They were police officers who knew that there was a pirate ship in the bay. I told them my story. Later I went back to the inn with one of the officers. Everything was broken, and the captain’s money and some silver from the inn were missing. “They took the money,” said the officer. “But what did they really want?” “I think they wanted these papers in my pocket,” I answered. “I want to take them to Dr. Livesey.” “Good idea,” he answered. “Dr. Livesey is a judge. I will take you to him now, because I need to tell him what happened.” So I mounted the horse behind one of the officers and we rode to Dr. Livesey’s house. Dr. Livesey was not at home. He was dining with Squire Trelawney, so we rode on to the hall,where the squire lived. The two men were sitting in a great library next to a bright fire. The officer told the story. The two men listened with surprise and interest. The officer then left. I gave the papers to the doctor and they asked me to stay and eat something after my adventures. “Have you heard of Flint?” Dr. Livesey asked the squire. “Yes, I have!” the squire replied. “He was one of the most dangerous pirates that ever sailed on the sea. He only cared about money and everyone was afraid of him. No one knows where he hid his treasure.” “Maybe these papers give an answer,” said the doctor. And we opened the captain’s papers. Inside there was a detailed map. It showed an island, about nine miles long and five across. It had two good natural harbours and a hill in the centre, marked Spy-glass Hill. There were three crosses in red, two in the northern part and one in the south-west. Beside the last cross were the words: Most of the treasure here. ——文章节选自《金银岛》(Treasure Island) 11.

B Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes created something that would change the shipment industry and make e-commerce stores possible: bubble wrap (气泡膜包装). It has been used by companies and people around the world for packing ever since. The little air bubbles that make up a section of bubble wrap were, in fact, invented by chance. When the men fed two plastic shower curtains through a heat-sealing machine, they were trying to create a type of wallpaper. They failed, but they didn’t give up. They thought of more than 400 different uses for their soft, air-filled material, but none brought them much success. Then, in 1960, IBM saw how useful bubble wrap could be for protecting its new, very expensive computers during shipment. A deal was made. By the mid-1960s, Fielding and Chavannes’s packing material had become a shipment must, which today protects millions of packages a year from damage. For a lot of people, one of the best things about receiving a package is playing with the bubble wrap that comes with it. What is it that makes bubble wrap so popular? Scientists have been looking into this for years and have some ideas. Some think that people are relaxed by touching things. So the smooth surface and bubbles are perfect for keeping our hands busy. In this way, people feel comfortable. Other scientists think that small actions, such as finger or foot shaking, are a kind of exercise. It helps us to relieve stress by relaxing muscles. It might be the reason why popping bubble wrap is relaxing and satisfying. Whatever the reason is, this packing material has become necessary for our daily lives, and there are no signs that it will change anytime soon. 16. What did the two men try to create at first? A. Some e-commerce stores. B. Wallpaper. C. The shipment industry. D. Computer games. 17. What was bubble wrap used for by IBM? A. Beautifying walls. B. Protecting computers. C. Covering farm fields. D. Protecting the environment. 18. Why is bubble wrap so popular according to Paragraph 5? A. Because people feel relaxed by touching little air bubbles. B. Because it costs little to package goods with little air bubbles. C. Because breaking bubbles makes our mind healthy. D. Because little air bubbles keep goods staying away from damage. 19. What do other scientists think of bubble wrap according to the last paragraph? A. It is very expensive. B. It is changeable. C. It can be used for exercising. D. It can be used for covering things. 