A
At just 19 years old, Aki a Peters teaches at a college.He specializes in a language that is thousands of years old, the Dakota language, spoken by the Dakota people.
“The Dakota language is ‘the most important aspect’ of Dakota culture.Without it, our Dakota culture would no longer exist，” Peters claimed.“I was lucky to grow up around many first-language Dakota speakers.But now the elderly continually passed away and at the end of their lives, they just wanted to know their families would continue to have the language.One of the problems our people have is finding ways to get at-length and consistent exposure to the language.”
Aside from giving instruction at the college level, Peters uses social media to share videos that integrate humor, culture, and basic-level conversation to help teach Dakota.In his free time, he visits Dakota elders.He also started an online group of the youth to converse and share the knowledge of the language in a safe and supportive space.
Aki a Peters wants to tell the youth that if they want to learn their own language, sit with their elders and learn from them.Endless vocabulary sheets could discourage them from learning.Standards created by non-speakers could also do that.“Within the next decade, I assume, I, my colleagues, and other Dakota-learning relatives will have children and start a new generation of Dakota.I also hope my brothers and sisters will take the path we laid out for them and continue to learn and speak Dakota.On my reservation there are numerous young people working on the comeback of the language.I'm hopeful because I'm definitely not alone，” Aki a Peters told Teen Vogue.

Betty Schrampfer Azar is a world-famous expert on teaching English grammar. Here are some of her opinions.
Why do students need to learn grammar？When teachers are deciding which grammar points to teach, they should first ask two questions.First, will understanding the point help students be understood and will it help them understand better？Next, will learning the grammar point help students be acceptable as English speakers
People usually think that grammar is all about memorizing rules.In fact, grammar is not just learning rules.It is a way to help students along the way to communication.Teachers should know that students do not all learn in the same way.Each may have a different learning style when it comes to learning grammar.Some may see a pattern and understand the rule.Others need explanations and more practice.“But to teach grammar as subject matter and test it as though you were testing the memorization of dates in history is sure to bore everybody and not to reach the goals that you are trying to reach — successful communication experiences，” she says.
Why do some teachers hate teaching grammar？Many teachers are not comfortable teaching grammar because they do not know how to answer their students' questions.“Most native speakers of English don't learn it in school，” she says.“If you don't know any grammar of your own language and then you are asked to teach it, it's possible that your students may know more grammar than you and you can't answer their questions.”
Can teaching grammar really be fun？Teachers should learn to make the teaching of grammar fun.She says，“My students enjoy learning grammar as much as I enjoy teaching it.I think grammar is fascinating.It holds language together.It is really beautiful when you get to know it.Grammar is quite a remarkable (非凡的) thing.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了语法专家Betty Schrampfer Azar对学生学习语法和老师教语法的一些看法。

C．Learning rules. D．Practice.

Throughout my life, there is one teacher who really impresses me. __8__.
My time in 8th grade felt like forever because I just wanted to be in high school already.In math class I just wanted to sleep, in science class I wanted to cry, and in social studies I would wish for it to be over, but English class would just make up for the whole day.Mrs Thomas would actually make me want to stay awake in her class.It was like she actually understood us and knew how to keep our full attention.Every day I couldn't wait to go to her class. __9__. You could talk to her like she was your friend and not your boss.
__10__. For example, in the beginning of the year she made us take pictures of ourselves and write goals of what we wanted for the school year.Every day, when you came into class, you would look at your goals and see if you had achieved any; it was pretty smart.I remember she also made us write a letter to ourselves in the beginning of the year.We opened them at the end of the year to see how much we had changed.It was like she was trying to push us to be able to complete those goals, so that later on in life we could use that ability again. __11__. If you wanted an A, you had to work for that A.
Mrs Thomas not only helped me get ready for high school but also really prepared me for life in the future. __12__.
A．The following is a class she taught us

