(2022·安徽)Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big,tough African elephants running away,a new study says.Beehives (蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmers' crops.
In 2002,scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them.Today,Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops.But before she asked farmers to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms,she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder.Then she threw a stone into the beehive,which burst into life.Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down.Next,Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.
From a distance,Lucy switched on the prerecorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera.Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds.Out of a total of 17 groups,only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees.Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them.When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families,the animals were undisturbed.Even after four minutes,most of the groups stayed in one place.
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times.She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know,but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers.She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.

Passage 3
体裁:谈论文 话题:社会文化 时间:7分钟
(2022·山西高三四校联考)Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology(意识形态) that biology is destiny.According to this ideology,basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes.These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life.Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally.Thus,they are naturally suited,much more so than men,to the performance of domestic(家庭的) duties.A woman's place,under normal circumstances,is within the protective environment of the home.Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles,such as wife and mother and homemaker.On the other hand,men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics,where serious responsibilities must be taken on.Men are to be the providers;women and children are “dependents”.
The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex.It is appropriate for women,not men,to be employed as nurses,social workers,elementary school teachers,household helpers,clerks and secretaries.These positions are simply an extension of women's domestic role.Informal distinctions between “women's work” and “men's work”in the labor force,according to the ideology,are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.
Finally,the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way.For the human species to survive over time,its members must regularly reproduce.Thus,women must,whether at home or in the labor force,make the most of their physical appearances.
So goes the ideology.It is,of course,not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sexdefined roles in social life.There is enough evidence that sex roles vary from society to society,and those_role_differences_that_do_exist_are_largely_learned.
But to some degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intends men and women to make different contributions to society,so sexdefined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.
【语篇导读】 本文论述了男女性别差异的根源,认为男女在社会中所扮演的不同的角色是由男女之间生理和心理两方面的差异造成的。
1.According to the biologyisdestiny ideology,women ______.
A.cannot compete with men in any field
B.are more suited to domestic jobs than men
C.are sensitive enough to be a good caretaker
D.are too weak to do any agricultural work at all
解析 细节理解题。依据第一段中的“Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally.Thus,they are naturally suited,much more so than men,to the performance of domestic(家庭的) duties.”可知,女性比男性更适合做家务,选择B项。
答案 B
2.Those who have prejudices against women think that ______.
A.women shouldn't go out for work
B.women should earn money to add the family income
C.women going out for work should only do “women's work”
D.women should take jobs to drill the special capabilities of the sex
解析 细节理解题。依据其次段的第一句“The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex.”可知,对女性有偏见的人认为,那些想走出家门到外面工作的女性自然应当只做适合女性的工作。
答案 C
3.The author thinks that the positions women hold outside________.
A.are determined by what they are better suited to
B.grow out of their household responsibilities
C.represent their breakthrough of sex discrimination
D.are physically and emotionally suitable to them

Passage 4
体裁:记叙文 话题:人生百态 时间:7分钟
The Olympic medal ceremonies have already begun.But some athletes hardly disguise their disappointment when silver and not gold is hung around their necks.The British judo silver medallist Neil Adams calls his two from the 1980s “loser's medals”.
Until four years ago,they were in a box at the back of a cupboard.His wife then had them framed for his 50th birthday and they are now up on the wall.
Adams feels proud when he looks at them,but his thoughts quickly turn to “what ifs”.“I wouldn't change much”,he adds.And he wouldn't need to.Gold was within his grasp twice,but slipped away by a narrow margin on the judo mat.
“The losses at the Olympic Games were the most difficult thing for me to accept,” he said.“I didn't win the silver medal.I lost the gold.In my mind they were losses.It has taken more than 30 years to get over it.”
Mark Cavendish,Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah have never won Olympic gold,but they came into London 2022 as three of Team GB's biggest medal hopes.Unfortunately,Cavendish has already suffered disappointment in the cycling road race.Neil Adams was in that same position in both the 1980 and 1984 games.However,in a career in which he collected every other judo accolade,things simply went wrong at the Olympic
