Unit 1 Cultural Heritage 综合测试
一、阅读理解
In habitats across the planet, animals periodically drop everything to walk, fly or swim to a new place. Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.
Another group of migrators does not quite fit either model, and researchers have only recently started to figure out how they find their way. Take the Cory’s shearwater, an oceangoing sea bird that migrates over the Atlantic every year. The young do not migrate with their parents, so culture cannot explain their journeys. And the exact paths vary wildly from individual to individual, making genetics equally unlikely.
Cory’s shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns. Researchers call this the “exploration-refinement”, and until now it has been hypothetical (假设的) because of difficulties in tracking migratory animals’ movements.
But a team of researchers has done that by attaching small geolocators to more than 150 of the birds aged four to nine. They found that younger birds traveled longer distances, for longer periods, and had more diverse paths than older birds. “We finally have evidence of the ‘exploration-refinement’ for migratory birds,” says Letizia Campioni, who led the study. Younger Cory’s shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults— but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course.
Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei. “It might be safer to repeat a behavior that was recently successful than to rely on patterns that were perfected long ago but might no longer be safe.”

A.They travel as much as adult birds.
B.They move in a predictable manner.
C.They lower the speed for exploration.
D.They look for a course with their parents.
4.What can we conclude from the last paragraph

British scientists have discovered the willow trees planted at an angle could increase sugars for biofuel production.
Willow is a fast-growing species. It is already used to produce fuels for the renewable heating and power market. In future it could also help to produce biofuel to power vehicles. It has been known that when willows growing in the wild are blown sideways, they tend to produce more sugars. But for a while it has not been known why this happens.
Researchers at Imperial College London, led by Dr Nicholas Brereton and Dr Michael Ray of the Department of Life Sciences, have now solved the mystery. When the tree is blown sideways, its genes (基因) produce large numbers of sugar molecules (分子) to straighten the tree upwards.
“This is an important breakthrough. Our study now shows that natural genetic changes are related to these differences. And this could well be the key to unlocking the future for green energy from willow,” said Dr Brereton.
The research was carried out under lab conditions. The willows were grown at an angle of 45 degrees. They were compared to willows which grow naturally straight upwards. The team then looked for the same effect among the willows growing on the Isle of Orkney where strong winds cause the trees to bend at extreme angles. They discovered that the Orkney trees produce five times the amount of sugars found in willows grown in sheltered conditions.
Willow is widely planted across the UK. The results show that biofuel crops such as willows could be grown in climatically changeable conditions where chances of growing food crops are limited.
The study is published in Biotechnology for Biofuels.
5.What may happen when willows are planted in strong winds
A.They stop growing. B.Few sugars are produced.
C.They try to grow sideways. D.Changes in genes take place.
6.The Orkney willows ________.
A.are unusually rich in sugars B.grow naturally straight upward
C.look taller than ordinary willows D.are stronger than those growing in labs
7.Farmers living in changeable climate _______.
A.use biofuel for heating and power B.are encouraged to grow biofuel crops
C.can plant different kinds of food crops D.should make their willows grow straight
8.Where does this passage most probably come from
A.A personal diary. B.A travel magazine.
C.A scientific journal. D.A newspaper advertisement.
Thousands of years ago, Britain was covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live in the United Kingdom. But all this has changed. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixty-five million. Three-quarters of Britain consists of fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. Now, the United Kingdom does not have large wild carnivores (肉食动物). In Scotland, there are only 400 wildcats-Europe's rarest cats-but these are much smaller than wolves.
Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the United Kingdom before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the United Kingdom should be helped to return and live wild. They call this "rewilding".
Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees which originally grew in Scotland have been planted and there are plans for more - but wild animals Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy. So far, there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests - but soon there might be!
9.Which fact directly causes fewer birds living in the British countryside now
A.The increasing population of the UK.
B.Too many fields, towns or cities.
C.The modern ways of farming.
D.Too much hunting.
10.Which of the following statements is wrong
A.No large wild camivores live in the UK at present.
B.Many animals died out and forests were destroyed in the UK.
C.At least one million trees native to Scotland have been planted.
D.So far, no animals have been sent to the wild, except wolves and bears.
11.Why are some people against "rewilding"
A.Introducing large animals to the wild will destroy the newly planted trees.
B.Introducing large animals to the wild will do harm to people.
C.Introducing large animals to the wild needs too much effort.
D.Introducing large animals to the wild will cost a lot of money.

