When horses raise their noses and open their nostrils(鼻孔) , their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can’t sense. This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows, eating only the tastiest grasses, experts say. ◆Whale says thanks In 2011, a whale expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a fishing net and spent an hour freeing it. Afterward, in an hour-long display of thanks , the whale swam near their boat and leaped into the air about 40 times. ◆Pandas like to be naughty Is there anything more lovely than a baby panda, except maybe a human baby? In fact, baby pandas sometimes behave like human babies. They sleep in the same positions and value their thumbs. Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its face with a paw of ducking its head when confronted by a stranger. ◆A cat honors its owner Paper towels, and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo, a devoted three-year-old gray-and-white cat, has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo’s grave every day since the man died in September 2011. Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old, and the two formed an inseparable bond. After Renzo passed away, Toldo followed the coffin to the cemetery, and now "stands guard" at the grave for hours at a time. 21. What can horses do to pick delicious grasses? A. Feel them. B.

B Edward Latter, five, thought his dog Morse was gone for ever after cruel thieves took him away when the dog escaped from his home. The 10-month-old dog had been missing since December and the broken-hearted boy even wrote a heartbreaking letter to Santa and posted it to Lapland asking for his pal back for Christmas. A ￡10,000 reward was offered by millionaire Simon Cowell after h e read about the horrific theft. Cowell said: “It’s heartbreaking to see a little boy’s Christmas ruined. Dogs are so important to many of us. We just hope it helps lead to the safe return of Morse.” His parents, Amanda Hopkins and Richard Latter, had given up hope of ever seeing their pet again, until they got a call on Friday night. A couple 20 miles away from their home in Marden, Kent, had found a muddy dog walking through their street and thought it could be missing Morse. They brought the Morse in, washed him, and then called Mr Latter who was unsure until he was sent a photo, and then drove the family to the village of Meopham. The theatre carpenter, 40, said: “Amanda and I were still quite sceptical, but Edward saw him and recognised him straight away. He was absolutely over the moon. He said: ‘I can’t believe it, I have my best friend back. It’s too late for Christmas but this is the best present ever.’ We were still unsure if it was him though—as he wasn’t responding to his name or coming to us.” “We spent about an hour and half over there and we still were not sure, so we took him home to get his chip scanned. It was only when we took him to the vets on Saturday morning and got his chip scanned that we found out for sure. We instantly broke down in tears. We were just hugging each other, hugging Edward and hugging the dog.” Added Richard. The family who found missing Morse said they hadn’t yet heard from Simon Cowell about the ￡10,000 reward but were happy to get him home. 24. Why did Edward Latter write to Santa? A. He wanted Santa to punish the cruel thieves. B. H e wished Santa could bring Morse back for Christmas. C. He hoped Santa would reward the person finding his dog. D. He wished he could reunite with his parents for Christmas. 25. What does the underlined phrase “over the moon” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. On the move. B. Outer space. C. In high spirits. D. Beyond description. 26. Why did Richard Latter have the dog’s chip scanned? A. To identify the dog. B. To ensure the dog’s health. C. To remind Edward Latter to hug th e dog. D. To get the reward millionaire Cowell had promised. 27. What can we learn from the text? A. Edward Latter has got his lost Morse back. B. Simon Cowell was accused of breaking his promise. C. Santa brought Morse back for Edward Latter after Christmas. D. The couple has received a reward of ￡10,000 from Mr Latter. C For students, college is a series of disconnected experiences: the classroom, the dorm, the athletic field, and the internship(实习岗位). Yet the employers tell me what gets college students hired is the ability to translate what they learned in one place (the c lassroom, for example) to another that is far different from where they originally learned a concept (a project on an internship). Educators call this “transfer learning”—the ability to summarize key principles and apply them in many different places, which becomes more important as the skills needed to keep up in any job and occupation continue to change in the future. Our ability to drive almost any car on the market without reading its manual(手册) is an example of knowledge transfer. The concept sounds simple enough. But today’s students, faced with the constant pressure to prepare for standardized tests, rarely have the chance to learn through problem-solving or to be involved in projects that improve skills that can be