第二部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
In China,people call a man of great virtue a gentleman.In the world of flowers,plum blossoms,orchids,bamboo and chrysanthemums are known as the Four Gentlemen in China because these plants’ natural features have something in common with human virtues.
Plum Blossoms
Plum blossoms are flowers that can bear cold and bloom in early spring.Together with pines and bamboos,they are considered as “the three friends in cold weather”.“Without going through the extremely cold weather,how can the plum blossom smell fragrant ” By praising the perseverance of plum blossoms,the inspiring poem aims to inspire people to overcome difficulties and make achievements with firm determination.
Orchids
Orchids are one of the well-known flowers in China.With light nice smell refreshing people’s minds,and the graceful postures swaying (摇摆) slightly in the wind,orchids are equal to elegance in Chinese people’s eyes.It is said that Su Shi,a famous poet in the Song Dynasty,once painted orchids with some thorns among them,implying that a gentleman can tolerate a mean person.
Bamboo
In traditional Chinese culture,bamboo is a symbol of energy,elegance,plainness,longevity and perseverance.Their firm and strong willpower was admired by many ancient poets.Su Shi once wrote down “Rather eat without meat than live without bamboo” in his poem to express his deep love for bamboo.
Chrysanthemums
The chrysanthemum is a traditional flower loved by Chinese people.When nearly all the flowers are withered in late autumn,the chrysanthemums resist the heavy frost and bloom energetically in graceful shapes and bright colours.Chrysanthemums have been given more meanings under the pen of poets.For example,Tao Yuanming once wrote a well-known poem about chrysanthemums,showing the leisure of Tao’s life away from the outside world.
(　　)21.Which can be used to describe a person who is tolerant
A.Orchids. B.Plum blossoms.
C.Chrysanthemums. D.Bamboo.
(　　)22.What do plum blossoms and chrysanthemums have in common
A.They bloom in spring.
B.They can resist cold.
C.They imply energy.
D.They stand for elegance.
(　　)23.Which column in a newspaper might the passage come from
A.Health. B.Science.
C.Nature. D.Culture.
B
It was a beautiful spring day.Earth was finally awakening from her winter sleep.New life was everywhere.The sky was clear and blue.The air smelled sweet.Sun was kissing the world with its warmth.
I was driving to pick up my son.On my drive I saw the flowers blooming in people’s yards.The fields were full of yellow dandelions (蒲公英) with some already turning into little white balls of seeds.The trees were starting to awaken too,on which the flowers were white,purple,and pink.The songs of the birds were in the air as well.I was feeling the love from the creation all around me.I longed to be a part of it and share my love as well.
I pulled into the driveway and parked my car.As I got out,I saw a lost little caterpillar (毛虫) crawling the wrong way towards the sidewalk.It was just about to go under my tire when I reached out and picked it up.I held it gently in my hand and walked over to the grassy hillside on the other side of the parking lot.I put it down and said,“You will never become a butterfly if you get run over,my friend.Please stay in the grass.” Then I walked off with a smile on my face and a sense of happiness filling my heart.
A friend once wrote me a letter and asked what he could do to make a difference in this world.I wrote him back and said,“Everything!” Everything we do makes a difference in this world.Everything we do can help all the creation in the world.Every act of kindness,every shared smile,every moment of love makes a difference.Even saving a single butterfly is priceless.

C.It was taken away by the author.
D.It would soon become a butterfly.
(　　)26.Which word can best describe the author

