trees.” 即当你离开时如何锁自行车。故A项正确。2解析:选A。正误判断题。Marking部分提到“The security marking of your bike .police find your bicycle.”,由此可知security marking能帮助警察找到你被偷的自行车,但不能保证贼不偷你的车子。故A项表述错误。3解析:选C。推理判断题。根据文章最后两段提到的“There are many companies that will offer the security marking to your bicycle .computer database.”和“Keep a record of the bicycle by yourself:its production place,model and registration number.”可知,文章建议你可以自己记录自行车的产地、型号和注册号,还可以让一个提供security marking的公司做记录。故C项正确。4解析:选D。细节理解题。根据文章最后三段中的“Your postcode and your house or flat number should be included and clearly recorded.”“They will then store your registration number .computer database.”和“its production place,model .photograph of it”可知,A、B、C三项的信息都需要记录,D项在文中未提及。故选D项。BAt the age of 13,a boy living in Sierra Leone created batteries and generators (发电机) using materials he picked up around the house or from dustbins.He has impressed experts in the US.Kelvin Doe,now 19,is a completely selftaught engineer.He manages his own fullystaffed community radio station in Sierra Leone where he broadcasts news and plays music under the name “DJ Focus”The radio station is powered by a generator made by himself,while a simple antenna (天线) lets his neighborhood listen in.“They call me DJ Focus because I believe if you focus,you can invent something perfectly,” Doe said.MIT,a respected US university,discovered Doe during Innovate Salone,a national high school innovation (创新) challenge held in Sierra Leone by an international organization called Global Minimum.Doctoral student David Sengeh recognized his skills right away.“Its very inspirational,” Sengeh said.“He created things just because he needed them.”Before attending Innovate Salone,Doe had never been more than 10 miles from home.With Sengehs help,he journeyed to New York for the 2012 World Maker Faire,where he joined a “Meet the Young Makers” discussion group with four American inventors.Does reputation only promised to grow from here.Soon he got an opportunity to practice in the International Development Initiative at MIT and became a guest host at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences,where he has gained even more practical knowledge to help his community.“Whatever things Ive learned here,I will share it with my friends,colleagues and loved ones,” Doe said.5The materials Doe used are Abought cheaplyBobtained easilyCmade by himself Ddonated by others6Doe made inventions mainly to Asatisfy his demandBsell them for moneyCturn waste into useful thingsDattract the attention of experts7Which of the following can best describe Doe?APatient,skillful and easygoing.BKind,clever and singleminded.CModest,helpful and hardworking.DProductive,brave and warmhearted.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。Kelvin Doe自学成才,利用简单易得的材料制作了很多东西满足自己和身边人的需要。5解析:选B。推理判断题。根据第一段中的using materials he picked up around the house or from dustbins不难推测,Doe利用的材料都简单易得。6解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第五段中的He created things just because he needed them.可知,他的发明创造只是因为他需要它们。故选A。7解析:选B。推理判断题。根据文中描述Doe帮社区建立广播站、被称为DJ Focus以及参加创新挑战赛等可知,Doe为人善良、做事专心并聪明伶俐。CSome people are like homing pigeons: Drop them off anywhere,and theyll find their way around.Other people,though,cant tell when theyre holding a map upside down.Are the directionally challenged just bad learners?Not all of your navigational skills are learned.Theres evidence that your sense of direction is innate.Your brain has special navigational neuronsheaddirection cells,place cells,and grid cellsand they help program your internal GPS when youre just a baby.In 2010,scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rats neural activity in their brains.Although the rats were newborns,the researchers discovered that their headdirection cells (which help them recognize the direction theyre facing) were fully mature.The rats,it seemed,were born with a sense of direction.And they hadnt even opened their eyes yet!Humans,of course,are not rats.But the hippocampus the brain region responsible for navigationis similar in most mammals.If the rats compass develops this way,then its likely that a humans compass does,too.If were born with a sense of direction,then why are some people so good at getting lost? The scientists found that the two other cellsplace and grid cellsdeveloped within the first month.Place cells are thought to help us form a mental map,while grid cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places.The two cells interactand thats where the trouble might be.People who took part in a 2013 study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places.Monitoring