Sometimes, the dead ant gets moved away very soon within an hour of dying. This behavior is interesting to scientists, who
18、 wonder how ants know for sure and so soon that another ant is dead.One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. Dong Hwan Choe is a biologist. Choe found that Argentine ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “Im dead take me away.”
19、But theres a twist to Choes discovery. Choe says that the living ants not just the dead ones have this death chemical. In other words, while an ant crawls around, perhaps in a picnic or home, its telling other ants that its dead.What keeps ants from dragging away the living ants? Choe found that Arg
20、entine ants have two additional chemicals on their bodies, and these tell nearby ants something like, “Wait Im not dead yet.”So Choes research turned up two sets of chemical signals in ants: one says, “Im dead.” the other set says, “Wait I m not dead yet.”Other scientists have tried to figure out ho
21、w ants know when another ant is dead. If an ant is knocked unconscious, for example, other ants leave it alone until it wakes up. That means ants know that unmoving ants can still be alive. Many scientists think there must be a chemical on a dead ants body.Choe suspects that when an Argentine ant di
22、es, the chemical that says “Wait Im not dead yet” quickly goes away. Once that chemical is gone, only the one that says “Im dead” is left. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they drag away the body.Understanding this behavior may help scientists figure ou
23、t how to stop Argentine ants from invading new places and causing problems. Choe would like to find a way to use the newly discovered chemicals to spread ant killer to Argentine ant nests.The ants removal behavior is important to the overall health of the nest. “Being able to quickly remove dead ind
24、ividuals and other possible sources of disease is extremely important to all animals living in societies, including us，” says Choe. “Think about all the effort and money that we invest daily in waste management.”1.

B句意：虽然结果对我们来说不太重要，但如果真赢了，那就更好了。so much better 就更好了。2. A考查动词短语。根据语境可知选account for(解释，导致)。3. D考查定语从句。根据前面
42、的先行词可知此处表示地点，用in which，相当于where。4. C考查固定搭配。根据句意可知此处表示 “而不是” 之意，所以选rather than。as for和instead of搭配不对；other than除了。5. Dwhat if为固定用法，意为 “如果怎么办”。6. D考查动词的时态。从前面的Im late可知， “我的车在来时的路上抛锚” 的动作发生在 “过去”，因此，时态应该用一般过去时。7. B考查代词。语意：你可以拿蛋糕的任意半块，它们是一样的。据此可知用either表示 “两者中的任意一个”，所以选B项。8. C考查虚拟语气的用法。在此，recommend表 “建
