Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives(蜂窝) —either recorded or real —may even prevent elephants from

damaging farmer's crops.

In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.

Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a close to each family.

From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.

Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.

60. We know from the passage that elephants may he frightened of .

A. loud noises B. some crops C. video cameras D. angry bees

.

A. works by herself in Africa

B. needs to test more elephant groups

C. has stopped elephants eating crops

D. has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms

A. To record the sound of bees.

B. To make a video of elephants.

C. To see if elephants would run away.

D. To find out more about the behavior of bees.

63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Young elephants ignore African honeybees.

B. Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.

C. Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.

D. Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.

【文章大意】本文介绍了一项有趣的科学实验，科学家通过大量实验来验证小小蜜蜂能否有效阻止庞然大物非洲大象损坏农作物。

60. 选D 。细节理解题。根据第三、四段Lucy 所做的实验可知大象可能会被生气的蜜蜂吓跑。

61. 选B 。推理判断题。根据最后一段可知Lucy 现在正在研究是否大象在听到几次生气的蜜蜂发出的声音后还会被继续吓跑，她还没有将这一现象在足够多的大象群体中检验，由此可以推断她还需做足够多的检验。

62. 选A 。细节理解题。根据第三段可知Lucy 在一棵树上找到了一个蜂窝，并且安装了一个

录音机，他扔石头的目的是想惹蜜蜂生气，然后发出声音，从而录制其声音，第四段开头也提到了她录制好的声音，故选A 。

You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible(有形的)things such as cats, photos and noisy toys. There are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The Museum Of”—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent.

Some of the collections are fairly common —records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful —branches that have fallen from tree, for example. But they all reveal(显露)a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.

Other on the way include “The museum of Collectors” and “The Museum of Me.”These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of “The Museum Of.” The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.

Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important point: the beginning or end of adolescence—“it’s a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up, ”says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship. For time and life can seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial(顺序排列的)arrangement is comforting.

64. How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums?

A. By collecting more tangible things.

B. By showing what ordinary people have collected.

C. By correcting what museums normally represent.

D. By accumulating 40 collections two years from now.

65. What can be learned about collectors from their collections?

A. Who they are.

B. How old they are.

C.Where they were born.

D. Why they might not mean to collect.

66. Which of the following is an aim of the new museums?

A. To help people sell their collections.

B. To encourage more people to collect.

C. To study the significance of collecting.

D. To find out why people visit museums.

.

A. become adults

B. feel happy with life

C. are ready for a relationship

D. feel time to he uncontrollable

【文章大意】人们喜欢收藏，从而建立了新博物馆。

64. 选B 。细节理解题。根据第二段可知新博物馆是通过展示普通人已经收集的东西促进博物馆受欢迎的文化的，故选B 。

65. 选A 。细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句But they all reveal a lot of things:ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.可知本体答案为A 。

66. 选C 。细节理解题。根据第四段The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so.可知新博物馆的目的就是想知道为什么人们要搜集，这样做有什么意义，故答案为C 。

67. 选A 。细节理解题。根据最后一段Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important points: the beginning or end of adolescence —“it’s a growing -up thing, you stop when you grow up.”可知当人们变成成年人的时候可能会停止收集，故选A 。

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons for example, economic(经济的)reasons-why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?

In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.

Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.

68. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?

A. Some of them are not attractive.

B. Most of them ate too expensive to preserve.

C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.

D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.

69. Which of the following is true according to the author?

A. We should reproduce the same old buildings.

B. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.

C. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.

D. No one understands why people speak against new buildings.

70. By “move things forward ” in the last paragraph , the author probably means“”.

A. Destroy old buildings

B. Put things in a different place

C. Choose new architectural styles

D. Respect people’s feelings for historical buildings

71. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To explain why people dislike change.

B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.

C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.

D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.

【文章大意】本文主要讨论了是否可以在历史地区建立现代化的建筑物问题。

68. 选A 。细节理解题。根据第一段Not all historical buildings are attractive.可知并非所有的历史建筑物都是吸引人的，A 项表示部分否定，符合文意。

69. 选C 。细节理解题。根据第三段It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too.可知新建筑物破坏了他们居住的地区，一些古老的建筑物也已经破坏了他们居住的地区，故选C 。

70. 选C 。细节理解题。根据最后一段可知作者不希望固步自封，老是重复以前的东西，应该学会创新，尝试一些新东西，他反对抄袭以前的建筑样式，选择新鲜、不同的格式，因此作者的意思是选择新的建筑样式。

71. 选D 。主旨大意题。本文第一段第一句就给出了文章的主旨：Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city?下文主要讨论了是否可以在历史地区建立现代化的建筑物的问题，故D 项最能概括本文主旨。

You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years, this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses.

To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising "changemakers" seeking to solve(解决)urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.

Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact It is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city, helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there.

When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets, attracting tats and disease, they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste. So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆粪)this waste. They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical ferntilisers(化肥)which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years. At first, they were refused, but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made, the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14,000.

Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious, practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.

72. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A. Changemakers B. Businessmen

C. Social Conditions D. Rubbish Problem

"

A. the local farmers B. Masqsood and Iftekhar

C. Drayton and his team D. the poor people in Dhaka

A. considers Drayton's concept

B. gets permission from Ashoka

C. tries to improve social conditions

D. is a young, happy and healthy adult

75. The authors attitude towards Ashoka's program can be described as

A. changing B. forgiving C. cautious D. Positive

【文章大意】本文主要介绍了一个致力于帮助人们摆脱贫困、改善社会条件的协会—Ashoka

72. 选A 。主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一个致力于帮助人们摆脱贫困、改善社会条件的协会—Ashoka ，故A 项符合文章主旨，其他三项都是片面的。

73. 选D 。代词指代题。本段主要讲Masqsood 和Iftekhar 研究街道上所有未被收集的垃圾废物，他们发现百分之八十的垃圾都是自然肥料，因此他们教育穷人把这些废弃的东西堆成肥继续使用，起初遭到了穷人的拒绝，但是他们最终说服了穷人，故them 指当地穷人。

74. 选C 。推理判断题。根据第二段In fact, it is many young people’s ambition to s et up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions.可知如果想改善社会条件任何人都能变成一个改变者，故选C 。

75. 选D 。观点态度题。根据最后一段可知作者认为十年后Ashoka 会在社会改变方面取得真正严肃、实用的进步，因此作者对Ashoka 这个协会持积极、肯定的态度。

第一节 任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today. However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate.

Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people .For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over the age of fifty.

Others say it is more popular than we first imagine. Many young people listen to classical music without realizing. It is often used in films and advertisements. For example, a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup. Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it.

Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.

However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practicing. A teenager can write and

make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.

A final point to in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.

So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to

Hi worried,

I’m sorry to know that you’re having such a hard time at the moment. The truth is everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don’t have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say anything you’ll regret. Here are three useful tips.

First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of anger. And third, remain optimistic about your future. Such a positive attitude towards lift can be helpful in lifting your spirits.

I hope you’ll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.

Yours,

Jamie
