PartⅡReading Comprehension (45 points)
Section A (30 points)
Directions: In this section, there are three passages. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.
Passage One
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage
Temperatures are warming and daylight lasts longer.People who like to garden may be ready to get their hands dirty and start clearing the ground for new plantings.But garden experts warn -- not too fast.
Jessica Damiano is one such expert.She says that removing plant matter too early can disturb important insects not ready for the cool early spring temperatures.In the fall, Damiano explains, she skips cleanup.She lets plant matter remain on the ground.It serves as shelter for insects over winter.In early spring, those insects are still sleeping.Removing the plant matter before the insects begin their life cycles would mean removing them from your garden.Fewer insects mean less food for birds and fewer flowers and vegetables for the gardener.
Damiano says experts do not all agree on the best time to start cleaning the ground and garden area in the spring.But they usually agree to wait until the temperatures are regularly above 10 degrees Celsius.That is when sleeping insects "wake up." Some experts define "regularly" as at least five days in a row.Damiano says she usually waits seven nights.However, even then, she says to keep the plant matter on the ground for another week or so before removing it from your property.This gives any insects that are still "sleeping" enough time to wake up.
Early cleaning of a garden is often followed by early mulching.Applying mulch makes the garden look neat and clean.But Damiano reminds us that soil and plants are not just for show.They are part of a living ecosystem.
Mulch is an important part of a healthy garden.It keeps soil wet, limits the growth of weeds, and helps keep soil temperatures even.But timing is important.Mulching before the soil has warmed enough will keep in the cold and slow the reawakening of the plants.This can also limit their growth.And if the soil is wet, early mulching can lead to mold, mildew, and fungal diseases.Before applying mulch, wait until it is safe to plant annuals and warm-season vegetables in your area.
11. What does the underlined phrase “get their hands dirty” in paragraph1 mean?
A. To take a boring job B. To play dirty tricks
C. To do their gardening D. To sell their vegetables
12. What will happen if the plant matter is removed too early?
A. More flowers will grow in the garden.
B. Some important insects will be taken away
C. More sleeping insects will be eaten by birds
D. The gardener will harvest more vegetables in fall.
13. According to Damiano, when can a gardener start clearing the ground for new plantings?
A. After the flowers come out.
B. After the sleeping insects wake up.
C.Before the temperatures are above 10℃
D.Before the insects begin their life cycles.
14. Damiano thinks that early mulching may____________.
A. make the insects healthy
B. keep soil temperatures uneven
C. restrict the growth of the plants
D. reawaken the plants quickly
15. This passage is probably selected from a____________.
A. fashion magazine B. weather report C.sports newspaper D. gardening
Passage Two
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
The man who made the first call from a wireless phone is now 94 years old.The year was 1973.Martin Cooper operated a large, heavy new communication device on a street in New York City.The device was not physically connected to phone lines.But, Cooper was able to make use of it --- he called a technology business competitor.
Fifty years later, the inventor says he hopes wireless phones can make life better but he also expresses some worries."My most negative opinion is that we don't have any privacy anymore because everything about us is now recorded someplace," Cooper said.And, he says he is concerned about how easily young people can link to harmful online material on their cell phones.Cooper spoke with the Associated Press from Barcelona, Spain, where he attended the Mobile World Congress, the biggest telecom industry trade show.Cooper received an award there for his lifetime of work.
Cooper says he is an optimist.He believes the technology's best days may still be ahead in areas such as education and health care."Between the cellphone and medical technology and the internet, we are going to conquer disease," he said Monday, at the MWC.
Cooper was working for Motorola when he used the Dyna-Tac phone to make a call in April 1973.Things have changed greatly since then.But, he said, "we had no way of knowing this was the historic moment."Cooper said there are still ways for the mobile phone to change.The first one he used weighed over 1 kilogram.Today, they are small.But he thinks one day, they will be more like a part of our body than something we hold.He said perhaps the human body can even power the phones."The human body is the charging station, right?" he asked.The body makes energy from food, he argues, so it could possibly also power a phone.Instead of holding the phone in the hand, for example, the device could be placed under the skin.
Cooper said he also hopes there can be more protection for internet users concerned about privacy and for children.Speaking about privacy concerns, he said: "it's going to get resolved, but not easily."
