A billionaire has recently made one of the biggest charitable（慈善的）donations to a university in China’s history. Chen Tianqiao donated $115 million to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to help advanced brain research. The donation will be spent deepening the understanding of how the brain works. Chen has been interested to brain research, believing it can shape the industries such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality. However, this huge donation has caused heated discussing among Chinese scholars and internet users alike.
Many criticized him for choosing to give money to a foreign university rather than home institutes for brain research, which are developing fast and are on track to catch up with the US in just a few years. Rao Yi, a biologist at Peking University, even said the donation was a typical mistake.
Others, however, support his choice. They believe Caltech is a more reasonable choice compared to Chinese research institutions. Caltech has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology, and therefore it produces more efficient results. In addition, the results of the research benefit not only the American people, but also the rest of the world.
A similar controversial case started two years ago when Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese students.
Many believe that China is still behind in the management and use of donated money, and that as a result, Chinese charity donators are looking abroad. In comparison, Western countries like the US, which have a long history of donating money, have well-developed systems that use money efficiently. They can also provide full access for donors who want to track the use of the money. To get more donations, Chinese universities should be braver and more honest. They need self-reflection, rather than envy.
24. Why did Chen’s donation draw criticism?
A. It was not given to a Chinese university.
B. It was one of the largest to Caltech.
C. It was not used efficiently in the USA.
D. It was used in brain research.
25. What is the reason for some p eople in favor of Chen’s choice?
A. The Chinese are just too envious
B. The achievements will benefit the whole world
C. Caltech is a university with a longer history
D. The fund can help disadvantaged Chinese students
26. What is then author’s purpose to mention Pan Shiyi in the passage?
A. To suggest the enthusiasm of the billionaires
B. To show off generosity of the billionaires
C. To inform Chinese students are poor at academy
D. To stress the disagreement over donating abroad.
27. What does the author think of the Chinese universities should do to get more fund?
A. explore artificial intelligence
B. develop efficient systems
C. grow fast and catch up with the US
D. educate more honest graduates
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. B
【解析】

C
Anyone who commutes (通勤) by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are not alone in facing potential backups.
Ants also commute—between their nest and sources of food. The survival of their colonies depends on doing this efficiently.
When humans commute, there’s a point at which cars become dense (稠密) enough to slow down the flow of traffic, causing jam. Motsch, a mathematician in Arizona State University, and his colleagues wanted to know if ants on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched. “The goal was to try to find out at what point they are going to have a traffic jam.” said Sebastien Motsch.
But it appears that that never happened. They always managed to avoid traffic jam. The flow of ants did increase at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then levelled off at high densities. But it never slowed down or stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.
The researchers then took a closer look at how the behaviour of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole. And they found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. These behaviours may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. The ants also manage to avoid colliding (碰撞) with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down. The study is in the journal eLife.
Can ants he lp us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That’s because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first. Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for
self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans—and more like ants.
28. What does the underlined word “this” in para.2 refer to?
A. Surviving.
B. Commuting.
C. Finding food.
D. Avoiding jams.
29. How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants?
A. By finding out the dense points.
B. Through closer observation.
C. By controlling the widths of their path.
D. By regulating their numbers.
30. According to the research, ants can avoid traffic jams mainly because ________.
A. they follow a special route.
B. they level off at high densities.
C. they never stop or slow down on the way.
D. they depend on their natural chemicals to adjust their speeds.
31. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Traffic jams.
B. Unavoidable? Not for ants!
C. Survival of an ant colony.
D. Difference between human and ants.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】

本文为议论文。

我们生活中常会遇到交通拥挤的现象，蚁群中虽然蚂蚁很多，但是不会导致交通堵塞。

本文用事实证明了蚁群可以避开交通堵塞。

【28题详解】
猜测词意题。

第二段划线部分“this”的所在语境“Ants also commute—between their nest and sources of food.The survival of their colonies depends on doing this efficiently”蚂蚁也在它们的巢穴和食物来源之间往返。

