Now, a new study suggests that bumblebees force plants to flower by making small bites in their leaves.‎ Consuelo De Moraes, a scientist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, noticed bumblebees making tiny bites in the leaves of their greenhouse plants. The insects didn't seem to be carrying off the bits of leaves to their nests or eating them.‎ Supposing the bees were causing the plants to flower, Consuelo De Moraes and his team set up a series of experiments. They placed flowerless tomato plants and two kinds of worker bees in cages. The bees fed with enough pollen (花粉) seldom damaged the plants, while the ones without having pollen for three days busily did so. Scientists then removed the plants after the bees made five to ten holes in their leaves. The small holes caused the tomato plants to flower a month sooner than usual.‎ ‎“ In a sense, the bees are signaling,' Hey,we need food. Please speed up your flowering, and we'll pollinate (授粉）you.’” said Lars Chittka, a behavioral scientist at Queen Mary University of London.‎ To make sure that their discoveries didn't result from the man-made conditions in the lab, the scientists placed bumblebees and a variety of flowerless plant species on their Zurich rooftop in late March 2018. The bees were free to fly as far as they could. Yet they set to work damaging the leaves on all the non-flowering plants nearest to their nests. The bees lost interest in this activity toward the end of April as more flowers came out, according to the study.‎ The research is of great value, for it can increase the human food supply. However, some questions remain to be answered, like“ Why do the bites cause the plants to flower?” and “ Does flowering early lead to higher fitness for the plants?”‎ ‎24. Why did the bumblebees bite the leaves?‎ A. Because they wanted to eat the leaves.‎ B. Because they were to get pollen to eat.‎ C. Because they were exercising to be stronger.‎ D. Because they would carry the leaves to the nests.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined“ this activity” in Paragraph 5 refer to?‎ A. Dancing on the leaves. B. Flying as far as they could.‎ C. Making small holes in the leaves. D. Damaging the flowers near their nests.‎ ‎26. What's the possible benefit of the research?‎ A. Humans may produce more food. B. Bumblebees can have more to eat.‎ C. Some plants can have more flowers. D. Some plants will gain higher fitness.‎ ‎27. What's the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Bumblebees speed up plants flowering by biting leaves.‎ B. Human food supply will largely depend on bumblebees.‎ C. Bumblebees like to damage the plants nearest their nests.‎ D. Rooftop plants flower more than the ones in greenhouses.‎ C How does an ecosystem work? What makes the population of different species the way they are? Why are there so many flies and so few wolves? To find an answer, scientists havebuilt mathematical, models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.‎ With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs. Most food webs, for example, consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones. When a predator（掠食动物） always eats huge numbers of a single prey（猎物）, the two species are strongly linked；when a predator lives on various species, they are weakly linked. Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a predator can eat several species, it can survive the extinction (灭绝) of one of them. And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare, the switch allows the original prey to recover. The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.‎ Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems. In the 1960s, scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species-including species they did not directly attack.‎ And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to ‎ be true. In the ocean, we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators such as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.‎ Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models. Ideally, the system would tell us when to adjust human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline. Prevention is key, scientists say, because once ecosystems pass their tipping point（临界点）, it is remarkably difficult for them to return.‎ ‎28. What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical of food webs?‎ A. The living habits of species in food webs.‎ B. The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems.‎ C. The approaches to studying the species in the ecosystems.‎ D. The differences between weak and strong links in food webs.‎ ‎29. A strong link is found between two species when a predator______.‎ A. has a wide food choice. B. can easily find new prey.‎ C. sticks to one prey species D. can quickly move to another place ‎30. What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.‎ B. Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.‎ C. Species of commercial value dominate other species.‎ D. Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.‎ ‎31. How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance?‎ A. By getting illegal practices under control.‎ B. By stopping us from killing large predators.‎ C. By bringing the broken-down ecosystems back to normal.‎ D. By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action.‎ D You never see them, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand (抵挡) almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a ‎ comic book. They're known as the black box.‎ When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India Ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine detected the device's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.　　‎ In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early model, often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane - the area least subject to impact - from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to be visible. Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft’s final moments. Placed in an insulated（隔绝的）case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged(潜入水中), they’re also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1, 2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they’re still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered. ‎ ‎32. What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner?‎ A. Data for analyzing the cause of the crash. ‎ B. The total number of passengers on board.‎ C. The scene of the crash and level of the damage. ‎ D. Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.‎ ‎33. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?‎ A. New materials became available by that time. ‎ B. Too much space was needed for its installation. ‎ C. The early models often got damaged in the crash. ‎ D. The early models didn't provide the needed data.‎ ‎34. Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow?‎ A. To distinguish them from the colour of the plane. ‎ B. To caution people to handle them with care.‎ C. To obey international standards ‎ D. To make them easily seen.‎ ‎35. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?‎ A. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed. ‎ B. There is still a good chance of their being recovered.‎ C. They have stopped sending homing signals.‎ D. They were destroyed somewhere near France.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Have you ever wondered that the food you eat everyday can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? 36 There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.‎ ‎ 37 It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate foods from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.‎ On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. 38 Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.‎ Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. 39 Those changes can create ‎ new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes. ‎ We should embrace our heritage (传统) through our culture's food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. 40 ‎ A. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.‎ B. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture.‎ C. The smell and taste of the food is very familiar to me.‎ D. It also operates as an expression of culture identity.‎ E. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.‎ F. Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or cooking traditions are so important to your culture?‎ G. As the world becomes more globalized, it is easier to access foods from different cultures.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or 41 .

