D.Aninstructionbooklet.【答案】12.A13.C14.D15.A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于凤头鹦鹉的研究，研究发现凤头鹦鹉可以结合多种工具来完成一项复杂的任务，它们可以使用一套工具，甚至可以在情况需要时随身携带工具。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Inthefirstexperiment,thebirdshadtoobtainseedsinaboxfrombehindaclearmembrane(薄膜)byusingashort,pointysticktobreakopenthebarrier,beforefishingouttheseedswithalongplasticstraw(吸管).(在第一个实验中，鸟类必须用一根短而尖的棍子打破透明薄膜后面的盒子，然后用一根长长的塑料吸管把种子捞出来)”可知，在第一个实验中，凤头鹦鹉需要用棍子打破了薄膜。故选A。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Next,researchersconductedthesecondexperimentusingseparateboxeswithandwithoutamembrane.(接下来，研究人员使用带膜和不带膜的单独盒子进行了第二次实验)”和“Allofthecockatooswereabletorecognizewhenasingletoolwassufficient.(所有的凤头鹦鹉都能识别出什么时候一个工具就足够了)”可知，凤头鹦鹉知道，如果没有薄膜，一根塑料吸管就足够了。故选C。【14题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Cockatoos(凤头鹦鹉)cancombinemultipletoolstocompleteacomplextask,anachievementscientistspreviouslythoughtonlychimpanzeesandhumanscoulddo,anewstudyreveals.(一项新的研究显示，凤头鹦鹉可以结合多种工具来完成一项复杂的任务，科学家们以前认为只有黑猩猩和人类才能做到这一点)”和“InarecentstudypublishedinthejournalCurrentBiology,researchersshowedthatcockatooscouldusetoolsasaset(在最近发表在《当代生物学》杂志上的一项研究中，研究人员表明，凤头鹦鹉可以使用一套工具)”可推知，文章报道了一项关于凤头鹦鹉的研究，研究发现凤头鹦鹉可以结合多种工具来完成一项复杂的任务，它们可以使用一套工具。所以“CockatoosKnowWhentoUseaToolsettoGettheJobDone(凤头鹦鹉知道何时使用一套工具来完成工作)”是最佳标题。故选D。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“InarecentstudypublishedinthejournalCurrentBiology,researchersshowedthatcockatooscouldusetoolsasaset,andcanevencarrythetoolsaroundwiththemwhenthesituationcallsforit.(在最近发表在《当代生物学》杂志上的一项研究中，研究人员表明，凤头鹦鹉可以使用工具作为一套工具，甚至可以在情况需要时随身携带工具)”可知，文章介绍了一项关于凤头鹦鹉的研究，因此它最有可能来自一份与科学研究相关的报告。故选A。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Inthepast,animalsheltersinSingaporewerehorribleplaces.Mostofthemwereveryoldbuildingsthatweredirty,noisyandcrowded.____16____In2014,thegovernmentdecidedtochangethis.Sincethen,26animalsheltersacrossSingaporehavebeenrebuiltorrepairedwithsupportfromthegovernment.Thenewbuildingsaresobeautifulthatsomehaveevenbecometouristattractions.In2017,thegovernmentalsomadeanewlawthatnolongerallowedshelterstokillanimalsthatdidn’tgetadopted.____17____Fortunately,thelargernewshelterscanprovidemorespaceforthestrays(流浪动物).Moreimportantly,peoplewillbemorelikelytoadoptanimalsbecausethenewsheltersaremorepleasanttovisit.Someevenhaveaspacewherepeoplecanspendtimewiththepetsbeforeadoptingthem.____18____Instead,adoptonefromananimalshelter.Therearemanyreasonswhythisisbetter.Themostobviousoneisthatyouwillimproveananimal’slife.EventhoughanimalsheltersinSingaporedon’tkillanimalsanymore,theanimalwillliveamorejoyfullifeinyourlovinghome.Second,manysheltersarefull,sotheyneedpeopletoadoptmorepets.Third,thestaffatanimalsheltersareveryhelpful.