Just like children, they use a “ look and learn” ways when they go about their tasks.Scientists at Oxford universities designed an experiment to test if the dogs have the ability to copy humans’ actions by using a simple wooden box. 10 owners showed their dogs how to open the woodenbox .Sometimes they use their heads to push it and sometimes they use their hands.10 dogs were divided into two groups---Group1 and Group2. In the first part of the test, Group1 were rewarded with a piece of mea t for copying their owner’s actions. Group2 were rewarded with food for not copying and using other ways. With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds of times. Scientists recorded the time to see which group was first to get 85% right. They found that Group1finished the task much sooner than Group2.In the second part of the test, all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the way that their owners used. Group1 reached the 85% mark more quickly than Group2.So the scientists draw a conclusion: “Like humans, dogs can copy actions that they see. Dogs’ imitative（仿效的）behavior is shaped more by their interactions（互动）with humans than by evolution(进化).”Scientists said，“A dog’s behavior is influenced much like that of a child; they look and learn similar behavior. We hope that owners understand the importance of their actions and use this knowledge to set good examples and therefore have a good effect on the behavior of their pets.”1．The scientists believe dog’s imitative behavior mainly comes from______________.A．proper rewards B．domesticationC．human-dog interactions D．evolution2．The best title may be “___________________”A．Dogs can finish their tasks quickly. B．Dogs are interesting animals.C．Masters always set good examples. D．Dogs behave like their masters.3．From the experiment, we know __________________.A．It took the two groups of dogs the same time to finish the required task.B．The dogs that copied their masters finished the required task much sooner.C．The dogs that were encouraged to copy their masters finished the task more slowly..D．The dogs that were encouraged not to copy their masters finished the task more quickly..4．According to the last paragraph, we can infer ______________.A．a cruel man can raise a cruel dogB．dogs can be influenced by anyoneC．dogs always behave positivelyD．dogs are the best kind of petsB14、Different Ideas about Mobile Phones1．______ has the very old phone.A．Laura B．JudyC．Sara D．Mary2．What does Laura do?A．teacher B．writerC．manager D．doctor3．For Judy, it would be great to ______.A．take face to faceB．look up where she isC．talk with people around herD．have the internet everywhere.C15、Wou ld you completely trust your friends if you couldn’t see anything? If you are falling, do you believe they will catch you and help you stand up? Our teacher helped us to find the answer.Our teacher is named Morrie. One day, he said that he had a game for us to try. He divided us into two groups. One of the students from the first group, stands in front of us with his eyes closed, and then falls backwards(向后). The second group stand behind him. Before he falls on the floor, they should catch him and not let him get hurt. Most of us were uncomfortable with this. We were afraid that they wouldn’t catch us and we would hit the floor. So we d idn’t move. We just stood there and laughed in embarrassment(尴尬). Finally, one student, thin, quiet, dark-haired girl called Sarah, decided to move. She crossed her arms in front of her body, closed her eyes, and slowly fell backwards. She looked quiet but brave.For a moment, I was sure she was going to fall on the floor. But before she hit the floor, the other students caught her, held her and finally helped her stand up.“Whoa!!” we were all surprised, and also encouraged. The girl was happy, too. Seeing this, Morrie smiled and said to the girl, “When you close your eyes, you can’t see anything. You won’t feel safe. When you are falling, the feeling gets stronger. You are not sure whether you will hit the cold, hard floor or the warm, soft hands of your f riends. But if you are brave enough to trust them, they won’t let you down.”1．According to the passage, we can know Morrie is ___________.A．a student B．a teacher C．a manager D．