However, div

38、ersity in bee species may save the day, even if many species in cool highland regions are lost as the climate warms.The research, co-authored by David Roubik, senior scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, was published in an online Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences e

39、dition. “For my money, we do a far superior job of predicting the future when we consider both plants and animals (or in this case the bees),” Roubik said. “Traditional models dont build in the ability of organisms to change. Theyre based on the world as we know it now, not on the way it could be as

40、 people and other organisms adapt.”The research team built models for Latin America, the largest coffee-growing region under several global-warming scenarios(设想)considering both the plants and the bees. Despite the predicted decline in total bee species, in all scenarios at least five bee species we

41、re left in future coffee-suitable areas; in about half of the areas, 10 bee species were left. For land no longer suitable for coffee production systems. In areas where bee diversity is expected to decrease, but coffee can still be grown, adaptation strategies may include increasing bee habitat and

42、protecting native bees. Many coffee types prefer to grow in the shade of tall trees. Choosing tree species that favor bees is a win-win strategy, according to the authors.Roubiks favorite example of a potentially huge environmental change that did not play out as predicted is the case of Africanized

43、 bees, which were accidentally released in Brazil in 1957. Roubiks studies in Panama of coffee pollination(授粉)taking native rainforest bees into consideration began in the 1970s as the aggressive non-native Africanized bees swarmed(成群飞行)north through Latin America. Doomsayers predicted the worst: th

44、e killer bees would disrupt the balance between tropical forest species and their native pollinators. Roubik discovered the opposite to be true. In lowland tropical forests in Mexico, plants pollinated by very busy Africanized bees ended up producing more flowers, thus making more pollen and nectar(

45、花蜜)available to native bees.“Africanized bees control their nest temperature and their own body temperature using water,” Roubik said. “When the climate is hotterunless its too drytrey are better adapted to climate change and pollinate coffee trees.”By paying attention to biological processes and ma

46、naging coffee for maximum pollination depending upon the effects of climate on both the plants and the bees, as well as strategically adjusting shade, rotating crops(轮种作物)and conserving natural forests, it may be possible for coffee producers to adapt to climate change.58. According to David Roubik,

47、 traditional models of the effects of climate change _.A. are based on a world we are unfamiliar withB. take both plants and animals into considerationC. make an accurate prediction about coffee growingD. dont consider the adaptation of organisms to climate change59. The third paragraph is mainly us

48、ed to _.A. predict the side effects of global warmingB. teach farmers how to improve the quality to coffeeC. introduce the effects of bees on coffee productionD. offer advice for coffee growers to deal with global warming60. Which of the following may best describe the case of Africanized bees?A. A

49、fault on the right side.B. Survival of the fittest.C. Once bitten, twice shy.D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.CProcter & Gamble (P&G), one of the worlds biggest marketers, has announced a change in the way it buys advertising on Facebook. It has started cutting its spend on highly targeted ads a

50、nd increasing its spend on ads that address much larger numbers of the potential audiences for its brands, which include Tide, Pampers and Gillette. Explaining this change of emphasis, P&Gs global brand building officer, Marc Pritchard, said, “We targeted too much, and went too narrow.”Facebooks ast

51、onishing income growth comes, in part, from its ability to deliver micro-targeted audiences(推送精准目标受众)to advertisers, and P&G in fact admits that it has wasted millions of dollars in the misguided pursuit of effectiveness.Facebook used to be irresistible to advertisers. It presents advertisers this q

52、uestion: Instead of sending your message to millions in a television ad, why not use data to reach only those you need to reach? But as many people may have noticed, making perfectly targeted ads appears to be much harder than it sounds. Most digital ads are easily ignored. Information about consume

53、rs is not the same as insight into human beings.The more fundamental problem with micro-targeting is that for big brands, advertising has never really been about messageseven brand owners have never quite realized it. It is about the creation of shared memories, triggered at the point of purchase. T

54、hink about some of the great brands: Nike, Apple, and yes, Pampers. If you buy them, it is because you know millions of others do, and because they seem to stand for something that, far from being unique to you, is common to all of us: achievement, creativity, and nurturing. The broader these brands

