It's a little hard to figure out the rules for sure but the baby African buffalo (水牛）seems to have the upper hand. The two stand a couple feet apart, staring at each other. Behind them, their mothers look on with the kind of indifference (不关心）of mothers everywhere who see their kids playing a harmless game.
The alarm went off about half an hour ago, the second time tonight. Here，one bell means "elephant ",two "rhino"(犀牛），and three and four，I really can't remember for what，because when you' re awoken by bells in the middle of the night，your first thought won’t be Animall", But as soon as I realized it was the rhino alarm, I was running for the stairs.
Yet I'm the only one watching the animals stare-down. Either nobody else died of a heart attack when the bells went off, or 1 was the only one in the entire hotel who didn't turn the alarm switch to off before going to bed.
The Ark, a hotel shaped like the biblical ark(圣经的方舟), lies in the highlands of Kenya’s Aberdare National Park, about 100 kilometers north of Nairobi. At the Ark's prow (船首) are huge windows overlooking a waterhole. Earlier tonight，I'd watched a pack of wolves, buffalos and elephants. And now, at Three or so in the mornings I'm down for the round of rhino bells. The first time, 2.5 hours ago, it was a single black rhino, which came down, got a drink, and left.
I'd have been sorry for the lost sleep. I've already arranged with a guide to take me out at sunrise for the so-called "should-never-missed" bird-watching, where well gel to see 30 species, but really, how many times in your life will you get to wake up and say，"Wow! Rhinor? Isn't that the definition of a pretty good right? Last week we went from Uganda into Kenya，Before I left home, I thought I'd be happy with ten elephants and five or six giraffes on the whole trip.I didn't dare to dream the rhinor.
4．The message that the hotel's bells sent was .

B．should be turned off whenever it rings,
C．It visitors have a chance to see buffalos.
D．It Is a very bad way to wake the guests up.

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一次作者在肯尼亚阿布戴尔国家公园附近的酒店里半夜看野生动物的难忘经历。
4．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I really can't remember for what，because when you' re awoken by bells in the middle of the night，your first thought won’t be Animal"”可知，作者很难详细记住酒店铃声传递的信息，故B项正确。
5．推理判断题。根据第二段的描述可知，作者很难记住每一种铃声传递的信息，因为半夜铃响的时候，你的第一反应不是动物，但是作者听到两声响铃的犀牛警告时，马上冲下楼梯，由此推知作者认为酒店的铃声是无聊的，但两声的犀牛警报还是值得期待的，故A项正确。
6．词义猜测题。上文说作者迫不及待地冲下楼看犀牛，再结合画线词前的“Yet I'm the only one watching the animals stare-down.”可知，我是酒店里唯一一个注视着犀牛的人，由此可知当时作者非常兴奋，由此可知画线词词义为“极度兴奋”，故B项正确。
7．推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，第一次铃声是在两点半，只有一头犀牛，第二次是半小时后，出现了一头犀牛和一头水牛，再结合第一段中的“It's a little hard to figure out the rules for sure but the baby African buffalo (水牛）seems to have the upper hand. The two stand a couple feet apart, staring at each other.”可知，凌晨三点时，作者看到一头水牛正在和一头犀牛对视，令人想不到的是水牛竟然占了上风，故C项正确。
Don't get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promised to be studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A University of lowa(UI) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.
"For the teenager, 'the rewands are attractive." says Professor Jatin Vaidya，an author of the study. "They draw adolescent. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults ."
For parents,that means limiting distraction (分心的事情）so teenagers can make better chokes. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facehook or Twitter, the researchers advise. "I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed access to technology," Vaidya says. But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse-control skills.”
In their study,Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive（冲动的)，make bad decisions，and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes（额叶）of their trains are not fully dweloped. But the UI researchers wondered. whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level reasoning.
"We wanted to try to understand the brain's reward system how it change from chilhood to adulthood," Says Vaidya, who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. “We've been tring to understand the reward process in adolescence and Whether there is more to adolescence hehavior than an under-developed frontal lobe,”he adds.For their study ,the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16,and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to particpate.
In the future,researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological（神经学上的）aspects of their results.
8．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．The initial rush of texting is less attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.
B．Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.
C．Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.
D．Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world.
Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupundure，cupping and massage (针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on US.swimmer Michael Phelps' back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.
As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment.It is therefore disheartening to know that-while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture，not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing parity to the slow development of Chinese herbs.
Herbs, are made into pills,powder and soup, and the kind of herbs uscd1 their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately,standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs.
Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity, While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyour's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her rescearch into malaria(疟疾）treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.
12．The author mentions the example of Michael Phelps in order to show .
A．he was injured in his swimming.
B．cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.
C．westerners know little about TCM.
D．westerners attach great importance to TCM.
13．Why don't some member countries of WIIO recognize Chinese herbal medicine?
A．Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases
B．Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture
C．Because western medicine 15 more effective
D．Because medicine made out or Chinese herbs develops slowly
14．Compared with Western medicine，what is the main weak point of TCM ?
A．The methods of processing herbs.
B．The effediveness of prescription.
C．Lacking in standardization.
D．Its unstable functions.
15．The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that .
A．medidne-making companies lack creativity.
B．prescriptions are got from the past.
C．Wesiem companies are mom experienced.
D．medicine-making companies jack driving force

