D.Favorable.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，科学研究旨在阐明我们对鱼类如何使用内部GPS估计距离的理解。〖答案〗12.C13.D14.C15.D【12题详析】细节理解题。根据第一段“thestudyaimstoshedlightonourunderstandingofhowfish,andpotentiallyhumans,estimatedistancesusingwhatcouldbedescribedasaninternalGPS.(这项研究旨在阐明我们对鱼类以及潜在的人类如何利用一种可以被称为内部GPS的东西来估计距离的理解)”可知，这项研究旨在揭示内置GPS如何帮助计算距离。故选C。【13题详析】推理判断题。根据第三段“However,whenthestripepatternwasalteredtoeithernarrowerverticalstripes,checkedpatterns,orhorizontalstripes(水平条纹),thefish’sbehaviorchangedsignificantly.Narrowerverticalstripesledthemtooverestimatingthedistanceby36%,whilehorizontalstripesresultedinhighlyinconsistentestimations.(然而，当条纹图案被改变为更窄的垂直条纹、格子图案或水平条纹时，鱼的行为发生了显著变化。较窄的垂直条纹导致他们高估了36%的距离，而水平条纹导致高度不一致的估计)”可知，鱼缸条纹改变后，鱼对距离的估算不准确了。故选D。【14题详析】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Accordingtotheresearchers,thegoldfishappearedtobeusingan‘optic(光学的)flowmechanism’basedonthevisualdensityoftheirenvironment.Theykepttrackofhowfrequentlytheverticalpatternswitchedbetweenblackandwhitetoestimatehowfartheyhadtraveled. Thestudysuggeststhatdifferentopticflowmechanismsareusedbymammals,includinghumans,basedonangular(有角度的)motionofvisualfeatures.(根据研究人员的说法，金鱼似乎使用了一种基于环境视觉密度的‘光学流动机制’。他们记录了垂直图案在黑色和白色之间切换的频率，以估计它们走了多远。这项研究表明，包括人类在内的哺乳动物使用不同的光流机制，这是基于视觉特征的角度运动)”可知，此处进一步阐明金鱼估计距离的原理，金鱼利用多维视觉信息来评估距离。故选C。【15题详析】推理判断题。推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thisstudyisnovelbecause,despiteknowingthatfishrespondtogeometricinformationregardingdirectionanddistance,wedon’tknowhowtheyestimatedistances,”ProfessorColinLever,althoughnotinvolvedinthestudy,said,“it’sexcitingtoexplorefishspatialmappingbecausefishnavigationevolvedearlierandbetterthanmostmammals.”(“这项研究是新颖的，因为尽管我们知道鱼类对方向和距离的几何信息有反应，但我们不知道它们是如何估计距离的，”科林·利弗教授说，尽管他没有参与这项研究，“探索鱼类的空间映射是令人兴奋的，因为鱼类的导航进化得比大多数哺乳动物更早，也更好。”)”可知，科林教授认为这项研究是令人兴奋的，所以是赞许的”可知，Colin教授对该研究的态度是积极地，赞成的。故选D。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。Agardenisaprojectthatoftenrequiresafairlylargeinitialinvestmentofbothtimeandmoneyfromthestart—aswellasacommitmenttomaintainit.____16____.Thosewholiketheirhomegardenfinditrewardingbothasaplacetorelax,andasafunandhealthyhobby.Ifyou’reluckyenoughtohaveabackyard,youcanimaginetheenjoymentyou’dreceivefromchangingthatdusty,weedydeadspaceintoagreen,relaxingenvironment.____17____.Withregular,low-levelmaintenanceitwillcontinuetothrive(茁壮成长）andprovideyouwithpleasure.So,howcanyoubuildapleasanthomegarden?Someclevergardenersusedrought-resistantplantssuchascacti(仙人掌),andalittlebitofwateringandinspirationtoproducespacesthatarebothrelaxingandpleasingtotheeye.____18____.____19____.Ifyouputintheplantsandwalkwaysyourself,itwillbegoodforyourhealth.Manypeoplefindthatspendingawhilediggingholesfortreesorpullingweedsiseasiertostomachthanhalfanhouronarunningmachine,andwhocanblamethem?Itmighttakeawhiletoseethefitnessresults,butafewdays’workcanliterallytransformyouryard.Therearemanypopularhomegardenbooksandmagazines.