26、 If you read the news about honeybee survival, it’s all very confusing. The Hoover Institution’s Dr. Henry Miller notes “The reality is that honeybee populations are not declining. According to U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) statistics, the world’s honeybee population rose to 80 million colonies (群落) in 2011 from 50 million in1960.” Meanwhile Jennifer Sass of the Natural Resources Defense Council points out “The number of managed honeybee colonies in the U. S. has dropped from four million hives (蜂群) in 1970 to 2.5 million today.”
Surprisingly, both of these claims are correct. Miller points to the “global” commercial honeybee-hive count, which has grown considerably. Sass points to domestic colony numbers only, which have in fact declined.
Far more bees are farmed for making honey than for pollination (传粉) services. Since more honey is now made overseas than it was in the past, more hives are kept overseas, and fewer in the United States and Europe. And the global number of commercial hives and honey they produce has grown to meet the demands of an expanding world population. Such shifts offer no evidence of a honeybee hive crisis. They simply represent the market forces of supply and demand.
The FAO data also clarify that national or even regional declines in the size of the managed honeybee population cannot prove claims of a global pollinator decline or a pollination crisis. However, it emphasizes that solutions to those problems must be motivated locally, rather than globally.
Solutions will follow only if we take a non-subjective look at the issues, so we can address them appropriately rather than have a crisis mentality. As I highlight in a recent post for The Hill,a big part of the solution lies at the very local level: with the beekeepers, farmers, and communities that surround them.
【1】What contributes to the growth of commercial hives?
A.The claims of the FAO.
B.The shift of honey export.
C.The increasing demands of honey.
D.The more services of pollination.
【2】What’s the author’s attitude to the honeybee population issue?
A.Supportive.
B.Objective.
C.Confused.
D.Doubtful.
【3】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Honeybee Crisis Solved or Not?
B.Honeybee Population Declining or Not?
C.Honeybee Market Global or Local?
D.Honeybee Research Global or Local?
27、 At the end of August this year I moved from London,UK,to a small town in Quebec, Canada,called Matane to work as an English language assistant.Patience is a word that has appeared in many forms over the past two months.
I don't see myself as being the most patient person in the world but there was something that struck me on my first week of work.I had just finished a session with two students and just as they were leaving the classroom,one of the students turned back and said,"Thank you for your patience." That was an early reminder of the importance of being patient as a teacher. It also made me reflect on the language teachers that I have had over the years, ones that demonstrated a high level of patience and understanding that has shaped my language learning path. Moreover, it helped me to realize the importance of demonstrating patience in the classroom as it can be the difference between building someone's confidence in a language or breaking down their confidence entirely.
Living my life constantly in French is not easy but the people of Quebec are very patient.They repeat things several times and they are more than happy to wait while I find the correct words to express myself and find the correct word order.It's a learning process but with the patience of others, the process is slightly less nervous.At the end of the day, making mistakes shows you are trying and I think that is greatly appreciated by Quebecers.
When I first arrived in Matane I kept getting headaches from having to concentrate all the time due to the language and even overhearing other people's conversations was hard work! I had to keep reminding myself that it would take time, and two months later the headaches are a distant memory and my ears have become more tuned to their accent.The key is to be patient with yourself.
【1】According to Paragraph 2, what does the writer think is important as a teacher? ______
A. Understanding. B. Patience. C. Confidence. D. Help.
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? ______
A. The writer went to Matane to learn the importance of patience.
B. Doctors in Quebec are good at treating headaches.
C. Practice makes perfect for learning a foreign language.
D. The writer first noticed the importance of patience on hearing a student's appreciation.
【3】In the small town called Matane,which language do the local people speak? ______
A. English. B. Spanish. C. French. D. Italian.
【4】What is the best title for the passage? ______
A. Patience Brings a Surprise
B. Attractions of Quebec
C. My Work Experience in Quebec
D. Learn a Foreign Language with Patience
28、 Scientists have found evidence of a link between social and economic status and childhood attention deficit disorder(ADHD)(注意力缺陷多动障碍)in the UK. A team led by the University of Exeter Medical School analysed data from the Millennium Cohort Study, a database of more than 19, 500 UK children born between 2000 and 2002 .The study was published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry.
