ZOO TEEN COMMITMENT(承诺) Once accepted, Zoo Teens must: *complete the initial training program and pass a background check *pass a final exam with a score of at least 80% *volunteer at least 20 hours during May and August, and an additional five hours during June and July *attend 7 out of 10 assigned (指定的) Saturday or Sunday volunteer days (weekend assignments are not required in June and July) *attend at least one protection event per year *assist with at least one special event per year HOW TO APPLY Teens interested in this program must complete and present an application.

The top 50-55 applicants are interviewed in November; of these, about 40 teens are invited to join the Zoo Teen program. All applicants are contacted in November regarding their application result. 21.What is required of a Zoo Teen? A. He must be at least 18 years old. B. He must have volunteering experience. C. He must finish the initial training program. D. He must volunteer on weekends in June and July. 22. How long is a Zoo Teen expected to work during June and July at least? A.5 hours. B.15 hours.

Provide a list of all previous volunteering experiences. D. Refer to the rubric while filling in the application form. B “Tell me your names and which year of graduate school you’re in,” the visiting speaker asked. My discomfort grew as everyone else gave their answers. When my turn came, I swallowed and said I was in my sixth year. “I think it is the student’s problem if she spends over 5 years finishing a PhD,” the speaker replied. His comment was the final shot. Right from the start of graduate school, I had been aware that the requirements of my department and my adviser might make my PhD take longer than average. Students need to publish two first-author papers to graduate and my adviser requires his students to take the lead in all experiments so we can have full ownership of our work and develop various scientific techniques. I was comfortable with taking longer to become an independent scientist. My adviser had some projects he wanted to handle and I chose one to work on, knowing I could draw on his expertise(专业知识) and gain support from lab mates. However, I investigated 10 different hypotheses (假说)-- just to prove each a dead end. Each time the only choice was to make the next likely hypothesis and start over in a different direction. The lack of progress was wearing me down. Then came the speaker’s comment. I broke down and went to my adviser. He pointed out that over the past 6 years I had mastered many difficult techniques. My growing expertise was comparable with the very best. If I didn’t have the answer to my research question yet, it was because of the complexity (复杂性) of the answer, not because of personal weaknesses. This viewpoint calmed me. It helped me push forward with determination and willpower. Under my adviser’s continued guidance and support, I hit on a hypothesis that worked out and I graduated finally. Looking back on my PhD life, I realized many graduate students were in the same boat as I was. I wish I could tell them what I came to learn: No one’s PhD journey is the same; all we need to do is stick to it. 24.What contributed to the author’s longer-than-average PhD journey? A. The complex project she’d worked on. B. Her lack of desire to complete the research. C. Her poor understanding of scientific techniques and skills. D. The high standards set by the department and the adviser. 25.What can we learn about the author throughout the research process? A. She turned a deaf ear to others’ advice. B. She lacked talent for scientific research. C. She met with many struggles and failures. D. She easily gave up when faced with challenges. 26.Which of the following words can best describe the author’s adviser? A. Unhelpful. B. Supportive. C. Thoughtful. D. Demanding. 27.What lesson can we draw from the author’s experience? A. All the roads lead to Rome. B. Well begun is half done. C. Slow and steady wins the race. D. Actions speak louder than words. C Following its move into podcasting (播客) two years ago, streaming platform Spotify started an audiobook (有声书) business. Though it has yet to start making its own recordings, last autumn it made a deal for 200,000 audiobooks to be available to its VIP users. Not to be beaten, Amazon-owned Audible, which had been used to being the market leader, upped its game, hiring Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes to record multi-voice versions (版本 ) of Dickens’ novels Oliver Twist and David Copperfield, and announcing last month that it had reached an agreement for a recording of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, voiced by more than 100 actors and featuring a “groundbreaking new soundscape”. Dramatised audiobooks are not an entirely new phenomenon. The use of multiple voices made them accessible to readers who might not have had the patience for the written versions. For example, George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo, which surrounded the dead son of Abraham Lincoln with a group of spirit voices, became a great game of “spot the big name”. Even single-voice readings can significantly change literature in which style is at the heart. Lucy Ellmann’s hit Ducks, Newburyport, is a case in point: a thousand-page stream of an Ohio woman’s thoughts, written in a single sentence. It unfolds on audio as a 45-hour monologue (独白)，which is not the same thing at all, if only because an actor needs to breathe. To say that audio versions are different does not mean they are not as good as printed texts, as brain scans (扫描) have shown that they excite the same parts of the brain. Additionally, listening to stories makes hearts beat stronger than watching them, according to a latest study. For people with dyslexia (阅读障碍)，they can even be a lifeline—as they can be for those who do not have time for, or the habit of, reading books. So while we celebrate what audiobooks have in common with their printed versions--both enable the brain to create its own pictures in a world where pre-produced images too often do all the work for us --we should also recognize that they are translations into a different medium, even when read by the authors themselves. What is certain is that there is room for both. 28. What strategy did Audible use to maintain its market leader position? 　　