20、 DinnerBy: Renee L. Rosier & Tracy Langkilde 2021 Nature EducationMost animals face the risk of being eaten. To avoid becoming someones dinner, an organism must be able to identify predatory threats and employ effective strategies to avoid detection by predators. In the event that avoidance fails, a

21、nimals can use strategies that will increase their chances of surviving attack if they do encounter predators. Detecting predators (捕食者):a. Visual Many animals respond to general visual cues(提示), such as the presence of a new object or sudden movement. Other visual cues, including an animals size an

22、d behavior, can provide specific information about the identity and intention of a potential predator. For example, prey may be able to visually identify a predator based on its shape, size, and color, and can use the predators behavior to determine the immediate threat that it poses. b. AuditoryAud

23、itory cues can provide reliable, direct information about a predators presence, identity. These cues are especially helpful for nocturnal (夜间活动的) prey species or animals that avoid predators that frequently use sound to hunt or communicate. For example, toadfish recognize sound of dolphins when they

24、 are looking for food, one of their main predators, and reduce their activity levels in response. c. Chemical Chemical cues can be present in the air, in water, or on the ground, and can be detected by prey through smelling or tasting, providing a reliable indication of a predators presence even if

25、it is visually undetectable. Some species are even able to determine how old a predator scent is, and will avoid only fresh scent cues as they indicate a predators recent presence. Animals can also use changes in the concentration or age of a scent to determine which direction a predator was traveli

26、ng, in order to better avoid it. d. Vibration (震动) Vibration cues can provide useful information about a predators presence, and can be difficult for predators to hide. Many animals, including some spiders, caterpillars, and tadpoles, use vibrations as indicators of predator presence, and can distin

27、guish vibrations made by predators, non-predators, and abiotic (非生命的) cues (such as rainfall). It is important for prey to be able to distinguish cues from threats versus non-threats, as responding to every tactile stimulus (触觉刺激) would waste time and energy, and may actually attract the attention o

28、f predators.36. How many kinds of visual cues are mentioned in the passage?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.37. How does toadfish avoid threat from dolphins?A. By making noises.B. By looking for food.C. By responding actively.D. By reducing their move.38. Which of the following cue can best be used t

29、o detect the direction of predators at night?A. Visual.B. Auditory.C. Chemical.D. Vibration.39. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A Chemical cues fail to function if the predators are out of sight.B. Visual cues can be used as an indication of predators intentio

30、n.C. Vibration cues are reliable as predators can hardly stop vibrating.D. Auditory cues help prey to figure out what kind of predators they meet.40. Which of the following topic might be talked about in the following paragraphs?A. Prey species and their behaviorsB. Distinct Characteristics of Preda

31、torsC. Surviving Encounters with PredatorsD. Effective Ways to Find out Prey speciesBIf you had asked me then if I would accept a job as a restaurant critic for The New York Times or others, I would have replied, “Definitely not! ” This was partly because I did not want to think of myself as an ambi

32、tious sort. Working in restaurants was honest labor, and anyone could see that. Writing about them for the mainstream press was not. However, the renewing was fun, so much fun that when mainstream publishers started paying me for my opinions, I didnt do the decent (体面的) thing, and before I knew it,

33、I had stopped cooking professionally. Then I stopped cooking altogether. “Shes joined the leisure class.” my friend said. I disarmed my critics by inviting them along; nobody I knew could afford to eat out and nobody refused. We went with equal amounts of guilt and pleasure, with a feeling that we w

34、ere stepping onto the playgrounds of the rich. We knew we didnt belong to these grand restaurants. We always got the worst table, and since I didnt own a credit card, I had to pay in cash. The year turned into two and three, and more. Then, I got a credit card as well as good clothes. I was writing

35、for increasingly prestigious (声誉高的) publications. Meanwhile, a voice inside me kept whispering, “How could you?”The voice is still there, never coming to a stop. When I receive weekly letters from people who think it is unacceptable to write about $100 meals while half the world is hungry, the voice

36、 rings right along, “Theyre absolutely right, you elitist (精英) pig is not”. When it asks, “When are you going to grow up and get a real job?”, it sounds a lot like my mother. It is just at that moment that I tell the voice to shut up because I realize all Im doing with my life is telling rich people

37、 where to eat and how much the world has changed. Yes, there are still restaurants where rich people go to remind themselves that they are different from you and me, but there are fewer and fewer of them. Going out to eat used to be like going to the opera; today, it is more like going to the movies

38、. Therefore, everyone has become a critic and I couldnt be happier with this. The more people pay attention to what and how they eat, the more accustomed they become to their own senses and the world around them. As A. J. Liebling once said, all it really takes to be a restaurant critic is a good ap

