This bird bears a pure white appearance (only the male), with a r
2、ounded head, and black bill. While the male is actually a pure white individual, the female and young ones have a darker appearance with dusky spots. The female owl never attains complete whiteness in her lifetime. As young owls get older, they get whiter, losing their heavy stripes (条 纹) and dark s
3、pots. This bird is between 18 to 20 inches long. Its wingspan is 49 to 59 inches. It weighs between 3.5 to 6.5 pounds. The snowy owl lives in the regions of Greenland, Iceland, Canada, and the northern parts of USA. Carolus Linnaeus was the first person to classify this bird. Apart from being the he
4、aviest owl in North America, it is also the official bird of Quebec. It is known by other names such as “the Arctic Owl” or “the Great White Owl”. The reason for this birds adaptation to the cold temperatures of the Arctic Circle is its splendidly beautiful, white, and thick feathers. These feathers
5、 help it to survive the extreme cold and develop a perfect camouflage (伪装) in the “white” of its Arctic habitat. The snowy owl is a very patient hunter, and it can sit in one place for hours. Gifted with great hearing and keen eyesight, it is known to be an efficient and clever hunter. It is not dif
6、ficult for it to track_down its prey, which might be barely visible under thick plants or snow cover. Before soaring off in pursuit, the bird waits patiently and identifies its potential prey. Once the prey comes within the proper range, it lays its attack with its sharp- hooked claws. It hunts both
7、 during the day and at night. 1What can we conclude about the snowy owl from the first paragraph? AIt is a bird with pure white feathers. BIt is a bird which is big and heavy. CIt has a white appearance with black spots. DThe female owl is whiter than the male one. 2Why can the snowy owl adapt to th
8、e cold climate of the Arctic Circle? AThanks to its living areas. BBecause of its special feathers. CAs a result of its clever mind. DOwing to its strong wings. 3What does the underlined expression “track down” mean? AChase. BFind. CAttract. DRecognize. 4What does the passage mainly talk about? AThe
9、 snowy owl is the heaviest bird in the world. BThe difference between the Arctic owl and the snowy owl. CThe brief introduction of the snowy owl. DThe snowy owl is first classified by Carolus Linnaeus. B A mother goat is able to pick out her own baby from its voice alone by the time the kid is just
10、five days old. Researchers from University of London played kids bleats to female goats and studied their responses. They were surprised to find that the animals were able to pick out their own kids voices. “A mother and the kid rely a lot on smell to recognize one another and, in the wild, during t
11、he first week of their lives, the animals hide in grass and dont call much. Its a strategy they use to avoid enemies，” Dr Elodie Briefer, who led the research, explained to BBC News. “The mother call to the kids when she want them to come and feed, so we expected that kids would recognize the mother
12、s voices.” In fact, this was the case for deer, which also use this hiding strategy, although they do not belong to the same family of species as goats. She and her team recorded and played back young kids calls to the female goats and recorded their responses. She explained, “Even when the calls ca
13、me from kids that are five to six days old, we could see the mothers responding more to the voices of their own babies.” Hearing the voice of their own kids, the females would look towards the speaker that the sound was coming from, moving around and calling in response. The scientists say that unde
14、rstanding how goats behave and communicate is very important. “This helps us understand just how smart these animals are，” said Dr Briefer. “Farmers might be able to change their way to raise goats considering this natural behaviour.” 5In the experiment, what does a mother goat do when hearing her k
15、ids voice? AMaking voice in response. BJumping over and over. CHiding herself somewhere. DBehaving just as usual. 6The passage is mainly written for to read. Ateachers Bwriters Cfarmers Dlawyers 7What does the underlined word “bleats” means? AHabits. BVoices. CResponses. DVideos. 8During the first f

