21．（6分） A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs.Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿) connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern "A-B-B". Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the "A-B-B" pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. "Position is key to language," she says. "If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: 'John caught the bear.' is very different from 'The bear caught John.'”Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones－no matter how educational－doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who’d watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies—regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio—learned nothing.1、What makes connections in a baby’s brain?A．Having a higher IQ. B．Experiencing new informationC．The baby’ early age D．The connection with other babies2、What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?A．Babies identify different sound patterns.B．Word order is relevant to meaning.C．Babies can well understand different words.D．A certain brain region processes language.3、What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A．Grammar is important in learning languages.B．Different orders have different meanings.C．Different languages have different grammar.D．Words have different sounds.4、What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?A．Babies shouldn’t watch a lot of television.B．Listening to different languages develops babies’ brainC．Foreign languages help babies’ brain developD．Social communication improves babies’ brain development.22．（8分）If you’ve ever noticed uneasiness in your puppy around an unwelco me houseguest，you might be onto something．A new study found that dogs can really sense bad behavior in humans，and are less likely to accept treats from those people．For the study，which was published in the January edition of Neuroscience & biobehavioral Reviews，researchers set up a scene in which a dog watched his owner try to open a container while two actors were on set．In a series of three tries one of the actors would help the owner open the container，respond neutrally(中立地)，or refuse to help open the container．The other actor responded passively in all three tries．At each end of the try，both actors would offer the dog a treat at the same time．In the tries where the working actor had responded either helpfully or neutrally，the dog was equally likely to accept a treat from either of the two actors．In the third try where he had responded rudely，the dog was more likely to choose the passive actor．James Anderson，a psychologist who worked on the study at Kyoto University，told the New Scientist that the dogs most likely have a similar ability to notice bad behavior in humans as human babies do．“If somebody is behaving badly，they probably end up with some sort of emotional reaction to it,”he says．Babies have been shown to begin to make these types of connections around age one．So while you can’t ask your dog’s opinion every time you’re facing a difficult situation，you can consider his judgment of your new friends when thinking about whether they are kind or not．Of course，we’11 suggest doing so according to the situation and your own consideration，but it wouldn’t hurt to take note!1、What does the new study mainly show?A．Dogs can read humans’thoughts．B．Dogs are unwilling to accept treats from peopleC．Dogs can sense unfriendliness of humans．D．Dogs feel uneasy around strange people．2、In the third try，why was the dog more likely to choose the passive actor?A．The dog wanted to please him．B．His treats appeared more attractive．C．His action stayed the same during three tries．D．The dog considered the other actor rude．3、What does the underlined word”they”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Humans．B．Dogs．C．Babies．D．Psychologies．23．（8分）For the longest time,Amber Austwick was unable to speak.In fact,it took a donkey to inspire her first words. Amber,a 6-year-old girl in Birmingham,England,was born prematurely,along with her twin sister,Hope,in June 2010.Both babies suffered severe bleeding in their lungs,but Hope got stronger while Amber needed a life-saving tracheotomy（气管切开术）that restricted air to vocal cords（声带）.As a result,she was able to breathe,but unable to speak.But that changed three years ago,when Amber's mom,Tracy Austwick,took her to an animal shelter.It was there that Amber met Shocks,a donkey that had been rescued from abuse.“It was quite scary really,”Tracy Austwick said.“Shocks was in the stadium and the riding instructor took little Amber to him and I found it scary for me because Shocks was so much bigger than her.”“But Amber wasn't scared and Shocks was really excited to meet her and they've kept tha t bond ever since.”The bond is so strong that when Amber was ready to say her first words,she said them to Shocks:“I love you.”Amber's mother was shocked that her daughter spoke to Shocks.“It was such an emotional moment.I couldn't believe my daughter had finally found her voice,”she said.“Once she met Shocks he brought her out of her shell, she's a lot more confident with him and with friends at school who she loves to talk to about him and the donkey shelter.”Although Shocks still lives at the shelter,h e's part of the Austwick family.“Amber will always visit Shocks and she still sees him whenever she can,”Tracy said.1、What do the twin sisters have in common?A．They were born deaf and dumb.B．They had vocal cord injured.C．They suffered physical abuse.D．They had severe lung problems.2、The bond with Shocks made Amber______.A．like going to the donkey shelter with her good friendsB．fear animals no longer and dare to get close to themC．become more confident and willing to talk to peopleD．fight against her lung disease bravely3、Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A．Shocks Helps Amber to Recover from Her Lung BleedingB．A New Medical Cure Is Applied to Rescue the PatientsC．Amber Has Developed a Strong Bond with Her FriendsD．Girl Who Couldn't Speak Tells A Donkey “I Love You”24．