A
What Is Your Pet Trying to Tell You
Animals want our attention, and sometimes they’re quite obviously about asking for it. Unusual behaviors are often our pets’ way of telling us to stop what we’re doing and play with them. It’s why Fido constantly chases his tail and why Kitty keeps rolling around. A desperately bored pet may have “bad” behaviors to get a reaction-even a negative one!
Feed me.
Sure, your dog loves you, but that’s not why he’s licking(舔)your face. A puppy learns to lick his mother’s mouth to get a little leftover food, so Spot isn’t kissing you in our sense of the word; he just wants a snack.
I’m stressed.
Cat owners also misinterpret their furry friends’ kisses. While a cat might lick you to show love, sometimes she’ll do it to ease herself. One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is to see if it goes on for an extended period of time. Birds also overclean when they feel anxious. Some will even drag out their own feathers.
My tail tells all.
Dogs wag(摇)their tails to the right when they see something or someone they want to approach, and to the left when they see something they want to avoid. When frightened, dogs curl their tails in, while cats wrap theirs around themselves. And if a cat’s tail looks like a question mark, she’s eager to play.
1.What does a dog show if it kisses its owner
A. Hunger. B. Love. C. Fear. D. Sadness.
2.How many kinds of pets are mentioned in the text
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
3.What will happen if birds get anxious
A. They will drag others’ feathers.
B. They will approach someone they like.
C. They will clean their feathers more than necessary.
D. They will stare at their owners for a longer time.
B
Pigeons in London have a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And many people blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city.
"The problem for air pollution is that it's been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,'' says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization ClientEarth. "People don't realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health." London's, poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing the report released by the city manager last year, "If people were better informed about the pollution they've breathing, they could pressure the government to do something about it."
Nearby, on a windy hill in London's Regent's Park, an experiment that could help is underway — the first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the creative director of a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest to show how a world problem could be solved using social media. Duquesnoy, from France, chose the problem of air pollution.
"Basically, I realized how important the problem was," he says. "But also I realized that most of the people around me didn't know anything about it." Duquesnoy wanted to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through social media. "So," he wondered, "how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible " Drones(无人驾驶飞机) were his first thought. But it's illegal to fly them over London. "But pigeons can fly above London, right " he says. "Actual] y, they are 'Londoners' as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low."
So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the city's air.
1. What can we infer about London’s air quality from Paragraph 2
A. Londoners are satisfied with it.
B. The government doesn't know how to deal with it.
C. The government has done a lot to improve it.
D. Londoners should pay more attention to it.
2. Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to _____.
A. entertain Londoners
B. solve a world problem
C. design a product for sale
D. protect animals like pigeons
3.Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly across London
A. They are too expensive. B. They fly too quickly.
C. They are forbidden. D. They fly too high.
4. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. London's Environmental Fighter B. London's Dirty Secret
C. Clean Air in London D. Causes of Air Pollution in London
C
Dolphins appear to make a tasty meal for many predators(捕食性动物). And why With an exceptionally high fat content, dolphins provide great nutrition for predators who track throughout the ocean. However, dolphins are more troublesome than it's worth and most predators generally learn to avoid dolphin groups, including sharks. Like elephants, dolphins will circle protectively around the weak members of the group, and attack anything that approaches in a threatening manner. And they can kill sharks. Most predators take one look, and then just swim away.
Dolphins don't worry a lot about being eaten. In general, their only real predator is the shark, and even then only the larger species of sharks dare to attack dolphins. Dolphins have evolved(进化) over a long time to be pretty tough, so in general even the most dangerous sharks stay away from them. Dolphin parts have been found in the bellies of killer whales, who will eat just about anything. In fact, dolphins and killer whales team up sometimes to catch some prey.
As with most edible(可以食用的) species today, the most dangerous threat is man. Sometimes, dolphins are killed not because they are a source of food, but because they prey on the same fish species as humans. Therefore, many fishermen have killed dolphins specifically because they think dolphins will min their catch.
