Both cats and dogs may have episodic memory（情景记忆）, similar to that of human beings.The discovery shows that cats can recall memories of positive experiences like eating a delicious snack. The study was a test of episodic memory. Episodic memory means memory of past experiences that happened at a special time and place.In the test, cats were led to four open bowls of food. They were allowed to eat from two of them. After fifteen minutes, empty bowls took the place of the old ones. Then the same cats returned to look for food again. They spent more time searching for the old bowls.It seemed that the cats were able to remember the information of “what” and “where” about the bowls. This discovery suggests that they may have episodic memory. However, its still not clear whether cats can truly experience past memories in the same way as human beings do. “Its difficult to know whether the cats can subjectively（主观地）remember the experience,” Nick Diamond, a researcher at the University of Toronto, explained.Still, the test plays an important role in the development of memory research in animals. “It opens the door to new studies. How long can cats memories last? We may do some research on this in the future,” Professor Laurie Santos from Yale University told BBC News.The road to new discoveries is long and difficult. Though there are lots of problems to be solved and discussed along the way, such studies do lead us a step closer to the final success.（1）_ may have episodic memory. A . DogsB . PandasC . ElephantsD . Sheep（2）It seems that cats can recall memories of their _ experiences. A . happyB . sadC . scaryD . unusual（3）What can we learn from the study? A . Cats can subjectively remember past experiences.B . The cats spent more time searching for empty bowls.C . Cats are smarter than dogs and as smart as humansD . Cats may have episodic memory similar to that of humans.（4）According to the fifth paragraph, scientists may do some research on _ in the future. A . whether dogs can recall memories like catsB . why cats only remember good experiencesC . how long cats memories can lastD . how humans recall past memories（5）What does the writer think of the study? A . It has already solved many problems.B . It helps memory research in animals.C . It has nothing to do with other studies.D . It is a waste of money and time.16. （10分）根据短文内容，判断正误。Forests have always been useful and important to men who make use of them in many ways. Every day trees are serving man everywhere. Trees supply man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses, boats, bridges and so on. Furniture such as desks, chairs and beds is made of wood. Trees can stop man from the terrible heat. Theyre also useful in preventing(阻止) good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains. If there were no forests, heavy rains would wash away the rich surface(表层) soil that is so important to plants. The result is that the land will become a desert. There are plenty of desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas used to be very rich areas, but men in the past had no enough knowledge about science of nature, and they cut down too many trees in the area where they lived and never planted new ones. By and by, the rich surface soil was blown and washed away by strong winds and heavy rains. In the end the rich land changed into useless deserts where nothing could grow.（1）Trees are not serving man everywhere.（2）Without trees it would be possible to build houses, boats, bridges and so on.（3）Trees can stop man from the terrible heat.（4）There are few desert areas in the world.（5）In the end the rich land changed into useless deserts where nothing could grow.17. （10分） Some children are born bosses. They have a need to make decisions, manage their environment and lead rather than follow. Too much rule in the hands of the young isnt healthy for children or the family. Family expert John Taylor says, “Children have secret feelings of weakness. They are always trying to feel safe. ”Its the parents dutynot the childsto provide safety.When a “boss child doesnt learn limits（限制）at home, troubles will appear outside the family. The child may have trouble obeying（遵守）teachers, for example, or keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your ruling ways.Bossy kids are often unusually bright. Their parents need to be especially careful to manage them. Bossy kids usually work more on the mother. Its important for both parents to know their childs weakness, to agree on key rules and to back each up.Even as you try to be kindto a pointdont give up your parental ruling post. Instead, stand your ground by using body language that tells your child who the boss is.Good manners are important to family. Show a child by example how to ask for something rather than shout orders. Try asking your child to do things that are not too difficult. Then reward（奖励）him with a hug（拥抱）and words such as “Thank you. I like it when you listen to me.” Over time good manners will become associated（联结）with pleasure.（1）Is the passage mainly about how to teach children?（2）Do boss children usually feel lonely or have a lot of friends?（3）Which of the parents should know their childs weakness?（4）Why is it important to teach children good manners?（5）What should parents be like to teach a boss child well?六、 写作题 (共1题；共10分)18. （10分）假如你叫李华，你的笔友Peter想了解你日常生活中的榜样。请你以“A Role Model in My Daily Life.”为主题，给他写一封邮件，告诉他你日常生活中的榜样是谁，做了哪些令你敬佩的事情，并谈谈你的体会与感受。提示词语：role model, set, example, help, learn, hope第 16 页 共 16 页参考答案一、 单选题 (共10题；共10分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、9-1、10-1、二、 完形填空 (共1题；共10分)11-1、三、 选词填空（词汇运用） (共2题；共10分)12-1、12-2、12-3、12-4、12-5、13-1、四、 补全对话 (共1题；共10分)14-1、五、 阅读理解 (共3题；共30分)15-1、15-2、15-3、15-4、15-5、16-1、16-2、16-3、16-4、16-5、17-1、17-2、17-3、17-4、17-5、六、 写作题 (共1题；共10分)18-1、