____19____Ifyoubuyapetfromapetstore,it’slikelythatpuppyandkittenmills(制造厂)willbenefit.____20____Theparentsareusuallykeptinsmallcagesandmadetogivebirthtothenextgenerationrapidlyandendlessly.What’smore,petsfrompetstoresareusuallymuchmoreexpensivethanadoptedones.Theformermaycosttensofthousandsofdollarsdependingonthespecies,whilethelattercancostjustafewhundred.A.Dotherightthingandadoptyournextpet.B.Thepetmillswillsharethebenefitwithanimalshelters.C.Itmeansthereareevenmoreanimalslivinginshelters.D.Whengettinganewpet,don’tbuyonefromapetstore.E.Theseareplacesthatproducebabyanimalsjustlikeproducts.F.Theyknowthepersonalitiesofthepets,sotheycanhelpyouchoosetheperfectone.G.Foranimals,livingonthestreetmighthavebeenabetteroptionthangoingtooneoftheseshelters.【答案】16.G17.C18.D19.F20.E【解析】【导语】这是一篇社会新闻报道，文章主要讲的是新加坡改善动物收容所条件，鼓励人们领养流浪动物的做法。【16题详解】根据空格前“Inthepast,animalsheltersinSingaporewerehorribleplaces.Mostofthemwereveryoldbuildingsthatweredirty,noisyandcrowded.(过去，新加坡的动物收容所是个可怕的地方。它们大多是非常古老的建筑，又脏又吵又拥挤。)”可知新加坡过去的动物收容所是非常糟糕的地方，根据空格后“In2014,thegovernmentdecidedtochangethis.Sincethen,26animalsheltersacrossSingaporehavebeenrebuiltorrepairedwithsupportfromthegovernment.Thenewbuildingsaresobeautifulthatsomehaveevenbecometouristattractions.(2014年，政府决定改变这一现状。从那以后，在政府的支持下，新加坡各地重建或修复了26个动物收容所。这些新建筑非常漂亮，有些甚至成为了旅游景点。)”可知政府自2014年以来对动物收容所进行了改建和修复，所以新的收容所更令人愉快，空处承上启下，所以空格中应讲过去的动物收容所对动物来说可能不是个好选择，G选项中的Foranimals,livingonthestreetmighthavebeenabetteroptionthangoingtooneoftheseshelters.(对于动物来说，住在街上可能比去收容所。)指出在过去即使是住在街上也比过去的动物收容所要好的多，承接上文，引出下文，而且G项中的theseshelters指代空前的animalsheltersinSingapore，符合上下文语境。故选G项。【17题详解】根据空格前“In2017,thegovernmentalsomadeanewlawthatnolongerallowedshelterstokillanimalsthatdidn’tgetadopted.(2017年，政府还制定了一项新法律，不再允许收容所杀死未被收养的动物。)”可知新加坡政府在2017年制定了一项不再允许动物收容所杀死未被领养的动物的法律，根据空格后“Fortunately,thelargernewshelterscanprovidemorespaceforthestrays(流浪动物).Moreimportantly,peoplewillbemorelikelytoadoptanimalsbecausethenewsheltersaremorepleasanttovisit.Someevenhaveaspacewherepeoplecanspendtimewiththepetsbeforeadoptingthem.(幸运的是，更大的新收容所可以为流浪动物提供更多的空间。更重要地是，人们将更有可能收养动物，因为新的收容所更令人愉快。有些甚至有一个空间，人们可以在收养宠物之前和它们呆在一起。)”可知新的动物收容所可以为流浪动物提供更多的空间，空处承上启下，所以空格中应讲的是因为有了法律的保护，所以收容所里将会有更多的动物，C选项中的Itmeansthereareevenmoreanimalslivinginshelters.(这意味着有更多的动物住在收容所。)指出因为有了法律的保护，所以更多的动物会生活在动物收容所，而且C项中的It指代的空前整句话的内容，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文情境。故选C项。【18题详解】根据上文“Fortunately,thelargernewshelterscanprovidemorespaceforthestrays(流浪动物).Moreimportantly,peoplewillbemorelikelytoadoptanimalsbecausethenewsheltersaremorepleasanttovisit.Someevenhaveaspacewherepeoplecanspendtimewiththepetsbeforeadoptingthem.(幸运的是，更大的新收容所可以为流浪动物提供更多的空间。更重要的是，人们将更有可能收养动物，因为新的收容所更令人愉快。有些甚至有一个人们可以在收养宠物之前和它们呆在一起的空间。)”可知在新加坡动物收容所领养动物是有很多好处的，根据空格后“Instead,adoptonefromananimalshelter.Therearemanyreasonswhythisisbetter.Themostobviousoneisthatyouwillimproveananimal’slife.