People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.
The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind. the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.
Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.
The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.

Noise alert
Crying babies. Buzzing mosquitoes. Ringing car alarms. They are all annoying noises. But what’s the worst A recent survey lists the things we hate to hear.
The list of horrible noises had over 100 items. Several mobile phone ringtones appear near the top. Other noises include barking dogs, pneumatic drills (风钻). electric leaf blowers, loud snoring and banging noises early on a Sunday morning.
However, number-one on the list was the sound of a dentist’s drill, “That just sends shivers down my spine,” said one person. “After a visit to the dentist, I sometimes wake up at night with that sound in my head. It’s horrible.” said another.” I’ve seen patients shaking with fear when I bring out the drill,” explained a dentist. Of course, anyone who’s actually been to the dentist and heard the sound will probably agree with that.
But there’s some good news. A new device (设备) developed by experts at universities can cancel out the sound of the drill. The tiny gadget (小装置) allows patients to listen to music on an MP3 player while the sound of the drill is canceled out. However, patients are still able to hear the dentist’s voice because not all sounds are filtered (过滤) out.
The theory behind it is fairly simple. Microphones are placed close to the dental drill. These pick up any sounds and change them into digital signals. Then, electronic filters cancel out any unwanted sound waves. However, the great thing is that this technology also allows others noises ( such as the dentist’s voice) to come through.
It’s easy to use, too. Patients simply plug the device into their MP3 players. Then, via headphones, they can listen to music and hear the dentist’s voice without being disturbed by the noise of the drill. Fantastic!
So, next time you go to the dentist, remember to bring your MP3 player.

A．Barking dogs. B．A dentist’s drill.
C．Electric leaf blowers. D．A mobile phone.

A．how the sound-filtering device works
B．who invented the sound-filtering device
C．what the sound-filtering device is made of
D．how the sound-filtering device was invented
21．Which of the following statements is true about the new device

“I wish you a good day, Uncle,” said Dete, as she walked towards him, “and I have brought you Tobias and Adelaide’s child. You may not recognize (认出) her, as you have never seen her since she was one year old.” Hearing that the old man asked curtly. “But what has the child to do with me up here ” Dete made answer, “The child is here to stay with you. I have done my duty for these four years, and I have to go because the family I had waited on asked me to go to Frankfurt. You are the next of kin (亲属) to the child.”
As she uttered (说出) her last words, Uncle looked at her and said to her in a commanding voice, “Get back, and do not let me see your face again.” Dete did not—wait to be told twice. “Good-bye to you then, and to you too, Heidi,” she called.
As soon as Dete had disappeared, the old man went back to his bench. Heidi, meanwhile, was enjoying herself in her new surroundings.
“Come!” and the grandfather went before her towards the hut.
“Bring your clothes in with you,” he asked her as she was following. “I shan’t want them any more” was her prompt answer. The old man turned and looked searchingly at the child, whose dark eyes were sparkling in delighted hope of what she was going to see inside. “She is certainly not wanting wisdom,” he murmured to himself. “And why shall you not want them any more ” he asked aloud. “Because I want to go about like the goats with their thin light legs.” Heidi asked, “Where am I to sleep, grandfather ”
“Wherever you like,” he answered.
Heidi was delighted. In the corner near her grandfather’s bed she saw a short ladder against the wall; up she climbed and found herself in the ha y loft. “I shall sleep up here, grandfather,” she called down to him, “It’s lovely, up e up and see how lovely it is!”
“Oh, I know all about it,” he called up in answer.
In the middle of the night the old man got up. “The child will be frightened,” he tnumured. He mounted the ladder and went and stood by the child’s bed. Outside the moonlight was falling through the round window straight on to Heidi’s bed. She lay under the heavy cover lid, her cheeks rosy with sleep, her head peacefully resting on her little round arm, and with a happy expression on her baby face as if dreaming of something pleasant. The old man stood looking down on the sleeping child until the moon disappeared behind the clouds and he could see no more, then he went back to bed.
—— Excerpt from Heidi, written by Johanna Spyri

