Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading—Comprehending
阅读理解
A
People become defensive at the thought of someone telling them or implying(暗示) that they must change. “I am who I am; take it or leave it” is often the response. While many view these comments as signs of self?confidence, in truth this attitude is typically a cover?up for being afraid.
“If I change then I am admitting there is something wrong with me. If I change, then others are controlling who I am and dictating who I become.” Neither option is appealing. Like your clothing or hairstyle, what needs to change from time to time is your attitudes and actions—the way you think and behave. Keep in mind that negative attitudes and actions lead to difficulties in life.
The willingness to change means one is accepting enough of themselves to realize they need improvement in certain aspects of their life; that they are not fully comfortable of the way they are living; that they have a task in progress and are continually seeking to grow and improve. Like a worker who takes continuing education classes to always be up on the latest changes in their field so that they can be the best employee on the job, so is this same approach necessary to success in life.
Resistance to change causes the same rigidity(死板) that can make a firm tree break in a strong wind. Those that are willing to bend to accommodate the wind remain unchanged. Humans who adopt an attitude that they will not change for anyone are fearful of giving up the satisfaction from others. Resistance to change in general can be an indication of one who lives in denial about their unhealthy attitudes, actions, lifestyles, relationships and so on. Low self?esteem(自尊) prevents them from recognizing their imperfections and lack of courage or self?love prevents them from making the necessary improvements. Even though we deny it, we all expect others to change for us in some way. A bad attitude is like a flat tire：if you don’t change it you won’t get very far in life.

Female seals don’t change their spots, according to a new study by University of Alberta biologists. In fact, individual differences in boldness remain consistent(一致的) over time. The study is among the first to examine boldness in wild marine mammals in the field of animal personality. Animal personality influences many ecological processes, like how individuals interact with other species or respond to changing environmental conditions.
Researchers studied female seals on Sable Island，home to the world’s largest grey seal colony. Over a period from 2008 to 2016, biologist Christi Bubac and a field team led by Fisheries and Oceans Canada measured boldness responses in the female seals when defending their young.
“During the breeding season, we saw that females tend to behave consistently, not only between years, but also within the lactation period(哺乳期) of a given year，” explained Bubac, lead author and PhD student in the Department of Biological Sciences studying with wildlife geneticist David Coltman. “This provides an example of animal personality, with consistent individual differences observed over time.”
Bubac also examined how reproductive success is related to a seal’s boldness or shyness.Grey seals nurse for 16 to 18 days, so mother seals have a very short window to get baby seals as fat as they can. During this time, baby seals triple(增至三倍) in body mass. Body mass is a good predictor of reproductive success because it indicates the puppies’ chances of survival. “On average, we found that bolder females stop feeding those that are two kilograms heavier, compared with the shyest females, improving their chances of surviving the first year of life，” said Bubac.
These results present some very interesting biological questions, explained Coltman, professor of biology. “This research shows that young grey seal moms that are bold tend to stop feeding larger puppies compared with shy moms. However, older grey seals also tend to be bolder. If bolder animals have bigger pups and live longer, why does variation in boldness remain? Why be shy？”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。海豹也是有个性的，而海豹个性的个体差异会影响后代繁衍。

5．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A．Animals have remained their personality since they were born.
B．Female seals behave more boldly in the lactation period.
C．Seals’ boldness responses remain the same over time.
D．The study on seals’ personality has been very mature.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的During the breeding season...within the lactation period(哺乳期) of a given year及This provides an example of animal personality，with consistent individual differences observed over time.可知，海豹的勇敢性保持不变。
6．Which of the following may Christi Bubac agree with?
A．Bolder female seals adjust the nursing time to their babies’ weight.
B．Mother seals tend to get babies as slim as possible.
C．It usually takes mother seals 20 days to nurse.
D．Bolder female seals feed less than shy ones.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的Body mass is a good predictor of reproductive success because it indicates the puppies’ chances of survival.可知，更勇敢的海豹妈妈喂养宝宝的时间长短以宝宝的体重为依据。