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A human heart is so much more than an organ.No one says he left his pancreas (胰腺) in San Francisco, for example, or that two kidneys (肾脏) beat as one.Yet most of us believe that two hearts can beat as one, and that the heart reveals our real emotions.Now there's some evidence that such _folk_wisdom is true.
When people listen to the same story — each alone in their own home — their heart rates rise and fall together, according to a new study published last month in Cell Reports.Professor Lucas Perra, a senior author of the study, said, “It's the story that drives the heart.”
This finding corresponds with a mountain of research showing that our brains synchronize (同步) when we interact in the same location or participate in the same activity.The new study goes one step further; it tests whether our heart rates become synchronized while we are taking in the same narrative — even though we're not in the same room nor even listening at the same time as other listeners.
Marcel Proust wrote at the turn of the 20th century, “The heart does not lie.” Data tells us much the same: The heart's connection with the brain is so tight that when we hear the same story, our heart rates synchronize.Subjects in the same group produced synchronized heart rate patterns that rose and fell at roughly the same times during the narrative.
“The results are heartwarming，” said Prof.Perra.“Heart rate correlation (关联) between subjects does not require them to actually be interactive or even be in the same place.It' s not the interaction between people but the story itself that does the trick.”
The point, he said, is that when we listen to the same radio program or watch the same TV show, our hearts beat together, showing that “we're not alone”．
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明，在听同样的故事时，人们的心率会大致相同，即使听者不在同一个房间或者同样的时间，也会拥有同样频率的心跳。
1．What does the underlined expression “folk wisdom” refer to in the first paragraph
A．Kidneys beat like hearts.
B．Hearts are important organs.
C．A human heart conveys feelings.
D．Organs have close links with emotions.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Yet most of us ...our real emotions.”可知，大部分人认为心灵揭示我们真实的情感，故folk wisdom指代这一观点。
2．What can we learn from the new study in Cell Reports
A．People like listening to the same story in separate places.
B．Humans' brains synchronize when driven by different stories.
C．People tested in the same group have the same heart rates.
D．The same story can make listeners have the same heart rates.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的 “When people listen ...and fall together”可知，同样的故事能使听者有同样的心率。
3．What's the author's purpose of writing this article
A．To report a research finding.
B．To argue against an opinion.
C．To tell readers a moving story.
D．To call for immediate action.
解析：选A 写作意图题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究发现：人的心脏不仅仅是一个器官，还能反映人的情感。据此可知，本文旨在介绍一项新的研究发现。
Ⅱ.完形填空

Ⅲ.语法填空
Lexie Alford recently became the youngest person to travel to every country in the world.By the age of 21, she has visited all the countries in an effort to challenge __1__ (she) and push the envelope of __2__ she believed was possible for a female traveller.
Lexie __3__ (primary) used planes, boats, and trains to get around.It was not all plain sailing and there were many difficulties Lexie met, including __4__ (arrange) visas to enter some countries.But the challenges __5__ (outweigh) by the memorable experiences on her way.“There're so many incredible experiences that can come out of travelling alone because you are more open to the connections with the __6__ (local) than you would be in a big group，” she said.
Lexie had the pleasure of meeting __7__ variety of people and experiencing different cultures.But the most __8__ (value) experience of all was discovering a new sense of independence, she said.
For Lexie, nothing beats travelling, which she described __9__ her favourite part of being alive.“__10__ I would be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying taking time over the past year to recover from all the wear and tear I had done to my body over the past three years，” she added.
语篇解读：Lexie Alford成为史上最年轻的环游世界的女性。旅行中她遇到种种困难和挑战，但与旅行的快乐相比，这些困难和挑战不值一提。
1．herself 考查代词。该句表示她环游各国，挑战自己。主语是she，故填herself。
2．what 考查宾语从句。该句表示她突破了她认为的对女性旅行者来说可能的极限。she believed是插入语，从句中缺少主语。故填what。
3．primarily 考查副词。该句表示她主要使用飞机、船和火车出行。修饰动词应用副词。故填primarily。
4．arranging 考查非谓语动词。空前讲述她遇到很多困难，包括办签证。including是介词，后应用动名词。故应填arranging。
5．were outweighed 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。该句表示挑战与她在途中的难忘的经历相比不值一提。此处描述过去发生的事情且主语challenges与outweigh之间为被动关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，又因主语challenges为复数形式，故填 were outweighed。
6．locals 考查名词复数。分析句子结构并根据句意可知，此空应用名词，意为“当地人”，local作“当地人”讲时，常用复数。故填locals。
7．a 考查冠词。a variety of是固定短语，意为“种种；各种”。故填a。
8．valuable 考查形容词。空后的experience是名词，意为“经历，体验”，故其前应用形容词修饰。故填valuable。
9．as 考查介词。describe sb./sth.as sth.是固定搭配，意为“把……称为……”。故填as。
10．But 考查连词。空前讲Lexie十分喜欢旅行，并把旅行描述成“活着的最喜欢的事儿”，空后讲述如果Lexie说她不享受用过去一年的时间来恢复过去三年对身体的磨损，那就是说她在撒谎。由此可知，空后内容是从反面来说明Lexie十分喜欢旅行，故前后句构成转折关系。故填But。Module 2 课下主题训练 未来职业发展趋势，个人职业倾向、

