Although I’m not a music major, I brought my beloved violin to the United States during this study abroad semester. This violin could not be kept apart from my life.
When I was six years old, I was one of the typical kids who started to learn musical instruments. Parents would hear their young kids shouting, “Mom! I want to learn the piano! Dad! I want to learn the violin!” Well, the difference is, for me, that it was not my free will. Yes, my mom just forced me to play the violin. In the violin school, you could hear the kids crying in the practice room after being scolded (责骂) by their moms. I was one of them. At the time, I hated the violin. However, I started to love the violin when my mom stopped focusing on my relationship with the violin in high school, because her attention naturally changed to my school performance. Maybe she didn’t have enough energy to force me to practice anymore.
When I finally got into college, the first thing I did was to register for the campus orchestra. I didn’t want to stop playing the violin. The orchestra helped me get involved in such a harmonious, friendly group for the first time while I was playing an instrument. It was my first time meeting friends who have similar hobbies, passion and dreams. I can’t forget my first classical concert. I was feeling true love toward the orchestra and the violin. I was extremely excited and I couldn’t wait for the next concert. The time just passed as a blink. Two hours felt like 10 minutes.
For everyone, it’s never too late to learn to play an instrument. It is really one of the best ways to express one’s emotions and communicate it to other people, and I have grown my emotions while being a part of an orchestra.