Much of what we know about memory comes from Henry Gustav Molaison(otherwise known as H．M.). From the time he was a small child, H．M. had epilepsy(癫痫症) so severe that doctors suggested removing a portion of his brain in an attempt to cure the disease. So in 1953, when H．M. was 27, his doctor Dr.William Beecher Scoville removed two sections of H．M.’s brain, including both of his hippocampi(海马体)．
Doctors quickly realized that H．M.’s lack of certain cognitive(认知的) functions had nothing to do with intelligence. H．M. performed well on any IQ tests he was given. H．M. could also remember clearly anything that had happened before his operation. It thus became clear that, since the surgery had affected his ability to create memories beyond a few minutes, the hippocampus must be the area of the brain responsible for long?term memory.
Dr.Brenda Milner, one of the many doctors to study H．M., conducted an additional experiment with H．M. where she asked him to describe a star he saw in a mirror. His first few efforts produced very shaky results since the task required moving in the opposite direction from what the mirror showed.
However, after repeated attempts, H．M. finally finished the task despite having no memory of the event of having practiced it before. Thus, while the making of our long?term memories of people, places, or events may take place in the hippocampus, our motor skill memories must be housed elsewhere.
H．M.’s brain continues to be studied even after his death in 2008. In 2009, his brain was cut into about 2，000 pieces and digitally imaged down to the scale of individual neurons(神经元)．Humans’ knowledge of brain disease and how the normal mind works would be greatly reduced if it were not for the generosity of these people and their families.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。专家对H.M.的大脑进行了研究，发现在他的两个海马体被切除之后，他的智力并没有受到什么影响，只是不能记住新的东西而已。
7．The doctors removed parts of H．M.’s brain including the hippocampus in order to ________．
A．prevent him from getting dementia
B．research into his memories
C．cure him of his epilepsy
D．study his intelligence
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的From the time he was a small child...in an attempt to cure the disease.可知，医生之所以把H.M.大脑的部分切除掉，是为了医治他的癫痫症。
8．After H．M.received his operation, he________．
A．got poor scores in IQ tests
B．still remembered what he had done
C．could remember new things longer
D．needed more time to memorize things
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的H.M.could also remember clearly anything that had happened before his operation.可知，在手术之后，H.M.还记得以前的事情。
9．What does the underlined word “shaky” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Uncertain. B．Remarkable.
C．Uncommon. D．Expected.
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的since the task required moving in the opposite direction from what the mirror showed及第四段中的However，after repeated attempts...having practiced it before.可知，H.M.刚开始的尝试产生的结果是不确定的。
10．What did the additional experiment prove?
A．People without the hippocampus have poor motor skills.
B．Motor skill memories aren’t housed in the hippocampus.
C．It is more difficult to remember things happening at the moment.
D．People without the hippocampus wouldn’t perform well in short?term memories.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的Thus, while the making of our long－term memories...our motor skill memories must be housed elsewhere.可知，实验表明，海马体并不是贮存运动技能的器官。

A 600?year?old Buddha statue(佛像) has been discovered in an artificial lake in east China’s Jiangxi Province after water levels fell. A local villager first spotted the head of the Buddha when the water level fell by more than 10 meters during his work at a hydropower gate, Xinhua News Agency reported. The Buddha’s head sits against a cliff and stares at the body of water. It has attracted many tourists as well as locals, who see it as a favorable sign.
“A basic study of the statue suggests it was probably built during early Ming Dynasty, maybe even earlier than Yuan Dynasty，” Xu Changqing, director of the Research Institute of Archaeology(考古学) of Jiangxi Province, stated in an interview.
The statue is potentially just the tip of an undiscovered archeological treasure. A base of a temple hall was also found under the water. Local records suggest the lake was located on the ruins of an ancient town called Xiaoshi.
Xu said an underwater archeology team is investigating both the ancient town and the statue and working on a preservation plan. Xu added that being kept in water could have preserved the statue, which features surprisingly detailed carving.If the statue wasn’t preserved in the water, it could have suffered weathering, oxidation or other risks. Many cultural relics were destroyed during the country’s Cultural Revolution in the 1960s when people were told to get rid of everything old and superstitious(迷信的).
The statue is around 12.5 feet (3.8 meters) tall and carved into a cliff. China is home to a number of noticeable Buddhist cliff and cave carvings.One of the most famous is Leshan Giant Buddha, the world’s tallest Buddha statue. Guan Zhiyong, a local official, told Xinhua that the Buddha statue was built by ancient people as a spiritual protector to calm the rapid?flowing current where two rivers meet.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。位于江西省境内的一个人工湖因水位下降，使隐藏在水下的一尊佛像露出了水面。据专家考证，此佛像大约开凿于明朝年间。

