Mau Piailug, Ocean Navigator

Mau sailed from Hawaii to Tahiti using traditional methods. In early 1976, Mau Piailug, a freshman, led an expedition in which he sailed a traditional Polynesian boat across 25, 000 miles of ocean from Hawaii to Tahiti. The Polynesian Voyaging Society had organized the expedition. Its purpose was to find out if seafarers (海員) in the distant past could have found their way from one island to the other without navigational instruments, or whether the islands had been populated by accident. At the time, Mau was the only man alive who know how to navigate just by observing the stars, the wind and the sea.

He had never before sailed to Tahiti, which was a long way to the south. However, he understood how the wind and the sea behave around islands, so he was confident he could find his way. The voyage took him and his crew a month to complete and he did it without a compass or charts.

His grandfather began the task of teaching him how to navigate when he was still a baby. He showed him pools of water on the beach to teach him how the behavior of the waves and wind changed in different places. Later, Mau used a circle of stones to memorize the positions of the stars. Each stone was laid out in the sand to represent a star.

The voyage proved that Hawaii's ftrst inhabitants came in a small boats and navigated by reading the sea and the stars. Mau himself became a keen teacher, passing on his traditional secrets to people of other cultures so that his knowledge would not be lost. He explained the positions of the stars to his students, but he allowed them to write things down because he knew they would never be able to remember everything as he had done.

At the time of his voyage, Mau had unique navigational skills.

A.Right

C.Not mentioned

Traffic Jams -- No End in Sight

1. Traffic congestion (擁堵) affects people throughout the world. Traffic jams cause smog in dozens of cities across both the developed and developing world. In the U. S. , commuters (通勤人員) spend an average of a full working week each year sitting in traffic jams,according to the Texas Transportation Institute. While alternative ways of getting around are available, most people still choose their cars because they are looking for convenience,comfort and privacy.

2. The most promising technique for reducing city traffic is called congestion pricing, whereby cities charge a toll to enter certain parts of town at certain times of day. In theory, if the toll is high enough, some drivers will cancel their trips or go by bus or train. And in practice it seems to work: Singapore, London and Stockholm have reduced traffic and pollution in city centers thanks to congestion pricing.

3. Another way to reduce rush-hour traffic is for employers to implement flextime, which lets employees travel to and from work at off-peak traffic times to avoid the rush hour. Those who have to travel during busy times can do their part by sharing cars. Employers can also allow more staff to telecommute ( work from home) so as to keep more cars off the road altogether.

4. Some urban planners still believe that the best way to ease traffic congestion is to build more roads, especially roads that can take drivers around or overcrowded city streets. But such techniques do not really keep cars off the road; they only accommodate more of them.

5. Other, more forward-thinking, planners know that more and more drivers and cars are taking to the roads every day, and they are unwilling to encourage more private automobiles whenpublic transport is so much better both for people and the environment. For this reason, the American government has decided to spend some $ 7 billion on helping to increase capacity on public-transport systems and upgrade them with more efficient technologies. But environmentalists complain that such funding is tiny compared with the $ 50 billion being spent on roads and bridges.

Why So Many Children

In many of the developing countries in Africa and Asia, the population is growing fast. The reason for this is simple: Women in these countries have a high birth rate from 3.0 to 7.13 children per woman. The majority of these women are poor, without the food or resources to care for their families. Why do they have so many children? Why don't they limit the size of their families? The answer may be that they often have no choice. There are several reasons for this.

One reason is economic. In a traditional agricultural economy, large families are helpful.Having more children means having more workers in the fields and someone to take care of the parents in old age. In an industrial economy, the situation is different. Many children do not help a family; instead, they are an expense. Thus, industrialization has generally brought down the birth rate. This was the case in Italy, which was industrialized quite recently and rapidly. In the early part of the twentieth century, Italy was a poor, largely agricultural country with a high birth rate. After World War II, Italy's economy was rapidly modernized and industrialized. By the end of the century, the birth rate had dropped to 1.3 children per woman, the world's lowest.

However, the economy is not the only important factor that influences birth rate. Saudi Arabia, for example, does not have an agriculture-based economy, and it has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. Nevertheless, it also has a very high birth rate (7.0). Mexico and Indonesia, on the other hand, are poor countries, with largely agricultural economies, but they have recently reduced their population growth.

