I sat in the crner f my favrite Bstn bkstre, pened my laptp and wrte. Ten minutes ag I rdered cffee. The server—a yung wman with a brad smile—paused and quietly said, “I just want t tell yu hw much yur TED talk meant t me—hw much it inspired me. A cuple f years ag my prfessr shwed us the vide in a class. Nw I’m applying t medical schl, and I just want yu t knw I std in the bathrm like Wnder Wman befre I tk my MCAT (Medical Cllege Admissin Test), and it really helped. S I just want t say thanks.”
Tears in my eyes, I asked, “What’s yur name?” “Fetaine,” she said.
This kind f interactin happens far mre frequently than I’d ever have imagined: a stranger warmly greets me, shares a persnal stry abut successfully dealing with a big challenge, and then simply thanks me fr my part in it. They’re wmen and men, ld and yung, struggling and wealthy. But smething cnnects them: all have felt pwerless in the face f great pressure and anxiety, and all have discvered a remarkably simple way t release themselves frm that feeling f pwerlessness.
Fr mst authrs, the bk cmes first, then the respnses. Fr me, it was the ther way arund. First, I wrte sme schlarly articles, which n ne ever read; they inspired a talk I delivered at the TED Glbal Cnference in 2012. In it, I discussed research I had dne that yielded an dd and unexpected finding abut hw ur bdies influence ur brains. As a result f this research, I was able t describe a technique—that Wnder Wman-in-the-bathrm thing Fetaine can quickly increase ur cnfidence and decrease ur anxiety in challenging situatins. Immediately after the 21-minute vide f the talk was psted n the Internet, I began hearing frm peple wh had seen it.
Of curse, my speech didn’t magically give Fetaine the knwledge she needed t d well n the MCAT. But it may have released her frm the fear that culd have prevented her frm expressing the things she knew.

Every April 22 peple cme tgether t take actin that will prtect the envirnment. One theme f Earth Day is “Invest (投资) In Our Planet”. S hw is investment in ec-innvatin helping t deliver a mre sustainable future?
When it cmes t the envirnment, it can be argued that the technlgy industry is bth the prblem and the slutin. Tech is respnsible fr between 3.5% and 4% f glbal greenhuse gas emissins (排放物). And the EU believes the Infrmatin and Cmmunicatin Technlgy (ICT) sectr is respnsible fr10% f all electricity cnsumptin. On the ther hand, we all want a sustainable future fr the planet.

The data cllected by these devices help farmers make better decisins abut where t prvide effrt and resurces while reducing the envirnmental ftprint.
As peple’s awareness f envirnmental prtectin cntinues t increase, the tech industry needs t keep wrking n the inventins like thse described abve. These breakthrughs will help us all t d mre with less. Als, tech cmpanies are facing calls t keep their wn huses in rder. Lawmakers and cnsumers want them t use fewer materials in the prductin prcess and rethink their apprach t recycling and waste. The gd news is that gvernments and ec-innvative cmpanies have already carried ut a majr clean-up missin.

In a fascinating discvery, western lwland grillas (大猩猩) at Z Atlanta have been caught summning their keepers using a strange cugh-sneeze mixture, which researchers have called a “snugh”. Only tw ther species have displayed this ability t create new vcalizatins t attract ur attentin: z-hused chimpanzees and rangutans. Nw, we can add grillas t that list.
As many f us knw, Kk put a sptlight n grilla intelligence in the 1980s and 1990s with her incredible ability t cmmunicate with humans using sign language. She was trained and wrked hard at it, but nw it seems grillas have taken it upn themselves t establish unique cmmunicatin with us in their wn way.
Rberta Salmi, a bilgical anthrplgist at the University f Gergia, and clleagues ran an experiment t cnfirm the purpse f the “snugh”, by placing eight f the z’s grillas in three different situatins. In the first, nly the keeper was present; in the secnd nly the fd was present; in the final ne, the keeper was hlding the fd. The fd and keeper were in sight but ut f reach. The grillas invlved used the “snugh” vcalizatin mst when there was a human present with fd, indicating the call is likely an attempt t get the keeper’s attentin.
This cmplex vcal learning — the ability t prduce unique calls — is rare in the animal kingdm and cnfirmed nly in sme species f birds, bats and elephants. But they all d s by imitating. The analysis shwed the grilla’s “snugh” is a unique sund, nt an imitatin — althugh they are certainly capable f imitating us in ther ways.
“These results demnstrate that grillas can change their calls t prduce a nvel sund and furthermre cnfirm that they can prduce their calls and gestures intentinally t change the attentin state f their caregiver,” the team cncluded in their paper. We’ve clearly lng underestimated these clever suls.
12．Which f the fllwing can replace “summning” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. pleasingB. callingC. findingD. warning
13．Hw did the researchers carry ut the research?
A. By rdering the grillas t make the “snugh” vcalizatin.
B. By training the grillas t attract their keepers’ attentin.
C. By cmparing the grillas’ reactins in different situatins.
D. By gathering infrmatin abut the grillas frm their keepers.
14．Why des the authr mentin sme ther animals in paragraph 4?
A. T illustrate grillas can imitate humans in ther ways.
B. T cnfirm nly grillas have the ability t prduce unique calls.
C. T prve the animals can prduce unique calls thrugh imitatin.
D. T shw grillas’ ability t invent the new vcalizatin is uncmmn.
15．What can be inferred frm the research?
A. Sme animals have the ability t make new sunds.
B. Grillas can create a new sund t draw zkeepers’ attentin.
C. Sme intelligent animals try t attract attentin by imitating.
D. Grillas are able t cmmunicate with humans using unique gestures.