A．To tell us where the news comes from.
B．To show the long history of the statue.
C．To tell us who is involved in the study.
D．To show the value of the statue directly.
B 解析：推理判断题。文章第二段引用了考古学家的话，告诉我们这座佛像可以追溯到明朝甚至更早，是为了说明佛像历史悠久。
2．Paragraph 3 indicates that________．
A．some local people used to explore the lake
B．there is a splendid temple lying under the water
C．ancient people in Xiaoshi had a strong religious belief
D．more archeological discoveries can be made in the lake
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的话可知，这座雕像只是未被发现的考古宝藏的冰山一角，这个人工湖建立在一座古城之上。由此推测，水下将会有更多的考古发现。
3．Which word can be used to describe the Buddha statue according to Xu?
A．Magic. B．Priceless.
C．Lucky. D．Fine.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的内容尤其是If the statue wasn’t...or other risks.可知，这尊佛像由于在水下而没有受到任何影响，因为在“文化大革命”期间，受到破除封建迷信的影响，许多文物遭到毁灭。由此推测，它是“幸运的”。

What if there were a way to take carbon dioxide(CO2) right out of the air and turn it into useful products? It might seem fantastic but scientists have actually proved it’s possible. One of the challenges, however, is making products that are valuable enough to cover the high costs of extracting(提取) the carbon dioxide.
There is already a significant market for CO2 and products made from it, most obviously fertilizer and fuels. This process of treating the gas as an original material rather than a waste product is known as carbon dioxide use (CDU) and usually starts by extracting CO2 from industrial gases. Extracting CO2 directly from the air can be a complex process. As CO2 represents just 0.04% of the atmosphere, you have to treat very large amounts of air just to produce even modest quantities of the gas. However, several companies have managed to design chemical processes to produce enough industrial CO2 which is economically practicable.
The new research from George Washington University finds a way to directly extract CO2 from the air and turn it into carbon nanofibres(纳米纤维). The researchers claim their new producing method is much cheaper than existing techniques. Could it become so widely used that it significantly reduces atmospheric CO2 levels? Current production of carbon nanofibres is around 500 tonnes a year and predicted to augment largely. But this is still far from the hundreds of millions of tonnes that would be needed to deal with greenhouse gases.
Sadly it’s most unlikely that the interesting breakthrough will be scaled up to limit climate change in the way that has been claimed. We believe that due to the size of the potential market, carbon nanofibres alone will not be able to make a significant impact on CO2 emission(排放). However, many new technologies and materials start with a small area before moving into more mainstream uses. And perhaps this could be the case for direct air extracting nanofibres. After all, change has to start somewhere.

Jellyfish are a species of sea animal that are named because of their bodies. Despite the name, they are not fish. A jellyfish has no head, brain, heart, eyes, or ears.
Fossil evidence of these creatures dates back to over 650 million years ago, perhaps earlier than dinosaurs. With so many kinds of jellyfish floating about, there must be variety in the appearance of their body parts. However, the typical body is made up of the bell, the oral arms and the tentacles(触手)．
The bell of the jellyfish is the smooth umbrella?shaped body that is designed to pump. Inside the bell are the mouth and stomach. The digestive system(消化系统) is very simple. The stomach, which can be considered the jellyfish’s “inside”， is lined with cells. We can easily see their “inside” because water takes up the major part of their bodies, the percentage of which is over 95%.
The jellyfish has no brain, but it does have a simple nervous system called a nerve net, which spreads throughout the outside layer of the animal’s skin. When the jellyfish comes in contact with potential danger, the cells of the nerve net respond by shooting out many tentacles.
Although the jellyfish does not have sensory organs, it does possess tiny simple sensory structures. Their special structures in the body can react to light. Thus the jellyfish, though lacking a brain and eyes, can respond to sunlight shining through the water. It should be noted that, although it can perceive light, without eyes it cannot see images.
Jellyfish, because of their stinging(蜇人的) tentacles, can be dangerous to humans. Of the more than 2，000 species, roughly 70 are thought to be potentially dangerous to humans. The stings of some of these can even be deadly to humans, and may leave permanent scars on any victim who is lucky enough to survive.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。水母是生活在海洋里的一种无脊椎生物，最早可追溯到6亿5千万年前，甚至比恐龙还早。
4．What can be found in each jellyfish’s body?

