19、 the young man in his quest for excellence.”可知,探索艺术的道路是充满波折和困难的,他受到过很多批评,结合下文他最终取得了很高的成就可知,D选项“艰难但有回报的”符合文意。故选D。6In Hans opinion,what do an experienced tailor and a good seal carver share?AThe huge respect they earn.BThe flexibility they display at work.CThe targeted customers they serve.DThe effort
20、s they have to make to succeed.B推理判断题。根据倒数第三段韩的原话“A seal for a good painting is like the buttons for an haute couture.An experienced tailor always knows how to choose buttons that match the whole style,.”可知,和裁缝一样,印章的篆刻也要求与作品整体的风格相搭配,即每一个作品都要搭配不同风格的印章。B选项“他们展示在作品中的灵活性”与文意相符。故选B。7In which section of a

22、niversity of Toulouse and the University of Arizona focused on Argentine ants,which are only 23 millimetres long and frequently move from colony (栖息地) to colony depending on how far food is.Tapping into the ants talent for fast commutes(通勤),the researchers constructed bridges between their colonies.
23、The bridges varied in width from a fifth to three quarters of an inch.Then the researchers sat back and monitored the traffic.To their surprise,even when those narrower bridges were nearly overloaded,there were no 20ant pileups.And traffic remained steady regardless of how crowed the bridges were be
24、cause ants could adjust to the flow of road conditions.“When crowding on the path increased,ants assessed it locally and adjusted their speed accordingly to avoid any interruption of traffic flow,” the researchers said.“Moreover,ants avoided entering a crowded path and made sure the bridge was never
25、 overloaded.”The lesson for humans?The traffic problem mostly lies in our loss of the quality that the ants have.Youve probably noticed it on your own commute to work.Driving is fun when therere few cars on the roada lanechange (车道变换)here,a little acceleration there.Then traffic slows down.But some
26、impatient drivers still constantly move between lanes.“Traffic jams are common in human society where some people are focusing on their own personal objectives,” the researchers said.“In contrast,ants share a common goal:the survival of the colony.Thus theyre expected to act cooperatively to get foo
27、d.”The research also suggests that the everwidening of highways may never free us from traffic jams.As long as we drive along with our own agendas,no matter how many other people are on the road,well always end up in a traffic jam.Indeed,less space may be a good thing.It leaves less room for persona
28、l choices and forces us to take a page from the driving handbook of ants.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。研究人员通过研究发现,蚂蚁拥有的“共同目标”的品质可以避免交通堵塞,这也是人类需要学习的品质。8What did the researchers do to the ants in the experiment?AThey fed them with much delicious food.BThey trained them to avoid heavy traffic.CThey built bridges linki
29、ng their colonies.DThey improved their colonies constantly.C细节理解题。由第二段中的“Tapping into the ants talent for fast commutes,the researchers constructed bridges between their colonies.”可知,研究人员利用蚂蚁快速通勤的天赋,在它们的栖息地之间架起了桥梁。故选C。9How did the ants behave during the experiment?AThey worked together to remove the
30、 road blocks.BThey sped up to get out of the traffic jam quickly.CThey made their way carefully in the given direction.DThey adjusted themselves to the flow of the traffic.D推理判断题。由第四段中的“When crowding on the path increased,ants assessed it locally and adjusted their speed accordingly to avoid any int
31、erruption of traffic flow, the researchers said.Moreover,ants avoided entering a crowded path and made sure the bridge was never overloaded.”可知,研究人员发现当道路上的拥挤程度增加时,蚂蚁会对其进行评估,并相应地调整速度,以避免受到交通流的干扰。此外,蚂蚁会避免进入拥挤的小径,并确保桥不会超载。由此可以推断出蚂蚁能根据交通流进行调整。故选D。10What is the biggest cause of the traffic jam in human s
32、ociety?APoor road construction.BPeoples inability to adjust.CPeoples selfish driving.DToo many vehicles on roads.C细节理解题。由倒数第二段“Traffic jams are common in human society where some people are focusing on their own personal objectives,.”可知,交通堵塞在人类社会很普遍,是因为有些人把注意力集中在他们自己的目标上,此处主要指的是人类社会交通堵塞的最大原因是开车人的自私。
33、故选C。11What is the text mainly about?AWhat ants help us do for driving safety.BWhat ants can teach us about traffic jams.CWhy ants drive much better than humans.DWhy ants are best at handling traffic jams.B主旨大意题。文章首先指出,最新研究显示,蚂蚁通过改变行为来满足不断变化的条件,从而保持交通畅通。紧接着指出蚂蚁拥有的“共同目标”的品质,这是人类需要学习的品质。所以短文主要的内容是对于交通堵
34、塞,我们可以从蚂蚁身上学到什么。故选B。DAlthough it has been indicated in recent years that plants are capable of seeing,hearing and smelling,they are still usually thought of as silent.But now,for the first time,Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made
35、 ultrasonic(超声的)sounds at frequencies humans cant hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz.Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz.“These findin
36、gs can alter the way we think about the plant kingdom,” they wrote in their study,which has not yet been published.On average,droughtstressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour,while tobacco plants made 11.When plants stems were cut,tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour,
37、and tobacco plants 15.Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour.It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is.The researchers trained a machinelearning model to separate the plants sounds from those of the wind,rain and other noises of the greenhouse
38、,correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut,based on the sounds intensity and frequency.Waterhungry tobacco plants appeared to make louder sounds than cut tobacco plants,for example.Although Khait and his colleagues only look at tomato and tobacco plants,th
39、ey believe other plants may make sounds when stressed.Enabling farmers to listen for waterstressed plants could open a new direction in the field of precision(精准) agriculture,the researchers suggest.They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to
40、drought.Khaits study also suggests that insects and some mammals can hear and respond to from as far as 5 metres away.A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds waterstressed.Edward Farmer at the University of Lausanne,Switzerland thinks the idea that moths might be listening to pl
41、ants is “a little too speculative”After all,there are already plenty of explanations for why insects avoid some plants and not others.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章指出,植物在不同压力下能发出不同频率的声音,而这是人类无法用耳朵听到的。同时文章还提及了该研究发现在农业方面的潜在的应用。12What were tomato and tobacco plants reactions to different stresses?AThey reacted to di
42、fferent types of stress with the same sound.BCut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than waterhungry ones.CCut tobacco plants seemed to make lower sounds than droughtstressed ones.DTobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water.C细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Waterhungry to
43、bacco plants appeared to make louder sounds than cut tobacco plants,for example.”可知,缺水的烟草似乎比切断的烟草发出的声音更响亮。故选C。13Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?AThe potential applications of the research.BChallenges facing farmers in the future.CFarmers contributions to the research.DThe future development of ag
44、riculture.A段落大意题。根据文章第四段内容可知,本段在讲述这种研究发现对于农业的潜在应用。故选A。14What does the underlined word “speculative” in the last paragraph probably mean?APractical.BSurprising.CUnsupported.DComplicated.C词义猜测题。根据后文“After all,there are already plenty of explanations for why insects avoid some plants and not others.( 毕
45、竟,对于昆虫为什么避开某些植物而不避开其他植物,已经有很多解释了。)”可知,已有其他研究解释飞蛾不选择缺水植物的原因,因此飞蛾可能在听植物的声音的推断是不受支持的。因此speculative 与unsupported(不受支持的)表达含义一致。故选C。15What may be the best title for the text?ASilent ScreamBMysteries of NatureCInner VoicesDA Yettobepublished StudyA标题归纳题。文章主要讲述植物在不同压力下能发出不同频率的声音,而这是人类无法用耳朵听到的。选项A“无声的尖叫”概括了本
