Bedtime stories play an important role in your child's development.Not only do
bedtime stories create an opportunity to increase the closeness between parents and their
kids,but reading a little one at the same time night after night can help them form a
healthy sleep routine.Child psychologists also point to the cognitive()benefits for
young people who are raised with bedtime stories,including the higher-than-average ability
叩
to read and write and an emotional connection to reading.Let's look at some of the most
部
popular bedtime storybooks that are available in print.
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
Considered one of the greatest bedtime stories of all time,this classic has a lovely
narrative and lively illustrations()by Clement Hurd.Goodnight Moon celebrated the
70th anniversary of its original publication in 2017;a three dimensional version is also
available on You Tube.
恝
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
First published in 1969,this beloved tale features striking illustrations and finger-sized
cutouts(剪成的图样)that allow children to physically participate in the story.If your kids
enjoy this one,check out the other titles from author and illustrator Eric Carle;his 50-year
career includs a bibliography of more than 70 titles.
Guess How Much I Love You by Sam MccBratney and Anita Jeram
荞
This heartwarming tale explores the hond between Big Nutbrown Hare and his son,
Little Nutbrown Hare.The book-which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015-was
followed by four books.
The Cat in the Hat by Dr.Seuss
e
The Cat in the Hat spins a tale about a naughty cat that entertains a pair of children

While sleep patterns vary widely among animal classes and species,there are a few
general rules of thumb(经验法则).Sleep serves important evolutionary functions for all
animals,but sleep patterns and positions are based in large part on available food supply
and defense mechanisms.
Sleep patterns in animals have evolved over time-animals that sleep and get attacked
by predators()are less likely to pass on their genes,so animals have developed
ways to protect themselves during sleep.For instance,otters (sleep holding hands,
or cover themselves in seaweed to protect their young and stay afloat while asleep.
Likewise,cows and sheep sleep in a group-there is safety in numbers.
Evolutionary biologists consider that predation and fear of predators have influenced
the development of sleep patterns across species.Animals that eat meat tend to sleep more
than ammals that eat plants.Cathemeral(间歇性的)species like lions sleep in short spells
during both the day and night so as to enable them to seize food when it becomes available.
In general,animals sleep according to what they eat-animals that eat food with lower calories
sleep less than others.This may explain why plant eaters need to spend more time awake,to ensure
they get enough food and energy.For example,plant eaters like giraffes and elephants sleep 30
minutes to just a few hours per day respectively.However,there are exceptions to this rule,like the
koala.Their eucalyptus()-based diet doesn't give them much energy,but they sleep for almost
15 hours per day,and split the rest of their time eating and resting.
A note about the studies referenced in this article:Because most animal sleep studies
are performed using EEG tests,they are typically performed on animals in zoos and
research facilities.As a result,they may not accurately reflect their natural sleep habits in
the wild,given the stresses of a zoo environment and consistent availability of food.
24.Why do cows and sheep sleep in groups?
A.To protect themselves.
B.To pass on their genes.
C.To keep themselves warm.
D.To get physical closeness.
25.What does the underlined phrase "this rule"in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Animals eating plants have different sleep patterns.
B.Animals eating plants spend short time eating and resting.
C.Animals eating plants need less time to sleep than meat eaters.
D.Animals eating plants sleep 30 minutes to a few hours per day.
—26
26.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To explain the studies'dangers.
B.To point out the studies'limitations.
C.To describe the studies'detailed procedures.
D.To add the studies'background information.
27.What is the best title of the whole passage?
A.Sleep is good for animals'evolution.
B.Animals'sleep patterns have evolved over time.
C.Sleep patterns differ in animal classes and species.
D.Food and safety greatly affect animals'sleep patterns.