Scientific experiments have shown again and again that octopuses(章鱼) are pretty smart.They learn quickly，can solve puzzles and remember solutions.
But the big question is why？There are several reasons why octopus intelligence is a mystery to many biologists.Firstly，biologists believe that intelligent animals such as chimpanzees(黑猩猩) and dolphins develop large complex brains because they live in complex social groups and need to understand each other.Octopuses live alone.Secondly，other intelligent animals have long childhoods when they can learn from their parents.Such animals also generally live for quite a long time，so having a big brain is a good investment.Baby octopuses lose touch with their parents almost immediately after birth and then they only live for six months to a year.Why does this animal need such a large brain？Finally，octopuses are cousins to snails，oysters and mussels—quite primitive(原始的) animals，which appeared on Earth millions of years before mammals did.Generally，biologists believe that intelligence increases as you go higher up the tree of evolution(进化)．With their big brains，octopuses don’t seem to fit this theory at all.They almost seem to be aliens，a strange mystery of the animal world.It’s easy to understand why in Hawaiian folklore，people thought that the octopus was actually the last survivor of a lost universe.
One theory suggests that octopuses and humans perhaps have a lot in common.Like early humans，octopuses are physically much weaker than their predators．They have soft，naked(裸露的) bodies and they can’t swim as fast as many fish and sharks which hunt them.This is why octopuses spend much of their time hiding between rocks or in holes，just as humans learned to make their homes in caves.Octopuses have also learned some very effective techniques for hunting for food and this means that an octopus spends very little of its time(on average just seven percent) looking for food.But what do they think about as they hide away in their holes？Perhaps the cruel turns of evolution，which have left them with large，playful brains but living alone in the dark at the bottom of the ocean...
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章对章鱼为何如此聪明进行了探讨。
1．Which of the following about octopuses has been confirmed?
A．They have a poor memory.
B．They prefer living in groups.
C．They usually have a short life.
D．They learn a lot from their parents.
C 解析：细节理解题。由第二段中的Baby octopuses lose touch with their parents almost immediately after birth and then they only live for six months to a year.可知，章鱼的寿命不长，只能活半年到一年的时间。
2．Why are octopuses like aliens?
A．They come from a different universe.
B．They have a very strange appearance.
C．They are the most intelligent creatures under the sea.
D．They don’t clearly belong in the pattern of evolution.
D 解析：推理判断题。由第二段中的octopuses are...primitive(原始的) animals，which appeared on Earth millions of years before mammals did...intelligence increases as you go higher up the tree of evolution(进化)可知，章鱼作为一种比哺乳动物出现早几百万年的原始生物，拥有大的脑容量并如此聪明，这很明显不符合生命演化的过程，因此被看作是外来生物。
3．What does the underlined word “predators” in the last paragraph probably refer to?
A．Cousins. B．Enemies.
C．Partners. D．Parents.
B 解析：词义猜测题。由最后一段中的They have soft，naked(裸露的) bodies and they can’t swim as fast as many fish and sharks which hunt them.可知，章鱼是一种软体动物，体力弱，没有捕杀它们的天敌游得快。

W：I got a job as a waitress in a seafood restaurant.⑦ While I was working there, a customer offered me some work as a model. Within a few weeks，I was modeling full time.
M：Wow, what a lucky break!
(Text 7)
W：What do you think?
M：Well，it has just as many bedrooms as the last apartment. And the living room is huge.
W：But the bedrooms are too small. And there isn’t enough closet space for my clothes.
M：And it’s not as cheap as the last apartment we saw.
W：But the apartment was dark and it was in a dangerous neighbourhood.
M：Let’s see if the manager of the sales department has something else to show us.⑧
(Text 8)
W：Hi，Albert. This is Helen.⑩
M：Oh, Hi. How are things?
W：Just fine，thanks.Uh，are you doing anything on Saturday night？?
M：Hmm. Saturday night? Let me think. Oh, yes. My cousin just called to say he was flying in that night. I told him I would pick him up.?
W：Oh, that’s too bad! It’s my birthday. I’m having dinner with Daniel，and I thought I’d invite more people and make it a party.?
M：I’m really sorry, but I won’t be able to make it.
W：I’m sorry, too. But that’s OK.
(Text 9)
W：Nice to see you here！? When did you arrive in this country?
M：Actually I’m travelling with a group. We have a very tight timetable, but as I happen to be here, I thought I might take a couple of hours off to see an old friend.
W：I am glad you did. I must apologize for sounding so rude just now for I was completely taken by surprise. You should have warned me that you were coming.? Well, the most important thing is that you are here. What have you been doing so far?
M：As I just mentioned, I’m with a tourist group of old classmates, one of whom happens to be working for the tourist company. As most of us have already been to the southeastern Asian countries and some have never been to Europe, our tourist friend arranged this trip for us at a special reduced rate.
W：How lucky for you! Is it your first trip here? How have you found it?
M：Actually I’ve been here before, some years ago on a business trip, working for a government organization, so I’ve already done most of my sight?seeing in London and that’s why I have some free time to myself this time.?
W：Good. Now, tell me, what do you most like to see or do?
M：Well, I don’t know really. I’ve already seen the most famous historical sites and scenic spots, and most impressive as they are, they don’t tell me much about the real ordinary English people and the country?.
W：I see what you mean. I’ll drive you to the countryside to eat at a local pub tomorrow and perhaps you’ll see something of the old England, though I must admit there is not much old England left by now. Many old village shops are closed and the village schools too. But you’ll find the people in the countryside more friendly and relaxed.
(Text 10)
I have been weak in hearing all my life. By the time I was five years old，putting on hearing aids in the morning was just as normal as brushing my teeth. However, I never believe that it should limit my success in any way.
I have been looked down upon during my 17 years. My head teacher told my parents I belonged to a school for the deaf.?? My classmates told me something was wrong with my brain. People speak louder than usual when they see my hearing aids in my ears.
However, my hearing disability has made me a stronger person. I have to work harder and earn top grades in school to earn the respect of my teachers. In sports, I have had to run faster, hit harder, catch better and score more points to prove I’m not physically limited. I consider myself not different from anyone else.? In my struggle to prove I’m equal to my non?disabled classmates，I have made myself better than the average teenager.
I truly believe I would not be the strong person I am today if I did not have a hearing disability.?

