Well, well, well. It looks like robots are now coming for our beloved furry friends. According to a new study, animal robots may be just as effective, if not better, at providing therapeutic (治疗的) benefits to children as real pets. As someone who has both interacted with real dogs and robots, I can tell you that this is quite a bold claim.
Sure, robots may have some benefits over real dogs. They can work for longer hours and won’t cause allergies (过敏) or pass on diseases. But can a robot give you that wet-nosed, tail-wagging, slobber-filled experience that a real dog can? I think not.
Now, I’m not saying that robots don’t have their place in therapy. In fact, I can see how an animal robot could be helpful in certain situations where a real dog might not be possible. But let’s not go replacing all the good boys and girls with robots just yet.
As for the study, it’s interesting to see that while the kids said they loved real-life dogs better, they actually spent more time interacting with the robot. I can only imagine that it was doing some pretty impressive tricks, some robot dance or robot jokes maybe, to hold the kids’ attention for that long.
In all seriousness, though, I do think it’s important to consider the welfare of therapy dogs. Visiting hospitals can be stressful and tiring for them, and we should be exploring all options to make therapy experiences as positive and enjoyable as possible for both the animals and the patients.
So, while I may not be ready to trade in my furry friends for robots just yes, I am open to the idea of introducing animal robots into therapy programs. Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll all have our own personal robot pets that can provide us with just as much love and companionship as the real thing. But until then, I’ll stick with my trusty furry friends.
4. What is the text?
A. A response to a recent study. B. A summary of a scientific study.
C. A news report of a new invention. D. A review on a medical experiment.
5. What does the writer mean by saying “this is quite a bold claim” in paragraph 1?

A. The kids preferred robot pets to real dogs.
B. Robots kept the kids’ interest for a longer time.
C. The kids’ concentration was effectively improved.
D. Robots had more tricks to impress kids than real dogs.
7. Why is the author open to the idea of using robots in therapy?
A. They can share some of therapy pets’ work.

The best ideas are often so smart, so simple and so clearly needed; it’s strange to discover they don’t already exist. So it is with Farm My School, a program that’s turning underused land at secondary schools into commercially achievable, regenerative market gardens farmed by and for local communities.
Co-founded by permaculturist Ben Shaw and regenerative educator James McLennan, Farm My School connects local people and organizations through volunteering that helps establish a school’s market garden. Students learn about community networks, healthy eating, ecological responsibility, waste reduction, and climate relief while helping with food production. Schools integrate all these into their courses while producing vegetable boxes every week that feed local families, supply the school’s food needs and ultimately pay the farmer’s salary.
Farm My School has gained the extraordinary enthusiasm of the locals, who answered an online shout-out to buy tickets to the program’s launch event at Bell Secondary School last October. Called Build A Farm in a Day Festival, the event featured workshops by Ben and James to share the skills required to build what they say is the world’s largest no-dig garden. “It was such a powerful event, and I think that comes down to people wanting to act now,” says James. “We charged for the experience and 600 guys turned up! They didn’t even need free drinks to get excited. We were gardening till midnight. It was amazing. We’ve got true community buy-in.”
Volunteers have since begun beneficial planting throughout the school. Next steps include further discussions with local communities, employing a farmer, and bringing in a teacher to develop courses. “We’ve seen this huge push towards seeing schools as regenerative spaces, not just for planting but for kids to be more connected to the outside world, and really seeing the school in a whole new light,” James says. “For us, the big excitement is that by allowing a professional farmer to take the responsibility of growing food, it’s not only on the school to look after that farm anymore, which eventually makes it much more sustainable,” adds Ben.
8. Why was Farm My School founded?
A. To raise the income of the local people.
B. To advocate a commercial farming plan.
C. To provide free food for local communities.
D. To turn underused campus land into market gardens.
9. How do schools involve students into the program?
A. By developing program-based courses.
B. By organizing voluntary work in communities.
C. By offering them part-time jobs in the market gardens.
D. By encouraging them to produce daily vegetable boxes.
10. What does the underlined word “buy-in” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Competition. B. Investment. C. Support. D. Protection.
11. What is the highlight of the program according to Ben?
A. It brings in money to support the school. B. The school farm will be able to last long.
C. The local people will take care of the farm. D. Students connect more with the outside world.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】

