第2题：
Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership ( 伙伴关系 ) which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫 ) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals ( 珊瑚 ) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products form. the corals and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are ever prevented from lighting so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
1、Some birds like to sit on a sheep because ( ).
A、they can eat its parasites
B、 they depend on the sheep for existence
C、 they enjoy traveling with the sheep
D、 they find the position most comfortable
2、The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ( ).
A、birds and parasites
B、birds and sheep
C、parasites and sheep
D、sheep, birds and parasites
3、What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? ( )
A、Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.
B、 Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.
C、 Some plants depend on each other for foo
D、 Some animals live better together.
4、What does this article talk about? ( )
A、Two kinds of animals for a partnership.
B、Most animals only have connection with animals.
C、The connection between the living things.
D、Corals have some connection with plants.

第5题：
We can infer from the passage that _______.
A there is little distinction between specialisation and professionalisation
B amateurs can compete with professionals in some areas of science
C professionals tend to welcome amateurs into the scientific community
D amateurs have national academic societies but no local ones
正确答案：B选［B］。本题的答案不是很明显，可用排除法来解决。文章第一段最后两句指出"专业分工是影响交流过程的一系列相关科学发展中的一部分。另一个是科学活动不断增长的专业化趋势"。由这两句可看出，专业分工和专业化是科学发展的两方面，两者是有区别的，所以［A］"专业分工和专业化之间没有什么差别"是不正确的。从文章第三段可以看出专业科技人员和业余科技人员是持"不相容"态度的，而且随着专业化的不断发展，这种"不相容"关系更加明显，所以［C］"专业人员倾向于欢迎业余人员加入到他们的科学团体中去"是错误的。第三段最后一句话中的"whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way"表示业余科技人员既有地方团体也有国家团体，所以［D］是错误的。经排除后只有［B］才是唯一的正确选项。 -

第10题：
单选题Passage2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Salt is as necessary to life as water. In many areas of Africa people once drank the urine（尿）of animals because they had no other source of salt. Without salt, human beings die. The human body demands that the amount of salt in the blood always stay the same. When the body does not get enough salt, it protects itself by letting less salt leave the body in. urine and sweat. But it cannot reduce this output to zero. Some salt is always escaping. On a completely saltless diet, like that of some people in Africa, the body steadily loses small amounts of salt through the kidneys（肾） and sweat glands(腺). It then tries to adjust to this loss by speeding up its secretion(分泌) of water. (78) In this way, the body attempts to keep the amount of salt in the blood at the necessary level. The result is a slow drying up of body and, finally, death. The person dies of thirst. In cases where there is little or no water to drink, the body tries to do the opposite thing.Again, it must keep the salt level in the blood constant. Because it has little water, it attempts to stop water from leaving the body and to increase its secretion of. salt. But, as with the escaping salt, it cannot be completely successful. Some water still leaves and the person eventually dies of thirst. In short, the body's normal needs for salt and for water are both parts of the same important need to keep the salt level in the blood constant.10 What is the main idea of the passage?ASalt is very important.
BIf their blood salt level is not constant, human beings may die.
CThe amount of salt in the body is secreted.
DPeople can die of thirst.

第13题：
Having acknowledged receipt of the interview letter，you must prepare for the interview. Firms usually take a good deal of trouble over interviews，and there may be three or more people present，which can be a little frightening. Very often the personnel officer will begin by some words of welcome and an invitation to you to tell them a little about yourself. This is really inviting you to repeat the information you have already supplied on the application form，and which they have already read，but it does have some point. It will put you at your ease，because at least you know all about your own level of achievement and can speak about it confidently. It helps them assess your ability to communicate and your serf-esteem. Some people have too high an opinion of themselves，some take an unduly pessimistic view of their achievements，while others have a nicely balanced assessment of their own abilities.
正确答案：
在你表明收到面试函以后，就要为面试做准备了。一般说来，公司在面试上不怕麻烦，往往有两三个人员在场，这可能会有点让人害怕。多数情况下，管人事的会以欢迎一类的话作为开场白，然后就请你谈一些自己的情况。这实际上是让你把申请表里已经提供的，而且他们已经看过的情况再陈述一遍。但它却有一定的用处。它会使你放松，因为至少你对自己的水平很熟悉，可以很自信地侃侃而谈。他们也可以此来评定你的交流能力和是否自负。因为有些人对自己评价过高，有些人却无端自卑，有的人则能对自己的能力有一个中肯的判断。 -

