17、ted to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others ”可知，当“我”把拼装式玩具放在学生面前的时候，有些学生犹豫着在等着看别人如何行动，有一些学生查看了使用说明并根据模型方案做出了一些东西。而另外一些学生则根据本人的想象力做出了一些东西。通过观察，作者了解了不同学生的性格。2D推理判断题。根据文章第三段可推断出，这个男孩很有想象力和创造力。3B词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“I ran the risk of losing those students who had a differ

26、或动物对数字变化的反应。2B令人惊讶的是，动物也有这种能力。surprisingly令人惊讶的是；importantly重要地； disappointedly失望地；fortunately幸运地。3D如果你移走一颗蛋的话，这只鸟不会注意到数量的变化。下句中用了know，为近义词。4A要是你移走两颗蛋，鸟通常会离开这个巢。generally一般来说； sincerely真诚地； casually随意地； deliberately故意地。5C这意味着鸟知道二和三之间的差别。从情景的叙述中，可得出此结论。6A另一个有趣的实验表明了鸟类惊人的数字感觉。amazing令人惊异的。上文已用surprisi
27、ngly。7D后文 “But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were”一句给出了提示。8C这个人有了个主意。下文的叙述就是这个人的主意的内容。9A但是他们未能欺骗那只乌鸦。fool愚弄，欺骗。10B随后用三个人、四个人又进行这个实验。因此是重复进行了实验。11B乌鸦等到所有的人离开才回到巢穴。从故事的叙述中可得知答案应选B。12D根据“直到五个人参与实验，进入塔内并离开四个人后，才最终成功欺骗了这只乌鸦。”可知，finally符合语境。13B根据后句 “But when the number goes beyond
28、three or four”可推知，十四个月大的孩子只能注意到东西从数量较少的组别中被移开。14D当数字超过三个或四个的时候孩子经常会被欺骗。often经常。连词but起提示作用。15C文章提到了人类和动物觉察数字变化的能力。.应用文写作假定你是李华，你的笔友Tom得知你在生日时收到远方叔叔寄来的能将中文翻译成英文的智能机器人，特意写信向你询问。请你给他回一封电子邮件，向Tom介绍这款机器人，内容包括：1外形特点；2功能及用途。注意：1词数80左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。_One possible version：Dear Tom，I am glad to tell you som

What attracts me most is that it can translate Chinese into English, which is very helpful to me. Whatever I express in Chinese, the robot will translate it into English by itself at once. Therefore, every time I am free, I will play with it to practice my English.I am fond of it very much and it is the best gift I have ever received.Yours，Li Hua
