第I卷（选择题 共60分）
第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）
第一节 （共15小题；每题1.5分，满分22.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Differences are important and they should be respected. For example, many important people throughout history were considered different, such as Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and Abraham Lincoln. They did great things, but some people thought they were strange because they had strong feelings about something. I can understand these people because I’ve been in that situation before many times.
It all started in elementary school when I realized that I wasn’t like everyone else. My mom says that I have a tendency to be obsessed(着迷)with certain subjects. Unfortunately, these subjects don’t interest other kids of my age and they really don’t interest my teachers. In fact, my kindergarten teacher said she would scream if I mentioned snakes or lizards one more time while she was teaching the days of the week. I would get into trouble for not paying attention and the teasing began.
In the third grade, my teacher informed me that I have Asperger’s Syndrome（症状）. I said, “So what? Do you know that Godzilla’s suit weighs 188 pounds?”
Later, I asked my mom, “What’s Asperger’s Syndrome? Am I gonna die?” She said that it’s like having blinders on, and that I can only see one thing at a time, and that it’s hard to focus on other things.
People also make fun of me for knowing facts about volcanoes, whales, tornadoes and many other scientific things. My mom says that she has been able to answer many questions on Jeopardy! just by listening to what I have to say, but I’ve even been laughed at for being smart.
Maybe someday I’ll become a gene engineer and create the real Godzilla. I can dream, Can’t I?
1. Why does the author mention people like Albert Einstein?
A. To examine differences B. To show his admiration
C. To make comparison D. To support his idea
2. How did the kindergarten teacher feel about the author?
A. Angry B. Worried C. Sorry D. Curious
3. What’s Jeopardy! most probably?
A. It’s a program intended for young kids. B. It’s a quiz show covering various topics.
C. It’s a novel telling about adventure stories. D. It’s a magazine about scientific discoveries.
B
The more interested you are in a topic, the more likely you may be to form “false memories” about the events related to that topic.
“Most people are pretty confident about their own memory for some events, but new research shows that false memory is a lot more frequent than many people realize. In terms of daily life, the key point here may be to understand that someone who remembers an event differently from yours isn’t necessarily lying—someone’s memory may be faulty, or it might be you,” said study co-author Ciara Greene, a psychologist at the university College Dublin.
In the study, the researchers asked 489 people to read four news stories about events that were related to the topics they ranked as the most interesting, and four stories about events related to the topics they rated as the least interesting. In each case, three of these events really did occur, but the fourth one was made up.
It turned out that people tended to remember the stories of the topics they said they were more interested in compared with the topics they were not interested in. However, the participants also tended to store more false memories related to the topics they were interested in compared with the topics they were not interested in, the researchers found.
The more people know about a topic, the more memories related to this topic they have stored in their brains, the researchers said. Therefore, when a person meets new information on this topic, that information may find traces of similar memories that have already stored in the brain, Greene said.
“This can result in a sense of familiarity or recognition of the new material, leading to the conviction (确信) that the information has been met before and is in fact an existing memory,” Greene said. In other words, this new material or information may “feel” familiar and therefore the person may believe it must be true, he said.
Learning more about how false memories work may help protect against the harmful results of them, such as when eyewitness accounts(证言) of crimes are faulty.
4. What Ciara said in Paragraph 2 suggests that you shouldn’t _________.
A. forget the frequency of false memory. B. lie to someone with different memories.
C. believe faulty memories of other people. D. completely trust your memory.
5. In the study, people who were interested in a topic________.
A. were less likely to form false memories related to it
B. tended to remember false information about it
C. could remember any information about it easily
D. wanted to know more about it
6. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The harm of false information.
B. Why people have a poor memory.
C. Interesting topics may lead to false memories.
D. How to make a good memory for some events
C
In the story of “The crow and the Pitcher” from Aesop’s Fables, a thirsty crow(乌鸦) drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.
Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. New Caledonian crows actually do understand how to make water displacement work to their advantage, experiments showed. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders, according to the study.
Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the university of Auckland in New Zealand, presented six crows with tubes filled with water. Inside the tubes, a worm or piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged a bunch of heavy rubber erasers that would sink, and light plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the heavy objects into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.
However, the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow tube to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops. In contrast, it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn’t realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.
Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in small amount of water at the bottom.
7. What does the text focus on?
A. Aesop’s prediction B. Crow’s intelligence
C. The development of crows D. Human-animal communication
8. How did the crows get the worm in a tube in Sarah’ experiment?
A. By dropping in the heavy erasers. B. By removing the plastic objects.
C. By standing on the wood. D. By breaking the tube.
9. What does the underlined part “the treat” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The tube. B. The object. C. The snack D. The water.
10. What did the experiment with wide and narrow tubes show?
A. Crows are sensitive to surroundings.
B. Crows have the ability to recognize shapes.
C. Crows are cleverer than chimps and children.
D. Crows understand water displacement incompletely.

Dear Editor,
I’m the only daughter of my parents. So they worried about everything I do. For example, when I ride my bike, my parents won’t let me ride by myself. They are afraid of I might fall off my bike and hurt myself. Instead, they are taking great trouble to support a bike, with my mother even carrying a first-aid box. I’m not free to ride and I often say angry, “Why not let me ride alone?” Now, most family have one child. Parents want to do everything for his children. This does no good on them. Too much love from parents may prevent children from become independent. In my opinion, parents should let their children do that they should do alone.
Yours,
Alice

第二节 书面表达 （满分15分）
Dear editor,
Under the influence of family planning policy, more and more families have an only child. With time going by, I am crazy about having a brother or a sister.
I think it will benefit me a lot. First, I won’t feel lonely any longer. I have a good companion and that will enrich my life, making it lively and interesting. Besides, he or she can help me overcome many difficulties in my life. I can seek advice from him or her. In every stage of life he or she can help me for nothing in return. What especially counts is that having a brother or sister can promote all-round development of children, benefiting them both physically and mentally. Equally it important is that having a brother or sister can ease the burden in the future—looking after old parents when they are old or get ill. But for an only child, it is a tiring job.
I do hope the government can find some suitable ways to perfect the family planning policy, making a more harmonious society and making people live a better life.
Best Wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
