communicates in a different way以不同的方式交流；stays in a distance保持距离；moves quickly away快速离
开；protects their children保护它们的孩子。根据上文“In the wild, orcas live in groups and the young orcas
make the similar sounds to the sounds the adult orcas make.”可知，同个群体的虎鲸幼体发出的声音与成年虎鲸
相似，由此可知不同群体的交流方式不同。故选A。
【50题详解】
句意：人们曾经认为说某人拥有像鸟一样的脑袋是不礼貌的，但现在看来鸟类和其他动物比我们想象的更
聪明。
strange奇怪的；puzzling令人不解的；calm冷静的；rude不礼貌的。根据“once thought”和“smarter than
we thought”可知，鸟儿比我们想象中聪明，所以之前人们的看法是认为鸟儿不聪明，因此说人的脑袋和鸟
儿一样，是不礼貌的说法。故选D。

AN ANCIENT MURDER[1]
In 1991, hikers in the Italian Alps discovered a body frozen in ice in Ötzi. They were surprised to learn that it
belonged to a man who died 5,300 years ago! This was the o___51___ complete human body ever found.
Scientists named the man Ötzi after the p___52___ he was found. They studied his body and learned many
things. His teeth and skull[2] showed that he was probably in his 40s. He wore thick clothes and shoes made of bear skin.
He carried a stone knife, wooden arrows, and equipment for starting fires. And he had a copper axe[3]—a rare and
valuable t___53___ back when Ötzi was alive.
The Plot Thickens
Most interestingly, there were injuries on Ötzi’s body that showed he was a___54___. There was a piece from a
stone arrow buried deep in his left shoulder. Scientists believe this is what killed him. There was also the blood of
four other people on his clothes, as well as injuries on his hands. These injuries were not c___55___ healed[4]—they
were recent, but not as recent as the injury on his shoulder.
Ötzi’s story quickly became a murder mystery[5]—the world’s earliest murder mystery. Why was he killed? Was
he running away when he died? And why was he even there, in such a cold and faraway place? New studies in 2010
and 2018 revealed more clues.
New Findings
Scientists learned that Ötzi ate a big m___56___ right before he died—they found goat and deer meat in his
stomach. He was therefore probably resting, not running, when he died. They also learned that the arrow in Ötzi’s
shoulder hit him from behind.
Did someone injure Ötzi in a fight, and did Ötzi run up the mountain to e___57___? Did that same person follow
Ötzi up the mountain and shoot him in the back? It’s a good theory, but scientists will probably never completely
know how or why Ötzi died.
Word box
[1] murder n. & v. 谋杀 [2]skull n. 颅骨 [3]copper axe 铜斧
[4]heal v. 愈合 [5]mystery n. 不可理解之事
【答案】51.oldest 52.place 53.tool 54.attacked 55.completely 56.meal 57.escape
【导语】本文介绍了1991年，意大利阿尔卑斯山的徒步旅行者发现的一具冰冻的身体。他们惊讶地发现，
它属于一个5300年前去世的人。
【51题详解】
句意：这是迄今发现的最古老的完整人体。根据“a man who died 5,300 years ago”以及首字母，可知是古老
15的完整人体，结合空前的the，要用最高级oldest“最古老的”，故填(o)ldest。
【52题详解】
句意：科学家们以他被发现的地方命名了这名男子Ötzi。根据“In 1991, hikers in the Italian Alps discovered a
body frozen in ice in Ötzi.”以及“named the man Ötzi”可知是以他被发现的地方命名了这名男子，place“地方”
此空用单数，指代他被发现的那个地方。故填(p)lace。
【53题详解】
句意：他还有一把铜斧——这是Ötzi在世时的一把稀有而珍贵的斧头。根据“copper axe”可知是指工具。
tool“工具”，前有a修饰，因此此空用单数。故填(t)ool。
【54题详解】
句意：最有趣的是，Ötzi身上的伤痕表明他是被袭击的。根据“There was a piece from a stone arrow buried
deep in his left shoulder. Scientists believe this is what killed him.”以及结合首字母，可知是attack“袭击”，此
空与主语he之间有被动意义，be done的结构，因此用过去分词形式。故填(a)ttacked。
【55题详解】
句意：这些伤并没有完全愈合——它们是最近的，但没有他肩膀上的伤那么近。根据“These injuries were
not…healed”可知是指没完全愈合，副词completely修饰动词。故填(c)ompletely。
【56题详解】
句意：科学家们了解到，Ötzi在去世前吃了一顿大餐——他们在他的胃里发现了山羊和鹿的肉。根据
“they found goat and deer meat in his stomach”可知此处山羊和鹿的肉是指大餐，meal“餐”，空前有a修饰，
用单数。故填(m)eal。
【57题详解】
句意：有没有人打伤Ötzi，Ötzi是不是跑上山逃跑。根据“Did someone injure Ötzi in a fight, and did Ötzi run
up the mountain”以及结合首字母，可知是指跑上山逃跑，escape“逃跑”，不定式to后接动词原形。故填
(e)scape。
D. Answer the questions（12分）根据短文内容回答问题
SIT WITH US
You’re at your new school. It’s lunchtime, but you don’t have anyone to sit with. You want to
join someone at their table, but you’re not sure if they’re friendly. What do you do? One student’s
solution was to create an app.
Natalie Hampton from California, USA, knows what it feels like to be alone at a new school.
She found it difficult to make new friends and had to search for a new table at lunch every day. If she ____58____,
she felt ____59____. But if she asked to join someone and got rejected[1], she felt embarrassed. Her solution was to
16create a lunch-planning app to help students like her find people to have lunch with.
The app—called Sit With Us—is simple. If a student is having lunch in the afternoon, they can create an
invitation. Other students can open the app and accept that invitation. They can then use the app to decide when and
where to meet. This allows students to make plans online instead of face-to-face. This is the reason it works so well: it
reduces the risk[2] of rejection, and the embarrassment that goes along with it.
Natalie is pleased with the way people are responding to her app-especially those who suffer from bullying[3].
Soon after the launch[4] o f her app, she won an award for it. She also appeared in many news stories.
Natalie was even asked to speak at a United Nations Youth Assembly[5]. In her talk, Natalie wanted people to
know that you don’t have to do something big to change lives. Sometimes, a simple thing—like having a friend to
enjoy lunch with—can make all the difference.

by herself；lonely。
【61题详解】
根据第三段“Other students can open the app and accept that invitation. They can then use the app to decide when
and where to meet.”可知学生可以打开应用程序并接受邀请，然后可以使用该应用程序来决定何时何地会面。

【62题详解】
根据最后一段“Natalie wanted people to know that you don’t have to do something big to change lives. Sometimes, a
simple thing—like having a friend to enjoy lunch with—can make all the difference.”可知娜塔莉想让人们知道，

故填Having a friend to enjoy lunch with is simple to change our life.
【63题详解】
