B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍浆果农场秋收节的举办时段、园区活动以及两场万圣节特色项目的日期与票价信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Conquer Our Vegetable Park部分中的“Explore our pumpkin field to find perfect pumpkins. In various shapes and sizes, you’ll find the ideal pumpkin for carving, decorating, or baking your favorite fall treats. Pumpkin painting will also be available.(快来南瓜田挑选心仪的南瓜吧！这里的南瓜形态各异、大小不一，不管是用来雕刻造型、居家装饰，还是烤制秋日特色美食，总能找到合适的那一款。现场还可以体验南瓜彩绘。)”可知，游客可以利用南瓜制作各类物件。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Harvest Festival Special Events部分中的“Separate tickets are required — $30 per person per experience, but on 26th only, for just $12 more, you can unlock both of our thrilling Halloween events in one night.(需单独购票，每项体验每人 30 美元；但仅限 26 日当天，只需额外再加 12 美元，便可在一晚畅玩两场惊险刺激的万圣节活动。)”可知，在10月27日这天,一个人参加万圣节的两个活动需要各支付$30，由此可知，在这天，一对夫妇参加两个活动需支付$30×2×2=$120。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是首段中的“Welcome to the Harvest Festival at The Berry Farm. From September through November, join us for a family-friendly event packed with autumn activities.(欢迎来到浆果农场丰收节！活动从 9 月持续至 11 月，这里有各式各样充满秋意的休闲项目，全家老小都能尽兴游玩。)”可知，文章详细介绍活动内容与收费，目的是为丰收节做宣传。 B To write about food, we can be reporting on deforestation for palm oil production, the animal welfare conditions in industrial meat-processing, etc. But for readers, it will all come back to the grocery store, the kitchen, and the menu they’re faced with at a restaurant. How do we navigate this field which includes loss of biodiversity, greedy businessmen, climate change — without overwhelming but instead empowering and encouraging readers? As an essayist, a cultural critic and food writer, at the end of the day, I am trying to attract my readers to consider what they eat. It requires that I involve and insert myself into this human dilemma. After all, I have to eat too. I once wrote that in order to trust someone on the subject of food, I need to know about their eating history and appetites. This isn’t because I want to measure my own appetite against theirs to ensure we line up, but because it provides significant context: What purpose does food serve in your life? I want to know, so that I can understand why you’re choosing to take it as a focus, whether in a writing career or just one essay. I grew up on Long Island, spent years in Brooklyn, and now live in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My upbringing consisted of all the Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Greek food one might imagine a kid just outside New York City would eat, plus Puerto Rican food influenced by my paternal grandmother’s heritage. My eating biography includes a lot of experiences — as eater, as server, as cook — and a commitment to what tastes good. All of these are useful knowledge for my perspective, and it’s why there is a touch of memoir threaded throughout what is seemingly a cultural history: If I could grow up eating everything, how did I end up with all these ethical concerns and commitments around the food system? I take the ordinary, the everyday and the ancestral (祖先的) with me when I write about how we have eaten for the past 50 years, and how we could eat in the future. How do I eat and what do I cook when I feel the weight of all these on my shoulders? 4. What does the author’s writing mainly focus on? A. The influence of human diet. B. The nutritional value of food. C. The economic impact of food production. D. The effectiveness of the actions of the local government. 5. Why does the author need to know her readers’ appetites? A. To make comparisons. B. To list examples. C. To understand their background. D. To better know herself. 6. What is the author mainly discussing in paragraph 4? A. Her multicultural identity. B. Her rich experiences with food. C. Her fascination with special foods. D. Her understanding of foreign foods. 7. What does the author convey about the future diet? A. It will empower humans. B. It will be influenced by the past. C. It will become less diverse. D. It will be mainly based on personal preference. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者作为一名散文家、文化评论家和食品作家，在探讨食品相关话题时的个人视角和写作方法。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This isn’t because I want to measure my own appetite against theirs to ensure we line up, but because it provides significant context: What purpose does food serve in your life? I want to know, so that I can understand why you’re choosing to take it as a focus, whether in a writing career or just one essay. (这并不是因为我想把自己的胃口与他们的胃口进行对比，以确保我们的胃口一致，而是因为它提供了一个重要的背景：食物在你的生活中起到了什么作用？