Young birds are often attracted to the warm roads’ surface and get killed by the traffic. Biology student, Hannah tells the broadcaster. The youngster’s feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngster hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Christen says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multi-colored road this summer, and if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 此听力题，解析略。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 此为听力题，解析略。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 此为听力题，解析略。‎ 第二部分:英语知识运用(共两节，满分35分)‎ 第一节:单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)‎ 请认真阅读下面各题，从题中所给的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。‎ 例:It is generally considered unwise to give a child _______ he or she wants.‎ A. however B. whatever C. whichever D. whenever 答案是B。‎ ‎21.We have entered into an age _______ dreams have the best chance of coming true. ‎ A. which B. what C. when D. that ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我们已经进入到了一个时代，在这个时代梦想实现的机会最大。句中先行词为an age（一个时代），且先行词在从句中做时间状语，所以关系词用when。 故选C。‎ ‎22.The musician along with his band members ___________ ten performances in the last three months.‎ A. gives B. has given C. have given D. give ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查现在完成时与主谓一致。句意：在过去的三个月里，这名音乐家与他的乐队成员已经完成了十场演出。由“in the last three months”可知，这句话的时态为现在完成时，故排除AD选项。本句主语为the musician，为第三人称单数形式，句中的“along with his band members”是附加成分，故谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。故选B。‎ ‎23.The doctor shares his phone number with the patients __________ they need medical assistance.‎ A. if only B. as if C. even though D. in case ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查状语从句的连词。句意：医生给了病人他的手机号码，以防病人需要医疗援助。A. if only要是…多好；B. as if好像，仿佛；C. even though即使，尽管；D. in case以备，以防，免得。故选D。‎ ‎24.More wind power stations will ____________ to meet the demand for clean energy.‎ A. take up B. clear up C. hold up D. spring up ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查动词词组。句意：为了满足新能源的需求，更多的风力发电站将会被建立起来。A. take up开始从事，占领，开始干（工作）；B. clear up整理，收拾，解决（问题）；C. hold up（论点、理论等） 站得住脚，阻挡，举起；D. spring up出现，涌现。故选D。‎ ‎25.Scientists have obtained more evidence ___________ plastic is finding its way into the human body.‎ A. what B. that C. which D. where ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查同位语从句。句意：科学家已经获得更多证据，塑料正在进入人们的体内。从句不缺句子成分，且与evidence指代的是同一事件，用that引导同位语从句。故选B。‎ ‎26.Nowadays the ___________ for travelling is shifted from shopping to food and scenery.‎ A. priority B. potential C. proportion D. pension ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查名词辨析。句意：当今，旅行的重点从购物转变成了品尝美食和欣赏风景。A. priority优先；优先权；B. potential潜在的，可能的；C. proportion比例，占比；D. pension退休金，抚恤金。故选A。‎ ‎27.Favorable policies are ___________ to encourage employees' professional development.‎ A. in effect B. in command C. in turn D. in shape ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查介词短语。句意：好的制度政策实际上都会激发员工的专业水平的提升。A. in effect实际上；B. in command指挥；C. in turn轮流，依次；D. in shape 在外形上，处于良好的状态。故选A。‎ ‎28.Unlike traditional gyms, app-backed gyms offer people ___________ options to exercise.‎ A. casual B. regular C. flexible D. tight ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查形容词辨析。句意：不像传统的体育锻炼，有app软件的体育锻炼提供了灵活的锻炼选项。A. casual偶然的，随便的；B. regular定期的，有规律的；C. flexible灵活的；D. tight紧的，密封的。故选C。‎ ‎29.A few months after he had arrived in China, Mr. Smith ___________ in love with the people and culture there.‎ A. would fall B. had fallen C. has fallen D. fell ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查谓语动词时态。句意：他到中国几个月后，就喜欢上了那里的人和文化。发生在had arrived之后的动作或状态应用一般过去时。故选D。‎ ‎30.___________ the convenience of digital payment, many senior citizens started to use smart phones.‎ A.