The last decade saw the rise of the field of “plant neurobiology (植物神经生物学)”.That debatable field is based on the idea that plants—which do not possess brains—handle information in ways similar to complicated animal nervous systems.This thinking implies that plants could feel happiness or sorrow or pain,make intentional decisions and even possess consciousness.But the chances of that are “effectively zero”.“There’s nothing in the plant comparable to the complexity of the animal brain,” says Taiz,from the University of California,Santa Cruz.
Some plants are capable of complicated behaviours.For example,wounded leaves can send warning signals to other parts of the plant.But plants perform these with equipment that’s very different from the nervous systems of animals,no brain required,Taiz argues.He and his colleagues point out methodological faults in some of the studies that claim plants have brain-like command centres and animal-like nerve cells.But beyond the debate over how these studies are conducted,Taiz’s team argues that plant consciousness doesn’t even make sense from an evolutionary point of view.
“Complicated animal brains advanced in part to help a living being catch a meal and avoid becoming one,” Taiz says.“But plants are rooted to the ground and rely on sunlight for energy,an inactive lifestyle that doesn’t require quick thinking or outsmarting a predator (捕食者)—or the energetically expensive nervous systems that enable those behaviours.” “What use would consciousness be to a plant ” Taiz asks.“If a plant worried and suffered when faced with a threat,it would be wasting so much energy that it wouldn’t have any left to do anything about that threat,” Taiz says.“Furthermore,plants have plenty to do without having to be conscious,too.With sunlight,carbon dioxide and water,plants create the compounds that sustain much of the rest of life on Earth,” Taiz points out.“Isn’t that enough ”
(　　)28.What does the rise of “plant neurobiology” indicate
A.It is widely recognised that plants have brains and nervous systems.
B.Scientists proved that plants can handle information like animals.
C.Certain scientists believe that plants may possess consciousness.
D.The science community believes in the promising future of studying it.
(　　)29.What is probably Taiz’s opinion concerning plants
A.Plants possess animal-like nervous systems.
B.Plants perform complicated behaviours with brains.
C.It is not understandable that plants have consciousness.
D.It is necessary for plants to develop brains for survival.
(　　)30.What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.A predator. B.A meal.
C.An inactive plant. D.A living being.
(　　)31.In which section of a magazine may this passage appear
A.Entertainment. B.Life.
C.Education. D.Science.
D
Chances are that you’ve heard the phrase “like a moth (飞蛾) to a fire”—and probably seen it in action at a night-time campfire or barbecue,too.
It turns out,however,this old saying may not be quite right.Rather than being attracted to light,moths’ tendency to fly towards brightness is a behavioural response to help them determine which way is up,suggests a study published in a famous journal.
Unlike humans,most insects don’t have vestibular (前庭的) systems to help them maintain direction in space.“But they do have a system that allows them to quickly tell what’s bright and what’s dark,and gives them feedback about the sky so that they can fly stably,”a researcher says.“If they mess that up,they start crashing or they go too high and then they lose their speed.”
What if the light is spread over a wide area rather than coming from a singular point The researcher stretched a large white sheet across theatre top and shot a UV light on it.“If the insects were truly attracted by the light,they should fly up towards it,” says the researcher.Instead,the insects flew straight through this illuminated passage,just like what they would do during the day.
The team then placed the sheet on the ground and shone the light on it.Suddenly,something truly strange happened:“All these moths flying over it turned upside down and crashed out of the sky,” the researcher says.
This behaviour suggests that artificial light can cause a mismatch between the insects’ sense of which way is up and the true direction.This behavioural natural ability could spell trouble for insects’ populations.Satellite data has revealed that the use of artificial light has skyrocketed over the past decades,with the world getting brighter each year.Depending on how lights are used,their shine could catch insects in a tiring orbit,or send them falling to their death.
(　　)32.What is the function of the old saying mentioned at the beginning
A.To lead in a new theory.
B.To demonstrate a common sense.
C.To clarify a complex concept.
D.To present a reasonable argument.
(　　)33.How do the insects confirm their direction when flying according to the research
A.By sensing the UV light.
B.By distinguishing brightness and darkness.
C.By approaching the position of light.
D.By flying at a stable speed.
(　　)34.Which of the following can replace the word “spell” in the last paragraph
A.Spark. B.Tackle.
C.Cause. D.Prevent.
(　　)35.What might be the best title for the passage
A.Moth and Illumination:The Distraction of Flight
B.Moth and Confusion:Blind Pursuit of Brightness
C.Moth and Fire:The Implication of the Old Saying
D.Moth and Brightness:The Truth of Locating Direction