At that time my family lived a stone's 44 from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim (穆斯林) and I was an Indian Hindu (印度教徒)—we just accept our differences. Perhaps, because our elders had not filled our heads with 45 advice.‎ Ismail and I were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we'd 46 the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to 47 the unexpected. At times Ismail would 48 my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town.

It was Ismail! Even after two 54 we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something hard to describe.‎ If we can allow our children to be themselves without prejudice, they'll build friendships with people, 55 race or religion, who will be by their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and then we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “we few, we happy few, we band of brothers”.‎ ‎41.

Five years after their graduation from college, Nick called Adam and Tom, inviting them to celebrate his birthday on his personal yacht (游艇). They got very excited.‎ It was a bright and sunny summer day. As Nick was studying the safety measures of the sea journey, he saw Adam and Tom coming towards his yacht. With huge hugs and smiles on every face, the three greeted each other in their usual way. “Thank you boys for coming and making my birthday even more special,” said Nick.‎ ‎“But before getting started, hope you both know there is a danger zone at a particular point on this sea, ” warned Adam.‎ ‎“Don’t worry. I will stay away from it. Now let the party begin!” Nick responded, starting to turn the steering wheel (方向盘) of the yacht.‎ Treating the friends on the beautiful white yacht sailing on the blue water was a perfect idea. They were having a wonderful time, talking, eating and joking. How time flew! It started getting dark.‎ ‎“Hey guys! It’s time to go back,” Tom shouted.‎ ‎“Mr. Sailor, turn your ship’s wheel and take us back home,” said Adam.‎ Little did they know they were going to encounter life-threatening challenges ahead. Unknowingly, Nick crossed the danger zone Adam had mentioned earlier. When realizing this, Nick decided to make a turn immediately. Unfortunately, a strange noise came from the engine and then the yacht stopped. Expert at mending machines, Adam offered to examine the engine and asked Nick to fetch the tool box. Nick was hurrying to get it when he slipped, falling into the sea water.‎ ‎“Nick!” Tom and Adam screamed.‎ Panicked, Nick started shouting for help. Tom rushed inside the yacht to get a life jacket to rescue Nick, but didn’t find one. Instead, he found a long rope and out he rushed with it.‎ Just then Adam shouted on top of his voice, “Nick! Look, there’s a shark behind you!” _______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ What they had to do was restart the yacht._________________________________________‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 听力（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎1-5 AACAB 6-10 BABBC 11-15 ACABB 16-20 CBCCC 阅读理解（共20小题,每小题2.5分，满分50分）‎ ‎21-23 CBD 24-27 BDAA 28-31 BCDD 32-35 ACDB 36-40 FBDEA 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎41-45 DDBBA 46-50 ACDAA 51-55 BDADC ‎ 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ ‎56. entirely 57. are 58. needed 59. a 60. more ‎ ‎61. to eat 62. changes 63. that 64. it 65. amazing 应用文写作 （满分15分）‎ 参考范文 Dear Lily,‎ I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling sad now.

Look, there’s a shark behind you!” Turning his head, Nick was shocked to find a black figure approaching him. Helpless and frightened, Nick swam towards the yacht like crazy. Tom quickly threw the rope down at Nick, who succeeded in grasping it. With all their strength, Tom and Adam pulled Nick up from the ‎ water before the shark could swallow him. But the hungry animal didn’t give up, swimming around the yacht for its dinner. Terrified as the three guys were, they knew they must do something to escape from the danger.‎ What they had to do was restart the yacht. Though wet through, Nick fetched the tool box in no time. With the tools Adam carefully examined the engine, found out the exact cause of its failure and managed to get the engine to work again. Its wonderful sound had everyone on board burst into cheers. With Nick turning the steering wheel, the yacht left the danger zone at full speed, leaving the lonely shark far behind. The young guys waved happily at it, heading straight back.‎