Rivers are very important. Humans rely on them for food and water. But rivers can destroy things, too. They can flood, or rise over their banks, making the water run into the nearby land. Floods can also kill humans and wildlife. However, floods are not always bad. Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats. For example, a flood in India in 2012 killed many one-horned rhinos. Flood waters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty. Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing. Sometimes flood waters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine life. In addition, flood waters can carry disease, including hepatitis A (甲型肝炎) and cholera (霍乱).
However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment (沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and help plants grow. Floods are important to some animals as well. For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate. Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat. Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.
8. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in Paragraph 2?
A. Become. B. Pollute. C. Block. D. Develop.
9. How do floods help ecosystems?
A. Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.
B. Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.
C. Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.
D. Floods can improve the dirt and help plants grow.
10. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The way in which floods feed animals. B. The benefits of floods to ecosystems.
C. An effective means of improving soil. D. The reason for people’s appreciating floods.
11. What’s the best title of this article?
A. The Bad Effects of Flooding B. The Secret of Flooding
C. Floods-A Disaster to Humans D. Floods — A Part of Nature
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了洪水的好处和坏处,指出洪水是自然的一部分,维持生态平衡。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Too much dirt will”以及后文“rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing”可知,太多的污垢会堵塞河流和小溪,阻止河流流动。故划线词意思是“堵塞”。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment (沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and help plants grow.(有时它们会给生态系统带来新的生命。洪水把养分带到附近的土地上。随着时间的推移,水干涸了,留下了灰尘和泥浆颗粒。这些颗粒被称为沉积物,因为它能改善土壤,帮助植物生长)”可知,洪水携带的养分可以使土壤更肥沃,从而帮助生态系统。故选A。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment (沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and help plants grow. Floods are important to some animals as well. For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate. Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat. Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.(然而,并非所有关于洪水的事情都是不好的。有时它们会给生态系统带来新的生命。洪水把养分带到附近的土地上。随着时间的推移,水干涸了,留下了灰尘和泥浆颗粒。这些颗粒被称为沉积物,因为它能改善土壤,帮助植物生长。洪水对一些动物也很重要。例如,一些动物把洪水看作是交配或迁徙的信号。洪水在河床上留下沉积物,幼鱼可以在河床上生长,并携带营养物质供水中的小动物食用。此外,在干旱季节,水可能会干涸,但洪水有助于补充湿地,保持生态系统的运转)”可知,第三段的主旨是洪水对生态系统的好处。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.(洪水是自然的一部分。它们会破坏生物和环境。但有些生态系统需要洪水才能生存)”结合文章主要说明了洪水的好处和坏处,指出洪水是自然的一部分,维持生态平衡。可知,D选项“洪水——自然的一部分”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Like most other parrots, parakeets (长尾小鹦鹉) are known to have the ability to copy human speech. Now a new study has found that when parakeets make sounds, their brains work similarly to the way human brains function when we speak.
The study was led by Michael Long, a professor at New York University. Long’s team focused on common parakeets, also known as budgerigars or budgies. They placed tiny probes (探针) into the brains of four birds to keep track of their brain activity as they made sounds, focusing on a part of the brain called the anterior arcopallium (AAC), which is known to affect vocal muscles, which are muscles related to voice.
They found that certain brain cells (细胞) became active when the birds made specific sounds. Some cells seemed to be involved in producing consonants, and others created vowels. Some showed activity when the birds made high sounds, while other cells lit up for low sounds. This simple system allows parakeets to combine different sounds to make complex calls. Long described it as a “beautiful solution” for sound production.
In human brains, specific brain cell activity is connected with certain movements of the lips or tongue. This is the first time scientists have identified a similar language “map” in the brain of a nonhuman animal. The researchers think it’s possible that other parrots also have a similar set up in their brains.
Long’s team also studied zebra finches. Compared to parakeets, the finches’ brains have complex systems. But these can make only simple songs and cannot copy human speech.
Researching how language works in bird brains could help scientists better understand how it works in the human brain. This could lead to solutions for speech injuries in humans. Long said that discovering insights from animals is “an important way to develop new treatments for speech disorders.”
12. What is the function of tiny probes?
A. To study the structure of AAC. B. To record parakeets’ brain response.
C. To help parakeets make sounds. D. To change parakeets’ muscular system.
13. What can we know about parakeets’ brain cells?
A. They work in a puzzling way. B. They fail to mix different sounds.
C. They only process high sounds. D. They react to sounds differently.
14. Which is the new finding about parakeets?
A. Ability to sing beautiful songs. B. Talent for copying human speech.
C. Speech-linked brain activity. D. Higher intelligence than zebra finches.
15. Which aspect of the study does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A. The method. B. The process. C. The significance. D. The future.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于长尾小鹦鹉(parakeets)大脑活动的新研究,发现它们在发出声音时,大脑的工作方式与人类说话时的大脑活动相似。这一发现可能有助于科学家更好地理解人类大脑的语言机制,并为治疗人类语言障碍提供新的思路。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They placed tiny probes (探针) into the brains of four birds to keep track of their brain activity as they made sounds, focusing on a part of the brain called the anterior arcopallium (AAC), which is known to affect vocal muscles, which are muscles related to voice.(他们在四只鸟的大脑中植入了微型探针,以跟踪它们发出声音时的大脑活动,重点关注大脑中一个被称为前弧形核(AAC)的部分,已知该部分会影响与声音相关的发声肌肉。)”可知,微型探针的作用是记录长尾小鹦鹉发出声音时的大脑反应。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They found that certain brain cells (细胞) became active when the birds made specific sounds. Some cells seemed to be involved in producing consonants, and others created vowels. Some showed activity when the birds made high sounds, while other cells lit up for low sounds.(他们发现,当鸟儿发出特定的声音时,某些脑细胞会变得活跃。有些细胞似乎参与辅音的产生,有些细胞产生元音。当鸟儿发出高音时,一些细胞表现出活动,而当鸟儿发出低音时,其他细胞则活跃起来。)”可知,长尾小鹦鹉的脑细胞对声音的反应不同。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Now a new study has found that when parakeets make sounds, their brains work similarly to the way human brains function when we speak.(现在一项新的研究发现,当长尾小鹦鹉发出声音时,它们的大脑工作方式与人类说话时的大脑工作方式相似。)”以及第四段中的“In human brains, specific brain cell activity is connected with certain movements of the lips or tongue. This is the first time scientists have identified a similar language “map” in the brain of a nonhuman animal.(在人类大脑中,特定的脑细胞活动与嘴唇或舌头的特定运动有关。这是科学家首次在非人类动物的大脑中发现类似的“语言地图”。)”可知,关于长尾小鹦鹉的新发现是与语言相关的大脑活动。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Researching how language works in bird brains could help scientists better understand how it works in the human brain. This could lead to solutions for speech injuries in humans. Long said that discovering insights from animals is “an important way to develop new treatments for speech disorders.”(研究鸟类大脑的语言工作机制可以帮助科学家更好地了解人类大脑的语言工作机制。这可能会为人类的语言损伤找到解决方案。Long说,从动物身上发现洞察力是“开发语言障碍新疗法的重要途径”。)”可知,最后一段主要关注的是研究的未来意义,强调研究对人类语言障碍治疗的潜在影响,属于未来应用。故选C项。

考查副词。句意:学习无疑是我生活中很重要的一部分。设空处修饰整个句子,需要用副词definitely。
【47题详解】
考查介词。句意:我的目标是这学期每门功课都取得好成绩。固定搭配do well in表示“在……方面做得好”。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:生物是我最喜欢的科目,我的目标是为大学的生物学学位做准备。句子主语是my target,作表语的非谓语动词此处用不定式结构,用来表示具体的将要去实现的目标。
【49题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:我在所有课上都专心听讲,积极思考,这样放学后我就可以有更多的空闲时间做其他我感兴趣的事情。设空处前有限定词all,后面接可数名词时需要用复数形式,class的复数是classes。

考查非谓语动词。句意:我有一个前十的阅读清单,我努力让它保持更新状态。此处为固定结构keep sth. done,it指代reading list,和update之间是逻辑上的被动关系,表示清单被更新,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。

