We forget things every day. Why? Scientists say forgetting is also useful. It helps our brain clear useless information so that it can focus on important things. There are three steps for memory: encoding, storage and retrieval. First, when we see or hear something, our brain encodes the message. Then it stores the information. Finally, when we need it, we retrieve it. If any step fails, we can’t recall the memory. Here are simple ways to improve memory: 1. Pay full attention. You cannot remember things if you are distracted. 2. Review regularly. Review within one day after learning. 3. Use mind maps or pictures. Pictures help the brain keep information. 4. Take exercise and sleep well. They are good for your brain. True (T) or False (F): 21. Our memory is perfect and we won’t forget anything. 22. Forgetting some useless information is helpful for our brain. 23. Memory has three steps: encoding, storage and retrieval. 24. We can remember well when our mind is distracted. 25.

It has been a national-level intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产) since 2008. “Making a large lantern takes over 15 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. One team works on one step. The famous sundial (日晷) lantern took about 15 teams, including about 80 makers, over 50 days to complete. Zigong lanterns are famous for their creative themes. You can find lanterns of the Chinese zodiac (生肖), astronauts, and so on. “Anything that can be designed (设计) on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. To keep up with the times, Zigong lantern makers now use modern technologies to help them. “We used to design the lanterns all by ourselves,” said Wan. “Now we also use AI for good ideas.” With the encouragement of the government, the lanterns are now a name card for the city. Until this year, Zigong has held the 32nd Lantern Festival. Zigong lanterns have gone to more than 500 cities in China and more than 80 countries around the world. They certainly bring much fun and warmth to people during many traditional Chinese festivals. 31. Which of the following can best describe Zigong lantern-making according to Paragraph 2? A. Interesting. B. Difficult. C. Traditional. D. Creative. 32. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The problems of Zigong lanterns. B. The modern technologies of Zigong. C. The long history of Zigong lanterns. D. The creative design of Zigong lanterns. 33. What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A. 500 cities. B. The lantern makers. C.

Visitors can admire Zigong lanterns only in Zigong. D. Zigong lanterns don’t have any modern themes. 35. Why does the writer write this passage? A. To introduce the Zigong Lantern Festival. B. To show the long history of Chinese lanterns. C. To teach people how to design lanterns. D. To encourage people to visit Zigong. C People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ________ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 36. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1? A. Nobody knows why this happens. B. A new study adds chickens to the list. C. Humans may not like animals. D. Scientists know nothing about it. 37. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? s: sounds t: time A. B. C. D. 38. How did the volunteers help with the research? A. By finding food for the chickens. B. By making the chickens happy. C. By listening to the chicken calls. D. By taking care of the chickens. 39. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A. recognize. B. hurt. C. control. D. hide. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chickens’ Food B. Chickens’ Food Calls C. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers D. Farmers’ Best Choice 第三节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将所选答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. ____41____ We can do this by helping them develop the following skills that will serve them well, no matter what the future holds.

There is a story behind it. There was a time that women with small feet were believed to be more ____11____. Then young girls would be asked to painfully bind (捆绑) their feet to prevent them from getting bigger.