Clearly, other factors are involved. The most important of these is the condition of women.A high birth rate almost always goes together with lack of education and low status for women.This would explain the high birth rate of Saudi Arabia. There, the traditional culture gives women little education or independence and few possibilities outside the home. On the other hand, the improved condition of women in Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia explains the decline in birth rates in these countries. Their governments have taken measures to provide more education and opportunities for women.

Another key factor in the birth rate is birth control. Women may want to limit their families but have no way to do so. In countries where governments have made birth control easily available and inexpensive, birth rates have gone down. This is the case in Singapore, Sri Lanka, and India, as well as in Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, and Brazil. In these countries,women have also been provided with health care and help in planning their families.

These trends show that an effective program to reduce population growth does not have to depend on better economic conditions. It can be effective if it aims to help women and meet their needs. Only then, in fact, does it have any real chance of success.

In a traditional agricultural economy, a large family____

A.may limit income

B.can be an advantage

C.isn't necessary

D.is expensive

32、 When countries become industrialized____

A.the birth rate generally goes down

B.families often become larger

C.women usually decide not have a family

D.the population generally grows rapidly

33、 Italy today is an example of an____

A.agricultural country with a high birth rate

B.agricultural country with a low birth rate

C.industrialized country with a low birth rate

D.industrialized country with a high birth rate

34、 Saudi Arabia is mentioned in the passage because it shows tha____ t

A.the most important factor influencing birth rate is the economy

B.women who have a high income usually have few children

C.the birth rate depends on per capita income

D.factors other than the economy influence birth rate

35、In Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia, the government____

A.is not concerned about the status of women

B.has tried to improve the condition of women

C.has tried to industrialize the country rapidly

D.does not allow women to work outside the home

Making a Loss Is the Height of Fashion

Given that a good year in the haute couture (高級定制女裝) business is one where you lose even more money than usual, the prevailing mood in Paris last week was sensational. The big-name designers were falling over themselves to boast of how many outfits they had sold at below cost price, and how this proved that the fashion business was healthier than ever. Jean-Paul Gaultier reported record sales. "but we don't make any money out of it," the designer assured journalists backstage. "No matter how successful you are, you can't make a profit from couture," explained Jean-Jacques Picart, a veteran fashion PR man, and co-founder of the now-bankrupt Lacroix house.

Almost 20 years have passed since the unusual economics of the couture business were first exposed. Outraged that he was losing money on evening dresses costing tens of thousands of pounds, the couturier Jean-Louis Scherrer published of his costs. One outfit he described curtained over half a mile of gold thread, 18, 000 sequins (亮片), and had required hundreds of hours of hand-stitching in an atelier (制作室). A fair price would have been ~ 50, 000 , but the couturier could only get ~ 35, 000 for it. Rather than riding high on the foolishness of the super-rich, he and his team could barely feed their hungry families.

The result was an outcry and the first of a series of government and industry-sponsored inquiries into the surreal ( 超現(xiàn)實(shí)的) world of ultimate fashion. The trade continues to insist that couture offers you more than you pay for, but it's not as simple as that. When such a temple of old wealth starts talking about value for money. It isn't to convince anyone that dresses costing as much as houses are a bargain. Rather, it is to preserve the peculiar mystique (神秘), lucrative (利潤豐厚的) associations and threatened interests that couture represents.

Essentially, the arguments couldn't be simpler. On one side are those who say that the business will die if it doesn't change. On the other are those who say it will die if it does. Huge in its costs, tiny in its clientele and questionable in its influence, it still remains one of the great themes of Parisian life. In his book, The Fashion Conspiracy, Nicholas Coleridge estimates that the entire couture industry rests on the whims (一時興起) of less than 30 immensely wealthy women, and although the number may have grown in recent years with the new prosperity of Asia, the number of couture customers worldwide is no more than 4, 000.

To qualify as couture, a garment must be entirely handmade by one of the 11 Paris couture houses registered to the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. Each house must employ at least 20 people, and show a minimum of 75 new designs a year. So far, so traditional, but the Big Four operators -- Chanel, Dior, Givenchy and Gaultier -- increasingly use couture as a marketing device for their far more profitable ready-to-wear, fragrance and accessory lines.

