Why are polar bears white Why do rabbits have long ears Why do zebras have stripes (条纹) It’s all about survival. Wild animals normally focus their efforts on two important tasks. One task is to look for things to eat. While they do that, they have to avoid getting eaten! They can’t afford to ignore any dangers around them. Life is just one long game of hide-and-seek. Luckily for them, the way they look usually helps them. The zebra is a very good example.
Zebras usually travel in large groups. Imagine a hundred zebras moving together across the grassland: in Africa. Not far away, a lioness is lying on a tree branch, resting. She is waiting for her chance to attack. The zebras are getting nearer, but they’ re running very close together. Now she’s seen them, and she’s getting ready: she knows she’ll soon have a zebra to kill.
The lioness’s goal is to catch a zebra for breakfast. There is no place to hide, but the zebras have a secret line of defence; their stripes.
Lions are colour-blind. As the zebras move in a large group, it’s hard for the lioness to see which zebra to attack. All she sees is a big mass of black and white stripes. She’s not sure what to do. Breakfast must wait. The animals are always trying to hide from her.
But do zebras’ stripes cause problems for other zebras as they do for lions No, they don’t. Actually, the purpose of the stripes in this case is to help zebras recognize each other. Every zebra has an individual pattern of stripes and zoologists believe this is how zebras know who is who in the group. A mother zebra always recognizes her child among the crowd because its stripes are just a little different from the others.
4. Why are zebras and lions mentioned
A. To give examples. B. To make comparisons.
C. To stress the importance of animals. D. To encourage people to protect animals.
5. Why does the lioness fail to catch a zebra for breakfast
A. The lioness is colour-blind. B. The lioness is hiding from others.
C. The lioness is afraid of the zebras. D. The lioness is waiting for another chance.
6. What do we know about zebras’ stripes
A. The stripes help them hide in the forest.
B. Some zebras share the same stripe pattern.
C. Zebras can recognize each other by their stripes.
D. The stripes can sometimes cause problems for zebras.
7. What’s the best title for the text
A. Hide and Seek B. Attack and Defence
C. Zebras and Lionesses D. Appearance and Survival
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了动物的外观一定程度上关系到它们的生存，文章通过斑马和狮子的例子来说明了这一点。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The zebra is a very good example.(斑马就是一个很好的例子)”；第二段“Zebras usually travel in large groups. Imagine a hundred zebras moving together across the grassland: in Africa. Not far away, a lioness is lying on a tree branch, resting. She is waiting for her chance to attack. The zebras are getting nearer, but they’re running very close together. Now she’s seen them, and she’s getting ready: she knows she’ll soon have a zebra to kill.(斑马通常成群结队。想象一下，在非洲，一百只斑马一起穿过草原。不远处，一只母狮正躺在树枝上休息。它在等待进攻的机会。斑马越来越近了，但它们跑得很近。现在她看到了它们，她已经做好了准备:她知道她很快就会有一只斑马可以猎杀)”以及倒数第二段“Lions are colour-blind. As the zebras move in a large group, it’s hard for the lioness to see which zebra to attack. All she sees is a big mass of black and white stripes. She’s not sure what to do. Breakfast must wait. (狮子是色盲。由于斑马是一大群，母狮很难判断该攻击哪只斑马。她只看到一大块黑白条纹。她不知道该怎么办。早餐必须等一等)”可推知，提到斑马和狮子是为了举例说明外观对生存的重要性。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Lions are colour-blind. As the zebras move in a large group, it’s hard for the lioness to see which zebra to attack. All she sees is a big mass of black and white stripes. She’s not sure what to do. Breakfast must wait. (狮子是色盲。由于斑马是一大群，母狮很难判断该攻击哪只斑马。她只看到一大块黑白条纹。她不知道该怎么办。早餐必须等一等)”可知，母狮抓不到斑马当早餐是因为母狮是色盲。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Actually, the purpose of the stripes in this case is to help zebras recognize each other.(实际上，在这种情况下，条纹的目的是帮助斑马识别彼此)”可知，斑马可以通过身上的条纹来识别彼此。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s all about survival. Wild animals normally focus their efforts on two important tasks. One task is to look for things to eat. While they do that, they have to avoid getting eaten! They can’t afford to ignore any dangers around them. Life is just one long game of hide-and-seek. Luckily for them, the way they look usually helps them.(一切都是为了生存。野生动物通常把精力集中在两个重要的任务上。其中一项任务是寻找吃的东西。当它们这样做的时候，它们必须避免被吃掉！他们不能忽视周围的任何危险。人生就是一场漫长的捉迷藏游戏。幸运的是，他们的外表通常会帮助他们)”结合文章主要说明了动物的外观一定程度上关系到它们的生存，文章通过斑马和狮子的例子来说明了这一点。可知，D选项“外观与生存”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
Starting to run at 60 has certainly turned my life upside down. I made a bucket list and managed to tick off a few things already. And then I started running.
