The Arnolfini Portrait The Arnolfini Portrait of Jan van Eyck, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties. The Starry Night Vincent Willem van Gogh painted The Starry Night, an oil on canvas (油画布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works. The Harvesters The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.It depicts the harvest time which most commonly emerged within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919. Guernica Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937.The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. 1. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest? A. Guernica. B. The Harvesters. C. The Starry Night. D. The Amolfini Portrait. 2. What do we know about the painting The Starry Night? A. It was painted on wood in oils. B. It described the painter’s life in hospital. C. It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941. D. It was given away to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City by a collector. 3. Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons? A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B. Vincent van Gogh. C. Jan van Eyck. D. Pablo Picasso. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四幅著名画作：《阿尔诺芬尼夫妇像》、《星月夜》、《收割者》和《格尔尼卡》。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Arnolfini Portrait中“The Arnolfini Portrait of Jan van Eyck, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434(1434年制作的木面油画《阿尔诺芬尼夫妇像》)”；The Starry Night中“during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890(1889年至1890年，文森特·威廉·梵高在法国普罗旺斯圣-雷姆米附近的精神病院住了12个月，期间创作了一幅油画《星月夜》)”；The Harvesters中“The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.( 《收割者》是彼得·勃鲁盖尔创作于1565年的木本油画。)”和Guernica中“Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937.( 《格尔尼卡》是一幅大型黑白油画，由西班牙立体派画家巴勃罗·毕加索于1937年创作。)”可知，《阿尔诺芬尼夫妇像》创作于 1434 年；《星月夜》创作于 1889 - 1890 年；《收割者》创作于 1565 年；《格尔尼卡》创作于 1937 年。所以创作时间最早的是《阿尔诺芬尼夫妇像》。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Starry Night中“When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works.( 1941年，纽约现代艺术博物馆（Museum of Modern Art）从一位私人收藏家手中买下这幅画时，它并不为人所知，但它后来成为梵高最著名的作品之一。)”可知，在 1941 年之前，《星月夜》并不广为人知。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Harvesters中“The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly emerged within the months of August and September.( 《收割者》是彼得·勃鲁盖尔创作于1565年的木本油画。它描绘了收获季节，通常出现在8月和9月。)”可知，是彼得・勃鲁盖尔（Pieter Bruegel the Elder）创作了这幅描绘丰收季节的画。故选A项。 B Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature—not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have. If the task was as a strange one, it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly limited myself to essays. It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum. Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once, and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (诗节) over and over, and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast, I had the whole thing, all 40 lines of it, in my head. Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you run your hands through the rock, the lines at last come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure. In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep beating in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. 4. Why did Robert L. Hass advise students to read poems? A. To become literature professors. B. To prepare for the coming exams. C. To compose more original poems. D. To relieve their future loneliness. 5. Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A. It’s out of date to recite poems. B. Repetition wastes a lot of time. C. Repetition ruins the poem’s beauty. D. It’s a shame to read poems on plane. 6. How does understanding poetry influence us? A. By broadening self-understanding. B. By refreshing our good memories. C. By helping us survive the hard life. D. By reminding us to forget the past. 7 What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph? A. Doubtful. B. Reserved. C. Appreciative. D. Critical. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者朋友多年前被诗人Robert L. Hass布置了一项特别任务——背诵三首诗，以及作者自己后来开始背诵诗歌的经历和感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have(他声称，这不是因为任何紧急的考试原因，而是为了让他们为将来不可避免的孤独时刻做好准备，届时诗歌将成为你唯一拥有的东西)。”