____20____,asmanybookscontaindetailedplansforcomplexprojects.Usetheseresourcesasastartingpointandputtogethersomethinguniquelyyours—withinthelimitsofyourtimeandbudget.A.AtriptothelibrarycanhelpyougetstartedB.However,itisadeservingchallengeformanypeopleC.AhomegardencanbeagoodworkoutaswellasaplacetorelaxD.TheshapeofthespaceisoftenasimportantasitscontentsorsizeE.SomedoitforexerciseandspendalittletimeoutdoorsonasunnydayF.Nomatterwhatthecircumstances,it’spossibletocreatealovelyhomegardenG.Manygardenersalsoenjoyemployingtouchessuchasstonepathstocreateaniceatmosphere【语篇解读】本文是篇说明文。文章给对家庭花园有兴趣的读者提供了一些有益的建议，指导他们该从哪些方面着手营建自己的花园。〖答案〗16.B17.F18.G19.C20.A【16题详析】根据上一句“Agardenisaprojectthatoftenrequiresafairlylargeinitialinvestmentofbothtimeandmoneyfromthestart—aswellasacommitmenttomaintainit.”（一个花园是一个通常需要从一开始就投入相当大的时间和金钱的项目，还要有维护它的承诺。）和下一句“Thosewholiketheirhomegardenfinditrewardingbothasaplacetorelax,andasafunandhealthyhobby.”（那些喜欢自家花园的人发现它作为一个放松的地方，和一个有趣而健康的爱好是很值得的。）可知，上一句提到花园需要大量时间和金钱来维护，下一句却指出了它的好处，故前后之间为转折关系；故选项B.However,itisadeservingchallengeformanypeople（然而，对许多人来说，这是一个值得的挑战）承上启下，说明了虽然维护花园需要投入大量的时间和金钱，但这种挑战却是值得的，它为人们提供了放松的地方，带来了乐趣和健康。故选B。【17题详析】根据上一句“Ifyou’reluckyenoughtohaveabackyard,youcanimaginetheenjoymentyou’dreceivefromchangingthatdusty,weedydeadspaceintoagreen,relaxingenvironment.”（如果你足够幸运，有一个后院，你可以想象一下，把那个尘土飞扬、杂草丛生的死角变成一个绿色、放松的环境，你会得到什么样的享受。），选项F.Nomatterwhatthecircumstances,it’spossibletocreatealovelyhomegarden（无论在什么情况下，都有可能创造一个可爱的家庭花园）对上句作出了回答，你是有可能把后院改造成一个可爱的家庭花园的，承接上文；下一句“Withregular,low-levelmaintenanceitwillcontinuetothrive(茁壮成长）andprovideyouwithpleasure.”（通过定期的低水平维护，它将继续茁壮成长并为您提供乐趣。）中的“it”指代选项F中的“alovelyhomegarden”，语意连贯，衔接合理。故选F。【18题详析】根据上一句“Someclevergardenersusedrought-resistantplantssuchascacti(仙人掌),andalittlebitofwateringandinspirationtoproducespacesthatarebothrelaxingandpleasingtotheeye.”（一些聪明的园丁使用抗旱植物，如仙人掌，再加上一点点浇水和灵感，创造出既放松又赏心悦目的空间。）可知，该句描述了一些园丁建造宜人的家庭花园的方法；选项G.Manygardenersalsoenjoyemployingtouchessuchasstonepathstocreateaniceatmosphere（许多园丁也喜欢使用石头小径来创造良好的氛围）补充说明了其他一些园丁建造的方法，语意衔接合理，符合段落主题。故选G。【19题详析】空处为段落主题句。根据下一句“Ifyouputintheplantsandwalkwaysyourself,itwillbegoodforyourhealth.”（如果你自己放入植物、铺人行道，这对你的健康有好处。）和第四段内容可知，该段主要是描述了园艺对健康的好处；选项C.Ahomegardencanbeagoodworkoutaswellasaplacetorelax（一个家庭花园可以是一个很好的锻炼和放松的地方）概括表达了家庭花园对身心健康都有帮助，符合该段主题。故选C。【20题详析】根据上一句“Therearemanypopularhomegardenbooksandmagazines.”（有许多流行的家庭园艺书籍和杂志。），选项A.Atriptothelibrarycanhelpyougetstarted（去一趟图书馆可以帮助你开始）进一步提出可以通过去图书馆阅读那些流行的园艺书籍和杂志，承接上文；下一句“asmanybookscontaindetailedplansforcomplexprojects.”（因为许多书都包含复杂项目的详细计划。）具体解释了阅读这些图书的意义，符合语境。故选A。第二部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Bornwithnorightleg,AnthonyRobles,oneofthebestwrestlersintheNCAA,startedwrestlingwhenhewasinhighschool.Whenhiscousinfirst____21____himtowrestling,Robleswasn’ta/an____22____.However,hegraduallyfellinlovewithitandhehasbeendoingiteversince.Whilesomepeoplemighthave____23____hisdecisiontotakeonthesport,hisfamilywasahuge____24____ofsupportandencouragement.Hesaid:“They____25____inmefromayoungagethatIcoulddowhateverI____26____mymindto.“Theydidn’tgivemeanyspecial____27____.Theyraisedmelikeothers.”Whilethephysical
