from the University of Cambridge in England，sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.The farm animals，who are social and have large brains，were previously known to be able to recognize one another，as well as familiar humans.However，their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.The recent study，the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society showed that the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces，including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.Initially，the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food ter，they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded.The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle，though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percent—the same rate at which a human’s ability to perform the same task declines.“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent and individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers.” said Professor Jenny Morton，who led the Cambridge study.“We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities，close to those of humans and monkeys.”Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings，and some disorders of the brain，including Huntington’s disease，affect this ability.“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys.That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain，such as Huntington’s disease that develop over a long time and affect cognitive(认知的) abilities.Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change.” Morton said. 21．According to the new research，what’s unusual about sheep?A．They have large brains.B．They can recognize their owners.C．They can tell animals from humans.D．They can recognize human faces from photographs.22．How did the researchers train the sheep?A．By giving food rewards.B．By showing photos of famous people.C．By guiding them to follow their handlers.D．By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.23．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.B．The new discovery is of great benefit to the study of cognitive ability changes.C．The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.D．The sheep’s face-recognition ability stays the same when shown photos at any angle. 24．What’s the best title of the passage?A．A Wonderful ScientistB．The Life of SheepC．A New Discovery About SheepD．How Sheep Recognize Each OtherB(2018·四川内江一模)In recent years，car manufacturers(制造商) have been put under pressure to invent a vehicle that is both cheaper to run and better for the environment.One of the first ideas that car manufacturers tried was to replace engines which run on fossil(化石) fuels with electric motors.Unfortunately，these vehicles had several disadvantages and they didn’t sell very well.The problems were that the batteries of these electric cars ran out very quickly and took a long time to recharge.However，car manufacturers have improved the concept.This is where the hybrid car，which has both an electric motor and a traditional petrol engine，comes in.The electric motor never needs to be recharged and it is much better for the planet than a traditional car.In a hybrid car，the engine is controlled by a computer which determines whether the car runs on petrol，electricity，or both.When the car needs maximum power，for example，if it is accelerating or climbing a steep hill，it uses all of its resources(资源)，but at steady speeds it runs only on petrol.When slowing down or breaking，the electric motor recharges its batteries.Hybrid cars are better for the environment because they have a much smaller engine than a traditional car.Also，hybrid cars on the market are made using materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber，which makes them extremely light.Both of them mean that they use less petrol than normal cars，so they produce less pollution.Of course，hybrid cars aren’t perfect; they still run on fossil fuels and so pollute the environment to a certain degree.However，they may be the first step along the road to cleaner，“greener” cars.Car manufacturers are already working on vehicles which run on hydrogen giving off harmless water vapor.It looks like we might be heading in the right direction.25．What can we know about the vehicles which ran on electric motors?A．They moved very fast.B．They were unpopular.C．Their engines were often replaced.D．Their engines were expensive.26．How does the computer in a hybrid car function?A．It keeps the car running steadily.B．It directs the car to climb hills.C．It decides where to power the car.D．It controls how the car uses power.27．What does the underlined part refer to in Paragraph 5?A．Car’s smaller engine and special materials.B．Electric motor and petrol engine.C．Hybrid car and hydrogen car.D．Aluminum and carbon fiber.28．What’s the best title for the text?A．Cars’ Engines B．Car PollutionC．Green Cars D．Cars’ AdvantagesⅣ.完形填空I was confused while I was eating lunch in a restaurant the other day.I was sitting there looking at what I’d 29 and wondered if anyone else could see the 30 in my mind.I’m about to 31

with happy endings，such as “and they lived happily ever after”．I grew up knowing that I would meet with some conflicts and struggles in life，but I always seemed to think that in the end my troubles would be overcome and that I would live happily ever after.But life doesn’t work like that.Troubles，pains，conflicts and struggles don’t end at some point in our lives.We don’t get rewarded with a perfect life for being good.Relationship problems，financial troubles，health issues continue and must be dealt with throughout our lives.Life，as it seems，is not perfect and never will be，no matter how hard we try to make it so.Not only is life imperfect，but we are as well.We are all human beings and we all make mistakes.We all have shortcomings and faults in our personalities.No matter how hard we try，we will not be perfect.No matter how hard we try，we will never find that perfect person who will make our lives perfect.What can we do then？What can we do once we give up on life being perfect，and ourselves being perfect？Well，for me at least I can be relaxed and just enjoy the moment.I can feel peaceful and happy while living in the moment instead of worrying about “ever after”．I can try to avoid the negative feelings from anger，guilt，and depression.Relax and enjoy this wonderful life. 21．The underlined word “that” in the second paragraph probably refers to “”．A．troubles and pains will

