40、的学习经历和翻译成就。故选B。CEnvironmental stressors that push honeybees to begin searching food earlier in life can cause a domino effect on hives (蜂巢), quickening their sudden collapse, a new study suggests. The study showed that too many young bees leaving the hive can cause a tipping point in the tight socie

41、ty of a hive, leading to colony (群体) collapse within weeks. “There was a suggestion that there was some type of difference between precocious foragers (觅食者) and normal aged foragers,” said Perry, a molecular biologist Clint Perry of Queen Mary University. So researchers set up experimental hives tha

42、t would in effect force bees to begin foraging earlier. They also tracked bees in a normal hive, where social roles are regulated, keeping age groups in balance. Colonies regularly protect against unexpected high loss of foragers by sending bees out earlier, but they rapidly return to stability. But

43、 if death rate roughly doubled, the model showed, the colony would be locked in a negative feedback circle of more young bees foraging at younger ages, leading to less stored food and fewer baby bees. “Since the younger bees are not as good at it, they are going to die sooner, and theyre going to no

44、t be bringing back as much food, thereby causing more younger bees to go out, and more younger bees to not do as well, and that will cause continuous feedback that will destroy the colony in a short time,” said Perry. The researchers are continuing their experiments and hope to come up with ways to

45、identify a colony at risk of collapse. “The priority is finding ways that we can identify colonies at risk of failure as early as possible so you can intervene and do whatever you need to support them and to help heal themselves.” said Perry.8. What cause a hive to collapse more quickly?A. Too tight

46、 a society of it.B. Too many bees in it.C. High loss of young foragers.D. High pressure from other bees.9. What does the underlined word “precocious” in the 3rd paragraph mean?A. uncommonly earlyB. abnormalC. easily damagedD. dynamic10. What would happen to the colony if twice the foragers died?A. T

47、he colony would heal itself.B. The colony would get expanded.C. More young bees would be free of risk.D. More young bees would be sent to seek food.11. Whats the authors main purpose in writing the article?A. To ask for joint efforts.B. To introduce a phenomenon.C. To express his emotions.D. To comm

48、ent on a study.【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A【解析】【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述一项新的研究表明，迫使蜜蜂在生命早期开始寻找食物的环境压力可能会对蜂巢造成多米诺骨牌效应，加速它们的突然崩溃。所以作者号召大家共同努力，找到方法，能够尽早识别面临失败风险的蜂巢群体，这样就可以进行干预，并采取一切必要措施支持它们，帮助它们自愈。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“The study showed that too many young bees leaving the hive can cause a tipping point in the tight s

49、ociety of a hive, leading to colony(群体) collapse within weeks.”(该研究表明，太多的年轻蜜蜂离开蜂巢可能会导致蜂巢紧密社会的一个临界点。导致蜂群在几周内崩溃。)可知，太多的年轻蜜蜂离开蜂巢，导致蜂群很快崩溃。故选C。【9题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段“There was a suggestion that there was some type of difference between precocious foragers(觅食者) and normal aged foragers”(有一种说法认为，precocious的觅食者

50、和正常老年的觅食者之间存在某种差异。)可知，precocious是形容词，和后面的形容词“normal aged(正常老年的)”构成对比，所以意思应该是“早熟的”，和选项A意思一致。故选A。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“But if death rate roughly doubled, the model showed, the colony would be locked in a negative feedback circle of more young bees foraging at younger ages, leading to less stored food and

51、 fewer baby bees.”(但是模型显示，如果死亡率大约翻一番，蜂群将被锁定在一个负反馈循环中，更多的年轻蜜蜂在更年轻的时候觅食，导致储存的食物更少，更少的小蜜蜂。)可知，如果死亡率翻倍的话，更多的年轻蜜蜂将会在更年轻的时候被派出去觅食。故选D。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers are continuing their experiments and hope to come up with ways to identify a colony at risk of collapse. “The priority is finding ways t

52、hat we can identify colonies at risk of failure as early as possible so you can intervene and do whatever you need to support them and to help heal themselves.” said Perry.”(研究人员正在继续他们的实验，并希望找到方法来确定一个有崩溃风险的群体。“当务之急是找到方法，让我们能够尽早识别面临失败风险的群体，这样你就可以进行干预，并采取一切必要措施支持它们，帮助它们自愈。”佩里说。)可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是想让更多的人参与进

53、来，共同努力，找到方法，能够尽早识别面临失败风险的蜂巢群体，这样就可以进行干预，并采取一切必要措施支持它们，帮助它们自愈。故选A。DHours after I gave birth to my first child, my husband cradled all five pounds of our boy and said gently, “Hi, sweet pea.” Not “buddy” or “little man.” The words filled me with unexpected comfort. Like most parents, we knew what wed

54、name our son but never discussed what wed speak to him. I was witnessing my husbands commitment to raising a sweet boy.Boys have always known they could do anything; all they had to do was look around at their president, religious leaders, professional athletes and the statues that stand in cities.

