Every auntie I know has a kitchen drawer containing (容纳) a carefully kept collection of yogurt dabbas. Dabba is an Indian word for “box”, but it refers to all kinds of containers, too. Dabbas live many lives: the containers holding the yogurt we eat every day are saved and washed and washed again.
The reused dabbas end up storing food and pot luck contributions. They pass from house to house, living in their drawer or the fridge. Sometimes they are even returned to their original (最初的) owners full of some other delicious food. This is a fairly advanced skill and one only the elder aunties manage-recognizing their dabba from their friends’ seemingly same container is nothing short of miraculous (奇迹般的).
But just as every auntie values her dabbas, every uncle hates them. “How many of these things can you possibly need ” my father used to ask my mother, extremely annoyed. She would shoot him a look that would surely have killed a weaker man and place her dabba carefully back.
When I went away to university, my mom used to cook food and send it to me with strict instructions to wash the dabbas and bring them home. I felt awkward about my dabbas — why did we need to save these things I weighed the choices: if I threw away the dabbas, would she still send me food I knew the answer was yes, but it wasn’t a risk I was prepared to take.
Finally, I found my way to Halifax, where I now have a family of my own. Like my mother, I’m also the proud owner of a rich dabba collection, which I guard seriously. My husband is an American. Dealing with cultural differences is surely an adventure. The other night, I saw him throw my dabbas into the recycling bin. I narrowed my eyes a little as I fished them out, washed them up and replaced them in their drawer. I was practicing my mother’s death look.
4. What does the advanced skill in paragraph 2 suggest
A. The elder aunties value their dabbas a lot.
B. Dabbas strengthen the ties between friends.
C. It isn’t hard to tell the difference between dabbas.
D. The elder aunties have unique skills in preserving dabbas.
5. How did the author deal with the dabbas sent by her mom when in university
A. She threw them away.
B. She sold them for money.
C. She sent them to a recycling center.
D. She washed them and brought them home.
6. How does the author sound in the last paragraph
A. Humorous. B. Confused.
C. Curious. D. Frightened.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Hidden Functions of Dabbas
B. The Adventure of Dabbas
C. The Many Lives of Dabbas
D. Mom’s Collection of Dabbas
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Dabba在印度语中是“盒子”的意思，但它也指各种各样的容器。文章讲述了dabbas对印度女人的意义及作者和Dabbas之间的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This is a fairly advanced skill and one only the elder aunties manage-recognizing their dabba from their friends’ seemingly same container is nothing short of miraculous (奇迹般的). (这是一项相当高级的技能，只有年长的阿姨才能做到——从朋友们看似相同的容器中认出自己的dabba简直是奇迹)”可推知，第2段中的高级技巧表明，年长的阿姨们非常看重她们的dabbas。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“When I went away to university, my mom used to cook food and send it to me with strict instructions to wash the dabbas and bring them home.(当我离开家去上大学时，我妈妈经常做饭寄给我，并严格要求我把dabbas洗干净带回家)”和“I weighed the choices: if I threw away the dabbas, would she still send me food I knew the answer was yes, but it wasn’t a risk I was prepared to take.(我权衡了选择：如果我扔掉dabbas，她还会给我送食物吗？我知道答案是肯定的，但我不愿意冒这个险)”可推知，在大学时，作者把妈妈寄来的dabbas洗干净，然后把它们带回家。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The other night, I saw him throw my dabbas into the recycling bin. I narrowed my eyes a little as I fished them out, washed them up and replaced them in their drawer. I was practicing my mother’s death look. (那天晚上，我看见他把我的dabbas扔进了回收箱。我眯起眼睛把它们拿出来，洗干净，放回抽屉里。我在练习我母亲的死亡表情)”推知，作者在最后一段听起来很幽默。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Dabba is an Indian word for “box”, but it refers to all kinds of containers, too. Dabbas live many lives: the containers holding the yogurt we eat every day are saved and washed and washed again.(Dabba在印度语中是“盒子”的意思，但它也指各种各样的容器。Dabbas过着多种生活：我们每天吃的酸奶容器都被保存下来，洗了又洗)”及下文叙述可知，文章讲述了dabbas对印度女人的意义及作者和Dabbas之间的故事。由此可知，C. The Many Lives of Dabbas适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。
C
As climate change quickly advances, many Middle Eastern countries are making the change from oil-based economies to ones that attract people from around the world-for travelling, business, work or to live.
