6、 do to pick the most delicious grasses?AFeel them. BSmell them.CObserve them. DTaste them.答案：B解析：细节理解题。由Horses are picky eaters中的“their nervous system allows them to sense smells we cant sense. This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows, eating only the tastiest
7、 grasses”可知，它们的神经系统会让它们感觉到我们人类感觉不到的气味。这或许可以解释为什么它们拒绝饮用脏水，在草地上小心翼翼地走动，只吃最美味的草。所以马是靠嗅觉来挑选最美味的草的。故选B项。2Which animal feels shy when facing strangers?AThe whale. BThe horse.CThe panda. DThe cat.答案：C解析：细节理解题。由Pandas like to be naughty中的“Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its f
8、ace with a paw or ducking its head when confronted by a stranger.”可知，熊猫天生害羞，它们有害羞的行为，比如在遇到陌生人时，用爪子遮住脸，低着头。所以熊猫遇到陌生人时会害羞。故选C项。3What do the whale and the cat have in common according to the passage?AThey have a grateful heart.BThey are quite clever.CThey are active and lovely.DThey have a good sense o

Of course, habits and customs between cul
11、tures and countries tend to overlap (重叠). The popularity of social media, for instance, ignores borders and breaks down cultural differences. Technology has made the world a much smaller and culturally similar place. However, when looking at a foreign country, we will always find differences between
12、 our traditions and theirs. Young Italians and young Americans, for example, though alike in many respects, have also some pronounced differences, especially when it comes to work, pastimes and sports.Most American teens have parttime jobs through high school and college. Youths in Italy tend not to
13、. The reasons behind this are multifaceted. It is, to begin with, rather hard in Italy to find the type of parttime jobs students usually take up. Moreover, there is also a different cultural attitude to take into consideration, especially when thinking of certain parts of Italy. Young Italians like
14、 to enjoy life to the full and feel there will be time to work once they become adults, hence the lack of interest in finding odd jobs while still in school. Like the old saying goes, some Italians work to live, while some Americans often live to work.In a lot of ways, young Italians and Americans s
15、pend their free time in a similar fashion. Listening to music, watching movies, hanging out, practicing sports and surfing the Internet are all common ways to pass some free time. Italians, especially, make a point of going out and being social, often choosing between pizzeria or birrerie (place for
16、 pizza or beer), which stay open late. Italians often pile into a couple of cars and go out in a big group. In general, American teens participate in a lot of extracurricular (课外的) activities, many often through school, while Italians may not take part in so many.When going out, Italian teens tend t
17、o meet and gather on the streets of their cities or towns, something not as common in the United States, especially in highly populated areas. This very Italian habit can be linked to the urban arrangement of Italian towns. Many of them date back thousands of years and feature central piazzas (广场) a
18、nd areas built around historical sites that have now become gathering places for the young. If youre in Italy, dont be surprised by the sight of hundreds gathered in a piazza or on the street, laughing and drinking the night away.这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了意大利年轻人和美国年轻人在对待工作、娱乐方面的一些明显的差异。4The passage is mainly a

20、ns, for example, though alike in many respects, have also some pronounced differences, especially when it comes to work, pastimes and sports.(例如，意大利年轻人和美国年轻人虽然在很多方面都很相似，但也有一些明显的差异，尤其是在工作、娱乐和体育方面。)以及文章主要围绕着美国和意大利年轻人的一些传统差异展开，故选D。5By saying “some Italians work to live, while some Americans often live
21、to work”， the author most probably wants to tell us that _.AItalians have a better life attitude toward workingBAmericans are more diligent and thus live a better lifeCAmericans and Italians both find it hard to locate a satisfying jobDItalians and Americans have different choices regarding work答案：D
22、解析：推理判断题。根据上文Moreover, there is also a different cultural attitude to take into consideration, especially when thinking of certain parts of Italy. Young Italians like to enjoy life to the full and feel there will be time to work once they become adults, hence the lack of interest in finding odd jobs
23、 while still in school.(此外，还有一种不同的文化态度需要考虑，尤其是考虑到意大利的某些地区。年轻的意大利人喜欢尽情享受生活，一旦他们长大成人，就会觉得有时间去工作，因此他们对在校期间找零工不感兴趣。)可知，意大利年轻人是为了生活而去工作，而美国的年轻人工作是为了生活，作者想要通过这句话告诉我们意大利人和美国人在工作上有不同的选择。故选D。6According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is true?AAmerican teens practice sports and surf the Inte
24、rnet to pass time.BItalian youth take an active part in extracurricular activities.CAmerican teens like to drive out and social together in big groups.DItalian youth enjoy pizza and beer because they are cheap.答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中In a lot of ways, young Italians and Americans spend their free time in
25、 a similar fashion. Listening to music, watching movies, hanging out, practicing sports and surfing the Internet are all common ways to pass some free time.(在很多方面，年轻的意大利人和美国人以相似的方式度过他们的空闲时间。听音乐、看电影、出去玩、锻炼身体和上网都是打发空闲时间的常见方式。)可知，美国青少年通过运动和上网来打发时间。故选A。7If there is one more paragraph in this passage, wh