我想知道，这样我就能理解你为什么选择把它作为一个重点，无论是在写作生涯还是只是一篇文章。)”可知，作者的写作主要关注人类饮食的影响。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This isn’t because I want to measure my own appetite against theirs to ensure we line up, but because it provides significant context: What purpose does food serve in your life? (这并不是因为我想把自己的胃口与他们的胃口进行对比，以确保我们的胃口一致，而是因为它提供了一个重要的背景：食物在你的生活中起到了什么作用？)”可知，作者需要知道读者的胃口是为了了解他们的背景。故选C。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“I grew up on Long Island, spent years in Brooklyn, and now live in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My upbringing consisted of all the Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Greek food one might imagine a kid just outside New York City would eat, plus Puerto Rican food influenced by my paternal grandmother’s heritage. (我在长岛长大，在布鲁克林生活了几年，现在住在波多黎各的圣胡安。我的成长经历包括意大利、中国、日本和希腊的所有食物，你可以想象一个住在纽约郊外的孩子会吃到的食物，再加上受我祖母遗产影响的波多黎各食物。)”可知，作者在第4段主要讨论了她丰富的食物经验。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I take the ordinary, the everyday and the ancestral (祖先的) with me when I write about how we have eaten for the past 50 years, and how we could eat in the future. (在撰写关于过去50年我们如何饮食，以及未来我们可能如何饮食的文章时，我会将平凡的日常以及祖先的（饮食传统）融入其中。)”可知，未来的饮食会受到过去的影响。故选B。 C Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. This may be a tough task. To study the problem, the team from Ohio State, Stanford University, and Johns Hopkins University surveyed 1,261 Americans online. All of the participants read an article about a fictional school that did not have adequate water. Group one read an article that only gave reasons why the school should merge (合并) with another that has better water. Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group three was the control group that read all of the arguments for the schools merging and staying separate. They found that the majority of the two groups who only read the pro-merging or anti-merging arguments still believed that they had enough information to make a good decision about what to do. Most said that they would follow the recommendations in the article they read. About 55 percent of the control group recommended the school merge. The participants who had half of the information also said that they thought most other people would make the same decision they did. The team calls this belief that we are correct — even when we don’t have all of the information — the illusion of information adequacy. Fletcher, the leading author describes the illusion of information adequacy as, “The less that our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know. This makes us prone to think that we have all the crucial facts about a decision, leaping to confident conclusions and decisive judgments, when we are missing necessary information.” The team found that some of those participants were willing to change their minds about their decision — once they had all the facts. The mix of opinions after hearing both sides was comparable to the control group — about 55 percent to 45 percent. According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something that I’m missing that would help me see their perspective and understand their position better?” 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By introducing a similar theory. B. By mentioning a previous study. C. By describing daily experiences. D. By explaining a term professionally. 9. What can be inferred from the study? A. Mistakes mainly rises from inadequate information. B. The participants were confident of their decision. C. Personal subjective understanding tends to be ignored in groups. D. The participants drew different conclusions even if with enough information. 10. What does the text suggest to avoid misunderstanding or conflicts? A. Changing the topics of the conversation. B. Getting more related information. C. Pretending to know all the information. D. Ignoring the arguments of the other person. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. What plays a big role in decisive judgments B. Where the confidence in judgments comes from C. Why people insist they’re correct without all the facts D. How people fight the illusion of information adequacy 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍一项相关研究，阐释信息充足错觉的含义、实验结论以及规避该认知误区的可行办法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. This may be a tough task.