(建议用时：30分钟)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

Horsemen will always tell you that horses sense emotions(情感)，especially fear. Now a new small study says not only can horses sense human emotions, they can also read human expressions and remember them for later.

Researchers at the universities in the UK held experiments in which horses were shown large photos of either an angry or a happy person. Several hours later, the horses met that man in person but with no expression.

However, the horses reacted based on how they saw the man in the photo, turning their look in a certain direction. When horses saw the person they had seen wearing an angry look in the photo, they spent more time looking with the left eye. They also showed signs of anxiety(焦虑). But when the horses saw the person they had seen smiling in the photo, they spent more time looking with the right eye.

“What we’ve found is that horses can not only read human facial expressions, but they can also remember a person’s previous (先前的) emotional state when they meet them later that day, and, importantly, that they change their behavior accordingly，” Professor Karen McComb from the University of Sussex said in a statement.

The horses seemed to have made a quick judgment on the person based only on the expression in the photo. The researchers believe having this ability helps horses with social bonding and avoid possible dangers.

“It is quite an amazing result really，” McComb told The Guardian. “It is really interesting that animals are picking up on the detailed emotional expressions that humans are showing on a momenttomoment basis.Importantly in taking that information in, they don’t forget it,_but they use it—they have a memory for the emotional states that they have seen in humans and they use that information.”

1．What can be learned about the experiment?

A．Horses looked at previously happy people with the right eye.

B．Horses refused to see people with no expression.

C．Horses showed curiosity about unhappy expressions.

D．Horses preferred to see the photos of happy people.

2．How can horses benefit from the ability mentioned in the text?

A．They can run much faster.

B．They can better protect themselves.

C．They can have a smarter brain.

D．They can better express themselves.

3．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．The information.　　　　 B．The ability.

C．The moment.　 D．The result.

4．What is mainly talked about in the passage?

A．Horses have a talent for judging photos.

B．Horses have the same emotions just as human beings.

C．Horses can read human expressions and learn from them.

D．Horses can remember and react to people’s previous look.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了一项新的研究：马不仅能感知人类的情感，它们还能读懂人类的表情，并记住它们以备日后之用。

1．A　细节理解题。根据第三段“But when the horses saw the person they had seen smiling in the photo, they spent more time looking with the right eye.”由此可知，我们能从这个实验中学到马用右眼看以前快乐的人。故选A项。

2．B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The horses seemed to have made a quick judgment on the person based only on the expression in the photo. The researchers believe having this ability helps horses with social bonding and avoid possible dangers.”由此可知，马以这种能力可以更好地保护自己。故选B项。

3．A　词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Importantly in taking that information in…”可知，重要的是，在接受这些信息时，他们不会忘记这些信息。由此可知，it指代的是上文的“信息”。故选A项。

4．D　主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now a new small study says not only can horses sense human emotions, they can also read human expressions and remember them for later.”和最后一段“Importantly in taking that information in, they don’t forget it, but they use it—they have a memory for the emotional states that they have seen in humans and they use that information.”可知，短文主要在说马能记住并对人以前的表情做出反应。故选D项。

The Guardian 卫报(是英国的全国性综合内容日报。与《泰晤士报》《每日电讯报》被合称为英国三大报。由约翰·爱德华·泰勒创办于1821年5月5日。因总部设于曼彻斯特而称为《曼彻斯特卫报》。1959年8月24日改为现名。其总部在1964年迁至首都伦敦)

Importantly in taking that information in, they don’t forget it, but they use it—they have a memory for the emotional states that they have seen in humans and they use that information.

重要的是，在吸取信息方面，他们不会忘记，而是使用信息——对他们已经在人们脸上看到的情绪状态，他们会记住，并会运用这个信息。

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。英语课上老师要求同学们分享自己最宝贵的财富，Deng由于觉得自己一无所有而无法入睡。突然他想到一个主意，去向Mr Petrovski借他的金表。他拿到金表时，发现在表的背后写着“朋友”，他突然觉得自己拥有的最宝贵的财富就是朋友。因此他与同学们分享了这个故事，赢得了大家的掌声。

1．A　考查动词辨析。句意：每个人都有一些特别的东西，一些贵重的东西。此空格处单词与下段首句“Deng had __2__.”中的had呼应。故选A项。

2．B　考查不定代词。句意：Deng什么都没有。这句话与上文中“Everyone __1__ something special, something expensive(每个人都有一些特别的东西，一些贵重的东西)．”形成对比，强调Deng一无所有。并且由下句“His family had lost everything (他的家庭失去了一切)．”可知，Deng一无所有。故选B项。

