One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing
2、 at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didnt have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was get
3、ting colder by the minute. Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use. He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The f
4、irst thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didnt, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of hi
5、mself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldnt lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he couldhe huddled(蜷缩) in his cave an
6、d slept. The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldnt find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher fo
7、und him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved. Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls survival show Man vs. Wild.Thats where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandone

These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3，300 feetas
19、far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless theyre eating it, or unless something is eating them.” And they are as cl
20、ear as glass. How does an animal become seethrough? Its trickier than you might think. The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absor
21、b light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily. But a transparent object doesnt absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That m
22、eans a transparent object doesnt look very different from the surrounding air or water. You dont see ityou see the things behind it. To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that abso
23、rb specific colours of light. But a transparent animal doesnt have pigments, so its tissues wont absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering. Animals are built of many different materialsskin, fat, and moreand light
24、 moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be seeth
25、rough. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it. Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look un
26、iform. But how theyre doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white. 8. According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals_ Astay in groups Bcan be easily damaged Cappear only in dee

One way for an animal to become transparent is to _ Achange the direction of light travel Bgather materials to scatter light Cavoid the absorption of light Dgrow big

The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals_ A move more slowly in deep water Bstay seethrough even after death Cproduce more tissues for their survival Dtake effective action to reduce light spreading DTechnological change is everywhere and affects every aspect
29、 of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes that are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes. An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys(调查) on this topic suggest that parents to
30、day continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that todays parents are trying
31、to manage their childrens lives past the point where this behaviour is appropriate. However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children. In the context(背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause o
32、f change in the case of parents involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean tha
33、t the urge to do so wasnt present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parentstodays grandparentswould have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier. Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication betw
34、een parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past. Thanks to the advanced
35、 technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire b
36、y parents to keep their children under their wings. 12. The surveys inform us of _ Athe development of technology Bthe changes of adult childrens behaviour Cthe parents overprotection of their college children Dthe means and expenses of students communication 13. The writer believes that_ Aparents t
37、oday are more protective than those in the past Bthe disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages Ctechnology explains greater parental involvement with their children Dparents changed attitudes lead to college childrens delayed independence14. What is the best title for the passage? ATec
38、hnology or attitude BDependence or independence CFamily influences or social changes DCollege management or communication advancement 15.