14．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization”可知，与西医相比，中医的缺点是缺乏标准化，故D项正确。
15．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past.”可知，中医缺乏创造性指的是中医的处方是从过去传承下来的，故D项正确。
Tolerance means tolerating or pulling up with differences.
16．This concept means different things to different people, but it is when something is disagreeable that tolerance is expected, and in more politically correct cultures, demanded.
There are many different ways to show tolerance. A person might fully disagree with other on any issue,while at the same respecting those with different opinions and treat them with dignity17．.
One problem is the fact this respect is sometimes one-sided. 18．, but some supporters feel reasonable in labeling those who disagree with hateful terms,and vice versa.People on both sides of an issue must be tolerant of each other.
19． ,It does not mean that a.person has to accept actions or ideas that are against his or her values or beliefs. it means that each person agrees to respect the other's right to his or her feelings on the matter. When both parties have expressed their opinions, and it is obvious that neither is likely to change position, agreeing to disagree is often the ideal outcome.
Some degree of tolerance is necessary in any civilized society.20．.It goes against human nature. Putting up with differences is a virtue that requires honest effort on the part of every person. It takes time to develop.
A.Therefore, both parties should change their opinions if necessary.
B．It is widely accepted that tolerance is a critical step towards a peaceful world.
C.IE refers to showing respect for the race, religion and opinions of other people.
D．Disagreement alone does not equal intolerance.
E. However, it is not realistic to believe that all people can achieve it completely on every issue.
F.Those who disagree with a particular issue must respect the opinions of those who support it.
G. When it conies to controversial issues，tolerance may also represent a let's agree to disagree" altitude.

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了分歧本身不等于不宽容，一个人可以不同意别人的意见，但要尊重他人，同时指出在文明社会里，一定程度的宽容是必要的，但在每一件上都做到宽容是不可能的，我们要本着“让我们接受不同观点”的态度来解决分歧。
16．根据本空后的“This concept”可知，此处需要提到一个概念，故C项（IE指的是尊重他人的种族、宗教和观点）符合语境。
17．根据本空前的“A person might fully disagree with other on any issue,while at the same respecting those with different opinions and treat them with dignity”可知，一个人可以不同意别人的意见，但要尊重他人，此处说的是分歧和尊重的关系，故D项（分歧本身不等于不宽容）符合语境。
18．上文说有时这种尊重是单方面的，后文又说一些支持者认为，给那些不同意仇恨言论的人贴上标签是合理的，反之亦然，此处说的是关于反对的人和支持的人的内容，故F项（不同意某一特定问题的人必须尊重支持该问题的人的意见）符合语境。
19．根据本空后的“It does not mean that a person has to accept actions or ideas that are against his or her values or beliefs. it means that each person agrees to respect the other's right to his or her feelings on the matter”可知，这并不意味着一个人必须接受与他的价值观相悖的行为或想法，而是意味着每个人都同意尊重对方对他在这件事上的感受的权利，此处是说面对有争议问题时的做法，故G项（当它涉及到有争议的问题时，宽容也可能代表着“让我们接受不同观点”的态度）符合语境。
20．上文说在文明社会里，一定程度的宽容是必要的，后文又说这违反人性，此处是说在每一件上都做到宽容是不可能的，故E项（然而，认为所有人都在每个问题上都能做到这一点是不现实的）符合语境。