A. Creating its own prize-winning audiobook content. 　　B. Focusing on single-voice audiobook productions. 　　C. Offering low-priced audiobooks to its new customers. 　　D. Inviting a well-known director to record classic novels. 29. How does the author present the effects of different versions of audiobooks? 　　A. By giving examples. B. By sharing readers’ experiences. 　　C. By presenting data. D. By referring to experts’ words. 30. What is the purpose of the last but one paragraph? A. To show the advantages of audiobooks. B. To compare audiobooks with printed texts. 　　C. To inform readers of findings about audiobooks. D. To stress audiobooks’ value in treating dyslexia. 31. What is the author’s view on the future of audiobooks and printed texts? A. It depends on the choices of readers.　 B. Both of them hold the future of reading. 　 C. Audiobook popularity is not expected to last. D. Audiobooks will eventually replace printed texts. D The pleasure people get from a piece of music has been linked to its effects on our emotional responses and ability to form social connections. The degree of enjoyment differs from person to person, but little is known about why. To see if genetics (遗传学) can account for it, Giacomo Bignardi at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands and his colleagues conducted a new study. The researchers looked at more than 9,000 twins from the Swedish Twin Registry. About 3,400 were identical (同卵的) and 5,600 non-identical. The former share the same genome (基因组), while non-identical twins share only half their genomes, which enabled the researchers to determine the effects of genes through comparison. Besides, all the twins in the study were raised in the same households and so grew up with similar environmental influences. This made it easier to sort out genetic contributions. The researchers got the twins to complete the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire, which focused on how much pleasure they get from music. For example, they were asked the extent to which they agreed with statements such as “when I share music with someone I feel a special connection with that person” and “in my free time I hardly listen to music”. The result showed that genes seem to play a significant role in influencing how much pleasure music brings, with the identical twins being more than twice as similar in this feature as the non-identical ones. “While it’s fairly understandable that musical ability might have a genetic basis, which provides an easy explanation for why some people seem to have a talent for music, it’s obscure that the degree of pleasure from listening to music is influenced by genes, so it is inspiring that the study finds this effect,” says Peter Harrison at the University of Cambridge. However, Nick Collins at Durham University, UK thinks differently. “Certain musical abilities and preferences may be influenced by genetics, but there are a large number of cultural elements in music development that are not addressed by genetics alone,” he says. 32. What can we learn from paragraph 2? 　　A. How twins contribute to the progress of genetic research. 　　B. Why the researchers chose the twins as research subjects. 　　C. What makes the new study different from previous ones. 　　D. What inspired the researchers to conduct the new study. 33. What is the finding of the new study? 　　A. The secret of musical talent lies in our genes. 　　B. Our genes determine what kind of music we like. 　　C. Our genes can influence how much we enjoy music. 　　D. The pleasure that different people get from music varies greatly. 34. Which can best replace the underlined word “obscure” in paragraph 4? 　　A. easy to conclude B. reasonable to assume 　　C. impossible to prove D. difficult to see 35. What is Nick Collins’ attitude towards the research finding? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes, it’s good to be bored “I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom. 36 That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result? 37 In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver. “An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. “ 38 ” Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun games to play — with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever. The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don’t struggle to overcome these slow moments. “ 39 ” Mann says. “This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.” So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can’t be distracted by her phone. 40 The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom — to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one. A．And there is, of course, bad boredom. B．Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas. C．But what if boredom is a meaningful experience? D．These moments are a lot more valuable than expected. E．Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless. F．We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices. G．When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节；满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 João Carlos Martins is a famous pianist and conductor.
