26、The “butterfly effect” may be real, which is used to describe seemingly insignificant events that can have unplanned consequences. But there might be a more literal “butterfly effect” taking place right before our eyes, scientists suggest.

According to new research, insects actually carry electrical charges which can have enormous effects on the atmosphere, potentially influencing even the weather. The findings were published Monday in the journal Science.

Before you can understand that, you have to understand how electrical charges in the atmosphere work. The Earth’s atmosphere always carries an electrical charge to a lesser or greater degree, which scientists refer to as the Potential Gradient (PG). Scientists concluded that atmospheric electricity is primarily driven by natural weather events like thunderstorms and shower clouds, though factors like human pollution also affect it. Researchers, therefore, want to know how electrical charges impact clouds.

To confirm that honeybees carry electrical charges, researchers placed an electrical field monitor near a swarm of (一群) honeybees near the University of Bristol. They also placed a control monitor in a field where there were no bee swarms. The monitor near the bee swarm picked up an increase in electrical charge whereas the control monitor detected no such effect, confirming their assumption.

Second, the researchers wanted to calculate the insects’ electrical effects on the atmosphere compared to the electrical impacts of natural weather events like clouds and dust storms. They calculated the electrical charge of three different types of insect swarms. Most surprisingly, insects’ electrical charges can have just as significant an impact on atmospheric electricity as natural weather events.

The knowledge that insects impact the atmosphere’s electricity has bigger implications for science. PG affects the “movement of aerosols (气溶胶) in the atmosphere, and leads to charging of droplets in some clouds,” according to Hunting. Insect swarms likely won’t drive weather events like thunderstorms, but they could impact the movement of these atmospheric aerosols.

Further research will dive into this previously unexplored field of scientific research and may go beyond insects, since organisms like birds and microbes also carry electrical charges.

【1】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The background of the research.

B．The publication of journal Science.

C．The work of electrical charges in atmosphere.

D．The electrical effects of insects on atmosphere.

【2】How did researchers conduct the process of experiments?

A．By using statistics.

B．By analyzing causes.

C．By introducing concepts.

D．By making comparisons.

【3】Which has the least electrical effects on the atmosphere’s electricity?

A．Human pollution.

B．Shower clouds.

C．The thunderstorms.

D．The insect swarms.

【4】What can we learn about the research from the passage?

A．Insect swarms are likely to drive thunderstorms.

B．Natural weather events lead to charging of droplets.

C．Both PG and insect swarms affect the movement of atmospheric aerosols.

D．Researchers have made controlled experiment between insects and organisms.

27、How to Listen to a Teen’s Complaints

As your child reaches his teen years, he’s likely experiencing a conflict   (冲突) between his social and family lives. This often causes frequent complaining (抱怨). 【1】 By listening to your teen’s complaints in an active way, you make your relationship better and allow for better joint decision­making.

【2】You can see complaints from your teen as natural and positive, though the actual content of what he says might be negative (负面的). Believe that listening to your teen’s complaints is a chance to know your teen better. By psychologically preparing yourself in this way, the conversation will go forward more easily.

Accept your teen’s feelings. Understand that your teen’s complaining behavior might be wrong but that his feelings are never wrong. Recognize that negative emotions are natural and do not easily fall under the control of teens or even adults. Note that your teen is at least handling his negative emotions in the right way — through words. 【3】

Listen patiently and carefully. 【4】 Listen for the words in his complaints, such as “I am sick of this” or “It’s unfair to me”. This often shows his feelings. Through body language or eye contact, show your teen you are listening to him carefully.

React to your teen’s complaints. 【5】 If you disagree, explain why. Finish the conversation by praising him for coming to you and expressing himself.

A．Do you think your reply is right?

B．Allow your teen to express his dissatisfaction.

C．Prepare yourself to listen to something negative.

D．This is normal but not something parents should ignore.

E．Parents should figure out what causes his complaints.

F．If you agree with his complaints, discuss ways to solve the problem.

G．However, keep in mind that accepting his feelings does not mean you accept his complaints.

28、   There are two species of crocodile in Australia—the saltwater crocodiles and the freshwater ones.

Saltwater crocodiles are among the world's largest crocodiles, with males often reaching five metres. But some can reach six to eight metres. Females grow up to 2.5 metres long.

Saltwater crocodiles live in rivers, and coastal waters in northern Australia and eat a wide variety of prey. The young ones stick to insects, small reptiles and fish. But adults hunt for bigger prey like snakes, monkeys and cattle. And they have been known to attack humans.

Freshwater crocodiles, however, aren't usually dangerous to people. They live in freshwater streams, rivers and large water holes in northern Australia. Freshwater crocodiles aren't as big as saltwater ones either, reaching a length of three metres at most.

Crocodiles first appeared 200 million years ago and lived originally on land. But they soon evolved into aquatic (水生的) animals.

These reptiles are excellent predators (肉食动物) and have few natural enemies. Crocodiles have about 30 or 40 teeth in each jaw. And it is the jaw that gives a unique feature to them.

