M:Good morning, Mrs Green. You want to see me?
W:Yes, Jim. Let's review what you've done so far. You were hired as a mail clerk about five years ago. You've learned a lot since then, haven't you?
M:Sure. I learned more about the company because I went around to different offices. Then I was promoted to mail distribution clerk. That's two grades higher than the mail clerk. I went from Grade 1 to Grade 3.
W:Did you like that job?
M:Yeah, my pay went up, and every year I moved up to a step. And I got a pay raise too. I'm a Grade 5 now.
W:Well, Jim, here is another chance to move up to the ladder. The mail department is getting some new computers. We will give everybody two days of training. The people who learn quickly can go to school for more training.
M:You mean going to school on company time?
W:Yes, because it will help you in your work later. You can be promoted to Grade 7. M:Well, I'd like to think about it for a few days. Maybe I should stay where I am now. 14.【答案】:B 15.【答案】:B 16.【答案】:A 17.【答案】:C

The 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s(阿尔楚海默症). He was losing his memory.
A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family. Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family.
Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep catch night when she was young. She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father.
Naomi, Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help.
“Why do this?” Steve wondered. “Because she cares.” Melissa said. Steve nodded, tears in eye.
Naomi drove to the Goodwin home. She told Steve she’d love to hear him play. Steve
5 / 17
moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys.
Naomi put a small recorder near the piano, Starts and stops and mistakes. Long pauses, heart sinking. But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger.
“It was beautiful.\" Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.”
Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was still in Steve Goodwin. It was bidden in rooms with doors about to be locked.
Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together. He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and then she’d take his place. He struggled to explain what he heard in his head. He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else.
Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key. Steve heard it. All of it. He just couldn’t play it.
Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve. It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song. One day, Naomi received an email. Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight. Steve called it “Melancholy Flower”.
Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him “honey” and encouraged him. The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting. Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece.
Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal songs. With Naomi’s help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve’s songs. Joni thought that would be the end. But it wasn’t.
In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind: “Melancholy Flower”
She told the director about her project with Steve. The director agreed to add it to the playing list. But Naomi would have to ask Steve’s permission. He considered it an honor.
6 / 17
After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and professional. It needed to be shared in public.
The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert. By the day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend.
By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends. He knew the path his life was now taking. He told his family he was at peace.
Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family. The house lights faded. Naomi took the stage. Her fingers. His heart. 1. Why did Melissa want to save her father’s music? A. His music could stop his disease from worsening. B. She wanted to please her dying old father. C. His music deserved to be preserved in the family. D. She wanted to make her father a professional. 2

Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.
Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that
9 / 17
the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it.
\"This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, \"Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”
【答案】7—10 CBAD
7. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them? A. They fed them. C. They trained them.
B. They named them. D. They measured them.
8. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment? A. By drawing a circle. C. By watching videos.
B. By touching a screen. D. By mixing two drinks.
9. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys? A. They could perform basic addition. C. They could memorize numbers easily. long.
10. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Entertainment.
B. Health.
C. Education.
D. Science.
B. They could understand simple words. D. They could hold their attention for
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。研究发现:猴子可以进行基本的加法运算。文章对研究的经过和结论做了介绍和分析。
7.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys…The researches then tested how…”可知,在对这些猴子进行测试之前,研究者们对它们进行了培训。故C选项正确。
8.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In their cages the monkeys were provided with
10 / 17
touch screen…If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen, they would be rewarded with seven drops…; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with…”可知,当猴子触摸屏幕左边时,它们会得到7滴水或者果汁的奖励;当它们触摸屏幕的另一端(即画着圆圈的部分)时,它们会得到17滴水或果汁的奖励。由此可知,猴子是通过触摸屏幕得到奖励的。B选项正确。
9.A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“The monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination”和第五段中的“When adding two numbers…”可知,猴子会在超过一半的时间内选择更高的值,这意味着它们在进行计算,而不仅仅是记住每一个组合的值。由此可知,A选项正确:猴子能够进行基本的加法计算。由此亦可以排除C选项。
10.D 【解析】推理判断题。通读整篇文章可知,该文介绍的是哈佛医学院的科学家Margaret Livingstone领导的一个研究团队对猴子进行实验得出的研究结果。这属于“科学研究”范畴,故该文应出现在报纸的“科学”板块。故D选项正确。
C
When a leafy plant is under attack,it doesn't sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighbouring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It's a plant's way of crying out. But is anyone listening?Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching
11 / 17
now becomes lunch.
In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbours. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors,relatively speaking,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don't know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn't a true, intentional back and forth.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate (亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There's a whole lot going on.
【答案】11-14 DABC
11.What does a plant do when it is under attack?
A.It makes noises. B.It gets help from other plants. C.It stands quietly. D.It sends out certain chemicals. 12.What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in Paragraph 3?
A.The attackers get attacked. B.The insects gather under the table.
C.The plants get ready to fight back. D.The perfumes attract natural enemies.
13.Scientists find from their studies that plants can ________.
A.predict natural disasters B.protect themselves against insects C.talk to one another intentionally D.help their neighbours when necessary 14.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The world is changing faster than ever. B.People have stronger senses than before.
C.The world is more complex than it seems. D.People in Darwin's time were more

本文是一篇有关植被自我保护的研究报告。文章通过两位科学家的研究发现植被也有奇特的自我保护和协作抗击昆虫的方式。
【解析】11. D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“…send out a particular smell…”可知是发出某种气味。
【解析】12. A 词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch(进食者却成了别人的午餐).”可知进攻者变成了被进攻者。由此推断“the tables are turned”意思是“局面反转”。
【解析】13.B推理判断题。根据文章可知,当昆虫叮咬叶子时,叶子会发出特殊的气味,驱赶昆虫,同时提醒附近的植被提防。由此科学家得出结论,植被有自我抵御昆虫并警示其他植被预防昆虫的能力。尽管科学家猜测植被间可能有谈话,但并未得到科学实证,因此排除C。D选项的 when necessary与选文中的overhear(偶然听见)意思不符。
【解析】14. C 推理判断题。150年前的达尔文猜测(imagine)自然界比我们表面上认识的世界要喧闹得多,由该段倒数第二句“Our senses are weak.”得出结论:人们对自然界的认识感知是肤浅的。另外该文通过描述叶子自我保护的过程让我们更深入地了解了自然界的复杂性,世界其实比我们知道的要复杂得多。 III.完形填空。(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
