The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up
a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers’ questions—where was I going and why was I
traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that
morning, she didn’t pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided
to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go
together.
“Why don’t you travel with us?” one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced
adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current
plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London.
It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored
Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations.
When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel’s
swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined
complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even
flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave
me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I’ve backpacked alone across South Africa, sky-dived
from 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the U.S. with no job lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed
to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn’t picked up the phone.
24. By “My stomach was in knots” (in paragraph 1), the author most likely means that she was ______.
A. sick of riding on a bumpy bus B. nervous of meeting strangers
C. upset about the sudden change D. sorry about the impractical plan
25. Which of the following best describes the backpackers the author met?
A. Courageous but disrespectful. B. Jobless and poorly educated.
C. Warmhearted and trustworthy. D. Homeless but lighthearted.
26. The author’s sixth sense told her that ______.
A. she would get along with the backpackers B. it might cause trouble to have a swim
C. she ought to stay away from the backpackers D. it could add excitement to get a free ride
27. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Most of the backpackers became the author’s lifelong friends.
B. The author gathered the courage to be a fulltime backpack traveler.
C. The woman missed the phone call with the purpose of traveling alone.
D. The author considered it a great decision of her life to travel on her own.
C
Zoologists track animals using global-positioning-system (GPS) tags which then return their data
via satellite. Marine biologists have a harder time of it, though, because radio signals can’t pass through
seawater. This makes it impossible either to receive GPS signals or to send any data collected back to
4
{#{QQABaQQEoggIABBAAAhCQw1wCAKQkBACAKoGhAAEMAAAQBFABAA=}#}
base.
That does not stop people tagging sea creatures. Data collected and stored in a tag can be sent to a
satellite in bursts if the species in question is one that comes to the surface from time to time. A tag may
also be recovered if the animal carrying it is caught by a fishing boat. Fisherfolk are typically paid a
few hundred dollars per tag returned to its home laboratory.
None of these methods, though, keeps accurate track of where the animal carrying the tag has been.
For these and other reasons, it would therefore be useful to have a marine equivalent of GPS. And one
is now being employed. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, in Massachusetts, hopes to fill the
seas with sonic beacons(声波信标) that will play the role of GPS satellites.
The sea is divided into distinct layers that have different temperatures. During the Second World
War, American scientists showed that some of these layers act as sonic wave guides. They called them
“sound fixing and ranging” (sofar) channels. Sound sent out in one of these channels echoes between
the layers above and below, thus staying in the channel. Thus constrained(被约束), a sound wave can
travel hundreds of kilometers before it becomes too weak to detect.
The sofar transmitters from Woods Hole are usually at an appropriate depth for the channel
concerned. Every 12 hours they broadcast a 32-second-long location signal known as a pong. Pongs are
so called because they are similar to sonar “pings”, but of lower frequency. In typical conditions a pong
can be picked up 1,000 km away. By listening to the pongs from several beacons a receiver can
calculate its location. Existing receivers for the two sofar transmitters are currently carried on
free-floating instrument packs. But the plan is to have two more transmitters this year, and more in
future years.
28. Which sea creatures can GPS tags be applied to?
A. Those feeding on other sea animals.
B. Those following fishing boats constantly.
C. Those coming out of the sea sometimes.
D. Those swimming deep under the water.
29. Why do sofar channels function?
A. The echoes among them are weak.
B. The water has a high temperature over there.
C. The layers among them are quite similar.
D. The sound remains there and stays strong for a while.
30. What makes pings different from pongs?
A. Pings are of higher frequency.
B. Pings can travel faster than pongs.
C. Pings can be received 1,000 km away.
D. Pings are broadcast every 32 seconds.
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Tags for sea creatures B. “GPS” for the oceans
C. Strange deep sea creatures D. Data from distant satellites

Conservationists go to war over whether humans are the measure of nature’s value. New
Conservationists argue such trade-offs are necessary in this human dominated era. And they support
“re-wilding, a concept originally proposed by Soule where people reduce economic growth and
withdraw from landscapes, which then return to nature.
New Conservationists believe the withdrawal could happen together with economic growth. The
California-based Breakthrough Institute believes in a future where most people live in cities and rely
less on natural resources for economic growth.
They would get food from industrial agriculture, including genetically modified foods,
desalination intensified meat production and aquaculture(水产养殖), all of which have a smaller land
footprint. And they would get their energy from renewables and natural gas.
Driving these profound shifts would be greater efficiency of production, where more products
could be manufactured from fewer inputs. And some unsustainable commodities would be replaced in
the market by other, greener ones---natural gas for coal, for instance, explained Michael Heisenberg.,
president of the Breakthrough Institute. Nature would, in essence, be decoupled from the economy.
And then he added a warning: “We are not suggesting decoupling as the pattern to save the world,
or that it solves all the problems.”
Cynics(悲观者) may say all this sounds too utopian, but Breakthrough maintains the world is
already on this path toward decoupling. Nowhere is this more evident than in the United Sates,
according to Iddo Wernick, a research scholar at the Rockefeller University, who has examined the
nation’s use of 100 main commodities.
Wernick and his colleagues looked at data carefully from the U.S. Geological Survey National
Minerals Information Center, which keeps a record of commodities used from 1900 through the present
day. They found that the use of 36 commodities (sand, iron ore, cotton etc.) in the U.S. Economy had
peaked.
Another 53 commodities (nitrogen, timber, beef, etc.) are being used more efficiently per dollar
value of gross domestic product than in the pre-1970s era. Their use would peak soon, Wernick said.
Only 11 commodities (industrial diamond, indium, chicken, etc.) are increasing in use (Greenwire,
Nov.6), and most of these are employed by industries in small quantities to improve systems processes.
Chicken use is rising because people are eating less beef, a desirable development since poultry
cultivation has a smaller environmental footprint.
The numbers show the United States has not intensified resource consumption since the1970s
even while increasing its GDP and population, said Jesse Ausubel of the Rockefeller University.
“It seems like the 20th-century expectation we had, we were always assuming the future involved
greater consumption of resources,” Ausubel said. “But what we are seeing in the developed countries is,
of course, peaks.”
32. What does the underlined word “trade-offs” refer to in the first paragraph?
A. The difficult situation of economies growth.
B. The profitability of import and export trade.
C. The balance between human development and natural ecology.
6
{#{QQABaQQEoggIABBAAAhCQw1wCAKQkBACAKoGhAAEMAAAQBFABAA=}#}
D. The consumption of natural resources by industrial development.
33. Which of the following is true of the views of the new environmentalists?
A. They believe that mankind should limit economic growth.
B. They believe that mankind is the master of the whole universe.
C. They believe that mankind should live in forests with rich vegetation.
D. They believe that mankind will need more natural resources in the future.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph of the passage?
A. Natural resources cannot support economic development.
B. All resource consumption in developed countries has reached a peak.
C. More resource consumption will not occur in a certain period of time.
D. Excessive resource consumption will not affect the ecological environment.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Urbanization and re-wildness
B. Human existence and industrial development
C. Commodity trading and raw material development
D. Socioeconomic development and resource consumption

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk
and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 36 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise
and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers
were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from
one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much
risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types.
As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car
racing, or maybe you hate it. 38
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks
increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for
new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance
for risk as well.
40 For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest
of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the
waves or the shallow end of the pool.

{#{QQABaQQEoggIABBAAAhCQw1wCAKQkBACAKoGhAAEMAAAQBFABAA=}#}
A. It all depends on your character.
B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
