A new study has found the amount of antibiotics(抗生素) given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the rising demand for meat, milk and eggs. However, the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant(对抗生素有抗药性的) infections. Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.
Experts say when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better. For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat. With the rapid development of Asia, people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and dairy products as they did 50 years ago.
To meet that demand, farms have put many animals into smaller spaces. As the animals are crowded together, the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics. It's clear that antibiotics help the animals stay healthy in a crowded environment and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually. 
Nowadays, doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work. The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs. The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23,000 die from an infection.
Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.
1.What accounts for the increasing amount of antibiotics given to farm animals?
A.The need for eating diversely.
B.The limited farm technology.
C.The less effective antibiotics.
D.The development of the economy.
2.What does getting rid of poverty mean for most people?
A.Making a lot of money.
B.Having more meat to eat. 
C.Living in a better environment.
D.Focusing more on health.
3.From the passage, we can infer that using too many antibiotics in farm animals    . 
A.causes animals to get infected more easily
B.will lead to the failure of all the antibiotics
C.makes antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to people
D.has a negative effect on the growth of animals 
4.What's the passage mainly about?
A.A new way of raising farm animals.
B.The abuse of antibiotics in farm animals.
C.The disadvantages of using antibiotics.
D.The reason for banning the use of antibiotics.
答案
1.D 推理判断题。根据第一段的Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the rising demand for meat, milk and eggs.和第二段可知,在饲养农场牲畜过程中使用的抗生素增加,是因为对肉、奶、蛋的需求的增加,这是经济发展的结果,故D项正确。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第二段的when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better. For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat.可知B项正确。
3.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide...可知,在农场牲畜体内过多使用抗生素,是造成在全球范围内对抗生素的抗药性细菌增加的原因。
4.B 主旨大意题。B项意为“对农场牲畜滥用抗生素。”,符合文章主题。

三:阅读训练
A few weeks ago, I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonation(语调)of the driver's accent washed over me in a familiar way.
I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate:I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. That's how he found out I went to Harvard. An approving eye glinted(闪烁)at me in the rear-view mirror, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of the rider and the driver. I became his daughter, all grown up—the product of his sacrifice.
And then came the fateful question:What do you study?I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn't even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”
Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids knew. We are to become doctors(or lawyers, if our parents are being generous)—to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple:Fulfill your role in the narrative(故事)of upward mobility so your children can do the same.
I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I'm grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I've promised myself I won't get annoyed at their inquiries. I won't defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school” when I get unrequested advice. I'll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.
1.What disappointed the driver?
A.The author's attitude towards him.
B.The school that the author is studying in.
C.The author's major in history and literature.
D.The author's interest in African-American studies.
2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “squandering” in Paragraph 4?                     
A.Wasting.    B.Creating.    C.Valuing.    D.Seizing.
3.Why are immigrant kids expected to be doctors or lawyers?
A.They are very smart in general. 
B.They have more opportunities.
C.Their parents are high achieving as well.
D.Their parents want them to move upward in society.
4.How did the author feel about the driver's questioning?
A.Getting upset.
B.Feeling satisfied.
C.Defending herself.
D.Appreciating his concern.
答案
1.C 事实细节题。本题题干意为:是什么使得那位司机很失望?根据第三段最后一句中...his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”(他的声音中满是失望:“你费了这么大的劲进了哈佛,就学历史?”)可知作者选择的专业使那位司机感到失望,故答案为C项。
2.A 猜测词义题。本题题干意为:下面哪个词可以替换第四段中的画线词“squandering”?由那位司机的情感变化(先是自豪,然后失望,再接下来对我的一番教训)线索可推出:他认为我“浪费了”自己生命中最大的机遇,故答案为A项(浪费)。
3.D 事实细节题。本题题干意为:为什么移民的孩子都被期望成为医生或律师?根据第四段最后一句中Fulfill your role in the narrative(故事)of upward mobility so your children can do the same.可知答案为D项(他们的父母想让他们进入上层社会)。
4.D 事实细节题。本题题干意为:作者对于那位司机的提问感觉如何?根据最后一段尤其是第一句I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I'm grateful for their support more than anything.(我过去常会因这种提问感到焦虑并退到角落里,但现在作为一名大三的学生,我对他们的支持只有感激)可知答案为D项(感谢他的关心)。

The arm bones of women who lived 7,000 years ago show a surprising level of strength—even higher than today's professional athletes. That's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的)bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history—the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.
“Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that the bone is living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through,” said the lead author Alison Macintosh. “Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time.”
“Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones,” the researchers said, “and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a more settled agrarian(耕地的)one, changes could be observed in the structure of the shinbone(胫骨)and these changes were much more evident in men.”
However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women and the bones of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. “By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient bones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were performing,” Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasn't changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11%—16% stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30% stronger than those of non-athletes.
1.What does the study tell about prehistoric women?
A.They were stronger than men.
B.They had lighter bones than men.
C.They did tough tasks as the men.
D.They spent most time staying at home.
2.What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?
A.They lacked enough comparison.
B.They only studied men's bones.
C.They focused little on bones.
D.They ignored the lifestyles.
3.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Bones' structure.
B.Bones' thickness.
C.Bones' response to stress.
D.Bones' stress from hard labor.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.It's still hard to explain our ancestors' lifestyle.
B.Prehistoric women went through much suffering.
C.Women's arms have become much stronger over time.
D.Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females.
答案
1.C 事实细节题。本题题干意为:关于史前女性,该研究讲述了什么?根据第一段中的The finding suggests a revision of history—the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.可知,史前女性的日常生活充满了重体力劳动,而不是当男性为生活拼搏时,她们只是坐在家里做一些轻松的工作。故答案为C项。
2.A 推理判断题。本题题干意为:以前对史前骨骼的研究有什么问题?根据第三段第一句“Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones,” the researchers said,“and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women...”(研究者们说:“以前的研究只将女性的骨骼与同时代男性骨骼进行比较,那是有问题的,因为男性骨骼对压力及变化的反应要比女性的更明显……”)可推知,以前的研究缺乏充分的对比,故答案为A项。
3.C 猜测词义题。本题题干意为:第三段中画线词“that”指的是什么?that代替前面的the response以避免重复,故答案为C项。
4.D 事实细节题。本题题干意为:从最后一段中我们可以了解什么?根据最后一段中最后一句Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11%—16% stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30% stronger than those of non-athletes.(研究人员发现:史前女性的臂力比现在那些划船者的要强壮11%—16%,比那些非运动员的要强壮30%。)可知,史前女性要比当今女性更强壮,故答案为D项。

三:阅读训练
Sometimes we experience pain that seems just too big to feel, too frightening to face—it looks like a tsunami. So, we run. My tsunami came when I was nine years old.
I was woken up by my mother's screams—“Bob?Bob?Bob!”I ran to my parents' bedroom. My father was on all fours, unconscious. My mother was crazy—desperately trying to figure out how to stop what was happening. I ran to the phone—911, the neighbors, anyone—“Help us!”Soon rescue came, but my father didn't come back to life.
When my friends came to comfort me, I remembered“pulling myself together”as I walked toward them, determining to show them that I was fine.
The more I denied my pain, the more I was praised by the adults around me—“Oh, look how strong he is!” So, I kept saying“I'm fine”over and over. I said it enough—performed it enough—that I even fooled myself. I believed that I was okay.
But pain doesn't just “go away”—that whole “time heals” thing is a total crock. 30 years after my father died, when I looked around for an explanation for all the years of destructive behavior, I couldn't find the root of the pain in my life because I had covered it up so well. All the“I'm fine”—30 years of them—buried the pain of that nine-year-old boy.
My pain had been trying to come out, to be heard, to be healed.
And, finally, it was.
After years of treatment, I found my way back to that night where the pain started, back to the tsunami. This time, I didn't run. It hurt—it still hurts—but now, when it hurts, I let the pain come. I'm not scared to say,“I'm not fine”—because I know, eventually, I will be.
