第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
Neil Jordan, a conservation biologist, has come up with a novel method for protecting cattle from African lions: paint eyes on their behinds. The lions will think their inten ded prey has seen them and will give up, since they’ve lost the element of surprise.
This psychological trickery has been called “iCow”, which is actually not as strange as it sounds. The eye-like patterns on butterfly wings are known to prevent preying birds and woodcutters in Indian forests wear masks on the backs of their heads when working to discourage hungry tigers.
The inspiration for the iCow strategy came while Jordan was based in a village in Botswana, when two lionesses were killed by local farme rs to revenge their cattle’s death. The African lion is a vulnerable species, with numbers dropping from over 100,000 in the 1990s to about 30,000 today. Much of that decline is due to these kinds
of revengeful killings because farmers have no effective strategies for protecting their herds.
“Lions are hunters that like to attack by surprise. They move slowly, quietly and carefully to their prey, get close and jump on them unseen,” he said. When Jordan was watching a lion follow an antelope one day, he noti ced the lion gave up the hunt once the antelope spotted it.
So he joined one of the local farmers on a 10-week trial study, painting eyes on one-third of a herd of 62 cattle. When the cattle returned each night, they took a head count to see how many had survived. Only three cows were killed by lions during this period-all without the painted eyes on their behinds. And all the painted cows survived. However, Jordan warned that so far this is just a promising idea. He is now back in Botswana for a more ambitious study, armed with GPS devices to better monitor the movement of predators and prey.
21. The iCow strategy is designed to .
A. kill the lions
B. warn the preys of danger
C. identify the cattle
D. scare off animals that kill
22. When hunting, lions like to .
A. give up halfway
B. hesitate to take action
C. chase their prey steadily
D. launch surprising attacks
23. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The iCow strategy is likely to bring great benefit.
B. In the 10-week trial study more cattle were killed.
C. The farmers will take their revenge on more lions.
D. Neil got inspiration from patterns on butterfly wings.
B
Conformity involves changing your behaviour to “fit in” or “go along” with the people around y ou. In some cases, this social influence might involve agreeing with or acting like the majority of people in a specific group, or involve behaving in a particular way to be viewed as “normal” by the group. Actually, conformity is something that happens re gularly in our social world. Sometimes we’re aware of our behaviour, but in many cases it happens without much thought or awareness on our parts. And even in some cases we go along with things we disagree with or behave in ways we know we shouldn’t.
There are countless examples of conformity in life. For instance, a teenager dresses in a certain style because he
wants to fit in with the rest of the teenagers in his social group. A woman reads a book for her book club and really enjoys it. When she attends her book club meeting, the other members all dislike the book. Rather than go against the group opinion, she simply agrees with the others that the book is terrible.
Why do we conform? In many cases, looking to the rest of the group for clues for how we should behave can actually be helpful. Others might have greater knowledge or experience than we do, so following their lead can actually be instructive. And in some cases, we conform to the expectations of the group to avoid looking foolish. This tendency ca n become especially strong in situations where we aren’t quite sure how to act. Additionally, there are some situations where we conform just in order to avoid punishments or gain rewards.
There are many factors that influence conformity. For example, not knowing how to perform a difficult task makes people more likely to conform. Personal characteristics such as motivation to achieve and strong leadership abilities are linked with a decreased tendency to conform. And people are more likely to conform in situations that involve between three and five other people.
24. What can we learn about conformity from the first paragraph?
A. Actually it is rare for us to conform.
B. Blind conformity should be criticized.
C. Sometimes people tend to conform unconsciously.
D. Conformity means changing your behaviour reluctantly.
25. Which of the following is a case of conformity?
A. Joining a certain organization.
B. Following the ongoing fashion.
C. Sharing something personal with others.
D. Giving up your creative ideas cautiously.
26. When are we most likely to conform according to the text?
A. When we are at a loss.
B. When we are rejected.
C. When we feel threatened.
D. When we feel uncomfortable.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Conformity cannot be avoided by anyone.
