Our day started like any other day. My husband left for work in the north of the town, which is an hour and a halfs drive. The younger children caught their bus to school ten minutes away. Our oldest attends high school and is a 40-minute drive away. I work at home in the office, working on the computer.It was November 2020 and the news had reported gusty winds. When the winds started to get strong I shut the computer down and tried to phone my husband. I left a message telling him the winds were blowing at 80 to 90 km/hr. As I hung up the phone, I heard a tree crack. I went outside and stood in the driveway. Another tree exploded and my heart was racing.When the school bus carrying the youngsters arrived, I ran to get them. No sooner had we made it to the house than another tree exploded. The children were clearly scared, so I loaded them up into the car and we parked in the middle of the yard, where no trees could land on us, it was starting to get dark.My oldest son didnt come home on the bus and my husband was stranded at work.

They had got all the necessities for emergency.CDarwin noted that some human emotional expressions might have started as part of a physiological function: for example, exposing the teeth to bite food. The function, however, took on meaning and became a form of communication which signals anger.The same may be true for the animals. Baby monkeys cry for attention. They also cry to signal to an adult that they want to be carried.“Chimpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned (断奶) by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another individual,” says Anne Pusey, a professor at the University of Minnesota. “They whimper (呜咽) and cry and scream. When we hear these calls, the emotion involved seems obvious. However, they do not weep in the sense of producing tears. I have seen an adolescent male whimpering when he lost sight of his older brother with whom he had been traveling.”Babies of many mammalian species, including rats, cry. Moreover, when a baby rat cries, often his mother brings the fallen pup back into the nest. This is probably a straightforward communication, as it is with humans. However, psychologists at the University of Iowa arent convinced.The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases andthen increases in blood flow. The blood flow also goes down when baby rats get cold. Thus, they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze. Of course the rat baby could be crying because hes cold and wants his mother to know.“All young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,” says Jaak Panksepp, a psychologist at Bowling Green State University. “If youre willing to call this crying, then certainly other animals show this emotional response.” he says, “ Some of us take seriously that animals do have emotions.”28. According to the first paragraph, what kind of emotion does “exposing the teeth” express?A. Disappointment. B. Excitement. C. Anger. D. Happiness.29. Which is one probable reason why young chimpanzees might be crying?A. They meet their brother.B. They have nothing to eat.C. They are being breast-fed.D. They are parted from their mother.30. Under what circumstance will baby rats cry just like humans sneeze?A. Their blood flow is decreased.B. They feel cold and long for affection.C. Their blood flow is increased.D. Their mother brings them back home.31. Where is the passage most likely taken from?A. An animal journal.B. A physiology book.C. A health magazine.D. A cultural newspaper.DThe concept that caring for babies is mothers duty is deep-rooted. While fathers are referred to pleasure seekers, scientists discovered a case of unusual paternal(父亲的)devotion in a Borneo jungle. Male smooth guardian frogs scarcely move or eat for days while attending a bunch of eggs. Once hatched, tadpoles(蝌蚪)climb on their fathers backs to be transferred to pools of water.About 10 percent frogs look after their young，and within that group, half to two-thirds rely on males to do the job. For instance, male parental care is not uncommon among the brightly colored Neotropical poison frogs. But in species that have been studied in detail, the males often continue to call to females and mate(交配)while tending eggs, and they spread their attention over several bunches.To learn more about its behavior, Dr. Frogtegur, a behavioral ecologist at Kansas University, caught some smooth guardian frogs and allowed pairs to mate in glass containers. Surprisingly, in all nine instances, the male glued their eyes on the eggs. “They just stationed on or near the eggs，”Dr. Frogtegur said. “I had cameras running 24 hours, and sometimes I suspected they were broken because I couldnt see any movement.” Males also didnt call to females, indicating they could resist the desire to mate. After about 10 days, the males prodded(戳)the eggs, helping the tadpoles inside to spin. Afterwards, they stepped on the eggs to break them. “Its kind of like waking up the children to go to school,” Dr. Frogtegur said. The hatched tadpoles climbed on the males backs and arranged themselves neatly. He also discovered 10 males carrying their young in the wild.Dr. Frogtegurs study suggests that a rare phenomenon called sex-role reversal(颠倒)may be in play. In such species, females take the initiative(主动)in mating with males often because males never betray their young.32What does the author intend to tell us Paragraph 2?AIntroduce the Neotropical poison frogsBJustify male frogs attending kidsCUpdate us on male frogs misbehaviorDShow smooth guardian frogs uniqueness33What do we know about Dr. Frogtegurs frog experiment?AIt shows the health condition of care-giversBIt pioneers the theory of sex-role reversalCIt stresses the frogs effect on ecologyDIt reflects males “affection” for kids34What can be a suitable title for the text?AThe role of female frogs BA sex-role reversal phenomenonCUnusual mothers devotion DThe hatching process of tadpoles35What will be discussed next?AMore about sex-role reversal BSmooth guardian frogs nestsCThe growth of hatched tadpolesDEnergy-efficient way of mating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。How to Rent Your HouseBefore handing the keys to your house over to a complete stranger for care, there are decisions you need to make.
