12．Dr．Ellen Bronson of the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore always wanted to work with animals．Unlike many animal-loving little girls，though，her first idea was to be a naturalist．If a naturalist is someone who sits in the woods and observes animals and takes notes，then that's exactly what she was doing at the time．Dr．Bronson grew up"in the middle of nowhere"，and her parents didn't let her watch TV．"So I spent a lot of time hanging out in the woods because there was not a lot to do otherwise，"she says．"I had a funny notebook that my parents still have，where each page is about a certain animal．"
When she got a little older，being an animal doctor seemed like a better choice than working with animals in the forest，and the success in giving medical help to them satisfied her hugely，but she says that even the cases that don't work out as well can be meaningful．"You also have the failures，which are hard at the time，but they help not just you but the whole zoo learn，"She says．
And，of course，another advantage of the job is getting to work with really cool animals．"I really like the animals that feed on meat-they're very tough，and you can get them through hard times，"she says．
Finally，another advantage of her job is how often she gets to work with an animal over its life．"We're there doing medical examination when they're born，we watch them grow up，"she says．"And we watch them as they age．We help them age peacefully and help them be pain-free，and then we're also there when they die．That is something very special．"
（1）What can we learn from the second paragraph？
A．Giving animals medical help is always Ellen's 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．
（2）In her work with animals，she can．
A．earn fame and respect from her work．
B．realize her dream of becoming a naturalist．
C．take care of many animals from birth to death．
D．keep all the animals in peace and free from pain．
（3）Which of the following best describes Dr．Bronson？
A．Generous．
B．Well-educated．
C．Grateful．
D．Caring．组卷：15引用：3难度：0.7 -
13．Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going．When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers，small，tightly kn it （联系） groups developed their own patterns of speech independ ent of each other．Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten 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 the 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 languages．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 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 world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that．
Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction （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．
（1）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．
（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？
A．Complex．
B．Advanced．
C．Powerful．
D．Modern．
（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present？
A．About 6，800．
B．About 3，400．
C．About 2，400．
D．About 1，200．
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A．New languages will be created．
B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages．
C．Human development results in fewer languages．
D．Geography determines language evolution．组卷：5引用：2难度：0.5 -
14．The days of having to carry a phone charger everywhere could soon be over．Michigan researchers have revealed a major breakthrough in harvesting energy from human motion．
They say it could lead to smartphones powered for a week by the motion of a swipe （重击）．
Michigan State University's low-cost device，known as a nanogenerator，has already been tested．Scientists success fully operated an LCD touch screen，a bank of 20 LED lights and a flexible keyboard，all with a simple touching or pressing motion and without the aid of a battery．The groundbreaking findings，published in the journal Nano Energy，suggest "We're on the path toward wearable devices powered by human motion，" said Nelson Sepulveda，associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead researcher of the project．
"What I foresee，relatively soon，is the capability of not having to charge your cell phone for an entire week，for example，because that energy will be produced by your movement，" said Sepulveda，whose research is funded by the National Science Foundation．
Electrical energy is created when the device is compressed by human motion．The completed device is as thin as a sheet of paper．The device used to power the LED lights was palm-sized，while the device used to power the touch screen was as small as a finger．Advantages such as being lightweight，flexible and low-cost could make it a promising and alternative method in the field of Mechanical-energy harvesting．
The device also becomes more powerful when folded．Sepulveda said， "You can start with a large device，but when you fold it once，and again，and again，it's much smaller and has more energy．Now it may be small enough to put in a specially made 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 wireless headset．
（1）The underlined word "device" in the second paragraph probably refers to．
A．a piece of equipment
B．a special kind of smartphone
C．a touch screen
D．a flexible keyboard
（2）What can we learn about Nelson Sepulveda in the passage？
A．He works as a journalist writing for Nano Energy．
B．He plays a major role in the project of the nanogenerator．
C．He invented a type of battery-free smartphone．
D．He collects funds for the National Science Foundation．
（3）From the passage we know that the nanogenerator．
A．becomes more powerful when kept flat
B．has already come into market in the USA
C．is lightweight and flexible though expensive
D．makes it possible to produce power by walking
（4）The purpose of the passage is to．
A．persuade people to buy the device
B．bring in a new way to save energy
C．introduce a breakthrough in science
D．honor Nelson Sepulveda for his contributions组卷：2引用：1难度：0.5

15．Every animal sleeps，but the reason for this has remained foggy．When lab rats are not allowed to sleep，they die within a month．（1）
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories．（2）We know that，while awake，fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing （加强） connections between brain cells，but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear．
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons（神经元） in the brain can be weakened overnight，making room for fresh memories to form the next day．（3）
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right．（4）The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 percent smaller than those taken before sleep，showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping．
If Tononi's theory is right，it would explain why，when we miss a night's，we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information-our brains may have smaller room for new experiences．
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner．The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size．（5）You keep what matters，"Tononi says．
A．We should also try to sleep well the night before．
B．It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories．
C．Similarly，when people go for a few days without sleeping，they get sick．
D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories．
E．That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning．
F．"Sleep is the price we pay for learning，"says Giulio Tononi，who developed the idea．
G．Tononi's team measured the size of these connections，or synapses，in the brains of 12 mice．组卷：11引用：5难度：0.5

We are met on a great battle-field of that war． We have come to dedicate a portion （一部分） of that field， as a final resting p lace for those who here gave their （3）（life） so that nation might live． It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this．（4）in a larger sense，we cannot dedicate this ground． The brave men， living and （5）（die）， who struggled here， have dedicated （奉献） it． The world will hardly note， nor long remember what we say here，but it can never forget what they did here． It is for us，（6）living， to be dedicated here to the （7）（finish） work which those who fought here have so far advanced． It is rather for us（8）（devote） here to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we should take increased devotion to that cause （事业）， （9）which they were fully devoted --that we are firmly（10）（determine） that those dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation， under God， shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that the government of the people， by the people， for the people， shall not perish from the earth．组卷：3引用：1难度：0.6
