22、enter. 30 “The moose(驼鹿 )is odd and awkward to look at. Why should it stand so high at the shoulders? Why have so long a head?“ The 19th-century writer of those words, Henry David Thoreau, was hardly alone in his comment of the moose. Mooses funny appearance makes us think that it is clumsy and slow

23、-witted. Is that true? Researchers in North America have uncovered many facts about this unusual animal. No one denies that the moose is a giant. Adult moose can grow as high as 1. 5 to 2 meters, and weigh as much as 816 kg. Although it has long legs that make it seem foolish, it can run up to 55 km

24、 per hour, and those legs can kick off an entire pack of wolves. Moose is vegetarian. It feeds on woody plants, leaves and water plants. It learns to swim within days of birth, and they have been observed swimming for miles and diving to a depth of nearly 6 meters to feed on water plants! A moose ca

25、n move its eyes and detect motion almost directly behind it without turning its head. Its nose is also an effective tool. Researchers suggest that because the mooses nostrils(鼻孔 )are far apart, they may give it the unusual ability to locate the objects on a 3D scale. The mooses hearing adds another

26、merit to its sensory package. Its ears can turn to all directions, and they can pick up sounds from other moose as far as 3 km away! Baby moose tend to be curious and carefree. Their mothers protect them by providing tender and loyal care. They will attack any who are too close to their young, inclu

27、ding wolves, bears, and even humans. Finally, when the young is about a year old and its mother is newly pregnant, the mother aggressively drives it away so that it can begin caring for itself. 31 The moose looks odd and awkward, so_. （ A） many people make fun of it （ B） many people consider it fool

28、ish （ C） many researchers study it （ D） many people are afraid of it 32 The word “vegetarian“(Para. 2)probably means_. （ A） lovely （ B） kind-hearted （ C） huge （ D） plant-eating 33 We can learn from Paragraph 3 that the moose_. （ A） is a gentle animal （ B） is an aggressive animal （ C） has very sharp

29、senses （ D） lives far apart from one another 34 We can conclude from the last paragraph that mother moose_. （ A） take good care of their kids only for a short time （ B） take those approaching their young as a threat （ C） give birth to only one baby once in a year （ D） prefer younger babies to older

30、ones 35 This passage is intended to tell us that_. （ A） the moose is really a giant and quiet animal （ B） we should protect the environment for the moose （ C） the moose is not clumsy and foolish at all （ D） people should not disturb the mooses life 35 I have a vegetable garden and every summer I enj

31、oy eating my own vegetables. One day last summer 1 picked a dozen carrots. Usually, as soon as I have picked the carrots, I clean the dirt off them by washing them in a bucket of water. But this day, as I was getting up from the ground with my twelve carrots, I tripped(绊 )and fell over the bucket. T

32、he water spilled out of the bucket, so I decided to wash the carrots quickly in the kitchen sink. I put the carrots in the sink, washed them with water, and watched all the dirt washed away down the drain. The next day, when I was washing dishes, I noticed that the water drained out of the sink much

33、 more slowly than usual. It drained so slowly that I called a plumber(水管工 )to come and fix my drain. The plumber tried a lot of different cleaners and equipment, but nothing worked. He had to cut a hole in the floor where the drain pipe was in order to try to find the problem. While he was cutting t

34、he small hole, he accidentally cut the hot-water pipe. Hot water sprayed over the plumber, onto the floor, under the refrigerator; water went everywhere. My refrigerator stopped working because the water had affected the electrical wires. I called an electrician to come and fix the refrigerator. The

35、 electrician had to move the refrigerator to work on the wires. As she was balancing it, she tripped over the plumbers tools. She fell down and the refrigerator tipped over. It crashed into the wall, resulting in a huge hole in the wall. I called a carpenter to come and fix the wall. In order to rep

36、air the hole in the wall, the carpenter had to tear down half of the entire wall. Meanwhile, the plumber was still looking for the source of the drain problem. Since the kitchen was in a terrible mess anyway, the plumber decided to remove part of the floor to look at the pipe there. In the middle of

37、 the floor, he found the problem: the dirt from the carrots was stuck in the pipe and nothing could go through. Now I had a sink that did not drain, a refrigerator that did not work, a wall that was half gone, and part of a floor that was missing. I looked at this disaster and decided that what I re

38、ally needed was a new kitchen. Finally, I called a house builder to come and fix my kitchen. Three weeks later I had a new sink, a new refrigerator, new cupboards on a new wall, new tiles on a new floor, and $ 10,000 less in my bank. 36 The carrots were washed in the sink instead of the bucket becau

39、se_. （ A） the water bucket fell over （ B） dinner needed to be made soon （ C） carrots were always washed in it （ D） they could be washed more cleanly 37 The plumber did all the following EXCEPT_. （ A） cut a hole in the floor （ B） cut the hot-water pipe （ C） try different cleaners （ D） tear down part

40、of the wall 38 Which of the following caused the hole in the wall? （ A） Water that sprayed on it. （ B） The electrician who worked on the wires. （ C） The refrigerator that crashed into it. （ D） The plumber who used a wrong tool. 39 Which of the following items was NOT damaged? （ A） The wall. （ B） The

41、 ceiling. （ C） The hot water pipe. （ D） The floor. 40 The best title of the passage would be “_“. （ A） How a dozen carrots cost $ 10,000 （ B） What the dirt from carrots could do （ C） Carrots can be very expensive （ D） A careless homeowner 40 More boys than girls are born all over the world, but a ne

42、w study has found that the closer people live to the equator(赤道 ), the smaller the difference becomes. No one knows why. The imbalanced sex ratio at birth has been known for more than a hundred years, and researchers have found a large variety of social, economic and biological factors that relate t

43、o the sex ratio at birthwar, economic stress, age, diet, selective abortion and more. But latitude(纬度 )is a natural phenomenon, unaffected by cultural or economic factors. To look at the effect of latitude, Kristen J. Navara of the University of Georgia used the latitude of the capital city in 202 c

44、ountries, as well as 10 years of data on sex ratio at birth and annual variations in day length and temperature. Dr. Navara performed a statistical analysis which showed that there was a significant relation between sex ratios in favor of boys and latitude. African countries produced the lowest sex

45、ratios50. 7 percent boysand European and Asian countries had the highest with 51. 4 percent. There are some possible explanations, but none entirely satisfactory. It could be that there is some survival value in producing more girls in warmer regions, but it is unclear what this might be. There may

46、be genetic or racial differences that could explain it, but the connection persists over so many varied populations that this seems unlikely. Mice also produce more male offspring during shorter days or colder weather, but the reasons in these animals are just as mysterious as they are in humans. “T

47、heres a possibility that humans might be responding to factors they were programmed to respond to a long time agonot cultural or socioeconomic, but climate and things like latitude,“ Dr. Navara said. “Whats interesting is that we may be seeing something that connects us with our animal ancestry. “ 4

48、1 What can be learned from the first paragraph? （ A） The closer to the equator, the more boys are born. （ B） Boys are more used to colder places. （ C） Girls have a higher birth rate than boys near the equator. （ D） In warmer places the birth ratio between boys and girls is lower. 42 Out of all the i

49、nfluencing factors of birth ratio, Dr. Navara focuses on_. （ A） culture （ B） economy （ C） latitude （ D） stress 43 Dr. Navara reached her conclusion through_. （ A） comparing data （ B） field study （ C） conducting a survey （ D） map reading 44 According to Navara, which of the following probably explains the imbalanced sex ratio? （ A） There is cultural preference for boys. （ B） Human
