passage, what makes Tony the Tiger look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic?
A.His broad standing position. B.His upward-pointing finger.
C.His expressive open smile. D.His forward-facing posture.
23.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.Making eye contact with people is helpful.
B.Characters can attract children by looking up.
C.The number is useful to the study on characters.
D.Many cereal boxes have characters looking down.
24.What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce Tony the Tiger.
B.To tell people how to make a speech.
C.To talk about Vanessa’s interesting study.
D.To help people have better body language.
25.What is the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
第二节 短文填空(共 5 小题, 每小题1分,共5分)
请阅读全文,并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。
In today’s world, mastering more than one language has become increasingly valuable. What is your first language and can you speak another one? Learning a second language is really helpful for us. 26
You become smarter.
Learning a second language improves your memory. Becoming bilingual (会说两种语言的) exercises your mind, helps you stay focused, and improves your problem-solving skills. 27 Learning a second language also improves your first language, as it teaches you the rules behind any language—not just new languages.
It’s great for traveling.
Austrian thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein said that “the limits of your language are the limits of your world” and he had a good point. 28 Traveling through a foreign country becomes much easier if you can speak the language of that country.
It increases your creativity.
29 Learning a foreign language not only improves your ability to solve problems, it also makes you try out new words.
It builds up your self-confidence.
You’re about to teach yourself to believe, “Yes, I can.” Confidence increases when a new skill is mastered, and learning a foreign language is no different. 30 The way you use to develop a second language helps you become more open-minded.
A.There are many advantages of learning a foreign language.
B.Speaking different languages makes people more creative.
C.Bilingual students have a better chance of getting good grades.
D.Knowing more than one language opens up your vacation possibilities.
E.Confident people are more interesting than those unsure of themselves.
F.Language learning is closely related to one’s family background.

The Silk Road is one of the 36 (old) trade routes in history. It has connected East Asia and Europe for over 2,000 years. It got its name because silk, 37 valuable product from China, was taken along this route (路线) to the West in ancient 38 (time).
In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions twice. These trips helped 39 (build) friendly relations between China and Central Asian countries, laying the foundation (基础) for the Silk Road. At that time, traders from different places 40 (travel) along the route. They carried goods and shared ideas.
The Silk Road was not a single path but a network of routes. Some parts went through deserts and mountains. This made travel 41 (difficulty). Traders depended 42 camels to carry their goods.

【详解】1.句意:为了让一个角色活起来,动画师必须画出他或她动作的每一个部分。
根据空后“the animators had to draw each part of his or her movements”及动画制作常识,制作动画的目的是让角色“活起来”。come to life意为“活过来,变得生动”,符合语境。
2.句意:例如,如果他们想展示英雄跳上跳下,他们必须为动作的每个部分做不同的绘画。
根据前文”character”及语境,动画里跳跃的应是故事中的“主角”,hero符合角色设定。
3.句意:自20世纪90年代以来,强大的计算机和先进的软件使制作动画电影变得更加容易和便宜。
根据空前“powerful computers”及后文“made it much easier and cheaper”,此处需与“强大的”并列,指“先进的”软件,advanced“先进的”符合技术描述。

5.句意:今天,动画师甚至可以使用人工智能使角色更加逼真。
根据空前“use”及后文“make the characters more lifelike”,现代动画技术中“人工智能”能提升角色真实感。artificial intelligence“人工智能”符合技术应用;shadow puppets“皮影”、paper-cutting“剪纸”与ink-wash painting“水墨画”均为传统艺术形式,与“现代技术”不符。
6.句意:这些电影非常成功,赢得了许多奖项。
根据空后“won many awards”,电影因“成功”而获奖。successful“成功的”符合结果描述。
7.句意:它们将中国传统艺术技法与现代动画方法相结合。
根据空前“traditional Chinese art techniques”及空后“modern animation methods”,此处表示“结合”两种技术。combine...with...“把……与……结合”为固定搭配,表示“将……与……融合”。
8.句意:像《大圣归来》这样的电影受到了各个年龄段的人的欢迎。
根据空后“of all ages”,电影受众为“所有年龄段的人”。people“人”涵盖各年龄段。
9.句意:它们表明中国传统文化仍然可以在现代世界中让人们感到惊叹。
根据空前“traditional Chinese culture”及空后“people in the modern world”,传统文化的独特魅力能让现代人感到“惊叹”。amaze“使惊讶/惊叹”符合语境。
10.句意:谁知道在接下来的几年里我们会看到什么新的和令人惊叹的风格?
根据空后“the next few years”,此处表示“在……期间”,用于将来时。in“在……里”符合时间表达,固定搭配“in the next few years”表示“在未来几年内”。

