The unexpectedly successful fund raising story became a popular conversation starter among the people in the education business.“I can say its quite an achievement for me and our company. As far as I know, Im the first CEO born after 1990s that Tencent has invested (投资) in, and we are the first online education company they have invested in.” Wu Xingyu told China Daily.Different from other online companies that treat students as clients (客户), Yitiku has chosen teachers as their focus. “ We make the work of teachers easy. Usually it takes two to three hours for them to prepare a new exam paper. Now its just three clicks.” said Wu. He is quite satisfied with the major feature of the software.Sitting in his 10-square-meter office in Zhonguancun, a hub of innovation (创新) in Beijing, Wu looks confident and chatty when talking about his business. His fast-speed answers give people an impression that he has years of experience in the online education sector. The fact is that he had been putting most of attention in directing courses at an art college until about a year ago.24. The best title for this passage might be .A. 23-year-old wants to ease workload of teachersB. the achievement made by a boy born after 1990sC. Yitiku, an online software system loved by teachersD. A 23-year-old surprises the Chinas Internet giant25. Yitiku has the following function EXCEPT .A. designing test papersB. choosing the test questionsC. teaching the studentsD. grading papers26.

B【解析】分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了23岁的大学毕业生吴兴谷研发在线系统Yitiku，减轻老师批改试卷的工作量。【24题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“the 23-year-old has been making his dream of relieving tens of thousands of teachers in China from drowning in marking papers(改卷) a reality”可知，本文主要讲述了23岁的大学毕业生吴兴谷研发在线系统Yitiku，减轻老师批改试卷的工作量，故A项正确。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“such as selecting the test questions, forming an exam paper, and preparing exercises for the students”可知，Yitiku有选择试题、生成试卷、为学生准备练习等功能，而没提到教学生这一功能，故C项正确。【26题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Sitting in his 10-square-meter office in Zhonguancun,”可知，坐在北京创新中心中关村的仅有十平米的办公室里，由此可知画线词词义为“特别中心”，故A项正确。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The fact is that he had been putting most of attention in directing courses at an art college until about a year ago.”可知，事实上，一年前他还把大部分注意力集中在艺术学院的指导课程上，而本文主要讲的是吴兴谷研发在线系统Yitiku，所以下文应该接着讲他是如何产生研发Yitiku这一想法的，故B项正确。【点睛】本篇第4题难度较大，像此类关于文章发展的题，抓住文章最后一句和文章主题是关键，根据最后一段中的“The fact is that he had been putting most of attention in directing courses at an art college until about a year ago.”可知，事实上，一年前他还把大部分注意力集中在艺术学院的指导课程上，而本文主要讲的是吴兴谷研发在线系统Yitiku，所以下文应该接着讲他是如何产生研发Yitiku这一想法的。CElephants are able to know the difference between a man and a woman, and can tell an adult (成年人) from a childall from the sound of a human voice. This is according to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.The animals showed more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai men. Usually Masai people hunt elephants, and this suggests that animals have grown to listen for and avoid them.Prof. Karen McComb and Dr Graeme Shannon from the University of Sussex led the study. They explained that in former research they had used similar experiments to show that elephants could tellfrom the sound of a lionwhether the animal was a female (雌性) or a more dangerous male (雄性).Prof McComb wanted to find out if the animals used their very sharp sense of hearing to recognize danger from humans.The scientists recorded Masai men, women and children saying, in their own language, “Look, look over there, a group of elephants are coming.” They also recorded Kamba men saying this phrase.Masai people often come across elephants, which can result in violent (暴力的) hunting. Kamba people, however, mainly feed on agriculture, which does not generally bring them into violent touch with the animals.When the team played recordings of these different voices through a hidden speaker, they found that elephant family groups showed more fear in response to the voice of a Masai man, than to a Kamba mans voice. And the adult male Masai voices caused far more violent response than the voices of women or boys.28. An elephant can tell a man from a woman by sense of _.A. touchB. sightC. smellD. hearing29. How did the researchers get to know the elephants special ability?A. By watching the elephants in the zoo.B. By playing voice recordings to them.C. By recording the behaviors of elephants.D. By communicating with them in a special way.30. We can learn from the passage that elephants are especially afraid of _.A. Masai menB. Masai womenC. Kamba menD. Kamba women31. What is the best title for the passage?A. Elephants and Human BeingsB. Differences Between Human VoicesC. Elephants Recognize Human VoicesD. Elephants at War with Human Beings【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C【解析】一项研究表明，大象能根据人类说话的声音判断出人类是成年人还是小孩子，以及其性别。【28题详解】D 细节理解题。从文中第一段第一句可知大象通过听觉判断男性和女性。故选D项。【29题详解】B 细节理解题。从文中第一段第二句This is according to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.可知，研究者是通过给野生非洲象播放录音来发现其有这种能力的。故选B项。【30题详解】A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句The animals showed more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai men.可知，当大象听到成年的Masai男人的声音时，它们就显得更加害怕。根据最后一段And the adult male Masai voices caused far more violent response than the voices of women or boys.可知，成年的Masai男人的声音比女人和男孩的声音会引发大象更激烈的反应。故选A项。【31题详解】C 主旨大意题。结合全文可知，研究表明大象可以根据人类说话的嗓音来判别是成年人还是小孩，是男性还是女性以及可能有的危险，这足以说明本文主要讲大象能识别人类声音。故选C项。DIf there is one person who has left a deep impression on me, its my teacher Mrs. Pathak who was my class teacher for three years. In my childhood, how I wished I had a mother or a sister like her. One moment she could be tough (严厉的) and strict, another moment caring and compassionate (富有同情心的).She always encouraged us to tell the truth. For instance, if one had not done the homework, he need not lie. She allowed us to make mistakes, saying we couldnt be perfect all the time, but we should try.Another thing she taught me early on was punctuality. She set a good example with her own behaviour. She was always on time, so we students tried our best to be on time.She surprised us with her sense of humour. Her classroom teaching was always humorous. After class, she talked to us and told us jokes.We really felt free to ask questions and Mrs. Pathak would give the answers. If she did not know there had been some occasions (场合) she would say so. We all then tried to find out the answers. Whoever came up with the answer was appreciated and given the due credit (应有的称赞). Now I sometimes wonder whether Mrs. Pathak was pretending just to encourage us to explore and find answers by ourselves.32. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT suitable for describing Mrs. Pathak?A. Tough.B. Humorous.C. Compassionate.D. Careful.33. The underlined word “punctuality” in the third paragraph probably means _.A. being on timeB. being honestC. being patientD. being clean34. The underlined word “so” in the last paragraph means that _.A. the answers were not rightB. she didnt know the answersC. the answers were correctD. she would give the answers35. In the authors opinion, why didnt Mrs. Pathak give the answers to the questions sometimes?A. Because she didnt like answering the questions.B. Because she didnt know the answers to the questio