A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。在现代，野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁，每天都有一些物种灭绝。白鹤就是其中之一。但是，有很多人正在竭尽全力保护这些物种免于灭绝。Chris和Tim通过努力，帮助一只名叫Emma的雌鹤繁殖了五只幼鹤。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 根据第一句“Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age”和最后一句提到的“…the species from going out of existence”可以推知，野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁，每天都有一些物种灭绝，即：“消失”。D选项正确。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 前文提到每天都有物种消失，那么该句应指科学家们正在竭尽全力保护这些物种，使它们免于灭绝。故B选项正确。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 上文最后一句提到科学家们竭尽全力保护濒临灭绝的物种，由此推知，该处应指Chris和Tim帮助濒危物种繁殖，增加它们的数量，这样它们才不至于灭绝。故该空应指“繁殖”，C选项正确。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 自从2004年，Emma一直由Chris和Tim照顾。该空和下一句中的“human caretaker”呼应。故选A。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 根据空后的“human caretakers”可知，caretaker当然是照看Emma的。故该句应指：出生在一个国际鹤基地，Emma由人类抚养照看。故选C。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 根据空后的though（尽管）可知，though前后的两个句子之间是转折关系。后面提到，她过得很开心。根据转折关系，那么前文应该表示“但是这导致了出乎意料的结果”。B选项正确。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 根据下文中的“become deeply attached to humans…even …killing some of them”等内容可知，因为Emma一直由人类照看，所以它没有将自己看作是一只鹤，而是深深的依恋上了人类。故选A。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 根据上文，Emma不把自己当作鹤，所以它“拒绝”和雄鹤生活在一起。B选项正确。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 根据even（甚至）这个递进关系可知，Emma 不仅拒绝和雄鹤生活在一起，而且因为弄死了几只雄鹤而“臭名昭著”。故D选项正确。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ Emma拒绝和雄鹤生活，这当然使得她“不可能”生育小鹤，成为妈妈。D选项正确。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 上文提到Emma拒绝和雄鹤生活，使得她不可能生育小鹤。下文提到两位动物园管理员不想看到这一物种的灭绝。由此推知，上下文之间是转折关系。C选项正确。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 经过努力，Chris和Tim成功的将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合在一起。A选项正确。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ Chris和Tim成功的将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合在一起，这使得Emma诞育了五只幼鹤。enable sb. to do sth.意为“使……能够做某事”，D选项正确。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 根据后文more efforts must be made可以推知，尽管两个人为自己的成就感到骄傲，但是他们还需要付出更多努力，因为野生鹤的数量在减少。所以他们还不能完全放心（白鹤不会灭绝）。故选C。assured意为“确定的，有把握的，自信的”。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 根据because可知，前后句之间是因果关系，根据more efforts must be made可以推知，野生白鹤数量在减少，所以，还要付出更多的努力（来挽救白鹤灭绝）。故D选项正确。‎ ‎【51题详解】‎ 前文提到：野生白鹤数量正在减少，很多其他物种似乎也在逐渐灭绝。该句提到，并不是所有的人都意识到野生动物有思想，感情，以及平等生存的权利。很明显，该句是对前文出现野生动物濒临灭绝原因的一种解释。故B选项正确。after all：毕竟（用于解释和说明理由）。‎ ‎【52题详解】‎ 针对上文提到的很多物种灭绝这种现象，作者提出一个问题：我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢？B选项正确。‎ ‎53题详解】‎ 前文提出一个问题：我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢？Chris和Tim的做法给我们提供了一个答案。C选项正确。‎ ‎【54题详解】‎ 根据下文中的“hold all the solutions ‎”可以推断出，人类认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决办法。即：人类认为自己的大脑可以想出所有的解决办法。A选项正确。‎ ‎【55题详解】‎ 根据转折词but可以推知，人类想当然的认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决办法。但或许他们可以用“心”更好地“引领”他们去保护这些濒危的动物。故A选项正确。‎ 第三部分: 阅读理解(共15 小题； 每小题2 分, 满分30 分)‎ 请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的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 Whatever your age or interests, Buxton has something to see or do to make your visit truly memorable.‎ High energy If you desire physical activities, you can choose activities from swimming to horse riding. Explore the heights with Go Ape, the high wire forest adventure course, or journey beneath the earth at Poole's Cavern.