3．A　考查形容词辨析。句意：Deng害怕告诉任何人这个事实。由下句“He didn’t want anyone to laugh at him(他不想别人嘲笑他)．”可知，他害怕告诉别人这个事实。故选A项。

4．D　考查副词。句意：然而，现在每个人都会知道这件事。根据上下文逻辑关系，Deng一无所有，害怕别人知道这件事，而老师却让他们谈论自己最宝贵的财富，这次无法避免让别人知道Deng的情况。这个结果与他的期望是相反的，所以上下句之间是转折关系。故选D项。

5．C　考查动词辨析。句意：他也许可以装病。但是他知道他的妈妈是不允许他这样做的。由下句“She would make him go to school(她会让他去学校的)．”可知，他妈妈是不允许他装病的。故选C项。

6．A　考查动词辨析。句意：他不想让他们失望。A.disappoint使失望，使破灭；B.disturb打扰；C.follow跟随，跟着；D.satisfy使满意，使满足。由上两句“His parents were proud of him. They thought he was happy at school(他的父母以他为傲。他们认为他在学校很开心)．”可知，他也不想让父母失望。空格处单词与上文中的proud形成反义呼应。故选A项。

7．A　考查副词。句意：毫无疑问，他会将他的金表借给Deng一天。由下句“He was always pleased when Deng cleared his snow or went to the store for him(每次当Deng清扫他的积雪，或去店里找他的时候，他都很开心)．”可推知，毫无疑问，Mr Petrovski会将他的金表借给Deng。故选A项。

8．B　考查动词辨析。句意：他可以假装这个表是他的。此空格处单词与上文“He pretended his family was rich(他假装他的家庭是富裕的)．”中的pretended呼应。故选B项。

9．D　考查动词短语。句意：Deng在表的背面发现一些字。几乎都要磨损掉了。A.given away赠送，捐赠；B.thrown away扔了；C.hidden away深深隐藏；D.worn away(使) 磨损。由下句“He looked closely. There was one word — ’friendship’．(他拿近了仔细看。上面写着’朋友’)．”可知，表上的字被磨损得不清晰了。故选D项。

10．C　考查名词辨析。句意：轮到Deng了。由本段内容是Deng演讲的内容可知，轮到Deng发言了。“it’s one’s turn”为固定搭配，意为“轮到……了”。故选C项。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是河南电视台在社交媒体平台新浪微博上分享了一段视频，视频中的洛河女神栩栩如生。

1．a　考查冠词。句意：这个古老的浪漫故事被赋予了一个新的背景，仍然为现代观众提供了有吸引力的观看。setting意为“背景”，是可数名词，且此处表泛指，因此前面用不定冠词，new是辅音音素开头。故填a。

2．what　考查宾语从句的引导词。句意：这个故事似乎是用慢镜头呈现的。空格处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，指物。故填what。

3．surprisingly 考查副词。句意：不出所料，它变得流行起来，被观看了超过2000万次。空格处用副词修饰整个句子，作状语，not surprisingly意为“不出所料”。故填surprisingly。

4．inspiration　考查名词。句意：洛河女神的故事启发了无数当代艺术家，他们通过电影和舞剧等各种艺术形式描绘了这位无与伦比的美丽女神。the后跟名词作宾语。根据句意可知，空格处意为“灵感，启发”，为inspiration，是不可数名词。故填inspiration。

5．various　考查形容词。句意同上。空格处用形容词作定语，variety的形容词是various，意为“各种各样的”。故填various。

6．which　考查定语从句的引导词。句意：但这段时长约两分钟、名为《洛河女神狂想曲》的视频之所以能给人留下如此深刻的印象，并引发如此大的宣传热潮，是因为它是在水下拍摄的。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，关系词指代先行词video并在从句中作主语。故填which。

7．was shot　考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意同上。it指代前面的“the video”，是“被拍”，且是在过去被拍的，因此空格处用一般过去时的被动语态，即was/were done，主语it是单数。故填was shot。

8．their　考查形容词性物主代词。句意：她不仅掌握了她的艺术，而且掌握了在她的肺努力发挥其功能时屏住呼吸的技巧。根据句意和分析可知，空格处意为“它们的”，后有名词，因此用形容词性物主代词，即their。故填their。

9．with　考查介词。句意：这一切都是用最平和的表情完成的。根据句意可知，空格处意为“用”。故填with。

10．highlighting　考查现在分词。句意：这并不是河南电视台第一次因其突出中国传统文化的吸引人的视频而受到关注。分析可知，在that从句中谓语是“has gained”，空格处需用非谓语动词，videos和highlight是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，作后置定语。故填highlighting。
