9、ravelling and their increasing experience of other countries means local tastes have changed.

10、wonderful challenge.

11、treets, which sells a huge variety of fruit and vegetables.My friend joined me for my most recent trip home. It was fun showing him all the familiar landmarks, but also going to places Ive never been before. FromMelbourne, we took theGreat Ocean Road, a 150-mile highway that is a scenic delight. We

18、liday light show. Tourists gather at the volcano to see what look like glowing blue rivers of lava. But they arent rivers of lava. Theyre rivers of glowing sulfur (硫磺).Glowing red lava flowing from an erupting volcano isnt unusual. Glowing sulfur is. Hot, sulfur-rich gases escape constantly from fum

19、aroles (喷气孔) in Kawah Ijens crater. Scientists were told that sulfur miners on the volcano sometimes use torches to light the sulfur. The blue flames make Kawah Ijen popular with tourists, who watch from a safe distance.Sulfur is common in volcanic gas, and it can be used to produce many things. But

20、 its so plentiful in Kawah Ijens crater that miners make a dangerous daily journey into the crater to collect sulfur from a fumarole. “The local people pipe the gases from the fumarole through pipes,” says scientist John Pallister. He has walked into the crater himself, wearing a gas mask for protec

21、tion against the clouds of acid that rise from the lake. “They use water from a spring to cool the pipes,” he says. This causes gases to change into liquid sulfur. The sulfur then cools and hardens into rock. Using this method, miners get more usable rock faster than if they just collect pieces.Mine

22、rs face anotherhazard: a huge eruption. Kawah Ijens last big eruption was almost 200 years ago, but the volcano is still active. Indonesian scientists want to find a way to predict a big eruption in time to keep everyone safe. But the deep acid lake makes it difficult to pick up the usual signals th

23、at warn of a coming volcanic eruption.For example, certain gases are usually richer right before an eruption. But in this lake, those gases disappear into the deep water before they can register on the geologists equipment.As scientists search for ways to predict this unusual volcanos behavior, Kawa

The necessity of patience in studying an eruption.DGesturing with the hands while speaking is a common human behavior, but no one knows wh

27、y we do it. Now, some researchers from theUniversityofConnecticut(UConn) reportthat gesturing adds emphasis to speech but not in the way researchers had thought.Gesturing while speaking is common around the world. Many researchers believe that gesturing is either done to emphasize important points,

28、or to explain specific ideas. But there are other possibilities. For example, it could be that gesturing, by changing the size and shape of the chest, lungs and vocal muscles, affects the sound of a persons speech.A team of UConn researchers decided to test whether this idea was true. The team had v

29、olunteers move their dominant hand as if they were cutting wood, while continuously saying“a”as in“cinema.”They were instructed to stabilize (使稳定) the“a”sound, trying to make sure that it remained unchanged.Despite those instructions, when the team played recordings to other people, they found the l

30、isteners could recognize the changes in the speakers voice. The listeners said they were aware that the changes were caused by the speakers gestures. When the listeners were asked to move their arms to the changes, their movements matched perfectly with those of the original speaker.Because of the w

31、ay the human body is constructed, hand movements influence the chest and throat muscles. Gestures are tightly tied to amplitude (振幅). Rather than just using your chest muscles to produce airflow for speech, moving your arms while you speak can add acoustic (声音的) emphasis. And you can hear someones m

32、ovements, even when theyre trying not to let you.“Some language researchers say that they want language to be all about communicating the contents of your mind, rather than the state of your body, or how body movements affect language acoustically. But we think that gestures are allowing the sound t

33、o carry additional information about bodily movements. Its information of another kind,” says James Dixon, one of the UConn researchers.32. What does the UConn researchers study show?A. Gestures can add acoustic emphasis.B. Peoples dominant hand can explain specific ideas.C. Gesturing while speaking

34、 proves to be common.D. Amplitude plays a key role in stressing important points.33. What were the participants required to do during the experiment?A. They must keep a sound steady.B. They must cut wood using a hand.C. They must make some different gestures.D. They must repeat a word several times.

35、34. What did the research team find out about the listeners?A. They normally responded with different gestures.B. They could hear the speakers gestures.C. They knew little about the speakers changes.D. They were unaware of the acoustic emphasis.35. How might some language researchers look at the new

36、 study finding according to James Dixon?A. They might accept it unwillingly.B. They might be curious about it.C. They might be uncertain of it.D. They might disagree with it.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Virginia opossum (弗吉尼亚负鼠) is the only marsupial (有袋动物)

37、found in the United States and Canada.36It is one of Earths oldest surviving species. It is about the size of a big house cat, with a triangular head and a cone-shaped nose. The opossum is covered with grayish fur everywhere, except on its ears, scaly feet, and hairless tail.Opossums are not picky e

38、aters.37Because opossums eat roadkill, they are often killed while looking for food.A female opossum gives birth to a tiny, helpless baby about the size of a honeybee. The baby immediately moves into its mothers pouch.38Inspite of this low survival rate at birth, common opossums are widespread, and

39、not currently threatened or endangered.Bee stings, snake venom (毒液), and other toxins hurt most animals.39It takes full advantage of this adaptation by eating snakes regularly. Like other mammals, the opossum carries ticks (蜱) that spread Lyme disease. But unlike other animals, the opossum eats 90%

40、of the ticks that attach to it.40The most famous is“playing dead.”When threatened, it may lie down on the ground with eyes closed or staring into space. It becomes stiff (僵硬的) and breathes very slowly. One quick sniff convinces foxes and bobcats to look elsewhere for their dinner. With its marsupial
