If you’re interested in it, you are welcome to the activity recommended by Denise Herzing! About Denise Herzing Denise Herzing of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is the organiser and research director of the Wild Dolphin Project, which has a goal of understanding dolphins’ social system, behaviour, and communication. For over thirty years, she has spent each summer watching Atlantic dolphins carefully in the Bahamas. Activity Guide: Purpose: Dolphins use sound to communicate, but they can’t make sounds in the way we humans make. Out of the water dolphins can make different sounds by changing the shape of their blowhole (呼吸孔), which is similar to changing the shape of our own mouths. Underwater, though, they use a totally different system, and they make sounds without letting any air out. You can learn more about how that works here. In this activity we’re going to try to talk like a dolphin. Materials: Nothing! But find a partner, maybe a brother or sister or a parent — or if you have one, a dog or cat. After all, this activity is about communication between humans and animals. How To Do It: Take a deep breath, hold your nose to keep it shut, and try to communicate with your partner. If your partner is a pet, try saying its name or asking it to “come here”. When you’re done, think about what made it hard, what solutions you found, and think why dolphins may have developed to communicate in this way. Then listen to sounds from all kinds of sea animals and compare your dolphin sound to theirs. 1. What can we learn about Denise Herzing? A. She holds the activity in FAU. B. She is an expert in dolphins. C. She wants to find a partner for her research. D. She fell in love with dolphins when young. 2. What would you have to do for the activity? A. Have a pet next to you. B. Keep breathing deeply. C. Talk with your nose closed. D. Compare dolphins with other animals. 3. Where can the text be found? A. In a diary. B. In a report. C. In a travel brochure. D. In an activity book 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要推荐人们参加Denise Herzing推荐的关于海豚的活动。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据About Denise Herzing部分的“Denise Herzing of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is the organiser and research director of the Wild Dolphin Project, which has a goal of understanding dolphins’ social system, behaviour, and communication. For over thirty years, she has spent each summer watching Atlantic dolphins carefully in the Bahamas.（佛罗里达大西洋大学(FAU)的Denise Herzing是野生海豚项目的组织者和研究主任，该项目的目标是了解海豚的社会系统、行为和交流。三十多年来，她每年夏天都在巴哈马群岛仔细观察大西洋海豚）”可推知，Denise Herzing是海豚方面的专家。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据How To Do It部分的“Take a deep breath, hold your nose to keep it shut, and try to communicate with your partner.（深呼吸，捂住你的鼻子，试着和你的伴侣交流）”可知，在这个活动中，你说话时要闭上鼻子。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“We know that dolphins make unique sounds, but is that a language? If you’re interested in it, you are welcome to the activity recommended by Denise Herzing!（我们知道海豚会发出独特的声音，但那是一种语言吗?如果你对此感兴趣，欢迎参加Denise Herzing推荐的活动!）”可知，文章推荐读者参加一个关于海豚的活动，可能出自一本活动书籍。故选D。 B In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project. “I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said. My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. For a while, I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. “I’m the only person she talked to today.” It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were lifelines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty. 4. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors? A. To care about their life. B. To make them feel less lonely. C. To know what they eat for dinner. D. To teach them how to make desserts. 5. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. They will be tired of listening to others. B. They will blame others’ wrong doings. C. They will talk all the time on the phone. D. They will make you feel really satisfied. 6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author started to telephone seniors as her mother. B. The author realized the value of her mother’s efforts. C. The author’s mother preferred to live alone. D. The author’s mother remained connected to the world. 7. What is the suitable title for the passage? A. Call your parents often B. Mother’s evenings C. Mother’s new project D. Nightly calls, lifeline calls 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者母亲年轻时每晚给独居老人打电话陪伴他们，作者多年后才理解母亲的行为，意识到陪伴与倾听对孤独者而言是重要的精神纽带。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. “I’m the only person she talked to today.”(妈妈握住我的一只手，轻轻捏了一下。“我是她今天唯一说过话的人。”)”可知，母亲给老人打电话是为了陪伴他们，让他们不那么孤独。