阅读理解
答案解析：
21. D。细节题。首先根据题干的关键词为free T-shirt，可以将答案定位到原文的第一部分Zoo Exhibit Game，的最后一句，再根据原文的check off all the endangered animals you discover from the list below可选到答案D，animals in danger是endangered animals的同义替换
22. C。细节题。首先根据题干的关键词a lost person go for help，可以将答案定位到原文的Lost Persons部分，再根据原文or go directly to the Administration Building reception desk可以将答案确定为C。
23. B。细节题。这一题是A篇难度稍微大一点的题目。首先根据题干的关键词allow可以将答案定位到原文Zoo Manners部分，根据原文中smoke free（禁烟）、no bikes allowed(禁止骑单车)、do not throw anything into the animal exhibits（禁止喂动物园里的动物）可以排除答案ACD，所以选B。
答案解析：
24. C。细节题。该题题干问到在哪里捡到钱，可以定位到文章第三段第一行“They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk.”可知，他们是在路边的花圃里捡到的钱。故选C。
25. D。细节题。该题可以根据第二段的最后一句话“‘More like thousands’, she said, her voice shaking in disbelief.”根据in disbelief可以推断出Amy的情感色彩，Amy难以置信，居然钱包里有这么多钱。故选D。
26. A。细节题。该题可以从第三段的第四行“they talked excitedly about what they could do about the money”，他们激动的讨论怎么花这笔钱，再到第三段最后一句“Each began to suspect…”两个人都产生了怀疑。可推出该题选择A。
27. B。细节题。根据最后一段可知，当他们在钱包里看到驾照时，明白已经知道钱包的主人是谁。根据最后两句，”They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved.”可知，他们明白他们会失去他们的这笔财富，但是却感觉到释然了，暗含的就是他们会要把这笔钱还给丢失的主人。故选B。
答案解析：
28. C。细节题。首先根据题干的关键词two professor，suggest，run可以将答案定位到原文第一段第三行“…suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species…”对比选项，进行同义转换，可以将答案确定为C。
29. D。细节题。根据选项，主要讲不同身体部位对于人走跑的影响，定位在第二段。选项D“The nuchal ligament”定位到第二行，“…provides our head from moving… Therefore…with steady heads” 进行同义转换，可以将答案确定为D。
30. B。细节题。根据题干定位到第三段，第三行“…running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein…”所以是ran after animals when hunting. 第一行“long-distance runners ”和倒数第二行“great distances”对应选项B“for long distances”, 可以将答案确定为B。
31. C。细节题。根据题干Lieberman和the new theory will…定位到第四段第二行“I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how…and why…” 对比选项，进行同义转换，可以将答案确定为C。
答案解析：
32. B。猜词题。本题定位到第3段中，读完该段，第4段中出现解释性的句子“without the benefit of living in a herd led by an experienced female…”可知，matriarch意思为experienced female。故答案选B。
33. D。细节题。根据题干定位到第2段和第4段。第2段讲到雄性猛犸象的喜欢独行，并且容易陷入危险当中，如河流、冰缝、泥沼当中；第四段中讲到雌性猛犸象则喜欢群居，由有经验的雌性领导带领，不容易死。根据以上信息，得出答案为D。
34. A。细节题。本题定位到本文的最后一段。“most believe that climate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds”是引起灭绝的原因。根据以上文字，排除CD两个明显错误选项。B选项易受已有知识而误选，但是文章中没有提到地球变冷，所以不能选B应该选A。
35. A。主旨题（文章类型）。本篇文章从提出新观点到评论、用实验佐证观点，行文风格比较学术，但又有很强的可读性。故答案选A，是新闻类文章。这道题容易错选B。学术性文章一般可读性不高，难懂且多数据，故不能选
答案解析：
36. E。此空前关键词“without success”和此空后的转折“however”、“gave her hope”表明我们要填空处表明的是Mary 因为长期尝试但怀孕未果的失落。E选项的“heartbreak”、“disappointment”、“give up”刚好符合我们要找的逻辑。37. B。此空后的“… was shared by the rest of her family too”中的“too”表示我们要填的空格处意思是Mary自己因为这个消息很开心。故选B。
38. A。此空前在讲述Mary种植园的情况，其中关键句“… more than 30,000 plants are grown”，这句话中最引人注目的就是数字。A选项中包含一个数字7000，再理解意思A选项意思，30000的植物被种植了，其中超过7000种可以入药。符合逻辑，故选A。
39. G。此空后提出“devoted so much of her life to this research”表明Mary为了中药事业贡献了很多，选项中G选项“80 years”、“still committed to …”符合此空的逻辑。
40. C。此空是整篇文章的结束，空前关键词“to all those in need”表明Mary想要将中药推广给所有需要的人，C选项的“help relieve the pain”、“regain their hope of life”进一步说明的中药可以在哪些方面帮助需要它的人们。
答案解析：
41. 答案C. 很明显，儿童在很多方面与成年人不一样，根据句义填C.obvious. A. doubtful 怀疑的B.必要的D. surprising 令人惊奇的.
42. 答案D. 根据逻辑连词but 可知，前文提到儿童与成人学习模式不一样，转折词but后面应该是相反的意思，他们也有很多的共同点，因此选D commonalities, 共同之处。
43. 答案A. 从下文科学家可知(scientist believe)可知，科学家们赞同接受传统的观点，所以选A accepted.
44. 答案B. 从下文的定语从句upon which the record of experience is gradually impressed 可知，新生婴儿的大脑是一张白纸。所以选B. blank 空白的。
45. 答案B. 科学家认为口头交流是抽象思维的前提，和思维thought相对比,此处应该是口头交流。
46. 答案A. in its absence, it指代前面的oral communication, 在口语交流缺乏的情况下，科学家认为幼儿无法理解抽象的概念。
47. 答案C. 科学家认为婴儿不能理解抽象概念，comprehension n.理解
48. 答案C. 从下文可知婴儿大部分时间在睡觉，可知婴儿的活动范围有限，因此选D.limited 有限的
49. 答案D. 和并列连词and 前面的passive感情色彩一致，所以选unaware, 无意识的。
50. 答案C. 根据前文的passive, 可知婴儿缺乏处理复杂概念的能力。
51. 答案A. 根据下文In time however, challenges to this ____ arose. 可知，直到最近没有与没有研究与此研究相反。所以选contrary.
52. 答案D. 根据前文的动词believed, thought等词可知，这是一个观点，因此选D view 观点
53. 答案B. 根据句义可知，有了详细的研究步骤，心理学家可以找到方式提出复杂的问题，因此选carefully. Automatically 自动地naturally 自然地similarly 相似地均不符合题意。
54. 答案D. 根据后面的名词搭配question，提出问题，因此选put forward.
55. 答案B. 考察名词同意复现，根据下文the remarkable ability 可知此处应选B。