One such example is NEOM to be built in Saudi Arabia. A key part of NEOM is “The Line”, an AS725 billion futuristic city designed to house 9 million people. It is a mirrored wall-like building 200 meters wide and 500 meters tall. To be built in north-western Tabuk province, the project will spread 170 kilometres from the Red Sea across deserts, mountains and valleys.
At first look, the project appears environmentally impressive. The city area is no more than 100 metres from any point in the city. A high-speed electric public transport service makes sure every part of The Line is within 20 minutes away. Unfortunately, as in many high-rise buildings with a large population inside, a vertical transportation system would be needed, for it is equal to a 125-floor building.
The project costs also seem OK at USS55,000 per person. Let’s say this is achievable in a country like Saudi Arabia and only covers infrastructure. Even so, it remains to be seen how super-high-speed transport and most advanced infrastructure and services within the hugest building ever built can be cost-effective.
The Line is planned for green living. Energy comes from renewable sources, waste water is recycled, and it owns the latest “smart city” and mixed-use building technologies. Car ownership is avoided in favour of walking, cycling and public transport.
However, the materials to be used and the building of such a big project could be very harmful to the environment. The plan says no one would be more than two minutes from nature. But does this include the waiting times for a lift Without careful design, a high dependence on vertical transportation may ruin the pleasure of walkable or bicycle-friendly areas.
8. Why will “The Line” be built in Saudi Arabia
A. To take a step towards green economies.
B. To attract more tourists from all over the world.
C. To house the increasing population in Saudi Arabia.
D To make preparations for a project known as NEOM.
9. How does the author introduce “The Line” in paragraph 2
A. By giving an example. B. By expressing opinions.
C. By providing numbers. D. By making a comparison.
10. What do we know about “The Line”
A. It will possibly cost AS725 million to build.
B. It will be completely environmentally friendly.
C. It will require a vertical transportation system.
D. It will be a 125-floor mirrored wall-like building.
11. What attitude does the author take towards “The Line”
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Hopeful.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了沙特阿拉伯建造“The Line”来促进绿色经济转变，介绍了“The Line”建的一些特性和存在问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As climate change quickly advances, many Middle Eastern countries are making the change from oil-based economies to ones that attract people from around the world-for travelling, business, work or to live.(随着气候变化的迅速发展，许多中东国家正在从以石油为基础的经济转变为吸引世界各地的人来旅游、经商、工作或生活的经济)”以及第二段中“One such example is NEOM to be built in Saudi Arabia. A key part of NEOM is “The Line”, an AS725 billion futuristic city designed to house 9 million people.(在沙特阿拉伯建造的NEOM就是这样一个例子。NEOM的一个关键部分是“The Line”，这是一个7250亿澳元的未来城市，旨在容纳900万人)”可知，“The Line”建在沙特阿拉伯是为了向绿色经济迈进一步。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One such example is NEOM to be built in Saudi Arabia. A key part of NEOM is “The Line”, an AS725 billion futuristic city designed to house 9 million people. It is a mirrored wall-like building 200 meters wide and 500 meters tall. To be built in north-western Tabuk province, the project will spread 170 kilometres from the Red Sea across deserts, mountains and valleys.(在沙特阿拉伯建造的NEOM就是这样一个例子。NEOM的一个关键部分是“The Line”，这是一个7250亿澳元的未来城市，旨在容纳900万人。这是一座宽200米、高500米的镜面建筑。该项目将建在西北部的塔布克省，从红海延伸170公里，跨越沙漠、山脉和山谷)”可推知，作者在第二段中通过提供数字来介绍“The Line”。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unfortunately, as in many high-rise buildings with a large population inside, a vertical transportation system would be needed, for it is equal to a 125-floor building.(不幸的是，就像许多高层建筑一样，里面有大量的人口，需要一个垂直的交通系统，因为它相当于125层的建筑)”可知，“The Line”需要一个垂直运输系统。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the materials to be used and the building of such a big project could be very harmful to the environment. The plan says no one would be more than two minutes from nature. But does this include the waiting times for a lift Without careful design, a high dependence on vertical transportation may ruin the pleasure of walkable or bicycle-friendly areas.(然而，使用的材料和建造这样一个大项目可能对环境非常有害。该计划说，任何人离大自然的距离都不会超过两分钟。但这包括等电梯的时间吗？如果没有精心的设计，高度依赖垂直交通可能会破坏适合步行或自行车的区域的乐趣)”可推知，作者对“The Line”持怀疑态度。故选B。
D
If you’ve ever watched a dog sleep, you’ve probably wondered if animals dream. It’s a difficult question. We still don’t know exactly why humans dream, or why dreams might be important. Studying animal dreams is even harder.
