13.Animal moms are great moms.You might be surprised at some of these moms.
Octopuses(章魚)
The mother octopus lays about 50,000 eggs.For about 300 days,she stays with the eggs,cleans them and protects them.She does not leave to feed.However,this animal mom dies as soon as the eggs are hatched(孵化).
C rocodiles
A crocodile mother puts a lot of time and effort into raising her babies.She starts by building a nest(巢),which she guards for over two months!When the eggs are ready to hatch,the young crocodiles call out to their mother,who digs them out and helps them hatch.She then carries them in her mouth down to the water,where she will guard them for several more weeks or months until they learn to hunt on their own.
Bats
Bats become moms by hanging head up in a cave,giving birth.Catching the youngster before it can fall to the ground below,she puts it in a pouch(育兒袋).Bat moms may carry babies with them when feeding for the first few days.As the little bats get bigger and heavier,moms help them hang on the wall of their caves and return often to feed them.It continues for about three weeks,until the babies are grownup and able to fly on their own.
Koalas(考拉)
The animal mom gives birth after a pregnancy(懷孕期) of only 35 days.The hairless baby climbs into its mother's pouch and lives there for another five months.When the little koala is between five and eight months old,it leaves the pouch for short periods of time but returns for safety.Once it is too big to return to the pouch,it will climb onto its mother's back and ride there until it is about 12 months old.

分析 本文告訴我們動物媽媽同樣也是偉大的媽媽.文中以章魚、鱷魚、蝙蝠及考拉為例,分別說明了他們的媽媽是如何撫養(yǎng)幼小的孩子,為了孩子媽媽做出了自己的犧牲.

解答 25.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)this animal mom dies as soon as the eggs are hatched (孵化).章魚一出生后媽媽就死了,故選C.
26.A 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)She then carries them in her mouth down to the water鱷魚用嘴把小鱷魚帶到水里,故選A.
27.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)Bats become moms by hanging head up in a cave,giving birth,蝙蝠生孩子的時候要把自己掛在山洞里,故選C.
28.B 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)it will climb onto its mother's back and ride there until it is about 12 months old.小考拉一直長到12個月大才離開媽媽.故選B.

1.(36)CWe are learning from life constantly,as long as we recognize and accept those lessons.When you choose to be a student of life,you open yourself to limitless opportunities.
Explore the world.Don't limit yourself to your hometown or to the city you got your first job.(37)F.It doesn't have to be just one town or one apartment complex.Backpacking may not be for everyone,but it's the only way you can see the world.Travelling doesn't just have to be going overseas but also dropping by many states.Culture exists not just in a country but even in small communities.
Acquire new life skills.Maybe it's time that you finally learn how to fix a broken faucet or eve n fix the faulty light in your bathroom.You can finally cross out your bucket list items that have been there forever.Learn how to drive a car or ride a bike.There are definitely things you don't know how to do,and you have a lifetime ahead of you to learn.(38)DBe cultured.Watch as many movies and read as many books as possible.And it doesn't mean that you only watch the ones with high ratings from critics.Books and movies are the fruit of the writers'or the makers'life experiences and understanding of their surroundings.Movies and books are a good look into how people interpret the world.
(39)AFor some individuals,to grow older means to keep your circle of friends down to a few,but that shouldn't stop you from meeting new people.Widen your circle by allowing people into your life and letting them get to know you.Widening your circle to people from all walks of life gives you a bigger and better perspective of the world.
Do many first's.When was the last time you did something for the first time?(40)G.It can be as simple as watching a movie alone or as big as trying bungee jumping.Doing something for the first time doesn't need to have a life-changing effect.It can be a simple realization that apparently,going to a film screening by yourself isn't so bad.

8.In 1943,when George Patton took over the duties of commander,he soon discovered that the discipline of the 2nd army was really poor.Then he gave the orders:all the officers and soldiers should be through with breakfast before 7:30; no one should be late for work in the morning; soldiers with moust ache should shave daily.He required that every soldier should wear the helmet and necktie.Patton also set up a punishment system.Officers would be fined 50 dollars and soldiers 25 dollars if they broke the rules.
Patton's rigorous measures brought great shock to the whole army at once.Three days later,the 2nd army staff brought open their dislike of Patton and soldiers complained strongly because the arrival of Patton put an end to their comfortable life.But Patton ignored this.
Further,he gave the order that"The military rank (軍銜) should be shown on the helmet".A senior colonel (上校) believed that this rule meant to provide a firing target for the enemy.He argued with Patton,"I often go to the battleground.If I were dead,I could no longer serve you and my soldiers."
Patton smiled after hearing that and said,"Colonel,get on my car and we'd have a tour on the front line."When they reached there,the colonel found Patton's helmet,shoulders,collars and even the jeep all had three stars.As a result,the soldiers recognized the general in the jeep was Patton,so they laid down what was in the hand and stood at attention and showed respect to him,cheering.At this moment,Patton said to the colonel,"The soldiers depend on you leading them.They have to realize who their commander is.Commander ought to lead in front of the soldiers,even if it means to die.Then wear your military rank mark."This colonel was completely convinced:"You are correct,General."
Just one week later,Patton achieved obvious effect.This fact proved Patton's statement that he was able to make any army in high spirits in less than a week.

A.Patton's great organizing abilities.
B.Patton's effective management of army.

31.Why did Patton ask the colonel to go to the front with him?D

18.Think about the different ways that people use wind.You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources,as well as one of the oldest.Evidence shows that windmills(風車) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s,when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries,people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground.When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s,people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity.This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.However,by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States,windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s,people started becoming con cerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever.Then,wind was rediscovered,though it means higher costs.Today,there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
24.From the text we know that windmillsC.
A.have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
B.have a history of more than 2,800 years
C.used to supply power to radio in remote areas
D.were invented by European armies
25.What was a new use for wind power in the late 19gh century?C
A.Sailing a boat.
B.Grinding wheat into flour.

2.The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare,Zimbabwe's capital city,is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蟻堆).
Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building,which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating.The building-the country's largest commercial and shopping complex-uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size.The Eastgate's owners saved 3.5millionona36million building because an air-conditioning equipment didn't have to be imported.
The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady,glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air.Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium,blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通風口).As it rises and warms,it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.
During summer's cool nights,big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors.By day,smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building,to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors.For winter days,there are small heaters in the vents.
This is all possible only because Harare i 1600feet above sea level,has cloudless skies,little dampness and rapid temperature changes-days as warm as 31℃commonly drop to 14℃at night."You couldn't do this in New York,with its hot summers and cold winters,"Pearce said.
The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures.It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed etween 23℃and 25℃,with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November,when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night.And the air is fresh-far more so than in air-conditioned buildings,where up to 30% of the air is recycled.

29.Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?B
A.It was designed in a smaller size.
B.No air conditioners were fixed in.
C.Its heating system was less advanced.
D.It used rather different building materials.
30.What does"it"refer to in Paragraph 3?A
A.Fresh air from outside.B.Heat in the building.
C.Hollow space.D.Baseboard vent.
31.Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York?D
A.New York has less clear skies as Harare.
B.Its dampness affects the circulation of air.
C.New York covers a larger area than Harare.
D.Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.
32.The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate's temperature control systemB.
A.allows a wide range of temperatures
B.functions well for most of the year
C.can recycle up to 30% of the air
D.works better in hot seasons.
