Passage （A）
Interactins between peple and elephants have a lng histry.Elephants have been trained and used by human beings fr thusands f years,fr everything frm transprtatin t cnstructin,frm lgging (伐木) t war.
In mre recent times,Asian elephants have been used in entertainment and as a living “machine” t help mve lgs thrugh the jungle as part f the lgging industry.The latter changed in Thailand in 1989,when the Thai gvernment banned lgging.Owners f elephants had very little chice but t turn t turism t earn enugh t care fr themselves and their elephants by ffering elephant riding t turists.
Mahuts are the elephant handlers wh yu will see riding r managing the elephants at any camp yu visit.Traditinally,being a mahut is part f the family business,and a yung family member is matched with a yung elephant,and they spend mst f their lives tgether.The traditinal mahut life isn’t easy.Since they are bnded t their elephant,they rarely have time ff r time fr family.
These years,yunger mahuts in Thailand have been mre likely t leave the mahut life t find jbs in the city,resulting in elephants having t get used t multiple mahuts.This can lead t additinal stress n the elephant,r result in abuse by a mahut trying t manage an elephant that hasn’t built any level f trust with him.
Oppnents f elephant riding may suggest that elephant rides be utlawed.My wrry is that an immediate ban culd lead t anther massive change in hw elephants are treated,similar t ending lgging in 1989.Hw will mahuts that are currently making a living and supprting their elephants thrugh rides be able t cntinue t d s?The average lifespan f an elephant is 60 years.Any slutin needs t take int accunt the lng-term effects n the elephants currently emplyed t give rides.

Passage （B）
Pincchi may be just a character in a children’s fairy tale,but Spanish scientists at the University f Granada recently investigated the s-called “Pincchi effect” and fund that ur nses dn’t grw when we tell a lie,but actually shrink a bit.
Dr Gómez Milán and his team develped a lie detectr test that used thermgraphy (温度记录法) t tell if peple were lying,and fund that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful,the temperature f the tip f their nse drpped up t 1.2℃,while the temperature f their frehead increased up t 1.5℃.Scientists als fund that the temperature drp actually caused the nse t slightly shrink,althugh the difference is undetected by the human eye.
“One has t think in rder t lie,which raises the temperature f the frehead,”Dr Gómez Milán explained the findings.“At the same time we feel anxius,which lwers the temperature f the nse.”
Fr this study,researchers asked 60 students t perfrm varius tasks while their temperature is scanned by thermal imaging(热成像) technlgy.One f these tasks invlved making a 3-t 4-minute call t their parents r a friend and telling a significant lie.Participants had t make up the lie themselves during the call.Interestingly,the thermal lie detectr picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent f the test subjects,which is a better rate f success than that f any mdern lie detectr.
“With this methd we have achieved the increase f accuracy,” said Dr Gómez Milán,wh added that law enfrcement agencies culd ne day cmbine ther lie detectin technlgies with thermal imaging t achieve better results.

A：参考答案
1.A 根据第二段中的“Owners f elephants had very little chice but t turn t turism t earn enugh t care fr themselves and their elephants by ffering elephant riding t turists”可知,1989年泰国大象开始进入旅游业,故A项正确。
2.B 根据第四段中的“yunger mahuts in Thailand have been mre likely t leave the mahut life t find in abuse by a mahut trying t manage an elephant that hasn’t built any level f trust with him”可以推断,造成一些大象受虐待的原因是之前的主人离开了它们,新的主人为了驯服它们而虐待它们,故B项正确。
3.C 通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了大象长久以来和人类生活有密切的联系,但是近年来旅游行业里大象的遭遇令人担忧;另外,根据最后一段作者表述的对应宣布骑大象不合法的建议的看法也可判断,C项最适合作本文的标题。
4.A 结合上题解析可知,全文主要讲述的是旅游业中大象的悲惨遭遇,因此作者写这篇文章主要是为了陈述问题。
B：参考答案
1.D 文章开头提到匹诺曹或许只不过是童话里的一个角色,接着用but转折,讲到西班牙格拉纳达大学的科学家最近对所谓的“匹诺曹效应”进行的调查及其结果。由此可推知,作者在第一段谈到匹诺曹是为了引出本文的话题。故选D项。
2.A 根据第一段中的“but Spanish scientists at the University f Granada recently investigated the s-called ‘Pincchi effect’ and fund that ur nses dn’t grw when we tell a lie,but actually shrink a bit”可知,所谓的“匹诺曹效应”就是当我们撒谎时,我们的鼻子会变长。故选A项。
3.C 根据最后一段的内容可知,Gómez Milán博士认为通过这种方法,他们已经达到了提高准确性的目标,他还认为有朝一日执法机关可以将其他测谎技术与热成像结合起来,以取得更好的效果。由此可推知,Gómez Milán 博士对这款测谎仪很有信心。故选C项。
4.B 根据最后一段中的“wh added that law enfrcement agencies culd ne day cmbine ther lie detectin technlgies with thermal imaging t achieve better results”可知,有朝一日执法机关可以将其他测谎技术与热成像结合起来,由此可推知,让说谎者暴露的方法有很多。故选B项。

E：参考答案：
1.t identify 考查非谓语动词。由短语allw sb.t d sth.可知,用动词不定式作宾语补足语。

8.measures 考查名词复数。由句中的a part f ur可知,用名词复数形式。
9.generally 考查副词。副词修饰动词,disagree是动词,用副词generally修饰。
