31、olling River Day Camp Family Day”, you should .A.donate a gift firstB.make registration earlyC.be dressed in a shirt or jerseyD.visit first【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章Rolling River Day Camp Family Day部分介绍内容,You must pre-register to attend.(你必须预先登记才能参加。)可知,想要参加Rolling River Day Camp Family Day,必须提前预定参加,结合选项,故选B

32、。22.What do the first event and the third event have in common? A.They will be held at the same time.B.They share the same organizer.C.They have the same requirements.D.They will be held in the same place.【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据文章Crafternoon部分中Location: Emma Clark Library, 120 Main Street, Setauket, NY 1173

33、3和Super Bowl “Sunday”部分中Location: Emma Clark Library, 120 Main Street, Setauket, NY 11733可知,第一个和第三个活动的举办地点相同,都在 Emma Clark Library, 120 Main Street, Setauket, NY 11733,结合选项,故选D。23.What can we learn about “St.Gregorys Day”?A.It will last more than one week.B.It is more suitable for campers.C.It has s

34、pecial requirements for clothes.D.Its most activities will be held indoors.【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据文章St. Gregorys Day部分介绍内容,Time: March 8, 7: 00PMMarch 18, 7:00PM(举办时间是3月8日到3月18日。)可知,该活动的举办时间超过一周,结合选项,故选A。BIt is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather.Such a fixation with the weath

35、er finds expression in Dr.Johnsons famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators(评论员)fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill

36、 Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood.He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it. Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpre

37、dictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.”Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.Bryson is wrong, he says,“because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena(现象)”. The interest is

38、 less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English.Both commentators, somehow,

39、are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weather-speak is a system of signs,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other.Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are n

40、ot requests for weather data.Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.【语篇概述】本文是一篇议论文。由于英国的天气是多变的,所以英国人谈论天气被认为是见面或者搭讪的合理开场白,本文就此从不同的角度进行了解释。24.The author mentions Dr.Johnsons comment to show th

41、at .A.most commentators agree with Dr.JohnsonB.Dr.Johnson is famous for his weather observationC.the comment was accurate two hundred years agoD.English conversations usually start with the weather【解析】选D。推理判断题。由本文第一句话“It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather.(众所周知,任何英

42、语会话都是从天气开始的。)”可知,作者提到Dr.Johnson的评论旨在说明英国人见面总是以谈论天气开始,故选D。25.What does the underlined word “obsession”in Paragraph 2 most probably refer to? A.A social trend.B.An emotional state.C.A historical concept.D.An unknown phenomenon.【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的段落可知,英国的天气根本不令人兴奋,随之而来的一种痴迷情绪也是几乎不能被理解的。obsession可以理解成

43、是一种谈论天气的“强迫症”,故它是一种情绪的状态。 A social trend 一种社会趋势; An emotional state 一种情绪化的状态;A historical concept一个历史概念;An unknown phenomenon 一种未知现象。故选B。26.According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that .A.Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherB.there is nothing special about the English weatherC.th

44、e English weather attracts people to the British IslesD.English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Jeremy所说的话“because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena.”(“因为英国人对天气的偏爱,与自然现象无关。”)可知,他反驳了Bryson的观点,他认为英格兰的天气是多变而又不确定的,这吸引

45、着英国人和外来者,故选D。27.What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A.To explain what English weather-speak is about.B.To analyze misconceptions about the English weather.C.To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.D.To convince people that the English weather is changeable.【解析】选A。 目

46、的意图题。根据第一段的介绍和最后一段的总结可知,本文主要是解释英国人的谈论天气主要是关于什么的,所以答案为A项。B、C两项陈述有误,D项“使人们信服英国的天气是多变的”不是文章的主要谈论内容。故选A。CIts common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vincis most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room.But this common kno

47、wledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle thats 15.4 degrees off to the observers right-well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them.In other words, said the study author, Hor

48、stmann, “Shes not looking at you.” This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a persons gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect”.That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said.If a person is illustrated or photographed looking

49、 straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at.As long as the angle of the persons gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.This is important for human interaction with on-screen characters.If you want so

