头的单词前面；an用于以元音音素开头的单词前；the是定冠词，表特译为"，这个，那个，这些，那些"；
sleep"睡眠，"，是名词，入眠，可译为"go to sleep" 是固定短语，所以空格不填，由题干"我没有几分钟的
阅读不能入眠。"，故答案选择D。

68. he, angry, got, lost, that, in the end, the boss, so, control（连词成句）
.
【答案】The boss got so angry that he lost control in the end.【解析】

You can think of a memory, as a photograph. Our brain is like an app on the phone that stores useful
photographs for a long time. But it ___ 75 ___ useless photographs. Some people have always been able to recall (回
想起) the smallest details about their lives. The experts are now studying Brad Williams and a woman named A.J.
The two share the same talent. The goal of the study is to gain a deeper ___ 76 ___ of memory and how it works.
Dr. James found 51-year-old Williams’ memory to be ___ 77 ___ perfect. He can usually tell you what he did
on a certain date 40 years ago. He can also recall what was in the news. He can even tell you what the weather was
like.
Dr. James had seen this level of ability before. In 2006, he studied a woman named A.J. She too was able to
recall tiny details from her life. These details ___ 78 ___ notes she had written in journals decades earlier.
However, they view the ability differently. Williams enjoys having his memory tested. A.J however, said her
memories often flood her mind in an unpleasant way. “Most have called it a gift, but I call it burden,” A.J wrote. “I
run my entire life through my head every day and makes me ___ 79 ___ !!!”
Now, doctors are testing Williams and A.J. They want to know what sets the two apart from others. Williamsand A.J. both perform well. But they perform best on topics that interest them. This fact causes doubt among some
scientists. They suggest that Williams and A.J. are not so special ___ 80 ___ . Some scientists say that people with
truly special memories should be able to remember all kinds of information, not just what interests them.
Dr. James hopes that his study will provide answers for both those who doubt and those who surprise at what
Williams and A.J. are able to do. “The human brain is the most important machinery in the known universe,” he
said. “My aim is to decrease the mystery of this surprising machinery.”

本文主要介绍了一项关于大脑储存记忆的研究。
【75题详解】
句意：但是大脑丢弃没用的照片。
gives up放弃；gets rid of摆脱、丢弃；picks up挑选；keeps off不接近。根据“Our brain is like an app on the
phone that stores useful photographs for a long time. But…”可知，前后表达的意思相反，前一句表达大脑储存
有用的照片，由此推断空格所在句表达大脑“丢弃”没有用的照片。故选B。
【76题详解】
句意：这项研究的目标是加深对记忆及其工作原理的理解。

句意：我每天都要在脑海里把我的一生过一遍，这让我发疯。
crazy疯狂的；excited兴奋的；flexible灵活的；pale灰白的、暗淡的。根据“Most have called it a gift, but I
call it burden”可知，记忆好对A.J.来说是负担，所以她要表达每天记起那么多事，让她“疯狂、抓狂”。
故选A。
【80题详解】
句意：最终他们认为威廉姆斯和A.J.并不是那么特别。
after all毕竟；at present目前；in the end最后；at a time每次。根据“Now, doctors are testing Williams and

