3、DyslexiaAs many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disｏｒｃｅｒcalled dyslexia.Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not disease. They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way. One of the world\'s great thinkers ａｎｄ　scientists, Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do. He said that he thought in pictures instead. The American inventｏｒThomas Edison was also dyslexic. Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe ａｎｄ　the United States more than 80 year ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disｏｒｃｅｒwere not mentally slow ｏｒdisabled. The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different. In most people, the left side of the brain, the part that controls language is larger than the right side. In persons with dyslexia, the right’ side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference. However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males that in females, ａｎｄ　it is found more often in persons who are left-handed. No one knows the cause of dyslexia, but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby\'s body long before it is born. They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently ａｎｄ　need special kinds of teaching help. After they have solved their problems with language, they often show themselves to be especially intelligent ｏｒcreative.Dyslexic people often turn out to be intelligent ｏｒcreative once they have learned to handle language properly.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

5、A Strong Greenhouse Gas1 Methane is a colorless, odorless gas; it is also a potent greenhouse gas, ａｎｄ　once released into the atmospheres, it absorbs beat radiating from Earth\'s surface. That\'s why methane is a majｏｒcontributｏｒto the planet\'s increasing temperature rise ｏｒglobal warming. Molecule fｏｒmolecule, methane\'s heat-trapping power in the atmosphere is 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas.2 With 13 billion cows belching almost constantly around the world (100 million in the U. S. alone), it\'s no surprise that menace released by livestock is one of the chief sources of the gas. Other prime methane sources: petroleum, drilling, coal mining, solid-waste landfills ａｎｄ　wetlands.3 Greenhouse gases like methane ａｎｄ　carbon dioxide make up only a small part of Earth\'s atmosphere, which is 78 percent nitrogen ａｎｄ　nearly 21 percent oxygen. ａｎｄ　without greenhouse gases to trap the sun\'s heat ａｎｄ　warm the planet, life as we know it couldn\'t exist. But in the last200 years, human activity that requires burning oil, natural gas, ａｎｄ　coal fｏｒenergy has magnified the greenhouse effect.4 Atmospheric concentrations of methane have more than doubled in the last two centuries. Blame fｏｒthis often focuses on big industries ａｎｄ　gas-guzzling vehicles. But agriculture plays a majｏｒrole, too. In the past 40 years alone, the global cattle population has doubled.5 Cows munch mostly grasses ａｎｄ　hay yet they grow big ａｎｄ　hefty. Why? Because of the rumen. The rumen holds 160 liters of food ａｎｄ　billions of microbes. These microscopic bacteria ａｎｄ　protozoa break down cellulose ａｎｄ　Fiber into digestible nutrients. A cow couldn\'t live without its microbes. As the microbes digest cellulose, trey release methane. The process occurs in all animals with a rumen (cows, sheep, ａｎｄ　goats, fｏｒexample), ａｎｄ　it makes them very gassy. It\'s part of their normal digestion process. When they drew their cud, they regurgitate some food to rechew it, ａｎｄ　all this gas comes out. The average cow expels 600 liters of methane a day.That\'s why we say livestock gas is also a majｏｒfactｏｒof causing the global warming.Paragraph 2 ____【单选题】

A.Life of Macroscopic Bacteria in Livestock\'s Rumen

B.Ways to Reduce Methane\'s Heat-trapping Power

C.Agriculture Also Contributes to Increased Concentrations of Methane in the Atmosphere

D.Why Livestock Releases Methane

E.Methane as a Strong Greenhouse Gas

F.Livestock as a Prime Factｏｒof the Greenhouse Effect

正确答案:F

答案解析:本段要表达的中心意思是：livestock排出的甲烷也是温室效应的一个主要源头。

6、Houses of the FutureWhat will houses be like after thirty years? No one really knows, but architects are trying to predict. What will our home be like then?Future houses will have to be flexible. some of us will be working from home.

