第二部分：阅读理解（共两节, 满分 35 分）
第一节：（共 10 小題：每小题2.5分, 满分25分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
In 1823, a young woman noticed a strange fossil on a beach near Lyme Regis, England. She dug out the bones and had them carried to her home. She carefully arranged the skeleton on a table. Then she saw something extraordinary. The creature's neck was a meter long more than half the length of its body. It was unlike any animal living on Earth.
Even at a young age, Mary Anning had a talent for spotting "curies" fossils. Her father died in 1810, leaving her family in debt, so Mary began selling her fossils to collectors. A year later, aged just 12 , she made her first major discovery---a crocodile-like skull with a long skeleton. It turned out to be a sea creature that lived long ago. Named ichthyosaur, or "fish-lizard", it was the first extinct animal known to science.
Fossil hunting brought in money, but it was a dangerous occupation. One day, a rock fall killed her dog and almost buried Mary. Despite the dangers, she continued to look for new finds. The long-necked fossil she uncovered in 1823 was another long-dead sea reptile. Known as a plesiosaur, it would inspire legends---including that of the Loch Ness Monster.
Mary was not only a skilled fossil hunter, she also carefully examined and recorded her finds. However, she received little credit from other scientists. Only one of her scientific writings was published in her lifetime, in 1839. She was also not allowed to join London's Geological Society, as only men could become members.
Mary Anning died in 1847, but her contributions have not been forgotten. Her finds are now displayed in museums in London and Paris. The beach near her home is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known as the Jurassic Coast. Her life continues to inspire visitors hoping to find their own fossil wonders. According to Britain's Natural History Museum, Mary Anning was "the greatest fossil hunter the world has ever known". She was also a scientist who changed the way we think about life on Earth.
21. The word "curies" in paragraph 2 means ____________.
A.beautiful. B. huge. C. common. D. unusual
22. Which of the following is true about Mary Anning?
A. She won high praise from other scientists.
B. She published several scientific articles in her lifetime.
C. She had a narrow escape from a rock fall near the beach.
D. She was later a member of the London Geological Society.
23. Why does the author mention a UNESCO World Heritage Site?
A. To show how Southern England has the most important fossil finds in the world.
B. To persuade the readers that the Jurassic Coast is in need of protection.
C. To give an example of how important Mary Anning's discoveries are to the world.
D. To encourage more people to find their own fossil wonders.
B
A robot the size of a large bulldozer (推土机) moves along the bottom of the deep sea. It eats metallic (含金属的) rock and soft mud. The stuff travels up a long pipe to a ship, where workers and machinery separate out the rock and throw the mud back into the ocean. This is a mining operation. The rock contains a mixture of metals, including ones called rare earth metals. People use these materials to make batteries and electronics like computers and phones.
Deepsea mining hasn't happened yet. But it probably will occur within the next decade. No country owns any part of the deep sea. So an organization called the International Seabed Authority (ISA) decides who is allowed to mine there. The ISA has allowed 29 organizations to explore the deep sea and make plans for mining. One company plans to begin mining in the year 2027.
Scientists and environmentalists, though, warn that mining could destroy deep-sea ecosystem. In 1989 , ecologist Hjalmar Thiel carried out a test. His team searched the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean, in a spot with lots of the metallic rocks that miners want. They didn't actually collect any of the rocks. But they disturbed the mud, just as a mining operation would. The plume (飘升之物) of mud fell back down over the ocean floor burying creatures living there. As of 2015, the area they disturbed had not recovered. Signs of the search are still there. Sponges (海绵动物), corals, and other animals have not moved back in. That means mining could have harmful, long-lasting consequences for deep ocean life. Scientists want to understand the deep sea better before disturbing it.
Leaving the deep sea alone sounds great, but people need those metals. "Mines on land are soon going to run out," geologist Steven Scott of the University of Toronto told Smithsorian Magazine, "Every electronic device in the world has rare earth metals in it... we need raw resources." New energy technologies including solar and wind power and electric cars, rely on these metals as well. We may need to mine them from the sea in order to switch to greener energy sources.
24. Why is a deep-sea mining operation carried out?
A. To test the function of the underwater robot.
B. To separate the rock from the mud.
C. To obtain rare earth metals.
D. To study the elements of the deep-sea mud.
25. What can we learn about ISA according to the passage?
A. It possesses the ownership of the whole deep sea.
B. It may help the deep-sea exploration carried out scientifically.
C. It can make the deep-sea natural resources shared fairly.
D. It works out mining plans for different countries.
26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. People depend on rare earth metals for car production.
B. We mustn't mine anything from the deep sea.
C. Deep-sea resources will replace those on land.
D. Rare earth metals help us develop green energy.
C
Every summer, the calls of thousands of swamp sparrows can be heard across North America's wetlands. These little brown birds know only a few songs, but they know them very well. In fact, their musical set list probably hasn't changed much for centuries.
Like humans, baby swamp sparrows learn to communicate by copying adults. From a young age, they learn to copy, or mimic, songs sung by their elders. "Swamp sparrows very rarely make mistakes when they learn their songs," says biologist Robert Lachlan. In fact, their mimiery is so accurate that the music changes little between generations.
Just like children, the sparrows don't remember every song they hear, Lachlan says. "They don't just learn songs at random; they pick up commoner songs rather than rarer songs." In other words, they learn songs they hear most often. It's an example of a strategy that scientists call conformist bias. Until recently, this learning ability was thought to be special only to humans.
Between 2008 and 2009, Lachlan's research team recorded the calls of 615 male swamp sparrows across the northeastern United States. The researchers used computer software to break each song into a collection of notes, or syllables. They then measured the differences between the tunes.
The research revealed that only 2 percent of male sparrows sang a different song from the standard tune. The combination of accurate mimicry and conformist bias allows the birds to create traditions that last for centuries. "With those two ingredients together, you end up with traditions that are really stable," says Lachlan. "The song-types that you hear in the marshes (沔地) of North America today may well have been there 1,000 years ago." Lachlan's study is also among the first to measure the longevity of song traditions within a bird species.
The findings are really exciting, says scientist Andrew Farnsworth. He hopes that future research will evolve from these studies. For example, scientists may be able to identify how other animals are able to preserve their cultural traditions. "Seeing the potential for it in other organisms is super cool," says Farnsworth.
27. What do we know about Lachlan's research?
A. The calls of 615 female swamp sparrows were recorded.
B. Accurate mimicry allows the birds to create the centuries-long traditions.
C. It aimed to study swamp sparrows' learning ability.
D. Computer technology helped a lot during the research.
28. Which of the following is an example of conformist bias?
A. A new slang word becomes popular with a group of teenagers.
B. A dog learns to do a trick because its owner rewards it regularly.
C. A student memorizes historical events for a history exam.
D. A student loves singing and joins the school chorus.
29. What is Andrew Farnsworth's attitude towards the findings?
A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Conservative.
30Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Amazing Lifespan of Swamp Sparrows.
B. The Traditional Musical Set List of Swamp Sparrows.
C. The Evolution of Swamp Sparrows in North America.
D. The Great Learning Ability of Swamp Sparrows.

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。
For average working people, they normally change their careers five to seven times throughout their whole lives. __31__ Without that, you are just a dreamer.
