Frm cttages surrunded by impressive gardens t days spent explring sandy beaches and deep wds filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell prvided a vivid accunt f his family’s time n the Greek island f Crfu in the 1930s.
Cme fr the arresting descriptins f Crfu landscapes and stay fr Durrell’s laugh-ut-lud tales f his unusual family. This bk, Durrell wrte humrusly in the intrductin, “was intended t be a nstalgic(怀旧的)accunt f natural histry, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake f intrducing my family.”
Durrell, later knwn fr his z keeping and the preservatin f wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Crfu. He is 10-year-ld Gerry in the bk—curius, passinate abut animals and a detailed stryteller f his strange family: his imaginative elder brther Larry with his literary ambitins, lvestruck sister Marg, sprty brther Leslie and his ever-calm, lving mther.
Durrell’s attentin t detail is what makes the bk s winning, with every sight, sund and smell f the island brught t life. One minute yu’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk dwn t the daffdil-yellw cttage, the next yu’ll be catching yur breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Inian Sea: “Lying n my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, nly mving my hands and feet slightly, I was lking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf acrss the sky and wndering hw many stars it cntained.”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult t classify, being ne part travel, ne part autbigraphy, ne part natural histry, and ne part cmedy, with a thread f descriptive language running thrughut that smetimes raises it nearly t petry.
As a real delight t read it’s the perfect literary escapism fr any adult r lder teenager wh is currently walking dwn a tugh rad in life.
4. Which wrd best describes Durrell’s life in Crfu?
A. Diverse.B. Busy.C. Risky.D. Tugh.
5. What des the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?
A. I just intrduced my family by mistake.B. I shuldn’t have intrduced my family.
C. I gave false infrmatin abut my family.D. I culdn’t help intrducing my family.
6. What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly abut?
A. Durrell’s rich imaginatin.B. Sme interesting plts f the bk.
C The bk’s writing feature.D. Sme vivid descriptins f the island.
7. What is the purpse f this text?
A. T share an experience.B. T intrduce a writing style.
C. T recmmend a bk.D. T describe an unusual place.

When put t tests, bees have lng prved that they’ve gt a lt mre t ffer than pllinating (授粉), making hney and being lyal t a queen. The hard-wrking insects can change their behavir when things seem difficult, and nw sme scientists find there is prf that they als like t play.
Scientists frm Queen Mary University f Lndn perfrmed an experiment, in which they set up a cntainer that allwed bees t travel frm their nest t a feeding area. But alng the way, the bees culd chse t pass thrugh a separate sectin with sme small wden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went ut f their way t rll wden balls repeatedly, despite n apparent incentive (刺激) t d s.”
Earlier studies have shwn that the black and yellw bugs are willing t learn new tricks in exchange fr fd r ther rewards. In this case, t get rid f external factrs, scientists made sure the bees had adapted t their new hme and that their envirnment was stress-free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects als interact with bjects as a frm f play. Als similar t peple, yunger bees seem t be mre playful than adult bees. “This research prvides a strng indicatin that insect minds are far mre cmplicated than we imagine. There are lts f animals wh play just fr the purpse f enjyment, but mst examples cme frm yung mammals and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a prfessr f sensry and behaviral eclgy at Queen Mary University f Lndn, wh led the study.
The study’s first authr. Samadi Galpay, wh is a PhD student at Queen Mary University f Lndn, states that it is mre evident that bees may be capable f experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience sme kind f psitive emtinal states, even if basic, like ther larger animals d. This finding has effects n ur understanding f the sense and welfare f insects, which, cnsequently, encurages us t respect and prtect wildlife n Earth ever mre,” she says.
8. What is the new finding abut bees?
A. They are fnd f having fun.B. They are faithful t the queen.
C. They are adaptable t changesD. They are skilled at rlling balls.
9. Hw did scientists remve external influences in the experiment?
A. By teaching bees new tricks.B. By rewarding bees with fd.
C. By making bees feel at hme.D. By building new hmes fr bees
10. What are Lars Chittka’s wrds mainly abut?
A. The frms f bees’ interactin.B. The cmplexity f bees’ minds.
C. The examples f mammals’ play.D. The purpse f mammals’ enjyment.
11. What des Samadi Galpay say abut the study result?
A. It backs up prir understanding f insects.
B. It reveals reasns fr bees’ psitive feelings.
C. It drives research n animals’ emtinal state.
D. It cntributes t wildlife cnservatin n Earth.

“Yu’re s smart!” This encuraging respnse t children’s math perfrmance is cmmnly heard. Recently, a new study, cnducted by the University f Gergia, fund that encuraging children with respnses related t their persnal characteristics r inbrn abilities might weaken their math mtivatin and achievement ver time.
