National Zoo,Paris for 11 years.Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs thathave ever been born here.Globally,a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos dont make it to adulthood,so I decided togive them round-the-clock care at home.Ive got two childrenthe younger one,Kynan,was extremely happy about the tigers arriving-but all of usreally looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow.I wasnt worried about bringing theminto my home with my wife and kids.These were cubs.They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that therewas absolutely no risk.As they grew more mobile,we let them move freely around the house during the day,but when we wereasleep we had to contain them in a large room,otherwise theyd get up to mischief.Wed come down in themorning to find theyd turned the room upside down,and left it looking like a zoo.Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them.There weresome tough times and I just felt extremely tired.I was grateful that my family was there to help.We had to have abit of a production line going,making up“tiger milk”,washing baby bottles,and cleaning the floors.When Spot and Stripe were four months old,they were learning how to open doors and jump fences,and weknew it really was time for them to go.It was hard for us to finally part with them.For the first few days,Kynanwas always a bit disappointed that the cubs werent there.Im not sad about it.Im hands-on with them every day at the zoo,and I do look back very fondly on the timethat we had them.4.Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home?A.To ensure their survival.B.To observe their differences.C.To teach them life skills.D.To let them play with his kids.5.What do the underlined words“get up to mischief”mean in paragraph 3?A.Behave badly.B.Lose their way.C.Sleep soundly.D.Miss their mom.6.What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home?A.Boring.B.Tiring.C.Costly.D.Risky.7.Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo?A.They frightened the children.B.They became difficult to contain.C.They annoyed the neighbours.D.They started fighting each other.CWho is a genius?This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Lets state clearly:Einstein was a genius.His face is almost the international symbol for genius.But we wantto go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that some people are so much moreintelligent or creative than the rest of us?And who are they?In the sciences and arts,those praised as geniuses were most often white men,of European origin.Perhapsthis is not a surprise.Its said that history is written by the victors,and those victors set the standards foradmission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the clubwomen,or people ofa different color or beliefthey were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six,girls are less likely than boys to say thatmembers of their gender(性别)are“really,really smart.”Even worse,the study found that girls act on that belief:Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are“really,really smart.”Can our planetafford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up?It doesnt take a genius to know the answer:absolutely not.Heres the good news.In a wired world with constant global communication,were all positioned to seeflashes of genius wherever they appear.And the more we look,the more we will see that social factors(因素)likegender,race,and class do not determine the appearance of genius.As a writer says,future geniuses come fromthose with“intelligence,creativity,perseverance(毅力),and simple good fortune,who are able to change theworld.”8.What does the author think of victors standards for joining the genius club?A.Theyre unfair.B.Theyre conservative.C.Theyre objective.D.Theyre strict.9.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?A.They think themselves smart.B.They look up to great thinkers.C.They see gender differences earlier than boys.D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs10.Why are more geniuses known to the public?A.Improved global communication.B.Less discrimination against women.C.Acceptance of victors concepts.D.Changes in peoples social positions.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Geniuses Think AlikeB.Genius Takes Many FormsC.Genius and IntelligenceD.Genius and LuckDBatman may not have any superpowers,but his inspiration certainly does.More than 1,400 bat species live around the world,except in Antarctica and a few remote islands.Over their50 million years of evolution,bats have developed clever solutions to lifes challenges,from a built-in sonar(声呐)system for finding food to fast,flexible wings that produce the fastest level-flight speed of any animal on Earth.“There is still a lot to learn,but it is clear that bats really do have superpowers,”says Rodrigo Medelln,anecologist.“Bats are showing us how to live a better life,for instance,by serving as models for healthy living andlong lives.”As a general rule in biology,smaller animals have shorter lives than larger ones.But bats are rule breakers:theyre the longest-lived mammals(哺乳动物)relative to their body size.Recently,scientists looked inside batscells for the secrets to their exceptionally long lives.They focused on telomeres(端粒),which are the protectivestructures found at the ends of chromosomes(染色体).In most animals,telomeres tend to get shorter with age.But the telomeres of the longest-lived group of bats,Myotis,do not appear to shrink(收缩)with age.Understanding why bats live so long may help humans live longer one day.In addition to living longer,bats remain healthy throughout their lives,with very low risk of developing cancer.Furthermore,bats can carry deadly viruses without getting sick.So further research into their unique immune(免疫的)systems may actually give insight into how people can live with viruses and not get sick.Beyond their own abilities,bats also support many other parts of their ecosystems.Three out of every fourbat species eat insects.Many are pests that cause damage to important agricultural crops,such as cotton.Scientists estimate that insect-eating bats may save U.S.farmers about 1 billion per year.In addition,many batspecies help improve plant health and diversity.“Bats are unsung heroes of biodiversity,”says Medelln.“Its about time we appreciated them.”12.What can be learned about bats from the text?A.They fly the fastest of all land animals.B.They are at low risk of falling sick with a virus.C.They live mainly on the islands of Antarctica.D.They are the longest-lived animals given their size.13.What did scientists recently find?A.Animals telomeres rarely shrink with age.B.Myotiss telomeres do not shorten as they age.C.Smaller animals usually live shorter lives than larger ones.D.More research into bat telomeres could help people live more healthily.14.What is the authors intention in writing the last paragraph but one?A.To show what bats feed on.B.To call on people to protect bats.C.To explain how bats benefit the farmers.D.To highlight the importance of bats to the ecosystem.15.What would be a suitable title for this text?A.Bats Offer Clues to Treating DiseasesB.How Bats Deal with Lifes ChallengesC.Scientists Unlock the Secrets to Long LivesD.Why Bats Are Superheroes of the Animal World第二节第二节(共共 5 小题小题;每小题每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5
