She was unfit to return to the wild. And though a professional rescue team took her in to care for her, Ziggy continued to decline. “I wouldnt have given her next week，” says Uriarte, a surgeon who led a recent firstofitskind brain operation on the seal.The operation was the first of its kind to treat hydrocephalus(脑积水) in fur seals. The surgical team at Tufts University was unable to find any documented evidence of a similar procedure, so they needed a lot of preparation to operate on Ziggys brain. The biggest concern in operating on Ziggy was how to control the animals anesthesia(麻醉). “When theyre under anesthesia their bodys reactions include decreasing their heart rate, blood pressure, and breath，” says Flower, describing the special challenges of operating on seals. On the day of her surgery, Flower, who observes Ziggy and the other animals care, says that she and her team “were all quite anxious not knowing what would happen”. Moving quickly was extremely important; the longer she was under anesthesia, the more likely that she could lose her breathing, says the surgeon. The seal had been kept on land to prevent water from entering the cut on her head.Now, Ziggy is eating a full diet and is beginning to gain weight again. “Recently Ive allowed her to go swimming，” says Flower. However, the source of Ziggys neurological disorder is still a mystery. “My theory is that when she was found, she had a head injury，” Uriarte says. “Hit by a boat maybe.That happens a lot with seals. I dont think theres enough information to make that assumption. We just dont know what happened to her.” 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一只海狗被救的故事。(A)24.

In order to make sure that they do their best, both students and teachers should stay informed of how these tests are changing. Clive Roberts, a director at ELS Educational Services, says the tests are changing greatly in response to the global growth in the use of English as a mon language among people with different native languages. He says English “is one of the keys now to international student mobility. So, for that reason, a lot of new tests are being developed; old tests are being revamped to meet the needs of universities and employers worldwide.”Mr. Roberts says several parts of standardized tests have changed recently. Now, many tests are given on puters. And, he says, tests measure all four skills of language learning: reading, listening, speaking and writing. puter testing will reduce the length of time required for testing, because the tests adjust to the testtakers ability. These puteradaptive tests also increase accuracy in scoring. puteradaptive tests change depending on the testtakers responses. They can bee more or less difficult during the testing session. For this reason, the set of correct answers will be different for each testtaker.Another change to language testing relates to cultural sensitivity. Mr. Roberts says test development panies are now hiring people with intercultural munication backgrounds. The panies want to make sure the test does not upset testtakers. Having negative feelings may affect a students performance on the test.The tests have also bee more proficiencyoriented. The items are being designed in such a way that they test realworld proficiency and not simply sort of an artificial environment or a specific set of skills that are taught in a classroom. So a lot of authentic texts, and a lot of authentic listening passages are being used.In addition, changes to the tests will encourage schools to teach their students to use English for everyday life and study.(A)28. What does the writer intend to do in Paragraph 1? A. Introduce the topic of the text.B. Emphasize the importance of English test scores.C. Talk about the changed tests.D. Show his/her concern about language learning.【解析】从第一段段末可知，下文作者应该会给大家讲述现在英语测试的诸多变化。通过对下文的浏览，也能确定作者开篇提到英语考试成绩对全球各地学生的重要性，接着讲述它的变化师生们不能不知道，暗示作者下面会讲述具体有哪些变化，也就是文章的主旨是讲英语测试的种种新变化。(B)29. Which of the following may replace the underlined word “revamped” in Paragraph 2?A. increased B. improvedC. simplified D. saved 【解析】通过分析本词前面与之对比的“新考试正在出台”和后面表目的的状语“为了满足世界各地大学和雇主的需要”可知，旧的考试可以得以“改进”，故选B。(D)30. Which of the following is NOT a change of the English test? A. Timesaving.B. puterassisted.C. Realworld proficiency.D. Inflexibility.【解析】根据新的英语测试可根据参考者反应的不同作出试卷的难度调整，故非常地灵活，inflexibility不灵活，显然是错误的。其余几个选项A、B、C提到的新测试特点分别是省时、电脑支持以及真实世界中的熟练程度，在文章第三段和第五段有涉及，故不能选。(C)31. People with intercultural munication backgrounds are employed _ A. to take the test themselves firstB. to evaluate the quality of the test C. to ensure the test wont be culturally offensiveD. to tell the intercultural differences arising from the test【解析】分析文章第四段材料中的“The panies want to make sure the test does not upset testtakers.”可知，考试命题机构聘请有跨国背景人士来审题，是为了保证试卷不会让参考者感到不快。故C项正确。DThat people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “firstnight” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.Dr. Sasaki knew the “firstnight” effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining watchful enough to avoid predators(捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, the team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the universitys Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres(半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki reran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps(蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying watchful to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.(C)32. What did researchers find puzzling about the “firstnight” effect?A. To what extent it can trouble people.B. What role it has played in evolutionC. In what way it can be beneficial.D. What circumstances may set it off.【解析】第二段第二句可知答案。第二段开头指出，佐佐木博士知道，“第一夜”效应可能和人类的进化方式有关。难题是在第二天的表现可能会受到影响的情况下，这一现象带来什么好处。(D)33. What do we learn about Dr. Sasaki doing her research?A. She found birds and dolphins remain watchful while asleep.B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.C. She conducted studies on birds and dolphins sleeping patterns.D. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins.【解析】第二段第三、四句可知，佐佐木博士在之前对鸟类和海豚的研究工作中得到了一些启示。(B)34. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?A. She employed 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.B. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.C. She kept the participants awake.D. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.【解析】第二段第五、六句可知，佐佐木博士的团队对睡在陌生环境中的35个健康的人进行了研究，监控观察了他们的大脑活动。(C)35. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.B. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.C. They tended to see irregular beeps as a threat.D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones.【解析】第三段第二句可知，佐佐木博士发现，如果左半球在一个陌生的环境中为了防卫而保持警觉，那么它会通过搅扰人睡眠的方式对不规律的蜂鸣声有所反应。也就是说，参与者把不规律的蜂鸣声当成了威胁，从而产生了反应。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Run! LunchDelivery Men!Its lunch time, and Guo Ziyang is on a mission: deliver seven hot meal orders in an hour. He dashes into a downtown highrise, carrying a plastic container of hot beef noodles.
