21、Animal appear to predict earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air — the first study to find reliable evidence of the phenomenon has shown.
Cameras revealed an “amazing” drop in the number of animals up to 23 days before a major quake hit their rainforest home at Yanachaga National Park in Peru. Lead scientist Dr Rachel Grant, from Anglia Ruskin University, said, “The results showed that just before the earthquake, animals’ activity dropped right down.”
On a normal day the cameras placed around Yanachaga National Park record between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days before the earthquake, the number of animals dropped to five or fewer per day. No animals were photographed at all on five of the seven days immediately before the quake.
Another study showed that animal activity remained normal in the park over a different period when seismic (地震的) activity was low. Co-author, professor Friedemann Freund, said, “The cameras were located at an altitude of 900 meters. If air ionization occurred, the animals would escape to the valley below, where there were fewer positive ions ( 离子). With their ability to sense their environment, animals can help us understand small changes that occur before major earthquakes.”
Other evidence suggested that before the earthquake, the air around the high mountain sites filled with positive ions that can be produced when rocks are placed under stress. Positive ions have been known to cause ill effects in humans as well as animals. Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. They are thought to have escaped to lower ground, where the air was less ionized. The findings may help experts develop better short-term seismic forecasts.
【1】How did scientists conduct the study?
A．By comparing different animals’ habits.
B．By observing animals in high mountains.
C．By explaining the positive ion phenomenon.
D．By analyzing images of animals they obtained.
【2】What can be inferred from animal activity before earthquakes?
A．The ground at a lower altitude is less ionized.
B．Cameras normally record more animals per day.
C．Earthquake warnings can be detected in lower places.
D．The activity of animals and earthquakes is consistent.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A．The findings make for accurate seismic forecast.
B．Animals tend to be uneasy with more positive ions.
C．Positive ions make humans and animals depressed.
D．All the animals remain abnormal before the earthquake.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Negative Influence of Positive Ions.
B．Ions’ Destruction to the Environment.
C．Animals’ Behavior Before Earthquakes.
D．Creatures’ Ability to Predict Earthquakes.
22、Friendship is above reason, for, though you find virtues (美德) in a friend, he has been your friend before you find them. It is a gift that we offer because we must; to give it as the reward of virtue would be to set a price upon it, and those who do that have no friendship to give. If you choose your friends on the grounds that you are virtuous and want virtuous company, you are no nearer to true friendship than if you choose them for commercial reasons. Besides, who are you that you should be setting a price upon your friendship? It is enough for any man that he has the power of making friends, and he must leave it to that power to determine who his friends shall be. For, though you may choose the virtuous to be your friends, they may not choose you. It comes, like sleep, when you are not thinking about it; and you should be grateful, without any misgiving, when it comes.
So no man who knows what friendship is will give up a friend because he turns out to be disreputable (声名狼藉的). His only reason for giving up a friend is that he has stopped caring for him; and, when that happens, he should blame himself for this poverty (缺乏) of affection, not the friend for having proved unworthy.
We have our judgments and our punishments as part of the political mechanism that is forced upon us so that we may continue to live; but friendship is not friendship at all unless it teaches us that these are not part of our real life. It is only in the warmth of friendship that we see how cold a thing it is to judge and how stupid to take a pleasure in judging; for we recognize this warmth as a positive good, a richness in our natures, while the coldness that sets us judging is a poverty.
There are men who cannot be friends except when they are under an illusion (幻觉) that their friends are perfect, and when the illusion passes there is an end of their friendship. But true friendship has no illusions, for it reaches to that part of a man’s nature that is beyond his imperfections. A man is your friend, not because of his superiorities (优越), but because there is something open from your nature to his, a way that is closed between you and most men.
【1】What is the author’s attitude towards choosing friends on the grounds of their virtues?
A．Uncertain.
B．Concerned.
C．Supportive.
D．Disapproving.
【2】According to the author, you may give up your friend only when he ________.
A．shows no care for you
B．becomes disreputable
C．blames you for not caring about him
D．does something bad and hurts your feelings
【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A．We should not make a judgment about others.
B．Friendship can turn us to be kind-hearted people.
C．The political mechanism plays an important role in our life.
D．Friendship teaches us to have a positive attitude towards life.