可知，Robert L. Hass的目的是为了让学生在未来孤独时有所依靠，以缓解孤独感。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has(因为这个过程既简单又无聊，背诵一首伟大的诗总是开始得像是一种罪过。重复的无聊减少了它所具有的巨大魅力)。”可知，作者认为背诵诗歌的过程中，重复的无聊会破坏诗歌的魅力，因此开始背诵诗歌时就像是一种罪过。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are(换句话说，诗歌通过成为读者的一部分而不断存在。它之所以能做到这一点，是因为它是如此的具体，与我们如此的不同，以至于接受它扩展了我们对自己是什么的感觉)。”可知，理解诗歌可以扩展我们对自我的认识，影响我们对自我的理解。A选项“By broadening self-understanding.(通过拓宽自我理解)”符合题意。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become(我不会向你保证背诵诗歌会让你的生活变得更好，但它会让你变得更多：更多地接触语言，接触其他思想，也许还有你可能成为的样子)。”可知，作者对背诵诗歌持赞赏的态度，认为背诵诗歌可以让人更多地接触语言、其他思想和可能的自我。故选C。 C We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these obsolete devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things. To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007. As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window. So what’s the solution? The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. 8. What does the underlined word “obsolete” mean in the first paragraph? A. Outdated. B. Eco-friendly. C. Moderate. D. Sensitive. 9. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research? A. To reduce the cost of minerals. B. To test the life cycle of a product. C. To update consumers on new technology. D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices. 10. Which of the following uses the least energy? A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet. C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer. 11. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices? A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart. C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章揭示人们持续使用旧电子设备这一现象及其带来的负面影响，并提出相应的解决建议。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets (我们可能会认为，在我们的文化中，一看到闪亮的新东西，我们就会扔掉旧的技术，但一项新的研究表明，即使旧设备过时了，我们也会继续使用它们。这对环境和我们的钱包来说是个坏消息)”可推测下文意思是因为这些过时的设备比做同样事情的新设备消耗更多的能源。所以obsolete意为“过时的”，和Outdated同义，故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life (为了弄清楚这些设备的耗电量，纽约罗切斯特理工学院的Callie Babbitt和她的同事们追踪了每个产品在其整个生命周期中的环境成本)”可知，Babbitt 团队进行研究是为了弄清楚这些设备使用多少电量，也就是找出设备的电力消耗情况，故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. (他们发现，在平板电脑上观看更多的点播娱乐节目，而不是电视和台式电脑，可以减少44%的能源消耗。)”可知，用平板电脑观看娱乐节目比电视和台式电脑能削减 44% 的能源消耗，由此可知平板电脑使用的能源最少，故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So what’s the solution? The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. (那么解决方案是什么呢？研究小组的数据只持续到2007年，但研究人员也探索了如果消费者用新电子产品取代旧产品会发生什么，这些新电子产品具有多种功能，比如用于文字处理和看电视的平板电脑。他们发现，在平板电脑上观看更多的点播娱乐节目，而不是电视和台式电脑，可以减少44%的能源消耗。)”可知如果消费者用新的多功能电子产品取代旧产品，能削减能源消耗，故推断建议人们停止使用旧电子设备，故选A。 D Great white sharks have been described as the most violent creature ever since the release of “Jaws” in 1975. But what if instead of one shark appearing, two were working together? Scientists say research off Mexico’s Guadalupe Island in the Pacific Ocean shows great white sharks are sociable and will sometimes work together to increase their chances of catching prey (猎物). Guadalupe Island is home to a small group of scientists and a popular tourist destination for spotting great white sharks because of a large quantity of seals. What makes this location unique is the waters off the island are very clear. A team of scientists from Florida International University created a “super social tag” tracking device to put on the great white sharks. With a video camera and sensors (传感器) detecting a shark’s depth and direction, the device also has receivers to detect when other sharks are near them. The team then put the devices on three male and three female white sharks over a four-year period. The data showed sharks preferred to be in groups of the same sex (性别), but their ways of hunting were unique. One shark had the tag on for only 30 hours, but it associated with 12 other sharks. Another that had the tag on for five days was only with two other sharks. “Most associations were short, but there were sharks where we found considerably longer associations.” Yannis Papastamatiou, lead author of the study, said. “Seventy minutes is a long time to be swimming around with another white shark.” Papastamatiou said there is no clear answer to why white sharks are being social, but it’s probably because if one shark is successful in finding large prey, another will want to know how to have the same success. The sample size is small, but Papastamatiou said the findings give scientists a window into the relationship between sharks. He hopes to develop tracking systems that can be used for weeks, possibly years, to see the development of relationships between sharks. 