humans get help from an unusualpartner:wild bottlenose dolphins.With nets in hand,the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean（鲸 类 的）partners drive thefish toward the shore.A signal from the dolphinsusually a deep dive indicates when theyshould cast their nets.This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations,试 卷 第 4 页，共 13页lasting for more than a century.While researchers knew humans profited from this pairing,they couldnt confirmwhether it benefited the dolphins.Now,in a new study in Proceedings o f the NationalAcademy o f Sciences,researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have more chancesto live than those that dont.Human-wildlife cooperation in general is a rare phenomenon at a global scale.saysMauricio Cantor,a biologist at Oregon State University and leader of the study.Usuallyhumans gain the benefit,and nature pays the cost.But this interaction has been happening forover 150 years.,Fishers were more successful when they worked with the dolphins.When dolphins werepresent,the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch prey（猎 物）and netted nearly fourtimes more mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans signals.Eighty-sixpercent of all 4.955 mullet caught during the study period came from synchronous（同 时 的）interactions,when the allies organized their actions perfectly with one another.The study also revealed dolphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase insurvival rate over other dolphins.These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near theshore,reducing their chance of entanglement（缠 绕）in illegal fishing equipment.Besides,thedolphins can take some fish directly from the fishers harvest.24.What do the first two paragraphs talk about concerning Brazilian fishers?A.They trick dolphins into fishing for them.B.They harvest more fish with dolphins help.C.They have been training dolphins over a century.D.They cast the fishing nets when dolphins surface.25.What does Mauricio Cantors research show?A.Nature favors human beings at a huge cost.B.Fishers benefit from cooperating with cetaceans.C.Human-wildlife interaction is a new global trend.D.Dolphins working with man have higher survival rate.26.What docs the underlined word aUies”refer to in paragraph 5?A.Prey.B.Mullet.C.Partners.D.Researchers.27.Whats the authors main purpose in writing the text?A.To appeal for the protection of sea creatures.B.To show a unique human-dolphin relationship.C.To applaud for development in fishing research.D.lb encourage fishers to better draw on dolphins.When reading,my mother likes to slice a paragraph or a sentence out and attach it to thewall of her kitchen.She picks boring sentences that puzzle me.But I prefer copying favoritebright lines into a journal in soft,gray No.2 pencil,word by word.She doesnt know any of this.There*s nothing shocking:for our chatting,we seldombegin certain conversations though we talk on the phone weekly,sometimes making eachother laugh so hard that I choke and she cries.But what we dont say could fill up rooms.Fights with my father.Small failures in school.Anything that really upsets us.My mother has never told me“I love you,Lisa.as if the four-word absence explainswho I am so I carry it with me,like a label on me.The last time she almost spoke the wordswas two years ago,when she called to tell me a friend had been in hospital.I said,“I love you,Mom.She stopped for a while and then said,Thank you.I haven*t said it since,but Ivewondered why my mother doesnt until Ive found a poem that supplies words for the blankspaces I try to understand in our conversations:Don i fill up on bread.I say absent-mindedly.The servings here are huge.My son,middle-aged,says:Did you really just say that to me?What he doesn?know is that when we re walking together,I desire to reach for his hand.Its humble,yet heartbreaking.After copying it down in my journal,I emailed it to mom,adding“This poem makes me think of you.My mother doesnt read poetry-or at least,shedoesnt tell me,and I felt nervous clicking Send.She never mentioned the poem.But the next time I went home for vacation,I noticedsomething new in the kitchen fixed to an antique board:the poem.The board hung above theheater,the warmest spot in the kitchen.The poem still hangs there.Neither my mother nor Ihave ever spoken about it.28.Whats the function of paragraph 1?A.To stress the theme.B.To establish the setting.C.To represent the characters.D.To create the atmosphere.29.Which of the following best describes the mother daughter relationship?A.Shaky.B.Distant.C.Reserved.D.Intense.