26、   Fish have different personalities which change as they experience life’s highs and lows, according to British biologists.

Researchers identified different “personalities” in their fish by observing the boldness(大胆) or shyness of individuals, according to The Nature. Like people, some fish are very confident in the face of novelty or conflict, while others are silent and fearful.

The scientists selected particularly bold and shy rainbow trout(虹鳟鱼), and tested whether they changed their outlook depending on what life threw at them. They arranged some fish to fight and others to watch to see how both the participants and observers responded to victories and defeats. Winning or losing a fight, or even watching fellow fish overcome the difficulties influenced the future behavior of the creatures studied in the lab.

The researchers made fish compete with much larger or smaller opponents(对手), to ensure that they would win or lose their fights. These bold fish that won their fights tended to be even bolder when later presented with a novel food item; losing their fight caused them to be much more cautious.

Fish also learn by watching others. Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery object were much more nervous when later given a novel item for themselves.

Predictably, shy fish that won a fight also gained more confidence, but surprisingly, shy fish that lost their fights also grew bolder when exploring strange new food, Sneddon said, adding that this could be due to what she calls a “desperado effect”(亡命徒效应).

The new research suggests that animals can gradually adapt(使适应) their personalities. The results agree with the effects that life experience can have on humans.

【1】The third paragraph of the text is mainly about__________.

A.a conclusion of the research

B.an explanation of fish characters

C.a statement of the experiment

D.a description of fish fights

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Brave fish losing fights become braver when presented with a novel food item.

B.Brave fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery get less nervous.

C.Shy fish losing fights grow more confident in exploring new food.

D.Losing their fights causes the shy fish to be much more cautious.

【3】What is the main idea of the text?

A.Fish care about winning or losing a fight

B.Fish can learn a lot by watching others.

C.Fish have stress in the fierce fights.

D.Fish have adaptable personalities.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Life experience could change people’s appearances.

B.Life experience could influence people’s personalities.

C.Life experience doesn’t have any effect on humans.

D.Life experience will make people much stronger.

27、   Big changes in agriculture are taking place in Singapore. The small, Southeast Asian nation is leading a farming revolution, according to the Reuters news agency.

Singapore covers 724 square kilometers of land and only one percent of that land is used for agriculture. Food production costs are higher there than the rest of Southeast Asia. As climate change and population growth threaten food supplies, the pressure is on new farmers to answer the government's call to “grow more with less".

"Whenever 1 talk about food security in Sin gapore, I tell people don't think land —think space, because you can go upwards and sideways." said Paul Teng, an agriculture professor at Nanyang Technological University.

There are more than 30 vertical (垂直的)farms in Singapore — ones that grow up, not across, the land. Sustenir Agriculture is one of these businesses. Its hydroponic (水栽法的) farm grows non-native foods like cherry tomatoes and strawberries inside buildings under artificial lighting. Then it sells the produce to local supermarkets and online stores. Sustenir raised $16 million from investors (投资人)last year. The money will be used to expand operations in Singapore.

However, not everyone thinks the new technology is best. Egg farmer William Ho says the government should not depend so much on agriculture technology businesses. “ Many of them have failed. That's why I'm always asking the government why don't you invest in us old-timers. We are more practical," he said. Professor Paul Teng said an issue for urban farmers is that the high cost of the technology makes their products too pricey for many people .

【1】What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?

A. High food production costs.

B. Reasons for changes in agriculture.

C. Agricultural technology businesses.

D. Sale expansion of food markets

【2】What is the way to achieve food security according to Paul Teng?

A. Exploring up the land. B. Buying more food.

C. Enlarging farmland. D. Investing more money.

【3】What do we know about the old-timers?

A. They work on high-tech farms.

B. They benefit from pricey products.

C. They reduce production costs.

D. They need government support

【4】Where is this text probably taken from?

A. A guidebook. B. A brochure C. A newspaper. D. A journal.

28、A young woman sits down at the piano. Her long flowing brown hair frames a friendly face. And then she begins to sing. Her unexpectedly mature voice attracted everyone in the room. This is Norah Jones, award-winning singer and songwriter.

Norah Jones was born on March 30, 1979, in New York City. She is the daughter of the legendary Rxdyi Shankar, a very famous guitar player; but Norah was brought up entirely by her mother Sue. At 4 years old, she and her mother moved to the Dallas suburb, Texas. Her earliest musical influence came from her mother’s extensive LP collection. She began singing in church choirs at age five, took piano lessons two years later, and briefly played alto saxophone in junior high.

