第5题.
Passenger pigeons
（旅鸽）once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks
（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.
It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons-a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles
（about 515 kilometers）long was seen near Cincinnati.
Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.
By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans' need for wood, which scattered （驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.
In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1,1914.
（1）In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons ______.
A: were the biggest bird in the world
B: lived mainly in the south of America
C: did great harm to the natural environment
D: Were the largest population in the US
（2）The underlined word "undoing" probably refers to the pigeons'______.
A: escape
B: ruin
C: liberation
D: evolution
（3）What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?
A: To seek pleasure.
B: To save other birds.
C: To make money.
D: To protect crops.
（4）What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?
A: It was ignored by the public.
B: It was declared too late.
C: It was unfair.
D: It was strict.
【答案】DBCB
【解答】
（1）D 细节理解题。

根据文章第一段Passenger pigeons once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers.Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.旅鸽曾经以令人难以置信的数量飞过美国的大部分地区。

18世纪和19世纪的书面记录中描述了巨大的鸟群，它们使天空变暗达数小时之久。

旅
鸽曾经飞过美国的次数是一个难以置信的数据，可知，在美国，18世纪和1 9世纪旅鸽的数量很大。

故选D。

（2）B 词义猜测题。

根据文章Where the birds were abundant，people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the
thousands.可知，人们认为旅鸽数量多会永恒的供应，于是成千的人杀害了旅鸽。

因此可推测此处undoing的意思是“死亡，毁灭”。

故选B。

（3）C 细节理解题。

根据文章第四段the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans'need for wood,which scattered ( 驱散) the flock sand forced the birds to go farther
north.可知美国人是为了需要木材挣钱而驱赶旅鸽，而不是为了保护庄稼。

故选C。

（4）B 推理判断题。

根据文章最后一段In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10
years.可知，到密歇根州通过禁止屠杀旅鸽的法律时，在美国已经10年没有见过大的旅鸽群，这可推断旅鸽数量已经很少了，因此这项法律通过得太
晚了。

故选B。

第6题.
In what's believed to be a first London's Imperial College Business School is using holographic technology
（全息技术）to present lectures to students. From Califonia Marrowli NaicaGoogle's product manager was beamed onto a stage like Magic. The head of Imperials EdTech Lab says, this presents a window to the world. Through Holograms
（全息图）we can bring in lectures from across the globe, and they can appear in front of our students in a realistic manner. That's the key.
The developer of the technique explains how it works. We're presenting a 2D image as a 3D image, and the iris
（人类的虹膜）is flat so we see everything in 2D. Our brain changes it to 3D. We are doing exactly the same trick. We're presenting a 2D image but with depth of field and a really good vision. My brain just changes it to 3D. Attendees say there are many ways this tool can help educators and students.
The second thing we could do with, that is having CEOs coming to the classroom, and engage with students. And the third way probably is maybe to have Albert Einstein coming to the classroom. There might be a long wait for that. Meanwhile, master student Josephine Collin says she prefers the interaction a hologram lecture offers compared to those presented online.
I wouldn't mind it. I think it's very interesting if we can have access to different lectures and different like guest speakers, things that technology, that's something I would definitely enjoy. Developers say the cost of holographic technology has dropped considerably since the days it was used mostly in big-budget music shows making it possible for educational institutions to afford it.
（1）According to this passage, holographic technology mainly benefits ______. A: Health care
B: Commerce
C: Education
D: Agriculture
（2）How does holographic technology work?
A: Our sight upgrades a 2D image into 3D.
B: Our brain transforms a 2D image into 3D.
C: The developer presents the lectures online.
D: The iris is so flat that we see images in 2D.
（3）Compared to the lectures presented online, a hologram lecture ______.
A: brings Albert Einstein back to life
B: allows the lecturer to interact with students
C: is more money-saving for educational institutions
D: is more available whenever and wherever you are
（4）What is the author's attitude towards holographic technology?
A: Ignoring.
B: Compromising.
C: Approving.
D: Disagreeing.

