On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya. His calmness
makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is
tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.
Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life.
Born into a traditional Maasai family, he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife.
Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they
may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints(爪
印) of a lion from those of other animals.
Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise
meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But
Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists
over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.
Each year, thousands of tourists crowd Kenya’s national parks to try to have a look at the “big five”：
elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot
because the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya’s wildlife disappears, so does
its second-largest source of income.
Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地) for animals. But it
also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into
smaller surrounding areas. They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle.
But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.
4．How did Kasaine track lions?
A．By working together with tourists.
B．By running after them all the time.C．By going to school every day.
D．By studying their paw prints.
5．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A．Maasai people are born animal lovers.
B．Tourism is a big threat to Kenya’s wildlife.
C．Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.
D．Small animals are not included in their protection policy.
6．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Kenya’s economic development. B．People’s leaving their original homes.
C．Kenya’s secondlargest income source. D．Kenyan people’s traditional Maasai lifestyle.
7．What is the best title for the text?
A．Wildlife Protection in Kenya B．Meeting a Dangerous Animal
C．Wilson Kasaine’s Wise Choice D．Learning to Live with Lions
C
Food storing is common in members of the crow family. A new study tested the birds outside this
naturally occurring behaviour, which may have evolved specifically because it gives crows a survival
advantage. Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food. So the researchers tested
whether the birds could store and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17
hours—something we wouldn’t expect them to do naturally. But they were able to instantly select the tool
out of a number of unnecessary items.
In another experiment, the researchers taught crows to select a token(礼品券) from a number of items
so that they could then exchange for food. Again, the birds then showed that they could plan for the future
using this new behaviour. This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning, which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour. For example, we know that chimpanzees( 黑 猩 猩 ) select,
transport and save appropriate tools for future needs.
These studies have shown that animals can plan for the future—but they left an important question
open for debate. Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved to give them a specific
advantage, or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions? Most
critics would say the former, as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviours.
But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using
behaviour that doesn’t typically occur in nature. This supports the view that at least some recognitive
abilities in animals don’t evolve just in response to specific problems. Instead, it suggests that animals can
apply these behaviours flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans. We need to investigate how
flexible behaviour evolved. Then we might be able to see how crows’ ability to plan for the future fits in
with their broader cognitive powers.
8．What’s the new finding about some crows according to Paragraph 1?
A．They can store food. B．They can use tools to recover food.
C．They can store and recover tools. D．They can select and store food.
9．What are crows trained by scientists to do when given a token?
A．Reject it casually. B．Exchange it for food.
C．Save it as their food. D．Build a nest with it.
10．What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future?
A．They are controversial. B．They are disappointing.
C．They are contradictory. D．They are convincing.
11．What can be inferred about recognitive abilities in animals?
A．They develop only with age. B．It is unclear how they’ve evolved now.
C．No animals but crows benefit from them. D．Planning for the future helps their evolution.D
A billionaire has recently made one of the biggest charitable(慈善的) donations to a university in
China’s history. Chen Tianqiao donated $115 million to the California Institute of Technology(Caltech) to
help advanced brain research. The donation will be spent deepening the understanding of how the brain
works. Chen has been interested in brain research, believing it can shape the industries such as artificial
intelligence and virtual reality. However, this huge donation has caused heated discussions among Chinese
scholars and Internet users alike.
Many criticized him for choosing to give money to a foreign university rather than home institutes for
brain research, which are developing fast and are on track to catch up with the US in just a few years. Rao
Yi, a biologist at Peking University, even said the donation was a typical mistake.
Others, however, support his choice. They believe Caltech is a more reasonable choice compared to
Chinese research institutions. Caltech has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology, and
therefore it produces more efficient results. In addition, the results of the research benefit not only the
American people, but also the rest of the world.
A similar controversial case started two years ago when Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, donated
$15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese students.
Many believe that China is still behind in the management and use of donated money, and that as a
result, Chinese charity donators are looking abroad. In comparison, Western countries like the US, which
have a long history of donating money, have well-developed systems that use money efficiently. They can
also provide full access for donors who want to track the use of the money. To get more donations, Chinese
universities should be braver and more honest. They need self-reflection, rather than envy.
12．Why did Chen’s donation draw criticism?
A．It was not given to a Chinese university. B．It was one of the largest to Caltech.
C．It was not used efficiently in the US. D．It was used in brain research.
13．What is the reason for some people in favor of Chen’s choice?A．The Chinese are just too envious.
B．The achievements will benefit the whole world.
C．Caltech is a university with a longer history.
D．The fund can help disadvantaged Chinese students.
14．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Pan Shiyi in the passage?
A．To suggest the enthusiasm of the billionaires.
B．To show off generosity of the billionaires.
C．To inform Chinese students are poor at academy.
D．To stress the disagreement over donating abroad.
15．What does the author think of the Chinese universities should do to get more fund?
A．Explore artificial intelligence. B．Develop efficient systems.
C．Grow fast and catch up with the US. D．Educate more honest graduates.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I am a worrier. I worry from the moment I wake to the moment I sleep.
Around a year ago, I found my worries 21 me down and down. I needed a way to reduce my
22 and make them disappear. Then a brilliant idea occurred to me. Instead of worrying about whatever
23 itself to my consciousness at any given moment, and unless I had a specific and urgent worry to
deal with, I’d 24 myself to worrying about imaginary gluons(物理学胶子).
This new system serve me quite well for a while 25 the day of last month when the captain of
the plane I was travelling on failed in his landing 26 at Shannon Airport, because there was “a
problem” with the landing gear(起落架). We 27 for a while. Then the captain announced the issue
still couldn’t be solved and that the crew would take us through the procedure for an emergency landing.
Suddenly my mother’s voice was in my head：“In the 28 of an emergency, put your head
between your legs and kiss your arse goodbye.” I laughed inwardly at my mother’s joke, and I wondered
why I wasn’t 29 . I suddenly realized I was experiencing a complete and total absence of worry, as
there was absolutely nothing I could do to 30 the problem with the plane.
As the runway rose to meet our plane’s 31 underbelly and the firefighters race to meet us, I felt a
strange and beautiful 32 . And as the plane landed perfectly—because, as it 33 , the problem was
with a sensor and not with the landing gear—and people cheer and hugged one another, I realized I wasn’t
a 34 at all. The absence of worry I had just experienced was 35 an absence of any possibility of
control. So I’m a control freak, wanting to control everything.
And now I’m terribly worried about that.
21．A．let B．put C．dragged D．calmed

