When I was a child, I was terrified of storms, especially those violent ones that occurred in summer. Once, I
was out shopping with my parents, when suddenly there was a loud noise coming from the direction of the
Apennine Mountains.
As the storm got closer, lightning fell a few hundred meters from us, and hail (冰雹) whitened the streets in
minutes. This was a totally new experience for me, and I ran into my father’s arms in terror. I was afraid. But I was
also in awe. Like the pull of a horror movie, my fear developed into fascination as I grew older. When a thunder
storm broke out at night, I would rush to my window to witness a brilliant show in the night sky. I would wait in
eager anticipation, equipped with my parents’ camera, ready to try and capture a flashing moment.An interest in storm photography arose from these youthful attempts. What once frightened me now gave me a
strong rush, especially the first time lightning struck just a few meters away from me, an experience which resulted
in me capturing a splendid photo of the moment. From that moment on, I realized that I absolutely had to chase
storms throughout southern Italy.
The truth is that storm chasing is quite dangerous, especially to those who set out to chase storms without
acknowledging the risks involved or respecting nature. Most accidents caused by lightning occur outdoors. You are
most at risk in the mountains, but all large and exposed places such as a lawn (草坪) or a soccer field can also be a
dangerous place during a storm, especially anywhere in the presence of water, such as the sea, beaches or outdoor
pools.
One day soon I will set off to expand my storm chasing journey beyond Italy’s horizons. I would love to go to
Venezuela where electrical storms are guaranteed almost all year round on the Catatumbo River and Lake
Maracaibo. Maybe that will be the day that my parents finally accept the choice of my career.
24．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The author’s reaction during a storm.
B．The author’ s most impressive memory.
C．How the author got over his fear of storms.
D．How the author developed interest in chasing storm.
25．Which of the following places is the safest in a storm in the author’s opinion?
A．A room in a shopping center. B．The beach near the sea.
C．The lawn with open water. D．A path in the mountains.
26．Why will the author go to Venezuela in the future?
A．To enjoy the splendid scenery.
B．To seek a working opportunity.
C．To join a team that chases storms.
D．To capture the frequent electrical storms.
27．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．My Fear of Storms B．My Dream to Chase Storms
C．An Opportunity to Respect Nature D．A Destination of My Life

In the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk moth caterpillarsresemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the
University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some
bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them.
Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him as similar to the sound of some bees.
He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to frighten away would-be predators.
To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with
protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer
analysis revealed that bees’ and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar.
Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches
for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes, and
after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of
insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing
sounds made by bats.
During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter, they videoed the owls. After analysis, the results were
unequivocal. When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers
as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.
Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator.
They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises
when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is
far more widespread than currently realized.
28．What was Dr. Russo’s hypothesis of the study?
A．Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies.
B．The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees.
C．Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom.
D．Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry.
29．How did Dr. Russo test his idea?
A．By consulting experts in this field.
B．By referring to other scholars’ analysis.
C．By collecting computer data.
D．By conducting series of scientific experiments.
30．What does the underlined word “unequivocal” in paragraph 5 possibly mean?A．Disappointing. B．Controversial. C．Definite. D．Uncertain.
31．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Bats get a new trick to scare away owls.
B．Bats mimic buzzing to frighten away predators.
C．Bats are no longer victim to owls.
D．Bats’ auditory mimicry behavior is widespread among animals.

