Deposited there are important letters and cards collected throughout my life, from my grandparents, school friends, parents, wife and son. Since the invention of e­mail though, they've been few and far between.Tonight is New Year's Eve 2029 and there's a very special box of letters I want to look at. But first there's something I have to doThe Ritual (惯例)I go to my trusted computer and start. I begin to type: Dear . I leave the name blank for now, anticipating the thrill of typing it in. “I hope you are well and I wonder what your life is like. Are you still planning to move to that villa in Portugal? Did your son marry Fiona? Is your mother still alive？” Questions surge into my mind.For the next two hours I sit writing about what I've been doing for the last year, my failing health, my increasing wealth and my sometime difficult marriage; then about my goals and ambitions. Will he be interested? Do I climb Mt. Kilimanjaro? Do I get that novel published? The one that's been rejected more times than I care to think about. Finally, it's finished at 11：30 pm. I fill in the recipient's name, print my letter, sign and address it and then seal it up with tape. I then delete the document and empty the trash folder to avoid the possibility of temptation. That completes the ritual!I walk over to my “special box”. It contains ten long, white, thick envelopes, all with the same handwriting. I place the one I have just written in at the back and take the one out at the front. It's dated 2019, and labelled “to be opened on 31st December, 2029”The cycle is finally complete! I open it, trembling with anticipation. I begin to read, tearing up a little as I do so. Throughout the last ten long, eventful years, of life, death, joy and heartbreak, it has been waiting patiently in this box for me, though I now have no memory of ever having written it.【语篇解读】在2029年的除夕，在阅读自己2019 年写给自己的信之前，作者必须给未来的自己再写一封信。在信中，作者写到了健康、财富、婚姻等，写完后，作者阅读了2019年写给自己的信1Why does the author receive fewer “important letters” these days?AHe has moved from his original address.BHe is rarely in contact with his friends and family.CPeople communicate with each other less often than before.DElectronic communication has largely replaced physical letters.解析：D细节理解题。根据第一段尾句“Since the invention of e­mail though，they've been few and far between”可知，由于电子邮件的发明，作者收到的信件少了。故选D项。2Who does the underlined word “he” in Paragraph 4 refer to?AThe author himself.BThe author's son.CThe author's school friend.DThe author's book publisher.解析：A代词指代题。根据全文内容尤其是最后一段中的“though I now have no memory of ever having written it”可推知，作者是在给未来的自己写信，该句中的he指作者自己。故选A项。3Why does the author delete the completed letter from his computer?ASo that no one else will be able to read it.BSo that he won't read it ahead of schedule.CBecause he decides at last not to send it.DBecause he wants to forget what has happened.解析：B推理判断题。根据第五段第三句“I then delete the document and empty the trash folder to avoid the possibility of temptation.”可知，作者删除了文件并清空了垃圾文件夹以避免可能的诱惑；结合下文中作者阅读2019年写给自己的信可以推断，作者删除文件是为了防止自己禁不住诱惑提前阅读信件。故选B项。4How does the author feel as he is about to open his special letter?ARelieved.BMoved.CExcited.

However, some scientists believe it should be considered 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 twenty­one undergraduate students and twenty­one 6­to 8­year­old children. The popular challenge involves hiding a small object under one of three or more upturned 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 6­to 8­year­olds 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 movements, 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 brain functionality similar to that of humans.“The fact that the smart parrot loves to show off its brain power in exchange for a few cashews (腰果) did not hurt either，” said Irene Pepperberg, 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.【语篇解读】“鸟的大脑”这个词经常用来描述一个人缺乏智慧和良好的决策能力。然而，一些科学家认为，它应该被认为是一种赞扬，因为许多鸟类可以执行人类的任务，如生产和使用工具，解决问题，并计划未来所需。如今，一只非洲灰鹦鹉已经证明，鸟类甚至可能拥有比成年人和儿童更好的视觉记忆。5What were the participants required to do in the

chosen for the experiment?AIt was good at making decisions.BIt was specially trained for experiments.CIt had brain functions similar to human beings'.DIt loved to show off its language power for some treats.解析：C细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Griffin was the candidate of choice because the scientists needed an animal that had brain functionality similar to that of humans.”可知，格里芬被选为实验对象的原因是它的大脑功能与人类相似故选C项。8What is the best title for the text?A“Bird Brain” Becomes a Term for a Stupid PersonBA Harvard Lecturer Leads the Way in Bird Intelligence StudyCA Parrot Outsmarted Harvard Students in the Visual Memory TestDResearchers Made New Discoveries About Human Intelligence解析：C标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了一项研究发现，鸟类甚至可能拥有比成年人和儿童更好的视觉记忆，在视觉记忆测试中，一只鹦鹉甚至胜过了哈佛学生。故选C项。.完形填空We met in a support group for parents of children with