Findings showed that more children with ADHD came from families below the poverty line than the UK population as a whole, with average family incomes for households whose study child was affected by ADHD at £324 per week, compared to £391 for those whose child was not. The study found the odds (机会)of parents in social housing having a child with ADHD was roughly three times greater than for those who owned their own homes.
The team also found that the odds of younger mothers having a child with ADHD were significantly higher than for other mothers. Mothers with no qualifications were more than twice as likely to have a child with ADHD than those with degrees, and lone (孤独的)parents were more likely to have a child with ADHD diagnosis than households with two live-in parents.
Information was gathered from surveys when the cohort children were nine months old, and at the ages of three, five, seven and eleven.
Dr Ginny, of the University of Exeter Medical School,who led the study, said, "There is a genetic element to ADHD,but this study provides strong evidence that ADHD is also associated with a disadvantaged social and economic background. Some people believe that ADHD in children causes disadvantage to the economic situation of their family, but we found no evidence to support that theory. It's important to discover more about the causes of this disorder so that we can look towards prevention, and so that we can target treatment and support effectively. "
【1】We can infer from Paragraph 2 that _______.
A. family incomes of £391 per week are below the poverty line in the UK
B. children affected by ADHD consume family incomes of £324 per week
C. parents who rent houses are likely to have a child with ADHD
D. families who own their own houses are above the poverty line
【2】Which of the following families are most likely to have a child with ADHD?
A. The households with two live-in parents.
B. Middle-aged mothers having no diploma.
C. Single younger mothers with no diploma.
D. Younger mothers living with their husbands.
【3】What is Dr Ginny's attitude to the belief that ADHD in children causes disadvantage to the economic situation of their family?
A. He agrees with it.
B. He ignores it.
C. He hesitates to accept it.
D. He argues against it.
【4】What message does the author most want to give us?
A. ADHD linked to social and economic disadvantage.
B. The cure of ADHD has been found by the UK's scientists.
C. New methods have been used to treat ADHD patients.
D. Causes and effects of ADHD have been found out completely.
29、Whale Camp at Marine Science Institute
Camp Type: Overnight, Family, International
Age of Campers: 10-18
Year Established: 1984
No other marine (海洋的) science program enables you to closely observe and study whales, dolphins, and seals in their own natural habitat. Board our 60-foot sailboat for unmatched observations of marine life. Help collect data to document whales’ distribution patterns and behaviors. Gain hands-on experience using our marine science equipment. Explore the powerful and endangered processes of life in the sea.
Some summer programs teach you about marine science and oceanography (海洋学) with lots of time in a classroom, lab or museum. We take you directly to the source for the best observation and experience. This is why the Whale Camp is the place where inspiration, exploration and discovery abound (很多). This is why there’s only one Whale Camp.
We are located on beautiful Grand Manan Island which was recently named the third best small island in the world to visit by the travel experts. The location is ideally situated in the Bay of Fundy where the highest tides in the world create one of the world’s richest and most diverse marine ecosystems.
In our years of experience, we’ve observed numerous whales on over 98% of our research trips. Whale Camp offers more research trips per session than any other summer camp program. The diversity of bird life at sea and on land is extraordinary. Only the Whale Camp takes you to the highly restricted Machias Seal Island to be surrounded by many rare creatures. Each day at Whale Camp is a life-changing experience. With our seas and planet in danger, we believe it’s more important than ever for us to learn how to protect the systems of life that sustain (维持) us.
【1】According to the passage, the program _______.
A.is part of the in-class education B.is about great scientific researches

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
In Congress, July 4, 1776
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.
We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
35、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.
The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression, which can be 【1】 back to 500 years ago. The expression is used to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.
Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in “hot water”. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult 【2】. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem is too deep. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks in complete 【3】 of the stock market.
"Water over the dam" is another expression about a past event. It is something that cannot be 【4】. The expression comes from the idea that water that has 【5】 a dam cannot be brought back again. When a friend is 【6】 by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.
Another common expression, "to hold water," is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from the way of testing the 【7】 of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your 【8】 can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and can not be 【9】.
"Throwing cold water" also is an expression that deals with an idea or 【10】. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But you wife "throws cold water" on the idea, because she says a new car costs too much

My daughter
(A story told by a father, a famous actor)
My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.
I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.
We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.
I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband.
