showing that horse flies have a difficult time landing on zebras while easily landing on horses of a single color.In one experiment,the researchers put blankets with stripes on horses and saw that fewer flies landed on them.They fly past them or hit them and bounce off,said Tim Caro of the University of California-Davis.He was the lead writer of a report on the study.The report was published in the journal PLOS ONE.Closely related to horses,the worlds three zebra species are known for their black-and-white striped bodies.Zebras are native to Africas savannas,or grasslands.The appearance of the stripes is different from one zebra to the next.There have been four main theories about the reasons why zebras developed stripes.The first theory is to avoid attacks by meat-eating animals.Another is that zebras have an easier time recognizing other zebras.a third idea is thermoregulation,which is the ability of a creature to control its body temperature,even when the surrounding temperature is different.The fourth theory is to prevent attacks by biting flies.Only the last stands up,Caro said.Most biologists involved in research on mammal coloration accept that this is the reason why zebras have stripes.University of Bristol biologist Martin How worked with Caro on the study.He said stripes may confuse flies when they get too close to zebras.African horse flies carry diseases,such as trypanosomiasis.The sickness can cause weakness and be deadly.“In addition to stripes that prevent controlled landings by horse flies,zebras are always moving their tail and may frighten off the horse flies if they do land successfully,Martin How said.He added that zebras are also using behavioral means to prevent flies from biting them 1、Why did the researchers put blankets with stripes on horses?ATo confuse African horse flies.BTo draw the attention of real zebras.CTo help drive away African horse flies.DTo see how African horse flies responded to them.2、What do we learn about zebras from Paragraph 3?AThey look the same to the human eye.BTheir stripes are different from each other.CZebras living habits are similar to horses.DThree zebra species worldwide are endangered.3、According to Tim Caro,how do zebras take advantage of their stripes?AThey keep horse flies from biting them.BThey use them to avoid attacks by other animals.CThey control their body temperature through them.DThey can easily recognize each other through the stripes.4、Why are the disease carrier African horse flies mentioned in the text?ATo help us know more about such flies.BTo tell us how zebras survive biting flies.CTo explain about a cause of death of zebras.DTo show the necessity for zebras to avoid flies.5、What is the best title for the text?AWhy do zebras have stripes?BHow did zebras evolve from horses?CWhat is the worlds oldest mystery?DWhen did zebras start to prevent horse flies?23（8 分）I have three kids and a great husband and Im enjoying a career that I find challenging and funTo the outside world，this feels like“Success”But there is still a voice in my heart asking if this is who I truly amOnly in silence do I hear the self and wonder who that person might be So I booked a trip to find out I travelled，for the first time，without my husband or kidsI went to Iceland with a friend，who shares an appreciation for wilderness and silence For six days，we were immersed(沉浸)in wild，raw scenery and real weathera11 kinds of weatherClimbing a mountain against rain and returning to a tent for a simple meal reminds you how little you actually needAnd how strong it feels to be uncomfortable sometimes I found silence in Iceland，and time to consider the me outside of career and the me outside of kids as I shared stories with strangers When I stopped talking and just 1istened，I became more generousI 1earned that choosing to be generous can create more space，more food and more warmth But I didnt really gain any better appreciation of what I want from life or my jobI suspect the anxiety that drove me to seek silence in Iceland was losing sight of my ability to choose gratitude and joy，and to be present in the challenges I set in my career and my family I came home to noise，rush and love；with no less confusion on who I want to be I know the answer isnt waiting out there on the top of a mountain in Iceland The answer is in front of me with every step on my own 1ifes path，and in every choice I make 1、Why did the author take a trip to Iceland?ATo gain a new experience BTo enjoy family happiness CTo better understand herself DTo appreciate natural beauty 2、What do we 1earn about the authors trip?AExciting BDifficult CRelaxing DAdventurous 3、What change happened to the author?AShe felt lonelier BShe felt more anxious CShe became more

probably the smelliest fruit in the world,letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up.However,nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell,so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome(基因组)and find out,Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits,mostly because of its awful appearance and smell.However,the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown,so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit,and find the gene that controlled it.A group of genes,volatile sulfur compounds(含硫化合物),became very active in the fruit,and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell,like rotten onions and ingredients.The smell lasts long,mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds.Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most,but durian has four,leading to the striking smell.However,this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild.Although we find it unpleasant,many animals might be attracted by it.If they eat the fruit,then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere,thus contributing to the distribution of the species.The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species.First of all,the fruit has an impressive number of genes,namely 46,000.Also,with the help of these genes,they saw how it evolved,and discovered it was related to the cacao tree.All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.Despite the striking smell,many people actually enjoy eating the fruit.However,not all durian species are edible,and some of them may even cause damage to our health,Even so,the fruit is often imported,significantly contributing to the economy.1、What give durian its unique smell?AOnions nearby.BTwo gene copies.CRotten ingredients in it.DVolatile sulfur compounds.2、What does the underlined word“evolved”in Paragraph 5 probably mean?ADeveloped.BEscaped.CPredicted.DTolerated.3、What can we infer from the text?ANo birds enjoy eating durian.BDurian can be planted all over the world.CSome of durian species can not be eaten.DDurian has no relationship with the cacao tree.4、Whats the best title for the text?AWhats Durian?BThe Influence of the Smell CThe Distribution of Durian DThe Mystery of the Unpleasant Smell of Durian 25（10 分）These days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint.In order to reduce global warming,we need to make our carbon footprints smaller.But how much CO are we responsible for?A new book by Mike Berners-Lee(a leading expert in carbon foot-printing)might be able to help.The Carbon Foot print of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy,and calculates the amount of CO2 they produce,including the ingredients,the electricity,the equipment,the transport and the packaging.And its frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces.But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink.From Berners-Lees calculations,its clear that a pint(568 ml)of locally-brewed(酿制的)beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer.This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away,and it uses more packaging.The local beer only produces 300 g of CO2-but the imported beer produces 900 g!So,one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign beer from the supermarket.Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work.Nothing is more environmentally-friendly than riding a bike,surely?Well,it depends on what youve had to eat before.To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food.So,if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half,our footprint is 65 g of CO2.However,if we eat bacon before the bike ride,its 200 g.In fact,bananas are good in general because they dont need packaging.They can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.So,does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment?Absolutely not.If you cycle,you don t use your car;and the fewer cars on the road,the fewer traffic jams.And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars travelling at speed.Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital.And hospitals have very big carbon footprints!So,maybe its time for us all to start making some changes.Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer,please.1、Which of the followings produces the smallest carbon footprints?AA pint of local beer.BA bottle of imported beer.CA banana before a 1.5 km bike ride.DBacon before a 1.5 km bike ride.2、According to the article,the author suggests choosing the local food because it is _.Amore tasty Beasier to buy Cbetter packaged Dmore energy-saving 3、The purpose of writing this article is to _.Apromote a new book Badvertise the imported beer Cinstruct how to measure the carbon footprint
