If you had to choose one word to describe Kevin, it might be “slow.” He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came first in the schoolyard races. However, his smile was bright and he showed great interest in everything. So when discovering that Randy was putting together a boys’ basketball team, Kevin immediately joined.
At practice, Kevin worked so hard that you’d have thought he was preparing for the NBA. And the whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game doesn’t help you win. They lost every game that season by very large margin(差距), except one …that night it snowed and the other team couldn’t make it to the game.
At the end of the season, the boys unfortunately played against the first-place team. The game went pretty much as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind. At that point, one of Kevin’s teammates called time-out. “Coach, this is our last game but Kevin has never made a basket. We should let him try,” said the boy. With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable. So every time Kevin’s team had the ball, they would give it to Kevin. His first shot missed and he missed another shot again. This continued a few more times until the player from the other team grew wise. Instead of running off down the court, he threw the ball to Kevin who shot... and missed again.
Soon, all players were circling Kevin, throwing the ball to him. The whole gymnasium thundered with the clapping, chanting, “Kevin! Kevin!” Finally, after amounts of tries, the ball went in. Kevin’s arms shot high into the air and he shouted, “I won! I won!” The first-place team remained unbeaten, but on that evening, everyone left the game truly feeling like a winner.
4. What helped Kevin’s team “win” one game that season
A Their improved skills. B. Kevin’s hard work.
C. The other team’s absence. D. The pleasant weather.
5. Why did one of Kevin’s teammates call time-out
A. To get their coach’s directions. B. To give Kevin a chance to shoot.
C. To have a break and gather strength. D. To discuss strategies to win the game.
6. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Kevin’s team failed due to his bad skills. B. Kevin’s teammates were all experienced.
C. The first-place team lost the game in the end. D. All players and audience gave Kevin encouragement.

It’s very likely that at some point, whether in school or elsewhere, you’ve come across pi, the mathematical term which is about 3.142 and most commonly represented by the Greek letter “π” .
Pi has interested people around the world for over 4,000 years. Many mathematicians — from famous ones such as Fibonacci, Newton, Leibniz, and Gauss to lesser well-known mathematical minds — have toiled over pi, calculated its digits (数位), and applied it in many areas of mathematics. Some spent the better parts of their lives calculating just a few digits.
In 2009, the United States House of Representatives recognized March 14 as National Pi Day. For Pi Day 2010, Google presented a Google Doodle celebrating the day, with the word Google laid over images of circles and pi symbols. The entire month of March 2014 (3/14) was observed by some as “Pi Month”. In the year 2015, pi Day had special significance on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53 a.m. and also at p.m., with the date and time representing the first 10 digits of π.
Pi Day has been observed in many ways, including eating pies, throwing pies and discussing the significance of the number π, due to a pun (双关语) based on the words “pi” and “pie” in English, as well as pies tending to be round, and thus related to π. Massachusetts Institute of Technology has often mailed its application decision letters to would-be students for delivery on Pi Day. Starting in 2012, MIT has announced it will post those decisions privately online on Pi Day.
8. What does the underlined part “toiled over” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Fought against. B. Noted down. C. Worked on. D. Broke into.
9. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. Pi Day became official in the USA in 2010. B. Pi Day has become a worldwide holiday.
C. Google designed a Doodle for Pi Day. D. Pi Month referred to March, 2015.
10. Why are π and “pie” related
A. They sound similar. B. They are both mysterious.
C. They are valuable in math. D. They are useful in our life.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Pi Day is gaining popularity B. People celebrate strange festivals
C. MIT officially announces Pi Day D. Researches on Pi are making progress
D
Parrots have been known to imitate words, but have you ever thought how they communicate The sounds they make may sound meaningless to us, but new research has found that wild parrots are actually given names by their parents.
According to a study led by Karl Berg of Cornell University in the US, baby birds are given a unique sound of their own, which stays with them for their entire lives.
In the study, the team placed hidden cameras in the nests of 17 different wild parrots. After studying their sounds, the team identified slight differences in the calls parents used to communicate with each chick. And even before the baby birds had learned to communicate properly, the baby birds seemed to recognize and imitate their calls.
Sounds very similar to humans, doesn’t it
The study also proved that these signature calls are acquired socially not genetically. To do this, scientists switched the eggs in nine of the 17 nests, so that half of the parrots were raising baby birds that weren’t theirs. Using the recordings, the scientists concluded the baby birds all used names similar to those the parents (whether biological or nonbiological) called them for the first weeks of their lives.
Lucie McNeil, from National Geographic, said, “this would be the first [proven] example of a non-human species teaching acoustical (声学的) communication.”
Lead scientist for the study, Karl Berg told National Public Radio of the US, “Most people say, ‘Well, all those calls are just noise,’ but I think they’re having conversations.”
Fox News also asked Berg what else the parrots might be saying He replied, “The theory is that these birds are deciding where the food is, ‘Do we want to go 3 km North-Northwest ’ “Do we want to go to that field ’ They are sort of arguing or discussing.”
Natural science author, Virginia Morell, wrote: “Very gradually, scientists are learning to decode the conversations of very different animals that live lives rich with plans, quarrels, and romance.”
You never know, if the science of animal translation keeps advancing, we might one day be watching a reality series about parrots.
12. What did the new research find about wild parrots
A. They can talk by learning from people.
B. The sounds they make are meaningless.
C. They have names given by their parents.
D. They have a unique way of making sounds.
13. What does the study suggest
A. Different parrots are called differently by their parents.
B. Baby parrots can tell who their biological parents are.
C. Baby parrots can mimic their biological parents’ calls better.
D. Parrots are the most skilled animals in acoustical communication.
14. Why did the scientists switch the eggs in the study
A. To see whether the parents could recognize their own babies.
B. To see whether the parrots made the same sounds all their lives.
C. To see whether the signature calls were acquired socially or genetically.
D. To see whether biological and nonbiological parents named babies differently.
15. The underlined word “decode” in the second-to-last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. imitate B. understand
C. practice D. create