The grillas invlved used the “snugh” vcalizatin mst when there was a human present with fd, indicating the call is likely an attempt t get the keeper’s attentin.(罗伯塔·萨尔米（Rberta Salmi）是乔治亚大学的生物人类学家，她和同事进行了一项实验，通过将动物园中的八只大猩猩置于三种不同的情境下来证实“snugh”的作用。第一种情境是只有饲养员在场；第二种是只有食物在场；最后一种是饲养员拿着食物。食物和饲养员都在视线范围内，但无法触及。参与实验的大猩猩在有人拿着食物在场的情况下使用“snugh”发声最多，这表明这种叫声很可能是试图引起饲养员的注意)”可知，研究人员是通过比较大猩猩在不同情况下的反应进行这项研究的。故选C项。
14．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“This cmplex vcal learning—the ability t prduce unique calls—is rare in the animal kingdm and cnfirmed nly in sme species f birds, bats and elephants. But they all d s by imitating. The analysis shwed the grilla’s “snugh” is a unique sund, nt an imitatin—althugh they are certainly capable f imitating us in ther ways.(这种复杂的发声学习——即发出独特叫声的能力——在动物界是罕见的，目前仅在部分鸟类、蝙蝠和大象中得到证实。但它们都是通过模仿来发声的。分析表明，大猩猩的“snugh”是一种独特的声音，而非模仿而来的，尽管它们确实能够以其他方式模仿我们)”可知，作者在本段提到了其他一些动物是为了展示大猩猩发明新发声的能力是不寻常的。故选D项。
15．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段““These results demnstrate that grillas can change their calls t prduce a nvel sund and furthermre cnfirm that they can prduce their calls and gestures intentinally t change the attentin state f their caregiver,” the team cncluded in their paper. We’ve clearly lng underestimated these clever suls.(“这些结果证明了大猩猩可以通过改变自己的叫声来产生新的声音，并进一步证实，它们可以有意识地通过叫声和手势来改变看护者的注意力状态，”研究团队在他们的论文中总结道。长期以来，我们显然低估了这些聪明的灵魂)”可知，大猩猩可以创造一种新的声音来吸引动物园管理员的注意。故选B项。

32．答案：①cnfused②T slve③was jined④suthern⑤which⑥as⑦belnging⑧defense/defence⑨a⑩and
解析：①考查形容词。句意：许多人对这些名字的含义感到困惑：联合王国、大不列颠、英国和英格兰。作表语，表示“困惑的”应填修饰人的形容词cnfused，be cnfused abut“对……感到困惑”是固定短语。故填cnfused。
②考查非谓语动词。句意：为了解决这个难题，人们有必要了解一点英国历史。空处应填不定式作目的状语，位于句首的单词，首字母应大写。故填T slve。
③考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：6世纪，附近的威尔士加入了英格兰王国，18世纪又加入了苏格兰。空处为句子谓语动词，陈述过去的事情，且主语the nearby cuntry f Wales和jin之间为被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是单数，故填was jined。
④考查形容词。句意：最后，在20世纪，爱尔兰南部脱离了英国，形成了今天的全名：“联合王国”或“英国”。修饰名词词组part f Ireland ，应用形容词suthern“南方的”作定语。故填suthern。
⑤考查定语从句。句意：来自英国的人被称为“英国人”，这意味着英国也经常被称为英国或大不列颠。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是整个主句内容，从句缺少主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
⑥考查介词。句意同上。refer t as为固定搭配，意为“把……称作”。故填as。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管属于联合王国的四个国家在某些领域合作，例如使用相同的国旗、共享相同的货币和军事防御，但它们也存在一些不同。分析可知，空处作后置定语，应填非谓语动词，逻辑主语cuntries和belng t之间为主动关系，应用现在分词。故填belnging。
⑧考查名词。句意同上。空处应填名词作宾语，结合句意表示“军事防御”用military defence/defense。故填defence/defense。
⑨考查冠词。句意：无论如何，英国有着悠久而有趣的历史可供探索，这可以帮助你更多地了解这个国家及其传统。histry“历史”在此处是可数名词，“一个……的历史”是常用表达，lng的发音是辅音音素开头，故填a。
⑩考查连词。句意同上。上下文为并列关系，需用连词and连接。故填and。
