【答案】11. cmpeted
12. Having heard##Hearing
13. pints##is pinting
14. yurself
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了父亲教导我不要在背后说别人的闲话。
【11题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：在中学的时候，我曾经和另一个同学艾米竞争班长。分析句子可知，cmpete(竞争)是句中谓语动词，与主语I之间是主动关系，句中有时间状语When in middle schl，应使用一般过去时态。故填cmpeted。
【12题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：父亲听了我的话，对我说：“当你用食指指着别人的时候，你就用另外三个手指指着自己，而且三倍的力量回击。”。分析句子可知，hear是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语my father之间是主动关系，结合句意，“(hear) what I said”可以理解为发生在“my father tld me”之前，用现在分词的完成式having heard，表示主动和已经发生，也可以理解为与“my father tld me”同时发生，用现在分词的一般式hearing，表主动和同时发生，另外，句首单词首字母大写。故填Having heard/Hearing。
【13题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：父亲听了我的话，对我说：“当你用食指指着别人的时候，你就用另外三个手指指着自己，而且三倍的力量回击。”。分析句子可知，pint是时间状语从句中谓语动词，与主语yur frefinger之间是主动关系，结合句意，父亲的话“yur frefinger (pint) at thers’ back”可以理解为普遍现象，用一般现在时，也可以理解为强调正发生，用现在进行时，主语yur frefinger是单数名词，谓语动词也用单数形式。故填pints/is pinting。
【14题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：父亲听了我的话，对我说：“当你用食指指着别人的时候，你就用另外三个手指指着自己，而且三倍的力量回击。”。根据句意可知，“你用你的另外三个手指指着自己”，其中施动者和动作承受者都是“你自己”，应用反身代词yurself作宾语。故填yurself。
B

【答案】15. what
16. t think
17. feeling
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。讲述重读故事的好处。
【15题详解】
考查宾语从句关系词。句意：你已经知道了会发生什么。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导宾语从句，在从句中作主语，由句意可知表示“什么”，因而用what引导。故填what。
【16题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它使你有机会思考这本书是有道德意义还是有更深的含义。分析句子结构可知，设空处需填入不定式作目的状语。故填t think。
【17题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：重读它们是另一种感受良好情绪和停止烦恼的方式。stp ding表示“停止做某事”，因此设空处需填入现在分词形式。故填feeling。

C
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
Yur persnality shapes yu. Persnality is the characteristic patterns f thughts, feelings and behavirs ____18____ make a persn unique.

Fr example, an utging persn may jump fr jy when facing new experiences, while a shy persn may feel ____20____ (embarrass) in frnt f a large grup f peple.
【答案】18. which##that
19. t predict
20. embarrassed
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是什么是人格和理解人格的作用。
【18题详解】
考查定语从句的引导词。句意：人格是使一个人独一无二的思想、情感和行为的特征模式。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词patterns是物，因此空格处用关系代词which/that，故填which/that。
【19题详解】
考查不定式和固定短语。句意：理解人格可以让我们预测人们对特定情况的反应，以及他们的喜好和价值。allw sb. t d sth.是固定短语，意为“允许某人做某事”，因此空格处是不定式t predict，故填t predict。
【20题详解】
考查形容词。句意：例如，一个外向的人在面对新的经历时可能会高兴得跳起来，而一个害羞的人可能会在一大群人面前感到尴尬。feel后跟形容词作表语，修饰persn用ed形容词，即embarrassed，意为“感到尴尬的”，故填embarrassed。

Can dgs and cats live in perfect harmny in the same hme? Peple wh are thinking abut adpting a dg as a friend fr their cats are wrried that they will fight. A recent research has fund a new recipe fr success. Accrding t the study, if the cat is adpted befre the dg, and if they are intrduced when still yung (less than 6 mnths fr cats, a year fr dgs), it is highly prbable that the tw pets will get alng swimmingly. Tw­thirds f the hmes interviewed reprted a psitive relatinship between their cat and dg.
Hwever, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reprted cldness between the cat and dg in 25% f the hmes, while aggressin and fighting were bserved in 10% f the hmes. One reasn fr this is prbably that sme f their bdy signals are just ppsite. Fr example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggressin, while a dg ding the same signals submissin.
In hmes with cats and dgs living peacefully, researchers bserved a surprising behavir. They are learning hw t talk each ther's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn hw t talk “Dg”, and dgs can learn hw t talk “Cat”.
What's interesting is that bth cats and dgs have appeared t develp their intelligence. They can learn hw t read each ther's bdy signals, suggesting that the tw may have mre in cmmn than was previusly suspected. Once familiar with each ther's presence and bdy language, cats and dgs can play tgether, greet each ther nse t nse, and enjy sleeping tgether n the sfa. They can easily share the same water bwl and in sme cases grm (梳理) each ther.
The significance f this research n cats and dgs may g beynd pets — t peple wh dn't get alng, including neighbrs, clleagues at wrk, and even wrld superpwers. If cats and dgs can learn t get alng, surely peple have a gd chance.

