The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year's Eve to collect firewood.Expecting a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just long johns (秋裤), a shirt and slippers when he went outside, although the temperature was around－4 ℃.
After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow.Fortunately, Kelsey came to his assistance.
“I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was 10：30 pm，” Bob explained.“But my Kelsey came.By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn't yell for help, but Kelsey didn't stop barking.”
Bob's companion kept him warm by laying on top of him.She licked his face and hands to keep him awake.“Kelsey kept barking but never left my side，” Bob recalled.“She kept me warm.I knew I couldn't give up and that it was my choice to stay alive.”
Bob spent 19 hours in the freezing cold.When he finally lost consciousness, his dog kept barking.Finally, hearing the barking, Bob's neighbor discovered him at 6：30 p．m.on New Year's Day and called the emergency services at once.When Bob arrived in hospital, his body temperature was below 21 ℃.However, doctors were surprised to find that he didn't have any frostbite (冻疮)．They believed it was because of Kelsey's determination to keep him warm.Dr.Chaim Colen, the doctor who treated Bob, said, “Animals can help and his dog really saved him ... he was very fortunate.”

Scientists have always been interested in the high level of organization in ant societies.American researchers have watched ants build life saving rafts to keep afloat during floods.They also have recorded how ants choose their next queen — the female whose job is to produce eggs.
New technology is helping to improve researchers' understanding of the insects.But there is still a lot to be learned.
Fire ants living in Brazilian forests are perfectly at home in an environment where flooding is common.To save themselves, the insects connect their legs together and create floating rafts.Some ant rafts can be up to 20 centimeters wide.
David Hu is an engineer with the Georgia Institute of Technology, also known as Georgia Tech, saying，“If you have 100 ants, which means 600 legs, 99 percent of those legs will be connected to a neighbor.So they're very, very good at keeping this network.”
David Hu and other Georgia Tech researchers wanted to study ants and the secret of their engineering.They froze ant rafts and then looked at them with the help of computed technology, or CT images.The pictures showed that larger ants serve in central positions to which smaller ants hold.The larger ants create pockets of air that keep the insects afloat.
Scientists say small robots or materials that can change shape could be programmed in a similar way, working towards a shared goal.
Researchers at North Carolina State University are also studying ants.They examined how Indian jumping ants choose the leader of the colony when they lose their top female or queen.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了蚂蚁是一种强大的生物，拥有有效的求生技能。科学家对巴西的火蚂蚁进行了研究，发现它们可以结成筏子在洪水里自救，并研究了它们的自救原理。

B．Ants know the way to join together closely.
C．Ants know the way to look for each other.
D．Ants know the way to build a large raft.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第四段中David Hu说的话可知，如果有100只蚂蚁，就意味着有600条腿，其中99%的腿将与邻居相连，所以它们非常善于维持这个网。由此可以判断出，David Hu 说的话解释了蚂蚁可以把自己的腿连接在一起形成一个网，这是蚂蚁在洪水里自救的方法。故选B。
10．Why did the larger ants serve in central positions in their ant rafts
A．To stress their importance.
B．To help all the ants float.
C．To fight against the enemies.

