Some time ago, in my class I was about to fail a student for his answer to a physics question when the student claimed he deserved a better score. The examination question sounded “safe”, “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer (气压表).” The student had answered, “Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower the barometer to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building.”
I argued that a high grade should prove his competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this. I suggested that the student have another try. Immediately, he worked out his answer: A second best way is to take the barometer to the top of the building. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, using the formula to calculate the height of the building.
I was shocked by his answer. His method gave me not only a broken barometer but a U turn in my teaching philosophy. I gave him full marks.
On his leaving my office, I recalled that he suggested there could be a better answer. So I asked him what it was. “Oh, yes,” said the student. “There are many ways. Probably the best,” he said, “is to take the barometer to the basement and ask the superintendent (大楼的管理人). You speak to him as follows, ‘Mr. Superintendent, here I have a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of this building, I will give it to you.’”
At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional (常规的) answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school instructors’ trying to teach him how to think, and how to use the so called “scientific method”. He just wanted to solve the problem in a practical manner, not just answer the question in an expected way. Hearing this, I really had nothing to do but give the boy a firm handshake, feeling thankful that I hadn’t failed him in the first place and even more thankful that neither had he.
4. Why did the author want to fail the student in the first place
A. The student challenged his authority.
B. The student’s answer was not practical.
C. The student didn’t show his academic ability.
D. The student had a poor performance in physics class.
5. According to the text, which answer is not mentioned in the passage
A. B.
C. D.
6. Which of the following can best describe the author’s new teaching philosophy
A. Without love, there is no education.
B. A man becomes learned by asking questions.
C. Teaching is to make two ideas grow where only one grew before.
D. You can lead your horse to the river, but you can’t make it drink.
7. What made the student give up the conventional answer
A. Lack of physics related knowledge.
B. Ignorance of the teacher’s expectation.
C. Intention to deeply impress his teacher.
D. Disapproval of existing teaching concepts.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。“我”曾经遇到了一位学生答出的不符合传统的答案，“我”认为这并没有表现出他的学术才能，所以要给他不及格，但是他用自己的实际行动告诉“我”传统的教学理念是错的，教学应该是在原来只有一个想法的地方让两个想法同时发展。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“I argued that a high grade should prove his competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this. (我认为高分应该证明他在物理方面的能力，但答案并没有证实这一点。)”可知，作者最初要让这位学生不及格是因为这个学生没有表现出他的学术才能。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower the barometer to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building. (把气压计拿到楼顶，在上面系上一根长绳，把气压计放到街上，然后把它提上来，量一量绳子的长度。绳子的长度就是建筑物的高度。)”可知，选项C被提及；根据第二段“Immediately, he worked out his answer: A second best way is to take the barometer to the top of the building. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, using the formula to calculate the height of the building. (他立刻想出了自己的答案：第二种最好的方法是把气压计带到楼顶。放下气压计，用秒表计时。然后，利用公式计算出建筑物的高度。)”可知，选项D被提及；根据第四段最““There are many ways. Probably the best,” he said, “is to take the barometer to the basement and ask the superintendent (大楼的管理人). You speak to him as follows, ‘Mr. Superintendent, here I have a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of this building, I will give it to you.’” (“有很多方法。也许最好的办法，”他说，“是把气压计拿到地下室去问大楼的管理人。你要这样跟他说话，‘管理人先生，我这里有个很好的气压计。你若告诉我这座楼的高度，我就给你。’”)”可知，选项A被提及。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第二句和第三句“He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school instructors’ trying to teach him how to think, and how to use the so called “scientific method”. He just wanted to solve the problem in a practical manner, not just answer the question in an expected way. (他承认自己有，但他说他受够了高中老师教他如何思考，以及如何使用所谓的“科学方法”。他只是想用实际的方式解决问题，而不是用预期的方式回答问题。)”可知，作者的新教学理念是教学就是在原来只有一个想法的地方让两个想法同时发展。故选C。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school instructors’ trying to teach him how to think, and how to use the so called “scientific method”. (他承认自己有，但他说他受够了高中老师教他如何思考，以及如何使用所谓的“科学方法”。)”可知，不赞成现有的教学理念让这位学生放弃了传统的答案。故选D。
C
So far this winter, a theater in the Alps has staged more than 60 unique concerts. Winter temperatures in the remote mountain village can drop high below zero. Performers wear down jackets and play ice instruments. In fact, almost everything from drums and guitars to horns and harps at the music festival is carved from ice even the stage the musicians play on. The audience sits on ice chairs and benches and claps their hands to listen, both to praise the performers and to keep themselves warm when the air flows through.
