34、dy suggests that dogs go through a _17_ phase of stubbornness and disobedience when they hit puberty (青春期) at about eight months old.Looking at the behavior of a total of 378 dogs, researchers found that the animals were more obedient and more _18_ on either side of that eight-month periodbut only w
35、hen it came to their owners, not to less familiar trainers.So not only do dogs _19_ to have a difficult puberty just like we do, they also share the _20_ that we often feel towards our parents or caregivers when we hit our teenage years. That means a lot to long-term puppy care and _21_.“This is a v
36、ery important time in a dogs life,” says animal _22_ researcher Lucy Asher, from Newcastle University in the UK. “This is when dogs are often rehomed because they are no longer a cute little puppy and suddenly, their owners find they are more _23_ and they can no longer control them or train them.”“
37、But as with human teenage children, owners need to be aware that their dog is going through a phase and it will pass.”In one experiment with 93 Labrador retrievers golden retrievers and their cross breeds, the dogs at eight months old were found to take longer and be more reluctant to respond to a s

The eight-month-olds didnt show the same stubbornness when the command was given by a stranger, though.The researchers found further evidence of this effect in survey data gathered on 285 Labradors, golden retrievers, German
39、shepherds and their cross breeds. Dog owners and trainers less familiar with the dogs were asked to _25_ the animals trainability by answering questions on obedience and how quickly commands were responded to.Again, the caregivers ranked their dogs as less obedient at eight months old compared with
40、five months old or 12 months old. The trainers reported the _26_ obedience between the ages of five months and eight months.【答案】17. J 18. D 19. C 20. K 21. F 22. A 23. B 24. G 25. H 26.

48、obedient and more _2 _ on either side of that eight-month period”可知,8个月大狗的服从性是较高的。因此,形容词应用来表达“高的;上升的”含义。选项E“increased”,可作形容词,意为“增强的”,符合分析。故选E项。【点睛】如何确定空格为形容词(1)空格处前面或者后面为名词的,空格处应填入形容词;(2)空格处前面是副词的,空格处应填入形容词;(3)空格处前面是系动词或be动词的,空格处应填入形容词作表语。比如文章的第7题:“This is when dogs are often rehomed because they ar
49、e no longer a cute little puppy and suddenly, their owners find they are more _7_ and they can no longer control them or train them.”分析可知,第7题符合原则(3)空格处前面是系动词或be动词的,因此空格处应填入形容词作表语。结合句意进一步分析,“they can no longer control them or train them”可知,此阶段的狗是难驯养的。选项B“challenging”,形容词,意为“困难的;有挑战性的”,符合语境。故选B项。III.

87、.42. What was the authors attitude towards students forging the excuse notes at the beginning of the story?A. FavorableB. UnconcernedC. NegativeD. Critical43. By saying “I was having an idea” (Para. 4), the author probably means that _.A. he decided to read all the excuse notes to the studentsB. he
88、realized that Mikey was good at writing excuse notesC. he understood why so many students forged excuse notesD. he found that the excuse notes could be used in writing class44.

90、去吃午饭。42题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段I had seen Mikey writing the note at his desk, using his left hand to change his handwriting. I said nothing. Students had been forging (伪造) excuse notes since they learned to write, and if I were to confront each forger Id be busy 24 hours a day.可知我曾见过迈克在他的书桌上写纸条,用他的左手改变他的笔迹。我
91、什么也没说。自从学生们学会写字以来,他们就一直在伪造假条,如果我要去和每个伪造假条的人对质,我就会一天忙上24个小时。由此可推知,在故事开始时,作者对学生伪造假条的态度是漠不关心。故选B。【43题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段“This is the first class to study the art of the excuse note and practice writing them. Youre so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subjec
92、t worthy of study.”可知“这是第一堂学习假条的艺术并练习书写的课。你真幸运,有我这样的老师,把你最好的作品转化成值得研究的课题。”由此可推知,作者说“I was having an idea”的意思是他发现借口笔记可以在写作课上使用。故选D。【44题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中The writing ranged from imaginative to senseless.可知这篇文章既有想象力,也有毫无意义的。以及倒数第四段Everyone smiled as I went on, “You didnt settle for the old alarm clock sto

102、里的食物是从哪里开始的。故选C项。(C)In the mid-1980s, a study compared mtDNA from people around the world. It found that people of African descent (后裔) had twice as many genetic differences from each other than as did others. Because mutations (基因突变) seem to occur at a steady rate over time, scientists were able to
103、 conclude that modern humans must have lived in Africa at least twice as long as anywhere else. They now calculate that all living humans descend from a single woman who lived roughly 150,000 years ago in Africa, Eve. If geneticists are right, all of humanity is linked to Eve through an unbroken cha

DNA studies have confirmed that all the people on Earth, with all their shapes and colors, can trace their ancestry to ancient Africans.What seems certain is that at a remarkably recen
105、t dateprobably between 50,000 and 70,000 years agoone small group of people, the ancestors of modern humans outside of Africa, left Africa for western Asia, either by migrating around the northern end of the Red Sea or across its narrow southern opening.Once in Asia, genetic evidence suggests, the p

