Interspecies was once a technical term used in science to describe how one species got along with another. Now it is a word of more consequence: it arouses the new connections between humans and non-humans that are being made possible by technology. In Ways of Being, James Bridle, a British artist and technology writer, explores what this means for understanding the many non-human intelligences on Earth.
Mr Bridle makes clear that three kinds of minds are now interacting: human, non-human and machine. Using artificial intelligence (AI), machines will in future have the capability to interpose (使介入) themselves as translators between humans and other biological life forms.
It is true that profit is the main motive for advances in AI; as yet nature does not get much of a look in, and non-human intelligences go unexplored outside zoology puting is currently as focused on humans as ever, even as climate change and biodiversity-loss suggest it should devote much greater attention to other species.
The first step towards an interspecies future, Mr Bridle argues, is showing more appreciation for other forms of intelligence. To some extent, this is already happening. For example, through films and other sources many people now know that octopuses (章鱼) have an advanced and strange intelligence. The next step, Mr Bridle declares, is recognizing that people live in a “more than human” world. Other intelligences have developed from a common evolutionary base, and they overlap (重叠) in ways that science is just beginning to discover.
Ways of Being would have benefited from sharper editing. Yet, in making clear the patience, imagination and humility (谦卑) required to better know and protect other forms of intelligence on Earth, he has made an admirable contribution to the dawning interspecies age.
4. Which of the following best illustrates the term “interspecies”
A. A wolf hunts a rabbit. B. A robot does housework.
C. A lady walks her dog. D. A boy records a video for squirrels
5. What does Al put emphasis (强调) on nowadays
A. Humans. B. Other species. C. Biodiversity. D. Climate change
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The characteristics of species evolution.
B. Expectations for the future development of AI.
C. Suggestions on future exploration of interspecies.
D. The importance of appreciation for other forms of intelligence.
7. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to Ways of Being
A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Conservative.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能正在改变人们与其他生物之间的关系。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Interspecies was once a technical term used in science to describe how one species got along with another. Now it is a word of more consequence: it arouses the new connections between humans and non-humans that are being made possible by technology. (种间关系曾经是一个科学术语，用来描述一个物种如何与另一个物种相处。现在，它是一个更重要的词：它唤起了人类和非人类之间的新联系，而这种联系正因技术而成为可能。)”可知，“种间关系”这个术语是指人类和非人类之间的新联系。由此推断，“一个男孩给松鼠录了一段视频”最能说明这个术语所表述的含义。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Computing is currently as focused on humans as ever, even as climate change and biodiversity-loss suggest it should devote much greater attention to other species. (尽管气候变化和生物多样性丧失表明计算机应该更多地关注其他物种，但它现在仍然一如既往地关注人类)”可知，现在人工智能的重点是人类。故选A。
6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The first step towards an interspecies future, Mr Bridle argues, is showing more appreciation for other forms of intelligence. (布瑞德先生认为，迈向跨物种未来的第一步是对其他形式的智力表现出更多的欣赏。)”和“The next step, Mr Bridle declares, is recognizing that people live in a “more than human” world. ( 布瑞德先生宣称，下一步是认识到人们生活在一个“超越人类”的世界。)”可知，本段主要介绍对未来物种间探索的建议。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ways of Being would have benefited from sharper editing. Yet, in making clear the patience, imagination and humility(谦卑) required to better know and protect other forms of intelligence on Earth, he has made an admirable contribution to the dawning interspecies age. (《存在之道》本可以从更尖锐的剪辑中获益。然而，在阐明更好地了解和保护地球上其他形式的智能所需的耐心、想象力和谦逊方面，它为跨物种时代的到来做出了令人钦佩的贡献。)”可推断，作者对《存在之道》的态度是赞同的。故选B。

For anyone coming of age (成年) in the last 60 years, Lego has been a long-standing friend. The tiny plastic bricks that fit together have provided great pleasure for generations.
In 1932, Christiansen founded the construction toy company the Lego Group. By 1949, his company began producing tiny plastic building bricks that children seemed to love. Nine years later, the Lego bricks took shape. Lego also kept pace with technology. Through the 1980s, Lego sets began to include electric lights and sound-making equipment. But by 2003, Lego nearly went broke (破产) as the firm dealt with changing play habits. Kids were more interested in playing video games and surfing the Internet than playing with Lego bricks.
