Beehives(蜂窝)-either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmers crops. In 2012, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmers to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away. 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 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 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 played 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 several times. She hasnt tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.4.

As mentioned in the passage, Lucy_.A.works by herself in Africa B.needs to test more elephant groupsC.has stopped elephants eating cropsD.has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms6.

Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.Young elephants ignore African honeybees. B.Waterfalls can make elephants stay in 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. CId just finished some shopping, and was getting ready to leave the supermarkets parking lot, when I heard music coming from the area of the shopping carts（手推车).I knew it was someone I knew, wellthe beggar, I couldnt really call him.He never begged. It was more like he was open to accepting presents. He never had a sign out, never spoke and never looked at you to beg. He would just sit quietly on the side of the entrance, out of the way, have a little box outside, and thank everyone very politely who gave him something. He didnt look like the many people I knew in my town who lived on the streets. His clothes always looked quite clean. I often wondered how hed gotten to live on the streets. And he was playing his guitar, just like the last time Id seen him in summer. He hadnt noticed me then, being so deep into his music. I started to talk to him. He told me that he had been an epileptic（癫痫患者） as a child and as a young man now, he couldnt even get the job the social services try to offer people like him-everybody seemed afraid of the responsibility, even though hed had no seizure(发作)for the past 13 years.I started feeling sorry for him, but then he said, Ive made my peace with that. Im happy I got an apartment. He said hed gotten so much help, and he wanted to try to give back, starting with the music. I was so happy that he remembered his love for music, and shared his music with the people passing by. I was glad he found an apartment and had the inner strength not to let himself down, and as he said, “found his faith again.” 8. What was the young man doing when the author found him?A.

Disappointed.DAn online supermarket company, Ocado in the UK, has recently displayed a robotic hand that can pick fruits and vegetables.When an embryo(胚胎) is in the body, the very first sense it develops is touch. The sense of touch is also the one that lasts the longestas we get older and our vision and hearing begin to weaken, touch still remains. Humans use their touch to protect themselves, to create emotional relationships with other people, and to experience pleasure. Can you imagine life without it?The sense of touch comes from a network of nerve endings and special touch receptors(感受器) on the surface of the skin. While there are different kinds of touch receptors, they help us judge pressure, texture and vibration. They are located in our fingertips, palms, soles of our feet, face, lips and tongue.When we touch something, the mechano-receptors perceive the touch and through a network of nerves, send signals to the brain. This informs the brain about the location of the touch, the amount of force used, and the speed at which it was used.Several different techniques have been tried in the past to create such a robotic hand using three fingers. But this latest design by SoMa copies the human hand. The gripper is made up of flexible materials which grasp on to the thing based on its size and shape. Then air pressure is used to control the movement of the robotic fingers to pick objects safely and without causing damage.The next step would be for the robot to judge how ripe the fruits and vegetables are, and apply pressure accordingly. Members of the research team are currently working on adding computerized vision to the robots, so that they can see what they are gripping.Does all this mean robots can replace people? According to Ocado, it helps improve productivity by removing some of the repetitive tasks done by humans.12. What is focused on in the second paragraph?A. The important role of the touch.B The origin of the touch.C. The process of transporting the touchD. The disappearance of the touch sense13. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A. The brain B The touchC The nerve D. The signal14. What is the special feature of the latest robots?A. It can tell whether the fruits and vegetables are ripe.B. It can see what it is taking hold of.C. It can grasp things according to their shapes and sizes.D. It can take the place of people in workplaces.15. What might be the best title for the text?A. A robot to replace peopleB. A robot working all by itselfC. A robot for making thingsD.A robot with a gentle touch第二部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题中所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。A high school teacher decided to honor all of her students by telling them the difference they each made.