Even more, there are some countries that eat cetaceans, including dolphins. In Japan, the meat of some dolphin species is seen as a delicacy, and can cost up to $ 25 a pound. In Peru and many other Latin American countries where the ocean has been largely short of fish due to overfishing or environmental conditions such as El Ni o, fishermen have turned to catch dolphins and porpoises to sell in fish markets.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.No ocean animals can attack dolphins. B.Dolphins are not easy to deal with.
C.Dolphins often kill sharks. D.Dolphins are quite low in fat.
2.What does the underlined part in the passage mean
A.People have ever found the evidence of killer whales eating dolphins.
B.Dolphins and killer whales have something in common concerning bellies.
C.Dolphins and killer whales join hands to hunt and feed.
D.Dolphins and killer whales are not similar in bellyparts.
3.Which is one of the reasons why dolphins are killed according to Para. 3
A.The number of dolphins is too large.
B.Dolphins are more delicious than other species.
C.Dolphins compete with humans on the same fish species.
D.Dolphins' meat is the main economic source for some fishermen.
4.Why do the Japanese kill dolphins
A.Dolphins cause overfishing. B.Dolphins affect their way of living.
C.Dolphins are a source of delicious food. D.There are not so many fish in the ocean as before.
D
The world's stocks of seafood will have collapsed(暴跌) by 2050 at present rates of destruction by fishing, a scientist said. By 2048, to be exact, catches of all the presently fished seafoods will have decreased on average by more than 90 percent since 1950. The study says the loss of biodiversity(生物多样性) cuts down the ability of oceans to feed the world's growing human population—expected to rise by 50 percent to nine billion in 2050.
Overfishing also destroys the stability of ocean environments largely, reducing the ocean's ability to produce seafood, resist diseases, filter(过滤) pollutants and rebound(回升) from stresses such as climate change. And every species matters when it comes to the ocean's ability to repair itself, says the study.
Dr Boris Worm, of Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, the lead author, said, "This is what is projected, not predicted, to happen. I am confident we will not go there because we will do something about it. But if this trend continues in this predictable fashion, as it has for the last 50 years, the world's currently fished seafoods will have reached what we define as collapse by 2048."
"Every year a higher percentage of the currently fished stocks collapse. We are losing it piece by piece." Prof Callum Roberts, of the University of York, who was not involved in the study, said, "The animals and plants that inhabit the sea are not merely embellishments(装饰) to be wondered at. They are essential to the health of the oceans and well-being of human society. We need to ban destructive fishing practices and create a network of large-scale marine reserves around not just Britain, but globally."
1. According to the passage that all seafood will run out in 2050 will _____.
A. make the sea water much fresher and cleaner
B. make it impossible to support more people with the seafood
C. make the whole animals on land die away
D. make the fishermen have more free time to rest
2. What bad result will overfishing bring to us
A. Destroying the stability of ocean environments.
B. Largely reducing the ocean's ability to produce fresh water.
C. Increasing the ocean's ability to filter pollutants.
D. Making the ocean have no more capability to repair itself.
3. What is Dr Boris Worm's idea about the future of the seafood in the world
A. All seafood will surely run out in 2050.
B. The seafood will become more than now in 2050.
C. Seafoods will not have collapsed if people try their best to protect the ocean.
D. The situation of the seafoods will get much worse than predicted even if people do something about it.
4. How should we do in order to protect the seafood from running out
A. We should encourage the destructive fishing practices around the world.
B. We should regard the animals and plants that inhabit the sea embellishments to be wondered at.
C. We should create a network of large-scale sea reserves around the whole world.
D. We should learn that the animals and plants that inhabit the sea are not necessary to the health of the oceans.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was 28 years old, the age when most young people have their eyes firmly fixed on the promise of success—but I was a failure.
Six years earlier, fresh from college, I had joined a theatrical producing company, and had been going to small towns and rural communities producing country-style musical comedies. But the country was in a depression then. So, jobless and with nothing else in sight, I went back home. To bring some money into the house, I finally got a job as a recreation room director.