The company took quick action. Within 10 years, Lego achieved great success. It was mainly because of Lego’s Future Lab. The lab was made up of 50 or so researchers, scientists and designers. Their job was to invent new play experiences for children. To that end, the company joined hands with universities and others in the hope of finding out what kids wanted. And the effort finally paid off.
“From the youngest builders to adults, we have a Lego solution for every builder of any age, building skill and interest for any play occasion,” Amanda Madore, senior manager at Lego Systems Inc, said. “We focus on what the brand means to children—both physically and digitally—and we continue to serve their needs, so we believe our business potential is as limitless as our play material.”
Although Lego bricks have always been fun to play with, research has shown they can be central to a child’s education and cognitive acuity (认知敏锐度). Specifically, Lego bricks are an important tool that can help children with autism (自闭症). Research has found that children with autism become more social and communicative while playing with the bricks in group settings. Part of the reason is that Lego requires children to communicate, set rules, make decisions and work with others. In this sense, Lego bricks are hard to replace.
8. Why did the Lego Group face great challenges in the early 2000s
A. It failed to keep up with the times. B. Its after-sale service was poor.
C. Its original customers had grow up. D. It paid too much attention to technology.
9. What can we infer from Amanda Madore’s words
A. The company mainly aims to attract kids. B. Lego bricks are of really high quality.
C. Lego bricks help deal with mental problems. D. The company will satisfy individual needs.
10. What can we conclude about Lego bricks from the last paragraph
A. They can be regarded as a treatment. B. They can promote communication.
C. They can improve education systems. D. They can take the place of other toys.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. When Lego became popular. B. Why Lego has stood the test of time.
C. What Lego has taught builders. D. How Lego bricks were created.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了乐高积木在遇到瓶颈时迅速采取行动，取得巨大成功，挽救公司濒临倒闭的危机。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段倒数最后两句话“But by 2003, Lego nearly went broke (破产) as the firm dealt with changing play habits. Kids were more interested in playing video games and surfing the Internet than playing with Lego bricks.(但到2003年，由于公司应对不断变化的游戏习惯，乐高几乎破产。比起玩乐高积木，孩子们更喜欢玩电子游戏和上网)”可知，在21世纪乐面对很大的挑战是因为孩子们的游戏习惯发生变化，他们更喜欢玩电子游戏和上网，而乐高并没有紧跟时代，做出调整。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段Amanda Madore说的话“From the youngest builders to adults, we have a Lego solution for every builder of any age, building skill and interest for any play occasion(从最年轻的建筑商到成年人，我们为每个年龄、建筑技能和兴趣的建筑商提供了乐高解决方案，适合任何游戏场合)”以及“We focus on what the brand means to children—both physically and digitally—and we continue to serve their needs, so we believe our business potential is as limitless as our play material.(我们专注于品牌对儿童的意义——无论是身体上的还是数字上的——我们继续满足他们的需求，所以我们相信我们的商业潜力和我们的游戏材料一样是无限的)”可推知，乐高公司会满足个人的需求，为人们设计出他们喜欢的产品。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三句话“Specifically, Lego bricks are an important tool that can help children with autism (自闭症). Research has found that children with autism become more social and communicative while playing with the bricks in group settings. (具体来说，乐高积木是一种可以帮助自闭症儿童的重要工具。研究发现，自闭症儿童在集体环境中玩积木时，会变得更善于社交和交流)”可推知，乐高积木可以促进交流，从而帮助自闭症的患者。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“The company took quick action. Within 10 years, Lego achieved great success.(公司迅速采取了行动。在10年内，乐高取得了巨大的成功)”和第四段““From the youngest builders to adults, we have a Lego solution for every builder of any age, building skill and interest for any play occasion,” Amanda Madore, senior manager at Lego Systems Inc, said. “We focus on what the brand means to children—both physically and digitally—and we continue to serve their needs, so we believe our business potential is as limitless as our play material.”(乐高系统公司高级经理阿曼达·马多雷说:“从最年轻的建设者到成年人，我们为任何年龄、任何技能和任何游戏场合的每个建设者提供了乐高解决方案。”“我们专注于这个品牌对孩子们的意义——无论是实体的还是数字的——我们将继续满足他们的需求，所以我们相信我们的商业潜力和我们的游戏材料一样是无限的。”)”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍了乐高在21世纪初即将破产时，迅速采取行动，取得了巨大成功，挽救公司濒临倒闭的危机。所以“为什么乐高经受住了时间的考验。”为本文的主旨大意。故选B。
D
Animal appear to predict earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air — the first study to find reliable evidence of the phenomenon has shown.