I heard about a running program in Delhi. It targeted women who had never run before, with the aim of getting non-runners fit enough to run 6 kilometers in 10 weeks.
Despite the painful slowness and my constant out-of-breath state, what emerged from the early morning runs was a definite sense of happiness. At the end of a run, I felt better, happier, and energized. I’d started running because, at my age, I felt I needed to be active, and here I was bursting with energy and getting stronger by the week.
In February this year, I ran my second full marathon and won a gold medal in my category. There was also the silver in my first full marathon and my first half marathon. It’s been a journey of nothing but fun. I run. And I was hooked.
There have been moments of aches and pains, tripping and falling down, but these are nothing compared to the thrill of taking part in your first ever race, at 60. The aches are nothing compared to the energizing rush you get at the end of a run. In the early days, there were also many moments of self-doubt. Those moments were far worse than the occasional aches, but the joy of running quickly outweighed the bad.
Conclusion “Start running” was the best thing to add to my bucket list, and if you haven’t yet done so, please, do it right now.
8. What do we know about the running program in Delhi
A. It aimed to help female non-runners to run. B. It trained professional runners in 10 weeks.
C. It refused women with no running experience. D. It required runners to run 6 kilometers every day.
9 Why did the author decide to start running at 60
A. To case her pain. B. To challenge herself.
C. To be more energetic. D. To win medals in marathons.
10. Which word can best describe the author

11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the article
A. To describe the importance of keeping fit. B. To explain why running is good for seniors.
C. To advertise the running program she attends. D. To share her running experience and promote running.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Despite the painful slowness and my constant out-of-breath state, what emerged from the early morning runs was a definite sense of happiness. At the end of a run, I felt better, happier, and energized. I’d started running because, at my age, I felt I needed to be active, and here I was bursting with energy and getting stronger by the week.(尽管跑得慢得让人痛苦，而且我经常上气不接下气，但清晨跑步带来的却是一种明确的幸福感。在跑步结束时，我感觉更好，更快乐，更有活力。我开始跑步是因为，在我这个年纪，我觉得我需要活跃起来，在这里我充满了能量，一周比一周强壮)可知，作者决定在60岁开始跑步是为了更有活力。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“There have been moments of aches and pains, tripping and falling down, but these are nothing compared to the thrill of taking part in your first ever race, at 60. The aches are nothing compared to the energizing rush you get at the end of a run.(有过疼痛、绊倒、摔倒的时候，但这些都比不上60岁第一次参加比赛时的兴奋。与跑步结束后的精力充沛相比，这些疼痛根本不算什么)”可推知，跑步痛苦但是作者还是坚持下来了，说明作者很坚定。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Start running” was the best thing to add to my bucket list, and if you haven’t yet done so, please, do it right now. (“开始跑步”是我遗愿清单上最好的一件事，如果你还没有这么做，请现在就开始吧)”结合文章主要讲述了作者60岁开始跑步来保持活力的经历，建议人们开始跑步。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是分享跑步经验，推广跑步。故选D。
D
The printed book is back. Recent studies have shown that students absorb more information when they read a hard-copy book compared to reading on a digital device. One school responded to these findings by abandoning its e-readers. The students found that it was convenient to look through the pages when using a traditional book. E-books may come with a “suite of navigational tools”, but it turns out that the best navigational devices are your forefinger and thumb. You can use them to flip the pages forward and backward. All this time, those devices have just been sitting there at the ends of your arms.
Can a traditional book offer all the features of an e-book Unfortunately, no. It lacks a “progress bar” indicating what percentage of the book has been read. Luckily, a traditional book will naturally form two halves joined in the middle. If the left-hand chunk is thicker than the right-hand one, you are more than halfway through.
