An invasive species (入侵物种) of ant, called “big-headed ant”, is changing the way lions hunt and eat in Kenya, according to a new study. The ants spread because of human activities like trade and travel. They arrived in Kenya from southern Africa about 15 years ago. Since then they have been killing the local acacia ant.
Acacia ants live in and take care of the whistling thorn trees in Kenya. In a “symbiotic relationship”, acacia ants get food from the trees and use them for home. In return, they protect the trees from animals like elephants or giraffes, which might eat too much of the trees. Acacia ants do this through attacking these animals in group.
However, big-headed ants eat acacia ants and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling. What’s more, big-headed ants don’t protect whistling thorn trees either. So with fewer acacia ants to save them, the trees are in trouble.
Professor Palmer’s team found that in areas with big-headed ants, elephants destroyed more trees. This means the place is more open and zebras can easily find lions following them. So lions kill much fewer zebras in these areas than in tree-filled places.
The good news is that the lion population remains unchanged because the lions turn to hunt buffalo for food instead of zebras. This probably means that the tiny ants have caused lions to change their habits too. They have to hunt the bigger, heavier buffalo. Professor Palmer said, “We often find it’s the little things that rule the world.”
29.What’s the relationship between the whistling thorn trees and acacia ants?
A. B. C. D.
30.Elephants destroyed more trees. As a result, ________.
A.big-headed ants can eat more acacia ants B.zebras have no places to hide themselves
C.acacia ants attack elephants and giraffes easily D.lions have trouble hunting zebras with fewer trees
31.Big-headed ants have caused the number of ________ to fall.
①acacia ants ②whistling thorn trees ③zebras ④lions
A.①② B.①④ C.②③ D.②④
32.Lions ________ to deal with the changes according to the passage.
A.spend more time following zebras B.look for other larger animals for food
C.keep elephants from tree-filled places D.move elsewhere without big-headed ants
【答案】29.C 30.D 31.A 32.B
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了一种入侵物种——大头蚁在肯尼亚的情况,以及它对当地生态系统中其他生物的影响。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段“Acacia ants live in and take care of the whistling thorn trees in Kenya. In a ‘symbiotic relationship’, acacia ants get food from the trees and use them for home.”可知,金合欢蚁生活在肯尼亚,并照顾着吹口哨刺树,树为蚂蚁提供食物和住所。二者应是互利的“共生关系”。故选C。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段“So lions kill much fewer zebras in these areas than in tree-filled places.”可知,狮子捕猎斑马变得困难。故选D。
31.细节理解题。根据第三段“As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling...the trees are in trouble.”可知,大头蚁导致金合欢蚁和树木减少。故选A。
32.细节理解题。根据最后一段“lions to change their habits too. They have to hunt the bigger, heavier buffalo.”可知,狮子开始捕猎更大的动物如水牛以应对斑马减少的情况。故选B。
C
“Wanted: Violin. Can’t pay much. Call...”
Why did I notice that? I wondered, since I seldom look at such ads.
I put the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I, too, had wanted a violin, but we couldn’t afford.
When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question.
It was not a good year. The crops did not bring as much as we had hoped at harvest. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn’t wait any longer to ask, “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own?”
Daddy looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind God in our family devotions, “… and Lord, Mary wants her own violin.”
One evening we all sat at the table. Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, Mr. Finkle, a fine violinist.
When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he announced, “We’ll be driving to Columbus.”
The day finally arrived. After we got there, Mr. Finkle, a tall man, opened the door. “Come in!” He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play.
“Carl, I found it in a pawn shop for seven dollars. It’s a good violin. Mary should be able to make beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me.
I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally understood. It was mine!
When I was ready to join the school orchestra (管弦乐队), I trembled with excitement. I sat in the third row of violins and wore my white orchestra jacket like a royal robe. My heart beat wildly at my first public performance, a school operetta. I felt sure everyone in the audience was watching me. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly at their little girl. And soon I found myself in the first-violin chair.
I thought of Daddy, who did all he could to fill my desires when I was young. I wonder if I had ever thanked him.
At last I picked up the newspaper, walked to the phone and dialed the number. Later that day, a man knocked on the door. “My daughter wants a violin so badly,” he said, “How much are you asking?” Any music store, I knew, would offer me a nice price. But now I heard my voice answer, “Seven dollars.”
“Are you sure?” he asked, reminding so much of Daddy.
Later, I saw his wife and children waiting in an old car. The door suddenly opened and a young girl ran to him. She hugged the violin case against her, then dropped to her knees and snapped open the case. She touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon Sun, then turned and threw her arm around her smiling father.
33.What does the underlined phrase “out of the question” mean?
A.Doubtful. B.Impossible. C.Natural. D.Certain.
34.Which is the correct order of the following events?
①I noticed an advertisement in the newspaper.
②My father’s friend, a fine violinist gave me a violin.
③I sold a violin to a father at the price of seven dollars.
④I joined the school orchestra and took the first-violin chair soon.
⑤My family led a hard life and couldn’t afford a violin that I wanted so much.
A.①⑤②④③ B.①②⑤④③ C.⑤②④①③ D.⑤①②④③
35.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Mary passed her love to others in the way Mr. Finkle did.
B.The young man’s family had no money to pay for the violin.
C.Mary offered the violin to her friend’s daughter with pleasure.
D.Mary knew why her father took her to Columbus before going.
36.What can be the best title for the passage?
A.A violinist and a father B.A little girl and her father
C.The violin in an advertisement D.The violin in the setting Sun
【答案】33.B 34.C 35.A 36.D
【导语】本文主要讲述了Mary看到报纸上有关希望购买小提琴的广告,会想到自己如何通过七美金得到第一把小提琴的,并在最后把小提琴以七美元的价格卖给小女孩的故事。
33.词句猜测题。根据上文“When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one!”及下文but作为转折可知,她想要一个小提琴,由于家庭生活困难,这种想法是不能的,划线部分out of the question的意思是“不可能的”,故选B。
34.推理判断题。根据文中的时间线,正确的顺序应该是:首先Mary看到了广告(①),然后回忆起自己小时候家境贫困,无法拥有小提琴(⑤)。接着她的父亲的朋友给她买了小提琴(②),然后Mary参加了学校的乐队并且成为了首席小提琴(④)。最后,她以七美元的价格把小提琴卖给了别人(③)。所以正确顺序是⑤①②④③。故选C。
35.推理判断题。通读整篇短文可知,Mr. Finkle帮助她实现拉小提琴的梦想,后半部分写的是在Mary取得成功以后,帮助一个和她一样的孩子,Mary像Finkle先生那样将爱传递给他人。故选A。
36.最佳标题题。本文描述了Mary和父亲以及小提琴之间的故事,最后她以七美元将小提琴卖给了一个需要它的小女孩。故事情感充沛,讲述了她对父亲的感激和她将爱传递给他人的行为,最合适的标题是“The violin in the setting Sun”,这个标题呼应了文章的情感和小提琴在她生命中的意义。故选D。
D
When Scrooge woke up, it was very dark. The ghost that Marley told him about didn’t appear until the clock struck one. The Ghost of Christmas Past was very strange. It was the height of a child but it looked like an old man.
The Ghost asked Scrooge to walk with him. They passed through the wall and stood on a country road. When they walked along the road, Scrooge found this was the place where he grew up. Some small horses were running towards them with boys on their backs. All these boys were happy. Then they came to a school. They saw a long, empty classroom. At a desk a lonely boy was reading a book. When Scrooge saw himself, he cried.
A moment later they went in an apprentice. There Scrooge saw his old boss, Fezziwig. He asked Ebenezer, Scrooge’s former self, now a young man, and Dick, Scrooge’s workmate to get ready for the party. Soon the warehouse was cosiest, warmest, brightest ballroom. They enjoyed themselves there.
After the party, they went on travelling. Scrooge saw himself again. He was older now. He was sitting by a pretty young girl, Belle. There were tears in her eyes. She said Scrooge had changed. He gave up all his dreams and now he was only interested in making money. They couldn’t make each other happy any more. She thought Scrooge wouldn’t choose to marry a poor girl like her. So she stood up and said goodbye to him.
Although Scrooge wanted to go home, the Ghost continued making him look. He saw Belle and his beautiful girl laughing happily. Then the father came in with many Christmas toys and presents. Their happiness was indescribable. The master of the house sat happily with his daughter and her mother by the fire. Scrooge regretted so much that his eyes filled with tears.

