I liked being a mess. My desk was always surrounded with bowls of food grain, yogurt and old magazines. My floor was full of sweaters, stuffed animals, socks, shoes… I couldn’t always see these things, but I knew that they were safe, lying somewhere.
One day in August, all of my friends and family members were doing their own businesses. I told my mom that I didn’t know what to do and she advised me to clean my room. When I opened the door to my bedroom, everything was in its usual messy arrangement. I became aware of the moldy (发霉的) smell and noticed a spider (蜘蛛) on top of my mirror. I suddenly felt terrible for everything in my room that I had buried and had an urge to make them reappear.
In a box buried under old textbooks, I found a letter that my grandfather had written me at camp. I remembered my dad rocking me to sleep the night Grandfather died, and how the tears wouldn’t stop. Tears began to roll down my cheeks again.
In the drawer next to my bed, I found a friendship watchband from my childhood best friend, Aubrey, who had given it to me before she moved to California. I had lost so many precious childhood memories over time, letting them slip (溜走) away into the tide like grains of sand.
Under my bed I even found that picture of my mom and me in Jamaica. I stared at that girl, hardly able to recognize this person who had drowned in the mess of my room so many years before. I decided to completely re-organize and clean my room so that all the books, belts and baskets were in their right place. It was like finding the missing pieces of the puzzle.
The finishing touch was framing that photo and hanging it high up on my wall. After all, it was me I had been searching for.
4. Paragraph 1 is mainly about the author’s ________.
A. regular study habits B. disorganized lifestyle
C. unusual hobbies D. busy life
5. How did the author feel when she saw a spider in her bedroom
A. Frightened B. Upset C. Ashamed D. Excited
6. What did the author realize when she was doing the clean-up
A. Her mom loved her very much. B. It was important to find her place.
C. She had lost many fond memories. D. Friendship didn’t change over time.
7. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. Thinking of the past B. Tidying up the room.
C. Recognizing old photos. D. Reading letters from friends.
C
Can dogs and cats live in peace in the same home People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new way for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while attacking and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attack, while a dog doing the same signals admitting defeat.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously thought. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
The advantage of this research on cats and dogs may not only about pets — to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
8. The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
A. early B. sweetly
C. quickly D. suprisingly
9. Some cats and dogs may fight when .
A. they are cold to each other
B. they look away from each other
C. they understand each other’s signals in a wrong way
D. they are introduced at an early age
10. What is found surprising about cats and dogs
A They eat and sleep together.
B. They observe each other’s behaviors.
C They learn to speak each other’s language.
D. They know something from each other’s voices.
11. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs
A. We should learn to live in peace.
B. We should know more about animals.
C. We should live in peace with animals.
D. We should learn more body languages.
D
People who grow up outside of cities are better at finding their way around than urbanites (都市人), a large study on navigation (导航) suggests. The results, described online on March 30 in Nature, hint that learning to handle environmental complexity as a child strengthens mental muscles for spatial skills.
Nearly 400,000 people from 38 countries around the world played a video game called Sea Hero Quest, designed by scientists and game developers as a fun way to collect data (数据) about people’s brains. Players piloted a boat in search of various targets.
On average, people who said they had grown up outside of cities, where they would have probably met lots of complicated paths, were better at finding the targets than people who were raised in cities.
What’s more, the difference between city residents and outsiders was most obvious in countries where cities tend to have simple layouts (布局), such as Chicago with its streets laid out at 90-degree angles. The simpler the cities, the bigger the advantage for people from more rural areas, scientist Antoine Coutrot of CNRS and his colleagues report.
Still, from these video game data, scientists can’t definitively say that the childhood environment is behind the differences in navigation. But it’s possible. “As a kid, if you are exposed to a complex environment, you learn to find your way, and you develop the right cognitive processes to do so,” Coutrot says.
Other factors have been linked to navigational performance, including age, gender, education and even a superior sense of smell. Figuring out these details will give doctors a more accurate baseline (基准) of a person’s navigational abilities. That, in turn, might help reveal when these skills weaken, as they do in early Alzheimer’s discase, for example.
12. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By playing a game called Sea Hero Quest. B. By gathering data from the video game.