Fans of the e-book point out that digital text is easy to annotate. Some devices even feature a little image of a pencil to guide the reader through the process of note-taking. Traditional-book users have a similar system called a “pencil”. With it, favoured passages can be underlined and, comments can be written in the margin.
The printed book, of course, has other advantages. A full bookshelf is a store of knowledge. It’s a map of your life as a reader: the passions that passed and those that endured. There are books that introduced you to other books, like friends at a party, and books that nursed you through difficult times.
12. Why do printed books return
A. They are cheaper. B. They can last longer.
C. They can store knowledge. D. They are easier to look through.
13. What does the underlined word “annotate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. To add notes. B. To copy and paste.
C. To sign your name. D. To analyze sentences.
14. What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A. The importance of having a bookshelf. B. The ways to introduce books to friends.
C. The reasons why you need a bookshelf. D. The life experience hidden behind books.
15. What’s the author’s opinion about books
A. E-books are better than printed books. B. Books should be stored on bookshelves.
C. Features in e-books are extremely helpful. D. Traditional books can serve the readers well enough.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了纸质书再度受欢迎，将纸质书与电子书进行比较，分析了二者的优点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The students found that it was convenient to look through the pages when using a traditional book. E-books may come with a “suite of navigational tools”, but it turns out that the best navigational devices are your forefinger and thumb. You can use them to flip the pages forward and backward.(学生们发现，在使用传统书籍时，翻阅书页很方便。电子书可能会附带“一套导航工具”，但事实证明，最好的导航设备是你的食指和拇指。你可以用它们来前后翻页)”可知，纸质书会回归是因为它们更容易看。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Some devices even feature a little image of a pencil to guide the reader through the process of note-taking.(有些设备甚至会有一个铅笔的小图像来指导读者完成笔记的过程)”可知，此处指数字文本很容易注释。故划线词意思是“注释”。故选A。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The printed book, of course, has other advantages. A full bookshelf is a store of knowledge. It’s a map of your life as a reader: the passions that passed and those that endured. There are books that introduced you to other books, like friends at a party, and books that nursed you through difficult times.(当然，纸质书还有其他优点。满书架是知识的宝库。它是你作为读者的生活地图：过去的激情和持久的激情。有些书会把你介绍给其他的书，就像聚会上的朋友，有些书会在你困难的时候照顾你)”可知，最后一段主要讲隐藏在书本背后的人生经历。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Luckily, a traditional book will naturally form two halves joined in the middle. If the left-hand chunk is thicker than the right-hand one, you are more than halfway through.(幸运的是，传统的书自然会形成中间相连的两半。如果左手那块比右手那块厚，你就已经看了一半多了)”；第三段“Traditional-book users have a similar system called a “pencil”. With it, favoured passages can be underlined and, comments can be written in the margin.(传统的图书用户有一个类似的系统，叫做“铅笔”。有了它，喜欢的段落可以下划线，评论可以写在空白处)”以及最后一段“The printed book, of course, has other advantages. (当然，纸质书还有其他优点)”可推知，作者认为传统书籍可以很好地为读者服务。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Day Mother Cried
Coming home from school that dark winter’s day so long ago, I was filled with anticipation. I had a new issue of my favorite sports magazine under my arm. Dad was at work, my sister was away, and Mother wouldn’t be home from her new job for an hour.
I was shocked into stillness by what I saw . Mother pulled into a tight ball with her face in her hands. She was crying. I had never seen her cry.
I approached cautiously and touched her shoulder. “Mother ” I said. “What’s happened ”
She took a long breath and managed a weak smile. “It’s nothing, really. I’m going to lose this new job. I can’t type fast enough.”
“But you’ve only been there three for days,” I said. “You’ll catch on.” I was repeating a line she had spoken to me a hundred times when I was having trouble learning or doing something important to me. She sobbed in silence .
I felt helpless and out of place. At the age of 16 I still assumed Mother could do anything. To provide enough income for my college two years later, Mother was crazy for ways to save money.