He also said there should be a special internet for children so they do not run into material made for adults.Cooper said the idea for the mobile phone came from a communication device used by the comic book character DickTracy.The imaginary detective had a wristwatch from which he could make phone calls.
16. According to Paragraph l, Martin Cooper____________.
A. made the first wireless phone call in 1973.
B. invented a device physically linked to phone lines.
C. operated a new communication device 94 years ago.
D. used a wireless phone invented by his business competitor.
17. According to Paragraph 2, Cooper thinks that mobile phones can easily____________.
A. increase business competition.
B. protect the privacy of young people.
C. expose children to harmful online materials.
D. do something harmful to online technology.
18. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The Mobile World Congress.
B. Cooper's contribution to health care.
C. Cooper's call via the Dyna-Tac phone.
D. The award for Cooper's lifetime work.
19. Cooper thinks that the mobile phone in the future may____________.
A. weight over 1 kilogram B. be made of special metals.
C.use energy directly from food. D. be powered by the human body.
20, According to the last paragraph, what does Cooper suggest about protection for children?
A. Providing a special internet for them.
B. B. Offering course on privacy protection
C. Placing the mobile phone under the skin.
D. Allowing them to browse materials for adults.
Passage 3
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
A new study suggests the singing noises made by humpback whales might be a sign of loneliness.Scientists who recorded humpback whale behavior in Australia discovered that fewer whales made the singing noises, also called wailing, as their population grew.
"Humpback whale song is loud and travels far in the ocean," said marine biologist Rebecca Dunlop of the University of Queensland in Brisbane.She has long studied humpback whales and helped lead the new study.Her work has centered on humpbacks that reproduce near Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
Dunlop told The Associated Press she made an unexpected find as whale numbers sharply rose following the end of commercial whaling."It was getting more difficult to actually find singers," she said.Dunlop added, "When there were fewer of them, there was a lot of singing – now that there are lots of them, no need to be singing so much."
Scientists first began to hear and study the complex songs of the humpback whales in the 1970s.They used underwater microphones to do so.Only male whales sing.Scientists think the whales sing to seek mates or show power.
Eastern Australia's humpback whales came close to disappearing in the 1960s, when their number dropped to around 200.But over time the population began to regrow, climbing to about 27,000 whales by 2015.That number is near estimated pre-whaling levels.
As the density of whales increased, their singing behaviors changed.While 2 in 10 males made wailing noises in 2004, 10 years later the number had dropped to 1 in 10, Dunlop said.The team's study appeared in a recent issue of Nature Communications Biology.Dunlop said she thinks singing played a big part in bringing in mates when populations were severely reduced."It was hard just to find other whales in the area, because there weren't many," she added.When humpbacks live in denser populations, males looking for mates also have to deal with competing whales.Dunlop explained the singing noises might bring in other possible mates.Boris Worm is an ocean biologist at Canada's Dalhousie University.He was not involved in the research."As animal populations recover, they change their behavior – they have different constraints," Worm said.
The research suggests the seas are still noisy with humpback whale sounds.Many humpbacks seek to bring in mates with a combination of singing and physical movements, the study notes.
The large increase in the humpback population during the study period provided valuable data about changes in the animals' behavior, said Simon Ingram.He studies humpback whales at the University of Plymouth in Britain.Ingram said humpback whales must have been singers long before whaling reduced their numbers.But the new study demonstrates how necessary their complex and beautiful songs were to their survival and recovery, he added.
21. According to Paragraph 1, humpback whales make singing noises probably to___________.
A. look for food B. attack rivals
C. lead other whales D.express emotions
22. According to Paragraph 2, what can we learn about Dunlop's finding?
A. All the whales are good singers.
B. Humpback whales are too lazy to sing
C.Commercial whaling helps protect the Great Barrier Reef.
D. More humpback whales lead to reduction of singing noises.
23. Why do male humpback whales sing?
A. To help them find mates B. To attract other male whales
C.To resist commercial whaling D. To damage underwater microphones
24.What's probably Dunlop's research field?
A. Ocean biology B.Animal medicine
C. Physical science D.Commercial whaling
25.According to Simon Ingram, humpback whales___________.
A. stop singing after the whaling end in Plymouth
B. rely on their songs for their survival and recovery
C. change their singing behaviors constantly in Britain
D. make more singing noises with the help of scientists
