The lions will think their

12、 intended prey has seen them and will give up, since theyve lost the element of surprise.This psychological trickery has been called “iCow”, which is actually not as strange as it sounds. The eye-like patterns on butterfly wings are known to prevent preying birds and woodcutters in Indian forests we

13、ar masks on the backs of their heads when working to discourage hungry tigers.The inspiration for the iCow strategy came while Jordan was based in a village in Botswana, when two lionesses were killed by local farmers to revenge their cattles death. The African lion is a vulnerable species, with num

14、bers dropping from over 100,000 in the 1990s to about 30,000 today. Much of that decline is due to these kinds of revengeful killings because farmers have no effective strategies for protecting their herds.“Lions are hunters that like to attack by surprise. They move slowly, quietly and carefully to

15、 their prey, get close and jump on them unseen,” he said. When Jordan was watching a lion follow an antelope one day, he noticed the lion gave up the hunt once the antelope spotted it.So he joined one of the local farmers on a 10-week trial study, painting eyes on one-third of a herd of 62 cattle. W

16、hen the cattle returned each night, they took a head count to see how many had survived. Only three cows were killed by lions during this period-all without the painted eyes on their behinds. And all the painted cows survived. However, Jordan warned that so far this is just a promising idea. He is n

17、ow back in Botswana for a more ambitious study, armed with GPS devices to better monitor the movement of predators and prey.1、The iCow strategy is designed to .Akill the lions Bwarn the preys of dangerCidentify the cattle Dscare off animals that kill2、When hunting, lions like to .Agive up halfway Bh

19、terns on butterfly wings.22（8分） Although the idea of “zero emission, net carbon-positive, sustainable (可持續(xù))” development was promoted worldwide, most cities are at a loss what to do or even some have objected to it. But in Liuzhou, a city in southern China, attitudes could not be more different.The

20、Liuzhou Municipality Urban Planning Bureau has signed up Italian architect Stefano Boeri, the father of the forest city movement, to build a self-contained community for up to 30,000 people. He is the go-to man for such projects thanks to the success of his “vertical forests”, two residential (住宅的)

21、towers. Completed in 2014, they remove up to 17.5 tons of soot (煤煙) from the air each year, and a year later one of them was named Best Tall Building Worldwide.The Liuzhou project is a much more ambitious undertaking, however. Its homes, hospitals, hotels, schools and offices will be built on a 340-

22、acre site in what Boeri calls the first attempt to create an “urban environment that is really trying to find a balance with nature”. Its 100 species of plant life are expected to absorb almost 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide and 57 tons of pollutants per year, while at the same time producing 900 ton

23、s of life-giving oxygen.Although the architects havent published the cost of the forest city, the Milan towers cost only five percent more than traditional skyscrapers.The construction of his forest city at Liuzhou is set to begin in 2020, and there is still a great deal of planning and research req

24、uired before a projected completion date can be set. However, Boeri remains optimistic about the project and has confidence in the soundness of his vision: “I really think that bringing forests into the city is a way to deal with global warming.”1、Whats Liuzhous attitude towards the sustainable deve

25、lopment?AApproving.BCautious.CUnfavorable.DDoubtful.2、Why is Stefano employed for the Liu Zhou project?AHe volunteered to do the project.BHe is a famous architect in the world.CHe is the father of the forest recovery.DHe has gained experience in similar projects.3、What does the underlined word “they

26、” refer to?AThe architects.BThe two towers.CForests in the city.DThe residents of the city.4、Whats the purpose of Liu Zhou project?ATo provide more jobs.BTo bring forest into city.CTo solve house shortage.DTo improve the environment.23（8分）Company Names That Have Secret MeaningsCo-founder Larry Page

27、was at a brainstorming session at Stanford for a new massive data indexing website. Someone suggested “googolplex”one of the largest describable NUMBERS. Page shortened it to “googol.” When he later checked for the availability of the domain name, he made a mistake and typed in “google” instead. But

28、 he liked the name and registered it for himself and co-founder Sergey Brin.This luxury car maker combined elements from the Ford and Oldsmobile companies when it was started in 1902 and later became known for its innovation and high quality. The company was named for the French explorer Antoine Lau

29、met de la Mothe Cadillac, who founded the city of Detroit in 101.Company co-founder Gordon Bowker has said that while brainstorming names, someone brought out a map that featured the old mining town of Starbo. That may have led him to think of Starbuck, the first mate in Herman Melvilles famous nove

30、l, Moby Dick. Not only the company name but also the origin of its logo has aroused great curiosity.The inventor of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, was looking to make an elegant, yet precise, wristwatch. He wanted a name that was easy to say, worked in different languages, and looked good on the watches. He

