Like many new graduates, I left university full f hpe fr the future but with n real idea f what I wanted t d. My degree, with hnrs, in English literature had nt really prepared me fr anything practical. I knew I wanted t make a difference in the wrld smehw, but I had n idea hw t d that. That’s when I learned abut the Lighthuse Prject.
I started my jurney as a Lighthuse Prject vlunteer by reading as much as I culd abut the experiences f previus vlunteers. I knew it wuld be a lt f hard wrk, and that I wuld be away frm my family and friends fr a very lng time. In shrt, I did nt take my decisin t apply fr the Lighthuse Prject lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, hwever, I wn the supprt f my family, and I sent in all the paperwrk needed fr the applicatin. After cuntless interviews and presentatins, I managed t stand ut amng the candidates and survive the test alne. Several mnths later, I finally received a call asking me t reprt fr duty. I wuld be ging t a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had n idea. But I was abut t find ut.
After cmpleting my training, I was sent t the village that was small and desperately in need f prper accmmdatin. Thugh the lcal villagers were pr, they ffered their hmes, fd, and hearts as if I were their wn family. I was asked t lead a small team f lcal peple in building a new schlhuse. Fr the next year r s, I taught in that same schlhuse. But I smetimes think I learned mre frm my students than they did frm me.
Smetime during that perid, I realized that all thse things that had seemed s strange r unusual t me n lnger did, thugh I did nt get anywhere with the lcal language, and returned t the United States a different man. The Lighthuse Prject had changed my life frever.

Drught is an increasing prblem in ur warming wrld. All cntinents have been experiencing mre extended perids withut rain, leading t frest fires and pr crp grwth. Cnsequently, peple are lking at clud seeding t slve the prblem — a methd f encuraging precipitatin (降水) by sending small particles f certain chemicals int cluds.
Clud-seeding expert Arlen Huggins has been studying its effectiveness. “My earliest experience was t use clud seeding t reduce the amunt f hail (冰雹) in nrtheast Clrad. We didn’t have any luck with that, but we had success later n in increasing snwfall in Utah. Nw, the fcus is shifting twards increasing rainfall frm summer cluds, which is far mre unpredictable.” said he.
The prblem is that it’s pretty hard t knw whether precipitatin resulted directly frm clud seeding. It might have rained r snwed anyway. Even if yu practice clud seeding in ne place and dn’t in anther, it’s impssible t knw fr sure what caused the precipitatin. “As clud seeding is expensive and its effectiveness uncertain, its usefulness is still a matter f pinin,” says Katja Friedrich, a researcher f University f Clrad.
Additinally, it’s nt during fggy and snwy cnditins that peple think f increasing the chance f rainfall. When a cuntry is hit by drught, then clud seeding isn’t an ptin due t the lack f cluds. During drught, skies tend t be clear with few cluds. The best ptin t prevent drught is t seed at times f the year when rainfall levels are nrmal r higher.
There are als envirnmental issues regarding the impact f clud seeding. At high levels, the chemicals sent int the cluds can harm humans and ther animals, and sme studies have fund them slightly pisnus. Apart frm that, sme envirnmentalists are cncerned abut the lng-term impacts, as there isn’t data n hw much thse chemicals accumulate in the envirnment ver 10 years.
28. What is the purpse f clud seeding?
A. T increase grain utput.
B. T slw dwn glbal warming.
C. T reduce chemicals in the air.
D. T deal with dry and rain-free weather.
29. Hw is Arlen Huggins’ earliest experience in Paragraph 2?
A. It’s effective.B. It’s unsuccessful.
C. It’s satisfying.D. It’s fruitful.
30. What is Katja Friedrich’s attitude twards clud seeding?
A. Favurable.B. Oppsed.
C. Unclear.D. Dubtful.
31. What can be inferred frm the text?
A. Drught currently pses the nly t hreat t frests and crps.
B. Rainmaking in any weather will cme true in the near future.
C. Researchers nw can nt tell if rainfall is brught by clud seeding.
D. Chemicals sent int the cluds will becme less pisnus ver time.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了干旱成为全球变暖环境下的一个严重问题，而“人工降雨”被认为是解决干旱问题的一种方法。然而，人工降雨的效果难以确定，并且存在环境问题和水资源分配问题。因此，虽然云雾处理可能会在一些条件下对缓解干旱有一定益处，但其实用性和可行性仍有待讨论。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Drught is an increasing prblem in ur warming wrld. All cntinents have been experiencing mre extended perids withut rain, leading t frest fires and pr crp grwth. Cnsequently, peple are lking at clud seeding t slve the prblem—a methd f encuraging precipitatin(降水) by sending small particles f certain chemicals int cluds.(在我们日益变暖的世界里，干旱是一个日益严重的问题。所有大陆都经历了更长时间的无雨期，导致森林火灾和作物生长不良。因此，人们正在研究人工增雨来解决这个问题——一种通过将某些化学物质的小颗粒送入云层来鼓励降水的方法。)”可知，人工降雨是为了能应对干旱无雨的天气。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“My earliest experience was t use clud seeding t reduce the amunt f hail (冰雹) in nrtheast Clrad. We didn’t have any luck with that, but we had success later n in increasing snwfall in Utah. Nw, the fcus is shifting twards increasing rainfall frm summer cluds, which is far mre unpredictable.(我最早的经验是在科罗拉多州东北部使用播云来减少冰雹的数量。我们运气不好，但后来我们在犹他州的降雪量不断增加的情况下取得了成功。现在，焦点正转向夏季云层带来的降雨量增加，这一点更不可预测。)”可知， Arlen Huggins 最初是想用人工降雨的方法来减少美国科罗拉多州北部下冰雹的数量，遗憾的是运气不好，即失败了。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As clud seeding is expensive and its effectiveness uncertain, its usefulness is still a matter f pinin,(由于播云成本高昂，其有效性也不确定，因此其有用性仍有待商榷，)”可知， Katja Friedrich认为人工降雨的做法代价高且效果不确定，是有待商榷的，即对其是持怀疑态度的。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The prblem is that it’s pretty hard t knw whether precipitatin resulted directly frm clud seeding. It might have rained r snwed anyway. Even if yu practice clud seeding in ne place and dn’t in anther, it’s impssible t knw fr sure what caused the precipitatin. (问题是，很难知道降水是否直接来自云层播种。不管怎样，可能已经下雨或下雪了。即使你在一个地方练习播云，而在另一个地方不练习，也不可能确切地知道是什么导致了降水。)”可知，研究人员现在无法判断降雨是否是由云层播种带来的。故选C项。