43、议，劝告”，其后的宾语从句的谓语用 “should动词原形”，且should可以省略。9. C考查定语从句。which引导定语从句，修饰先行词way，而且which在从句中作uses的宾语。10. D考查时态。从Come on，Kitty可知，两个人从过去到现在一直在走，所以用现在完成进行时。11. C考查祈使句的反意疑问句。祈使句的反意疑问部分要用 “will you？”。12. B考查动词短语。protect sb. from sth.意为 “保护某人免受伤害”，而stop/prevent sb. from doing sth.意为 “阻止某人做某事”。故选B项。“阻止某人做某事” 有3种
44、表达：stop/prevent sb.(from)doing sth.，其中from可省；而keep sb. from doing sth.中的from不能省。protect sb. from sth.“保护某人免受伤害”。13. A考查定语从句。本句可改成陈述句：The school that/which the foreigners visited yesterday is large.故此处选that，引导定语从句。14. C考查非谓语动词。从by短语可知该空格处应为被动结构， “所写(科学)故事将被发表”，故用动词不定式的被动形式。15. A考查动名词的复合结构。marry sb.娶(
45、嫁)某人。这里是 “名词所有格动名词” 的复合结构在句中作主语。.A：本文作者记叙了自己的一次差点儿出了事故的跳伞经历。也许是因为没注意，作者的伞被卡住，气流把他吹向飞机的尾部，幸好上面还有除飞行员之外的其他人救了他，使作者脱离飞机，慢慢飞向地面。作者在总结时谈到，一步走错，就有可能丧命。1. B本句提到机场，下一句说到登机，可见是作者arrived “到达”机场。2. A一共是4个人高空跳伞。根据I should exit first可知是其余3个人follow “接着跳”。 escape“逃跑”。3. D根据上文的indicated获得信息。事后才知道这个decision “决定”救了“我
46、”一命。trouble“麻烦”；effort“努力”； chance“机会”。4. A作者另一只腿出来后，降落伞卡住了，但由于气流太强，作者sliding down“沿着飞机机身朝机尾滑去”。 knock over“撞击”； crash into “撞碎”；break down“崩溃”。5. B与后面的legs相对应。6. D作者一点都不慌，后面陈述了理由。calm “冷静的”符合题意。frightened“恐惧的”； anxious“紧张的”； excited“兴奋的”。7. D至此，作者得救了。下文中有作者挥手致意的描述。finally有历尽千辛万苦最后达到结果之意。其他几个选项没有这个意
47、义。really “真正地”；hopefully“有希望地”； certainly“肯定地”。8. D从此句起，作者就开始了大量的议论，进行了一系列的假设，说明当时的情况是非常严重，只要一步走错，他就没命了。serious“严重的”符合题意。 funny“好笑的”；ordinary“正常的”；clear“清楚的”。 9. A见上一题的解析。laugh“笑”；stop“停止”；return“返回”。10. C如果作者是最后一个出飞机的，当然飞机上就只剩下飞行员了。他一个人是不可能解救作者的。即使他知道“我”attached“附”在飞机之下，最后还是不得不找个地方降落。cover“覆盖”；adju
48、st“调整”；connect“连接”。11. C根据下文的joy可知答案。excitement“兴奋，刺激”； pride“骄傲，自豪”；confidence“信心”；willingness“愿意，意愿”。12. B但要experience“经历”这种快乐，就必须了解一出错，结果通常就只有一种。observe“观察”； imagine“想象”；discover“发现”。 B：1. However2. either3. for4. a5. between6. because7. that8. and. 1.A根据上下文逻辑，Choe的发现出人意料：活蚂蚁身上也有该信息。2C由death chem
49、ical可知应是气味。3C由倒数第二段第一句可知。4D由最后一段可知。5A文章大意是蚂蚁们如何判断一只蚂蚁是死或活。. One possible version：We all know the feeling of walking through life as if we are carrying the huge burden of our worries and stresses on our backs and shoulders. No matter how smart we are, how capable we are, or how hard we work, no one c
50、an cope with all the worries alone in the course of our lives. There is no real way to move freely in such a situation, and we are all longing to lay our burdens down.The human imagination is a powerful tool, and we can use it to take journeys to faraway places without leaving our home. Because of t
51、his, we too can lay our burdens down at the feet of a mountain.To begin with, sit with your eyes closed and see yourself carrying a large box, imagining that all your worries are inside it. Watch as you make your way to a mountain, and lay your bag down at its feet. Feel the lightness and relief of
