Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1To make room for agriculture, trees and other plants are often cleared away so that farmers have space to grow crops. Theclearing of forests forces many animals from their homes. They often flee the area in search of a new place to live. There is a big downside to that. Some of those animals are natural predators. They control pest populations. They can help to clear the fields of rats, mice, and other rodents that eat and damage crops.This happened at one small farming village in Indonesia. After land was cleared for farming, rats and mice began appearing in large numbers. Villagers tried to target the animals by smoking them out and hunting them. But the villagers were unsuccessful.So, one farmer decided to try another method- a natural one.Pujo Arto brought owls to his farm. Owls, after all, are experts at hunting rodents. It is what they do. And it worked! However, Pujo Arto didn't stop with his own field. He set up a Natural Predator Program. Now, owls are busy catching rats and mice in the fields around the village of Tlogoweru. There is a huge upside: no need for chemical pesticides which can harm not only rodents, but other creatures.In 2011, the Indonesian man began setting up boxes where the owls live. He is also raising owlets in the village. After about four months, the young birds are released. These facilities have raised more than owls. They have also raised awareness in the community about the importance of owls. They raised awareness within their community by building homes for those owls. At the same time, government officials helped to create laws to protect those owls.Tn addition to controlling pests naturally, there is another upside to the program. His village is now a popular stop for eco-tourists.

However, there's a reason why you find a dog's stare so attractive. That sweet stare actually causes the release of a particular hormone, or chemical messenger in the body. This hormone creates feelings of affection in humans. The same thing happens to dogs when people look back at them. Scientists believe this helps people and their four-legged friends bond, or feel connected. Scientists have wondered what causes dogs to lovingly stare at their owners. To find out, a team of researchers from Azabu University in Japan studied 30 owners and their dogs.The researchers found that after the pets and their owners spent half an hour together, both showed a rise in oxytocin （催产 素）.One key role of this hormone in many animals is to promote bonding, like that between a mother and newborn. The increase of oxytocin didn't happen, though, when scientists repeated the experiment with wolves and the humans who had raised them.A second experiment also found that if dogs were given oxytocin, they looked at their owners longer. Scientists aren't sure exactly why, but this reaction occurred only with female dogs. Their owners oxytocin levels also rose as a result.The result of these experiments might help answer an age-old question: How did the fearsome wolf ancestor of modern dogs turn into man's best friend? Takefumi Kikusui, an animal scientist who worked on the study, thinks that the change happened when dogs first became domestic （驯养的）.According to Kikusui, there may have been a small group of wild dogs that were naturally friendlier. "Humans are very sensitive to eye contact. By using this special communication tool, the dogs are able to win over our hearts. If they are more likely to make eye contact, it would be easier fbr them to bond with dog owners J Kikusui said.1、According to Paragraph 1, people say "Awww" to.A. make the dog stare at themB express their love for the dogsC draw the dogs attention awayD. warn the dogs not to approach them2、According to the passage, oxytocin can.A. reduce animals pain of giving birthB. motivate animals desires to protect othersC. help animals to develop a better relationshipD. enable animals to survive more easily from dangers3、The underlined words “the change in Paragraph 4 refer to that.A. dogs became friends with humansB. wolves begin to bond with humansC , dogs and wolves are best friendsD. dogs were domesticated by humans4> What9s the purpose of the passage?A. To call on humans to be friendly to dogs.B , To give advice on how to get along with dogs.C. To introduce the evolution process of wild dogs.D. To explain why humans and dogs are connected.Text 4Even if you don't have to work, eat or sleep, you won't be able to get through all information on blogs and social networks. The problem we face is that much of this information seems very interesting at first glance. Actually, much of the information is unimportant, disposable and it distracts us from more meaningful pursuits. Worse still, when we spend lots of time consuming information from our social media streams, we may find it hard to concentrate on what we're doing and we have a tendency to forget what we have consumed anyway.A new study from Sweden's KTH Royal Institute of Technology has found that too much social media exposure actually reduces your ability to process information and depletes （耗尽）your short-term working memory.Our working memory plays a critical role in our capacity to filter （过滤）information and remember what is valuable but it is not a limitless resource. Erik Fransen, a professor in Computer Science at KTH and the leader of this is new study on social media overload says this can explain why our capacity （容量）for processing information begins to fail when we attempt to put more information in the working memory.In fact, when you try to process the information like speech or video, you are going to need partly the same system of working memory, so you are reducing your own working memory capacity. And when you try to store many things in your working memory, you get less good at processing information.It is the periods of downtime of your brain-preferably disconnected from the distractions of your computer or smartphone一that are needed for memory consolidation （巩固）and transferring important information to your exposure to new information. Besides, you can empty your mind of thoughts quickly to relax completely, go for a short walk or spend a few minutes listening to music. This will help you improve your capacity to process information and increase your productivity. 1、What can we learn about social media overload from Paragraph 1?A. It distracts our attention. B. It is beneficial to us.C. It brings us whatever we want. D. It keeps us informed of everything.2、Why does your capacity for processing information begin to fall sometimes?A. Much of the information is unimportant.B. Your working memory is a limited resource.C. You're less good at processing information.D. You don't make the most of your brain.3、Which is recommended to relax your brain?A. Thinking over things carefully. B. Listening to music for a while.C. Taking enough physical exercise. D. Focusing more on the present.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A -G for each numbered paragraph (41 - 45).