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Sometimes a book comes along that isn't just “interesting” or “well done” — it's a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you.A book like that for me was released last week.It's called 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul.
Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, printing newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.
As I often accumulate random knowledge, certain entries on the list — Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor Is — hit_me_where_I_live;_remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds.
On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to the pile.What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the collected set is significant.It's a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then.
Obviously, Paul isn't saying that everything back then was better.Time marches on, after all, and it's tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives.But that isn't really the point.It's not about whether it used to be better.It's that it used to be different.
100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul's memories and experience.We remember what it was like and we like to remember.The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology's advancement continues apace.This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost.
1．What is the purpose of the text
A．To review and recommend a good read.
B．To comment on the effect of the Internet.
C．To argue for the viewpoint of a new book.
D．To urge the readers to value what they have.
解析：选A 写作意图题。根据文章内容尤其是第一段的描述可知，一本好书似乎就像作者走进你的心灵，专为你而著。对于作者来说，上周出版的《被网络夺走的100种事物》就是这样的一本好书。由此可知，作者是在评论一本好书。下面的内容都是在介绍此书，故本文的写作目的是对这本好读物的评论和推荐。
2．Which might be entries on Paul's list
A．Maps and Eye Contact.
B．E-pay and Compact Disks.
C．Postcards and Homeschooling.
D．Photos and Washing Machines.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句中的“Paul lists 100 ...taken over completely”可知，Paul所列的100种事物是我们过去常做的，但被现在的网络改变或完全夺走的事物，故A项(地图和目光交流)可能进入Paul的列表中。
3．What do the underlined words “hit me where I live” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Prove what I'm good at.
B．Introduce how I grew up.
C．Describe the place I live in.
D．Speak out what is on my mind.
解析：选D 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“it's a book ... for you”和第三段中的“As I often accumulate ...hit me where I live”可知，作者认为一本好书的作者似乎就在洞察你的内心，由于作者经常积累不认识的知识，故入选该书的某些事物吸引了作者，由此可推知，Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor Is应该是说出了作者的内心。
4．What conclusion has the author drawn after reading Paul's book
A．Things in the past are better.
B．There're no gains without pains.
C．The Internet is a double-edged sword.
D．Technology is constantly changing the world.
解析：选D 推理判断题。 根据最后一段中的“The landscape has ... continues apace.”可知，作者认为局面已经变化了，并且毫无疑问的是随着科技的迅速进步，局面将再次发生变化。故可推知读完这本书后作者认为科技在不断地改变着世界。

Tips to Create Great Readers
Are great readers born or are they made Obviously, children don't enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction.__5__.Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit.
__6__.The most important moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits.Intervene (干预) with a question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character？” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place.
Build habits at the moment of writing. Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others.__7__.For example, children can first have a discussion about what they're reading by answering a focus question in writing：“What is the author trying to teach us in this story？”Then, you can review their written responses.__8__.
Build habits at the moment of reading. Independent reading time is important for any reading program.It's a chance for children to put together everything they've learned in reading lessons and fly using their own wings.__9__.So providing a rich class library and letting children know that they are expected to read for the entire period will bring about their success as lifelong independent readers.
A．Build habits at the moment of error (错误)
B．Make sure children fall in love with reading
C．They grow into great readers by learning great habits
D．But it only works if they really do spend that time reading
E．Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time
F．Specific (特定的) lines or phrases from the text help to show that information
G．By doing this, you can better understand what guidance the children will need during the discussion
5．选C 根据空后的“Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit.”可知，C项“他们通过学习优秀的习惯成长为伟大的读者”与之相承接。故选C项。
6．选A 此空位于段落开头，是本段的主旨句。本段主要讲的是在孩子们出错的时候进行阅读指导，故A项“在犯错的时候养成习惯”能概括本段内容。
7．选E 本段主要讲的是在写作的过程中养成阅读习惯，故E项“因此，你可以同时培养他们的阅读和写作习惯”符合语境。
8．选G 根据空前的例子可知，G项“通过这样做，你可以更好地了解孩子在讨论过程中需要什么指导”符合语境。且G项中的“during the discussion”与空前的“have a discussion”相呼应。
9．选D 空前提到“独立阅读时间对任何阅读项目都很重要。它是孩子们将在阅读课上学到的所有东西总结到一起并形成自己的观点的一个机会”，故D项“但这只有在他们真正花时间阅读的情况下才有效”符合语境。
Ⅲ.短文改错