Parents wh make cmments linking their children’s perfrmance t persnal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred t as persn respnses. In cntrast, parents wh link their children’s actins, such as effrts r strategy use, t their perfrmance are using prcess respnses.
Fr the study, researchers asked mre than 500 parents t reprt n hw they respnded t their children’s math perfrmance and their math beliefs and gals. Children were assessed in tw waves acrss a year t measure their math mtivatin and achievement.
The results shw that parents wh view math ability as changeable are mre likely t give prcess respnses fcused n their children’s strategy use and effrts. rather than their intelligence r ther persnal characteristics. In cntrast, parents wh believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be cnstructive give mre persn respnses. Parents with high expectatins fr their children give a cmbinatin f bth respnses. While respnses highlighting strategy and effrts are nt related t any achievement utcmes, children wh receive mre respnses abut their persnal characteristics — in particular, related t failure —are mre likely t avid harder math prblems. exhibit higher levels f math anxiety, and scre lwer n math achievement tests.
Because persn respnses predict pr math adjustment in children ver time, researcher suggest parents limit this type f respnses at hme. Anther recmmendatin fr parents is t think abut their wn beliefs and gals fr their kids and examine hw these might lead them t. respnd in persn r prcess ways. Simply telling parents t avid talking abut math ability may nt be enugh. Fcusing less n hw children perfrm and mre n their strategy and enjyment f math might be a mre effective way t strengthen mtivatin.
12. Which f the fllwing is an example f prcess respnse?
A. Yu are a lucky dg.
B. Running is in yur bld.
C. What wrks well fr yur study?
D. Why are yu such a math genius?
13. What can be inferred frm the study results?
A. Parents prefer t give mre prcess respnses.
B. Children are mre likely t be affected by math anxiety.
C. Prcess respnses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Persn respnses can discurage children frm learning math.
14. What d researchers advise parents t d?
A. Limit persn respnses.
B. Defend their wn beliefs.
C. Stress children’s perfrmance.
D. Ignre children’s math prblems.
15. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Strategy Children Adpt t Learn Math Helps
B. The Way Parents Talk t Children n Math Matters
C. Respnses t Enhance Children’s Math Perfrmance
D. Suggestins fr Parents t Teach Their Children Math

Frm cttages surrunded by impressive gardens t days spent explring sandy beaches and deep wds filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell prvided a vivid accunt f his family’s time n the Greek island f Crfu in the 1930s.
Cme fr the arresting descriptins f Crfu landscapes and stay fr Durrell’s laugh-ut-lud tales f his unusual family. This bk, Durrell wrte humrusly in the intrductin, “was intended t be a nstalgic(怀旧的)accunt f natural histry, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake f intrducing my family.”
Durrell, later knwn fr his z keeping and the preservatin f wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Crfu. He is 10-year-ld Gerry in the bk—curius, passinate abut animals and a detailed stryteller f his strange family: his imaginative elder brther Larry with his literary ambitins, lvestruck sister Marg, sprty brther Leslie and his ever-calm, lving mther.
Durrell’s attentin t detail is what makes the bk s winning, with every sight, sund and smell f the island brught t life. One minute yu’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk dwn t the daffdil-yellw cttage, the next yu’ll be catching yur breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Inian Sea: “Lying n my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, nly mving my hands and feet slightly, I was lking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf acrss the sky and wndering hw many stars it cntained.”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult t classify, being ne part travel, ne part autbigraphy, ne part natural histry, and ne part cmedy, with a thread f descriptive language running thrughut that smetimes raises it nearly t petry.
As a real delight t read, it’s the perfect literary escapism fr any adult r lder teenager wh is currently walking dwn a tugh rad in life.

When put t tests, bees have lng prved that they’ve gt a lt mre t ffer than pllinating (授粉), making hney and being lyal t a queen. The hard-wrking insects can change their behavir when things seem difficult, and nw sme scientists find there is prf that they als like t play.