The musical instruments used were almost entirely made by an American ice artist, Tim Linhart. Since he created his first musical instrument out of ice more than a decade ago, he has already carved various ice instruments, including violins, violas, timber drum sets, xylophone, double bass, mandolin and cello. He also created his own large wind instrument, which uses the vibration of an ice tube to produce sound when the air flows through.
Linhart makes the different parts of the ice instrument and then uses a liquid mixed with snow to glue them together, with a metal support placed where the strings need to be. A violin can usually be made in two or three weeks, while larger instruments can take more time and efforts, sometimes taking months to make.
An ice instrument has a clearer sound than a wooden instrument. However, ice instruments are more easily broken or damaged than ordinary instruments. The temperature in the ice theater changes depending on the number of people in the audience. This also changes the temperature of the ice instruments, which in turn affects the 1 sound they produce. Musicians need to tune their instruments frequently during performances.
Although playing an ice instrument is not easy, Linhart believes that ice and snow are good materials for making instruments. The only downside is melting when the temperature is above freezing.
8. What is special about the music festival
A. It attracts only the locals. B. It usually lasts two months.
C. It has to be held in the cold. D. Its audience have to dress up.
9. What does the underlined word “vibration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Temperature. B. Shaking. C. Length. D. Opening.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about ice instruments
A. Strengths and weaknesses. B. Production methods.
C. Specific materials. D. Different varieties.
11. What is the purpose of the text
A. To promote an idea. B. To explain a theory.
C. To share an event. D. To introduce a finding.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阿尔卑斯山举行的特别音乐节，表演者穿着羽绒服，演奏冰上乐器。事实上，音乐节上几乎所有的东西，从鼓、吉他到喇叭和竖琴，甚至音乐家们演奏的舞台，都是用冰雕刻而成的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“So far this winter, a theater in the Alps has staged more than 60 unique concerts. Winter temperatures in the remote mountain village can drop high below zero. Performers wear down jackets and play ice instruments. In fact, almost everything from drums and guitars to horns and harps at the music festival is carved from ice even the stage the musicians play on. (今年冬天，阿尔卑斯山的一家剧院上演了60多场独特的音乐会。在这个偏远的山村，冬天的气温可能会降到零度以下。表演者穿着羽绒服，演奏冰上乐器。事实上，音乐节上从鼓、吉他到喇叭、竖琴，几乎所有的东西都是用冰雕刻的，即使是音乐家们演奏的舞台)”可知，音乐节的特别之处是必须在寒冷的地方举行。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“He also created his own large wind instrument, which uses the vibration of an ice tube to produce sound when the air flows through.(他还创造了自己的大型管乐器，当空气流过时，它利用冰管的vibration产生声音)”可知，which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词wind instrument，结合常识，乐器发声需要利用冰管的振动在空气流过时发出声音。故划线词意思是“震动”。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“An ice instrument has a clearer sound than a wooden instrument. However, ice instruments are more easily broken or damaged than ordinary instruments. The temperature in the ice theater changes depending on the number of people in the audience. This also changes the temperature of the ice instruments, which in turn affects the 1 sound they produce. Musicians need to tune their instruments frequently during performances.(冰制乐器比木制乐器声音更清晰。然而，冰乐器比普通乐器更容易破碎或损坏。冰剧院里的温度会随着观众人数的变化而变化。这也会改变冰乐器的温度，进而影响它们发出的声音。音乐家在演出时需要经常调音)”可知，第4段主要告诉我们关于冰乐器的优点和缺点。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“So far this winter, a theater in the Alps has staged more than 60 unique concerts. Winter temperatures in the remote mountain village can drop high below zero. Performers wear down jackets and play ice instruments. In fact, almost everything from drums and guitars to horns and harps at the music festival is carved from ice even the stage the musicians play on.

