21、ough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝) -either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmers crops. Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy

22、and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next, Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family. From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same

23、time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy play

24、ed the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place. Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it

25、several times. She hasnt tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trails with farmers.

28、n one place. C. Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them. D. Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.C You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible (有形的) things such as ca

29、ts, photos and noisy toys. These are among some 40 collections that are being shown at The Museum Of-the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of museums, not what muse

30、ums normally represent. Some of the collections are fairly common-records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful-branches that have fallen from trees, for example. But they all reveal (显露) a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are. Others on t

31、he way include The Museum of Collectors and The Museum of Me. These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of the The Museum Of. The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves co

32、llectors will begin to see they, too, collect. Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important points: the beginning or end of adolescence-its a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up, says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship. Fo

33、r time and life can seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial (顺序排列的) arrangement is comforting.64. How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums? A. By collecting more tangible things. B. By showing what ordinary people have collected C. by collecting what museums normally represe

34、nt D. By accumulating 40 collections two years from now65. What can be learned about collectors from their collections? A. Who they are.B. How old they are. C. Where they were born.D.

36、e to be uncontrollableD Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However

37、, there may be other reasons-for example, economic (经济的) reasons-why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed? In my view, new architectural styles can exist p

38、erfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves

39、that attractiveness of the area. It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally co

40、nservative (保守的) and do not like change. Although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I wou

41、ld argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.68. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph? A. Some of them are not attractive. B. Most of them are too expensive to pr

42、eserve. C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings. D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.69. Which of the following is true according to the author? A. We should reproduce the same old buildings. B. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings. C. Some old buildings

43、have spoilt the area they are in. D. No one understand why people speak against new buildings.70. By move things forward in the last paragraph, the author probably means _. A. destroy old buildings B. put things in a different place C. choose new architectural styles D. respect peoples feelings for

44、historical buildings71. What is new purpose of the passage? A. To explain why people dislike change. B. To warn that we could end up living in caves. C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings. D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areasE You may not have heard

45、 of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years, this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫困) and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small business. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the worlds most promising changemakers seeking to solve (解决) urgent prob

46、lems and would like to created a world in which every citizen is a changemaker. Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. They young in particular are willin

47、g to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact, it is many young peoples ambition to set up programmes or business that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled

48、 the rubbish problems facing the city, helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there. When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhakas streets, attracting rats and disease, they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste. So

49、 they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把制成堆肥) this waste. They knew that they would have a market for the end product because minerals in the soil over the years. At first, they were refused, but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made, the project took o

50、ff. In 2008 sales were $14,000. Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious, practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.72. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. ChangemakersB. B

51、usinessmen C. Social ConditionsD. Rubbish Problem73. The underlined word them in Para. 3 probably refers to _. A. the local farmersB. Masqsood and Iftekhar C. Drayton and his teamD. the poor people in Dhaka74. It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can become a changemaker if he _. A. cons

52、iders Draytons concept B. gets permission from Ashoka C. tries to improves social conditions D. is a young, happy and healthy adult75.

53、s not relevant to young people today. However, this issue (问题) frequently heated debate. Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people. For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over the age of fifty. Others say it is more popular than

54、 we first imagine. Many young people listen to classical music without realizing. It is often used in films and advertisements. For example, a famous piece of classical music was sued as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup. Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it. Also,

55、 some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap (说唱) music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but is it is now used by young people in pop music. However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped (超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need