20. What is the best title for the passage? A. The world’s most popular sport B. A kind of popular packaging C. The world’s most beautiful wallpaper D. The world’s biggest e-commerce store C Most scientists say animals never feel happy or sad. In fact, they say animals probably don't feel love, anger, hate or other emotions either. A scientist named Joseph E. LeDoux studied mice to find out whether animals have emotions. He found that mice have at least one emotion — fear. He also found the part of the brain that seems to control fear in mice. In humans, that part of the brain also controls fear, and some other emotions. A number of scientists say animals have emotions. Some scientists who have studied animals such as dogs, cats, elephants and lions say those animals have emotions. A scientist named Joyce Poole studies elephants. She has written that pachyderms often show sadness when a relative dies. She says elephants have “deep emotions”. Jane Goodall studies chimpanzees (黑猩猩). She says she has seen them playing and running after one another for fun. Goodall also says they feel sad sometimes. For example, an old chimpanzee died, and one of her sons, Flint, refused to eat food. Flint's brothers and sisters tried to get him to eat, but they failed. Three weeks later, Flint died. Goodall says Flint died of “sadness”. Scientist Marc Bekoff watched an elk (驼鹿) run back and forth through the snow. Bekoff said it was feeling the “joy of life”. He said he couldn’t prove that animals have feelings, because animals can’t talk. But he said animals can communicate feelings in other ways. “I can’t prove that an animal is feeling happy or sad, but I can guess how it is feeling through body language and facial expressions,” he said. 21. Which of the following emotions can a mouse feel according to the passage? A. Anger. B. Love. C. Fear. D. Happiness. 22. The underlined word “pachyderms” may refer to “________”. A. lions B. elephants C. chimpanzees D. cats 23. Marc Bekoff believed animals have feelings because he saw ________. A. a chimpanzee died of sadness B. a mouse that was afraid C. an elephant that felt sad about a dead relative D. an elk run back and forth through the snow 24. According to the passage, how do scientists find out whether or not animals have feelings? A. By writing about how animals feel. B. By asking animals directly how they feel. C. By watching the body language and facial expressions of animals. D. By watching how much animals eat at different times during a day. 25. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Joyce Poole’s studies on how elephants feel. B. Scientists who are arguing over some animals. C. Jane Goodall’s work with chimpanzees. D. Scientists’ ideas about whether or not animals have feelings. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分) 请阅读下面全文，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，并将其标号填入题前的括号内。 Earth Hour is an annual event which asks people to switch off all lights and use no electricity for an hour. ____26____ What is Earth Hour Earth Hour is an annual global event that encourages people and businesses around the world to switch off electricity at the same time for one hour.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述Jed不顾危险，营救掉进冰河里的Matt的故事，赞扬Jed勇敢救人的可贵品质。 【1题详解】 句意：Jed面露难色。“天开始结冰了，”Jed说，“我觉得这不安全。” 根据上文“It was the first really cold day of winter.”以及后文冰面裂开遇险的情节，可知从冰上横穿河流并不安全。safe“安全的”，符合语境；exciting“令人兴奋的”，dangerous“危险的”，boring“无聊的”，均不符合题意。 【2题详解】 句意：“如果你想一路走到桥那里，那就继续，我打算从这儿过河。”然后他朝着河边跑去。 根据前后句，Matt不愿意绕路走桥，打算直接过河。go ahead“继续，去吧”，符合语境；write down“写下”，take care“小心”，give up“放弃”，均不符合题意。 【3题详解】 句意：现在Matt来到河中央，“杰德，你还在害怕吗？”他大笑着问道。 根据前文Jed提醒冰面危险的情节可知，本空需要填写形容词，Matt借此调侃Jed是否还存有畏惧心理。afraid“害怕的”，符合语境；tired“疲惫的”，amazed“惊奇的”，shocked“震惊的”，均不符合题意。 【4题详解】 句意：“看！冰多厚啊！”Matt跳上跳下好几次想要证明自己的观点。 根据Matt跳上去证明冰结实，是想说冰层很厚。thick“厚的”，符合语境；big“大的”，thin“薄的”，soft“柔软的”，均不符合题意。 【5题详解】 句意：一声巨响响彻空中。Matt向下看。四面八方冰层开始破裂。 根据听到冰裂开的巨响，Matt低头查看脚下冰面。looked down“向下看”，符合语境；looked out“小心”，looked for“寻找”，looked up“抬头看”，均不符合题意。 【6题详解】 句意：Jed感受冰面，小心翼翼地查看自己周边的环境。 根据情况危急，上冰面救人需要格外小心。carefully“小心地”，符合语境；happily“开心地”，directly“直接地”，regularly“定期地”，均不符合题意。 【7题详解】 句意：用脚作为支撑，他慢慢朝着冰洞的方向挪动。 本处主语为he，指代Jed，动作的对象指向自己，需要反身代词himself。himself“他自己”，符合语境；him“他（宾格）”，themselves“他们自己”，them“他们”，均不符合题意。 【8题详解】 句意：一点一点地，Jed把Matt从水里拽出来，然后穿过冰面。 根据文章救援情节可知，Jed脚抵住冰面，伸出手去拉落水的Matt。hand“手”，符合语境；leg“腿”，head“头”，foot“脚”，均不符合题意。 【9题详解】 句意：“好吧，Jed，听上去你就像一位英雄。也许我应该叫报社的人过来，来给你拍照写一篇报道。” 根据后文“He is the hero.”警官点明英雄身份。hero“英雄”，符合语境；fool“傻瓜”，swimmer“游泳者”，student“学生”，均不符合题意。 【10题详解】 句意：“好主意，”Matt说道。他感觉好多了。“我从来没有上过报纸。” 根据Matt刚刚获救，脱离危险之后身体状态好转。better“更好的”，符合语境；weaker“更虚弱的”，worse“更差的”，angrier“更生气的”，均不符合题意。 Ⅱ.阅读理解(40分) A I jumped out from my hiding place and ran over to the group of riders.

