Can you imagine a world without fire, where food can’t be cooked and there is no way to stay warm in winter? In ancient times, our ancestors lived under such conditions.

Back then, people didn’t know that there was fire, let alone how to use it. When night fell, it was as black as a hole, and the cries of wild animals could be heard in the air. People had to stay close together, cold and scared. Without fire, they had to eat raw (生的) food, which often made them ill, leading to early deaths.

This is the point in the story when Suiren appears. Ancient texts show that there was once a place called Suiming, where people didn’t know about the change of seasons or the difference between day and night. In that land, a huge tree called the Sui Wood grew widely.

Much later, a wise man visited the land and rested under the tree. Suddenly, a large bird pecked at the tree, and bright fires broke out. After seeing what the bird did, the man took a small branch (树枝) and drilled it to make fire. From then on, he was known as Suiren.

Suiren became the first person to create fire in ancient China, teaching people to cook food, ending the age of eating raw meat. This made humans different from animals and he is honored as the “Fire Ancestor”. Every year, different kinds of events related to fire culture are held to honor the great man. Suiren’s value goes beyond teaching humans to use fire. He also opened a new era in the development of human civilization (文明).

36．Why does the writer use a question in paragraph 1?

A．To introduce a fact.B．To doubt an opinion.

C．To attract readers’ interest.D．To explain the background.

A．The dog is well drilled in keeping the door.

B．The doctor is drilling a hole in Tom’s tooth.

C．The captain often drills the soldiers in the wild.

D．The teacher is drilling the class to read the words.

39．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

C．The growth of Chinese civilization.D．The process of creating fire.

40．Which words can best describe Suiren?

The possibility of living on Mars is being explored after a study proved the discovery of saltwater lakes below the surface of Mars.

Billions of years ago, the climate of Mars was warm and wet and had the possibility for hosting microbial (微生物的) life. Scientists are not 100 percent sure what happened to water on it. One popular general idea is solar (太阳的) wind. According to the idea, the solar wind likely blew away CO₂ as well as small drops of water from air on Mars over the past billion years, leaving the planet with only 10 percent of its beginning amount of water today.

It is just like when we get our skin wet and there are small drops of water on the surface, the wind will finally dry us off, and the water will be carried away. This is very likely to happen to Mars, causing the surface to become hard and dry.

This discovery was made with the help of the European Space Agency’s Mars Express spaceship, which sent out radio waves to the planet’s surface. Scientists decided what material their radio waves met with. The area with the supposed bodies of water had high reflectivity (反射率), which is why scientists believe that water is stored below the surface.

With temperatures as low as the average on Mars, water is supposed to be frozen. But scientists think that water on Mars is able to keep a water form because of the high level of the salt—so high that the possibility of active life surviving in such a condition is pretty low.

With the salty water and an unsuitable climate, Mars is now not fit to live on. But scientists are still trying to learn more about the life forms that once possibly lived on the planet.

41．What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代) in paragraph 2?

A．Earth.B．Solar surface.C．Mars.D．Microbial life.

42．Why is the human’s skin mentioned in paragraph 3?

A．To explain the great influence of solar wind.

B．To provide further information about Mars.

C．To stress the importance of water on Mars.

D．To suggest keeping skin from getting dry.

43．How did the researchers prove there is water on Mars?

A．By sending out the spaceship to Mars.

B．By measuring the amount of salt on Mars.

C．By checking the materials collected from Mars.

D．By noticing the number of reflected radio waves.

44．What do scientists think of the future living on Mars?

A．Comfortable.B．Hopeful.C．Disappointed.D．Uncaring.

45．What’s the best title of the passage?

A．The Exploration of Energy on MarsB．The Situation of Living Things on Mars

C．The Explanation of The Climate on MarsD．The Discovery of Saltwater Lakes on Mars

（D）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Winding through the remains of a centuries-old watchtower, a four-legged robot checked the “health” of the ancient structure at Shanhaiguan Pass. With smart sensors (传感器) and cameras, the robot can     51     (exact) find problems such as cracks and missing bricks and report them to related departments in real-time.

“The robot can take the place of humans     52     (perform) dangerous and difficult examinations, improving both the speed     53     quality of the Great Wall protection,” says Liu Liang, head of a research team from the Hebei Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources Exploration.

Carefully     54     (check) the walls is the first step in the Great Wall protection. Zhang Peng, 38, is among the     55     (pioneer) who started using drones (无人机) in 2017 as part of regular checks over the walls. “Drones can help monitor (监测) walls that are     56     (possible) for humans to reach,” Zhang says.

In recent years, China     57     (put) in a lot of effort to protect the Great Wall through the use of cutting-edge technologies. These technologies make the Great Wall stronger. At the same time, they work as a bridge connecting people     58     the Wall and raising public awareness of its protection.