【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了猫和狗可以和睦相处，并呼吁人类应该学会和谐相处。
【24题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Tw­thirds f the hmes interviewed reprted a psitive relatinship between their cat and dg.(三分之二的受访家庭表示，他们的猫狗关系良好。)”可知，划线词所在的句子意思是：根据这项研究，如果猫在狗之前被收养，而且它们是在很小的时候被引进的(猫不到6个月，狗不到一年)，这两只宠物很可能会相处得很好。如果采取适当的措施，猫与狗之间是可以和平相处的，因而“swimmingly”应该是“顺利地；轻易地”之意。D项smthly意为“平稳地；顺利地”，切合题意。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“researchers bserved a surprising behavir. They are learning hw t talk each ther's language(研究人员观察到一种令人惊讶的行为。他们正在学习如何讲彼此的语言)”可知，这个令人吃惊的发现便是猫与狗竟然能够互相学习对方的语言。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“What's interesting is that bth cats and dgs have appeared t develp their intelligence. They can learn hw t read each ther's bdy signals, suggesting that the tw may have mre in cmmn than was previusly suspected. Once familiar with each ther's presence and bdy language, cats and dgs can play tgether, greet each ther nse t nse, and enjy sleeping tgether n the sfa. They can easily share the same water bwl and in sme cases grm each ther.( 有趣的是，猫和狗似乎都在发展它们的智力。它们可以学习如何读懂对方的身体信号，这表明它们之间的共同点可能比之前怀疑的要多。一旦熟悉了彼此的存在感和肢体语言，猫和狗就可以一起玩耍，面对面地打招呼，一起睡在沙发上。他们可以很容易地共用一个水碗，在某些情况下还会互相梳理毛发。)”可知，事实上猫与狗之间存在更多的共同点，它们并没有我们想象中的那么格格不入。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Can dgs and cats live in perfect harmny in the same hme?(狗和猫能在同一个家里和睦相处吗？)”和最后一段“If cats and dgs can learn t get alng, surely peple have a gd chance.(如果猫和狗都能学会和睦相处，人类当然也有很大的机会。)”可知，通过猫与狗的研究可以得出我们人类应该学会和谐相处。故选A。

The prductin f cffee beans is a huge, prfitable business, but, unfrtunately, full-sun prductin is taking ver the industry and bringing abut a lt f damage. The change in hw cffee is grwn frm shade-grwn prductin t full-sun prductin endangers the very existence f certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the wrld’s eclgical balance.
On a lcal level, the damage f the frest required by full-sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals.

The lss f shade trees is already causing a slight change in the wrld’s climate, and studies shw that lss f xygen-giving trees als leads t air pllutin and glbal warming. Mrever, the new grwing techniques are cntributing t acidic (酸性的) sil cnditins.
It is bvius that the way much cffee is grwn affects many aspects f life, frm the lcal envirnment t the glbal eclgy. But cnsumers d have a chice. They can purchase shade-grwn cffee whenever pssible, althugh at a higher cst. The future health f the planet and mankind is surely wrth mre than an inexpensive cup f cffee.
28. What can we learn abut full-sun cffee prductin frm Paragraph 4?
A. It limits the spread f new grwing techniques.
B. It leads t air pllutin and glbal warming.
C. It slws dwn the lss f shade trees.
D. It imprves lcal sil cnditins.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了全日照的咖啡生产方式给环境和生态带来的种种危害，呼吁人们购买遮荫种植的咖啡。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Bth lcally and glbally, the cntinued spread f full-sun cffee plantatins (种植园) culd mean the destructin f the rainfrest eclgy. The lss f shade trees is already causing a slight change in the wrld’s climate, and studies shw that lss f xygen-giving trees als leads t air pllutin and glbal warming.(在当地和全球范围内，全日照咖啡种植园的持续扩张可能意味着雨林生态的破坏。遮荫树的减少已经导致世界气候的轻微变化，研究表明，供氧气的树木的减少也会导致空气污染和全球变暖)”可知，全日照咖啡的种植方式会导致空气污染和全球变暖。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But cnsumers d have a chice. They can purchase shade-grwn cffee whenever pssible, althugh at a higher cst. The future health f the planet and mankind is surely wrth mre than an inexpensive cup f cffee.(但消费者确实有选择。只要有可能，他们可以购买遮荫种植的咖啡，尽管价格更高。地球和人类未来的健康肯定比一杯廉价的咖啡更有价值)”可推知，作者写作本文的目的是劝说人们购买遮荫种植的咖啡。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段“The change in hw cffee is grwn frm shade-grwn prductin t full-sun prductin endangers the very existence f certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the wrld’s eclgical balance.(咖啡种植方式从遮荫生产转变为全日照生产，这危及了某些动物和鸟类的生存，甚至扰乱了世界的生态平衡)”提出中心论点，全日照的咖啡生产方式带来危害，第二段“On a lcal level, the damage f the frest required by full-sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals.(在地方层面上，充足的阳光场对森林的破坏会影响该地区的鸟类和动物)”、第三段“On a mre glbal level, the destructin f the rainfrest fr full-sun cffee fields als threatens (威胁) human life.(在更全球化的层面上，为全日照咖啡田而破坏雨林也威胁着人类的生命)”以及第四段“Bth lcally and glbally, the cntinued spread f full-sun cffee plantatins culd mean the destructin f the rainfrest eclgy.(在当地和全球范围内，全日照咖啡种植园的持续扩张可能意味着雨林生态的破坏)”从不同层面展开说明，三段为并列关系，最后一段“It is bvius that the way much cffee is grwn affects many aspects f life, frm the lcal envirnment t the glbal eclgy. (很明显，咖啡的种植方式会影响生活的许多方面，从当地环境到全球生态)”给出结论，所以A项能够体现文章的结构。故选A。

