阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Community colleges offer low tuition, job-specific training and other benefits. Whether you’re a high school student unsure of which colleges to apply to or someone considering going back to school, there are plenty of reasons to put community colleges on your list.
Lower Costs
The most frequently cited benefit of community colleges is the relatively low cost of attendance. According to data from the College Board, community colleges cost, on average, about one-third of in-state tuition at four-year public universities.
A Path to a Four-year College
Many four-year universities have transfer agreements with local community colleges. These agreements allow students who complete specific requirements to easily transfer into a four-year program at a nearby university. Transfer students can then earn a bachelor’s degree while only having to pay two years of higher tuition.
Flexibility
Community colleges allow for flexible scheduling, making them a particularly good option for older students who are working professionals or parents. Many community colleges also allow high school students to take college-level courses during evenings or weekends.
Workforce Training
Community colleges tend to offer a wide range of career and technical education programs in fields like nursing or firefighting. The highly applied nature of these programs prepares students for entering the workforce. From culinary (烹饪) arts to automobile mechanics, community colleges offer a broad selection of professionalized coursework that four-year universities often do not.
1. Who are most likely to attend community colleges?
A. High school students facing college choices.
B. Adults planning to work at high schools.
C. College students anxious to improve themselves.
D. Professionals eager for college-level courses.
2. Which is thought to be the biggest advantage of community colleges?
A. Lower Costs. B. A Path to a Four-year College.
C. Flexibility. D. Workforce Training.
3. Which of the following can best describe the workforce training programs?
A. Interesting. B. Time-consuming. C. Practical. D. Demanding.
【答案】1. A 2. A 3. C
【解析】

细节理解题。根据Lower Costs部分的“The most frequently cited benefit of community colleges is the relatively low cost of attendance.(最常被提及的社区大学的好处是入学成本相对较低。)”可知，社区大学最大的优势是更低的成本，故选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据Workforce Training部分的“Community colleges tend to offer a wide range of career and technical education programs in fields like nursing or firefighting. The highly applied nature of these programs prepares students for entering the workforce.(社区大学倾向于提供广泛的职业和技术教育课程，如护理或消防等领域。这些课程的高应用性为学生进入职场做好了准备。)”可知，劳动力培训计划是实用的，故选C。
B
Valerie Bolduc is exploring a path under a four-lane highway to fit wildlife cameras, when she gets stuck in the mud. “I am really stuck,” says the road ecology student, trying to pull her feet out of a streambed that travels through the concrete culvert (涵洞) of Quebec Route 117. “I do not want to be a deer going through that.”
Bolduc’s dilemma makes evident the risks for wild animals using the same path.
A warming climate is pushing many animals to migrate toward higher latitudes (纬度) to remain within their desirable environments, but that comes with risks as they cross dangerous areas, such as highways. In eastern Canada, Bolduc and other researchers and conservationists are trying to preserve safe corridors (走廊) for wildlife.
The motion-activated cameras they have brought will record which species are using the tunnels. An outward-facing camera will identify what animals approach but do not enter, perhaps prevented by traffic noise, the tunnel’s size or other factors.
Bolduc explains that this highway running through southern Quebec separates a series of Canadian national and regional parks on either side, along with their animal populations. “It’s super important,” she notes, “because the animals want to move north and they encounter these and then can they move through? Will they get hit by a car? We’ll need to figure that out. And we need to help them, at least I want to help them.”
After finishing fitting their cameras on the northbound side of the highway, Bolduc and her team decide they need an alternate path to the other side to avoid another misfortune in the mud. “We’re generally trying to be safe,” Bolduc says, “but for the animals, this is their life!”