As PhD research goes,Brian Wisenden might be envied:watching baby fish
swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the Costa Rican tropical dry forest.By
recording their growth and numbers,he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten.
Instead,he witnessed something strange.Many groups were increasing in numbers,in
these groups,some were smaller than others,suggesting they weren't siblings
)Wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish,called convict cichlids,adopt each
other's babies.Why would they do that,he wondered?
In the human world,we think of adoption as a selfless act.But in nature,its presence
is puzzling.Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to
reduce an animal's chance of survival or at least provide no gain.Yet,adoption is
surprisingly common in the natural world.
Take the eastern grey kangaroo.Between 2008 and 2013,Wisenden followed the fates
of 326 baby kangaroos in the Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria and recorded
11 cases of pouch()swapping.The circumstances behind some of these adoptions
aren't known,but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother had
lost her own baby.How come?Before independence,baby kangaroos go through a period
inside and outside their mother's pouch.Following out-of-pouch attempts,mothers
normally sniff their young before allowing them back in,but Wisenden's team suspect that
during an emergency they may omit the sniff test,allowing a weak baby to quickly climb in
before fleeing from danger.
Some of nature's adoptions are,actually,driven by young.In burrower bugs(),
for example,females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs.Mother bugs tend
their developing eggs before they hatch,and then feed their babies nuts from weedy mint
plants.Finding nuts is a competitive business,so not every mother bug gets her fair share.
And if the delivery rate isn't up to standard,clever young may abandon their mothers to
join a better-fed group.
27
The consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be horrible.The true
babies of adopting mothers were abandoned.But it can have remarkable benefits,not just
for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.
28.What can we learn about Wiseden's research about baby fish?
A.It was beyond his expectations.
B.It put many rare species at risk.
C.It showed a genetic similarity in fish.
D.It found a new way to protect forests.
29.What does the underlined word "omit"mean in the passage?
A.Confirm.
B.Repeat.
C.Adopt.
D.Skip.
30.Why would some burrower bugs abandon their mothers?
A.To live in warmer nests.
B.To reproduce.
C.To seek for better parenting.
D.To adapt to competition earlier.
31.What may the author most probably talk about next?
A.The causes of accidental adoption.
B.The processes of accidental adoption.
C.The drawbacks of accidental adoption.
D.The advantages of accidental adoption.
D
A study examining the children of people evacuated (during the Second World
War showed the daughters of female evacuees were up to four times more likely to suffer
from serious mental health conditions compared to those whose parents stayed at home.
In the largest enquiry ever of its kind,researchers examined the health records of
3,000 children of Finnish people evacuated to Sweden during the 1941-1945 conflict with
Soviet Russia.The evacuees,many of whom were at a pre-school age,were placed with
foster families in Sweden and were forced to learn Swedish,later returning to Finland.The
study found that the female children of these girls had an increased risk of being
hospitalised for conditions such as depression.However,this was not the case with children
of boys evacuated during the war.
The study could could not determine why.One possibility is that the stresses of the
evacuees'experience affected their psychological development in ways that influenced their
parenting style.Another possibility is that the evacuees'experience resulted in epigenetic
changes-changes in the way genes are expressed.For example,the researchers mentioned an
earlier finding that Holocaust survivors have higher levels of methyl groups bound to the FKBP5
gene and have passed this change on to their children.This higher level of methyl groups appears
to change the production of cortisol,a hormone()that controls the stress response.
"The Finnish evacuation was intended to protect children from the harm associated
with the country's wars with the Soviet Union,said study co-author Dr Torsten
Santavirta,from Uppsala University.
“Our observation of the long-term psychiatric(精神病的)risk that reached into the
next generation is concerning and stresses the need to weigh benefits as well as potential
risks when designing policies for child protection.
—28
32.What can we infer about the new study?
A.It involved the most test subjects.
B.Its finding is relatively reliable
C.Its finding is contrary to an earlier one.
D.It was conducted right after World War II.
33.Which method does the author use to develop Paragraph 3?
A.By introducing a conclusion.
B.By conducting an experiment.
C.By making assumptions.
D.By supporting opinions.
34.How does Dr Santavirta find the Finnish evacuation?
A.It didn't fully fulfill its original purpose.
B.It resulted in wars with the Soviet Union.
C.It was first suggested by the Soviet Union.
D.It was a good example of child protection.
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Children's mental health is greatly influenced by wars.
B.Women's mental illness can be passed to the future generation.
C.Girls are more likely to suffer from mental problems than boys.
D.Mothers'childhood mental condition may affect their daughters.

