This was what Samuel would spend years f
39、ighting against.The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity and culture due to others disregard of it. Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were
40、not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was made to create an app
41、ropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of the worst-performing in the district.Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential. However, he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban sch
42、ools, due to the lack of facilities. So he set up a crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers.

47、用做太多，他们只是原居民的孩子)”以及第二段中“the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference,(当地的孩子不值得他们的努力。人们认为无论教什么都不会有区别)”可推知，这些原居民学生被认为是没有希望的。故选B。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on th
48、e part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts.(塞缪尔发现教育这些孩子的主要障碍是许多教师的态度，认为原居民的孩子不值得他们的努力。他们认为无论教什么都不会有区别)”可知，对这些原居民孩子的偏见是Samuel要解决的主要问题。故选C。【26题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, So he set up a crowdfunding project to cr
49、eate a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers.(Samuel与他的本土学生建立了联系，接受了他们的文化他发起了一个众筹项目，希望建立一个配备电脑、设备齐全的21世纪英语教室)”可知，该段是介绍Samuel为改善学生学习状态和学习环境所做的工作。故选D。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“the main barrier was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not w
50、orth their efforts.”可知，老师对本土学生有偏见，认为教他们不值得努力；根据第二段中的词语“disregard(漠视，不尊重)”，“stigmas(污名)”可知，这些孩子受到歧视，没有得到尊重；文章第三段提到Samuel为改变这些学生的学习环境所做的努力；根据第四段“These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of academically.”可知，Samuel的努力导致了本土儿童在学习能力方面的转变。Samuel对本土孩子的尊重，为他们做出的努力，使
51、他们的学业有了很大的变化。由此推知，从Samuel的故事中，我们可以学习到尊重能带来巨大的变化。故选A。CThe biggest and the smallest of the worlds animals are most at risk of dying out, according to a new analysis, with vertebrates (脊椎动物) in the so-called “Goldilocks zone”not too big and not too smallwinning out. Action is needed to protect animals
52、at both ends of the scale, they say. The research adds to evidence that animals are dying out on such a scale that a sixth extinction is considered under way.One clue is body size. Research on birds and mammals has shown that those with larger bodies are more likely to go extinct. Yet, when the rese
53、archers made a database of thousands of birds, mammals, fish, amphibians (两栖动物) and reptiles (爬行动物) at risk of extinction, they found disproportionate (不成比例的) losses at the large and small ends of the scale. “Surprisingly, we found that not only the largest of all vertebrate animal species are most
54、threatened, but the very tiniest ones are also highly threatened with extinction,” Prof. Ripple told BBC News.Large animals, such as elephants, rhinos (犀牛) and lions have long been the target of protection efforts. However, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians that are the giants of their kind, such
55、 as the whale shark, Somali ostrich (鸵鸟) and the Chinese giant salamander (蝾螈), tend to be overlooked. Meanwhile, small species at risk-such as frogs and shrews (鼩鼱)-receive very little attention. “I think, for the smallest species, first of all we need to bring higher awareness to them, because the
56、 larger ones get a lot of attention, but the smaller ones get very little,” said Prof. Ripple.In the study, vertebrates with the smallest and the largest bodies were found to be most at risk of disappearing, whether they were on land or living in oceans, streams or rivers.Heavyweights are threatened