故选B。

（3）B 细节理解题。

观点态度题。

根据最后一段可知作者觉得全息技术有趣，可知他支持这种技术。

故选C。

第7题.
Before you were my teacher, I thought that teaching was the last thing I wanted to do. Why would someone want to come in every day and attempt to instruct students, any of whom couldn't care less, or to get paid very little compared with the work he or she put in?
You may have thought that the only thing I was learning from you was the course, but that's not all I learned. From reference books to funny jokes, you made each class exciting. You always tried to make class charming so that we could be excited about learning. However, those days have gone by.
Whenever I was confused and needed extra help, you were the exact one to
turn to. I would walk into your room for help and there would be several kids. You ran from one student to the next helping each one through their confusion. You could have gone back home after the bell rang. Instead, you chose to stay and care about what your students did.
You didn't only care about my learning, but you also cared about other things I was involved in. At the beginning of the year, we wrote down our hobbies
and interests. You remembered what we wrote, too. I had missed class for track meets
（田径运动会）and when I came back the next day, you would ask me how it went. Many of the teachers never bothered to ask what I liked to do.
These things showed me the value of teaching. They showed me how much of an influence a teacher can have on a student. I want to be the one that
influences students and pushes them towards success. I want students to leave my classroom thinking that their time was worthwhile
（值得的）. I want to be the inspiration for them that you were for me. Whenever it gets hard for me to continue on this path, I'll remember you and what you did for me.
（1）What did the author think of teaching before the teacher taught him?
A: Dull but worthwhile.
B: Boring and low-paid.
C: Honourable but dangerous.
D: Challenging and easily-attacked.
（2）How did the author find the teacher's class in Paragraph 2?
A: Disappointing.
B: Difficult.
C: Wonderful.
D: Common.
（3）Why did the teacher ask his students to write down their hobbies and interests?
A: To understand them better.
B: To involve them in more activities.
C: To treat them differently.
D: To control them in a better way.
（4）What does the author think the value of teaching lies in?
A: The care and passion that teachers have.
B: The process of students' forming a good habit.
C: The successful students whom a teacher has taught.
D: The influence on students' development in the future.
【答案】BCAD
【解答】
（1）B
细节理解题。

根据第一段大意“在你成为我的老师之前，我认为教书是我最不愿意做的事。

为什么会有人每天都来指导那些根本不在乎的学生呢？为什么会有人想要比他/她投入的工作少得多的报酬呢?”可知作者以前认为教书是件令人厌烦的事情，也是个工资很低的工作。

故选B。

（2）C 推理判断题。

根据第二段中From reference books to funny jokes, you made each class exciting. You always tried to make class charming so that we could be excited about
learning.“从参考书到有趣的笑话，你使每一节课都很精彩。

你总是努力使课堂充满魅力，这样我们就可以对学习感到兴奋。

”可知，作者认为那位老师的课堂是精彩的。

故选C。

（3）A 细节理解题。

根据第四段中You didn't only care about my learning, but you also cared about other things I was involved in. At the beginning of the year, we wrote down our hobbies
and interests.“你不仅关心我的学习，你还关心我参与的其他事情。

在年初，我们写下了我们的爱好和兴趣。

”可知，老师让学生们写下兴趣爱好是想更好了解学生，故选A。

（4）D 细节理解题。

根据最后一段中These things showed me the value of teaching. They showed me how much of an influence a teacher can have on a student.“这些事情让我看到了教学的价值。

它们让我知道老师对学生的影响有多大。

”可知作者认为教学的价值在于对学生未来的影响。

故选D。

三、七选五（本大题共计1小题，每题10分，共计10分）
第8题.
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中
有两项为多余选项。

Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking
（1）______ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring
（2）______ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it
（3）______
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years
（4）______ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risks as well.
（5）______ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we'll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. It all depends on your character.
B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
【答案】'F', 'C', 'A', 'E', 'G'
【解答】
（1）F 根据上文Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth
taking.有时，我们会认为一些不必要的危险是值得的，因为当我们权衡风险和回报时，风险似乎值得承担。

F项：然而，我们并不是都用同样的参考标
准来衡量风险和回报。

与上文weigh the risk and the reward呼应，符合语境。

（2）C 根据上文Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or
exploring.冒险者更擅长狩猎、战斗或探索。

可知，C项：在这些方面做得更好意味着更大的生存机会。

中的“those”是对这些活动的指代。

（3）A 根据上文As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate
it.结果，人类发展出了一系列今天仍然存在的角色类型。

也许你喜欢赛车，也许你讨厌它。

可知，人们形成的不同类型的性格如今仍然存在，正是不同性格类型才导致了我们对冒险行为采取不同的态度。

A项：这完全取决于你的性格。

符合语境。

（4）E 根据上文No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage
years.科学家说，无论你身处何处，在青少年时期，你承担风险的意愿都会增强。

可知，E项：这时你开始离开你的家庭，进入更大的世界。

中的when 与上文中的teenage years相对应。

（5）G 根据下文For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.对于冒险者来说，大脑中与快乐相关的部分变得活跃，而对于其他人来说，与恐惧相关的部分变得活跃。

可知本段讲的是冒险行为与大脑的关系。

G项：新的大脑研究表明，当我们面对紧张的情况时，我们的大脑的工作方式是不同的。

符合语境。
