I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: 4tyes, and." It means that, as improvisers, we'd better accept what fellow perfbrmers say. If someone says that rhinos （犀牛）are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say "yes" and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn't grow out of the infbnnation I'd presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the "yes, and" approach -accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it.The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results arc real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell-one that isn't behaving as expected.I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it's worth finding out whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn't to challenge data that support a preconceived （先入为主的） story, but to say "yes, and.". Why did the author attend the improvisation class?A. To get a different experience.B. To finish her Ph.D. at universityC. lb give up her job as a science communicatorD. lb improve her speaking and communicating ability. What was the author's change after attending the improvisation class?A. She formed her own idea quicklyB. She came up with lots of creative responsesC. She became a good listener before giving an opinionD. She paid more attention to the logic of answers. The author mentions applying the "yes, and" approach to her scientific experiments to.A. explain the process of using the methodB. prove the benefits of the improvisation classC. share her own research experiences with readersD. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph?A. They should carry on research by admitting earlier dataB. They should question all preconceived ideasC. They should attend the improvisation classD. They should try to improve their professional knowledgeCThe term "bird brain" is frequently used to describe a person's lack of intelligence and good decision-making ability. However, some scientists believe it should be considered a praise, given that many birds can perform human tasks like producing and using tools, solving problems, and planning for future needs. Now, Griffin, an African Grey parrot, has proved that birds may even possess better visual memories than human adults and children.The study, led by Hrag Pailian, a researcher at Harvard University, had the parrot compete in the game against twenty-one undergraduate students and twenty-one 6 to 8-year-old children. The popular challenge involves hiding a small object under one of three or more upside-down cups, which are moved around. Participants are required to accurately identify the cup under which the object lies. To make the task more challenging, the researchers required participants to track two, three, and four objects at the same time.An analysis of the results showed that Griffin outperformed the 6 to 8-year-olds across all levels on average. Even more impressive, the "bird brain" performed as well as, or slightly better than, the 21 Harvard students on 12 of the 14 trials! It was only in the final two tests, which had the most objects and most movement, that the parrot fell behind the adults. However, Griffin's performance was never below that of the children.Griffin was the candidate of choice because the scientists needed an animal that had a brain functionality similar to that of humans. "The fact that the smart parrot loves to show off his brain power in exchange for a few cashews （腰果）did not hurt either'1, said Irene Pcpperberg, a Harvard lecturer, who has trained Griffin and several other African Grey parrots, has been studying the species for over four decades and is considered a pioneer in the study of bird intelligence.3 .What were the participants required to do in the study?A.Idcntify different kinds of objects.B.Tell where the hidden objectlies.C.Track other participants' performance. D.Move around upside-down cups. 9. What did the results of the study indicate?A. 6 to 8-year-olds did better than Griffin.B. Parrots have a better memory than other birds.C. Griffin outsmarted Harvard students in some trials.D. Harvard students have a better visual memory.10. Why was Griffin chosen for the experiment?A.It was good at making decisions.B.It had similar brain functions to human beings.C.It was specially trained for experiments.D.It loved to show off his language power for some treats.11. What is the best title for the text?A."Bird brain" becomes a term for a stupid person.B. Harvard lecturer pioneers in bird intelligence study.C. Parrot outsmarted Harvard students in visual memory test.D. Researchers made new discoveries about human intelligence.DYellowstoneNational Park became America's first national park in 1872. The National Park Service was formed 44 years later in 1916.Yellowstone, which is mostly in the state of Wyoming, is considered an example of the success of the National Park System.Humans have been present in Yellowstone for more than 11,000 years.Yellowstone contains beautiful mountains, deep canyons（峡谷），lakes and ri vers.The name Yellowstone comes from the river running through the area. At first known as Rock Yellow River, it became known as the Yellowstone River.Yellowstone is host to many different species of plants. However, the park is most distinctive because of what lies underneath it. It sits on top of an ancient super volcano, known as The Yellowstone Caldera. The caldera is 48 by 72 kilometers. And it remains an active volcano.It is believed that the last time the volcano erupted was one half million years ago. The area has had three major eruptions in the last three million years.Experts say it may erupt again in another 1,000 to 10,000 years. But each year, there are thousands of earthquakes at Yellowstone. Most are too small to be felt by people visiting the park.Yellowstone is filled with the beauty of many hot water springs, hot water and gasses are trapped under the earth, they rush to the surface in the form of hot water and steam. Old Faithful is The most famous one . Jt erupts about every hour or hour and a half. The eruption can last from one and a half minutes up to 5 minutes. The amount of hot water it expels 非出in that time can be as much as 31,000 liters or more.In addition to its beauty and wonder, Yellowstone is an animal sanctuary【保护 区.It is home to the largest group of wild animals in the United States. As you travel through the park, you can sometimes sec them in their natural habitat and hear their calls .12.

Newspapers, magazines and sports programs on TV frequently cover boxing matches. J.6It seems to me that some people, especially men find it attractive because it is an aggressive（攻击性的）sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer, and this gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. 17.However, there is a negative side to boxing.18 Although boxers weargloves during the fights, and amateur（业余的）boxers even have to wear helmets, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with terrible results. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring（拳击台）.19 Sometimes even if a boxer has never been knocked out, hemight have suffered severe brain damage without knowing it.20 I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV, and we welcomed more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.A. Professional boxers earn a lot of money, and successful boxers are treated as big heroes.B. Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression.C. I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing.D. In my personal opinion, boxing can be so thrilling that many people dare not have a try.E. Furthermore, studies have shown that here are often long-term effects of boxing.F. It can be a very dangerous sport.G. It is likely to threaten personal safety of people.第三局部语言知识运用（共两节，总分值45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，总分值30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以 填入空白处的最正确选项。One dark morning during my walk, I fell and had my 21 broken.
