When I left Calgary, I wondered what I would find, what I would learn and who I would meet. On the trip to Ottawa I was wrapped in a blanket of uncertainty and excitement. But when I first met the group of students，scientists and leaders. I knew that I didnt have anything to worry about. The group was amazingly receptive and I was soon part of abig family setting out on an amazing adventurean adventure of a lifetime!When we reached the Arctic, I saw a vast land that appeared untouched and original. I was surprised by its great size and beauty and my senses were repeatedly shocked and amazed. I stood on the Kapitan Khlebnikov and saw twelve polar bears. They walked in search of seal holes and patiently waited for a meal. I learned that polar bears are successful only one out of every twenty hunting attempts.However, I learned that the Arctic and its people are being threatened by pollution and global warming. I learned that pollutants are carried by ocean and air and have a bad effect on all Arctic people. I learnedthat global warming has put polar bears at risk because a warmer climate means that they have a shorter time to hunt seals on the ice. The trip was a feast (盛宴) for the senses. I have learned more about our environment and particularly how alive and interesting the Arctic is and why it is so important to take care of it. I learned pollution ignorance of individual and global problems need to be solved. The Arctic deserves to be preserved. My trip with Students On Ice has made me more determined to try to ensure that I do not leave harmful footprints on either Earth or its people.24. Which is true about the polar bears according to the passage? A. Its not easy for them to catch seals.B. They are at risk because the land is vast and untouched.C. They prefer a little warmer climate.D. They warmly weled the writer and her party.25. How did the writer feel about thetrip according to the last paragraph? A. Surprising.B. Interesting. C. Appealing. D. Rewarding.26. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Global Warming and Canadas Arctic B. The Arctic Is under Severe ThreatC. My Trip to the Canadian Arctic D. Polar Bears and MeCFor many years, scientists thought that monkeys could not produce vowels (元音), sounds that are very important to human speech. But now, researchers reportGuineababoons, monkeys that live inWest Africa, make five vowellike sounds similar to those used by humans. The findings back up a recent study showing Japanese macaques (a type of monkey) are also able to make some speech sounds.“It perfectly confirms our own results,”says William Tecumseh Fitch, a biologist at the University of Vienna and the lead author of the macaque study. The discovery“provides more evidence that scientists have misunderstood monkeys vocal tract (声道).” That mistake es from a misunderstanding of the monkey larynx (喉部)the part in the throat where voice is produced.“It was thought in order to make vowels, you had to have a low larynx (voice box), as humans do,”says Joel Fagot, a scientist at Aix-Marseille University in France and an author of the new study. Because monkey larynxes are set much higher than our own, scientists thought this difference explained why monkeys could not produce vowels. Yet human babies with high larynxes can also pronounce vowels, a fact thatperplexedFagot and his colleagues (同事). To find out, Fagot, his colleagues and the studys first author, Louis-Jean Boe fromGrenobleAlpesUniversityinFrance, recorded 1,404 calls of 15Guineababoons. Their analysis of their calls shows that the baboons produced at least five different sounds that match vowels in the International Phonetic Alphabet (国际音标). Thats quite parable with many human languages, most of which have three to five vowels. The scientists also checked the vocal tracts of two baboons that died of natural causes. They found the monkeys tongues have the same muscles (肌肉) as human tongues. This shows they can make exact movements to form each vowellike sound. It is this ability to control the tongue, rather than the position of the larynx, that is key to producing vowellike sounds. “This is extremely important research,” says John Esling, a language expert at theUniversityofVictoriainCanada.27. What can we learn about the two studies mentioned in the first paragraph? A. They both looked at baboons.B. They both met with doubts.C. They made the same mistakes.D. They had similar discoveries.28.What does the underlined word “perplexed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Confused. B. Amazed. C. Encouraged. D. Attracted.29.How do the baboons make vowellike sounds?A. Using their high larynxes.B. Using their low larynxes.C. Using their lip muscles.D. Using their tongues.30.What is the main purpose of the text?A. To pare human and animal languages.B. To report a study on animal speech.C. To explain monkeys vocal tract.D. To support research on vowels.第二节 七选五（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。Traveling independently for the first time can be stressful (充满压力的) if you dont plan your trip carefully.
