【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述的是小宝宝考拉把一只小狗当作妈妈的故事,并介绍了宝宝考拉的生活习性。
【1】
考查固定句式。句意:最近,一只小狗在它的院子里和它的主人亨利玩耍时,突然一只小考拉跳到了它的背上。固定句式:was/were doing sth. when +一般过去时态,“正在做某事这时候……突然……”。故填when。
【2】
考查固定搭配。句意:这只困惑的狗四处走动,试图摆脱紧紧抓着它皮毛的动物。固定搭配:try to do sth.“尽力去做某事”。此处是动词不定式作宾语,故填to get。
【3】
考查副词。句意:最后,这只温柔的狗在树熊背上滚了一滚,甩掉了它。此处managed是动词,由副词修饰,故填eventually。
【4】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:这时,树熊又跑回了树林,寻找它真正的妈妈。此处mom是名词,由形容词性物主代词修饰,故填its。
【5】
考查固定搭配。句意:他认为这只狗可能把他那只友好的狗当成了自己的父母。固定搭配:mistake…for“误把……当作……”。故填for。
【6】
考查过去分词作状语。句意:虽然经常被称为“熊”,考拉不是熊科的成员,而传统熊属于熊科。此处koala和refer to之间是被动关系,与连词though构成让步状语。故填referred。
【7】
考查定语从句。句意:虽然经常被称为“熊”,考拉不是熊科的成员,而传统熊属于熊科。此处family是先行词,指物,belong to“属于”,介词to后指人用whom,指物用which引导定语从句。故填which。
【8】
考查含情态动词的被动语态。句意:相反,这种生活在澳大利亚的动物与袋鼠很相似。此处animals是先行词,在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语,与find构成被动关系,是含情态动词的被动语态,can已经给出,故填be found。
【9】
考查现在分词。句意:考拉宝宝出生时是盲人,它们生命的前六个月都是在妈妈的袋子里度过的,接下来的六个月则靠背或肚子支撑。固定搭配:spend…(in)doing sth.“在做某事上花费”。故填holding。
【10】
考查名词。句意:这些动物仅靠树叶生存,每天要消耗2.5磅的食物。此处their是形容词性物主代词,修饰名词,所给词survive是动词,其形容词是survival。故填survival。

【题目】 The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue, Washington, generally don't flash the same length of green twice in a row, especially at rush hour. At 9:30am, the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9:33am, a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds. Less traffic at 9:37am could push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing of the signals changes.
That is by design. Bellevue, a fast-growing city just east of Seattle, uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US: intersection(十字路口) signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions. These lights, known as adaptive signals, have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home.
“Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed, ” says Alex Stevanovic, a researcher at Florida Atlantic University.
For all of Bellevue’s success, adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways. Kevin Balke, a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute, says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities, others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference. “It’s not going to fix everything, but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities,” he says.
In Bellevue, the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches. In the past, there was often an automatic reaction to increased traffic: just widen the roads, says Mark Poch, the Bellevue Transportation Department’s traffic engineering manager. Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger.
【1】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Increased length of green lights.B.Shortened traffic signal cycle.
C.Flexible timing of traffic signals.D.Smooth traffic flow on the road.
【2】What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals?
A.They work better on broad roads.
B.They should be used in other cities.
C.They have greatly reduced traffic on the road.
D.They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed.
【3】What can we learn from Bellevue’s success?
A.It is rewarding to try new things.B.The old methods still work today.
C.I pays to put theory into practice.D.The simplest way is the best way.

【题目】 According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份), it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly(表面上)participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.
Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.
For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.
The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she's having” effect. However, we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?
【1】What is the recent study mainly about?
A.Food safety.B.Movie viewership.
C.Consumer demand.D.Eating behavior.
【2】What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Big eaters.B.Overweight persons.
C.Picky eaters.D.Tall thin persons.
【3】Why did the researchers hire the actor?
A.To see how she would affect the participants.
B.To test if the participants could recognize her.
C.To find out what she would do in the two tests.
D.To study why she could keep her weight down.
【4】On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph?
A.How hungry we are.B.How slim we want to be.
C.How we perceive others.D.How we feel about the food.

On Knowing the Difference
It is as though we can know nothing of a thing until we know its name. Can we be said to know what a pigeon is unless we know that it is a pigeon? We may have seen it again and again, and noted it as a bird with a full bosom and swift wings. But if we are not able to name it except vaguely as a “bird”, we seem to be separated from it by a vast distance of ignorance. Learn that it is a pigeon however, and immediately it rushes towards us across the distance, like something seen through a telescope. No doubt to the pigeon fancier (爱好者) this would seem but the most basic knowledge, and he would not think much of our acquaintance with pigeons if we could not tell a carrier from a pouter. That is the charm (魅力) of knowledge—it is merely a door into another sort of ignorance.
There are always new differences to be discovered, new names to be learned, new individualities to be known, new classifications to be made. No man with a grain of either poetry or the scientific spirit in him has any right to be bored with the world, though he lived for a thousand years.
There is scarcely a subject that does not contain sufficient differences to keep an explorer happy for a lifetime. It is said that thirteen thousand species of butterflies have already been discovered, and it is suggested that there may be nearly twice as many that have so far escaped the naturalists Many men give all the pleasant hours of their lives to learning how to know the difference between one kind of moth (蛾) and another. One used to see these moth-hunters on windless nights chasing their quarry fantastically with nets in the light of lamps. In chasing moths, they chase knowledge. This, they feel, is life at its most exciting, its most intense.
The townsman passing a field of sheep finds it difficult to believe that the shepherd can distinguish between one and another of them with as much certainty as if they were his children. And do not most of us think of foreigners as beings who are all turned out as if on a pattern, like sheep?
Thus our first generalizations spring from ignorance rather than from knowledge. They are true, as long as we know that they are not entirely true. As soon as we begin to accept them as absolute truths, they become lies. I do not wish to deny the importance of generalizations. It is not possible to think or even to act without them. The generalization that is founded on a knowledge of and a delight in the variety of things is the end of all science and poetry.

The 【1】 of a name in knowing a thing | ● Not knowing its name, you will feel distantly 【2】 from a thing however many times you’ve seen it. ● A thing will become magically close and 【3】 to you the moment you are able to name it. ● The charm of knowledge 【4】 in that its boundaries can be always pushed back. |