I was telling a Londoner recently about the North Yorkshire coast. “I really must go one day，” she said, sounding uncertain. “But we’ve already booked for Mexico next year—we’re going whale?watching.”
Sean Baxter, a fisherman, has been encouraging me to search whales out for years. This was another reason why I failed to mention the Yorkshire whales: I had never seen them myself. How could Yorkshire ever compete with famous places such as Kaikoura, Anacortes and Isle St Marie? Baxter was sure that it could. There was only one way to test it out.
We went in September, accompanied by wildlife guide Richard Baines. No birds escaped his eye. For Baxter, though, the birds had added value. “They will lead us to the whales.”
The waves drew us towards deeper water. I was looking at every shadow in the water, but found nothing. An instant later, a great black minke whale(小须鲸) burst upwards for a breath, and then it went down. The whole sequence(连续动作) lasted only a second.
“That’s a young whale，” shouted Baxter. “He will do that three times—watch out over there.”
We waited and waited, but the creature remained below. My excitement died down gradually and I was sure our moment had gone. Then, half an hour later, the whale came up again. Now, it was racing towards the boat. “He’s going under us，” shouted Baxter. I could see it clearly. I’m sure it was taking a good look at our boat and its crew(船员). Then it went down.
As the hours went by, I became familiar with the ways of different whales. Some swam purposefully, ignoring the boat; others rose higher in the water. The young would rush over, like puppies, keen(热切的) to play. I felt as if I had discovered an intelligent alien from space living at the end of my garden. Now I’m hooked(着迷的); I can’t wait to get out there again. Maybe I will get lucky and see more whales.

In 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of a single crop species might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost on the potato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine. Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again.
Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. Some can be grown in very hot or cold climates. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However, you won’t find many of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants that are easy to produce in large numbers. Meanwhile, thousands of other species are becoming extinct.
For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice; now fewer than 100 are grown there. Experts believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the world’s food varieties to disappear.
One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds(种子) of as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 30s, he collected around 400，000 seeds. More recently, others are continuing the work he began.
In the U．S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties. She started a place called Heritage Farm, where people can store and trade seeds.
More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don’t just store the seeds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that haven’t been grown for years. These food species are not just special in flavor. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。过去的一个世纪里，很多农作物种类濒临灭绝，而某一物种的灭绝可能会导致大规模的饥荒。因此，科学家们提倡人们保护农作物种类的多样性。
28．What caused many people to die in Ireland in 1845?
A．Food pollution.
B．Poisonous potatoes.
C．An uncurable disease.
D．Lack of enough food.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的In 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants.和．..in 1845, people depended almost on the potato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine.可知，1845年，爱尔兰的马铃薯疫情导致人们赖以为生的土豆作物全部死亡，由此引发了饥荒。
29．What does the underlined word “Others” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Species of food crops. B．Potato plants.
C．Farmers. D．Seeds.
A 解析：代词指代题。根据第二段中画线词上文中的different species of food crops可知，Others指的是农作物种类。
30．Why does the author mention the Philippines?
A．To show many food species have disappeared.
B．To explain how to increase food production.
C．To stress the importance of food diversity.
D．To prove the necessity of growing rice.
A 解析：推理判断题。第二段末的Meanwhile, thousands of other species are becoming extinct.和第三段中的For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice; now fewer than 100 are grown there.可知，作者提到菲律宾是为了表明许多农作物种类已经消失了。
31．Which statement would Diane Ott Whealy probably agree with?
A．It’s dangerous to grow new food species.
B．The work started by Nikolay Vavilov was useless.
C．Storing seeds and planting them are both important.
D．Foods grown from older seeds are cheaper but taste bad.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据末段中的More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don’t just store the seeds; they plant them.可知， Diane Ott Whealy认为人们应该保护并且种植这些濒临灭绝的农作物。