Chinese Olympic champion Sun Yang was 36 (initial) cleared of wrongdoing by FINA, the

Agency(WADA) to the Court of Arbitration for Sport(CAS), the decision has 37 (turn) over. An
eight-year ban was given on Sun because this was his second 38 (offend). Sun told China’s Xinhua
news agency that he planned to appeal 39 the decision. He said, “This is 40 (fair). I firmly
believe in my innocence.” CAS said its decision can be challenged before the Swiss Federal Tribunal
within 30 41 (day). Sun told an appeal hearing in November that he missed a test because testers failed
42 (prove) their identity when they arrived at this home. He also denied that a vial(小瓶) 43
(contain) his blood samples was smashed(砸碎) by him with 44 hammer. The three-time Olympic

第二节 （满分 25 分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词
数应为 150 左右。I had been swimming competitively for five years and was ready to quit because I felt I was horrible at
it. I was often the only African American at a swimming competition. I kept receiving “Honourable
Mentions”. Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honourable Mentions”,
which you get just because you showed up.
One summer day, the day before a big swim meet, I decided to break the news to my grandma that I
was quitting the swim team. When I told her of my desire to quit swimming, she looked me into my face,
saying firmly but warmly, “Baby, remember these words ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your
grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that meet tomorrow, and you swim like you are a
grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.”
The next day we arrived at the swim meet late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age
group. My coach insisted I be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew she was including me in the
race so our long drive(车程) would not be wasted, and she had no expectations whatsoever(无论什么) that
I would come in anything but eighth place and only that because there were not nine lanes.
As I was mounting(走上) the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls
were here to do one thing—beat me! All of a sudden my grandma’s words rang in my head：“Quitters
never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine. Quitters never win and
winners never quit...” “Yes, grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours, ” I said to myself.

One Possible Version：
SPLASH(扑通一声)! I was swimming harder than I’d ever swum before. As I drew my right arm back,
I noticed I was tied with one person. I assumed we were battling for eighth place and I refused to finish
dead last, so I added more kick on the last 200 yards. I hit the wall and looked to the left and to the right for
the swimmers who had beat me, but no one was there. They must have gotten out of the water already.
Just then, cheers and claps overwhelmed me. I raised my head to see my coach screaming
hysterically(歇斯底里地). My eyes followed her pointing finger and I couldn’t believe what I saw. The
other swimmers had just reached the halfway point of the pool! That day, at age 15, I broke the national
17/18yearold 400freestyle record. I hung up my honourable mentions and replaced them with a huge
trophy. “Yes, grandma, you’re right. Quitters never win and winners never quit.”
