　　S

　　ix test elephants, each paired with a partner, at the Thai Elephant Conservation Center in Lampang quickly learned that whether they were led to the rope ends at the same time or not, pulling together meant corn.

　　Working in pairs, elephants learned to pull on the rope together to get tasty corn, says psychologist Joshua Plotnik, now at the University of Cambridge in England. The animals didn’t just learn a trick by rote (机械地), he says, but rather showed signs of grasping the basics of how cooperation works.

　　For example, elephants alone at the snack site learned not to pull at the rope or leave before their partners arrived up to 45 seconds later to help with the task, Plotnik and his colleagues report online March 7 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “That’s a long time for an animal waiting for food，” he says.

　　And elephants weren’t just learning that they needed a partner beside them, Plotnik says. When researchers positioned one end of the rope so the partner could arrive but was unable to do any useful pulling, the first elephant sometimes gave up the hopeless task and turned away, even when the partner was still in place.

　　Understanding elephant cognition has special urgency these days, Plotnik says. He hopes that better understanding the animals will lead to new strategies for reducing conflicts between elephants and expanding human populations nearby.

　　()36. What was the use of the rope in the test?

　　A. To attract the elephants to the platform.

　　B. To keep the elephants from the platform.

　　C. To help keep the bowls of corn on the platform.

　　Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.

　　Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

　　Events such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and tornadoes are all natural disasters. They are mostly related to the weather. Some are predictable—like a hurricane. Some, like an earthquake, surprise us. It is necessary for us to learn about them, so we can be prepared!

　　Flooding happens during heavy rains, when rivers overflow, when ocean waves come onshore, when snow melts too fast or when dams or banks break. Flooding is the most common of all natural disasters.

　　Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and in the Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters. Evaporation from the seawater increases their power.

　　Hurricanes have winds at least 74 miles per hour. When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars. Tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms. Tornadoes must always be taken seriously. Tornadoes can be very dangerous—sometimes even deadly. They come from powerful thunderstorms and appear as moving. Tornado winds can reach 300 miles per hour. They cause damage when they land the ground. They can damage an area one mile wide and 50 miles long.

　　While thunder won’t hurt you—lightning will! So it’s important to pay attention when you hear thunder. Thunderstorms happen mostly in summer and every thunderstorm has lightning. Lightning can strike people and buildings, which is very dangerous.

　　Thunderstorms affect small areas when compared with hurricanes and winter storms. The typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 30 minutes.

　　A volcano is a mountain with a large opening at the top through which melting rock, steam, gases escape from time to time with violent force from inside the earth. When pressure increases, eruptions occur. Gases and rock coming through the opening fill the air with small pieces. Eruptions can cause lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, falling ash and floods, which is likely to knock down entire forests, cause floods and earthquakes. Fresh volcanic ash can cause damage to the lungs of older people, babies and people with respiratory problems. 【答案】 41．Natural disasters　42.hurricanes　43.volcanic/eruptions　44.Reasons / Causes　45.snow melting　46.thunderstorms 47．lightning　48.Damage / Effects　49.people and buildings　50.respiratory problems Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.

　　The United Nations estimates that there are now seven billion people on Earth. Populations are growing faster than economies in many poor countries in Africa and Asia. At the same time, low birth rates in Japan and many European nations have raised concerns. There may not be enough people to fill jobs in the future.

　　Population experts at the United Nations estimate that the world’s population reached six billion in October 1999. They predict it will reach nine billion by 2050, and ten billion by the end of the century.

　　China has a population of 1.3 billion, which is currently the world’s largest. India is second at 1.2 billion. But India is expected to pass China and reach 1.5 billion people around 2025. India will also have one of the world’s youngest populations.

　　In India, young people will gain many skills in their country’s growing economy. At the same time, other countries will have aging populations. But economists say that current growth rates, although high, may not create enough jobs.

　　Also, the public education system is failing. There are too many students in many places. Schooling is often of poor quality. Another concern is health care. Nearly half of India’s children under the age of five are malnourished. Sarah Crowe at the United Nations Children’s Fund in New Delhi says these_two_problems “could keep India back.”

　　Michal Rutkowski is the director of human development in South Asia at the World Bank. He says the seven billionth person was likely to be a girl, born in rural Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh is one of India’s poorest and most crowded states, with nearly 200 million people.

　　He says reaching seven billion people in the world is a good time for a call to action. 51.

　　假设你参加所在年级的英文写作比赛，请按如下要求完成一篇短文： 1．简要描述下图内容并点明主题； 2．联系实际，表达该图带给你的启示； 3．不少于120词。 One possible version：

　　Water plays a very important part in our life and water resource is very limited and precious, which nowadays many people are starting to pay attention to. As is described in the picture, like saving money, the lovely and smiling piggy bank is collecting every drop of water falling from the water tap.

　　However, still some people haven’t realized the serious problem of water shortage, which is still threatening the existence and survival of the whole human being, and the phenomenon of wasting water can still be found easily anywhere in our daily life. For example, water taps are frequently left on by careless users. Someone even think that they have the right to waste water because they pay for it so that it has nothing to do with others. In fact, so precious is water that we cannot afford to waste it. Water resource is important not only in our daily life but also in industry and agriculture. Water is the wealth of the whole mankind, and it is hard to imagine what the world would be like when there is no more water.

　　Therefore all the people should first become aware of the importance of water and meanwhile further measures must be taken, and every one of us should fight against waste of water in order to protect the limited and precious water resource. Let’s do whatever we can from now on to save and store every drop of water.

　　Part Ⅱ　Reading Comprehension (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. The passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

　　In a test of cooperation(合作), elephants know when two trunks are better than one.

　　To design a test appropriate for elephants, the researchers put two bowls of tasty corn on the front edge of a platform, around which was a single rope with its two ends lying where elephants showed up for a snack. When a pair of elephants pulled the ends of the rope simultaneously, the platform bearing the corn slid within reach. One important feature was that if one end of the rope was pulled before or without the other, the rope slipped from the platform so no snacks would be available during that particular round of testing.