词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“We charged for the experience and 600 guys turned up! They didn’t even need free drinks to get excited. We were gardening till midnight. (我们为这次体验收费，结果有600个人来了!他们甚至不需要免费饮料就能兴奋起来。我们做园艺一直干到半夜)”可知，社区的人都来支持他们的活动。由此猜测，画线词意思是“支持”，故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““For us, the big excitement is that by allowing a professional farmer to take the responsibility of growing food, it’s not only on the school to look after that farm anymore, which eventually makes it much more sustainable,” adds Ben.(Ben补充说：“对我们来说，最大的兴奋是，通过允许职业农民承担种植粮食的责任，不再只有学校来照看农场，这最终使它更可持续。”)”可知，Ben认为这个项目的亮点是学校农场将能够持续很长时间。故选B。
D
In 1977, Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard graduate, decided to investigate the thought processes of another creature by talking to it. To do this, she would teach a one-year-old African gray parrot (鹦鹉), Alex, to reproduce the sounds of the English language.
Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she bad intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.
But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.
In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at. “What’s the same?” she asked. “Co-lor,” Alex responded without hesitation. “What’s different?” Pepperberg asked. “Shape,” Alex quickly replied. His voice had the sound of a cartoon character. But the words — and what can only be called the thoughts — were entirely his. Many of Alex’s skills, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationships and environments.
During the demonstration, as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain, Alex spoke up. “Talk clearly!” he commanded, when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching mispronounced the word “green”.
Alex knew all the answers himself and was getting bored. “He’s moody,” said Pepperberg, “so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.” Pepperberg was certainly learning more about the mind of a parrot, but like the parent of a troublesome teenager, she was learning the hard way.
12. Why did Pepperberg let the shop assistant choose the bird?
A. A bird with a small brain was needed. B. She wanted a very smart bird for her study.
C. A research subject should be randomly chosen. D. The shop assistant was better at choosing birds.
13. What might most researchers think of Pepperberg’s study at first?
A. Innovative. B. Practical. C. Costly. D. Fruitless.
14. Which of the following aspects of Alex’s ability did Pepperberg’s study focus on?
A. Understanding concepts. B. Calculating.
C. Recognizing voices. D. Creating English words.
15. What caused Pepperberg’s struggle in her study?
A. Her instructions had to be easy for Alex. B. Alex was sometimes too clever to control.
C. Alex would point out other birds’ mistakes. D. She had trouble understanding Alex’s mood.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了1977年，哈佛大学毕业生Irene Pepperberg决定通过与另一种生物交谈来研究它的思维过程。文章介绍了她研究鹦鹉的过程和遇到的困难。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she bad intentionally chosen an especially smart bird.( Pepperberg在一家宠物店买了Alex，她让店员挑选它，因为她不想让其他科学家说她故意选了一只特别聪明的鸟)”可知，Pepperberg让店员选鸟因为要随机选择研究对象。故选C。
13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.(考虑到Alex的大脑只有核桃那么大，大多数研究人员认为Pepperberg的交流研究是徒劳的)”可推知，大多数研究人员一开始认为Pepperberg的研究不会成功。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.(Pepperberg想深入他的思想，了解更多关于鸟对世界的理解)”和第四段的“Many of Alex’s skills, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world.(Alex的许多技能，比如他理解“相同”和“不同”概念的能力，在动物界是罕见的)”可知，Pepperberg的研究关注的是Alex理解概念的能力。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““He’s moody,” said Pepperberg, “so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.”(“他很情绪化，” Pepperberg说，“所以他会打断别人，或者他只是为了刁难别人而给出错误的答案。”)”可知，Alex有时太聪明了，无法控制导致Pepperberg在她的研究中陷入困境。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What makes a work of architecture great? Most people would argue that aesthetics are the most important. ____16____However, Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio believed that we should also consider durability and function when assessing a structure. The Rostonville Library in my city is a great example of Vitruvius’s principles.
Constructed entirely of granite — a hard and tough stone, the library is durable. It can withstand environmental pollution. For example, it is resistant to acid rain. Moreover, its granite structure is stable so it’s more likely to survive an earthquake._____17_____It uses solar energy for heating and a rooftop garden for cooling.
_____18_____Providing free access to print and digital information, it conveys a feeling of openness and accessibility. Furthermore, the entire library is on one level, and it has an open design — there are no inner walls or dividers. In addition, large windows let in plenty of natural light, so it’s easy to see and get to each department within the library.
Finally, the library is beautiful, with aesthetically pleasing details both inside and out. The large windows are copper-framed (铜框的). The copper color provides an interesting contrast against the color of the granite structure and it will remain as the copper ages. Growth from the rooftop garden, which reaches down the sides of the building, adds to the aesthetics of the building.______19______
Durability, functionality and beauty make the Rostonville Library a great structure. Architects who follow Vitruvius’s principles help to make the city more pleasant to live in._____20_____
A. The library is also sustainable.
B. It is true that beauty is critical.
C. This is not the only concern of the architects.