4. What can we learn from Bolduc’s experience of being trapped?
A. It is difficult to fit wildlife cameras.
B. She is out of luck during the exploration.
C. Road conditions of the highway are unexpected.
D. It is dangerous for wild animals to cross this area.
5. What do these animals move to higher latitudes for?
A. Less traffic noise. B. Warmer climate. C. Safe corridors. D. Favorable environments.
6. What function is expected of the wildlife cameras?
A. To record the changes in traffic flow. B. To figure out difficulties wild animals face.
C. To track animals in and around the tunnels. D. To photograph the living environment of wild animals.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. High Tech Protects Wildlife B. Animal Migration Is under Threat
C. Ecologists Fear the Future of Wildlife D. Researchers Seek Paths for Animals to Migrate
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲是Valerie Bolduc及其他研究人员通过安装动态摄像机为动物迁徙寻找路径。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Bolduc’s dilemma makes evident the risks for wild animals using the same path.(Bolduc的两难处境清楚地说明了野生动物走同一条路的风险。)”可知，我们能从博尔达克被困的经历中学到野生动物穿过这个地区是危险的。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“A warming climate is pushing many animals to migrate toward higher latitudes to remain within their desirable environments, but that comes with risks as they cross dangerous areas, such as highways.(气候变暖正迫使许多动物向高纬度地区迁徙，以留在它们理想的环境中，但这也伴随着风险，因为它们要穿过危险的地区，比如高速公路。)”可知，这些动物迁移到高纬度地区是为了有利的环境。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“The motion-activated cameras they have brought will record which species are using the tunnels. An outward-facing camera will identify what animals approach but do not enter, perhaps prevented by traffic noise, the tunnel’s size or other factors.(他们带来的动态摄像机将记录哪些物种正在使用隧道。一个朝外的摄像头将识别哪些动物靠近但没有进入，也许是因为交通噪音、隧道大小或其他因素。)”可知，野生动物摄像机的功能是用来追踪隧道内外的动物。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Valerie Bolduc is exploring a path under a four-lane highway to fit wildlife cameras, when she gets stuck in the mud.(瓦莱丽·博尔达克正在四车道高速公路下探索一条小路，以便安装野生动物摄像机，这时她被困在了泥里。)”和第三段的“In eastern Canada, Bolduc and other researchers and conservationists are trying to preserve safe corridors for wildlife.(在加拿大东部，Bolduc和其他研究人员以及自然资源保护主义者正在努力为野生动物保护安全的走廊。)”可知，本文主要讲的是Valerie Bolduc及其他研究人员通过安装动态摄像机为动物迁徙寻找路径，因此最好的题目是D选项“Researchers Seek Paths for Animals to Migrate(研究人员为动物迁徙寻找路径)”，故选D。
C
Covered in lush fur, the thickest in the animal kingdom, sea otters (海獭) can live their entire lives in the ocean, feeding heavily upon seafloor animals such as shellfish. They are often seen to eat clams(蛤), which bury themselves in meadows of eelgrass (大叶藻场), a wide-ranging plant species growing in water. Eelgrass meadows where sea otters dig for clams become partly bare, which is commonly a concern for ecologists.
As it turns out, the meadows with otters are healthier, with more eelgrass, according to a new study published in Science. That's because by gently disturbing the seabed, the otters make the plants flower and produce seeds. What's more, their digging provides more space and sunlight for seeds to settle and grow. The enhanced genetic diversity caused by sea otters could make eelgrass more adaptable to present and future threats.
The finding is a powerful example of how animals such as otters influence their ecosystems beyond predation (捕食), often in unseen and little-known ways, says study leader Erin Foster, a research associate at the Hakai Institute. It also means sea otters, an endangered species, are vital to their environments and give eelgrass, which is in danger worldwide, a better chance at staying healthy and surviving.
Seagrass habitats are also important for many fish, providing food for animals, absorbing, and filtering harmful pollution and bacteria from the water. "Genetic diversity typically strengthens the adaptability of species, and considering the challenges we're facing…this will be important for eelgrass meadows, and from this aspect, the impact the otters are having deserves our lasting concern," says Foster.