a farmer2．The writer thought the girl was ___________.A．strong but shy B．active C．quiet but brave D．careless3．In the end, the girl ___________.A．got hurtB．fell on the floorC．was only helped by the writerD．was caught by the other students4．The students felt encouraged because ___________.A．they could stop the game finallyB．they wanted to do something elseC．they thought they had won the gameD．they felt that they could trust each otherD16、Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn (打哈欠) and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well，obviously it’s because we have mirrorneurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply，the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something，our brains model after it，whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile，talk，walk，dance or play sports. But the idea goes further：mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example：“The hand took hold of the ball”)，the same mirror neurons weretriggeredas when the action was actually performed (in this example，actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (行使职责). However，it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders. Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave，communicate and spend time together. Indeed，it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein’s theory of relativity (相对论) was for physics. And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does – well，perhaps you’ll understand why. 1．Mirror neurons can explain ______.A．why we cry when we are hurtB．why we cough when we catch a coldC．why we smile when we see someone else smileD．why we yawn when we see someone else get up late2．The word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.A．set off B．cut offC．broken out D．found out3．We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _______.A．relate to human behavior and communicationB．decide our knowledge and language abilitiesC．result in bad behavior and social disordersD．control human actions and appearances4．What is the passage mainly about?A．Ways to find mirror neurons.B．Problems of mirror neurons.C．Discovery of mirror neurons.D．Functions of mirror neurons.E17、Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Italy. He is best known as an artist today. One of his famous paintings is called Mona Lisa. However, Leonardo had many other natural abilities. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important in modern day life. Although Leonardo hated war, he invented many different machines used for wars. His most special invention was the machine gun, which was produced and used in war many years later.By watching the way birds fly, Leonardo tried to find out the secret of flying. Among his sketches(素描) we can see several objects. We consider them as modern flying machines. Leonardo spent many hours thinking about how to make good use of time. He developed ideas for labor-saving machines like cutting machines. Leonardo was a strange man. He didn't eat any meat, which was unusual in those times. He never published his ideas and scientific discoveries. He usually used mirror writing, which looks like writing in a mirror, starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left.We have very little of his work today. Leonardo finished only a few of his paintings. He left many unfinished because he thought they were not perfect. No one in his life time knew how great Leonardo was. We now believe, however, that he was one of the cleverest men the world has ever known.1．According to the passage, Leonardo was not only an artist but also .A．a musician B．an inventorC．a writer D．an engineer2．What was Leonardo's most special invention.A．The mirror writing B．The cutting machineC．The machine gun D．The flying machine3．Which of the following statements is true about Leonardo?A．He usually wrote in a mirror. B．He didn't eat any meat.C．He liked to publish his discoveries. D．He enjoyed drawing flying machines.4．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To let us know more about Leonardo. B．To introduce Leonardo's great inventionsC．To discuss Leonardo's famous paintings. D．To introduce a great artist to us.F18、We provide summer English courses which are the best you can find.

