What about snakes or spiders? Put those fears aside: because in the

11、 U.S. youre far more likely to be killed or injured by a deer skipping across the road.Deer cause more than 200 humans deaths each year, plus some 29,000 injuries, all because of 1.2 million collisions between vehicles and deer. Most incidents occur in the eastern U.S., where deer prosper without na

12、tural predators like wolves and mountain lions.“Thats the region in the U.S. where deer-vehicle collisions are such a problem, and where it seems like an effective large carnivore reintroduction could make a really big difference.” says wildlife biologist Laura Prugh from University of Washington. S

13、he thinks it would help to reintroduce predators like mountain lions, also known as cougars, pumas or panthers, to parts of their historic range from which theyve been driven out.The researchers say that bringing the predators back to the eastern U.S. would mean 22 percent fewer collisions between c

14、ars and deer over three decades. Each year would see five fewer human deaths, 680 fewer injuries and a savings of some 550 million. Sophie L. Gilbert thinks there are great socioeconomic benefits of large predator restoration through reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions and she says, says, “Cougars h

15、ave shown that they can coexist in short distance with people, with very few conflicts, in a lot of areas out west.”Still, some folks might be understandably nervous about this kind of plan. After all, reintroducing predators doesnt come without risks to pets and to livestock, and very occasionally

16、to people.“Our fear of large predators is so natural and intense that I dont think its possible to just completely clear it with statistics. What I hope is that knowing that there actually can be some measurable benefits might make people a little more supportive and maybe balance that fear a little

17、 bit.” says Laura.Indeed, the statistics show that cougars would prevent five times as many human deaths from deer-related accidents as they would cause by attacks. But itll be a tough sell: the press will cover cougar attacks, but a statistically prevented death does not make the news. Nevertheless

18、, “If people in the west can put up with having mountain lions around, I would hope that New Yorkers would be up for the challenge as well.”1、What is closest in meaning to the underlined word “carnivore” in Paragraph 3?AA cat-like animal.BA dangerous animal.CA meat-eating animal.DA grass-eating anim

With luxury cars, like Bentley, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce, going into the world of SUVs, if you have deep pockets, you will be spoilt for choice. Lamborghini Aventador SVJUsing a new aerodynamic system allows it to

22、 set a car lap record of 6: 44 97 at Nurburgring, one of the longest and most challenging circuits in the world. Plus, carbon fiber can be seen everywhere, which makes the car strong and lightweight. Therere only 900 being built and you11need to cough up $517, 770 to buy one. Aston Martin DBXThe DBX

28、em. Within the first month of their lives, babies responses to the sound of the human voice will be different from their responses to other sorts of hearing stimulation. They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle. At first, the sounds

29、that a baby notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances(讲话，说话). By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling tones. Very soon, these differenc

30、es in adult stress and intonation can influence babies emotional states and behavior. Long before they develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is happy or angry, attempting to begin or end new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of clues such as the rate, volume, a

31、nd melody of adult speech.Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating(夸张) such clues. One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified utterances and nonsense sounds, and

32、 transformed certain sounds into baby talk. Other researchers have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words. They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels(元音) longer, and emphasize certain wor

33、ds.More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds. In other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make those precisely perceptual（知觉的，感性的） recognition that are

34、 necessary if they are to acquire listening language.Babies obviously obtain pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding. For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than th

36、how a six-week-old baby can already tell some language differences2、What can be inferred about the findings described in Paragraph 2?AMothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways.BBabies ignore facial expressions in understanding listening language.CThe mothers were unconsci

BThey enjoy the sound.CThey can remember them easily. DThey focus on the meaning.4、Whats the main id

39、le who single-handedly create something truly significant. Jadav Payeng, a man in his mid-fifties, has changed a sandbar（沙洲）in the middle of a river in Assam, India, into a huge forest. His work of the past 30 years is being recognized by tourists and film-makers, the world over.Mulai, a Jadav is kn

40、own among locals, started work on the land in 19080. A scheme was launched at that time by the social forestry department of the district, involving the planting of trees on only 200 hectares. The project was completed after 5 years and all the laborers left, except Mulai. Dedicated to the forest, h

41、e stayed on and single-handedly looked after the trees, continuing to plant more of them. Eventually, the forest expanded to 550 hectares. This is perhaps the worlds biggest forest in the middle of a river. Mulai says theres potential to extend this even further to 1,000 hectares. Inspired, the depa