8. What do we know about sea otters?
A. They live part of their lives underwater. B. They mainly feed on sea animals like fish.
C. They eat clams beneath eelgrass meadows. D. They become a new concern for ecologists.
9. How does the author develop paragraph 2?
A. By giving opinions. B. By presenting reasons.
C. By clarifying concepts. D. By comparing results.
10. Why does the author mention the endangered condition of eelgrass?
A. To provide examples of sea otters' predation.
B. To show the urgency to protect the environment.
C. To highlight the role of otters in their ecosystems.
D. To warn against the potential risk of climate change.
11. What does Foster think of the impact otters have on underwater meadows?
A. Overestimated. B. Noteworthy. C. Temporary. D. Unpredictable.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述海獭，一种濒危物种，对它们的环境至关重要，并给全世界处于危险中的鳗草提供了更好的保持健康和生存的机会。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“They are often seen to eat clams, which bury themselves in meadows of eelgrass, a wide-ranging plant species growing in water. (人们经常看到它们吃蛤蜊，蛤蜊把自己埋在鳗草草甸中，鳗草是一种广泛生长在水中的植物。)”可知，海獭吃在鳗草下面的蛤蜊。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段“As it turns out, the meadows with otters are healthier, with more eelgrass, according to a new study published in Science. That's because by gently disturbing the seabed, the otters make the plants flower and produce seeds. What's more, their digging provides more space and sunlight for seeds to settle and grow. The enhanced genetic diversity caused by sea otters could make eelgrass more adaptable to present and future threats.(根据发表在《科学》上的一项新研究，事实证明，有水獭的草地更健康，有更多的鳗草。这是因为水獭通过轻轻搅动海床，使植物开花并产生种子。更重要的是，他们的挖掘为种子的定居和生长提供了更多的空间和阳光。海獭导致的遗传多样性增强可能使鳗草更适应当前和未来的威胁。)”可知，文章第二段先给出结论As it turns out, the meadows with otters are healthier, with more eelgrass，后面再说明原因，所以第二段是通过给原因来论证的。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“ It also means sea otters, an endangered species, are vital to their environments and give eelgrass, which is in danger worldwide, a better chance at staying healthy and surviving.(这也意味着海獭，一种濒危物种，对它们的环境至关重要，并给全世界处于危险中的鳗草提供了更好的保持健康和生存的机会。)”可知，作者提到濒危的鳗草是为了突出海獭对生态系统的作用。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“ "Genetic diversity typically strengthens the adaptability of species, and considering the challenges we're facing…this will be important for eelgrass meadows, and from this aspect, the impact the otters are having deserves our lasting concern," says Foster.(Foster说：“基因多样性通常会增强物种的适应性，考虑到我们面临的挑战……这对鳗草草地非常重要，从这个角度来看，海獭的影响值得我们长期关注。”。)”可知，Foster对海獭是水草的影响是值得我们长期关注的。A.Overestimated高估的；B.Noteworthy值得关注的； C.Temporary短暂的； D.Unpredictable不可预知的。故选B项。
D
Some scientists have traced the increase in earthquakes, especially in areas not known for the presence of fault lines or past seismic (地震的) activity, to human actions. The idea of humans causing earthquakes may seem strange at first. After all, you can run around your backyard and jump up and down as you want, and the ground isn’t going to start shaking. However, scientists have identified a variety of large scale human activities that can result in earthquakes.
Scientists have confirmed over 700 places where human activities have caused earthquakes over the last century. While many human-related earthquakes are mild and don’t cause much damage, some of them can be serious and dangerous. In fact, scientists believe human activity has caused earthquakes with magnitudes as high as 7.9 on the Richter scale.
Scientists believe most human-related earthquakes are the result of mining. As companies drill deeper and deeper below Earth’s surface to get natural resources, holes left behind can cause instability that leads to collapses that cause earthquakes. Another human activity leading to earthquakes is fracking (水力压裂) for oil and gas, including the high pressure waste water processing that usually goes with fracking. In this process, water, sand and chemicals are pressed underground under high pressure to break rocks to release natural resources.
Building large dams can also cause earthquakes. For example, about 80, 000 people died in China in 2008 as a result of a 7.9-magnitude earthquake caused by 320 million tons of water that had been collected in the Zipingpu Reservoir after a large dam was built over a known fault line.
These aren’t the only human activities that can result in earthquakes, though. Scientists point out that earthquakes can also be caused by other human activities, such as construction of skyscrapers and nuclear explosions.
12. What does the underlined part “fault lines” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Regions with active human actions. B. Places associated with natural balance.
C. Zones where natural resources are rich. D. Areas where earthquakes tend to happen.
13. What do mining and oil producing have in common?
A. They break the balance of nature. B. They destroy the stability of rocks.
C. They use high pressure to get resources. D. They do much damage to Earth’s surface.
14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. The 2008 earthquake is the worst in history. B. Construction of dams should be stopped.
C. Tons of water must cause earthquakes. D. The location of a dam matters much.
15. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Nature punishes humans by means of earthquakes. B. Progress has been made on earthquake research.