Dear Jeff，
I am writing to reply to your e-mail regarding the Chinese idiom story competition you are going to participate in. It would be my great pleasure to help you prepare for the contest.
I would like to offer some suggestions before we meet.Firstly, as there are a great number of idioms to choose from, I recommend the most commonly used ones that come from interesting stories. Additionally, many idioms have roots in ancient myths or historical facts.Thus, I advise fully researching their meanings and origins to gain an instructive and fascinating insight into the cultural history of China.In this way, your storytelling will be highly impressive and appealing.
I hope the suggestions above can be of some help to you. Could you please tell me when and where to meet I look forward to further discussion with you.
Yours，

We shouldn't judge a person by their appearance but we do.In fact, experts say that when we meet someone for the first time we make a decision about what that person is like in three seconds.__8__ One of the most important things we look at is clothes, but it isn't the brand of clothes that people wear that is important.The important thing is to wear the right clothes for the right places.
Schools have always understood this and a lot of them ask their students to wear a uniform.Why？A lot of teachers think a uniform makes students feel that they are part of their school and that their uniform helps them to be serious about their studies. __9__ If all the students wear uniforms, they can't judge each other because of their clothes.It also stops gossips about who or what is fashionable.
__10__ We all have fixed ideas about what the people in a certain job should wear.If we visit a doctor, we hope to see respectable clothes under the doctor's white coat.__11__ Police officers wear uniforms to make themselves easily identifiable.In fact, a lot of companies have dress codes for their staff (员工) because they know that the customers hope to see them dressed in certain types of clothes.
But can our clothes really tell people what we are like？__12__ When people see us in the right clothes, they think we are serious about what we are doing.Furthermore, if we are clean, smart and polite, people will believe us a lot.
A．Maybe not, but they can show our attitude to what we are doing at the moment.
B．Some of the teachers hold different opinions.
C．But what do we look at
D．Teachers say that uniforms can help in other ways too.
E．Our clothes stand for our attitude.
F．It is not only schools that want people to dress in a certain way.
G．When we go into a bank, we expect the staff to wear suits or dresses.
8．选C 根据空后一句中的“One of the most important things we look at is clothes”可知，这里讨论的是我们看的是什么。故C项符合语境。
9．选D 本段讲述的是校服的作用，而D项符合这一主题。
10．选F 第二段讲述的是学校会要求学生穿校服。而本段讲述的是除了学校，还有很多工作和场所要求员工穿相应的工作服。F项起到了承上启下的作用。

