Generally, people take vacations to relax themselves. However, one loving grandpa didn’t. When Grandpa David arrived at his Mexican destination, he made a shocking discovery in his suitcase, and went to “work” throughout his vacation.

Small endangered animals are often hard to find in their natural habitats (栖息地), making it difficult for scientists to spot them and develop conservation plans. But new technologies can help. Australian researchers have equipped flying drones (无人机) with cameras so they can spot koalas hiding high in trees.
Koalas spend most of their lives in eucalyptus trees (桉树), whose leaves are their favorite food. Since the leaves are low in calories and nutritional content, koalas are not very active — they sleep up to 20 hours a day. Living in high branches, they are not easy to spot from the ground, and they have few natural predators (捕食者). The greatest threat to them is that lots of trees are being cut down. “Every single tree in Australia, right now, needs to be protected, and unless that happens I can promise you the koala is going to become extinct,” said Deborah Tabart, from the Australian Koala Foundation.
Scientists studying koalas say one of the keys to saving animals is to know where they live and how many of them are left. Using drones fitted with cameras to conduct a census (数目调查) was an untested concept. Queensland Institute of Technology technician Gavin Broadbent said they were doubtful at first. “But when we saw the images come through, we saw the koalas were very clear compared to the trees and the environment. So we thought, yes, this is absolutely a proof of a concept that could work,” he said.
The images sent back to a computer clearly show the animal’s position, even from a distance far enough away not to disturb its sleep. Scientists can scan the trees from all angles, picking out koalas even in the densest (稠密的) areas.
Scientists say it is now clear that drones with cameras can be used for spotting, and perhaps saving, other animals in the wild.
8. What can we learn about koalas from the second paragraph?
A. Koalas eat nothing but eucalyptus leaves.
B. Koalas’ food is high in calories and rich in nutrition.
C. Koalas are not very active because they are fat.
D. Koalas live in high branches so they are difficult to spot.
9. What is making the number of koalas decrease?
A. Excessive hunting. B. Their natural predators.
C. Their habitat being destroyed. D. Climate change.
10. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the new method to spot koalas?
A. It can help prevent koalas from becoming extinct.
B. The pictures shot by the cameras clearly show koalas’ position.
C. It can be carried out without disturbing koalas’ sleep.
D. The koalas in thick areas can be picked out with this method.
11. What would be the best title for the text?
A. How Koalas Live in Australia
B. The Number of the Koalas Is Decreasing Sharply
C. Measures Must Be Taken to Protect Koalas’ Habitat
D. Drones Help Scientists Spot Endangered Koalas
D
Lawrence Ganti from the US has lived in Switzerland Japan, and India. When his work with Merck, a company that develops treatments for many of the world’s most challenging diseases, first took him to Japan, he was struck by how comfortable his Japanese co- workers were with silence. During meetings in the US, people are usually uneasy with quiet and fill a quiet period with talk. Not so in Japan. “You don’t break the silence unless you have something important to say,” says Ganti. Surprisingly, when he next lived in India, he found conversations were typically lively, loud and full of interruptions (打岔). “Silence is never expected,” he says.
The Japanese value the building of trust and relationships, Ganti adds. In Japan, nothing might be achieved in the first meeting, and no real progress may be made until the parties sit down for a lunch or dinner. Ganti remembers greeting foreigners who flew to Japan with the intention of holding their meeting and flying out that same day. “It’s just a half- hour discussion,” they told him. He replied, “That half- hour discussion won’t go anywhere.”
Cyrus Sabouri from New Jersey, the US, had similar experiences in the Middle East. He lives in Bahrain, where he works for American Express Middle East. “Meetings can require personal introductions, which often take up more of the meeting than the things to be discussed,” he says. He was frustrated by this custom when he first moved to the island nation. “You eventually learn that it is hard to draw the line between business and personal life,” he says. “Warm and friendly relationships can be the difference between a deal or no deal with the Bahraini.”
Ganti’s current job with Merck takes him throughout Latin America. While each country presents its own cultural puzzle to figure out, Ganti has found that cultures have a lot in common. In many parts of Latin America, for instance, giving straight advice or criticism in conversation isn’t typical. To make a point, he did just that in meetings, and attendees were often shocked. “I’m usually sent to places where change is needed,” Ganti says. “You have to make changes.”
12. How do Indians differ from the Japanese according to Ganti?
A. They dislike being interrupted. B. They seem nervous in business meetings.
C. They easily accept silence. D. They usually talk excitedly.
13. What had the foreigners going to Japan expected according to paragraph 2?
A. They would have a very interesting meeting. B. They could get their tasks done soon.
C. They could leave Japan the next day. D. They would be invited to dinner.
14. What frustrated Sabouri when he first worked in Bahrain?
A. Bahrainis value relationships very highly. B. There are a lot of long business meetings.
C. Personal introductions are often ignored. D. Work is more important than life there.
15. The author writes the text mainly to ______.
A. introduce his working experience in Latin America
B. discuss American’s impression on Middle East
C. talk about some cultural differences
D. give some facts about Japanese manners

