Have you ever met someone and known right away you’d found a new friend? Was it their smile, their laugh or maybe a clever joke they told? As is the case for some animals like mammals, your immediate connection may have developed right after the first smell.
Inbal Ravreby, a scientist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, got her inspiration for an experiment to test out this. For the experiment, Ravreby and her research team gathered 20 pairs of same-sex friends who reported clicking during their first meet with each other. For three days, participants (参与者) gave up soaps with pleasant smells and anything else that might change their body smells, and each wore a cotton T-shirt to bed to catch their smells.
The smelly shirts were handed over to the electronic nose, which used sensors to measure the chemical difference in the body smells of the members of each pair. The researchers found that twosomes who clicked with each other when they met had more similar smells, compared with randomly (随机的) selected pairs of other people in the study. To compare the electronic nose to what humans actually detect, a team of designated smellers also tested smell similarity. Overall, the pairs of fast friends had more similar smells than the coupled strangers.
”I think it’s a reminder for us humans to appreciate how much we’re similar to some animals,” Ravreby says. “Taking inspiration from some animals can really help us understand what causes social connections and what doesn’t.”
24. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. People know immediately who to befriend.
B. People may pick friends who smell like them.
C. People make friends with those who tell jokes.
D. People are different from animals in many ways.
25. Why did the participants need to give up the soaps in the experiment?
A. To find people with similar body smell.
B. To help them click with others quickly.
C. To ensure the electronic nose works well.
D. To stop the body smell from being changed.
26. What does the experiment tell us according to Ravreby?
A. The electronic nose smells like a human nose.
B. The pairs of fast friends have the same smell.
C. Humans can be inspired by animals in many studies.
D. People and animals surely have similar body smells.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究表明，在相遇时相互感兴趣的两个人有更多相似的气味。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“As is the case for some animals like mammals, your immediate connection may have developed right after the first smell.(就像哺乳动物一样，你的直接联系可能在第一次闻到气味后就开始了。)”和第二段的“Inbal Ravreby, a scientist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, got her inspiration for an experiment to test out this.(以色列Weizmann科学研究所的科学家Inbal Ravreby得到了一个实验的灵感，来验证这一点。)”可知，this指的是第一段所说的人们可能会选择和自己气味相似的人做朋友。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“For three days, participants (参与者) gave up soaps with pleasant smells and anything else that might change their body smells, and each wore a cotton T-shirt to bed to catch their smells.(在三天的时间里，参与者放弃了带有宜人气味的肥皂和任何可能改变他们体味的东西，每个人都穿着一件棉质t恤上床睡觉，以捕捉气味。)”可知，参与者需要在实验中放弃肥皂是为了防止身体的气味被改变。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Taking inspiration from some animals can really help us understand what causes social connections and what doesn’t.(从一些动物身上获得启发，真的可以帮助我们理解什么引起了社会联系，什么没有。)”可知，根据Ravreby的说法，这个实验告诉了我们，在许多研究中，人类可以从动物身上得到启发。故选C。
C
It was an accident. I brought a salad to a holiday party and the hostess gave me back the wrong spoon. It looked out of fashion, with a tiny snowflake engraved(刻)on the handle, unclean, nearly dull from use.
My home was lacking in teaspoons since my four-year-old son had a habit of clearing tableware(餐具)into the litter after meals and I lacked money for new spoons. So I held onto the spoon.
My two kids like arguing over everything and anything. I wasn’t happy about telling them to use the snowflake spoon. The moment it hit the placemat(餐具垫), it got a sideways look from my daughter Veronica, then six. “This isn’t ours,” she said.
I held it up like an exhibit. “Listen,” I said. “This is a special spoon. See the magic snowflake? Isn’t it cute?” I placed it in front of her. “I want you to use it.”
Next thing you know, four-year-old Louis asked why he didn’t get the special spoon. After that, the kids had to take turns eating with the special spoon. Years into negotiations over who got to use the special spoon, I finally admitted to the kids: enough already. It’s not actually special. I only said that so you wouldn’t refuse it in favor of our other teaspoons. But I was too late. By then, the snowflake spoon had gained its place in the drawer.