31、settled on Rolex in 1908.16、Which company name has a close relationship with literature?AGoogle.BCadillac.CStarbucks.DRolex.1、Which of the following statements is True?AGoogle was adopted because “googol” was not available then.BCadillac was named after the founding father of the company.CStarbucks

32、was used due to the co-founders love for his town.DHans Wilsdorf intended Rolex to be universally accepted.24（8分）Exactly five years ago, on New Years Eve, I was invited to a childrens ball by a man high up in the business world, who had his connections, his circle of acquaintances, and his close fri

33、ends. So it seemed as though the childrens ball was merely an excuse for the parents to come together and discuss matters of interest to themselves, quite innocently and casually.I was an outsider, and, as I had no special matters to air, I was able to spend the evening independently of the others.

34、There was another gentleman present who like me had just stumbled upon (偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)) this affair of domestic happiness. He was the first to attract my attention. His appearance was not that of a man of noble birth. He was tall, rather thin, very serious, and well dressed. Obviously he had no heart for the

35、family celebration. The instant he went off into a corner by himself the smile disappeared from his face, and his thick dark brows knitted into a frown(皺眉). He knew no one except the host and showed every sign of being bored to death, though bravely keeping the role of thorough enjoyment to the end.

36、 Later I learned that he was a provincial, had come to the capital on some important business, had brought a letter of recommendation to our host, and our host had taken him under his protection, not at all with love. It was merely out of politeness that he had invited him to the childrens ball.They

37、 did not play cards with him. They did not offer him cigars. No one entered into conversation with him. Possibly they recognized the bird by its feathers from a distance. Thus, my gentleman, not knowing what to do with his hands, was compelled(迫使) to spend the evening stroking (撫摸) his whiskers(胡須).

38、 His whiskers were really fine, but he stroked them so eagerly that one got the feeling that the whiskers had come into the world first and afterwards the man in order to stroke them.1、According to the author, the real purpose of the children ball was that _.Athe parents wanted to make their childre

39、n happyBthe parents had a chance to meet and socializeCthe host hoped to make the guests happyDthe host wanted to give a welcome to an important guest2、The gentleman was unhappy because _.Ahe was one of the poor relatives of the hostBhe was from the countrysideChe was trying to do some business with

40、 the hostDhe was not really welcome in the ball3、The gentleman touched his whiskers eagerly just because _.Ahe liked his whiskers very much Bhe had the habit of doing soChe was embarrassed in the ball Dhe felt uneasy wearing whiskers4、When the author was telling the story, he was _.Ahumorous Bseriou

41、sCjoking Ddoubtful25（10分） I was having a great morning until I sat down in front of my office computer. “Your password has expired(過期),” a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it.Coming up with a new code doesnt seem like a big deal, unless you work at my company, wher

42、e we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one numeral. Oh, and the whole darn thing cant be fewer than eight characters. And I cant use any of the same passwords Ive used in the past three months.Suddenly I was furious. What didn

43、t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief over what she had done to me was all I thought about. Every day.My anger didnt mean anything to the empty input field with a pulsating cursor (閃動的光標(biāo)), waiting for me to type a password that Id have to re-enter ma

44、ny times for the next 30 days. I remembered a tip Id heard from my former boss. Hed said, “Im going to use a password to change my life.”I couldnt focus on getting things done in my current mood. There were clear indicators of what I needed to do to regain control of my life, but I couldnt notice th

45、em.My password became the indicator. My password reminded me that I shouldnt let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it.I made my password Forgiveh3r.I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my computer would lock. Each time m

46、y screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would come back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I wrote Forgive her every day.The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder of reconciliation led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my

47、marriage and embrace a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt a slow healing begin to take place. By the time my server prompted me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I t

48、hought about the next thing that I had to get done.My password became Quitsmoking4ever.I quit smoking overnight. This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal.One mon

49、th later, my password became Save4tripthailand.Guess where I went three months later: Thailand.Seeing how these reminders helped to materialize my goals kept me motivated and excited. While its sometimes difficult to come up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results.Here is a simplifie

50、d extract of what some of my passwords have been in the past two years, so you get an idea of how my life has changed, thanks to this method:Forgiveh3r To my ex-wife, who started it all.Quitsmoking4ever It worked.Save4tripthailand It worked.Eat2timesday It never worked, still fat.Sleepbefore12 It wo

53、Because his former boss told him to use it to change his life.3、What can we learn from the password “Save4ring”for last month?AHe will call his mother every week.BHe will soon ask his girl friend to marry him.CHis password will help him save money.DHe will be reminded to save his password.4、What mig
