To see how ants avoid congestion, scientists studied them as they moved across a bridge to gather food and return it to the nest.To control ant density (密度), the scientists varied the width of the bridge among 5 millimeters, 10 millimeters and 20 millimeters and the number of ants from 400 to 25，600. Co­author Sebastien Motsch, an associate professor in Arizona State University's School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, specializing in studying how individuals interact and self­organize without a central authority to direct them, said the ants changed their speed and behavior to avoid congestion when getting into the densest traffic.“Surprisingly, it appeared that no traffic jam occurred.They always managed to keep flowing somehow.” Unlike human drivers jockeying for position on the road, ant “commuters” cooperate to accomplish a mutually beneficial goal, so optimizing their ability to forage (觅食) while avoiding congestion is more a survival skill than convenience or altruism. Understanding how ants manage to keep on trucking through the worst jams could have widespread applications beyond traffic engineering, such as in fields involving dense flows of agents, particles or packets of information. Ants in general appear to share beneficial reinforcement mechanisms that help them adapt to situations involving masses of bodies.Carpenter ants spread out to avoid trampling each other when trying to escape through a narrow door.Fire ants know how to stay out of each other's way during construction projects.Garden ants excel at avoiding bottlenecks. Motsch and his colleagues next hope to discover the mechanisms behind the ants' self­regulation.But doing so could require tracking each ant's behavior individually.“This kind of tracking is possible，”Motsch said，“but in an environment where it's so crowded, it's really challenging.” 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家如何研究蚂蚁在密集交通中的流动机制，并探讨其对人类交通工程及其他领域的启示。 1．How did scientists study ants' traffic behavior? A．By referring to the computer modeling in the lab. B．By observing how ants communicate with each other. C．By comparing the behavior of different species of ants. D．By varying the number of ants and the width of a bridge. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“To see how ants avoid congestion...the number of ants from 400 to 25，600.”可知，科学家通过改变桥的宽度以及蚂蚁的数量来研究蚂蚁的交通行为，故选D。 √ 2．What does the underlined word“jockeying”in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Waiting. B．Fighting. C．Searching. D．Applying. 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文的内容“ant‘commuters’cooperate to accomplish a mutually beneficial goal, so optimizing their ability to forage (觅食) while avoiding congestion is more a survival skill than convenience or altruism.”可知，后文提到蚂蚁“通勤者”合作完成一个互利的目标，此处将人类司机做的事情与蚂蚁的行为进行对比，故此处画线词“jockeying”在这里的意思应该是“争夺、竞争”，与B项“Fighting(斗争，争夺)”意思相近，人类司机在道路上抢夺位置，为位置而斗争，故选B。 √ 3．What does paragraph 5 mainly show? A．Ants' behavior in natural habitats. B．The impact of traffic jams on wildlife. C．Applications of ants' traffic management. D．Differences between ants and human traffic. 段落大意题。本段主要讲述了理解蚂蚁如何在最拥堵的情况下保持通行在其他涉及密集流动的领域也有广泛的应用，因此本段介绍了蚂蚁的交通管理在其他领域的运用，故选C。 √ B Once widely distributed worldwide, the peregrine falcons(游隼) experienced a decline in their numbers after World War Ⅱ due to substances used to kill harmful insects, which weakened the birds' eggshells(蛋壳).They were placed on the endangered species list in 1970.In Yosemite National Park, the last known pair were seen in 1941. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA)banned most of the use of chemicals in 1974.In 1978，four climbers discovered an active peregrine falcon nest on Yosemite's EI Capitan, marking their return to the area after decades.They reported their find to conservationists, who came up with an ambitious plan, enlisting climbers' help to collect eggshell samples for testing. The eggs were delicate, so researchers decided to hatch them in a laboratory, and then return the chicks to the nest.Rock climbers helped with this, too, which led to the chagrin of the protective peregrine falcon parents：As the climbers carefully removed eggs or replaced chicks, the falcons dive­bombed them—one bird even attacked a climber and struck his backpack. For decades, climbers and the park service have teamed up to help protect the bird.The park temporarily closes the climbing routes during egg­laying seasons.Buffer zones are created to prevent helicopters(直 升 机)from getting too close. Peregrine falcons were removed from the endangered species list in 1999.As many as 40，000 peregrine falcons may now be flying freely in North America, and their numbers are on the rise.“Peregrines are at the top of the food chain，”says Frank Dean, president of Yosemite Conservancy.“So to help them bounce back is a sign of the health of the entire Yosemite ecosystem.” Rock climbers and peregrine falcons could easily be in conflict, since rock climbing can disturb nesting falcons and is listed as a potential threat to the species.But instead, they have formed an unlikely partnership without which peregrine falcons might still be struggling to gain a foothold in Yosemite.The birds' recovery is a rare success story of humans prioritizing the needs of other species rather than their own. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了游隼的数量曾经在第二次世界大战后开始下降，于1970年被列入濒危物种名单。后来人们采取保护措施，让游隼的数量得到了恢复。 4．What led to the decline of peregrine falcons? A．Climbing business. B．Chemical use. C．Commercial hunting. D．Climate change. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the peregrine falcons(游隼) experienced a decline in their numbers after World War Ⅱ due to substances used to kill harmful insects, which weakened the birds' eggshells (蛋壳)”可知，游隼数量在二战后下降的原因是使用杀死有害昆虫的物质削弱了这种鸟的蛋壳。由此推断，化学物质的使用导致了游隼数量的减少。故选B。 √ 5．What does the underlined word “chagrin” mean in paragraph 3? A．Displeasure. B．Disappointment. C．Delight. D．Relief. 词义猜测题。画线词所在的部分意为“攀岩者也帮忙做了此事，但这引起了具有护雏意识的游隼父母的chagrin”。再根据冒号后的内容可知，当攀岩者小心翼翼地取出鸟蛋或放回幼鸟时，游隼向他们俯冲袭来——有一只游隼甚至攻击了一名攀岩者，还撞击了他的背包。由此可知，攀岩者帮助游隼这一行为让游隼父母恼怒。故画线词意思与A项“不悦，生气”相近。故选A。 √ 6．Which can best describe the recovery work? A．Tiring and inadequate. B．Demanding and fruitless. C．Risky but productive. D．Conventional but incredible. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“the falcons dive­bombed them—one bird even attacked a climber and struck his backpack”可知，攀岩者在参与保护游隼的行动时会受到游隼父母的攻击，故恢复工作是有风险的。再根据倒数第二段中的“Peregrine falcons were removed from the endangered species list in 1999.As many as 40，000 peregrine falcons may now be flying freely in North America, and their numbers are on the rise.”可知，恢复工作富有成效。因此，恢复工作有风险但有成效。故选C。 √ 7．What message does the text convey? A．Humans' prioritizing wildlife's needs is rare. B．People's behavior disturbs natural balance. C．Unique teamwork adds richness to the ecosystem. D．Extinct birds' comeback is the evolution of nature. 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知，攀岩者和游隼之间形成了一种看似不太可能的合作关系，如果没有这种合作关系，游隼可能仍挣扎着在约塞米蒂国家公园立足； 游隼数量的恢复是一个罕见的人类将其他物种的需求置于自身需求之上的成功案例。因此可推知，攀岩者和游隼形成的独特合作使游隼数量回升。C项“独特的团队合作增 加了生态系统的丰富性”能准确概括文章传达的信息。故选C。 √ Ⅱ.完形填空(本题共15个小题，每小题1分，共15分) I liked to go and watch the sunset at my local park, which was a seaside area in Karachi.There, I would always see the same elderly lady 1 the pigeons(鸽子).The birds, usually around 10 to 15 in 2 would gather around her before she even had a 3 to take the bag of rice out from her handbag.It was the same each day, part of her 4 ． I found that 5 her perform this ordinary task with such 6 was both calming and beautiful.