People enjoy themselves after hard work by watching TV. They can see some plays, some stories and sports matches without going out of home, and without spending much money in buying tickets. TV programmes make people’s lives more interesting.People learn much from TV ; students can study by watching some educational programmes. People can see news, weather reports, programmes abut science and computers.But not all the programmes are good enough. Today, there are too many programmes about love and crime. Some people become bad because they learn from the bad people in those programmes. And watching TV usually takes too much time. It’s not good for people’s work and study. It’s not good for their eyes, either.Is watching TV a good thing or a bad one? I think it depends on people themselves. If one can choose good programmes and he doesn’t spend too much time on TV, it can be a good thing.26.If we don’t go out of home, how can we see some football matches according to the article?A.By listening to the radio.B.By buying some tickets.C.By watching TV.D.By being a fan.27.What can we see on TV?A.Some plays and stories.B.Some educational programmes.C.News and weather reports.D.All of the above.28.Why do some people become bad after watching some programmes?A.Because they watch TV for a long time every day.B.Because they learn from the bad people on TV.C.Because it isn’t good for their eyes.D.Because they don’t get enough sleep.29.What does the underlined word “crime” mean?A.奋⽃B.教育C.犯罪D.科学30.Is watching TV a good thing?A.Yes, it is.B.No, it isn’t.C.It depends on people themselves.D. We shouldn’t watch TV.BWhen people usually think of a “fat-burning”, they’ll depend on the pills. However, science has shown that the most popular way of losing weight is music.The fact that we’re influenced by music should come as no surprise. Those who exercise to music have long realized the exciting power of an adrenaline-boosting(促进肾上腺素的) song. But recent studies show that music does more than just helping us loose weight. It may actually change the body’s physiology(⽣理机能).To test the influence of music, the researchers asked 24 college students and had them each cycle in five test parts that included exercising to no music, slow music, fast music, slow-to-fast music, and finally fast-to-slow music.In all the test parts, the students started to cycle at 50 watts and then the workload(⼯作量) was increased in increments of 25 watts every minute until self-declared exhaustion(⾃称疲惫).According to Dr. Szabo, results showed that those who exercised with “faster-paced” music could make it to the end. The slow-to-fast music part worked better than the other parts. It clearly showed that powerful faster music can have on the increasing exercise workload.Of course, consistency(⼀致性) is the key to achieving greater fat-loss results with music. If done consistently over a period of weeks, listening to powerful faster music during your workouts could very well be associated with increased cardiovascular conditioning(⼼⾎管调节), and greater fat-loss as well.31.According to the new study, can help people lose weight.A.pillsB.musicC.sleepD.the body’s physiology32.In the test, some students had each cycle in test parts of music.A.2B.5C.24D.2533.is the second best way of increasing the exercise workload.A.Fast-to-slowB.Slow musicC.Slow-to-fast musicD.Fast music34.The key to achieving greater fat-loss results with music is .A.consistencyB.timeC.confidenceD.cardiovascular conditioning35.What’s the best title for the passage?A.How to lose weightB.The influence of musicC.The key to lose weightD.Music and losing weightCKites have a long history. They may date back(追溯到) long time ago. They were made of bamboo and silk in China. Nobody knows exactly how or when a kite was first flown, but it is said that when a Chinese farmer tied a string(绳⼦) to his hat to keep it from blowing away in a strong wind, the first kite was born.Children like flying with kites. Kites are made of wood, bamboo, paper, or silk. In 478 B.C., a Chinese philosopher,Mo Zi, spent three years making a kite out of light wood and bamboo. The earliest record of kite flying wasin about 200 B.C. when the Chinese General Han Xin of Han Dyn asty flew a kite over the walls of a city. He wanted to know how far his army would have to travel.In the 13th century, Marco Polo wrote about how the shipping businessmen flew the huge kite in the wind before the ship set sail. They predicted the voyage(航海) in this way. If the kite went high and straight, it meant a quick and successful voyage, but if it did not fly well, it was a bad omen(预兆). In the late 1500s, the kite was introduced to Europe by the Italians. Kite flying was first mentioned in England in a popular book in 1589.36.How was the first kite born?A. It was first used for sailing.B. A Chinese general called Han Xin flew a kite to train his army.C.A Chinese farmer tied a string to his hat to keep it from blowing away37.According to the article,Kites are made of the following materials EXCEPT .A. silkB. paperC. steel38.Which of the following is TRUE?A.We know exactly how and when a kite was first flown.B.Kite flying was first written in England in a popular book in 1589.C. In 478 B.C., Mozi spent three years making a kite out of light wood and paper.39.When was the kite introduced to Europe?A. In the 13th century.B.In the late 1500s.C.In 1589.40.Which is the best title of the passage?A.The history of kites.B.Materials of kites.C.When to make the first kite.第II卷（主观题共45分）Ⅴ.词汇运⽤（10）（⼀）根据句意及所给的汉语提⽰填写单词。