Animal dreams might be very interesting. “I think dreaming gives us a way to relate many human cognitive abilities to animals, such as emotion, memory, and even imagination,“ says David M. Pena-Guzmán, who recently authored When Animals Dream: The Hidden World of Animal Consciousness.
We know monkeys have emotions, but consider spiders, which a recent study suggests may experience REM-like sleep and even dreams. The thought of spider dreams sounds outlandish, but it may be true.
“We have this idea of dreams being an imaginary process with something crazy in it,” says Matthew Wilson, a neurobiologist at MIT. “But when we look into animal models, we’re simply trying to understand what goes on during sleep that might influence learning, memory, and behavior.”
Cats were some of the first animals studied in dream research. Michel Jouvet, a pioneer of sleep studies, proved that cats dreamed in the 1960s.
In REM sleep, human muscles don’t move much despite the brain activity that powers our dreams. The body doesn’t act out our dreams no matter how real they seem. Jouvet learned that, in cats, a part of the brain called the pons seemed to control REM sleep and produce partial paralysis. By removing parts of the pons, Jouvet found with their brains deep in REM sleep the cats began to move as if awake, hunting, jumping and fighting against unseen threats. This provided a window into what was happening in the cats’ sleeping brains.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if actual dreams were found in animals, and I think finally we’ll be able to show that scientifically,” Stanford neurobiologist Philippe Mourrain says. “We’re not the only species able to remember and learn.”