【4】According to the last paragraph, a man becomes your friend mainly because _________.
A．he accepts your imperfections
B．he and you understand each other
C．he holds an open attitude towards you
D．he gives you the illusion of perfection
23、Mosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight to their unprotected skin. Regrettably, mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的）wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases，including Dengue，yellow fever and malaria.
Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.
Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas, which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.
But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects, with even smaller brains，use three senses to find a blood meal.
Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.
Then, the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of the tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said, at first, the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all. “What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2, they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点）.”
This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal，they also follow visual signals.
【1】What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets?
A. Sense of smell B. Sense of touch
C. Sense of sight D. Smart brains
【2】The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is _______.
A. to fly to the dark ones
B. to catch and stick to them
C. to take no notice of them
D. to attach themselves to them
【3】How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according to the text?
A. Don’t let them see us.
B. Use dark objects to stop them.
C. Make them fly back and forth for hours.
D. Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A. How Do Mosquitoes Survive?
B. Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood?
C. How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You?
D. Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being?
24、As I made my way to my office last Thursday，I noticed an A4 poster stuck to the lift door.Then I noticed one on the wall，one on the noticeboard，and then one on my classroom door.In fact，they were stuck to nearly every available surface along the corridor.And they all had the same statement：“All I’m asking for is a little respect seeing I pay you ￡9,000 a year.”
I still don’t know what led to this flyer campaign—it is said that it’s linked to a group of students who were not given extra assignment grade for their examination—but I could not help but become annoyed at the impolite language.
I started to think about the ways that my students act and speak，and the way I acted and spoke during my time at university.I will admit that I didn’t do all of the readings，and yes，I may have missed a couple of lectures throughout the year，but I completed all assignments and followed the guidelines presented to me，without expecting my lecturers to chase after me.I wish I could say the same for my students.
As I walked through the car park with a colleague at the end of the day，we discussed the unrest(不安) that the posters had caused：“If you ask me，” he said，“all universities are going to need a customer services department before long.” And there it was，plain and simple，the issue that I hadn’t been able to explain：these young people weren’t behaving like university students，they were behaving like customers.I recalled the student who told me he was disappointed with his low grade because he had “paid so much money”．My colleague topped it：when one of his students was asked to leave a seminar for not completing the reading，he responded，“I pay you to teach me what’s in the article，not the other way around.”
Last week I sent out the first round of grades for a module and had 12 emails of complaint within an hour.One in particular stood out for its misunderstanding of what it means to be a scholar.The student said the grade must be incorrect because he had turned up to all the lectures—as if simply hoping what I had taught him deserved a 70＋grade.As I attempted to make a polite and supportive response，I considered a few things.When did it become an expectation that turning up to lectures is worthy of reward in itself？Moreover，when I was studying would I have ever had the balls to contact my lecturers and not only question their ability to grade my work appropriately but imply that my low grade was their fault?
I find that as time goes by，my students become increasingly reluctant to engage in any academic behavior that does not have a direct effect on their assignment grade.That is，after all，what they are paying for.And so I am not regarded as an academic.I am not an expert in my field，a person with 10 years’ worth of industry knowledge.I am a service provider.
I wish I’d had the gusto(热忱) to reply to those posters，“Hey student—all I’m asking for is a little respect，seeing how much you pay makes no difference to my wages，yet the level of support I am forced to offer you takes up 80% of my time in spite of the fact that teaching is still only equal to 33% of my workload.But I’ll be in the office until 9 pm anyway because if I don’t publish two papers by the end of the year，I’ll be fired.”
【1】What did the students really want to say through the flyer campaign?
A. They hoped less homework would be given.
B. They were upset about what they had done.
C. They wanted to be respected by their teachers.
D. They received much less than they had expected.
【2】How does the author feel about the students’ words in those posters?
A. Angry. B. Excited.
C. Relieved. D. Moved.
【3】What the author’s colleague said actually implies that .
A. university students have gone too far
B. he faces a lot of challenges from his students

A. Right. B. Ambition.
C. Freedom. D. Courage.
【6】Why do students now show less respect for teachers?
A. They are spoiled and impolite.
B. They consider their teachers unqualified.
C. The teaching style doesn’t appeal to them.
D. They think it’s they that pay their teachers.