parts of computers to China．Such a thing can be found every day although it is against international laws．Last month Hong Kong officers found 131，000kilograms of broken computers，TVs and phones sent from Japan．Things like these are called electronic waste，or e﹣waste．Dealing with them is not an easy job because dangerous poisons like mercury （汞）and lead （铅）can be found in them．Every time an old computer breaks down，it needs to be dealt with safely．But at present，broken computer parts are usually buried．It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth．Many places in China are polluted by e﹣waste．Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them．This town is named as"the e﹣waste capital of the world"．It has to deal with 1.5million kilograms of e﹣waste each year，from which it makes 75million yuan．But it comes at a cost．Many of the poisons in e﹣waste find their way into the environment．Plastic is burned outdoors and chemical water is poured into rivers．Greenpeace，an environmental group，has found the air，the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted．The Chinese government wants the country to develop，but in a way that doesn't do harm to the environment and people's life．This year，China presents a new environmental protection law，the strictest one we have ever had．Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers．This is because the companies that make computers know best how to deal with them safely．Hopefully，the problem with e﹣waste will be solved in the near future．34．The town of Guiyu in Guangdong Province．A．is

organized．Each of her objects had its place，but mine always hid somewhere．She even labeled（贴标签）everything．I always looked for everything．Over time，Kate got neater and I got messier．She would push my dirty clothes over，and I would put my books on her tidy desk．We both got tired of each other．War broke out one evening．Kate came into the room．Soon，I heard her screaming，"Take your shoes away!Why under my bed!"I saw my shoes flying at me．I jumped to my feet and started shouting．She shouted back louder．The room was filled with anger．We could not stay together for even a minute but for a phone call．Kate answered it．From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill．When she hung up，she quickly got out of her covers with tears running down her face．Clearly，that was something she should not put up with alone．All of a sudden，a warm feeling of sympathy（同情）rose up in my heart．Slowly，I collected the pencils，took back the books，made my bed，cleaned the socks and swept the floor，even on her side．I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up．She was watching in surprise，her tears dried．Then she reached out her hands to take mine．I looked up into her eyes．She smiled at me，"Thanks．" Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year．We didn't always agree，but we learned the key to living together：giving in，cleaning up and holding on．38．What made Kate so angry one evening？A．She couldn't find her books．B．She heard the writer shouting aloud．C．She got the news that her grandma was ill．D．She saw the writer's shoes under her bed．39．The writer tidied up the room probably because．A．She was frightened by Kate's anger．B．She hated herself for being so messy．C．She wanted to show her care．D．she was asked by Kate to do so40．Which is right according to the passage？A．I I got on well with Kate before the war broke out．B．Kate and I was in the same class．C．Kate's grandma got well again soon．D．I really felt

Ultron（复联奥创纪元），a computer which is designed to bring peace to the world decides that the simplest way to achieve peace is to kill all humans﹣no people，no war．Yet the computer，Ultron，finally failed，but the film is making people nervous about what the future will be like when machines become programmed with artificial intelligence （人工智能）．Artificial intelligence is the ability of computers to do things that require thought．Right now computers don't really think，they just process a lot of information very quickly．But scientists are developing new computers that will actlike the human brain．They will be able to think and create，and not just follow the instructions of a human programmer．Gray Scott，an American scientist who spends his time thinking about the future，is hopeful about the future of artificial intelligence and says it will be helpful to humans．It will do most of our jobs and allow people to enjoy life．However，Elon Musk，the inventor of the Tesla electric car，says these machines with artificial intelligence are"probably more dangerous than anything else"and once they begin thinking for themselves they will be out of human control．It's a bit frightening to think that some day，instead of machines working for us，we will be working for them；or，even worse，not working at all．By 2018，it's said that 50percent of American jobs will be done by computers．People with little knowledge and few skills had got most of these jobs．However，with artificially intelligent machines，even highly educated and highly skilled workers may be out of work．Engineers，doctors，and even scientists may find themselves jobless．In 19th century England，there was a group called the Luddites．They were textile（纺织的）workers whose jobs had been replaced by machines．They destroyed the machines in hopes of getting their jobs back．It didn't work．Technology moved forward，as it always does，and people had to adapt （适应）．Perhaps one day we will have to use our"real'intelligence to make sure a machine's‘artificial'intelligence doesn't lose control and cause more harm than good．42．What is artificial intelligence？A．A kind of new computer．B．A group of smart people．C．The ability of computers to do things that need thought．D．The ability of humans to do things that require thought．43．The workers destroyed the machines in 19th century England because．A．they were paid littleB．they hoped to get more moneyC．machines broke down from time to timeD．machines took away their jobs44．What can we know from the passage？A．People all believe that artificial intelligence is harmless to the world．B．Elon Musk warned the public of the possible danger that artificial intelligence might bring．C．Gray Scott doesn't think artificial intelligence is helpful to humans．D．Nobody with knowledge and skills will be out of jobs in the future．45．What's the main idea of the passage？A．Computers can think like people．B．Machines with artificial intelligence will control the world．C．People will control the machines with artificial intelligence．D．Artificial intelligence makes people nervous．四、词汇（本题共7小题；每小题1分，满分15分）请根据括号中的中文提示，英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺．46．Something is wrong with the（模型）plane．Can you fix it for

