B Many people believe a common saying: fish can only keep memories for just seven seconds. For a long time, we think fish are forgetful and they will never remember past experiences. However, a new scientific study shows that this old idea is completely wrong. According to a new study published in the famous science magazine Nature, fish are much smarter than we imagine. Some kinds of fish have special DNA in their bodies. Surprisingly, this special genetic (遗传的) structure helps them form clearer and longer-lasting memories than human beings. More amazingly, their precious memories can be passed down to their young through genes. This amazing ability plays an important role in fish’s survival in nature. It helps fish stay away from dangers and live longer. Here is a clear example. If parent fish once suffered from hunger in a special water environment, their baby fish will naturally remember this dangerous situation after birth. The young fish will make full preparations ahead of time to avoid hunger and keep safe. In fact, fish can remember dangerous places, food sources (来源) and useful skills for months. Next time when your friends talk about fish’s seven-second memory, you can share this interesting science fact with them. It is really surprising that such small sea creatures have such powerful memories. 25. For a long time, what do people think of fish? A. They are smart. B. They are special. C. They are forgetful. D. They are interesting. 26. What does the underlined word “precious” mean in Paragraph 2? A. valuable B. terrible C. dangerous D. countable 27. What will happen when parent fish once suffered from hunger in one place? A. They will tell their baby fish to remember this place. B. The parent fish will remember this dangerous place. C. Their baby fish will avoid hunger in this place after birth. D. Their baby fish will naturally forget this dangerous place. 28. According to the text, fish can remember ______ for months. A. a kind of food B. a good friend C. useful tools D. unsafe places C Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses. Tea drinking started in China and India over 4,000 years ago, around 2700 BC. Tea is made from a leaf. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with sleep, stress, or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries see tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in countries such as China is a part of the culture. In China, tea is always present when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a business, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. This is a time when tea and other dishes are served in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers. Coffee came much later than tea, at just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel more energy. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the work day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people at the coffee shop drink coffee while working on their computers. Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more? 29. From the text, we know that tea drinking has lasted for ______. A. over 1000 years B. over 2700 years C. more than 4000 years D. more than 5000 years 30. What do most people mainly drink coffee for? A. Getting energized. B. Keeping healthy. C. Relaxing themselves. D. Visiting coffee shop. 31. One thing tea and coffee have in common is that they act as ______. A. a drink for losing weight B. a present for meeting people C. a tool for welcoming some foreign visitors D. a bridge for communication between people 32. What’s the best title (标题) for the text? A. A way of relaxing B. The most popular drink C. History of two different drinks D. Different cultures of tea and coffee D Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for inviting me to speak to you about Blue Sky Rescue today. Let me begin with my own story. Back in 2008, I was hiking in the mountains with some friends when one of them fell and got a bad head injury. We had to find help quickly, so we called an emergency (紧急情况) number. It was already dark, and we couldn’t even see where we were. After some time, we heard dogs barking and the voices of the Blue Sky Rescue team. I nearly started crying. We were so thankful that they found us! I’ve never forgotten that day. Since then, I’ve wanted to help others too. I signed up with Blue Sky Rescue in 2009, and I’ve been a volunteer ever since. We’ve been to schools and other communities to teach children and adults how to stay safe and prepare for the worst. We’ve provided medical aid and searched for missing people after natural disasters. Working as a volunteer has taught me many practical life-saving skills. It has also helped me understand the power of teamwork because it’s the key to successful rescues. Most of all, being a volunteer has taught me the value of every life. The work is difficult. It’s voluntary, so we aren’t paid. We often go without food or sleep. But our primary goal has always been to save as many people as we can. I’m just an ordinary person, but I’ll rush into danger. To the people we’ve saved and their loved ones, I know we’re their heroes. And that makes everything we do worth it. We want to do even more, but we can’t do it all alone. Will you join us as a volunteer? Together we can make a difference! 33. Why did the writer tell his own story in the second paragraph? A. To introduce himself. B. To become a volunteer. C. To tell the reason why he joined Blue Sky Rescue. D. To remind people of calling an emergency number. 34. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4? A. Working as a volunteer B. Hiking in the mountains C. Teaching practical life-saving skills D. Searching for missing people 35. From the text, we can infer (推断) that ______. A. the writer is paid for his work B. the writer wants to be a hero C. some voluntary work is dangerous D. voluntary work is the key to success 36. How does the writer feel as a volunteer? A. Bored. B. Proud. C. lonely. D. Successful. 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余选项。 Most kids in Britain have pet bears. This animal is both furry (毛茸茸的) and friendly. But it cannot move or make any noise. 37 Most teddies are in the shape of a small bear. They are usually brown and stuffed (填充) with cotton. Kids love them very much. Paddington bear is one of the most famous teddy bears in the world. Yet there are many types. Do you know Winnie the Pooh?

