But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague figure（模糊的形象）to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else. When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation, my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all. But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony, where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up（露面）. “Don’t come. I will be very nervous if I see you,” I told him. I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave. I suddenly noticed a familiar（熟悉的）looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father! I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears（眼泪）running down my face. “Well done,” he said. His eyes were also filled with tears. Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn’t want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech. For much of my life, I described my father as a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously（明显地）not true. At my graduation ceremony. I could feel my father’s deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don’t perceive（感知）the world with our hearts and minds. There’s no doubt that life doesn’t lack（缺少）love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it. 29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The writer’s father was in the hospital during her operation. B．The writer’s father attended her high school graduation ceremony. C．The writer’s father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school. D．The writer’s father went to parent-teacher meeting when she was in primary school. 30．The writer rushed to her father with tears running down her face mainly because . A．she gave a speech successfully B．the graduation ceremony was over C．she was so nervous that she couldn’t help crying D．she was touched to find her father cared about her 31．What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to（指代）? A．That my father was always doing projects. B．That my father was a cold-blooded man. C．That my father sat in the corner of the hall. D．That my father’s eyes were filled with tears. 32．What’s the best title of the passage? A．My busy father B．Life is full of love C．Seeing is not believing D．A wonderful speech C Birds in cities stay awake longer, according to a new study. It found that birds in light-polluted areas are active for longer each day than those in the countryside, where there is less artificial (人工的) light. Light pollution is when there’s lots of artificial light from street lamps, buildings and cars. This brightens the natural darkness and can trick animals into thinking the day is longer than it really is. Scientists studied over four million bird calls from BirdWeather, a citizen-science project. People send birdsong recordings to it, and AI helps identify (识别) the sounds. BirdWeather then uses that information to study how birds behave and how their numbers change. Scientists also compared the information with light pollution data (数据) from satellite images. Researchers listened to birdsong in the mornings and evenings, when the birds were most active. They found that birds in towns or cities, which have lots of light pollution, sing for 50 minutes longer every day on average. They start about 20 minutes earlier in the morning and then continue for about 30 minutes more in the evening. Not all birds respond (反应) to artificial light the same way. Birds with larger eyes seemed more sensitive (敏 感) to it. American robins, Australian magpie-larks and European goldfinches stay active much longer than average. But small-eyed birds like sparrows showed less change. More study is needed on how birds are influenced. For example, Dr Brent Pease from Southern Illinois University said nobody knows yet if less sleep harms birds. He pointed out, “Birds have developed smart ways to deal with loss of sleep during migratory (迁徙) periods.” 33. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Street lamp. B. Light pollution. C. Longer daytime. D. Natural darkness. 34. To find out how light pollution influences birds’ activity, the scientists ________. A. collected birds’ sleep recordings B. counted birds with AI in different places C. watched how birds sing D. studied bird calls and light pollution data 35. What can we learn from Brent Pease’s words in the last paragraph? A. Further research is required. B. Light pollution does harm birds. C. Birds can’t solve loss of sleep. D. The university supports him a lot. 36. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Why birds are sensitive to light. B. Light pollution changes birds’ kinds. C. How AI helps study birds’ sounds. D. City lights keep birds singing longer. D Tu Youyou is a famous Chinese scientist. She is known for discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, a medicine that has saved millions of lives around the world. Tu Youyou was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province in 1930. She studied medicine at Peking University and later worked at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. In 1967, the Chinese government started a project to find a cure for malaria（疟疾）, a deadly disease that affects millions of people in tropical areas. Tu Youyou led the project team. At that time, there was little research on malaria in China. Tu Youyou and her team studied ancient Chinese medical books to find clues. They found a sentence in a book written by a Tang Dynasty doctor: “Soak artemisia （青蒿）in water and squeeze out the juice to treat fevers.” This gave them the idea to extract（提取）medicine from artemisia. The team worked day and night in a small lab. They tested more than 200 kinds of artemisia and made 380 extracts. Finally, in 1971, they found that artemisinin could kill the malaria parasite（寄生虫）. However, testing the medicine was dangerous. Tu Youyou volunteered to test it on herself first. “I wanted to make sure the medicine was safe,” she said. In 2015, Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery. She was the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize in science. She said, “The prize belongs to the whole team and to traditional Chinese medicine.” Today, Tu Youyou is 94 years old, but she still works on medical research. She hopes to develop more medicines to treat diseases and help more people. Her story tells us that hard work and persistence can lead to great achievements. 37. What is Tu Youyou famous for? A. Studying ancient Chinese medical books. B. Discovering artemisinin. C. Winning the first Nobel Prize in China. D. Working in a small lab. 38. Why did Tu Youyou volunteer to test the medicine on herself? A. To make sure the medicine was safe. B. To be the first to use the medicine. C. To get more money for the team. D. To win a prize. 39. When did Tu Youyou win the Nobel Prize? A. In 1930. B. In 1967. C. In 1971. D. In 2015. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Malaria B. Traditional Chinese Medicine C. Tu Youyou: A Great Chinese Scientist D. How to Extract Artemisia B) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯、意思完整。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Exercise is very good for us.