their brains,the scientists found that grid cells helped the gamers keep track of where they wereeven without landmarks.According to researcher Michael Kahan,differences in how grid cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others.8What do “some people” in Paragraph 1 refer to?APoor learners.BHoming pigeon lovers.CPeople good at using maps.DPeople with a good sense of direction.9What can we learn from Paragraph 3?ARats hippocampus is different from that of humans.BRats have a natural ability to recognize directions.CRats usually find their way without opening their eyes.DBaby rats have as many headdirection cells as grownups.10What can be inferred from the text about our navigational neurons?APlace cells let us know how to read a map.BGrid cells help us reach the place we are going to.CThey help us use a compass when we lose our way.DPlace and grid cells grow later than headdirection cells.11Why do some people get lost so easily?AThey cant remember landmarks.BThey are unfamiliar with new places.CTheir grid cells cant work very well.DTheir ability to follow directions is poor.【语篇解读】科学家发现,老鼠天生就有方向感。由此猜测,人类天生也有方向感。研究还发现,定位细胞对人们的方向感有很大影响。8解析:选D。推理判断题。根据首段首句可知,有些人像信鸽一样,在任何地方丢下他们,他们都能找到回来的路。因此,some people是指方向感好的人。9解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句可知,老鼠天生就有辨别方向的能力。10解析:选D。推理判断题。根据第五段第二句可知,位置和网格细胞在第一个月才发展。而上文提到人类在出生时就已经有方向感了。由此可知,位置和网格细胞的生长晚于headdirection细胞的生长。11解析:选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,有些人容易迷路是因为他们的网格细胞工作得不理想。.七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Holiday gift buying can feel a little empty,when all of those endless lists,long lines at the shopping center and dollars spent lead to a 5minute excitement of flying wrapping paper.1. The following tips can help make gift giving more meaningful for both the giver and the receiver.1Know the personThe most important thing in the exchanging of gifts is that it shows you really know the person well,and you really care about him.2. 2Donate in their name3 Research suggests that happier people give more to others,and that giving more makes people happier.Moreover,charityrelated happiness is highest when people give in a way that promotes social connection.So,try giving to the less fortunate in someones name this holiday season.3Give handmade goods or handmedowns4 A study suggests that people feel that homemade items show more love,and love is what they want to express to the gift receiver.Family heirlooms (传家宝) may be another good gift option.A 2009 study found that when families hand down even a very depersonalized thingmoneyto the generations,the symbolic value of the cash is greater than the numerical value alone.4Provide chances for participationIf theres a golden rule of gifts,though,its this:5. People who receive experiential gifts,such as concert tickets or a zoo membership,feel more connected to the gift giver than people who received material gifts.ABut it doesnt have to be that way.BGive experiences rather than objects.CThe new and storebought is not always best.DThat is always beyond their expectation.EThat means catering to anothers pleasure.FGiving gifts to friends or to charity is linked to happiness.GStart listing every person you plan to give a holiday gift to.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了让送礼物变得更加有意义的方法和策略。1解析:选A。根据语境可知,上下文表示逻辑上的转折关系,所以选A项。2解析:选E。由本段标题“1.Know the person”和本段的整体内容可推知,了解对方,那么送的礼物就会迎合对方的心意,所以选E项。cater to意为“迎合”。3解析:选F。根据本段标题“2.Donate in their name”和文中的“charityrelated happiness”可知,选F项。4解析:选C。根据本段标题“3.Give handmade goods or handmedowns”可推知,从商店里买的新礼物并不一定是最好的,手工制作的东西会显得更有爱,所以选C项。5解析:选B。根据下文的“People who receive experiential gifts,such as concert tickets or a zoo membership,feel more connected to the gift giver than people who received material gifts”可知,让收礼物的人去体验比送实物的效果更好,所以选B项。Part 2阅读完形组合准度练(建议用时40).阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2分,满分16分)AIn a special center in Florida,a capuchin monkey(卷尾猴)is born.It is named Winston,and it will be trained to be a Helping Hands monkey.Helping Hands is a program that trains monkeys to be helpers for quadriplegics(四肢瘫痪者)Winstons preparation begins soon after its birth when it is placed with a foster (代养的) family.The foster family spends a lot of time hugging Winston.This close human contact (接触) is important to help it develop a strong attachment to people.Winston already has a lot of characteristics that will be useful to quadriplegics.Like humans,Winston has hands and it can pick up something as small as a piece of thread.It has a tail that it can use to carry objects,hold on to things,and