B. Conformity is linked to the size of the group.
C. Conformity is a natural response to challenges.
D. Conformity isn’t related to individual differences.
C
Over a decade ago, scientists already recognized the potential smart cloths with sensors (传感器) could improve well-being. Nowadays the industry is starting to target specific health conditions. One example is diabetes. Now, Siren Care has developed an injury-detecting sock that could help people with diabetes prevent disability. Early detection is important in this process. Since skin ulcers (溃疡) are accompanied by a rise in temperature, studies show that detecting foot skin temperature at home could significantly reduce skin ulcers. Based on this, Siren produced a sock that can measure foot temperature in real time.
What’s special about Siren’s product is that the sensors exist in the fabric of the sock. The product is powered by “SirenSmart”, a kind of electronic yarn (纱线). They weave the yarn into a sock using ordinary weaving machines and connect the final product to a PCB battery, whose lifetime is two months if used daily. The socks are only on when they’re worn; they go into sleep mode when off.
All data from the socks is sent to the Siren app using Bluetooth technology, so the user can know the condition of his/her feet in real time. The application gives foot health scores and, when necessary, warns the user to adjust activity or see a healthcare professional.
Ran Ma, the company’s CEO, explains the sock can tell t he user when to see a doctor. The socks are machine-washable, and don’t need to be charged. Every six months, the user gets a new box with seven pairs of socks to replace the used ones.
Siren presented their product this year in Las Vegas and announced tha t they’re planning to start shipping their socks this summer. More excitingly, Siren is already planning future applications that will go beyond diabetes care. Anyway, as smart clothing becomes accessible, you’ll begin to see this health technology become more common.
28. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The result of the study.
B. The problem with skins.
C. The cause of skin ulcers.
D. The importance of early detection.
29. What can we learn about Siren’s smart s ock from the second paragraph?
A. It can be charged.
B. It is sensitive to skins.
C. Its sensors can be seen.
D. It is comfortable to wear.
30. What should be the function of the smart sock?
A. It cures its user of possible illness.
B. It informs its user of his/her foot health.
C. It assists its user to make a quicker recovery.
D. It tests its user’s physical strength in real time.
31. What does the author think of the smart clothing industry?
A. It has a bright future.
B. It is a profitable industry.
C. It is readily available.
D. It has widely applied.
D
Scientists have found living organisms trapped in crystals (晶体) that could be 50,000 years old.
The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica, Mexico. These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston, who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States, says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.
She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.
The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separated from the surface and the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe’s Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs (病菌) or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.
NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last week’s announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them. “Why are we surprised?” Noonan asked. “As a biologist, I would say l ife on earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful.”
Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries, such as Ukraine and the
United States. These microbes appear to be impossible to kill. Boston said they show how difficult life on earth can be.
32. The existence of the ancient microbes relies on .
A. surrounding insects
B. eating minerals
C. diverse plants
D. absorbing air
33. What can we infer about the caves in Naica from the passage?
A. The walls were built during Middle Ages.
B. The temperature in the caves is quite low.
C. The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to.
D. The caves have been explored since they were formed.
34. What is the biologist Norine Noonan’s attitude towards the f indings?
A. Neutral.
B. Doubtful.
C. Positive.
D. Indifferent.
35. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Living organisms bring hope to scientific research.
B. Caves provide living environment for living organisms.
C. Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions.
D. Scientists discover 50,000-year-old “super life” in Mexico.

What Is Emotional Eating?
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger. 36 Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot—especially without realizing it—emotional eating can affect weight, health and overall well-being.
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings. 37 One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they’re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life
events, like a death or a divorce. 38
Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. 39 It’s not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on.
We’re all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some peopl e emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. One trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. 40 That’s why it helps to know the difference betw een physical hunger and emotional hunger. Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.
A. Believe it or not, we’ve all been there.
B. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.
C. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards.
D. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.
E. But understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.
F. Boys seem to prefer hot? homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream.
G. More often, though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.
