To get to the other side. Most people know this joke. But recently
29、, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road. Millions of animals die each year on US roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat exist in the US today. The main reason? Road k
30、ill. “Ecopassages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts, said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society.But do animals actually use the ecopassa
31、ges? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage. Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and
32、 around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around.You might see an animal overpass!51. The writer uses the example of o

37、When Flora Kahlos paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as a ribbon (丝带) around a bomb. Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time. Born in 1907 in a vil
38、lage near Mexico City, Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症 )at the age of seven. Her spine(脊柱) became bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the t
39、errible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint. In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Riveras strong influences on Kahlos style can be seen in her early works, but her
40、later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband. Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her deat
41、h in 1954, Kahlos works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.55. What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?A. a far better artistB a much more famous person C. a much stronger personD. a far mor

43、used by _.A. back injuries B. her bent spineC. polio D. the operations she had【答案】A【解析】第二段的第三局提到“在1925年，她的背部在一次校车事故中几处断裂。在她的后半生，她接受了很多手术，但是都不能治愈她背部的疼痛。”可知答案选A。57. Kahlos style had become increasingly independent since the _.A. 1930s B. 1970s C. 1950s D. 1940s【答案】D【解析】倒数第二段最后一句“。但是她被认为最好的作品是20世纪40年代以
44、后的作品，展示出她丈夫对她较少的影响。”58. What is authors attitude toward Kahlo?A. Devotion B. Encouragement C. Ironic D. Sympathy【答案】D【解析】从文章最后一段可知.Kahlo在她那个年代并没有被认可。C In the 1960s Walt Disney pictured in the mind a future utopian city with underground roads and a climate-controlled round roof. The real community of
45、 Celebration, Florida, built in 1999, applies the social and environmental goals of both Disney and the New Urbanism movement.Disney and the New Urbanism have imagined communities that promote social and local communication.

Downtown events like arts festivals also bring citizens together. Narrow, tree-lined streets are traffic calmwith slower speed limitsto encourage bicycling and walkin
47、g. Moreover, housing in Celebration includes both single- and multi-family houses that encourages socialization. Apartment buildings are located close to downtown, and houses are built close together with small yards. They feature entrance halls to encourage citizens to socialize. Many aspects of th
48、at kind of design are really aimed at maximizing social communication between citizens, not just on the streets but also in community institutions that are very much a part of public life there, says Andrew Ross, a New York University professor who lived in Celebration for one year. Utopian communit
49、ies such as Celebration are also designed with environmental protection in mind. The town itself is built on 4,900 acres surrounded by a 4,700 acre protected greenbelt. The greenbelt parks, and common areas accommodate native wildlife and animals. High-rise office and apartment buildings provide clo
50、se office and living space in a small geographic area in order to reduce urban sprawl, the spread of todays cities onto nature areas.Buildings also minimize environmental influence by using cooling; and electric systems with insulated (绝缘的;隔热的) glass, cooling towers, and energy-saving lamps. The tow

66、us situations. Our brains are better at picking up not obvious warning signs than we previously thought, said Joshua Brown, PhD, a research associate in psychology in the Feb. 18 issue of the journal Science. The findings offer exact scientific evidence for a new way to form a concept of the complex
67、 control processes taking place in and around the ACC, a brain area located near the top of the frontal lobes(耳垂) and along the walls that divide the left and right hemispheres(大脑半球). In the past, we found activity in the ACC when people had to make a difficult decision, or after they make a mistake
68、, Brown said. But now we find that this brain area can actually learn to recognize when you might make a mistake, even before a difficult decision has to be made. So the ACC appears to act as an early warning system it learns to warn us in advance when our behavior might lead to a negative outcome,
69、so that we can be more careful and avoid making a mistake. By providing a clearer picture of the cognitive mechanisms(认知结构) by which we self monitor and control our behavior, the study is an important step in efforts to develop more effective treatments for mental illnesses. It also provides a new w
70、ay of understanding inappropriate behaviors that often accompany mental illnesses. Our results suggest how injury of the ACC mechanisms can lead to breakdowns in the early warning system, so that the brain fails to stop or control inappropriate behavior ahead of time, said Brown. On the other hand,
71、in those persons with mental disorder, the ACC might warn of an upcoming problem even when no problem is in the existence. Known to be an important part of the brains control system, the ACC is believed to help adjust between cold, hard, fact-based reasoning and emotional responses, such as love, fe
72、ar or expectation.68. According to the passage, the ACC_.A. refers to the sixth sense for danger B. deals with obvious warning situationsC. connects the left and right hemispheres D. sends warning messages in advance【答案】D【解析】根据第四段可知。69. The new research is beneficial because it _ .A. provides a new
73、way of avoiding mistakesB. adjusts emotional responses in time of dangerC. helps find better treatments for mental illnessesD. assists people in predicting and avoiding danger【答案】C【解析】根据第五段the study is an important step in efforts to develop more effective treatments for mental illnesses 在人们努力开发新的治疗
74、精神疾病的方法上这个研究迈出了重要的一步。70. The new research helps us understand _.A. why we are likely to make mistakes when the ACC is badly injuredB. why people with mental illnesses usually have so many strange behaviorsC. how the ACC works when something dangerous happensD. how our brain warns us of failure in ad
75、vance【答案】A【解析】根据倒数第二段可知。结果表明ACC机制受伤可以导致早期预警系统出故障，因此大脑不能够提前停止或控制不切当的行为。第四部分：书面表达 (共两节，满分50分)第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上。71With students too much homework, some educators appealed to the public to pay more attention to their physical health.