A crocodile can close its jaws with such force that it can break the bones of some animals. Yet, once the jaws are shut, they're so weak that they can be held together by a person's hand.

To reproduce, crocodiles, like other reptiles, lay eggs. One female can produce between 20 and 90 eggs at a time. Once laid, female crocodiles bury their eggs in sand or mud, where they are left to hatch. Some females stay in the area to protect the nest and look after the young after they hatch, but often other predators eat the eggs.

【1】The largest crocodiles in Australia can reash a length of ________.

A．three metres

B．five metres

C．eight metres

D．ten metres

【2】The following features of saltwater crocodiles and freshwater crocodiles have been mentioned in the passage except ________.

A．their eating habits

B．the law to find a mate

C．the key to their strong power

D．threat against their reproduction

【3】What do saltwater crocodiles and freshwater crocodiles have in common?

A．Theh have the same size.

B．They both live in freshwater streams.

C．They are usually both dangerous to people.

D．They both live in northern Australia.

【4】We can infer from Paragraph 7 that ________.

A．crocodiles close their jaws very quickly

B．crocodiles' jaws are easy to control when they are open

C．crocodiles are not dangerous to people when their jaws are closed

D．crocodiles' jaws are very powerful when closing

【5】What usually happens after crocodile eggs are laid?

A．The eggs will be kept under the ground.

B．The eggs will be hatched by their parents.

C．The male crocodiles will protect the eggs.

D．The female crocodiles will leave the nest.

29、Feeding America: by the Numbers

41.2 million Americans are food insecure, which means they don’t know when or how they’ll get their next meal.

13 million American children face hunger—That’s l in 6 kids. 1.5 million old soldiers receive food stamps (食品救济券).

27% of families with incomes above the poverty level are short of food. 18.7% of Mississippians are short of food (Highest rate of all states). 5. 4 million old people now face food insecurity in America. 8. 7% of Hawaiians are food insecure (Lowest rate of all states).

30、   In the United States, there have been no deaths from commercial airline accidents since 2013. In fact, for decades, there has been a general _________ trend in the number of accidents per departure.

Complex systems are more likely to suffer from failures, but commercial aviation (航空) seems to be a(n) ___________. Since the 1960s, U.S. commercial aviation has become significantly more complex, and yet, flying has become safer. What lies behind this remarkable trend is a handful of smart approaches to_________. Here are two of them.

1. Teach people to speak up—and to listen

A common error during airplane accidents used to be the _________ of first officers to question the captain’s poor decisions. When the captain was flying the airplane, he was hard to challenge, and his mistakes went _________.

All this began to change in the late 1970s with a training program known as Crew Resource Management (CRM). The program revolutionized the _________ not just of the cockpit (机舱) but also of the whole industry. It reframed safety as a _________ issue and put all crew members on more equal footing. It was no longer _________ to question the decisions of a superior; it was required. And CRM taught crew members the language of disagreement.

The lesson isn’t simply that people lower down in the _________ should speak up and higher-ups should listen. What CRM has shown is that people can be taught to speak up and to listen. The ability to express and embrace ____________ isn’t hardwired in our personality or cultural background; it’s a skill we can learn.

2. Learn from small failures and close calls

In 1976, the US Federal Aviation Administration created an industry-wide system to collect safety reports. The Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) collects thousands of reports each month. Beyond receiving immunity (豁免权) for a mistake, it’s a point of ____________ for pilots to submit ASRS reports. They know the reports make air travel safer. The reports are stored in a searchable database that anyone can____________, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) highlights safety trends in its monthly newsletter, Callback.

Here, too, there is a ____________ lesson. Small mistakes and near misses can be a rich source of data about what might ____________ in our system. Mistakes shouldn’t be ____________. By openly sharing stories of failures and near failures, we can treat errors as an opportunity to learn.

31、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

A Brief History of Ice

Ice is a lot more than frozen water. In ancient days, it was nearly worth its weight in gold. Egyptian pharaohs, Roman emperors, and Mideastern kings ordered thick pieces of ice brought from the snow-covered mountain peak to make their drinks 【1】. Floated on ships, ice soon became a quick business -- not only as refreshment but also to cool houses in an old version of air 【2】. The Chinese of 3,000 years ago built special buildings to 【3】 ice. The Persians enjoyed put ice into fruit juices, which was called sharbia. In time, a craze for sharbia 【4】 throughout Europe.

The best was yet to come. In Italy, around 1550, some 【5】 cooks added milk to the recipe（菜谱）. Presto! The 【6】 of ice cream! But, for centuries, it was 【7】 and expensive. In 1809, Dolly Madison, wife of the fourth president of U. S. A., impressed her dinner guests by being the first to 【8】 ice cream at the White House.

Apart from nice desserts, ice was 【9】 business. It could cool fish, meat, fruits, and vegetables sent all over the world. Since then, we needn’t climb up mountains for ice all year round.

A small ice cube has a big history. Imagine yourself a queen or king of Persia when you put an ice into your lemonade. It’ll 【10】 even better.