D
The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a far-reaching impact on agriculture, forestry, and conservation.
By studying the data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species’ chance of success in a changing climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether it flies, climbs or runs.
“We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,” said Tong Qiu, who led the study. “That means you’re going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.” But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas.
“We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,” said Qiu.
The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’s National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and from 11previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gaps in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON’s imaging instruments to create detailed thr e-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate (模拟) climate changes to study how the insects would respond.
12. What does the new study in North America show
A. Pests could des troy many North American crops.
B. Some ground beetles will not survive a climate change.
C. The survival of ground beetles only depends on its habitat.
D. Some ground beetles will destroy crops in a warmer climate.
13. What does Tong Qiu intend to convey in paragraphs 3 and 4
A. There is no way to stop the decline of ground beetles.
B. Critical pests are more adaptable in a warmer, drier climate.
C. Ground beetles will become less mobile in a warmer climate.
D. The importance of ground beetles should be widely recognized.
14. How did the research team carry out the study
A. By analyzing data.
B. By assessing statistics.
C. By doing field research.
D By studying documents.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. North American Agriculture Crops at Risk
B. Crop-saving Beetles under Climate Threat
C. A Catastrophic Climate Change on the Way
D. Beetles’ Reaction to simulate Climate Changes
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究表明，在北美发现的保护农作物的近2000种地面甲虫并不是都能在气候变化中生存下来。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. (但美国和加拿大研究人员的一项新研究表明，在北美发现的近2000种地面甲虫并不是都能在气候变化中生存下来。一些可能会减少)”可知，北美的这项新研究表明，一些地面甲虫将无法在气候变化中生存。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,” said Tong Qiu, who led the study. “That means you’re going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.” But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas.(负责该研究的佟邱说:‘我们发现，在温暖干燥的气候中，作为关键害虫防治剂的流动性较低、不活动的地甲虫更有可能随着时间的推移而减少。”。“这意味着会有更多的害虫影响农业和森林生态系统。”但邱补充道，有理由抱有希望，因为分析还表明，栖息地保护可以减轻这些影响，并扭转某些地区的趋势)”以及第四段““We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,” said Qiu.(邱说：‘我们希望保护生物学家能够利用这些信息和我们创建的在线地图，更好地管理昆虫的栖息地。地甲虫对生态系统非常有益，但一般人基本上看不见它们。在这篇论文中，我们展示了它们对整个森林和农业生态系统社区的广泛影响。’)”可知，在第三段和第四段，佟邱想表达的是，地甲虫的重要性应该得到广泛的认识。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’s National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and from 11previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gaps in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON’s imaging instruments to create detailed thr e-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate(模拟) climate changes to study how the insects would respond. (研究人员使用了美国国家科学基金会国家生态观测网（NEON）的甲虫计数数据和之前发表的11项研究，来测量和绘制甲虫在北美的分布图。通过使用近地天体的成像仪器，获得了栖息地信息，如森林树冠缺口的位置和森林地面上植物的密度，以创建详细的三维的景观图像。然后，他们将收集的数据输入计算机模型，模拟气候变化，研究昆虫的反应)”可知，研究小组通过分析数据来开展这项研究。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. (许多北美作物的成功在一定程度上取决于地甲虫，这种小昆虫以害虫和杂草种子为食，否则可能会破坏作物。但美国和加拿大研究人员的一项新研究表明，并非所有在北美发现的近2000种地甲虫都能在气候变化中存活下来。有些可能会衰落)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了一项新研究表明，在北美发现的保护农作物的近2000种地面甲虫并不是都能在气候变化中生存下来，为了保护它们，研究人员通过分析数据开展进一步研究。B项“气候威胁下拯救作物甲虫”符合题意，可以作为文章标题。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good, it is strange that so few people write them anymore. At work, a thank-you letter to employees is unbelievably effective. It costs little and has no side effects. The effort involved in writing letters very low. The pleasure on receiving them is very high. ___16___
Doug Conant, manager of Campbell’s Soup Company since 2001, knows the power of thank you letters. He said that every day he works with an assistant, searching the company for people deserving thanks. ___17___ Over the past 10 years he has sent 30, 000 thank-you letters to his employees — more than 10 each day. The reward is huge: his company has remained one of the most successful in its field for years.
