How can horses find their way back from a strange environment? For most people, that would be impossible without a map. Horses have a special system in their brains, and it works just 【1】 GPS. It shows signs for trees and other objects in their home areas. It also takes notes of new things in new areas. 【2】 horses keep their attention on those signs, they know which directions 【3】 (go). Who needs a self-driving car when you can have a horse? You’ll always get home safe and sound.

【答案】

【1】like

【2】When

【3】to go

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了馬如何可以從陌生的環(huán)境中找到回去的路。

【1】考查介詞。句意：馬腦中有一個(gè)特殊的系統(tǒng)，它的工作原理像GPS一樣。此處表示“將馬腦中的系統(tǒng)比喻成GPS”。故填like。

【2】考查時(shí)間狀語從句。句意：當(dāng)馬將注意力放在這些標(biāo)志上時(shí)，它們知道該往哪個(gè)方向走。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，逗號(hào)前面應(yīng)為從句。結(jié)合上下文語境和語義可知，該從句為時(shí)間狀語從句，因此使用從屬連詞when。故填when。

【3】考查動(dòng)詞不定式。句意：當(dāng)馬將注意力放在這些標(biāo)志上時(shí)，它們知道該往哪個(gè)方向走。該句子中的“特殊疑問詞which+動(dòng)詞不定式”作動(dòng)詞know的賓語。該結(jié)構(gòu)可以改寫成由該疑問詞引導(dǎo)的從句，即賓語從句：When horses keep their attention on those signs, they know which directions they should go.故填to go。

【題目】Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York--he in computers, she in special education. "Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.

Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation (基金會(huì)) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee.“I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder."

Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.

The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books-reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.

Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of .”

【題目】 Since 1970, North America has lost more than 2.9 billion birds, according to a study recently published in the journal Science. In less than half a century, the bird population has declined by some 29 percent, or more than 1 in 4 birds. For the first time, researchers have discovered that rare species aren't the only birds suffering population loss. In fact, common birds-including beloved backyard friends like sparrows and blackbirds-are taking the biggest hit.

The new study used nearly 50 years of data collected largely by bird watchers and citizen scientists. "A total of 419 native migratory species experienced a net loss of 2.5 billion individuals," the study says. More than 90 percent of the total loss can be found among just 12 bird families. Some of these widespread birds can thrive almost anywhere. The large-scale loss of these hardy birds reveals they're struggling to survive throughout the world/

Birds are considered indicator species because they're crucial to ecosystems, and their populations anticipate the environment's health. Birds are "amazingly efficient" at spreading seeds. Birds also keep insect populations in check. Even the smallest bird helps control the spread of plants or insects.

The new study, however, identifies the losses without knowing all the causes. Scientists do identify habitat loss as the biggest challenge. Climate change, disrupted migration patterns and pesticide use are also major factors. Industrial agriculture may present a bigger challenge. The species disappearing most rapidly—sparrows, blackbirds and larks—are associated with agriculture. In recent decades, agriculture has grown to produce more food, but cleared landscapes have become unlivable for birds.

“We need to change the way we grow food. Birds are signaling that we are doing it wrong, "as the study says. The study offers the example of the 1990s effort to switch to no-till farming, which reduced greenhouse gases and soil erosion（侵蝕）. “Farmers are innovators. And they've done it before. This is a great opportunity to have a huge impact on birds."

【1】What's the study mainly about？

A.The climate issues.B.The disappearing birds.

C.The agricultural problems.D.The environmental protection.

【2】How is the second paragraph mainly developed？

A.By listing figures.B.By giving examples

C.By analyzing reasons.D.By making comparisons.

【3】What's the main reason behind the birds' habitat loss？

A.Climate change.B.Greenhouse gases.

C.Industrial agriculture.D.Disrupted migration patterns.

【4】What does the study suggest as a solution？

A.Producing more food.B.Clearing more landscapes.

C.Reducing the use of pesticide.D.Adopting new means of farming.

【題目】 When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming many things. Sometimes, I wished I was an astronaut going up into space, finding new planets and jumping around in a cool space suit. Other times, I imagined being a cowboy in the Wild West, wearing stylish cowboy boots. On other occasions, I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals for my team.

Looking back, I realize that imagination is a wonderful thing. I was able to create entire environments and scenarios in my head, using nothing more than my brain, and to be able to adapt things in my everyday surroundings to fit the specific story of the day. Growing up with siblings (兄弟姐妹) also helped, as it meant that even bigger stories could be created, combining our ideas and putting our thoughts into action. It also allowed for more varieties in the stories, as sometimes I could be the hero while on other occasions, I would be the bad guy.

One of my all-time favorite memories as a kid was playing in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones, which cleaned up at the cinema at that time, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as a bad person. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacles that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours!

My personal favorite game was Indiana Jones and the Stolen Easter Eggs, where my brother hid small chocolate eggs around the garden and my sister and I had to find them by answering questions or solving a puzzle. It was difficult, but eventually we found all the eggs and shared them together.

Since then, I have seen many great things and met many amazing people. The elements of fun and varieties of my creative imaginations are what I try to bring into every part of my positive life. So I can enjoy sharing with and hearing about other people’s stories, too.

【1】What do we know about the author from his childhood?

A.He enjoyed living a life full of freedom.

B.He was longing to experience adventurous things.

C.He was always imagining a bright life for his future.

D.He had a clear picture of what he would do after growing up.

【2】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “scenarios” in Paragraph 2?

A.experiencesB.situations

C.positionsD.excuses

【3】From the passage, we know that Indiana Jones was .

A.an astronautB.a famous footballer

C.a hot filmD.a very popular book

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.My Creative Imagination.B.My Childhood.

The teenager came across the distant world while examining images of the variations in star brightness captured by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and uploaded to Planet Hunters TESS by amateur citizen astronomers. “I was looking through the data for everything the volunteers had marked,” Cukier said. “About three days into my internship, I saw a signal from a system called TOI 1338.
