At least for the female mosquitoes that need those nutrients to nurture their developing eggs. Not only do they ha
26、ve to find a suitable blood donor, but once theyve had their fill, they have to be able to escape undetected. How they handle this secret departure skillfully has just been revealed in the “Journal of Experimental Biology”.Feasting (饱餐) on an unsuspecting mammal can double a mosquitos body mass. So
27、how does a fully loaded female leave the hosts skin without triggering its pressure sensors and bringing on that fateful slap? To find out, Florian Muijres of Wageningen University in The Netherlands and his colleagues used cameras that record 13,500 frames per second to capture the takeoff maneuver
28、s of 63 blood-fed malarial mosquitoes.What they discovered is, when it comes to a soft yet speedy getaway.for female mosquitoes, the wings the thing. With a wingbeat frequency of about600 beats per second.the insects are able to lift themselves lightly off their host.That approach is the opposite of
29、 the one favored by most other winged things,says Muijres.“When most flying animals take off, like birds or flies, they first use their legs to push off very hard, and then when they are in the air, then they start beating their wings and generate aerodynamic lift (气动升力) to be able to fly away. Mosq
30、uitoes do it the other way around. They first start beating their wings and through the aerodynamic forces these wings generate, their body is being lifted off. And then they do gently push down with their long legs to be able to further power their liftoff. But these forces that are being generated
31、 by the legs are relatively small.”In fact, the faint flutter of a mosquitos wings produces less than one third of the force used by similar-sized fruit flies as they leave to find another banana. “Even on a full stomach, these bloodsuckers takeoff process takes only about30 milliseconds, which is 1
32、0 times faster than how fast we can blink our eyes,” says Muijres. Theyre gone before we know what hit us and before we can hit them.51. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How mosquitoes get nutrients for their developing eggs. B. How mosquitoes can find their suitable blood donors.C. How mo
33、squitoes escape undetected after sucking blood. D. How the female mosquitoes find their perfect partners.52. What plays the most important part in helping mosquitoes escape?A. Their legs.B. Their ears.C. Their mouths.D. Their wings.53. Mosquitoes takeoff approach is different from that of most other
34、 winged insects in that _.A. mosquitoes are lighter than themB. mosquitoes are keen on sucking bloodC. mosquitoes take off first with wings and then legsD. mosquitoes take off through the aerodynamic forces54. From what Muijres said, we know that mosquitoes escape speed is _.A. extremely fastB. equa
35、l to that of our blinkC. faster than that of fruit fliesD. greatly affected by their full stomachBFrans husband Tom had a habit of throwing his dirty socks into the laundry basket, but frequently missing by a few inches. It really frustrated Fran when she had to pick up his socks and place them in t
36、he basket. After learning the techniques of behavior modification(矫正), Fran decided to stop nagging(唠叨) her husband and try positive reinforcement(加强). When he missed the basket, shesaid nothing and quietly picked up his socks. However, one day when his socks actually landed in the target, she quick
37、ly reinforced the appropriate behavior by saying, “I really like it when you put your socks right inside the basket.” She followed this statement with a hug. Within a week, Tom was hitting the target every time, or picking up the socks by hand and placing them inside the basket whenever he missed. C
38、onsequently, an argument was avoided.There is an old saying that “you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar”, which is the principle behind behavior modification. Complaining to someone of doing something, whether its a partner or a child, often gets just the opposite response resistance. But
39、 almost everyone respond to positive reinforcement and this approach to changing someones behavior takes a little patience and emotional control.Experts of behavior modification believe habits are learned because of reinforcement from the environment. This theory states that people will always do th
40、e behavior that results in the most favorable outcome. Even if in the doing,there are some negative effects. For instance, Fran may have learned that it really didnt matter whether her husbands socks landed in the basket or not. It isbecause shed come along and pick them up for him. That was the fav
41、orableoutcome but, if he only got negative messages from Fran for the same behavior, he didnt have much motivation to abandon it.Of course for some people nothing will work, but its sure worth a try, because all of us resist criticism and respond to praise. Treating them with a hostile attitude prob
