Animals can be more like humans than you might think. They have feelings of love, friendship and anger, just
like we do. A BBC documentary (纪录片) shows animal relationships in a special way, more ____21____ than
ever before.
Spy in the Wild is a five-episode (五集) documentary. The video team sent 34 robot animals into the wild.
These robots look and move like real animals. But they are actually spying (侦察) animals with cameras inside
them.
A wild dog was sent to the grasslands of Africa. The dog first bowed to other wild dogs as a way of saying, “I

her children: a lion was coming close to her 12 little ones. Suddenly, the mother dog jumped in to draw the beast
away. Her children were safe.
The robots and real animals even became friends. A spy monkey became popular with real monkeys after
____23____ with them for a month. One day, he fell from a tree. All the other monkeys thought he died. They were
so sad that they surrounded (围绕) his body. One even hugged their robot friend.
However, not all of the newcomers were ____24____. Hippos are fierce protectors of their own land. They hit
a spy hippo with their big heads. The spy squirrel was bullied (欺负), too. The real squirrels first stole his food, and
then they stole his camera, too.
With the help of the animal spies, the documentary lets us into the heart of the wildlife world. It shows “how

“I’m an honest man,” said the beggar, “Let us take this matter to the court (法庭).” In the court the judge
____28____ listened to both sides of the story and said, “The law is fair! Merchant, you said you lost 200 pieces of

Part 3 Reading and Writing
第三部分 读与写.
IX. Reading Comprehension 阅读理解.
A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案.
More than 60 years after scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA, 20 students at US Coretta
Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy gained insight（了解）into some of the molecular（分子的）
mysteries that make them who they are.
Last fall, while studying life sciences, the girls sent samples（样本）of their DNA off to Living DNA, a
DNA testing company. The test results became known last week and they left a big impression on the students, who
were able to make real-world connections to topics they have been studying all semester long, including genotypes
（基因型）.
“Students were able to maturely（成熟地）look at their results and apply what they learned in science. It’s
about bringing learning to life,” said Laura Pena, the STEM program teacher.
For most of the girls, the DNA test was their ancestry（血统）. Sitting with her mom, Amariah Caudle, 15,
looked with her mouth wide open at the charts showing her results. She was surprised that her European ancestry
was only 13 percent. Her mother, Janell Caudle, was surprised it was that high.
“I didn’t think a trace（痕迹）would show up in her,” she said. “After many generations, this is still showing
up in our bloodline（血统）. I was shocked by the science of it all.”
DNA has a power to engage people, said Diahan Southard, Living DNA community manager. Southard
believes the program gives students an understanding of DNA at an important moment, when they are still young
enough to absorb lessons and change their values.
Elianed Guzman, 14, said she knew little about her family except that they were from Mexico. She described
in her native Spanish how surprised she was to learn that she shared genetic DNA with people in China, Japan and
Korea.
As the girls sat in small groups to examine their results, with reactions ranging from confusion to surprise,
they began to understand what it all means.

A People had the opportunity to test their DNA. B. The European trace showed up in Amariah’s DNA.
.
C. Amariah possibly had European ancestry. D. Amariah shared genetic DNA with people from Asia.
47. What does Southard think of the program?
A. It helps students understand their DNAs. B. It has a great power to bring people together.
C. It will change their students’ DNAs. D. It should be introduced to more people around the
country.
48. What did the students learn from the program?
A. People need to accept who they are. B. We should learn more about family history.
C. People’s personalities can be explained by their bloodlines. D. People from all over the world are connected
with each other.

Time to “Learn” Math
WHY DO SO MANY STUDENTS hate or fear math?
In my opinion, this has something to do with students’ role in Math classes. Students rarely think they are in
the classroom to ____50____ the beauty of math. Instead, they think they are there to perform. From an early age,
students realize math is different from other subjects. In many schools, math is more about answering questions
than it is about ____51____.

