The 97-year-old botanist, Margaret Bradshaw, is the chief caretaker of Teesdale’s rarest flowers. “Everything about Teesdale is unique,” says Bradshaw with pride — and the authority of someone who has just written a 288-page book on the subject. Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases.Her data was the first to prove that — and the need to do something about it.
The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000, as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate (娇嫩) flowers, taking away the light they need to grow. As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land — as well as Natural England, which manages it — sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed. This has led to the partial recovery of some plants.
At 93, she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants. A keen horse rider, at 95, she did a 55-mile horse journey across Teesdale, raising almost $ 10,000 for the Trust. When asked about the secret to longevity, “Just keep going,” she says.
“Keep at it.Don’t sit down and just watch TV.”
“I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don’t believe I won’t be here forever,” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours,” she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.”
4. What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants
A. Writing a book. B. Preventing their decrease.
C. Collecting their data. D. Directing farmers to grow plants.
5. What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale
A. Not enough sheep. B. Lack of fund.
C. Poor management. D. Too many sheep.
6. What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph
A. Unity brings strength. B. Many hands make light work.
C. Youthful at heart, regardless of age. D. Advance what the forerunners began.
7. Which might be a suitable title for the text
A. Teesdale:Home to Rare Plants B. Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers
C. Bradshaw:A97-Year-Old Gardener D. Exploring Teesdale’s Unique Plants

“Mek thisen at ‘ome, lass,” Dimbleby said in the Yorkshire dialect to the group of nearly two-dozen mostly grey-haired students, when the newspaper reporter arrived at his class. This class is part of an increasingly popular movement to revive the local dialect, once spoken by millions but now has almost died out.
“We’ve got to get more young people involved,” says Dimbleby. The feedback so far has been positive, but the class is mostly made up of retirees. He is hoping to run another course on Saturday mornings, when younger people are available. “Most people’s experience of dialect is what they heard from their grandparents. They’ve never read it or written it, so it’s been a new experience for them.”
There are some challenges in making it accessible though. As a spoken dialect with many variations (变体), the written aspect is various. How to correctly spell is a problem, because different people may pronounce it in different ways. For example, “nothing” in Yorkshire is “nowt”, but some people would read “out”, while in most of Yorkshire it has more of an “ohwt” sound that is hard to get across without resorting to the rules of pronunciation.
“I’ve always been fascinated by the Yorkshire dialect,” says Joanna Kaye, a retired host. “When we were children, we learned all Queen’s English. My mother, although she taught me to speak properly, she could speak in the dialect.”
Jean Crampton, here for the first time, has a notebook to write down words used by her parents, who died more than 10 years ago. “When I dressed up for the first time to go to grammar school, my dad said ‘dun’t she look grand’,” she said. “And that’s why I’ve come, to be reminded of them. After they died, that immediacy fades, and language is one of the things that can help bring it back into your mind, which is brilliant.”
8. What is Dimbleby’s suggestion for the dialect class
A. More activities to revive the dialect. B. More courses provided for retirees.
C. Greater participation of young people. D. Greater enthusiasm in elderly learners.
9. What does the underlined phrase ”resorting to“in paragraph 3 mean
A. Turning to B. Writing down. C. Summing up. D. Speaking of.
10. What makes Joanna Kaye interested in the Yorkshire dialect
A. The Queen’s charm. B. His mother’s influence.
C. His childhood dream. D. The requirement for a host.
11. Why did Jean Crampton go to the dialect class
A. To pass on the Yorkshire dialect. B. To share her father’s experiences.
C. To restore memories from her parents. D. To learn the Yorkshire dialect grammar.
D
Scientists once considered sleep to be like a shadow getting drawn over a window between the brain and the outside world: when the shadow is closed, the brain stops reacting to outside stimuli (刺激).
A study published on 12 October in Nature Neuroscience suggests that there might be periods during sleep when that shade is partially open.