It is believed that a good memory comes naturally, while a bad memory cannot be changed. 26 Here is some advice for you.
▲ Take an interest.
27 This can explain the reason why schoolboys remember football results clearly but have trouble with dates from their history lessons.
▲ Repeat things in chunks（块）.
Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time. 28 The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483. But look at them in groups or chunks repeatedly and it becomes much easier: 149 217 8919 318 483.
▲ 29
To remember long lists, try inventing a story which includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments（实验）, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this way. When tested later, they could remember about 90% of them. The test result was really amazing.
▲ Take physical exercise.
Physical exercise is important for your memory, because it sends more oxygen（氧气） to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. 30 As we know, too much pressure is very bad for the memory.
A．Invent a story.
B．Putting numbers in groups may help you remember them.
C．Remember a list.
D．Exercise also makes you less stressed.
E．Boys always do better than girls in school.
F．In fact, you can do a lot to improve your memory.
G．We all remember interesting things and always forget boring ones.

They started by emptying all the closets（橱柜）, finding the items the client really needed.
They also improved the layout（布局）of the closets, adding more boxes to better classify（分类） items. “There were so many clothes that we had to sit on the floor during our lunch break as this was the only free space.” Li said. After the work was done, the client was surprised to see her house become tidier and brighter. “It was then that I realized our work wasn’t only about organizing things but bring brighter moods to clients and let them wake up every morning with a better view,” Li added.
Li said that understanding design is necessary for the job. This knowledge helps the consultant quickly come up with a plan. Being able to deal with unexpected situations is also needed for being decluttering consultants. Even the smallest and simplest rooms bring about problems like limiting the possibility for a new layout.
54．How was the client’s house after Li’s work
55．What is needed for the job of a decluttering consultant

1．句意：我拿着割草机，在我们附近走来走去，问是否有人想要割草。

good好的；old旧的；expensive昂贵的；modern现代的。由下文“It wasn’t electric or gas-powered. It was called ‘pushing power’”可知，作者的割草机不是电动的，也不是汽油动力的，而是靠人力推动的，所以它是旧的。故选B。
3．句意：它被称为“推力”，因为你必须推它才能移动。
though虽然；if如果；while当……时；because因为。由“It was called ‘pushing power’”和“you had to push it to make it move”可知，此处表示因果关系，即因为它必须推才能移动，所以被称为“推力”。故选D。

months月；minutes分钟；weeks周；hours小时。由“Within about a month”可知，此处表示在几个星期后作者就有了固定的顾客，所以选weeks。故选C。

picked up捡起；searched for寻找；gave up放弃；turned off关闭。由下文“I explained that it was such hard work using a human-powered mower”可知，作者向女士解释了使用人力割草机很辛苦，由此可知此处女士是问作者是否放弃了那台旧的手动割草机。故选C。
7．句意：你知道，我给你这份工作的原因之一就是因为那台旧割草机。
facts事实；opinions观点；suggestions建议；reasons原因。由“I gave you the job was because of that old lawn mower”可知，此处表示女士给作者这份工作的原因之一就是因为那台旧割草机，所以选reasons。故选D。

harm伤害；pollute污染；clean打扫；change改变。由“it doesn’t make a big noise”和“I’ll let you cut my grass if you use that old mower”可知，此处表示旧割草机不会污染空气，也不会发出噪音，所以女士才让作者用旧割草机给她割草。故选B。
9．句意：我很惊讶。
happy高兴的；interested感兴趣的；worried担心的；surprised惊讶的。由“I’ll have to come back later with the old one”可知，作者没想到女士会因为旧割草机没有噪音和污染而让他继续使用，所以他感到惊讶。故选D。

house房子；yard院子；store商店；lawn草坪。由上文“I thought, ‘Now I can do the work faster and make more money!’”和“She looked disappointed”可知，作者原本以为买了汽油割草机可以更快地工作赚更多的钱，但没想到顾客们更喜欢旧的手动割草机，所以他把汽油割草机带回了商店。故选C。

