12、, a thisty crow (乌鸦)drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. Crows actually do understand how to make water displacement (移位) work to their advantage, experiments show. The results suggest that th

13、e birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders.Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, presented six crows with tubes filled with water. Inside the tubes, a worm or piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow.

14、 In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged several rubber erasers that would sink, and some plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.However, the birds handled awkwardly in experi

15、ments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops; while it took around seven drops to raise

16、 the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didnt realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to rea

17、ch a peanut that was floating in a small amount of water at the bottom.1、How did the crows get the snack in Sarahs experiment?ABy breaking the tube.BBy dropping in erasers.CBy standing on the wood.DBy removing the wood.2、What does the author mean by “the birds handled awkwardly” in paragraph 4?AThey

18、 were unable to tell different shapes.BThey dropped objects only into narrow tubes.CThey were not aware of the snack at first sight.DThey mostly avoided the easier way to get the snack.3、What does the text mainly focus on?AStories of Aesops Fables.BThe development of crows.CCrows intelligence.DHuman

19、-animal communication.4、What can we learn from the passage?ACrows are almost as clever as first-graders in some respects.BCrows understand water displacement completely.CChimps and children are much smarter than crows.DThe story of “The crow and the Pitcher” lacks evidence.22（8分）A typical school day

20、 in the UK starts around 8:30 am. This is often even earlier elsewhere in the world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of t

21、he problems arise because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change as we grow.So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eight plus hours of sleep and react properly to their bodys natural rhythms (规律). There has been a general shift over the pas

22、t 25 years to shorten the school day. This is not at the cost of teaching time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks.Later start times could help teens grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management o

23、f children easier. Supervising (监管) hundreds of children “playing” requires effective staffing (人员配备). And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly supervised must be better.But this means that students barely have enough

24、 time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are thrust into ancient history. And teaching staff also transit from one class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone involved. Anyway, it could also lead to better

25、 achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For teachers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better than that?1、Mow do schools often shorten the school day?AThey increase more holidays.BThey reduce the teaching timeCThey properly ad

26、just children natural rhythmsDThey reduce childrens lunch time and lesson breaks2、Whats the purpose of the children short lesson breaks according to the text?ATo reduce childrens excitementBTo make children quickly take in what they learnedCTo supervise children more easilyDTo make children behave b

27、etter in class3、What can we learn about later school start time from the text?AIt will add to the teachers pressureBIt has always been there for 25 yearsCIt benefits the students onlyDParents may support it4、What can be the best title for the text?AThe benefits of a less stressful dayBHow to solve t

28、eenagers sleep problemCThe benefits of later school start timeDThe reasons why teenagers sleep differently23（8分） Many cities in the world are benefiting from the nocturnal (夜间活动的) activities of a group of people who call themselves guerrilla (游击队的) gardeners. Armed with trowels, spades arid a van fu

29、ll of flowers and plants, guerrilla gardeners turn abandoned urban land into a blaze of colon. In city centre locations where there was mud, weeds and empty plastic bottles, residents often wake up to find that the wasted area has been transformed overnight with brightly-colored bedding plants.In mo

30、st British cities, local governments and police turn a blind eye to the exploit of the gardeners, whose activities are always carried out under cover of nightfall. And so far, there has been nothing but praise from the astonished and delighted local residents when they find their neighborhood transf

31、ormed in such a striking fashion.Not only do the guerilla gardeners beautify neglected places, they also return regularly to water the plants and weed the flower beds. They also make sure that at least some of the plants they bring are evergreens, which means that the area doesnt look dismal in the

32、winter months.The first guerrilla gardener in London was Richard Reynolds, whose day job is at an advertising agency. Mr. Reynolds, a graduate of Oxford University, began his efforts two years ago when he moved to a flat in a tower block in South London. From his balcony, he could see several empty

33、concrete pots, placed by the local government to contain plants but never used. He went out after midnight and filled the pots with plants, and then planted more flowers in the path leading to the entrance to the block.He then set up a website to explain his plan and called upon more gardeners to jo

34、in him. Cash donations flooded in and, more importantly, volunteers rushed to be part of the campaign. Within six months, there were five hundred people in London prepared to come out at very short notice to revitalize (恢复活力) neglected parts of the urban landscape. There are now unofficial but caref

35、ully-organized groups in many cities in Britain and North America and there is a website where would-be urban gardeners can find out the location of the next expedition.1、According to the text, guerrilla gardeners got their names _.Abecause of the residents adviceBfrom the local governmentCfor the n

