How can horses find their way back from a strange environment? For most people, that would be impossible without a map. Horses have a special system in their brains, and it works just 【1】 GPS. It shows signs for trees and other objects in their home areas. It also takes notes of new things in new areas. 【2】 horses keep their attention on those signs, they know which directions 【3】 (go). Who needs a self-driving car when you can have a horse? You’ll always get home safe and sound.

【答案】

【1】like

【2】When

【3】to go

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了马如何可以从陌生的环境中找到回去的路。

【1】考查介词。句意：马脑中有一个特殊的系统，它的工作原理像GPS一样。此处表示“将马脑中的系统比喻成GPS”。故填like。

【2】考查时间状语从句。句意：当马将注意力放在这些标志上时，它们知道该往哪个方向走。分析句子结构可知，逗号前面应为从句。结合上下文语境和语义可知，该从句为时间状语从句，因此使用从属连词when。故填when。

【3】考查动词不定式。句意：当马将注意力放在这些标志上时，它们知道该往哪个方向走。该句子中的“特殊疑问词which+动词不定式”作动词know的宾语。该结构可以改写成由该疑问词引导的从句，即宾语从句：When horses keep their attention on those signs, they know which directions they should go.故填to go。

The metaphor (比喻) first 【3】 (use) by Zhi Daolin, a Buddhist master of the Jin Dynasty, reflects the nature of the game.

Master Go players often feel as if they were playing a real-life game: sometimes one can move forward, while at other times, one must slow down: sometimes one can 【6】 (direct) face the challenger, at other times one must take an indirect approach. Appropriate placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to 【7】 one might solve a difficult problem of life. The purpose of 【8】 (play) Go is not just to win but also, more importantly, to seek 【9】 (wise) through the process. The players unite with each other on the board.

Wild elephants that destroy crops and damage trees 【1】(be) a serious problem in many parts of Africa. But there could be a simple and 【2】(relative) safe way to stop them in their tracks, by 【3】(employ) the talents of the tiny African honeybees.

The number of elephants in Kenya 【4】(rise) over the past ten years, with some disastrous results. Not only do these huge animals attack local farms 【5】 they step someone to death an average of once every two weeks. Now a biologist has discovered a possible threat: the elephants are extremely aware 【6】 trees that house honeybee hives.

'I am 【7】(puzzle) why nobody has thought of this before, 'says Fritz Vollrath at the University of Oxford. 'When an elephant knocks a beehive he runs and the bees will follow him for miles. ' He says that placing hives of the honeybees around local farms could be 【8】 effective way to threaten the animals. Vollrath put 30 unoccupied and 6 occupied 【9】(beehive) in some of the trees growing on a bush frequently damaged by elephants. On average the elephants attacked 9 out of 10 trees that didn’t have hives. But 【10】(them) avoided all six trees with occupied hives. The elephants also left along one–third of the trees with empty hives, suggesting that some had learnt not to take the risk.

【题目】Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York--he in computers, she in special education. "Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.

Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee.“I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder."

Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.

The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda.

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

There are three children in Bryant’s family. Kobe Bryant is the 【1】 (young) child and only son of Joe and Pam Bryant. His parents named him 【2】 a kind of steak: the famous beef of Kobe, Japan, which they saw on a restaurant menu. At 【3】 age of six, Kobe, his parents and two older sisters moved to Italy, 【4】 his father began playing professional basketball.

Bryant once said that if he 【6】(stay)in Italy, he would have 【7】(stick)with soccer and would have tried to become a professional soccer player. In 1991, the Bryants moved back to the United States. In the Philadelphia suburb of lower Merion high school, a spectacular high school career brought national 【8】(recognize). Although his SAT score of 1080 guaranteed him various basketball scholarships from top universities, the 17-year-old made a controversial 【9】 (decide)to enter the NBA 【10】 (direct).

【题目】 Since 1970, North America has lost more than 2.9 billion birds, according to a study recently published in the journal Science. In less than half a century, the bird population has declined by some 29 percent, or more than 1 in 4 birds. For the first time, researchers have discovered that rare species aren't the only birds suffering population loss. In fact, common birds-including beloved backyard friends like sparrows and blackbirds-are taking the biggest hit.

The new study used nearly 50 years of data collected largely by bird watchers and citizen scientists. "A total of 419 native migratory species experienced a net loss of 2.5 billion individuals," the study says. More than 90 percent of the total loss can be found among just 12 bird families. Some of these widespread birds can thrive almost anywhere. The large-scale loss of these hardy birds reveals they're struggling to survive throughout the world/

Birds are considered indicator species because they're crucial to ecosystems, and their populations anticipate the environment's health. Birds are "amazingly efficient" at spreading seeds. Birds also keep insect populations in check. Even the smallest bird helps control the spread of plants or insects.

The new study, however, identifies the losses without knowing all the causes. Scientists do identify habitat loss as the biggest challenge. Climate change, disrupted migration patterns and pesticide use are also major factors. Industrial agriculture may present a bigger challenge. The species disappearing most rapidly—sparrows, blackbirds and larks—are associated with agriculture. In recent decades, agriculture has grown to produce more food, but cleared landscapes have become unlivable for birds.

“We need to change the way we grow food. Birds are signaling that we are doing it wrong, "as the study says. The study offers the example of the 1990s effort to switch to no-till farming, which reduced greenhouse gases and soil erosion（侵蚀）. “Farmers are innovators. And they've done it before. This is a great opportunity to have a huge impact on birds."

【1】What's the study mainly about？

A.The climate issues.B.The disappearing birds.

C.The agricultural problems.D.The environmental protection.

【2】How is the second paragraph mainly developed？

A.By listing figures.B.By giving examples

C.By analyzing reasons.D.By making comparisons.

【3】What's the main reason behind the birds' habitat loss？

A.Climate change.B.Greenhouse gases.

C.Industrial agriculture.D.Disrupted migration patterns.

【4】What does the study suggest as a solution？

A.Producing more food.B.Clearing more landscapes.

C.Reducing the use of pesticide.D.Adopting new means of farming.

【题目】 When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming many things. Sometimes, I wished I was an astronaut going up into space, finding new planets and jumping around in a cool space suit. Other times, I imagined being a cowboy in the Wild West, wearing stylish cowboy boots. On other occasions, I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals for my team.

Looking back, I realize that imagination is a wonderful thing. I was able to create entire environments and scenarios in my head, using nothing more than my brain, and to be able to adapt things in my everyday surroundings to fit the specific story of the day. Growing up with siblings (兄弟姐妹) also helped, as it meant that even bigger stories could be created, combining our ideas and putting our thoughts into action. It also allowed for more varieties in the stories, as sometimes I could be the hero while on other occasions, I would be the bad guy.

One of my all-time favorite memories as a kid was playing in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones, which cleaned up at the cinema at that time, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as a bad person. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacles that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours!

My personal favorite game was Indiana Jones and the Stolen Easter Eggs, where my brother hid small chocolate eggs around the garden and my sister and I had to find them by answering questions or solving a puzzle. It was difficult, but eventually we found all the eggs and shared them together.

Since then, I have seen many great things and met many amazing people. The elements of fun and varieties of my creative imaginations are what I try to bring into every part of my positive life. So I can enjoy sharing with and hearing about other people’s stories, too.
