D．An Unfortunate ExperienceBCHICAGO—Monkeys perform mental maths; pigeons can select the picture that doesn't belong．Humans may not be the only animals that plan for the future, say researchers reporting on the latest studies of animal mental ability．Edward Wassennan, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Chicago, says that, like people, pigeons and baboons（狒狒）were able to tell which picturesshowed similar items, like triangles or dots, and which showed different items．In the last 20 years there has been a major revolution in the understanding of animals, added Nicola S．Clayton, a professor of comparative cognition （认知）at the University of Cambridge England．"Animals not only use tools．There is also evidence that some of them save tools for future use," she says．"Planning ahead was once thought to be unique to humans．We now know that's not true．"For example, she said, crows have been seen stashing（把……藏起来）food away for the next day, and even finding ways to protect it from being stolen．Clayton and Elizabeth Branhon have studied how human adults and babies, lemurs（狐猴）and monkeys think about number without using language．After seeing the same number of different objects, infants notice when the number changes．So do macaques．Indeed, college students and macaques seem equally able to estimate numbers of objects without actually counting them．That ability can be useful to macaques in determining whether there is enough food in an area, or to get a sense of how large their group is compared to competing groups．The researchers are currently working to see if monkeys can recognize the concept of zero．The new studies finding increasing similarities between animals and human mental abilities may be making some people uneasy, Wassennan says．With the aim of learning how much the ability to think is general throughout the animal kingdom, he says, "the evidence that we collect constantly surprises us．"41．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．How Animals Plan for Their FutureB．The Newest Discovery About Animals and HumansC．The Ability to Plan for the FutureD．Researchers Say Animals Plan for the Future42．The aim of the studies was to discover____．A．whether animals like monkeys can recognize the concept of zeroB．how much thinking ability is common among animalsC．what kinds of animals can perform mental mathsD．why animals save tools for future use43．In the past scientists thought that ___．A．besides humans, only baboons had the ability to plan for the futureB．animals had limited ability to plan for the futureC．besides humans, only monkeys and pigeons could plan for the futureD．only humans could make plans for the future44．The underlined word "macaques" in Paragraph 5 refers to __ _．A．human adults B．human babiesC．college students D．monkeys45．According to the text, _ __．A．Wasserman has been studying animals for over 20 yearsB．most people now take it for granted that animals plan for the futureC．there are some similarities between animals and human mental abilitiesD．current evidence shows that almost all animals can plan for the futureCThe Adventure Guides ProgramNew Member

travelersC．international studentsD．children with bad memoriesDThe English language, like football and other sports, began in England and has spread to every comer of the globe．Today more than a billion people-speak English．It is becoming the world's language: the language of the Internet, of business, of international flight —the pathway of global communication and global access to knowledge．And it has become the vehicle for hundreds of millions of people of all countries to connect with each other, in countless ways．Indeed, English is much more than a language: it is a bridge across borders and cultures, a source of unity in a rapidly changing world．English does not make us all the same —nor should it, for we honor who we distinctly are．But it makes it possible for us to speak to each other, to better understand each other．So it is a powerful force not just for economics, business and trade, but for mutual respect and progress．For Britain, this is not a matter of narrow national pride．It is an accident of history ?a wave of knowledge and commerce, which gathered even greater global force in the post-war era, that-gave the world the English language．English is our heritage, but it is also becoming the common future of human commerce and communication．This is a great opportunity for Britain—and a measure of the greatness that lies not in empire's territory but through a language that has the power to bring this world of over 200 countries and billions of people closer together, with the versatility（多才多艺）to evolve and adapt．We will take up with vigor （魅力）the bold （冒险的）task of making our language the world's common language of choice．The language that helps the world talk, laugh and communicate together．But there are millions of people in every continent who are still denied this chance to learn English—prevented from enjoying many of the benefits of the Internet, commerce and culture．But no one —however poor, however distant ?should be denied the opportunity that the English language provides．51．In the opinion of the writer, English plays a role of_ __．A．making all the people around the world the sameB．making all the people move across borders freelyC．uniting the world people into a countryD．promoting mutual understanding and respect52．Which word can express the writer's opinion on how English has become a language of the world?A．Natural B．Accidental C．Gradual D．Inevitable53．How should the British treat the power of English?A．They should make full use of it．B．They should be proud of it.C．They should take it for granted.D．They should share it with other people.54．The writer seems to think that English provides the British with a chance _ __．A．to restore the empire of Britain in its historyB．to occupy as much territory as possible in every continentC．to make the world people choose to learn EnglishD．to bring 200 hundred countries under the control of Britain 55．If the writer continues to write this passage, what will he discuss?A．How to do business with the distant people．B．How to make the poor people get rid of poverty．C．How to help the distant people have access to the Internet．D．How to provide the poor people with the chance to learn English．第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共35分）第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it．They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time, to time．Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way．Others burst with anger, and scream and yell．Yet a few people keep their anger inside．They can not or will hot express it．This is called repressing anger．For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it．They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones （荷尔蒙）．They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc．In general, the person feels excited and ready to act．Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous．They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure．Docors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger．They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, men decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about．If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry．Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably．"Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry．They said that laughter is much healthier than anger．56．What's the author's purpose by writing this passage? （No more than 15 words）57．What's the meaning of the underlined word "repressing" in Paragraph 2? （No more than 5 words）58．According to the passage, what are the two common ways for people to express their anger? （No more than 20 words）59．Why do doctors warn us not to get angry easily? （No more than 15 words）60．How can you deal with anger successfully in your daily life? （No more than 20 words）61．下面4幅图片描述的是星期天上午在中山公园里发生的一件事。

Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业)，and most of the rest live in or around towns，small and large．Here the traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns，and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country，but most Americans do not live in small towns any more．Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(1arge cities with their suburbs、of more than a million people each—a larger proportion than in Germany or England，let alone France)．The statistics(统计)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day．As the rush to live out of town continues,rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses，so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment．【1】If now America has 250 million people．how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry? A．About 25 million．B．More than 25 million．C．Less than 25 million．D．Less than 225 million【2】Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas? A．United States．B．Germany．C．France．D．England．【3】What’s the meaning of the word “metropolitan” in the middle of the passage?A．Of a large city with its suburbs．B．Of small and large towns．C．Of urban areas．D．Of rural areas．【4】According to the passage，what can we learn about small towns in the United States?A Most small towns become gradually crowdedB．Small towns are still similar to each other．C．As the traditional picture is changing，towns are different．D .Small towns are turning into large cities【5】Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?A．Because they are the same．B．Because the rush takes place too quicklyC．Because the process is gradual．D．Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas．3.If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history .Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account ofthem .Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war．Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write．For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them．But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write．Sometimes, of course，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past．This we may call “remembered history”．Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing．But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful．【1】Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?A．“Remembered history”，compared with written history，is less reliableB．Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history．C．A written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questions．D．Where there are no written records．there is no history．【2】We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ___A．there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB．the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC．the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD．the people there did not know how to write【3】“Remembered history” refers to ___．A．history based on a person’s imaginationB．stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC．songs and dances about the most important eventsD．both B and C【4】“Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when ____.A．it is written down B．no written account is availableC．it proves to be time D．people are interested in it【5】The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had _____A．kept a written record of every past eventB．not burnt their written records in warsC．told exact stories of the most important happeningsD．made more songs and dances4.When Mrs．Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria，people asked the obvious question,“Why did she live to be 107?” .Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100．Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities．In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place，city living often provides benefits that country livingcan lack．One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed．This factor is exercise．In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus．Even taking public transportation often requires some walking．Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯)，and so people must climb stairs．City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no alternative to walking．On the other hand，those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day．In fact，the opposite is often true．To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars．【1】The Vienna survey may help to explain _____A．the complaints of people in apartment housesB．the cause of Mrs Groeger’s deathC．the longevity of people like Mrs．GroegerD．the image of cities in general【2】The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _____A．benefits of walkingB．occasions for walking in city lifeC．comments made by city peopleD．problems of city living【3】To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful __A．to take the elevatorB．to walk up the stairsC．to ride in a carD．to find an alternative to walking【4】People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because __A．they don’t live near business areasB．they don’t need the exerciseC．they never have parking problemsD．they can’t afford to take the bus【5】A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that__________A．air pollution is not seriousB．anyone can live to be 107C．country people should move to the cityD．walking is a healthful exercise四、其他The world’s first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages--- the taxis of those days to get around .The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day . If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to get to and from work they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems, the idea of the London Underground--- the first subway system was born . The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays but the first track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the first underground track whichwas six kilometers 3.7 miles long. About30000 people got on the subway the first day . Riders were treated to comfortable seats, standing up while the train was moving was not allowed, and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars.However the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems riding the Underground did become popular. It carried nine million riders in its first year. Modern subways have come a long way since the early days of the London Under ground. Today there are 94 large underground rapid transit systems around the world . The busiest of these subway systems is the Tokyo Metro which opened in 1927.This efficient subway has two billion riders per year and “porters ” work on the platforms during busy traffic hours to help push riders onto trains. At times subway cars have been packed with up to 300 people Shopping malls built in high traffic stations where riders move from one train to another have also helped the popularity of subways in Tokyo. Stations like the famous Ginza Sugo Eki Ginza Consolidated Station include underground department store supermarkets restaurants and specialty shops.

(Please answer within 10 words)【3】What problems led the British government to build the London Under ground(Please answer within 10 words)【4】Which sentence can be replaced by the following------ Although there were such problems people loved to take subways.【5】Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.五、书面表达书面表达（满分15分）你已经是高三学生，正在老师和学校的帮助下紧张备战高考，在近三年的高中生活中，你的学校和老师肯定给你留下这样或那样的印记，请你用英语写一篇作文描述你对学校和老师的印象。