Buxton Open House & Pavilion Arts Centre is special because it offers ________.‎ A. rides in small trains B. courses in modcm arts C. artistic and cultural activities D. basic courses in horse riding ‎【答案】56. A 57. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。短文向游客介绍了去布克斯顿旅游可以去的一些景点的相关信息。‎ ‎【56题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由High energy中的“...... journey beneath the earth at Poole's Cavern”可知，在 Poole's Cavern，可以在地下旅行，也就是乘坐地铁旅行。所以如果你想乘地铁旅行，Poole's Cavern是你最好的选择。故A选项正确。‎ ‎【57题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由High minded中的“Buxton is justifiably proud of it’s cultural life and you will find much to suit all tastes with art ,music,opera,and the performing arts at Buxton Opera House&Pavilion Arts Center and Green Man Gallery”可知，Buxton 以其丰富的文化生活而自豪，在Buxton Opera House&Pavilion Arts Center and Green Man Gallery，您将发现许多适合各种品味的艺术、音乐、歌剧和表演艺术。所以Buxton Opera House&Pavilion Arts Center特别是因为它提供艺术和文化活动。故C选项正确。‎ B In the 1960s，while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park，Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that，oddly，had not troubled anyone before:he couldn't find the park's volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.‎ Most of us，when we talk about volcanoes，think of the classic cone(圆锥体)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro，which are created when erupting magma(岩浆)piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943，a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth，all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is，however，a second les known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack，leaving behind a vast hole，the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type，but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere.‎ Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors' centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos，he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera; almost the whole park-2.2 million acres—was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.‎ ‎58. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone？‎ A. Its complicated geographical features.‎ B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.‎ C. The mysterious history of the park.‎ D. The exact location of the volcano.‎ ‎59. What does the second-paragraph mainly talk about？‎ A. The shapes of volcanoes.‎ B. The impacts of volcanoes.‎ C. The activities of volcanoes.‎ D. The heights of volcanoes.‎ ‎60. What does the underlined word "blow-up" in the last paragraph most probably mean？‎ A. Hot-air balloon. B. Digital camera.‎ C. Big photograph. D. Bird's view.‎ ‎【答案】58. D 59. A 60. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文为记叙文。讲述了二十世纪六十年代Bob Christiansen在研究黄石公园的火山历史时，奇怪地发现到处看不到火山的影子，原来，这儿的火山并不是像我们大部分人想象的那种圆锥体形状的高耸的样子，而是一个巨大的洞，这个洞太大了以至于从地面上的任何地方都看不见。‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.可知，他困惑的是到处看不到火山。故选D。‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。本段讲述了两种形状的火山，一种是通常人们所理解的由火山岩浆堆积形成的圆锥体，还有一种极具爆发力的火山，它们会在一个大裂缝中爆裂，留下一个巨大的洞，故选A。‎ ‎【60题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the ‎ visitors’ centers.可知，美国国家航空和宇宙航行局为测试一些新的高海拔照相机而拍摄了黄石公园的照片。一位深思熟虑的官员把其中的一些照片副本转交给了公园管理部门，认为他们可能会将其放大以供一个游客中心展示。故可知，此处意为将照片放大，选C。‎ C Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?‎ It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.‎ The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in "post-industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.‎ Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.‎ In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a "borderless world". As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and ‎ goods, with poor results.‎ Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.‎ ‎61. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to __________.‎ A. a lack of confidence in technology B. a slow progress in technology C. a conflict of public opinions D. a waste of limited resources ‎62. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should __________.‎ A. take people's essential needs into account B. make their programmes attractive to people C. ensure that each child gets financial support D. provide more affordable internet facilities ‎63. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?‎ A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.‎ B. Believing that the world has become borderless.‎ C. Ignoring the power of economic development.‎ D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.‎ ‎64. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.‎ B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.‎ C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.‎ D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.‎ ‎【答案】61. D 62. A 63. B 64. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文属于议论文，讲述对信息技术的过分迷恋对国家，对个人，对慈善事业都会有不利的影响。‎ ‎【61题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段However, they have reak impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources. 可知，对信息技术的错误判断会导致有限资源的错误使用，也就是资源的浪费，故选D。‎ ‎【62题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.可知，与其给那些贫困地区孩子笔记本电脑或者建网络中心，还不如给钱打井，铺电网或者生产他们买得起的洗衣机，这些东西更能改善他们的生活。作者不是说这些东西一定更重要，但是很多捐赠者没有仔细考虑捐赠的东西的长期成本，因此作者建议捐赠者要考虑接受捐赠的人的实际情况，而不是一味地追求信息化，故选A。‎ ‎【63题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第五段In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a "borderless world". 以及Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.可知，对新东西的迷恋让人们认为如今通讯技术和交通的变革让我们生活在一个无国界的世界。正是认为我们生活在这样一个世界，很多政府取消了关于跨国界的资本、劳动力以及商品流动的法律法规，故选B。‎ ‎【64题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in "post-industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.‎ 可知，对互联网呈现的通讯技术变革的迷恋让很多富裕国家做出一个错误的结论，制造产品已经过时了，他们应该靠创意生活，因而忽略了制造业，从而对经济造成不利影响，故可知，传统的技术依然有它的地位，不能新兴的信息技术取代，故选B。‎ D 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 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 sill 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.‎ 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.‎ ‎65. 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.‎ ‎66. After hearing Steve’s playing, Naomi ________.‎ A. refused to make a comment on it B. was deeply impressed by his music C. decided to free Steve from suffering D. regretted offering help to her friend ‎67. How can the process of Steve’s recording be described?‎ A. It was slow but productive.‎ B. It was beneficial to his health.‎ C. It was tiresome for Naomi.‎ D. It was vital for Naomi’s career.‎ ‎68.