It’s very likely that at some point, whether in school or elsewhere, you’ve come across pi, the mathematical term which is about 3.142 and most commonly represented by the Greek letter “π” .
Pi has interested people around the world for over 4,000 years. Many mathematicians — from famous ones such as Fibonacci, Newton, Leibniz, and Gauss to lesser well-known mathematical minds — have toiled over pi, calculated its digits (数位), and applied it in many areas of mathematics. Some spent the better parts of their lives calculating just a few digits.
In 2009, the United States House of Representatives recognized March 14 as National Pi Day. For Pi Day 2010, Google presented a Google Doodle celebrating the day, with the word Google laid over images of circles and pi symbols. The entire month of March 2014 (3/14) was observed by some as “Pi Month”. In the year 2015, pi Day had special significance on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53 a.m. and also at p.m., with the date and time representing the first 10 digits of π.
Pi Day has been observed in many ways, including eating pies, throwing pies and discussing the significance of the number π, due to a pun (双关语) based on the words “pi” and “pie” in English, as well as pies tending to be round, and thus related to π. Massachusetts Institute of Technology has often mailed its application decision letters to would-be students for delivery on Pi Day. Starting in 2012, MIT has announced it will post those decisions privately online on Pi Day.
8. What does the underlined part “toiled over” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Fought against. B. Noted down. C. Worked on. D. Broke into.
9. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. Pi Day became official in the USA in 2010. B. Pi Day has become a worldwide holiday.
C. Google designed a Doodle for Pi Day. D. Pi Month referred to March, 2015.
10. Why are π and “pie” related
A. They sound similar. B. They are both mysterious.
C. They are valuable in math. D. They are useful in our life.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Pi Day is gaining popularity B. People celebrate strange festivals
C. MIT officially announces Pi Day D. Researches on Pi are making progress

Parrots have been known to imitate words, but have you ever thought how they communicate The sounds they make may sound meaningless to us, but new research has found that wild parrots are actually given names by their parents.
According to a study led by Karl Berg of Cornell University in the US, baby birds are given a unique sound of their own, which stays with them for their entire lives.
In the study, the team placed hidden cameras in the nests of 17 different wild parrots. After studying their sounds, the team identified slight differences in the calls parents used to communicate with each chick. And even before the baby birds had learned to communicate properly, the baby birds seemed to recognize and imitate their calls.
Sounds very similar to humans, doesn’t it
The study also proved that these signature calls are acquired socially not genetically. To do this, scientists switched the eggs in nine of the 17 nests, so that half of the parrots were raising baby birds that weren’t theirs. Using the recordings, the scientists concluded the baby birds all used names similar to those the parents (whether biological or nonbiological) called them for the first weeks of their lives.
Lucie McNeil, from National Geographic, said, “this would be the first [proven] example of a non-human species teaching acoustical (声学的) communication.”
Lead scientist for the study, Karl Berg told National Public Radio of the US, “Most people say, ‘Well, all those calls are just noise,’ but I think they’re having conversations.”
Fox News also asked Berg what else the parrots might be saying He replied, “The theory is that these birds are deciding where the food is, ‘Do we want to go 3 km North-Northwest ’ “Do we want to go to that field ’ They are sort of arguing or discussing.”
Natural science author, Virginia Morell, wrote: “Very gradually, scientists are learning to decode the conversations of very different animals that live lives rich with plans, quarrels, and romance.”
You never know, if the science of animal translation keeps advancing, we might one day be watching a reality series about parrots.
12. What did the new research find about wild parrots
A. They can talk by learning from people.
B. The sounds they make are meaningless.
C. They have names given by their parents.
D. They have a unique way of making sounds.
13. What does the study suggest
A. Different parrots are called differently by their parents.
B. Baby parrots can tell who their biological parents are.
C. Baby parrots can mimic their biological parents’ calls better.
D. Parrots are the most skilled animals in acoustical communication.
14. Why did the scientists switch the eggs in the study
A. To see whether the parents could recognize their own babies.
B. To see whether the parrots made the same sounds all their lives.
C. To see whether the signature calls were acquired socially or genetically.
D. To see whether biological and nonbiological parents named babies differently.
15 The underlined word “decode” in the second-to-last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. imitate B. understand
C. practice D. create
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Using the recordings, the scientists concluded the baby birds all used names similar to those the parents (whether biological or nonbiological) called them for the first weeks of their lives.”可知，科学家在研究中变换了鹦鹉蛋是想看这些标志性的叫声是通过社交还是基因获得的，故C项正确。
【15题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文 “The theory is that these birds are deciding where the food is, ‘Do we want to go 3 km North-Northwest ’ “Do we want to go to that field ’ They are sort of arguing or discussing.”可知，科学家是对鹦鹉的交流方式展开的研究，目的自然是破译动物之间的对话，由此可知画线词词义为“理解”，故B项正确。
【点睛】本篇第4题词义猜测题的难度较大，抓住研究的目的是关键，根据第一段中的“but have you ever thought how they communicate ”可知，科学家是对鹦鹉的交流方式展开的研究的，发现野生鹦鹉出生的时候父母就给它们起了名字，目的自然是破译动物之间的对话，由此可知画线词词义为“理解”。

【20题详解】