Moving a little further with each new generation, they followed the coast around the Arabian Peninsula, India, and Southeast Asia, all the way to Austra
107、lia. The movement was probably unnoticeable, says Spencer Wells. It was less of a journey and probably more like walking a little farther down the beach to get away from the crowd.Although archeological evidence of this 13,000-kilometer (8,000-mile) migration from Africa to Australia has almost comp
108、letely disappeared, genetic traces of the group that made the trip do exist. They have been found in the DNA of native peoples in the Andaman Islands near Myanmar, in Malaysia, and in Papua New Guinea, and in the DNA of nearly all Australian aborigines (土著). Modern discoveries of 45,000-year-old bod
109、ies in Australia, buried at a site called Lake Mungo, provide some physical evidence for the theories as well.People in the rest of Asia and Europe share different but equally ancient mtDNA and mutations. The mutations which they possess show that most are descendants of the group that stayed in the
110、 Middle East for thousands of years before moving on. Perhaps about 40,000 years ago, modern humans first advanced into Europe.47. What happened to the first group of humans that moved from Africa into Asia?A. Most of the migrants turned back into Africa.B. They separated into two groups.C. Most of

Migrating Out of Africa(迁出非洲)可以作文本文标题,故选D项。(D)Pessimism VS. ProgressFASTER, CHEAPER, BE
118、TTERtechnology is one field many people rely on to offer a vision of a brighter future. As the 2020s dawns, however, optimism is in short supply. The new technologies that have dominated the past decade seem to be making things worse. Social media was supposed to bring people together, but today, it
119、 is better known for invading privacy. Parents worry that smartphones have turned their children into screen-addicted zombies.This depressed mood is centered on smartphones and social media, which took off a decade ago. However, concerns have arisen that particular technologies might be doing more h
120、arm than good. The 1920s witness a resistance to cars, which had earlier been seen as a miraculous answer to the problem of horse-drawn vehicles. In the 1970s, the depression was prompted by concerns about environmental damage and the prospect of nuclear accidents. In each of these historical cases,
121、 disappointment arose from a mix of unrealized hopes and unforeseen consequences. Technology produces the forces of creative destruction, which replaces the outdated production units, so it is natural that it leads to anxiety. For any given technology, its drawbacks sometimes seem to outweigh its be
122、nefits. When this happens with several technologies at the same time, as it does today, the result is a wider sense of techno-pessimism.However, this pessimism can be overdone. Too often people focus on the disadvantages of a new technology while taking its benefits for granted. Worries about screen
123、 time should be weighed against the instant access to information and entertainment that smartphones make possible. Efforts to avoid the short-term cost associated with a new technology will end up denying access to its long-term benefits. Fears that robots will steal peoples jobs may promote govern
124、ments to tax them, for example, to discourage their use, but in the long run, countries that wish to maintain their standard of living as their workforce ages and shrinks will need more robots, not fewer.That points to another lesson: the remedy for technology-related problems very often involves mo
125、re technology. Airbags and other improvements in safety features, for example, mean that in America, deaths in car accidents per billion miles travelled have fallen from around 240 in the 1920s to around 12 today.The most important lesson is about technology itself. Any powerful technology can be us
126、ed for good or ill. Biotechnology, for example, can raise crop yields and cure diseases, but it could equally lead to deadly weapons.Technology itself is neutral. It is the choices people make about it that shape the world. Will technology lead to pessimism or progress? The question should be settle
127、d by a broad debate, not by a small group of technologists.50. The word “prompted” in paragraph 2 probably means _.A. causedB. preventedC. relievedD. removed51. According to the author, pessimism over new technologies is often resulted from the fact that _.A. technological innovations hardly cause u
128、nexpected problemsB. people assume the faults of new technologies to be naturalC. new technologies tend to emerge with uncertainty about futureD. new technologies cause more disadvantages than advantages52. By writing this article, the author mainly wanted to argue that _.A. optimism over new techno

130、论文。短文论述了科技真的使我们的生活变得更好吗?【50题详解】猜测词义题。根据第二段 In the 1970s, the depression was prompted by concerns about environmental damage and the prospect of nuclear accidents.可知,上世纪70年代,人口过剩、环境破坏和核毁灭的前景引发了人们的担忧。从而导致了这种沮丧情绪。由此判断出,划线词的意思是“导致”。故选A。.【51题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段For any given technology, its drawbacks sometimes
131、 seem to outweigh its benefits. When this happens with several technologies at the same time, as it does today, the result is a wider sense of techno-pessimism.可知,对于任何给定的技术,它的缺点有时似乎超过了它的好处。当这种情况同时发生在几项技术上时,就像如今,结果是一种更广泛的技术悲观主义。由此判断出,作者认为,对新技术的悲观往往是由于新技术弊大于利。故选D。【52题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段Technology itself i
132、s neutral. It is the choices people make about it that shape the world.技术本身没有能动性:是人们对它的选择塑造了世界。由此判断出通过写这篇文章,作者主要想论证人们在使用新技术时的明智决定真的很重要。故选D。(E)Can You Trust Your Brain?Your brain lies to you a lot.