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第二段划线句后文“Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath(有些人甚至都不停下来喘口气)”可知，划线句“They will talk your ear off”意思是他们会在电话里一直说话。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“I realize that my mother’s calls were lifelines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world.(我意识到母亲的电话是生命线，让足不出户的老人与世界保持联系。)”可知，作者意识到了母亲所做努力的价值。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段““I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. (“我要给老年人打电话，”妈妈说。)”及最后一段“I realize that my mother’s calls were lifelines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world.(我意识到母亲的电话是生命线，让足不出户的老人与世界保持联系。)”可知，文章围绕母亲每晚给老人打电话这一行为展开，讲述这份陪伴的意义。D项“夜间通话，生命线通话”可概括主旨。故选D。 C Sun Rui, a mother in Beijing, changed some of her plans for her 8-year-old son’s summer vacation. She had looked for an out-of-school English course, but in the end, she changed it to a swimming training class. “It is because of the strict rules on subject-tutoring classes out of schools, many parents like me choose sports or other classes for developing interests instead,” Sun said. Sun’s choice is part of the result of the government’s growing efforts to reduce the academic pressure on young students. On July 24, Chinese government introduced the rules in order to reduce the burden of homework and after-class tutoring for primary and junior high school students. It lists requirements in areas such as reducing the amount and the difficulty of homework and after-class services provided by schools. For example, homework for primary children below the third grade is not allowed, while homework for junior high school students should take no longer than 90 minutes to finish. Out-of-school classes cannot teach students knowledge that is ahead of the school curriculum. No subject lessons can be given on weekends, national holidays or during winter and summer vacations. According to Global Times, more than 75 percent of Chinese children in cities, from grade l to grade 12, take part in out-of-school subject classes. This has led to many social problems such as students’ falling levels of physical fitness, more mental health problems and huge family costs, said Chu Zhaohui, senior researcher with the National Institute of Education Sciences. Many parents showed their support for the new moves. “Subject leaning is enough at school and we hope the children’s life can be more relaxing during holidays”, a parent in Guangzhou told Xinhua. However, there are also some parents who have new fears. A parent in Shanxi said that although she agreed with the new rules, she was worried that both she and her husband had no time to be with her son 8. The reason why Sun Rui let her son sign up for a swimming class instead of an English course is that ______. A. many parents chose classes for developing interests B. the government made rules on out-of-school subject classes. C. the government made an effort to advocate subject-tutoring classes. D. she wanted to reduce the academic pressure on her son. 9. According to the rules introduced on July 24, ______. A. primary students in grade one and grade two have no homework after school. B. junior high school students should do their homework for more than 90 minutes. C. out-of-school classes can’t teach any knowledge in school textbooks. D. during summer vacations, junior students can have subject classes outside schools. 10. In Chu Zhao’s opinion, taking part in out-of-school subject classes can ______. A. help children stay fit. B. have a positive effect on children’s mental health. C. increase some families’ extra spending. D. help children lean better at school. 11. What are parents’ reaction to the new rules? A. Some parents feel anxious about their children’s study at school. B. They want their children to take part in more out-of-school classes. C. They all think it is hard for them to accept the rules right now. D. Some parents worry that they have no time to keep their children company after school. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍“双减”政策落地的原因、政策规定及家长反应。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘It is because of the strict rules on subject-tutoring classes out of schools, many parents like me choose sports or other classes for developing interests instead,’ Sun said.(“这是因为对校外课外辅导班的严格规定，许多像我一样的家长选择体育或其他课程来发展兴趣，”孙说)”可知，该家长为孩子放弃英语培训班改报游泳班的原因是国家的“双减”政策， 政府制定了关于校外科目课程的规定。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“For example, homework for primary children below the third grade is not allowed, while homework for junior high school students should take no longer than 90 minutes to finish.(例如，小学三年级以下的孩子是不允许做作业的，而初中学生的作业应该不超过90分钟)”可知，根据7月24日出台的规定，小学一年级和二年级的学生放学后没有家庭作业。