26、at will it most probably be about?AThe working conditions of the young Americans and Italians.BThe differences in practicing sports between teens of the two nations.CThe central piazzas and areas built around historical sites in Italy.DThe urban arrangement of the highly populated American cities.答案
27、：B解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句Young Italians and young Americans, for example, though alike in many respects, have also some pronounced differences, especially when it comes to work, pastimes and sports.(例如，意大利年轻人和美国年轻人虽然在很多方面都很相似，但也有一些明显的差异，尤其是在工作、娱乐和体育方面。)可知，作者想要说明意大利年轻人和美国年轻人在工作、娱乐和体育方面的差异，根据第二段内容可知主要谈论了
28、工作方面的差异，第三、四段谈论了娱乐方面，因此接下来会谈到体育方面的差异。故如果这篇文章中还有一段话，最有可能是关于两国青少年在运动方面的差异。故选B。To help you understand what 5G is, and what it means to you, weve put together a handy guide here.What is 5G? _1_ At its most basic level, 5G will be used to make calls, send texts, and to simply get online. But its going to
29、 be significantly faster than previous generations, and could open the door up to a range of exciting new uses. _2_ 5G will use new higher radio frequencies to send out data, which are less cluttered (挤满的) and carry information much faster. While these higher bands are faster, they dont carry inform
30、ation as far. Thats to say, smaller multiple input and output antennas (天线)will be usedpromoting both signals and capacity(容量). _3_ Why is it better than 4G?5G is expected to be faster than 4G, with some firms claiming it could be as much as 100 times quicker. The fastest 4G networks can deliver pea
31、k download speeds of around 300 Mbit/s. _4_ In real life, this could allow you to download a full HD film in less than 10 seconds! _5_ It means there will be very littleif anydelay when you carry out tasks on a device. While this will help improve things like gaming experiences, it could also pave t
32、he way for safer selfdriving carsin which even a short delay could be lifesaving.Finally, 5G will have a larger capacity, meaning networks will be able to deal with several apps at once. Generally, this should mean that devices have a faster, more stable connection.AHow does 5G work?BHow will 5G aff
33、ect you?C5G is also expected to have a lower latency.D5G is short for “5th generation mobile network”EIn comparison, 5G could offer download speeds of over 1 Gb/s.FTherefore, the similarity between 5G and 4G technology is huge.GThis means 5G will support up to 1,000 more devices per meter than 4G.这是
34、一篇说明文。短文介绍了关于5G的相关信息。1D解析：由“What is 5G？”可知，5G是什么。所以小题1要说明5G的概念。故D选项“5G是第五代移动网络的缩写”切题。故选D项。2A解析：由后文“5G will use new higher radio frequencies to send out data, which are less cluttered (挤满的)and carry information much faster.”可知，5G将使用新的更高的无线电频率来发送数据，这些数据传送得更顺畅，传输的速度更快。所以本段主要在说明5G的工作原理也就是小题2本段的标题所要说明的内容
35、。故A选项“5G是如何工作的？”切题。故选A项。3G解析：由前文“Thats to say, smaller multiple input and output antennas (天线)will be usedpromoting both signals and capacity(容量)”可知，也就是说，更小的多输入和输出天线将被应用提升信号质量和容量。所以小题3要承接上文具体说明这种天线所带来的优势。故G选项“这意味着5G每米将比4G多支持1 000个设备”切题。故选G项。4E解析：由“The fastest 4G networks can deliver peak download sp
36、eeds of around 300 Mbit/s.”可知，最快的4G网络可以提供大约300Mbit/s的峰值下载速度。所以小题4要与4G网络的速度对比来说明5G网络的速度。故E选项“相比之下，5G可以提供超过1Gb/s的下载速度”切题。故选E项。5C解析：由后文“It means there will be very littleif anydelay when you carry out tasks on a device.”可知，这意味着当你在设备上执行任务时，即使有延迟，也会非常少。所以小题5与后一句为解释说明关系，来说明5G有较低的延迟性，也是本段的主题句。故C选项“5G预计也会有较
37、低的延迟性”切题。故选C项。阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 Child raising is probably one of the most difficult jobs for people to do all over the world. Since babies do not come with child raising manuals (指南), couples, especially future mothers, have to learn from their mothers, aunts, mothersinlaw, or any other rel
38、ative who is close to them. As children grow up, parents have to find reasonable ways in order to help their children, advise them, punish them, lead them to achievements, and teach them. Sometimes children under ten may behave inappropriately. For example, they learn to say offensive words and they
39、 show no respect to their relatives. I think parents in these cases should punish their children in a reasonable way. Children must know those kinds of attitudes are not good at all. There are many aspects which influence parents in this hard job, for example, the culture in which they live, the eco
40、nomic situation in their society, and the religious environment. One group consists of people who dont have economical resources or education. In this group, people get married when they are teenagers. Their children are taken to their grandparents homes, so the job of child raising is done by grand
41、parents instead of the real parents. If the grandparents are on the sidewalks selling newspapers, cigarettes, or magazines, the children will be like them, too. Some of them even end up being thieves, gang members and drug users. Other groups of people are hard workers or welleducated. The children
42、grow up in their parents homes and are disciplined and punished differently. They learn to respect other people, and they are led to achieve in school, sports and community service.
