important第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。ain recent years, the number of black bears in the us has risen. forests once cleared for farming have started to grow back and black bears have returned to them. but the bears are finding that their forest habitat has changed. instead of thick forests covering thousands of acres, bears now have neighbors nearby. roads, homes, schools, and shopping centers have been built at the edge of their forest home. and with humans and bears trying to share the same space, problems occur.black bears usually prefer to avoid people, but their nose may lead them into trouble. their normal diet consists of nuts, insects, and plants. but given the opportunity, they will gladly help themselves to whatever is available.with the great sense of smell, the bears can sniff out a tasty treat 2 or 3 miles away. food left out in a park or backyard is an invitation to dinner. and while raiding (劫掠) a cooler, bird feeder, trash can, car, or even a home, they can do a lot of damage. when that happens, people get angry. if another solution doesnt immediately appear, they often want the bears killed.bear aware, bear wise, and bear smart are trying to keep that from happening. they want people to respect bears, not fear them, and are suggesting ways to reduce the chances of bears stopping by for a snack. theyre convincing people that by following some simple steps, its possible to live peacefully with our wild neighbors.56. more black bears have appeared in the us because_. a. forests have increased in the us b. farmers have grown more food c. people stopped killing black bears d. roads were built nearer to the forests57. we learn from the text that black bears _. a. hate insects in forests b. eat different foods c. usually live in big groups d. like to share space with humans58. the underlined words “sniff out” in paragraph 3 probably means “_”. a. to express a low opinionb. to find something by chance c. to discover something by its smelld. to refuse something in a proud way59. what is bear wise? a. an organization that protects bears.b. a special name for black bears. c. a kind of food for bears.d. a place in the us.bflying cars are not just science fiction (科学幻想) any more. a massachusetts company has announced that its prototype (原型) flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. the vehicle, which is called the transition, has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. last month, it flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes. however, normal jets fly at 35,000 feet.around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit (定金) to get a transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after the transition is introduced to the public later. but dont expect it to show up in too many driveways. its expected to cost $279.000. and it wont help if youre stuck in traffic. the car needs a runway.the government has already permitted the company to use special tires and glass that are lighter than normal automotive (机动的) ones, to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. the government has also freed the transition from the requirement to equip vehicles with electronic stability control, which would add about six pounds to the vehicle. the transition is currently going through a group of automotive crash tests to make sure it meets safety standards.“the transition can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air,” one spokesman said. it flies using a 23-gallon tank of automotive fuel and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. on the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.60. we can learn from the passage that the flying car _.a. can fly higher than normal jetsb. will burn new energy instead of petrolc. can hold more people than normal jetsd. will fold its wings when running on the road 61. what will happen if the flying car is stuck in traffic?a. the car will soon take off. b. the driver will fold up the car.c. the driver will change its route. d. the car will be unable to move.62. why does the transition need to go through the crash tests?a. to test its speed.b. to test its safety.c. to test its tires.d. to test its glass.63. what is the main purpose of this passage?a. to advertise the newest flying car.b. to cause a discussion of flying cars.c. to report the news about a flying car.d. to show how a flying car is made.cfor decades, the popular wisdom in education was that high self-respect would lead to high achievement. the theory led to too many daily praisesbut few, if any, academic gains. now, an increasing number of teachers are giving up what some call “empty praise”. drawing on psychology and brain research, educators aim to express a more accurate and scientific vocabulary for praise that will push children to work through mistakes and take on more challenging assignments.to get students through the shaky first steps of spanish grammar, teacher shar hellie spent many years trying to improve their confidence. if someone couldnt answer a question easily, she would help him, whisper the first few words, and then follow up with a “good!” but on a january morning at rocky hill middle school in clarksburg, the smiling grandmother gave nothing away. one seventh-grade boy returned to the overhead projector three times to rewrite a sentence, hesitating each time, while his classmates waited in silence. “you like that?” hellie asked when he settled on an answer. he nodded. finally, she smiled and praised the progress he was making. “you have a whole different set of neurons (神经元) storming up there!” she told him.a growing body of research over three decades shows that easy, unearned praise does not help students but interferes with (妨碍) great learning opportunities instead. as school raise up academic standards for all students, new expressions are “persistence (坚持)”, “risk-taking” and “well-adjusted”. “we used to think we could hand children self-respect easily,” stanford university psychologist carol dweck said. “that has backfired (事与愿违).” dwecks studies have found that praising children for intelligence “youre so clever!” also backfires. in study after study, children rewarded for being smart become more likely to shy away from hard assignments that might hurt their star reputations(名声).64. we can learn from the first paragraph that the popular theory _. a. would cause empty praiseb. can help students succeed c. contributes to expressing more exact praisesd. has a positive effect on development of students.65. the underlined phrase “unearned praise” in the third paragraph refers to_. a. praise that is not worth earningb. praise that one doesnt want to earn c. praise that one hasnt earnedd. praise that one receives but doesnt earn by working hard66. which of the following expressions does not belong to accurate and scientific vocabulary for praise? a. persistence b. good c. risk-taking d. well-adjusted67. according to carol dweck, praising students for intelligence _. a. may make them feel shyer b. may help them to get cleverer c. can hand them self-respect easily d. can make them tend to avoid challenging tasksdpassenger ships, trade ships, and fishing boats are a normal part of life on the open sea. however, all their activity creates a great deal of noise underwater. scientists from the united states and canada recently reported their observations that the ocean is getting noisier.they say it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. the noise could make it more difficult for orcas (逆戟鲸) to find food. the orcas find fish by producing clicking sounds and other noises. loud engine noise could be interfering with(干扰) their efforts.michael jasny is a policy expert for the natural resources defense council. he says it is not just whales he is worried about. “the entire web of life in the oceans depends on sound. its very clear that what we have on our hands is really a major problem. its a serious problem. its a global problem. fortunately, in shipping we have a problem that has a solution,” jasny added.one answer is to design quieter ships. americas national oceanic and atmospheric administration, or noaa, has four new ships made to be quieter. noaas ships have costly engines, which produce less noise. the technology to make quieter ships does exist and has been used in the military for some time.the shipping industry in the united states wants to be part of the answer to the noise problem. kathy metcalf works for the chamber of shipping of america. she says it will be much less costly for the industry if it chooses to build quieter ships. since the shipping industry expects better ship designs to result in fuel savings, this could make the changeover (彻底改变) in design more popular.68. according to the passage, noisy ships make whales _. a. have trouble in communication b. change their food choices c. become more likely to start attacks d. drop sharply in number 69. michael jasnys words show that . a. he doesnt worry about whales b. he calls for a limit on the fishing industry c. he is concerned about all sea life d. he has a website focusing on the problem70. what can we learn about noaa? a. it mainly serves the military. b. it is the first to design quieter ships c. it own
