Over time, some of their property and much of the surrounding landscape became the Mohonk Preserve, which has since grown to 8, 000 acres and attracts visitors and rock climbers.‎ But the Mohonk Preserve also has a long scientific legacy. In the 1930s, Dan Smiley, a descendent of the original owners, began keeping track of the plants and animals that lived in the area.‎ Megan Napoli is a research ecologist with the Mohonk Preserve in New York. She thinks Smiley’s efforts produced a rare long-term data set of observations, which is useful for studying the impacts of climate change. For instance, other research has shown that songbirds are migrating north earlier and earlier in the spring.‎ It’s important for the birds to arrive at the proper time in the spring, because they need to time their arrival with the insect emergence. So they need to be here to establish their nesting sites, lay their eggs. Once the eggs hatch, they have their baby birds, so they need to time it when the insects are most abundant.‎ Napoli has begun analyzing about 76,000 observations of songbird migration dates collected by Smiley and his team to see if they, too, show that climate change has altered the timing of migrations. Her results suggest that they do.‎ Napoli found that short-distance migrants that spend their winters in the southern U. S. now arrive an average of eleven days earlier than they did in the 1930s. Long-distance migrants that overwinter in the tropics arrive roughly a week earlier. Napoli presented her results at a recent Ecological Society of America meeting in Portland, Oregon.‎ Meanwhile, who knows how many other long-term, personal data collections like Smiley s are out there, waiting to be discovered and to help improve official attempts to track the planet’s changes. ‎ ‎24. What do we know about Dan Smiley?‎ A. He lived in New York City. B. He was a scientific researcher.‎ C. He owned the Mohonk Preserve. D. He kept a record of wildlife.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. The birds’ birth. B. The birds’ arrival.‎ C. The nest building. D. The insect appearance.‎ ‎26. What does Megan Napoli think of Smiley’s long-term record?‎ A. It has affected the birds’ migration. B. It challenges the previous research.‎ C. It has changed official attitudes. D. It is of great value to her research.‎ ‎27. What can we learn from Napoli’s research?‎ A. It is totally based on Smiley’s long-term notes. B. Scientists have to rely on more personal data.‎ C. Climate change affects birds’ migration time. D. It contributes greatly to other personal research.‎ C Famous Irish poet Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) once wrote: “Ah! Realize your youth while you have it.” He pointed out the important truth about how precious youth is in one’s journey through life.‎ However, the popular Internet slang word foxi - or Buddhist - is challenging this norm by encouraging young people to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflict as much as possible — in other words, to live like a Buddha.‎ The phrase was reportedly created in Japan in 2014 to describe young men who no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone else’s life path. They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without being disturbed and care little about passion and success.‎ Now, Chinese Internet users are pairing the phrase with other words to describe a similar mindset. For example, “Buddhist students” are those who study just the right amount - they don’t cut class, but they don’t burn the midnight oil, either. There are also “Buddhist parents”, who ‎ interfere (干涉) little with their children’s lives and let them develop however they like - the opposite of “helicopter parents”.‎ In this fast-changing and competitive world, it’s only natural that people are seeking a spiritual anchor. However, some would compare foxi with “demotivational culture” - a phrase that describes young people who feel aimless and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending to keep a healthy and wise attitude toward failure simply because they’re incapable of succeeding.‎ But no matter what, there is one thing that “Buddhist youngsters” should keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm mindset regarding failure, but you should also be passionate about school, work and life. After all, Wilde also wrote: “Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.”‎ ‎28. Which would be considered as “Buddhist” by Chinese Internet users?‎ A. A man refusing to date with girls. B. A person refusing others’ advice.‎ C. A parent caring too much about his child. D. A student never working extra hours.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “demotivational” in paragraph 5 probably mean?‎ A. Full of energy. B. Lacking motivation. C. Physically healthy. D. Absent-minded ‎30. What’s the writer’s suggestion to “Buddhist youngsters”？‎ A. Being positive. B. Being cooperative.‎ C. Being considerate. D. Being content ‎31. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. Peaceful, or aimless? B. Foxi is popular nowadays.‎ C. What should Buddhist youngsters do? D. Foxi helps live a wonderful life.‎ D On April 14th，2010，my entire life changed in an instant．One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine．The next moment，metal，flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash．Another cyclist，biking carelessly，had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic．‎ As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life，another disaster also occurred on April 14th，2010．It cost the airline industry＄l.7billion．Ten million travelers were stuck for ‎ days．Economies all over the world were disturbed．This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull，one of Iceland's many volcanoes．‎ However，volcanoes are not all bad．In fact，they are necessary．They are responsible for the birth of new earth，and for the creation of rich soil．This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily．But cancelling 48% of the worlds flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO from entering the atmosphere，temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint．‎ Similarly，the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized．I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations．‎ In 1973，another Icelandic volcano，Eldfell，broke out．Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path．After their plan worked，they used the geothermal （地热） energy for the next 15years to heat their homes．A good example of life bringing lemons，and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes，focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future．‎ I ran from April 14th，2010，to every kind of escape．Eventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences．‎ ‎32．What happened to the writer on April 14th，2010？‎ A．He was involved in a car crash． B．He was stuck in Iceland's airport．‎ C．He witnessed a volcanic eruption． D．He was badly injured on a bike ride．‎ ‎33．Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull？‎ A．Economy was cost globally by the eruption． B．Carbon dioxide was increased temporarily．‎ C．Most of the world's planes were held up． D．The earth in Ireland was terribly polluted ‎34．Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano？‎ A．It broke out in Iceland on April 14th as well．‎ B．It symbolized the accident that changed his life．‎ C．It told us to make the most of given situation．‎ D．It encouraged him to know more about himself ‎35．What is the best title for the passage？‎ A．Escape from Volcanoes B．Inspiration from Disasters C．Love for Earth Science D．Attitude towards Nature．‎ 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能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。‎ Drowning is the second-most common cause of accidental death in children aging 1 to 14 (just behind motor vehicle accidents.)
