第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） “Be afraid. Be very afraid,” says a character in The Fly, a horror film about a man who turns into an enormous insect. It captures the unease and disgust people often feel for the kingdom of cockroaches, Zika-carrying mosquitoes and creepy crawlies of all kinds. However, ecologists increasingly see the insect world as something to be frightened for, not frightened of. In the past two years, scores of scientific studies have suggested that trillions of murmuring, droning, honeybees, butterflies and beetles are dying off. “If all mankind were to disappear”, wrote E.O.Wilson, a respectable entomologist, “the world would regenerate… If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.”
Most of the studies describe declines of 50% and more over decades in different measures of insect health. The immediate reaction is shock. Insects enable plants to reproduce, through pollination (授粉), and are food for other animals, so a collapse in their numbers would be catastrophic.
But a second look leads to a different assessment. Rather than causing a panic, the studies should act as a timely warning and a reason to take precautions. That is because the worst fears are unproven. There are no studies at all of wild insect numbers in most of the world Reliable data are too scarce to declare a global emergency.
Moreover, where the evidence does show a collapse—in Europe and America—agricultural and rural ecosystems are holding up. Farm production still remains high. As some insect species die out, others seem to be moving into the niches (生态位) they have left, keeping ecosystems going, although with less biodiversity than before. It is hard to argue that insect decline is yet causing significant economic damage.
But there are complications. Agricultural productivity is not the only measure of environmental health. Animals have value, independent of any direct economic contribution they may make. The more species make up an ecosystem, the more stable it is likely to be. The extinction of a few insect species among so many might not make a big difference. The loss of hundreds of thousands would.
And the scale of the observed decline raises doubts about how long ecosystems can remain resilient (能复原的). An experiment in which researchers gradually pulled out insect pollinators from fields found that plant diversity held up well until about 90% of insects had been removed. Then it collapsed. Given the lack of data, it is impossible to know how close Europe and America are to an ecosystem collapse. But it would be reckless to find out by actually triggering one.
1、What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph imply?
A．Ecologists have long been afraid of those disgusting insects.
B．Ecologists are worried about the disappearance of some insects.
C．Ecologists have already got rid of the prejudiced feeling about insects.
D．Ecologists are respectful of the insect’s ability to regenerate themselves.
2、What conclusion can we draw from the studies conducted in the past 2 years?
A．Though there is a decline in the number of insects, we still have the reason to be optimistic.
B．Biodiversity can cause immediate damage so that we should take precautions right away.
C．Data collected from all over the world is convincing to prove our environment is at risk.
D．The consequence of decreasing biodiversity may be more serious than we can imagine.
3、What is the purpose of writing the passage?
A．To show the magical power of our mother nature.
B．To analyze why insects are on the edge of extinction.
C．To draw people’s attention to the decreasing insects.
D．To urge the scientists to collect more data about insects.
22．（8分） New study shows that when teachers participate in a training program focused on prosocial (亲社会的) classroom behavior, their students are better able to control their emotions, and that children who can regulate emotions are more likely to be academically successful.
For the study which appears in Prevention Science, researchers looked at more than 100 teachers and 1,817 students from kindergarten to third grade to see if teachers could support students’ emotional and behavioral growth through the Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management (IYTCM) program.
The program uses videos and training sessions, along with role-playing and coaching, to help teachers learn management skills such as using behavior-specific praise, building positive relationships with students, and considering how to reduce poor behavior. Teachers in the training group increased interactions with students by 64 percent compared with 53 percent for teachers in the control group without the training.
“Emotional regulation is the ability to recognize what behavior is appropriate in the present situation,” says Wendy Reinke, professor in the College of Education at the University of Missouri. “For example, a student might have difficulty controlling the feeling of anger if he or she becomes annoyed with another student. But under this program, the teacher encourages them to move to a different spot in the classroom, effectively teaching them that sometimes stepping away and taking a break is a good way to calm down and manage8ha8feeling.”
After one school year of using the program in classrooms, students improved their social ability and ability to regulate their emotions. These improvements resulted in an increase in the tests for students in Incredible Years classrooms vs. students in control classrooms. And this classroom management approach can help reduce the risk for struggling learners early on, which could help prevent more accumulative support needs in a child’s future.
1、What do the teachers do in the IYTCM program?
A．Learn how to identify poor behavior.
B．Offer the researchers advice on emotional control.
C．Take care of kids from kindergarten to third grade.
D．Apply different ways to learning how to manage kids.
2、What do Wendy Reinke’s words suggest in Para. 4?
A．Now it is hard for students to control their anger.
B．A calm manner is an effective way to handle problems.
C．Few can realize their behavior is unfit for a situation.
D．The program will show how to handle troublesome kids.
3、What is the author’s attitude towards the training program?
A．Positive. B．Negative.
C．Subjective. D．Indifferent.
4、What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Study results of the program are entirely unexpected.
B．The program advances the students’ academic performance.
C．Students in control classrooms can better control their emotions.
D．Students change their bad behavior shortly through the program.
23．（8分）It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon rainforest. Without it we would not have grown into primates (灵长类动物) . Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn’t have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.
Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition. It isn’t competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition --- the simultaneous (同时) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrinents, living space, or light --- better explains it.
As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin’s theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstance, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student’s fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.
Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy 妒忌) can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.
1、What does the ecological definition mainly explain?
A．How to win the competition. B．What competition exactly is.
C．What the result of competition is. D．How friends compete with each other.
2、According to the writer, what causes the high school students to compete?
A．They know the laws of nature well. B．Friendship is a burden for them.
C．The number of them is too large. D．They are divided into different groups.
3、Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?
A．Friendship is always based on competition.
B．Competition is a result of lost friendship.
C．Competition is terribly harmful to friendships.
D．The degree of competition is vital to friendship.
4、What does the author think of “competition”?
A．Competition is certain to happen at school.
B．The result of competition are out of control.
C．Competition becomes fierce in high school.
D．Friendship is not as important as competition at school.
24．（8分） Hacking isn’t just for computers and smart phones. According to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plant’s genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world.
Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants’ genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants.
Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists say this is a very slow process. Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plant’s genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14 and 20 percent. Scientists hacked the plant’s protective system. Normally, this system starts when a plant gets too much sunlight. When the plant senses the light, it creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off. But the process is slow.
The new study sped up the process by changing the plant’s genes, the protective system turned on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 14 percent. Scientists conducted the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic changes would produce the same results in corn and rice.
Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study makes sense, but cautioned the yield（产量）might not be quite so high for conventional food crops. Still, she added in an email, “this study r