Have you noticed how things in nature slow down in winter? Animals sleep through the winter, insects stop buzzing (发出嗡嗡声) so much and leaves have dropped from the trees. There’s a lot we can learn from the natural world by learning to take things easy.
One of the reasons that animals and plants slow down is to save energy. As humans are part of the natural world, it is good for people too. We need to rest so we can be full of energy when it’s time to be active again. Taking it easy helps us to notice more of what’s happening around us, like how a plant grows or how the clouds move in the sky. When we do things slowly, we pay attention to details we might miss if we rush.
Slowing down gives you a chance to rest in between all the activities that fill your days-whether that’s school, homework, activities or spending time with family and friends. When you relax, your blood flows more steadily and your body digests (消化) food more easily. Resting also calms the mind, which improves our attention, memory and feelings. Slowing down is like giving your body a hug from the inside. It can also help learning. AUS study found that school pupils who were given 15 minutes of quiet time to read or think at the start or the end of the day were happier. The pupils also worked harder, paid more attention in class and got better grades.
Slowing down is a great way to get more from every moment. Next time, you go for a walk, instead of rushing from point A to point B, try paying attention to your surroundings - listen out for birds or the sound of the wind, notice scenery and any smells in the air. You could also try cooking something that takes time and patience. Notice what difference it makes to how you think and feel.
In a word, we humans should follow the rhythms of nature. So, enjoy life in the slow lane (小巷) during the winter month. Resting helps to save energy.