42、rtment has planned to launch another plantation program this year.The forest is named “Mulai Kathoni” by the local people, meaning Mulais forest. It is home to several thousands of varieties of trees. Bamboo alone covers about 300 hectares. And its not just the plants, theres wildlife living in ther

43、e too. There are about four tigers, three rhinos and more than a hundred deer, rabbits and apes. There are innumerable varieties of birds who call this place home, as well. A herd of about 100 elephants visit the place every year for six months.Mulai lives in a small hut near the forest, with his wi

44、fe, two sons and a daughter. He makes a living by selling cow and buffalo milk. I suppose people such as Mulai are an inspiration to the entire world. If one man can build a forest, its amazing to think what we can achieve if we work together.1、Why did Mulai stay in Assam after 1983?ATo raise his fa

45、mily. BTo plant more trees.CTo build a home on the sandbar. DTo protect the animals.2、Which words can best describe Mulai according to paragraph 2?AWise, far-sighted.

47、raft typically rely on ailerons (副翼) to help control the way the planes tilt (倾斜) as they fly. However, when the Wright brothers flew the first airplane, Flyer 1, over a century ago, they used no ailerons but wires that pulled and stretched the woodandcanvas wings, to control the plane.“Scientists h

48、ave long sought to develop aircraft that can change their wings during flight, just as birds can. However, most previous attempts have failed because they relied on heavy mechanical control structures within the wings. These structures were also complex and unreliable，” said Neil Gershenfeld, a phys

49、icist and director of the Centre for Bits and Atoms at MIT.The new wing consists of a system of tiny, strong and lightweight modules (组件). The shape of the wing can be changed uniformly along its length using two small motors, which apply a twisting pressure to each wingtip. These wings are covered

50、in “skins” of overlapping strips of flexible material like fish scales. These strips move across each other as the wings change themselves, providing a smooth outer surface, the researchers explained.Wind tunnel tests of these wings showed that they at least matched the aerodynamic (气动) properties o

51、f conventional wings, at about onetenth the weight. “Initial tests using remotely piloted aircraft made with these wings have shown great promise，” said Benjamin Jenett, a graduate student at the Centre for Bits and Atoms at MIT.The new modular structures the scientists developed could be manufactur

52、ed quickly in mass quantities and then installed by teams of small robots. These modular structures also can be disassembled more easily, making repairs simpler.“Still, the first aircraft built using this strategy will not be a passenger jet，” Gershenfeld said. “Instead, the technology will likely f

53、irst be tested on unmanned aircrafts, leading to aircrafts flying for a long time, to help deliver Internet access or medicine to remote villages.”1、Why is the Wright brothers airplane mentioned in the text?ATo show the history of aircrafts.BTo show the development of wings.CTo show the need to impr

54、ove planes.DTo show the structure of conventional planes.2、What makes planes fly like birds when they tilt?ATheir ailerons. BWires and pulleys.CChangeable wings. DMechanical control structures.3、What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?AThe shape of the new wings.BThe purpose of the overlapping strips.CThe

55、working principle of the new wings.DThe result of windtunnel tests of these wings.4、What does the underlined word “disassemble” mean in Paragraph 6?AReplace. BAnalyze.CPut away. DTake apart.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项26（30分）For long, a little boy was

56、 wondering why his deskmate could rank 1st in the class whenever he wanted to, while he himself failed to: he only ranked 21st.At home, he asked his Mom, “Mom, am I more 1 than others? I feel I am obedient and as careful as him, but 2 I always fall behind? ” Hearing the words， Mom was aware that her

57、 son began to 3 the sense of self-respect, which was now being injured by the ranking system. 4 at him, she went wordless, not knowing 5 to explain. In another test, the son ranked 17th, while his deskmate remained 1st. Back home he 6 the same question. Mom really wanted to inform his son that 7 dif

Thank goodness she did not open her mouth.How to answer her sons question? There were times when she felt an urge to say, “You are t

59、oo lazy. You are not as hard-working as others” but she stopped 10 imagining her son suffering from the pains of unsatisfied grades and rankings. She thought it 11 to put any additional burden on his son and was trying to find out a perfect answer.Time passing swiftly, the son 12 primary school. Des

60、pite studying harder and better, he was still unable to keep up with his deskmate. To show her pride of him, Mom decided to 13 him to the sea. During the trip, she managed to give an answer.Now, the son no longer worries about his 14 , and there are no boring guys who would inquire his grades in pri
