Police Officer Tidwell left the station just after 8 a.m. on Sunday June 4. He had spent a

boring night on duty and was looking forward to his day of rest. By habit he took a short-cutdown the path behind Dugby Hall road and after a minute or two he saw a man climbing down

a drainpipe (雨水管) from an open bedroom window of Number 29. In silence, Tidwell crept into the garden. The man reached the ground and was dusting himself do wn when he felt his arm caught.

“It’s8:15 on a Sunday morning,”said the officer, “and th is sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure at such a time. Wou ld you mind explaining?”

The man was obviously scared but tried to keep calm. He said, “I know what you are thinking, officer, but it isn’t true. This is a funny mistake.”

“It’s part of m y job to take an interest in unusual events.

I think you’ve just left this house

in a manner other than the customary one. That may be quite innocent, but I’d like to make sure.”Tidwell took out his notebook and a pen. “Name, address and occupation and then, please, tell me your story...”

“Charlie Crane, lorry driver, from Nottingham, 51 Breton Street . My story…”

“Yes.What were you doing like a fly on that wall, Mr. Cran e?”

“Well,I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. Bed and breakfast. Theland-lad y’s name is Mrs. Fern. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the right way and down at the lorry by half past seven. Only when I felt around for a cigarette did I realize I’d left $80 in my envelope under the pillow here at number 29. I always put it under my pillow at night. It’s a habit I’ve got into. I even do it at home...”“I see. Why didn’t you miss it when you went to pay Mrs…Wha t’s her name?”

“I’d paid her last night. You’ve got to pay when you take the room, see? So I came rushing back, but it’s Sunday, and she’d gone back to bed, and could I wake her? I rang the bell and banged on the front door for ten minutes before I came round here to the back and spotted my bedroom window still open. Up I went, then, up this pipe. It’s a trick I learned in the army. She didn’t make the bed, and money was still there. You know the rest, I hope you believe it because... ”

“Mr. Crane, whatever are you doing here? I thought you’d gone an hour ago.”It was Mrs. Fern, speaking from the kitchen at the corner of the house.

People may use the expression “birdbrain” in English to talk about someone who is stupid, but crows prove that this is unfair. Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies (类推法).

It was once thought that only humans could understand analogies, which help us to solve problems creatively, put things into categories, and make scientific discoveries.

To test this ability in animals, scie ntists do “relational matching-to-sample”(RMTS) tests, according to the IFL Science website. If a pair was AA, for example, then picking BB to match it would be correct. If the pair was CD, however, then EF would be correct.

Apes and monkeys have learned RMTS, but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it, too. An international team led by Edward Wasserman from the University of Iowa in the US first trained two hooded crows to match things by color, shape, and number in what is called “identity matching-to-sample(IMTS) ”, then moved onto RMTS.

For the IMTS test, the birds were put in a cage with a plastic tray that had three cards and two cups in it. The card in the middle was the sample card. The cups on either side were covered with the other two cards: One was the same as the sample (in th e color, shape, or number of shapes pictured), while the other

wasn’t. The cup with the card that matche d the sample card contained two wormsto eat.

In the second part of th e experiment, the birds were tested with relational matching pairs. A card with two same-sized circles, for example, meant they should pick the test card with two same-sized squares and not two different-sized circles. The birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time, Science News reports.

Wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTS. “What the crows have done is extraordinary,” he said in a news rel ease. “Honestly, if it was only by force that the crows showed this learning, then it would have been an impressive result. But this was spontaneous .”

So perhaps it’s time to stop saying “birdbrain” permanently!

46. Why does the author mention the expression “birdbrain” in the opening paragraph?

A. To get the reader interested in the origins of the expression.

B. To urge people to stop saying that birds are stupid.

C. To introduce the topic of Edward Wasserman and his experiments.

D. To introduce recent findings about crows’ intelligence.

47. Which of the following is TRUE about the tests on the hooded crows?

A. The birds did better in RMTS than in IMTS.

B. The birds were first made to do RMTS, then IMTS.

C. The birds picked almost all the correct cards in RMTS.

D. In the IMTS test, the birds needed to identify the s ample card to get rewards.

48. In the RMTS test, if the birds were given the sample card with two same-sized triangles,

they had to pick the test card with _____.

A. two same-sized circles

B. one circle and one triangle

C. two different-sized circles

D. two different-sized triangles

49.The underlined word “spontaneous” in the second-to-last paragraph is closest in meaning

to _____.