72.In the wild, lions tend to pick on the animals that are weak, old, sick or hurt. Even with the strength of their numbers they will go after the easy prey (捕猎).
The lions picked their prey of choice for this poor Gazelle. The Gazelle, surrounded by lions, looks as if she were crying when the camera closed up on her face.
The lions were faster than the Gazelle, and my goodness they were smart. When the lions got close enough to the Gazelle, even while running at speed, they would trip the running animal.
This Gazelle was moving. When pressure came from a different angle she changed directions. When she could feel the breath of the lions on her neck she changed direction. When they tried to trip her, stop her, trick her, block her, she changed direction. She ran until they stopped chasing after her. It was pointless to the lions. This Gazelle had purpose. She was running for her life.
I do not care what, who, when, where, or how often life tries to take you down a path you have not intended to go. If you feel the pressure and things are not going the way they should, change direction.

参考答案:
1.B 2.C 3.C 4.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对科里海鸥迁徙的模式的研究。
1.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.(像鲸鱼和大雁这样的野生动物通过跟随父母学习迁徙路线。其他鸟类,包括小型鸣禽,在它们的遗传密码中获得了迁徙的距离和方向。一些动物利用遗传和文化的结合来指导它们的迁移)”可知,本段主要讲述动物迁徙的模式。故选B项。
2.词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Cory’s shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns.(科里海鸥的寿命很长,很少能在九岁之前成功产下幼崽。这为学习和实践发展它们的迁移模式提供了机会)”和“Researchers call this the “exploration-refinement”(研究人员称之为“探索-精炼”)”可知,此处指研究人员称这种模式为“探索-精炼”,第三段中划线的this指代的是科里海鸥形成迁徙模式的方式。故选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Younger Cory’s shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults— but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course.(年轻的科里海鸥能够和成年海鸥一样快地飞行,但它们没有,这表明年轻的科里海鸥会进行更多的探索,随着它们成熟并确定了自己喜欢的路线,这种探索逐渐消失)”可知,莱蒂齐亚的研究发现小科里海鸥为了探索降低了它们的飞行速度。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei.(芭芭拉·弗雷说:“尽管它看起来比其他策略效率低,但在一个由于不可预测的人为变化而迅速变化的世界中,探索精炼可能对鸟类和其他生物有益”)”推知,路线探索有助于鸟类的适应能力。故选C项。
5.D 6.A 7.B 8.C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了科学家通过研究发现倾斜种植的柳树可以增加生物燃料生产所需的糖分。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When the tree is blown sideways, its genes (基因) produce large numbers of sugar molecules (分子) to straighten the tree upwards.”及“Our study now shows that natural genetic changes are related to these differences.”可知,当杨柳被吹倾斜时,它的基因会产生大量的糖分子,使树向上伸直,也就是在大风中种植杨柳的基因会发生变化,故D项正确。
6.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“They discovered that the Orkney trees produce five times the amount of sugars found in willows grown in sheltered conditions.”可知,奥克尼柳树生产的糖分是在遮风挡雨条件下生长的柳树的五倍,也就是非常富含糖分,故A项正确。
7.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The results show that biofuel crops such as willows could be grown in climatically changeable conditions where chances of growing food crops are limited”可知,结果表明,生物燃料科作物可以在气候多变、粮食作物生长机会有限的条件下种植,由此可知,生活在气候多变地区的农民被鼓励种植燃料科作物,故B项正确。
8.文章出处题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段可知,本文主要介绍了科学家通过研究发现倾斜种植的柳树可以增加生物燃料生产所需的糖分,属于科学研究范畴,最有可能出现在科学杂志上,故C项正确。
【点睛】文章出处题需要根据文章话题来判断文章来源,因此抓住文章主题句是关键,科普说明文的特点是开篇就点明主题,根据第一段“British scientists have discovered the willow trees planted at an angle could increase sugars for biofuel production.”可知,本文主要介绍了科学家通过研究发现倾斜种植的柳树可以增加生物燃料生产所需的糖分,属于科学研究范畴,最有可能出现在科学杂志上。
9.C 10.D 11.B
