jazz festival中的“date: june 28july 8, 2017”可知，短文中所提到的音乐节，都发生在6月15号到7月8号之间。所以短文中提到的音乐节的共同之处是它们都在夏天举办。故d选项正确。【2题详解】推理判断题。由firefly music festival中的“many people havent thought of going to delaware for a summer vacation”可知，很多人都没想过去delaware度暑假。所以通过关键词“ havent thought of”可以推断出delaware不是避暑胜地。故b选项正确。【3题详解】细节理解题。由secret solstice中的“with long, dark, and cold winters, nobody celebrates summer quite like icelanders”可知，因为冰岛有漫长、黑暗、寒冷的冬天，没有哪个人像冰岛人那样愿意庆祝夏天的到来。所以冰岛人举行secret solstice 节日的目的是庆祝夏天的到来。故a选项正确。bai left university with a good degree in english literature, but no sense of what i wanted to do. over

watching and, rather than copy what they have seen,change it to make it better. bees also have a clever trick for helping their friends find lunch. new research shows that bees leave smelly little footprints on flowers that help them know what flowers they and their family members have recently visited.the discovery was made by scientists from university of bristol who report these smelly footprints help bees distinguish between their own scent(气味)，the scent of a relative and the scent of a stranger. and by using this ability ,bees can improve their success at finding good sources of a food and avoid flowers that have already been visited and mined of nutrients.the bristol team performed three separate experiments with bumblebees（大黄蜂）in which they were repeatedly exposed to rewarding and unrewarding flowers at the same time that had footprints from different bees attached to them. each flower type either carried scent -marks from bumblebees of differing relatedness or were unmarked. the marks were either the bees own marks, sisters from their nest ，or strangers from another nest.the study shows that not only can bumblebees tell the marks of their own nest mates from strangers，but they can also discriminate between the smell of their own footprints and those of their nest mate sisters，which could help them to remember which flowers they have visited recently. but it doesnt explain how they use that in the wild. they may detect the footprints of their friends and keep moving on，since that flower may be tapped out. or they may smell a bit of familiar foot smell and dive in，seeing it as a marker that nectar（花蜜）is present.8. what can we infer about bees in paragraph1?a. they are smart learners.b. they have strong family ties.c. they enjoy smelly footprints.d. they like playing tricks on others.9. what does “this ability ”in paragraph 2 refer to?a. finding good sources of food.b. following other bees footprints.c. telling the smells of footprints apart.d. recognizing different types of flowers.10. what can we learn from the findings of the experiments?a. its easier for bumblebees to recognize their friends.b. its unclear how bumblebees use their ability in the wild.c. bumblebees memory can be significantly improved.d. bumblebees footprints can give them a sense of identity.11. what is the main idea of the text?a. different flowers attract different bees.b. bees have a new trick of surviving in the wild.c. bumblebees may smell footprints to keep track of food.d. bumblebees can give off unique scents to attract others.【答案】8. a 9. c 10. b 11.

