However, the 58-year-old Frenchmans daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks of lesser white-fronted geese (小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wilds of Lapland, Sweden. To prevent their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters.However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging. As young geese imitate and follow whomever they view as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.To help raise funds and awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights aboard his aircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15-hour plane flight away, are treated to a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but for what they describe.

The elephant in your living room is your Internet-connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that theyre being recorded while you all watch the big game together?Its certainly new territory, especially as home security cameras become easier to fix, says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, Americas distinguished manners advisors. I think it will be very interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if its not a security issue. Post wants to make clear that shes not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference.When it comes to security cameras, Post says its a hosts responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about it, that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.However, if a contractor(合约工)is working in your home, you dont need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the camera can also work in contractors favor. If anything does go wrong while theyre in the house, they dont want to be blamed for it, she says. In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didnt steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.8The visitors are concerned that the security camera may .A.threaten their healthB.spoil their peace of mindC.disturb their privacyD.affect their preference9What is a hosts responsibility concerning the security camera?A.Indicating its position.B.Making their guests feel at easeC.Turning it off in time.D.Having a casual talk with guests.10How can the home security camera benefit contractors working in your home?A. It can show their innocence.B. It can prevent the accidents happening.C.It can record their working progress.D.It can make their work more enjoyable.11Whats the authors attitude towards the security camera?A.Negative.B.Pessimistic.C.Favorable.D.Objective.DSleep repairs the body and the mind and helps prevent disease by strengthening the immune system. However, many adults do not get eight hours of sleep each night. The average adult today gets only 6.4 hours of sleep. Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness of sleep deprivation in the working population. A significant number of people work at night, work long hours, or suffer from sleeplessness or jet lag.Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep deprivation because certain patterns of electrical and chemical activity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain cannot function normally. In one study, thirteen healthy adult subjects(实验对象) who usually had normal sleep patterns were kept awake and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours. During the experiment, the subjects were asked to perform several tasks, such as mathematics and word problems, while undergoing scans of their brain activity. The researchers found that the temporal lobe (颞叶) of the brain, the region involved in language processing, was active during speech tasks in rested subjects but not in subjects who lacked enough sleep. After several hours without sleep, there was no activity within this region.Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of sleep can damage short-term memory and reaction timethus causing a serious risk of accident. In one study of drivers, researchers reported that sleep deprivation had the same effects as being drunk. They found that people who drove after being awake for 17 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 percent, the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries. The researchers concluded that countries with drunk driving laws should consider similar restrictions against sleep-deprived driving.12The underlined word deprivation in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_.Aweakness Bloss Cdiscomfort Dpain13The passage mentions all of the following as causes of sleep deprivation EXCEPT_.Aboring work Blong work hoursCjet lag Dworking at night14The purpose of the study described in Paragraph 2 was to determine_.Ahow many hours people can survive without sleepBhow people react when their sleep is interruptedCthe changes in brain activity that occurs during sleepDthe effects of sleep deprivation on brain activity15Why does the author mention blood alcohol level in Paragraph 3?ATo show how sleep deprivation reduces the blood alcohol level.BTo show that sleep deprivation has the same dangerous effects as being drunk.CTo suggest that sleep-deprived drivers are also likely to drink.DTo argue against raising the legal limit for drunk driving.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。The world is a colorful landscape of different languages, skin colors, and different cultures.