42、ably wont get you what you want, but it will get you a bad relationship with them. So, the next time you want someone to meet your wishes, try a little applause for the desired behavior.55. Why does the author present Tom and Frans story at the beginning of the passage?A. To show Tom is one of those
43、 needing behavior modification. B. To introduce the techniques of behavior modification.C. To let the readers know this family. D. To list ways to get rid of bad habits.56. Which of the following best fits the principle behind behavior modification?A. Leaving a child alone when he or she does someth
44、ing wrong. B. Telling a child not to make the same mistakes again.C. Taking no notice of ones occasional good behavior. D. Praising one for his or her good deeds.57. Which statement about a habit may the author agree with?A. Criticism contributes a lot to the formation of a bad habit. B. Most of our
45、 habits are formed in childhood.C. A habit is usually reinforced by favorable outcome.D. We can always get along with a person of good habits.58. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Positive reinforcement should be applied to anyone. B. Positive reinforcement works on anyone.C. By using positive r
46、einforcement we dont fail to get what we want.D. By using positive reinforcement we can improve our relationship with anyone else.59. The purpose of the passage is to tell us _.A. what behavior modification isB. the way to get along with othersC. how to bring out the best in othersD. the training of
47、 behavior modificationCSurrounded by BrothersI know it is wrong to envy your children. But when I see my son, Tonio and his younger brother Sam going down a slide together, ones arm around the other, I know I have missed something wonderful.Not only did I never have a brother, but also I had no frie
48、ndships like theirs. My sister was old enough to help take care of me, so she was more a mother than a playmate, and I was more a pest than a friend. A brother would have been wonderful, but it was not in the family planning.Now I finally live with brothers, my sons, Tonio and Sam. I am watching the
49、m build the kind of relationship that I once dreamed about. They go to bed together. When one comes into our bed after a nightmare, my wife and I know that before morning his brother will follow.Sam manages the world with more ease than his elder brother, whose frustrations often bring him to tears.
50、 With a sincere “Smile, Tonio,” Sam is the one who comforts him. Tonio, on the other hand, has stopped playing with boysat his age who dont like playing with Sam. They are always backing each otherup.I dont know what kind of relationship they will have when they grow up. Parents always want their ch
51、ildren to have what they never could. I want them to have each other. So I imagine them going to the same college, marrying sisters and living on the same block.Thats why I was so worried the day Tonio started kindergarten. I felt that I would lose something too. As we headed for school that morning
52、, both boys seemed relaxed, as if neither had any idea that the day was going to be different, that starting then, Tonio would be leaving behind his brother, his best friend, his right arm.Tonios first day was chaotic, with hundreds of children outside looking for their teachers. Before any of us co
53、uld say goodbye, Tonio disappeared with his new classmates. He turned to wave and then was gone. It was so sudden. Sam even didnt see him go. Although parents had been asked to ease the craziness of the first day by staying out of the school, I lifted Sam up and took him to Tonios classroom, looking
54、 for a glimpse of Tonio. Sam spotted him first.My wife and I didnt head back home immediately, stopping instead at a coffee shop to treat Sam to hot chocolate. We even let him eat ice-cream with his fingers. Sam was still quiet, so I asked him if he missed his brother already.He didnt answer. Instea
55、d he asked, “Daddy, is Tonio going to be gone forever?”“No, Sammy,” I said, feeling happy about his sweet question. “Not forever, just until three oclock.”I sometimes think that the greatest thing I have ever done is to help create these brothers. And I didnt stop with them. We had another child, an
56、d for the third time in a row, it was a boy. It wasnt long before his brothers climbed into the crib(婴儿床) to play with him. I am surrounded by brothers.60. What makes the author envy his sons?A. He has no friends like Sam and Tonio. B. He has only one brother in his family.C. He doesnt enjoy brother
57、hood as they do.D. He doesnt have a good relation with his sister.61. What does the underlined word “pest” in paragraph 2 mean?A. a bad personB. a lovely brotherC. a good companionD. an annoying person62. What can we learn about the two little brothers?A. They supported each other in different ways.