Teddy bears have long been a popular kids’ toy. They are in songs, stories and films. 39 And it’s not even just kids who hold teddy bears. It’s a popular present for lovers, usually on Valentine’s Day. In the UK it is popular for a newborn baby to get a teddy bear as their first gift. The day I was born, my grandmother handed me a teddy bear. She made it herself. That makes him the same age as me!

I like Winnie the Pooh very much. C. It is the best gift I have ever gotten. D. Cute, soft teddy bears were born in the 20th century. E.

Most people don’t want 51 (buy) art. They think of art as something that cannot be used. Many people enjoy looking 52 pieces of art, but there are not many people who would like to pay a lot of money for art. Maybe this is why some people are 53 (surprise) when a piece of art sells for a lot of money. Why are some art pieces so expensive? Who decides how much art is worth anyway? Works by famous artists, such as Monet or Picasso, are worth a lot of money. 54 the value may go up or down based on if a work is real and how common it is. For artists who may be new or not so well-known, the value of their art may go up or down based on an art 55 (expert) opinion of it. However, sometimes the value of art does not follow rules. For example, Jackson Pollock is best known for his paintings. His paintings look like paint 56 (throw) on a wall. Still, his paintings sell for millions. Another artist’s photograph of a simple, brown potato sold for 57 (much) than a million dollars. These are examples of when the value given to a piece of art may confuse (使困惑) some people. In the end, the value of a piece of art 58 (depend) on each person. What may be worthless to 59 (first) person may be very valuable to another. In the end, the buyer decides 60 worth of a piece of art. The value of a piece of art just becomes the price someone pays for it. 四、阅读与表达（共4小题，61-63小题，每小题2分，64小题4分；满分10分） 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 Once upon a time, there was a family with 18 children living in a village. Two of the children, both boys, loved painting very much, but the family was so poor that it was impossible to send both of them to study at art school at the same time. After many discussions, the two boys finally worked out a plan. They would toss (抛) a coin. The loser would go down into the mines (煤矿) and, with his money, pay for his brother’s college tuition (学费). Then, when the brother who won the toss finished his studies, he would pay for the other brother to study at the college. One of the brothers, Albrecht Durer, won the toss and his brother Jack went down into the mines. Durer worked with all his heart and his paintings were much better than those of most of his teachers. He was beginning to make a lot of money for his paintings. Durer returned. When he told Jack he could go to art college, Jack said softly: “The four years in the mines have done too much to my hands. It is too late. Now I can’t even hold a glass.” To show his great love and respect for his brother, Durer drew his brother’s hands with palms (手掌) together and thin fingers towards the sky. He called his drawing The Praying Hands, which became very famous years later. The next time you see a copy of that touching work, take a second look. Let it be your reminder: No one can ever succeed alone! 61. How many children were there in the family? 62. Why was it impossible to send both boys to art school together? 63. How long did Jack work in the mines when Durer returned? 64. What do you think of the story? Talk about your ideas. Write 30 words or more. 五、书面表达（满分20分） 65．假设你是李辉，你校英文网站要征集有关“与大自然做朋友”的文章，请你以“How to make friends with nature”为题写一篇博文。内容包括： （1）大自然的重要性； （2）你与大自然接触的一次经历； （3）你的感受及愿望。 注意： （1）词数80-100。开头已为你写好，不计入总词数； （2）可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； （3）短文中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 How to make friends with nature Nature is our greatest teacher and gift. ________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