第三篇
On the Trail of the Honey Badger
On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert,a team of researchers learnt a lot more about honey badgers
（獾）.The team employed a local wildlife expert,Kitso Khama,to help them locate and follow the badgers
across the desert. Their main aim was to study the badgers' movements and behaviour as discreetly（谨慎地）
as possible,without frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behaviour. They also
planned to trap a few and study them close up before releasing them.In view of the animal's reputation,this
was something that even Khama was reluctant to do.
"The problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals,especially when they see some-
thing new,"he says."That,combined with their unpredictable nature,can be a dangerous mixture.If they
sense you have food,for example,they won't be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat.
They're actually quite sociable creatures around humans,but as soon as they feel they might be in danger,
they can become extremely vicious（凶恶的）.Fortunately this is rare , but it does happen."
The research confirmed many things that were already known.As expected,honey badgers ate any crea-
tures they could catch and kill.Even poisonous snakes,feared and avoided by most other animals,were not
safe from them.The researchers were surprised,however,by the animal'5 fondness for local melons,probably
because of their high water content. Previously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid require-
ments from its prey（猎物）.The team also learnt that , contrary to previous research findings , the badgers
occasionally formed loose family groups.They were also able to confirm certain results from previous
research,including the fact that female badgers never socialised with each other.
Following some of the male badgers was a challenge,since they can cover large distances in a short
space of time.Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometres.Although they seem happy to
share these territories with other males,there are occasional fights over an important food source,and male
badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as they are towards other species.
As the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people,it gave the team the chance to get up close
to them without being the subject of the animals'curiosity一or their sudden aggression.The badgers' eating
patterns,which had been disrupted,returned to normal.It also allowed the team to observe more closely some
of the other creatures that form working associations with the honey badger,as these seemed to adopt the
badgers' relaxed attitude when near humans.Which of the following is a typical feature of male badgers?
A:They don't run very quickly.
B:They defend their territory from other badgers.
C:They hunt over a very large area.
D:They are more aggressive than females.答案：C解析：由文章第一段第三句话“Their main aim was to study the badgers' movements and behaviour as discreetly as possible"，可知野生动物专家们访问这个沙漠是为了研究蜜獾这种动物的生活习 性。故选D。
在文章第二段第一句话中， Kitso Khama说“they are naturally curious animals , especially when they see something new.”可知，选项D正确。
由文章第三段第四句话“The researchers were surprised , however, by the animal' s fondness for local melons ,probably because of their high water content.”可知，让研究者惊奇的一项发现是 蜜獾这种动物很喜欢吃当地的甜瓜，很可能是因为这种瓜中水分含量很高。故选D。
由文章第四段第一句和第二句“Following some of the male badgers was a challenge ,sincethey can cover large distances in a short space of time.Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometres."，可知雄性蜜獾奔跑速度很快，它们找寻猎物的领域可延伸至500平方公 里。故选C。
由文章最后一段第一句话，可知，蜜獾在习惯了人类在它们周围活动之后，就不会再产 生好奇心，也不会有敌意的表现。这时研究人员就有机会近距离观察它们。故选A。 -

B/; a
Cthe; the
D/; /
正确答案： A解析：
句意：大多数动物和其他种类的动物联系很少，除非它们捕杀其作为食物。animals在这里是泛指，可直直接用复数名词，所以不加冠词。of a different kind是固定词组，泛指任一“不同一类的”。故本题应选B。 -
第23题：
单选题The fastest speed these animals can run at is about 65kph and ______ their hunting methods have to be very efficient indeed.Ain addition
Bin consequence
Cin advance
Din short
正确答案： D解析：
句意：这些动物中最快的奔跑速度大约是65千米／4,时，因此就必须得有高效的捕猎方式。in consequence意为“因此，结果”；in addition意为“另外”；in advance意为“预先”；in short意为“简而言之”。
