I have just returned from a visit to my landlord 房东, Mr. Heathcliff. I am delighted with the
house I am renting from him, which suits me perfectly.
Mr. Heathcliff is my only neighbour, and I think his character 性格 is similar to mine. He does
not like people either.
When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned 皱眉, and did not encourage me to
enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in.
“Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant. He looked crossly 故意为难地，生气地 up at
me as he took my horse. “God help us! A visitor!” 25.he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were
no other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Heathcliff hardly ever received guests.
His house is called Wuthering Heights. The name means “a windswept 被风吹的 house on a
hill”, and it is a very good description. 26.The trees around the house are bent by the north wind, which blows fiercely every day of the year. Fortunately, the house is strongly built, and is not
damaged even by the worst winter storms.
Mr. Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room. We sat down by the fire, in silence.
“Joseph!” shouted Mr. Heathcliff. No answer came from the cellar 地下室, so he dived down
there, leaving me alone with several rather 相 当 地 fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly one of them
jumped angrily up at me, and in a moment all the others were attacking me.
“Help! Mr. Heathcliff! Help!” I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but luckily a
woman, who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room to calm the dogs.
“What is the matter?” Mr. Heathcliff asked me rudely, as he finally entered the room,
accompanied by his man-servant.
“Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “You shouldn’t leave a stranger with them. They’re dangerous.”
“Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid
neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel offended 冒犯的 after this, and
accepted the wine. We sat drinking and talking together for a while. I suggested visiting him
tomorrow. He did not seem eager to see me again, but I shall go anyway. He seems a fascinating
man.
24. In which order 以什么顺序 should the following events be arranged?
a. Mr. Lockwood introduced himself to his landlord.
b. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat drinking and talking together.
c. Mr. Heathcliff invited Mr. Lockwood into the house.
d. Mr. Lockwood was attacked by some dogs.
e. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat down by the fire, in silence.
f. Mr. Heathcliff appeared in the main room with Joseph.
A. a, c, f, b, d, e. B. c, a, b, e, d, f.
C. a, c, e, d, f, b. D. c, a, f, e, d, b.
25. Why did Joseph say “God help us! A visitor!” when he met Mr. Lockwood?
A. He was very shocked to have a visitor.
B. He thought Mr. Lockwood was a new servant.
C. He had waited for Mr. Lockwood for a long time.
D. He was happy his prayer for guests was answered.为客人的祈祷得到了回应26. Why is the house called “Wuthering Heights”?
A. It is struck by strong winds all the year round.
B. It is protected well by the trees surrounding it.