The Rostonville Library in my city is a great example of Vitruvius’s principles.(然而，罗马建筑师Marcus Vitruvius Pollio认为，在评估一个结构时，我们也应该考虑耐久性和功能。我所在城市的罗斯顿维尔图书馆是维特鲁威原则的一个很好的例子)”可知，本句肯定上文“大多数人会认为美学是最重要的”的观点，与后文构成转折，故B选项“的确，美很重要”符合语境，故选B。

【19题详解】
根据上文“Finally, the library is beautiful, with aesthetically pleasing details both inside and out. The large windows are copper-framed (铜框的).

Growth from the rooftop garden, which reaches down the sides of the building, adds to the aesthetics of the building.(最后，图书馆很漂亮，内外细节都很有美感。大窗户是铜。铜的颜色与花岗岩结构的颜色形成了有趣的对比，它将随着铜的年代而保持下去。从屋顶花园延伸到建筑的两侧，增加了建筑的美学)”可知，上文提到“从屋顶花园延伸到建筑的两侧，增加了建筑的美学”，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文说明这一做法的作用：它软化了结构的线条，帮助它融入自然环境。故E选项“它软化了结构的线条，帮助它融入自然环境”符合语境，故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Durability, functionality and beauty make the Rostonville Library a great structure.

Outside the Box
The Harvestfest contest was falling on Friday and everyone in school was talking about it. All the students would show up in their self-made costumes and a winner would be chosen by the principal.
“Do you have your costume for the Harvestfest contest?” Alice asked. “I’m going as a chocolate bar. My mom and I have been working on it all week.”
“Yeah, I have a costume,” said Jordan Eastman, popping up the two front wheels of his wheelchair as he waited for his dad to pick him up. “But it’s boring.”
“Why? What is it?” Alice asked.
“MaxMag the superhero, but Danny, Tom and Izzy are all going as MaxMag too.” Jordan shook his head. “That’s too many to stand a chance at winning the contest.” He waved to his dad, who had just pulled up in front of the school.
Jordan rolled his wheelchair toward his dad, and Alice walked with him to the minivan.
“Maybe you should go as something else.”
“The contest is Friday night.” Jordan sighed. “It’s too late to change costumes.”
“Jordan, you have to think outside the box. Look around your house and see what you have. There’s hidden potential in everyday items.” She took a sip of her drink, and told Jordan that her chocolate-bar costume was made from old fabric her mom had lying around and recycled plastics.
On his way home, Jordan was quiet. He kept thinking about Alice’s words: Think outside the box. There’s hidden potential in everyday items. When he got home, he found his mum handling with some wooden pieces. She was putting a new desk together. On top of the desk was the huge empty cardboard box the pieces had come in. Mom smiled at Jordan, pointing at the desk, “What do you think?”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】(1)
Jordan’s eyes fell on the box and he smiled, “It’s perfect…with my wheelchair.” Seeing the puzzled look on his mum’s face, Jordan quickly told her the design of his new costume — MaxMag on his car. She smiled and gave him a thumbs up. “No time to wait! Let’s get started!” exclaimed his dad who just went in. For two nights, they cut, pasted, folded and unfolded the box; they drew on it and colored it to make it look like a real car; and they glued the old MaxMag costume onto it. When the new costume was finally ready, Jordan tried it on several times and continued to make necessary changes until satisfied.
Soon it was Friday night, and Jordan couldn’t wait to show his costume. When he wheeled himself into the party, he immediately spotted the three MaxMags. When they saw him, they couldn’t believe it. “The MaxMag and his car? That’s awesome!” Danny’s eyes lit up. “The wheels of your chair are just perfect!” said Tom. “You even have the headlights! It’s so cool.” Izzy pointed to the front. Jordan beamed. “Thanks!” When it was time to announce the winner, Jordan joined his friends by the stage. “The winner of this year’s Harvestfest costume contest is…”, the principal paused to read the name off the card, “Jordan Eastman!” Everyone clapped. “See? You just needed to be creative!” Alice said. “You mean think outside the box!” Jordan patted on the flaming-red car attached to his chair, with an iconic MaxMag smile.