12. What does the author want to tell us in the first 2 paragraphs? A. The social nature of sharks. B. The purpose of the research. C. The content of Jaws. D. The violence of sharks. 13. What’s the purpose of using the “super social tag”? A. To increase the chance of hunting. B. To promote associations among sharks. C. To keep track of the sharks’ activities. D. To study the relationships between sharks and seals. 14. What can we learn about sharks in paragraph 5? A. They are of the same sex. B. They have different hunting habits. C They have more frequent communications. D. Their associations last 70 minutes at least. 15. How does Papaslamatiou feel about his future study? A. Uncertain. B. Doubtful. C. Promising. D. Overconfident. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家们在太平洋墨西哥瓜达卢佩岛附近的一份研究，结果表明大白鲨是群居的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一自然段第二句“But what if instead of one shark appearing, two were working together?(但如果不是一条鲨鱼出现，而是两条鲨鱼在一起工作呢？)”以及第二自然段“Scientists say research off Mexico’s Guadalupe Island in the Pacific Ocean shows great white sharks are sociable and will sometimes work together to increase their chances of catching prey.(科学家说，太平洋墨西哥瓜达卢佩岛附近的研究表明，大白鲨是群居的，有时会一起工作，以增加捕捉猎物的机会。)”可知，作者想通过这两个自然段告诉我们鲨鱼的社交天性。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四自然段“With a video camera and sensors(传感器) detecting a shark’s depth and direction, the device also has receivers to detect when other sharks are near them.(通过摄像机和传感器检测鲨鱼的深度和方向，该设备还具有接收器，可以检测其他鲨鱼何时靠近它们。)”可知，使用“超级社交标签”是为了跟踪鲨鱼的活动。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五自然段“One shark had the tag on for only 30 hours, but it associated with 12 other sharks. Another that had the tag on for five days was only with two other sharks. “Most associations were short, but there were sharks where we found considerably longer associations.” (一条鲨鱼带着追踪器30个小时，但它与其他12条鲨鱼有联系。另一条戴着追踪器五天的鲨鱼只和另外两条鲨鱼在一起。该研究的主要作者亚尼斯·帕帕斯塔马蒂欧说：“大多数联系都很短，但我们发现鲨鱼的联系要长得多。”)”可知，鲨鱼之间的交流更加频繁。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“but Papastamatiou said the findings give scientists a window into the relationship between sharks. He hopes to develop tracking systems that can be used for weeks, possibly years, to see the development of relationships between sharks.(但帕帕斯塔马蒂欧说，这些发现为科学家们了解鲨鱼之间的关系提供了一扇窗户。他希望开发出可以使用数周甚至数年的追踪系统，以观察鲨鱼之间关系的发展。)”可知，Papastamatiou认为他将来的研究是有希望的、有前途的。故选C。 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 School success means different things to different people.

Not knowing they were poor, the kids just thought their mother was strict in money management. Melissa was really glad about that. Christmas was just around the corner. Although there wasn't budget for a lot of gifts, Melissa planned to please the kids with a family party. She prepared weeks ahead of time, asking one by one what the kids wanted for Christmas.

Mellissa drove the kids to a nearby Walmart and gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill. “Now, my children,” she announced, “you have two hours to pick a gift in the supermarket.

Ginger shook her head and said that she gave the bill to a man who was begging outside the supermarket. The man in rags was standing in cold weather. There was no doubt that he was homeless and had a hard time. “We have so much, but the homeless man doesn't have anything,” Ginger explained. “I am willing to share my happiness with him. I hope he can buy warm clothes or treat himself to a good dinner.” She added, with eyes shining with excitement. Hearing her daughters' words, Melissa felt a sense of pride swept through her. “What you did is right, Ginger. You are such a kind child that we are proud of you,” she said.