C
How do we use strong body language to make us seem powerful while making a speech? Vanessa, who is a researcher of human behavior, once said that Tony the Tiger has some of the best body language we can learn from. The picture is Tony the Tiger’s typical pose on every cereal box across America.
Researchers have found that the broader we stand, the more powerful we feel. So by examining Tony’s pose, we see that he is standing very broadly with his feet. If you look closer, you’ll see he is pointing upwards, as if he were saying, “I am going up.” or “ ▲ ”
If you look at Tony again, you can see his smile lines reach almost all the way up to his eyes. His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive. This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic.
Tony the Tiger always faces forward. When we are talking with people face to face, we are showing a sign of respect. So if you look at the cereal box, you may feel like Tony is paying attention to you and this is exactly what kids like to see.
An interesting study found that 57 out of the 86 cereal boxes had characters looking down. Imagine a child is walking around in the supermarket, hand-in-hand with his or her mom. The small child is looking up at all the boxes and they see the cereal characters looking down at them. When the child looks up and makes eye contact with the box, this attracts the child’s attention to that character. Making eye contact is great because it can increase feelings of love and interest!
Great body language during the speech draws the audience’s attention to your points, and helps you connect with your listeners and build up a good relationship. Next time you are going to speak in public, just think about Tony, the Tiger!
21.Which is the most suitable sentence to fill in “ ▲ ”?
A.This is me. B.I’m No.1.
C.Who are you? D.Why not?
22.According to the passage, what makes Tony the Tiger look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic?
A.His broad standing position. B.His upward-pointing finger.
C.His expressive open smile. D.His forward-facing posture.
23.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.Making eye contact with people is helpful.
B.Characters can attract children by looking up.
C.The number is useful to the study on characters.
D.Many cereal boxes have characters looking down.
24.What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce Tony the Tiger.
B.To tell people how to make a speech.
C.To talk about Vanessa’s interesting study.
D.To help people have better body language.
25.What is the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.

22.第三段“His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive. This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic.”提到舒展又富有感染力的微笑让托尼看起来开心、兴奋又乐观。

In today’s world, mastering more than one language has become increasingly valuable. What is your first language and can you speak another one? Learning a second language is really helpful for us. 26
You become smarter.
Learning a second language improves your memory. Becoming bilingual (会说两种语言的) exercises your mind, helps you stay focused, and improves your problem-solving skills. 27 Learning a second language also improves your first language, as it teaches you the rules behind any language—not just new languages.
It’s great for traveling.
Austrian thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein said that “the limits of your language are the limits of your world” and he had a good point. 28 Traveling through a foreign country becomes much easier if you can speak the language of that country.
It increases your creativity.
29 Learning a foreign language not only improves your ability to solve problems, it also makes you try out new words.
It builds up your self-confidence.
You’re about to teach yourself to believe, “Yes, I can.” Confidence increases when a new skill is mastered, and learning a foreign language is no different. 30 The way you use to develop a second language helps you become more open-minded.
A.There are many advantages of learning a foreign language.
B.Speaking different languages makes people more creative.
C.Bilingual students have a better chance of getting good grades.
D.Knowing more than one language opens up your vacation possibilities.
E.Confident people are more interesting than those unsure of themselves.
F.Language learning is closely related to one’s family background.
【答案】26.A 27.C 28.D 29.B 30.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要围绕学习第二外语展开,分别从变聪明、便于旅行、提升创造力、树立自信四个方面介绍学习外语的益处。

27.前句提到双语能锻炼思维、专注力与解题能力“Becoming bilingual exercises your mind, helps…”,此处需要补充掌握双语的好处。选项C“Bilingual students have a better chance of getting good grades.”继续说明双语对学习的益处,贴合段落“变聪明”的中心。
28.后文说明掌握外语方便境外出行“Traveling through a foreign country becomes much easier…”,此处需要点明语言和旅行的关联。选项D“Knowing more than one language opens up your vacation possibilities.”点明外语拓展出游选择,贴合本段旅行主题。
29.后文介绍学外语可以锻炼解题能力并且可以尝试新词“Learning a foreign language not only improves your ability…”,开头需要设置主旨句总领全段。选项B“Speaking different languages makes people more creative.”点明多语言提升创造力,紧扣本段提升创造力的中心。
30.前句提到学习外语能够收获自信“Confidence increases when a new skill is mastered…”,后句讲述学习外语开阔眼界“…helps you become more open-minded.”,中间需要补充自信相关内容。选项E“Confident people are more interesting than those unsure of themselves.”围绕自信展开,衔接自然。

That evening, just as we were getting ready to sleep in our tent, we suddenly noticed several aliens standing nearby. They were tall and strong, with teeth as sharp as knives. When they saw us, they seemed frightened.
We waved to greet them, but they did not respond. Shortly after, they turned and went back into their spaceship, which then quickly disappeared into the night sky.