55、 go, the better they do.When a consumer reaches for something on the shelf, they usually reach for the familiar. To achieve that status, a brand needs to have done something that lots of people regularly see, notice and enjoy. What seemed to be the wastefulness of TV was in fact its secret sauce. By

56、 reaching large numbers of people at the same time, TV ads had the power to turn brands into cultural icons, which took up consumers minds.In its conversations with advertisers, Facebook now talks less about targeting, preferring to emphasize the large number of consumers that it can help brands to

57、reach. It is investing in video functions and is encouraging its clients to make short films. After years of telling clients TV is wasteful, it is now doing a good job of imitating it.61. Which of the following contributes to P&Gs strategy change?A. The rise of digital media.B. The high cost of targ

58、eted ads.C. The limitations of micro-targeting.D. The reduction of targeted advertising.62. It can be learned that Facebook has already _.A. stopped delivering micro-targeted audience to advertisersB. been faced with the challenge of slowing income growthC. been blamed for its ineffective adsD. lost

59、 its attraction towards P&G63. According to Paragraph 4, micro-targeting is problematic with _.A. delivering messagesB. building common valuesC. creating unique experiencesD. triggering the purchasing desire64. Whats the authors attitude towards Facebooks opinion about TV ads?A. Tolerance.B. Approva

60、l.C. Doubt.D. Hesitancy.DThis passage is adapted from George Eliots “Middlemarch”. Dorothea and her husband, Mr. Casaubon, a middle-aged scholar, are on their honeymoon in Rome, Will Ladislaw, an artist, is Mr. Casaubons cousin.It was in that way Dorothea came to be crying as soon as she was securel

61、y alone. But she was presently roused by a knock at the door, which made her hurriedly dry her eyes before saying, “Come in.” Tantripp had brought a card, and said that there was a gentleman waiting in the lobby. The courier had told him that only Mrs. Casaubon was at home, but he said he was a rela

62、tion of Mr. Casaubon: would she see him?“Yes,” said Dorothea, without a pause; “show him into the salon(会客室).” Her chief impressions about young Ladislaw were that when she had seen him at Lowick she had been made aware of Mr. Casaubons generosity towards him, and also that she had been interested i

63、n his own hesitation about his career. She was alive to anything that gave her an opportunity for active sympathy, and at this moment it seemed as if the visit had come to shake her out of her self-absorbed discontentto remind her of her husbands goodness, and make her feel that she had now the righ

64、t to be his helpmate in all kind deeds. She waited a minute or two, but when she passed into the next room there were just signs enough that she had been crying to make her face look more youthful and appealing than usual. She met Ladislaw with that polite smile of goodwill, and held out her hand to

65、 him. Her was the elder by several years, but at that moment he looked much the younger, for his face went red suddenly, and he spoke with a shyness extremely unlike the indifference(冷谈)of his manner with his male companion at the museum, while Dorothea because all the calmer with a wondering desire

66、 to put his at ease.“I was not aware that you and Mr. Casaubon were in Rome, until this morning, when I saw you in the Vatican Museum,” he said. “I knew you at oncebutI mean, that I concluded Mr. Casaubons address would be found at the Poste Restante(邮件待领处), and I was anxious to pay my respects to h

67、im and you.”“Pray sit down. He is not here now, but he will be glad to hear of you, I am sure,” said Dorothea, seating herself unthinkingly between the fire and the light of the tall window, and pointing to a chair opposite. “Mr. Casaubon is much engaged, but you will leave your addresswill you not?

68、and he will write to you.”“You are very good,” said Ladislaw, beginning to lose his shyness in the interest with which he was observing the signs of crying which had changed her face, “My address is on my card. But if you will allow me I will call again tomorrow at one hour when Mr. Casaubon is like

69、ly to be at home.”“He goes to read in the Library of the Vatican every day, and you can hardly see him except by an appointment. Especially now. We are about to leave Rome, and he is very busy. He is usually away almost from breakfast till dinner. But I am sure he will wish you to sine with us.”Will

