Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing. A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They found that miscommunication was always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛), which in Micronesia means “yes”.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no”.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.
24. The Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ________.
A. had problems with communication B. needed to learn foreign languages
C. should often discuss their experiences D. should go abroad for vacations
25. People in Micronesia show “yes” by ________.

C. Lisa was trying to buy some cabbage.
D. In India, only shaking heads means “yes”.
C
Have you ever wondered what wild animals do when no one is watching?
Low cost, dependable and small modern cameras offered a big help. Cameras placed in hard-to-reach places have shot everything from small desert cats to larger snow-lowing cats in the northern Rocky Mountains. Scientists have been able to document the “private” moments of wildlife with leading technology.
Grant Harris is a government biologist with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In his words, “there’s no doubt that these wild cameras are important tools to learn new information on wildlife.” Harris said some images help scientists see the effects of climate change.
Researchers with the Wyoming Migration Initiative, or WMI, are among those using wild cameras along with global positioning systems, or GPS. But WMI director Matthew Kauffman says as those devices are limited, so is the amount of information they can gather from GPS. However, cameras can be left in very wild areas for days, weeks or even months. They can provide information on how many animals are moving over a given period of time.
Putting those cameras in place requires careful planning. Wild video can show details about animal behavior. However, wild cameras have their problems too. Animals such as wolverines and bears sometimes attack them. Scientists do not know if the attacks are the result of anger or interest. Also, the devices have become popular tools to help hunters look for animals. Some people argue that it is unfair to use the cameras that way.
Even with such problems, wild cameras are clearly an important scientific tool in researching wild animals.
28. What does the underlined word “document” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Remind. B. Enrich.
C. Appreciate. D. Record.
29. Which is a disadvantage of wild cameras?
A. They cannot be left in the wild over a long period.
B. They cannot be placed in hard-to-reach areas.
C. They provide limited information.
D. They might be stolen by people.
30. Why do some people argue against using wild cameras?
A. It is difficult to fix the cameras.
B. It helps hunters find animals easily.
C. It is hard to achieve careful planning.
D. It makes animals interested in the cameras.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards wild cameras?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Uncertain. D. Uncaring.
D
This season, the bushfires in Australia have burned more than 12.35 million acres of land. At least 25 people have been killed and 2000 homes destroyed. According to the BBC, this is the most casualties （伤亡）from wildfires in the country since 2009. The University of Sydney estimates that 480 million animals have died in South Wales alone.
Zeke Hausfather, an energy systems analyst and climate researcher at Berkeley Earth, said warmer temperatures and extreme weather have made Australia more susceptible to fires and increased the length of the fire season. “The drier conditions combined with record high temperatures in 2019 created main conditions for the disastrous fires. Australia’s fires were worsened by the combination of those two. 2019 was the perfect storm for being the warmest year on record for Australia and the driest year on record for Australia,” Hausfather added on Friday.
Kevin Tenberth, a senior scientist at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research, said warmer ocean temperatures also contributed to more variable weather around the world. Trenberth believes the global warming contributed to energy imbalances and hot spots in the oceans, which can create a wave in the atmosphere that locks weather patterns in places, causing longer rain events in Indonesia, for example, and at the same time contributing to drought in Australia. He said that once an area experiences drought conditions for two months or more, it increases the risk of fires catching and spreading. Those changing weather patterns due to global warming make drought events longer.
Climate experts stress that climate change is not the only factor in the severity of wildfires. How land is managed can also impact the amount of fuel available for controlled burns and other factors can impact the risk to people and property, such as warning systems and the type of development in a given area. Changing those policies has great potential to limit future damage from wildfires along with changes to how fire management resources are dispatched（派遣）.
32．What are the numbers about in Paragraph 1?
A．The causes of Australian fires. B．The property destruction of Australian fires.
C．The damaged areas of Australian fires. D．The results of Australian fires.
33．Which of the following best explains “susceptible to” in the second paragraph?
A．Very quickly to adapt to. B．Very seriously to focus on.
C．Very easily to be protected against. D．Very likely to be influenced by.
34．What can we infer from Trenberth’s research?
A．The imbalanced energy leads to the temperature rising.
B．Longer dry weather contributes to global warming.
C．Warmer ocean temperatures promote fires spreading.
D．Global warming is the root cause of the bushfires.
35．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A．To stress the effects of Australian fires.
B．To provide some advice about reducing damage.
C．To show the methods for controlling burns.
D．To predict the seriousness of Australian fires.
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。
When you’re not at home, many worries may start to crowd your mind. Did I turn the coffee maker off? Did I lock the door? Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? 36．
A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices, such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the Internet.
37． It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. 38． Besides, smart homes are easy to fix.
Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be setup with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional.
39． It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system allows its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers, who may secretly use or change the information in the system.
Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator. 40． Whatever it is, one thing is for sure — smart home technology will change the way we live and work.
A．Is there anyone else breaking into my house?
B．They can even feed the cat and water the plants.
C．With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.
D．However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect.
E. Therefore, many people th