Scientists frm Queen Mary University f Lndn perfrmed an experiment, in which they set up a cntainer that allwed bees t travel frm their nest t a feeding area. But alng the way, the bees culd chse t pass thrugh a separate sectin with sme small wden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went ut f their way t rll wden balls repeatedly, despite n apparent incentive (刺激) t d s.”
Earlier studies have shwn that the black and yellw bugs are willing t learn new tricks in exchange fr fd r ther rewards. In this case, t get rid f external factrs, scientists made sure the bees had adapted t their new hme and that their envirnment was stress-free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects als interact with bjects as a frm f play. Als similar t peple, yunger bees seem t be mre playful than adult bees. “This research prvides a strng indicatin that insect minds are far mre cmplicated than we imagine. There are lts f animals wh play just fr the purpse f enjyment, but mst examples cme frm yung mammals and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a prfessr f sensry and behaviral eclgy at Queen Mary University f Lndn, wh led the study.
The study’s first authr. Samadi Galpay, wh is a PhD student at Queen Mary University f Lndn, states that it is mre evident that bees may be capable f experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience sme kind f psitive emtinal states, even if basic, like ther larger animals d. This finding has effects n ur understanding f the sense and welfare f insects, which, cnsequently, encurages us t respect and prtect wildlife n Earth ever mre,” she says.
8. What is the new finding abut bees?
A. They are fnd f having fun.B. They are faithful t the queen.
C. They are adaptable t changesD. They are skilled at rlling balls.
9. Hw did scientists remve external influences in the experiment?
A. By teaching bees new tricks.B. By rewarding bees with fd.
C. By making bees feel at hme.D. By building new hmes fr bees
10. What are Lars Chittka’s wrds mainly abut?
A. The frms f bees’ interactin.B. The cmplexity f bees’ minds.
C. The examples f mammals’ play.D. The purpse f mammals’ enjyment.
11. What des Samadi Galpay say abut the study result?

“Yu’re s smart!” This encuraging respnse t children’s math perfrmance is cmmnly heard. Recently, a new study, cnducted by the University f Gergia, fund that encuraging children with respnses related t their persnal characteristics r inbrn abilities might weaken their math mtivatin and achievement ver time.
Parents wh make cmments linking their children’s perfrmance t persnal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred t as persn respnses. In cntrast parents wh link their children’s actins, such as effrts r strategy use, t their perfrmance are using prcess respnses.
Fr the study, researchers asked mre than 500 parents t reprt n hw they respnded t their children’s math perfrmance and their math beliefs and gals. Children were assessed in tw waves acrss a year t measure their math mtivatin and achievement.
The results shw that parents wh view math ability as changeable are mre likely t give prcess respnses fcused n their children’s strategy use and effrts. rather than their intelligence r ther persnal characteristics. In cntrast, parents wh believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be cnstructive give mre persn respnses. Parents with high expectatins fr their children give a cmbinatin f bth respnses. While respnses highlighting strategy and effrts are nt related t any achievement utcmes, children wh receive mre respnses abut their persnal characteristics — in particular, related t failure —are mre likely t avid harder math prblems. exhibit higher levels f math anxiety, and scre lwer n math achievement tests.
Because persn respnses predict pr math adjustment in children ver time, researcher suggest parents limit this type f respnses at hme. Anther recmmendatin fr parents is t think abut their wn beliefs and gals fr their kids and examine hw these might lead them t. respnd in persn r prcess ways. Simply telling parents t avid talking abut math ability may nt be enugh. Fcusing less n hw children perfrm and mre n their strategy and enjyment f math might be a mre effective way t strengthen mtivatin.
12. Which f the fllwing is an example f prcess respnse?
A. Yu are a lucky dg.
B. Running is in yur bld.
C. What wrks well fr yur study?
D. Why are yu such a math genius?
13. What can be inferred frm the study results?
A. Parents prefer t give mre prcess respnses.
B. Children are mre likely t be affected by math anxiety.
C. Prcess respnses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Persn respnses can discurage children frm learning math.