used in various settings. In response to demands from students, parents and employers, colleges and universities are adding hands-on experiences to the undergraduate curriculum. Arizona State University, where I’m a professor of practice, is testing a curriculum across a dozen majors in which students learn nearly half of the subject matter through group projects. Engineering students might build a robot and learn the key principles of mechanics and electronics during the project. The hope is that students will be more involved if theories from the classroom are immediately applied in the outside world instead of years after students graduate. What’s the problem with the hands-on learning experiences being added by colleges to the undergraduate curriculum? They’re often not accompanied by the guidance that students need to help them transfer what they learn. So students become adepts skilled in job interviews at describing what they did during a project, but they have difficulty talking about what they learned and how they can apply that to where they want to work. 28. Why is the ability to drive mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To show that everything is changing. B. To prove that driving ability is important. C. To stress the importance of practical skills. D. To explain the meaning of transfer learning. 29. What prevents students from getting the ability to transfer knowledge? A. Various school projects. B. Too much stress from tests. C. Their lack of theory knowledge. D. Their unwillingness to solve problems. 30. Which may arouse students’ interest in school learning according to the author? A. Seeing what they have learned is applied. B. Teachers changing the way lectures are given. C. Focusing on the key principles of every subject. D. Teachers explaining theories in an interesting way. 31. What does the author think of the hands-on learning experiences in colleges? A. They are effective. B. They are unnecessary.C. They should be improved. D. They cost a lot of time. D Anecdotal evidence has long held that creativity in artists and writers can be associated with living in foreign parts. Rudyard Kipling, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Gauguin, Samuel Beckett and others spent years living abroad. Now a pair of psychologist has proven that there is indeed a link. As they report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, William Maddux of INSEAD, a business school in Fontainebleau, France, and Adam Galinsky, of the Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, presented 155 American business students and 55 foreign ones studying in America with a test used by psychologists as a measure of creativity. Given a candle, some matches and a box of drawing pins, the students were asked to attach the candle to a cardboard wall so that no wax would drip on the floor when the candle was lit. (The solution is to use the box as a candleholder and fix it to the wall with the pin.) They found 60% of the students who were either living abroad or had spent some time doing so, solved the problem, whereas only 42% of those who had not lived abroad did so. A follow-up study with 72 Americans and 36 foreigners explored their creative negotiating skills. Pairs of students were asked to play the role of seller of a petrol station who then needed to get a job and a buyer who would need to hire staff to run the business. The two were likely to reach a deadlock because the buyer had b een told he could not afford what the seller was told was his minimum price. Nevertheless, when both negotiators had lived abroad 70% struck a deal in which the seller was offered a management job at the petrol station in return for a lower asking price. When neither of the negotiators had lived abroad, none was able to reach a deal. Merely travelling abroad, however, was not enough. You do have to live there. Packing your beach towel and suntan lotion will not, by itself make you Hemingway. 32. What is the purpose of mentioning the famous names in the opening paragraph? A. To show the relationship between creativity and living abroad. B. To indicate the link between artistic creation and life experience. C. To emphasize how great these artists are. D. To impress the importance of creativity. 33. What can be inferred from the text? A. William Maddux and Adam Galinsky have carefully designed the test. B. Negotiators who had lived abroad are more flexible in negotiating. C. American business students are less creative than those oversea students. D. One’s creativity is associated with the length one has spent abroad. 34. What does the author mean in the last sentence of paragraph 4? A. There exist sharp differences between travelling and living abroad. B. You shouldn’t lie on the beach when travelling. C. Only real experience of living abroad can help drive creativity. D. Living abroad is more meaningful than just travelling abroad. 35. Where is the text most likely from?[来源:Z.xx.k.Com] A. A diary. B. A magazine. C. A novel. A. guidebook. 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。 If you need to prove who you are in China, you will usually need to use an ID card.