39、petite.41. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A. The author was too honest to work as a restaurant critic.B. The author found it hard to work for the mainstream press.C. The author didnt think highly of the job as a restaurant critic.D. The author wasnt able to renew the work as a profes

40、sional cook.42. How did the author feel about eating out?A. She felt like eating out with the rich.B. She refused to eat out with the critics.C. She had a mixed feeling about eating out.D. She got much fun from being invited to eat out.43. What does the author want to tell us by saying “The year tur

41、ned into two, and three, and more.”?A. She stayed in the career as a professional cook for years.B. She took up the job of writing as a restaurant critic for years.C. It took a long time for the publications to increase their prestige.D. It was years before her application for a credit card got appr

42、oved.44. What changes have taken place to American restaurants?A. Restaurants make people confused about their social status.B. Rich people can get special treat in some restaurants.C. Ordinary people have become accustomed to fancy restaurants. oD Restaurants have become affordable to common people

43、.45. Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with?A. Eating out is not a privilege of the rich.B. There is no need for restaurant critics at all.C. The writer is getting tired of her current job.D. Good appetite makes a good restaurant critic.CTourists visiting the Canary Is

44、lands can often hear locals communicating over long distances by whistlingnot a tune, but the Spanish language. The locals are communicating in Silbo, a much more widespread use of whistled languages. In at least 80 cultures worldwide, people have developed whistled versions of their local languages

45、 when the circumstances call for it. Whistled languages are almost always developed by traditional cultures that live in mountainous regions or in dense forests. Thats because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting, says Julien Meyer, a linguist who explores the topic

46、of whistled languages. Skilled whistlers can reach 120 decibels (分贝) louder than a car speaker. As a result, whistled speech can be understood up to 10 times as far away as ordinary shouting can. That lets people communicate when they cannot get close enough to shout. Whistled languages work because

47、 many of the key elements of speech can be mimicked in a whistle. We distinguish one speech sound from another by minor differences in their sound frequency patterns. Whistlers can express all of these distinctions by varying the pitch (音高) of their whistle. And the skill can be adapted to any langu

48、age, even those that have no tradition of whistling. However whistled languages are disappearing rapidly all over the world, and somesuch as the whistled form of the Tepehua language in Mexicohave already disappeared. Modernization is largely to blame, says Meyer, who points to roads as the biggest

49、factor. “Thats why you still find whistled speech only in places that are very, very remote, that have had less access to roads,” he says. Fortunately, there is still a ray of hope. UNESCO has listed two whistled languagesSilbo in the Canary Islands, and a whistled Turkishas elements of the worlds i

50、ntangible cultural heritage. Such attention can lead to conservation efforts. In the Canary Islands, for example, Silbo is now taught in schools. “If people hadnt made that effort, Silbo would probably have disappeared,” says Meyer. There, at least, the future of the whistled language looks bright.4

51、6. What can be learned about Silbo?A. It is an endangered tune.B. It is employed to entertain tourists.C. It is used in more than 80 cultures.D. It is a whistled version of Spanish.47. What are whistled languages mainly used to do?A. Pass on secret information.B. Get messages across over long distan

52、ces.C. Imitate the sound patterns of other languages.D. Show minor differences between speech sounds.48. What does the underlined word “mimicked” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. imitatedB. developedC. combinedD. appreciated49. Why are whistled languages disappearing according to Meyer?A. Lack of skilled teac

53、hers.B. Contact with modernities.C. Difficulty in learning them.D. Popularity of official languages.50. What is the authors attitude towards the future of Silbo?A. Critical.B. Dissatisfied.C. Optimistic.D. Ambiguous.DSince the early to mid-2010s, social media apps have made a permanent home in many

54、peoples phones, and spending time on social media has become as much of a daily activity as drinking water. Since so many people are on it for much of their daysespecially kids, teens, and young adultsthere is increased concern over what social media is doing to people. Many argue that social media

55、is an unhealthy way to pass the time, and that false information from online is causing confusion and panic. This type of thing happens with every generation when something new that people dont understand comes along: So many people thought rock-and-roll was making teens morally bad, which really wa

56、snt the case. It is fair to say that the teenage years are hard, and that teens need an escape. Back before phones, teens would listen to rock music as a form of escapism, or they would watch TV, go to the movies, skate around, or dress up in crazy clothes. Unfortunately, all of those things at one

57、point in time were blamed for being a bad influence on young people. Social media is the new rock-and-roll: its a new thing, and people demonize(妖魔化)change. For example, many believe that everything on social media apps is filtered(加滤镜)and that seeing perfect people and their perfectly edited lives