(不如从动物收容所领养一只吧。有很多原因可以解释为什么这样更好。最明显的是，你会改善动物的生活。)”讲了为什么从动物收容所领养动物比从宠物商店购买更好，空处承上启下，所以空格中应讲不要从宠物商店购买宠物，而是从动物收容所领养，D选项中的Whengettinganewpet,don’tbuyonefromapetstore.(领养新宠物时，不要去宠物店买。)指出不要去宠物店购买宠物，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选D【19题详解】根据空格前“Third,thestaffatanimalsheltersareveryhelpful.(第三，动物收容所的工作人员非常乐于助人。)”可知动物收容所的工作人员在领养动物方面会对你有帮助，所以空处应该讲的是动物收容所的工作人员为什么会对你在选择合适的宠物方面有帮助，F选项Theyknowthepersonalitiesofthepets,sotheycanhelpyouchoosetheperfectone.(他们知道宠物的个性，所以他们可以帮助你选择最完美的。)指出动物收容所的工作人员会对你有帮助的原因，而且F项中的They指代空前的thestaffatanimalshelters，符合上下文语境。故选F项。【20题详解】根据空格前“Ifyoubuyapetfromapetstore,it’slikelythatpuppyandkittenmills(制造厂)willbenefit.(如果你从宠物店买宠物，小狗和小猫的制造工厂很可能会受益。)”可知如果你从宠物商店购买宠物可能会让繁殖场受益，根据空格后“Theparentsareusuallykeptinsmallcagesandmadetogivebirthtothenextgenerationrapidlyandendlessly.What’smore,petsfrompetstoresareusuallymuchmoreexpensivethanadoptedones.Theformermaycosttensofthousandsofdollarsdependingonthespecies,whilethelattercancostjustafewhundred.(小动物的父母通常被关在小笼子里，让它们快速而无休止地生育下一代。更重要的是，宠物店的宠物通常比领养的要贵得多。前者可能需要花费数万美元，这取决于物种，而后者可能只需要几百美元。)”讲了繁殖场的恶劣条件和从宠物商店购买宠物的高价，空处承上启下，所以空格处应该讲的是小狗和小猫的制造工厂会受益的原因，E选项Theseareplacesthatproducebabyanimalsjustlikeproducts.(这些地方像生产产品一样生产小动物。)指出小狗和小猫的制造工厂会受益是因为这些地方像生产产品一样生产小动物，承接上文，引出下文，而且E项中的These指代空前的puppyandkittenmills(制造厂)，符合上下文语境。故选E项。第二部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。ThefirsttimeIfelttheimpactofUCLA’s(加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校)diversitywasduringNewStudentOrientation(新生入学培训).Atabrand-newcampus,wearesurroundedby____21____.Wereallyfeelthesocialtensionbetweentheincoming(新来的)students,hopingtofindfriendsinastrangeenvironment.____22____intoagroupof10students,wegotourfirstchancetogettoknowoneanother.Ourgroupsatinakindergartenstyleto____23____whatwe’djustexperienced.Therewereafewminutesofsparse(稀少的)conversation____24____thewallofawkwardnesswas____25____byagirl.Shebegan____26____herownlife.Sheexplainedthatononeside,shewasFilipino,andontheother,Mexican.Shewasnotquite____27____inamongMexicansorFilipinos,feeling____28____aboutherplaceintheworld.Sadlybowingherhead,shestoppedsaying.Itseemedthatshewasdescribingmy____29____.Asamatteroffact,myparentsalsocamefrom_____30_____countries.SoItoldherthatItotallyunderstoodhowshe_____31_____.Thisyear,UCLAadmittedoneofitsmostdiversegroupsofstudentsyet,whichmeansfreshmenwill_____32_____thingslikeminemorethaneverbefore.Thediversityleadstomore_____33_____forpersonalgrowth.Comparedtootheruniversities,thosechancesarewhatreallymakebeingafreshmanspecial.Butto_____34_____fromtheuniversity’sdiversity,studentsshouldseekgoodsolutions.Theycould_____35_____stories,learnfromfriendsandcompareoneanother’slivesintheprocessofstudying.21.A.families