考查动词时态。句意:放学后,我尽量利用任何可能的时间复习我白天学到的东西。此处表示白天已经学习过的内容,可以用现在完成时强调过去的动作对现在的影响,也可以用一般过去时陈述过去发生的动作,主语为I,助动词用have。所以填have learned或者learnt都符合语境。
【54题详解】
考查代词。句意:例如,我坐公交车回家通常要花20分钟。此处是固定句型it takes sb. some time to do sth.,表示“做某事花费某人多长时间”,it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式to get home by bus。
【55题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:正如这句流行的谚语所说:“分秒必争!”固定结构as the popular saying goes是常用表达,表示“正如俗话所说”,as引导非限制性定语从句,指代后面引号里的内容。首字母大写。

Although I’m not a music major, I brought my beloved violin to the United States during this study abroad semester. This violin could not be kept apart from my life.
When I was six years old, I was one of the typical kids who started to learn musical instruments. Parents would hear their young kids shouting, “Mom! I want to learn the piano! Dad! I want to learn the violin!” Well, the difference is, for me, that it was not my free will. Yes, my mom just forced me to play the violin. In the violin school, you could hear the kids crying in the practice room after being scolded (责骂) by their moms. I was one of them. At the time, I hated the violin. However, I started to love the violin when my mom stopped focusing on my relationship with the violin in high school, because her attention naturally changed to my school performance. Maybe she didn’t have enough energy to force me to practice anymore.
When I finally got into college, the first thing I did was to register for the campus orchestra. I didn’t want to stop playing the violin. The orchestra helped me get involved in such a harmonious, friendly group for the first time while I was playing an instrument. It was my first time meeting friends who have similar hobbies, passion and dreams. I can’t forget my first classical concert. I was feeling true love toward the orchestra and the violin. I was extremely excited and I couldn’t wait for the next concert. The time just passed as a blink. Two hours felt like 10 minutes.
For everyone, it’s never too late to learn to play an instrument. It is really one of the best ways to express one’s emotions and communicate it to other people, and I have grown my emotions while being a part of an orchestra.

Rivers are very important. Humans rely on them for food and water. But rivers can destroy things, too. They can flood, or rise over their banks, making the water run into the nearby land. Floods can also kill humans and wildlife. However, floods are not always bad. Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats. For example, a flood in India in 2012 killed many one-horned rhinos. Flood waters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty. Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing. Sometimes flood waters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine life. In addition, flood waters can carry disease, including hepatitis A (甲型肝炎) and cholera (霍乱).
However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment (沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and help plants grow. Floods are important to some animals as well. For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate. Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat. Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.
8. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in Paragraph 2?
A. Become. B. Pollute. C. Block. D. Develop.
9. How do floods help ecosystems?
A. Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.
B. Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.
C. Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.
D. Floods can improve the dirt and help plants grow.
10. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The way in which floods feed animals. B. The benefits of floods to ecosystems.
C. An effective means of improving soil. D. The reason for people’s appreciating floods.
11. What’s the best title of this article?
A. The Bad Effects of Flooding B. The Secret of Flooding
C. Floods-A Disaster to Humans D. Floods — A Part of Nature
D
Like most other parrots, parakeets (长尾小鹦鹉) are known to have the ability to copy human speech. Now a new study has found that when parakeets make sounds, their brains work similarly to the way human brains function when we speak.
The study was led by Michael Long, a professor at New York University. Long’s team focused on common parakeets, also known as budgerigars or budgies. They placed tiny probes (探针) into the brains of four birds to keep track of their brain activity as they made sounds, focusing on a part of the brain called the anterior arcopallium (AAC), which is known to affect vocal muscles, which are muscles related to voice.
They found that certain brain cells (细胞) became active when the birds made specific sounds. Some cells seemed to be involved in producing consonants, and others created vowels. Some showed activity when the birds made high sounds, while other cells lit up for low sounds. This simple system allows parakeets to combine different sounds to make complex calls. Long described it as a “beautiful solution” for sound production.
In human brains, specific brain cell activity is connected with certain movements of the lips or tongue. This is the first time scientists have identified a similar language “map” in the brain of a nonhuman animal. The researchers think it’s possible that other parrots also have a similar set up in their brains.
Long’s team also studied zebra finches. Compared to parakeets, the finches’ brains have complex systems. But these can make only simple songs and cannot copy human speech.
Researching how language works in bird brains could help scientists better understand how it works in the human brain. This could lead to solutions for speech injuries in humans. Long said that discovering insights from animals is “an important way to develop new treatments for speech disorders.”
12. What is the function of tiny probes?
A. To study the structure of AAC. B. To record parakeets’ brain response.
C. To help parakeets make sounds. D. To change parakeets’ muscular system.
13. What can we know about parakeets’ brain cells?
A. They work in a puzzling way. B. They fail to mix different sounds.
C. They only process high sounds. D. They react to sounds differently.
14. Which is the new finding about parakeets?
A. Ability to sing beautiful songs. B. Talent for copying human speech.
C. Speech-linked brain activity. D. Higher intelligence than zebra finches.
15. Which aspect of the study does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A. The method. B. The process. C. The significance. D. The future.