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“This has led to many social problems such as students’ falling levels of physical fitness, more mental health problems and huge family costs, said Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher with the National Institute of Education Sciences.(国家教育科学研究院高级研究员储朝晖表示，这导致了许多社会问题，比如学生身体健康水平下降，更多的心理健康问题，以及巨大的家庭成本)”可知，在储朝晖看来，参加校外课程会增加一些家庭的额外支出。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, there are also some parents who have new fears. A parent in Shanxi said that although she agreed with the new rules, she was worried that both she and her husband had no time to be with her son.(然而，也有一些家长有新的担忧。山西一位家长表示，尽管她同意新规定，但她担心自己和丈夫都没有时间陪儿子)”可知，一些父母有新的担忧，因为他们没有时间在孩子放学后陪伴他们。故选D。 D It is quite clear to me, based on my research, that tropical (热带的) insects rather than polar bears could be among the first species to become extinct as a result of global warming. Insects in the tropics are already living at the limit of their temperature range and any further increases could quickly kill them off. This would be a major disaster for tropical habitats, which rely on insects for everything from pollination (授粉) to waste disposal (处理). We have found that a rise in average temperatures in the tropics of just 1℃ or 2℃ could be enough to bring about a significant and harmful effect on the survival of a wide variety of important insects. Fitness levels most likely decline quickly and there may not be much we can do about it. Many tropical species can only accept a narrow range of temperatures because the climate they experience is pretty steady throughout the year. Now our study shows that they will be harmed by rising temperatures more than species in cold climates. Unfortunately, the tropics also hold the large majority of species on the planet. We used daily and monthly global temperatures from the 50-year period between 1950 and 2000 and compared them against data showing the “fitness levels” of different species. “Fitness” was determined by indicators such as population growth rates and physical performance for different creatures. We found that even moving into the shade did not help the insects. The direct effects of climate change on the organisms (生物体) we studied appear to depend a lot more on the organisms’ flexibility than on the amount of warming in the area where they lived. As well as the danger for insects, the research confirms that there will be other consequences of global warming that could also have a serious impact on tropical regions, particularly on food crops. Our research focused only on the impact of changes in temperature, but warming also will change rainfall patterns. These changes could be more important for many tropical organisms, such as plants, but they are harder to predict. 12. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Global warming. B. Living in the tropics. C. Killing polar bears off. D. Insects becoming extinct. 13. Why are tropical species more likely harmed by climate change? A. The fitness of crops they feed on is declining. B. They can hardly stand up to temperature changes. C. Their living environment has been greatly damaged. D. The amount of warming is not steady in the tropics. 14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The significance of the research. B. The challenge facing the researchers. C. Predictions about the impacts of global warming. D. Suggestions on how to preserve tropical regions. 15. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To solve a problem. B. To give practical advice. C. To report a coming event. D. To present a research result. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，全球变暖会导致热带昆虫的灭绝。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。由第二段中的“Insects in the tropics are already living at the limit of their temperature range and any further increases could quickly kill them off. This would be a major disaster for tropical habitats, which rely on insects for everything from pollination (授粉) to waste disposal (处理). (热带地区的昆虫已经生活在其温度范围的极限，任何进一步的温度升高都可能很快杀死它们。This将是热带栖息地的一场重大灾难，从授粉到废物处理，热带栖息地的一切都依赖昆虫)”可知，热带栖息地的维护有赖于热带昆虫，可得出热带昆虫的灭绝是热带栖息地的一场重大灾难，This指代“Insects becoming extinct (热带昆虫灭绝)”。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“We have found that a rise in average temperatures in the tropics of just 1℃ or 2℃ could be enough to bring about a significant and harmful effect on the survival of a wide variety of important insects. (我们发现，热带地区平均气温仅上升1℃或2℃就足以对多种重要昆虫的生存产生重大而有害的影响)”和第三段中的“Many tropical species can only accept a narrow range of temperatures because the climate they experience is pretty steady throughout the year. (许多热带物种只能接受很窄的温度范围，因为它们经历的气候全年都相当稳定)”可知，许多热带物种只能接受很窄的温度范围，温度仅上升1℃或2℃就可能带来巨大灾难，说明热带物种几乎经不起温度的变化。