keep its balance.Monkeys such as Winston are also intelligent and they learn the same way human babies do.Being reared in a human environment will make Winston a better pupil when its real training begins.When Winston is four years old,the foster family must return it to the training center.At the center,Winston has a patient trainer named Lisa.First she teaches Winston to fetch.She always uses the same combination of words when she wants it to perform a particular task.Each time it obeys her command,Lisa gives it a grape.Winston learns that it will get a reward if it exhibits the correct response.After six months Winston can insert a videotape into the VCR.It can go to the refrigerator,get its owner a drink,and pick up anything that is dropped.It is ready to work in the home of a quadriplegic.1Winston lives with a foster family to Aget accustomed to the conditions it will live in laterBget prepared for the babies it will play withClearn about quadriplegics

strong attachment to people.可知,卷尾猴与人类的亲密接触是为了将来更好地为四肢瘫痪者服务,也能更好地适应它日后所处的人类社会的家庭生活。2解析:选A。词义猜测题。根据第二段中的it is placed with a foster family以及该词后的in a human environment可猜测,卷尾猴是被“养育(reared)”在人类环境里的。3解析:选C。推理判断题。根据第四段中卷尾猴所受到的训练以及最后一段提到的It is ready to work in the home of a quadriplegic.可知,卷尾猴被送回训练中心就是要让它学会如何去帮助四肢瘫痪者。4解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第四段中的Each time it obeys her command,Lisa gives it a grape.Winston learns that it will get a reward if it exhibits the correct response.可知,卷尾猴接受的是反应和奖赏训练。B(2017江西重点中学盟校第一次联考)Based on new analysis,we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe.Geographers predict that within the next eighty years,current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear.Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter,forcing animals to migrate (迁徙)north.Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases.Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense.If the changes come too quickly,animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.According to Science Daily,a new study predicts that by the year 2100,many of todays familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in todays world.It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these farreaching consequences for the whole world.The planet itself has been showing signs of change.In 2004,a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008,thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake.Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.Within just the last few months,new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought.At this point,it doesnt matter what is causing it,but rather,what can be done about it.Whats more,our world is getting more and more unstable every year.There is war and threat of war everywhere.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.However,other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this.No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.5What is the major function of Paragraph 1?ATo arouse the readers concern.BTo introduce the theme of the whole passage.CTo summarize the whole passage.DTo state how climate changes.6What is the authors purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?ATo show major changes will take place on the planet.BTo remind people to prevent future earthquakes.CTo show the damage earthquakes caused.DTo tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.7Which of the following is NOT true of climate changes effects?AAnimal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.BIt could lead to the spread of diseases.CCurrent world climate zones could shift and completely disappear.DNatural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.8What can be inferred from the passage?AAnimals and plants wont die out as long as climate changes slowly.BTheres enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.CThe world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.DThe earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了未来气候的变化对人和动物的生存环境的影响。5解析:选B。推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知,最新研究数据表明,即将到来的世界气候的巨大变化将严重影响社会和环境。而接下来的几段则是围绕气候变化对社会和环境具体的影响而展开的,由此可推知,第一段主要是介绍文章的主题。故选B项。6解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“The planet itself has been showing signs of change.”可知,列举最近地球上所发生的地震是为了说明地球已有发生重大变化的迹象。故选A项。7解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Geographers predict that .completely disappear.”可知,地理学家预计在未来的八十年中,现在的世界气候带可能会改变,有的可能会完全消失。C项中说世界气候带可能会变化并会完全消失,与文中描述不符。故选C项。8解析:选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知,地球并不是唯一一个在经历气候变化
