Three species of elephant are recognized: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant and the Indian or Asian elephant.Elephants live in a structured social order. The social lives of male and female elephants are very different. The females spend their entire lives in tightly knit family groups made up of mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts. In elephant society, the females are in charge. The oldest and most experienced female leads the herd. It’s the leader’s job to protect the herd.A female will usually be ready to breed around the age of thirteen. After atwenty-two-month pregnancy, the mother gives birth to a single calf that weighs about 115 kg A female elephant will have a single baby every 4 or 5 years.Elephants spend up to 16 hours a day eating plants. They are primarily browsers, feeding on the leaves, bark and fruits of trees and shrubs. A baby elephant starts to eat plants during the second year. All members of the herd watch over the baby. Since the baby is too weak to travel during the first days, the herd will stay with it until it can keep up.Young elephants are playful and love to wrestle and tumble in the mud. They learn by exploring and imitating members of their herd.Questions:1. Who are in charge in elephant society?2. What’s the role of the oldest and the most experienced females?3. Which numbers of the herd look over the baby?4. How many babies does a mother elephant give every 4 or 5 years?5. At what age can a baby elephant start to eat plants?Passage 2Bats have a reputation for being scary, but they actually do a lot of good--especially for farmers. They love to eat insects, the way you probably love cookies or ice cream. One insect that bats will swallow quickly in large quantities is the corn-eating insect, which costs American corn and cotton growers about $2 billion a year to control and in crop losses.A team of researchers in Texas have been studying one kind of bat, called the Mexican free-tailed bat, that has a big appetite. According to them, a million of these bats can eat nearly 10 tons of insects in just one night.In early June, billions of corn-eating insects emerge along the border of Texas and Mexico. Some of them feed on cotton after feasting on southern corn, while others travel northward to swallow their way through mid-western corn, cotton, and other field crops.Cotton and corn farmers are controlling the harmful insects mostly by spraying their crops with insect-killing chemicals. But the researchers are looking for cheaper and more environmentally friendly ways to control the damaging insects. They think that bats could help farmers reduce the numbers of the insects chewing on their corn crop and their profits.In studies to confirm the bats' appetite for the damaging insects, Dr. McCracken and Dr. Westbrook attached radio-microphones to hydrogen-filled balloons. While the balloons were drifting 2,500 feet above the ground, the microphones picked up the high-frequency sounds of bats searching for and feeding on those insects. Now, if more farmers built bat houses instead of bird houses, there might be a big reduction in corn and cotton eating insects!Questions:6. Why does the author say bats do a lot of good ?7. Which of the following about corn-eating insects is true?8. By what means are American cotton and corn farmers controlling the damaging insects?9. Why did the two scientists attach radio microphone to the balloons?10. What is the main idea of the passage?Section B: Compound Dictation (10分，B9-B10题目中，单词拼错每2个扣0.5分，扣完为止，不倒扣分)B1(0.5分): dailyB2(0.5分): occurB3(0.5分): averageB4(0.5分): rollB5(0.5分): musclesB6(0.5分): predominatingB7(0.5分): consciousnessB8(2分): You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long.B9（2分）: your brain activity level will increase again slightlyB10（2.5分）: This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep.附听力原文：Sleep is part of a person's daily activity cycle. There are several different stages of sleep, and they occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows. When you first drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves predominating for the first few minutes. This is called stage 1sleep. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through stage 2 and stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. Then about 40 to 60 minutes after you lose consciousness you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain waves will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm. This is stage 4 sleep.You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long. Instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep. It is during REM sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will grow slow and regular once more, and you will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep - only to rise once again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes later.Section C: Translation Through Listening （共10分，错别字酌情扣分）参考译文：C1 Black holes can be best described as a sort of vacuum, sucking up everything in space. 对黑洞最好的描述是它像一种吸尘器，把宇宙中所有的东西尽收囊中。

A Canadian psychologist, Dr. David Sherry, has studied the remarkable memory of nutcracker, a bird that stores food，mostly pine seeds, in tiny caches, or holes, in the ground. A native of western North America, one nutcracker makes 100 to 200 separate caches every day in the fall and winter. When spring arrives, the bird returns to these caches to eat the seeds.Dr. Sherry says that months after burying the seeds, the birds remember exactly where th ey stored them. They fly directly to the holes with no need to hunt and peck. “These birds have a highly specialized spatial memory --- it’s amazing,” says Dr. Sherry.Dr. Sherry says that memory in many animals is associated with an area in the brain called the hippocampus. He found that food-storing birds have a larger hippocampus than birds that don’t store food. Hippocampus damage is one sign of Alzheimer’s disease, a brain degenerative disease marked by a failing memory.51.What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Some kinds of birds have excellent memory.B. How birds store food in the ground.C. How birds find their stored food.D.Why birds like to bury seeds in the ground.52.Nutcracker is a kind of bird that _____.A. stores seeds in the groundB. sings very nicelyC.flies to north in winter daysD.works diligently53.When spring arrives, the bird _____.A. returns from northB. flies back to find the stored foodC. starts to build its new homeD. becomes busy in collecting seeds54.According to Dr. Sherry, if one’s hippocampus is hurt, he may_____ .A. lose his ability to talkB. become very forgetfulC. die very soonD.become easy to get angry55.The phrase “associated with” in the last paragraph has the same meaning as_____?A. “linked to”B. “covered with”C. “located at”D. “stored in”Passage 2Gordon was a 25-year-old science teacher in 1966 when he bought a brand-new car V olvo P1800. Today, Gordon, now retired, still owns the same V olvo. Last March, he put the 2 millionth mile on the car.Gordon’s vehicle hit the big 2 million at a TV ceremony held in Times Square in New York City.To what does Gordon owe his car’s very long life?