The Arnolfini Portrait The Arnolfini Portrait of Jan van Eyck, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties. The Starry Night Vincent Willem van Gogh painted The Starry Night, an oil on canvas (油画布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works. The Harvesters The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.It depicts the harvest time which most commonly emerged within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919. Guernica Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937.The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. 1. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest? A. Guernica. B. The Harvesters. C. The Starry Night. D. The Amolfini Portrait. 2. What do we know about the painting The Starry Night? A. It was painted on wood in oils. B. It described the painter’s life in hospital. C. It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941. D. It was given away to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City by a collector. 3. Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons? A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B. Vincent van Gogh. C. Jan van Eyck. D. Pablo Picasso. B Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature—not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have. If the task was as a strange one, it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly limited myself to essays. It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum. Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once, and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (诗节) over and over, and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast, I had the whole thing, all 40 lines of it, in my head. Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you run your hands through the rock, the lines at last come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure. In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep beating in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. 4. Why did Robert L. Hass advise students to read poems? A. To become literature professors. B. To prepare for the coming exams. C. To compose more original poems. D. To relieve their future loneliness. 5. Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A. It’s out of date to recite poems. B. Repetition wastes a lot of time. C. Repetition ruins the poem’s beauty. D. It’s a shame to read poems on plane. 6. How does understanding poetry influence us? A. By broadening self-understanding. B. By refreshing our good memories. C. By helping us survive the hard life. D. By reminding us to forget the past. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph? A. Doubtful. B. Reserved. C. Appreciative. D. Critical. C We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these obsolete devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things. To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007. As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window. So what’s the solution? The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. 8. What does the underlined word “obsolete” mean in the first paragraph? A. Outdated. B. Eco-friendly. C Moderate. D. Sensitive. 9. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research? A. To reduce the cost of minerals. B. To test the life cycle of a product. C. To update consumers on new technology. D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices. 10. Which of the following uses the least energy? A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet. C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer. 11. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices? A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart. C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them. D Great white sharks have been described as the most violent creature ever since the release of “Jaws” in 1975. But what if instead of one shark appearing, two were working together? Scientists say research off Mexico’s Guadalupe Island in the Pacific Ocean shows great white sharks are sociable and will sometimes work together to increase their chances of catching prey (猎物). Guadalupe Island is home to a small group of scientists and a popular tourist destination for spotting great white sharks because of a large quantity of seals. What makes this location unique is the waters off the island are very clear. A team of scientists from Florida International University created a “super social tag” tracking device to put on the great white sharks. With a video camera and sensors (传感器) detecting a shark’s depth and direction, the device also has receivers to detect when other sharks are near them. The team then put the devices on three male and three female white sharks over a four-year period. The data showed sharks preferred to be in groups of the same sex (性别), but their ways of hunting were unique. One shark had the tag on for only 30 hours, but it associated with 12 other sharks. Another that had the tag on for five days was only with two other sharks. “Most associations were short, but there were sharks where we found considerably longer associations.” Yannis Papastamatiou, lead author of the study, said. “Seventy minutes is a long time to be swimming around with another white shark.” Papastamatiou said there is no clear answer to why white sharks are being social, but it’s probably because if one shark is successful in finding large prey, another will want to know how to have the same success. The sample size is small, but Papastamatiou said the findings give scientists a window into the relationship between sharks. He hopes to develop tracking systems that can be used for weeks, possibly years, to see the development of relationships between sharks. 12. What does the author want to tell us in the first 2 paragraphs? A. The social nature of sharks. B. The purpose of the research. C. The content of Jaws. D. The violence of sharks. 13. What’s the purpose of using the “super social tag”? A. To increase the chance of hunting. B. To promote associations among sharks. C. To keep track of the sharks’ activities. D. To study the relationships between sharks and seals. 14. What can we learn about sharks in paragraph 5? A. They are of the same sex. B. They have different hunting habits. C. They have more frequent communications. D. Their associations last 70 minutes at least. 15. How does Papaslamatiou feel about his future study? A. Uncertain. B. Doubtful. C. Promising. D. Overconfident. 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 School success means different things to different people.