1.What did the author do when his father was in danger?
A.He ran out to look for rescue.
B.He kept calm and asked for help.
C.He offered first aid to him at once.
D.He was too afraid to do anything.                  
2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word“crock”in Paragraph 5?
A.Fact.                B.Theory.
C.Experiment.    D.Lie.
3.Why was the author praised?
A.He behaved politely.
B.He seemed to be confident.
C.He could look after himself.
D.He could handle the blow properly.
4.What lesson can we get from the author's experience?
A.Hiding our pain can be harmful.
B.Expressing pain is not very easy.
C.Being strong means hiding one's pain.
D.Children are good at covering up their pain.

三:阅读训练
Lack of inexpensive, reliable energy delivery is one of the chief barriers to growth and development in sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly seventy percent of people living in the region lack access to electricity, forcing them to spend significant amounts of their income on costly and unhealthy forms of energy such as diesel(柴油)fuel to run generators and kerosene(煤油)for lanterns.
But if there is one thing Africa is not lacking, it is sunshine. And that means a lot;indeed, for some of the world's poorest people, it makes all the difference in the world.
A little more than a year ago, Power Africa—a U.S. Government initiative(倡议)coordinated by the U. S. Agency for International Development, or USAID—and Power Africa's partners, the United Kingdom Department for International Development, Shell Foundation, and the African Development Bank, started the Scaling Off-Grid Energy Grand Challenge for Development, with a focus on pay-as-you-go solar home systems. The Challenge's goal is to provide 20 million off-grid(离网)households in sub-Saharan Africa with clean, affordable electricity by 2030. So far, the Challenge has made 40-plus investments in early-stage, off-grid energy companies, which are expected to result in some 4.8 million new electrical connections.
One reason for the success of the start-up companies that have won grants(资助)from the Challenge is the fact that the cost of solar technology is falling fast, so it is within the means of those who live away from traditional power grids. And thanks to the new system of mobile money and pay-as-you-go financing, they can purchase the solar power-generating equipment they need and pay for it in daily installments(分期付款)from their telephones, for as little as 15 cents a day.
Thanks to the technological and financial innovation(创新), many people are getting electricity for the first time every day. In these newly-electrified communities, businesses can boom, clinics can safely store vaccines, and students may study long after dark. Indeed, access to clean and reliable electricity can enable entire communities to escape the cycle of extreme poverty.
1.What is the main problem people in sub-Saharan Africa are faced with, according to Paragraph 1?
A.They are lack of electricity.
B.They are lack of diesel fuel and kerosene.
C.They are lack of money.
D.They are lack of sunshine.
2.What's the aim of Power Africa?
A.To make people richer.
B.To make people healthier.
C.To provide people with clean food and water.
D.To provide people with inexpensive electricity.
3.Which is NOT the reason for the success of the start-up companies?
A.The cost of solar technology is dropping.
B.They live away from traditional power grids.
C.They can use the new system of mobile money and pay-as-you-go financing.
D.They can pay for the equipment in daily low installments.
4.The text is especially helpful for those who care about   . 
A.agriculture    B.environment    C.technology    D.education
答案
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Lack of inexpensive, reliable energy delivery is one of the chief barriers to growth and development in sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly seventy percent of people living in the region lack access to electricity”可知生活在非洲撒哈拉沙漠以南地区的人们面临着的一个主要问题是缺少电力供应,故选A项。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Challenge's goal is to provide 20 million off-grid(离网) households in sub-Saharan Africa with clean, affordable electricity by 2030.”可知Power Africa的目的是为人们提供负担得起的电,故选D项。

It's easy to think that the globe's vast oceans would be effective barriers to the movement of land animals. An elephant can't swim across the Pacific, after all. But it turns out that plenty of plants and animals have unintentionally floated across oceans from one continent to another. Now comes evidence that tiny trapdoor spiders(活板门蛛)made such a journey millions of years ago.