Cameras revealed an “amazing” drop in the number of animals up to 23 days before a major quake hit their rainforest home at Yanachaga National Park in Peru. Lead scientist Dr Rachel Grant, from Anglia Ruskin University, said, “The results showed that just before the earthquake, animals’ activity dropped right down.”
On a normal day the cameras placed around Yanachaga National Park record between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days before the earthquake, the number of animals dropped to five or fewer per day. No animals were photographed at all on five of the seven days immediately before the quake.
Another study showed that animal activity remained normal in the park over a different period when seismic (地震的) activity was low. Co-author, professor Friedemann Freund, said, “The cameras were located at an altitude of 900 meters. If air ionization occurred, the animals would escape to the valley below, where there were fewer positive ions ( 离子). With their ability to sense their environment, animals can help us understand small changes that occur before major earthquakes.”
Other evidence suggested that before the earthquake, the air around the high mountain sites filled with positive ions that can be produced when rocks are placed under stress. Positive ions have been known to cause ill effects in humans as well as animals. Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. They are thought to have escaped to lower ground, where the air was less ionized. The findings may help experts develop better short-term seismic forecasts.
12 How did scientists conduct the study
A. By comparing different animals’ habits.
B. By observing animals in high mountains.
C. By explaining the positive ion phenomenon.
D. By analyzing images of animals they obtained.
13. What can be inferred from animal activity before earthquakes
A. The ground at a lower altitude is less ionized.
B. Cameras normally record more animals per day.
C. Earthquake warnings can be detected in lower places.
D. The activity of animals and earthquakes is consistent.
14. What can we learn from the text
A. The findings make for accurate seismic forecast.
B. Animals tend to be uneasy with more positive ions.
C. Positive ions make humans and animals depressed.
D. All the animals remain abnormal before the earthquake.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Negative Influence of Positive Ions.
B. Ions’ Destruction to the Environment.
C. Animals’ Behavior Before Earthquakes.
D. Creatures’ Ability to Predict Earthquakes.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项有可靠证据研究，动物似乎通过感应空气中的电流来预测地震。科学家通过摄像机记录下地震前后捕捉到的动物行为的变化证明了这一项研究的可靠性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“On a normal day the cameras placed around Yanachaga National Park record between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days before the earthquake, the number of animals dropped to five or fewer per day. No animals were photographed at all on five of the seven days immediately before the quake. (在平常的一天，放置在Yanachaga国家公园周围的摄像机记录了5到15只动物。但在地震前的23天，动物的数量下降到每天5只或更少。在地震前的七天中，有五天根本没有拍摄到任何动物)”可知，在地震前后摄像机捕捉到的动物的图像的数量是有所变化的。由此可知，科学家通过分析他们获得的动物图像进行这项研究的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. They are thought to have escaped to lower ground, where the air was less ionized. (科学家认为，这些动物被正离子弄得感觉不舒服，导致它们避开该区域。他们被认为逃到了较低的地面，那里的空气电离程度较低。)”可知，从地震前的动物活动中可以推断出海拔较低的地面电离程度较低。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到“Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. (科学家认为，这些动物被正离子弄得感觉不舒服，导致它们避开该区域。)”可知，我们能从文章中了解到动物往往对较多的正离子感到不安。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。主要介绍了一项有可靠证据的研究，动物似乎通过感应空气中的电流来预测地震。科学家通过摄像机记录下地震前后捕捉到的动物行为的变化证明了这一项研究的可靠性。文章第一段讲到“Animal appear to predict earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air — the first study to find reliable evidence of the phenomenon has shown.(动物似乎可以通过感知空气中的电力来预测地震—这是第一项发现这种现象可靠证据的研究。)”可知，C项“地震前动物的行为”适合这篇文章的标题。故选C。

“Party Cries” In Ireland
Mark Twain
Belfast is a peculiarly religious community. This may be said of the whole of the North of Ireland. About one-half of the people are convinced Protestants (清教徒) and the other half Catholics (天主教徒). Each party does all it can ____36____(make) its own doctrines (信条) popular and draw the affections of the irreligious toward them.____37____hears constantly of the most touching instances of this passion. A week ago a vast crowd of Catholics assembled at Armagh to dedicate a new church; and when they started home again the roadways ____38____ (line) with groups of meek and lowly Protestants who stoned them ____39____all the region round about was marked with blood. I thought that only Catholics argued in that way,____40____it seems to be a mistake.
