And the first visitors arrive. “Within 5 to 15 minutes of death, flies or

11、 other insects begin to colonize the body.” says Rabi Musah, an organic chemist at the University at Albany.She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition. “So because of that, depending upon what entomological(昆虫学的) evidence you find, you can learn something about when the

12、person died in terms of the timing of the death.”Flies dont tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives. But they do leave behind eggs. The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone, so specialists raise them until they hatch, a few weeks laterand they get a species ID and, with a little

13、 guesswork, a persons time of death. But Musah has come up with a more time-saving approach: chemical analysis of the eggs. She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig-liver traps hidden throughout New York City. They collected the trapped flies and then chemically a

14、nalyzed their eggs. And it turns out each species of fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprintenough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity. The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry.Musah and her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case. “And o

15、nce we do that we will be publishing some case studies to illustrate(阐明) that this is a method that can be used, and hopefully eventually its something that will stand up in court, and something that could speed up detective workor help deal with a cold case.”1、Which of the following can best replac

16、e the underlined word “colonize” in paragraph 1?Alook forBfight overCcarry awayDgather on2、How can a specialist know a persons time of death?ABy researching the habitual nature of flies.BBy relying on the entomological evidence.CBy distinguishing the appearance of flies.DBy discovering a new detecti

S.based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic, Society commissioned an online

19、survey earlier this year. They wanted to know what young people educated in American colleges knew about geography, U. S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 3 years. All of them presently attending, or ha

20、ving previously graduated from, a 2-or 4-year college or university.The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U. S. government that can declare war is Congress.

21、Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the internet. They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia which swamp the web. Forty-three

22、percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could

23、have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majo

24、rity of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.Haass says these findings suggest the need to find was to get good information to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to h

25、elp build knowledge about global issues.1、What can we learn about the survey?AAll the participants were recent university graduatesBIt was an online survey conducted by two US universitiesCIts aim is to figure out what the young people know about AmericaDIt was given to over 1,200 American people ag

26、ed from 18 to 32、Whats one reason survey organizers give for young peoples lack of knowledge?AYoung people are unwilling to travel abroadBThe sources from which they get their informationCThe US university system is of poor qualityDTheir lack of interest in knowing more about the world3、According to

27、 the survey, what topic did the young Americans understand best?AEnvironmental matters BGeographic informationCForeign relations DGovernment organizations4、In which column of a newspaper could we find this article?AEconomics BEntertainmentCPolitics DEducation23（8分）Researchers say they have developed

28、 technology that could predict heart attacks years before they happen. They report using mathematical systems to examine CT images of a patients heart. A CT scan uses X-rays and a computer to make detailed pictures of bones, organs and other tissue inside the body.The new method was developed by res

29、earchers at the University of Oxford in England. A report on their study was published in the medical journal The Lancet. Also taking part in the study were teams from Germany and the US.Most heart attacks result from a build-up of fatty tissue inside arteries（动脉）that carry blood from the heart to o

30、ther areas of the body, thus blocking this flow of blood and causing a heart attack.Currently, doctors use CT scans to learn when a sticky substance called plaque has already built up inside an artery. The new technology is designed to predict which arteries are at risk for future buildup.The resear

31、chers reported using computers to examine CT scans to measure how much fat is present around heart arteries. That fat changes when an artery becomes affected, serving as an early warning system for heart attacks.Charalambos, a professor at Oxford University, said he believes the research shows this

32、method could be very effective in getting patients to take early steps to prevent future problems, adding that researchers had yet to estimate exactly how many heart attacks could be prevented. But he said he believes the technique could help identify between 20 to 30 percent of people at risk of ha

33、ving one.He added that the new technology will make such predictions easier because it works together with existing CT technology. The research was based on two large, independent studies of 4,000 patients in Germany, and the US. A company with ties to Oxford University is developing a service to ex

34、amine CT scans of patients around the world, Reuters reported.1、Whats the aim of the new technology?ATo predict ways to block fatty issues in heart arteries.BTo provide detailed pictures of how arteries work.CTo build computer models of the image of a heart.DTo decide which arteries are likely to ha

35、ve fat built up.2、When does a heart attack generally happen according to the text?AWhen the CT scan affects the flow of blood in the heart.BWhen fat around heart arteries blocks the flow of blood.CWhen a sticky material flows into an artery near the heart.DWhen bones and organs of the body begin to

36、be weak.3、What is an early warning for heart attacks?AA change of fat happening around heart arteries.BThe finding of a sticky material in the blood.CThe presence of fat around the bones and organs.DThe aging and failure of arteries near the heart.4、Whats the main idea of the text?AThe harm of fat b

37、uild-up to heart arteries.BThe use of CT scans to prevent of heart attacks.CResearch into the early warning of heart attacks.DThe warning the body gives about heart attacks.24（8分）As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods. “The woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpo

38、se, and excuse. If I went to a friends house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, hes out in the woods,” with a tone (语气) of airy acceptance. Its similar to the tone people sometimes use now a days to tell me that someone Im looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “

39、away from his desk”. For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for awhile.We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring (探索). Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly

40、 about explorers. Our explorations, though seemed to have less system than the historic kind something usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial mound.Often we got “l

41、ost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical; the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that w

42、e visited regularly-tall beeches easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence (青春期). In March, the month when we usually took to the

43、 woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.1、The

45、ration should be a systematic activity.DThe author explored in the woods aimlessly3、The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .Acalm BdoubtfulCserious Doptimistic4、The reason why we visited the four or five trees regularly is the following except that .Athey were tall b

47、 cm long, with a bushy tale about the same length as the body. The dark brown fur is long and woolly, giving the animal a rather shaggy(蓬松的) appearance. They are found only on Madagascar, an island off the coast of Africa. It lives in the tropical forests in the east and north of Madagascar.The aye-

48、aye is mostly arboreal(栖息在树上的), but is sometimes seen walking on the ground. Its active during the night, looking around in the trees for food. The aye-aye is actually the largest primate(灵长类动物) active during the night. Large eyes help the aye-aye find its way about at night. During the day, the aye

49、-aye sleeps in a nest in a tree. Aye-ayes spend almost the whole night travelling about and feeding.Aye-ayes live alone. Sometimes pairs are seen, but basically little is about their lives.

After yea

56、rs of regular treatment, she 2 became healthy.Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little headto be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 3 out local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 4 it. The team practice, 5 was a rough start. She coughed and c

57、hoked and could hardly 6 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 7 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 8 to go! I told her she shouldnt swim after a whole nights coughing, but she refused to 9 and insisted she go .From tha