Crying babies. Buzzing mosquitoes. Ringing car alarms. They are all annoying noises. But what’s the worst A recent survey lists the things we hate to hear.
The list of horrible noises had over 100 items. Several mobile phone ringtones appear near the top. Other noises include barking dogs, pneumatic drills (风钻). electric leaf blowers, loud snoring and banging noises early on a Sunday morning.
However, number-one on the list was the sound of a dentist’s drill, “That just sends shivers down my spine,” said one person. “After a visit to the dentist, I sometimes wake up at night with that sound in my head. It’s horrible.” said another.” I’ve seen patients shaking with fear when I bring out the drill,” explained a dentist. Of course, anyone who’s actually been to the dentist and heard the sound will probably agree with that.
But there’s some good news. A new device (设备) developed by experts at universities can cancel out the sound of the drill. The tiny gadget (小装置) allows patients to listen to music on an MP3 player while the sound of the drill is canceled out. However, patients are still able to hear the dentist’s voice because not all sounds are filtered (过滤) out.
The theory behind it is fairly simple. Microphones are placed close to the dental drill. These pick up any sounds and change them into digital signals. Then, electronic filters cancel out any unwanted sound waves. However, the great thing is that this technology also allows others noises ( such as the dentist’s voice) to come through.
It’s easy to use, too. Patients simply plug the device into their MP3 players. Then, via headphones, they can listen to music and hear the dentist’s voice without being disturbed by the noise of the drill. Fantastic!
So, next time you go to the dentist, remember to bring your MP3 player.

“I wish you a good day, Uncle,” said Dete, as she walked towards him, “and I have brought you Tobias and Adelaide’s child. You may not recognize (认出) her, as you have never seen her since she was one year old.” Hearing that the old man asked curtly. “But what has the child to do with me up here ” Dete made answer, “The child is here to stay with you. I have done my duty for these four years, and I have to go because the family I had waited on asked me to go to Frankfurt. You are the next of kin (亲属) to the child.”
As she uttered (说出) her last words, Uncle looked at her and said to her in a commanding voice, “Get back, and do not let me see your face again.” Dete did not—wait to be told twice. “Good-bye to you then, and to you too, Heidi,” she called.
As soon as Dete had disappeared, the old man went back to his bench. Heidi, meanwhile, was enjoying herself in her new surroundings.
“Come!” and the grandfather went before her towards the hut.
“Bring your clothes in with you,” he asked her as she was following. “I shan’t want them any more” was her prompt answer. The old man turned and looked searchingly at the child, whose dark eyes were sparkling in delighted hope of what she was going to see inside. “She is certainly not wanting wisdom,” he murmured to himself. “And why shall you not want them any more ” he asked aloud. “Because I want to go about like the goats with their thin light legs.” Heidi asked, “Where am I to sleep, grandfather ”
“Wherever you like,” he answered.
Heidi was delighted. In the corner near her grandfather’s bed she saw a short ladder against the wall; up she climbed and found herself in the ha y loft. “I shall sleep up here, grandfather,” she called down to him, “It’s lovely, up e up and see how lovely it is!”
“Oh, I know all about it,” he called up in answer.
In the middle of the night the old man got up. “The child will be frightened,” he tnumured. He mounted the ladder and went and stood by the child’s bed. Outside the moonlight was falling through the round window straight on to Heidi’s bed. She lay under the heavy cover lid, her cheeks rosy with sleep, her head peacefully resting on her little round arm, and with a happy expression on her baby face as if dreaming of something pleasant. The old man stood looking down on the sleeping child until the moon disappeared behind the clouds and he could see no more, then he went back to bed.

22．细节理解题。根据第一段“I have done my duty for these four years, and I have to go because the family I had waited on asked me to go to Frankfurt.”我已经尽了四年的职责，我必须离开，因为我服务的那家人要我去法兰克福可知，Dete必须离开，因此她将Heidi带到了老人那里。故选D。

A．Invent a story.
B．Putting numbers in groups may help you remember them.
C．Remember a list.
D．Exercise also makes you less stressed.

After the work was done, the client was surprised to see her house become tidier and brighter. “It was then that I realized our work wasn’t only about organizing things but bring brighter moods to clients and let them wake up every morning with a better view,” Li added.