Every man in the community acts like a minister and carries a brick to argue against ____41____holds different ideas. The law has tried to break this up, but not with perfect success. The law says that persons uttering (说) irritating “party cries”____42____be fined forty shillings (先令) and costs. And so, in the police court reports every day, one sees these fines ____43____ (record). Last week a girl of twelve years old was fined the usual forty shillings and costs ____44____claiming in the public streets that she was “a Protestant.” The usual cry is, “To hell with the Pope!” or “To hell with the Protestants!” according to the utterer's system of salvation.
One of Belfast's local jokes was very good. It referred to the uniform and inevitable fine of forty shillings and costs for uttering a party cry--and it is no economical fine for a poor man, either, by the way. They say that a policeman found a drunken man lying on the ground, up a dark alley,_____45_____ (amuse) himself with shouting, “To hell with! To hell with!” The officer smelt a fine--informers get half.
“What’s that you say ”
“To hell with!”
“To hell with who To hell with what ”
“Ah, ye can finish it yourself--it's too expensive for me!”
I think the seditious disposition (倾向), restrained by the economical instinct, is finely put in that.
【答案】36. to make
37. One 38. were lined
39. till 40. but
41. who 42. shall
43. recorded
44. for 45. amusing
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。是马克·吐温短篇小说《爱尔兰的“教派口号”》的节选改编。
【36题详解】
考查不定式。句意：每一个政党都尽其所能使自己的教义广受欢迎，并吸引非宗教人士对他们的喜爱。分析句意可知，make“使得”需要改为不定式形式，作目的状语。故填to make。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意：人们经常听到这种激情最感人的例子。分析句意可知，此处需要使用代词one作主语，表示“普通大众，人们”。故填One。
【38题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：一周前，大批天主教徒聚集在Armagh，准备为一座新教堂举行落成典礼；当他们再次回家时，道路两旁排满了一群温顺而卑微的新教徒，他们用石头砸他们，直到周围的地区都被鲜血染红。分析句意可知，谓语动词line“沿……排列成行”需要使用被动语态，因为其与主语the roadways“道路”构成动宾关系，且故事已经发生，使用一般过去时即可。故填were lined。
【39题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意：一周前，大批天主教徒聚集在Armagh，准备为一座新教堂举行落成典礼；当他们再次回家时，道路两旁排满了一群温顺而卑微的新教徒，他们用石头砸他们，直到周围的地区都被鲜血染红。分析句意可知，空格处需要填写连词引导时间状语从句，根据句意“新教徒用石头砸人，直到砸得到处都是鲜血才停下”可知，till“直到”符合语境。故填till。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：我以为只有天主教徒会这样争论，但这似乎是个错误。根据下文“Every man in the community acts like a minister (社区里的每个人都像牧师)”可知并不只有天主教徒会这样争论，每个人都会，因此空格所在句是由存在转折关系的两个并列句构成的，需要使用but“但是”连接。故填but。
【41题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：社区里的每个人都像牧师一样，拿着一块砖头来反对持不同观点的人。分析句意可知，空格处应该使用关系代词who引导作介词against的宾语从句，且在句中作主语。 故填who。
【42题详解】
考查情态动词。句意：法律规定，发出令人恼火的“教派口号”的人将被罚款40先令和费用。分析句意可知，空格处应该使用情态动词shall表示对将来肯定的推测，即如果发出“教派口号”将被罚款。故填shall。
【43题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：因此，在警察法庭每天的报告中，人们都会看到这些罚款记录在案。分析句意可知，动词record“记录”应该使用过去分词形式作定语修饰fines“罚款”，因为两个为动宾关系，故使用过去分词形式。故填recorded。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：上周，一名12岁的女孩因在公共街道上声称自己是“新教徒”而被处以40先令的罚款。分析句意可知，空格处填写介词for表示原因，即女孩被罚款是因为称自己是新教徒。故填for。
【45题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：他们说，一名警察在一条黑暗的小巷里发现一个醉汉躺在地上，自我娱乐地大喊道：“见鬼去！见鬼去！”分析句意可知，动词amuse“使开心”需要使用现在分词形式amusing作宾语补足语，因为此处表示的是宾语a drunken man“一个醉汉”的持续性动作。故填amusing。

Should high school students have a two-day weekend
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Should high school students have a two-day weekend
I don’t think it is a good idea. The reasons are as follows.