A few months ago, Mother arrived home with an old typewriter. It skipped between certain letters. “That’s all we can afford,” Mother said. “It’s good enough to learn on.” And from that day on, immediately after dinner, Mother would disappear into her sewing room to practice. The slow tap, tap, tap went on some nights until midnight. On Monday, she got a job as a typewriter at a radio station. I was not the least bit surprised but she was excited. But on Tuesday Mother looked drawn. I didn’t care honestly.
My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears on Wednesday showed how little I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the couch, I began very slowly to understand.
“I guess we all have to fail sometimes,” Mother said quietly. I could sense her pain. I reached out and put my arms around her.
A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station had offered. “It’s a job I can do,” she said simply.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
But the evening practice routine on the old green typewriter continued.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The old green typewriter sits in my office now, unrepaired.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
But the evening practice routine on the old green typewriter continued. Every time I passed her door at night and heard her tapping away, I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type. When I left for college two years later, Mother had an office job with better pay and more responsibility. I have to believe that in some strange way she learned as much from her moment of defeat as I did, because after graduation, when I became a newspaper reporter, she had already been a journalist with our hometown paper.
The old green typewriter sits in my office now, unrepaired. It is a souvenir. When I’m having trouble with a story and think about giving up or when I start to feel sorry for myself, I roll a piece of paper into that old machine and type, word by painful word, just the way mother did. What I remember then is not her failure, but her courage, the courage to go ahead. It’s the best souvenir anyone ever gave me.

Why are polar bears white Why do rabbits have long ears Why do zebras have stripes (条纹) It’s all about survival. Wild animals normally focus their efforts on two important tasks. One task is to look for things to eat. While they do that, they have to avoid getting eaten! They can’t afford to ignore any dangers around them. Life is just one long game of hide-and-seek. Luckily for them, the way they look usually helps them. The zebra is a very good example.
Zebras usually travel in large groups. Imagine a hundred zebras moving together across the grassland: in Africa. Not far away, a lioness is lying on a tree branch, resting. She is waiting for her chance to attack. The zebras are getting nearer, but they’ re running very close together. Now she’s seen them, and she’s getting ready: she knows she’ll soon have a zebra to kill.
The lioness’s goal is to catch a zebra for breakfast. There is no place to hide, but the zebras have a secret line of defence; their stripes.
Lions are colour-blind. As the zebras move in a large group, it’s hard for the lioness to see which zebra to attack. All she sees is a big mass of black and white stripes. She’s not sure what to do. Breakfast must wait. The animals are always trying to hide from her.
But do zebras’ stripes cause problems for other zebras as they do for lions No, they don’t. Actually, the purpose of the stripes in this case is to help zebras recognize each other. Every zebra has an individual pattern of stripes and zoologists believe this is how zebras know who is who in the group. A mother zebra always recognizes her child among the crowd because its stripes are just a little different from the others.
4. Why are zebras and lions mentioned
A. To give examples. B. To make comparisons.
C. To stress the importance of animals. D. To encourage people to protect animals.
5. Why does the lioness fail to catch a zebra for breakfast
A. The lioness is colour-blind. B. The lioness is hiding from others.
C. The lioness is afraid of the zebras. D. The lioness is waiting for another chance.
6. What do we know about zebras’ stripes
A. The stripes help them hide in the forest.
B. Some zebras share the same stripe pattern.
C. Zebras can recognize each other by their stripes.
D. The stripes can sometimes cause problems for zebras.
7. What’s the best title for the text
A. Hide and Seek B. Attack and Defence
C. Zebras and Lionesses D. Appearance and Survival

Starting to run at 60 has certainly turned my life upside down. I made a bucket list and managed to tick off a few things already. And then I started running.
I heard about a running program in Delhi. It targeted women who had never run before, with the aim of getting non-runners fit enough to run 6 kilometers in 10 weeks.
Despite the painful slowness and my constant out-of-breath state, what emerged from the early morning runs was a definite sense of happiness. At the end of a run, I felt better, happier, and energized. I’d started running because, at my age, I felt I needed to be active, and here I was bursting with energy and getting stronger by the week.
In February this year, I ran my second full marathon and won a gold medal in my category. There was also the silver in my first full marathon and my first half marathon. It’s been a journey of nothing but fun. I run. And I was hooked.
There have been moments of aches and pains, tripping and falling down, but these are nothing compared to the thrill of taking part in your first ever race, at 60. The aches are nothing compared to the energizing rush you get at the end of a run. In the early days, there were also many moments of self-doubt. Those moments were far worse than the occasional aches, but the joy of running quickly outweighed the bad.
