One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brothe
11、r might be on the train he saw in front of him - so he got on. That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage(孤儿院）。 There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania. As he writes in his new book,
12、 A Long Way Home, Brierley couldnt help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didnt know his towns name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible. Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his home
13、town in the programs satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a towns central business district from a birds-eye view. He thought,“On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station -and there it was. And on the
14、left-hand side you should see a big fountain- and there it was. Everything just started to match. When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child , he saw a lady standing in the entrance. “Theres something about me, he thought -and it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered
15、what she used to look like. In an interview Brierley says, My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear fusion(核聚变）。 I just didnt know what to s
16、ay, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.” 21. Why was Brierley separated from his family about 25 years ago? A. He got on a train by mistake. B. He got lost while playing in the street. C. He was taken away by a foreigner. D. He was
17、adopted by an Australian family. 22. How did Brierley find his hometown? A. By analyzing old pictures. B. By travelling all around India. C. By studying digital maps. D. By spreading his story via his book. 23. What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview? A. His love for his mother. B. His
18、 reunion with his mother. C. His long way back home. D. His memory of his hometown. B At the start of the 20th century, an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made predictions about life today. His predictions about slowing population growth, mobile phones and increasing height were close t
19、o the mark. But he was wrong in one prediction：that everybody would walk 10 miles a day. Today, in Australia, most children on average fall 2,000 steps short of the physical activity they need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s, 40 per cent of children walked to school, while in 2010, it
20、was as low as 15 per cent. The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed for time, many with both parents working to pay for their house, often working hours not of their choosing,living in car-dependent neighborhoods with limited public transport. The other side of the co
21、in is equally a deprivation: for health and well-being, as well as lost opportunities(机会）for children to get to know their local surroundings. And for parents there are lost opportunities to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day. Most parents will have eagerly asked their child abou
22、t their day, only to meet with a good”， quickly followed by Im hungry. This is also my experience as a mother. But somewhere over the daily walk more about my sons day comes out. I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits. This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.
23、Many primary schools support walking school-bus routes(路线），with days of regular, parent-accompanied walks. Doing just one of these a few times a week is better than nothing. It can be tough to begin and takes a little planning - running shoes by the front door, lunches made the night before, umbrell
24、as on rainy days and hats on hot ones-but its certainly worth trying. 24. Why does the author mention Watkins predictions in the first paragraph? A. To make comparisons. B. To introduce the topic. C. To support her argument. D. To provide examples. 25.What has caused the decrease in Australian child
25、rens physical activity? A. Plain laziness. B. Health problems. C. Lack of time. D. Security concerns. 26. Why does the author find walking with her son worthwhile? A. She can get relaxed after work. B. She can keep physically fit. C. She can help with her sons study. D. She can know her son better.
26、C Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees(黑猩猩） use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a vocabulary of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and
27、 examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges. Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately
28、 sent a message to another group member. Thats whats so amazing about chimp gestures, she said. Theyre the only thing that looks like human language in that respect. ” Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animals call, the animals
29、 do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures,Dr Hobaiter said. Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to h
30、er crying baby, signalling:Climb on me. The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together.The big message from this study is that there is another species(物种） out there that is meaningful in its communication, so thats not unique to humans, said Dr Hobaiter. Dr Susa
31、nne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing. The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chi
32、mps have little to communicate,or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions, she said. Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains. 27. What do chimps and humans have i
33、n common according to Dr Hobaiter? A. Memorizing specific words. B. Understanding complex information. C. Using voices to communicate. D. Communicating messages on purpose. 28. What did Dr Shultz think of the study? A. It was well designed but poorly conducted. B. It was a good try but the findings
34、were limited. C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable. D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise. 29. What does the underlined word gulf in the last paragraph mean? A. Difference. B. Conflict. C. Balance. D. Connection. 30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
35、 A. Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthrough B.Chimpanzees developed specific communication skills C. Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdom D.Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处 的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 You
36、 run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need. head to the front, and choose the line that looks fastest. You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. 31 It turns out, its just math wor
37、king against you; chances are, the other line really is faster. Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. 32 Any small interruption - a price check, a chatty customer - can have downstream effects,holding up an entire line. If ther
38、e are three lines in the store,delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability: 33 So its not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster. Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line - called
39、a serpentine line - and serve each person at the front with the next available register. 34 This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register wont unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a
40、 little bit but speed up checkout overall. 35 It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores cant afford the space or manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck. A. Why does this always seem to happen to you? B. So why dont most places encourage serpentine lines
41、? C. Some of them may have stood in a queue for almost an hour. D. The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three. E. How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line? F. With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach. G. But some