Tiny Bees,Big Impact
In Berlin’s busy Kreuzberg area,beehives (蜂巢) sit high up on top of apartment buildings and office roofs.36.　　　 They don’t just want honey.They hope to protect bees,which are vital pollinators (传粉者) that help many plants grow and produce fruits.
Urban beekeeping is not as easy as it looks.37.　　　 In cities,many small green spaces are filled with non-native plants that don’t help bees much at all.These plants often have little sweet liquid that bees need to make honey.So beekeepers work closely with local cafes and parks.They ask owners to grow roses,lavender and other bee-friendly plants.
The weather also brings problems.Berlin’s long,cold winters with cold winds can cause damage to bees easily.Beekeepers pack hives in special cloth to keep them warm.38.　　　 They have to add water trays (托盘) with small stones for the bees to cool down.
Even with these challenges,urban beekeepers find joy in their work.One beekeeper says,“Checking the hives every weekend helps me slow down.39.　　　”Also,many share their fresh honey with nearby neighbours.This small,kind act builds a strong and warm community feeling.
40.　　　 More tall buildings being built every year mean fewer green spaces.Air pollution from cars and factories can harm bees’ health too and make it hard for them to live and find food.But beekeepers are not giving up.They teach others how to start their own hives.For them,every hive is a small fight to keep nature alive in the city.
A.Bees need the right flowers nearby.
B.Yet the future is not without worries.
C.Beekeepers have to grow more plants.
D.In summer,heat waves make hives too hot.
E.The right temperature is key for bee survival.
F.It’s a way to connect with nature in a noisy city.
G.Local residents have turned to beekeeping recently.

M:I’d never been there in March before and I’d completely forgotten the festival they have there every year.

W:How terrible!What did you do
M:I rang a colleague who lives in a village nearby and fortunately,he put us up for a few days.
(Text 7)
M:You haven’t spent much time with Sophia lately.You two used to do everything together.
W:We did,but since she started her new job,all she does is hang out with her new friends from work.
M:Maybe you should invite her over for dinner.Just the two of you.
W:I tried that a few weeks ago but she brought a friend from work with her!She doesn’t seem very interested in our friendship anymore.
M:She’s probably just excited about her new job.You should give her some time.It would be a shame to lose such a friend.

M:Tell us a bit more about your job.Why did you feel it was so difficult to do it and to bring up children at the same time
W:Well,I was a director of a large travel company.I needed to travel myself a lot,and I just realised I didn’t want to be away from my children that much.
M:It must have been a very difficult decision,though.I mean it was a very good job...well-paid,lots of travelling...
W:Yes,but the most difficult thing was that I’d just worked so hard to get that position.I mean,you can’t imagine...
M:No,I’m sure.OK,thank you for your time,Sandra.

第二部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
In China,people call a man of great virtue a gentleman.In the world of flowers,plum blossoms,orchids,bamboo and chrysanthemums are known as the Four Gentlemen in China because these plants’ natural features have something in common with human virtues.
Plum Blossoms
Plum blossoms are flowers that can bear cold and bloom in early spring.Together with pines and bamboos,they are considered as “the three friends in cold weather”.“Without going through the extremely cold weather,how can the plum blossom smell fragrant ” By praising the perseverance of plum blossoms,the inspiring poem aims to inspire people to overcome difficulties and make achievements with firm determination.
Orchids
Orchids are one of the well-known flowers in China.With light nice smell refreshing people’s minds,and the graceful postures swaying (摇摆) slightly in the wind,orchids are equal to elegance in Chinese people’s eyes.It is said that Su Shi,a famous poet in the Song Dynasty,once painted orchids with some thorns among them,implying that a gentleman can tolerate a mean person.
Bamboo
In traditional Chinese culture,bamboo is a symbol of energy,elegance,plainness,longevity and perseverance.Their firm and strong willpower was admired by many ancient poets.Su Shi once wrote down “Rather eat without meat than live without bamboo” in his poem to express his deep love for bamboo.
Chrysanthemums
The chrysanthemum is a traditional flower loved by Chinese people.When nearly all the flowers are withered in late autumn,the chrysanthemums resist the heavy frost and bloom energetically in graceful shapes and bright colours.Chrysanthemums have been given more meanings under the pen of poets.For example,Tao Yuanming once wrote a well-known poem about chrysanthemums,showing the leisure of Tao’s life away from the outside world.