Spy-glass Hill was in the centre of the island. C. The map showed an island. D. Most of the treasure was hidden in the northern end of the island. 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The reason why the pirates stole the treasure. B. The doctor and the squire’s discussion. C. The secret on the captain’s papers. D. My trust in Dr. Livesey. 【答案】11. C 12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《金银岛》，讲述了“我”从藏身处出来，与警官回旅馆发现失窃，后将船长的文件交给医生，并发现其中藏宝图的故事。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I think they wanted these papers in my pocket”可知，海盗真正想要的是船长文件。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词出现在第八段“The two men were sitting in a great library”，结合前文“Dr. Livesey was not at home. He was dining with Squire Trelawney…”可知，“The two men”指Dr. Livesey和Squire Trelawney。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。正确顺序为：④“我”从藏身处出来→⑤和警官回旅馆→②骑马去医生家→①医生和乡绅在图书馆→③和医生打开船长文件。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“There were three crosses in red, two in the northern part and one in the south-west. Beside the last cross were the words: Most of the treasure here.”可知，大部分宝藏藏在西南部，而非北部，因此D项错误。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“我”将船长文件交给医生，并从中发现藏宝图这一核心事件展开，因此主要讲的是船长文件中的秘密。 B Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes created something that would change the shipment industry and make e-commerce stores possible: bubble wrap (气泡膜包装). It has been used by companies and people around the world for packing ever since. The little air bubbles that make up a section of bubble wrap were, in fact, invented by chance.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了气泡膜包装的发明过程、最初用途、流行原因以及科学家对其令人放松的解释。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。第二段提到“they were trying to create a type of wallpaper.”，因此两人最初想创造的是墙纸。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。第三段提到“IBM saw how useful bubble wrap could be for protecting its new, very expensive computers during shipment.”，因此IBM将气泡膜用于保护电脑。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。第五段提到“Some think that people are relaxed by touching things. So the smooth surface and bubbles are perfect for keeping our hands busy.”，因此气泡膜受欢迎是因为人们触摸小气泡时感到放松。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。最后一段提到“Other scientists think that small actions, such as finger or foot shaking, are a kind of exercise.”，因此其他科学家认为气泡膜可以用于锻炼。 【20题详解】 最佳标题题。全文围绕气泡膜这种流行的包装材料展开，因此最佳标题是“一种受欢迎的包装材料”。 C Most scientists say animals never feel happy or sad. In fact, they say animals probably don't feel love, anger, hate or other emotions either. A scientist named Joseph E. LeDoux studied mice to find out whether animals have emotions. He found that mice have at least one emotion — fear. He also found the part of the brain that seems to control fear in mice. In humans, that part of the brain also controls fear, and some other emotions. A number of scientists say animals have emotions. Some scientists who have studied animals such as dogs, cats, elephants and lions say those animals have emotions. A scientist named Joyce Poole studies elephants. She has written that pachyderms often show sadness when a relative dies. She says elephants have “deep emotions”. Jane Goodall studies chimpanzees (黑猩猩). She says she has seen them playing and running after one another for fun. Goodall also says they feel sad sometimes. For example, an old chimpanzee died, and one of her sons, Flint, refused to eat food. Flint's brothers and sisters tried to get him to eat, but they failed. Three weeks later, Flint died. Goodall says Flint died of “sadness”. Scientist Marc Bekoff watched an elk (驼鹿) run back and forth through the snow. Bekoff said it was feeling the “joy of life”. He said he couldn’t prove that animals have feelings, because animals can’t talk. But he said animals can communicate feelings in other ways. “I can’t prove that an animal is feeling happy or sad, but I can guess how it is feeling through body language and facial expressions,” he said. 21. Which of the following emotions can a mouse feel according to the passage? A. Anger. B. Love. C. Fear. D. Happiness. 22. The underlined word “pachyderms” may refer to “________”. A. lions B. elephants C. chimpanzees D. cats 23. Marc Bekoff believed animals have feelings because he saw ________. A. a chimpanzee died of sadness B. a mouse that was afraid C. an elephant that felt sad about a dead relative D. an elk run back and forth through the snow 24. According to the passage, how do scientists find out whether or not animals have feelings? A. By writing about how animals feel. B. By asking animals directly how they feel. C. By watching the body language and facial expressions of animals. D. By watching how much animals eat at different times during a day. 25. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Joyce Poole’s studies on how elephants feel. B. Scientists who are arguing over some animals. C. Jane Goodall’s work with chimpanzees. D. Scientists’ ideas about whether or not animals have feelings. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D 24. C 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家们提出的关于动物是否有感情的观点，并给出实例进行证明。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。第二段“He found that mice have at least one emotion——fear.”直接给出答案：老鼠能感受到恐惧。 【22题详解】 词句猜测题。第四段“She has written that pachyderms often show sadness when a relative dies.