Survey Says? Libraries Lead!
You might guess that Americans’ top go-to spot for culture and entertainment would be a movie theater or
sports stadium. But a recent study p ___ 81 ___ a place doesn't need buttered popcorn to attract visitors.
In 2019, the research company did a survey about Americans’ leisure activities. People were asked how often
in the last year they had visited certain types of p ___ 82 ___ . These included libraries, museums, theme parks, and
zoos. Libraries topped over the competition. They got more than twice as many total visits as movie theaters, which
landed at number two.
Being number one is nothing new for libraries. The findings of a s ___ 83 ___ study in 2001 were about the
same. But one thing has changed since then. Today, many people can c ___ 84 ___ to the Internet. They’re able to
read just about anything, just about anywhere. Some people predicted the Internet would make libraries out of date.
However, it’s actually part of their popularity. In 2016, a Pew Research Center study found that 29 percent of adults
went there to use computers, the Internet, or Wi-Fi. But the most c ___ 85 ___ reason people go to the library is to
check out books.
What books do library-goers borrow the most? The New York Public Library (NYPL) set out to answer this
question. In 2020, the library released a list of the most checked-out books in its 125-year history.
Three books in the top five are kids’ favorites, i ___ 86 ___ Where the Wild Things Are (#4) and The Car in the
Hat (#2). The highest honor, meanwhile, goes to The Snowy Day (#1). It’s a beautifully illustrated (有插图的) tale
about boy exploring city turned into winter wonderland. The book has been checked out almost half a milliontimes.
Why are so many children’s books on the list? One reason is that they’re short. So they’re read and returned
f ___ 87 ___ . As The Cat in the Hat might put it: a quick-to-read hit comes back lickety-split!
【答案】81. proves/points 82. places 83. similar 84. connect 85. common 86. including
87. fast
【解析】
调查显示，美国人最热衷的文化娱乐场所是图书馆。图书馆的借书榜中，儿童读物很受欢迎。
【81题详解】
句意：但最近的一项研究证明/指出，有一个地方不需要涂黄油的爆米花来吸引游客。本句话陈述客观事实，
用一般现在时，空格处缺谓语动词，主语“a recent study”是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用三单形式；能
和主语“a recent study”搭配且首字母为“p”的动词有“prove 证明”和“point 指出”，都符合语境，它们
的三单形式为“proves”和“points”，故填proves/points。
【82题详解】
句意：人们被问到在过去的一年里，他们有多少次去过某些地方。后一句“These included libraries,
museums, theme parks, and zoos.”中，“These”指代空格处的名词，所以空格处缺名词复数，“libraries,
museums, theme parks, and zoos”都是地点，所以名词“place 地方，地点”的复数形式“places”符合语境，
故填places。
【83题详解】
句意：2001年一项类似研究的结果大致相同。空格处缺形容词作定语修饰名词“study”；根据“Being
number one is nothing new for libraries.”可知，图书馆成为第一不是新鲜事，所以2001年的研究结果和现在
的类似或相同，形容词“similar相像的，类似的”符合语境，故填similar。
【84题详解】
句意：今天，许多人可以连接到互联网。“can”是情态动词，后接动词原形，所以空格处缺动词原形；根
据“Internet”和给出首字母“c”提示可知，动词“connect 连接”符合句意，connect to the Internet表示“连
接到网络”，故填connect。
【85题详解】
句意：但人们去图书馆最常见的原因是借书。空格处缺形容词作定语修饰名词“reason”；根据“check out
books”和给出首字母“c”提示可知，形容词“common 普遍的，共有的”符合语境，common reason表示
“普遍的原因，常见的原因”，去图书馆借书是常见原因，故填common。
【86题详解】
句意：前五名中有三本书是孩子们的最爱，包括《野生动物在哪里》（第四名）和《帽子里的车》（第二
名）。分析句子可知，空格处缺介词；“Where the Wild Things Are (#4) and The Car in the Hat (#2)”都包含在“Three books in the top five”中，表示“包含”且为字母“i”开头的介词是including，故填including。
【87题详解】
句意：所以他们很快就被读完然后还回来了。空格处缺副词修饰动词“read”和“returned”；根据“One
reason is that they're short.”可知，儿童读物受欢迎的原因之一是篇幅很短，所以读起来很快，读完马上就被
还给图书馆了，副词“fast 快地”符合句意，故填fast。
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
Police officer Dennis was recently patrolling (巡逻) the streets of Newark, New Jersey. Suddenly, he found
four men fighting. As he approached, one of the men tried fleeing, but failed. The police horse tracked down the
suspect and arrested him.
“He thought he was going to get away,” Dennis said. “But you can’t outrun these horses.”
In Newark and cities across the country, retired racehorses are finding new careers fighting crime. The horses
are helping departments with various types of police work. Horses have helped patrol parking lots and schools.
They have patrolled city streets. They have chased down criminals.
Police officers say retired racehorses make perfect additions to their departments for several reasons. The
1,200-pound horses are effective crime-fighting forces. The mounted (骑马的) police officers used them to arrest
thieves. The animals’ natural intelligence helps as well. Horses can be easily trained to perform duties connected
with fighting crime. In addition to being intelligent, horses are generally calm animals. The horse must also be able
to follow six commands — walk, stop, stand, back up, side left, and side right. If a horse does not meet his
department’s needs, it is returned.
Most of the horses came from Jennifer Nagle’s rescue group. The group has found homes for more than 2,000
horses since it was started 20 years ago. However, today’s troubled economy has made the job of Nagle’s group
more challenging. Caring for a horse can cost a great deal of money. According to Nagle, the number of horses in
need of new homes has multiplied in recent months. Owners used to call her group and offer one horse for
adoption. Now, some inquire about finding homes for five or six retired racehorses.
The adoption of horses by police departments is a win-win for all. The horses enjoy new homes and
companions (同伴). Police departments feel closer to people in the community.
“The kids love the horses. A 3-year-old even walked up and petted his police horse.”
The animals also have the ability to ease possibly upsetting situations. Another child who had gotten lost
during a shopping trip could not find his parents. The police let the child pet the animal until the boy’s parents were
located. The child wiped away his tears. He just thought the horse was the greatest thing in the world.
88. The police horse helped Dennis catch the suspect, didn’t it?89. Which phrase in the first paragraph has the same
meaning as “run after”?
90. When was Jennifer Nagle’s rescue group started?
91. Why does Nagle’s group face more challenges?
92. What can police horses do for the kids?
93. What makes retired racehorses perfect addition to the
police departments? ( List at least 3 advantages)
【答案】88. Yes, it did.
89. Track down.
90. 20 years ago.
91. Because the number of horses in need of new homes has multiplied and caring for them costs much money.
92. They can find missing kids and comfort them.
93. They are effective crime-fighting forces./ They are generally calm animals and can follow the commands./
They have the ability to ease possibly upsetting situations. (Any reasonable answer is OK)
【解析】
在美国的新泽西州，退休的赛马正在协助执行打击犯罪的任务。
【88题详解】
根据第一段最后一句“The police horse tracked down the suspect and arrested him.”可知，警马帮助警察
Dennis追踪到嫌疑犯，然后Dennis逮捕了他，所以该题要给出肯定回答，故填Yes, it did.
【89题详解】
“run after”表示“追赶”，在第一段中，短语“tracked down”表示同样的意思，其原形是“track down”，故
填Track down.
【90题详解】
根据第五段第二句“The group has found homes for more than 2,000 horses since it was started 20 years ago.”可
知，自20年前成立以来，救援组织已经为2000多匹马找到了家，所以Jennifer Nagle的救援小组开始于20
年前，故填20 years ago.
【91题详解】
根据第五段第四、五句“Caring for a horse can cost a great deal of money. According to Nagle, the number of
horses in need of new homes has multiplied in recent months.”可知，照顾一匹马要花很多钱，而且近几个月来，
需要新房子的马匹数量成倍增加，这是Nagle团队面临更多挑战的原因，故填Because the number of horses
in need of new homes has multiplied and caring for them costs much money.【92题详解】
根据第三段最后三句“Horses have helped patrol parking lots and schools. They have patrolled city streets. They
have chased down criminals.”可知，警马担任巡逻的任务，所以它们可以帮助寻找丢失的孩子；根据最后一
段第一句“The animals also have the ability to ease possibly upsetting situations.”可知，动物能缓解可能令人
不安的情况，即警马可以安抚走失的孩子。安抚：comfort，走失的孩子：missing kids，故填They can find
missing kids and comfort them.
【93题详解】
根据第四段第二句“The 1,200-pound horses are effective crime-fighting forces.”可知，马是有效打击犯罪的力
量；根据第四段倒数两句“In addition to being intelligent, horses are generally calm animals. The horse must
also be able to follow six commands...”可知，马是平静的动物，能听从命令；根据最后一段第一句“The
animals also have the ability to ease possibly upsetting situations.”可知，马能缓解可能令人不安的情况。这些
都是退休的赛马成为警察部门完美补充的原因，文中给出了很多理由，列出三条即可。故填 They are
effective crime-fighting forces./They are generally calm animals and can follow the commands./They have the
ability to ease possibly upsetting situations. (Any reasonable answer is OK)

