A

The Amazing Penguin Rescue

In the summer of 2016, the ship MV Treasure sunk, creating an oil spill. Thirteen hundred tons of fuel oil were flowing right in the middle of the African Penguins’ habitat. Soon the oil covered about 20,000 penguins. Without swift help, the seabirds would have no chance of survival. Volunteers were showing up by the thousands and I also took part in what was the largest animal rescue operation ever.

A warehouse was turned into a rescue center near the habitat and hundreds of pools were built to hold about 100 oiled birds each. When walking into the center, I couldn’t believe my ears. I had expected to walk into a chorus of honking and squawking(尖声叫). Instead, the center sounded like a library. The penguins were dead silent. My heart ached for the painful birds. Cleaning them all seemed like an impossible task. But we had to carry on like doctors in an emergency room. There was no time for doubt. Cleaning oil off a penguin wasn’t easy. Even with more than 12,500 volunteers, it took a month to bathe all 20,000 birds at the center.

While volunteers were busy bathing the oiled penguins, another crisis(危机) was developing. Oil from the spill had started moving north. Tens of thousands of penguins were in the oil’s path. But we already had our hands full with 20,000 recovering birds. If any more birds were oiled, we wouldn’t have enough resources to save them.

One researcher came up with an idea: What if the penguins were temporarily moved out of harm’s way? Experts decided to have a try. Volunteers rounded up the penguins and released them 500 miles away. The hope was that by the time the seabirds swam home, the oil would be gone. The plan worked! Another 20,000 penguins were saved.

The entire penguin rescue took about three months. More than 90% of the oiled penguins were successfully returned to the wild. Looking back on the rescue, I am still amazed by the work of the volunteers. What I could hardly believe was that we accomplished an impossible task.

51. The African penguins were in danger because of _________.

A. a knock by a ship B. a change of habitats

C. a spill of oil D. a lack of help

52. When walking into the rescue center, the author felt _________.

A. ambitious B. shocked C. hopeless D. inspired

53. The crisis was ended by _________.

A. moving the penguins from home B. cleaning the polluted habitat

C. asking more volunteers to help D. stopping the flow of the oil

54. The author mainly intends to tell us that ________.

A. we should unite to make the earth pollution-free

B. where there is a will there is a way

C. the future of wildlife is in our hands

D. many hands make great work

B

pine cone

In the past many studies placed too much emphasis on how animals are trained to learn. But recently more and more studies have focused on how animals equip themselves to learn.

One study started with a school field trip to a pine forest where many pine cones were discovered, stripped(剥壳) to the central core. So the investigation was directed at finding out what was eating the pine seeds and how they managed to get them out of the cones. The culprit proved to be the black rat, and the technique was to bite each cone from base to top, following the growth pattern of the cone.

Urban black rats were found to lack the skill. However, babies of urban mothers cross-fostered by stripper mothers acquired the skill, whereas babies of stripper mothers fostered by an urban mother could not. Clearly the skill had to be learned from the mother. In the case of rats, the youngsters take cones away from the mother when she is still eating them, allowing them to acquire the stripping skill.

Another study, Bird Behaviour, provides a different view of the adaptiveness of social learning. It concerns the seed caching(hiding) behaviour of Clark’s Nutcracker and the Mexican Jay. The former is a specialist, caching about 30,000 seeds in scattered locations that it will recover over the months of winter; the Mexican Jay will also cache food but is much less dependent on this than the Nutcracker. The two species also differ in their social structure: the Nutcracker prefers living alone while, the Jay, in social groups.

The experiment is to discover if a bird can remember where it hid a seed but also if it can remember where it saw another bird hide a seed. The design is funny with a cacher bird hiding food in a room, while watched by a caged observer bird. Two days later, cachers and observers are tested for their discovery rate against estimated random performance(预估随机表现). Both cachers performed above chance. More surprisingly, jay observers were as successful as jay cachers, whereas nutcracker observers did no better than chance. It seems that, whereas the Nutcracker is highly skilled at remembering where it hid its own seeds, the social living Mexican Jay is more adept at remembering, and so making use of, the caches of others.

55. Urban black rats were able to learn to strip when ____.

A. living with stripper babies B. fostered by urban mothers

C. fed by stripper mothers D. eating cones by themselves

56. In Bird Behavior Study, we can conclude that ____.

A. the Mexican Jay benefits from social living

B. the Clark’s Nutcraker has better learning skills

C. Nutcraker observers perform well in remembering

D. Jay cachers are only good at hiding food

57. According to the passage, both studies show that ____.

A. skills are equipped in childhood B. skills improve by practice

C. animals study through playing D. animals learn by examples

C

Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.

In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.

In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.

In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.

Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.

Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and stories, and know that they are cheering on.

58. Imitation proves useful when you ____.

A. know you are unique B. begin to learn something new

C. lose the balance of life D. get tired of routine practice

59. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are ______ .

A. desperate to influence others with their knowledge

B. eager to discover what their ancestors did

C. ready to turn their original ideas into reality

D. willing to accept others’ ideas

60. The trouble a creator faces is ____ .

A. how to use imagination creatively B. the absence of practical ideas

C. how to search for more materials D. the lack of strong motivation

61. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To explain the meaning of success.

B. To criticize the characters of role models.

C. To compare imitation with creation.

D. To highlight the importance of creativity.

第二节:根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

The iPod Generation

Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. __62____ Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”?

For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. __63____ What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says: “I’m not available for chatting at the moment.”

Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough, but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. __64____ Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.

__65____ It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile, and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved.

Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears—-but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We’ll be in a virtual world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in. __66____ And they are changing our social habits along the way.

In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange-suddenly, I don’t feel like wearing my earphones anymore.

A. Our instruments are changing quickly.

B. I also have wires hanging from my ears.

C. Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.

D. They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems. “

E. After all, I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.

F. In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.

G. I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment.

Possible version:

Dear sir,

I’m writing to complain about one of my roommates for his behaviors.

First of all, he is not a tidy person and always makes the dormitory in a mess. Secondly, addicted to computer games, he often plays until midnight, and it seriously affects my sleep. Thirdly, his friends are constantly visiting him, which almost drives me mad because they always make loud noise.

I really hope you can look into these matters and deal with them as quickly as possible. I would be grateful if you could allow me to move into a new room.

Thank you for your consideration.

I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours Sincerely,

Li Hua