12. What is the point of studying animal dreams
A. To improve animals’ sleeping quality. B. To find a scientific way to raise animals.
C. To learn about animals’ cognitive abilities. D. To understand the importance of humans’ dreams.
13. What does the underlined word “outlandish” mean in paragraph 3
A. Special. B. Strange. C. Meaningful. D. Reasonable.
14. What can we learn from Michel Jouvet’s research on cats’ dreaming
A. Cats dream in a way different from humans.
B. The pons is what keeps cats still in REM sleep.
C. Dreams have very little to do with cats’ behavior.
D. Cats are more active in sleep than when they’re awake.
15. What does Philippe Mourrain think of animal dreams
A. They will be proved by further research.
B. They are more confusing than people think.
C. The present research is still far from satisfactory.
D. There is a long way to go before they’re understood.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家研究发现动物也会做梦，且研究动物梦可以了解动物的认知能力。文章介绍了相关研究和发现。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““I think dreaming gives us a way to relate many human cognitive abilities to animals, such as emotion, memory, and even imagination,“ says David M. Pena-Guzmán, who recently authored When Animals Dream: The Hidden World of Animal Consciousness.(“我认为做梦为我们提供了一种将人类的许多认知能力与动物联系起来的方法，比如情感、记忆甚至想象力，”David M. Pena-Guzmán说，他最近撰写了《当动物做梦：动物意识的隐藏世界》一书)”和最后一段“We’re not the only species able to remember and learn.(我们不是唯一能够记忆和学习的物种)”可知，研究动物梦的意义是为了了解动物的认知能力。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“We know monkeys have emotions, but consider spiders, which a recent study suggests may experience REM-like sleep and even dreams.(我们知道猴子有情绪，但想想蜘蛛吧，最近的一项研究表明，蜘蛛可能会经历类似像快速动眼期的睡眠，甚至做梦)”以及“The thought of spider dreams sounds”可知，研究表明蜘蛛甚至会做梦，这听起来是很奇怪的。故画线词意思是“奇怪的”。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Jouvet learned that, in cats, a part of the brain called the pons seemed to control REM sleep and produce partial paralysis.(Jouvet了解到，在猫的大脑中，一个叫做脑桥的部分似乎控制着快速眼动睡眠，并导致部分瘫痪)”可知，脑桥使猫保持快速眼动睡眠。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中““I wouldn’t be surprised if actual dreams were found in animals, and I think finally we’ll be able to show that scientifically,” Stanford neurobiologist Philippe Mourrain says. (斯坦福大学神经生物学家Philippe Mourrain说：“如果在动物身上发现了真正的梦，我不会感到惊讶，我认为最终我们将能够科学地证明这一点。”)”可知，菲利普·莫瑞恩认为动物梦将在进一步的研究中得到证实。故选A。

Every auntie I know has a kitchen drawer containing (容纳) a carefully kept collection of yogurt dabbas. Dabba is an Indian word for “box”, but it refers to all kinds of containers, too. Dabbas live many lives: the containers holding the yogurt we eat every day are saved and washed and washed again.
The reused dabbas end up storing food and pot luck contributions. They pass from house to house, living in their drawer or the fridge. Sometimes they are even returned to their original (最初) owners full of some other delicious food. This is a fairly advanced skill and one only the elder aunties manage-recognizing their dabba from their friends’ seemingly same container is nothing short of miraculous (奇迹般的).
But just as every auntie values her dabbas, every uncle hates them. “How many of these things can you possibly need ” my father used to ask my mother, extremely annoyed. She would shoot him a look that would surely have killed a weaker man and place her dabba carefully back.
When I went away to university, my mom used to cook food and send it to me with strict instructions to wash the dabbas and bring them home. I felt awkward about my dabbas — why did we need to save these things I weighed the choices: if I threw away the dabbas, would she still send me food I knew the answer was yes, but it wasn’t a risk I was prepared to take.
Finally, I found my way to Halifax, where I now have a family of my own. Like my mother, I’m also the proud owner of a rich dabba collection, which I guard seriously. My husband is an American. Dealing with cultural differences is surely an adventure. The other night, I saw him throw my dabbas into the recycling bin. I narrowed my eyes a little as I fished them out, washed them up and replaced them in their drawer. I was practicing my mother’s death look.
4. What does the advanced skill in paragraph 2 suggest
A. The elder aunties value their dabbas a lot.
B. Dabbas strengthen the ties between friends.
C. It isn’t hard to tell the difference between dabbas.
D. The elder aunties have unique skills in preserving dabbas.
5. How did the author deal with the dabbas sent by her mom when in university
A. She threw them away.
B. She sold them for money.
C. She sent them to a recycling center.
D. She washed them and brought them home.
6. How does the author sound in the last paragraph
A. Humorous. B. Confused.
C. Curious. D. Frightened.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Hidden Functions of Dabbas
B. The Adventure of Dabbas
C. The Many Lives of Dabbas
D. Mom’s Collection of Dabbas
C
As climate change quickly advances, many Middle Eastern countries are making the change from oil-based economies to ones that attract people from around the world-for travelling, business, work or to live.
One such example is NEOM to be built in Saudi Arabia. A key part of NEOM is “The Line”, an AS725 billion futuristic city designed to house 9 million people. It is a mirrored wall-like building 200 meters wide and 500 meters tall. To be built in north-western Tabuk province, the project will spread 170 kilometres from the Red Sea across deserts, mountains and valleys.
