21．（6分）If your dog looks pleased to see you—it is probably because it loves the particular way you smell.
The scent (气味)of a familiar human apparently lingers like perfumein the animal’s brain—where it causes an instinctive emotional response, research reveals.
Our scent acts on a part of the canine (犬科的) brain associated with reward and the strongest reactions are produced by humans that pets know best, say scientists in America.
Gregory Bern, of Emory University in Atlanta, said, “While we might expect that dogs should be highly tuned to the smell of other dogs, it seems that the ‘reward response’ is reserved for their humans. When humans smell the perfume of someone they love, they may have an immediate, emotional reaction that’s not necessarily cognitive (认识的). So is it in dogs. But since dogs have a more sensitive smell than humans. their responses would likely be even more powerful than the ones we might have. In our experiment, however. the owners of the dog were not physically present. The canine brain responses were being caused by something distant in space and time. It shows that dogs brains have these mental representations of us that persist when we’re not there.”
The experiment involved 12 dogs of various kinds by brain scans while five different scents were placed in front of them. The scent samples (样本)came from the subject (接受试险者) itself, a dog the subject had never met, a dog living in the subject’s household. The familiar human scent samples were taken from someone else from the house other than the handlers during the experiment, so that none of the scent donors were physically present.
The results showed all five scents gained a similar response in parts of the dogs brains involved in detecting smells. Responses were significantly stronger for the scent of familiar humans, followed by that of familiar dogs. The findings showed dogs reacted strongest to the scent of familiar humans even when they were not there. Pets trained as
help or therapy dogs show ed greater brain activity than the other dogs in the test.
Researchers say the findings could improve the way to select animals helping wounded old soldiers or disabled people.
1、What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．The scent of the dogs.

22．（8分） It is hard to imagine that such a small country, the size of Indiana with the population of Alaska, tucked in the Himalaya Mountains, accessible only by two airplanes, is the “Happiest Country’’ in the world and has one of the fastest growing GDP’S in the world. This country is Bhutan, “Land of the Thunder Dragon”, which is located in South Asia and is encompassed by India, China, and Nepal.
Bhutan is the last standing Buddhist Kingdom in the World and, until recently, has preserved much of their culture since the l7th century by avoiding globalization and staying isolated from the world. Internet, television, and western dress were banned from the country up until ten years ago. Over the past ten years globalization has begun to change in Bhutan, but things remain perfectly balanced.
Bhutan is the only country in the world that has a ‘GNH’, which refers to “Gross National Happiness.’’The process of measuring GNH began when Bhutan opened up to globalization. It measures people’s quality of life, and makes sure that “material and spiritual development happen together.”Bhutan has done an amazing job of finding this balance. Bhutan has continually been ranked as the happiest country in all of Asia, and the eighth Happiest Country in the world according to Business Week. In 2007, Bhutan had the second fastest growing GDP in the world, at the same time as maintaining their environment and cultural identity.
In 2008,in Bhutan’s first democratic election,28-year-old Jigme KhesarNamgyel Wang Chuck was elected president of Bhutan. He promises to “maintain a stance (立场)of protection against the worst aspects of globalization, maintaining the ‘Gross National Happiness’.”But Jigme himself is no stranger to globalization. He attended high school at Phillips Academy and university at Wheaton College and then graduated from Oxford.
1、The underlined word “encompassed’’ in the first paragraph most probably means __________ .
A．covered B．surrounded
C．separated D．guarded
2、Why is Bhutan regarded as “the happiest country”?
A．Because it changes its policy and begins to open up.
B．Because it uses “GNH” to measure its achievement.
C．Because it stresses both material and spiritual development.
D．Because it has the second fastest growing GDP in the world.
3、What Can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The election in Bhutan is far from satisfactory.
B．Globalization has influenced Bhutan’s religion.
C．Jigme’s educational background will cause distrust.
D．People in Bhutan will continue living a happy life.
4、Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A． B．
C． D．
23．（8分） They hide in trees, hang from helicopters, even follow people down on motorcycles—all so that they can snap a shot of a celebrity. They are paparazzi—photographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.
This September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently following in order to take a picture.” Violators can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.
Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents (反对者) say the law restricts photojournalists from doing their job.
Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events. After all, it’s free publicity. But when they’re not in public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son.”
Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair way to keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities’ privacy.
Opponents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution (美国宪法第一修正案), which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press.”Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not single out paparazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication.
Opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “Does ‘persistently’ mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague, critics complain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographer.
The United States needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all.
1、Which of the following will be considered illegal by the new California law?
A．Paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.
B．Paparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras.
C．Paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.
D．Paparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.
2、Supporters of the new law believe that ________.
A．it prevents the media from getting worse
B．it gives photographers a fair way to compete
C．punishment forces paparazzi to quit their job
D．privacy of famous people needs special protection
3、Opponents of the new law are concerned that _________.
A．it will violate paparazzi’s privacy
B．the First Amendment will be changed
C．some photographers will be wrongly accused
D．people will not be informed of important news
4、What is the author’s attitude towards the new California law?
A．Critical. B．Neutral. C．Approving. D．Skeptical.
24．（8分） Dolphins, African gray parrots and some other animals understand the idea of “zero,” but researchers were surprised to find that honeybees also comprehend this abstract concept, considering the insects’ tiny brains, according to a new study. Honeybees have fewer than one million neurons (神经元), compared with the 86 billion neurons in humans—and yet, they grasp a concept that humans, by some measures, don’t start to understand before preschool.
The researchers set up two cards, each of which had a set of symbols on them, like triangles or circles. Then, they trained a group of the bees to fly to the card with the lower number of symbols. The bees quickly learned what the humans wanted them to do to get their delicious, sweet rewards. The trained bees were then shown a card that was empty and one that had symbols on it. There is no need for the bees to be trained to fly more often to the empty card—thus showing that they understood that “zero” was a number less than the others.
Although they flew more often to an empty card than to one that had one symbol on it, it became easier for them to distinguish when the symbols on the card increased in number. For example, they more often flew to the zero when the other card had four symbols than when it had one.
Perhaps these findings will explain the brain mechanism (机制) behind what allows us to understand the concept of “nothing,” Adrian Dyer, a researcher said. This understanding, in turn, could help in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) that also understands this concept. “If bees can understand ‘zero’ with a brain of less than a million neurons, it suggests there are simple, efficient ways to teach AI new tricks,” Dyer said in the statement.
1、What is a surprising finding for the researchers?
A．Many animals also comprehend the meaning of “zero”.
B．The number of neurons of honeybees is much smaller.
C．Honeybees can understand “zero” with their tiny brains.
D．Humans fail to recognize abstract ideas before preschool.
2、What can the bees do without further training?
A．Fly directly to the card with more symbols on it.
B．Fly less often to the card with fewer symbols on it.
C．Fly quite slowly to the card without