【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。作者家里养了两只宠物，Chip 和 Goldie，有一次Chip掉进碗里被Goldie捞了上来。他们逐渐成长为最好的朋友，一起吃饭，一起玩耍。
41．考查时态。句意：我们的长尾小鹦鹉Chip 和 Goldie，我们收养的一只龟甲色的流浪猫，后来成长为最好的朋友，一起吃饭，一起玩耍。讲述过去发生的事情用一般过去时态，故答案为grew。
42．考查介词。句意：当时我是一个鸟类保护组织的成员，所以我们经常照顾受伤的鸟类。此处表示所有，“……的”，故答案为of。
43．考查名词复数。句意：当时我是一个鸟类保护组织的成员，所以我们经常照顾受伤的鸟类。此处用名词复数，故答案为birds。
44．考查现在分词。句意：Goldie帮助饲养了几十只受伤的和孤立的本土鸟类，充当了一名警惕的守护者。此处Goldie和act之间是一种主动关系，做自然的结果状语，故答案为acting。
45．考查过去分词做宾语补足语。句意：我在厨房里留了一大碗露在外面的煎饼面糊。根据后文Chip偷吃面糊可知，面糊是没盖，故用uncover，再根据与pancake batter是被动关系，故用过去分词做宾语补足语，故答案为uncovered。
46．考查不定冠词。句意：Chip爬上了碗，尝了一口，但很快就掉进去并沉了下去。结合句意，可知答案为a。
47．考查副词。句意：很幸运，Goldie就在身边，把脸贴在碗里把Chip捞上来。此处是副词修饰整个句子，故答案为Luckily。
48．考查定语从句。句意：我跟着Goldie回到厨房，他也被覆盖上了面糊，在地板上发现了一个弄脏了的小鹦鹉。此处Goldie是先行词，拟人手法，后面的非限制性定语从句缺少引导词和主语，故答案为who。
49．考查并列连词。句意：我跟着Goldie回到厨房，他也被覆盖上了面糊，在地板上发现了一个弄脏了的的小鹦鹉。此处是并列的谓语，故用连词and。
50．考查名词。形容词修饰名词，再根据前面的a，可知此处用名词单数，故答案为recovery。

My father's friend Henry used to be a teacher at a medical school and he was very strict to his students. The students were afraid of him though he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. Once a student seated before him, and Henry required him to describing a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK. Then Henry asked about the cure for the illness, but the student gave the right answer. “How much will you give the patient? ""A full spoor’s!" Suddenly the student realizes that there was anything wrong. He said anxiously,"I've made the mistake：a full spoon is too many, and he can take only five drops." "It's too late；your patient has been died," Henry said coldly.

【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了爸爸的朋友亨利曾经是一名医学老师，他对学生的要求非常严格，本二你就列举了一个他严格要求学生的例子。
【详解】
第一处：考查固定搭配。句意：他对学生要求非常严格。be strict with表示“对……严格要求”，故to改为with。
第二处：考查连词。句意：学生们都怕他，因为他对他们的回答很少满意。此处表示因果而非让步关系，故though改为because。
第三处：考查时态和固定搭配。句意：有一次，一名学生坐在他前面。be seated表示“坐下”，Once表明应该用一般过去时，故student后加was。
第四处：考查非谓语动词。句意：亨利要求他描述一种疾病。require sb to do表示“要求某人做某事”，故describing改为describe。
第五处：考查连词。句意：然后亨利问了关于这种疾病的治疗方法，学生给出了正确的答案。此处表示顺承而非转折关系，故but改为and。
第六处：考查时态。句意：突然，学生意识到有什么不对。事情发生在过去，应该用一般过去时，故realizes改为realized。
第七处：考查代词。句意参考上题解析，学生意识到有不对的地方，故anything改为something。
第八处：考查冠词。句意：我犯了一个错误。此处泛指一个错误，故the改为a。
第九处：考查too much和too many的区别。句意：一满勺的量太多了。根据前面的How much 可知，此处表示不可数名词，too much修饰不可数名词，too many修饰可数名词，故many改为much。
第十处：考查语态。句意：太迟了，病人已经死了。此处强调“死亡”这个动作刚刚发生，patient 与die之间是主动关系，不用被动语态，故has后been去掉。
【点睛】
本篇改错的第十处很有难度，注意have died与have been dead的区别，have died强调“死亡”这个动作刚刚发生，have been dead强调陈述事实，此处强调“死亡”这个动作已经发生或刚刚发生，应该用have died。

知识点：书面表达
Dear Jack,
How are you doing? Are you also as busy with your study as we are now? We Senior 3 students are suffering from great pressure due to the fierce competition in study. To help deal with this problem, our Students Union will hold a Psychological Health Week next week, the theme of which is how to relieve mental pressure.
In the whole week, there will be various kinds of activities. A lecture given by a psychological professor on what to do with the pressure of study will provide us with professional psychological guidance. There will also be a drama which will show us an excellent performance. In addition, some fun games will be played among the students.
I firmly believe mental health is of great importance for everyone, especially us Senior 3 students. Thus, l'm sure the Psychological Health Week will be quite beneficial for us to relieve pressure and can motivate us to study harder and more efficiently. Do you also have such activities in your school?
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