“V olvos are very strong cars,” he said. “Also, I drive sensibly. And I take very good care of the car.”Gordon changes the oil every 3,000 miles; uses only the same brand of oil; changes the spark plugs（火花塞）every 20,000 miles; washes the car regularly; waxes it at least twice a year; and spends a few minutes each week checking under the hood (车篷), among other things.“Being a science teacher, I have a better idea of the ways things work,”he said.Gordon says the vehicle still has many of its original parts. But many parts, such as the starter motor, the brakes（刹车）, and the water pump, have been rebuilt or replaced.Gordon’s 2 million miles on the road have taken him almost everywhere in the United States, as well as to Canada, Mexico, and Europe. “Whether I drive 3 million is more up to me than it is the car,” he said. “The car’s parts may be able to take it, but I’m not so sure about my own.”56.From the passage we can guess that _____.A. it’s very rare for a car to drive two million milesB. the story has been written to introduce a new carC. there were a car show at the New York City’s Times SquareD. no accid ents have ever taken place with Gordon’s car67. The main cause of the car’s long life lies in _____.A. Gordon’s careful serviceB. Gordon’s special knowledge of carsC. the excellent quality of the carD. the good quality of the oil he uses68. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. All the parts of Gordon’s car have been replaced.B. Some of the car’s parts can last even longer time.C. V olvo cars are stronger than Japanese ones.D. Science teachers can usually keep their cars longer.69. Gordon has driven his V olvo _____.A. all over the worldB. both home and abroadC. mostly around the town he lives inD. on both American continents70. By the last two sentences Gordon wants to say that _____.A. he’s no longer as strong as he was youngB. his car may survive for no less than ten yearsC. he worries much about his carD. he’ll try hard to reach the goal of 3 million milesPassage 3Last summer, 16-year-old Andrea Axtell read an interesting article in the papers: A family had walked aimlessly in an Arizona desert after their car broke down. Family members said they felt as if they’d walked in circles for hours before help arrived. That detail attracted Andrea’s interest. “Wit hout a compass or specific landmarks, do people who get lost end up walking in circles?” she wondered. “And if they do, why?”These simple questions fueled Andrea’s 10th-grade science project. Hungry for answers, she went to the library to conduct background research. Among many facts, she discovered that several body organs control direction and movement. For example:⏹Eyes allow people to see their route.⏹Structures in the middle ear affect a person’s sense of balance.⏹The brain controls whether a person’s right side or left side is dominant（主导的）,or exerts more control.“Studies of runners’ strides（步态）show that the dominant foot pushes off with a greater force, which pushes the runner slightly right or left,” she explains.Armed with this information, Andrea started an experiment to test whether people who don’t know where they’re going end up walking in circles. And several months later, that experiment got a prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair（ISEF）!71. The aim of Andrea’s research is to find _____.A.why people walk in circlesB.why runners usually run in circlesC.whether lost people walk in circlesD.how can lost people find their place72. From where did Andrea get her idea to do her 10-grade science project?A.From her textbook.B.From a news report.C.From a science report.D.From an experiment.73.

When our eyes are made uncomfortable by some small pieces of pollution, or when we are cutting onions, or when we are tired and “red-eyes” from overwork a t late hours, tears form in our eyes to clean and refresh them.Tears are also a sign of strong emotion. We cry when we are sad and we cry when we are happy.And tears seem to be unique to human. We know that animals also experience emotion—fear, pleasure, loneliness—but they do not shed tears. From this we can conclude that tears are closely related to the emotional and biological make-up of the human species.Biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of a slightly salty fluid, produced by a gland（腺）in the body.Because salt is an important component（成分）, tears may actually make up the most conclusive evidence that the human animal is the end product of a long evolutionary（进化的）process that began in the sea.And it is clear, that, in addition to the emotional benefits, the shedding of tears has a specific biological function as well. Through tears, we can eliminate from our body certain chemicals which build up in response to stress and create a chemical imbalance in the body. Crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance and making us feel good again. And thus the emotional and the biological functions of tears mix into one and make us even more “human” than we would otherwise be.76. According to the passage, human beings may have first formed in .A. the seaB. lakesC. riversD. mountains77. Which of the following functions have nothing to do with tears?A. Biological functionB. Emotional functionC. Physical functionD.Chemical function78. According to the article, which of the following is unique to humans?A. The feeling of loneliness.B. The ability of evolution.C. The ability to shed tears.D. The feeling of fear.79. The word “eliminate” in the last paragraph most probably means .A. escapeB. produceC. replaceD. remove80. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. Tears are a sign of strong emotion.B. Tears are always making us feel more comfortable.C. Tears are unique to human.D. Tears have certain biological function.。
