back in Ethiopia and yet he insisted on teaching us thislanguage,Tufa said.“There were so many resources at my fingertips for the other languages Iwas learning and so many people that speak them.But when Dad was teaching us Oromo,therewere no textbooks or learning materials at all.And that struck me as really strange.But as Tufa got older and began doing her own research,she discovered why speaking.新高三暑期提优补差-学习升学问题咨询，请与小娜老师沟通交流about Oromo was so painful for her father.The Oromo are the largest racial group of Ethiopia.But since their land was seized in the 1880s,the people have suffered a lot.The Oromo languagewas banned,including from political life and schools.Oromo texts were destroyed.Tufas father,an Oromo,fled to Egypt and,in the late 1970s,he was given asylum（庇护）in Australia.By the time the Oromo ban was lifted,Tufas father had established a small,private Oromoschool in Melbourne to teach the language to the children of asylum seekers.As she helped toteach the students,Tufa realised the teaching resources were awful.She decided to create postersand worksheets for her fathers students,using her own money to get them printed.Three other Oromo schools that had opened in Victoria by then heard about the materialsand all of them wanted copies.Tufa realised that if there was a demand for Oromo childeducation materials in Australia,there must be other communities around the world whereresources were also needed.She launched a crowdfunding campaign so she could print more Oromo learning materials.By the end of 2014,in just six weeks,she had raised almost$125,000.Word of her project spread.Her resources have also found their way to Ethiopia,with people sending copies to familymembers who still live there.This year,she plans to launch an online store for her

in Ethiopia.B.Where the Oromo language is taught.新高三暑期提优补差-学习升学问题咨询，请与小娜老师沟通交流C.How a girl helps to keep Oromo alive.D.What schools need in teaching Oromo.CGlobal heating appears to be making trees drop their leaves earlier,according to newresearch,contradicting the idea that warmer temperatures delay the beginning of autumn.The finding is important because trees draw huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the airand therefore play a key role in managing the climate.The rising temperatures also mean that spring is arriving earlier and,overall,the growingseason for trees in the planets temperate zones(温带地区）is getting longer.However,theearlier autumns mean that significantly less carbon can be stored in trees than previously thought,providing less of a brake on global heating.The new research is based on a huge dataset of observations of European trees,experimentsthat varied light and CO2 levels,and mathematical models.It showed that as well as temperatureand day length,the amount of carbon a tree has absorbed in a season is a key factor indetermining when it no longer needs its leaves and drops them.The scientists liken the effect to aperson becoming full after a heavy meal and being unable to eat more food.Earlier models that did not include the amount of carbon a tree absorbs during a seasonindicated that autumn could be two to three weeks later by the end of the century on currentemissions(排放）trends.But the scientists new model indicates autumn may actually come upto six days earlier.Christine Rollinson,an ecologist at the MortonArboretum in Illinois,USA,said the earlier models were known to be simplifications butwere the best available.“The big challenge is that autumn has always been a bit of a mess,”she said.“Depending onwhere you are and which species youre looking at,theres some evidence that leaf fall ishappening earlier and some that its happening later.But understanding how well a tree growsduring the season really helps explain that tree-to-tree variation.”Rollinson said that we cant put all of the responsibility on to growing trees.We can cutemissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation to address the climate emergency.28.What is the result of rising temperature?A.Later spring.B.More carbon storage.C.Shorter growth season.D.Earlier autumn leaf-off.29.What does the underlined word“liken”mean in the fourth paragraph?A.Compare.新高三暑期提优补差-学习升学问题咨询，请与小娜老师沟通交流B.Owe.C.Expose.D.Reduce.30.What is Christine Rollinsons attitude towards the earlier models?A.Disapproving.B.Supportive.C.Sceptical.D.Unclear.31.What is the last paragraph meant to do?A.Offer a solution.B.Voice dissatisfaction.C.Show a new finding.D.Present more evidence.DChimpanzees(黑猩猩）enjoy watching movies together,scientists have discovered,inresearch that suggests social bonding through shared experience has deep evolutionary roots.It is widely known that humans can bond over group activities such as watching a movie orplaying board games.But it has been unclear whether the underlying psychology behind thiseffect is present in other species.In the research,chimpanzees were placed in pairs and shown a short video.The researchersthen measured how long it took them to approach their partners,how close they got and how longthey remained in proximity(靠近）two measures of social bonding.Chimpanzees who had viewed the video with either another of their own species or a humanapproached their partner faster or spent longer in proximity to them,compared with those whohad watched the video on their own,the scientists found.The finding indicates that social bonding created by shared experience may have deeperevolutionary roots than previously thought.“Animals can stand together and watch a waterfall,but they dont seem to seek out thosekinds of experiences,said Wolf,an author on the study.“So for a long time we thought theywerent capable of processing that way or they werent feeling any psychological consequencesfrom doing so.“Its exciting that at least some parts of the psychology that we need to connect throughshared experiences may actually have a slightly older evolutionary history than previouslysuspected.”新高三暑期提优补差-学习升学问题咨询，请与小娜老师沟通交流The animals were tracked for only three minutes after they had watched the film,so it is notclear whether shared experiences strengthen social bonds in the long term.The research usedanimals in captivity(圈养），and scientists said it was not known whether the same effectswould be observed in the wild.32.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Experiencing social bonds.B.Sharing evolutionary roots.C.Humans bonding over group activities.D.Chimpanzees watching movies together.33.How did the researchers get the findings?A.By making a comparison.B.By introducing a concept.C.By using an experts words.D.By referring to another study.34.What did Wolf think of the research findings?A.Imperfect.B.Encouraging.C.Groundless.D.Doubtful.35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.Approaches to future studies.B.New perceptions of other scientists.C.The aspects which need further tests.D.The application of the research findings.第二节(共 5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Having takeout lunches can leave you sleepy,tired and unable to