12．选A 本段论述的主题是穿着对我们的影响。A项的句意符合该主题。Module 4 课下主题训练 不同民族文化习俗与传统节日

We shouldn't judge a person by their appearance but we do.In fact, experts say that when we meet someone for the first time we make a decision about what that person is like in three seconds.__8__ One of the most important things we look at is clothes, but it isn't the brand of clothes that people wear that is important.The important thing is to wear the right clothes for the right places.
Schools have always understood this and a lot of them ask their students to wear a uniform.Why？A lot of teachers think a uniform makes students feel that they are part of their school and that their uniform helps them to be serious about their studies. __9__ If all the students wear uniforms, they can't judge each other because of their clothes.It also stops gossips about who or what is fashionable.
__10__ We all have fixed ideas about what the people in a certain job should wear.If we visit a doctor, we hope to see respectable clothes under the doctor's white coat.__11__ Police officers wear uniforms to make themselves easily identifiable.In fact, a lot of companies have dress codes for their staff (员工) because they know that the customers hope to see them dressed in certain types of clothes.
But can our clothes really tell people what we are like？__12__ When people see us in the right clothes, they think we are serious about what we are doing.Furthermore, if we are clean, smart and polite, people will believe us a lot.
A．Maybe not, but they can show our attitude to what we are doing at the moment.
B．Some of the teachers hold different opinions.
C．But what do we look at
D．Teachers say that uniforms can help in other ways too.
E．Our clothes stand for our attitude.
F．It is not only schools that want people to dress in a certain way.
G．When we go into a bank, we expect the staff to wear suits or dresses.Module 5 课下主题训练 体育活动、大型体育赛事、

If we jump in the air as high as possible, we can stay off the ground for about half a second.Michael Jordan could stay airborne for almost one second while ski jumpers are able to do that for five to seven seconds as they travel about the length of a football field through the air.So how do they do this
Three major concepts from physics are at play in the ski jump: gravity, lift and drag.Gravity pulls any object in flight down toward the ground and there is nothing athletes can do to lessen its effect.But athletes also interact with the air as they move.It is this interaction that can produce lift, an upward force produced by air pushing on an object.If the force produced from lift roughly balances the force of gravity, the object can fly.The same interaction also produces drag.It resists the forward motion of any object and slows it down.
In the ski jump, jumpers start high up on a slope and then ski downhill to generate speed.Just before they reach the end of the slope, they jump.Once jumpers are in the air, the fun physics begins.They use careful body positioning to maximize lift while minimizing drag.To do this, they adjust their skis and bodies to keep nearly parallel (平行的) to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body.This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack that will also maximize lift.As drag reduces the speed of the jumpers, lift decreases and gravity continues to pull them.They will begin to fall faster and faster until they land.
As you tune in to the Olympics and wonder at the physical power of the athletes, take a moment to consider their mastery of the concepts of physics.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了跳台滑雪运动员可以飞在空中的物理学原理和他们的运动流程等。
1．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Staying longer in the air.
B．Traveling forward slower.
C．Falling down the hill faster.
D．Jumping higher than average people.
解析：选A 代词指代题。根据语境可知，this所在句中的“they”指的是“ski jumpers”，画线词“this”指代的是“ski jumpers所做的事情”。前一句讲到了“ski jumpers are able to do that for five to seven seconds”，其中that指的是“stay airborne”，故画线词this指代的是“stay airborne for five to seven seconds”，故A 项“在空中待更长时间”正确。
2．How can ski jumpers fly in the air according to Paragraph 2
A．They make use of the interaction with air.
B．They get more gravity than lift.
C．They keep a good balance while skiing.
D．They get rid of the effect of gravity.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But athletes also interact with the air ...the object can fly.”可知，运动员与空气相互作用会产生升力，如果升力与重力大致平衡的话，运动员就可以飞起来了。所以，跳台滑雪运动员之所以能够飞起来是因为利用了与空气间的相互作用。
3．What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss about the ski jump
A．Its training equipment.
B．Its safety guidelines.
C．Its major concepts.
D．Its basic routine.
解析：选D 段落大意题。根据第三段的内容可以看出，本段主要讲了跳台滑雪运动员的整个运动流程。
4．What may be the best title for the text
A．Ski jumpers flying in the sky
B．Falling or flying is your choice
C．Physics: as difficult as imagined
D．Ski jump booming in the Olympics
解析：选A 标题归纳题。本文第一段引入话题“为什么跳台滑雪运动员可以在空中待更长时间”，第二段揭示了其背后的物理学原理，第三段讲述了跳台滑雪运动员的整个运动流程，最后一段总结话题，提醒大家下次观看跳台滑雪运动时细想运动员对物理概念的掌握，故A项“飞在空中的跳台滑雪运动员”既能概括主题，又能激起读者的好奇心，适合作本文的标题。

