【題目】Tiny transmitters(發(fā)射機(jī)) fixed on the backs of the blue-green bees have allowed scientists to follow the insects as they fly for miles in search of rare flowers.
Working in Panama, scientists caught 17 bees of the common species and fixed a 300 milligram radio light onto the back of each. The signals they sent out were used to follow their movements in and around the forest where they lived.
Professor Martin, from Princeton University, US, and the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany, said, “By following the radio signals, we discovered that male bees spent most of their time in small centre areas, but could take off and visit areas farther away. One male even crossed over the shipping lanes in the Panama Canal, flying at least 5km, and returned a few days later.”
Researchers have struggled to follow the movements of bees before, following bees marked with paint or using radar which doesn’t work well in forests.
“Carrying the transmitter could reduce the distance that the bees travel, but even if the flight distances we record are the shortest distances that these bees can fly, they are impressive, long-distance movements,” said Dr. Roland Kays, from New York State Museum, a co-author of the research published today in the on-line journal. “This result helps to explain how these bees’ pollination(授粉) can be so rare.” Pollination by bees and other insects is the key to the diversity and continued growth of flowers and trees in some forests.
The new study is the first to use radio transmitters to follow bees in a forest. Similar research may now be carried in temperate forests, where bees also play a vital role.
【1】The main purpose of the passage is to___
A.call on people to protect the bees for the environment
B.explain why the bees fly far away in search of flowers
C.introduce a modern way to follow the bees to readers
D.encourage the public to support the scientists’ research
【2】What was the problem when researchers tried to follow the bees in the past?
A. It was quite difficult to mark the bees
B. The radar itself didn’t work very well
C. The bees weren’t easy to be recognized
D. Environmental limits were hard to solve
【3】What Dr. Roland Kays said implied that____
A.he didn’t expect bees could fly so long a distance
B.The transmitter didn’t have any effects on bees at all
C.He wanted to know how far bees could travel badly
D.The record was in fact as exact as he had thought
【4】Researchers follow the movements of bees mainly to___
A.learn how far they can fly at most
B.discover how they affect the plants
C.correct some wrong ideas about bees
D.get to know where they enjoy living
【答案】
【1】C
【2】D
【3】A

【題目】Alone in the darkness under layers of rubble (碎石),Dan Woolley felt blood streaming from his head and leg.
Woolley, an aid worker, husband, and father of two boys, followed instructions on his cell phone to survive the January 12 earthquake in Haiti.
"I had an app that had pre -downloaded all this information about treating wounds. So I looked up excessive bleeding and I looked up compound fracture(斷裂)," Woolley told CNN.
The application on his iPhone (網(wǎng)絡(luò)電話)is filled with information about first aid and CPR from the American Heart Association. "So I knew I wasn't making mistakes," Woolley said. "That gave me confidence to treat my wounds properly."
Trapped in the ruins of the Hotel Montana in,he used his shirt to bandage his leg, and tied his belt around the wound. To stop the bleeding on his head, he firmly pressed a sock to it. Concerned he might have been experiencing shock,Woolley used the app to look up what to do. It warned him not to sleep. So he set his phone alarm to go off every 20 minutes.
Once the battery got down to less than 20 percent of its power, Woolley turned it off. By then, he says, he had trained his body not to sleep for long periods, drifting off only to wake up within minutes.
With his injuries tended to,he wrote a note to his family in his journal: "I was in a big accident, an earthquake. Don't be upset at God. He always provides for his children even in hard times. I'm still praying that God will get me out, but he may not. But even so he will always take care of you."
After more than 60 hours, Woolley was pulled from the rubble. "Those guys are rescue heroes," he said of the crew that pulled him out.

【題目】Choosing a Career After High School
【1】 Start thinking early about what kind of work you may want to explore after high school, remembering that you can change careers several times throughout your work life. Your exact choice should take into consideration your interests, personality and personal goals. Read on for some general options to think about when you are choosing a career after high school.
1. Take a personality and interest test. 【2】 The Keirsey Temperament Sorter assumes that you have your own patterns of attitude and actions that are as unique to you as the build of your body. The Keirsey test gives you 71 multiple-choice questions to determine exactly how you interact with the world.
2. 【3】 Careers in the professions and most government work require a college education, with a minimum of a bachelor's degree. Other careers do not require a college education, but rather offer on-the-job training and start you out in an entry-level position from which you can grow.

This may not be a very good option if you struggled with your grades in high school. Vocational training programs are usually modeled after academic training, but are much more hands-on as they allow you to actually do the work while you learn.
4. Join the military. 【4】 The military pays for your future university education and offers you an attractive enlistment(應(yīng)征入伍) bons. You will be trained to learn a variety of skills, so be prepared for a highly structured environment that demands self-discipline and hard work.
