Ⅰ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans ◆Monkeys do math
If monkeys manage the world, we might have stayed away from the recent banking hardship.In an experiment led by Keith Chen at Yale, monkeys showed an understanding of pricing and planning the money, as well as a wish to stay away from losses when required to buy food with money.Making sense of this one looks like it's checking its stocks (股票) on a smart phone.Think that's impressive?
◆Camel eats breakfast with people
The first time Joe ate with British farmers, he was uninvited.The fouryearold Bactrian camel stuck his head through their open kitchen window, and emptied a fruit bowl.Now the couple, who rent out reindeer, camels, goats, and other creatures for television shows, movies, and photo shoots, set a place at their table for the confident doublehumped creature, where Joe eats grain food and his favorite: bananas on toast.
◆Marmots (土拨鼠) befriend a boy
A group of marmots in the Austrian Alps has made friends with eightyearold Matteo Walch by chance, whose family vacations there in summer.Typically, they beat their tails, chatter, and whistle to warn other marmots of danger, but with Matteo, they behave much differently, allowing the boy to feed, pet, and even touch noses
with them.“Watching them makes me feel a connection with nature，” says Matteo.How sweet!
本文为记叙文。文章讲述了几个动物和人类行为相似的故事。
1．In what way do monkeys behave like humans according to the text? A．In character. C．In communication. 答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据Monkeys do math部分的monkeys showed an understanding of pricing and planning the money, as well as a wish to stay away from losses when required to buy food with money(猴子们表现出了对定价和理财的理解，以及在需要用钱购买食物时避免损失的愿望)可推知，猴子在智力上表现得像人类。故B选项正确。
2．Why do the British couple raise the animals? A．To make money.
B．To have dinners with them. C．To protect endangered animals. D．To train them to act as humans. 答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据Camel eats breakfast with people部分的Now the couple, who rent out reindeer, camels, goats, and other creatures for television shows, movies, and photo shoots(现在，这对夫妇把驯鹿、骆驼、山羊和其他动物出租出去用于电视节目、电影和摄影)可知，这对英国夫妇养这些动物是为了赚钱。故A选项正确。
3．Why did Matteo Walch go to the Austrian Alps? A．To warn marmots of danger. B．To develop interest in nature. C．To make friends with marmots. D．To go on a holiday with his family. 答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据Marmots (土拨鼠) befriend a boy部分的A group of marmots in the Austrian Alps has made friends with eightyearold Matteo Walch by chance, whose family vacations there in summer.(奥地利阿尔卑斯山上的一群土拨鼠偶然结识了8岁的马泰奥·瓦尔奇，瓦尔奇一家夏天在那里度假)可推知，马泰奥·瓦尔奇去奥地利阿尔卑斯山是和家人一起去度假的。故D选项正确。
B
Nola (August 21, 1974－November 22, 2015) was a northern white rhino who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California.At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world.The other three lived in Kenya.World Rhino Day, held on September 2, is to raise awareness(意识) of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth.
“Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow，”Nola's lead keeper Jane Kennedy
B．In intelligence. D．In the way of lifestyle.
said.“Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Africa.If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”
“Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans，” Kennedy says.“Humans have either poached animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, we've taken up too much of the world's resources.”Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns.They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations.Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours.
In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8,000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino.Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.
Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos.But you don't have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day.It is observed around the world, with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos, and enable them to see the animals up close.For more information, go to www.worldrhinoday.org.
本文是一篇说明文，作者在文章里介绍了白犀牛的数量在急剧减少，由此引出对此类濒危动物的担忧，分析了出现濒危动物的原因并呼吁人们增强动物保护意识。
4．What do we know about Nola? A．It was a baby white rhino.
B．It was one of the last of its kind.
C．It lived with other northern white rhinos in Kenya. D．It died on September 22 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. 答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“Nola (August 21, 1974－November 22, 2015) was a northern white rhino who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world.”可知Nola是世界上为数不多的仅存的白犀牛之一。故B项正确。
5．What troubled Jane Kennedy according to Paragraph 2? A．The rhinos' uncertain future. B．The rhinos' strange activities. C．The limited natural resources. D．The rare animals in South Africa. 答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow，’．..If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”可知犀牛现在就需要我们的帮助，如果犀牛继续以现在的速度减少，那么很快犀牛就会灭绝了。说明Jane Kennedy对犀牛的未来很担心。故A项正确。
6．What does the Frozen Zoo aim to do? A．Invent new kinds of animals. B．Keep animals from dying out. C．Prevent rhinos from being hunted. D．Raise public awareness of rhinos. 答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.”可知科学家希望通过这个项目，研究犀牛等濒危动物的细胞，对这些动物有更深的理解，最终能够阻止这些濒危动物灭绝，增加这些动物的数量。所以the Frozen Zoo的目标是阻止动物灭绝。故B项正确。
7．What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A．To help people know more about animals. B．To encourage people to protect rhinos. C．To report special events in San Diego. D．To introduce World Rhino Day. 答案：D
解析：段落大意题。根据本段第一句Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”可知本段主要介绍了世界犀牛节的有关信息，故D项正确。
Ⅱ.语法填空

Fifty years later, young Tony, grandson of Kevin, also sold hats for a 3.living (live)．After a long walk, Tony was tired, so he put his bag of hats beside him and lay down under a big tree.He soon fell asleep.

Just then, one of the monkeys jumped down from the tree, picked up 10.the hat and said to Tony, “Do you think only you had a grandfather？”
本文是一个小笑话。50年前，Tony的爷爷戏弄了一只猴子，50年后，Tony也想用同样的办法再次戏弄一群猴子，没想到它们竟是当年那只猴子的孙子，所以没有上当。
解析
1．考查固定短语。句意：Kevin摘下自己的帽子，把它扔在地上。take off表示“脱下”，故填off。
2．考查副词。句意：Kevin收起所有的帽子，高兴地走了。修饰动词left用副词，故填happily。
3．考查名词。句意：50年后，Kevin的孙子Tony也以卖帽子为生。do...for a living表示“以……为生”，故填living。
4．考查时态。句意：醒来后，Tony发现包里的帽子都不见了。讲述的是过去的事情，应该用一般过去时，故填found。
5．考查非谓语动词。句意：Tony抬头一看，发现树上的几个猴子正戴着他的帽子。find sb./sth. doing sth.表示“发现某人/物正在做某事”，故填wearing。
6．考查固定结构。句意：Tony不知道该做什么。此处为疑问词＋不定式结构，作know的宾语，故填to do。
7．考查形容词。句意：我能让这些愚蠢的猴子把帽子还回来。修饰名词monkeys用形容词，故填foolish。
8．考查倒装。句意：Tony挥了挥手，猴子也挥了挥手。此处为“so＋助动词＋主语”的不完全倒装，表示“主语也和前面的情况一样”，故填so。
9．考查副词。句意：Tony开始跳舞，猴子也跳舞。此处表示“也”，位于句末，故填too。
10．考查冠词。句意：其中的一只猴子从树上跳下来，捡起Tony的帽子并对他说：“只有你有爷爷么？”此处特指Tony的帽子，故填the。