14. What d researchers advise parents t d?
A. Limit persn respnses.
B. Defend their wn beliefs.
C. Stress children’s perfrmance.
D. Ignre children’s math prblems.
15. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Strategy Children Adpt t Learn Math Helps
B. The Way Parents Talk t Children n Math Matters
C. Respnses t Enhance Children’s Math Perfrmance
D. Suggestins fr Parents t Teach Their Children Math
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要内容是说父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应，会对孩子产生不同的作用；用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子，可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In cntrast, parents wh link their children’s actins, such as effrts r strategy use, t their perfrmance are using prcess respnses. (相比之下，将孩子的行为（如努力或策略使用）与他们的表现联系起来的父母使用的是过程反应。)”可知，将孩子的行为与他们的表现联系起来的父母使用的是过程反应，分析四个选项，C项“What wrks well fr yur study? (什么对你的学习有效？)”将孩子的行为与表现联系起来，符合语境，属于“过程反应”，故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“children wh receive mre respnses abut their persnal characteristics — in particular, related t failure —are mre likely t avid harder math prblems. exhibit higher levels f math anxiety, and scre lwer n math achievement tests. (那些对自己的个人品质，尤其是与失败有关的品质，得到更多回应的孩子，更有可能避免更难的数学问题，表现出更高的数学焦虑水平，并且在数学成绩测试中得分更低)”可推理出，个人反应会阻碍孩子学习数学，故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Because persn respnses predict pr math adjustment in children ver time, researcher suggest parents limit this type f respnses at hme.(因为人的反应预示着孩子的数学适应能力会随着时间的推移而变差，研究人员建议父母在家里限制这种反应。)”可知，专家建议父母限制个人反应，故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读整篇文章，尤其是第一段中“Recently, a new study, cnducted by the University f Gergia, fund that encuraging children with respnses related t their persnal characteristics r inbrn abilities might weaken their math mtivatin and achievement ver time. (最近，乔治亚大学进行的一项新研究发现，随着时间的推移，鼓励孩子用与他们的个人特征或天生能力相关的回答可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成就。)”可知，文章主要内容是说父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应，会对孩子产生不同的作用；用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子，可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩。所以B项“The Way Parents Talk t Children n Math Matters (父母与孩子谈论数学的方式很重要)”作为本文的题目与文章主题相符合。故选B项。

Have yu nticed hw evenings cl ff mre in rural areas than they d in cities? Urban areas als tend t get htter during the day than any nearby areas with lts f greenery.____16____
It’s mainly caused by the difference in materials that cver the grund in urban areas and the cuntryside. In the cuntry, evapratin(蒸发)f water frm sil and the leaves f plants helps t cl the air.____17____Having fewer plants, cities have less evapratin and are unable t cl dwn the temperature.
Dark clurs are anther prblem. Dark bjects absrb all wavelengths f light, making the temperature increase mre nticeably. In cntrast, white bjects reflect all wavelengths f light energy.____18____Sadly, mst parts f cities are cvered by asphalt(沥青), steel, rfs and bricks which are ften dark in clur.
____19____As peple drive cars, heat buildings, and run air cnditiners, cities are generating waste heat and puring it int the atmsphere directly. The waste heat adds t the slar energy trapped by the tall buildings.
But cities dn’t have t be s ht. Sme cities have lightened their streets. This is dne by cvering black asphalt streets, parking lts, and dark rfs with a mre reflective gray cating. ____20____
Having mre green spaces als helps. Plants serve as a natural air cnditiner. They catch heat, release vapur(蒸汽)int the air, and take away heat, cntributing t cler, fresher cities.
