一、阅读理解（本题共计 5 小题，每题 5 分，共计25分）
1.
Which animals are smart? Your answer may be dogs, monkeys or elephants. Now one more animal can be added to the list: sheep.
Scientists said that sheep could be trained to identify（识别）familiar（熟悉的）human faces, the BBC reported.
Before testing, scientists let the sheep take a look at pictures of four famous people, including
former（先前的）US Preesident Barack Obama and British actress Emma Watson. Then the sheep went into a room with two computer screens and the second screen showed a random（随机的）person. The sheep usually walked toward the screen with the famous person.
After discovering the animals' ability to recognize famous people, scientists gave them a new task. They wanted to see whether the farm animals could correctly identify the same people from different directions. The animals were still able to recognize them, though they were a bit slower to recognize the pictures than before.
Finally, the researchers wanted to know if the sheep could recognize their trainers from a photo. Photos of their trainers were shown on screens with some unfamiliar faces. They weren't given any training, but the sheep could recognize their trainers.
The results show that the animals' face-recognition abilities are similar to those of monkeys and humans.
The researchers said it might be interesting in the future to find out whether sheep can recognize expressions on people's faces.

【解答】
（1）wave hands 根据第二段At the beginning of the speech, wave your hands or greet with the listeners.可知，在演讲开始时，向听众挥手致意。

故填：wave hands。

（2）They'll feel bored./Bored. 根据第四段Don't use long sentences to express your opinions. It will make the listeners feel bored.可知，不要用长句子来表达你的观点。

这会让听众感到无聊。

尊重你的听众，因为他们来自不同的地方，有着不同的文化和教育背景。

”可知，本段主要讲了要了解你的听众，所以本段的主旨句为第一句。

第一个and连接两个分句“Choose a topic that you are really good at”和“make a short and useful PPT”；第二个and连接两个形容词“short”和“useful”，这两个词共同修饰PPT，所以意为“制作一个短而有用的PPT”。

故选C。

（2）A 根据空前可知饲养员必须代替小象失去的家人，结合下文They even sleep with the baby.（他们甚至和小象一起睡。

故选A。

（3）D 根据上文On cool mornings and nights, grown-up elephants in the wild are all around a baby to keep it warm.可知在寒冷的清晨和晚上，成年的野生大象都会在小象身边为它保暖，因此空处应是关于为小象保暖的内容，D项“饲养员给小象盖被子帮助小象取暖”符合文意。

故选D。

四、语法填空（本题共计 2 小题，每题 5 分，共计10分）
8.
【答案】
（1）its,（2）taking,（3）work,（4）named,（5）drink,（6）hour,（7）friendly,（8）quickly,
（9）unhappy,（10）tired
【考点】
选词填空（篇）
【解析】
此题暂无解析
【解答】
（1）its 考查代词。

句意：金门大桥把旧金山市和郊区连接起来。

此处指旧金山的郊区，避免重复用代词代替旧金山，suburbs名词，前面用形容词性物主代词，指物用it，其形容词性物主代词为its，意为“它的”。

（2）taking 考查现在分词。

句意：每天，许多汽车穿过这座桥，载着人们往返于城市。

cross是谓语动词，take所在句是非谓语动词作伴随状语，take与主语是主动关系，所以用现在分词。

（3）work 考查不可数名词。

句意：他们中有一半人在每天早晚的繁忙工作中穿过这座桥。

work
作“工作”讲时不可数。

（4）named 考查过去分词。

此处是过去分词作定语修饰boat，指被叫做“金门”的船。

name与船是被动关系，用过去分词。

（5）drink 考查动词。

句意：晚上他们可以在那里的酒吧喝一杯。

前面有冠词a后面要跟名词单数，have a drink喝一杯，饮酒。

（6）hour
（7）friendly 考查形容词。

make后面跟形容词作宾语补足语，表示“使某人怎么样”，句意：在船上使人们对彼此更加友好。

（8）quickly 考查副词。

修饰动词go用副词形式。

（9）unhappy 考查形容词。

根据前文“这趟旅程只需要15分钟。

”及后文语境可知此处是指有些人对此不高兴，因为他们们想有足够的时间休息，如果船开的太快，他们将没有足够时间休息。

（10）tired 考查形容词。

根据前文“有些人不想要船开的太快，因为他们想有足够的时间休息。

”所以该句意为：人们不希望一天的开始是疲惫不堪的。

【考点】
选词填空（篇）
【解析】
此题暂无解析
【解答】
（1）same 考查形容词。

空处修饰其后的名词school，可以使用形容词作定语。

根据破折号后的No.
9 Middle School并结合下文描述可知，此处应是表示他们在同一所学校学习。

因此空处应为形容词same。

（2）six 考查基数词。

根据下文They study Chinese, English,（3）________, history, PE and art.可知，此处应是表示：他们需要学习六门科目。

因此空处应填入基数词six作定语。

（3）math 考查名词。

根据前面的Chinese, English及后面的history, PE and art可知，此处应为某一科目。

结合方框内所给单词可知，此处应为不可数名词math。

（4）lunch 考查名词。

根据The food is very tasty（好吃的）.并结合方框内所给单词可知，此处应是指他们在学校吃午餐。

have lunch吃午餐，固定搭配。

（5）busy 考查形容词。

根据下文No, they are free（空闲的）.可推知，此处应是表示：放学后他们忙吗？因此空处应填入形容词busy作表语。

（6）all 考查不定代词。

根据下文的描述可知，此处应是表示：这三个男孩都喜欢运动。

因此此处
应用不定代词all。

（7）play 考查动词。

分析可知，空处为句子谓语动词。

全文时态为一般现在时，此处时态也应为一般现在时。

根据上文可知，那三个男孩都喜欢运动。

结合空后的ball games可知，此处应是表示：他们经常玩球类运动。

主语They为复数，所以谓语动词用原形play。

（8）be 考查连系动词。

固定搭配：want to do sth.想要做某事。

因此空处应为动词原形。

结合语境可推知，此处应是表示：他想成为一名体育明星。

因此空处应为连系动词be。

（9）after 考查介词。

结合语境及方框内所给单词提示可知，此处应是表示：晚上，他们吃完晚饭后做作业。

after dinner意为“晚饭后”。

因此空处应填入介词after。

（10）watch 考查动词。

分析可知，空处为句子谓语动词。

结合空后的TV可知，此处应为固定搭配：watch TV看电视。

全文时态为一般现在时，此处时态也应为一般现在时。

主语they为复数，所以谓语动词用原形watch。