In the course of serving customers and laying tables in a fast restaurant, Jones soon started a band in which she was a lead singer, of course, and played piano as well. In October 2000, the band ambitiously brought a demo to EMI Blue Note Records.

At a meeting with Blue Note president Bruce in the following year, Jones played her three-song tape, hoping to earn a break. Bruce was so impressed with this young girl’s talents that he signed her on the spot. After a year of work, Norah Jones released her debut album, Come Away with Me. Norah Jones has already sold 2.6 million copies of the album, which is 10 times more than any album in Blue Note history. Despite the lack of advertisement, her album was inching its way up the music charts while the debut single Don’t Know Why was climbing up the Adult Top 40 Chart.

The singer already enjoyed a success at the Grammy Awards in 2003, where she picked up five trophies in the major categories(Album of the Year, Record of the Year Trophy for Don’t Know Why, Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Don’t Know Why, and Best Pop Vocal Album). It’s clear that this was only the beginning for Miss Jones.

29、   Older adults with a better sense of smell may live longer than those who have a poor sense of smell, a new study suggests. The study was a project of researchers in the United States that was continuing for over 13 years. They asked nearly 2300 men and women to recognize 12 common smells. All the subjects were from 71 to 82 years of age. The researchers gave the adults marks, from 0 to 12, based on how many smells they recognize correctly.

During the years of follow-up research, over 1200 of the adults died. When the study was started, none of the adults were weak. They could walk about half a kilometre, climb 10 steps and independently complete daily activities. In the latest findings, the researchers noted those with a weak nose were 30% more likely to die than people with a good sense of smell. The findings were reported last month in the scientific publication Annals of Internal Medicine.

Honglei Chen, a doctor with Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, was the lead author of the report on the study. He said the connection between a poor sense of smell and an increased risk of dying was limited to adults who first reported good or excellent health. This suggests that a poor sense of smell is an early and sensitive sign of worsening health before it is recognizable in medical tests. With a poor sense of smell, people are more likely to die of brain and heart diseases, but not of cancer or breathing problems.

The results also suggest that a poor sense of smell may be an early warning of poor health in older age that goes beyond dementia (痴呆) or other neurodegenerative (神经变性的) diseases. These often signal the beginning of the weakening of the mind or body.

【1】What do we know about the study in the passage?

A.All the adults were in their eighties.

B.The adults were young and energetic.

C.The study lasted for more than 13 years.

D.The study involved international researchers.

【2】What was the situation like at the beginning of the study?

A.Over 1200 of the adults passed away.

B.One third of the adults had a poor sense of smell.

C.Many of the adults were found with health problems.

D.All the adults could perform daily activities independently.

【3】What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

A.People with a poor sense of smell have heart disease.

B.Most older people may have breathing-related disease.

C.People with a poor sense of smell won’t suffer from cancer.

D.Older people should be careful with their health if they smell poorly.

【4】What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 1?

A.主题 B.科目

C.实验对象 D.绘画或拍摄题材

30、Making My Own Bicycle

It was a Saturday morning. James and I were at the Bamboo Bicycle Club, ready for our bamboo bicycle building course.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

“Life of Pi” is narrated by an older Pi and takes place in the present as he tells his life story to a writer. Pi begins with how he got his name and how his family owned a zoo, but eventually leads into his family needing to leave India for financial 【1】. The heart of the story lies in Pi as a young man and the time he spent out at sea on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker, but getting to that point is quite an ordeal（苦难考验）. Pi loses everything and everyone close to him in the blink of an eye and he doesn’t 【2】 on making what feels like an unbreakable bond with a Bengal tiger.

The 【3】 film offers a rather marvelous message about religion as Pi discusses the experimentation with several different religions as a young boy. Even though it seems kind of silly that a boy has 【4】 so many religions at one point in his life, it portrays a/an 【5】 message in a light that doesn’t seem too preachy（说教的）. But the religious aspect is really only a backdrop for being on your own 【6】 to finding who you really are. Feeling so alone for so long and having Pi talk about not being alone and not getting to say goodbye to those he cared about most is one of those things that just hits you really hard.

While witnessing Pi attempt to tame Richard Parker is really 【7】, there are so many unbelievable sights to witness in “Life of Pi”. There’s the whale, the jellyfish, the flying fish, that 【8】 storm, and that seaweed island with all of the meerkats (a kind of monkey). “Life of Pi” never really lets up on being 【9】 breathtaking and amazing from beginning to end.

“Life of Pi” is pleasantly satisfying. With a heartfelt message, beautiful visuals, and stunning camera work. “Life of Pi” is truly a sight to behold and illustrates how 【10】 3D can be to a film that isn’t just a summer hit or blockbuster.