Why shuld mankind explre space? Why shuld mney, time and effrt be spent explring and researching smething with s few apparent benefits? Why shuld resurces be spent n space rather than n cnditins and peple n Earth? These are questins that, understandably, are very ften asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in ur genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drve ur ancestrs t mve frm the trees int the plains, and n int all pssible areas and envirnments? The wider the spread f a species, the better its chance f survival. Perhaps the best reasn fr explring space is this genetic tendency t expand wherever pssible.
Nearly every successful civilizatin has explred, because by ding s, any dangers in surrunding areas can be identified and prepared fr. Withut knwledge, we may be cmpletely destryed by the danger. With knwledge, we can lessen its effects.
Explratin als allws minerals and ther ptential (潜在的) resurces t be fund. Even if we have n immediate need f them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resurces may be mre than physical pssessins. Knwledge r techniques have been acquired thrugh explratin. The techniques may have medical applicatins which can imprve the length r quality f ur lives. We have already benefited frm ther unexpected benefits including imprvements in earthquake predictin, in satellites fr weather frecasting and in cmmunicatin systems. Even nn-stick pans and mirrred sunglasses are by-prducts (副产品) f technlgical develpments in the space industry!
While many resurces are spent n what seems a small return, the explratin f space allws creative, brave and intelligent members f ur species t fcus n what may serve t save us. While space may hld many wnders and explanatins f hw the universe was frmed r hw it wrks, it als hlds dangers. The danger exists, but knwledge can help human beings t survive. Withut the ability t reach ut acrss space, the chance t save urselves might nt exist.
While Earth is the nly planet knwn t supprt life, surely the adaptive ability f humans wuld allw us t live n ther planets. It is true that the lifestyle wuld be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely culd in the future.
31. Why des the authr mentin the questins in Paragraph 1?
A. T express his dubts.
B. T cmpare different ideas.
C. T intrduce pints fr discussin.
D. T describe the cnditins n Earth.
32. What is the reasn fr explring space based n Paragraph 2?
A. Humans are nature-brn t d s.
B. Humans have the tendency t fight.
C. Humans may find new surces f fd.
D. Humans dn’t like t stay in the same place.
33. What makes it pssible fr humans t live n ther planets?
A. Our genetic makeup.
B. Resurces n the earth.
C. The adaptive ability f humans.
D. By-prducts in space explratin.
34. Which f the statements can best sum up the passage?
A. Space explratin has created many wnders.
B. Space explratin prvides the best value fr mney.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从人类天性的角度剖析了人类进行太空探索的动机，以及从中获得的益处——太空探索可以帮助我们避免地球上潜在的一些问题。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Why shuld mankind explre space? Why shuld mney, time and effrt be spent explring and researching smething with s few apparent benefits? Why shuld resurces be spent n space rather than n cnditins and peple n Earth? These are questins that, understandably, are very ften asked. (人类为什么要探索太空？为什么要花费金钱、时间和精力去探索和研究那些没有什么明显好处的东西呢？为什么资源应该花在太空上，而不是花在地球上的环境和人身上？可以理解的是，这些问题经常被问到)”可知，作者用连续的三个问题来说明人们对太空探索的意义的困惑，再结合下文段落对此进行解答可推知，作者提出这些问题是为了引出要讨论的主题——太空探索的意义。故选C项。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Perhaps the best answer lies in ur genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. (也许最好的答案在于我们作为人类的基因构成)”和“Perhaps the best reasn fr explring space is this genetic tendency t expand wherever pssible. (也许探索太空的最好理由是这种向任何可能的地方扩张的遗传倾向)”可知，本段给出的理由是人类的基因决定了人类倾向于向任何可能的地方扩张，去探索太空，即人类天生就会这么做。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While Earth is the nly planet knwn t supprt life, surely the adaptive ability f humans wuld allw us t live n ther planets. (虽然地球是已知的唯一一个支持生命的星球，但人类的适应能力肯定会允许我们在其他星球上生活)”可知，人类的适应能力使得人类居住在其他星球上成为可能。故选C项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段以问题的形式引出对太空探索意义的思考，第二到五段从不同方面说明进行太空探索的原因，包括人类有向任何可能的地方扩张的基因倾向，每个文明都会探索周围环境以降低危险，探索使得人类能够发现潜在能源，发现拯救自身的办法，第六段用人类强大的适应能力说明人类有可能住在其他星球上，表达对未来的希望。由此可知，文章的主旨是太空探索可以帮助我们避免地球上潜在的一些问题。故选D项。