No matter where you go,you'll notice something strange about trees-the fact that
their bottoms are painted white.Generally speaking,the purpose of whitewashing is to
protect trees from heat and insects.36.Let's check them out!
Blocking the sun
You might sometimes notice that some tree trunks'surfaces get dry and crack easily.
37.Simply put,they are exposed to the burning sun and the temperatures change
wildly between day and night.Fortunately,painting a tree's trunk white is similar to
adding sunscreen,which helps block the sun.
Heat protection
38
White paint reflects the heat and allows trees to spend more time on
transpiration(and growing their fruits.Additionally,when trees are cooler,they have less
stress,which makes their stomata(f)stay open a bit longer for the exchange of gases.
Defending against pests
More often than not,a tree's surface will crack,allowing insects to creep inside.
.39
Therefore,people whitewash trees using latex paint and water,which prevents insects
from climbing up trees and entering inside through the cracks.
40
Last but not least,the surface of trees is painted white to make them more visible,
specifically for those on the side of the road.Why is that important?Because accidents
involving trees are extremely common,especially during the night,when drivers can not
see them much more clearly.
29
A.Stopping accidents
B.Improving visibility
C.Whitewashing is a good way to solve the problem
D.The cause of this phenomenon has already been found
E.Whitewashing helps young trees remain cool in spring
F.However,there're many other reasons for whitewashing trees
G.Bacteria will feed on the tree's inner parts,eventually killing it

A long time ago,a Monk()set out on his travels accompanied by his assistant,a
Brother.Night was falling when the Monk told the Brother to go on ahead to find
accommodation.The Brother searched the deserted landscape until he found a shabby
cottage,in the middle of nowhere.A poor family lived in the cottage.The mother,father
and children were dressed in rags.The Brother asked if he and the Monk could spend the
night with them."You are most welcome to spend the night,"said the father of the family.
They prepared a simple meal consisting of fresh milk,cheese and cream for the Brother and
the Monk.The Brother felt moved by their poverty and even more by their simple
generosity.
When they finished eating,the Monk asked them how they managed to survive in such
a poor place,so far away from the nearest neighbors and town.The wife looked to her
husband to answer.In a resigned tone of voice he told them how they managed to survive.
"We have one cow.We sell her milk to our neighbors who do not live too far away.We
hold back enough for our needs and to make some cheese and cream-that is what we eat."
The next morning,the Brother and the Monk said their goodbyes and set out to
continue their journey.After they had walked a few miles,the Monk turned to the Brother
and said,“Go back and push the cow off the cliff(悬崖)!”“Father,”the Brother replied,
"they live off the cow.Without her,they will have nothing."The Monk repeated his order
“go back and kill the cow”.
With a heavy heart,the Brother returned to the small cottage.He worried about the future
of the family because he knew they depended on the cow to survive.His promise of obedience
bound him to follow the orders of the wise Monk.He pushed the cow off the cliff.

