Un like many animal- lov ing litt le gir ls, though,
20、her first idea w as to be a naturalist. If a naturalist is someone w ho sits in the w oods and observes animals and takes notes, then thats exactly w hat she w as doing at the time. Dr. Bronson grew up “in the midd le of now here”, and her parents didnt let her watch TV. “So I spent a lot of time ha
21、nging out in the woods because there w as not a lot to do otherw ise,” s he says. “I had a funny notebook that my parents still have, w here each page is about a certain animal.”When she got a litt le o lder, being an animal doctor seemed like a better choice than w orking w ith animals in the fores
22、t, and the success in giv ing medical help to them satisfied her hugely, but she says that even the cases that dont w ork out as w ell can be meaningfu l. “You also have the failures, w hich are hard at the time, but they help not just you but the w hole zoo learn,” She says.And, of course, another
23、advantage of the job is getting to work with really cool animals. “I really like the an imals that feed on meat theyre very tough, and you can get them through hard times,” she says.Finally, another advantage of her job is how often she gets to w ork w ith an animal over its life. “Were there doing
24、medical examination when theyre born, we watch them grow up,” she says. “And w e w atch them as they age. We help them age peacefully and h elp them be pain-free, and then w ere also there w hen they die. That is something very special.”25. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Giving anima
25、ls medical help is always Ellens dream B. Even failures can also mean something to Ellen.C. Failures in work are hard for Ellen to accept.D. Observing animals gives Ellen greater satisfaction.26. In her work with animals, she can .A. earn fame and respect from her work.B. realize her dream of becomi
26、ng a naturalist.C. take care of many animals from birth to death.- 6 -D. keep all the animals in peace and free from pain.27. Which of the following best describes Dr. Bronson?A. Generous. B. Well-educated. C. Grateful. D. Caring.CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in r
27、ecent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated byhunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to t
28、en million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and t
29、he spread of universal compulsory education, especially g lobalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 langua
30、ges . The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and
31、 Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already w ell over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to ex
32、tinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.2
33、8. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely connected.- 7 -29. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Powerful

New languages w ill be created.B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.C. Human development results in few
35、er languages. D. Geography determines language evolution.DThe days of having to carry a phone charger everywhere could soon be over.

36、 of a sw ipe (重 击) .Michig an State Univ ersitys low -cost devic e, know n as a nanogenerator, has already been tested. Scientists successfully operated an LCD touch screen, a bank of 20 LED lights and a flexib le keyboard, all with a simple touching or pressing motion and without the aid of a batte
37、ry. The groundbreaking findings, published in the journal Nano Energy, suggest “Were on the path tow ard w earable devices pow ered by human motion,” said Nelson Sepulv eda, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead researcher of the project.“What I foresee, relatively soon
38、, is the capability of not having to charge your cell p hone for an entire week, for example, because that energy will be produced by your movement,” said Sepulveda, w hose research is funded by the National Science Foundation.Electrical energy is created w hen the device is compressed by human moti

Advantag es such as being light w eight, flex ib le and low -cost could make it a promis ing and alternativ
40、e method in the field of Mechanical-energy harvesting.The device also becomes more pow erful w hen folded. Sepulveda said, “You can startw ith a large device, but w hen you fold it once, and again, and again, its much smaller and hasmore energy. Now it may be small enough to put in a specially made
41、heel of your shoe so it creates power each time your heel strikes the ground.”Sepulveda and his team are also developing technology that would transmit the power generated by the heel strike to, say, a w ireless headset.32. The underlined word “device” in the second paragraph probably refers to _ .A

45、选 项 。 选 项 中 有 两 项 为 多 余 选 项 。We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or springclean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on._36_ But I can help you find more hours
46、in your day for the things that really matter. Get Out of Bed EarlierIf you normally get up at 7：30 a.m., try getting up at 7：00 am. That halfhour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book youve been meaning to finish. _37_ Do the Important Tasks Fir
47、stOnce you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones._38_ The urgent tasks will still get done, and you wont miss the important ones
48、. Reduce InterruptionsIf colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions dont just eat up time, they also break your concentration.W
49、hen youve got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. _39_ Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation. _40_A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.When youre working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if youre facing a difficult task, try breaking it i