At first look, the project appears environmentally impressive. The city area is no more than 100 metres from any point in the city. A high-speed electric public transport service makes sure every part of The Line is within 20 minutes away. Unfortunately, as in many high-rise buildings with a large population inside, a vertical transportation system would be needed, for it is equal to a 125-floor building.
The project costs also seem OK at USS55,000 per person. Let’s say this is achievable in a country like Saudi Arabia and only covers infrastructure. Even so, it remains to be seen how super-high-speed transport and most advanced infrastructure and services within the hugest building ever built can be cost-effective.
The Line is planned for green living. Energy comes from renewable sources, waste water is recycled, and it owns the latest “smart city” and mixed-use building technologies. Car ownership is avoided in favour of walking, cycling and public transport.
However, the materials to be used and the building of such a big project could be very harmful to the environment. The plan says no one would be more than two minutes from nature. But does this include the waiting times for a lift Without careful design, a high dependence on vertical transportation may ruin the pleasure of walkable or bicycle-friendly areas.
8. Why will “The Line” be built in Saudi Arabia
A. To take a step towards green economies.
B. To attract more tourists from all over the world.
C. To house the increasing population in Saudi Arabia.
D. To make preparations for a project known as NEOM.
9. How does the author introduce “The Line” in paragraph 2
A. By giving an example. B. By expressing opinions.
C. By providing numbers. D. By making a comparison.
10. What do we know about “The Line”
A. It will possibly cost AS725 million to build.
B. It will be completely environmentally friendly.
C It will require a vertical transportation system.
D. It will be a 125-floor mirrored wall-like building.
11. What attitude does the author take towards “The Line”
A Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Hopeful.
D
If you’ve ever watched a dog sleep, you’ve probably wondered if animals dream. It’s a difficult question. We still don’t know exactly why humans dream, or why dreams might be important. Studying animal dreams is even harder.
Animal dreams might be very interesting. “I think dreaming gives us a way to relate many human cognitive abilities to animals, such as emotion, memory, and even imagination,“ says David M. Pena-Guzmán, who recently authored When Animals Dream: The Hidden World of Animal Consciousness.
We know monkeys have emotions, but consider spiders, which a recent study suggests may experience REM-like sleep and even dreams. The thought of spider dreams sounds outlandish, but it may be true.
“We have this idea of dreams being an imaginary process with something crazy in it,” says Matthew Wilson, a neurobiologist at MIT. “But when we look into animal models, we’re simply trying to understand what goes on during sleep that might influence learning, memory, and behavior.”
Cats were some of the first animals studied in dream research. Michel Jouvet, a pioneer of sleep studies, proved that cats dreamed in the 1960s.
In REM sleep, human muscles don’t move much despite the brain activity that powers our dreams. The body doesn’t act out our dreams no matter how real they seem. Jouvet learned that, in cats, a part of the brain called the pons seemed to control REM sleep and produce partial paralysis. By removing parts of the pons, Jouvet found with their brains deep in REM sleep the cats began to move as if awake, hunting, jumping and fighting against unseen threats. This provided a window into what was happening in the cats’ sleeping brains.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if actual dreams were found in animals, and I think finally we’ll be able to show that scientifically,” Stanford neurobiologist Philippe Mourrain says. “We’re not the only species able to remember and learn.”
12. What is the point of studying animal dreams
A. To improve animals’ sleeping quality. B. To find a scientific way to raise animals.
C. To learn about animals’ cognitive abilities. D. To understand the importance of humans’ dreams.
13. What does the underlined word “outlandish” mean in paragraph 3
A. Special. B. Strange. C. Meaningful. D. Reasonable.
14. What can we learn from Michel Jouvet’s research on cats’ dreaming
A. Cats dream in a way different from humans.
B. The pons is what keeps cats still in REM sleep.
C. Dreams have very little to do with cats’ behavior.
D. Cats are more active in sleep than when they’re awake.
15. What does Philippe Mourrain think of animal dreams
A. They will be proved by further research.
B. They are more confusing than people think.
C. The present research is still far from satisfactory.
D. There is a long way to go before they’re understood.