Millions of monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) once covered the trees of California's coastal areas each winter, but now their numbers are decreasing.The recent annual Western Monarch Count found that the butterfly population was down by 99 percent from populations 40 years ago.
Monarch butterflies have two populations：eastern and western varieties separated by the Rocky Mountains.The populations are very similar in appearance, but western monarch butterflies are generally smaller and darker in color.The two also follow different migration (迁徙) patterns.Eastern monarch butterflies spend winter in Mexico, while western ones gather on central California coasts to wait out the cold.
In early spring, the two leave their rest places and begin to travel eastward.By the time the butterflies reach the Central Valley, they breed (繁殖)．A butterfly can lay hundreds of eggs in a few weeks, and the new generation continues the migration.The cycle of generations and migration repeats every few weeks through the summer until the butterflies move as far as Idaho.And when the weather turns cold and the days get shorter, the butterflies return to California's coasts.
The overwintering population was counted every year.The missing information is the time period when the butterflies leave their winter woods and begin to breed in February, March and April.“We just don't know what they're doing in that middle period and how we can better support the population，” said Washington State University biologist Cheryl Schultz.“Maybe they're resting in the woods, or maybe they need more fuel along the way, etc.Any of those things might help monarch butterflies get from the coastal overwintering sites to breeding sites broadly in the Central Valley，” Schultz added.To fill that gap, the researchers set up the Western Monarch Mystery Challenge.
The ten-week program asks the public to submit photographs of monarch butterflies outside of their winter range.“We couldn't be looking for monarch butterflies right now without the involvement of the community.There just aren't enough of us，”Schultz said.“Reaching out to the community means we might be able to learn something where there is virtually no other way to learn it.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。帝王蝶数量锐减，为了更好地保护它们，一些研究人员号召大众参与到他们的项目中以便保护它们。