With a two-day weekend, students may spend too much time playing and fail to get enough rest. After all, not everyone is proud of their self-control. What’s more, the entertainments that they enjoy during weekends will somewhat distract them from their studies. Additionally, high school students need more time and efforts to advance academically or catch up with their schoolwork.
Therefore, a shorter school week doesn’t make sense.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生就“高中生应该有两天的周末吗？”写一篇短文投稿。
【详解】1.词汇积累
为……感到骄傲：be proud of→ take pride in
足够的：enough→ adequate
使分心：distract→ divert

第二节（满分25分）
47. 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。
Bobby was getting cold sitting out in his backyard in the snow. Bobby didn’t wear boots; or rather, he didn’t own any. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them and they did a poor job of keeping out the cold.
Bobby had been in his backyard for about an hour already. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift. He shook his head as he thought, “This is useless. Even if I do come up with an idea, I don’t have any money for a gift.”
Wiping tears from his eyes, Bobby started walking down to the street where the shops were. It wasn’t easy being six without a father, especially when he needed a man to talk to.
Bobby walked from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window. Everything seemed so beautiful but so out of reach. It was starting to get dark and Bobby reluctantly turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the glimmer (微光) of the setting sun’s rays reflecting on something on the roadside. He reached down and discovered a shiny dime (10美分硬币).
Never before has anyone felt as wealthy as Bobby did at that moment. As he held his newly-found treasure, warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store. His excitement quickly turned cold when salesperson told him that he could not buy anything with only a dime.
He saw a flower shop and went inside to wait in line. When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother’s Christmas gift. The shop owner looked at Bobby and his offering ten-cent. Then he put his hand on Bobby’s shoulder, saying. “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”
The sound of the door closing as the last customer left pulled Bobby back to reality. All alone in the shop, Bobby began to feel alone and afraid.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Eventually the shop owner came out and moved to the counter.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
With the bunch of beautiful roses in his hands, Bobby backed off and then turned and ran.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Eventually the shop owner came out and moved to the counter. There, before Bobby’s eyes, lay twelve red roses, with leaves of green and tiny white flowers all tied together with a big silver tape. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man.” the shop owner said, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime. “Could this be true ” he wondered.
With the bunch of beautiful roses in his hands, Bobby backed off and then turned and ran. Within minutes, he was at home, still breathless. “Look, Mother, what have I got for you ” Bobby called out in the backyard. Mother came out from inside the house. She could hardly believe her eyes upon seeing the beautiful flowers in front of her. “Merry Christmas!” Bobby said and began to tell her everything he had experienced in the flower shop. Tearfully, Mother hugged her son in her arms. Standing in the bitter cold air, they somehow didn’t feel cold at all.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Bobby想给母亲送一束花作为圣诞节礼物，但是没有足够的钱。好心的店主于是便宜把花卖给了他，Bobby送花给母亲，母亲十分感动。

Interspecies was once a technical term used in science to describe how one species got along with another. Now it is a word of more consequence: it arouses the new connections between humans and non-humans that are being made possible by technology. In Ways of Being, James Bridle, a British artist and technology writer, explores what this means for understanding the many non-human intelligences on Earth.