70、 Ladislaw was silent for a few moments. He had never been fond of Mr. Casaubon, and if it had not been for the sense of obligation(迫于人情), he would have laughed at him. But the idea of this dried-up pedant(书呆子)having first got this adorable young creature to marry him, and then passing his honeymoon

71、away from her stirred him with a sort of comic disgust: he was divided between the impulse(冲动)to laugh aloud and the equally unseasonable impulse to burst into scornful invective(轻蔑的咒骂). For an instant he felt that the struggle was casing a queer contortion(扭曲)of his face, but with a good effort he

72、resolved it into nothing more offensive than a merry smile.65. When at Lowick, Ladislaw expressed uncertainty about _.A. his marriageB. Mr. Casaubons attitude to himC. what kind of job he should getD. whether Dorothea could help him66. Dorothea regards Ladislaws visit as a chance to _.A. show sympat

73、hy for a lost young manB. express her sadness about being left aloneC. make a good impression on her husbands relationD. strengthen the bond between her husband and her67. How did Ladislaw get to know Mr. Casaubon and Dorothea were in Rome?A. He saw Dorothea in the Vatican Museum.B. He received a le

74、tter from Mr. Casaubon.C. He heard about it from his relations.D. Mr. Casaubon paid a visit to him.68. What was Mr. Casaubon busy with during his honeymoon?A. Keeping company with his wife Dorothea.B. Reading in the Library of the Vatican.C. Visiting his old friends in Rome.D. Traveling from place t

75、o place.69. Which of the following can best describe Ladislaws feeling towards Mr. Casaubon?A. Respectful.B. Grateful.C. Envious.D. Indifferent.70. In the passage, the main focus changes from _.A. Dorotheas angle to Ladislaws angle to explore the characters thoughtsB. the writers angle to characters

76、 angles to suggest the limitations of characters anglesC. the setting of Dorotheas room to that of the salon to stress Dorotheas lonelinessD. Dorotheas feeling for Ladislaw to her feeling for Mr. Casaubon to show her inner conflict第II卷(丙部分,共35分)第四部分 任务型阅读(百强校英语解析团队专供)(共10小题:每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据

77、所读内容在文章后表格中的表格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词,请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。In a study just published in the journal Intelligence, using search terms such as “stupid thing to do”, Balazs Aczel and his colleagues compiled a collection of stories describing stupid mistakes from sources such as The Huffington Post and

78、TMZ. The researchers then had a sample of university students rate each story on the responsibility of the people involved, the influence of the situation, the seriousness of the consequences, and other factors.Analyses of the subjects ratings revealed three varieties of stupid mistakes. The first i

79、s when a persons confidence goes beyond their skill, as when a Pittsburgh man robbed two banks in broad daylight without wearing a disguise, believing that lemon juice he had rubbed on his face would make him invisible to security cameras.The confidence-skill disconnection has been named the Dunning

80、-Kruger effect, after a study by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger. Dunning and Kruger had Cornell undergraduates perform tests of humor, logic, and grammar, and then rate how well they think they performed compared to other subjects in the study. The worst performing subjects, wh

81、ose scores put them in the 12th percentile, estimated that they had performed in the 62nd percentile. Summarizing the findings, Dunning noted, “Poor performersand we are all poor performers at some thingsfail to see the flaws in their things or the answers they lack.” When we think we are at our bes

82、t is sometimes when we are at our objective worst.As any number of political scandals illustrate, the second type of stupid mistake involves impulsive actswhen we seem unable to keep our behavior in check. In the scandal that became known as Weinergate, former U.S. representative Anthony Weiner sent

83、 blue texts and pictures of himself to women he met on Facebook. (After resigning, Weiner continued his cyber-dalliances, and then fell prey to the Dunning-Kruger effect when he overestimated his support in the 2013 New York City mayoral primary; he received 5% of the vote.)The final variety of stup

84、id mistake involves failing to concentrateHomer Simpsonesque Doh moments. As arguably the best example from American sports history, in the 1929 Rose Bowl, University od California star Roy Riegels recovered a fumble(失误球)and returned it 65 yards the wrong way. Riegels mistake set up a safety for Geo

85、rgia Tech, which turned out to be the deciding factor in the opponents victory.
