11、 of the crow（烏鴉）family. A new study tested the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour, which may have evolved（進化）specifically because it gives crows a survival advantage. Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food. So the researchers tested whether the birds could s

12、tore and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17 hourssomething we wouldnt expect them to do naturally. But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.In another experiment, the researchers taught crows to select a token （禮品券）from a n

13、umber of items so that they could then exchange for food. Again, the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour. This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning, which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour. For example, we know that c

14、himpanzees select, transport and save appropriate tools for future needs.These studies have shown that animals can plan for the futurebut they left an important question open for debate. Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved to give them a specific advantage, or can they f

15、lexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions? Most critics would say the former, as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviours.But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesnt typicall

16、y occur in nature. This supports the view that at least some recognitive abilities in animals dont evolve just in response to specific problems. Instead, it suggests that animals can apply these behaviours flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans. We need to investigate how flexible behav

17、iour evolved. Then we might be able to see how crows ability to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.1、Whats the new finding about some crows according to Paragraph 1?AThey can store food. BThey can use tools to recover food.CThey can store and recover tools. DThey can sel

18、ect and store food.2、What are crows trained by scientists to do when given a token?AReject it casually. BExchange it for food.CSave it as their food. DBuild a nest with it.3、What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future?AThey are controversial. BThey are disappointing.

19、CThey are contradictory. DThey are convincing.4、What can be inferred about recognitive abilities in animals?AThey develop only with age.BIt is unclear how theyve evolved now.CNo animals but crows benefit from them.DPlanning for the future helps their evolution.22（8分）Many foreign students report feel

20、ing lonely or unwelcome in Australia. Those feelings are among the reasons why Australia is taking a close look at its international education industry. But wherever international students go, making friends may not always be easy. Elisabeth Gareis of Baruch College in New York surveyed 454 internat

21、ional students. They were attending four-year colleges and graduate schools in the American South and Northeast.Students from English-speaking countries and from northern and central Europe were more likely to be happy with their friendships. But 38% of the international students said they had no cl

22、ose friends in the United States. And half of the students from East Asia said they were unhappy with the number of American friends they had. Thirty percent said they wished their friendships could be deeper and more meaningful.Professor Gareis says, “Students from East Asia have cultures that are

23、different on many levels from the culture in the United States. There are also language problems, and maybe some social skills, such as small talks, which are possibly not as important in their native countries, where its not as important to start friendships with small talks. Many East Asian studen

24、ts blamed themselves for their limited friendships with Americans, for not speaking the language well enough and for not knowing the culture well enough.”VOAs Students Union blogger Jessica Stahl did her own survey to find out how American students and foreign students relate to each other. More tha

25、n 100 students, about half of them American, answered her online questions. Half of the international students and 60 % of the Americans said they related as well or better to the other group than to their own group.Professor Gareis says, “International students who make friends with host nationals

26、are, overall, more satisfied with their stay in the host country. They have better language skills, better academic performance and better attitudes toward the host country.”1、What can be the best title for the text?AMaking Friends Is Not Always Easy for Foreign StudentsBStudents from East Asia Are

Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems

31、 in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this toothats why it made Nov 16 “International Day for Tolerance”.But first of all, what is tolerance? French philosopher Voltaire (16941778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance “is the consequence of humanity.

32、 We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each others follythat is the first law of nature.”Nobodys perfect. When were tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.Very often, people dont realize that theyre intolerant. This is because

33、 intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UNs campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men dont put themselves in the shoes of women.Its worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “

34、intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which were speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isnt necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that theres something wrong with them.But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate

35、” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them?Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. Thats the reason we should be tolerant.Its a littl

36、e like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”1、According to Voltaire

37、, tolerance is _.Abeing willing to express your love to othersBtrying to overcome your imperfectionsCgiving a hand to vulnerable groups (弱勢群體)Daccepting each others weaknesses2、Why are people usually unaware of their intolerance, according to the article?AThey are used to finding faults.BThey consid

