Dr David Crocker is giving a lecture all about ants---the different types of ants, how they organize themselves, what they eat, their behavior and so on. It's from 11 o' clock to 12o' clock. At midday, that' s 12 o' clock, there's a film which is just as fascinating, called The Great Migration. This is all about birds and how they move across continents and oceans. As I said, it's a film which all the family will enjoy, and it’s on in Theater C, which you can see here just behind me, just a little farther down the hall past Theater A and Theater B----so bear that in mind for 12 o' clock. It will last 45 minutes. The next event is called Encouraging Garden Wildlife and will take place in the Exhibition Room with Monica Chaddha. Monica will be showing you ways of encouraging animals, birds. and other wildlife to visit and live in your garden, how to place boxes for nests, what food to put out for them and all sorts of practical advice. That’s at 2: 30, so just after lunch, and will last half an hour. 【17 题详解】 此为听力题，解析略 【18 题详解】 此为听力题，解析略 【19 题详解】 此为听力题，解析略 【20 题详解】 此为听力题，解析略 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分 40 分) 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑。 A Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge This modern-art gallery in a Victorian house was founded in the 1950s by Tate Jim and reopened in February following a two-year redevelopment by Jamie Fobert Architects, the team behind the 2017 Tate Steves extension.

Behind the counter was a lady like no one I’d ever seen. “Excuse me,” I said. She looked up and said, “I’m Miss Bee.” “I need to get these.” I said, holding up my list. “So? Go get them. ” Miss Bee pointed to a sign. “There’s no one here except you and me and I’m not your servant, so get yourself a basket from that pile.” I visited Miss Bee twice a week that summer. Sometimes she shortcharged me. Other times she overcharged. Going to the store was like going into battle. All summer long she found ways to trick me. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce “bicarbonate of soda” and memorized its location on the shelves than she made me hunt for it all over again. But by summer’s end the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes. “All right, little girl,” she said. “What did you learn this summer?” “That you’re a meanie!” I replied. Miss Bee just laughed and said, “I know what you think of me. Well, I don’t care! My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons. When you get older you’ll be glad!” Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! The idea was absurd… Until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles. “It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?” “If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said. Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way to add up my bill by myself. Had I ever been overcharged since? 24.

Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way to add up my bill by myself.可知，作者提到她的女儿是为了告诉读者 Miss Bee 对她的影响。故选 C。 【27 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句 When I spent the summer with my grandmother, she always set me down to the general store with a list.可知，本文讲述的是吝啬的奶奶给作者上 了宝贵的一课。故选 C。 C Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials will help strengthen the related knowledge and skills. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are also an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development. 28. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. People remember well what they learned in childhood. B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups. C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words. D. Stories for children are easy to remember. 29. The author explains the law of overlearning by _______. A. presenting research findings B. analysing statistics C. making a comparison D. using examples 30. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _______. A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies 31. What does the underlined word “cramming” in the last paragraph refer to? A. A way which leads to failure in college exams. B. A study method only helpful in a limited way. C. A way that will result in good memory. D. An approach to increasing students’ learning interest. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【28 题详解】 段落大意题。第一段主要讲述大人们在儿时学会的东西，即使多年不复习还是可以记得很清 楚。故选 A，人们在儿时学习的知识记得很好。 【29 题详解】 推理判断题。作者在解释超量学习法则的时候，运用了乘法口诀和考试前突击学习的例子。 故选 D，举例。 【30 题详解】 细节理解题。根据 because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.“因 为这是我们儿时超量学习的另一个结果。”故选 A，超量学习的而结果。 【31 题详解】 词义猜测题。最后一段解释考试之前的突击学习。By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.“通过突击学习，学生可以通过考试，但是很快就会忘记所 学。”可知，这种方式仅适用于考前，突击学习在限定的方式下有用。由此推知划线词的意 思是“一种只在有限的范围内有用的学习方法”。故选 B。 D If you thought pilots dimmed（调暗）the lights before takeoff to give you some shuteye, think again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency. The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.” The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight. Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky. 32. The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______. A. escape in time of emergency B. take a short break C. create a comfortable atmosphere D. enjoy themselves 33. Which of the following is True according to Paragragh 2 and 3? A. Dimming lights is required when accidents happen. B. Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light. C. Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights. D. It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight. 34. What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation” time? A. Slowing down the landing. B. Adjusting the plane lights. C. Keeping passengers calm. D. Helping the crew judge outside risks. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. A tip to make air travel safer. B. An emergency event happening on a plane. C. An explanation of an airline safety measure. D. A warning message from the pilot. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【32 题详解】 细节里解题。根据文章第二段 The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape.可知，飞机起飞前灯光关掉，其目的是帮助乘客在紧急情况下逃生。故选 A。 【33 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中 Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide 可 知，我们的眼睛需要一些时间来适应光的变化。故选 B。 【34 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段 It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape 可知，缩短暗适应 时间，可以帮助空乘人员评估外面的风险。故选 D。 【35 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意：文章主要讲述了飞机起飞前都需要调暗灯光，而这一点能够在 飞机紧急情况下帮助挽救你的生命，可知文章是航空公司安全措施的解释。故选 C。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I chose to take psychology because one is able to better understand himself, understand others, and learn how people think, so I can use that to my advantage in the business world. ___36___By learning psychology I will learn how and why I think the way I think.