A. central

B. creative

C. natural

D. predictable

50. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Monkeys Are Clever Than Crows

B. Crows Show Cleverness

C.Crows Did Well in RMTS

D. Crows May Understand Analogies

D

Many French academics, teachers and parents complain because they feel that intellectual levels are falling rapidly! The figures prove it: young people visit museums less, spend their lives chatting on the Internet, read nothing but Stephen King, while watching American soaps such as Friends or reality shows like Star Academy on television, music player glued to their cars, and the games console handy.

It is, however, easy to see these habits in a positive light. Music is the favorite leisure activity: 86% of 14-to18-year-olds put it at the top of their activities, above the cinema(71%), clubbing(68%), sport(56%) and television(48%). For 90% of young people aged 14 to 18, radio is also very popular: they listen to it every day without exception. International popular music has a strong showing, but songs in French are still in the majority(60%).

Young people do, of course, watch a lot of television, but less than their elders, and if they tend to choose mostly soaps and reality TV shows, that is because these are the programs people talk about, which encourages social interaction. Do young people read less than they used to? Maybe, but that’s also true of the elders. Young people still read more than their elders. When asked, “Do you like reading?”, 94% of 14-to-18-year-olds say they do, and 81% are convinced that computers will never replace books.

Contrary to popular belief, reading continues to occupy an extremely important place in leisure-time activities, but the reading matter young people choose has changed considerably: there is a greater variety of media(computers and new technologies) and young people admit to taste they would perhaps have been ashamed of in the past. For example, comic strips, Stenphen King or other authors not recognized by mainstream culture, such as Betty Mahmoody (Not Without My Daughter), Mary Higgins Clark or Jostein Gaader (Sophie’s World). As Beatrice Toulon, Editor in Chief of the magazine Phosphore, see it, “They don’t read the same things

as their parents did, but they are not afraid to admit it. They have their own culture, which they flaunt(炫耀) openly!”

51. The underlined part “in a positive light”in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by _____.

A. in the long term

B. during the daytime

C. from an optimistic angle

D. beyond reasonable doubt

52. Wh ich activity is the most popular with young French people?

A. Music.

B. Sport.

C. Cinema.

D. TV.

53. We can infer that young French people _____.

A. are ashamed of their tastes

B. are proud of their own culture

C. share their parents’ tastes in reading

D. admit that they read less than their parents

54. What is the author’s attitude towards intellectual levels in France?

A. Worried.

B. Doubtful.

C. Uninterested.

D. Approving.

55. Which of the following can be best title for the passage?

A. The Future of Books

B. More Books, Less TV

C. Young People and Culture in France

D. Young People and Their Elders in France

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）

阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。

[1]We all have stories to tell about a father and some of these stories are funny, some are of encouragement and some are filled with sorrow. One such story happened many years ago but I always remember it as if it had happened yesterday. M y father was a music teacher who traveled to farm homes in smaller communities to teach his students. He left home around one p.m. each afternoon to start teaching and would return around ten or eleven o ’clock long after everyone, except my mother, was asleep.

[2]Mother was the ruler of the home. She was a strict taskmaster, demanding that we all obey the rules without any excuse. When we didn ’t, there were always immediate consequences.

[3]However, one day I made a big mistake and my mother warned me that my father would deal with me. I was relieved because I knew I would be in bed long before he got home. At night, I went to bed early just in case my dad came home.

I figured it this way: I would fall asleep when he got home and therefore he wouldn ’t wake me up to punish me, and by the time morning rolled around, he would forget the whole thing. But I was fallacious. I got up thinking all was well but instead, dad called me in to the playroom. He told me how disappointed he was in me. He then told me that I would lose the privilege of playing with any of my toys for the next two days.

[4]I still remember that incident vividly. The reason why I remember it so well is that it taught me a good lesson. And, that lesson is that consequences will befall you no matter how much you don’t want them, or how much you hope that they will just go away like a bad dream.

56.Why didn’t the author see his father in the evening? (no more than 10 words)

57.What was the author’s mom like? (no more than 8 words)

58.What does the underlined word “fallacious” in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word)

59.What punishment did the author get from his father? (no more than 10 words)

60.How are you inspired by the author’s story?(no more than 15 words)

书面表达

One possible version:

Dear Harry,

Thank you for writing to me. I'd like to tell you something about what I am going to do in the future.

Well, I agree that it’s difficult to choose our future occupation as there are a lot of different jobs. However, I wouldn’t like to follow in my parents’footsteps as I’m not interested in their professions. I’ve asked my parents for advice and they believe I must choose my career according to my preferences.

As for me, I enjoy travelling and I want to see the world. So I’d rather be engaged in tourism-related occupations but I haven’t made the final choice yet.

Some people turn their hobbies into their careers. Do you have any hobbies?

What are your favorite leisure activities?

Hope this helps. Remember to drop me a line when you can.

Best wishes！

Yours， Li Jin