What des it mean t be intelligent? If it’s defined by having the biggest brain, then sperm whales (抹香鲸) — whse brain is 20 punds — wuld be the brightest creatures n Earth. But, mre likely, it’s hw a brain is wired. Viewed in this way, intelligence is what gives an rganism the best chance t survive in an envirnment. Language may be ne f the best ways t demnstrate that kind f smarts.
“Language allwing humans t be a mre advanced species is a hypthesis that smebdy came up with ne day withut really trying t prve it,” says Erich Jarvis, a prfessr wh studies the neur-bilgy f vcal learning. “The idea stuck arund, but s have ther cmmn beliefs that are nt really supprted with evidence,” he pints ut.
T get a better grasp f vcal learning and cgnitin, the study authrs turned t sngbirds. The team perfrmed seven cgnitive experiments n 214 sngbirds frm 23 different species. Of these, 21 species were caught frm the wild. The rest tw studied are dmesticated (家养的). The behaviral tests examined the birds’ prblem slving, fr instance, figuring ut hw t remve an bject t access the fd reward. The researchers als tested tw ther skills ften assciated with intelligence: learning by assciatin, plus what’s called reversal (倒转的) learning, in which an animal adjusts its behavir t get a reward. They then lked at whether being vcal learners helped develp the three skills, cmparing 21 bird species t tw thers which were nn-vcal learners.
Jarvis’ new study prvides sme f the first evidence that vcal learning — ne f the crucial cmpnents fr a spken language — is assciated with prblem slving. Vcal learning bird species culd cme up with innvative ideas, such as getting seeds, r catching a wrm trapped under a cup by remving the bstacle r pulling it apart. All three abilities — prblem slving, assciative learning, and reversal learning — are typically cnsidered “cmpnents f intelligence,” he says.
“One questin left unanswered is why there’s such a strng relatinship between prblem-slving abilities and vcal learning. The brain areas in charge f vcal learning are nt the same nes that get activated when we need t trublesht (分析解决) an issue,” says Michael Gldstein, a prfessr f psychlgy at Crnell University wh studies vcal learning in sngbirds and humans but was nt invlved in the study.
32. Which can prbably define intelligence accrding t Paragraph 1?
A. Language.B. Brain size.
C. Brain structure.D. Envirnment.
33. What des the underlined wrd in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Guarantee.B. Assumptin.
C. Categry.D. Distributin.
34. What are Paragraphs 3&4 mainly abut?
A. Habits f sngbirds.
B. Methds f dmesticating sngbirds.
C. Outline f the study.
D. Three phases f displaying intelligence.
35. What may the text talk abut next?
A. The mechanism that bridges all the brain regins.
B. The functins f the brain areas that can trublesht issues.
C. The reasns why sngbirds’ intelligence can nt develp further.
D. The reasns why vcal learning influence prblem-slving abilities.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。新的研究发现，语音学习与解决问题的能力密切相关。文章对此进行了介绍。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段前三句“What des it mean t be intelligent? If it’s defined by having the biggest brain, then sperm whales (抹香鲸) — whse brain is 20 punds — wuld be the brightest creatures n Earth.