50、meone off to the right side of a room to feel that a person on-screen is looking at him or her, you dont cut the gaze of the character to that side-surprisingly, doing so would make an observer feel like the character isnt looking at anyone in the room at all.Instead, you keep the gaze straight ahea

51、d.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the Mona Lisa and realized she wasnt looking at him.To make sure it wasnt just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images o

52、f the Mona Lisa on a computer screen.They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected(和相交) Mona Lisas gaze.To calculate the angle of Mona Lisas gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to

53、the screen during the study.Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the “Mona Lisa” portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isnt sure.Its possib

54、le, he said, that people had the desire to be looked at, so they thought the woman was looking straight at them.Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.【语篇概述】这是一篇说明文。普遍认为,莱昂纳多达芬奇最著名的画作中的女人似乎在回望观察者,不管观察者站在房间里的什么地方, 她的眼睛一直注视着他们。但事实证明,这种观点是错误的。28

55、.It is generally believed that the woman in the painting Mona Lisa .A.attracts the viewers to look backB.seems mysterious because of her eyesC.fixes her eyes on the back of the viewersD.looks at the viewers wherever they stand【解析】选D。 细节理解题。由第一段内容,“普遍认为,莱昂纳多达芬奇最著名的画作中的女人似乎在回望观察者,不管观察者站在房间里的什么地方,她的眼睛一

56、直注视着他们。”可知人们普遍认为蒙娜丽莎中的女人,不管观察者站在哪里,她都在注视着观察者。故选D。29.What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?【解析】选B。细节理解题。由第二段“As long as the angle of the persons gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.”可知,只要人的视线与两边的夹角不超过5度,蒙娜丽莎效应就会出现。结合四个选项的图示可以看出,

57、 B选项中的角度会引起蒙娜丽莎效应。故选B。30.The experiment involving 24 people was conducted to .A.confirm Horstmanns beliefB.create artificial-intelligence avatarsC.calculate the angle of Mona Lisas gazeD.explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied【解析】选A。 细节理解题。由第四段“Horstmann took a long look at the Mona Lisa and

58、 realized she wasnt looking at him”和第五段“ To make sure it wasnt just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the Mona Lisa on a computer screen.”可知, Horstmann长时间地看着蒙娜丽莎,意识到她并没有看着他。为了确定不仅仅是没有看他,研究人员让24个人在电脑屏幕上观看蒙娜丽莎的照片。所以这个有24人参加的实验是为了证实Horstmann的观点。故选A。31.What can we learn from the pas

59、sage? A.Horstmann thinks its cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.B.The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C.Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D.The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers

60、 judgement.【解析】选C。 推理判断题。由最后一段“Its possible, he said, that people had the desire to be looked at, so they thought the woman was looking straight at them”可知,可能是人们渴望被注视,所以人们认为这个女人正注视着他们。通过Horstmann 所说的话可以判断出,感觉被蒙娜丽莎注视可能是人们渴望被注视引起的。故选C。DScience is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a lo

61、ng time, considered second-class citizens.As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation.When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometime

62、s choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later(and better) one.Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols.When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbo

63、ls around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals.The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the Os.Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols.Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their knowledge

64、to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable(无足轻重的) feat of reasoning.Ive been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself.At the start of my career almost four decades ago.I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals.Theyre other primates(灵长目动物), after all, a

65、nimals from our own mammalian(哺乳动物的) class.Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions.Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel

66、a viewpoint shift in our society:the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure in laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner

67、lives of fish, chickens,pigs, goats, and cows, I started to wonder:Will the new science of “food animals” bring an ethical(伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?Animal activists are already there, of course, comm

68、itted not to eating these animals.But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?【语篇概述】这是一篇说明文。文章论述了我们原来当作食物的动物实际上也有情感有思想,它们有一定的分析推理能力,人类不应只将它们当作食物。32.According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of .A.interac

69、tionB.analysisC.creationD.abstraction【解析】选B。推理判断题。由第二段中的“When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one”可知,当解决问题时,母鸡们会推理:例如,受过挑选彩色纽扣的训练的母鸡们有时会选择放弃即时的食物奖励,换取稍晚一些(而且更好)的食物奖励。由此可知