A few years ago, Oudiette, a cognitive scientist in France, began questioning the definition of sleep after she and her team conducted an experiment in which they were able to communicate with people who are aware that they are dreaming while they sleep — otherwise known as clear dreamers. During these people’s dreams, experimenters were able to ask questions and get responses through eye and facial-muscle movements.
Karen Konkoly, who was a co-author on that study, says “it was a big open question in our minds whether communication would be possible with non-clear dreamers.”
So Oudiette continued with the work. In her latest study, she and her colleagues observed 27 people with narcolepsy (嗜睡症) — characterized by daytime sleepiness and a high frequency of clear dreams — and 22 people without the condition. While they were sleeping, participants were repeatedly asked to frown or smile. All of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these tips. Overall response rates were higher for all participants during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the deepest sleep occurs but the brain remains quite active, than during other sleep stages.
This study is part of a larger advance in the field of sleep research, says Mélanie Strauss,a cognitive scientist in Brussels. Researchers are moving away from monitoring sleep mainly with EEG (脑电图) and towards “fine grained” approaches that combine EEG with various tasks and stimuli — a strategy that could help to cast light on specific diseases or conditions, she says.
12. What did scientists think of sleep in the past
A. It happens during different periods.
B. It is a shadow formed within the brain.
C. It suggests a weakening in the brain’s functions.
D. It means a stop in brain’s response to the outside.
13. How did clear dreamers react to the experimenters
A. By moving their face and eyes. B. By repeating the questions.
C. By providing accurate answers. D. By talking about their dream.
14 What can we learn about the participants in the latest study
A. They like sleeping in the daytime.
B. They remember their dreams clearly.
C. They do exactly as they’re told during sleep.
D They show higher response in the deepest sleep.
15 What does Mélanie Strauss mainly tell us in the last paragraph
A. The limitation of using EEG. B. A cure for specific diseases.
C. The progress of the sleep research. D. A method of detecting sleep

Play is part of a parent-child friendship
Play is a crucial element of friendship with children. With babies and very young children, we parents play with them,engaging in back-and-forth activities like hide-and-seek and tower building. ____16____ They pull us into play, and we feel pleasure.
But delight hits a setback when our child learns how to say “no”. From this point onward —into adolescence —we focus on getting a child to behave.____17____ It’s parenting belief, not specifically defined, but often translated into “because I said so”.
While parents must help children learn to meet adult demands, when we limit our parenting focus to “command and control” we can crowd out “delight”. ____18____ If we can leave space for child-driven activities —without adult demands —we can return to delight. These interactions expand our relationship and help our child learn self-regulation and communication. It’s not the same as peer friendship, but we are being a friend.
____19____ The key is following your child’s lead. As they get older and they are deep into other things, friendly play might include teaching you to play their favorite video game or share their YouTube. Your child won’t want you to be their primary friend in these spaces, but being curious and kind is a way to be a friend and a parent. You will be an uncool friend who will never fully get it, but you will be a friend.
____20____ Especially as they get older, they will set more limits on it. But if you make a habit of friendly play with your child, that space will always be there between you, and it will vastly expand your parenting toolbox.
A. They often start the game, and we join in.
B. Kids won’t always want you to play with them.
C. We are told in many ways to be the parent, not the friend.
D. Highlighting our role as taskmasters limits our parenting tools.
E. It can be a powerful tool for developing parent-child relationships.
F. This looks different from babyhood to youth but it’s always essential.
G. Friendly play with children can range from building blocks to hide-and-seek.

Instantly, the classroom erupted with students ____22____ their seats, laughing and talking.
And then there was me. I sat ____23____ in my chair. I finished the activity and then worked on a project, completely content. I didn’t associate what I was doing with ____24____ behavior; I just had no desire to be loud and crazy.
As parents started to arrive, our teacher . ____25____ the chattering children with a half-hearted smile. But when my mother ____26____,she commented, “Your daughter is such a nice girl in class. She’s a ____27____.” And there it was: my first “nice”.