B
It was a beautiful spring day.Earth was finally awakening from her winter sleep.New life was everywhere.The sky was clear and blue.The air smelled sweet.Sun was kissing the world with its warmth.
I was driving to pick up my son.On my drive I saw the flowers blooming in people’s yards.The fields were full of yellow dandelions (蒲公英) with some already turning into little white balls of seeds.The trees were starting to awaken too,on which the flowers were white,purple,and pink.The songs of the birds were in the air as well.I was feeling the love from the creation all around me.I longed to be a part of it and share my love as well.
I pulled into the driveway and parked my car.As I got out,I saw a lost little caterpillar (毛虫) crawling the wrong way towards the sidewalk.It was just about to go under my tire when I reached out and picked it up.I held it gently in my hand and walked over to the grassy hillside on the other side of the parking lot.I put it down and said,“You will never become a butterfly if you get run over,my friend.Please stay in the grass.” Then I walked off with a smile on my face and a sense of happiness filling my heart.
A friend once wrote me a letter and asked what he could do to make a difference in this world.I wrote him back and said,“Everything!” Everything we do makes a difference in this world.Everything we do can help all the creation in the world.Every act of kindness,every shared smile,every moment of love makes a difference.Even saving a single butterfly is priceless.

语篇导读:本文是记叙文。文章描述了作者在去接儿子的途中,在停车时救助了一只险些被车碾过的毛毛虫的事情。
答案及剖析:
24.D　细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知,作者感受到了周围万物的爱,渴望融入其中并与他人分享自己的爱。由此可知,作者欣赏新生事物并渴望与他人分享自己的爱。故选D。
25.A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的 “As I got out...and picked it up.” 可知,毛毛虫爬错了方向,差点被作者的车压到。故选A。
26.A　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,作者看到差点被车压到的毛毛虫,不仅把它捡起来,还将其放到安全的山坡上,甚至对它说话,这些行为体现了作者对小生命的关心。A项caring意为“乐于助人的;体贴人的”,符合对作者的描述。故选A。