试 卷 第 6 页，共 13页30.Why did the author send the poem to her mom?A.It reminded her of moms love.B.She wanted to apologize to mom.C.It suited moms taste of literature.D.She needed an interpretation from mom.31.What does the poem mean to mom?A.A memory of golden days.B.Daughters gratefulness to her.C.A decoration in the plain kitchen.D.Daughters understanding of her.Among my friends,one topic seems to dominate our conversations:bones.It makessense,given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis（骨 质 疏 松）andthat more than half have bone loss.For men,the figures are lower:4 percent and a third.Worldwide,one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop afracture（骨 折）.Another reason for the endless argument about bone problems is massconfusion over how best to strengthen your bones and whether diet really makes a difference.Diet research is always messy,and study results on nutrition and bone health haventbeen consistent.But gradually some clarity is emerging.As we draw up resolutions for whatto eat,its useful to look at new data on vitamin D.Calcium is the key clement for buildingbones,and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from the food we cat,so doctors oftenrecommend D supplements（补 充 齐 ll）to make up for age-related bone loss.But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rateof fractures in seniors.That result built on earlier findings,led by the same team,that thesesupplements do not improve bone density（密 度）.“Food and sun exposure likely provideenough vitamin D for healthy adults/9 says Meryl LeBoff,who led the study.What does help maintain strong bones for all of us?The easy answer is food high incalcium,such as milk and tofii.Getting it from food is best,LeBoff says,because there areso many other nutrients（营 养 物 质）,and you have a more continuous absorption than with Dsupplements.The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in.Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life.So while focusing onbetter nutritional choices,add more exercise to your daily menu.32.What do the statistics in paragraph 1 emphasize?A.The seriousness of bone problems.B.The concern about senior citizens.C.The confusion about strengthening bones.D.The importance of having a balanced diet.33.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply?A.Diet research is no longer a challenge.B.Weve made resolutions to study diets.C.Findings on bone health prove to be similar.D.We begin to agree on ways to keep bones healthy.34.What can be inferred from the recent study?A.People can absorb vitamin D in food easily.B.The findings go against LeBoffs earlier ones.C.D supplements play a minor role than expected.D.Fractures are linked with weight-bearing exercise.35.What is a suitable title for the text?A.A recipe for better bones B.Your bones cry!C.The magic of D supplements D.Vitamin D wins!四、七 选 五 Theres a lot to cope with when you go off to university.36 For most students,a completely new environment is waiting to be explored.We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher.It was a struggleto find the car park,let alone explore the huge campus.Although we knew she had flatmatesand phone apps to get her to fit in,the challenge ahead was clear-to find her way in anunfamiliar world.37In a recent study,volunteers walked around a virtual forest environment.Then some ofthem took the same walk again,while others explored a different forest.38 Accordingto the researchers,that was because exploring the new environment stimulated theirdopamine（多 巴 胺）system-setting up their brains for memorizing things.Thus,they scored试 卷 第 8 页，共 13页higher.So leaving home to study makes perfect sense.39 But we may all be able togain some of the benefits,even if its just by stimulating our senses and challenging ourthinking skills.Here are three things to try:Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task-like memorizing a speechin the library,or revising for an exam in a park-and take an unfamiliar route to get there.40 To warm yourself up for learning,picture a city you know well,butimagine youre tapped in a part of it that youve never visited.Then try to visualize exactlyhow youll get out.Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes.Then see whether itimproves your success with other learning tasks,like practising a dance or mastering phrasesfor a foreign trip.A.Get lost in your imagination.B.Prepare yourself for a city tour.C.But exploring places as such is beneficial to memory.D.People prove to be more adaptable after new experience.E.The latter group performed better in memory tests straight after.F.There are new friends to meet and new responsibilities to accept.G.Young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings.五、完 形 填 空 There was an oak tree in my yard,close to where neighbors parked their cars.One day Isaw a big bird surrounding a baby squirrel（松 鼠）,as if 41 it.So I picked up a rock,and being 42 to aim,I threw the rock at the bird.but the stone bounced off a43 breaking the windshield（挡 风 玻 璃）of a new white Prius car.My blood rancold.In 44 yet calmly,I put my personal information under the windshield,wentback inside and watched to 45 which neighbors car window I destroyed.Later ayoung man came to he Prius and I ran out to 46 the accident and promised to47.He was a mild and gentle man.He called his relatives-my neighbors,whowere also very 48.After some 49.1 knew that they planned to attend awedding party.and now they had no car!I quietly cried 50 but that made thisfamily even kinder they 5J me and decided to take a taxi.The very next day I received a 5 2 from an agent of the man*s insuranceoffice.In a(an)53 voice of further kindness,she accepted my explanation ofhow this accidental damage occurred and agreed to 54 all.I was impressed by the example set by everyone concerned andwhat _ 55.looked like.41.A.parenting B.hunting C.d