It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful magazine cover story “I love My Children, I Hate My Life” is
arousing much chatter — nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that bringing up a child is not a completely
fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable,
Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by
moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day
experience of raising kids can be extremely hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment damage our
moods can later be sources of intense content and delight.”
The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child
image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive — and newly single — mom Sandra
Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one
celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.
In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation (繁衍), is it any wonder that admitting you regret having
children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing? It doesn’t seem quite fair, then, to compare the
regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely are encouraged to wonder if they shouldn’t
have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most
important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the wide-open baby-size holes in
their lives.
Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like US Weekly and People present is hugely
unrealistic, especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock. According to several studies concluding
that parents are less happy than childless couples, single parents are the least happy of all. No shock there,
considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear celebrities tell it, raising a
kid on their “own” (read: with round-the-clock help) is a piece of cake.
It is hard to imagine that many people are stupid enough to want children because it looks so fantastic — mostadults understand that a baby is not a haircut. But it is interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of
stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own
dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting a part of the way
celebrities live might make us look just a little bit like them.
32．Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring ________.
A．very temporary delight
B．great enjoyment in progress
C．happiness in one’s memory
D．concern over love and hatred
33．Paragraph 2 is intended to show that ________.
A．celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.
B．single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.
C．news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.
D．having children is highly valued by the public.
34．According to the passage, those childless folks________.
A．are less likely to be satisfied with their life
B．are largely ignored by the media.
C．fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.
D．are constantly exposed to criticism.
35．Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.
B．Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child raising.
C．Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.
D．We sometimes neglect the happiness from child raising.

Have you ever had someone tell you "If you eat before bed, you are more likely to get fat!"? 36 This
belief originated when researchers found the relation between individuals snacking late at night and having a BMI
that categorizes them as obese(肥胖的）。
Is eating late at night, especially after 8 pm, really going to make you gain weight? One theory is that yourmetabolism(新陈代谢） slows down when you are asleep. 37 Thus the calories you eat right before bed
would not be burned off as much as they would be while you're awake. Although the science seems pretty sound,
recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little, if at all, while you are asleep. 38 The heart
is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active. All of these actions take energy, meaning
while we are asleep, we are still burning calories.
39 As we know, one physiological effect of insulin(胰岛素）is storing fat. Food being consumed late at
night will more likely be stored away due to the higher levels of insulin present in the blood system. However,
insulin levels at night are shown to be no different than insulin levels during mid-day. If it is true that eating with
high insulin levels causes you to gain weight, anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat.
So how come individuals have higher BMI s when they snack at night? It is simply a result of eating too many
calories. Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice
cream, candy, potato chips and soft drinks. Put simply, if you eat more calories than you burn,regardless of the time
of the day, you will gain weight. 40
A．With a slow metabolism, few calories are being burned.
B．While asleep, your body still functions in many ways.
C．All living matter undergoes a process of metabolism.
D．The time these snacks are consumed does not matter.
E．Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true.
F．Besides, insulin levels are dramatically lower in the morning than at night.
G．Another theory is that late-night snacking leads to rising insulin levels.

It was a chilly Friday night, and I had just returned from climbing one of the red rocks of Sedona. My father
telephoned me as I walked through the arches to my dorm room and told me that my mother had been in a terrible
car crash and had been taken to the intensive care unit (重症监护病房) of a nearby hospital.
When I got to the hospital, my father led me down a wide hallway with machines all around. A strong smell of
medicine brought a sick feeling to my already tuning stomach. As I turned into my mother’s ward, the cadaverous
(形容枯槁的) condition of her body shocked me. Her face had swollen, her eyes had huge dark bruise, and she had
tubes down her throat and in her arms. Gently holding her cold swollen hands, I said “hi” in a calm voice,
controlling my urge to cry out.
She kept looking at me as she pounded her hand against the bed, looking painful. I turned my face away from
her, trying to hide the tears that were rolling down my face. That was when it struck me that I really might lose my
mother.
From that night on, my life completely changed. Up to that point, I’d had the luxury of just being a kid, having
to deal with only the exaggerated melodramas of teenage life. As my mother struggled first to stay alive and then to
relearn to walk, my sense of priorities changed sharply. My mother needed me. The trials and trouble of my daily
life at school, which had seemed so important before, now appeared insignificant. My mother and I had faced death
together, and life took on a new meaning for both of us.
After a week of treatment in intensive care, my mother’s condition improved enough to be moved to a regular
hospital ward. She was finally out of danger but, because her legs had been crushed, there was doubt whether she
would be able to walk again. I was just grateful that she was alive. Two months later, a sort of hospital suite was set
up in our family room, and she was allowed to come home.
