Bees see, bees do. At least that’s the conclusion of research published earlier this month in the journal PLOS Biology, showing that bumblebees learn to solve problems by watching each other.

In the first study of its kind in insects, scientists constructed experiments that challenged bees to pull strings in order to access rewards of nectar(花蜜).

The scientists hoped their study would throw light on a bigger picture: how social learning spreads through a population.

In the study, Lars Chittka from Queen Mary University of London and his team made artificial flowers and filled them with artificial nectar made of sugar water. They put the flowers under a clear type of plastic and attached a string.

Then they added bees. While most of the insects failed to reach the nectar, a few eventually figured out how to access it, by pulling the string.

The team discovered that they could greatly increase the success rate of the bees by first placing them inside a transparent(透明的)box where they could observe an experienced bee pull the string.

Then, when the boxed bees were released, they often knew what to do and successfully pulled the string to obtain nectar.

Next, the researchers added a bee that was experienced in string pulling to each of three new groups that had never seen the experiment before. Within a short time, about half of all those bees were soon pulling the strings. That result suggests the learned behavior could spread from bee to bee, similar to the way cultural ideas spread in other animals, including people.

The experiment suggests that social learning may be more widespread in the animal kingdom than people previously thought.

28. What happened after the bee pulled the string?

A. It got nectar.     B. It found water.      C. It joined others.     D. It saw flowers.

29. What did the boxed bees do after being set free?

A. They flew back to the box.                B. They flew directly to the rewards.

C. They imitated(模仿)the experienced bee.     D. They watched the experienced bee work.

30. Why was an experienced bee added to new bee groups?

A. To keep the bees' interest.               B. To carry the experiment further.

C. To watch the process of string pulling.     D. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.

31. What does the study find?

A. Most animals create their own cultures.

B. Strings are particularly attractive to bees.

C. Animals may have good social learning ability.

D. Bumblebees may be smarter than other bee species.

D

It's 6A.M., and the alarm clock is ringing earlier than usual. It's not a malfunction(故障):the smart clock scanned your schedule and adjusted because you've got that big presentation first thing in the morning. The electric car is ready to go, charged by the solar panels on your roof. When you get home later, there’s an unexpected package waiting. You open it to find cold medicine. Turns out, health sensors embedded(嵌入)in your bathroom detected signs of an upcoming illness and placed an order automatically.

That, at least, is the ideal design of the smart home that exists 10 years out. But a decade from now, we'll dip into the Internet of Things(IoT) totally.

A range of technological developments will drive smart-home technology well beyond what’s available on store shelves today. Innovations in AI stand to change almost everything in our lives. You might already be using some kind of AI-powered voice-assistant device to get the latest news or weather forecast every morning. IoT company Crestron, for example, is working on software that follows a person's habits, like which music they want to hear in the morning or which lights they want to be on at a certain time of day. Then, once it gets the hang of a user’s preferences, it automatically plays just the right playlists or makes the lights less bright before bedtime.

All this learning that the smart home of the future will be doing may raise privacy concerns. In 2016, hackers took over hundreds of thousands of secure IoT devices, then used them to send fake Internet traffic, the incident broke Internet connections for a moment throughout parts of North America and Europe. A bill put forth by Virginia Senator Mark Warner would push the government to set up minimum security requirements for smart devices used by federal agencies; such requirements could eventually become standard for the industry at large.

You're more likely than not to end up in a connected home one day, whether you mean to or not. Ultimately, people will come to see smart-home technology as essential as electricity, refrigeration or air-conditioning. People will rely on it.

32. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?

A. To reveal people's busy life in ten years.

B. To display pollution-free homes in ten years.

C. To show how people will cure illness in the future.

D. To describe how smart the home can be in the future.

33. What can Al do in the future?

A. Push your preferences towards green living.

B. Play your favorite songs with voice control.

C. Provide the latest news and weather automatically.

D. Make home devices function according to your habits.

34. What does the author want to tell us by the event in 2016?

A. The IoT devices were of low quality.

B. The government made a law because of it.

C. Security problems from smart devices were urgent.

D. Hackers were common in North America and Europe.

35. What does the author think about the smart home in the future?

A. It's electrical and reliable.           B. It's attractive and necessary.

C. It will not need much designing.      D. It will not be affected by evil hackers.

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE

Last year, the National Park Service (NPS) marked its 100th anniversary with a year-long celebration.   36   . It recognized the preservation and protection of the 417 park service units. Now that those festivities have wrapped up, it’s time to look toward what the next 100 years might look like for the nation’s parks. Here’s a look at some of the major issues facing the nation s parks now and over the next century.

   37   . For example, at Shenandoah National Park, park officials note that rising temperatures in streams have already impacted native fish. They are also concerned that climate change will lead to more droughts, floods and wildfires. At Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California, park officials are predicting heat waves, coastal flooding and habitat destruction in response to climate change.

Visitors behave badly. Today, visitors still aim to make their mark on the natural and cultural resources.   38   . But the NPS now has its own branch of law enforcement(执法)officials who are tasked with protecting those resources for and often from park visitors.

There is maintenance backlog(积压).   39   . But the donations may drop sharply and raise the possibility of handing the parks over to private corporations. With budget shortfalls and maintenance at all-time highs, it's likely that these sorts of partnerships will only become more likely in the future.

Despite some major concerns, the future of the NPS looks promising. With a renewed level of interest, and the help of some corporate donations, the parks will be protected for the next century.   40   .

A. Climate change will affect all parks

B. Yellowstone National Park deserves a visit

C. The NPS took a look back at the last century

D. The maintenance burden will be removed soon

E. And they may look different in the next 100 years

F. Those are protected by the National Park Service as they did years ago

G. At the moment, donations from private corporations are limited to signs and certain exhibits

第二节(满分25分)

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I was eight years old my seven-year-old cousin, Juliana, got sick. My brother and I were in the family room watching television when my mom came in to tell us the bad news. I wasn’t really sure what a heart operation meant, but I could tell it wasn’t a good thing. Juliana's family was on a tight budget(预算), so was mine. My parents' faces were full of worry and tears, and that was enough to make me cry, too.

When we went to see Juliana in the hospital, she was lying in bed, and she had tubes(管子)and other things hooked to her. It was confusing and scary.

The treatments continued, but Juliana was weaker and weaker. Every time I visited her, it was hard for me to believe her change. She seemed to lose all her strength and her lovely face turned pale. She lost a lot of weight even though she had proper food. As a child, I really couldn’t understand what the doctors were doing to her-it seemed like they were making her feel worse not better.

Seeing my cousin in so much pain made me feel like my own heart was aching. Something needed to be done. I knew I wanted to help her get better faster, but at eight years old, I wasn’t sure how I could make a difference-I just knew I had to do something to help her.

One night after we visited Juliana, all the way home I couldn't stop thinking about her. A hospital can be a very scary, cold place. I imagined how lonely Juliana must have felt lying there during the night.

When we got home, I sat down at our kitchen table. I always liked writing stories and drawing pictures, and I started working at it like I had done so many other nights. But this night was different-I was thinking about Juliana. I thought, "Juliana is going to receive rehabilitation training(康复训练)but money is tight. What if I can sell my drawings? Then I can raise money to help her get well faster."

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

When I told my parents, they thought it was a wonderful idea, but then we came up with an even better one.

Soon, we made enough money to pay for Juliana's rehabilitation training.