（8分）The poisonous domoic (藻) acid affected Alfred Hitchcock' s "The Birds" after hundreds of them absorbed the poison in the summer of 1961 and lost their minds.The sick birds likely consumed poisonous acid via small fish. It also tends to collect in shellfish. And, according to a study published Tuesday, it may become more common as oceans warm, threatening birds and humans alike.Researchers have studied the rate of poisonous acid over the past 20 years in the Pacific Northwest, and found it strongly related to water temperatures that are warmer than normal.For now, warmer waters typically comes from events like EL Nino and a decades -long climate cycle called "Pacific decadal oscillation," the study found. It isn't yet clear how climate change, which also warms the oceans, might affect the rate of the poison."When water's unusually warm off our coast, it's because the circulation and patterns in the atmosphere has changed, bringing warm water from elsewhere - and this is happening at the same time that we also see high poisonous acid in shellfish, " Morgaine McKibben, the study ' s lead author said.The poison is produced during warm domoic blooms, and gets passed up the food chain by animals that eat it. Sea lions, dolphins and humans are at risk. While some animals can eventually clean themselves of the poison, the threat can last a long time after the warm water decreases.Animals poisoned by poisonous acid tend to become weak, and experience death. Symptoms in humans include headache, confusion, loss of short - term memory, weakness and unconsciousness.It isn't just a health risk. An Oregon State University statement notes that officials have to shut down shellfish harvests when poisonous acid levels are high, causing economic harm.Since health officials first regarded poison acid as a health threat in 1987, Pacific Northwest shellfish harvests have been stopped in 2005, 2017, and 2018. The West Coast crab（蟹）industry took an estimated$100 million hit in 2017 alone.1、Why did the birds lose their mind in the summer of 1961?A．They maybe had a bad memory. B．They maybe ate poisonous fish.C．They maybe collected the shellfish. D．They maybe drank warm water.2、What is the connection between the rate of poisonous acid and water temperatures?A．When atmosphere has changed, it warms off the coast.B．When circulation comes, the oceans get warmer.C．When climate has changed, the oceans get colder.D．When water becomes warmer, high poisonous acid appears.3、What result will poisonous acid cause to humans?A．Making humans conscious. B．Making humans dead.C．Making humans temporarily lose memory. D．Making humans suffer heart attack.4、What's the best title of this passage?A．High Poisonous Acid Appears in the AnimalsB．The West Coast Crab Industry Suffer Great LossC．Climate Change Warms the Oceans in the WorldD．Warmer Oceans Increase Likelihood of Poisonous Shellfish25．（10分）Most of us don’t reach for that gnarled (多节的) carrots when selecting our produce at the local supermarket. That’s exactly why Americans waste up to 40% of eatable food every year. This unbelievable number has sparked the “ugly food” movement, and inspired many companies to sell misshapen fruit and vegetables to consumers, rather than throw them in the trash.One San Francisco organization is taking a unique approach to this idea. The Salvage Supperclub hosts fancy dinners inside dumper truck (卸车) where they serve dishes entirely prepared with food that would have otherwise gone to waste.Josh Treuhaft, founder of these ugly food dinners, originally came up with the idea 10 bring awareness to America’s food waste problem. “There is undeveloped potential in their food that for some reason, not to their own fault, is going to waste,” he told Seeker’s Laura Ling.Treuhaft isn’t alone in his effort to reduce America’s food waste. A Change, org last year willed for Whole Foods to become part of the ugly food movement. They sold misshapen fruit and vegetables in Northern California stores.Selling imperfect produce is still relatively rare right now, which can be partially due to a supply issue rather than a lack of willing participants. Raley’s, a Sacramento-based grocery chain, started an ugly food pilot program called “Real Good”, but discontinued it after 90 days saying they had “some challenges sourcing the product”. A grower might have large amounts of ugly produce one year due to terrible weather, but much less the next year if the weather has been more ideal. Harvests constantly vary and retailers are more likely to buy ugly produce in large number rather than just a few pounds at a time.This is why organizations like Imperfect Produce and Salvage Supperclub are playing an important role in the prevention of food waste. Salvage Supperclub takes it a step further by not only buying the ugly produce, but turning it into a good dining experience as well.1、What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A．People usually prefer Rood-looking produce.B．Gnarled carrots mostly appear in the supermarket.C．Many companies find new business opportunities.D．Americans eat less fruit and vegetables than expected.2、Why does the Salvage Supperclub have dinners inside the dumper truck?A．To prove his fancy idea.B．To remind people not to waste.C．To show waste can be eaten.D．To advise people lo dine in dumper truck.3、What’s Josh Treuhaft’s advice to reduce America’s food waste?A．People should reduce the ugly food.B．People should make full use of ugly food.C．People should be more aware of food shortage.D．People should develop their potential in producing food.4、Why did Raley’s stop its “Real Good” after 90 days?A．Retailers’ pursuing larger profit.B．Bad harvests due to bad weather.C．Lack of steady sources of produce.D．People’s unwillingness to buy imperfect produ ce.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）“I love myself.” That sounds a bit _____ and I doubt if anyone would ever say it out loud, but finding the confidence to succeed is very _____ if you don’t love yourself.