___18___ There seem to be three reasons. Firstly, chief executives (主管) running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others. ___19___ Secondly, they aren’t close enough to the business to know who deserves thanks. Thirdly, they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a few words of appreciation.
In these days of such busy schedules and people running all over the place and trying to get ahead, sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most powerful and rewarding. You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank-you and how much it meant to you. ___20___
A. He then writes them a thank-you letter.
B. Why are thank-you letters so important
C. You may ask what side effects exactly mean.
D. This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.
E. But if these letters are so inspiring, why don’t more managers write them
F. Always remember to “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you!”
G. Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don’t write any themselves.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. E 19. G 20. F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手写感谢信在工作中的积极作用，作者通过Doug Conant的例子证明了手写感谢信不需要巨大的付出，但是影响深远，同时提及了很多经理没有采取行动写感谢信的原因，最后，作者倡导如果你想得到别人的感谢，那么也请你感谢别人。
【16题详解】
根据前文“The effort involved in writing letters very low. The pleasure on receiving them is very high.(写信所费的功夫很低。收到礼物的快乐是非常高的。)”可知，该部分的主题应是手写感谢信，因此设空句应承接前文进行总结。选项D“This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.(这使它们成为奖励和激励员工的绝佳方式。)”提到手写感谢信是奖励和激励员工的绝佳方式，是对前文的总结，句中“This”指代前文内容，前后呼应。故选D项。
【17题详解】
设空句在段中，应承接前文内容。前文“He said that every day he works with an assistant, searching the company for people deserving thanks.(他说，他每天和助手一起在公司里寻找值得感谢的人。)”提及“寻找值得感谢的人”，由此可推知，承接此内容，设空句应讲到如何感谢这个人。选项A“He then writes them a thank-you letter.(然后他会给他们写一封感谢信。)”提到会写一封感谢信，在句意上符合语境，且句中“then”与前文构成顺承关系。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据后文“There seem to be three reasons.(似乎有三个原因。)”解释了原因，因此设空句应是在问为什么。选项E“But if these letters are so inspiring, why don’t more managers write them (但如果这些信如此鼓舞人心，为什么没有更多的经理来写呢 )”为“为什么”句，与后文在语境语意上衔接紧密，且句中“But”与前文构成转折关系，符合语境分析。故选E项。
【19题详解】
设空句应承接前文，进一步解释不写感谢信的原因。前文“Firstly, chief executives running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others.(首先，运营公司的首席执行官认为自己的工作比别人的更有价值。)”只提到在运营公司的主管看来，他们认为自己有价值，并未就“为什么不写感谢信”进行进一步解释。因此，设空句应呼应前文“自己的价值”和“不写感谢信”，由此可推知，设空句应包含“他们的价值没有得到感谢信形式的肯定，也不会以此方式对待其他员工”含义。选项G“Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don’t write any themselves.(因为没人给他们写过感谢信，所以他们自己也不写感谢信了。)”符合语境分析。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank-you and how much it meant to you.(你需要想想有一次有人给你发了一封感谢信，这对你来说有多重要。)”可知，在作者看来，感谢信的意义重大，因此，作为结尾句，设空句应鼓励写感谢信。选项F“Always remember to ‘Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you!’(永远记住“你希望别人怎么对你，你就怎么对别人!”)”表达了“如果你想得到感谢信，就要先给别人写感谢信”，符合语境分析，可作为总结建议句。故选F项。

Some time ago, in my class I was about to fail a student for his answer to a physics question when the student claimed he deserved a better score. The examination question sounded “safe”, “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer (气压表).” The student had answered, “Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower the barometer to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building.”