C
The last decade saw the rise of the field of “plant neurobiology (植物神经生物学)”.That debatable field is based on the idea that plants—which do not possess brains—handle information in ways similar to complicated animal nervous systems.This thinking implies that plants could feel happiness or sorrow or pain,make intentional decisions and even possess consciousness.But the chances of that are “effectively zero”.“There’s nothing in the plant comparable to the complexity of the animal brain,” says Taiz,from the University of California,Santa Cruz.
Some plants are capable of complicated behaviours.For example,wounded leaves can send warning signals to other parts of the plant.But plants perform these with equipment that’s very different from the nervous systems of animals,no brain required,Taiz argues.He and his colleagues point out methodological faults in some of the studies that claim plants have brain-like command centres and animal-like nerve cells.But beyond the debate over how these studies are conducted,Taiz’s team argues that plant consciousness doesn’t even make sense from an evolutionary point of view.
“Complicated animal brains advanced in part to help a living being catch a meal and avoid becoming one,” Taiz says.“But plants are rooted to the ground and rely on sunlight for energy,an inactive lifestyle that doesn’t require quick thinking or outsmarting a predator (捕食者)—or the energetically expensive nervous systems that enable those behaviours.” “What use would consciousness be to a plant ” Taiz asks.“If a plant worried and suffered when faced with a threat,it would be wasting so much energy that it wouldn’t have any left to do anything about that threat,” Taiz says.“Furthermore,plants have plenty to do without having to be conscious,too.With sunlight,carbon dioxide and water,plants create the compounds that sustain much of the rest of life on Earth,” Taiz points out.“Isn’t that enough ”
(　　)28.What does the rise of “plant neurobiology” indicate
A.It is widely recognised that plants have brains and nervous systems.
B.Scientists proved that plants can handle information like animals.
C.Certain scientists believe that plants may possess consciousness.
D.The science community believes in the promising future of studying it.
(　　)29.What is probably Taiz’s opinion concerning plants
A.Plants possess animal-like nervous systems.
B.Plants perform complicated behaviours with brains.
C.It is not understandable that plants have consciousness.
D.It is necessary for plants to develop brains for survival.
(　　)30.What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.A predator. B.A meal.
C.An inactive plant. D.A living being.
(　　)31.In which section of a magazine may this passage appear
A.Entertainment. B.Life.
C.Education. D.Science.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了在过去的十年,植物神经生物学得到发展。该研究领域的研究者认为植物有意识,但加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的Taiz不同意这种观点,并陈述了其理论依据。
答案及剖析:
28.C　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The last decade saw...even possess consciousness.”可知,植物神经生物学在过去的十年里得到发展,这说明该学科思想在小范围内得到了某些科学家的认可,他们认为植物可能拥有意识。故选C。
29.C　推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句可知,文章指出植物拥有意识的可能性为零,接着讲述Taiz认为植物中没有任何物质像动物大脑中的一样复杂,由此可推出,他认为植物拥有意识这种观点是不合常理的。故选C。
30.B　代词指代题。根据画线词前的help a living being catch a meal可知,上文说帮生物抓捕猎物,这里的one指代上文的a meal,表示避免自己成为食物。故选B。
31.D　推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段内容可知,文章讲述了新兴起的植物神经生物学认为植物有意识,而加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的Taiz认为这是不可能的,下文具体陈述了他的观点及依据。这个话题属于生物学范畴,因此本文最有可能出自某本杂志的“科学”版块。故选D。
D
Chances are that you’ve heard the phrase “like a moth (飞蛾) to a fire”—and probably seen it in action at a night-time campfire or barbecue,too.
It turns out,however,this old saying may not be quite right.Rather than being attracted to light,moths’ tendency to fly towards brightness is a behavioural response to help them determine which way is up,suggests a study published in a famous journal.
Unlike humans,most insects don’t have vestibular (前庭的) systems to help them maintain direction in space.“But they do have a system that allows them to quickly tell what’s bright and what’s dark,and gives them feedback about the sky so that they can fly stably,”a researcher says.“If they mess that up,they start crashing or they go too high and then they lose their speed.”
What if the light is spread over a wide area rather than coming from a singular point The researcher stretched a large white sheet across theatre top and shot a UV light on it.“If the insects were truly attracted by the light,they should fly up towards it,” says the researcher.Instead,the insects flew straight through this illuminated passage,just like what they would do during the day.
The team then placed the sheet on the ground and shone the light on it.Suddenly,something truly strange happened:“All these moths flying over it turned upside down and crashed out of the sky,” the researcher says.