蚂蚁的殖民地的生存有效地依赖于“this”,由此可知，蚂蚁要生存就要依赖于“Ants also commute”。

可知，this是指蚂蚁的“commuting”，故选B。

【29题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章第三段中“they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched.” 因此，他们通过在一群阿根廷蚂蚁群和食物来源之间建造不同宽度的桥梁来调节交通密度，然后等着观察。

可推断出，研究人员是通过控制蚁群的路的宽度来控制蚁群的密度的。

故选C。

【30题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第五段中“And they found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. These behaviours may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. These behaviours may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is.” 他们发现，当蚂蚁感觉到过度拥挤时，它们会调整速度，避免进入高密度区域，从而避免拥堵。

这些行为可能是由信息素引起的，信息素是一种化学物质，可以告诉其他蚂蚁路线的位置。

可推断出蚂蚁可以避免交通堵塞的主要原因是它们依靠化学物质来调整速度。

由此可知，选D。

【31题详解】
主旨大意题。

文章第一段提出人类上下班遇到交通堵塞是不可避免的。

而蚂蚁也会往返于巢穴与食物源之间。

那么蚂蚁遇到交通阻塞也是不可避免的吗？从第三段至倒数第二段研究者用实验证明，蚂蚁不会的，因为蚂蚁可用分泌的信息素通知同伴调整速度，进而避免拥堵现象出现。

因此最佳标题应该为B项。

故选B。

【点睛】选择标题在英语阅读理解中属于主旨大意题，是一种深层理解题。

要求考生在通读全文的基础上，认真分析文章大意及作者的写作意图。

通常情况下，标题要有根据性，针对性和醒目性的特点。

所谓概括性，就是指标题应最大程度上覆盖全文，囊括文章的主要内容，体现文章的主题。

针对性就是对标题外延的一种界定，标题要直接指向文章的主要特点。

而醒目性是为了吸引了读者的注意，唤起读者对文章阅读的兴趣。

确定最佳标题的方法。

在阅读文章时，要注意文章中反复出现的或强调的信息，寻找与文章大多数内容相关的信息。

找出覆盖全文的核心词汇。

如第4小题属于主旨大意题。

文章第一段提出人类上下班遇到交通堵塞是不可避免的。

而蚂蚁也会往返于巢穴与食物源之间。

那么蚂蚁遇到交通阻塞也是不可避免的吗？从第三段至倒数第二段研究者用实验证明，蚂蚁不会的，因为蚂蚁可用分泌的信息素通知同伴调整速度，进而避免拥堵现象出现。

因此最佳标题应该为B项。

故选B。

D
It is no secret that physical activity is necessary to a person’s well-being. Because children are continuously developing physically and emotionally, they are especially affected by the benefits of activity. Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative reports that nearly one-third of US children are overweight or obese, and that “schools are a key setting for kids to get their 60 minutes of play with moderate activity, given the significant portion(部分) of time they spend there.”
Physical education programs in schools directly benefit students’ physical health. Regular exercise promotes muscles and bone development. In addition to participating in physical activity, students in P.E. learn the fundamentals of a healthful lifestyle, the building blocks upon which they can develop into healthy, knowledgeable
Though the lack of attention on P.E. is often justified as an opportunity to spend more time in the classroom, studies show that physical activity contributes to improved academic performance. Regular activity during the school day is strongly associated with higher concentration levels. A statewide policy in North Carolina requires that children from kindergarten to eighth grade participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day.
Activities in P.E. help children develop healthful social interactions. From a young age, children learn cooperation through group activities and form a positive sense of identity as part of a team. Such group activities are continually important as children grow older. The International Platform on Sport and Development states that sport has been used as a practical tool to engage young people in their communities through volunteering, resulting in higher levels of leadership and community engagement among young people.
The benefits of P.E. to a child’s mental health are both complex and comprehensive. Improved physical health, academics and social interactions all contribute to good mental health. Physical activity sets the stage for a good night’s sleep, provides more energy to participate in hobbies and interact with others.
32. The first paragraph implies that ________.
A. children are becoming much lazier nowadays
B. some schools have forbidden physical activity
C. most parents are dissatisfied with school education
D. schools must pay more attention to physical education
33. Physical education is ignored in a way because ________.
A. children dislike taking physical activity