But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague figure（模糊的形象）to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else. When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation, my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all. But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony, where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up（露面）. “Don’t come. I will be very nervous if I see you,” I told him. I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave. I suddenly noticed a familiar（熟悉的）looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father! I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears（眼泪）running down my face. “Well done,” he said. His eyes were also filled with tears. Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn’t want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech. For much of my life, I described my father as a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously（明显地）not true. At my graduation ceremony. I could feel my father’s deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don’t perceive（感知）the world with our hearts and minds. There’s no doubt that life doesn’t lack（缺少）love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it. 29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The writer’s father was in the hospital during her operation. B．The writer’s father attended her high school graduation ceremony. C．The writer’s father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school. D．The writer’s father went to parent-teacher meeting when she was in primary school. 30．The writer rushed to her father with tears running down her face mainly because . A．she gave a speech successfully B．the graduation ceremony was over C．she was so nervous that she couldn’t help crying D．she was touched to find her father cared about her 31．What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to（指代）? A．That my father was always doing projects. B．That my father was a cold-blooded man. C．That my father sat in the corner of the hall. D．That my father’s eyes were filled with tears. 32．What’s the best title of the passage? A．My busy father B．Life is full of love C．Seeing is not believing D．A wonderful speech 【答案】29．B 30．D 31．B 32．C 【解析】 【导语】这篇短文介绍的是作者以为自己的父亲是位冷酷的人，其实父亲是爱作者的。告诉我们事实上，眼见未必为实，如果我们不用心感知这个世界，看到的可能不是事实。 29．细节理解题。根据 At my graduation ceremony I could feel my father's deep love.可知作者父亲参加了作者 的毕业典礼。故选 B。 30．细节理解题。根据 I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears running down my face. "Well done," he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.可知作者泪流满面地冲向自己的父亲，因为父亲关注他，他被感动了， 故选 D。 31．词义猜测题。根据 For much of my life, I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously（明显地）not true.可知在我的生活中，我描述 了我的父亲是一个冷酷的人，他只关心他的工作。但当我思考这件事时，指的是父亲是个冷酷的人，这显 然是不正确的。故选 B。 32．最佳标题题。根据 The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don't perceive （感知）the world with our hearts and minds.可知事实上，眼见未必为实，如果我们不用心感知这个世界，看 到的可能不是事实。故选 C。 C Birds in cities stay awake longer, according to a new study. It found that birds in light-polluted areas are active for longer each day than those in the countryside, where there is less artificial (人工的) light. Light pollution is when there’s lots of artificial light from street lamps, buildings and cars. This brightens the natural darkness and can trick animals into thinking the day is longer than it really is. Scientists studied over four million bird calls from BirdWeather, a citizen-science project. People send birdsong recordings to it, and AI helps identify (识别) the sounds. BirdWeather then uses that information to study how birds behave and how their numbers change. Scientists also compared the information with light pollution data (数据) from satellite images. Researchers listened to birdsong in the mornings and evenings, when the birds were most active. They found that birds in towns or cities, which have lots of light pollution, sing for 50 minutes longer every day on average. They start about 20 minutes earlier in the morning and then continue for about 30 minutes more in the evening. Not all birds respond (反应) to artificial light the same way. Birds with larger eyes seemed more sensitive (敏 感) to it. American robins, Australian magpie-larks and European goldfinches stay active much longer than average. But small-eyed birds like sparrows showed less change. More study is needed on how birds are influenced. For example, Dr Brent Pease from Southern Illinois University said nobody knows yet if less sleep harms birds. He pointed out, “Birds have developed smart ways to deal with loss of sleep during migratory (迁徙) periods.” 33. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Street lamp. B. Light pollution. C. Longer daytime. D. Natural darkness. 