C
A group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder肩并肩, red eyes looking
around. They look like middle schoolers 小学生 seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps
they’re not so different.
A new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist 鸟 类 学 家 who studies collective
behaviour集体行为, shows that the vulturine秃鹰似的
Guineafowl珠鸡 of eastern Africa, like humans, have multilevel多层次的 societies. In the past,
scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower脑力. But the pea-brained
guineafowl are revealing揭露 the faults in that assumption设想.
These large birds wander across the landscape in packs, often walking so closely that their
bodies touch. They may fight each other to maintain维持 their strict hierarchies (等级制度), but at
other times they engage in从事/参加/忙于 friendly behaviours like sharing food.
28.Suspecting 怀疑the guineafowl might have a social structure社会结构, Dr. Farine and his
colleagues began a thorough彻底的 study of their society. 29.For a whole year, they made daily
observations of 441 birds. Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the
black-and-blue birds apart. They also attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds, which let them
see exactly where every group went, 24 hours a day.
The findings of the research suggest 表 明 that the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society. There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be
groups of friends within the small groups. This is the first time anyone has observed such a society
in a bird.
And Dr. Farine emphasizes this particular bird’s tiny brain size: “They don’t only have small
brains relative to mammals ( 哺 乳 动 物 ), they also have quite small brains relative to other
birds,” he said.
According to him, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the
social order. For example, if groups are stable 稳 定 的 and a bird can identify just one or two
individuals within a group, it knows which group it’s looking at—no need for a brain that can
recognize every single animal. Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on
whatever challenges they’re facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it might
make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.
“Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,” Dr. Farine said. There may
be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have societies as
many-leveled as our own.
28. According to the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out the study?
A. His interest in animal brainpower. B. Previous assumptions about birds.
C．The guineafowl’s social behaviour. D．The faults in earlier research.
29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The research subjects. B．The research methods.
C．The research findings. D．The research equipment.
30. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl.
B. The guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group.
C．Birds maintain social order by travelling in combined groups.
D．Small-brained animals can form multilevel societies.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl.B. To explain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies.
C. To present the findings of a study of the guineafowl.
D. To uncover揭露 clues 线索about how complex societies are formed.
D
32.You can’t make a call or send a text on your mobile phone in the US town of Green Bank,
West Virginia. Wireless Internet is outlawed 不 合 法 的 , as is Bluetooth 蓝 牙 也 一 样 . As you
approach the tiny town on a two-lane road that snakes 曲折前进 through the mountains, your mobile
phone signal drops out, and your radio stops working. The rusted 生锈的 pay phone 付费电话 on
the north side of town is the only way for a visitor to reach the rest of the world. It’s a pre-modern
place by design, lacking of the latest technologies that define life today.
The reason for the town’s empty airwaves 电视广播 is apparent the moment you arrive 你一到
达. It’s the Robert C. Byrd telescope, also known as the GBT, a shiny white, 147-metre-tall satellite
dish. It’s the largest of its kind in the world and one of nine in Green Bank, all of them government
owned and operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).
33.You don’t look through these kinds of telescopes. They’re radio telescopes 无线电天文望远
镜, so instead of looking for distant stars, they listen for them. There’s a long line of astronomers all
over the world who want to use the telescope which is so sensitive that it could hear a single
snowflake hitting the ground 1,000 miles away.
Such a sensitive listening tool needs total technological silence to operate, so in 1958 the US
government created a National Radio Quiet Zone, a 33,000 km2 area covering Green Bank where, to
this day, electronic and radio signals are forbidden every hour of every day.
People who live within a 15km of the Green Bank telescope 34.are allowed to use landline
telephones 固定电话, wired Internet and cable televisions, but microwave ovens, wireless Internet
and radios are forbidden. You can have a mobile phone, but you won’t get a signal.
Because of how much its way of life varies from the rest of America, Green Bank seems to be a
somewhat isolated ( 隔 绝 ), even alien place. For locals, the technology ban is annoying. 35.For
others who come to Green Bank for a little rest and relaxation, the town has become a refuge 避难所.
32. What do we know about the town of Green Bank from Paragraph 1?
A. It’s located at the base of a large mountain. B. It is geographically and technologically isolated. 在地理位置上和技术上都被孤立/隔离了
C. Its telecommunications are affected by its geography.电讯受到地理条件的影响
D. Many people live in the town and its surrounding areas.
33. How does the GBT work?
A. It traps light waves in its huge dish.
B. It stops all electronic and radio signals.
C. It receives pictures from space satellites.
D. It listens for 注意听 and receives noises from space.
34. What equipment are locals of the Green Bank allowed to use?
A. Cable TV, wired Internet and radio.
B. Landline phones, wired Internet and cable TV.
C. Public phones, wireless Internet and mobile phones.
D. Landline phones, microwave ovens and cable internet.
35. What does the underlined word “refuge” in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A. A place of escape. B. A source of confusion.
C. An area of interest. D. A sign of danger.
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
Whether you want to improve your writing skills as a creative writer or simply perfect your
skills for schoolwork, you can take some steps to learn how to be a better writer.
1. Use active instead of passive voice.
In English, the most basic sentence structure is S-V-O: Subject-Verb-Object. The passive voice
usually requires more words and use of a “to be” verb form, which can suck the energy out of your
writing. Learn to avoid these constructions as much as you can. 36 D (It 指代前一句的 science
writing) conventionally uses the passive voice to put the emphasis on the results, rather than the
researchers.
2. 37 A （这个段落的中心句）Finding the right verb or adjective can turn an uninspired sentence into one people will
remember and quote for years to come. Look for words that are as specific as possible. Strong
doesn't mean obscure 昏暗的/不清楚的, or more complicated. Don't say “utilize” when you could
say “use.” 38 F
3. Cut the chaff 无价值的东西.
39 C You don't get points for saying in 50 words what could be said in 20, or for
using multi-syllable 多音节 words when a short one does just as well. It might feel good at first to
pack a lot of ideas and details into a single sentence, but chances are that sentence is just going to be
hard to read. If a phrase doesn't add anything valuable, just cut it. 40 G If you notice that
your writing is filled with “-ly” words, it might be time to take a deep breath and give your writing
more focus 中心/焦点.
A. Use strong words.
B. Show, don't tell.
C. Good writing is simple, clear and direct.
D. The main exception 特例 to this is science writing.
E. Cutting the chaff is best done at the editing stage.
F. “He sprinted” is not necessarily 并不一定 better than “he ran.” （接着前一句延伸..）
G. Don't write “screamed fearfully” － “scream” already suggests fear.（在前面句子的基础上
举个例子）

my two little girls.

crying so I tried 58 calming her, even though everything inside me was 59 trembling .

right in I will have all the strength I need.

Dear Chris,
I’m really happy to hear that you’re interested in foods that are traditionally eaten during
holidays in China. I’m sincerely writing to you now to introduce some of the most well-known ones.
During the Lantern Festival, people will typically eat sweet dumplings, whose round shape and
sweet stuffing symbolize 象 征 a happy year. Another kind of similar food is served during the
Dragon Boat Festival. It is called zongzi, which is wrapped in a green wrapping that is made from a
plant that grows during spring. All of these traditional foods are made from special materials and are
meant to symbolize wishes of well-being.
Personally, I prefer another kind of food: noodles served with sweet sauce. The noodles have a
fresh taste and refined texture. For me, there is no better choice of food to eat on a hot summer day.
I hope this information can be of some value to you. Hope to receive a reply from you soon!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