What is the main idea of the first paragraph____ ?

A.The haute couture designers claim losses in their sales.

B.The haute couture business is expanding quickly.

C.The haute couture designers make much profit in their sales.

D.The haute couture businessmen are happy with their profit.

37、 According to the second paragraph, Jean-Louis Scherrer____

A.was in a worse financial position than other couturiers

B.was very angry as he was losing money

C.was one of the best-know couturiers

D.stopped producing haute couture dresses

38、 The writer says that the outfit Jean-Louis Scherrer described____

A.was worth the price that was paid for it

B.should have cost the customer than it did

C.cost more to make than it should have

D.was never sold to anyone

39、 The writer says in Paragraph 4 that there is disagreement over____

A.the future of haute couture

B.the history of haute couture

C.the real costs of haute couture

D.the changes that need to be made in haute couture

40、What is the writer's tone toward haute couture business____?

A.Somewhat ironical.

B.Quite supportive.

C.Fairly friendly.

D.Rather indifferent.

On the Trial of the Honey Badger

On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert, a team of researchers learn a lot more about honey badgers. 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 behavior as discreetly (謹(jǐn)慎地) as possible without frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behavior. 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 something 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 (兇惡的). Fortunately this is rare, but it does happen. "

The research confirrned many things that were already known. As expected, honey badgers ate any creatures 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's fondness for local melons, probably because of their high water content. Preciously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey (獵物). 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 socialized 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 kilometers.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 animal's curiosity -- or sudden aggression. The badgers' eating patterns, which had been disrupted, 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 badgers' relaxed attitude when near humans.

Why did the wildlife experts visit the Kalahari Desert____?

A.To find where honey badgers live.

B.To catch some honey badgers for food.

C.To find out why honey badgers have a bad reputation.

D.To observe how honey badgers behave.

42、 What does Kitso Khama say about honey badgers____?

A.They are always looking for food.

B.They do not enjoy human company.

C.It is common for them to attack people.

D.They show interest in things they are not familiar with.

43、 What did the team find out about honey badgers____?

A.There were some creatures they did not eat.

B.They were afraid of poisonous creatures.

C.Female badgers did not mix with male badgers.

D.They may get some of the water they needed from fruit.

44、 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.

45、What happened when honey badgers got used to humans around them____?

A.They lost interest in people.

B.They became less aggressive towards other creatures.

C.They started eating more.

D.Other animals started working with them.

Toads are Arthritis and in Pain

Arthritis is an illness that Can cause pain and swelling in your bones. Toads, a big problem in the north of Australia, are suffering from painful arthritis in their legs and backbone, a new study has shown. The toads that jump the fastest are more likely to be larger and to have longer legs. ____ (46) ____

The large yellow toads, native to South and Central America, were introduced into the north-eastern Australian state of Queensland in 1935 in an attempt to stop beetles and other insects from destroying sugarcane crops. Now up to 200 million of the poisonous toads exist in the country, and they are rapidly spreading through the state of Northern Territory at a rate of up to 60 km a year. The toads can now be found across more than one million square kilometers.____ (47) ____A Venezuelan poison virus was tried in the 1990s but had to be abandoned after it was found to also kill native frog species.

The toads have severely affected ecosystems in Australia. Animals, and sometimes pets,that eat the toads die immediately from their poison, and the toads themselves eat anything they can fit inside their mouth. ____ (48) ____

A co-author of the new study, Rick Shine, a professor at the University of Sydney, says that little attention has been given to the problems that toads face. Rick and hiscolleagues studied nearly 500 toads from Queensland and the Northern Territory and found that those in the latter state were very different. They were active, sprinting down roads and breeding quickly.

According to the results of the study, the fastest toads travel nearly one kilometer a night. ____ (49) ____But speed and strength come at a price -- arthritis of the legs and backbone due to constant pressure placed on them.

In laboratory tests, the researchers found that after about 15 minutes of hopping, arthritic toads would travel less distance with each hop (跳躍). ____ (50) ____These toads are so programmed to move, apparently, that even when in pain the toads travelled as fast and as far as the healthy ones, continuing their relentless march across the landscape.