When my family condition improved, I brought home some new spoons. “What are you going to do with the old one?” asked Veronica. “It is special, and you’re not throwing it away,” she said. I felt deeply moved. At that moment, I realized I’ve created words that will bring unforgettable memories for my kids. I created “The Special Spoon”.
(以下是A种题型)
27. What can we learn about the special spoon?
A. It was new when the author got it.
B. It was given to the author by mistake.
C. It was intended as a gift for the author.
D. It was loved by the daughter at first sight.
28. What happened when the author said the spoon was special?
A. The spoon was refused by Veronica.
B. The spoon was thrown into the drawer.
C. The kids believed and competed for it.
D. The kids thought it was nothing special.
29. What can be inferred about the spoon from the last paragraph?
A. It was valued by the two kids.
B. It was replaced by the new ones.
C. It made the author richer and richer.
D. It inspired the author to create more spoons.
30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Story 1 Told About the Special Spoon
B. Why I Lied to My Kids About the Spoon
C. The Most Beautiful Spoon I Have Ever Got
D. How I Created a Little Magic for My Family
(以下是B种题型)
31. Why did the author lack spoons?
32. What was Veronica’s attitude towards the spoon at the beginning?
33. What does the underlined word “negotiations” in paragraph 5 mean in English?
34. What did the Special Spoon bring to the author’s family?
【答案】27. B 28. C 29. A 30. D
31. Because the son developed a habit of throwing away the spoons and the author lacked money for new spoons.

32. Negative.

33. Arguments/Talks.
34. Unforgettable memories.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了一把特殊的勺子的故事。作者为了让孩子使用一把旧勺子，而把它说成一把特殊的勺子，孩子们喜欢上这把勺子，有了新勺子也舍不得扔掉，因为勺子承载了他们难忘的回忆。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It was an accident. I brought a salad to a holiday party and the hostess gave me back the wrong spoon. It looked out of fashion, with a tiny snowflake engraved(刻)on the handle, unclean, nearly dull from use.(这是个意外。我带了一份沙拉去参加一个节日聚会，女主人把错的勺子还给了我。它看起来已经过时了，手柄上刻着一片小小的雪花，不干净，由于使用已久几乎变得模糊)”可知，女主人错把别的勺子还给了作者。故选B。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Next thing you know, four-year-old Louis asked why he didn’t get the special spoon. After that, the kids had to take turns eating with the special spoon. Years into negotiations over who got to use the special spoon, I finally admitted to the kids: enough already. It’s not actually special. (接下来，四岁的Louis问他为什么没有得到这个特殊的勺子。之后，孩子们不得不轮流用这个特殊勺子吃饭。在关于谁可以使用特殊勺子的谈判多年后，最终我向孩子们承认：已经够了。这实际上并不特别) ”可知，孩子们相信了我说的这是一把特殊的勺子，而且为谁使用它而竞争。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“When my family condition improved, I brought home some new spoons. ‘What are you going to do with the old one?’ asked Veronica. ‘It is special, and you’re not throwing it away,’ she said. I felt deeply moved. At that moment, I realized I’ve created words that will bring unforgettable memories for my kids. I created ‘The Special Spoon’. (当我的家庭条件有所改善时，我带了一些新的勺子回家。