I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. We thought that he’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.

We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of pus(脓)--the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher months ago. Today’s poacher shoots from a distance. An arrow, covered with poison, is fired into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-- it doesn’t mean the poison won’t finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.

Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit-- but I couldn’t escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.

24. While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ______. A. knew the elephant was injured B. found the elephant acted violently C. tried their best to save the elephant

D. thought the elephant was in good condition

25. According to the passage, the underlined word “poacher” is probably ______. A. A hunter who kills or catches animals illegally B. A kind of fierce meat-eating animal

C. A serious disease that can infect elephants D. A kind of deadly poison

26. Further examination showed that the dead elephant ______. A. had suffered a lot

B. was killed by a poisonous needle

C. had suffered an hour or two D. had had a good fight with a poacher 27. Why did the author write the article?

A. To introduce the African elephant. B. To show the cruelty of poaching. C. To describe his filming experience. D. To ask readers to protect wild animals. C

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins with “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning efforts increase the length of time when we will remember it.

In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.

The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are one of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a collage course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development. 28. The author explains the law of overlearning by ______.

A. using examples

B. making a comparison C. setting down general rules D. presenting research findings

29. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Commonly accepted rules. B. The multiplication tables. C. Things easily forgotten. D. School subjects.

30. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?

A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It’s possible to result in poor memory. C. It’s helpful only in a limited way.

D. It’s the best way to learn a collage course. 31. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. People remember well what they learned in childhood B. What the secret of having a good memory is C. The advantages and disadvantages of cramming D. Overlearning helps us remember things longer

D

Older people with hearing loss may suffer faster rates of mental decline. People who have hearing trouble suffered meaningful impairments(损伤) in memory, attention and learning about three years earlier than people with normal hearing, a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine reveals.

The finding supports the idea that hearing loss can have serious consequences for the brain, says Patricia Tun of Brandeis University, who studies aging. “I’m hoping it will be a real wake-up call in terms of realizing the importance of hearing.”

Compared with other senses, hearing is often overlooked, Tun says. “We are made to interact with language and to listen to each other, and it can have damaging effects if we don’t.”

Frank Lin of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and colleagues tested the hearing of 1, 984 older adults. Most of the participants, who averaged 77 years old, showed some hearing loss--1, 162 volunteers had trouble hearing noises of less than 25 decibels(分贝), comparable to a whisper or rustling leaves. The volunteers’ results reflect the hearing loss in the general population: Over half of people older than 70 have trouble hearing.

Over the next six years, these participants went through mental evaluations that measured factors such as short-term memory, attention and the ability to quickly match numbers to symbols. Everybody got worse

at the tasks as time went on, but people with hearing loss had an especially sharp decline. On average, a sudden drop in performance would come about three years earlier to people with hearing loss.

Lin cautions that the study has found an association between hearing loss and mental abilities. Those who can’t hear well might avoid social situations and isolation(孤立) is known to be bad for the brain. “You gradually become more socially disconnected,” Lin says. “Social isolation is a major factor for dementia and cognitive decline.”

Lin and his team hope to study whether improvements in hearing brought about by hearing aids or other treatments can transform into improvements in mental functioning. “The ultimate question is, can we do anything about it?” he says.

32. According to Patricia Tun, this research will probably ______.

A. present the mental decline of old people

B. make the public attach more importance to hearing C. reveal some unknown secrets of aging

D. call on people to listen to and interact with each other 33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A. The outcome of the test. B. The process of the test. C. The participants of the test. D. The purpose of the test.

34. Dementia and cognitive decline mainly result from _____.

A. memory loss B. hearing loss C. social isolation D. speech impairment 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Hearing aids can completely solve the hearing loss problem.

B. The exploration between hearing loss and mental decline will be carried on. C. No effective treatment can really improve hearing loss.

D. Lin and his team are confident that their research will help slow down mental decline.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s sometimes hard to understand a teenager. It’s even harder if a teenager doesn’t agree with you. 36 Listen to what the teenager has to say. 37 While you may not entirely agree with what he’s saying, the tension will be lessened if the teenager feels like you are listening and trying to understand him. Also, he might return the favor and give you the chance to talk as well. It’s best to have a conversation where both of your opinions matter rather than fight and possibly hurt each other in the process.

Understand that while teenager may appear grown up and perhaps even sound matured, his mind has not fully developed, and he cannot think like an adult all the time. 38 However, this doesn’t mean you’re completely right or he deserves to be ridiculed or treated like a child.

39 However, remember that the teenager should understand when “no” is “no”. Avoid bringing up a compromise every time you disagree on something. This might teach him that he can always get away with what he wants, whenever he wants it.

If the conversation launches into an argument, stop it. Tell him that you both need to calm down and think clearly or the problem will never be solved. If he refuses to listen and continues arguing, step out of the room and allow time for both of you to settle down. Do not scold him or shout back. Your words will possibly be lost on the teenager since you both are too angry to listen to each other. 40 A. He still needs to learn, and he doesn’t know everything. B. Avoid having a bad tone, including accusations in your words.

C. Find the good points the teenager has and mention the negative points too. D. This article tells you how to disagree with a teenager in a kind manner. E. People like being listened to, so give him the chance to express his opinion. F. Come up with a compromise if the situation allows one.

G. Bring up the topic after a while and make sure you listen to each other patiently.

This saying was 49 and I’d heard many people refer to others as the apple of their eye.

That picture brought 53 to my own eyes, as I remembered how much I meant to my father. How does that 54 to the time my son spent as a soldier at war?
