二、完形填空（本大题共10小题, 每小题1分，共10分）
Many of us enjoy watching animals in the world. But do you know what they can teach us?
Geese(雁), for example, teach a very good lesson about 15 . In the fall, Canada geese fly to the warm south to 16 Canada’s cold winter. They lift off in no order. Yet 17 they form a V shape, with one bird leading the group.
This V shape allows geese to 18 energy. When the front bird moves its wings up and down, the resulting force of the air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The bird 19 has the hardest job. When it gets 20 , it moves behind, and another bird moves into the lead. By sharing the role, the group can travel great distances. Geese flying in a V shape can fly 70 percent farther without 21 than birds flying alone.
During the long flying journey, geese communicate with one another. They honk(鸣叫) to 22 the birds in front to keep up the speed. They also cheer each other up 23 working toward a common goal.
What have we learned from the lovely geese’s experience and skills?
24 together! Whether it is our personal lives or our jobs, we need other people. We need the spirit of teamwork！
15. A. experience B. success C. friendship D. teamwork
16. A. look for B. get away from C. wait for D. walk away from

20. A. bored B. tired C. hungry D. thirsty
21. A. rest B. sleep C. excuse D. result
22. A. lead B. lift C. teach D. encourage
23. A. until B. after C. while D. before
24. A. Play B. Travel C. Live D. Work

Hannay was nervous. His enemies were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. Ha had nowhere to hide. How could he escape？
Hannay walked along the country road for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”
“My head hurts,” the road worker said. “I can’t do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That’s the problem!”
Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.
“Yes, and I would be,” he replied, “but yesterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, I’ll be in trouble.”
Suddenly Hannay had a bright idea--- he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.
“You go off to bed,” Hanaay said. “I’ll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”
The road worker was pleased with this idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the road worker’s hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later he heard a voice.
“Are you the road worker?” it asked.
It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.
Hannay said yes. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.
Then a village boy came by. “What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.

Parents of young children know this: You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie—the evidence of candy written on his or her face. However, you get wide-eyed denial: “I don’t do it!”
Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral(道德) development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.
Early in 2017 Professor Craig E. Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong, such as taking a classmate’s toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing(承认) it. In each case, they asked the children. How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?
The children’s answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the above research, showing a gradual growth of moral understanding in early children. More of the four-to-five-year-olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive feeling towards a confessor.
Smith says, “Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child’s confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confess.
31. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us _________.
A. Kids can’t tell “right” from “wrong”
B. It takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth
C. It’s wrong to punish kids for telling the truth
D. All the kids are willing to confess to a bad act
32. What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?
A. Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.
B. Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.
C. The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime.
D. The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.
33. According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies?
A. Parents should at once punish the children who lied.
B. Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.
C. Parents should never get angry after their children’s confessions.
D. Parents should show positive feelings about their children’s confessions.

Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys(拼接玩具) as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated(犹豫) to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who was crazy about creating new things with Tinkertoys in his free time. His works filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was proud to have such student. He had very unusual creativity at work. His creativity meant that I had an unexpected teaching helper in class and I could use it to infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would announce, “But I’m just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”
“Oh, sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”
“Nobody. I do it.”
“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay?”
34. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.
A. raise the students’ interest in art B. make the lessons more exciting
C. know more about the students D. teach the students about toy design
35. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone.
C. He was active in class. D. He was imaginative.
36. What does the underlined word downside in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Mistake B. Disadvantage C. Disability D. Difference
37. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A. To help them to see their creativity.
B. To find out about their sleeping habits.
C. To help them to improve their memory.
D. To find out about their ways of thinking.

To write a great news story, you have to make sure it is correct, relevant (相关的) and fresh.
For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.
Any mistakes that show up in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.
For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn’t the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.
A news story does not only have to be correct, but it must also be relevant to its readers. People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That’s why you care more about what happens at your school than at schools in America. It’s also why newspapers in Beijing don’t talk much about news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.
Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happened that day. You don’t want to read about news from last week!
So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a look at our paper and see if it’s full of good news! You can try writing a news story for our paper like a real reporter.
