三、阅读理解
19. Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks. The big animals are a real danger to people.
So, the Uganda Wildlife Authority has been giving people new tools to keep the elephants away: vuvuzelas. They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events.
The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like. The animals leave, and no one is harmed. A spokesperson for the Uganda Wildlife Authority says vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants. That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack. So far, no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela.
Officials and villagers have tried other ways to stop elephants from coming near farms and houses. They have built beehives – houses for flying insects that sting. They have hung ropes covered in spicy oil. They have dug long, deep holes. And they have used guns, called A-K47s.
An official from the Uganda Wildlife Authority explains that people shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant. But over time, the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun. They only look at the shooter and wave their ears.
Another official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority, Gessa Simblicious, says one elephant-prevention solution will not work everywhere in Uganda. And one day, elephants may accept the vuvuzela noise, just as they do the sound of the A-K47.
But right now, vuvuzelas are an effective, non-violent and fun way to deal with a serious problem.
4. What’s vuvuzelas?
A. New tools some fans use at sports events.
B. New tool to save the elephants.
C. Plastic instruments to keep the elephants away.
D. Plastic instruments to threaten the elephants.
5. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants.
B. An elephants will attack human being in answer to a vuvuzela,
C. Villagers have no way to stop elephants.
D. The elephants are always afraid of the sound of the gun.
6. People shoot the gun in the air in order to ________.
A. shoot the elephants away
B. let the elephants stop being afraid of the sound
C. avoid the elephants hurting people
D. scare the elephants to leave the village
7. The author believes that ________.
A. elephants are not afraid of vuvuzelas
B. Vuvuzelas can not stop elephants
C. vuvuzelas can solve this serious problem forever
D. elephants are used to the sound of vuvuzelas now
参考答案：
4. C
5. A
6. D
7. B
这篇文章主要讲了在乌干达，大象时常入侵村庄，给当地人造成危险。

人们使用多种方法驱赶大象，目前，最有效的是使用vuvuzelas驱赶大象。

4. 细节理解题。

由So, the Uganda Wildlife Authority has been giving people new tools to keep the elephants away: vuvuzelas. They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events.可知vuvuzelas是一种用于驱赶大象的塑料仪器，选C。

5. 细节理解题。

由A spokesperson for the Uganda Wildlife Authority says vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants.可知Vuvuzelas起作用是因为他们没有威胁大象，选A。

6. 细节理解题。

由An official from the Uganda Wildlife Authority explains that people shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant.可知他们朝空气中开枪是为了惊吓大象，让它离开村庄，选D。

7. 推理判断题。

由And one day, elephants may accept the vuvuzela noise, just as they do the sound of the A-K47.可推断出虽然现阶段，vuvuzelas可以成功驱赶大象，但是终有一天，大象会接受vuvuzela的声音，vuvuzelas也就不再奏效，选B。

20. When one tried to unify gravity with quantum mechanics(量子力学), one had to introduce the idea of ‘imaginary’ tim e. If one can go forward in imaginary time, one ought to be able to turn round and go backward. This means that there can be no important difference between the forward and backward directions of imaginary time. Yet there is a big difference between the fo rward and backward directions of ‘real time’ in ordinary life. Imagine a cup of
water falling off a table and breaking into pieces on the floor. If you take a film of this, you can easily tell whether it is being run forward or backward. You can tell that the film is being run backward because this kind of behavior is never observed in ordinary life.
The explanation that is usually given as to why we don’t see broken cups gathering themselves together off the floor and jumping back onto the table is that it is forbidden by the second law of thermodynamics(热力学). This says that in any closed system disorder, or entropy(熵), always increases with time. In other words, it is a form of Murphy’s law: things always tend to go wrong! An intact cup on the table is a state of high order, but a broken cup on the floor is a disordered state. One can go readily from the cup on the table in the past to the broken cup on the floor in the future, but not the other way round.
The increase of disorder or entropy with time is one example of what is called an arrow of time, something that tells the past from the future, giving a direction to time. There are at least three different arrows of time. First, there is the thermodynamic arrow of time, the direction of time in which disorder or entropy increases. Then, there is the psychological arrow of time. This is the direction in which we feel time passes, the direction in which we remember the past but not the future. Finally, there is the cosmological arrow of time. This is the direction of time in which the universe is expanding rather than contracting.
12. How does ‘imaginary time’ differ from ‘real time’ according to the passage?
A. Imaginary time is more important than real time in science.
B. Directions mean less to imaginary time than to real time.
C. One can go backward in real time but can’t in imaginary time.
D. It is harder to tell directions of real time than of imaginary time
13. What’s the purpose of writing about a cup of water falling off a table?
A. To define the forward and backward directions of real time.
B. To tell the backward direction from the forward direction of real time
C. To show real time is more scientific than imaginary time in ordinary life.
D. To prov e there’s a big difference between the directions of real time.
14. Why don’t we see broken cups gathering themselves together off the floor and jumping back onto the table?
A. It doesn’t agree with the second law of thermodynamics.
B. Things will quickly go wrong for entropy increases with time.
C. There is an interchange between a state of high order and a disordered state
D. All above.
15. The underlined word in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. universal
B. physical
C. technological
D. geographical
参考答案：
12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。

当人们试图将引力与量子力学统一起来时，就必须引入“假想”时间的概念。

这意味着，在假想时间的正向和反向方向之间不可能有什么重要的区别。

然而，在日常生活中，“实时”的前进和后退方向有很大的不同。

最后，还有宇宙时间之箭。

这是宇宙膨胀而不是收缩的时间方向。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段中This means that there can be no important difference between the forward and backward directions of imaginary time. Yet there is a big difference between the forward and backward directions of ‘real time’ in ordinary life. Imagine a cup of water falling off a table and breaking into pieces on the floor.“这意味着，在假想时间的正向和反向方向之间不可能有什么重要的区别。

然而，在日常生活中，“实时”的前进和后退方向有很大的不同。

”可知，根据这篇文章，“假想时间”和“真实时间”的不同是“方向对虚时间的意义小于对实时间的意义。

”故选B。

【13题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段中Yet there is a big difference between the forward and backward directions of ‘real time’ in ordinary life. Imagine a cup of water falling off a table and breaking into pieces on the floor.“然而，在日常生活中，“实时”的前进和后退方向有很大的不同。

想象一杯水从桌子上掉下来，在地板上摔成了碎片。

”可知，写一杯从桌子上掉下来的水的目的是来证明实时方向之间有很大的不同。

故选D。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中The explanation that is usually given as to why we don’t see broken cups gathering themselves together off the floor and jumping back onto the table is that it is forbidden by the second law of thermodynamics(热力学).“通常的解释是，为什么我们没有看到破碎的杯子从地板上聚拢起来，然后跳回到桌子上，这是热力学第二定律所禁止
的”。

可知，我们没有看到破碎的杯子从地板上聚拢起来，然后跳回到桌子上去是因为“它不符合热力学第二定律。

”故选A。

【15题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据最后一段最后一句This is the direction of time in which the universe is expanding rather than contracting.“这是宇宙膨胀而不是收缩的时间方向。

”由此推知上句划线词的意思是“宇宙的”。

故选A。

【点睛】做词义猜测题时，利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义，。

最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。

尤其是要抓住所需推断词汇前后的内容。

本题第4小题，根据最后一段最后一句This is the direction of time in which the universe is expanding rather than contracting.“这是宇宙膨胀而不是收缩的时间方向。

”由此推知上句划线词的意思是“宇宙的”。

故选A。
