How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 33. How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A. By imagining the way. B. By counting their steps. C. By bringing food together. D. By walking through a forest. 34. What can some fish do with the help the earth’s magnetic field? A. They can swim as far as 110 metres and bring food home. B. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large area. C. They can swim a long way to a place and then back. D. They can make a smell map of their swimming area. 35. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 36. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Birds’ Sense of Light B. Fish’s Sense of Smell C. Animals’ Sense of Direction D. Animals’ Sense of Magnetic Field 【答案】33. B 34. C 35. B 36. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一些动物具有不寻常的方向感，使它们能够在长距离旅行后找到回家的路。这些动物的方向感依赖于各种特殊能力，如依靠步数、嗅觉、磁场等。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost.”可知，这种蚂蚁是通过数自己的步数来避免迷路从而找到路的。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back.”可知，这种磁场会引导某种鱼类在长途游泳到某个地方后返回。故选C。 【35题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段主要通过一个事实来引出主题，文章第二段、第三段、第四段分别举了一些例子来论证动物具有某些不寻常的方向感，文章第五段总结全文，呼吁人们做些小事来帮助动物，故结构为总—分—总。故选B。 【36题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文内容可知，本文列举了几个典型的动物能用自己的特殊功能判断方向的事例，因此用“动物的方向感”作为本文的标题是最合适的。故选C。 D David Stringer is a star in the Chinese community in New Zealand’s South Island because he plays traditional Chinese musical instrument hulusi so well.

There is a hulusi club in Christchurch, and Stringer was encouraged to join it and has performed (表演) with the members there many times. “I feel lucky to make friends with Chinese people in the club, learn from and perform with them.

Sharing can make our life much easier. Think winter in summer Ants know there are seasons. They collect food and build the nest all through the summer even when they still have enough to eat.

Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 33. How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A. By imagining the way. B. By counting their steps. C. By bringing food together. D. By walking through a forest. 34. What can some fish do with the help the earth’s magnetic field? A. They can swim as far as 110 metres and bring food home. B. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large area. C. They can swim a long way to a place and then back. D. They can make a smell map of their swimming area. 35. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 36. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Birds’ Sense of Light B. Fish’s Sense of Smell C. Animals’ Sense of Direction D. Animals’ Sense of Magnetic Field D David Stringer is a star in the Chinese community in New Zealand’s South Island because he plays traditional Chinese musical instrument hulusi so well. On the evening of September 23, 2023, Stringer won many cheers again. He played a piece of Chinese folk music Deep in the Bamboo Forest using hulusi at the yearly Mid-Autumn Festival Gala Concert. It was a concert held by the Chinese community in Christchurch. “Although it is easy to play hulusi at a basic level (初级水平), Deep in the Bamboo Forest needs lots of skills, which is a Grade 6 exam piece.” said Stringer. Stringer first saw hulusi ten years ago on his first trip to China in Zhangjiajie in central China’s Hunan province. While seeing his curiosity (好奇心) about hulusi, his friend gave him one and also taught him to play it. The next year, Stringer went to China again and bought another two. Now, he has a total of five hulusi of different types. “From young, I was introduced to Chinese culture. More recently, I have been learning Chinese and made many friends in the Chinese community. Like New Zealanders, I find them friendly and encouraging.” Stringer said. “Chinese cultural symbols (象征) can also be found everywhere in New Zealand, and most locals have also started celebrating traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival,which are making our own culture richer.” he added.

We usually feel angry about them. However, these little ones also teach us something. Never give up Have you noticed (注意) that when something is in front of ants, they do not sit down or become sad? They just keep going. One day, I watched a small ant taking a bug back to its nest (巢穴). A leaf in the way was a big problem, but the ant was not giving up. It tried very hard to work out a way. Finally, the ant got that bug over the leaf and into the nest. Ask for help Think about it, have you ever seen an ant move something too big by itself? That never happens. When a load (负荷) is too big, the ant signals (发信号) to the others for help. Why don’t we do more of this? Sometimes, we are just too afraid to ask someone to share the load. Sharing can make our life much easier. Think winter in summer Ants know there are seasons. They collect food and build the nest all through the summer even when they still have enough to eat. So when the cold days of winter come, the ants can stay in their warm nest and never worry about being hungry. They plan for their life! How great the ants are! 72.