Moggridgea rainbowi spiders can be found on Kangaroo Island, which sits off the south coast of Australia. “These spiders build a silk-lined burrow(洞穴)in the ground,” noted Sophie Harrison, a biologist in Australia. The burrow and the trapdoor provide these spiders with shelter and protection. They also offer them an out-of-sight spot from which they can wait for approaching prey(猎物).
There is evidence, though, that the ancestors of them might have traveled millions of meters to get to Australia from Africa. That isn't as unlikely as it might at first seem. Australia used to be connected to other continents, long ago, as part of a supercontinent called Gondwana. And humans have been known to transport species(物种)all over the planet. But there's a third option. The spiders might have rafted(乘筏)long distances across the sea.
To figure out which story was most likely true, Harrison and her colleagues looked at the spiders' genes. They looked at the genes in seven Moggridgea rainbowi spiders from Kangaroo Island, and five species of Moggridgea rainbowi spiders from South Africa. The Australian and African spiders split off from a common ancestor some 2 million to 16 million years ago, the genes showed.
If a large swatch(块)of land washes into the sea, filled with arachnids(蛛形纲动物), the spiders may be able to hide themselves throughout the journey. Plus, they can “hold their breath” and survive on stored oxygen during periods of temporary flooding, the researchers note.
1.What is the common belief about land animals according to the text?                    
A.They are sensitive to natural disasters.
B.They are unlikely to move across oceans.
C.They can't make a long ocean voyage.
D.They float across oceans accidentally.
2.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The biologists.    B.The Australians.
C.The spiders.    D.The prey.
3.How did the researchers conclude Australian and African spiders are from a common ancestor?
A.By comparing their genes.
B.By observing their living habits.
C.By making changes to their genes.
D.By studying their physical characteristics.
4.What could be the best title for the text?
A.These Spiders Traveled Globally to Hide Themselves
B.These Spiders Became More Adaptive when Traveling
C.These Spiders Crossed an Ocean to Australia for Survival
D.These Spiders Crossed an Ocean to Become Australian Spiders

What's small, buzzes here and there and visits flowers?If you say bees or hummingbirds, you get it. You won't be the first if you mix the two up. Now a group of researchers even say we should embrace our history of considering the two together in the same group. The way scientists study bees could help them study hummingbird behavior, too.
Scientists first compared the two back in the 1970s when studying how animals searched for food. The idea is that animals use a kind of math to make choices in order to minimize the work it takes to earn maximum rewards. Researchers at the time focused on movement rules, like the order in which they visited flowers, and where flowers were located to others. “It was ‘almost like an algorithm(算法)’ for efficient searching,” said David Pritchard, a biologist at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Hummingbirds and bees had similar solutions.
As the field of animal cognition(认知)appeared, hummingbird and bee research parted. Neuroscientists and behavioral ecologists developed ways to study bee behavior in naturalistic settings. Hummingbird researchers compared hummingbirds to other birds and borrowed methods from psychology to study their ability to learn in the lab. To be fair, hummingbirds and bees differ. For example, hummingbirds have more advanced eyes and brains than bees. Honeybees and bumblebees are social;hummingbirds typically aren't.
“But however they perceive(察觉到)or process information, they both experience similar information,” Dr. Pritchard said. In day-to-day searching for food, for example, hummingbirds may rely on more of a bee's-eye view than a bird's-eye view. Like other birds, they rely on landmarks, distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances, but they don't use these cues to find flowers. Move a flower just an inch or so away from where a hummingbird thought it was and it will hover over the flower's original location. Dr. Pritchard is investigating if, like bees, hummingbirds engage in view matching—hovering, scanning snapshots of a place to their memory and using those as references later.
1.What is the center of the research on hummingbirds and bees in the 1970s?                     
A.Memory.
B.Movement rules.
C.Reward calculating.
D.Information processing.
2.Which subject's research methods were adopted to study the learning ability of hummingbirds?
A.Math.        B.Biology.