故选B项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。由最后一段“As well as the danger for insects, the research confirms that there will be other consequences of global warming that could also have a serious impact on tropical regions, particularly on food crops. Our research focused only on the impact of changes in temperature, but warming also will change rainfall patterns. These changes could be more important for many tropical organisms, such as plants, but they are harder to predict. (这项研究证实，除了对昆虫的危险外，全球变暖还会带来其他后果，也可能对热带地区，尤其是粮食作物产生严重影响。我们的研究只关注温度变化的影响，但变暖也会改变降雨模式。这些变化对许多热带生物来说可能更重要，比如植物，但它们更难预测)”可知，最后一段不仅说了全球变暖对热带昆虫的不利影响，还表明全球变暖会影响到热带地区的植物（但很难预测），段落大意对应C项“关于全球变暖影响的预测”。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“It is quite clear to me, based on my research, that tropical (热带的) insects rather than polar bears could be among the first species to become extinct as a result of global warming. (根据我的研究，我很清楚，由于全球变暖，热带昆虫而不是北极熊可能是首批灭绝的物种)”，第二段中的“We have found that a rise in average temperatures in the tropics of just 1℃ or 2℃ could be enough to bring about a significant and harmful effect on the survival of a wide variety of important insects. (我们发现，热带地区平均气温仅上升1℃或2℃就足以对多种重要昆虫的生存产生重大而有害的影响)”，第三段中的“Now our study shows that they will be harmed by rising temperatures more than species in cold climates. (现在，我们的研究表明，与寒冷气候下的物种相比，气温上升对它们的危害更大)”，第四段中的“We used daily and monthly global temperatures from the 50-year period between 1950 and 2000 and compared them against data showing the “fitness levels” of different species. (我们使用了1950年至2000年50年期间的每日和每月全球温度，并将其与显示不同物种“健康水平”的数据进行了比较)”，第五段中的“We found that even moving into the shade did not help the insects. (我们发现，即使移入阴凉处也无助于昆虫)”和最后一段中的“As well as the danger for insects, the research confirms that there will be other consequences of global warming that could also have a serious impact on tropical regions, particularly on food crops. (这项研究证实，除了对昆虫的危险外，全球变暖还会带来其他后果，也可能对热带地区，尤其是粮食作物产生严重影响)”可知，文章介绍了全球变暖对热带昆虫影响的研究结果（即热带昆虫灭绝），本文在展示研究结果。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，共12. 5) I was lucky to serve as an RA（宿舍协管员）for two years at Manhattanville College, which has students from more than 50 countries. I talked with a lot of students who had trouble living in a dorm room. ___16___ ● Make your room as YOU as possible.___17___ It’s your HOME. Show your style. Put up the posters your mom never let you put up at home. Do whatever you can to make your room a comfortable place so you’ll feel right at home. ● A clean room is a happy room. Cleanliness is important whether you share a room with one person or seven. ___18___Thus, your room will be always clean. ● Snack time is the best time. Some colleges have dining 24 hours a day, while others offer no food after midnight. Have snacks on hand because you’ll get hungry during those late-night homework adventures. Try healthy snacks such as fruit and yogurt. ___19___And remember the Freshman 15 doesn’t apply only to freshman. ●___20___The key to getting along well with others is communication. If there’s a problem, ALWAYS talk it out with your roommate first. If you still have problems after talking, turn to your RA for help. A. Be open to differences. B. Don’t shout. Talk it out! C. Here are some survival tips I want to share. D. It’s unfair for only one to clean up all the time. E. But watch out for Freshman 15—gaining 15 pounds! F. Make a schedule that can be followed by everyone. G. Your dorm room isn’t just where you sleep or study. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. F 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【分析】本文主要针对如何适应宿舍生活这一话题，作者给出了一些意见。包括装扮自己的寝室，保证寝室清洁，多和室友沟通等等。 【16题详解】 根据前文I talked with a lot of students who had trouble living in a dorm room.可知，作者当了两年的宿舍协管员，遇到过许多国家的学生，对于如何适应寝室生活非常有经验。后文都是告诉读者怎样去适应寝室生活，所以C选项Here are some survival tips I want to share.（下面是一些我想和大家分享的一些生存技巧）符合语境，能很好地承上启下，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据语境It’s your HOME.可知，作者建议读者尽可能地使自己的空间个性化，因为那是自己的家。G选项Your dorm room isn’t just where you sleep or study.表示“你的寝室不只是你睡觉或学习的地方”，和后文“它是你的家”紧密联系。故选G。 【18题详解】 分析语境Cleanliness is important whether you share a room with one person or seven. _3_ Thus, your room will be always clean.可知，作者认为不管你是一个人住还是和另一个人或者另外七个人合住，清洁都很重要。F选项Make a schedule that can be followed by everyone.表示“制定一个计划表，每个人都要遵守”，指的是制定清洁寝室的计划表，所有人一起保证寝室的卫生。这样的话，寝室就能一直保持清洁了。故选F。 【19题详解】 分析语境Try healthy snacks such as fruit and yogurt. __4__And remember the Freshman 15 doesn’t apply only to freshman.可知，作者鼓励大学生在寝室准备一些健康的零食。根据后文的the Freshman 15 doesn’t apply only to freshman.可知，Freshman 15并不仅限于新生，暗示其他年级的学生也会发生这种情况。E选项But watch out for Freshman 15—gaining 15 pounds!