36、ature of their workDbased on the local cultures2、These guerrilla gardeners do their work _.Aat the request of the governmentBnearby their houseCoften in return for others helpDof their own free will3、Why do the guerrilla gardeners often return to their former working place?ATo look after these plant

37、s.BTo enjoy these beautiful flowers.CTo help plants live through winter months.DTo change the types of these plants.4、Richard Reynolds decided to fill the pots with plants with the purpose of _.Amaking the neighborhood more beautifulBagreeing with his own jobCadvertising some products in his agencyD

38、killing his spare time5、It can be inferred from the text that these guerrilla gardeners _.Aare mainly from the United KingdomBwill later get well paidCare still not accepted by the local peopleDbecome more and more organized24（8分）Electric devices can seem like a “third party” in some relationships b

39、ecause some partners spent more time on them than with each other.When Amanda Gao, a 26-year-old white collar worker in Beijing, went to a hotpot restaurant with her boyfriend on Friday night several weeks ago, she expected that they would have a good time together. To her disappointment, however, i

40、t did not turn out that later. As soon as they were led to their seats and she began to order dishes, he buried himself in his mobile phone.“It seemed that his phone was making its way between us. A date that should have belonged to us turned into one where my boyfriend dated a third party and I fel

41、t left out.” Gao said. Some people, like her, have found electronics have been sabotaging(破坏) their romantic relationships.A study, published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture, in April, 2017, questioned nearly 200 college aged adults who were in committed(真诚的) relationships to repo

42、rt on their and their partners smartphone dependency. The results showed people who were more dependent on their phones were less sure about their relationships, and people considered their partners excessively(过度地) dependent on their devices were less satisfied in their relationship.Lin Yuan, a rel

43、ationship advisor in Beijing, noted that as more and more electronics come out and spice up peoples lives, they are at the same time becoming a third party in relationships, especially for young people.Lin said she knew of some people who suggest that electronics should be kept out of bedrooms, whic

44、h she considered challenging and hard to be put into practice for most couples. She recommended that if people are feeling neglected in their relationship, they need to respectfully let their partners know their feeling. “Communication is always the best and the most efficient way.” she said.1、What

45、is Gaos feeling when entering the restaurant with her boyfriend?AExpectant. BDisappointed.CAnnoyed. DUneasy.2、Which of the following may Lin Yuan agree with?AGaos boyfriend must be addicted to playing games.BMost couples can practice keeping electronics out of bedrooms.CPartners should communicate m

46、ore to understand each other better.DCouples should restrict the use of electronics to avoid possible problems.3、Why was the case of Amanda Gao mentioned?ATo explain who the “third party” is.BTo stress the importance of electronic devices.CTo make advisors know more about the matter.DTo introduce pe

47、oples dependence on electronics.4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AA third partyelectronic devicesBAre electronic devices killing romance?CDo smart phones ruin partnership?DCouples and smart phones25（10分） When 12 girls from San Fernando high school in California received a

48、grant (助学金) to develop an invention to solve a real-world problem, they decided to create a solar-powered shelter. Now for over a year, the girls have been working after school and over the winter and spring breaks to complete their project. “They have this amazing drive that Ive never seen before,

49、” said Violet Mardirosian, a math teacher at San Fernando High. “I thought at the beginning that maybe some of them would give up, saying I didnt expect this much work, but they dont. Theyre just working hard and theyre not giving up.”Living in a low-income community (社区), the girls have seen the pr

50、oblem of homelessness first-hand, which is why they chose that population to create a product for. Many of them are also from immigrant families and hope the solar-powered shelter might help refugees(难民). Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia said that while she had no engineering experience, the girls fi

51、gured out as a team how to create the prototype (雏形), using how-to videos and books that taught them how to code. But the most important lesson shes learned over the course of the project isnt technical. “Ive learned a lot about helping others, helping the community and showing a better world to oth

52、er people,” she said.The girls have been invited to MIT to show their invention. Mardirosian says all the participating students have expressed interest in going into STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields and that students from lower grades are already expressing interest in be

53、ing involved next year. She says, “Many of them didnt think about engineering before. They thought maybe theyre not made out to be an engineer. But working together, now they realize theyre all needed in this field. Everyone has found their importance in this picture.”1、Why did Mardirosian think som

54、e girls would quit the subject?AIt was not practical in real life.BIt demanded a lot of time and energy.CIt was not supported by their math teacher.DIt required a lot of money and expert knowledge.2、Why did the girls decide to create a solar-powered shelter?ATo save energy.BTo win a scholarship.CTo

56、dependent.BIt should be continued next year.CIt inspired girls interest in STEM.DIt showed the importance of engineering.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项26（30分）完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Once upon a time in a land far far away, ther