58、often leads to lots of negative emotions. However, models, magazines. and movies have been using retouching(修整)tools for photos and media since Photoshop and other post-production services were invented. Social media has made it easier to see more edited pictures, but social media itself isnt making

59、 people want to look a certain way. People should acknowledge that these pictures arent authentic, and the posts are made to look good on purpose. Social media is hot to blame for body confidence issues when the things people want to look like arent even real in the first place. It seems like most i

60、ssues around social media are user errors, like anyone complaining there are too many people being addicted to social media. However, not everyone is addicted to social media; people who have any grasp on reality wouldnt spend every waking second on the phone. It is really up to the individual how t

61、hey use social media. Keeping up with the flood of posts, stories, and photos takes a lot of timemany young people admit that they spend hours on their phones every day. Yet, this seems like an easy problem to solve when the solution is simply clicking off the phone a couple hours early. Therefore,

62、it is clear that moderation(适度)is the key to dealing with all the issues around social media.51. Why does the author mention “rock-and-roll” in Paragraph 2?A. To demonstrate the advantages of social media.B. To predict the future development of social media.C. To explain why social media is regarded

63、 as negative.D. To analyze why social media becomes so popular today.52. What does the author think of posting edited photos on social media apps?A. Understandable.B. Disturbing.C. Intolerable.D. Convincing53. Why do some people spend a lot of time on their phones?A. Because they have grasp on reali

64、tyB. Because they want to know what happens.C. Because they can keep up with the modern trend.D. Because they are looking for a solution to the errors.54. What does the text advise people to do about social media?A. Make the best use of it.B. Completely stay away from it.C. Prohibit young people fro

65、m using it.D. Spend reasonable amounts of time on it.55. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. What makes us so addicted to social media?B. Why is social media so popular among teenagers?C. Should we depend on social media for information?D. Is it right to blame social media for

66、 all the problems?第II卷(35分)第三部分：写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列短文，按照要求用英文回答问题。I love beautiful scenery as much as others do, but I have always focused downwards wherever I walk. I love finding unexpected treasuresthe habit likely goes back to my childhood. Even today, I engage in this ob

67、session while walking the dog up and down the river park, Don Valley. In January 2019, a few days after an unusually heavy snowfall, I was struggling through the Don Valley as usual with my dog. Snow days are not the best for treasure hunting, so I was surprised to see a shiny gold beneath the snow

68、near the bottom of a hill. I carefully took out a ring decorated with a Cartier logo. I walked into the local coffee shop nearby to see if anybody had reported lost jewelry. Sadly, they had no news, so I headed home to print up flyers (传单) to post around the neighborhood. I also tried a local Facebo

69、ok group. I waited and waited but nobody called to lay claim to my small treasure. After putting it on the shelf, I eventually forgot all about it. That is, until many months later when our daughter Katie came back home for holiday. She happened to see the ring when reaching a book. With far better

70、eyesight, she soon noticed the tiny letters on the inside of the ring that read, “Omar and Yoshi.” It was so obviously important to them. I promise to do whatever I could to track down this couple. We searched through years of wedding notices but there was nothing on record for those two names. Frus

71、trated, I began to give up hope, then had one last thought: why not call Cartier stores in the city? I called one store. An understandably confused gentleman listened to my story, went silent for a moment and then stated that the ring was totally untraceable(无迹可寻的). He apologized, and I was about to

72、 hang up when he suddenly asked if I had found a name on the ring. I told him just the first name, Omar. “Omar?” he said excitedly. “Omar and Yoshi?”After nearly a whole year, I finally made it to return my small treasure to Omar and Yoshi.56. What does the underlined word in Para 1 mean? (1 word)_5

73、7. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? (no more than 15 words)_58. Why didnt the author find the letters on the ring? (no more than 15 words)_59. What finally helped the author find the ring owner? (no more than 10 words)_60. What do you think of the author? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

79、ner.第二节：书面表达(满分25分)【61题答案】【答案】Dear Jason,How are you getting on recently? Knowing that you are interested in noncash payments in China, I am glad to share something with you. At present, there are three main payment methods in China: mobile phone, credit card and cash, among which mobile payment is

80、the most used.As we can see non-cash payment has quite a few advantages. Firstly, it can reduce the risk of losing money, and prevent receiving counterfeit notes. In addition, we can pay for whatever we buy with only a smart phone. And the best part is that we dont need to worry about having no change when taking a bus. However, non-cash payment also has some disadvantages. It is not convenient for some elderly people who dont use mobile phones. Additionally, it cant protect peoples privacy.As for me, I prefer non-cash payment, which I think is an indispensable part of modern life.YoursLi Jin