Mr Bridle makes clear that three kinds of minds are now interacting: human, non-human and machine. Using artificial intelligence (AI), machines will in future have the capability to interpose (使介入) themselves as translators between humans and other biological life forms.
It is true that profit is the main motive for advances in AI; as yet nature does not get much of a look in, and non-human intelligences go unexplored outside zoology puting is currently as focused on humans as ever, even as climate change and biodiversity-loss suggest it should devote much greater attention to other species.
The first step towards an interspecies future, Mr Bridle argues, is showing more appreciation for other forms of intelligence. To some extent, this is already happening. For example, through films and other sources many people now know that octopuses (章鱼) have an advanced and strange intelligence. The next step, Mr Bridle declares, is recognizing that people live in a “more than human” world. Other intelligences have developed from a common evolutionary base, and they overlap (重叠) in ways that science is just beginning to discover.
Ways of Being would have benefited from sharper editing. Yet, in making clear the patience, imagination and humility (谦卑) required to better know and protect other forms of intelligence on Earth, he has made an admirable contribution to the dawning interspecies age.
4. Which of the following best illustrates the term “interspecies”
A. A wolf hunts a rabbit. B. A robot does housework.
C. A lady walks her dog. D. A boy records a video for squirrels
5. What does Al put emphasis (强调) on nowadays
A. Humans. B. Other species. C. Biodiversity. D. Climate change
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The characteristics of species evolution.
B. Expectations for the future development of AI.
C. Suggestions on future exploration of interspecies.
D. The importance of appreciation for other forms of intelligence.
7 Which word best describes the author’s attitude to Ways of Being
A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Conservative.
C
For anyone coming of age (成年) in the last 60 years, Lego has been a long-standing friend. The tiny plastic bricks that fit together have provided great pleasure for generations.
In 1932, Christiansen founded the construction toy company the Lego Group. By 1949, his company began producing tiny plastic building bricks that children seemed to love. Nine years later, the Lego bricks took shape. Lego also kept pace with technology. Through the 1980s, Lego sets began to include electric lights and sound-making equipment. But by 2003, Lego nearly went broke (破产) as the firm dealt with changing play habits. Kids were more interested in playing video games and surfing the Internet than playing with Lego bricks.
The company took quick action. Within 10 years, Lego achieved great success. It was mainly because of Lego’s Future Lab. The lab was made up of 50 or so researchers, scientists and designers. Their job was to invent new play experiences for children. To that end, the company joined hands with universities and others in the hope of finding out what kids wanted. And the effort finally paid off.
“From the youngest builders to adults, we have a Lego solution for every builder of any age, building skill and interest for any play occasion,” Amanda Madore, senior manager at Lego Systems Inc, said. “We focus on what the brand means to children—both physically and digitally—and we continue to serve their needs, so we believe our business potential is as limitless as our play material.”
Although Lego bricks have always been fun to play with, research has shown they can be central to a child’s education and cognitive acuity (认知敏锐度). Specifically, Lego bricks are an important tool that can help children with autism (自闭症). Research has found that children with autism become more social and communicative while playing with the bricks in group settings. Part of the reason is that Lego requires children to communicate, set rules, make decisions and work with others. In this sense, Lego bricks are hard to replace.

Animal appear to predict earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air — the first study to find reliable evidence of the phenomenon has shown
Cameras revealed an “amazing” drop in the number of animals up to 23 days before a major quake hit their rainforest home at Yanachaga National Park in Peru. Lead scientist Dr Rachel Grant, from Anglia Ruskin University, said, “The results showed that just before the earthquake, animals’ activity dropped right down.”
On a normal day the cameras placed around Yanachaga National Park record between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days before the earthquake, the number of animals dropped to five or fewer per day. No animals were photographed at all on five of the seven days immediately before the quake.
Another study showed that animal activity remained normal in the park over a different period when seismic (地震的) activity was low. Co-author, professor Friedemann Freund, said, “The cameras were located at an altitude of 900 meters. If air ionization occurred, the animals would escape to the valley below, where there were fewer positive ions ( 离子). With their ability to sense their environment, animals can help us understand small changes that occur before major earthquakes.”