In ancient times, people would paint a “qilin skin” on a large piece of cloth and put it on a horse so that the horse would look like a qilin.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国成语“露马脚”的由来，讲述马皇后大脚意外暴露的故事及麒麟传说，并对比了英语习语。 【11题详解】 句意：曾经有一段时间，人们认为脚小的女人更美丽。 根据后文“young girls would be asked to painfully bind their feet to prevent them from getting bigger”可知，当时人们认为脚小更美，所以才会让女孩缠足。beautiful“漂亮的”符合语境。terrible“糟糕的”、convenient“方便的”、helpless“无助的”均不符合。 【12题详解】 句意：马皇后是明朝第一位皇帝朱元璋的妻子，她拒绝缠足，因为她喜欢练习武术。 根据后文“because she liked to practice martial arts”以及“her feet grew larger”可知，马皇后没有缠足，因此应填refused“拒绝”。managed“设法做成”、planned“计划”、failed“失败”均不符合语境。 【13题详解】 句意：所以她的脚比别的女人的脚大。 此处表示“其他女人的脚”，泛指其他女性，应用other women。the other通常指两者中的另一个；another后接单数名词；others后不接名词。故选C。 【14题详解】 句意：成为皇后以后，马皇后把脚当作秘密，穿着长袍。 根据后文她试图用长袍遮住脚，以及“she was not able to hide her feet”可知，她一直把脚当作秘密，不想让别人看到。keep sth a secret表示“把某事当作秘密”，故选B。diary“日记”、game“游戏”、memory“记忆”均不符合。 【15题详解】 句意：一天，当她坐在繁忙街道附近的马车里时，一阵强风吹起了她的长袍。 此处引导时间状语从句，表示“当……时”，应用when。but表转折；because表原因；though表让步，均不符合。 【16题详解】 句意：她没能及时藏住自己的脚。 根据前文“a strong wind blew her long gowns surprisingly”可知，风突然吹起长袍，她来不及及时遮住脚。in time表示“及时”，符合语境。on time“准时”、at times“有时”、for a time“暂时”均不符合。 【17题详解】 句意：然而，研究表明，“露马脚”实际上可能来源于一种古代习俗。 此处表示“实际上；事实上”，用actually。finally“最终”、badly“糟糕地”、hardly“几乎不”均不符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：麒麟是一种虚构的动物，是好运的象征。 a symbol of表示“……的象征”，符合语境。example“例子”、custom“习俗”、practice“做法”均不符合。 【19题详解】 句意：然而，马的脚很难遮盖，很容易被看见。 主语the horse’s feet与see之间是被动关系，且情态动词could后接动词原形，故用be seen。 【20题详解】 句意：渐渐地，“露马脚”开始表示“泄露秘密”。 come to mean表示“开始表示；逐渐意味着”，符合语境。meet“遇见”、discuss“讨论”、decide“决定”均不符合。 第二部分 阅读理解（共三节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 根据短文内容，判断正误（正确“T”，错误“F”），并将所选答案涂到答题卡相应的位置上。 Our memory is amazing.

We forget things every day.”，可知记忆并不完美，我们每天都会忘记事情，此题错误。 【22题详解】 第一段中提到“Scientists say forgetting is also useful. It helps our brain clear useless information so that it can focus on important things.”，可知忘记无用信息对大脑有帮助，此题正确。 【23题详解】 第二段中提到“There are three steps for memory: encoding, storage and retrieval.”，可知记忆有三个步骤，此题正确。 【24题详解】 第三段中提到“Pay full attention.

In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ________ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 36. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1? A. Nobody knows why this happens. B. A new study adds chickens to the list. C. Humans may not like animals. D. Scientists know nothing about it. 37. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? s: sounds t: time A. B. C. D. 38. How did the volunteers help with the research? A. By finding food for the chickens. B. By making the chickens happy. C. By listening to the chicken calls. D. By taking care of the chickens. 39. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A. recognize. B. hurt. C. control. D. hide. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chickens’ Food B. Chickens’ Food Calls C. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers D. Farmers’ Best Choice 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. C 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了一项关于鸡的情绪的新研究，研究发现人类可通过鸡的叫声辨别其情绪，文章还说明了相关实验过程、研究结论，以及该发现在养鸡行业的应用前景。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第1段“In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ________ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.”可推知，前文提及科学家已研究过多种动物的情绪，后文引出关于鸡的情绪的研究结论，空缺处应是说明鸡也被纳入了研究范围，对应B选项内容。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls.”可推知，鸡开心时的叫声又快又响，对应声波特点为频率高（单位时间内振动次数多）、振幅大（响度大），D选项的声波图符合该特征。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not”可推知，志愿者通过聆听鸡的叫声录音参与研究，判断鸡的情绪状态。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第4段“Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings.”可推知，研究发现人类能识别鸡的情绪，由此研发的智能电脑程序作用是辨别鸡的情绪，identify意为“识别”，与recognize词义相近。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。结合全文核心内容，文章以食物引发的鸡的不同叫声为研究载体，围绕鸡的叫声与情绪的关联展开实验与探讨，“Chickens’ Food Calls”是文章的核心研究线索，最适合作为全文标题。 第三节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将所选答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. ____41____ We can do this by helping them develop the following skills that will serve them well, no matter what the future holds.

(invent) 【答案】 Inventors 【解析】 【详解】句意：发明家希望创造出能够改变人们生活的东西。invent是动词，此处需要表示“发明家”的名词，作句子主语；谓语hope是原形，说明主语为复数形式，invent的名词形式inventor意为“发明家”，复数为inventors，句首字母大写。 50.