‘你打算怎么处理那只旧的?’Veronica问。‘它很特别，你不能把它扔掉，’她说。我深受感动。那一刻，我意识到我创造的词语会给我的孩子们带来难忘的回忆。我创造了‘特殊的勺子’)”可知，孩子们舍不得扔掉这把勺子，非常重视这把“特殊勺子”。故选A。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“I held it up like an exhibit. ‘Listen,’ I said. ‘This is a special spoon. See the magic snowflake? Isn’t it cute?’ I placed it in front of her. ‘I want you to use it.’(我把它像展览品一样举了起来。‘听着，’我说，‘这是一个特殊的勺子。看到充满魔力的雪花了吗?是不是很可爱?’我把它放在她面前。‘我想让你用它。’)”可知作者为了让孩子用这把旧勺子，把它描述成带有一朵魔力雪花的特殊勺子。结合下文孩子们对这把勺子的喜爱以及最后一段最后一句“At that moment, I realized I’ve created words that will bring unforgettable memories for my kids. I created ‘The Special Spoon’.(那一刻，我意识到我创造的词语会给我的孩子们带来难忘的回忆。我创造了‘特殊的勺子’。)”可知作者用“special spoon”让这把普通的勺子充满了“魔力”，孩子喜欢并重视这把普通的勺子，有了新勺子也舍不得扔，所以D选项“How I Created a Little Magic for My Family(我是如何为我的家人创造一个小魔法的)”可以概括全文，适合做文章标题。故选D。
【31题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句“My home was lacking in teaspoons since my four-year-old son had a habit of clearing tableware(餐具)into the litter after meals and I lacked money for new spoons. (自从我四岁的儿子有饭后把餐具清理到垃圾里的习惯以来，我的家一直缺乏茶匙，而我也没有钱买新的)”可知，作者缺勺子是因为孩子有饭后把勺子扔掉的习惯，此外作者也没钱买新勺子。故答案是Because the son developed a habit of throwing away the spoons and the author lacked money for new spoons.
【32题详解】
考查推理判断。根据“The moment it hit the placemat(餐具垫), it got a sideways look from my daughter Veronica, then six. ‘This isn’t ours,’ she said.(当它碰到餐垫的那一刻，我的女儿Veronica斜视了它一眼，当时她才六岁。‘这不是我们的，’她说。、)”可知，Veronica一开始对这把勺子不感兴趣 对这把勺子是否定的。故答案是Negative。
【33题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据倒数第二段“Next thing you know, four-year-old Louis asked why he didn’t get the special spoon. After that, the kids had to take turns eating with the special spoon. Years into negotiations over who got to use the special spoon, I finally admitted to the kids: enough already.(接下来，四岁的路易斯问他为什么没有得到这个特殊的勺子。之后，孩子们不得不轮流用这个特殊勺子吃饭。在关于谁可以使用特殊勺子的谈判多年后，最终我向孩子们承认：已经够了。这实际上并不特别)”可知，两孩子为了谁使用这把勺子而争论，所以negotiations在句中意思与arguments或者talks。故答案是Arguments/Talks.
【34题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章最后两句“At that moment, I realized I’ve created words that will bring unforgettable memories for my kids. I created ‘The Special Spoon’.(那一刻，我意识到我创造的词语会给我的孩子们带来难忘的回忆。我创造了‘特殊的勺子’)”可知，这把勺子给作者的家人带来了难忘的回忆。故答案是Unforgettable memories.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是上周，由中国宋庆龄青少年科学文化中心和中国电子科学研究院联合举办的一场青少年机器人大赛在北京举行。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意：上周，由中国宋庆龄青少年科学文化中心和中国电子科学研究院联合举办的一场青少年机器人大赛在北京举行。由last week可知，句子时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填took。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：为期两周的活动还将包括一个交互式机器人展览，展示机器人技术的未来发展。空格处引导的是定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词exhibition是物，因此空格处用关系代词which/that。故填which/that。
【42题详解】
考查动名词。句意：这些活动将有助于使年轻人对科学和技术感兴趣。to是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，故填making。
【43题详解】
考查不定式。句意：该活动旨在为更多的年轻人搭建一个平台，让他们更接近科学，取得突破，锻炼他们的思维。根据语境可知，空格处用不定式表目的，故填to get。
【44题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：该活动旨在为更多的年轻人搭建一个平台，让他们更接近科学，取得突破，锻炼他们的思维。根据语境可知，此处表示“锻炼他们的思维”，空格处意为“他们的”，用形容词性物主代词their作定语，修饰名词minds，故填their。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：比赛旨在开发参赛者的想象力和创造力。participants’后跟名词，此处表示“比赛旨在开发参赛者的想象力和创造力”，空格处意为“创造力”，是creativity，是不可数名词，故填creativity。