(在网上和陌生人争执，或是在餐桌上与家人拌嘴，感觉多少如同对着一堵砖墙争辩。这着实是件难事。)”可知，作者借助日常争辩的生活经历引出文章探讨的话题。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“They found that the majority of the two groups who only read the pro-merging or anti-merging arguments still believed that they had enough information to make a good decision about what to do.(研究人员发现，两组实验对象中，绝大多数人只阅读了支持合并或反对合并其中一方的观点，却依旧自认掌握了充足信息，足以做出妥善的决策。)”可知，受试者即便信息不全，也对自身的决定充满信心。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something that I'm missing that would help me see their perspective and understand their position better?”(弗莱彻认为，当与他人产生分歧时，破除 “自己掌握的信息已经足够充分” 这种错误认知的绝佳办法之一，就是停下来反问自己：“有没有什么被我忽略的信息，能帮我换位思考、更透彻地理解对方的立场？”)”可知，想要避免矛盾就要获取更多相关信息。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中的“The less that our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know. This makes us prone to think that we have all the crucial facts about a decision, leaping to confident conclusions and decisive judgments, when we are missing necessary information.(大脑掌握的知识越少，就越笃定自己已然通晓所需的全部内容。这就容易让我们误以为手握做决定的所有关键信息，在信息残缺不全时，仍贸然得出笃定的结论与决断。)”可知，文章围绕人们在信息不全时仍坚持自身正确的心理现象展开研究分析，所以“Why people insist they’re correct without all the facts(为何人们在并未掌握全部事实的情况下，仍笃定自己是正确的)”能够精准概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 D The natural world teems with animals that move in groups, from flocks of birds to packs of wolves to schools of fish. But ants, like humans, are special: animals that routinely travel in congested (拥挤的), two-way traffic. When ants find food sources, many species will lay down a chemical trail for other ants from their colony to follow. These trails can fill up quickly and involve hundreds of ants per minute. 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. Co-author Sebastien Motsch, an associate professor in Arizona State University’s School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, specializing in studying how individuals interact and self-organize 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’ self-regulation. 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.” 12. 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. 13. What does the underlined word “jockeying” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Waiting. B. Fighting. C. Searching. D. Applying. 14. 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. 15. What is a key factor in ants’ avoiding traffic jams? A. Their tiny size. B. Their competitive nature. C. Their reliance on a central authority. D. Their cooperation to achieve a common goal. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。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。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“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.(为了了解蚂蚁如何避免拥堵，科学家们研究了它们在穿过一座桥去收集食物并返回巢穴时的行为。为了控制蚂蚁的密度，科学家们改变了桥的宽度，分别设置为5毫米、10毫米和20毫米，同时调整了蚂蚁的数量，从400只到25,600只不等)”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。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文的内容“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.(蚂蚁“通勤者”通过合作来实现一个对双方都有益的目标，因此优化觅食能力并避免拥堵更多是一种生存技能，而非仅仅为了方便或利他)”可知，后文提到蚂蚁“通勤者”合作完成一个互利的目标，此处将人类司机在道路上为位置而做的事情与蚂蚁的行为进行对比，故此处划线词“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。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“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.(了解蚂蚁如何在最糟糕的拥堵中保持通行，除了交通工程领域外，还可能有广泛的应用，比如在涉及密集流动的代理、粒子或信息包的领域)”可知，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。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“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.(与人类司机在路上争夺位置不同，蚂蚁“通勤者”通过合作来实现一个对双方都有益的目标，因此优化觅食能力并避免拥堵更多是一种生存技能，而非仅仅为了方便或利他)”可推知，蚂蚁避免交通堵塞的关键因素是它们通过合作来实现一个对双方都有益的目标，故选D。 第二节　(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分) Being in the sun is hard work — or so your brain and body seem to think.

The second most popular activity, attracting 80% of boys and 60% of girls, is playing electronic or computer games. While girls rates activities such as art and craft highly—just under 60% responded that they enjoy these—only 35% of boys choose creative pastimes. Bike riding, on the other hand, is almost as popular as electronic or computer games among boys and surprisingly, almost 60% of girls said that they enjoy it, too. Skateboarding is relatively less popular among both boys and girls, although it still attracts 38% of boys and 25% of girls.