that bees can teach themselves to play football. they can learn by watching and, rather than copy what they have seen, change it to make it better.”可知，本月初的一项研究表明，蜜蜂可以自学踢足球。他们可以通过观察来学习，而不是仅仅模仿他们所看到的东西，它们改变所看到的东西，使其变得更好。所以通过关键词“ teach themselves，learn by watching，rather than copy，better”可以判断出，他们是聪明的学习者。所以在第1段中，我们能推断出蜜蜂是聪明的学习者。故a选项正确。【9题详解】词义猜测题。由第二段“the discovery was made by scientists from university of bristol who report these smelly footprints help bees distinguish between their own scent(气味)，the scent of a relative and the scent of a stranger. and by using this ability.”可知，这一发现是由bristol大学的科学家们发现的，他们宣称这些有强烈气味的脚印有助于蜜蜂区分它们自己的气味、同类的气味和陌生动物的气味。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，第2段中的this ability指的是“辨别脚印的气味”。故c选项正确。【10题详解】细节理解题。由最后段“but it doesnt explain how they use that in the wild”可知，但这并不能解释它们在野外是如何使用这种能力的。所以我们能从这些实验的结果中学到，现在还不清楚大黄蜂在野外是如何运用它们的能力的。故b选项正确。【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，蜜蜂是聪明的学习者，它可以通过观察来学习，而不是简单的模仿。短文通过大黄蜂的实验证明并证实了，蜜蜂会在花朵上留下有强烈气味的脚印，有强烈气味的脚印有助于蜜蜂区分它们自己的气味、同类的气味和陌生动物的气味。通过使用这种能力，蜜蜂可以提高它们找到良好的食物来源的成功率。所以本文的主旨是大黄蜂可以闻有强烈气味的脚印来寻找食物。故c选项正确。dfor many creatures, the ocean is a terrifying place. several marine animals have declined as a result of overfishing and pollution. but cephalopods(头足动物) a type of invertebrate(无脊椎动物) that includes octopuses, cuttlefish, and squid, have seen a dramatic increase in their numbers over the past 60 years.zoe doubleday, a scientist at the university of adelaide, in australia, conducted a study of cephalopods recently. she points out that their population rise is due to the animals unique traits.the creatures can change their color and body shape. they are fast-growing and live for only one or two years. this allows them to adapt to changing environmental conditions more quickly than other marine species, doubleday says.rising sea temperatures may be speeding up the animals life cycle. they may be growing faster and producing more young. cephalopods live in all of the worlds oceans. they can be found in waters from the freezing polar regions to the warm tropic regions. because they adapt so easily to their environment, the animals are called the weed of the sea .will octopuses, cuttlefish, and squid take over the world one day? some people may wonder. according to doubleday, that is unlikely. the rise in cephalopod populations could slow down if the animals run out of prey(被捕食的动物) and start feeding on one another. overfishing could also have an impact on their numbers.for now, the cephalopod population boom is good news for them and some other sea creatures. increases in cephalopod populations could benefit predators(捕食性动物) such as marine mammals and seabirds, which rely on cephalopods for food, doubleday says.12. what has caused the number of some marine animals to reduce?a. ship transportation.b. global oil production.c. rising sea temperatures.d. overfishing and pollution.13. the underlined word traits in paragraph 2 probably means _.a. habitsb. featuresc. hobbiesd. looks14. according to doubleday, cephalopods _.a. adapt to the environment quicklyb. change their shapes with seasonc. prefer to live in the warm watersd. have a very long life cycle15. which would be the best title of the text?a. cephalopodsb. weed of the seac. who will take over the world?d. the problems faced by marine animals【答案】12. d 13. b 14. a 15. d【解析】这是一篇说明文。目前，由于过度捕捞和环境污染，很多海洋生物数量锐减，但是头足动物的数量却在不断的增加，有人很好奇它们是否有一天会统治世界。答案是不可能，过度捕捞和环境污染也对它们的数量会产生很大的影响。【12题详解】细节理解题。由第一段“several marine animals have declined as a result of overfishing and pollution.”可知，由于过度捕捞和污染，一些海洋动物数量已经减少了。故d选项正确。【13题详解】词义猜测题。由费二段，第三段“she points out that their population rise is due to the animals unique traits. the creatures can change their color and body shape. they are fast-growing and live for only one or two years”可知，她指出，它们的数量增长是由于这些动物的独特特征。这些生物可以改变它们的颜色和体型。它们生长迅速，寿命只有一两年。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，第2段中带下划线的“trait”一词指的是feature“特征”。故b选项正确。【14题详解】细节理解题。由第三段“this allows them to adapt to changing environmental conditions more quickly than other marine species,”可知，doubleday说:“这使得它们比其他海洋物种更快地适应不断变化环境条件。所以根据doubleday，头足类动物能够快速适应环境。故a选项正确。【15题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，目前，由于过度捕捞和环境污染，很多海洋生物数量锐减，但是头足动物的数量却在不断的增加，有人很好奇他们是否有一天会统治世界。答案是不可能，过度捕捞和环境污染也对它们的数量会产生很大的影响。所以短文主要在围绕着“海洋动物面临的问题”而展开。故短文的最佳的标题为“海洋动物面临的问题”。故d选项正确。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。选项中有两项多余选项。elife