How did Steve feel at the concert held in downtown Portland？‎ A. He felt concerned about his illness.‎ B. He sensed a responsibility for music.‎ C. He regained his faith in music.‎ D. He got into a state of quiet.‎ ‎70. What can be a suitable title for the passage?‎ A. The Kindness of Friends B. The Power of Music C. The Making of a Musician D. The Value of Determination ‎【答案】65.

B ‎【解析】‎ 本文属于记叙文，主要讲述一个钢琴师帮助一个患老年痴呆症的老人录制音乐的故事，其录制过程比较艰苦，但是录制的音乐很成功，也让老人对音乐充满了信心。‎ ‎【65题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，Steve的专业软件工程，还是一个钢琴的热爱者，是家里唯一的音乐家，音乐是他真正热爱的东西，尽管没有在家以外的地方弹奏过钢琴。根据第三段Melissa, his daughter ,felt it more than worthwhile to save his music.可知他的女儿Melissa觉得保存他的音乐很有价值，故选C。‎ ‎【66题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第十段 “it was beautiful,” Naomi said after listening to the recording. “ the music was worth saving.”可知，听了录音之后Naomi说很美，值得保存，故可以得出Naomi 对Steve的音乐印象深刻，故选B。‎ ‎【67题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第十二段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.以及第十三段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.可知，Steve会笨拙地把手指放在钢琴上，然后Naomi把手指放在他放的地方，并且Steve努力解释脑海里的内容，所有的这些，都是Naomi在弹奏，而Steve在听，故可知这个录制过程很慢。根据第十六段Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal songs.可知作品很多。故选A。‎ ‎【68题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第十六段Joni thought that would be the end. But it wasn’t. 以及后文Steve取得的成就可知在完成Melancholy Flower之前，他的妻子还没完全意识到丈夫的音乐的真正价值，故选C。‎ ‎【69题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段He knew the path his life was now taking.

It seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains. Mammals(‎ 哺乳动物)weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm2. Modern man has a brain averaging 1200-1400 cm2. We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power, more must be better. Unfortunately, that is not the case.‎ The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain—consumption of energy—on the body. I's not easy to carry around, especially when boxed inside a massive skull(倾骨). It's even harder to provides energy. In modern man, the brain accounts for about 2-3%of total body weight but it consumes 25% of the body's energy when the body is at rest. By comparison, the brains of apes(类人猿)require only 8%of rest-time energy. Early humans pad for their large brains in two ways. Firstly, they spent more time in search food. Secondly, their muscles grew smaller and weaker. It's hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive. A chimpanzee(黑猩猩) can't win an argument with a modern man, but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll.‎ Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, it's easier to find food or enemies. In addition, their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes, like throwing stones or signaling. As a result, humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands.‎ Yet walking upright has its disadvantage. The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and has a relatively small head. Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge, especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull. Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands backaches and painful necks.‎ We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth. But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creature. Thus humans who lived a million years ago despite their big brains and sharp stone tools, lived in constant fear of meat-eating animals.‎ The Cost of Thinking Introduction ‎• Large brains for their bodies and the ability to walk upright are two ___71___ of human beings.‎ The ___72___ of ‎• The larger brains may not be better because of the cost.‎ ‎ large human brains ‎• The big brains make it harder for the body to move around and consume more energy.‎ ‎• The animal brain requires less ___73___ when the body is at rest.‎ ‎• Large human brains consume more food, and weaken muscles.‎ The ___74___ of walking upright ‎• Walking upright makes it easy to find food or ___75___ against enemies.‎ ‎• Freed hands can serve some ___76___ purpose and perform complex tasks.