17、 into dark waters in search of mullet (鲻鱼) On their own, it would be tricky to find the silvery fish. But the humans get help from an unusual partner: wild bottlenose dolphins.With nets in hand, the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean (鲸类的) partners drive the fish toward the shore. A signal fro
18、m the dolphinsusually a deep diveindicates when they should cast their nets. This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations, lasting for more than a century.While researchers knew humans profited from this pairing, they couldnt confirm whether it benefited the dolphins. Now, in a n
19、ew study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have more chances to live than those that dont.“Human-wildlife cooperation in general is a rare phenomenon at a global scale.” says Mauricio Cantor, a biologist at Oregon State University
20、 and leader of the study. “Usually humans gain the benefit, and nature pays the cost. But this interaction has been happening for over 150 years.”Fishers were more successful when they worked with the dolphins. When dolphins were present, the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch prey (猎物) and
21、netted nearly four times more mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans signals. Eighty-six percent of all 4.955 mullet caught during the study period came from “synchronous (同时的) interactions”when the allies organized their actions perfectly with one another. The study also revealed d
22、olphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in survival rate over other dolphins. These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore, reducing their chance of entanglement (缠绕) in illegal fishing equipment.

26、ading, my mother likes to slice a paragraph or a sentence out and attach it to the wall of her kitchen. She picks boring sentences that puzzle me. But I prefer copying favorite bright lines into a journal in soft, gray No. 2 pencil, word by word.She doesnt know any of this. Theres nothing shocking:
27、for our chatting. we seldom begin certain conversations though we talk on the phone weekly, sometimes making each other laugh so hard that I choke and she cries. But what we dont say could fill up rooms. Fights with my father. Small failures in school. Anything that really upsets us.My mother has ne
28、ver told me “I love you, Lisa.”as if the four-word absence explains who I amso I carry it with me, like a label on me. The last time she almost spoke the words was two years ago, when she called to tell me a friend had been in hospital. I said, “I love you, Mom.” She stopped for a while and then sai
29、d, “Thank you.” I havent said it since, but Ive wondered why my mother doesnt until Ive found a poem that supplies words for the blank spaces I try to understand in our conversations:Dont fill up on bread. I say absent-mindedly. The servings here are huge.My son, middle-aged, says: Did you really ju
30、st say that to me?What he doesnt know is that when were walking together, I desire to reach for his hand.Its humble, yet heartbreaking. After copying it down in my journal, I emailed it to mom, adding “This poem makes me think of you.” My mother doesnt read poetryor at least, she doesnt tell me, and
31、 I felt nervous clicking “Send”.She never mentioned the poem. But the next time I went home for vacation, I noticed something new in the kitchen fixed to an antique board: the poem. The board hung above the heater, the warmest spot in the kitchen. The poem still hangs there. Neither my mother nor I

33、. Why did the author send the poem to her mom?A. It reminded her of moms love.B. She wanted to apologize to mom.C. It suited moms taste of literature.D. She needed an interpretation from mom.31. What does the poem mean to mom?A. A memory of golden days.B. Daughters gratefulness to her.C. A decoratio
34、n in the plain kitchen.D. Daughters understanding of her.DAmong my friends, one topic seems to dominate our conversations: bones. It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis (骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent
35、 and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop a fracture (骨折). Another reason for the endless argument about bone problems is mass confusion over how best to strengthen your bones and whether diet really makes a difference.Diet research is always
36、messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health havent been consistent. But gradually some clarity is emerging. As we draw up resolutions for what to eat, its useful to look at new data on vitamin D. Calcium is the key clement for building bones, and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from the
37、food we cat, so doctors often recommend D supplements (补充剂) to make up for age-related bone loss.But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do n
38、ot improve bone density (密度).“Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults,” says Meryl LeBoff, who led the study.What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as milk and tofu. Getting it from food is best, LeBoff says,
39、 “because there are so many other nutrients (营养物质), and you have a more continuous absorption than with D supplements.”The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in. Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life. So while focusing on better nu
40、tritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu.32. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 emphasize?A. The seriousness of bone problems.B. The concern about senior citizens.C. The confusion about strengthening bones.D. The importance of having a balanced diet.33. What does the underlined sen
41、tence in paragraph 2 imply?A. Diet research is no longer a challenge.B. Weve made resolutions to study diets.C. Findings on bone health prove to be similar.D. We begin to agree on ways to keep bones healthy.34. What can be inferred from the recent study?A. People can absorb vitamin D in food easily.
42、B. The findings go against LeBoffs earlier ones.C. D supplements play a minor role than expected.D. Fractures are linked with weight-bearing exercise.35. What is a suitable title for the text?A. A recipe for better bones B. Your bones cry!C. The magic of D supplements D. Vitamin D wins!第二节(共5小题; 每小题

It was a struggle to find the car par
44、k, let alone explore the huge campus. Although we knew she had flatmates and phone apps to get her to ft in, the challenge ahead was clear- -to find her way in an unfamiliar world. 37 In a recent study, volunteers walked around a virtual forest environment. Then some of them took the same walk again
45、, while others explored a different forest. 38 According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺) systemsetting up their brains for memorizing things. Thus, they scored higher.So leaving home to study makes perfect sense. 39 But we may all be
46、 able to gain some of the benefits, even if its just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here are three things to try: Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning tasklike memorizing a speech in the library, or revising for an exam in a parkand take an unfamiliar route to get there. 40 To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine youre tapped in a part of it that youve never visited. Then try to visualize exactly how youll get out. Play video games that get you moving through new lands