表示“但是要小心Freshman 15，也就是长胖15磅！”结合前后文可知，作者要表达的是：准备零食是必要的，但是要注意健康，Freshman 15可不仅限于新生。各个年级的学生都有可能长胖！故选E。 【20题详解】 根据划线处后文中的The key to getting along well with others is communication.可知，作者在这一段建议读者多和室友沟通。浏览选项发现B选项 Don’t shout. Talk it out!（不要喊叫，说出来！）符合语境，表示在遇到问题时，不要对别人喊叫，理智地表达出来会更好。故选B。 【名师点睛】 语法填空中要注意文章中连词的含义，例如however表示转折，so表示结果，because表示原因等等。以本道题中的第三小题为例，Cleanliness is important whether you share a room with one person or seven. ___3___Thus, your room will be always clean. 这里作者的意思是无论学生们是和几个人一起住，寝室卫生清洁是很重要的。在这里考生们注意到划线处后面有一个thus. Thus表示“于是，因此；如此，这样”，那么说明划线处给出了一个保持寝室清洁的办法。浏览各个选项发现只有F选项Make a schedule that can be followed by everyone.是给出了一个关于打扫卫生的建议。这样考生就能很容易选出正确答案F了。 第三部分:完形填空(共20小题:每小题1分，满分15) Two years ago we were at a turning point in our lives in New Zealand so we decided to start an adventure.

When ________ (propose) a plan, we should include things such as start and end dates, objectives and goals. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】proposing 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意：在提出计划时，我们应该包括开始和结束日期、目标和目的等内容。when引导的时间状语从句，主语是we，完整的从句是when we are proposing，当状语从句的主语和主句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，只保留分词，因此空格处是proposing。故填proposing。 49.

If you’re interested in it, you are welcome to the activity recommended by Denise Herzing! About Denise Herzing Denise Herzing of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is the organiser and research director of the Wild Dolphin Project, which has a goal of understanding dolphins’ social system, behaviour, and communication. For over thirty years, she has spent each summer watching Atlantic dolphins carefully in the Bahamas. Activity Guide: Purpose: Dolphins use sound to communicate, but they can’t make sounds in the way we humans make. Out of the water dolphins can make different sounds by changing the shape of their blowhole (呼吸孔), which is similar to changing the shape of our own mouths. Underwater, though, they use a totally different system, and they make sounds without letting any air out. You can learn more about how that works here. In this activity we’re going to try to talk like a dolphin. Materials: Nothing! But find a partner, maybe a brother or sister or a parent — or if you have one, a dog or cat. After all, this activity is about communication between humans and animals. How To Do It: Take a deep breath, hold your nose to keep it shut, and try to communicate with your partner. If your partner is a pet, try saying its name or asking it to “come here”. When you’re done, think about what made it hard, what solutions you found, and think why dolphins may have developed to communicate in this way. Then listen to sounds from all kinds of sea animals and compare your dolphin sound to theirs. 1. What can we learn about Denise Herzing? A. She holds the activity in FAU. B. She is an expert in dolphins. C. She wants to find a partner for her research. D. She fell in love with dolphins when young. 2. What would you have to do for the activity? A. Have a pet next to you. B. Keep breathing deeply. C. Talk with your nose closed. D. Compare dolphins with other animals. 3. Where can the text be found? A. In a diary. B. In a report. C. In a travel brochure. D. In an activity book B In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project. “I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said. My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. For a while, I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. “I’m the only person she talked to today.” It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were lifelines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty. 4. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors? A. To care about their life. B. To make them feel less lonely. C. To know what they eat for dinner. D. To teach them how to make desserts. 5. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. They will be tired of listening to others. B. They will blame others’ wrong doings. C. They will talk all the time on the phone. D. They will make you feel really satisfied. 6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author started to telephone seniors as her mother. B. The author realized the value of her mother’s efforts. C. The author’s mother preferred to live alone. D. The author’s mother remained connected to the world. 