8、ss.BThe similarities between elephant and human behavior has been a curiosity to scientists worldwide. These huge beasts are not so different from us. Their devotion to their family is just as powerful as the friendships between humans. In order to prevent future elephant attacks, people must first
9、understand the similarities between elephants and themselves.Because deaths are felt so deeply in elephants, memories of people harming or killing other members are not forgotten. Due to the Uganda-Tanzania War in Africa, poaching (偷猎) elephant increased during the 1970s and continued, despite gover
10、nment restrictions. However, ecologists like Eve Abe did not see this as simple poaching; they saw it as a “mass destruction”. Elephants that have witnessed the murder of a matriarch, are more likely to become violent and attack humans. Many aggressive elephants do not act without reason; they are s
11、uffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). At a young age, humans invade their life, kill their parents, and ultimately destroy their peaceful environment. More and more calves live neglected lives without a mother figure, and have to become a parent early for survival. Humans that had a d
12、ifficult childhood or early family life also suffer from aggression and pain. Young elephants have been known to have “nightmares,” waking up suddenly and screaming. These are clearly signs of stress, as males grow up to be increasingly hostile (敌对的) humans and target certain villages where painful
13、experiences had occurred.Although many see elephants as massive, violent, and simple-minded animals, their social structure is not unlike many human societies. Humans and elephants have been on parallel paths. However, if people continue practicing ignorance over the cruel treatment of these creatur
14、es, then collision will become inevitable. Cruel treatment of elephants still goes on, but by understanding the similarities between us, it can be stopped.4.

Elephants attack villages when painful experiences occur.7. Why should we take good care of the young kids?A. Because early family
17、 life counts.B. Because they will be aggressive when grown up.C. Because humans and elephants are on parallel paths.D. Because signs of stress have to be stopped.CWorld records can be set even if you are over 100 years old.Robert Marchand was born in 1911 in northern France. He enjoys riding a bicyc
18、le, and started cycling seriously when he was in his 60s. Marchand is now 105 years old.On Wednesday, a crowd gathered at the Velodrome National, about 30 kilometers outside of Paris. They were there to see how far he could travel in one hour.The record for one hour is held by Britains Bradley Wiggi
19、ns, a former Tour de France winner. Wiggins covered 54.5 kilometers in 2019. Evelyn Stevens of the United States holds the womens record. She went almost 48 kilometers in an hour last year.In 2019, Marchand set a record for riders over 100 years old when he traveled almost 27 kilometers in an hour.
20、So the question many people asked this week was: “Could he break his own record?” Marchand set off on his record attempt as sports lovers cheered and photographers watched. He moved slowly but steadily around the cycling track.Marchand is relatively small. He is only 1.52 meters tall and weighs 52 k
21、ilograms. When the hour ended, he completed 92 times around the track. That is just over 22.5 kilometers.After the event, Marchand said he could have done better. He did not see his trainers telling him he only had 10 minutes remaining. “I would have gone faster. I would have posted a better time,”
22、he said.But the news was still good, as he did set a new record for riders 105-years-old or older. “Im now waiting for a rival (对手),” he said.8.

25、 Experience is the best teacher.B. You cant teach an old dog new tricks.C. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.D. Old people may still cherish high aspirations.DCities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short o
26、f trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average tempera
27、ture in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city off
28、icials are going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soari
29、ng. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to
30、cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftopsat least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering
31、the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and its much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day
32、.”12. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?A. Planting more trees in the streets.B. Covering the streets with white paint.C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops.D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.13. What should the city officials emphasize during hot sum
33、mer?A. How to make the city cooler.B. Where to wear a white shirt.C. Why to coat the roads with black paintD. When to cut off the electricity supply.14. What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?A. Increasing the indoor activities.B. Promoting the sale of air conditioners.C. Making life
34、easier and more comfortable.D. Reducing the number of cold days.15. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. L.A. adopted many approaches to fight against the heat.B. L.A. calls on people to fight against global warming.C. More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets.D. L.A. is painting

36、ncestors invented writing, laws, cities or farming, even before they used metal to make tools.Humans are born to trade. 17 Evidence from hunter-gatherers suggests that the exchange of food and other necessary things comes naturally, as well as the ability to keep a record of the credits involved. An
37、d once trade begins, the benefits are hard to resist.Ancient local coastal people in northern Australia traded fish hooks, along a chain of trading partners, with people living 400 miles inland, who cut and polished local stone to make axes（斧子）. 18 Finally, both groups of “producers”, by concentrati