I was always the last to be picked for teams, and I never won a race. I thought being slow and weak made me a failure. But one day, my P. E. teacher, Mr Harris, said something that changed my mind. He had been watching me struggle during a running drill, and after the class, he came over to talk to me. “You may not be the fastest,” he said, “but you have something even more important. You don’t give up.” I didn’t really understand what he meant at the time. How could not quitting be better than winning? In my mind, if you weren’t first, then you lost. But Mr Harris kept encouraging me. He told me that winning wasn’t everything and that sometimes trying hard and not giving up was even more valuable. At first, I didn’t believe him, but then he suggested I start practicing a little every day after school. “Don’t focus on becoming the fastest,” he said. “Just focus on improving, even if it’s a little bit each day.” I decided to give it a try, although I wasn’t sure it would make a difference. I began running around the track after school, one lap, then two, slowly increasing my endurance. Over the next few weeks, I noticed small changes. I could run longer without getting tired, and I was improving, even if I wasn’t winning yet. As the school’s annual race day approached, I wondered if I should sign up. I still wasn’t fast enough to win, but Mr Harris encouraged me once more. “The race isn’t about being first,” he reminded me. “It’s about showing what you can do when you don’t give up. That’s real success.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A few days later, I signed up for the race. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the race, I went to see Mr Harris. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A few days later, I signed up for the race. On the race day, I stood nervously at the starting line, surrounded by faster runners. As expected, when the race started, the others sped ahead of me. About halfway through the course, one of the fastest runners tripped and fell. Without thinking, I stopped running and helped him get back on his feet. “Keep going, don’t worry about me,” he said, but I stayed with him. We crossed the finish line together, much slower than everyone else, but we finished side by side. After the race, I went to see Mr Harris. He smiled when he saw me and said, “What you did today was more important than winning.” At first, I didn’t understand. I didn’t win the race, after all. But he explained, “You helped someone, and that’s something far greater than crossing the finish line first.” At that moment, I realized he was right. The race wasn’t just about speed; it was about determination and compassion. That day, I learned that real success comes from the heart, not from a gold medal. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在小学时不擅长运动，常因速度慢和身体弱而觉得自己是失败者，但体育老师哈里斯先生通过鼓励和引导改变了作者的看法。哈里斯先生告诉作者坚持和不放弃比获胜更重要，并建议作者每天练习。作者开始每天放学后跑步，逐渐提高了耐力。在学校的年度赛跑日，尽管作者仍不够快，但在老师的鼓励下，作者明白了比赛的意义不在于拿第一，而在于展现坚持不放弃的精神，这才是真正的成功。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几天后，我报名参加了比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者报名参加比赛后的经历。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛结束后，我去看哈里斯先生。”可知，第二段可描写作者在比赛后与哈里斯先生的交流，以及从这次交流中获得的深刻领悟。 2.续写线索：比赛开始——其他人超过作者——有人摔倒——帮助他站起来——冲过终点线——哈里斯先生微笑——哈里斯先生解释——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①加速：speed/accelerate ②绊倒：trip/stumble ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①紧张：nervously/tensely ②同情：compassion/sympathy 【点睛】[高分句型1] As expected, when the race started, the others sped ahead of me.

B To write about food, we can be reporting on deforestation for palm oil production, the animal welfare conditions in industrial meat-processing, etc. But for readers, it will all come back to the grocery store, the kitchen, and the menu they’re faced with at a restaurant. How do we navigate this field which includes loss of biodiversity, greedy businessmen, climate change — without overwhelming but instead empowering and encouraging readers? As an essayist, a cultural critic and food writer, at the end of the day, I am trying to attract my readers to consider what they eat. It requires that I involve and insert myself into this human dilemma. After all, I have to eat too. I once wrote that in order to trust someone on the subject of food, I need to know about their eating history and appetites. This isn’t because I want to measure my own appetite against theirs to ensure we line up, but because it provides significant context: What purpose does food serve in your life? I want to know, so that I can understand why you’re choosing to take it as a focus, whether in a writing career or just one essay. I grew up on Long Island, spent years in Brooklyn, and now live in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My upbringing consisted of all the Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Greek food one might imagine a kid just outside New York City would eat, plus Puerto Rican food influenced by my paternal grandmother’s heritage. My eating biography includes a lot of experiences — as eater, as server, as cook — and a commitment to what tastes good. All of these are useful knowledge for my perspective, and it’s why there is a touch of memoir threaded throughout what is seemingly a cultural history: If I could grow up eating everything, how did I end up with all these ethical concerns and commitments around the food system? I take the ordinary, the everyday and the ancestral (祖先的) with me when I write about how we have eaten for the past 50 years, and how we could eat in the future. How do I eat and what do I cook when I feel the weight of all these on my shoulders? 4. What does the author’s writing mainly focus on? A. The influence of human diet. B. The nutritional value of food. C. The economic impact of food production. D. The effectiveness of the actions of the local government. 