A remarkable variety of insects live on this planet.Insects have survived on earth for more than 300 million years, and may possess the ability to survive for millions more.
Insects can be found almost everywhere — on the highest mountains, in the cold South Pole and in bubbling hot springs.They dig through the ground, jump and sing in the trees, and run and dance in the air.They come in many different colors and various shapes.Insects are extremely useful to humans, pollinating (授粉) our crops as well as flowers in meadows, forests, deserts and other areas.But some insects, such as mosquitoes and fleas, can transmit disease.
There are many reasons why insects are so successful at surviving.Their amazing ability to adapt permits them to live in extreme ranges of temperatures and environments.They can survive on a wide range of natural and artificial foods — paint, books, grain, plants and animals.Because they are small, they can hide in tiny spaces.
A strong, hard but flexible shell covers their soft organs and is resistant to chemicals, water and physical impact.Their wings give them the option of flying away from dangerous situations or toward food or mates.Also, insects have an enormous reproductive capacity: An African ant queen can lay as many as 43,000 eggs a day.
Another reason for their success is the strategy of protective color.An insect may be right before our eyes, but nearly invisible because it is cleverly disguised (伪装) like a green leaf, lump of brown soil, a seed or some other natural objects.Some insects use bright, bold colors to send warning signals that they taste bad.Others have wing patterns that look like the eyes of a huge predator, confusing their enemies.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了昆虫能在地球上存活数百万年的原因。
12．What does the underlined word “transmit” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Cure. B．Catch.
C．Prevent. D．Spread.
解析：选D 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的Insects are extremely useful to humans, pollinating(授粉)our crops as well as flowers in meadows, forests, deserts and other areas.可知，昆虫对人类极其有用，它们给我们的庄稼以及草地、森林、沙漠和其他地区的花朵授粉。画线词所在句中的but表明前后句意发生转折，说明有些昆虫对人类有害，会传播疾病，故可推测画线词transmit是spread(传播)的意思。
13．How can the insects protect themselves from chemicals
A．Have a strong shell.
B．Fly away when necessary.
C．Hide in tiny spaces.
D．Change colors or shapes.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的A strong, hard but flexible shell covers their soft organs and is resistant to chemicals, water and physical impact.可知，昆虫有一个坚固的外壳，保护自己免受化学物质的侵害。故选A。
14．Why do some insects disguise like natural objects
A．To look bad tasting.
B．To send warning signals.
C．To avoid being discovered.
D．To frighten away their enemies.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的An insect may be right before our eyes, but nearly invisible because it is cleverly disguised (伪装) like a green leaf, lump of brown soil, a seed or some other natural object.可知，昆虫可能就在我们眼前，但我们却看不到它，因为它巧妙地伪装成绿叶、褐色土壤、种子或其他自然物体。故选C。

Pinpoint (定位) your location.
Take a good look around.What do you see 17 ， pinpointing your location will be difficult.If possible, find higher ground, giving yourself a better view of the surroundings.Otherwise, you may end up walking directionless and possibly in circles.
18 .
While traveling through the wilderness, be observant.Look for old campsites, fishing line, food bags, cigarette ends, plastic water bottles, or any other kind of litter.If you find any such evidence, examine your surroundings to determine which way they went.
If possible, stick to open country.
19 .This type of terrain (地带) is often a result of farming or logging (伐木), which may put you closer to other people.Plus, being out in the open makes it easier for you to be spotted by a low flying aircraft.Be sure to have something ready to signal with in case a rescue plane flies nearby.
Travel downhill.
If you are lost in hilly terrain, your best choice is almost always to travel downhill.People tend to settle in valleys, usually close to water. 20 ， head down and out of the mountains.Besides, you can cover more terrain and conserve energy traveling downhill.
A．Find your way out
B．Look for signs of people
C．If the answer is a thick forest
D．Sometimes, it's not easy to find open country
E．Suddenly, you don't recognize your surroundings
F．Unless you have seen signs of people at higher places

16．选E 根据空后Nor can you tell the direction from which you've come.中的nor可知，本空含有否定意义的词。E项(突然间，你认不出周围的环境了)符合语境。
17．选C 根据空前句What do you see？可知，C项中the answer能够回答空前句。
18．选B 根据全文结构来看，此空应选择一个段落小标题。根据后文While traveling through the wilderness, be observant.Look for old campsites, fishing line, food bags, cigarette ends, plastic water bottles, or any other kind of litter.可知，此处是在寻找人的迹象。B项(寻找人的踪迹)可以概括下文内容。
19．选G 根据段落小标题If possible, stick to open country.可知，G项中open country和小标题内容相呼应，且G项(在野外旅行是发现文明迹象的好方法)承接上文，交代了去open country的好处。
20．选F 根据空前If you are lost in hilly terrain, your best choice is almost always to travel downhill.可知，如果你在丘陵地带迷路，你最好的选择就是往低处走。F项(除非你在高处看到人的迹象)能顺承上下文。