52、this action and express your gratitude. You will be amazed by how this can liberate you from a burden you were never meant to carry.ving形式1. D句意：人学习语言是通过犯错误并更正错误实现的。填空部分是由and连接的，与making mistakes一起作介词by的宾语，其形式应与making一致。2. B句意：在做重大决定的时候，你若将其以情感为基础，而不是以合理推断为基础的话，你迟早会后悔的。base与you之间为主谓关系，用现在分词作状语。3. A固定
53、句型have difficulty / trouble (in) doing sth. 做方面有困难。4. C考查非谓语动词的用法。此处解题关键：havedoing sth.。5. A句意：报告于昨晚7点开始，报告之后便是用望远镜观察月球。start在此用作不及物动词，瞬间动词的现在分词作定语表完成意义或将来意义：现在分词的被动式(答案B)作定语只能表示正在进行的动作或和谓语动词同时进行的行为；不定式作定语表将来或含情态意义。6. A句意：我们排长队，等着商店开门，购买新上市的iPad。standing表示与谓语动作同时进行。7. Boffering在此作定语，修饰the official l
54、etter，letter与offer为主动关系。8. C此处winding its way作宾语补足语，表示主动进行。9. B句意：谈到教英语，我们的目标不是打基础。我们把基础教学留给别的学校。这是一个固定句型when it comes to sth., 句型中的to是一个介词。10. D句意：值得指出的是，许多香港人能很好地区分普通话和广东话。固定结构be worth doing sth. 主动表示被动。11. D句意：人人都可能自己受到过侮辱或在学校见到过侮辱的场景。此处动词的 ing形式作宾语补足语，尽管与宾语构成被动关系，但是happen是不及物动词。12. B句意：给予支持是年轻人努
55、力保证朋友的安全的一种武器。实际上working用作介词of的宾语，young people是其逻辑主语。13. B此题是固定用法，finish后只能接动词的 ing形式作宾语。14. A句意：头20年在中国，后20年在美国，她也许是其领域最佳的人选之一。完成式表示其动作发生在主句动作之前。15. A句意：这所学校接纳了来自56个国家的一千多名学生，给他们提供跨文化的体验。此处分词作状语，用在主句之后，表示目的。16. B此题容易误选A，认为 borrowed more money 与 solved the problem 为并列谓语。其实，根据上下文的语境，应选 B，即 borrowing
56、more money与 reducing the costs并列。句意为“我们靠减少费用和多借钱的办法解决了问题”。17. A此题很容易误选D，认为第一空应填 how，表示“如何”；第二空应填 interested，因为有的书上说ing形容词主要说明事物，ed 形容词主要说明人。18. C很多同学想当然地认为 insist 后接动词时要用动名词，从而误选B。其实动词insist后既不能接不定式也不能接动名词，因为insist 通常用作不及物动词；若语义上需接宾语，要借助介词on或upon，即用于insist on (upon) (doing) sth.；有时它也用作及物动词，但其宾语通常只能是
57、that从句，而不能是普通的名词、代词或动名词。19. B用作名词的 walk表示“散步”，是可数名词，指的是一次一次的具体的散步，而不表示抽象意义或泛指意义的“散步”，要表示此意，须用动名词 walking。20. D句意：Alex来这儿两年了，享受着交上了许多不同国家的朋友的快乐。这是一个习惯用法，enjoy后只能接动词的ing形式。21. C句意；然而，在国外学习并不是一帆风顺的。此处studying作主语。22. A句意：来北京之前，金是一个害羞的女孩，非常担心自己不那么流利的汉语。当从句的主语与主句的主语一致，且从句中含有be的某种形式时，从句的主语和be可以一起省略。23. C句意
58、：随着教育成本的增加，这种差距将越来越大。此处increasing作宾语补足语，与宾语比较是主动的。24. A句意：他觉得自己有点蠢，开始怀疑自己所做的一切，连家庭作业也不做了。此处give up doing sth.放弃做某事，是固定结构。25. B句意：当孩子取得进步时，别忘了去鼓励和欣赏。空格处所填的词不是与forget平行，而是与encouragement平行，作介词about的宾语。26. D句意：教会孩子们怎样用钱能让他们终生受益。名词way意为“方式，方法”时，后常接不定式或of doing sth.；意为“道路”时，后常接介词to再接宾语。此题中表示“在方面”。27. A句意：一个13岁的小男孩擦皮鞋筹款为母亲治病的故事感动了许多人。此处raising作定语，修饰前面的名词boy，构成主动关系。28. C句意：这个报告走访了两万五千名大学生，真实地反映了当前大学校园的心理状态。报告是主动地采访大学生，分词的完成式不作定语。29. A句意：他和女儿度过了一个甜美的父亲节，参观了一个革命圣地。此处paying表示“方式”。该动作不是发生在主句动作celebrated之前或之后。因此要用一般式。30. B句意：他考虑找到一种理想的练习汉语数字的方法。动词consider意为“考虑”时，后面只能接动词的ing形式作宾语。
