43、 and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water.“He was cold; he would shake,” said Pam Schaller, a senior biologist.

51、turber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat.

70、ry ( 大脑的工作记忆)-the brains temporary storage box-may explain, new research suggests, why one child cannot read his or her history book and another gets lost in math. As many as 10 percent of school-age children may suffer from poor working memory. British researchers said in a report last week, yet th
71、e problem is rarely identified.“You can think of working memory as a pure measure of your childs potential. Many psychologists consider working memory to be the new IQ (智商), because we find that working memory is one of the most important predictors (预示物) of learning ability,” said Dr. Tracey Allowa
72、y of Britains Durham University.Many children with poor working memory are considered lazy or dull. Working memory allows people to hold in their minds and deal with a few items, such as telephone numbers, over a short period of time. Alloway compares working memory to a box. For adults, the basic b
73、ox size is thought to be three to five items. Its important, therefore, to put in the right things. Irrelevant (不相关的) information will clutter working memory.The question many researchers are struggling with is how to help children with this problem, which appears to be closely, related to a lack of
74、 attention.“In children with learning difficulties, it becomes a huge issue, especially around middle school, when the demands on working memory really grow,” said Dr. Mel Levine, co-founder of All Kinds of Minds, a nonprofit organization in North Carolina that studies learning difficulties.Memory t

Alloway has a tool that allows teachers to assess(评定) the workingmemory capacity of children as young as 4; it has been used in 35 schools across Britain.Levines organization trains teachers through a program called Schools Attuned, which is working with seve

103、 as telephones. Subterranean insects issue chemical warning signals through the leaves of the plant.This way, aboveground insects are warned that the plant is already “occupied”. Aboveground, leaf-eating insects prefer plants that have not yet been occupied by subterranean root-eating insects. Subte
104、rranean insects send out chemical signals through the leaves of the plant, which warn the aboveground insects about their presence. This messaging makes it possible for spatially-separated insects to avoid each other, so that they do not compete for the same plant. In recent years it has been discov
105、ered that different types of aboveground insects develop slowly if they feed on plants that also have subterranean insects and vice versa (反之亦然). It seems that a mechanism (机制) has developed through natural selection, which helps the subterranean and aboveground insects to communicate with each othe
106、r.This avoids unnecessary competition. Through the “green telephone lines”, subterranean insects can also communicate with a third party, namely the natural enemy of caterpillars (毛虫). Parasitic wasps (寄生蜂) lay their eggs inside aboveground insects. The wasps also benefit from the signals sent by th
107、e leaves, as these help them find more insects for their eggs.The communication between subterranean and aboveground insects has only been studied in a few systems. It is still not clear how widespread this phenomenon is, say the researchers.1. How do subterranean and aboveground insects communicate
108、 with each other?A. By sending signals through the leaves.B. By giving off particular smells.C. By making soft and beautiful sounds.D. By the signals sent by parasitic wasps.2. After finding a plant occupied by root-eating insects, aboveground insects will usually .A. send out warning signalsB. comp
109、ete for the same plantC. choose to leave the plantD. fight with the root-eating insects3. Aboveground insects will develop more quickly if their food plants .A. are often visited by parasitic waspsB. are not occupied by root-eating insectsC. have more green leavesD. have more subterranean insects4.
110、What does the underlined part“a third party”in the fourth paragraph include?A. Aboveground insects.B. Root-eating insects.C. Caterpillars.D. Parasitic wasps.5.

