(2019·甘肃省重点中学联考)Mary Krupa became friends with the grey squirrels during her first week at Penn State，after spotting them running around and idly(漫不经心地)wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today，everyone at the university knows her as the“Squirrel Girl”．Mary started bringing them food，and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits，she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive，and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation．
Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College，Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home，but she didn't interact(交流)with people very much. She was later diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome，but the squirrels
changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice，because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and we'll just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them，”she said. “I am a lot more outgoing. ”
And in case you're wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos，it has a lot to do with food. For example，whenever she wants them to hold or play with something，she puts peanut butter on the prop(道具)，and they'll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning，she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them，but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust，though.
This year，Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends，Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.

(2019·甘肃省重点中学联考)Every human being，no matter what he is doing，gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus(校园)of the University of Pittsburgh (commonly referred to as Pitt)set themselves the opposite problem—how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat，but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus's six buildings comfortable.
Some parts of most modern buildings—theaters and offices as well as
classrooms，are more sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air­conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing(重新分配)it is called“heat recovery”．A few modern buildings recover heat，but the campus's system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.
Along the way，Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies，the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students，and the larger a student is，the more heat he produces. We may conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard­working overweight male genius.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Pittsburgh大学的“热回收”技术。

5．The heat in the heating system of the Johnstown campus is supplied____．A．by human bodies
B．by both human bodies and other heat­giving objects
C．by both human bodies and commonly­used fuel
D．by human bodies，commonly­used fuel and other heat­giving objects
B[ 细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat，but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well”可知，这种收集系统不仅使用人体的热量，还使用像灯泡和冰箱这种物体散发出的热量。

故选B。

]
6．According to the passage，the technique of“heat recovery”is used____．A．to find the producers of heat
B．to provide heat for the hot water system
C．to make the campus more beautiful
D．to collect heat and reuse it
D[ 细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it”可知，“热回收”技术是收集热量，然后再次使用热量。

故
选D。

]
7．The underlined phrase“the hottest prospect”in Paragraph3refers to_____．A．the person who suffers most from heat
B．the person who needs more heat than others
C．the person who gives off most heat
D．the person who makes better use of heat
C[ 词义猜测题。

根据第三段内容可知，越努力学习的学生散发的热量越多，男学生比女学生散发的热量多，越高大的学生散发的热量越多，所以可得出结论，这个校园里散发最多热量的人将是个勤奋学习、体重超常的男性天才，由此可知，“the hottest prospect”指的是散发最多热量的人。

故选C。

]
8．Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?
A．A New Heat Recovery System in Pitt
B．Modern Building's Heat System
C．Body Heat and Its Producers
D．Ways of Heating Buildings
A[标题判断题。

根据全文可知，本文主要是介绍Pittsburgh大学的“热回收”系统。

Now，many years later，my childhood artwork is still there. Every time I open it，I remember that，big as the white closet seemed when I was little，my mother's 20was the biggest thing of all.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

文章讲述了作者四岁时，在父母房间里衣柜的壁板上绘画的经过，表达了妈妈对他的爱大于一切。

1．A. relevant B．special
C．fair D．regular
B[根据下一句中的“looked around for fantastic paper”对比空处所在句中的“the usual paper”可以推断作者认为自己的画纸太普通，即不够“特别”，所以选special。

relevant“有关的”，fair“公平的，适当的”，regular“有规律的，定期的”，均不符合语境。

]
2．A. color B．shape
C．quality D．price
A[句中these sticks指的是首句提到的crayons，所以空处应该是指蜡笔的颜色，所以选color。

]
3．A. ruined B．attracted
C．presented D．required
C[ 根据空前的walls和空后的view并结合选项可知，present“展现，表现”符合语境。

]
4．A. forbidden B．disappointing

A[根据yet可知，inviting(诱人的)和空处表示的意义是相对的，所以选A项。

] 5．A. broken B．decorated
C．painted D．hidden
D[ 根据语境“这一些墙壁有时人们能够看见而有时又看不见，就像妈妈和爸爸的衣柜的壁板一样”可以推断出作者心中的画板是“隐藏的”，所以选hidden。

]
6．A. Flying B．Skipping
C．Waving D．Slipping
D[ 根据上段作者心理的描述可知作者认为隐藏的画板就是父母的衣柜的壁板，所以他为了不被人们发现应该是悄悄地溜进父母的房间，所以选Slipping。

] 7．A. pictures B．clothes
C．walls D．books
B[根据生活常识可以知道衣柜里常常放置的是大量的衣服(clothes)。

] 8．A. images B．cameras
C．smiles D．acts
A[ 空前的“Words and”决定四个选项中与之词义最接近的是images(图像)，即作者脑海中充满了千言万语和即将绘制的图画。

]
9．A. opened B．cried
C．advanced D．faded
A[根据空前“一面壁板上看到一道灿烂的彩虹”可推知，此处指“花儿到处开放(opened)”。

]
10．A. dinner B．magic
C．enterprise D．garbage
B[ 由空后的“My masterpiece(杰作)”可以推断作者觉得眼前的画很神奇，是属于自己的魔术，满心欢喜，所以选magic(魔术，戏法)。

C．swelled D．puzzled
C[ 参见上题解析。

]
12．A. broke down B．came up
C．got off D．went away
B[根据本段前三句可以推断作者突然产生一种与人分享喜悦的想法，所以选came up(出现)。

break down“分解，出故障，失败”，get off“(使)动身，(从……)下来”，go away“离开”，均不符合语境。

]
13．A. ambitious B．energetic
C．pleasant D．still
D[根据空后两句可以推断作者欣喜之余突然又产生了担心，因为在父母衣柜的壁板上画画是否会引起妈妈的批评呢？所以作者突然站在那里纹丝不动，陷入了思考，所以选still“静止不动的”。

ambitious“野心勃勃的，有雄心的”；energetic“精力充沛的”；pleasant“令人愉快的”。

]
14．A. left B．escaped
C．approached D．jumped
C[根据空后“衣柜的门开了”可以判断妈妈进到房间里面来了，所以选approached“走近，靠近”。