9、Travel Across AfricaFｏｒsix hours we shot through the barren (荒芜的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks ａｎｄ　sａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel ａｎｄ　I just wanted to remember all we had seen ａｎｄ　done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks ａｎｄ　was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I\'d bought in a market in Mozambique.Southern Africa was full of stories ａｎｄ　visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring (咆哮) of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.ａｎｄ　then the other things, dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto livng in one room, a kilometre from clean water.As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty ａｎｄ　we hadn\'t seen another car fｏｒhours. ａｎｄ　as I drove, something caught my eye. Something moved close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn\'t know how long they had been there next to us.I shouted to Dan: "Look!" But he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car fｏｒa few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened."Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn\'t you wake me up, Sophia?""I tried, but they were gone after a few seconds.""Are you sure you didn\'t dream it?""You were the one who was sleeping!""Typical," he said, "The best photos are the ones we never take."We checked into a dusty hotel ａｎｄ　slept the sleep of the dead.Daniel ａｎｄ　Sophia drove slowly through the barren desert.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题较难，有相当数量考生做错了。本题的关键词和信号词是shot through，和barren，好多考生没有认真体会shoot的引申意思，shoot除了有“射击，拍摄”等意思外，还有一个引申意思“飞驰，飞快移动”，该题的一个出题点是确认代词we在文章中的指代意义，另一个出题点是理解单词shot在文章中的意义。考生要注意重点研究。

10、African wild dogFinding a babysitter while you go out to work is, fｏｒexample, an inconvenience. Fｏｒthe African wild dog, one of the continent\'s most endangered carnivores （食肉动物), it\'s a matter of life ａｎｄ　death. A new research shows that once packs (兽群) fall below a certain size, they are not enough animals to both hunt food ａｎｄ　stay at home protecting the young.The African wild dog has declined drastically over the past century. Habitual loss (栖息地的丧失), persecution ａｎｄ　unexplained outbreaks of disease have all been blamed. Only 3, 000 to5,000 animals remain, ａｎｄ　the species is expected to go extinct within decades if the trend continues.Other large carnivores such as the spotted hyena (鬣狗) face similar pressures, yet are not declining. Now Franck Courchamp of Cambridge University has found a reason why. The dog\'s weakness lies in its social organization.Within each pack of up to 20 adults ａｎｄ　pups, only the dominant male ａｎｄ　female breed. The remaining animals help raise the pups, cooperating to hunt prey ａｎｄ　defend the kill from other carnivores.Because pups can\'t keep up on a hunt, large packs leave an adult behind to protect them from predators (捕猎者), which include lions ａｎｄ　hyenas. But leaving a babysitter also carries costs. A smaller hunting party is less able to tackle large prey ａｎｄ　to defend the kill. There is also one less stomach in which to carry food back to the den, ａｎｄ　one more mouth to feed when they get there.Courchamp investigated this awkward trade-off (权衡) by modeling how the costs of a babysitter change with decreasing pack size. This showed that packs of more than five adults should be able to feed all the pups ａｎｄ　still spare a babysitter. But with smaller packs, either the hunting ｏｒthe babysitting suffers, ｏｒthe animals have to compensate by increasing the number of hunting excursions which itself carries a cost to the pack.Field observations in Zimbabwe supported the model. Packs of five animals ｏｒfewer left pups unguarded more frequently than larger packs did. There was also evidence that when they did leave a babysitter, they were forced to hunt more often.A pack which drops below a critical size becomes caught in a vicious circle (恶性循环), says Courchamp, who is now at Paris-Sud University. "Poｏｒreproduction ａｎｄ　low survival further reduces pack size, culminating in (最终造成) failure of the whole pack. " ａｎｄ　deaths caused by human activity, says Courchamp, may be what reduce pack numbers to below the sustamable threshold. Mammal ecologist Chris Carbone at London\'s Institute of Zoology agrees. Maintaining the integrity of wild dog packs will be vitalin preserving the species, he says.The size of a pack must be big enough fｏｒit to survive.【单选题】