Whether or not I knew it, a ____28____ had been set for my future behavior, though my teacher probably didn’t mean it.
As years passed, I became____29____ in the art of nice. But as much as I loved praise, I was too _____30_____ to dare be anything but nice.
People rarely see the Real Me, because the Real Me is _____31_____.She doesn’t clean her room as often as she should. She’s _____32_____ at making decisions.

The 97-year-old botanist, Margaret Bradshaw, is the chief caretaker of Teesdale’s rarest flowers. “Everything about Teesdale is unique,” says Bradshaw with pride — and the authority of someone who has just written a 288-page book on the subject. Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases.Her data was the first to prove that — and the need to do something about it.
The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000, as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate (娇嫩) flowers, taking away the light they need to grow. As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land — as well as Natural England, which manages it — sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed. This has led to the partial recovery of some plants.
At 93, she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants. A keen horse rider, at 95, she did a 55-mile horse journey across Teesdale, raising almost $ 10,000 for the Trust. When asked about the secret to longevity, “Just keep going,” she says.
“Keep at it.Don’t sit down and just watch TV.”
“I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don’t believe I won’t be here forever,” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours,” she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.”
4. What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants
A. Writing a book. B. Preventing their decrease.
C. Collecting their data. D. Directing farmers to grow plants.
5. What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale
A. Not enough sheep. B. Lack of fund.
C. Poor management. D. Too many sheep.
6. What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph
A. Unity brings strength. B. Many hands make light work.
C. Youthful at heart, regardless of age. D. Advance what the forerunners began.
7. Which might be a suitable title for the text
A. Teesdale:Home to Rare Plants B. Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers
C. Bradshaw:A97-Year-Old Gardener D. Exploring Teesdale’s Unique Plants
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了97岁的植物学家玛格丽特·布拉德肖(Margaret Bradshaw)是提斯代尔最稀有花卉的主要看护人，她希望让更多的人接手并做记录并且开创这个事业。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases. Her data was the first to prove that —and the need to do something about it.”（布拉德肖从20世纪50年代初就开始记录这里的珍稀植物，并见证了它们的大幅减少。她的数据是第一个证明这一点的人，也证明了对此采取措施的必要性。）可知，布拉德肖在珍稀植物方面的主要工作是收集它们的数据。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000,as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate(娇嫩)flowers, taking away the light they need to grow.”（这些植物减少的主要原因是一个不寻常的原因。到2000年，提斯代尔的羊数量减少了一半，因为人们普遍认为高地上羊太多了。布拉德肖说，虽然羊在一些高地地区被猎杀，但在提斯代尔减少放牧是具有破坏性的。较长的草遮住了娇弱的花朵，带走了它们生长所需的光。）可推知，没有足够的羊导致了提斯代尔稀有植物的减少。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours, “she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.””（“这是我们的遗产，这种独特的植物物种，我的和你的，”她写道。“尽管我努力了，但还是没能阻止它的减少，现在就看你的了。”）可推知，从最后一段布拉德肖的话中我们能了解到，她希望推进先行者开创这个事业。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段““I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don’t believe I won’t be here forever,” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours,” she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.””（“我意识到我年纪越来越大了，我一直在努力让更多的人接手并做记录。他们不相信我不会永远在这里，”布拉德肖说。尽管布拉德肖守护着这片土地，她为拯救这片土地付出了爱和精力，但这里的未来仍是未知的。她书中的最后几句话讲述了这种无尽的失落。“这是我们的遗产，这种独特的植物物种，我的和你的，”她写道。“尽管我努力了，但还是没能阻止它的减少，现在就看你的了。”）可知，文章主要讲的是97岁的植物学家玛格丽特·布拉德肖(Margaret Bradshaw)是提斯代尔最稀有花卉的主要看护人，她希望让更多的人接手并做记录并且开创这个事业。故文章最好的标题是“为提斯代尔的稀有花卉而奋斗”。故选B项。

“Mek thisen at ‘ome, lass,” Dimbleby said in the Yorkshire dialect to the group of nearly two-dozen mostly grey-haired students, when the newspaper reporter arrived at his class. This class is part of an increasingly popular movement to revive the local dialect, once spoken by millions but now has almost died out.