Malin Pinsky had the first of two lightbulb moments in 2003 while crossing Drake Passage. He was then standing on the bridge of a research ship and was scanning the sky for seabirds, which was one of his duties as a research technician on the cruise (乘船游览). Just five months earlier he had finished college, where he studied biology and environmental science.
As the ship entered nutrient-rich Antarctic waters, whales suddenly showed up all around the ship. That moment on the bridge helped him realize that the ocean looks featureless from the top, but there's so much going on underneath.
The second lightbulb moment hit him several months later. Pinsky was then an intern (实习生) in Washington, DC.His job was making photocopies.It was around the time when two big reports had come out.Both focused on what policies might best preserve US ocean resources.“I realized we have all these laws and policies that determine how we as a society interact with the ocean.But they're far out of date. We don't yet have the science to know what the new policy should be，” Pinsky said.
Today he runs a lab with about 20 workers.His team wants to seek how our changing climate, as well as overfishing and habitat destruction, might be driving changes in fish and other animals in the sea.To find out, team members travel each year to coral reefs near the Philippines.There, they carefully catalog populations of different fish. They collect data on the growth and mating of these fish, their diversity and other factors.
“Pinsky's broad approach to the problem — looking at species, where they live and how fisheries are managed — is setting the pace for other scientists，” says Kimberly Oremus, a fishery economist at the University of Delaware in Newark, “Pinsky is pushing the whole field to respond to his growing body of research.”
语篇解读：本文主要讲述了海洋生态学家Marlin Pinsky 在两次突然醒悟的瞬间之后，带领着一个20人的团队致力于海洋生态环境的研究。
4．What made Pinsky have the first lightbulb moment
A．The vastness of the ocean.
B．The sight of seabirds in the sky.
C．The view of Drake Passage.
D．The appearance of whales around the ship.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“whales suddenly showed up all around the ship ...but there's so much going on underneath”可知，出现在船周围的鲸鱼让Pinsky有了第一次突然醒悟的瞬间。
5．What did Pinsky realize when he was an intern in Washington, DC
A．He needed to take more photos of oceans.
B．He should do something to update ocean policies.
C．The US ocean resources need to be better preserved.
D．There have already been perfect policies to preserve the ocean.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I realized we have all these laws ...But they're far out of date ...”及后文内容可知，Pinsky那时意识到现在还没有新的科学依据来帮助制定新的海洋政策，他觉得他可以有所作为。
6．What's Kimberly Oremus' attitude towards Pinsky's research
A．Positive. B．Doubtful.
C．Disapproving. D．Uninterested.
解析：选A 观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“...is setting the pace for other scientists”及“Pinsky is pushing the whole field to respond to his growing body of research.”可知，Kimberly Oremus对Pinsky的研究持肯定态度。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Polar bears are beautiful animals that serve an important part of the ecosystems.__7__ And they are also losing range to the effects of global warming, which in particular affects the amount of sea ice.No wonder that the US Fish and Wildlife Service identified the rapid decline of sea ice as“the primary threat to polar bears”．
__8__ Removing even a single species can have potentially serious consequences.Polar bears are top of the line predators (捕食者) in areas where they live.All large predators perform a very important function.__9__ When an animal group loses its natural predators, overpopulation, sickness and mass die-offs can result.A sudden increase in population of Arctic seals would have a direct effect on the prey of seals and could reduce numbers of certain types of fish.
This could have a direct effect on humans.__10__ If people want a more people-centered reason to save polar bears, it may be that the lack of polar bears could eventually affect human food supply and commercial fishing industries.The idea that no species, including humans, lives without depending on others might be the most important human reason to save this species.
__11__ These include things like finding energy sources that don't give off greenhouse gases, not making any more attacks on polar bears, and stopping drilling for oil or natural gas in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR)．
A．An ecosystem is highly dependent on all of its parts.
B．They feed on seal, fish and native populations of deer.
C．They've lost most of their home ground for human activities.
D．They can help regulate and control the populations of other species.
E．We humans do have responsibility to save the life on the planet Earth!
F．People might have to compete with Arctic seals for food supplies from fish.
G．There are some things that may help slow warming trends and save polar bears.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。因为人类活动，北极熊已经失去了大部分的栖息地。文章说明保护北极熊的重要性及措施。
7．选C 根据空后一句可知，空处内容应是有关北极熊失去的东西的。“And”和“also”表明设空处与空后是并列关系。故C项“因为人类活动，它们已经失去了大部分的栖息地”符合语境。
8．选A 根据空后一句及后面的举例可知，任何一个物种的缺失都可能会引起严重的后果。故A项“生态系统高度依赖于它的所有部分”符合语境。
9．选D 根据空前一句及空后内容可知，所有的捕食者都在自己所生存的领域中扮演着重要角色，一旦失去它们，会导致很多问题的出现。故该空承上启下，说明的应是捕食者所扮演的重要角色，故D项“他们能帮助调节和控制其他物种的数量”符合语境。
10．选F 根据空前一句及空后的内容可知，海豹数量的激增会导致鱼类数量的减少，会给人类带来直接影响，F项(人类可能会与海豹竞争食物——鱼类)直接承接上文“a direct effect on humans”，并与下文最终影响人类的食物供应和渔业的发展衔接自然。故F项符合语境。
11．选G 根据空后一句可知，本段主要说明的是保护北极熊的措施。故G项“有一些事情可能有助于减缓(气候)变暖的趋势，拯救北极熊”符合语境。空后的“These”与G项中的“some things”的对应关系亦是提示。

