A boy shivered in the harsh Oslo winter, pathetically wrapping his arms around himself on a bus stop bench. He wasn’t wearing a coat and temperatures in the Norwegian capital regularly plunge to -10C during winter.

A heartbreaking scene, but the actions of the ordinary people who witnessed the difficult situation of 11-year-old Johanne Linnestad Flaaten were both joyous and inspiring.

A young woman sat next to the boy and noticed him rubbing his arms. She immediately asked him, “Don’t you have a jacket?”

“No, someone stole,” he replied. She questioned him and discovered he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop. She asked him the name of his school and where he was from as she selflessly covered her own coat around his shoulders.

Later, another older woman at first gave him her scarf, and then wrapped him in her large padded jacket.

Throughout the day, more and more people offered Johanne their gloves and even the coats off their backs as they waited for their bus.

Johanne’s predicament was a hidden camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children’s Village as part of their winter campaign to gather donations to send much-needed coats and blankets to help Syrian children get through the winter. Many of the refugees have left their homes without winter clothing.

“People should care as much about children in Syria as they care about this boy,” Synne Runnine th information head of SOS Children’s Villages Norway, told The Local. She also noted that the child was a volunteer who was never in any danger during the filming.

4. Why did Johanne Linnestad Flaaten shiver on the bus stop bench?

A. His parents couldn’t afford him a warm coat

B. Someone stole his jacket.

C. He was a volunteer to do an experiment.

D. He was doing an experiment of cold resista

5. The underlined word “predicament” in paragraph 7 means ________.

A. difficult situation B. miserable life

C. inspiring courage D. selfless spirit

6. What do Synne Running’s words imply?

A. People’s care about Johanne is enough.

B. People’s care about children in Syria is not enough.

C. People should care more about children in Syria than they care about Johanne.

D. People should care more about Johanne than they care about children in Syria.

7. What is the best title for the passage?

A. When You Have No Coat in a Harsh Winter

B. When You Face Refugees Crowding into Your Country

C. When You Help Syrian Children without Winter Clothing

D. When You Meet a Boy Wearing No Coat

C

We humans rely on a series of signs to recognize our friends, such as their smiles, their voices, or the way they walk. Biologists have known for several decades that dolphins form close friendships, and that the cetaceans (鲸类) identify friends by their unique whistles. Now new surprising research suggests bottlenose dolphins use their sense of taste to recognize their friends from unrelated dolphins through their urine (小便).

Study leader Jason Bruck, a marine biologist at Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas, didn’t set out to test whether bottlenose dolphins could identify each other through their urine. His original goal was to test whether dolphins use their signature whistles in the same way people rely on names. But to do that, he needed a second way for dolphins to identify each other.

To find out if dolphins could associate a whistle with a specific dolphin, Bruck turned to an unlikely substance: urine. A scientist had previously observed wild dolphins purposefully swimming through urine, leading Bruck to suspect they were gathering information from it.

“It was a shot in the dark,” says Bruck, whose study was published this week in the journal Science Advances. “And I was not expecting it to work, to be honest.”

In experiments using caged dolphins, the team discovered that dolphins paid more attention to their friends’ urine and whistles, suggesting they knew the animals that issued them, he says.

The findings are the first strong evidence of an animal identifying other members of its species using taste. They also show that by using at least two signs to identify individuals, dolphins have a complex understanding of their family and friends—much as humans do.

8. Why did Bruck turn to urine?

A. To show the types of whistles. B. To study dolphins’ swimming styles.

C. To test dolphins’ ability of recognition. D. To protect dolphins’ living conditions.

9. What does Bruck think of his study?

A. It is beyond description. B. It is beyond his expectation.

C. It matches his prediction. D. It goes against previous observation.

10. What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Dolphins can identify their friends by taste.

B. Dolphins show deep love for their friends

C. Cetaceans contribute much to modern science.

D. Cetaceans have much in common with humans.

11. What is the text?

A. A short story. B. A book review.

C. A biologist’s story. D. A science report.

D

Want to help butterflies? A new study suggests turning off the lights.

Light pollution at night can disturb its abilities to recognize directions, researchers have found. Artificial light can disrupt their circadian (昼夜) rhythms and affect their sense of directions. That can make the butterflies disoriented when they try to fly the next day.

“Darkness is important to butterflies since the internal circadian clock of butterflies functions normally when they are exposed to natural day-night lighting cycles,” study author Patrick Guerra, an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati, tells Treehugger.

Monarch butterflies migrate (迁徙) by the millions each year, making the trip from northern areas of the continent to California and Mexico and back. Because most butterflies only live for a few weeks to a few months, it takes several generations of butterflies to complete the migration. But too much light at the wrong time can urge the butterflies to take off when they should be resting instead for their voyage.

“As monarch butterflies are a threatened species with their population numbers in decline, we wanted to see what types of environmental stress might be linked to their decline,” Guerra says.

For their study, researchers conducted lab studies where they reproduced the effects of artificial light pollution with butterflies using a flight simulator (模拟器).

They first tested if monarchs treated a single, artificial light source as if it were the actual sun during the day. Once they established what they did, they then tested how the monarchs would behave when exposed to this same artificial light source during their night.

Butterflies stayed quiet and unmoving when they were first placed in the flight simulator in the dark. But as soon as scientists turned on the light, they started flying. The light made them believe that night was day and this can cause them to fly longer at night or start flying too early.

“These findings demonstrate how urbanization can negatively affect important biological phenomena, and therefore allow us to understand how human activity impacts the rest of nature,” Guerra says.

12. What does the underlined word “disoriented” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Slow down. B. Die off. C. Feel sleepy. D. Get lost.

13. What did the researchers want to find out in the study?

A. Why the monarch butterflies migrate.

B. What reduced the number of monarch butterflies.

C. Why darkness is important to monarch butterflies.

D. How monarch butterflies adapt to the environment.

14. What might be used in the experiment?

A. A flashlight. B. The sun. C. The moon. D. A clock.

15. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Natural Light Is Important to Insects

B. Monarch Butterflies Are in Great Danger

C. Butterflies React Actively to Air Pollution

D. Light Pollution Can Affect Butterfly Migration

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。

I had never been more anxious in my life. I had just spent the last three endless hours trying to get to the airport so that I could travel home. Now, as I watched the bus driver set my luggage on the airport sidewalk, I realized that my anxiety had only just begun.

This was my first visit alone to the international terminal (航站楼) of the airport, and nothing was familiar. I couldn’t make sense of any of the signs. Where was the check-in counter? Where should I take my luggage? I had no idea where to go, feeling as if I were deaf and blind and stupid. I began to panic. What time was it? Where was my plane? I had to find help because I couldn’t be late.

I tried to ask a passing businessman for help, but my words all came out wrong. He just frowned (皱眉) and walked away. What had happened? I had been in this country for a whole semester, and I couldn’t even remember how to ask for directions. This was awful! Another bus arrived at the terminal, and the passengers came out carrying all sorts of luggage. Here was my chance! I could follow them to the right place, and I would not have to say a word.

I carried my heavy suitcase behind me and followed the group. We finally reached the elevators. Oh, no! They all fit in it, but there was not enough room for me. I watched in despair as the elevator doors closed. I was abandoned again! I had no idea what to do next. I got on the elevator when it returned and stared at all the buttons. Which one could it be? I pressed button 3, because I thought I saw those passengers pressed 3, though it was no more than a quick glance. The elevator slowly climbed up to the third floor and came to a stop. There were no check-in counters! I looked around shyly, only to find an elderly man standing at the corner. He was an airport employee.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Tears formed in my eyes as I saw the empty hall and realized that I would miss my plane.