“We’ve got to get more young people involved,” says Dimbleby. The feedback so far has been positive, but the class is mostly made up of retirees. He is hoping to run another course on Saturday mornings, when younger people are available. “Most people’s experience of dialect is what they heard from their grandparents. They’ve never read it or written it, so it’s been a new experience for them.”
There are some challenges in making it accessible though. As a spoken dialect with many variations (变体), the written aspect is various. How to correctly spell is a problem, because different people may pronounce it in different ways. For example, “nothing” in Yorkshire is “nowt”, but some people would read “out”, while in most of Yorkshire it has more of an “ohwt” sound that is hard to get across without resorting to the rules of pronunciation.
“I’ve always been fascinated by the Yorkshire dialect,” says Joanna Kaye, a retired host. “When we were children, we learned all Queen’s English. My mother, although she taught me to speak properly, she could speak in the dialect.”
Jean Crampton, here for the first time, has a notebook to write down words used by her parents, who died more than 10 years ago. “When I dressed up for the first time to go to grammar school, my dad said ‘dun’t she look grand’,” she said. “And that’s why I’ve come, to be reminded of them. After they died, that immediacy fades, and language is one of the things that can help bring it back into your mind, which is brilliant.”
8. What is Dimbleby’s suggestion for the dialect class
A. More activities to revive the dialect. B. More courses provided for retirees.
C. Greater participation of young people. D. Greater enthusiasm in elderly learners.
9. What does the underlined phrase ”resorting to“in paragraph 3 mean
A. Turning to B. Writing down. C. Summing up. D. Speaking of.
10. What makes Joanna Kaye interested in the Yorkshire dialect
A. The Queen’s charm. B. His mother’s influence.
C. His childhood dream. D. The requirement for a host.
11. Why did Jean Crampton go to the dialect class
A. To pass on the Yorkshire dialect. B. To share her father’s experiences.
C. To restore memories from her parents. D. To learn the Yorkshire dialect grammar.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了约克郡方言的相关内容，以及人们对约克郡方言的态度。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““We’ve got to get more young people involved,” says Dimbleby. The feedback so far has been positive, but the class is mostly made up of retirees. He is hoping to run another course on Saturday mornings, when younger people are available.”（“我们必须让更多的年轻人参与进来，”丁布尔比说。到目前为止，反馈是积极的，但课程主要由退休人员组成。他希望在年轻人有空的周六上午再开一门课）可知，丁布尔认为应该吸引更多的年轻人参与到约克郡方言的课程中。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。第三段提到“different people may pronounce it in different ways”（不同的人可能会以不同的方式发音）后文中又举了个例子““nothing” in Yorkshire is “nowt”, but some people would read “out”, while in most of Yorkshire it has more of an “ohwt” sound”（约克郡的“nothing”是“nowt”，但有些人会读成“out”，而在约克郡的大部分地区，它更多的是“ohwt”的音）由此可知，不同地区对于某个词的发音是不一样的，如果不是借助于发音规则的话则很容易读成不一样的。A项turning to意为“转向；致力于；求助于”与划线部分意思一致。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“I’ve always been fascinated by the Yorkshire dialect,(我一直对约克郡方言着迷)”和“My mother, although she taught me to speak properly, she could speak in the dialect.”（我的母亲，虽然她教我说话得体，但她会说方言）可知，Kaye的母亲虽然会说得体的英语，但是她会说方言这一点让Kaye开始对约克郡方言感兴趣了。由此推知，Kaye对约克郡方言感兴趣是母亲的影响。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Jean Crampton, here for the first time, has a notebook to write down words used by her parents, who died more than 10 years ago. (Jean Crampton第一次来到这里，她带着一个笔记本，记录她十多年前去世的父母说过的话)”和““And that’s why I’ve come, to be reminded of them. After they died, that immediacy fades, and language is one of the things that can help bring it back into your mind, which is brilliant.””（“这就是我来这里的原因，想让他们提醒我。他们死后，那种直接感就消失了，语言是一种可以帮助你把它带回脑海的东西，这很聪明。”）可知，Jean去方言学习班学习方言是为了纪念和父母之间的回忆。故选C。
D
Scientists once considered sleep to be like a shadow getting drawn over a window between the brain and the outside world: when the shadow is closed, the brain stops reacting to outside stimuli (刺激).