One cold and stormy January evening in 1581, a Spanish trade ship called Marie of San Sebastian was sailing
along the coast. The ship was carrying a cargo of very fine cloth. When he sold it, the captain would make a small
fortune. The ship had been at sea for many weeks. The crew were all looking forward to spending their share of the
money in the next big port.The weather was turning bad. When the captain saw big, dark thunderclouds, he knew he had to find a safe
harbour for the night. The crew sailed the ship into a small bay. As soon as they got to the shore, they saw a big,
fine house. The captain hoped to find some help there. He knocked on the door, and then a servant showed him into
a room where a friendly, well-dressed woman in her sixties was sitting by a fire.
“I’m Lady Mary,” she said. “Welcome to my home. As soon as I saw that your ship was in trouble, I ordered
my servants to prepare a meal for you and your men. You must stay here until the weather gets better. I am very
happy to help you.”
The captain didn’t know that Lady Mary was one of the most successful pirates. While he and his men were
sleeping, she ordered her servants to steal the cargo and the ship too. The next morning, when the captain found
that his ship had gone, Lady Mary was nowhere to be seen...

Over 750 million people have seen the amazing TV series Walking with Dinosaurs --- it’s the world’s most-
watched documentary. It uses dramatic special effects to show these huge animals eating, running, and fighting.
But the last dinosaur died 65 million years ago. So how did they bring the dinosaurs to life?
“It wasn’t easy,” says Tim Haines, the producer of the TV series. “First, we spent two years talking to
scientists, and reading everything about the dinosaurs. It’s important to remember that dinosaurs lived in a world as
real as ours --- there was a sun and a moon, day, night, rain, wind, and the food like today.
Next, we chose dinosaurs which people knew a lot about. It’s lucky that there are so many dinosaur bones
around the world.
Then, we found places that look like the world 65 to 230 million years ago. We went all over the world --- to
Chile and to New Zealand, for example. The dinosaurs are not real, but the trees, the sky, the ground, the rivers,
and the ocean all are. One problem was that when dinosaurs lived there was no grass, so we had to look for places
without grass. After that, we filmed the places with people instead of dinosaurs! The film crew moved things,
splashed water, broke trees, and so on, in front of the camera just like a dinosaur.
Finally, back in the studio, computers were used to take the people out of the pictures, and put the dinosaurs
in. It’s called computer animation.
The TV series inspired a “live” show, and millions of people worldwide have seen Walking with Dinosaurs.
The model dinosaurs in this show, which are up to ten meters tall and weigh as much as a small truck, roar and
move around just like the real thing!
(21. special effects 22. two years 23. without grass 24. were used 25. small truck)