7. What is the suitable title for the passage? A. Call your parents often B. Mother’s evenings C. Mother’s new project D. Nightly calls, lifeline calls C Sun Rui, a mother in Beijing, changed some of her plans for her 8-year-old son’s summer vacation. She had looked for an out-of-school English course, but in the end, she changed it to a swimming training class. “It is because of the strict rules on subject-tutoring classes out of schools, many parents like me choose sports or other classes for developing interests instead,” Sun said. Sun’s choice is part of the result of the government’s growing efforts to reduce the academic pressure on young students. On July 24, Chinese government introduced the rules in order to reduce the burden of homework and after-class tutoring for primary and junior high school students. It lists requirements in areas such as reducing the amount and the difficulty of homework and after-class services provided by schools. For example, homework for primary children below the third grade is not allowed, while homework for junior high school students should take no longer than 90 minutes to finish. Out-of-school classes cannot teach students knowledge that is ahead of the school curriculum. No subject lessons can be given on weekends, national holidays or during winter and summer vacations. According to Global Times, more than 75 percent of Chinese children in cities, from grade l to grade 12, take part in out-of-school subject classes. This has led to many social problems such as students’ falling levels of physical fitness, more mental health problems and huge family costs, said Chu Zhaohui, senior researcher with the National Institute of Education Sciences. Many parents showed their support for the new moves. “Subject leaning is enough at school and we hope the children’s life can be more relaxing during holidays”, a parent in Guangzhou told Xinhua. However, there are also some parents who have new fears.

D It is quite clear to me, based on my research, that tropical (热带的) insects rather than polar bears could be among the first species to become extinct as a result of global warming. Insects in the tropics are already living at the limit of their temperature range and any further increases could quickly kill them off. This would be a major disaster for tropical habitats, which rely on insects for everything from pollination (授粉) to waste disposal (处理). We have found that a rise in average temperatures in the tropics of just 1℃ or 2℃ could be enough to bring about a significant and harmful effect on the survival of a wide variety of important insects. Fitness levels most likely decline quickly and there may not be much we can do about it. Many tropical species can only accept a narrow range of temperatures because the climate they experience is pretty steady throughout the year. Now our study shows that they will be harmed by rising temperatures more than species in cold climates. Unfortunately, the tropics also hold the large majority of species on the planet. We used daily and monthly global temperatures from the 50-year period between 1950 and 2000 and compared them against data showing the “fitness levels” of different species. “Fitness” was determined by indicators such as population growth rates and physical performance for different creatures. We found that even moving into the shade did not help the insects. The direct effects of climate change on the organisms (生物体) we studied appear to depend a lot more on the organisms’ flexibility than on the amount of warming in the area where they lived. As well as the danger for insects, the research confirms that there will be other consequences of global warming that could also have a serious impact on tropical regions, particularly on food crops. Our research focused only on the impact of changes in temperature, but warming also will change rainfall patterns. These changes could be more important for many tropical organisms, such as plants, but they are harder to predict. 12. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Global warming. B. Living in the tropics. C. Killing polar bears off. D. Insects becoming extinct. 13. Why are tropical species more likely harmed by climate change? A. The fitness of crops they feed on is declining. B. They can hardly stand up to temperature changes. C. Their living environment has been greatly damaged. D. The amount of warming is not steady in the tropics. 14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The significance of the research. B. The challenge facing the researchers. C. Predictions about the impacts of global warming. D. Suggestions on how to preserve tropical regions. 15. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To solve a problem. B. To give practical advice. C. To report a coming event. D. To present a research result. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，共12. 5) I was lucky to serve as an RA（宿舍协管员）for two years at Manhattanville College, which has students from more than 50 countries.
