But have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood stream. Although the cat doesnt realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things .It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or seared by other feelings, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isnt always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that its smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. It isnt good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside, dont just go away. Its as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before youd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are that youd see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they dont exist, but theyll still be around. And at last youll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.9. When people and animals are aroused by anger or fear, .A. they feel very regretful immediatelyB. they may get ready to attack or run awayC. their hearts beat either faster or slowerD. their muscles get neither tense nor relaxed10. Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A. They are usually not as alert as animals.B. They sometimes cant control their feelings.C. They always do something wrong to other people.D. They dont pay attention to their physical changes.11. What can we infer from the passage?A. Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.B. Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C. Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.D. Its good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.【答案】9. B 10. B 11. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了人有时不能控制自己的情感，所以就陷入困境。作者帮助我们用一种明智正确的方法来解决我们的情感问题。【9题详解】细节理解题。答案定位在第一段If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things .It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.和第二段All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.可知当引起人和动物的恐惧和生气时，他们可能会攻击或是逃跑，故选B。【10题详解】推理判断题。答案定位在第三段If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble.（如果我们屈服于自己的感觉，让它们占据上风，我们就会陷入麻烦。）由此推断出人有时不能控制自己的情感，所以就陷入麻烦，故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。答案定位在倒数第三段If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health.（如果你把愤怒、悲伤隐藏起来或者藏在心里，你的身体就会一直处于紧张状态。身体上的疾病会发展，你会感到内心的不安。它实际上对你的健康有害。）由此推断出控制住你的情感，可能会导致不愉快的结果，故选C。DIt is believed that some of animals think a great deal. Many of them are like children in their sports. Some birds are very lively in their sports; and the same is true with some insects. The ants, hardworking as they are, have their times for play. They run races; they wrestle; and sometimes they have mock fights together. Very busy must be their thoughts while engaged in these sports.Animals think much while building their houses. The bird searches for what it can use in building its nest, and in doing this it thinks. The beavers think as they build their dams and their houses. They think in getting their materials, and also in arranging them, and in plastering them together with mud. Some spiders build houses which could scarcely have been made except by some thinking creature.As animals think, they learn. Some learn more than others. The parrot learns to talk, though in some other respects it is quite stupid. The mocking bird learns to imitate a great many different sounds. The shepherd dog does not know as much about most things as some other dogs, and yet he understands very well how to take care of sheep.Though animals think and learn, they do not make any real improvement in their ways of doing things, as men do. Each kind of bird has its own way of building a nest, and it is always the same way. They have no new fashions, and learn none from each other.It is plain that, while animals learn about things by their senses as we do, they do not think nearly as much about what they learn, and this is the reason why they do not improve more rapidly. Even the wisest of them, as the elephant and the dog, do not think very much about what they see and hear. Nor is this all. There are some things that we understand, but about which animals know nothing. They have no knowledge of anything that happens outside of their own observation. Their