A study published on 12 October in Nature Neuroscience suggests that there might be periods during sleep when that shade is partially open.
A few years ago, Oudiette, a cognitive scientist in France, began questioning the definition of sleep after she and her team conducted an experiment in which they were able to communicate with people who are aware that they are dreaming while they sleep — otherwise known as clear dreamers. During these people’s dreams, experimenters were able to ask questions and get responses through eye and facial-muscle movements.
Karen Konkoly, who was a co-author on that study, says “it was a big open question in our minds whether communication would be possible with non-clear dreamers.”
So Oudiette continued with the work. In her latest study, she and her colleagues observed 27 people with narcolepsy (嗜睡症) — characterized by daytime sleepiness and a high frequency of clear dreams — and 22 people without the condition. While they were sleeping, participants were repeatedly asked to frown or smile. All of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these tips. Overall response rates were higher for all participants during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the deepest sleep occurs but the brain remains quite active, than during other sleep stages.
This study is part of a larger advance in the field of sleep research, says Mélanie Strauss,a cognitive scientist in Brussels. Researchers are moving away from monitoring sleep mainly with EEG (脑电图) and towards “fine grained” approaches that combine EEG with various tasks and stimuli — a strategy that could help to cast light on specific diseases or conditions, she says.
12. What did scientists think of sleep in the past
A. It happens during different periods.
B. It is a shadow formed within the brain.
C. It suggests a weakening in the brain’s functions.
D. It means a stop in brain’s response to the outside.
13. How did clear dreamers react to the experimenters
A. By moving their face and eyes. B. By repeating the questions.
C. By providing accurate answers. D. By talking about their dream.
14. What can we learn about the participants in the latest study
A. They like sleeping in the daytime.
B. They remember their dreams clearly.
C. They do exactly as they’re told during sleep.
D. They show higher response in the deepest sleep.
15. What does Mélanie Strauss mainly tell us in the last paragraph
A. The limitation of using EEG. B. A cure for specific diseases.
C. The progress of the sleep research. D. A method of detecting sleep
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，实验表明，睡眠并不像科学家们想象的那样将你与外界隔绝。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists once considered sleep to be like a shadow getting drawn over a window between the brain and the outside world: when the shadow is closed, the brain stops reacting to outside stimuli (刺激). (科学家们曾经认为睡眠就像大脑和外部世界之间的窗户上蒙上的遮光帘：当遮光帘关闭时，大脑就会停止对外界刺激的反应。)”可知，科学家过去认为睡觉意味着大脑对外界的反应停止。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“During these people’s reams, experimenters were able to ask questions and get responses through eye and facial-muscle movements. (在这些人的实验过程中，实验人员可以提出问题并通过他们眼睛和面部肌肉的运动得到回应。)”