personality.24．How does the author deal with his present life?A．Giving up working hard.B．Focusing on enjoyment.C．Trying hard to change his life.D．Overcoming his shortcomings.B(2018·黑龙江齐齐哈尔二模)Kids seem to spend endless hours on smartphones，computers and tablets these days.The best thing parents can do to prevent it is to encourage youngsters to spend more time outdoors in the sunlight.There has been a massive rise around the globe in shortsightedness—or myopia as it’s officially known—over recent decades.Myopia or shortsightedness is becoming more ck of natural light seems to be the key issue.“The main factor seems to be a lack of exposure to direct sunlight，because children who study a lot and who use computers or smartphones or tablet computers a lot have less opportunity to run around outside and are less exposed to sunshine and because of that children seem to be at more risk of developing shortsightedness.”Professor Hammond says，“It may be there’s no coincidence that in East Asian countries，the most myopic ones all may relate to the maths league tables(排名表)．These kids are being pushed with very intensive education from a very young age and spend a lot of time indoors studying close up.Therefore the concern is that all close work—like playing with the iPhone—carries the potential that it could make them more shortsighted.”The best thing to do，say the experts，is to get children playing outside as much as possible.In a perfect world，probably on average across the week and the weekend，two hours a day outdoors is protective of becoming shortsighted in children.Healthy diet is really also important—in terms of getting oily fish，green vegetables，green leafy vegetables as much as possible.“What we need to look at is ways of modifying the impact that these activities have on their visual development.” Professor Hammond said，“There are eye drops and other treatments toslow myopia progression.But in terms of preventing myopia itself，there isn’t any data out there at the moment in terms of the question，‘Could the drops we use slow progression or stop myopia developing at all？’”25．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Much natural light.B．Running around outside.C．Computers or smartphones.D．Less exposure to sunshine.26．What does Professor Hammond think of shortsightedness among East Asian children?A．It appears quite by chance.B．It is not serious enough.C．It largely relates to iPad or iPhone.D．It connects with their study pressure.27．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．The number of myopic students will decrease in the future.B．Researchers have found methods to reduce myopia.C．It’s still a hard job to control the children’s myopia.D．Researchers needn’t collect any more data on myopia.28．What is the best title for the text?A．Common Troubles of StudentsB．Problems Caused by ShortsightednessC．Staying Outdoors More to Keep Good EyesightD．The Importance of Protecting KidsⅣ.完形填空At times my mom has been

B．Negative.C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.DA new technology is going to ripe，one that could transform our daily lives，help to form new industries，even remove world economic powers from their present positions.Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world，the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront.Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity(超导性)．Used today only in specialized equipment，super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home，making them smaller，more powerful and efficient.They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel(柴油) vehicles with electric cars，and cut the cost of electricity.The new materials do something that even the best conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance.The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage，still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money.For 75 years，it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures.It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes，who cooled mercury(水银) to temperatures below －269℃ with liquid helium(氦)．Then in January last year，two IBM scientists，K.Alex Muller and J．George Bednorz，found a metal oxide ceramic(氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at －243℃.Their report went largely unnoticed until last December，when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston.Today Japan，India，China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs，acting as midwives(助产士) to a new technology.32．As is indicated in the passage，the technology of superconductivity .A．has already been developedB．is still under developmentC．will be used only in specialized equipmentD．will be used in daily lives in a few years33．The new technology differs from the others in that .A．it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the worldB．it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the worldC．it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldD．it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich34．From the passage，we may conclude that .A．Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technologyB．Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 yearsC．IBM scientists’ report receives immediate attention all over the worldD．the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．The Prospect of a New TechnologyB．Superconductivity：A New TechnologyC．A New Technology：The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesD．A New Technology：A Joint Effort of Many Countries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。

B (2018·安徽马鞍山质检) Readers in Grenoble can now nibble(啃) fiction after publisher Short Edition introduced eight short-story dispensers(自动售货机) around the French city. The free stories are available at the touch of a button，printing out on rolls of paper like a receipt.Readers are able to choose one minute，three minutes，or five minutes of fiction. “The feedback we got has been extremely positive.Just two weeks since its launch，more than 10,000 stories have already been printed.We are thrilled to see it working so well，” said the co-founder Quentin Pleple.“There are only eight dispensers in the city of Grenoble for now but we are planning to introduce more.We are getting requests from all over the world—Australia，the US，Canada，Russia，Greece，Italy，Spain and Chile.” Pleple said he and his team initially came up with the idea a couple of years ago when taking a break at a drink dispenser.“We thought it would be cool to have it for short stories，” said the publisher.“Then，we decided to make a difference：the short-story dispenser was born.” The French publisher hopes the story will be used to fill the “dead time” of a passenger.“In the bus or the subway，everyone can make the most of these moments to read short stories，poems，or short picture books，” said a statement from Short Edition.“And they can be sure to enjoy the quality.” The dispensers are now in locations including Grenoble’s town hall，its tourist office and its library.The stories are drawn from more than 60,000 stories on Short Edition’s website.But there is a problem that users are not able to choose what type of story they would like to read.“Right