I desired to be a drama star. Restless and dissatisfied though I was, it was nice, in a way, to be back home. I tried to relieve the dullness of my job by teaching some of the town's youngsters music and drama. And when I got a chance, I'd try my luck as a performer myself. I'd dress up as a country girl and tell little stories and jokes. I gave this country girl a name — Minnie Pearl.
One October afternoon I was in the recreation room, waiting for the children at three o'clock when a banker friend, Jim Walker, came in. "Ophelia," he said, "we're going to have a bankers' meeting here. I understand that in the evenings you've been teaching some children drama and dancing and singing. Would you let the children perform for the bankers "
I said, yes, of course. He started to walk away, but then he stopped and turned. "Oh, by the way," he added, "the speaker Harry Stone, the manager of the great country music station from Chicago is flying here. If he's late, would you mind acting Minnie Pearl "
I told Jim I'd do it. That night we performed for the bankers. The children sang and danced to old-time and popular songs. We finished the program, and Jim came to me. "The speaker's not here yet. Ophelia, you'll have to help us.''
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

第二部分 语言知识运用
第一节
答案：1-5 CBADD 6-10 AACBC 11-15 BABDC
解析：1.—切都始于上周日, Taylor带着他的狗去给他的汽车加油。truck卡车; bus公交车; car汽车; boat船。由下文中的his car可知事件是关于他的汽车。
2.Taylor告诉警方他的汽车被困在雪里了。broken破损的; stuck卡住的; lost丢失的; changed改变的。由下文中的he was trapped in the snow可知, 汽车陷在了雪里, get stuck意为"卡住"。
3.过了一段时间, 他睡着了, 然后在周一醒过来, 发现雪更大了, 不能下车了。fall asleep睡着; take risks冒险; try out尝试; keep on继续。此处与下文的woke up对应, 指他睡着了。
4.过了一段时间, 他睡着了, 然后在周一醒过来, 发现雪更大了, 不能下车了。also也; almost几乎; still仍然; even甚至。下文指出他已经不能从车里出来了, 可以推断雪下得更大了, 要用even表示递进。
5.他在周一尝试着走出来, 但雪太深了, 很难步行。put out熄灭, 伸出; call out召集; break out爆发; walk out走出。下文表明雪太深了, 可见是很难走出去的。
6.他在周一尝试着走出来, 但雪太深了, 很难步行。 difficult困难的; boring无聊的; important重要的; possible可能的。雪太深了, 因此在上面步行是比较艰难的。
7.所以他和他的狗回到了车上。return返回; point指向; tend趋向于; appeal吸引。承接前文情节, 发现在雪中走路很困难, Taylor应该会选择回到车上再想办法。
8.根据报告, 到周三一份寻找Taylor的启事就被贴了出来。结合语境可知, Taylor从周日出去, 到周三已经几天没有回家了, 因此会被人认为是失踪了。
9.在Taylor被困在雪中后接下来的几天里……。until直到; after之后; before之前; unless除非。根据下文描述的求生过程来看, 这些事都发生在Taylor被困在雪中之后。
10.他告诉警方说他通过不时地发动汽车来保持温暖。clean干净的; hot热的; warm温暖的; mild温和的。结合语境可知, Taylor被困在大雪中是需要保暖的。
11.他把带的一些卷饼酱当作食物吃。buy购买; eat吃; make制作; borrow借用。既然是as food"作为食物", 显然是吃掉了。
12.周五, 一个滑冰者拨打了911说他们发现了Taylor。滑冰者报告警方就是因为他们看到了Taylor。
13.警方很快派了一辆工程车把Taylor和他的狗挖出来。 send发送; dig挖; pick挑选; tick打钩。结合前文汽车被困在雪里的事实, 这里指把汽车从雪里挖出来。故选B项。
14.警官说他们只是在雪里困了5天后很饿。clay黏土; typhoon台风; thunderstorm雷雨; snow雪。
15.Taylor对帮助他的人很感激。desperate绝望的; awkward尴尬的; thankful感激的; ashamed羞愧的。
第二节
答案：答案：scientific ； followed ； what ； into ； is gained ； which ； though ； existence ； However ； a
解析：这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了在科学领域我们应该持续观察，不断探索，勇于发现"黑天鹅"。
