Lately, the capybara, a cute animal, has become popular online. People love it for its friendly nature and relaxing lifestyle. Many people use its picture as their profile photo to show their love for it.
Capybaras live in South America and they are strong swimmers. Their small eyes, and hairless ears are located high on their heads to keep them alert when most of their body is underwater. Their pig-shaped bodies and short necks are adapted for life in bodies of water found in forests. They have dark brown fur, allowing them to quickly dry when on land.
Capybaras are social animals. They are known to build relationships with other animals. They like to stay on their own, but if human or other animals try to get close to them, they will never run away and will communicate with them, even with large and strong animals such as crocodiles and gorillas. Sometimes capybaras become “________” while moving. They take small animals like birds, ducks, and even monkeys for a free ride.
They eat plants for a living and they won’t hurt other animals. Capybaras usually eat water plants in the morning and evening, spending the rest of the day bathing in water and resting on the shore. As the largest rodent animal in the world, Capybaras have only a few enemies. Living by water, it is easy for them to hide in the water to stay away from danger. They live such a comfortable life that nothing seems to make them worry.
Nowadays, Capybaras are getting popular as friends of humans. More and more people around the world want to raise a capybara as a pet. After all, no one can say no to such a cute and kind friend.

Not long ago, I was visiting one of the greatest saw factories on the Mississippi River with the manager. As we came to a room, he said, “I want you to watch the boys in the room and I will tell you about them later.”
There were some boys at work on saws, with different work. Some were making the teeth of saw wider and some were sharpening them. But only one boy named Jack stood against the wall with nothing to do.
After we went out of the room, the manager said, “That room is my sieve. There are some differences in and out of it.” The fine boys go through that sieve to higher places and get higher pay. The lazy boys stay in the sieve or leave the factory.
Then he explained what he meant. “If a boy wants to work in the factory, I will give him the job of offering drinking water to the men in all parts of the factory. That is the lowest place with the lowest pay. I say to that boy: When you have nothing to do, go into this room, and then I shall know how to find you when I want you.”
“Now, I put the water boy into this room. There are pieces of broken saws lying about, and they can choose to sharpen and make them better.”
“I watch that boy. If he begins working on the broken saw, like the other boys at their machines and asking questions about how to do the work, and he makes use of his free time, that boy will get promotion very soon. Then I will get a new water boy.”
“But there is another kind of boy. When he has free time, he spends it in doing nothing. He looks out of the window and watches the clock to see how soon he can get away. If he talks to the other boys, it is not to ask questions about the work, but only to spend time. I don’t want such a boy in my factory even as a water boy. Now it’s time to decide in and out of the sieve. I’d like to talk to the water boy Jack.”
18. The manager asked the boys to be a water boy at first because ________.
A. it was an easy work for a new boy to do
B. there was nothing else for a new boy to do
C. he wanted to know if they worked hard
D. people in the factory needed the water to drink
19. The underlined word “promotion” means ________.
A. less work to do B. a better place at work
C. more work to do D. a worse place at work
20. What’s the best title of the passage
A. The great saw factory B. The new water boy
C. In and out of the sieve D. Different work in the factory
21. What would the manager tell Jack Why （约40词）
______________________________
【答案】18. C 19. B 20. C
21. He would tell Jack he didn’t want such a lazy boy even as a water boy. Because when Jack had some free time, he only spent it doing nothing without trying to finish some other work.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参观锯厂时听到经理谈论利用筛选室来筛选有能力员工的故事。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据“If a boy wants to work in the factory, I will give him the job of offering drinking water to...When you have nothing to do, go into this room, and then I shall know how to find you when I want you.”和“Now, I put the water boy into this room. There are pieces of broken saws lying about, and they can choose to sharpen and make them better.”可知，经理表示如果一个男孩想在工厂工作，会给他一份工资最低的送水的工作，并且经理会告诉对那个男孩当他没事的时候，走进这个房间，然后在经理需要他的时候会找他；经理把送水男孩放进了这个到处都是破损的锯的房间，他们可以选择改善并且使它们更好，可推测经理一开始让男孩送水是要观察他们是否能在送水之余还努力去做其他工作，C选项“他想知道他们是否努力工作”与文章相符。故选C。
【19题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“I watch that boy. If he begins working on the broken saw, like the other boys at their machines and asking questions about how to do the work, and he makes use of his free time, that boy will get promotion very soon.”可知，经理观察那个男孩，如果他利用空闲时间，像其他在机器旁的男孩一样，开始修理坏掉的锯子，并询问如何完成这项工作，即那个男孩很快就会升职，升职后工作环境会比现在好，可推测promotion表示“晋升”，B选项“一个更好的工作场所”与promotion意思相近。故选B。
【20题详解】
标题归纳题。全文通篇主要讲述了作者参观锯厂时听到经理谈论利用筛选室来筛选有能力员工的故事，即筛选室的内外。故选C。
【21题详解】
根据“But only one boy named Jack stood against the wall with nothing to do.”和“But there is another kind of boy. When he has free time, he spends it in doing nothing...I don’t want such a boy in my factory even as a water boy. Now it’s time to decide in and out of the sieve. I’d like to talk to the water boy Jack.”可知，杰克站在墙边无所事事；经理表示当有人有空闲时间，但他什么都不做，只是希望快些离开，如果他和其他男孩说话，不是问关于工作的问题，只是为了消磨时间，经理不想让这样的男孩留在工厂里，哪怕只是一名送水男孩，此处为开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。故答案为He would tell Jack he didn’t want such a lazy boy even as a water boy. Because when Jack had some free time, he only spent it doing nothing without trying to finish some other work.