Jordan’s eyes fell on the box and he smiled, “It’s perfect … with my wheelchair.” Realizing Mom was confused, he quickly added, “That’s a cool desk, Mum. But can I have the big box for the Harvestfest contest?” He then explained excitedly how to turn it into a mobile refrigerator. “Brilliant! You will definitely be the superhero of the party, serving people their favourite drinks,” Mum exclaimed with a broad smile. In the following days, his priority after school was designing and making the new costume, fixing it to his wheelchair and exquisitely making a door. Finally, he even prepared some soft drinks to surprise his friends.
Soon it was Friday night, and Jordan couldn’t wait to show his costume to his friends. When he wheeled himself in as a mobile refrigerator, he heard admiring exclamations, guessing about who it would be. Jordan felt an increasing sense of pride and satisfaction. When he spotted a chocolate bar, he quickly moved towards it, stopped just several inches in front and quickly opened the door. “Jordan, it’s you!” Alice cried out. Jordan passed her her favourite drink. “Thank you, Alice. That’s an idea outside the box.” That night, although he didn’t win the best costume award from the principal, Jordan felt like the real MaxMag: his body and soul were no longer confined to the wheelchair. And he came to realize: there is hidden potential in everyday items, and so it is with every individual.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了收获节比赛将在下周五举行，学校里的每个人都在谈论它。所有的学生都会穿着自己自制的服装出现，获胜者将由校长选出。Jordan在Alice的启发下，用纸板装扮了自己的轮椅车并赢得了比赛。

Well, well, well. It looks like robots are now coming for our beloved furry friends. According to a new study, animal robots may be just as effective, if not better, at providing therapeutic (治疗的) benefits to children as real pets. As someone who has both interacted with real dogs and robots, I can tell you that this is quite a bold claim.
Sure, robots may have some benefits over real dogs. They can work for longer hours and won’t cause allergies (过敏) or pass on diseases. But can a robot give you that wet-nosed, tail-wagging, slobber-filled experience that a real dog can? I think not.
Now, I’m not saying that robots don’t have their place in therapy. In fact, I can see how an animal robot could be helpful in certain situations where a real dog might not be possible. But let’s not go replacing all the good boys and girls with robots just yet.
As for the study, it’s interesting to see that while the kids said they loved real-life dogs better, they actually spent more time interacting with the robot. I can only imagine that it was doing some pretty impressive tricks, some robot dance or robot jokes maybe, to hold the kids’ attention for that long.
In all seriousness, though, I do think it’s important to consider the welfare of therapy dogs. Visiting hospitals can be stressful and tiring for them, and we should be exploring all options to make therapy experiences as positive and enjoyable as possible for both the animals and the patients.
So, while I may not be ready to trade in my furry friends for robots just yes, I am open to the idea of introducing animal robots into therapy programs. Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll all have our own personal robot pets that can provide us with just as much love and companionship as the real thing. But until then, I’ll stick with my trusty furry friends.
4. What is the text?
A. A response to a recent study. B. A summary of a scientific study.
C. A news report of a new invention. D. A review on a medical experiment.
5. What does the writer mean by saying “this is quite a bold claim” in paragraph 1?
A. The new study is quite a breakthrough. B. His personal experience supports the study.

6. Which of the following is a finding of the new study?
A. The kids preferred robot pets to real dogs.
B. Robots kept the kids’ interest for a longer time.
C. The kids’ concentration was effectively improved.
D. Robots had more tricks to impress kids than real dogs.
7. Why is the author open to the idea of using robots in therapy?
A. They can share some of therapy pets’ work.
B. They can guarantee the welfare of therapy pets.
C. They provide us with just as much love as real pets.
D. They are better at releasing patients’ stress and tiredness.