【考點(diǎn)延伸】詢問舉例的目的或原因是屬于例證題。因?yàn)榕e例的目的或原因是為了證明某個論點(diǎn)，所以例證題的解答要關(guān)注其例子前后表示論點(diǎn)的句子。

【考點(diǎn)延伸】主旨題分為段落主旨和篇章主旨，段落的主旨一般是看段落的首尾句，而篇章的主旨則是看所有段落的首尾句，并結(jié)合篇章的題目。

38. B

【解 析】細(xì)節(jié)題。利用題干關(guān)鍵詞outfit，Jean—Louis Schemer和describe等可以定位到第三段“0ne outfit he described…A fair price would have been￡50，000，but the couturier could only get￡35，000 for it.Rather than riding high on the foolishness of the super—rich，he and his team could barely feed their hungry families”，可知“Jean—Louis所描述的一件服裝……公平的價格本應(yīng)為5萬英鎊，但實(shí)際只能獲得3.5萬英鎊。他和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)沒有洋洋得意于有錢人的愚蠢(即賺了有錢人很多錢)，反而幾乎都不能喂養(yǎng)他們饑餓的家人了(即連成本都不能回收)”，由此可知，作者認(rèn)為本來設(shè)計(jì)師是要大把從有錢人身上賺錢，結(jié)果這件衣服所收取的價格都不足以支付成本，更不用提獲利了，所以B為正確答案。

【考點(diǎn)延伸】ride high(得意洋洋)，fair price(公平的價格)，barely(幾乎不，僅僅)

39. D

系統(tǒng)解析： 【題干】作者在第四段中提到關(guān)于____存在不同意見。

【解 析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文中第四段第二句“On one side are those who say that the business will die if it doesn’t change.On the other are those who say it will die if it does”，即“一方是那些認(rèn)為如果不改革那么這個行業(yè)就會消亡的人，另一方是那些認(rèn)為如果改革就會消亡的人”，可見雙方爭論的是高級定制女裝的行業(yè)是否要改革，故D是正確答案。

【考點(diǎn)延伸】On one side…on the other side…(一方……另一方……)，on one hand…on the other hand…(一方面……另一方面)

40. A

系統(tǒng)解析：【題 干】作者對高級定制女裝的態(tài)度是什么?

【解 析】態(tài)度題。作者在文章提到高級女裝時，認(rèn)為“Huge in its costs，tiny in its clientele and questionable in its influence(成本高，客戶少而且影響也有問題)”“so far，SO traditional(太傳統(tǒng))”可見作者的態(tài)度是負(fù)面的，所以A是正確答案。

【考點(diǎn)延伸】態(tài)度題則需要利用所使用詞匯的褒貶色彩進(jìn)行判斷。

41. D

系統(tǒng)解析：

【題 干】為什么野生動物專家要去Kalahari沙漠?

【解 析】細(xì)節(jié)題。利用題干關(guān)鍵詞wildlife expert和Kalahari Desert可以定位到第一段“On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert，a team of researchers learn a lot more about honey badgers.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 behavior”，可知其主要目的是“研究蜜獾的行動和行為”，所以D為正確答案。

42. D

系統(tǒng)解析： 【題 干】關(guān)于蜜獾，Kitso Khama說了些什么?

【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。利用題干關(guān)鍵詞Kitso Khama等可以定位到第二段“the problem witll honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals.especially when they see something 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 call become extremely vicious(兇惡的).Fortunately this is rare，but it does happen.”即“蜜獾的問題在于他們天生是好奇的動物，特別是他們看見新東西的時候。這種好奇心加上其難以預(yù)測的本性就成了危險(xiǎn)因素。如果它們感覺到你有食物，它們就不會害羞而是直接跑到你面前要東西吃。它們實(shí)際上是人類周圍中非常友善的動物，但是一旦它們感到有危險(xiǎn)，它們就變得異常兇惡。”由此可知，A沒有提到，B和c和原文都不一致，所以正確答案為D。

【考點(diǎn)延伸】核心詞匯curious(好奇的)，nature(n.自然，本質(zhì))，company(陪伴，公司)，extremely(非常地，極端地)

43. D

系統(tǒng)解析： 【題 干】這個研究小組發(fā)現(xiàn)了有關(guān)蜜獾的什么?

