Anyone who knew Jack knew him well. He was the first to hide under the bed covers every time the sky grew grey and thunder was heard in the distance. He was in great fear of storms. However, that day changed it all.
With dark clouds in the morning, Jack was in the car with his sister, Emily, who was driving them home. Jack was holding the sides of his seat tightly. As a result, his knuckles (指关节) turned white. Suddenly, the treacherous road conditions sent the car into a slide. The vehicle went off the wet and slippery road, rolled several times and finally rest upside down. Fortunately, both of them were wearing seat belts. Head bleeding heavily, Emily was conscious but unable to move. Thankfully Jack was unhurt.
Water poured through the broken windows of the car. Suddenly, Jack recalled something. He quickly unfastened the seat belt and moved out of the passenger window. With rain beating against his face and arms, Jack made his way to the driver’s side with great difficulty. He managed to pull her through the window. Suddenly, he felt a strong pain on his arms. It was only later that Jack realized the broken pieces of the window had cut them while he was pulling his sister through the window. Finally Jack dragged Emily up to the road. They were soon rescued.
Emily later recalled her terrifying experience and was truly amazed by his courage. Jack’s act of courage was motivated by his favourite book: The Little Engine That Could. In it when everyone had given up hope, the Little Engine carried the heavy toys and candies over the hill to the children waiting on the other side. The Little Engine had shown courage and taken action.
Obviously, we cannot attribute Jack’s bravery to that one story but without doubt, the book had left a deep impression on him and inspired him to respond positively in a difficult situation.
4. What made it difficult for Jack to go over to the driver’s side?
A. His fear. B. The heavy rain.
C. His injuries. D. The bad road condition.
5. What does the underlined word “treacherous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Dangerous. B. Strange.
C. Special. D. Fantastic.
6. How did Emily feel about Jack’s change?
A. Annoyed. B. Embarrassed.
C. Surprised D. Puzzled.
7 What can we infer about the book mentioned in the text?
A. It was once a bestseller. B. It once inspired Emily.
C. It was intended for kid. D. It was a horror story.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C
【解析】
本文是记叙文。认识杰克的人都知道他非常害怕暴风雨。但是在一次大雨中，他勇敢地救出了妹妹Emily。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“With rain beating against his face and arms, Jack made his way to the driver’s side with great difficulty.”因为雨很大，雨水打在杰克的脸上和手臂上，杰克过去到驾驶座那边就很困难。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中划线词所在的句子“…road conditions sent the car into a slide. The vehicle went off the wet and slippery road”，可知，路况不好，路面又湿又滑，这样汽车就打滑。因此可以猜测“treacherous”意思为“危险的”。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Emily later recalled her terrifying experience and was truly amazed by his courage.” Emily真的被Jack的勇气惊呆了。surprised 与amazed是同义词。因此可知Emily对Jack的变化感到惊讶。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中关于Jack 最喜欢的书“The Little Engine That Could”的介绍“In it, when everyone had given up hope, the Little Engine carried the heavy toys and candies over the hill to the children waiting on the other side.”，通过其中“the heavy toys，candies，the children”等词可以看出，这本书是写给孩子看的。故选C项。
C
Researchers in Japan have installed (安装) on a train a speaker that barks like a dog and snorts like a deer in order to prevent collisions with animals on the tracks.
The country has been troubled by a problem with trains colliding with deer on its railways. According to Japan’s transport ministry, there were 613 cases of train services delayed for at least 30 minutes resulting from collisions with deer and other wild animals in 2018-19.
Deer are attracted to railway lines because of a need for iron in their diets. They lick (舔) the rails to pick up iron filings caused by the action of wheels against tracks. This dietary need has led to a constant battle to keep the deer separate from the danger of a fast-moving train. In the past, flashing red lights and even lion faces have been unsuccessfully trialed in an attempt to keep deer off the tracks.