38、er tolerance a kind of frailty.CThey dont see things from the angle of others.DThey are intolerant of themselves too.3、In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?AHumans are advised to treat others better.BHumans learned to find faults in others.CHumans need to give something to others.DHu

39、mans will change their attitudes to others.4、The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to _.Agiving things to othersBforgiving othersCdifferent attitudes toward love and hateDthe fact that humans are imperfect5、Whats the text mainly about?AThe origin of the International Day of Toleran

40、ce.BThe meaning and importance of tolerance.CThe philosophy behind Bob Marleys song.DEffective ways to show tolerance.24（8分）When my son was first diagnosed with Autism (自閉癥), it was a very hard time for us. However, in some ways it was a relief, because we finally had a name for what was going on in

41、 our lives, but it also meant years more of uncertainty, and we didnt know what the future held.When I shared the news with my coworkers, I was so surprised and happy to receive so much immediate love and support from them. They were focused on what we needed, as opposed to how it would affect my ab

42、ility to make it to work.One co-worker, Jackie, in particular, was amazing to my family and me. She called me into her office a few days later, and gave me a “worry stone” It gives you something to focus on when youre worried, rubbing your thumb (拇指) around on this stone. It was a lovely gesture.She

43、 then extended a permanent offer to drive us to any appointments or tests we needed. Considering the fact that we lived 90 minutes from where most treatment took place, this was a tremendous offer. She made it very clear to me that this offer included last minute trips or emergencies. Anytime we nee

44、ded to go anywhere, she was willing to be our transportation. She said that we needed to be able to focus on our son instead of having to divide our attention between the road and him.We never did need to take her up on her wonderful offer, but knowing it was there and that she was so willing to hel

45、p made it feel like we were much less alone.1、What does “a relief” refer to in the first paragraph?AMy sons recovery from the disease.BThe help from my co-workers.CKnowing what my boys problem is.DThe sign of a better future.2、Why did the co-work offer to drive for us?AShe is a mare experienced driv

46、er.BWe live far away from the hospital.CShe lives very close to our house.DShe wishes to reduce our worries.3、What does the writer think of the offer by Jackie?AIts a great comfort.BIts a last-minute offer.CIts not necessary.DIts a difficult decision for her.4、What might be the best title for the te

Within the first month of their lives, babies responses to the sound of the human voice will be different

48、 from their responses to other sorts of hearing stimulation. They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle. At first, the sounds that a baby notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the

49、ends of utterances(講話，說話). By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling tones. Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can influence babies emotional states and behavior. Long before they develo

50、p actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is happy or angry, attempting to begin or end new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of clues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult speech.Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating

51、(夸張) such clues. One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk. Other researchers have noted that when mothers talk to babies who

52、 are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words. They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels(元音) longer, and emphasize certain words.More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that ti

53、ny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds. In other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make those precisely perceptual（知覺的，感性的） recognition that are necessary if they are to acquire listening language.Babies obviously obtain pleasure from sound input, too:

54、even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding. For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to boring meaning that it often is for adults.1、The author mentions syllables with rising and falling

55、 tones to .Ashow how difficult it is for babies to interpret emotionsBprovide an example of ways adults speak to babiesCgive a reason for babies difficulty in telling one adult from anotherDshow a six-week-old baby can already tell some language differences2、What can be inferred about the findings d

56、escribed in Paragraph 2?AMothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways.BBabies ignore facial expressions in understanding listening language.CThe mothers were unconsciously teaching their babies to speak.DMothers only exaggerate their tones when talking to babies.3、Why do bab

57、ies listen to songs and stories, even if they cant understand?AThey understand the rhythm. BThey enjoy the sound.CThey can remember them easily. DThey focus on the meaning.4、Whats the main idea of the passage?ABabies can detect sounds other than the human voice.BBabies ways to learn a language diffe

58、r from adults.CBabies can respond to the speech before they can speak.DBabies can tell the sound of the human voice from other sounds.第三部分 語言知識運用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項26（30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項（A, B, C, D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。I still remember it w
