This ad was probably designed to target_______. .A. ItaliansB. EuropeansC. GermansD. AmericansBAre you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.New research from Columbia University found that prompting (提示) someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build.When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers.To make sure it wasn’t just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal (照字面的) translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that’s literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means.When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompt, like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish.The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself with that culture than create an island of the old one.25. Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?A. To raise a question.B. To arouse readers’ awareness.C. To introduce the topic.D. To tell a story.26. The underlined w ord “pistachios” in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.A. picturesB. volunteersC. an imageD. a kind of food27. From the passage we can infer that ______.A. different images would change with different peopleB. different cultures would affect how students look at the photoC. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fishD. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chased28. According to the research, which is a better way for a student in a foreign land to learn a new culture?A. To surround himself with that culture.B. To create an island of the old one.C. To see random images of China.D. To talk with a Caucasian avatar.CMany science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or e-DNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare or invasive species, study bio-diversity or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.Ryan Kelly is an ecologist at the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs at the University of Washington in Seattle. He works in a laboratory there with other researchers. They study the genetic material released by living creatures. “Essentially we can take a sample of soil or air — and in our case — water, and we can sequence（to arrange the order of genes）the DNA out of it and tell you what is there.”Ryan Kelly says he and his research team are studying water samples collected from Puget Sound. He says the cost of gene sequencing has “been reduced greatly in recent years.” That makes DNA testing more widely available.Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.Caren Goldberg heads the new e-DNA lab at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. She is one of the first biologists in the northwestern United States to take the technology from the testing phase to actually using it.“It is extremely useful for species that are really hard to find. I ha ve spent many hours looking for species that I was pretty sure were there —looking under rocks, looking in water, doing all kinds of surveys.”Caren Goldberg sees e-DNA as a way to get answers more efficiently, safely and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on diving deep, netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.“We’re absolutely at this point where proof-of-concept has been established. I don't think everyone necessar ily is ready for it yet, but I think the majority of people are.”This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the e-DNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Carib bean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden tree-frogs. And in Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian diseases.Ms. Goldberg has used e-DNA testing to confirm the local extinction, disappearance, of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.Now, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management wants Caren Goldberg to look for the Columbia spotted frog in two other western states. The rare amphibian is a candidate for the federal government's threatened species list.Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.A related research goal is to show how long environmental DNA can last and how far it can travel in different environments.29. Paragraph One is intended as_____ of the passage.A. the main ideaB. the introduction of the topicC. a supporting detail of the main ideaD. a contrast of the main idea30. What has made E-DNA magic is that with E-DNA_____.A. you are likely to find information about a species with a little air, water, or soilB. some kind of high-tech device can be used to test for breathable air or signs of lifeC. you are able to get answers more efficiently, safely though with more damageD. the cost of gene sequencing has been reduced greatly in recent years.31. So far, the technique of E-DNA has NOT helped scientists search for ______.A. wild Yangtze giant soft-shellturtlesB. endangered golden tree-frogsC. the local extinction of a leopard frogD. the spread of the New Zealand mud-snailDWhen my daughter Sally was five, I bought Grimm’s Fairy Tales and read Snow White to her one night. At the end of the original Grimm tale, Snow White’s stepmother i s made to put on red-hot iron shoes and dance until she falls down dead.This came as something of a shock. I always thought fairytales had happy endings. And I didn’t want my five-year-old daughter going to sleep thinking: “Thank goodness they tortured (折磨) that old woman to death.” That’s when I decided to write fairy tales.In the years that followed, I wrote tales non-stop and read them to Sally at bedtime. The Corn Dolly was based on a child who was always complaining; The Silly King was just a silly story Sally loved; I wrote The Witch and the Rainbow Cat for Sally because of her enormous appetite for stories about witches while Dr Bonocolus’s Devil is a new version of the Faust legend．Nifobobinus, however, was different. I wrote this book when Sally was older and took up all things girls have to do —who’s friends with who, who stuck a sticker on the back of whose boyfriend, or whatever thing she felt funny.Nicobobinus, the boy who could do anything, came out of my desire for a more innocent world. He lived a 1ong time ago, in a city called Venice. Only his best friend, Rosie, knew he could, and nobody took any notice of anything Rosie said, because she was always having wild ideas anyway.Nicobobinus was so different that it turned out to be an instant hit. The Times called me “an author setting out to rival the classic fairytales”. I asked Sally what she thought of Nicobobinus. She said it was her favourite.32. What led the writer to start writing fairy tales for her daughter?A. The frightening ends of past fairy tales.B. His daughter’s strong interest in fairy tales.C. His desire to let his daughter know more stories.D. His attempt to fill his daughter’s bedtime with something.33. We can infer from the third paragraph that the writer _____.A. was a very productive fairy tale writerB. based all his stories on some old legendsC. never described witches in his fairy talesD. created his stories out of his own interest34. When creating Nicobobinus, the first thing the writer considered was _____.A. the changes of his daughter’s interestsB. what story the publisher wanted to getC. ways to keep his daughter Sally innocentD. the difference of the story from other stories35. The underlined word “rival” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.A. followB. exploreC. challengeD. recommend第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Schools are never perfect and not all teachers are perfect, either.