A
Millions of monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) once covered the trees of California's coastal areas each winter, but now their numbers are decreasing.The recent annual Western Monarch Count found that the butterfly population was down by 99 percent from populations 40 years ago.
Monarch butterflies have two populations：eastern and western varieties separated by the Rocky Mountains.The populations are very similar in appearance, but western monarch butterflies are generally smaller and darker in color.The two also follow different migration (迁徙) patterns.Eastern monarch butterflies spend winter in Mexico, while western ones gather on central California coasts to wait out the cold.
In early spring, the two leave their rest places and begin to travel eastward.By the time the butterflies reach the Central Valley, they breed (繁殖)．A butterfly can lay hundreds of eggs in a few weeks, and the new generation continues the migration.The cycle of generations and migration repeats every few weeks through the summer until the butterflies move as far as Idaho.And when the weather turns cold and the days get shorter, the butterflies return to California's coasts.
The overwintering population was counted every year.The missing information is the time period when the butterflies leave their winter woods and begin to breed in February, March and April.“We just don't know what they're doing in that middle period and how we can better support the population，” said Washington State University biologist Cheryl Schultz.“Maybe they're resting in the woods, or maybe they need more fuel along the way, etc.Any of those things might help monarch butterflies get from the coastal overwintering sites to breeding sites broadly in the Central Valley，” Schultz added.To fill that gap, the researchers set up the Western Monarch Mystery Challenge.
The ten-week program asks the public to submit photographs of monarch butterflies outside of their winter range.“We couldn't be looking for monarch butterflies right now without the involvement of the community.There just aren't enough of us，”Schultz said.“Reaching out to the community means we might be able to learn something where there is virtually no other way to learn it.”
1．From Paragraph 1, we know monarch butterflies ______.
A．are counted by researchers every decade
B．are in a very difficult situation now
C．have lost their home in California
D．have moved to new places
2．What do the two varieties of monarch butterflies have in common
A．Their breeding places.
B．Their appearance and size.
C．Their way of fighting against cold.
D．Their migration destination in winter.
3．What do Schultz's words in the last paragraph show
A．It's challenging to make the community get involved.
B．It's important to get help from the public.
C．It's difficult to study monarch butterflies.
D．It's rewarding to learn from the public.
B
Malin Pinsky had the first of two lightbulb moments in 2003 while crossing Drake Passage. He was then standing on the bridge of a research ship and was scanning the sky for seabirds, which was one of his duties as a research technician on the cruise (乘船游览). Just five months earlier he had finished college, where he studied biology and environmental science.
As the ship entered nutrient-rich Antarctic waters, whales suddenly showed up all around the ship. That moment on the bridge helped him realize that the ocean looks featureless from the top, but there's so much going on underneath.
The second lightbulb moment hit him several months later. Pinsky was then an intern (实习生) in Washington, DC.His job was making photocopies.It was around the time when two big reports had come out.Both focused on what policies might best preserve US ocean resources.“I realized we have all these laws and policies that determine how we as a society interact with the ocean.But they're far out of date. We don't yet have the science to know what the new policy should be，” Pinsky said.
Today he runs a lab with about 20 workers.His team wants to seek how our changing climate, as well as overfishing and habitat destruction, might be driving changes in fish and other animals in the sea.To find out, team members travel each year to coral reefs near the Philippines.There, they carefully catalog populations of different fish. They collect data on the growth and mating of these fish, their diversity and other factors.
“Pinsky's broad approach to the problem — looking at species, where they live and how fisheries are managed — is setting the pace for other scientists，” says Kimberly Oremus, a fishery economist at the University of Delaware in Newark, “Pinsky is pushing the whole field to respond to his growing body of research.”
4．What made Pinsky have the first lightbulb moment
A．The vastness of the ocean.
B．The sight of seabirds in the sky.
C．The view of Drake Passage.
D．The appearance of whales around the ship.
5．What did Pinsky realize when he was an intern in Washington, DC
A．He needed to take more photos of oceans.
B．He should do something to update ocean policies.
C．The US ocean resources need to be better preserved.
D．There have already been perfect policies to preserve the ocean.
6．What's Kimberly Oremus' attitude towards Pinsky's research
A．Positive. B．Doubtful.
C．Disapproving. D．Uninterested.

Polar bears are beautiful animals that serve an important part of the ecosystems.__7__ And they are also losing range to the effects of global warming, which in particular affects the amount of sea ice.No wonder that the US Fish and Wildlife Service identified the rapid decline of sea ice as“the primary threat to polar bears”．
__8__ Removing even a single species can have potentially serious consequences.Polar bears are top of the line predators (捕食者) in areas where they live.All large predators perform a very important function.__9__ When an animal group loses its natural predators, overpopulation, sickness and mass die-offs can result.A sudden increase in population of Arctic seals would have a direct effect on the prey of seals and could reduce numbers of certain types of fish.
This could have a direct effect on humans.__10__ If people want a more people-centered reason to save polar bears, it may be that the lack of polar bears could eventually affect human food supply and commercial fishing industries.The idea that no species, including humans, lives without depending on others might be the most important human reason to save this species.
__11__ These include things like finding energy sources that don't give off greenhouse gases, not making any more attacks on polar bears, and stopping drilling for oil or natural gas in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR)．
A．An ecosystem is highly dependent on all of its parts.
B．They feed on seal, fish and native populations of deer.
C．They've lost most of their home ground for human activities.
D．They can help regulate and control the populations of other species.
E．We humans do have responsibility to save the life on the planet Earth!
F．People might have to compete with Arctic seals for food supplies from fish.
G．There are some things that may help slow warming trends and save polar bears.