C. By recording electrical activities in brains. D. By comparing various targets of the game.
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4
A. City outsiders performed no better than city residents in the study.
B. Cities’ simple layouts gave city residents an advantage in the game.
C. There was no difference between city residents and outsiders.
D. The players’ performance had something to do with their earlier experience.
14. Which of the following may Coutrot agree with
A. Childhood surroundings might affect people’s navigational abilities.
B. Gender (性别) and education are key to developing navigational abilities.
C. A sense of smell bears no relation to navigational abilities.
D. The study of navigational abilities can help cure Alzheimer’s disease.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. How environment impacts early childhood development
B. Why is early childhood education important for our future
C. When is the best time to obtain your navigational skills
D Where you grew up may shape your navigational skills

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者有一天打扫清理自己一直乱糟糟的而房间，发现了很多被掩藏的充满回忆的东西，心灵被触动。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I liked being a mess. My desk was always surrounded with bowls of food grain, yogurt and old magazines. My floor was full of sweaters, stuffed animals, socks, shoes… I couldn’t always see these things, but I knew that they were safe, lying somewhere.(我喜欢一团糟。我的桌子上总是堆满了谷物、酸奶和旧杂志。我的地板上到处都是毛衣、毛绒玩具、袜子和鞋子……我并不总是能看到这些东西，但我知道它们是安全的，躺在某个地方)”可知，本段主要介绍自己乱糟糟的生活。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I became aware of the moldy(发霉的) smell and noticed a spider(蜘蛛) on top of my mirror. I suddenly felt terrible for everything in my room that I had buried and had an urge to make them reappear.(我开始意识到霉味，并注意到镜子顶上有一只蜘蛛。我突然为我房间里所有被我掩藏的东西感到难过，有一种冲动想让它们重新出现)”可知，作者想让那些压在垃圾下面的那些东西重见天日，并且下文进行了清理。由此可推断，作者是对自己这种脏乱的生活是惭愧的。ashamed意为“惭愧的，愧疚的”呼应文中的terrible。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In a box buried under old textbooks, I found a letter that my grandfather had written me at camp.(在旧课本下面的一个盒子里，我发现了一封祖父在露营时写给我的信)”及第四段“In the drawer next to my bed, I found a friendship watchband from my childhood best friend, Aubrey, who had given it to me before she moved to California.(在我床边的抽屉里，我发现了一条友谊表带，这是我儿时最好的朋友奥布里(Aubrey)在搬到加州之前送给我的)”及第五段“Under my bed I even found that picture of my mom and me in Jamaica.(我甚至在床底下发现了我和妈妈在牙买加的那张照片)”可知，作者在打扫过程中翻出很多载满回忆的事物：爷爷的信使他忆起爷爷的过去；一根表带载满和好朋友的童年回忆；和妈妈的照片使作者找回曾经的自己。由此可见，作者意识到在乱糟糟的生活里自己失去了很多美好的回忆。故选C项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上一句“I decided to completely re-organize and clean my room so that all the books, belts and baskets were in their right place.(我决定彻底重新整理和打扫我的房间，以便所有的书、皮带和篮子都在它们该放的地方)”可知，划线词It指代“re-organize and clean my room”这件事情，作者把整理房间比喻为就像找到拼图上缺失的部分。故选B项。
C
Can dogs and cats live in peace in the same home People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new way for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while attacking and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attack, while a dog doing the same signals admitting defeat.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously thought. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
The advantage of this research on cats and dogs may not only about pets — to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
8. The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
A. early B. sweetly
C. quickly D. suprisingly
9. Some cats and dogs may fight when .
A. they are cold to each other
B. they look away from each other
C. they understand each other’s signals in a wrong way
D. they are introduced at an early age
10. What is found surprising about cats and dogs

11. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs

【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。通过科学研究表明猫和狗在一定的情况下是能够和平相处的。如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个月大，狗不到一年，它们就能顺利地和平相处。通过观察它们不能和平相处的原因是它们之间误解了彼此的身势语而造成的。但有趣的是猫和狗能够相互学习彼此的身势语，这样它们就能和平相处。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。由第一段中的“According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. (根据这项研究，如果猫是在狗之前被收养的，如果它们在还小的时候被收养（猫不到6个月，狗不到一年），那么这两只宠物很可能会相处得swimmingly。三分之二的受访家庭表示，他们的猫和狗之间有着积极的关系)”可知，如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个月大，狗不到一年，它们就能顺利地和平相处，2/3被采访的家庭也表明这样的结果，这里的swimmingly意思是“令人愉快地、顺利地”（sweetly）。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“here was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while attacking and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. (据报道，在25%的家庭中，猫和狗之间表现出冷漠，而在10%的家庭中观察到攻击和打斗。其中一个原因可能是它们的一些身体信号正好相反)”可知，小狗小猫会起冲突是因为误解了对方的身体语言。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”. (在有猫和狗平静生活的家庭中，研究人员观察到了一种令人惊讶的行为。它们正在学习如何使用对方的语言。令人惊讶的是，猫可以学会如何和“狗”说话，而狗可以学会如何与“猫”说话)”可知，猫和狗令人惊讶的地方在于它们彼此学习对方的语言。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“The advantage of this research on cats and dogs may not only about pets — to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance. (这项关于猫和狗的研究的优势可能不仅仅是关于宠物，对于不合群的人来说，包括邻居、同事，甚至世界超级大国。如果猫和狗能够学会相处，那么人们肯定有很好的机会)”可知，在动物王国，人们公认的猫和狗都能和平相处，何况人呢？人类更应该学会和平生活。故选A项。
D
People who grow up outside of cities are better at finding their way around than urbanites (都市人), a large study on navigation (导航) suggests. The results, described online on March 30 in Nature, hint that learning to handle environmental complexity as a child strengthens mental muscles for spatial skills.