An invasive species (入侵物种) of ant, called “big-headed ant”, is changing the way lions hunt and eat in Kenya, according to a new study. The ants spread because of human activities like trade and travel. They arrived in Kenya from southern Africa about 15 years ago. Since then they have been killing the local acacia ant.
Acacia ants live in and take care of the whistling thorn trees in Kenya. In a “symbiotic relationship”, acacia ants get food from the trees and use them for home. In return, they protect the trees from animals like elephants or giraffes, which might eat too much of the trees. Acacia ants do this through attacking these animals in group.
However, big-headed ants eat acacia ants and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling. What’s more, big-headed ants don’t protect whistling thorn trees either. So with fewer acacia ants to save them, the trees are in trouble.
Professor Palmer’s team found that in areas with big-headed ants, elephants destroyed more trees. This means the place is more open and zebras can easily find lions following them. So lions kill much fewer zebras in these areas than in tree-filled places.
The good news is that the lion population remains unchanged because the lions turn to hunt buffalo for food instead of zebras. This probably means that the tiny ants have caused lions to change their habits too. They have to hunt the bigger, heavier buffalo. Professor Palmer said, “We often find it’s the little things that rule the world.”
29.What’s the relationship between the whistling thorn trees and acacia ants?
A. B. C. D.
30.Elephants destroyed more trees. As a result, ________.
A.big-headed ants can eat more acacia ants B.zebras have no places to hide themselves
C.acacia ants attack elephants and giraffes easily D.lions have trouble hunting zebras with fewer trees
31.Big-headed ants have caused the number of ________ to fall.
①acacia ants ②whistling thorn trees ③zebras ④lions