“We hope such application can inspire young     59     (people) love for the Great Wall and develop     60     stronger sense of responsibility for its future protection,” says Zhang.

五、任务型阅读

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，在下面的表格中填入与文章意思最符合的单词，每空填一词。

Your dog turns its head when you cry, moves around when you’re stressed and shows up by your side in your worst moments. Why are they so sweet? After thousands of years of living with us, dogs have learned to pick up on our voices, faces and even our smells.

Dogs’ brains have areas that react (回应) to voices, just like ours do. Scientists found that certain brain parts light up when dogs hear voices. They don’t just notice the sound itself, but also the feelings in your words.

Dogs are also good at reading faces. When they look at pictures of human faces, their brain activity rises. An MDPI study showed that seeing a familiar face starts a dog’s emotional (情感的) center.

Interestingly, dogs can even smell emotions. In a 2018 study, dogs introduced to sweat from frightened people showed more stress than dogs that smelled “happy” sweat. Simply put, your worry has a smell your dog can pick up, while your calmness helps them relax.

So how did dogs get so good at reading our emotions? The answer is in evolution (进化). A Russian fox experiment found that foxes raised for friendliness develop better in the emotional center. For dogs, thousands of years beside humans have improved their abilities to read our social and emotional signs.

1．D

【详解】句意：——妈妈，学做家务太无聊了。——亲爱的，我不能为你做所有事情。你最好学会照顾你自己。

3．C

【详解】句意：——你知道为什么人工智能被用来创作音乐吗？——我不确定。也许它比雇佣音乐家更便宜。

4．B

【详解】句意：——每年都有成千上万的游客来到广元。——据报道，其中将近三分之二来自其他省份。

英语中分数的表达规则是：分子用基数词，分母用序数词；当分子大于1时，分母序数词要用复数形式。本题表示“三分之二”，分子是two，大于1，因此分母third需要加s变成thirds。应填two thirds。

5．D

【详解】句意：—— 为什么风能在农村被广泛使用？—— 因为它花费少并且永远不会用完。此外，它产生很少的污染。

blow out吹灭；put out扑灭；come out出来；run out用完。根据“wind energy”可知风能是可再生能源，不会耗尽，run out符合语境。

【导语】本文主要讲述了中国古代燧人氏发明钻木取火的故事，介绍了没有火时期原始人类的艰苦生活，阐述了燧人氏取火对人类文明发展的重大意义。

【详解】36．文章第一段开头使用问句“Can you imagine...?”是为了引发读者思考，吸引读者的阅读兴趣，从而自然引出下文关于火的重要性及古代生活的话题。

37．根据第二段描述“...When night fell, it was as black as a hole, and the cries of wild animals could be heard in the air...”，没有火时人们寒冷、害怕野兽、吃生食导致生病早逝，可知当时生活非常艰难。

38．文中划线词“drilled”在“drilled it to make fire”中意为“钻孔/钻”，指物理上的旋转钻孔动作。B选项中牙医给牙齿钻孔也是此意。A、C、D 选项中的drill均为引申义，意为“训练”或“操练”。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了‌火星地下咸水湖相关的科学研究与推论，研究证实火星地下存在咸水湖，数十亿年前火星曾温暖宜居，主流观点认为太阳风夺走了火星绝大多数水分，如今靠欧空局探测器的高反射率探测确认了地下储水，但高盐低温环境几乎无法留存生命，当下火星仍不适合居住。

【详解】41．根据第二段前一句“Billions of years ago, the climate of Mars was warm and wet...”可知，科学家不确定的是火星上的水发生了什么，因此代词it指代的是Mars。

42．第三段将火星表面水分流失比作风吹干湿润的皮肤（It is just like when we get our skin wet... the wind will finally dry us off），旨在通过类比生动地解释太阳风（solar wind）对火星水分流失的巨大影响，导致火星表面变得干燥。

43．根据第四段“Scientists decided what material their radio waves met with. The area with the supposed bodies of water had high reflectivity...”可知，科学家是通过发射无线电波并检测其反射率（reflected radio waves）来证明火星表面下存在水的。

44．文章最后一段“With the salty water and an unsuitable climate, Mars is now not fit to live on. But scientists are still trying to learn more about the life forms that once possibly lived on the planet.”提到火星目前不适宜居住，但科学家仍在探索火星宜居的可能性、坚持研究火星，说明对未来人类在火星居住仍抱有希望。

45．文章首段即点明主题“The possibility of living on Mars is being explored after a study proved the discovery of saltwater lakes...”，随后围绕火星咸水湖的发现、成因、探测方法及意义展开，因此“火星咸水湖的发现”是最合适的标题。

【导语】本文介绍手工礼物的诸多优点，包括传递心意、经济环保、培养生活技能、增进亲子共处时光四个方面。

【详解】46．前文说手工礼物费时费力，后文讲它意义独特，C项“While it requires planning, the effort is worth it”起到了承上启下的作用，既承认了付出的努力，又引出了其价值。

