If you have, you probably noticed that cats narrow their eyes to vertical(垂直) slits(狹縫), while sheep have horizontal pupils(瞳孔). Why is the difference? Scientists from the Universities of California, Berkeley and Durham in Britain may have the answer. Their research, published recently in the journal Science Advances, suggested that pupils shapes could tell whether an animal is a hunter or gets hunted. The researchers took a close look at the eyes of 214 land animals. The challenge was to see if they could find a relationship between an animals role in the food chain and the pupils shapes. They found a pattern. Species with pupils that are vertical slits are more likely to be small ambush predators(伏擊捕食者)-creatures that lie in wait for their lunch. In contrast, those with horizontal pupils are more likely to be plant-eating prey(獵食；被捕食者) species. Evolution chose the arrangement for a good reason. For hunters such as household cats, it appears that vertical pupils not only improve their ability to keep track of moving objects like mice, but also maximize their ability to judge the distances of the animals they hunt. However, an interesting discovery from the study is that the slit pupils are mostly linked to hunters that are close to the ground. Therefore, bigger cats who actively hunt down their prey, like tigers and lions, dont have slit pupils. On the other hand, for plant-eating prey animals, horizontal pupils give them a wider field of vision. When stretched horizontally, the pupils allow for more light to enter from the front, back, and sides. Meanwhile, they also limit the amount of light from the sun above so the animal can see the ground better. Once they do detect a predator, they need to see where they are running, said leading researcher Martin Banks, a UC Berkeley professor of optometry(視光學(xué)). They have to see well enough out of the corner of their eyes to run quickly and jump over things. But what happens when they bend down to eat? Researchers checked this by watching prey animals in the Oakland Zoo in California, US. They confirmed that when goats lower their heads to eat, their eyes rotate to keep their pupils horizontal. So it seems that the eyes are indeed the window to the soul!21. What is the article mainly about?A. How animals keep track of moving objects.B. Why animals have evolved with different shaped pupils.C. How animals change their pupils shape when hunting for food.D. How the pupils shape influences an animals ability to detect a predator.22. According to the study, slit pupilsA. help to provide a wider field of vision.B. are more likely to belong to big predators.C. are more likely to belong to those to get hunted.D. provide the sharpest way to judge hunting distance.23. What can we conclude from the article about plant-eating prey animals?A. Their pupils allow more light to be received from both above and below.B. Their pupils are able to help them scan their surroundings for threats.C. Once they detect a predator, their eyes rotate to help them find where to run.D. When they lower their heads to eat, they narrow their eyes to vertical slits.B One afternoon, after finishing shopping in a supermarket, my family and I went to the check-out. I suddenly thought we didnt need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300. That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that wed stop if it was killing us, I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality(節(jié)儉). The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials. Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didnt even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbors newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0. As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient(熟練的) at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My childs finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the home-made presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs. In the end, we saved more than $xx by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the supermarket. Then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.24. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the familyA. had had higher ine and living standard.B. had adopted an advisable habit of saving money.C. had often spent money without thinking much.D. hadnt expected they would have financial problems.25. How many things were mentioned about what the family did to save on the first day of the 30 days?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.26. The end of the story suggests that the familyA. stopped halfway because of unexpected things.B. could barely put up with the life of frugality.C. would return to normal after the 30 days.D. succeeded in saving and changed their spending habit.27. This passage is mainly aboutA. how a new idea came up.B. a familys way of solving life problems.C. afamilysno-buyingtry.D. how a family managed their daily life. CA recent study has found that the risk of dementia(癡呆) can increase if people live near a main road. According to the research, waste gas and noise from a busy road lead to one in ten dementia deaths of the 6.6 million patients investigated. Air pollution is already known to contribute to the deaths of around 40,000 people in Britain each year by worsening breathing and heart conditions, while previous research showed emissions(排放物) can cause brain shrinkage. But the new study by Canadian public health scientists is the first to find a link between living close to heavy traffic and the increasing of dementia, a discovery described as believable and impressive by British experts. Dr. Hong Chen said: Our study suggests that busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that could give rise to the onset of dementia. Population growth and urbanization have placed many people close to heavy traffic, and with widespread exposure to heavy traffic and growing rates of dementia, even a modest effect from near-road exposure could cause a large public health burden. More research to understanding this link is needed, particularly into the effects of different aspects of traffic, such as air pollutants and noise. In the new study, the team tracked all adults aged between 20 and 85 living in Ontario for more than a decade from xx to xx. They used postcodes to determine how close people lived to a main road and analyzed medical records to see if they went on to develop dementia, Parkinsons disease or multiple sclerosis(多發(fā)性硬化). While there was no correlation between living near a road and Parkinsons disease or multiple sclerosis, dementia risk reduced as people lived further from a main road, with a 7 percent higher risk in developing dementia among those living within 50 metres; a 4 percent higher risk at 50-100 metres and a 2 percent higher risk at 101-200 metres. After 200 metres there was no increase. Researchers believe that noise of traffic may also play a role in the raised risk as well as other urban pollution, which is often present near busy roads.28. What can we know about Canadians new study?A. British experts think highly of it.B. It brings benefits to dementia patients.C. It shows that air pollution is very serious.D. It shows that air pollution can cause brain shrinkage.29. What Dr. Hong Chen said showed thatA. people are diagnosed with dementia mainly due to air pollution.B. widespread exposure to traffic will reduce the risk of having dementia.C. the link between living near roads and having dementia was not obvious.D. busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that caused dementia to increase.30. What does the underlined the word correlation mean?A. Change.B. Improvement.C. Association.D. Secret.31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Living near a main road adds to the risk of noise of traffic.B. Living beyond 300 metres of a main road is safe for people.C. Living within 200 metres of a main road has a lower risk of having dementia.D. The further people live away from heavy traffic, the smaller the risk of having dementia. D A good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted, Theres more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar. Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an incredible ice-breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers. I always felt that humor was a ceiling that I could never break through, Hannah Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid, told The Guardian, I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk about was facts. In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. Chinese-American edian Joe Wong found this out firsthand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in xx for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didnt think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones. In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby, said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Australia. When I heard jokes I didnt get, I just laughed along. In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British edian Simon Pegg believes that while Britons use irony-basically, saying something they dont mean to make a joke-every day, people in the US dont see the point of using it so often. British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark, while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings, a bit like, Americans themselves, he wrote in The Guardian.32. The writer quoted the sentence, Theres more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar. to show thatA. making jokes can help you make friends with native speakers.B. local jokes can help you to understand the local culture better.C. understanding jokes requires a good knowledge of vocabulary and grammar.D. to understand its jokes, youd better learn the culture.33. What can we guess about Hannah Ashley?A. She feels confident in using Spanish.B. She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language.C. She thinks that Spanish people do not have much of a sense of humor.D. She feels that not being able to share their humor makes her seem boring to Spanish people.34. Joe Wong is used as an example toA. show that there are cultural differences in humor.B. prove that it can be difficult to translate jokes.C. suggest that bilingual people have no problems in making people laugh.D. show that the expressing ability affects the sense of humor.35. From the article, we can learn thatA. jokes about sports are the most difficult ones for foreign people.B. Americans might not be able to enjoy British jokes.C. not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easily.D. British peoples dark jokes often make people unfortable.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。No matter how old you are, your mom will always remain as one of the most important people in your life.