beautiful【考点】感叹句．【分析】﹣﹣多么美丽的阳光啊！我们去公园散步好吗？﹣﹣好主意！【解答】答案：B．根据﹣﹣sunshine!可知这里考查了感叹句，本句的中心词是sunshine，它是一个不可数名词，beautiful 是一个形容词，在这里修饰sunshine，根据What+形容词+可数名词复数/不可数名词+主语+谓语!这里应该用what 引导，故选B．3．Audrey once

D．or【考点】并列连词．【分析】听听那个故事，你会发现并不是所有东西都能用金钱买到．【解答】答案：A；根据语境以及上下文，本题考查的是连词的用法．根据设空处前后句的句意"听听那个故事"和"你会发现并不是所有东西都能用金钱买到．"，可知前后句之间是顺接关系，所以用连词and；构成句式：祈使句+and+主句，相当于if条件状语从句．故选A．5．﹣What can we do for the

dishes是动作wash的承受者，表示"被洗"所以用被动语态，一般现在时被动语态的构成是：主语+am/is/are+动词的过去分词，主语是复数名词，be动词用are，wash的过去分词是washed，故选B．7．We Chat is widely used all over the country．____ the young ____ the old are interested in

operators to provide ______ Internet．（）A．very cheaper and quicker B．more cheaper and quickerC．many cheaper and quicker D．much cheaper and quicker【考点】形容词的比较级和最高级．【分析】因特网花费了人们的很多钱并且网速太慢了，这就是李克强总理要求运营商提供更便宜和更快的互联网的原因．【解答】答案：D；A．very cheaper and quicker"very"只能修饰形容词和副词的原级，B．more不能修饰比较级，只能构成比较级：如more intereting，C．many不能修饰比较级，它可修饰名词复数：如many

man livesC．how could I use the iPadD．how I could do with the iPad【考点】宾语从句．【分析】﹣﹣你能告诉我这位老人住在哪里吗？﹣﹣当然可以．【解答】答案：B．根据Could you tell me？再结合选项，可知Could you tell me 后面是跟一个宾语从句，宾语从句中应该用陈述语序，即主语+谓语，所以排除AC．在这里，句子叙述的是一件事实，时态应该用一般现在时，选项D是一般过去时，故排除D．故选B．13．﹣Is his headache getting better？﹣No．And _________．The doctor gave him the wrong medicine this time．（）A．every dog

buy it．Later，more and more chocolate bars were producedand sold，it became cheaper．However，at first only plain chocolate〔a kind of chocolate without milk and with very little sugar〕was produced．Milk chocolate came later and this Was made by adding milk to the chocolate．The first milk chocolate bar was made in Cadbury's factory in l897．Their most famous chocolate，Cadbury's Milk Bar，was made in l905．It has been the most popular chocolate in Britain and around the world for over l00 years．The Cadbury factory is still in Britain and the chocolate produced there is eaten all over the