C．dark D．long
解析：选C 根据上文中的it was absolutely black inside可知，隧道里面一片漆黑，因此此处是指“生活中的黑暗(dark)隧道”，故C项正确。

语篇解读：本文是音乐家、环保主义者Chuck Leavell正式加入Treehugger时写给Treehugger的一封信。他介绍了自己及开始种树的原因和初衷，并希望在正式成为Treehugger一员后可以做出更多贡献。
36．was integrated 分析句子结构可知，此处在which引导的定语从句中作谓语，结合时间状语the other day可知，本句时态应该用一般过去时；此处表示Mother Nature Network被整合到Treehugger，故此处用被动语态；而从句主语which指代Mother, Nature Network，为第三人称单数，所以填was integrated。
37．officially 分析句子结构可知，空处作状语，应用副词形式，所以填officially。
38．an 根据语境可知，此处表示泛指，应用不定冠词修饰，又ambassador的发音以元音音素开头，所以填an。
39．Knowing 分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作状语，know和逻辑主语we之间为主谓关系，注意首字母大写，所以空处填Knowing。
40．what 分析句子结构可知，此处为“疑问词＋不定式”结构，作knowing的宾语，此处表示我们不是十分清楚怎样处理它，故空处应该填what。
41．sustainable 分析句子成分可知，空处应为形容词，修饰后面的名词forestry，所以填sustainable。
42．courses 此处course意为“课程”，为可数名词。根据空前的various可知，空处应用名词复数，所以填courses。
43．contributing look forward to doing sth为固定用法，意为“盼望做某事”，所以空处填contributing。
44．have been/am 分析句子结构可知，此处作谓语动词，结合时间状语all this time可知，此处既可以用一现在时，表示自己的身份，也可以使用现在完成时，表示自己从过去开始到现在一直都是Treehugger的粉丝；另外，由于主语为I，所以空处填have been或am。
45．for have a passion for sth为固定表达，意为“酷爱……”，符合语境，所以填for。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was a single mother of four children, working at a low paid job.Money was always valuable, but we had a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our backs.I always tell myself to be brave and strong, just for my four children.I hope all my efforts would be worthwhile, as long as my children can grow up healthily.It was Christmas time.We drove downtown to see the Christmas lights, and enjoyed a special dinner, but the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping at the mall.This was a tradition of my family, so they all looked forward to the coming of the season.They talked and planned for weeks ahead of time, asking each other what they wanted for Christmas.
The big day arrived and we started out early.I gave each other of the four kids a twenty dollar bill and asked them to search for gifts.Then everyone scattered (分散开) with the bill.I sat at a table in a cafe waiting for my children and enjoying an instant of silence.It must be a happy day.
Back in the car driving home, everyone was excited about Christmas, laughing and asking each other about what they had bought.I noted Ginger, my younger daughter had only one small and flat bag with her.I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars — fifty cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty dollar bill I had given her I was so angry.After getting home, I called her into my bedroom and closed the door.I couldn't hold back my anger and shouted at her, “What about the rest of the money No one would be convinced all these candies are worth 20 dollars.What do you want to do with the rest of the money？”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

She was shocked at my reaction and burst into tears.
My anger disappeared.
参考范文：
She was shocked at my reaction and burst into tears.She told me that she was looking around, wondering what to buy.Suddenly, she saw an old lady in ragged clothes.It seemed that the old lady was homeless.It was Christmas.She thought the old lady needed a gift as well.So she took out her money to buy a pair of warm boots for her.Though she only left herself some candy bars, she felt that it was worthwhile.
My anger disappeared.Never had I thought my daughter had her own idea to help others.I felt regretful that I shouted at her.How I wish I had listened to her explanation.I said, “Oh, dear, it is your own right to do with the money.Whatever you do, I should be supportive.Forgive me！” She said nothing but to smile at me.I had never felt so rich as I did that day.
