【題目】閱讀下面材料,在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容(1個(gè)單詞)或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。
People can often see a talking parrot on a TV show, in a movie, or even in someone's home. The parrot has learned (copy) sounds that people make. Dolphins, bats, and some other animals also copy sounds. Now we can add elephants this list of copycats (盲目模仿者).
Dr. Joyce Poole is an expert,studies the sounds of elephants. While she was in Kenya, she would hear strange noises (make) by Mlaika after sunset. Mlaika was 8-year-old African elephant and it lived near a highway.
Dr. Poole says that she couldn't tell the (different) between Mlaika's call and the (distance) truck noise. Why did it copy the sounds of the trucks driving by? Animals that are able to copy sounds may enjoy (practice) new sounds. When they (keep) outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds.
So far Dr. Poole (spend) 18 years with two female Asian elephants. Asian elephants make sounds like birds to talk with one another.
Parrots, dolphins, humans, and elephants show that being a copycat is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.

【答案】to copy;to;who;made;a;difference;distant;racticing;are kept;has spent
【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,講述的一些動(dòng)物可以模仿別的聲音,比如鸚鵡,海豚,蝙蝠,猩猩。Dr. Joyce Poole就是一個(gè)研究大象聲音的動(dòng)物學(xué)家,發(fā)現(xiàn)大象能像鳥一樣發(fā)出聲音來(lái)和其他大象交流。
(1)考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意:那只鸚鵡已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)了重復(fù)人們發(fā)出的聲音。learn to do sth.固定短語(yǔ)“學(xué)會(huì)做某事”,故填to copy 。
(2)考查介詞。句意:現(xiàn)在我們把大象加到這個(gè)盲目的模仿者的名單上。add sth. to sth.固定短語(yǔ)“把……加到……之上”,故填to。
(3)考查定語(yǔ)從句。本題定語(yǔ)從句的先行詞是expert,關(guān)系代詞who指代先行詞,在句中作主語(yǔ),故填who 。
(4)考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。noise與動(dòng)詞make之間構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系,所以使用過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ),修飾名詞noise,相當(dāng)于定語(yǔ)從句that were made...。故填made 。
(5) 考查冠詞。橫線后8-year-old African elephant中的名詞elephant(大象)是一個(gè)可數(shù)名詞,使用不定冠詞a/an修飾表示泛指。因?yàn)閑ight是以元音發(fā)音開頭的單詞,所以用an來(lái)修飾,故填an。
(6)考查名詞。tell后面的the 后要接名詞,tell the difference between A and B固定短語(yǔ)“區(qū)分A和B”,故填difference 。
(7)考查形容詞。橫線后面是名詞短語(yǔ)truck noise,在英語(yǔ)中要使用形容詞修飾名詞或名詞短語(yǔ),所以使用distance的形容詞形式distant,故填distant 。
(8)考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。enjoy doing sth.“喜歡做某事”,enjoy后接動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ),故填practicing 。
(9)考查語(yǔ)態(tài)。動(dòng)物是被圈起來(lái),因此該句用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),故填are kept 。
(10)考查時(shí)態(tài)。時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)so far(到目前為止)通常和現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)連用,表示到目前為止已經(jīng)完成的事情,故填has spent。

【題目】閱讀理解
In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mum's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mum was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
Mum and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mum rescued me. I hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder(駕雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped(包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.
(1)What can be inferred about the author's family?
A.His father was a cruel man.
B.His parents didn't love him.
C.His parents used to be very busy.
D.His mother didn't have any jobs.
(2)What happened when the author was 4?
A.He learned to smoke.
B.He was locked in a basement.
C.He was arrested by the police.
D.He nearly caused a fire accident.
(3)Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.
B.The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.
C.Leonhard often visited the author's family after 1950.
D.The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.
(4)What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A.To look back on his childhood with adventures.
B.To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.
C.To express how much he misses Leonhard.
D.To show off his pride in making trouble.

【題目】A new “smart bin” could mean the end of environment-conscious families spending hours sorting tins, cartons, bottles, and cardboard for recycling.

The invention, which can help sort rubbish into recycling categories without needing people to operate. It is being trialed in Poland and is set to go on sale in UK within a few years.

The bin, designed by start-up company Bin.E, recognizes different type of waste via a system positioned inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed inside, the camera and sensor identify its type and place it in one of the smaller bins. Then it compresses the waste so it occupies less space.

It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins. Matt Thomas, a buyer at John Lewis, gave us the reason, “We’ve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more focused on sustainability. In response to this demand, we are really excited to introduce a smart bin this autumn/winter season-designed to make recycling more efficient and functional for the everyday home."

Bin.E's official release on the market will take place in 2018. However, at first only a larger version designed for offices will be available.The office bin will sell at 430 while customers will need to pay a 107 subscription fee for an accompanying smartphone app, which hooks them up with collection services. A spokesman at Bin.E said that home version of the bin will be cheaper and will not include a monthly payment.

They added: “After the office version, we plan to create an outdoor version and later the home version. We decided to go for the outdoor version for public areas first because it is more difficult to organize an efficient waste segregating system than in our homes.”

1What do we know about about a new “smart bin” from the first paragraph?

A. It works automatically.

B. It has been used widely.

C. It is easy to operate.

D. It is very expensive.

2What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The waste.

B. The camera.

C. The bin.

D. The sensor.

3Why is John Lewis introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins?

A. To change people’s behaviour,

B. To satisfy increasing demands.

C. To popularize new technology.

D. To make them more famous.

4Where will the first version of new “smart bin” be used according to Bin. E’s official?

C. In the open air.

D. In the office.

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel you are already close friends. They are always good talkers. Here are several skills that good talkers have in common. If you follow the skills, they'll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says,“At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. ” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully. Real listening at least means some things. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice.
Finally, good talkers know well how to “say goodbye”. If you're saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I've really enjoyed meeting you.” Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away, happy and satisfied.
A. It's polite to listen to others with a smile.
B. You'd better change the subject if the voice sounds dull.
C. Don't be afraid to say so if you want to see that person again.
D. Common as the question is, it will get things going.
E. You can become a popular person.
F. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
G. These people have something in common.