34. To find out how light pollution influences birds’ activity, the scientists ________. A. collected birds’ sleep recordings B. counted birds with AI in different places C. watched how birds sing D. studied bird calls and light pollution data 35. What can we learn from Brent Pease’s words in the last paragraph? A. Further research is required. B. Light pollution does harm birds. C. Birds can’t solve loss of sleep. D. The university supports him a lot. 36. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Why birds are sensitive to light. B. Light pollution changes birds’ kinds. C. How AI helps study birds’ sounds. D. City lights keep birds singing longer. 【答案】33. B 34. D 35. A 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了研究表明城市光污染会延长鸟类活动时间，科学家结合鸟鸣录音与卫星光污染数 据展开研究，城市鸟类平均每日鸣叫多出 50 分钟。不同鸟类对人工光敏感度不同，目前光污染对鸟类睡眠的长期影响仍需更多研究。 33.根据前一句“Light pollution is when there’s lots of artificial light…”可知，划线词 This 指代前一句的主语概念，即“光污染”。 34.根据第三段“Scientists studied over four million bird calls… Scientists also compared the information with light pollution data from satellite images.”可知，科学家研究了超过四百万次鸟叫声，并将这些信息与卫星图像中的光污染数据进行了对比。 35.根据最后一段“More study is needed on how birds are influenced.”以及 Dr. Brent Pease 所说的“nobody knows yet if less sleep harms birds”，可知还需要进一步的研究。 36. 通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项新研究，发现城市的人造光污染导致鸟类每天保持活跃和鸣叫的时间变长，因此“城市灯光让鸟儿鸣叫更久”最适合做本文的标题。 D Tu Youyou is a famous Chinese scientist. She is known for discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, a medicine that has saved millions of lives around the world. Tu Youyou was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province in 1930. She studied medicine at Peking University and later worked at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. In 1967, the Chinese government started a project to find a cure for malaria（疟疾）, a deadly disease that affects millions of people in tropical areas. Tu Youyou led the project team. At that time, there was little research on malaria in China. Tu Youyou and her team studied ancient Chinese medical books to find clues. They found a sentence in a book written by a Tang Dynasty doctor: “Soak artemisia （青蒿）in water and squeeze out the juice to treat fevers.” This gave them the idea to extract（提取）medicine from artemisia. The team worked day and night in a small lab. They tested more than 200 kinds of artemisia and made 380 extracts. Finally, in 1971, they found that artemisinin could kill the malaria parasite（寄生虫）. However, testing the medicine was dangerous. Tu Youyou volunteered to test it on herself first. “I wanted to make sure the medicine was safe,” she said. In 2015, Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery. She was the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize in science. She said, “The prize belongs to the whole team and to traditional Chinese medicine.” Today, Tu Youyou is 94 years old, but she still works on medical research. She hopes to develop more medicines to treat diseases and help more people. Her story tells us that hard work and persistence can lead to great achievements. 37. What is Tu Youyou famous for? A. Studying ancient Chinese medical books. B. Discovering artemisinin. C. Winning the first Nobel Prize in China. D. Working in a small lab. 38. Why did Tu Youyou volunteer to test the medicine on herself? A. To make sure the medicine was safe. B. To be the first to use the medicine. C. To get more money for the team. D. To win a prize. 39. When did Tu Youyou win the Nobel Prize? A. In 1930. B. In 1967. C. In 1971. D. In 2015. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Malaria B. Traditional Chinese Medicine C.

But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague figure（模糊的形象）to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else. When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation, my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all. But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony, where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up（露面）. “Don’t come. I will be very nervous if I see you,” I told him. I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave. I suddenly noticed a familiar（熟悉的）looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father! I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears（眼泪）running down my face. “Well done,” he said. His eyes were also filled with tears. Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn’t want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech. For much of my life, I described my father as a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously（明显地）not true. At my graduation ceremony. I could feel my father’s deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don’t perceive（感知）the world with our hearts and minds. There’s no doubt that life doesn’t lack（缺少）love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it. 29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The writer’s father was in the hospital during her operation. B．The writer’s father attended her high school graduation ceremony. C．The writer’s father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school.

