三、阅读理解 (在每小题给出的四个选项中,只有一项是符合题目要求的) Can cats and dogs live in perfect harmony in the same home? Recent research has found a new recipe for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young, it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. The study said there was coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a eat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission. In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior—they are learning how to speak each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk "dog", and dogs can learn how to talk "cat". What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to interpret each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously guessed. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together. The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
1. What does the underlined word "swimmingly" mean in Paragraph 1? ______
A.Early.
B.Clearly.
C.Quickly.
D.Smoothly.
A B C D
D
[考点] 词语理解题
[解析] 题干大意是:第一段中画线单词“swimmingly”是什么意思?根据第一段最后两句“Recent research has found a new recipe for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog...it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly.”可知,最近的研究发现了一个使猫和狗能和睦相处的新的成功秘诀;根据这项研究,如果猫在狗之前就被领养,而且如果它们在还小时就被介绍认识了,那么这两只宠物极可能会顺利地和睦相处。由此可推知,swimmingly意为“顺利地,顺顺当当地”,所以D项(顺利地,平稳地)与其意思最为相近。early:在早期,在初期;clearly:清楚地,明白地,明显地;quickly:迅速地,不久。故选D。
[参考译文] 猫和狗能在同一个家里十分和睦地生活吗?最近的研究发现了一个新的成功秘诀。根据这项研究,如果猫在狗之前就被领养,而且如果它们在还小时就被介绍认识了,那么这两只宠物极可能会顺利地和睦相处。
然而,(猫和狗的关系)并不总是很融洽。该研究说在25%的家庭中,猫和狗之间(关系)冷淡,而在10%的家庭中观察到了攻击和打斗。这种情况的原因之一很可能是它们的一些肢体信号正好相反。例如,当一只猫把头转向别处时,它发出攻击的信号,而一只狗做同样的动作则表示屈服。
在猫狗和平相处的家庭中,研究人员观察到一种令人惊讶的行为——它们正在学习如何说彼此的语言。令人惊讶的是,猫能学会如何说“狗语”,狗也能学会如何说“猫语”。
有趣的是,猫和狗似乎都在发展自己的智力。它们可以学习如何解读彼此的肢体信号,这表明两者之间的相同之处可能比我们之前猜测的更多。一旦熟悉彼此的存在和肢体语言,猫和狗可以在一起玩耍。
这项关于猫和狗的研究的意义可能不仅限于宠物,还涉及不能和睦相处的人,包括邻居和工作上的同事,甚至是世界超级大国。如果猫和狗能学会和睦相处,人们肯定有很大的可能(和睦相处)。
2. Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.

5. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs? ______
Do you listen to the songs that your parents like? The chances are that you don't. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs you like are much cooler. But scientists find that people's music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that the change in your own musical preferences will follow a similar pattern to your parents', whether you like it or not. We used to think that culture and personality are the only two reasons for different music choices. But researchers notice that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life. The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like loud music such as rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent. But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change. They want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of music like pop and R&B, which is usually uplifting. When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer jazz and classical music, as well as country, folk and blues. A. for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music. But you must be thinking, "Aren't there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?" Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth.
6. What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy? ______
A.They are actually less cool.
B.They are worth listening to.
C.They are especially serious.
D.They are hard to understand.