60、title for the passage?A. Size Matters When It Comes to Extinction RiskB. Large Animals Are Badly in Need of ProtectionC. Why a Great Number of Animals Are Dying outD. What We Should Do to Protect Endangered Species【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。一项研究发现，体型最大和最小的动物对比中等体型的动物面临着更大的灭绝风险。大型动物的
61、危险主要来自人类的捕杀，小型动物灭绝的主要原因是污染和森林砍伐。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Surprisingly, we found that not only the largest of all vertebrate animal species are most threatened, but the very tiniest ones are also highly threatened with extinction,” Prof. Ripple told BBC News.(“令人惊讶的是，我们发现，不仅最大的脊椎动物受到的威胁最大，而且最小的动物也面临着灭绝的高度威
62、胁，”Ripple教授告诉BBC新闻。)”可知，科学家们发现，不仅是大型动物面临着很高的灭绝风险，最小的动物面临灭绝的风险也很高。因此B项正确，故选B项。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“I think, for the smallest species, first of all we need to bring higher awareness to them, because the larger ones get a lot of attention, but the smaller ones get very little,” said Prof. Ripple.(“我认为，
63、对于最小的物种来说，首先我们需要提高人们对它们的认识，因为较大的物种会得到很多关注，而较小的物种却很少得到关注，”Ripple教授说。)”可知Ripple教授认为，我们目前首先要做的是从思想上开始重视小动物，因为过去我们只关心大型动物的灭绝问题，因此B项内容“改变我们的观念”正确，故选B 项。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Heavyweights are threatened mainly by hunting, while featherweights are losing out to pollution and cutting down forests. “Ultimately
64、, reducing global consumption of wild meat is a key step to reduce negative impacts of hunting, fishing, and trapping on the worlds vertebrates,” they write in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.(重量级动物主要受到狩猎的威胁，而羽类动物则因污染和砍伐森林而遭受损失。他们在美国国家科学院院刊(Proceedings of the National Academy of Scie
65、nces)上写道:“最终，减少全球野生动物的消费量是减少捕猎、捕鱼和圈养对世界脊椎动物负面影响的关键一步。”)”可知目前最关键的是减少对野生动物肉的消耗，减少人们的各类捕杀行为，由此可推断，人类行为对脊椎动物（尤其是大型动物）带来最大的威胁，故选C项。【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“The biggest and the smallest of the worlds animals are most at risk of dying out(世界上最大和最小的动物都面临着灭绝的危险)”综合全文可知，文章主要告诉我们一个事实：那些体型最大的和最小的动物，面临着更高的灭绝风险，A项“动物的体
66、型可能是决定其灭绝的关键因素”符合文章主题，适合作标题。故选A项。DFor many years, school children in the US have been taken on “field trips” to cultural institutions such as museums of art. Educators arrange them in the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful skills, but also to produce civilized young peop
67、le who appreciate the art and culture. While there are parents who will take their children to cultural places in their free time, there are plenty of other children who will never have this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it. So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a
68、 means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage.However, the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing, with the number of tours organized for school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country. The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. Beca
69、use there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities arent cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have. Faced with this dilemma, field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a lux

Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning. This shift could have a basis in generational differences between teachers reasons for orga
71、nizing days out of school. A recent survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning experience than younger teachers, who view it as fun.Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may h
72、ave a negative effect on childrens development. A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more
73、 likely to visit cultural places in the future. The researchers warn that if schools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations, valuable opportunities to broaden and enrich childrens learning experiences are lost.32. What is the initial purpose of field trips to cultural institution
74、s?A. To teach students useful skills in economics.B. To make every student exposed to art and culture.C. To educate students to preserve cultural heritage.D. To encourage parents to take their children there.33. Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips?A. The drop in school
75、 funds.B. Students demand for fun.C. The dilemma of school finance.D. Teachers generational differences.34. What does the underlined phrase “This shift” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The switch from old generations to young generations.B. The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences.C. The c
76、hange from an opportunity to learn to a treat to entertain.D. The change from educational destinations to luxurious attractions.35. What can be inferred about field trips from the research by Jay Greene?A. Students are rewarded with more cultural awareness.B. Amusement parks enrich childrens learnin
77、g experiences.C. Cutting field trips is critical to the future of the museum.D. Field trips guarantee better future academic performance.【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了美国的学生都被带到艺术博物馆等文化机构进行“实地考察”给学生带来的好处及其这些活动减少的原因。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话So you could say that taking school students
78、on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage.可知，因此你可以说待学生实地考查旅行时给每个人平等接近文化遗产的一种方式。所以到文化机构实地考察的最初目的是让每个学生都能接触到艺术和文化。故选B项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. ”可知，学校组织的考察团数量大幅降低的最主要原因是学校财务的困境。故选C项。【34题详解】词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Additional
79、ly, the nature of these field days is also changing. Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning. ”可知，此外，这些实地考察日的性质也在改变。学校越来越多地把游乐园或体育赛事作为对学生的款待，而不是文化学习的机会。由此可知，This shift指的是从一个学习的机会变成一个款待学生的机会。故选C项。【35
80、题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句、第三句“A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultura
81、l places in the future. ”可知，阿肯色大学的杰伊格林领导的一项研究发现，参观艺术博物馆的学生极大地提高了他们对艺术的知识和批判性思考的能力。他们还表现出更强烈的历史兴趣，未来更有可能参观文化场所。由此可推知，学生们得到的回报是更多的文化意识。故选A项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项 中有两项为多余选项。The word emoji comes from Japanese, literally meaning picture character._36_ They come in diff