47．前文给出两种获取手工礼物的途径：自己制作、网购成品，B项“Either way, they show your heartfelt feelings”总结两种情况，符合逻辑。

48．本段主题实惠又环保，前文说明手工多用家中已有材料，省钱又环保，D项“However, creating gifts on a budget doesn’t mean no value”承接上文，引出空后手工礼物的特别之处。

49．本段主题是教授生活技能，E项“Making handmade gifts teaches children valuable life abilities”总起本段，和后文技能举例对应。

50．空后段落说明制作手工能让家长和孩子共度有意义的时光，A项“Creating Quality Time Together”作为本段小标题，契合段落核心内容。

【导语】本文介绍科技在长城保护中的应用，包括四足机器人和无人机对长城的监测与检查。

【详解】51．句意：这款机器人搭载智能传感器与摄像头，能够精准发现墙体裂缝、砖块脱落等破损问题，并实时上报给相关部门。空格处修饰动词“find”，需用副词作状语，表示“精确地”，exact的副词形式是exactly。

52．句意：该机器人可以替代人工开展高危、高难度巡检工作，同步提升长城保护工作的效率与质量。“take the place of sb. to do sth.”意为“代替某人去做某事”，后接动词不定式作目的状语，故填to perform。

53．句意：河北省地质矿产勘查研究院课题组负责人刘亮表示：“该机器人可以替代人工开展高危、高难度巡检工作，同步提升长城保护工作的效率与质量。”空格连接“speed”和“quality”，表示两者都提高，需用并列连词and。

54．句意：细致巡查墙体是长城保护工作的首要环节。空格处在句中作主语，表示“检查”这一行为，需用动名词形式；位于句首，需首字母大写，故用Checking。

55．句意：38 岁的张鹏是先行者之一，他们早在 2017 年就启用无人机开展长城常态化巡检。“among the+可数名词复数”是固定搭配，pioneer的复数形式是pioneers。

56．句意：张鹏说：“无人机可以协助巡查人类难以抵达的城墙地段。”空格前“are”后需用形容词作表语；根据句意，表示“不可能的”，possible加否定前缀im-变为impossible。

57．句意：近些年，我国大量运用前沿科技，投入诸多力量开展长城保护工作。时间状语“In recent years”是现在完成时的标志，表示从过去持续到现在的动作；主语“China”是单数，put的现在完成时形式为has put。

58．句意：与此同时，这些先进技术搭建起大众与长城之间的桥梁，提升民众的长城保护意识。空格表示“连接……与……”，需用介词with，“connect...with...”为固定搭配。

59．句意：张鹏说道：“我们希望这类技术应用能够唤起年轻人对长城的热爱，让他们树立更强的长城长效保护责任感。”空格后“love”需用名词所有格作定语，表示“年轻人的”，people的复数所有格形式是people’s。

60．句意：张鹏说道：“我们希望这类技术应用能够唤起年轻人对长城的热爱，让他们树立更强的长城长效保护责任感。”“sense”为可数名词单数，此处表示泛指“一种”，且stronger是辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a修饰。

Reason

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了狗能够感知人类情绪的能力及其背后的科学依据，包括狗对声音、面部表情和气味的反应，并从进化的角度解释了这种能力形成的原因。

【详解】61．根据文章标题及全文内容可知，文章主要探讨了狗能感知人类情绪背后的原因。第一段提出“Why are they so sweet?”，随后全文都在解释这一现象的原因。标题意为“发现狗感知我们情绪能力背后的原因”，reasons表示“原因”，因此本空填“reasons”。

62．根据文章第1段“Why are they so sweet…dogs have learned to pick up on our voices, faces and even our smells.”可知，狗很贴心是因为它们能注意到我们的声音、脸甚至气味。表格中“Dogs are”后应填形容词，因此第二空填“sweet”。

63．根据文章第3段“Dogs are also good at reading faces.”可知，狗在解读面部方面做得很好。表格中“do …in”是固定搭配do well in“在……方面做得好”，因此第三空填“well”。

64．根据文章第4段“Simply put, your worry has a smell your dog can pick up, while your calmness helps them relax.”可知，当你担忧或冷静时，都会散发出狗能闻到的气味。表格中“worried”是形容词，此处也需填形容词与之一致，“calmness”的形容词形式为calm，因此第四空填“calm”。

65．根据文章第5段“So how did dogs get so good at reading our emotions? The answer is in evolution.”可知，本段主要解释了狗拥有这种能力的原因。表格左侧为各部分的小标题，“Introduction”、“Abilities”、“Scientific findings”均为名词概括，此处应填“Reason”原因来概括本段内容，且首字母需大写，因此此处需填“Reason”。