70、,母鸡们具备分析能力。A.interaction互动;B.analysis分析;C.creation创造;D.abstraction抽象。故选B。33.The research into pigs shows that pigs .A.learn letters quicklyB.have a good eyesightC.can build up a good relationshipD.can apply knowledge to new situations【解析】选D。推理判断题。由第三段内容可知,一些研究者拿着带X标记的木板,一些研究者拿着带O标记的木板,只有拿带O标记木板的研究者给

71、猪提供食物,猪很快就只理会这些研究者了。当木板换成带X和O标记的衬衫时,猪仍然只走向那些穿带O标记衬衫的研究者。这表明猪能把知识应用到新的情境。故选D。34.Paragraph 4 is mainly about .A.the similarities between mammals and humansB.the necessity of long-term studies on mammalsC.a change in peoples attitudes towards animalsD.a discovery of how animals express themselves【解析】选C

72、。段落大意题。由第四段内容可知,数十年前,作者坚信猴子和猩猩在思考能力和情感上都胜过其他的动物。很快,作者就意识到除了猴子和猩猩,鲸鱼也是文化学习的主人,大象也表现出高兴等情感。长期的研究也促进着我们社会观点的转变:我们不再认为猴子只能是实验室里的实验对象,大象只能在马戏团里进行表演,海豚只能被养在主题公园狭小的池子里。由此可知,本段介绍的是人们对动物看法的转变。故选C。35.What might be the best title for the passage? A.The Inner Lives of Food AnimalsB.The Lifestyles of Food Animal

73、sC.Science Reports on Food AnimalsD.A Revolution in Food Animals【解析】选A。标题归纳题。文章第一段提出,科学开始拥抱原来被我们认为是二等公民的动物们;第二和第三段以母鸡和猪为例告诉读者,通过科学研究可知,母鸡和猪也具备情感,也具备分析推理能力;第四段介绍了人们对动物看法的转变;第五和第六段中作者呼吁读者:动物有自己的情感和思想,我们不要只将动物当成我们的食物。结合每段大意可知,该文主要是围绕动物也有情感有思想来展开的。故The Inner Lives of Food Animals(食物动物的内在生命)是最合适的标题。故选A。第

74、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。 Time ManagementWhat time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer.And if you dont know for sure, its very likely that you can find out.36; there may be clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe youre riding

75、 in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).37 even if you dont have a timepiece of some sort nearby.Humans have an internal clock that regulates the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.38.Even if w

76、e ignore it, its still going by ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour.So the main issue in using your time well is, “Whos in charge?” 39.Or we can take control of it and make it our partner.By taking control of how you spend your time, youll increase your chances of becoming

77、 a more successful student.Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of timetable that governs every wakin

78、g moment of the day.40.Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.A.We are the master of timeB.Your body keeps its own beatC.You can find timepiece everywhereD.There may be a watch o

79、n your wristE.Time is something from which we cant escapeF.Instead, the aim is to inform us how we use timeG.We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy【语篇概述】文章主要讲述了时间既可以成为我们的敌人,也可以成为我们的朋友,并向读者介绍了时间管理的重要性与好处。36.【解析】选D。推理判断题。句意:可能是手腕上的一块手表。根据下文there may be clock on the wall, desk, or compute

80、r screen; or maybe youre riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard 可知,此处及下文都是可以查看时间的方式。故选D。37.【解析】选B。推理判断题。句意:你的身体保持自己的节奏。根据下文even if you dont have a timepiece of some sort nearby 以及列举的心跳、呼吸节奏等例子可知,此处选B。38.【解析】选E。推理判断题。句意:时间是我们无法逃脱的东西。根据下文 Even if we ignore it, its still going by ticking awa

81、y, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour.可知,即使我们忽略它,它仍在滴答作响,一秒一秒,一分钟一分钟,一小时一小时地滴答作响。故选E。39.【解析】选G。推理判断题。句意:我们可以让时间流逝,让它成为我们的敌人。根据下文Or we can take control of it and make it our partner.可知,或者我们可以控制它并使其成为我们的合作伙伴。此处是利用时间的两种方式。故选G。40.【解析】选F。推理判断题。句意:相反,其目的是告诉我们如何利用时间。根据上文可知,时间管理的目的不是要安排每时每刻,让我
