Passage 5(2025·南通市如皋期末)
Parrots are known for being able to copy some of the sounds that people make. They might make sounds like “Hello!” or “How are you?” if they often hear words and phrases like these. 1
A 5-year-old parrot in the US has been recognized by Guinness World Records(吉尼斯世界纪录) after correctly identifying(识别) 12 objects in three minutes. 2 He can identify things like books, toys and socks.
3 Now he has about 3 million followers online. In fact, Apollo broke the record in 2023, but he's among the stars in the Guinness Book of World Records that came out in September 2024.
The parrot is owned by a couple named Dalton and Victoria Mason. They've been working hard to train(训练) the bird. 4 “We teach him as much as we can,” the couple told Guinness. They say that they focus on things that Apollo wants to focus on.
Researchers have found that some African grey parrots are able to do better at some cognitive (认知的) tasks than 5-year-old children. 5 They want to find out how much he can learn and how many more records he can break.
A. Apollo became popular on the internet.
B. Apollo's favourite food is sunflower seeds.
C. And Apollo's owners want to keep teaching the bird.
D. Some birds can also learn the names of objects and identify them.
E. That record-breaking bird is an African grey parrot named Apollo.
F. The owners say they teach Apollo as if he were a child of preschool age.

【分析】
这是一篇介绍会识别物品的鹦鹉阿波罗的说明文，解题需紧扣上下文语境，通过逻辑衔接、指代关系、关键词呼应来匹配选项：
1. 前文讲述鹦鹉擅长模仿人类声音，后文提到有鹦鹉能识别12种物品，空白处需要完成从“模仿声音”到“识别物品”的过渡，需找能衔接这两个内容的选项。
2. 前文提及美国一只5岁鹦鹉创吉尼斯纪录，后文用“He”指代该鹦鹉，空白处需明确这只鹦鹉的身份和名字，对应指代线索。
3. 后文提到阿波罗在网上拥有约300万粉丝，空白处应引出它在网络走红这一前提，为后文粉丝数量做铺垫。
4. 前文讲主人努力训练阿波罗，后文补充主人“尽可能教它”，空白处需具体说明主人的训练方式，衔接前后关于“训练”的内容。
5. 前文提到研究发现非洲灰鹦鹉认知能力较强，后文说主人想探索它的学习潜力、破更多纪录，空白处需体现主人继续教它的意愿，引出后文的想法。
【解析】
1. 选项D“Some birds can also learn the names of objects and identify them.”（一些鸟类还能学会物品的名字并识别它们），承接前文“鹦鹉模仿声音”的内容，同时引出后文“识别物品创纪录”的话题，起到承上启下的作用，故选D。
2. 选项E“That record-breaking bird is an African grey parrot named Apollo.”（那只破纪录的鸟是一只叫阿波罗的非洲灰鹦鹉），明确了前文“创纪录鹦鹉”的身份，后文的“He”正好指代“Apollo”，指代关系清晰，衔接自然，故选E。
3. 选项A“Apollo became popular on the internet.”（阿波罗在网上走红了），直接引出后文“拥有300万粉丝”的内容，逻辑连贯，符合语境，故选A。
4. 选项F“The owners say they teach Apollo as if he were a child of preschool age.”（主人说他们教阿波罗就像教学龄前儿童一样），具体说明了主人训练阿波罗的方式，呼应前文“努力训练”和后文“尽可能教它”的内容，故选F。
5. 选项C“And Apollo's owners want to keep teaching the bird.”（而且阿波罗的主人想继续教这只鸟），引出后文主人“想探索它的学习潜力、破更多纪录”的想法，衔接紧密，故选C。

Passage 6(2024·南通市启东期末)
Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit, and you keep all of them in the air. 1 If you drop it, it will bounce back(反弹).
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. 2 They will never be the same as they are before. So you must understand that and try to have balance in your life. 3
Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different from each other and each of us is special.
4 Only you know what is the best to yourself.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
5 Be brave!
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
A. Don't be afraid of difficulties.
B. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.
C. Here are some suggestions (建议) for you.
D. Don't let other people make choices(选择) for you.
E. Don't use time or words carelessly.
F. If you drop one of these, they will be broken.

【分析】
这是一道英语七选五题型，解题思路是先通读全文，把握文章核心主旨——将人生比作五个不同材质的球，进而引出平衡生活的建议。然后逐个分析空格前后的语境，通过指代关系、语义呼应、逻辑衔接来匹配选项：
1. 第一个空格后提到掉落会反弹，结合常识可知橡胶球有反弹特性，要找引出“工作是橡胶球”的选项；
2. 第二个空格前提到四个球是玻璃做的，玻璃易碎，要找对应玻璃球掉落结果的选项；
3. 第三个空格前提出要平衡生活，后面开始罗列具体建议，需要一个承上启下引出建议的过渡句；
4. 第四个空格后强调只有自己知道什么对自己最好，对应不要让别人替自己做选择的内容；
5. 第五个空格后是“Be brave!”，要找与之语义呼应、鼓励勇敢面对困难的选项。
【解析】
1. 空后句子“If you drop it, it will bounce back(反弹)”中，it指代前文提到的某个球，橡胶球具备掉落反弹的特性，B选项“You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.”明确指出工作是橡胶球，与后文内容衔接紧密，故选B。
2. 前文说明family, health, friends and spirit这四个球是玻璃材质，玻璃制品掉落易破碎，F选项“If you drop one of these, they will be broken.”符合玻璃球的特性，且后文“They will never be the same as they are before.”是玻璃破碎后的结果，逻辑连贯，故选F。
3. 前文提出要平衡生活的观点，后文开始罗列具体的建议内容，C选项“Here are some suggestions (建议) for you.”起到承上启下的过渡作用，自然引出下文的建议，故选C。
4. 空后“Only you know what is the best to yourself.”表明只有自己才清楚适合自己的选择，D选项“Don't let other people make choices(选择) for you.”与后文内容呼应，强调自主选择的重要性，故选D。
5. 空后“Be brave!”是鼓励勇敢的话语，A选项“Don't be afraid of difficulties.”表达不要惧怕困难，与“Be brave!”语义一致，形成呼应，故选A。