可知，清醒梦者通过面部和眼睛的移动来和实验人员交流，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“All of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these tips. Overall response rates were higher for all participants during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the deepest sleep occurs but the brain remains quite active, than during other sleep stages. (所有参与者在REM(快速眼动)睡眠期间的总体反应率都高于其他睡眠阶段。REM是深度睡眠，但大脑仍相当活跃)”可知，参与者在深度睡眠阶段表现出更高的反应，故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This study is part of a larger advance in the field of sleep research, says Mélanie Strauss, a cognitive scientist in Brussels. Researchers are moving away from monitoring sleep mainly with EEG (脑电图) and towards ‘fine grained’ approaches that combine EEG with various tasks and stimuli — a strategy that could help to cast light on specific diseases or conditions, she says. (这项研究是睡眠研究领域更大进展的一部分，布鲁塞尔的认知科学家Mélanie Strauss说。她说，研究人员正在从主要通过脑电图监测睡眠，转向将脑电图与各种任务和刺激结合起来的‘细粒度’方法——一种有助于阐明特定疾病或状况的策略。)”可知，Mélanie Strauss主要讲述了睡眠研究的进展，故选C。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Play is part of a parent-child friendship
Play is a crucial element of friendship with children. With babies and very young children, we parents play with them,engaging in back-and-forth activities like hide-and-seek and tower building. ____16____ They pull us into play, and we feel pleasure.
But delight hits a setback when our child learns how to say “no”. From this point onward —into adolescence —we focus on getting a child to behave.____17____ It’s parenting belief, not specifically defined, but often translated into “because I said so”.
While parents must help children learn to meet adult demands, when we limit our parenting focus to “command and control” we can crowd out “delight”. ____18____ If we can leave space for child-driven activities —without adult demands —we can return to delight. These interactions expand our relationship and help our child learn self-regulation and communication. It’s not the same as peer friendship, but we are being a friend.
____19____ The key is following your child’s lead. As they get older and they are deep into other things, friendly play might include teaching you to play their favorite video game or share their YouTube. Your child won’t want you to be their primary friend in these spaces, but being curious and kind is a way to be a friend and a parent. You will be an uncool friend who will never fully get it, but you will be a friend.
____20____ Especially as they get older, they will set more limits on it. But if you make a habit of friendly play with your child, that space will always be there between you, and it will vastly expand your parenting toolbox.
A. They often start the game, and we join in.
B. Kids won’t always want you to play with them.
C. We are told in many ways to be the parent, not the friend.
D. Highlighting our role as taskmasters limits our parenting tools.
E. It can be a powerful tool for developing parent-child relationships.
F. This looks different from babyhood to youth but it’s always essential.
G. Friendly play with children can range from building blocks to hide-and-seek.
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了玩耍是亲子友谊的一部分，以及怎样能够很好地和孩子们一起玩耍。
【16题详解】