Conclusion “Start running” was the best thing to add to my bucket list, and if you haven’t yet done so, please, do it right now.
8. What do we know about the running program in Delhi
A. It aimed to help female non-runners to run. B. It trained professional runners in 10 weeks.
C. It refused women with no running experience. D. It required runners to run 6 kilometers every day.
9. Why did the author decide to start running at 60
A. To case her pain. B. To challenge herself.
C. To be more energetic. D. To win medals in marathons.
10. Which word can best describe the author
A. Sensitive. B. Determined. C. Generous. D. Responsible.
11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the article
A. To describe the importance of keeping fit. B. To explain why running is good for seniors.
C. To advertise the running program she attends. D. To share her running experience and promote running.
D
The printed book is back. Recent studies have shown that students absorb more information when they read a hard-copy book compared to reading on a digital device. One school responded to these findings by abandoning its e-readers. The students found that it was convenient to look through the pages when using a traditional book. E-books may come with a “suite of navigational tools”, but it turns out that the best navigational devices are your forefinger and thumb. You can use them to flip the pages forward and backward. All this time, those devices have just been sitting there at the ends of your arms.
Can a traditional book offer all the features of an e-book Unfortunately, no. It lacks a “progress bar” indicating what percentage of the book has been read. Luckily, a traditional book will naturally form two halves joined in the middle. If the left-hand chunk is thicker than the right-hand one, you are more than halfway through.
Fans of the e-book point out that digital text is easy to annotate. Some devices even feature a little image of a pencil to guide the reader through the process of note-taking. Traditional-book users have a similar system called a “pencil”. With it, favoured passages can be underlined and, comments can be written in the margin.
The printed book, of course, has other advantages. A full bookshelf is a store of knowledge. It’s a map of your life as a reader: the passions that passed and those that endured. There are books that introduced you to other books, like friends at a party, and books that nursed you through difficult times.
12. Why do printed books return
A. They are cheaper. B. They can last longer.
C. They can store knowledge. D. They are easier to look through.
13. What does the underlined word “annotate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. To add notes. B. To copy and paste.
C To sign your name. D. To analyze sentences.
14. What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A. The importance of having a bookshelf. B. The ways to introduce books to friends.
C. The reasons why you need a bookshelf. D. The life experience hidden behind books.
15 What’s the author’s opinion about books
A. E-books are better than printed books. B. Books should be stored on bookshelves.
C Features in e-books are extremely helpful. D. Traditional books can serve the readers well enough.

The Day Mother Cried
Coming home from school that dark winter’s day so long ago, I was filled with anticipation. I had a new issue of my favorite sports magazine under my arm. Dad was at work, my sister was away, and Mother wouldn’t be home from her new job for an hour.
I was shocked into stillness by what I saw . Mother pulled into a tight ball with her face in her hands. She was crying. I had never seen her cry.
I approached cautiously and touched her shoulder. “Mother ” I said. “What’s happened ”
She took a long breath and managed a weak smile. “It’s nothing, really. I’m going to lose this new job. I can’t type fast enough.”
“But you’ve only been there three for days,” I said. “You’ll catch on.” I was repeating a line she had spoken to me a hundred times when I was having trouble learning or doing something important to me. She sobbed in silence .
I felt helpless and out of place. At the age of 16 I still assumed Mother could do anything. To provide enough income for my college two years later, Mother was crazy for ways to save money.
A few months ago, Mother arrived home with an old typewriter. It skipped between certain letters. “That’s all we can afford,” Mother said. “It’s good enough to learn on.” And from that day on, immediately after dinner, Mother would disappear into her sewing room to practice. The slow tap, tap, tap went on some nights until midnight. On Monday, she got a job as a typewriter at a radio station. I was not the least bit surprised but she was excited. But on Tuesday Mother looked drawn. I didn’t care honestly.
My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears on Wednesday showed how little I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the couch, I began very slowly to understand.
“I guess we all have to fail sometimes,” Mother said quietly. I could sense her pain. I reached out and put my arms around her.
A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station had offered. “It’s a job I can do,” she said simply.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
But the evening practice routine on the old green typewriter continued.