55、Girls have always known they are allowed to feel anything. While girls are encouraged to be not just dancers but also astronauts, boys-who already know they can walk on the moon and dominate Silicon Valley dont receive clear encouragement to fully access their emotions.

56、y differences between boys and girls. We do need to recognize that children by nature, regardless of gender, harbor (庇护) sweetness that we, as a society, would do well to promote and preserve.Sweet boys grow up to be men who recognize the strength in being vulnerable (柔弱) and empathetic. Men who are

57、 not threatened by criticism or competition from people whom they consider as “other” be it skin color, sexual orientation, religion, education or whatever. Sweet boys are children whove been given, by their parents and wider society the permission to feel everything and to express those emotions wi

58、thout shame. At a young age, this should be done clearly, in organized forums for discussions at school. Parents must invite their sons to be sad, afraid, hurt, silly and affectionate, and hug them as often as they do to their daughters. Sweet boys learn early on that they can defend themselves agai

59、nst loneliness by reaching out and asking for support. Boys will not be merely boys. If we let them, boys will be human.12.

62、Boys Are Only Boys.C. Seeing the Man in Your Son.D. The benefits of Raising a Boy.【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C【解析】【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述人们对待男孩也应该要有甜蜜的态度，男孩子也有可爱的一面，也应该用温柔和爱去保护他，给他们依靠。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“The words filled me with unexpected comfort. Like most parents, we knew what wed name our son but neve

63、r discussed what wed speak to him. I was witnessing my husbands commitment to raising a sweet boy.”(这些话使我感到意想不到的安慰。像大多数父母一样，我们知道给儿子取什么名字，但从不讨论和他说什么。我见证了我丈夫对抚养一个可爱男孩的承诺。)可知，作者感到安慰，是因为她从丈夫的话里面体会到丈夫有意好好地抚养儿子。故选C。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“While girls are encouraged to be not just dancers but also astronauts, b

64、oys-who already know they can walk on the moon and dominate Silicon Valley-dont receive clear encouragement to fully access their emotions. Actually, we dont need to deny differences between boys and girls. We do need to recognize that children by nature, regardless of gender, harbor(庇护) sweetness t

65、hat we, as a society, would do well to promote and preserve.”(女孩不仅被鼓励成为舞蹈演员，而且还被鼓励成为宇航员，而男孩他们已经知道他们可以在月球上行走并主宰硅谷却没有得到明确的鼓励来充分表达他们的情绪。事实上，我们不需要否认男孩和女孩之间的差异。我们确实需要认识到，儿童天生，无论性别，都心怀甜蜜，作为一个社会，我们应该好好促进和保存这种甜蜜。)可知，在第二段，作者想要说的是男孩实际上没有被鼓励表达自己的情感，没有被正确地抚养。故选B。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Sweet boys grow up to be men w

66、ho recognize the strength in being vulnerable(柔弱) and empathetic. Men who are not threatened by criticism or competition from people whom they consider as “other”be it skin color, sexual orientation, religion, education or whatever. Sweet boys are children whove been given, by their parents and wide

67、r society the permission to feel everything and to express those emotions without shame.”(可爱的男孩长大后成为认识到脆弱和同理心的力量的男人。那些没有受到批评或来自他们认为是“他人”的人的竞争的威胁的男人无论是肤色、性取向、宗教、教育还是其他什么。可爱的男孩是那些得到父母和更广泛的社会许可，去感受一切，去表达这些情感而不感到羞耻的孩子。)可知，可爱的男孩会成长为不会因为自己脆弱和有同理心而感到羞耻的人。故选A。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Boys will not be merely boys

68、. If we let them, boys will be human.”(男孩不仅仅是男孩。如果我们允许，男孩将会是男人。)以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了我们要看到儿子们内心的那个人，即男孩也会像任何一个人一样，既有男子汉气，也是可爱甜蜜的。C项“看到你儿子的男子汉气概”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。故选C。第一节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Weeds, the fast-growing plants that cannot be eaten and do not bring flowers

76、物，不能食用，也不会开花，是园丁们的常见问题)”以及后文“Others pull them up by hand or with heavy machinery. Luckily, there are other ways to limit their growth.(其他人用手或重型机械把它们拔出来。幸运的是，还有其他方法可以限制它们的生长)”可知，本句应当是在说明园丁处理杂草的方法，E选项中some对应后文others。故E选项“一些人使用化学药品来杀死杂草”符合语境，故选E。【17题详解】根据上文“For starters, there are mulches (护根) which ca
