thy小的时候，他的父亲晚上大部分时间都在编织。Umapathy会观察父亲，最终对颜色、设计和编织艺术产生了兴趣。由此可知,Umapathy小时候常常看父亲编织26.B。理解具体信息。根据第四段中的Mostofthestudentsatmyschoolweren'tabletoaffordthematerialsorequipmenttocreatecraftworkIdecidedtooptfornaturalmaterials,whichareavailableforfree.可知Umapathy的大多数学生都买不起制作工艺品的材料或工具。于是他决定选择天医材料,因为这类材料是免费的。27.A。理解具体信息。根据最后一段的内容可知，Umapathy还帮助了一些贫困家庭的学生，满足了他们的经济和教育需求。在Umapathy的帮助下，学生们将自己的收入存起来用于学业。有几名学生用这笔钱继续学习美术。其中一名学生就是Tamilselvan，他从艺术专业毕业并成为了一名美术教师。由此可知tmapathy的做法帮助Tamilselvan赚到了继续学习的钱CTomanypeople,honeybeessymbolizeprosperity(兴旺)sustainabilityandenvironmentalism.Butasahoneybeeresearcher,Ihavetotellyouthatonlythefirstitemonthatlistisdefensible.Althoughtheyareimportantforagriculture,honeybeesalsodestabilizenaturalecosystemsbycompetingwithnativebees--someofwhicharespeciesatrisk.Theriseinhobbybeekeeping,nowatrendyactivityforhundredsofthousandsofAmericans,followedstrongawarenesscampaignsto“savethebees.”Butasaspecies,honeybeesareleastinneedofsaving.SheilaColla,aconservationbiologist,says,"Peoplemistakenlythinkhelpinghoneybeesissomehowhelpingnativebees.Theyhaveasurprisinglypoorunderstandingofthediversityofpollinators(传粉者)andtheirrolesinpollination."Therearemillionsofhoneybeecolonies(#)inNorthAmerica.Around30,000beespercolony,that'sroughlyabillionhoneybeesinCanadaandtheU.S.alone.Hugenumbersofhoneybeecoloniesincreasecompetitionbetweennativepollinators,puttingevenmorepressureonthewildspeciesthatarealreadyindecline.Honeybeesareextremegeneralistforagers(觅食者)leadingtoexploitativecompetition-thatis,whereonespeciesusesuparesource,notleavingenoughtogoaround.AlfredoValidoandPedroJordano,researchersfromtheSpanishNationalResearchCouncil,usedtheCanaryIslandstostudyhowhoneybeesaffectthenativepollinatingcommunity.Inthehighlandsoftheislands’TeideNationalPark,thousandsofhoneybeecoloniesareintroducedseasonallyforhoneyproductionandremovedagainattheendoftheflowerseason,creatinganexcellentconditionforexperimentation.Theirresultsdonotmakehoneybeeslooklikethesustainabilitycelebritiestheyhave.become.Bringinginhoneybeesreducedtheconnectednessoftheplant-pollinatornetworks.Besides,theresilience(恢复力)oftheecosystemhasalsodeclined.Iusedtobelievethathoneybeeswereagatewayspecies,andthatconcernovertheirhealthandprosperitywouldspreadtonativebees,benefittingthem,too.However,evidenceshowsthatmisguidedenthusiasmforhoneybeeshaslikelybeenthenativebees’disaster.28Howdoestheauthorfeelabouttheriseinhobbybeekeeping?A.Confused.B.Concerned.C.Surprised.D.Pleased.29Howarenativepollinatorsaffectedbyintroducedhoneybees?A.Theyhavetroublefindingfood.B.Theybecomegeneralistforagers.C.Theygetprotectedashoneybees.D.Theyfailtoformtheirowncolonies.30.WhatdidtheexperimentontheCanaryIslandsshowconcerninghoneybees?A.TheyfittedintothenativepollinatingcommunityB.Theyimprovedthesustainabilityoftheislands.C.Theyslowedtherecoveryoftheecosystem.D.Theyshortenedtheflowerseason.31.Whatcanbethebesttitleforthetext?A.Thethreattohoneybees.B.TheproblemwithhoneybeesC.Savethebees,savetheplanetD.Focusonhoneybees,notnativebees主题语境:人与自然一一自然生态本文是说明文。美国人的养蜂爱好可能会给本土蜜蜂带来危害。B。理解观点、态度，根据第二段中的Theriseinhobbybeekeeping...honeybeesareleastinneedofsaving可知，“教案蜂”运动掀起养蜂热潮,但作为一个物种，蜜蜂其实是最不需要拯教的。结合下文SheilaColla所说的话可知，作者对于养蜂的兴起很担忧。A。推断。根据第三段的内容可知，大量的蜂使得本土传粉者之间竞争更为测烈，给数量本就在减少的野生物种带来了更大的压力。霏蜂是非常多面的觅食者大量的蜂群会导致剥削性竞争一一也就是说，一个物种用尽一种资源，没有给其他物种留下足够的资源。由此可知，大量的蜂群会采尽花蛮和花粉，使本土授粉者找不到食物。C。理解具体信息。文章倒数第二段介绍了在CanaryIslands进行的试验。根据本段最后一句可知，该试验表明引入蜜蜂导致这些岛屿生态系统的恢复力下降。31.B。理解主旨要义。本文主要介绍了引入蜜蜂给本土蜜蜂带来的危害，其中的lhavetotellyouthatonlythefirstitemonthatlistisdefensible.Honeybeesareextremegeneralistforagers,leadingtoexploitativecompetition.Theirresultsdon’tmakehoneybeeslooklikethesustainabilitycelebritiestheyhavebecomemisguidedenthusiasmforhoneybeeshaslikelybeenthenativebees’disaster等均在强调这种危害,故B项作标题最为恰当。DThebusiestchokepointfortraintrafficinNorthAmericaishereinChicago.1,300trainsaday-one-quarterofallrailtrafficintheU.S.movethroughthiscity,includingsixofthesevenbiggestrailroadsinthecountry.Almostanythingtravelingfromcoasttocoastcomesthroughhere,wheretraintraffichasbecomesotangled(缠结的)thatoldrailroadhandsliketojokeittakestrainsthreedaystogetfromLosAngelestoChicago,andthreemoretogetthroughChicago.Themassivetrafficjamismadeworsebythefactthattheregion'sbusycommuter(通勒者)railsystemsmustcompeteforlimitedtrackspacewiththenation'slargestfreight(货运)lines.Chicagooperates750MetratrainsadaythattransporthundredsofthousandsofpassengerstoandfromthecityalongsidedozensofAmtraktrainscarryingthousandsmore.Anagreementreachedbetweenthecityandtherailroadsgivescommutertrainstherightofwayduringthemorningandeveningrushhour.Thecity'straintrafficisalsoanannoyanceforresidents.RussellBartmes.wholivesonthenorthsideofChicago,saysoneofthemostcongestedpointsheseesisinnearbySchaumburg,wherecarscansitfor10minutestolettrainspass.“Thatshouldn'thappen,"Bartmessays."It'sreallyasituationthatcriesoutforsomedollars.”Amajorfixisalreadyunderway.Anongoingproject--ChicagoRegionEnvironmentalandTransportationEfficiency(CREATE)Program一isdesignedtountiethetrainlinesandallowtherailnetworktooperate