【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：《兰亭序》是王羲之创作于东晋（317-420）的中国书法精品之一。分析句子可知， ne f 后应加名词复数形式。故填masterpieces。
【63题详解】

July 1971, I was taking a summer class in Black-American literature n the campus f SUNY Onenta in nrthern New Yrk. Prfessr James walked int the classrm and annunced that he had invited a special guest t class, but his guest was delayed. The class stirred with curisity and anticipatin.
“Wh’s cming?” smene asked.
“All I will tell yu is that he is the authr f ne f the bks yu have read fr this class,” he said. “I need a vlunteer t meet him in the hall f the administratin building and take him here.”
T my amazement, my right hand sht up as thugh it had a mind f its wn. “What am I ding?” I thught. I never vlunteered fr anything. I was shy and uncmfrtable meeting new peple. In fact, I was abslutely the wrng persn fr this jb. Realizing my mistake, I pulled my hand dwn quickly, but it was t late.
“Thank yu, David,” Prfessr James said. “Yu’d better leave nw. He’ll be arriving any minute.”
Seeing n way t back ut, I reluctantly gt ut f my seat and headed fr the classrm dr. When I reached it, I stpped.
“Umm,” I said. “If I dn’t knw wh this persn is, hw will I recgnize him? I’d hate t bring back the wrng guy.”
Prfessr James laughed. “Gd pint,” he said. He pulled me aside and whispered a name in my ear. “Alex Haley,” he said.
“Really?” I said. I gave a thumbs-up t the class and left the rm.
As I entered the empty hallway, I criticized myself fr vlunteering. “Why didn’t yu let smene else d this?” Alex Haley was the authr f The Autbigraphy (自传) f Malclm X. He was als famus fr his diligence, perseverance and in-depth thinking.
As I walked acrss the campus, my anxiety grew. I feared that I was abut t embarrass myself in frnt f this famus gentleman by asking stupid questins, r wrse, accmpanying him in painful silence. I reached the frnt steps and climbed them slwly.

【答案】As I pulled pen the heavy glass dr, I realized why I raised my hand t vlunteer fr this jb. This man was what I want t be: a writer. He was living my dream. I culd learn frm him.

His gaze fell n me. “Mr. Haley?” I said. “Yes,” he said. “I’m frm Prfessr James’ class. Welcme,” I said. “Thank yu,” he said. He extended his hand, and we shk. As we crssed the campus, I was struck by hw apprachable this man was. My fear was replaced by curisity and purpse.
“I’d like t becme a writer, but I dn’t knw if I have the talent,” I said. Mr. Haley laughed and said, “If yu want t becme a writer, dn’t wrry abut whether yu have sme magic al gift. Just keep writing, and dn’t give up until yu succeed.” After my cnversatin with Alex Haley, I n lnger bsessed ver the “gift”. Instead, I started writing every day. Within tw years, I published three stries in natinal children’s magazines. Had I nt vlunteered t meet this extrardinary man, I wuld never have received the benefit f his wise advice and the rewards that fllwed.