【解 析】細(xì)節(jié)題。利用題干關(guān)鍵詞進(jìn)行定位，發(fā)現(xiàn)無法確定相關(guān)的原句子，這時候可以改為定位選項(xiàng)的關(guān)鍵詞。分別定位四個選項(xiàng)的關(guān)鍵詞，可以定位到第三段“As expected，honey badgers ate any creatures they could catch and kill.Even poisonous snakes，feared and avoided by most other animals，were not safe from them”，可知“蜜獾吃任何它們能抓住和殺死的動物。

甚至像多數(shù)動物害怕和躲避的毒蛇，碰到它們時也不安全，會被吃掉”，由此可知A和B是錯誤的，而“They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research，including the fact that female badgers never socialized with each other.”即“他們確認(rèn)了以前研究的結(jié)果，包括雌性蜜獾彼此之間從不交往。”由此可知C也是錯的，利用排除法可知正確答案為D 。同時“he researchers were surprised，however，by the animal’s fondness for local melons.probably because of their high water content”可知蜜獾喜歡吃當(dāng)?shù)氐奈鞴?，可能因?yàn)槲鞴现休^多的水分含量”。由此進(jìn)一步確認(rèn)正確答案為D。

【考點(diǎn)延伸】如果題干不容易定位，可以定位選項(xiàng)，看哪個選型對應(yīng)的原句與題干一致。核心詞匯poisonous(有毒的，名詞為poison)，content(adj.滿意的n.內(nèi)容)

44. C

系統(tǒng)解析： 【題 干】下列哪一個是雄性蜜獾的典型特征?

【解 析】細(xì)節(jié)題。利用題干關(guān)鍵詞和a large family等可以定位到第四段第一句 “Following some of the male badgers was a challenge，since they Can cover large distances in a short space of time”，即“雄性蜜獾是個挑戰(zhàn)，因?yàn)樗麄兡茉诤芏虝r間內(nèi)在很大的區(qū)域內(nèi)活動”，由此可知，C是正確答案。

45. A

系統(tǒng)解析：【題 干】當(dāng)蜜獾習(xí)慣了周圍有人后會怎么樣?

【解 析】細(xì)節(jié)題。利用題目順序與段落順序一致的原則和題干關(guān)鍵詞be used to可以定位到最后一段“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—or a sudden aggression”，即“當(dāng)蜜獾習(xí)慣于周圍有人存在的時候，人就可以接近它們，而它們也對人不再好奇或突然進(jìn)攻”。故A是正確答案。而且從42題可知，他們只是對不熟悉的東西好奇。

【考點(diǎn)延伸】be/get used to(習(xí)慣于)，be/get accustomed to(習(xí)慣于)

【考點(diǎn)延伸】可以利用段落首尾句確定該段的中心大意。

47. C

系統(tǒng)解析： 【解 析】從原文來看，空白處前面一句講的是蟾蜍現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)蔓延到超過100萬平方公里的區(qū)域，說明蟾蜍開始泛濫，而空白處后一句說的是一種委內(nèi)瑞拉病毒在90年代開始用來消滅蟾蜍，但之后發(fā)現(xiàn)也殺死本地的青蛙物種就不得不放棄了，所以空格填入與消除蟾蜍有關(guān)的選項(xiàng)，故B(現(xiàn)在這個國家面臨的任務(wù)就是如何消除蟾蜍)符合原文。

48. F

系統(tǒng)解析： 【解 析】從原文來看，第三段的首句說蟾蜍嚴(yán)重影響了澳大利亞的生態(tài)環(huán)境?？瞻滋幥懊嬉痪渲v到吃蟾蜍的動物和寵物都被毒死了，而且蟾蜍吃掉了能吃的一切。空格填入與生態(tài)環(huán)境受到蟾蜍影響有關(guān)的語句，故F(并且，它們很快就占據(jù)了澳大利亞本地物種的自然棲息地)是正確答案。

49. D

系統(tǒng)解析： 【解 析】從原文來看，空白處前面一句講到研究結(jié)果表明最快的蟾蜍一個晚上能跑近l公里?？瞻滋幒笠痪渲v的是這種速度和力量卻是要付出代價的。因此，空白處談?wù)摰倪€是有關(guān)速度的話題，所以D(長腿的蟾蜍移動較快并能移動較長的距離，而其他則落后)比較符合原文語意。

50. C
