10、e 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 brother might be on the train he saw in front of himso he got on.That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on t
11、he 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, 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
12、 small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown 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 distr
13、ict 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 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
14、, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. “Theres something about me,” he thoughtand it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered 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
15、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 say, 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
16、 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 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
17、spreading his story via his book.23. What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview?A. His love for his mother.B. His reunion with his mother.C. His long way back home.D. His memory of his hometown.BAt the start of the 20th century, an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made predict
18、ions about life today. His predictions about slowing population growth, mobile phones and increasing height were close to 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 activi
19、ty they need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s, 40 per cent of children walked to school, while in 2010, it 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 ho
20、urs not of their choosing, living in car-dependent neighborhoods with limited public transport.The other side of the coin 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 opport
21、unities to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day.Most parents will have eagerly asked their child about 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.
22、 I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits. This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.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 c
23、an be tough to begin and takes a little planningrunning shoes by the front door, lunches made the night before, umbrellas on rainy days and hats on hot onesbut its certainly worth trying.24. Why does the author mention Watkins predictions in the first paragraph?A. To make comparisons.B. To introduce
24、 the topic.C. To support her argument.D. To provide examples.25. What has caused the decrease in Australian childrens physical activity?A. Plain laziness.B. Health problems.C. Lack of time.C. Security concerns.26. Why does the author find walking with her son worthwhile?A. She can get relaxed after
25、work.B. She can keep physically fit.C. She can help with her sons study.D. She can know her son better.CResearchers 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”
26、 of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and 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
27、animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately 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 ha
28、s shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animals call, the animals 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 at
29、tention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signaling: “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)
30、 out there that is meaningful in its communication, so thats not unique to humans,” said Dr Hobaiter. Dr Susanne Shultz, and 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
31、, the results were “a little disappointing”.“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps 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
32、 animals convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains.”27. What do chimps and humans have in 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 Sh
33、ultz think of the study?A. It was well designed but poorly conducted.B. It was a good try but the findings 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. Diffe
34、rence.B. Conflict.C. Balance.D. Connection.30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthroughB. Chimpanzees developed specific communication skillsC. Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdomD. Chimpanzee language: communicat

36、 are already checked out and off to the parking lot. 31_.It turns out, ifs just math working 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 che
37、ck, a chatty customer can have downstream effects, holding up an entire line.If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability: 33So its not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.Researchers have a good way to d
38、eal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line 一 called 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 unfairl
39、y punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.35 It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can5t afford the space or manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.A. Why does this alw
40、ays seem to happen to you?B. So why dont most places encourage serpentine lines?C. Some of them may have stood in a queue fbr 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 regis