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍是澳大利亚研究人员为无人机配备摄像头,帮助发现躲在树上的考拉,以便为其制定保护计划。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Living in high branches, they are not easy to spot from the ground, and they have few natural predators (捕食者).(它们生活在高高的树枝上,不容易从地面上发现,而且它们几乎没有天敌)”可知,考拉生活在高大的树枝上,很难在地上发现它们。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The greatest threat to them is that lots of trees are being cut down.(对他们最大的威胁是大量的树木被砍伐)”可知,对考拉来说最大的威胁是树木被砍伐,由此可知,造成考拉数量减少的原因是栖息地被破坏。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段“The images sent back to a computer clearly show the animal’s position, even from a distance far enough away not to disturb its sleep. Scientists can scan the trees from all angles, picking out koalas even in the densest (稠密的) areas.(发送回电脑的图像清楚地显示了动物的位置,即使距离足够远,也不会打扰它的睡眠。科学家们可以从各个角度扫描树木,甚至在最密集的地区挑选考拉)”可知,摄像头拍摄的考拉位置很清楚,在很远的距离就可以拍摄得到而不会影响考拉休息,同时,还可以在茂密的地区找到考拉,所有这些都是新设备发现考拉的优点,只有A选项“It can help prevent koalas from becoming extinct.(它可以帮助防止考拉灭绝)”是没有提到的优点。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Small endangered animals are often hard to find in their natural habitats (栖息地), making it difficult for scientists to spot them and develop conservation plans. But new technologies can help. Australian researchers have equipped flying drones (无人机) with cameras so they can spot koalas hiding high in trees.(小型濒危动物往往很难在它们的自然栖息地找到,这使得科学家很难发现它们并制定保护计划。但新技术可以提供帮助。澳大利亚研究人员为无人机配备了摄像头,这样它们就能发现躲在树上的考拉)”并结合下文中对新设备帮助发现考拉的相关信息的介绍可知,本文讲了用无人机搭载摄像机的技术可以清楚地看到藏在树上的考拉,从而可以统计出考拉的数目,便于保护这种濒危动物,因此,本文最好的标题是D选项“Drones Help Scientists Spot Endangered Koalas(无人机帮助科学家发现濒危的考拉)”,故选D。
D

