But the truth is that some of them haveinstincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like“coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run whining into his house and hide under a table.I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home.When I was about two hundred metres from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened me. Howard stopped walking and began whining. Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!24.The author named his dog Howard mainly because of_.A.his timid characteristicB.one of the authors friends HowardC. his loud soundD.his strange behaviors25.The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that.A.Howard had a strange behaviorB.Howard should be afraid of the metal polesC.Howard should know the approaching of the terrible lightningD.Howard bit his trousers in his teeth26.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Dogs are cleverer and better than men.B.Dogs are usually afraid of thunderstorms.C.Some animals can feel certain things humans cannot.D.Dogs are naturally born heroes.27.What can beinferredabout the bus shelter from the passage?A.It was about 200 meters from the authors home.B.It was destroyed in a rainy day.C.Its roof was supported by wood poles.D.It could produce blinding flash of lightning.CAskpeopleintheUKwhatthewords“Sundayroast”meantothem,andtheyllprobablytakeyou back to their grandmothersdining roomsmaybe with a few stories of“the greatest puddings”and“the best ever steak”.

Uncertain.DWhats small, buzzes here and there and visits flowers? If you said bees or hummingbirds, you got it. You wouldnt be the first if you mixed the two up. Now a group of researchers even say we should embrace our history of considering the two together in the same group. The way scientists study bees could help them study hummingbird behavior, too.Scientists first pared the two back in the 1970s when studying how animals search for food. The idea is that animals use a kind of math to make choices in orderto minimize the work it takes to earn maximum rewards. Researchers at the time focused on movement rules, like the order in which they visited flowers, and where flowers were located to others. It was “almost like an algorithm(算法)” for efficient searching, said David Pritchard, a biologist at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Hummingbirds and bees had similar solutions.As the field of animal cognition(认知) appeared, hummingbird and bee research parted. Neuroscientists and behavioral ecologists developed ways to study bee behavior in naturalistic settings. Hummingbird researchers pared hummingbirds to other birds and borrowed methods from psychology to study their ability to learn in the lab. To be fair, hummingbirds and bees differ. For example, hummingbirds have more advanced eyes and brains than bees. Honeybees and bumblebees are social; hummingbirds typically arent.But however they perceive(感知) or process information, they both experience similar information, Dr. Pritchard said. In day-to-day searching for food, for example, hummingbirds may rely on more of a bees-eye view than a birds-eye view. Like other birds, they rely on landmarks, distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances, but they dont use these cues to find flowers. Move a flower just an inch or so away from where a hummingbird thought it was and it will hover over the flowers original location. Dr. Pritchard is investigating if, like bees, hummingbirds engage in view matching hovering, scanning snapshots of a place to its memory and using those as references later.32. What is the center of research on hummingbirds and bees in the 1970s?A. Memory.B. Movement rules.C. Reward calculating.D. Information processing.33. Which subjects research methods were adopted to study the learning ability of Hummingbirds?A. Math. B. Biology.C. Ecology. D. Psychology.34. How do researchers find out that hummingbirds are not like birds?A. By setting them free. B. By moving flowers.C. By matching view. D. By making maps.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Hummingbirds and Bees B. Hummingbirds in the LabC. New Trends in Studying Bees D.

He showed to everyone in my class proud. I really envied him and every day I ask my mum to buy me an expensive present. However, to my disappointment, I only got a second-hand bike at that special day. So one day while I was riding my “dear” bike back home from school, I passed the shop that my mum worked. I saw a familiar figure kneeling down in the front of it cleaned the outside steps of the shop. It was my mum! She worked so harder to raise me! Tear in my eyes, I got off the bike and worked together with her.第二节 书面表达 (满分25分) 假定你是李华，是一名高中生。最近，你笔友Jim发来一封电子邮件，询问你心仪的大学。请给他回一封电子邮件，内容包括：1.你最想上哪一所大学；2.选择这个大学的原因；3.如何实现自己的梦想。注意：1.词数100左右；2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear Jim,_Yours sincerely,Li Hua 阅读理解21.