【46题详解】
考查冠词。句意：希望越来越多的年轻人关注人工智能的发展，对科技发明保持热情。an increasing number of意为“越来越多的”，故填an。
【47题详解】
考查介词。句意：希望越来越多的年轻人关注人工智能的发展，对科技发明保持热情。pay attention to是固定短语，意为“关注”，因此空格处是介词to，故填to。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意：希望越来越多的年轻人关注人工智能的发展，对科技发明保持热情。空格处用形容词scientific作定语，修饰名词inventions，scientific意为“科学的”，故填scientific。
【49题详解】
考查固定短语，时态和主谓一致。句意：参与者的想象力有望在活动中得到提升，为机器人的发展带来新的活力。be expected to do是固定短语，意为“被期望做”，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语imagination是不可数名词，因此空格处是is expected。故填is expected。
第五部分写作(共两节，满分25分)
第一节汉译英(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
根据括号内所给提示，完成下列句子。
50. 随着音乐跳舞，她感到很高兴。(dance to the music)(汉译英)
【答案】Dancing to the music, she felt very happy.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语，非谓语动词和时态。“随着音乐跳舞”是dance to the music，“她感到很高兴”描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，翻译为she felt very happy，felt是谓语，dance应用非谓语动词，she和dance之间是主谓关系，因此用现在分词dancing表主动，因此整句话翻译为“Dancing to the music, she felt very happy”。故答案为Dancing to the music, she felt very happy.
51. 这些窗户朝南的办公室是在暑假期间设计好的。(whose)(汉译英)
【答案】These offices whose windows face south were designed during the summer vacation.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和时态。句子分析可知，句子的主语为“这些办公室”，可表达为名词短语these offices；“在暑假期间”用短语during the summer vacation表达；“设计”用动词design表达，在句中作谓语动词，根据句意及时间状语可知design应该用一般过去时，these offices与design之间是被动关系，所以“这些办公室是在暑假期间设计好的”可翻译为these offices were designed during the summer vacation；“窗户朝南的”在句中作定语，修饰“这些房子”，可用限制性定语从句表达，“这些房子”为先行词，在定语从句中作定语，所以此定语从句用关系词whose引导，“朝南”用动词短语face south表达，根据句意可知“窗户朝南”是房子现在的状态，所以动词face用一般现在时，所以从句可表达为whose windows face south；故此句翻译为These offices whose windows face south were designed during the summer vacation.
52. 多亏了哥哥的帮助，我获得了比赛第一名。(win the first place)(汉译英)
【答案】Thanks to my brother’s help, I won the first place in the contest.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。“多亏了”是thanks to，“哥哥的帮助”是my brother’s help，“获得了比赛第一名”是win the first place，时态用一般过去时，因此整句话翻译为“Thanks to my brother’s help, I won the first place in the contest”。故答案为Thanks to my brother’s help, I won the first place in the contest.
53. 考试的时候，你感到紧张是很常见的。(butterflies in one’s stomach)(汉译英)
【答案】It is normal for you to feel butterflies in your stomach during a test.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型，介词搭配。固定句型“It is + adj. for sb to do sth”译为“对于某人来说做某事是怎么样”，所以“你感到紧张是很常见的”可译为“It is normal for you to feel butterflies in your stomach”；考试的时候就是在考试中，所以可以使用介词during（在…期间）表示，可译为“during a test”，故整句翻译为It is normal for you to feel butterflies in your stomach during a test.
54. 那就是我们需要尽可能多地去看、去读、去思考的原因。(That’s why…)(汉译英)
【答案】That’s why we need to see, read, and think as much as possible.
【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。根据汉语提示，表示“那就是……的原因”用that’s why...；表示“我们需要去看、去读、去思考”用we need to see, read, and think；表示“尽可能”用as much as possible。故翻译为That’s why we need to see, read, and think as much as possible。