根据上文“With babies and very young children, we parents play with them, engaging in back-and-forth activities like hide-and-seek and tower building.”（对于婴儿和很小的孩子，我们父母会和他们一起玩，玩捉迷藏和盖塔之类的来回游戏。）讲的是父母会和孩子一起玩游戏。以及下文“They pull us into play, and we feel pleasure.”（他们把我们拉进游戏，我们感到快乐。）提到孩子把我们拉进游戏。A项They often start the game, and we join in.（他们经常开始游戏，我们也加入进来。）起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“From this point onward —into adolescence —we focus on getting a child to behave.”（从这一点开始——进入青春期——我们把重点放在让孩子守规矩上。）可知，讲的是孩子在成长过程中，我们把重点放在让孩子守规矩上。以及下文“It’s parenting belief, not specifically defined, but often translated into “because I said so”.”（这是为人父母的信念，没有明确的定义，但经常被翻译成“因为我这么说”。）说明作为父母的责任。由此可知，空处应该承接上文，继续描写父母让孩子守规矩的表现，选项C项We are told in many ways to be the parent, not the friend.（我们在很多方面都被告知要做父母，而不是朋友。）符合，承接上文内容。故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“While parents must help children learn to meet adult demands, when we limit our parenting focus to “command and control” we can crowd out “delight”.”（虽然父母必须帮助孩子学会满足成人的要求，但当我们把教育的重点限制在“命令和控制”上时，我们就会排挤掉“快乐”。）可知，讲的是父母把教育的重点限制在“命令和控制”上时，就会排挤掉“快乐”，空处承接上文，继续描述父母把教育的重点限制在“命令和控制”上，选项D项Highlighting our role as taskmasters limits our parenting tools.（强调我们作为“监工”的角色会限制我们的育儿工具。）符合。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“The key is following your child’s lead. As they get older and they are deep into other things, friendly play might include teaching you to play their favorite video game or share their YouTube.”（关键是要跟随孩子的脚步。随着他们年龄的增长，他们开始沉迷于其他事情，友好的游戏可能包括教你玩他们最喜欢的电子游戏或分享他们的YouTube。）可知，讲的是玩的游戏要跟随孩子的脚步，由此可知，空格处应为类似的游戏。结合选项G项Friendly play with children can range from building blocks to hide-and-seek.（和孩子们友好的玩耍可以从搭积木到捉迷藏。）符合此推断，上下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Especially as they get older, they will set more limits on it.”（特别是随着年龄的增长，他们会设置更多的限制。）说明孩子们随着年龄的增长，和他们在一起玩的时候可能会有些障碍，这说明孩子并不总是喜欢和父母在一起。B项Kids won’t always want you to play with them.（孩子们并不总是希望你和他们一起玩。）承接上文。故选B项。

【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：西溪国家湿地公园位于杭州西部，距离西湖不到5公里，是一个独特的城区场所。分析可知，“place(地方，地点)”为可数名词，所填应是不定冠词做限定词，空后形容词“exceptional”的发音为“/ k sep nl/”，元音音素开头，用an。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：这个公园是城市生活如何将农业与文化相结合的先驱，使其成为一个真正独特的旅游目的地。分析可知，这里为副词作状语，修饰形容词“unique”。“true”，形容词，意为“真正的”，其副词形式为“truly(真正地，完全地)”。故填truly。
【38题详解】

考查连词。句意：公园占地11.5平方公里，由三条堤道组成，以十大著名景点为特色。分析可知，空后“features(以……为特色，以……为主要组成)”为动词第三人称单数，是谓语动词，与“consists”并列作谓语，因此，所填空应并列连词and。故填and。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：公园的近70%被河港、池塘和小湖占据，这说明了湿地环境。分析可知，所填动词作句子的谓语动词。结合语境，时态用一般现在时，且主语“Nearly 70% of the park”与动词“occupy”之间为被动关系，主语由“百分数+of+单数可数名词”构成，被视为第三人称单数，因此，应是结构：is done。故填is occupied。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这些水道穿过公园，将其划分为不同的部分：东部，西部和中部。分析可知，“____6____ (divide) it into distinct sections…”为伴随状语，动词“divide(分成，分割)”与其逻辑主语“These waterways”之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填dividing。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：最近，政府建立了生态保护区和观光区。分析可知，所填动词作句子的谓语动词。结合时间状语“Recently”可知，用现在完成时，主语“the government”为第三人称单数，应是“has done”。故填has established。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，游客还可以参观湿地科学展览馆，它位于公园正门。分析可知，“conveniently ____8____ (locate) at the park’s main entrance”为后置定语，修饰之前的宾语“the Wetland Science Exhibition Hall”，动词“locate(把……安置在，建造于)”与其之间为被动关系，用过去分词形式。故填located。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：看西溪湿地没有正确的方式。分析可知，这里应是动词不定式作名词“way”的后置定语，“the way to do”，意为“做某事的方式/方法”。故填to see。
【45题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：关于西溪湿地，唯一能说的是，如果你没有见过它们，你就没有真正见过杭州。分析可知，“____10____ if you haven’t seen them, you haven’t really seen Hangzhou”为“is”的表语从句，从句结构和句意完整，用“that”作连接词。故填that。