58、B. The two brothers went to the same kindergarten.C. Neither of the brothers played with other children.D. Tonio often encouraged Sam when Sam burst into tears.63. The author was worried the day Tonio started his kindergarten, because .A. Tonio might not do well with his studyB. he was afraid he wou
59、ld lose Tonio foreverC. he wanted Tonio to have what he didnt haveD. Tonio might not spend so much time with Sam64. On the first day of the kindergarten, .A. Sam was very sad because Tonio was gone foreverB. Tonio had a nice day playing with his new classmatesC. the father felt happy when he sensed
60、Sams love to TonioD. Sam was allowed to have ice-cream with fingers as usual65. What does the title “Surrounded by Brothers” suggest?A. The author often plays with his sons whenever he has time.B. The author experienced brotherly affection by raising his sons. C. The youngest son is always surrounde
61、d by his elder brothers. D. Parents want their children to stay at home and play together.DMost of us still have lots of photographs sitting around from the days when we used cameras, not telephones, to take pictures. There are probably many photos that we do not look at and may never see again. But
62、 these images, representing memories from our past, do not have to be lost. Google has created a tool to help bring these forgotten pictures back to life in very high quality.The PhotoScan app works the same as an image scanner (扫描仪). But this software program uses the camera on your phone to captur
63、e images as digital copies, which is a quick and easy way to save old photos without having to spend money on new equipment. The PhotoScan app uses new technology to improve the capturing process, which makes it possible to take a picture of a photo with a camera phone, without glare, a common probl
64、em.After opening the app, the user first puts the desired photo within the cameras frame. When this is done, four small circles appear in different places over the photo. The user then moves the phone over each of the circles, which change color after the process completes. Thats it! The app finds t
65、he edges of the photo, straightens the image, and puts it in the right position while removing glare. From this point, the pictures can easily be saved to the Google Photos app or somewhere else. If you do have Google Photos, images are organized by face or place and can easily be found.The release
66、of PhotoScan came at the same time as some changes to theGoogle Photos app. One change is an improved auto tool that Google says creates high-quality effects in just one step. Another tool lets users choose from12 different looks to improve overall photo quality. The third provides high-level contro
67、ls for changing light and colors.Anil Sabharwal, the Vice President of Google Photos, explained why he created PhotoScan. In 1947, his parents lived under British colonial rule in India and were ordered to leave their home with only a few belongings. They decided to leave behind jewelry and other va
68、luables, but gathered up as many photos as they could take.66. What can we know about the PhotoScan app?A. It is new equipment used to scan images.B. It can adjust the angle of cameras by moving four small circles. C. Users can use it to take digital photos.D. Using it to photograph pictures wont ha

What is the advantage of Google Photos according to the passage?A. It provides various styles that users can
70、 select from to improve the apps.B. Users can easily find the desired picture through the photographing place. C. The changed storage space is bigger than before.D. It stores most pictures captured by PhotoScan.69. What can we infer about Anil Sabharwal from the last paragraph?A. He got the idea for
71、 PhotoScan from his familys experiences.B. His parents helped him a lot while in India.C. British colonial rule forced him to make PhotoScan.D. His familys poverty promoted him to create PhotoScan.70. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. persuade us to use the PhotoScan appB. tell us a new Google a

73、e not only in sports but also in academic subjects. The pressure of trying to get excellent grades while joining in extra-curricular activities could be great. Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was home my time was spent doinghomework. Some days I was so busy finishing a project tha
74、t I could hardly see my families.I have a younger sister named Sally. She was nine years old. We used to see each other, but after I graduated from the primary school she attended, I saw her less and less.Then one day I came home to an empty house and I found a note from my mom saying my sister was
75、at her friends and would be dropped off.At five oclock I saw my sister walking towards the door with her friend and her friends father. I heard them talking. “Is anyone at home?” the father asked.“Just my mean elder sister, Sara, and shes probably in her room as usual,”my sister replied. I couldnt b
76、elieve it. I didnt even know who this man was andmy sister was making me sound like one of Cinderellas wicked stepsisters. Iopened the door, thanked the father for bringing her home, then shut the door and started to cry.To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my
77、 sister to her room. But I realized that what was worse than the fight was that I really hadnt been a good elder sister.I had lost track of what was important, and what really mattered. I had fallen into a whirlpool(漩涡) of pressure and competition, and it took my sisters honest observation to show m
78、e that the grades I got didnt matter to everyone- certainly not to her. All that matters to her is that Im her elder sister, and thats what matters to me, too.71.