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。由于人口的增加,尤其是现代化的农业生产方式,使野生动物正在英国消失。现在开始有人提倡“重新野化”,重新栽植以前存在过的树木,甚至引入一些大型野生动物,比如狼和熊,但有人对引进这些野生动物表示怀疑。
9.细节理解题。根据第一段Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before.可知,尽管英国25%的土地是田野,但是新的农业生产方式意味着生活在田野里的鸟类和小动物比以前更少了。由此可知现代化的农业生产方式直接导致了现在英国乡下的鸟类更少了。故选C。
10.推理判断题。根据最后一段So far, there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests - but soon there might be!可知,到目前为止英国的森林里还没有狼和狗熊,所以D项表述错误。故选D。
11.推理判断题。根据最后一段Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans.可知,有些人担心狼将会攻击人类。由此可以推断出一些人反对向野外引入大型动物,担心会伤害到人类,故选B。
12.G 13.F 14.D 15.A 16.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了养宠物给孩子们带来的益处。
12.设空句在第一段段末,应是具有承前启后的作用。结合前文“Parents usually think of all the work and responsibility having a pet could bring about.(父母通常会考虑养宠物可能带来的所有工作和责任。)”可知,主题为“允许孩子饲养宠物”,且后文“Teach responsibility.(教导责任。)”,“Encourage exercise.(鼓励锻炼。)”则讲到了允许孩子饲养宠物的好处,因此,设空句既要包含主题,也要对后文起到引领的作用。选项G“However, allowing kids to keep a pet can teach you both some important lessons.(然而,让孩子们养宠物可以给你们俩上一些重要的课。)”贴合主题,与前文构成转折关系,在句意上也引领了后文,符合分析。故选G项。
13.根据后文“Give your child a sense of responsibility by having them help meet these needs, whether they feel like it that day or not.(让你的孩子帮助满足这些需求,让他们有责任感,无论他们当天是否愿意。)”中提及的“these needs”可推知,设空句应是提及了宠物们的需求。选项F“All pets need to be fed, given fresh water, and exercised regularly.(所有的宠物都需要喂食、饮用淡水和定期锻炼。)”阐述了具体的需求,且“need”符合词汇复现原则。故选F项。
14.前文“If you’ve ever been forced to keep up with a young dog or cat, you know how tiring it can be!(如果你曾经被迫跟上一只年幼的狗或猫,你就知道这有多累!)”提及“你”已经知道饲养宠物的劳累,后文“By encouraging your child to play with his or her pet, both of them will get the exercise they need to sleep soundly and live healthy and happy lives.(通过鼓励你的孩子和他或她的宠物一起玩耍,他们两个都会得到所需的锻炼,从而睡得安稳,过上健康快乐的生活。)”则讲到“你”可以利用这种“劳累”和“锻炼”帮助孩子睡得好,且保持健康和快乐,由此可推知,设空句应是转折句。选项D“But you can use the pet’s energy to your advantage.(但你可以利用宠物的能量)”为转折句,在句意上“advantage”呼应后文“sleep sound and live healthy and happy lives”,符合分析。故选D项。
15.设空为该段小标题,应是主旨句。根据后文关键词“an essential first step toward developing lifelong empathy for others(这是培养终身对他人的同理心必不可少的第一步)”,“Learning how to be a good friend with a pet will teach one how to be more open and friendly to other people as well.(学习如何与宠物成为好朋友,也会教会一个人如何对他人更加开放和友好。)”可知,该部分主要强调了饲养宠物有助于帮助孩子友好对待他人。选项A“Treat others well.(善待他人。)”贴合该段主旨。故选A项。
16.根据该段小标题“Be practical.(实事求是。)”可知,该段强调饲养宠物的客观事实,因此,设空句应涉及“事实”,且对比前文讲到的好处,那么设空句应讲到“不好”。选项E“Also, some pets can be very aggressive with children.(此外,一些宠物对孩子也很有攻击性。)”讲述了宠物有可能具有攻击性这一事实,符合分析。故选E项。
17.C 18.A 19.D 20.B 21.A 22.C 23.A 24.D 25.B 26.C 27.B 28.D 29.A 30.C 31.B

72.What the passage conveys is that we should change direction flexibly while going through challenges and even dangers in our life, which is of significance to our development and success.
It is necessary for us to change direction at the right moment. Following the wrong path stubbornly, we may waste a lot of time and energy, with which we could otherwise achieve a lot. More importantly, we may lose some precious opportunities in life if we don’t adapt ourselves to different situations in time.
In our daily life, there are many cases like what Gazelle experienced, in which we suffer failures because we haven’t changed direction in time. For instance, if we analyze some very difficult problems from different angles in our study, we can solve them more easily. Therefore, to run for my life I will change direction when I’m stuck in the things life throws at me.
