举一反三
avoiding natural enemies don"t exist . Without such problems , animals in zoos should live to an old age .
But that may not be true for the largest land animals on earth . Scientists have known that elephants in
zoos often suffer from poor health . They develop diseases and behaviour changes . Sometimes , they
even become infertile
, or unable to have babies .To learn more about how elephants are affected , a team of international scientists compared the life
spans of elephants born in zoos with those living outdoors in their native lands . Zoos keep detailed
records of all the animals , such as birth dates , illnesses , weight and death . These records made it
possible for the researchers to analyse 40 years of data on 800 African and Asian elephants in zoos
across Europe . The team found that female African elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9
years while those in the wild lived an average of 56 years . Scientists don"t yet know why wild elephants
seem to be so much better than their zoo-raised elephants . Georgia Mason , a biologist who led the
study , thinks stress and obesity may be to blame . Zoo elephants don"t get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild , and most are fat .
Another finding from the study showed that Asian elephants born in zoos were more likely to die early
than Asian elephants caught in the wild and brought to zoos . Mason suggests stress in the mothers in zoos might cause them to have babies that are less likely to survive .
B. often struggle with each other
C. live longer than those in the wild
D. will often fight with their enemies
B. Without ability to give birth .
C. Without friends to talk with .
D. Without anyone to turn to .

close for an hour at lunchtime. On one or two days a week-usually Thursday and/or Friday-some large
food shops stay open until about 8:00 pm for late night shopping.
Many shops are closed in the afternoon on one day a week. The day is usually Wednesday or
Thursday and it is a different day in different towns.
Nearly all shops are closed on Sundays. Newspaper
shops are open in the morning, and sell sweetsand cigarettes as well. But not all the things can be sold on Sundays.
Usually it is not difficult for foreign visitors to find where to buy things. Most shops sell the things that
you want to buy. One problem is stamps. In Britain you can only buy these at post offices. Many large
food shops are self-service. When you go into one of these shops, you take a basket and you put the
things you wish to buy into this. You pay for everything just before you leave. If anyone tries to take things from a shop without paying, they are almost certain to be caught, because most shops have detectives.
When you are waiting to be served in a shop, it is important not try to be served before people who
arrive before you. Many foreign people are surprised at the British way of queuing (排队).
B. five hours
C. ten hours
D. six hours
B. Many shops are closed in the afternoon once a week on Tuesday.
C. Only a few things can be bought on Sundays.
D. It is not difficult for foreign visitors to buy things in Britain.
A. cigarette
B. sweets
C. stamps
D. clothes
B. Many large shops are self-service.
C. Most shops have detectives.
D. People do not have to queue to be served.
B. How to buy things in Britain?
C. The British Way of Queuing
D. How long are the British shops?
two of the safest U.S. cities for children.
Both urban areas scored high marks in a study that assessed 50 of the largest U.S. cities on 25 safety
criteria such as proximity (接近) of hospitals, bike helmet laws and how quickly local fire departments
respond to determine the safest cities for children.
"It"s clear that most cities are doing great things to improve safety at home and in the community," said Gus Schaefer of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), an independent safety certification provider that conducted the research.
New York firefighters were the quickest to respond to emergencies, while Louisville pedestrians(行人) were among the least likely to be in a traffic accident, according to the study.
Boston parents can breathe easy knowing they live in the city with the most hospitals per capita(人
均) and Portland, Oregon got honors for its low drowning rates and air quality.
Virginia Beach scored high marks because car passengers under the age of 18 have to wear seatbelts, even if they are riding in the back seat.
Columbus, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle and Tampa were also among the safest cities.
Although the study did not rank the cities, it showed that the vast majority have anti-smoking laws and
all have smoke alarm laws.
One area where there might still be room for improvement is bike helmet laws. Only 39 of the largest
urban areas have bike helmet laws.
But 47 out of 50 cities had some non-smoking laws and an equal number required CO alarms. And all
the cities insisted on inspections after construction or remodeling projects.
In addition to local and state laws to keep their children safe, UL said families can also take measures
to improve the safety of their children, including making sure television stands are well fixed and having a
fire escape plan.