“Wanted: Violin. Can’t pay much. Call...”
Why did I notice that? I wondered, since I seldom look at such ads.
I put the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I, too, had wanted a violin, but we couldn’t afford.
When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question.
It was not a good year. The crops did not bring as much as we had hoped at harvest. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn’t wait any longer to ask, “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own?”
Daddy looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind God in our family devotions, “… and Lord, Mary wants her own violin.”
One evening we all sat at the table. Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, Mr. Finkle, a fine violinist.
When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he announced, “We’ll be driving to Columbus.”
The day finally arrived. After we got there, Mr. Finkle, a tall man, opened the door. “Come in!” He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play.
“Carl, I found it in a pawn shop for seven dollars. It’s a good violin. Mary should be able to make beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me.
I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally understood. It was mine!
When I was ready to join the school orchestra (管弦乐队), I trembled with excitement. I sat in the third row of violins and wore my white orchestra jacket like a royal robe. My heart beat wildly at my first public performance, a school operetta. I felt sure everyone in the audience was watching me. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly at their little girl. And soon I found myself in the first-violin chair.
I thought of Daddy, who did all he could to fill my desires when I was young. I wonder if I had ever thanked him.
At last I picked up the newspaper, walked to the phone and dialed the number. Later that day, a man knocked on the door. “My daughter wants a violin so badly,” he said, “How much are you asking?” Any music store, I knew, would offer me a nice price. But now I heard my voice answer, “Seven dollars.”
“Are you sure?” he asked, reminding so much of Daddy.
Later, I saw his wife and children waiting in an old car. The door suddenly opened and a young girl ran to him. She hugged the violin case against her, then dropped to her knees and snapped open the case. She touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon Sun, then turned and threw her arm around her smiling father.
33.What does the underlined phrase “out of the question” mean?
A.Doubtful. B.Impossible. C.Natural. D.Certain.

①I noticed an advertisement in the newspaper.

③I sold a violin to a father at the price of seven dollars.

⑤My family led a hard life and couldn’t afford a violin that I wanted so much.
A.①⑤②④③ B.①②⑤④③
C.⑤②④①③ D.⑤①②④③
35.What can we infer from the passage?

At a desk a lonely boy was reading a book. When Scrooge saw himself, he cried.

After the party, they went on travelling. Scrooge saw himself again. He was older now. He was sitting by a pretty young girl, Belle. There were tears in her eyes. She said Scrooge had changed. He gave up all his dreams and now he was only interested in making money. They couldn’t make each other happy any more. She thought Scrooge wouldn’t choose to marry a poor girl like her. So she stood up and said goodbye to him.
Although Scrooge wanted to go home, the Ghost continued making him look. He saw Belle and his beautiful girl laughing happily. Then the father came in with many Christmas toys and presents.

Have you noticed how things in nature slow down in winter? Animals sleep through the winter, insects stop buzzing (发出嗡嗡声) so much and leaves have dropped from the trees. There’s a lot we can learn from the natural world by learning to take things easy.
One of the reasons that animals and plants slow down is to save energy. As humans are part of the natural world, it is good for people too. We need to rest so we can be full of energy when it’s time to be active again. Taking it easy helps us to notice more of what’s happening around us, like how a plant grows or how the clouds move in the sky. When we do things slowly, we pay attention to details we might miss if we rush.
Slowing down gives you a chance to rest in between all the activities that fill your days-whether that’s school, homework, activities or spending time with family and friends. When you relax, your blood flows more steadily and your body digests (消化) food more easily. Resting also calms the mind, which improves our attention, memory and feelings. Slowing down is like giving your body a hug from the inside. It can also help learning. AUS study found that school pupils who were given 15 minutes of quiet time to read or think at the start or the end of the day were happier. The pupils also worked harder, paid more attention in class and got better grades.
Slowing down is a great way to get more from every moment. Next time, you go for a walk, instead of rushing from point A to point B, try paying attention to your surroundings - listen out for birds or the sound of the wind, notice scenery and any smells in the air. You could also try cooking something that takes time and patience. Notice what difference it makes to how you think and feel.
In a word, we humans should follow the rhythms of nature. So, enjoy life in the slow lane (小巷) during the winter month. Resting helps to save energy.