The best ideas are often so smart, so simple and so clearly needed; it’s strange to discover they don’t already exist. So it is with Farm My School, a program that’s turning underused land at secondary schools into commercially achievable, regenerative market gardens farmed by and for local communities.
Co-founded by permaculturist Ben Shaw and regenerative educator James McLennan, Farm My School connects local people and organizations through volunteering that helps establish a school’s market garden. Students learn about community networks, healthy eating, ecological responsibility, waste reduction, and climate relief while helping with food production. Schools integrate all these into their courses while producing vegetable boxes every week that feed local families, supply the school’s food needs and ultimately pay the farmer’s salary.
Farm My School has gained the extraordinary enthusiasm of the locals, who answered an online shout-out to buy tickets to the program’s launch event at Bell Secondary School last October. Called Build A Farm in a Day Festival, the event featured workshops by Ben and James to share the skills required to build what they say is the world’s largest no-dig garden. “It was such a powerful event, and I think that comes down to people wanting to act now,” says James. “We charged for the experience and 600 guys turned up! They didn’t even need free drinks to get excited. We were gardening till midnight. It was amazing. We’ve got true community buy-in.”
Volunteers have since begun beneficial planting throughout the school. Next steps include further discussions with local communities, employing a farmer, and bringing in a teacher to develop courses. “We’ve seen this huge push towards seeing schools as regenerative spaces, not just for planting but for kids to be more connected to the outside world, and really seeing the school in a whole new light,” James says. “For us, the big excitement is that by allowing a professional farmer to take the responsibility of growing food, it’s not only on the school to look after that farm anymore, which eventually makes it much more sustainable,” adds Ben.
8. Why was Farm My School founded?
A. To raise the income of the local people.
B. To advocate a commercial farming plan.
C. To provide free food for local communities.
D. To turn underused campus land into market gardens.
9. How do schools involve students into the program?
A. By developing program-based courses.
B. By organizing voluntary work in communities.
C. By offering them part-time jobs in the market gardens.
D. By encouraging them to produce daily vegetable boxes.
10. What does the underlined word “buy-in” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Competition. B. Investment. C. Support. D. Protection.
11. What is the highlight of the program according to Ben?
A. It brings in money to support the school. B. The school farm will be able to last long.
C. The local people will take care of the farm. D. Students connect more with the outside world.

D
In 1977, Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard graduate, decided to investigate the thought processes of another creature by talking to it. To do this, she would teach a one-year-old African gray parrot (鹦鹉), Alex, to reproduce the sounds of the English language.
Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she bad intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.
But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.
In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at. “What’s the same?” she asked. “Co-lor,” Alex responded without hesitation. “What’s different?” Pepperberg asked. “Shape,” Alex quickly replied. His voice had the sound of a cartoon character. But the words — and what can only be called the thoughts — were entirely his. Many of Alex’s skills, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationships and environments.
During the demonstration, as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain, Alex spoke up. “Talk clearly!” he commanded, when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching mispronounced the word “green”.
Alex knew all the answers himself and was getting bored. “He’s moody,” said Pepperberg, “so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.” Pepperberg was certainly learning more about the mind of a parrot, but like the parent of a troublesome teenager, she was learning the hard way.
12. Why did Pepperberg let the shop assistant choose the bird?
A. A bird with a small brain was needed. B. She wanted a very smart bird for her study.
C. A research subject should be randomly chosen. D. The shop assistant was better at choosing birds.
13. What might most researchers think of Pepperberg’s study at first?
A. Innovative. B. Practical. C. Costly. D. Fruitless.
14. Which of the following aspects of Alex’s ability did Pepperberg’s study focus on?
A. Understanding concepts. B. Calculating.
C. Recognizing voices. D. Creating English words.
15. What caused Pepperberg’s struggle in her study?
A. Her instructions had to be easy for Alex. B. Alex was sometimes too clever to control.
C. Alex would point out other birds’ mistakes. D. She had trouble understanding Alex’s mood.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了1977年，哈佛大学毕业生Irene Pepperberg决定通过与另一种生物交谈来研究它的思维过程。文章介绍了她研究鹦鹉的过程和遇到的困难。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she bad intentionally chosen an especially smart bird.( Pepperberg在一家宠物店买了Alex，她让店员挑选它，因为她不想让其他科学家说她故意选了一只特别聪明的鸟)”可知，Pepperberg让店员选鸟因为要随机选择研究对象。故选C。
13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.(考虑到Alex的大脑只有核桃那么大，大多数研究人员认为Pepperberg的交流研究是徒劳的)”可推知，大多数研究人员一开始认为Pepperberg的研究不会成功。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.(Pepperberg想深入他的思想，了解更多关于鸟对世界的理解)”和第四段的“Many of Alex’s skills, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world.(Alex的许多技能，比如他理解“相同”和“不同”概念的能力，在动物界是罕见的)”可知，Pepperberg的研究关注的是Alex理解概念的能力。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““He’s moody,” said Pepperberg, “so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.”(“他很情绪化，” Pepperberg说，“所以他会打断别人，或者他只是为了刁难别人而给出错误的答案。”)”可知，Alex有时太聪明了，无法控制导致Pepperberg在她的研究中陷入困境。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What makes a work of architecture great? Most people would argue that aesthetics are the most important. ____16____However, Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio believed that we should also consider durability and function when assessing a structure. The Rostonville Library in my city is a great example of Vitruvius’s principles.
Constructed entirely of granite — a hard and tough stone, the library is durable. It can withstand environmental pollution. For example, it is resistant to acid rain. Moreover, its granite structure is stable so it’s more likely to survive an earthquake._____17_____It uses solar energy for heating and a rooftop garden for cooling.
_____18_____Providing free access to print and digital information, it conveys a feeling of openness and accessibility. Furthermore, the entire library is on one level, and it has an open design — there are no inner walls or dividers. In addition, large windows let in plenty of natural light, so it’s easy to see and get to each department within the library.
Finally, the library is beautiful, with aesthetically pleasing details both inside and out. The large windows are copper-framed (铜框的). The copper color provides an interesting contrast against the color of the granite structure and it will remain as the copper ages. Growth from the rooftop garden, which reaches down the sides of the building, adds to the aesthetics of the building.______19______
Durability, functionality and beauty make the Rostonville Library a great structure. Architects who follow Vitruvius’s principles help to make the city more pleasant to live in._____20_____