Nearly 400,000 people from 38 countries around the world played a video game called Sea Hero Quest, designed by scientists and game developers as a fun way to collect data (数据) about people’s brains. Players piloted a boat in search of various targets.
On average, people who said they had grown up outside of cities, where they would have probably met lots of complicated paths, were better at finding the targets than people who were raised in cities.
What’s more, the difference between city residents and outsiders was most obvious in countries where cities tend to have simple layouts (布局), such as Chicago with its streets laid out at 90-degree angles. The simpler the cities, the bigger the advantage for people from more rural areas, scientist Antoine Coutrot of CNRS and his colleagues report.
Still, from these video game data, scientists can’t definitively say that the childhood environment is behind the differences in navigation. But it’s possible. “As a kid, if you are exposed to a complex environment, you learn to find your way, and you develop the right cognitive processes to do so,” Coutrot says.
Other factors have been linked to navigational performance, including age, gender, education and even a superior sense of smell. Figuring out these details will give doctors a more accurate baseline (基准) of a person’s navigational abilities. That, in turn, might help reveal when these skills weaken, as they do in early Alzheimer’s discase, for example.
12. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By playing a game called Sea Hero Quest. B. By gathering data from the video game.
C. By recording electrical activities in brains. D. By comparing various targets of the game.
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4
A. City outsiders performed no better than city residents in the study.
B. Cities’ simple layouts gave city residents an advantage in the game.
C. There was no difference between city residents and outsiders.
D. The players’ performance had something to do with their earlier experience.
14. Which of the following may Coutrot agree with
A. Childhood surroundings might affect people’s navigational abilities.
B. Gender (性别) and education are key to developing navigational abilities.
C. A sense of smell bears no relation to navigational abilities.
D. The study of navigational abilities can help cure Alzheimer’s disease.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. How environment impacts early childhood development
B. Why is early childhood education important for our future
C. When is the best time to obtain your navigational skills
D. Where you grew up may shape your navigational skills
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了儿童时期的成长环境影响着人的导航能力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“Nearly 400,000 people from 38 countries around the world played a video game called Sea Hero Quest，designed by scientists and game developers as a fun way to collect data (数据) about people’s brains. (来自世界38个国家的近40万人玩了一款名为‘海洋英雄探索’的视频游戏，该游戏由科学家和游戏开发商设计，是一种收集人类大脑数据的有趣方式。)”可知，研究人员是通过收集视频游戏的数据来进行研究的。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“On average, people who said they had grown up outside of cities, where they would have probably met lots of complicated paths, were better at finding the targets than people who were raised in cities. (通常，那些说自己在城市以外长大的人，在那里他们可能会遇到许多复杂的道路，比在城市长大的人更善于找到目标。)”可知，一个人早期的成长环境影响着他们在游戏中的表现。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段Coutrot所说的“As a kid, if you are exposed to a complex environment, you learn to find your way, and you develop the right cognitive processes to do so (作为一个孩子，如果你接触到一个复杂的环境，你就会学会找到道路，并发展出正确的认知过程。)”可知，Coutrot认为儿童时期的成长环境影响人们的导航能力。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第三段“On average, people who said they had grown up outside of cities, where they would have probably met lots of complicated paths, were better at finding the targets than people who were raised in cities. (通常，那些说自己在城市以外长大的人，在那里他们可能会遇到许多复杂的道路，比在城市长大的人更善于找到目标。)”以及上下文可知，本文主要通过对比在城里长大人和在城外长大的人在导航能力方面的差异告诉我们人的成长环境可能影响人的导航能力。所以D项Where you grew up may shape your navigational skills (你成长的地方可能会影响你的导航能力)符合语境。故选D项。