‎ ‎• Walking upright challenges the human bone structure, and ___77___ the size of brains.‎ ‎• Walking upright results in ___78___ sufferings.‎ Conclusion ‎• With a large brain, human beings ___79___ other beings in terms of intelligence.‎ ‎• Weak and marginal, human beings remained ___80___ of meat-eating animals.‎ ‎【答案】71. characteristics ‎ ‎72. disadvantages ‎ ‎73. energy 74. impact(s) ‎ ‎75. guard 76. other ‎ ‎77. limits 78. physical ‎ ‎79. beat 80. fearful/afraid ‎【解析】‎ 本文为记叙文。主要叙述人用大脑思考的代价。人类与动物相比有两大特点：大大的大脑和直立行走。超大的大脑使人类拥有更高的智商，但却消耗巨大的能量。直立行走让人类擅长寻找食物和抵御敌人，解放了的双手来更复杂的事。但却让人类遭受腰痛和颈部疼痛等。人类成为地球上最强大的动物，享受无与伦比的优势，却对食肉动物怀有恐惧。‎ ‎【71题详解】‎ 考查信息归纳。根据第一段“all human beings share defining characteristics ,such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs.”可知，大脑袋和双腿直立行走的能力是人类共有的特点(characteristics)。故填characteristics。‎ ‎【72题详解】‎ 考查信息归纳。72题就是对第三段内容的总结。第三段主要叙述了人类的大脑大的缺点。因此本空格填写disadvantages。‎ ‎【73题详解】‎ 考查信息来源。根据第三段中的“a huge brain is a huge drain--consumption of energy ”以及“It (the brain) consumes 25% of the body’s energy when the body is at rest.By comparison the brains of apes require only 8% of rest- time energy”可知，人类巨大的大脑是一个巨大的能量消耗。 当身体处于休息时，大脑要消耗25%的身体能量。相比之下，类人猿的大脑只需要8%的休息时间能量。人类与动物相比，动物需要的能量（energy）要比人类少。故填energy。‎ ‎【74题详解】‎ 考查信息归纳题。分析空后的75--78小题所在的第五段和第六段的内容可知，此部分主要叙述了直立行走对人类的影响。故填impact(s)。‎ ‎【75题详解】‎ 考查考查信息转换。根据第五段的第一句“Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, it’s easier to find food or enemies.”可知，另一个独特的人类特征是我们直立行走。站起来，更容易找到食物或敌人。找到敌人，就是为了防御敌人。因为or为连词，在此句中连结两个动词短语，故空格填动词。“guard against...”为固定搭配，意为“防御......”，故本空填写guard。‎ ‎【76题详解】‎ 考查信息来源。根据第五段中的”...their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes ,like throwing stones or signaling. As a result, humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands. ”可知，解放了的双手可以用于做其它的事，即有其它的目的。故填other。‎ ‎【77题详解】‎ 考查信息归纳。根据第五段“walking upright has disadvantages. The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on four and a relative small head.‎ ‎ Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge , especially when the bones had to support an extra -large skull.” 可知，直立行走也有缺点。我们祖先进化了上百亿年，⻣骼也只能支撑四肢行走和有一个相对较小的头。直立行走对人类的骨架是一个相当大的挑战，限制了人的头脑的大小。故本空填limits。‎ ‎【78题详解】‎ 考查信息转换。根据第六段“..., Humankind paid for its vision and skillful hands with backaches and painful necks.” 可知，直立对人类的骨架是一个相当大的挑战，人类为自己的视力和灵巧的双手付出了代价，换来的是腰酸背痛和脖子疼痛。由此得出，直立导致身体方面的(physical)痛苦，故填physical。‎ ‎【79题详解】‎ 根据最后一段“We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages.It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth.”可知，我们假设大脑越大，优势越大。很明显，这些使得人类成为地球上最强大的动物。由此可推断出我们的大脑比动物大，在智力方面人类比动物更聪明，即在智力方面击败了(beat)其他动物。故本空填beat。‎ ‎【80题详解】‎ 根据最后一段“...humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they weak and marginal creatures. Thus humans who lived a million years ago, despite their big brains and sharp stone tools, lived in constant fear of meat--eating animals.”可知，尽管人类享受着所有这些优势，但也是弱小的生物。因此尽管拥有巨大的大脑和锋利的石器，但也曾经对食肉动物仍旧害怕/恐惧。因为空前是系动词，故本空要填形容词(afraid/fearful)可知，此处要填名词，故填fearful/afraid。‎ 第五部分: 书面表达(满分25 分)‎ ‎81.请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ Li Jiang:Have you heard this？A group of exchange students from the UK are visiting our school next month.‎ Su Hua:Yes，I have.

Li recommends the traditional Chinese dress while Su prefers the school uniform.‎ I would be happy to wear traditional Chinese clothes at the welcome ceremony. Firstly, this is precisely what the British visitors are expecting. They come to learn about Chinese culture with their own eyes. Their Chinese peers in the typical Chinese dress would be highly impressive. The school uniforms are fine, but not special enough to give a unique Chinese flavour. Secondly, the inconvenience is not a problem if our purpose is to share Chinese culture. It is just the so-called inconvenience that displays the richness, delicacy and great fascination of Chinese culture with a ‎ history of thousands of years.‎ The traditional Chinese clothes, it seems to me, will make the occasion very Chinese and inviting to the British guests.‎ Possible version two:‎ Li Jiang and Su Hua don't agree on what to wear when greeting the British students Li suggests ‎