111、lants as telephones.D. When plants have subterranean residents.1. 解析:选C。in which表达“in the play”的概念,意为“在剧中(扮演角色)”。其他选项介词均搭配错误。2. 解析:选A。考查with的复合结构。noise与go on之间呈主动关系,因此用“with+n.+doing”的形式。3. 解析:选A。cost在这里意为“消耗掉”。句意为:去年他粗心的驾驶让他失去了生命。4. 解析:选A。第一空使用被动语态表达被动含义,第二空用included作定语,放在所修饰词后面;如果用including,必须放在所修
112、饰词前面。故选A。5. 解析:选B。laid是lay的过去时,意为“摆放”,为及物动词。6. 解析:选A。句意为:即使科学家知道哪里发生风暴,风也会突然改变,把风暴带到别的方向。even if在这里引导让步状语从句。7. 解析:选D。I与后面的动词短语构成了定语从句,省略了who/whom。而come across意为“偶然遇到”。8. 解析:选C。句意为:这个组织急需要人手。be in need of意为“需要”。9. 解析:选A。sound在这里是连系动词,因此后面跟形容词作表语。10.解析:选D。otherwise在这里相当于if not,意为“否则”。. 完形填空1. 解析:选B。根据
113、第二段第一句话可知,答案选B。call for号召。2. 解析:选A。根据下文支持改革和持反对意见的人的观点及其原因可知答案。3. 解析:选C。根据常识可知,西方国家每次竞选,候选人及其支持者都会花大量的钱进行宣传。4. 解析:选B。候选人及其支持者花费如此多的钱就是为了竞争政府的某个职位。5. 解析:选A。raise money募集资金。竞选者要竞选成功,需要大量的资金用于宣传。因此竞选之前要想方设法募集资金。根据后一句中的“money raising events”也可得知答案。6. 解析:选D。候选人在募集资金的过程中会出现很多问题,出现问题时政府工作人员就要进行协调,他们可能因为解决这
114、些问题而无暇顾及自己的主要工作。attend负责,处理。7. 解析:选C。上文提到了改革的一个原因,本段是解释另一个原因。8. 解析:选C。own与control同义,意为“控制”。9. 解析:选C。case情况。本段解释的是一些人主张改革的原因,是担心候选人因为钱而受到某个组织的控制。他们之所以担心是因为有时候情况就是这样。10. 解析:选A。上文所列举的是一些人主张改革的原因。本句起承上启下的作用,引出站在另一方立场上的人的观点及其原因。11. 解析:选B。句意为:你称呼某些东西为改革,而改革未必就是更好的。12. 解析:选A。如果政府能限制人对外界进行宣传,那么人的言论自由权就变的名存实
115、亡,毫无意义了。13. 解析:选D。联系上文及常识可知,如果要想竞选成功,候选人或某个组织必须对公众进行宣传,获得群众的支持和选票。14. 解析:选D。结合句意及常识可知,要想宣传自己的观点或看法,必须在媒体上大肆宣传,而宣传的主要途径就是广告。15. 解析:选D。要想在媒体上宣传,必须做大量的广告,而广告势必需要大量的资金做后盾。16. 解析:选C。根据第四段最后一句话可得知答案。17. 解析:选B。本篇介绍的是关于候选人所用奖金的改革问题,都是关于政治方面的问题。反对人士认为政府不能限制人的言论自由,不能限制人们在政治方面的谈论自由。18. 解析:选D。本句与上一句为递进关系。句意为:政府
116、更不能干涉人们决定赞成哪位候选人。19. 解析:选C。本句为本段的总结句,与第一段首句相对应。20. 解析:选B。make sense有意义,有道理。. 阅读理解1. 解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Subterranean insects issue chemical warning signals through the leaves of the plant”可知,地下昆虫能通过植物的叶子发出一种化学物质,作为信号对地上昆虫进行警告。故选A。 2. 解析:选C。细节推理题。第二段第一句“Aboveground, leafeating insects . rooteating i
117、nsects”提到,地上的昆虫更喜欢没有被地下昆虫占领的植物。联系本段最后一句“This messaging makes . for the same plant”可知,当地上昆虫发现植物已经被地下昆虫占领时,它们通常会选择离开。3. 解析:选B。细节推断题。根据第三段第一句“In recent years it . and vice versa”可知,如果植物没有被地下的食草昆虫占领,地上昆虫就繁殖得快些。句意为:近些年来的研究发现:如果地上昆虫赖以生存的植物被地下的食草昆虫占领,地上昆虫的繁殖速度就会减慢,反之亦然。4. 解析:选D。词义猜测题。第四段第一句中的“namely the na
118、tural enemy of caterpillars”意为“也就是毛虫的天敌”。a third party这里包含寄生蜂。5. 解析:选C。标题归纳题。C项的内容形象地表现出了昆虫间交流的独特方式,其根据在第一段第一句“. insects can communicate with each other by using plants as telephones”。Unit 5 Travelling abroad. 单词拼写1.