A “road network” could be created throughout Britain to protect insects such as bees and butterflies from decline(下降), under a new bill presented to the House of Commons.
According to the “Protection of Pollinators(传粉昆虫) Bill”， landowners and the public will be encouraged to develop wildflower passages so that insects can spread freely throughout the country.
Measures may include turning over farmland or waste ground to wildflower grasslands, re?wilding roadside edges(边缘) and abandoning the cutting of public grassland to encourage the growth of insect?friendly plants.
The Ministry of Justice and The Environment Agency are already working with the charity Buglife to find sites where they could create wildflower habitats.
Buglife has also started to introduce B?Lines, a series of insect pathways running through the countryside and town which will form the model for the new national system.
Introducing the bill in Parliament, Conservative MP Ben Bradley, warned that pollinating insects in Britain were facing challenges including climate change, pesticide(杀虫剂) use and urban growth. “They need food, water shelter and nesting areas as well as the ability to travel far and wide—as they would naturally without the barriers placed in their way as a result of urban growth，” he said.
“As the concrete buildings grow, their natural habitat certainly decreases. One choice is something called B?Lines. Along them is a series of wildflower?rich habitat stepping stones, providing support for these species and others. They are a road network for insects.”
“Helping bees and other insects can be as easy as changing the ways of cutting local grassland, decreasing grass cutting or working with local charities and house developers to encourage pollinators in urban spaces.”
More than two thirds of Britain’s pollinators are in decline, and 35 species of British bees are facing extinction and around 97% of wildflower grassland has been destroyed since the 1940s.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。为保护传粉昆虫，递交下议院的《传粉昆虫保护议案》要在全英国为传粉昆虫打造道路网。
32．What are people being advised to do to build a road network for insects?
A．Raise more bees.
B．Move to the countryside.
C．Contribute more to local charities.
D．Stop the cutting of public grassland.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的landowners and the public will be encouraged to develop wildflower passages so that insects can spread freely throughout the country和第三段中的Measures may include turning over farmland or waste ground to wildflower grasslands可知答案。
33．What is the purpose of B?Lines?
A．To create pollinator networks.
B．To reduce building construction.
C．To raise people’s awareness of charity.
D．To teach people how to plant wildflowers.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的Buglife has also started to introduce B?Lines, a series of insect pathways running through...可知，其目的是打造传粉昆虫通道。
34．How did Ben Bradley feel about helping pollinators?
A．Confident. B．Puzzled.
C．Fearful. D．Worried.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Helping bees and other insects can be as easy as...可知，Ben Bradley对帮助传粉昆虫这件事满怀信心。
35．What is the focus of the last paragraph?
A．Ways to protect pollinators.
B．Benefits pollinators bring us.
C．The importance of protecting pollinators.
D．The reasons why pollinators are decreasing.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据末段中的More than two thirds of Britain’s pollinators are in decline可知，该段主要讲述传粉昆虫减少，说明了保护传粉昆虫的重要性。

One possible version：
Dear__Sir__or__Madam，
I went shopping in your department store yesterday. I’m sorry but I have to say that I was disappointed with the service your shop assistant provided.
When I was shopping, the assistant didn’t come until I called her several times. And she was rather impatient while I made my decisions about what to buy. To my surprise, she even called me some ugly names when I left without buying things.
I think that the assistant’s rude actions will deeply hurt genuine customers. After writing you this letter, I can only hope that you will take measures to improve your service for your customers.
Yours__sincerely，
Li__Hua