First, there are lots of interesting things to do on Dongtou Island. First, you can play with the sand and go swimming. Second, you can go sailing in the sea. After that, you can choose a hotel and enjoy delicious seafood there.
As for transportation, I advise you to take Line S2 from the airport. It’s the fastest and most convenient way. Then you can take a taxi to any beach. Remember to take your swimming clothes.
Hope you’ll have a good time in Wenzhou.
Yours,
Li Hua

Lately, the capybara, a cute animal, has become popular online. People love it for its friendly nature and relaxing lifestyle. Many people use its picture as their profile photo to show their love for it.
Capybaras live in South America and they are strong swimmers. Their small eyes, and hairless ears are located high on their heads to keep them alert when most of their body is underwater. Their pig-shaped bodies and short necks are adapted for life in bodies of water found in forests. They have dark brown fur, allowing them to quickly dry when on land.
Capybaras are social animals. They are known to build relationships with other animals. They like to stay on their own, but if human or other animals try to get close to them, they will never run away and will communicate with them, even with large and strong animals such as crocodiles and gorillas. Sometimes capybaras become “________” while moving. They take small animals like birds, ducks, and even monkeys for a free ride.
They eat plants for a living and they won’t hurt other animals. Capybaras usually eat water plants in the morning and evening, spending the rest of the day bathing in water and resting on the shore. As the largest rodent animal in the world, Capybaras have only a few enemies. Living by water, it is easy for them to hide in the water to stay away from danger. They live such a comfortable life that nothing seems to make them worry.
Nowadays, Capybaras are getting popular as friends of humans. More and more people around the world want to raise a capybara as a pet. After all, no one can say no to such a cute and kind friend.
14. Mary uses the capybara as her profile photo, the photo may be ________

17. What’s the structure of the passage （P=Paragraph）
A. B. C. D.
C
Not long ago, I was visiting one of the greatest saw factories on the Mississippi River with the manager. As we came to a room, he said, “I want you to watch the boys in the room and I will tell you about them later.”
There were some boys at work on saws with different work. Some were making the teeth of saw wider and some were sharpening them. But only one boy named Jack stood against the wall with nothing to do.
After we went out of the room, the manager said, “That room is my sieve. There are some differences in and out of it.” The fine boys go through that sieve to higher places and get higher pay. The lazy boys stay in the sieve or leave the factory.
Then he explained what he meant. “If a boy wants to work in the factory, I will give him the job of offering drinking water to the men in all parts of the factory. That is the lowest place with the lowest pay. I say to that boy: When you have nothing to do, go into this room, and then I shall know how to find you when I want you.”
“Now, I put the water boy into this room. There are pieces of broken saws lying about, and they can choose to sharpen and make them better.”
“I watch that boy. If he begins working on the broken saw, like the other boys at their machines and asking questions about how to do the work, and he makes use of his free time, that boy will get promotion very soon. Then I will get a new water boy.”
“But there is another kind of boy. When he has free time, he spends it in doing nothing. He looks out of the window and watches the clock to see how soon he can get away. If he talks to the other boys, it is not to ask questions about the work, but only to spend time. I don’t want such a boy in my factory even as a water boy. Now it’s time to decide in and out of the sieve. I’d like to talk to the water boy Jack.”
18. The manager asked the boys to be a water boy at first because ________.
A. it was an easy work for a new boy to do
B. there was nothing else for a new boy to do
C. he wanted to know if they worked hard
D. people in the factory needed the water to drink
19 The underlined word “promotion” means ________.
A. less work to do B. a better place at work
C. more work to do D. a worse place at work
20. What’s the best title of the passage
A. The great saw factory B. The new water boy
C. In and out of the sieve D. Different work in the factory