Educators (教育学家) know how to improve the situation. In perfect math-learning environments, students
work on difficult but interesting problems. They try a new idea, ____52____ and then try another new idea. They
receive positive messages about their unlimited potential. Students with a “growth” mindset (观念模式) believe
their ability is not “fixed”. They know failure is a natural part of learning. These students perform at higher levels
in math and in life. ____53____, most students today don’t get the chance to see math as a “growth subject”. They
have to work on closed questions. There is no room for failure. Many students finally say to themselves, “I’m not a
math person”.
Furthermore, math looks more like a speed race than any other subject. Teachers usually take ____54____
from the first student who raises his or her hand. Math tests are timed. No wonder students who think slowly and
deeply often hate or fear math.
Schools should encourage teachers to open up math. In this way, math becomes a learning subject, instead of a
performance subject. Teachers should ask questions that have many ____55____ instead of closed questions. They
should give students the chance to discuss different ideas. They should also encourage students to ask questions
that have never been asked.
When teachers set students free, the beauty of math follows. More children will fall in love with this subject.
50. A. destroy B. discover C. draw D. say
51. A. travelling B. playing C. learning D. wondering
52. A. fail B. succeed C. cry D. laugh

Iceland, it seems, is full of hidden poets. When they’re not at their jobs, many of the island’s 340,000 citizens

There are a____57____ businesspeople, zookeepers and scientists, among others, who share a love for poems.
Kari Stefansson is a world-famous biologist. He talked about a poem he wrote a few months after the birth of Dolly
the cloned（克隆的）sheep. “I f____58____ a little bit sad,” said Stefansson. “One of my ways to deal with that is
to write a small poem.” He went on to recite the poem: “Where do I find, lost in the brightness of a sunny day, /
The happiness of an unhappy man; / Fortunate only to be one copy of himself. / Everything else is terrible.”
Literature professors in Iceland agree that poetry has b____59____ a national pastime. It’s part of being an

Icelanders are also great poetry readers. Books of poetry are very popular in Iceland. Far more poetry books

D.Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
SEVEN-YEAR-OLD Ryan, a Chinese-American boy, spends his days in primary school and his evenings as
an online celebrity. Ryan is a toy tester who unboxes new toys and shares his opinion with millions of his followers
on his YouTube channel, “RyanToysReview.” Last year, the cute, bubbly (活泼的) — and enterprising (有创业精
神的) — kid made $11 million.
Ryan is just one of the many thousands of young people who have discovered that the internet and its various
platforms can provide plenty of money-making opportunities. All that is needed is a good idea and an internet
connection.
Young Chinese are also being drawn to the internet as a possible career, or as an easy way to make a lot of
money. In 2017, a survey of 13,000 Chinese college students found that 54% wanted to become internet celebrities.
No doubt they see it as a good alternative to spending their lives working in an office cubicle (小隔间), but
becoming an online celebrity isn’t as easy or as profitable as it may seem. According to the same survey, 80% of
aspiring (有抱负的) online celebrities can’t make enough money to support themselves, and 15% make only a
modest white-collar salary. That means you have to be one of the lucky or talented 5% to become rich and famous.

Zhang Kaiyi is one of the 5%. She started posting video clips (短视频) in 2017 and quickly attracted 4.8
million followers on Weibo. Zhang says, “It is content that can create value, and it is also content that can possibly
reshape business.” Zhang’s advice was to keep your content fun, life-oriented, creative and positive.
What you also need is good communication skills and a good education. Most of the online celebrities you see
have at least a college degree. They are smart, creative people. They also have good communication skills which
enable them to connect with their audiences. Such things as eye contact and a fluent, direct speaking style are
essential. It also helps to have an interesting personality, but that is a gift, not something that can be learned.
Little Ryan was lucky enough to have acquired all those good qualities (personality and communication skills)
naturally. But his online celebrity may fade(消退) as he becomes a teenager and is still playing with children’s
toys. Stay in school, Ryan, and get a good education ... just in case.