①考查形容词。句意：我们对宇宙的许多信念都是基于归纳推理，也被称为科学模型。此处修饰名词model，用形容词scientific(科学的)，作定语。故填scientific。
②考查非谓语动词。句意：这种获得真理的方法需要用对跟随一种理论发展而来的具体事件的观察来解释所观察到的东西。此处与events是被动关系，用过去分词followed(跟随)，作定语。故填followed。
③考查宾语从句。句意：这种获得真理的方法需要用对跟随一种理论发展而来的具体事件的观察来解释所观察到的东西。此处是宾语从句，并且在从句中作主语，应用what引导，指代"观察到的东西"。故填what。
④考查介词。句意：然而，科学家的本质是探究每一种可能性，这意味着他们经常发现以前从未见过或注意到的东西。固定短语inquire into(探究)，后接every possibility作介词into的宾语。故填into。
⑤考查动词语态。句意：事实上，我们的大部分新知识都是通过观察我们从未见过的事物而获得的。此处用谓语动词，句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时态；根据句意及介词by可知，本句要用被动语态be done；又因为主语是不可数名词knowledge(知识) ，所以谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。故填is gained。
⑥考查定语从句。句意：在看到第一只黑天鹅之前，人们假设所有的天鹅都是白色的，这被称为"黑天鹅理论"。此处引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个句子，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
⑦考查让步状语从句。句意：总会有"未知的未知数"，比如黑天鹅，尽管有些人批评那些胆敢暗示它们存在的人。根据句子结构和句意可知，此处使用从属连词though(尽管)引导让步状语从句。故填though。
⑧考查名词。句意：总会有"未知的未知数"，比如黑天鹅，尽管有些人批评那些胆敢暗示它们存在的人。此处作动词suggest的宾语，应用名词existence(存在)，不可数。故填existence。
⑨考查让步状语从句。句意：无论我们了解多少，发现"黑天鹅"的可能性总是微乎其微的。根据句子结构和句意可知，此处使用连接副词however引导让步状语从句。故填However。
⑩考查冠词。句意：无论我们了解多少，发现"黑天鹅"的可能性总是微乎其微的。此处泛指"一种可能性"，应用不定冠词，remote是以辅音音素开头的词，应用a。故填a。
第三部分 写作
第一节
答案：One possible version:
Dear Peter,
I'm glad to hear that you want to buy some gifts for your mother that represent Chinese culture. And I am writing to give you some advice.
Personally, I think you should buy the following two gifts: Qipao and Chinese knotting. Qipao, a very beautiful traditional dress for Chinese women, can show the real beauty of a woman. I am sure your mother will like it very much. What's more, Chinese knotting is also a good choice for you. It is usually hung in the sitting rooms or cars, which represents good luck.
Wish you a good vacation. Please give my best wishes to your family.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
I went out in front of the hundred or so men in the audience and said, "I'd like to give you my performance of the country girl." I started telling them about some little stories and jokes. And the bankers were laughing and applauding. When I ran out of stories, I looked at Jim Walker, and he shook his head. So I went over to the piano and started playing and singing a lot of other old country songs. The men loved it. After I'd sung for a while, and still no speaker, I said to the audience, "Well, let's sing together." The men joined me. Then finally Jim came up to me and said, "He's here. You can stop now." I left and turned the program back over to Jim.
Paragraph 2:
Unexpectedly one of the bankers in the audience, Bob Turner, who knew Harry Stone, recommended me to Harry. He asked Harry Stone if he could give me a chance. He had me come up for an interview. And that changed my whole life. It was the beginning of Minnie Pearl, and, to me, the beginning of a new way to share fun with others and look at things