60. 答案D. 通过这项研究，科学家发现幼儿的mind不是a black sheet of paper, 而是活跃的，婴幼儿的心智也渐渐为世人所熟知。
答案解析：
61. gone
考点：非谓语动词
解析；本题已经有了系动词are，所以后面要填非谓语动词作表语。go作表语可以用going和gone，其中gone符合题意，“消失的”。
62. themselves
考点：代词
解析：本题从句主语many species的宾语是they，主语发出的动作是自己本身，需要用反身代词。注意不要漏写复数。
63. in
考点；介词
解析：固定搭配be interested in，对某物／某人感兴趣。
64. catching
考点：非谓语动词
解析：本题begin后面缺少宾语，因此使用非谓语作宾语。begin to do和doing均存在，但是后面有and selling, 所以应该用catching和selling并列。
65. greatly
考点：副词
解析：本空修饰后面的动词reduce，所以应该使用副词，即greatly。
66. but
考点：连词
解析：两个句子之间应该放连词连接句子。此外，两个句子之间的意思发生了转折，因此使用but。
67. which
考点：连词
解析：从句缺少主语，因此排除是并列句和状语从句。此外，从句在名词后，且fish不是抽象名词，因此排除同位语从句，只会是定语从句。空格指代fish且有逗号，所以使用which。
68. to eat
考点：非谓语。
解析：没有足够的鱼去吃他们，enough to do sth .
69. are
考点：谓语动词
解析：句子没有谓语动词，因此be的填写要遵循谓语动词的填写方法。因为be是系动词且fish为集合名词，所以用are。
70. difficulties
考点：名词
解析：difficult作为形容词，可以变副词。但是因为第65题已经考了副词，所以它只能变比较级最高级或名词，因为后面有such as，所以difficult要变名词。而且困难不止一种，所以用difficulties。
1. differently-different
2. likes-liked.
3. classmate-classmates.
4. we-they.
5. but-so.
6. 删去things后面的were.
7. other-another.
8. twelfth-twelve.
9. as和adult中间加an.
10. with-about.
答案解析：
1. differently-different, be different from … 与..不同。
2. likes-liked. 介绍Daniel还是小男孩时的情况，用过去时。
3. classmate-classmates. many后要用可数名词的复数。
4. we-they.人称代词错误，这里指代前面出现的classmates, 应该是they, 不是we.
5. but-so.同学们嘲笑Daniel让Daniel很受伤和Daniel变得很害羞这两件事并不是转折关系，而是因果关系，因此把but改成so。
6. 删去things后面的were.事情发生变化应该是主动的，不是被动的.
7. other-another. other+可数名词复数，然后我们发现talent后有一个冒号，在解释说明talent的内容，他能够很快的学会一门新语言。这是一种技能，而不是很多种，因此我们只能把other改成another.
8. twelfth-twelve. Daniel能够流畅地说12门语言，而不是第十二门，用基数词就可以了.
9. as和adult中间加an. adult是可数名词，而且根据前文：as a boy, as a teenager可以知道，这里是as an adult.
10. with-about. 告诉某人某事：talk to/with sb about sth。

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
First of all, allow me, on behalf of our school, to extend my warm welcome and cordial greeting to you distinguished guests. We feel greatly honored to see you and spend the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival with you.
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th of the eighth month of our Chinese lunar calendar. As one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy we are, we will try to come home for the celebration. The moon that night looks the brightest in the whole lunar month. What we love most is the time when we enjoy the full moon together. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, we sit together and eat moon cakes and fruit, sharing stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we now have a wider range of choices such as traveling and visiting relatives and friends.
Wish you a fantastic stay in China.

New technologies and a rising interest in healthier and organic eating have had a huge impact on how farms do business. At the same time, a growing population has put more demands on farmers. They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep up. Technology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before. Bigger and more efficient equipment makes work such as plowing up fields and sowing the seeds easier. Such tasks used to take two or three times as long. These advances have allowed farmers to work faster and more efficiently than ever before. In addition to newer technology, factory farms produce more products for less money than traditional farming would require. Modern farm life, despite the introduction of new technologies, has not changed much from what has always been. Farmers still wake up early, and spend their days doing hard work. There are animals to feed, cows to be milked, and fields to be plowed. Farm still requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice. The main change in modern farm life is still in the way farms are run. It is common for even small farms to have several hired workers and even an animal manager. Family-run farms are becoming rarer. Factory farms, with other larger farm corporations, are becoming the norm. Although there are still many traditional family farms, they are quickly dying as modern practices change farm life forever. 1.Factory farms now produce most of the products A.True B. False C. Not given 2.Farmers prefer to grow healthy and organic food. A.True B. False C. Not given