[考点] 事实细节题
[解析] 题干大意是:年轻人通常认为自己父母喜欢的歌曲怎么样?根据第一段第三句“You probably think the music that they like is old and boring...”可知,你很可能认为他们喜欢的音乐过时且无聊,而你喜欢的歌曲要酷得多。由此可知,年轻人通常认为自己父母喜欢的歌曲其实没那么酷。故选A。
[参考译文] 你听父母喜欢的歌曲吗?你可能不听。你很可能认为他们喜欢的音乐过时且无聊,而你喜欢的歌曲要酷得多。但是科学家发现,人们的音乐品味会随着时间的推移而改变。因此,不管你喜欢还是不喜欢,你自己的音乐偏好的变化可能会遵循与父母相似的模式。
我们曾经认为文化和个性是(人们做出)不同音乐选择的仅有的两个原因。但研究人员注意到,随着人们进入不同的年龄段,他们的社会环境会改变,他们的音乐品味也会改变。人们在一生中会经历一些音乐时期。
第一个时期出现在青少年时期,在这个时期人们喜欢摇滚乐之类的吵闹的音乐,因为青少年往往是好强的或者想独立。
但是当人们进入成年早期,他们的生活方式改变了。他们想要与他人建立亲密的关系。因此,他们变得更喜欢流行音乐和节奏蓝调之类的音乐,这种音乐通常是令人振奋的。
当中年到来时,大多数人都安定下来了。在这一时期,除乡村音乐、民间音乐和布鲁斯音乐之外,人们还更喜欢爵士乐和古典音乐。
至于老年人,他们更喜欢自己童年时的老歌。他们通常听令人放松的音乐。但你一定在想,“难道没有老年人仍然对摇滚乐感兴趣,或者甚至为之着迷吗?”当然有。但是他们听摇滚乐的原因可能已经改变了。在那个年龄人们听(摇滚乐)可能是为了使他们想起自己年轻的时候。

Perhaps the greatest change the world has seen in modern times has been the rise of the Internet. It's hard to deny the positive changes it adds to people's lives. The Internet allows people to have quick access to maps and online stores. As a tool, it's a great way to keep in touch with friends and it offers a wealth of news sources. Like any technology, though, it has negative aspects that become clear as we start to depend upon it. Like pollution and traffic jams that come with the convenience of cars, the Internet is so popular that it has given rise to a new kind of social epidemic—Internet addiction. There are many stories of excellent students who lost their university scholarships because of poor grades, which were simply because they spent too much time online. These things happened to the students because of addiction. New college students are most at risk from these effects because they are just entering a world where their online habits are no longer monitored by concerned parents. Without the discipline of home, students have to manage time by themselves. So notice if you find you are thinking about the Internet even when you're not online, or if you prefer your online time to time with your real-life friends. If you find yourself doing these things, take a step back. Look for other ways to enjoy your life. The Internet is a powerful tool, but make sure that you use it wisely to benefit from it and that you won't make a good thing become something bad.
11. Which of the following advantages of the Internet is not mentioned in Paragraph 1? ______
A.Watching movies.

C.Using online maps.
D.Communicating with friends.

[解析] 题干大意是:以下关于互联网的优点中哪一项没有在第一段提到?根据第一段最后两句“The Internet allows people to have quick access to maps and online stores. As a tool, it's a great way to keep in touch with friends and it offers a wealth of news sources.”可知,互联网使人们能够快速访问地图和在线商店;作为一个工具,它是一种与朋友保持联系的好方法,并能够提供丰富的新闻来源。由此可知,在线购物、使用在线地图和与朋友交流均是互联网的优点。A项(看电影)在第一段并未提及。故选A。
[参考译文] 也许现代世界经历的最大变化就是互联网的兴起。很难否认它给人们的生活增添的积极变化。互联网使人们能够快速访问地图和在线商店。作为一个工具,它是一种与朋友保持联系的好方法,并能够提供丰富的新闻来源。
然而,像任何技术一样,它有负面(影响),随着我们开始依赖它,它的负面(影响)变得明显。正如伴随着轿车的便利而来的是污染和交通堵塞一样,互联网如此受欢迎,以至它引发了一种新的社会流行病——网瘾。有许多关于优秀的学生由于成绩差而失去大学奖学金的报道,这仅仅是因为他们花了太多时间上网。
因为上瘾,这些事情发生在这些学生身上。大学新生受这些影响的风险最大,因为他们正进入一个上网习惯不再受关切的父母监督的环境。没有家里的纪律,学生们只能自己管理时间。
所以,留意你是否发现自己即使不上网也在想着互联网,或者是否更喜欢上网时间而不是和现实生活中的朋友在一起的时间。如果你发现自己正在做这些事情,往后退一步。寻找其他享受生活的方式。互联网是一个强大的工具,但要确保你明智地利用它以从中获益,不要让一个好东西变成坏东西。