第四部分
一、应用文写作
Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm Li Hua,an 18-year-old senior high school
student.I'd like to join your voluntary
organisation to do something for the animals in
danger.
With the development of society,the number of
endangered animals is on the increase,some even
dying out.I think human activities,like illegal
hunting and occupying their habitats,are to blame for
the serious consequence.
If I become one of you,not only will I
regularly explain to the public the importance of
protecting animals,but also I will make efforts to
persuade people around me not to buy or eat
endangered animals.
I would appreciate it if you could take my
application into consideration.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
二、读后续写
Paragraph 1:
Then she noticed,to her much surprise,tears
rolling down from his eyes.and he began to cry
uncontrollably.Then,with tears,he went on to
tell Karen that the man that pulled her from the
flames was his own father he never knew.Karen
was so surprised that she couldn't believe it.It
was amazing that after twenty five years they met
each other again.The two then hugged and cried
that afternoon,retelling stories which were told
to them about their parents.What really drew
their attention were some other details unknown
to both of them until that moment.

Paragraph 2:
According to the article,Aaron's father and
Karen's mother were both on a task of helping
the needy families in the area.So surprised and
moved were the young couple that their eyes
welled up with tears.Karen told Aaron how
thankful she was to the man who saved her life.
Holding the hand of Karen,Aaron expressed his
respect to Karen's mother.Then they made a
decision.In honor of their parents and the desire

很大。幸运的是,把树干涂成白色就像涂防晒
霜一样,有助于阻挡阳光)”可知,后文主要分
析了树千开裂的原因。故D选项“这种现象的
原因已经找到了”符合语境,故选D。]
38.E[根据后文“White paint reflects the heat
and allows trees to spend more time on
transpiration(蒸腾)and growing their fruits..
Additionally,when trees are cooler,they have
less stress,which makes their stomata(气孔)
stay open a bit longer for the exchange of
gases..(白色的油漆可以反射热量,让树木有
更多的时间蒸腾和生长果实。此外,当树木温
度较低时,它们的压力较小,这使得它们的气
孔保持开放的时间更长,以便进行气体交换)”
可知,后文提到白色的油漆可以反射热量,让
树木有更多的时间蒸腾和生长果实,即可以让
树木保持凉爽。故E选项“刷白可以帮助小树
在春天保持凉爽”符合语境,故选E。]
39.G[根据上文“More often than not,a tree's
surface will crack,allowing insects to creep
inside.(通常情况下,树的表面会裂开,让昆虫
爬进去)”以及后文“Therefore,people
whitewash trees using latex paint and water,
which prevents insects from climbing up trees
and entering inside through the cracks.
此,人们用乳胶漆和水粉刷树木,防止昆虫爬
上树,从裂缝进入内部)”可知,本句是在说明
昆虫爬进去的后果:细菌会以树的内部为食,
最终杀死树。故G选项“细菌会以树的内部为
食,最终杀死树”符合语境,故选G。]
40.B[根据本段内容“Last but not least,the
surface of trees is painted white to make them
more visible,specifically for those on the side
of the road.Why is that important?Because
accidents involving trees are extremely common,
especially during the night,when drivers can
not see them much more clearly..(最后但并非
最不重要的是,树的表面被涂成白色,使它们
更明显,特别是对那些在路边的人来说。为什
么这很重要?因为涉及树木的交通事故非常
常见,尤其是在夜间,因为司机看不清树木)”
可知,本段的主旨是树木粉刷成白色可以提高
司机的能见度。故B选项“提高能见度”符合
语境,故选B。]

下来。

One day,the Brother,who had become a
Monk,found himself on the same road where he
found accommodation years ago.Driven by a
sense of regret he decided to visit the family.To
his surprise,where the cottage used to be,he saw
a splendid house.The Monk knocked on the door
and it was answered by a well-dressed man.The
Monk told him he had stayed in a cottage on the
same spot with his master."What happened to
the family that lived here?Did they sell the
property to you?"he asked.
Paragraph 2:
“We have always lived here,”the man
answered and then invited the Monk into their
Splendid house.While they ate,the host explained
how the family's fortune changed."We used to
live off a cow.She kept us alive.We didn't own
anything else.One day the cow fell down the cliff
and died.To survive,we started doing other
things and thus developed our potential skills.It
was the best thing that ever happened to us!We
are now much better off than before."