Avoice Btouch Cvideos Dsmell C There are about 5,000 different kinds of ladybugs (瓢虫) in the world. They are also known as lady beetles or ladybird beetles. They come in many diff
17、erent colors and patterns, but the best- known in North America is the seven- spotted ladybug, with its shiny, red- and- black body. In many cultures, ladybugs are thought to be good luck. Most people like them because they are pretty, lovely and do no harm to human beings. But farmers love them bec
18、ause they eat aphids and other plant- eating pests. One ladybug can eat up 5,000 insects in its lifetime! Most ladybugs have dome- shaped bodies with six short legs. Depending on the kind, they can have spots, stripes, or nothing at all. Seven- spotted ladybugs are red or orange with three spots on
19、each side and one in the middle. They have a black head. Ladybugs are colorful for a reason. They tell the enemy: “Eat something else! I taste terrible.” When threatened, they may play dead. Birds are ladybugs main predators (天敌), but they are also eaten by frogs, spiders, and dragonflies. Ladybugs
20、are happy in many different places, including grasslands, forests, cities, suburbs, and along rivers. Seven- spotted ladybugs are native to Europe but were brought to North America in the mid- 1900s. Ladybugs are most active from spring until fall. When the weather turns cold, they look for a warm p
21、lace to hibernate, such as in rotting logs, under rocks, or even inside houses. These hibernating places can have thousands of ladybugs. The name “ladybug” was given by European farmers who prayed to the Virgin Mary when pests began eating their crops. After ladybugs came and wiped out the invading
22、insects, the farmers named them “beetle of Our Lady”. This later was shortened to “lady beetle” and “ladybug”. 9What cant we conclude from the text? ALadybugs can live along rivers. BSeven- spotted ladybugs were brought to Europe from North America. CLadybugs are very active in autumn. DThe name “la
23、dybug” came from “beetle of Our Lady” 10Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? ASeven- spotted Ladybugs BThe Development of Ladybugs CThe History of Ladybugs DLadybugs 11 The underlined word “aphid” in Paragraph 2 is probably a kind of . Apest Bbird Cplant Dtree 12From the t
24、hird paragraph we can infer that . Aall ladybugs have spots Bthe colorful body can protect them Cmost ladybugs are red or orange Dfrogs are not one of the predators D Even if trees cannot walk, they are still on the move. In parts of the Arctic, entire forests are moving northward. Across the Arctic
25、, temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else in the world. As that happens, the tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra (冻原) starts has been moving northward. Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind. To do this,_plants tend to grow
26、horizontal (水平的) branches low to the ground. The energy it takes for trees to grow this way means they dont have enough energy to make seeds. But as Earths climate has been warming, trees no longer have to just grow horizontally. Many can instead grow up toward the sky. This takes less energy. And w
27、ith all that leftover energy, these trees have started producing more seeds. This happens especially in places where white spruce (白云杉) grows. White spruce, which is a North American tree, is quite able to produce a lot of seeds, which can move long distances in the wind. When windblown seeds end up
28、 on the tundra beyond the tree line, they eventually can sprout (发芽) new trees. This explains how a forest can move. Of course, the process would work only if the tundra were warm enough. But in recent years, the whole planet has been warming. New trees will provide shelter for some snow. Keeping th
29、e suns rays from making the white surface disappear. Instead, the trees absorb the suns heat. This warms the surrounding air. The extra warmth encourages even more trees to produce seeds. That further boosts a forests ability to expand. In addition, more trees will trap more snow, preventing much of
30、 it from being blown away. Snow can trap heat in the soil below, which encourages trees to grow. The recent rise of temperatures has helped more trees grow past the tree line. People worry about impacts on the animals that depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter. 13The passage is most proba

33、 foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month._1_ One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. _2_ We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep
34、 have been unclear. Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. _3_ Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. _4_ The synapses in the mice ta

If Tononis theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a nights sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new i

The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. _5_ “You keep what matters，” Tononi
37、says. AWe should also try to sleep well the night before. BIts as if the brain is preserving its most important memories. CSimilarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick. DThe processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories. EThats why students do bett