A. Cities als prduce mre heat than suburban areas.
B. The higher the temperature, the shrter the wavelength.
C. This phenmenn is knwn as the urban heat-island effect.
D. S it will nt be transfrmed int heat which makes the air ht.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章介绍了热岛效应。
【16题详解】
段末句，考查段落结论句。根据上文提示“Have yu nticed hw evenings cl ff mre in rural areas than they d in cities? Urban areas als tend t get htter during the day than any nearby areas with lts f greenery.”（你有没有注意到，农村的夜晚比城市凉爽得多?城市地区在白天也往往比附近有很多绿色植物的地区更热。）可知，本文是一篇介绍热岛效应的科普文。首段的行文逻辑为从现象到结论，从而引出热岛效应这一地理名词。所以，C项“This phenmenn is knwn as the urban heat-island effect.”（这种现象被称为城市热岛效应。）符合题意。故选C。
【17题详解】
段中句，考查转折性过渡句。F选项“Much f the sil in cities, by cntrast, has been cvered with rads and buildings.”（相比之下，城市的大部分土壤已经被道路和建筑物覆盖。）的“城市的土地被道路和建筑覆盖”与前一句“evapratin f water frm sil and the leaves f plants helps t cl t air”（土壤和植物叶子中的水分蒸发有助于冷却到空气中）形成转折关系。这两句回应第二段主题句“It’s mainly caused by the difference in materials that cver the grund in urban areas and the cuntryside.”（这主要是由于城市和农村覆盖地面的材料不同造成的。）故选F。
【18题详解】
段中句，考查结论性过渡句。空前句子“In cntrast, white bjects reflect all wavelengths f light energy”（相反，白色物体反射所有波长的光能）和D选项“S it will nt be transfrmed int heat which makes the air ht.”（所以它不会转化为使空气变热的热量。）形成因果关系。即，白色物品会反射所有波长的光，因此能量不会被转换成热量，从而让空气变热。故选D。
【19题详解】
段首句，考查段落主题句。A选项“Cities als prduce mre heat than suburban areas.”（城市也比郊区产生更多的热量。）中的“prduce mre heat（产生更多的热量）”与选项下一句“As peple drive cars, heat buildings, and run air cnditiners, cities are generating waste heat and puring it int the atmsphere directly.”（随着人们开车、给建筑物供暖和使用空调，城市正在产生废热，并将其直接排放到大气中。）中的“generate waste heat（产生废热）”形成对应关系。开车，供暖或是开空调都是产生热量的行为。故选A。
【20题详解】
段末句，考查递进逻辑关系。本段的讨论内容为解决热岛效应的方法。G选项中的“these changes（这些变化）”对应了选项前面一句的方法，即，“cvering black asphalt streets, parking lts, and dark rfs with a mre reflective gray cating”（覆盖黑色沥青街道、停车场和深色屋顶的反光性更强的灰色涂层）。同时，G选项“These changes can decrease air temperatures dramatically, especially in summer.”（这些变化会使气温急剧下降，尤其是在夏天。）进一步解释了这些举措所能带来的好处，与前文形成递进关系。故选G。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：由中国国际文化协会、中央美术学院主办的“快乐春节”全球吉祥物设计大赛于8月19日在北京拉开帷幕。动词rganize意为“组织”，和谓语之间没有连词，在句中作非谓语，和其逻辑主语构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词形式。句首首字母应大写。故填Organized。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：“快乐春节”包括在海外国家举办的一系列关于农历新年的活动，让人们体验节日气氛，了解中国文化。空处为主句谓语动词，此处描述客观事实，所以应用一般现在时。主语“Happy Chinese New Year” 为第三人称单数，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填invlves。
【38题详解】

【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：比赛收集的吉祥物设计体现了“快乐春节”活动的理念，强调团圆、节日气氛和分享。此处是限制性定语从句，先行词为cncept，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，所以应用关系代词which或that引导。故填which或that。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：由于明年是兔年，所以以兔子为主要形象的设计应该是丰富的农历新年文化元素。设空处应为介词，表示“作为”应用as。故填as。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：征集活动于8月19日开始，9月26日结束。根据“began n August 19(于8月19日开始)”和“will end n Sept 26(9月26日结束)”可知，此处表示并列关系，应用连词and连接两个谓语。故填and。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：征集的作品将进入四个阶段的评审，最终选出的作品将于今年年底作为“快乐中国新年”活动的吉祥物正式发布。此处修饰谓语动词，应用副词fficially表示“官方地，正式地”，作状语。故填fficially。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：据文化和旅游部国际交流与合作局局长高征介绍，“快乐春节”自20多年前推出以来，已成为海外最受欢迎、最具影响力的品牌活动之一。根据“since its launch mre than 20 years ag(自20多年前推出以来)”可知，此处应用现在完成时。主语“Happy Chinese New Year”为第三人称单数，助动词使用has。故填has becme。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：据文化和旅游部国际交流与合作局局长高征介绍，“快乐春节”自20多年前推出以来，已成为海外最受欢迎、最具影响力品牌活动之一。此处作表语，应用形容词influential表示“有影响力的”。故填influential。
【45题详解】