B. the most popular U.S. cities
C. the safest U.S. cities for kids
D. the various laws in the U.S. cities
B. The air quality in New York remains stable.
C. Car passengers in New York have to wear seatbelts.
D. New York firefighters react quickly in emergencies.
B. Enjoy better health.
C. Do their jobs happily.
D. Breathe without difficulty.
B. bike helmet laws
C. traffic rules
D. families" fire escape plans
B. They all required factories to fix CO alarms.
C. Their hospitals provided high-quality service.
D. They had careful examinations of newly completed buildings.
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求).
[1]You may be wondering what scientists are like. The aim of this article is to explore the characteristics that are common for scientists. You might even be considering becoming one yourself.
[2]So now let"s get to the topic. What type of person should a scientist be? Don"t lose heart if you don"t possess(拥有) all of these qualities, but having a few of them will be helpful.
[3]A scientist should be someone who enjoys research and studying. This makes up a large part of a
scientist"s work. Carrying out studies that will improve people"s everyday life is an exciting challenge.
Moreover, making the next scientific discovery is highly rewarding but it takes a lot of work and
preparation.
[4]If you come into contact with a scientist, one of the things you might notice is that they have an open mind. They are flexible and open to new possibilities and there is a very good chance that they might live
their life in this way.
[5]Perseverance(毅力) is also a quality that is required for a scientist. Experiments don"t always go to
plan. Each experiment needs to be adapted slightly to try and encourage more favourable outcomes. A
scientist cannot give up at the first difficulty.
[6] , most scientists seem to show curiosity. They seek answers to many mind-puzzling life
questions. Their job is usually to ask how, what and why things happen and to provide theories that
demonstrate this.
2. Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 2. (no more than 5 words)
It doesn"t matter that you don"t have all the qualities because having only is beneficial.
3. How do scientists do their jobs? (no more than 15 words)
4. Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 6 with proper words. (no more than 3 words)
5. What does the word "This" (Line 1, Paragraph 3) probably refers to? (no more than 5 words)
定的) things you want. There is a limitation to this type of approach though. If you find the lowest price
on the best hotel in Honolulu at the height of the season, you will save money, but still have a very
expensive vacation. Trying to get exactly what you want will generally be an expensive proposition(提议),
in travel and in life.
The other approach is to be a true opportunist. This will be difficult for some of you, and entirely
unacceptable to others. Nonetheless (尽管如此), the travelers who get to travel the most, go to the
widest variety of places, learn the most and do the most, are the opportunists. This will be true until you
are so wealthy that you have no monetary (货币的；钱的) limits.
The first time I went to Ecuador, I went there because it was cheap. If it wasn"t, I would have had a
great time-somewhere else. The trip lasted a month, and cost $1045, which included air fare and even
the $130 fee for a guide to take me to the top or glacier (冰川) covered Mount Chimborazo.
I cut the cost by taking a bus from my home in Michigan to Miami, and back again when I returned
from Ecuador. The round-trip (双程) ticket cost $158. The round-trip flight to Quito from Miami was
only $256, because it was a courier (信使, 通讯员) flight, which meant I signed for some luggage(car
parts), and could only take carry-on luggage.
Never did I feel deprived, or bored. I had a great time, eating wherever it was cheap and clean, doing
all sorts of inexpensive, but interesting things, and traveling across the country to climb Chimborazo. I also met and fell in love with my wife Ana.
Being an opportunist means you"ll have just as much variety, and probably almost everything you
want-eventually. You just have to stop trying to get exactly what you want exactly when you want it. If
the guide that took me up Chimborazo hadn"t dropped his price from $200 to $130, I would have spent $2 for a bus and gone hiki
ng on EI Altar, another great Andean mountain. That would have left me with enough money for several other minor adventures.
B. the lowest price
C. the cheapest goods
D. the best approaches
B. cut down traveling costs.
C. deal with different situations
D. become opportunist travelers
B. traveled with his wife in Ecuador
C. is an opportunist traveler
D. likes traveling around the world
B. Travel Secrets
C. A Travel Opportunist
D. Travel Tips
