10、e herd for a fun ride as they were always under discipline (训导) from the elder ones. Both of them were caught after several hours of chasing and tied in different places as they were caught in different places. Both were shocked and sad and were refusing to touch any food including sugar cane for th
11、e entire day and night. I was feeling sorry for the young fellows as they had not touched their food for the whole day. I decided to shift them at the earliest convenience to the jungle where they could possibly return to the normal. I made my staff get ready by 3 am to start loading them into a lor
12、ry for transporting them. In the morning we brought Arjun the domestic elephant there and his master asked him to drag the two young fellows nearer to the lorry for boarding, but they refused to get dragged as they were not sure why they had been tied and dragged with so many people around them. I s
13、aw their eyes were filled with sadness.Our staff tried to push them using various means but they resisted hard. But Arjun was sympathetic towards the two young fellows and he went near them and gently touched them with his trunk and licked (舔) their genital parts and assured them of being calm. Magi
14、cally we saw how the young fellows who were in sad found hope.Soon both of them showed affection for each other through licking and touching each other through their trunks and tails. Then they were simply guided by Arjun towards the lorry like obedient students. That is how Arjun exhibited very str
15、ong passionate love and obeyed his masters order. 21Why did the two young elephants refuse to eat any food offered?ABecause they were dissatisfied with the food.BBecause they were fed well and not hungry at all.CBecause they were very physically tired after much running.DBecause they were unable to
16、fit in with the environment mentally.22What contributed to the young elephants boarding?AThe driving force from the staff.BArjuns patient comfort and love.CTheir appetite for delicious food.DTheir desire for unknown nature.23Which one can best describe the two young elephants change?AWild Sad Stubbo
17、rn Hopeful.BExcited Angry Happy Moved.CUpset Nervous Relaxed Pleased.DShocked Stressed Hungry Calm.B The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to the African ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its e
18、nvironment. As a big planteater, it largely shapes the forestandsavanna (稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting_the_terms of existence of millions of other animals that live in its habitat. It is the elephants great desire for food that makes it a changer of the environment and an i
19、mportant builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and undergrowth, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces both in deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the Africa
20、n savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other planteaters. Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling
21、down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed (有蹄的) planteaters to move around and for small planteaters to get their food as well. What worries scientists now is that the Af
22、rican elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of the forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.24What is the passage mainly about?ADisappearance of African elephants.BFo
23、rests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.CThe effect of African elephants on the ecosystem.DThe eating habit of African elephants.25What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?AFixing the time.BWorsening the state.CImproving the quality.DDeciding
24、 the conditions.26What can we know about the open spaces in the passage?AThey result from the destruction of rain forests.BThey are covered by few species of plants.CThey are home to many endangered animals.DThey are attractive to planteating animals of different kinds.27The passage is developed mai
25、nly by _.Ashowing the effect and then explaining the causesBpointing out similarities and differencesCdescribing the changes in space orderDgiving examples to explain the reasonsC Scientists investigated why the Ebola virus is so deadly when it spreads from animals to humans and then by humantohuman
26、 contact. The research team looked at the Zaire Ebola virus in an animal system to understand how it gained strength. This virus is responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. They found that initially (最初) the animal systems were not affected by the virus, but succeeding transmission (传播)
27、into other animals caused the virus to “hot up” and become more severe. The team analyzed the viruses at different stages and were able to identify several changes in its genetic material that were associated with increased disease. Professor Julian Hiscox, who led the study from Liverpool Universit
28、ys Institute of Infection and Global Health, explained, “The work tells us that the evolutionary goal of the Ebola virus is to become more fatal.” “We were able to show through genetic analysis which parts of the virus are involved in this process. The information we have gathered will allow us to m
29、onitor such changes in an outbreak as well as develop future treatment strategies.” Professor Roger Hewson, leading the study from Public Health England, Porton Down, said, “The Ebola virus is such a destructive infection to the people affected by the disease and the economy of West Africa.” “Our un
30、derstanding of the Ebola virus biology is way behind that of other viruses and our cooperation shows how we can get our specialists skills together to close this knowledge gap.” Professor Miles Carroll, a coauthor of the work, said, “This study has allowed the team to be at the forefront of developi
31、ng methodologies to analyze patient samples recently taken by the European Mobile Laboratory from West Africa to understand disease evolution during the current outbreak.”28What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?AHow severe the Ebola virus is.BHow the Ebola virus spreads.CHow the Ebola virus g

33、s is more advanced than that on other viruses.DThe scientists have a negative attitude to the research on the Ebola virus.30The underlined word “fatal” has the closest meaning to _.Aoptimistic BdeadlyCcommon Dfantastic31Where can we probably read this passage?AIn a science report. BIn a storybook.CI
34、n an advertisement. DIn a textbook.D Scientists have long struggled with how to measure the effects of climate change on wildlife. This is especially true for birds flying in and out of coastal areas bordering the Arctic Ocean. In the past, researchers depended mainly on information gathered by sate
35、llite to follow the movement of birds and animals. But this method can be costly and result in huge amounts of information, which can be difficult to process. Now scientists are turning to another kind of technology to help them follow birds and other wildlife. Songbirds are especially difficult to
36、study in the wild. They can fly across thousands of kilometers and their bodies are too small for electronic tracking equipment. A new report tells about a project in which researchers recorded songbirds and then put the sounds into a computer program to be studied. Birds are known to make more sing
37、ing noises after arriving in areas where they plan to mate. Spring is short in extreme northern areas of the American state of Alaska. There, the birds must mate and have their young before winter. A algorithm (计算程序) is designed to use the recordings to predict when the birds arrive in large groups
38、to begin mating. While some results were produced completely by machine, human supervision (监督) helped to improve the process. In both cases, the researchers reported the computer was correct in predicting when the birds arrived to their breeding grounds. In another study, researchers reported how m
39、achine learning methods can be used to identify, count and describe animals in the wild. Researchers created a machine learning system that they say uses artificial intelligence or AI to identify, count, and describe the behavior of 48 animal species. They said their method can correctly identify an
40、imals at a rate of 94 percent. The scientists said results showed AI can be used as an effective way to gather “a wealth of information” on huge numbers of animals in the wild. They say the new method will save time and costs, and can even operate in realtime.32Why are songbirds especially difficult
41、 to study in the wild?ABecause they fly too fast.BBecause of the climate change.CBecause there are too much information.DBecause of the long flying distance and their small bodies.33To track songbirds, what does the first study focus on?ATheir destination. BTheir sounds.CTheir young babies. DTheir m
42、ovement.34What are the advantage of using the machine learning system to follow birds and other wildlife?AIt can provide too much information to deal with.BIt can save time and money.CIt doesnt need humans to attend in the process.DIt can identify animals in the wild at a rate of 100 percent.35Whats
43、 the main idea of the passage?ANew technology used to track wildlife.BHow to protect animals in the wild.CHow to track birds by satellite.DNew progress on artificial intelligence.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。My aunt got sick after her only son died.