Other evidence suggested that before the earthquake, the air around the high mountain sites filled with positive ions that can be produced when rocks are placed under stress. Positive ions have been known to cause ill effects in humans as well as animals. Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. They are thought to have escaped to lower ground, where the air was less ionized. The findings may help experts develop better short-term seismic forecasts.
12. How did scientists conduct the study
A. By comparing different animals’ habits.
B. By observing animals in high mountains.
C. By explaining the positive ion phenomenon.
D. By analyzing images of animals they obtained.
13. What can be inferred from animal activity before earthquakes
A. The ground at a lower altitude is less ionized.
B. Cameras normally record more animals per day.
C. Earthquake warnings can be detected in lower places.
D. The activity of animals and earthquakes is consistent.
14. What can we learn from the text
A. The findings make for accurate seismic forecast.
B Animals tend to be uneasy with more positive ions.
C. Positive ions make humans and animals depressed.
D. All the animals remain abnormal before the earthquake.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Negative Influence of Positive Ions.
B. Ions’ Destruction to the Environment.
C. Animals’ Behavior Before Earthquakes.
D. Creatures’ Ability to Predict Earthquakes.

“Party Cries” In Ireland
Mark Twain
Belfast is a peculiarly religious community. This may be said of the whole of the North of Ireland. About one-half of the people are convinced Protestants (清教徒) and the other half Catholics (天主教徒). Each party does all it can ____36____(make) its own doctrines (信条) popular and draw the affections of the irreligious toward them.____37____hears constantly of the most touching instances of this passion. A week ago a vast crowd of Catholics assembled at Armagh to dedicate a new church; and when they started home again the roadways ____38____ (line) with groups of meek and lowly Protestants who stoned them ____39____all the region round about was marked with blood. I thought that only Catholics argued in that way,____40____it seems to be a mistake.
Every man in the community acts like a minister and carries a brick to argue against ____41____holds different ideas. The law has tried to break this up, but not with perfect success. The law says that persons uttering (说) irritating “party cries”____42____be fined forty shillings (先令) and costs. And so, in the police court reports every day, one sees these fines ____43____ (record). Last week a girl of twelve years old was fined the usual forty shillings and costs ____44____claiming in the public streets that she was “a Protestant.” The usual cry is, “To hell with the Pope!” or “To hell with the Protestants!” according to the utterer's system of salvation.
One of Belfast's local jokes was very good. It referred to the uniform and inevitable fine of forty shillings and costs for uttering a party cry--and it is no economical fine for a poor man, either, by the way. They say that a policeman found a drunken man lying on the ground, up a dark alley,_____45_____ (amuse) himself with shouting, “To hell with! To hell with!” The officer smelt a fine--informers get half.
“What’s that you say ”
“To hell with!”
“To hell with who To hell with what ”
“Ah, ye can finish it yourself--it's too expensive for me!”
I think the seditious disposition (倾向), restrained by the economical instinct, is finely put in that.

47. 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。
Bobby was getting cold sitting out in his backyard in the snow. Bobby didn’t wear boots; or rather, he didn’t own any. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them and they did a poor job of keeping out the cold.
Bobby had been in his backyard for about an hour already. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift. He shook his head as he thought, “This is useless. Even if I do come up with an idea, I don’t have any money for a gift.”
Wiping tears from his eyes, Bobby started walking down to the street where the shops were. It wasn’t easy being six without a father, especially when he needed a man to talk to.
Bobby walked from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window. Everything seemed so beautiful but so out of reach. It was starting to get dark and Bobby reluctantly turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the glimmer (微光) of the setting sun’s rays reflecting on something on the roadside. He reached down and discovered a shiny dime (10美分硬币).
Never before has anyone felt as wealthy as Bobby did at that moment. As he held his newly-found treasure, warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store. His excitement quickly turned cold when salesperson told him that he could not buy anything with only a dime.
He saw a flower shop and went inside to wait in line. When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother’s Christmas gift. The shop owner looked at Bobby and his offering ten-cent. Then he put his hand on Bobby’s shoulder, saying. “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”
The sound of the door closing as the last customer left pulled Bobby back to reality. All alone in the shop, Bobby began to feel alone and afraid.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Eventually the shop owner came out and moved to the counter.

Paragraph 2:
With the bunch of beautiful roses in his hands, Bobby backed off and then turned and ran.