In Japan, nothing might be achieved in the first meeting, and no real progress may be made until the parties sit down for a lunch or dinner. Ganti remembers greeting foreigners who flew to Japan with the intention of holding their meeting and flying out that same day. “It’s just a half- hour discussion,” they told him. He replied, “That half- hour discussion won’t go anywhere.”
Cyrus Sabouri from New Jersey, the US, had similar experiences in the Middle East. He lives in Bahrain, where he works for American Express Middle East. “Meetings can require personal introductions, which often take up more of the meeting than the things to be discussed,” he says. He was frustrated by this custom when he first moved to the island nation. “You eventually learn that it is hard to draw the line between business and personal life,” he says. “Warm and friendly relationships can be the difference between a deal or no deal with the Bahraini.”
Ganti’s current job with Merck takes him throughout Latin America. While each country presents its own cultural puzzle to figure out, Ganti has found that cultures have a lot in common. In many parts of Latin America, for instance, giving straight advice or criticism in conversation isn’t typical. To make a point, he did just that in meetings, and attendees were often shocked. “I’m usually sent to places where change is needed,” Ganti says. “You have to make changes.”
12. How do Indians differ from the Japanese according to Ganti?
A. They dislike being interrupted. B. They seem nervous in business meetings.
C. They easily accept silence. D. They usually talk excitedly.
13. What had the foreigners going to Japan expected according to paragraph 2?
A. They would have a very interesting meeting. B. They could get their tasks done soon.
C. They could leave Japan the next day. D. They would be invited to dinner.
14. What frustrated Sabouri when he first worked in Bahrain?
A. Bahrainis value relationships very highly. B. There are a lot of long business meetings.
C Personal introductions are often ignored. D. Work is more important than life there.
15. The author writes the text mainly to ______.
A. introduce his working experience in Latin America
B. discuss American’s impression on Middle East
C. talk about some cultural differences
D. give some facts about Japanese manners
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“He was frustrated by this custom when he first moved to the island nation. “You eventually learn that it is hard to draw the line between business and personal life,” he says. “Warm and friendly relationships can be the difference between a deal or no deal with the Bahraini.”(当他刚搬到这个岛国时,他对这种习俗感到沮丧。他说:“你最终会发现,很难在工作和个人生活之间划清界限。”“能否与Bahraini达成协议的关键可能是温馨友好的关系。”)”可知,当Sabouri第一次在Bahrain工作时,让他沮丧的是巴林人非常重视人际关系。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“When his work with Merck, a company that develops treatments for many of the world’s most challenging diseases, first took him to Japan, he was struck by how comfortable his Japanese co- workers were with silence.(当他在Merck工作时,第一次去日本时,他被他的日本同事对沉默的适应程度所震惊。Merck为世界上许多最具挑战性的疾病开发治疗方法。)”,倒数第二段的““Meetings can require personal introductions, which often take up more of the meeting than the things to be discussed,” he says. He was frustrated by this custom when he first moved to the island nation. “You eventually learn that it is hard to draw the line between business and personal life,” he says. “Warm and friendly relationships can be the difference between a deal or no deal with the Bahraini.”(他表示:“会议可能需要进行个人介绍,这往往比要讨论的事情占用了更多的会议时间。”当他刚搬到这个岛国时,他对这种习俗感到沮丧。他说:“你最终会发现,很难在工作和个人生活之间划清界限。”“能否与Bahraini达成协议的关键可能是温馨友好的关系。”)”和最后一段的“In many parts of Latin America, for instance, giving straight advice or criticism in conversation isn’t typical.(例如,在拉丁美洲的许多地方,在谈话中直接给出建议或批评并不常见。)”可知,本文主要讲的是美国的Lawrence Ganti在日本、中东以及拉丁美洲所感受到的文化差异,因此作者写本文的目的是谈论文化差异。故选C。

【36题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:12月6日,中央广播电视总台公布了2024年春晚的官方吉祥物“龙辰辰”。由by可知,句子用被动语态,由on Dec.6可知,句子描述过去的事情,因此句子用一般过去时的被动语态,主语“Loong Chenchen”是单数,因此空格处是was announced。故填was announced。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:“龙辰辰”这个名字包含了汉字“龙”,在英语中翻译为“龙”。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词“Loong”是物,因此空格处用关系代词which。故填which。

【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:与这一丰富的传统相一致,吉祥物体现了吉祥,平安和幸福的吉祥含义。空格处用名词作宾语,happy的名词是happiness,意为“幸福”,是不可数名词。故填happiness。
【41题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:吉祥物的设计非常完美,它的灵感来自于中国深厚而悠久的传统文化。China和deep and enduring traditional culture之间是所属关系,因此空格处用名词所有格China’s。故填China’s。