This new device has been invented by a team at the country’s Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRD). RTRI officials explain that deer have a habit of repeatedly snorting short, shrill sounds to warn other deer when they sense danger. The barking of the hunting dog, which drives deer to panic, strengthens the effect of the warning noise, according to the RTRI. When the deer hear a combination of a 3-second-long recording of a deer’s snort and 20 seconds of a barking dog, they panic and flee rapidly.
RTRI researchers say late-night tests, at times when deer are most frequently seen by railway tracks, have resulted in a 45 percent reduction of deer sighting. Future plans include still barking sites where deer are commonly seen, but the unpleasant noises will not be so loud in areas where people live beside the tracks.
8. Why are deer attracted to train tracks?
A. To get close to the passing trail. B. To get nutrition from train tracks.
C. To hunt for food near the train tracks. D. To gather together at night near railways.
9. What has been tried to solve the railway problem in Japan?
A. Robots. B. Hunting dogs.
C. Lion face paintings. D. Specially designed tracks.
10. What do we know about the speaker?
A. Its inventors drew inspiration from deer’s habit.
B. It will be put to use in areas where deer appear.
C. It will affect people who live beside the track.
D. It has decreased more than half of deer sighting.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A dietary habit of deer.
B. A traffic problem caused by deer.
C. A battle between human and animals.
D. An invention designed to keep deer off the tracks.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
本文是说明文。为了防止鹿撞上铁轨，日本的研究人员在火车上安装扬声器，发出像狗一样吠叫、像鹿一样短而尖锐的声音。这样鹿感觉到危险时，就会惊慌地逃离。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Deer are attracted to railway lines because of a need for iron in their diets. They lick (舔) the rails to pick up iron filings caused by the action of wheels against tracks（鹿被铁路线吸引是因为它们的饮食需要铁。它们舔那些由于车轮与轨道的作用而产生的铁屑。）”可知，鹿被吸引到铁轨，是因为它们要从铁轨上获取铁这种营养素。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the past, flashing red lights and even lion faces have been unsuccessfully trialed in an attempt to keep deer off the tracks.”可知，日本尝试过用狮子脸的画来让鹿远离铁轨，但是没有成功。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“RTRI officials explain that deer have a habit of repeatedly snorting short, shrill sounds to warn other deer when they sense danger. …When the deer hear a combination of a 3-second-long recording of a deer’s snort and 20 seconds of a barking dog, they panic and flee rapidly.( RTRI的官员解释说，鹿有一种习惯，当它们感觉到危险时，会不断地用短而尖锐的声音来警告其他鹿。……当鹿听到3秒钟的鹿发出的声音和20秒的狗叫声时，它们会惊慌并迅速逃离。)”，因此可以推断，研究人员在火车上安装扬声器，是从鹿的习性中获得灵感。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段是全文的主题段“Researchers in Japan have installed (安装) on a train a speaker that barks like a dog and snorts like a deer in order to prevent collisions with animals on the tracks.（日本的研究人员在火车上安装扬声器，发出的声音像狗一样吠叫和像鹿一样发出的声音，是为了防止动物撞上铁轨。）”，下文说明发明这种扬声器的原因和它的功效。因此文章是介绍了让鹿远离铁轨的一项发明。故选D项。
D
Being able to tell human faces apart is a skill that almost every person has, although some are far better at it than others. But a new study out from the journal Scientific Reports says that this is not just a skill that humans possess. Even fish can do it.
Following up on research studying different species’ abilities to recognize human faces (sheep, dogs, cows, horses, and-birds have all been tried), the researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Queensland decided to pick an animal that does not have an evolved neocortex, the part of the brain that processes sight and sounds, and does not have a close relationship with humans. That way, there would be no reason why these test subjects would have a past history of identifying human faces. So they picked the archerfish, a reef fish variety that shoots water into the air to knock its prey out of the sky. They used this adaptation to have the fish spray water at a face on a monitor hanging over their tanks for a reward. Most of the fish were able to pick out their learned face, even when colors were taken away or methods were used to make the face shapes unclear.
This study gives more backing to the hypothesis that