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一座遵循特鲁威建筑原则的图书馆。
【16题详解】
根据上文“What makes a work of architecture great? Most people would argue that aesthetics are the most important.(是什么成就了伟大的建筑作品？大多数人会认为美学是最重要的)”以及后文“However, Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio believed that we should also consider durability and function when assessing a structure. The Rostonville Library in my city is a great example of Vitruvius’s principles.(然而，罗马建筑师Marcus Vitruvius Pollio认为，在评估一个结构时，我们也应该考虑耐久性和功能。我所在城市的罗斯顿维尔图书馆是维特鲁威原则的一个很好的例子)”可知，本句肯定上文“大多数人会认为美学是最重要的”的观点，与后文构成转折，故B选项“的确，美很重要”符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
根据后文“It uses solar energy for heating and a rooftop garden for cooling.(它利用太阳能供暖，屋顶花园降温)”可知，图书馆使用的是太阳能供暖，说明很环保可持续。故A选项“这座图书馆也是可持续的”符合语境，故选A。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Providing free access to print and digital information, it conveys a feeling of openness and accessibility. Furthermore, the entire library is on one level, and it has an open design — there are no inner walls or dividers. In addition, large windows let in plenty of natural light, so it’s easy to see and get to each department within the library.(它提供免费的印刷和数字信息，传达了一种开放和无障碍的感觉。此外，整个图书馆在一层，它有一个开放的设计——没有内墙或分隔。此外，大窗户让大量的自然光进入，所以很容易看到和到达图书馆内的每个部门)”可知，本段主要介绍了图书馆一些具有功能性的设计。故D选项“图书馆的设计考虑到了功能性”符合语境，故选D。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Finally, the library is beautiful, with aesthetically pleasing details both inside and out. The large windows are copper-framed (铜框的). The copper color provides an interesting contrast against the color of the granite structure and it will remain as the copper ages. Growth from the rooftop garden, which reaches down the sides of the building, adds to the aesthetics of the building.(最后，图书馆很漂亮，内外细节都很有美感。大窗户是铜。铜的颜色与花岗岩结构的颜色形成了有趣的对比，它将随着铜的年代而保持下去。从屋顶花园延伸到建筑的两侧，增加了建筑的美学)”可知，上文提到“从屋顶花园延伸到建筑的两侧，增加了建筑的美学”，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文说明这一做法的作用：它软化了结构的线条，帮助它融入自然环境。故E选项“它软化了结构的线条，帮助它融入自然环境”符合语境，故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Durability, functionality and beauty make the Rostonville Library a great structure. Architects who follow Vitruvius’s principles help to make the city more pleasant to live in.(耐用、功能和美观使罗斯顿维尔图书馆成为一个伟大的建筑。遵循维特鲁威原则的建筑师有助于使城市更宜居)”可知，上文提到了“遵循维特鲁威原则的建筑师有助于使城市更宜居”，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明遵循这些标准的建筑带来的影响：为用户提供了心灵的平静和美丽。故G选项“满足这些标准的建筑为用户提供了心灵的平静和美丽”符合语境，故选G。