Everyone knows that laziness is not good. We all have probably had lectures telling that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never gain anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than those, and it is often caused by more complex reasons. They may be unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be affected by a fear of failure. Some people are so busy planning great work that they are unable to deal with "easier" work on hand. Still others are simply putting off their work. Laziness, however, can actually be helpful. Some people may look lazy while they are really thinking, planning and researching. We should all remember that great scientific discoveries happened by chance. Newton wasn't working on the farm when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone "lazy" build the car we buy, particularly if that "laziness" is caused by the worker's taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being "lazy"—that is, taking time off for a rest—is good for the overworked people. So be careful when you want to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, or planning his or her next work.
16. The main idea of this passage is that ______.
A.laziness is a bad habit that everyone wants to get rid of
B.there are advantages and disadvantages in being lazy
C.laziness is the sign of very serious emotional problems
D.lazy people usually do their work more carefully

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a world-famous musical genius, was born in Salzburg, Austria. He died when he was a young man. But during his short life, he wrote more than 600 pieces of music. Mozart loved music when he was a baby. At the age of 3, he used to attend his elder sister's music lessons. When he was five, he could make up his own music. His father, who was a musician, took the children through many different countries. They played music for kings and queens. Wherever they went, they were welcomed. Some people didn't believe that such a young boy could write beautiful music. They thought that it must have been written by his father or someone else. So they asked Mozart to stay in a room by himself for a week. Someone watched the room all the time to make sure that no one could talk with him. At the end of the week, he finished the music for the church choir. Mozart loved music so much that he was living with it all day and all night. Though he worked hard, he couldn't make much money. Sometimes he borrowed money from his friends.

有些人不相信这样年幼的一个男孩儿能写出美妙的音乐。他们认为这一定是由他的父亲或其他人写的。因此,他们让莫扎特单独待在一个房间里一周。有人一直盯着这个房间,以确保没有人能和他说话。在这周结束的时候,他完成了教堂唱诗班的音乐。

25. Mozart loved music but ______.
A.didn't love his family
B.didn't love his life

[考点] 事实细节题
[解析] 题干大意是:Mozart热爱音乐但是______。根据最后一段前两句“Mozart loved music so much that he was living with it all day and all night...he couldn't make much money.”可知,莫扎特如此热爱音乐,以至他整日整夜地与音乐为伴;他虽然工作努力,但赚不了多少钱。故选C。

五、句子写作正误判断 (每小题2分,共30分)
1. More schools are built(A) in rural areas(B) up to now to provide(C) children with(D) good education.
A B C D
A
[解析] 到目前为止已在农村地区建造了更多的学校,以便为孩子们提供良好的教育。
应改为have been built。根据句中的时间状语up to now(到目前为止)可知,本句应用现在完成时,表示过去的某一动作或行为一直持续到现在,而且还有可能延续下去。根据句意可知,More schools和build(建造)之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,因此句子应用现在完成时的被动语态,即谓语动词用“have/has been+过去分词”的形式,所以应把are built改为have been built。
2. He decides(A) to pay a visit to(B) the university when(C) he studied physics four years ago(D).
14. Lack of(A) exercise is also a risk factor for(B) heart disease, but(C) it is relatively small when comparing with(D) others.
A B C D
D
[解析] 缺乏锻炼也是导致心脏病的一个危险因素,但和其他因素相比,这种危险较小。
应改为compared with/it is compared with。根据句意可知,it和compare(比较)之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用过去分词,表示被动,所以应把comparing with改为compared with。过去分词前加连词when是为了强调其作时间状语。另外,也可将when compared with others看作省略和主句相同的主语it和be动词is的状语从句,其完整形式为when it is compared with others,所以也可把comparing with改为is compared with。
15. Surface irrigation is the oldest irrigation method(A) and now it's still used(B) in two threes(C) of farmland(D).