minds are so much unlike ours that they do not know the difference between right and wrong.12. Why does the author mention that some birds and insects are very lively in their sports?A. To illustrate that some animals probably think in the sports.B. To tell us that some birds and insects are more lively than others.C. To show us that ants are the cleverest insects in the animal kingdom.D. To attract readers by introducing some interesting facts about animals.13. “Animals think much while building their houses” because _.A. they have to communicate with each other in getting their materialB. they have to calculate something to arrange all the materialC. no animals have a must to build a “house” except some thinking creaturesD. it is unimaginable to build “houses” without thinking work involved14. The underlined word plain in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by _.A. flat B. clearC. vital D. reasonable15. The author will probably agree that _.A. animals cant think as a matter of factB. animals cant really learn to do somethingC. animals can think and learn but limitedlyD. each kind of animal has their own language【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C【解析】本文为议论文，文章介绍了动物会思考，但又不像人类一样会创新，改革。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一句话可知动物思考很多，再根据文章Many of them are like children in their sports.，以及Very busy must be their thoughts while engaged in these sports.可知举这些例子是为了证明动物在运动时是思考的。所以A项正确。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段Some spiders build houses which could scarcely have been made except by some thinking creature.可知动物在筑巢或垒窝的时候就会考虑得比较多。鸟在筑巢时就在动脑筋。河狸在修水坝或垒窝的时候也会动脑子。蜘蛛垒的窝，除了有些思想的动物而外，是很少有什么动物能垒成的，所以可知动物没有思考是不可能筑巢的。所以D项正确。【14题详解】词意猜测题。根据文章第五段while animals learn about things by their senses as we do, they do not think nearly as much about what they learn, and this is the reason why they do not improve more rapidly. 当动物像我们人一样在凭借各种感官学习事物时，动物对所学的事物几乎不多加考虑，这就是之所以动物不能较迅速地提高的原因。这是动物不如人的地方，这个道理是显而易见的，所以B正确。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段It is believed that some of animals think a great deal. 可知动物可以思考，再根据最后一段They have no knowledge of anything that happens outside of their own observation. Their minds are so much unlike ours that they do not know the difference between right and wrong.可知动物对于发生在自己的视野之外一切事物一无所知。动物的头脑与我们人类的头脑是很不相同的，所以动物的头脑就分辨不出真伪或对错，所以C正确。第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。The goal of homework is to help students remember and understand what they learned in school that day.

B【解析】本文是一篇议论文。本文主要讲了家庭作业很重要，它可以帮助学生理解和记忆在学校学到的知识，培养孩子的独立能力，并掌握时间管理和制订计划的能力。因此，家长要帮助孩子养成做家庭作业的良好习惯。【16题详解】根据设空处前 的 remember and understand what they learned in school及 help them independence and time- management an planning kills可知本段介绍家庭作业的重要性，如它可以助学生理解和记忆在学校里学到的知识，也能使孩子学学会独立并掌时间管理和制订计划的能力。F项(少量的家庭作业对学生也有很大的影响)在此总结上文，并过渡到下文介绍一些成功的习惯，符合语境。【17题详解】根据本段第一句“Your children need a quiet spot to do their homework.”中可知孩子需要一个安静的地方做作业，E项(这就意味着要关掉电视,你也不能看)呼应上文，陈述了具体的做法,符合语境。【18题详解】根据本段主题句“Time it right.”及本段第一句“Homework for young children should be done when your children get home from school可知本段与孩子做作作业的时间有关，建议孩子回家后先做作业，故G项(将其他活动安排在当天晚些时候，这样孩子就能先完成作业)符合语境。【19题详解】根据本段主句“lt s not your homework; it theirs.”可知此处建议让孩子自己做作业，D项(一定不能替孩子做作业)与该段主旨一致。【20题详解】本段提到要让孩子知道做作作业是长大的表现，你以他们为荣；要给他们灌输完成任务很有趣的思想；此外，让他们展示自己的作业，赞扬他们完成作业的行为，并且要一直面带微笑。上述行为说明本段建议父母对待孩子的作业要积极、活跃。因此B项符合本段主题。点睛：考生在读每一个段落时,一定要找主题句(topic sentence)。总的来说,每一个段落都是围绕主题句展开。在做句子填空题时，主题句对于设空以及整个段落理解都有帮助。主题句的设题位置一般在段首或断尾，考察文章的段落大意。(1)在段首设空:通常是段落主题句。认真阅读该空后的内容,查找反复出现的同义词或其他相关的词,概括段落大意,推断出答案。与下文是并列、转折、因果等关系。着重阅读设空之后的第一、二句,锁定线索词,然后查找有相关特征的选项。(2)在段尾设空:通常是结论或概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,答案选项中可能会有与文中同义的词或句子。与前面文意是转折或对比关系。要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。与前面文意是并列或排比关系。通常是该段落要求补充说明本段主题的其他细节,因此要在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词,通常在选项中还可以找到同义词、表示并列或递进关系的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构等线索。第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D)中, 选择出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。An old woman was sitting outside an ice-cream shop with dirty clothes and rough hair.