5. Why does the author need to know her readers’ appetites? A. To make comparisons. B. To list examples. C. To understand their background. D. To better know herself. 6. What is the author mainly discussing in paragraph 4? A. Her multicultural identity. B. Her rich experiences with food. C. Her fascination with special foods. D. Her understanding of foreign foods. 7. What does the author convey about the future diet? A. It will empower humans. B. It will be influenced by the past. C. It will become less diverse. D. It will be mainly based on personal preference. C Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. This may be a tough task. To study the problem, the team from Ohio State, Stanford University, and Johns Hopkins University surveyed 1,261 Americans online. All of the participants read an article about a fictional school that did not have adequate water. Group one read an article that only gave reasons why the school should merge (合并) with another that has better water. Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group three was the control group that read all of the arguments for the schools merging and staying separate. They found that the majority of the two groups who only read the pro-merging or anti-merging arguments still believed that they had enough information to make a good decision about what to do. Most said that they would follow the recommendations in the article they read. About 55 percent of the control group recommended the school merge. The participants who had half of the information also said that they thought most other people would make the same decision they did. The team calls this belief that we are correct — even when we don’t have all of the information — the illusion of information adequacy. Fletcher, the leading author describes the illusion of information adequacy as, “The less that our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know. This makes us prone to think that we have all the crucial facts about a decision, leaping to confident conclusions and decisive judgments, when we are missing necessary information.” The team found that some of those participants were willing to change their minds about their decision — once they had all the facts. The mix of opinions after hearing both sides was comparable to the control group — about 55 percent to 45 percent. According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something that I’m missing that would help me see their perspective and understand their position better?” 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By introducing a similar theory. B. By mentioning a previous study. C. By describing daily experiences. D. By explaining a term professionally. 9. What can be inferred from the study? A. Mistakes mainly rises from inadequate information. B. The participants were confident of their decision. C. Personal subjective understanding tends to be ignored in groups. D. The participants drew different conclusions even if with enough information. 10. What does the text suggest to avoid misunderstanding or conflicts? A. Changing the topics of the conversation. B. Getting more related information. C. Pretending to know all the information. D. Ignoring the arguments of the other person. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. What plays a big role in decisive judgments B. Where the confidence in judgments comes from C. Why people insist they’re correct without all the facts D. How people fight the illusion of information adequacy D The natural world teems with animals that move in groups, from flocks of birds to packs of wolves to schools of fish. But ants, like humans, are special: animals that routinely travel in congested (拥挤的), two-way traffic. When ants find food sources, many species will lay down a chemical trail for other ants from their colony to follow. These trails can fill up quickly and involve hundreds of ants per minute. 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. Co-author Sebastien Motsch, an associate professor in Arizona State University’s School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, specializing in studying how individuals interact and self-organize 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’ self-regulation.

I was always the last to be picked for teams, and I never won a race. I thought being slow and weak made me a failure. But one day, my P. E. teacher, Mr Harris, said something that changed my mind. He had been watching me struggle during a running drill, and after the class, he came over to talk to me. “You may not be the fastest,” he said, “but you have something even more important. You don’t give up.” I didn’t really understand what he meant at the time. How could not quitting be better than winning? In my mind, if you weren’t first, then you lost. But Mr Harris kept encouraging me. He told me that winning wasn’t everything and that sometimes trying hard and not giving up was even more valuable. At first, I didn’t believe him, but then he suggested I start practicing a little every day after school. “Don’t focus on becoming the fastest,” he said. “Just focus on improving, even if it’s a little bit each day.” I decided to give it a try, although I wasn’t sure it would make a difference. I began running around the track after school, one lap, then two, slowly increasing my endurance. Over the next few weeks, I noticed small changes. I could run longer without getting tired, and I was improving, even if I wasn’t winning yet. As the school’s annual race day approached, I wondered if I should sign up. I still wasn’t fast enough to win, but Mr Harris encouraged me once more. “The race isn’t about being first,” he reminded me. “It’s about showing what you can do when you don’t give up. That’s real success.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A few days later, I signed up for the race. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the race, I went to see Mr Harris. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