C.Ecology.       D.Psychology.
3.How do researchers find out that hummingbirds are not like other birds?
A.By setting them free.    B.By moving flowers.
C.By matching view.        D.By making maps.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Hummingbirds and Bees
B.Hummingbirds in the Lab
C.New Trends in Studying Bees
D.Thinking of Hummingbirds as Bees
答案
1B 事实细节题。本题题干意为:在20世纪70年代对蜂鸟和蜜蜂的研究中心是什么?根据题干中的“in the 1970s”可知答案区间在第二段。由其中的“Researchers at the time focused on movement rules, like the order in which they visited flowers...”(那时的研究人员关注它们的运动规律,如:它们采花粉的顺序……)可知答案为B项。A项(记忆力),C项(计算奖励),D项(信息处理)在第二段中均未提及,故排除。
2.D 事实细节题。本题题干意为:在研究蜂鸟的学习能力时(研究人员)使用了哪个学科的研究方法?根据文章第三段中的“Hummingbird researchers compared hummingbirds to other birds and borrowed methods from psychology to study their ability to learn in the lab.(蜂鸟研究人员在实验室把蜂鸟与其他鸟类进行对比并引用了心理学的方法研究了它们的学习能力。)”可知答案为D项(心理学)。
3B 事实细节题。本题题干意为:研究人员是如何发现蜂鸟和其他鸟类不同的?根据最后一段中的“Like other birds, they rely on landmarks, distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances, but they don't use these cues to find flowers. Move a flower just an inch or so away from where a hummingbird thought it was and it will hover over the flower's original location.(在长途飞行时,蜂鸟像其他鸟类那样,靠地标、距离和方向来绘制地图,但它们不用这些线索寻找花朵。把一朵花从蜂鸟认为其所在的位置挪动大约一英寸,蜂鸟还会在花朵原来的位置上方盘旋。)可知答案为B项(通过移动花朵)。A:通过释放它们;C:通过视图匹配;D:通过绘制地图。
4.D 主旨大意题。由全文大意并结合第一段中的“Now a group of researchers even say we should embrace our history of considering the two together in the same group. The way scientists study bees could help them study hummingbird behavior, too.(现在一组研究人员甚至说我们应该欣然接受把这两种动物放在同一个组里考虑的历史。科学家研究蜜蜂的方法也可帮助他们研究蜂鸟的行为。)”可确定本题答案为D项(把蜂鸟看作蜜蜂)。

三:阅读训练
From December 5—11, millions of kids in over 180 countries will take part in The Hour of Code challenge, which coincides with Computer Science Week. It is organized by Seattle-based non-profit Code. org every year. It was created to inspire students of all backgrounds and ages to love computer science, and then consider a career in software engineering.
During the Hour, which can be set aside any time of the week, participants can try programming using one or more of the free tutorials(教程) offered on the Code. org's website.
The sessions that are organized by age and experience level and available in 45 languages, begin with a brief introduction to computer science. Then comes the fun part—coding. With tasks that include solving a problem for Disney's daring teenager Moana, taking Alex or Steve on an adventure through a Minecraft world, or building a Star Wars Galaxy, there is something to interest everyone.
Started in 2013, The Hour of Code is now one of the biggest global learning events. While schools are the biggest participants, corporations(法人) have started organizing The Hour of Code events as well. For schools that want to go beyond the Hour, Code. org has created computer science courses. Available for elementary, middle, and high schools, they can be used by educators to offer computer science as a subject during the school year. According to the non-profit's website, over 43,000 teachers have undergone Code. org's professional learning program to teach computer science to over one million students. Of these, 2,000 are high school teachers who aim to start a full-year computer science course in schools that have not offered the subject before.
Though the 32 states that currently count computer science classes towards high-school math or science requirements are a big improvement over the 12 states that recognized the subject in 2013, there is still more to be done. But thanks to organizations like Code. org, things can only improve. To see how you and your school can participate in this exciting event,go to hourofcode. com.
