field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.Since my first visit to the farm,I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses.My parents would never agree because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling.However,my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room,where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.“I want to climb the stone walls.”I said.“Heavens,no!Youll hurt yourself!”The response was just as Id expected.But before I left the room,I was stopped by my grandfathers loud voice.“Now hold on just a minute.”I heard him say.“Let the boy climb the stone walls.He has to learn to do things for himself.”“Go,”he said to me,“and come and see me when you get back.”For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old wallsand had the time of my life.Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures.Ill never forget what he said.“Fred,”he said,smiling,“you made this day a special day just by being yourself.Always remember,theres only one person in this whole world like you,and I like you exactly as you are.”Many years have passed since then,and today I host the television program Mister Rogers Neighborhood,seen by millions of children throughout America.There have been changes over the years,but one thing remains the same:my message to children at the end of almost every visit.“Theres only one person in this whole world like you,”the kids will hear me say,“and people can like you exactly as you are.”24.Why did

Psychology,tested the ability of four pigs(Hamlet,Omelette,Ebony and Ivory)to play a simple joystick(操纵杆)game with their noses,moving a cursor(光标)to four targets on the screen.Although the animals didnt show the skills to win a round any time,they did show an understanding of some simple games.Performing well not by chance,the pigs appeared to recognize that the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick.The fact that they did so well although they didnt have flexible fingers is“extraordinary”,according to the researchers.That pigs can do this should give us pause about what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may influence them,”said Purdue Universitys Dr Candace Croney,the studys lead author.Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation,they also responded well to social interaction.In fact,when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it,“only encouraging words from the experimenter”would make the pigs continue their training.These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence and learning abilities of pigs.Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food,but studies have also shown how pigs can be taught to“come”and“sit”after oral commands.As with any sentient(有感觉力的)beings,how we interact with pigs and what we do to them influences and matters to them.We therefore have a duty to further understand how pigs get information and what they are capable of learning and remembering,because this may help them understand their interactions with us and their environments.28.What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A.The pigs knew a lot about the video games.B.The pigs operated joysticks with their noses.C.The pigs competed with each other in the games.D.The pigs sometimes performed well by chance.29.What made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well?A.Their being inspired by human words.B.Their being driven by food.C.Their being willing to keep trying.D.Their being stopped by challenges.30.Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?A.Pigs cant play video games for lack of flexible fingers.第 6 页，共 10 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司B.When playing games,pigs can win a round at any time.C.The research suggests that pigs are very friendly animals.D.When games are difficult,pigs are unwilling to play them.31.What will researchers probably focus on in the next stage of their experiment?A.How pigs learn to play challenging games.B.How pigs improve their learning ability.C.How pigs manage to get information.D.How pigs adapt to their living environment.DA long-nosed fur seal(长鼻海狗)that was tagged(给加上标签)in Tasmania as a baby seal has suddenly turned up in Victoria 25 years later,causing a rethink of how long the animal can survive in the wild.The male fur seal was tagged with an obvious“830”marking on its right side of the body in 1996.The marking recently caught the attention of Victorian wildlife officers who tried to find out where the seal was from and who once put the little seal there.“We were excited to respond to this call and gain important updated information from research activities done more than 20 years ago,”said the Tasmanian Environment Department marine biologist Sam Thalmann.“Scientists used to think the animals can live for at most 19 years,but this sighting of the fur seal 25 years after it was marked provides exciting new knowledge about the longest lifespan(寿命)for wild fur seals in Australia.”Mr.Thalmann said the seal also surprised the researchers in other ways.“We see a lot of old male fur seals that are past their best years of health and move along the Tasmanian coast as they reach their end of life,but this seal tells another story,”he said.“Unlike others,it may continue to live in good health for years to come.”Long-nosed fur seals are found around the coasts of southeastern Australia,southern NSW and New Zealand.The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries,Parks,Water and Environment said long-nosed fur seals were once close to complete disappearance due to the fur trade in the 1800s.But in 1987,the species reappeared in Tasmanian waters and formed a breeding group on Maatsuyker Island,about 10km off the states south coast.In the wild,seals are eaten by several species of sharks including the white shark.The species is now still protected and listed as rare under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act.But the number of this species is recovering fast.Now the total population in Tasmania is 4,000 to 4,500.About 1,000 baby seals are born annually there now.Australia-wide,the population is about 58,000.32.What did the officers think about long-nosed fur seals after knowing about this one?A.They have many secrets unknown to humans.第 7 页，共 10 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司B.They have the strong ability to live independently.C.They now have a much better living environment.D.They can live much longer than people once believed.33.What does the author mean by saying“this seal tells another story”in Paragraph 3?A.This seal is still in good physical condition.B.This seal is much older than other fur seals.C.This seal draws more attention from researchers.D.This seal never moves along the Tasmanian coast.34.What almost led to the complete disappearance of long-nosed fur seals?A.Having lost their natural homes.B.Being overhunted by humans.C.Being killed by the white shark.D.Suffering from climate change.35.How does the author most probably find the situation of long-nosed fur seals now?A.Risky.B.Hopeful.C.Worrying.D.Shocking.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5

finally made it across the monkey bars(单杠).Maybe somebody kicked the ball over the fence.Maybe a fruit tree in a neighboring yard started to drop apples on the playground.36 Its true not just according to kids,but also to adults who study recess for kids.Whether theyre inventing a new game or sitting under a tree,kids need a break or several of them during the school day.Why Kids Need Recess.Theres no debate that recess,or mainly referred to as physical activity,is good for kids.You cant have your brains go hours at a time and retain and store information in working memory.37 Besides,activity that involves arms and legs running,climbing,crawling builds new neural connections,which helps kids regulate their emotions.Studies show that after recess children are more attentive in class,perform better and have fewer emotional problems.How Much Recess Should Kids Get.“Ideally,children should get four 15-minute recesses every day”,says Debbie Rhea,a professor from Texas Christian University,who advocates for outdoor play in schools.38 It is noted that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently expanded the idea to encourage recess for all students,including those in middle and high school.第 8 页，共 10 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司 39 In addition to simply providing enough time for recess,schools should teach skills that will make recess more successful.For instance,letting kids run fast will help them develop coordination._40_.And even falling,is something kids need to practice to avoid getting badly hurt.To al