A．That my father was always doing projects. B．That my father was a cold-blooded man. C．That my father sat in the corner of the hall. D．That my father’s eyes were filled with tears. 32．What’s the best title of the passage? A．My busy father B．Life is full of love C．Seeing is not believing D．A wonderful speech C Birds in cities stay awake longer, according to a new study. It found that birds in light-polluted areas are active for longer each day than those in the countryside, where there is less artificial (人工的) light. Light pollution is when there’s lots of artificial light from street lamps, buildings and cars. This brightens the natural darkness and can trick animals into thinking the day is longer than it really is. Scientists studied over four million bird calls from BirdWeather, a citizen-science project. People send birdsong recordings to it, and AI helps identify (识别) the sounds. BirdWeather then uses that information to study how birds behave and how their numbers change. Scientists also compared the information with light pollution data (数据) from satellite images. Researchers listened to birdsong in the mornings and evenings, when the birds were most active. They found that birds in towns or cities, which have lots of light pollution, sing for 50 minutes longer every day on average. They start about 20 minutes earlier in the morning and then continue for about 30 minutes more in the evening. Not all birds respond (反应) to artificial light the same way. Birds with larger eyes seemed more sensitive (敏 感) to it. American robins, Australian magpie-larks and European goldfinches stay active much longer than average. But small-eyed birds like sparrows showed less change. More study is needed on how birds are influenced. For example, Dr Brent Pease from Southern Illinois University said nobody knows yet if less sleep harms birds. He pointed out, “Birds have developed smart ways to deal with loss of sleep during migratory (迁徙) periods.” 33. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Street lamp. B. Light pollution. C. Longer daytime. D. Natural darkness. 34. To find out how light pollution influences birds’ activity, the scientists ________. A. collected birds’ sleep recordings B. counted birds with AI in different places C. watched how birds sing D. studied bird calls and light pollution data 35. What can we learn from Brent Pease’s words in the last paragraph? A. Further research is required. B. Light pollution does harm birds. C. Birds can’t solve loss of sleep. D. The university supports him a lot. 36. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Why birds are sensitive to light. B. Light pollution changes birds’ kinds. C. How AI helps study birds’ sounds. D. City lights keep birds singing longer. D Tu Youyou is a famous Chinese scientist. She is known for discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, a medicine that has saved millions of lives around the world. Tu Youyou was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province in 1930. She studied medicine at Peking University and later worked at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. In 1967, the Chinese government started a project to find a cure for malaria（疟疾）, a deadly disease that affects millions of people in tropical areas. Tu Youyou led the project team. At that time, there was little research on malaria in China. Tu Youyou and her team studied ancient Chinese medical books to find clues. They found a sentence in a book written by a Tang Dynasty doctor: “Soak artemisia （青蒿）in water and squeeze out the juice to treat fevers.” This gave them the idea to extract（提取）medicine from artemisia. The team worked day and night in a small lab. They tested more than 200 kinds of artemisia and made 380 extracts. Finally, in 1971, they found that artemisinin could kill the malaria parasite（寄生虫）. However, testing the medicine was dangerous. Tu Youyou volunteered to test it on herself first. “I wanted to make sure the medicine was safe,” she said. In 2015, Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery. She was the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize in science. She said, “The prize belongs to the whole team and to traditional Chinese medicine.” Today, Tu Youyou is 94 years old, but she still works on medical research. She hopes to develop more medicines to treat diseases and help more people. Her story tells us that hard work and persistence can lead to great achievements. 37. What is Tu Youyou famous for? A. Studying ancient Chinese medical books. B. Discovering artemisinin. C. Winning the first Nobel Prize in China. D. Working in a small lab. 38. Why did Tu Youyou volunteer to test the medicine on herself? A. To make sure the medicine was safe. B. To be the first to use the medicine. C. To get more money for the team. D. To win a prize. 39. When did Tu Youyou win the Nobel Prize? A. In 1930. B. In 1967. C. In 1971. D. In 2015. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Malaria B. Traditional Chinese Medicine C.