Outside the Box
The Harvestfest contest was falling on Friday and everyone in school was talking about it. All the students would show up in their self-made costumes and a winner would be chosen by the principal.
“Do you have your costume for the Harvestfest contest?” Alice asked. “I’m going as a chocolate bar. My mom and I have been working on it all week.”
“Yeah, I have a costume,” said Jordan Eastman, popping up the two front wheels of his wheelchair as he waited for his dad to pick him up. “But it’s boring.”
“Why? What is it?” Alice asked.
“MaxMag the superhero, but Danny, Tom and Izzy are all going as MaxMag too.” Jordan shook his head. “That’s too many to stand a chance at winning the contest.” He waved to his dad, who had just pulled up in front of the school.
Jordan rolled his wheelchair toward his dad, and Alice walked with him to the minivan.
“Maybe you should go as something else.”
“The contest is Friday night.” Jordan sighed. “It’s too late to change costumes.”
“Jordan, you have to think outside the box. Look around your house and see what you have. There’s hidden potential in everyday items.” She took a sip of her drink, and told Jordan that her chocolate-bar costume was made from old fabric her mom had lying around and recycled plastics.
On his way home, Jordan was quiet. He kept thinking about Alice’s words: Think outside the box. There’s hidden potential in everyday items. When he got home, he found his mum handling with some wooden pieces. She was putting a new desk together. On top of the desk was the huge empty cardboard box the pieces had come in. Mom smiled at Jordan, pointing at the desk, “What do you think?”

【答案】(1)
Jordan’s eyes fell on the box and he smiled, “It’s perfect…with my wheelchair.” Seeing the puzzled look on his mum’s face, Jordan quickly told her the design of his new costume — MaxMag on his car. She smiled and gave him a thumbs up. “No time to wait! Let’s get started!” exclaimed his dad who just went in. For two nights, they cut, pasted, folded and unfolded the box; they drew on it and colored it to make it look like a real car; and they glued the old MaxMag costume onto it. When the new costume was finally ready, Jordan tried it on several times and continued to make necessary changes until satisfied.
Soon it was Friday night, and Jordan couldn’t wait to show his costume. When he wheeled himself into the party, he immediately spotted the three MaxMags. When they saw him, they couldn’t believe it. “The MaxMag and his car? That’s awesome!” Danny’s eyes lit up. “The wheels of your chair are just perfect!” said Tom. “You even have the headlights! It’s so cool.” Izzy pointed to the front. Jordan beamed. “Thanks!” When it was time to announce the winner, Jordan joined his friends by the stage. “The winner of this year’s Harvestfest costume contest is…”, the principal paused to read the name off the card, “Jordan Eastman!” Everyone clapped. “See? You just needed to be creative!” Alice said. “You mean think outside the box!” Jordan patted on the flaming-red car attached to his chair, with an iconic MaxMag smile.

Jordan’s eyes fell on the box and he smiled, “It’s perfect … with my wheelchair.” Realizing Mom was confused, he quickly added, “That’s a cool desk, Mum. But can I have the big box for the Harvestfest contest?” He then explained excitedly how to turn it into a mobile refrigerator. “Brilliant! You will definitely be the superhero of the party, serving people their favourite drinks,” Mum exclaimed with a broad smile. In the following days, his priority after school was designing and making the new costume, fixing it to his wheelchair and exquisitely making a door. Finally, he even prepared some soft drinks to surprise his friends.
Soon it was Friday night, and Jordan couldn’t wait to show his costume to his friends. When he wheeled himself in as a mobile refrigerator, he heard admiring exclamations, guessing about who it would be. Jordan felt an increasing sense of pride and satisfaction. When he spotted a chocolate bar, he quickly moved towards it, stopped just several inches in front and quickly opened the door. “Jordan, it’s you!” Alice cried out. Jordan passed her her favourite drink. “Thank you, Alice. That’s an idea outside the box.” That night, although he didn’t win the best costume award from the principal, Jordan felt like the real MaxMag: his body and soul were no longer confined to the wheelchair. And he came to realize: there is hidden potential in everyday items, and so it is with every individual.