C. Humans are to blame for some earthquakes. D. Earthquakes are no longer nature-made.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍的是一些地震是人类活动造成的，并介绍了哪些人类活动会造成地震。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线短语句中“past seismic (地震的) activity”(过去的地震活动)和“to human actions”(人类行为)可知，科学家追踪的是由人类活动引起的地震，而不是一些容易发生地震的地区，“or”前后的“fault lines”和“past seismic (地震的) activity”为选择关系，由此可知，“fault lines”指的也是一些容易发生地震的地区。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“As companies drill deeper and deeper below Earth’s surface to get natural resources, holes left behind can cause instability that leads to collapses that cause earthquakes.”(随着公司在地球表面下越来越深地钻探以获取自然资源，留下的洞可能导致不稳定，导致崩塌，引发地震。)可知，采矿留下的洞可能导致岩石不稳定，引发地震；再根据第三段关键句“In this process, water, sand and chemicals are pressed underground under high pressure to break rocks to release natural resources.”(在这个过程中，水、沙子和化学物质在高压下被压入地下，以破碎岩石，释放自然资源。)可知，石油生产使用的高压破碎岩石，导致岩石不稳定，引发地震，由此可知，采矿和石油生产的共同点在于它们破坏了岩石的稳定性。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容“Building large dams can also cause earthquakes. For example, about 80, 000 people died in China in 2008 as a result of a 7.9-magnitude earthquake caused by 320 million tons of water that had been collected in the Zipingpu Reservoir after a large dam was built over a known fault line.”(建造大型水坝也会引起地震。例如，2008年，中国发生了7.9级地震，造成约8万人死亡。这场地震是由于紫坪铺水库在一条已知断层线上修建了一座大型水坝后，收集了3.2亿吨水造成的。)可知，紫坪铺水库在一条已知断层线上修建了一座大型水坝，引发了地震，由此可知，大坝的位置非常重要，不应该建在断层线上。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段关键句“Scientists have confirmed over 700 places where human activities have caused earthquakes over the last century.”(科学家们已经确认了上个世纪人类活动造成地震的700多个地方。)可知，本文主要介绍的是一些地震是人类活动造成的，并介绍了哪些人类活动会造成地震，“Humans are to blame for some earthquakes”意为“有些地震是人类造成的”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。

Once there was a girl named Vivian who was the only child of her father. Her father was a big and successful businessman who owned seven star restaurants. He did everything only for his daughter.
Vivian was sent to the best university abroad. Although she had everything, the only thing she never owned was respect of other people.
When Vivian came back after her graduation and her father asked her to join his company as an accountant, she was naturally not happy with that. She wanted to work in a higher post but her father wanted her to start as an ordinary girl.
“Dad, I studied in the most outstanding university abroad and got a better education than any of the employees who work under you. Still, you want me to work under them?" said Vivian unhappily.
Vivian's father looked at her with a smile on his face. Vivian was annoyed by her father's reaction but she agreed to work as an accountant in the end.
After some months, there was an emergency situation in the company.One of the restaurants was short of employees because of a sudden resignation (辞职），so they were short on people to do other chores around the place and cook food fast. Vivian's father asked her to help that restaurant with him and the other employees.
When she entered the restaurant, she was hit by the air of tension around the employees. Everybody was busy doing something or other and there was a mess around the restaurant. When she went in the back of the kitchen, she saw a tower of unwashed dishes.
Her father neared her in a hurry and asked her, “Vivian, thank goodness, you are here. Darling, will you please help us and do the dishes?" He patted her on her shoulder and left her to do the dishes.
She looked at the dirty plates and spoons that were piled up before her

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “I didn't study my whole life and come first in everything to do this!” Vivian thought. She was down in the dumps and left the kitchen. But after a while she heard her father saying, “Vivian, sweetheart, you didn’t do the dishes? Go on, do it.” But Vivian ignored him deliberately. Her father looked at her in confusion but then he realized why his daughter was behaving like this. Obviously he was aware of his daughter’s thinking. So, he started making his way towards the back of the kitchen.
Vivian’s father picked up the gloves, put them on and started doing the dishes himself. “Dad, what are you doing? You are not an ordinary employee!” said Vivian. “Darling, I have always been an ordinary man. I worked hard for you just as these employees’ parents must have done,” her father replied. Vivian was overcome with regret and took the gloves off his hands immediately. “You are not seriously thinking that I am going to let you do these without offering my help?” Vivian said and then they both laughed.
