Growing up on a farm,I learned from my parents about the large bees we called mangangava.But incollege,when I gave a presentation about those bees,I didn't mention their familiar name;instead I usedformal terms when describing their adaptations for pollinating(投粉)。I was afraid of being judged forexpressing my personal knowledge in a science class.But when the instructor pressed me to tell the classwhether I'd seen the bees myself and what I called them,my views and my whole career path began to change.I realized my background was valuable,and that my calling was to help educate others like me.

My parents worked on a small farm and I often helped out when I was not in school.They had a closerelationship with nature,something they learned from my grandparents and passed down to me.This waswhy I became interested in biology.

In college,I joined a series of labs to gain research experience,but my interest in pursuing a career as ascientist began to wane after I realized my research was not helping poor people like my parents.As a blackstudent from a rural community,I also felt out of place in most classes.The feeling of not belonging circledin my head.I sometimes thought about giving up.

My instructor's request that I share my knowledge of the mangangava bee changed my view.She sawthat tapping into my personal experiences would help me grasp the scientific concepts.No other professorhad shown that kind of sensitivity,which helped me realize I did have a place in higher education and that Ididn't need to hide who I truly am.I'm now a master's student in education,working on a project that exploresthe connection between science and traditional knowledge.

I don't think I'd be here if I hadn't crossed paths with my instructor.We need more educators andscientists like her-people who can serve as role models and know that the best way to develop new scientistsis to allow students to be themselves.

24.What did the author initially think of his background when in college?

A.It wasn't adequate for his college studies.

B.It motivated him to carry on his research.

C.It was something he wanted to hide.

D.It gave him an advantage over others.

25.What does the underlined word“wane"in paragraph3 probably mean?

A.fadeB.shapeC.maintainD.rise

26.What should a good educator do according to the author?

A.To value students'personal knowledge and views.

B.To be equipped with rich knowledge of a certain field.

C.To treat students from different backgrounds equally.

D.To inspire students to work as hard as he or she does.

27.What can you infer from the passage?

A.The author became a scientist later,exploring mangangava bees.

B.His instructor had a profound impact on the author in his future development.

C.His tutor's request changed the author's view so that he got a high education.

D.The author intended to give up his dream only because of his poor parents.

Past surveys have shown that more than 80%of dog owners report observing jealous behaviors fromtheir dogs when they give attention to other dogs.A new research published in the journal PsychologicalScience supports these observations and finds that dogs also exhibit jealous behaviors when they merelyimagine that their owner is interacting with a potential opponent.

To test how and when dogs display jealous behavior,Bastos and her colleagues with the University ofAuckland presented 18 dogs with situations where they could imagine a social interaction between theirhuman companion and either a realistic fake dog or a fleece cylinder(羊毛圆筒). The fake dog served as apotential opponent for attention while the cylinder served as a control.In the experiment,the dogs observedthe fake-dog opponent positioned next to their owner.A barrier was then placed between the dog and thepotential opponent.Despite blocking the line of sight,the dogs forcefully attempted to reach their ownerswhen they appeared to pat the fake dog gently behind the barrier.In a repeat experiment using a fleececylinder,the dogs pulled on the lead with far less force.

Through their study,Bastos and her colleagues found that dogs showed jealous behavior only when theirowner interacted with a social opponent instead of an object;even for an out-of-sight interaction betweentheir owner and a social opponent.

"These results support claims that dogs display jealous behavior.They also provide the first evidencethat dogs can mentally represent jealousy-inducing social interactions,"said Bastos.“There is still plenty ofwork to do to establish the extent of the similarities between the minds of humans and other animals,especially in terms of understanding the nature of nonhuman animals'emotional experiences,"said Bastos."It is too early to say whether dogs experience jealousy as we do,but it is now clear that they react to jealousy-inducing situations,even if these occur out-of-sight."

28.Why does the author mention the new research in Psychological Science?

A.To make a comparison.B.To make a prediction.

C.To provide an example.D.To introduce the topic.

29.The new study focused on whether dogs will ______________.

A.distinguish a potential opponent from a control

B.imagine the interaction between their owner and a opponent

C.display their jealousy when their owners give attention to an artificial dog

D.observe jealous behaviors when their owners give attention to other dogs

30.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A.How the experiment was carried out.

B.What a realistic dog and a fleece cylinder do.

C.Why dogs pull on the lead with different forces.

D.What role a fake dog played in the experiment.

31.Which of the following statement might Bastos agree with?

A.It's obvious that dogs experience jealousy as humans do.

B.It's easy to establish the similarities between humans and other animals.

C.Only dogs show jealousy when their owner is staying with a social opponent.

D

Compared with the obvious environmental issues we hear about every day littering often takes abackseat-but it's more pressing than we may think.

Some may say that a banana peel out of your car along the motorway would be a harmless action.Actually,they are wrong.A banana peel can take up to two years to decompose(分解)，and with a third ofmotorists admitting to littering while driving,that's a whole lot of discarded banana peels,or much worse.An orange peel and a cigarette butt has a similar biodegrading(生物降解)term to that of a banana,but tinand aluminium cans last up to 100 years,and plastic bottles last forever,so do glass bottles and plastic bags.

Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals forlonger,we can't only measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime.For example,despitehaving a fairly short biodegrading span,more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is thrown away in theUK every day.Similarly,our regular littering here and there has caused the UK's mouse population toincrease by 60 million.This suddenly isn't so mysterious when you consider that since the 1960s our annuallittering has increased by an amazing 500 per cent.

It's not a cheap habit either:UK taxpayers spent 500 million on keeping the streets clean.So,it's notsurprising that if caught fly-tipping,you could face a 20,000 fine.Regardless of how severe thepunishment might seem,however,among the reported cases only 2,000 were punished out of 825,000,so westill have some way to go in making sure people observe the rules.

To take back our beautiful cities,we need to do more than simply not leaving rubbish where it ought notto be.We need to care more about the world around us.

32.Which of the following is easiest to decompose comparatively?

A.An orange peel.B.A plastic bag.

C.An aluminium can.D.A glass bottle.

33.What can we know from Para.3?

A.Annual littering has increased a little in UK since the 1960s.

B.Shorter-lasting materials will be less harmful to the environment.

C.Cigarette-related litter is a severe environmental problem in UK.

D.Regular littering has caused the UK's mouse population to reach 60 million.

34.Which of the following can best describe UK's punishment on littering according to Para.4?

A.Every little helps.B.A drop in the bucket.

C.No pains,no gains.D.More haste,less speed.

35.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Rubbish collection,an urgent task.

B.Environment issue,a big concern.

C.Littering,a surprisingly big issue.

D.Long-lasting material,a hidden danger

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

When communicating with others,we often focus on what we should say.However,effectivecommunication is less about talking and more about listening. If your goal is to fully understand and connectwith the other person,listening in an engaged way will often come naturally. __36__ The more you practicethem,the more satisfying and rewarding your interactions with others will become.

Focus fully on the speaker.

You can't listen in an engaged way if you're constantly checking your phone or thinking about somethingelse.You need to stay focused on the moment-o-moment experience in order to pick up the subtle(细微的)differences and important nonverbal cues in a conversation.If you find it hard to concentrate on somespeakers,try repeating their words over in your head. __37__

Avoid interrupting or trying to redirect the conversation to your concerns.

By saying something like,"If you think that's bad, let me tell you what happened to me." __38__ Youcan't concentrate on what someone's saying if you're forming what you're going to say next.Often,thespeaker can read your facial expressions and know that your mind's elsewhere.

__39__

In order to communicate effectively with someone,you don't have to like them or agree with their ideas,values,or opinions.However,set aside your judgment and withhold blame and criticism to fully understandthem.The most difficult communication,when successfully made,can often lead to an unlikely connectionwith someone.

Provide feedback.

If there seems to be a disconnect,reflect what has been said by paraphrasing.“What I'm hearing is,"or"Sounds like you are saying,"are great ways to reflect back.Don't simply repeat what the speaker has saidverbatim,though-you'll sound insincere or unintelligent. __40__ Ask questions to clarify certain points:"What do you mean when you say..."or "Is this what you mean?"

A.Try to set aside judgment.

B.Try to be connected with someone.

C.If it doesn't,try the following tips.

D.It'll reinforce their message and help you stay focused.

E.Instead,express what the speaker's words mean to you.

F.Listening is not the same as waiting for your turn to talk.

When I was young,I lived in a small village in Melaka.The spirit of neighborliness was very strongthen.The village had a variety of trades to serve the needs of the villagers.There was a barber,tailor,coffeeshop owner,grocer,and so on.All of us were quite poor but we got by.However,one family which could beconsidered as living a marginal existence was the Lim family living in the bicycle shop opposite our dwelling.

Mr.Lim,the bicycle mechanic,had a large brood of children-welve to be exact.My mother was akind-hearted soul.Often,she would remark that his children were dressed in ragged clothes and lookedmalnourished(营养不良的).My family was relatively better off in the village.My parents would bring overwhatever food we could spare to the Lim family.

I remember one particular year when times were very hard.Even my family had to make do with twomeals a day.We stopped the practice of giving food to Mr.Lim.One day,I noticed my mother lookingtroubled.She had learned that the Lim family hadnot been eating for the past two days.She decided tosacrifice a portion of our meals to the family despite the protests(抗议)from my brothers that were toohungry.Fortunately,the lean spell(困难时期)did not last long,and the children in our family resumed ourthree meals a day again.

As time went on,the number of customers at Lim's shop had increased rapidly.Business at his shoptook off like a rocket as Japanese bikes were very useful and popular for transport.They were much betteroff than before.

It was at this time that my father's health was worsening.We were confused by the mysterious illnesshe was suffering from.Because of lack of attention to his provision shop(食品店)，the business becameworse.My father then sold our family car to pay off the mounting bills.My brothers and I had to stopschooling because we could not afford the fees.