I argued that a high grade should prove his competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this. I suggested that the student have another try. Immediately, he worked out his answer: A second best way is to take the barometer to the top of the building. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, using the formula to calculate the height of the building.
I was shocked by his answer. His method gave me not only a broken barometer but a U turn in my teaching philosophy. I gave him full marks.
On his leaving my office, I recalled that he suggested there could be a better answer. So I asked him what it was. “Oh, yes,” said the student. “There are many ways. Probably the best,” he said, “is to take the barometer to the basement and ask the superintendent (大楼的管理人). You speak to him as follows, ‘Mr. Superintendent, here I have a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of this building, I will give it to you.’”
At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional (常规的) answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school instructors’ trying to teach him how to think, and how to use the so called “scientific method”. He just wanted to solve the problem in a practical manner, not just answer the question in an expected way. Hearing this, I really had nothing to do but give the boy a firm handshake, feeling thankful that I hadn’t failed him in the first place and even more thankful that neither had he.

So far this winter, a theater in the Alps has staged more than 60 unique concerts. Winter temperatures in the remote mountain village can drop high below zero. Performers wear down jackets and play ice instruments. In fact, almost everything from drums and guitars to horns and harps at the music festival is carved from ice even the stage the musicians play on. The audience sits on ice chairs and benches and claps their hands to listen, both to praise the performers and to keep themselves warm when the air flows through.
The musical instruments used were almost entirely made by an American ice artist, Tim Linhart. Since he created his first musical instrument out of ice more than a decade ago, he has already carved various ice instruments, including violins, violas, timber drum sets, xylophone, double bass, mandolin and cello. He also created his own large wind instrument, which uses the vibration of an ice tube to produce sound when the air flows through.
Linhart makes the different parts of the ice instrument and then uses a liquid mixed with snow to glue them together, with a metal support placed where the strings need to be. A violin can usually be made in two or three weeks, while larger instruments can take more time and efforts, sometimes taking months to make.
An ice instrument has a clearer sound than a wooden instrument. However, ice instruments are more easily broken or damaged than ordinary instruments. The temperature in the ice theater changes depending on the number of people in the audience. This also changes the temperature of the ice instruments, which in turn affects the 1 sound they produce. Musicians need to tune their instruments frequently during performances.
Although playing an ice instrument is not easy, Linhart believes that ice and snow are good materials for making instruments. The only downside is melting when the temperature is above freezing.
8. What is special about the music festival
A. It attracts only the locals. B. It usually lasts two months.
C. It has to be held in the cold. D. Its audience have to dress up.
9. What does the underlined word “vibration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A Temperature. B. Shaking. C. Length. D. Opening.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about ice instruments
A. Strengths and weaknesses. B. Production methods.
C. Specific materials. D. Different varieties.
11. What is the purpose of the text
A. To promote an idea. B. To explain a theory.
C. To share an event. D. To introduce a finding.
D
The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a far-reaching impact on agriculture, forestry, and conservation.
By studying the data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species’ chance of success in a changing climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether it flies, climbs or runs.
“We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,” said Tong Qiu, who led the study. “That means you’re going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.” But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas.
“We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,” said Qiu.
The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’s National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and from 11previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gaps in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON’s imaging instruments to create detailed thr e-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate (模拟) climate changes to study how the insects would respond.
12. What does the new study in North America show
A. Pests could des troy many North American crops.
B. Some ground beetles will not survive a climate change.
C. The survival of ground beetles only depends on its habitat.
D. Some ground beetles will destroy crops in a warmer climate.
13. What does Tong Qiu intend to convey in paragraphs 3 and 4
A. There is no way to stop the decline of ground beetles.
B. Critical pests are more adaptable in a warmer, drier climate.
C. Ground beetles will become less mobile in a warmer climate.
D. The importance of ground beetles should be widely recognized.
14. How did the research team carry out the study
A. By analyzing data.
B. By assessing statistics.
C. By doing field research.
D. By studying documents.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. North American Agriculture Crops at Risk
B. Crop-saving Beetles under Climate Threat
C. A Catastrophic Climate Change on the Way
D. Beetles’ Reaction to simulate Climate Changes