This behaviour suggests that artificial light can cause a mismatch between the insects’ sense of which way is up and the true direction.This behavioural natural ability could spell trouble for insects’ populations.Satellite data has revealed that the use of artificial light has skyrocketed over the past decades,with the world getting brighter each year.Depending on how lights are used,their shine could catch insects in a tiring orbit,or send them falling to their death.
(　　)32.What is the function of the old saying mentioned at the beginning
A.To lead in a new theory.
B.To demonstrate a common sense.
C.To clarify a complex concept.
D.To present a reasonable argument.
(　　)33.How do the insects confirm their direction when flying according to the research
A.By sensing the UV light.
B.By distinguishing brightness and darkness.
C.By approaching the position of light.
D.By flying at a stable speed.
(　　)34.Which of the following can replace the word “spell” in the last paragraph
A.Spark. B.Tackle.
C.Cause. D.Prevent.
(　　)35.What might be the best title for the passage
A.Moth and Illumination:The Distraction of Flight
B.Moth and Confusion:Blind Pursuit of Brightness
C.Moth and Fire:The Implication of the Old Saying
D.Moth and Brightness:The Truth of Locating Direction
语篇导读:本文是说明文。一项研究介绍了飞蛾对光的行为反应,以及人造光可能对昆虫造成的影响。
答案及剖析:
32.A　推理判断题。文章开头提到 “like a moth (飞蛾) to a fire” 这句古老的谚语,随后指出这句谚语可能并不正确,并引出了一项研究的观点,即飞蛾飞向光亮并非因为被吸引,而是一种(外界刺激引发的)行为反应,飞蛾用以确定方向。因此这句谚语的作用是引出新理论。 故
选A。
33.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘But they do have a system...they lose their speed.’”可知,昆虫体内有一个系统,可以让它们迅速地分辨出什么是亮的,什么是暗的,并给它们关于天空的反馈,这样它们就可以稳定地飞行。所以,昆虫飞行时通过明暗来确认方向。故选B。
34.C　猜测词义题。根据画线词所在句句意可知,这种天生的行为能力可能会给昆虫族群造成麻烦。故猜测画线词的意思为“导致”,C项符合语境。故选C。
35.D　标题归纳题。文章主要围绕飞蛾与光亮展开,通过研究表明飞蛾飞向光亮并非被吸引,而是利用明暗来确定飞行方向,人造光会干扰它们的方向感。D项最适合作文章标题。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面的短文,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。
Tiny Bees,Big Impact
In Berlin’s busy Kreuzberg area,beehives (蜂巢) sit high up on top of apartment buildings and office roofs.36.　　　 They don’t just want honey.They hope to protect bees,which are vital pollinators (传粉者) that help many plants grow and produce fruits.
Urban beekeeping is not as easy as it looks.37.　　　 In cities,many small green spaces are filled with non-native plants that don’t help bees much at all.These plants often have little sweet liquid that bees need to make honey.So beekeepers work closely with local cafes and parks.They ask owners to grow roses,lavender and other bee-friendly plants.
The weather also brings problems.Berlin’s long,cold winters with cold winds can cause damage to bees easily.Beekeepers pack hives in special cloth to keep them warm.38.　　　 They have to add water trays (托盘) with small stones for the bees to cool down.
Even with these challenges,urban beekeepers find joy in their work.One beekeeper says,“Checking the hives every weekend helps me slow down.39.　　　”Also,many share their fresh honey with nearby neighbours.This small,kind act builds a strong and warm community feeling.
40.　　　 More tall buildings being built every year mean fewer green spaces.Air pollution from cars and factories can harm bees’ health too and make it hard for them to live and find food.But beekeepers are not giving up.They teach others how to start their own hives.For them,every hive is a small fight to keep nature alive in the city.
A.Bees need the right flowers nearby.
B.Yet the future is not without worries.
C.Beekeepers have to grow more plants.
D.In summer,heat waves make hives too hot.
E.The right temperature is key for bee survival.
F.It’s a way to connect with nature in a noisy city.
G.Local residents have turned to beekeeping recently.

David did not know how the birds would act when they were released.As he opened the cage,the goslings hesitated,huddling close to his legs instead of rushing to the pond.Their tiny eyes darted nervously at the unfamiliar surroundings.David softly encouraged them,kneeling to gently nudge them forward.Slowly,one brave gosling waddled towards the water,followed cautiously by the others.They dipped their beaks,then splashed in joy,their anxious chirps .David smiled,relieved,as they swam together in a neat line,exploring their new home with growing confidence.
The next day,David returned to check on the goslings.From a distance,he spotted them grazing peacefully on the grassy bank.As he approached,they recognised him instantly,flapping their wings and scurrying towards him with happy chirps.David observed their feathers—now glossy and strong—and watched them dive skillfully for aquatic plants.Nearby,a tern circled overhead,confirming the area’s safety.Though independent,the goslings still greeted him like family.With a heart full of pride,David knew his feathered friends had truly adapted to the wild.
