But there could be a simple and relatively safe way to stop them in their tracks，by employing the
17、 talents of the tiny African honeybees.The number of elephants in Kenya has risen over the past ten years，with some disastrous results. Not only do these huge animals attack local farms，but they step someone to death an average of once every two weeks. Now a biologist has discovered a possible threa
18、t：the elephants are extremely aware of trees that house honeybee hives “I am puzzled why nobody has thought of this before，”says Fritz Vollrath at the University of Oxford. “When an elephant knocks a beehive he runs and the bees will follow him for miles. ”He says that placing hives of the honeybees
19、 around local farms and fragile habitats could be an effective way to threaten the animals.Volirath put 30 unoccupied and 6 occupied beehives in some of the trees growing on a bush frequently damaged by elephants on Laikipia Plateau in Kenya. On average the elephants attacked 9 out of 10 trees that
20、didnt have hives，severely damaging a quarter. But they steered clear of all six trees with occupied hives. The elephants also left alone one-third of the trees with empty hives，suggesting that some had learnt not to take the risk.The bees threaten elephants by stinging vulnerable（易受伤）areas such as t
21、he eyes, belly, behind the ears and under the trunk. People could be at risk from the bees，admits Volirath，but that may be outweighed by the risk of being killed by an elephant. Another experiment by Volirath shows that elephants also avoid the sound of angry bees played from a loudspeaker.41. What
22、harm do the wild elephants in Africa do? A. Killing local people. B. Damaging beehives. C. Threatening animals. D. Destroying villages.42. What can we learn from the underlined sentence? A. They ran away from the trees with empty hives on it. B. They tried not to touch the trees with hives full of b
23、ees. C. They kept a distance from all the trees with hives on them. D. They were clear that all the six trees were occupied by hives.43. Whats Voliraths another experiment on this elephants case? A. Let bees attack and kill elephants one by one. B. Encourage bees to sting elephants eyes and ears. C.
24、 Use the bees sound to drive elephants away. D. Employ tiny African honeybees to threaten elephants.44. From the passage we can conclude that .A. there is always one thing to beat another B. little bees can kill big and wild elephantsC. serious problems often come up in Africa D. elephants enjoy att
25、acking people and farmsBBEUING (Associated Press ) China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy. While China may be the worlds biggest toy-maker, many of the best are exported . Department stores he
26、re do not have enough high quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China. BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals. People who join the companys mother club can get
27、 lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the companys educational toys and child care books.We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people, said Matthew J. Estes, BabyCares president. It starts during pregnan
28、cy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest. BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explain toys that are designed for children at each stage of development to age six.BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping c
29、enter in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years. It is a new model for China and develops a market in young childrens education and health that no other companies are in.45. What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?A. Educational toy
30、s and foreign toy markets. B. Problems with Chinas toy market and education. C. Reasons for pushing sales of educational toys in China. D.

33、ummer Bohmte, Germany, reworked its downtown main street, not only removing the traffic lights but also tearing down the curbs (路缘) and erasing marked crosswalks. The busiest part of the street turned into a square shared equally by bikes, pedestrians (步行者), cars, and trucks. Now，there is only one r
34、ule: Always give way to the person on the right. The bonus? The whole town has become more human. We look at each other, and we greet each other, says a citizen named Ulrike Republic.Mayor Mans Goedejohann knew that the heavy traffic spoilt Bohmtes atmosphere and endangered the safety of its residen
35、ts. But the town cannot forbid truck traffic because its main street is a state highway. Then he heard of a radical (激进的 ) traffic-management theory called shared space. Pioneered by a Dutch engineer who thought towns were safer with fewer rules, it envisioned (设想) open surfaces on which motorists a
36、nd pedestrians could communicate with one another by eye contact, other signals, and a greater consideration for one another.Separating cars firom pedestrians was wrong, argued the Dutch engineer called Hans Monderman, whose death this winter aroused peoples interest in his ideas once again. Portray
37、ed as a dangerous maverick decades ago, Monderman put in place more than 100 shared-space programs in the Netherlands. When the European Union started a research project on shared space, Bohmte decided to try it, along with six other towns, including Ostend in Belgium and Ipswich in England. Not eve
38、rybody feels good about the town having spent close to $.3.3 million on redesigning its downtown. In theory shared space is more human, but were left out, says Mr. Breiner, a sight-impaired (有视力障碍的) man who cannot make eye contact with drivers. Many people also worry that the child and elderly will
39、not be able to communicate with drivers.Still, a 2022 study in Holland reported that shared space has reduced the number of accidents in sign-free areas. And Mayor Goedejohann is confident. His town averaged 50 accidents last year. Since the shared space concept was enacted (通过), there havent been a
40、ny, he says.49. According to Paragraph 1, after Bohmte took down its traffic lights,_A. there are fewer people walking in the streetB. theme is much less traffic through the townC. people be come more friendly to one anotherD. people can travel faster than before50. Who is the founder of the theory
41、of shared space?A. Ulrike Rubcic B. Klaus Goedejohann. C. Mr. Breiner. D. Hans Monderman. 51. The underlined word maverick in Paragraph 3 probably means_ A. someone who has no importance or powerB. someone who always follows rules and regulationC. a bad person who brings disaster to the worldD. an u
42、nusual person who has different ideas52. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. People show more interest in Mondermans shared space.B. Bohmte removes lights and signs and sees accident rates decline.C. Communication between pedestrians and drivers is important.D. Mme
43、 European countries plan to design shared space streets.DWhat do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out? A dentist may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first in the meantime. You have to store the tooth so that it will stay
44、 healthy.The simplest thing to do is to put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk. Frond Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safe way of keeping knocked-out teeth. He tried putting teeth in the open air. He used teeth that h
45、ad to be removed from peoples mouths for various reasons. The teeth were put into one of the solutions（溶液）or stored in the air for one hour. Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped off the teeth. Dr Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were.The cell-culture medium wo
46、rked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth. However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school. The next best thing was milk. But Dr Courts said that the best things of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket（牙槽）in the mouth. For some
47、 people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting. So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth) to a dentist.53. This passage is mainly about _.A. how a dentist can save a knocked-out toothB. how to keep a knocked-out tooth healthyC. how Dr Courts and other researchers made their
48、experimentsD. how to put a knocked-out tooth back into its socket54. The best way to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth is to store it _.A. in cell-culture medium B. in milkC. in water D. in the open air55. Milk can be used instead of cell-culture medium to put a knocked-out tooth in
49、 because _.A. milk works better to keep the tooth healthy B. milk causes less painC. cell-culture medium is not usually handyD. cell-culture medium is more expensive56. “Dr Courts said that the best of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket in the mouth.” In the sentence, th
50、e word best means _.A. cheapest and healthiest B. least painful and cheapestC. quickest and least painful D. easiest and healthiestEA university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent” woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of （证明有罪）shoplifting for the second time in

Everybody has his own ideas on beauty.Some students think that a good face is a
75、letter of recommendation. Good appearance often makes a big difference in social communication, competition, finding jobs and so on. Not only can it help you become more confident, but also it helps you be impressed. Physical beauty is likely to draw much attention.On the contrary, other students ha
76、ve quite different opinions. They hold the idea that good appearance will be of no value. Inner beauty is more important. A beautiful person is not the one with a good looking, but with a broad and kind heart.In my opinion, the different ideas on beauty above are both acceptable although the criteria of beauty change with different time, societies, and cultures. 本资料由七彩教育网 提供！14 / 14
