12、nst the Florida law. Bears are opportunistic feeders and will remember where to; find easy food and return to the location. If they continue to gain access to human provided foods, they can become food conditioned and habituated. Bears that begin to exhibit those behaviors can become a public safety
13、 risk and possibly be killed by wildlife officials. Remember “A fed bear is a dead bear.” If a bear is seen in your yard, increase their natural fear of humans by making loud noises from a secure location.Myth #2: Black bears are strict carnivores (食肉动物)。While the bear family is part of the Order (目
14、) Carnivora, the Florida black bear is described as an omnivore (杂食动物 ), eating a diet made up of 80% vegetation, 16% insects, and 4% meat. Bears will rarely try to chase down a large animal, such as an adult deer, for a meal, because it will result in a loss of energy a lot of energy used trying to
15、 catch the animal with very little chance of a successful catch, thus no energy gained.Myth #3: Its best to run away or climb a tree to escape a black bear.Black bears have curved toe nails, naturally making them great climbers. They will commonly climb trees or send their babies up a tree to escape
16、 an obvious danger. Nut bearing trees, like oaks, are common places to find black bears feeding in the fall. Black bears can run up to 30 mph. Running from any wild animal can also cause a chase instinct, so it is best to back away slowly and find a secure location, like a vehicle or building.21. Ho

20、ged with selling national treasures to the enemy. To avoid the punishment for this serious crime, he admitted that the paintings forgeries,(伪造品 ), or fakes - he had painted them himself and fooled the art world and the Nazis. Today, experts agree that the forgeries do not look like Vermeers Other wo
21、rks. Why, then, did the art world accept the fakes as real?One reason why they were accepted was that the forgeries actually looked different than Vermeers other works. The dealer had claimed that the forgeries were from an unknown period early in Vermeers art career. Because painters styles often c
22、hange, throughout their careers, art historians at the time did not expect the “new discoveries” to look exactly like the known works of Vermeer. In fact, because they did not look similar to the known works, experts did not bother to look at them carefully. This is because experts expect a forger t
23、o copy famous paintings as closely as possible. Once the art dealers first forgeries were expected as real, he was free to make more. The others closely matched the first paintings in style, so they were also expected as real Vermeer paintings from the same early period.Another reason experts were f
24、ooled is what some historians call The Emperors New Clothes effect. In Hans Christian Andersens story, The Emperors New Clothes, two criminals convince an emperor that he is wearing beautiful clothes, when he is actually naked. No one in the empire wants to admit that they cannot see the clothes bec
25、ause they believe the clothes are magic an4 that only good people can see them. Similarly, the art world was influenced by a famous art historian, Wilhelm von Bode, who said the forgeries were some of Vermeers best works. Because von Bode was highly respected, other experts began praising the “new d
26、iscoveries.” At the time, this made it difficult to criticize the paintings or suggest that they were fakes.24. Why did the art dealer admit that he had forged paintings?A. He wanted to anger the Nazis.B. He felt bad about what he had done.C. He wanted to escape heavy punishment.D. He wanted to prov

28、works.26. Why does the author mention the story The Emperors New Clothes?A. To give an example of a forgery in the literary world.B. To explain how experts were fooled by the forgeries.C. To suggest that Vermeer was the emperor of the art world.D. To compare the works of Vermeer with those of Anders

30、 about how to cut down our stress levels. Everyone agrees that long-term stress, for example having to look after someone who has a chronic illness, or stressful situations where there is nothing we can do, for example being stuck in a traffic jam, should be avoided whenever possible. However, some
31、medical experts now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us.Dr Marios Kyriazis, an anti-ageing expert, points out that what he. calls “good stress” is beneficial to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and even live longer, Dr Kyriazis says that “go
32、od stress” can strengthen our natural defences which protect us from illnesses common among older people, such as Alzheimers and heart problems.According to Dr Kyriazis, running for a bus or having to work to meet a deadline are examples of “good stress”, which are situations with short-term or low
33、stress. The stress usually makes us react quickly, and gives us a sense of achievement - we did it! However, in both situations, the stress damages the cells in our body or brain and they start to break down. But then the cells own repair mechanism “switches on” and it produces proteins which repair
34、 the damaged cells and remove harmful chemicals that can gradually cause disease. In fact, the bodys response is greater than is needed to repair the damage; so it actually makes the cells Stronger than they were before.“As the body gets older, this self-repair mechanism of the cells starts to slow
35、down,” says Dr Kyriazis. “The best way to keep the process working efficiently is to exercise it, in the same way you would exercise your muscles to keep them strong. This means having a certain amount of stress in our lives.” Other stressful activities that Kyriazis suggests as feeing good stress i
36、nclude redecorating a room in your house over the weekend, packing your suitcase in a hurry to reach the airport on time, or shopping for a dinner party during your lunch break.So next time your boss tells you that she wants to see die report finished and on her desk in 45 minutes, dont worry; just
37、think of it as “good stress” which will benefit your long-term health!28. What is Dr Kyriazis opinion probably based on?A. The benefits of doing physical exercise.B.

40、 problems, including the relief of pain, anxiety or stress. But what if they want to travel with it?Secure airport areas beyond the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints are under federal control and the federal government classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 (most harmful) substa
41、nce, even in states where it is legal for adults to consume it.The laws conflict, but federal law trumps state law, making it illegal to fly with marijuana in carry-on or checked luggage. It is also illegal to transport marijuana across state lines, even if both states have legalized it.Still, some
42、passengers, especially, on domestic flights, take the risk, because searching for marijuana is not on the TSAs to-do list. “The agency focuses on terrorism and security threats to the aircraft and its passengers,” a spokesman, Brace Anderson, said. “Airport screeners are looking for things that can
43、take down an airplane, like guns or explosive, not marijuana,” he said. “But if screeners do notice marijuana in someones carry-on or checked luggage,” Mr. Anderson said, “they will call in local airport law enforcement officials to deal with it.“Of the 54 million passengers who went through Denver
44、International Airport in 2015, the TSA stopped just 29 for possession of marijuana,” an airport spokesman, Heath Montgomery, said. In those cases, .as long as the amount was legal for personal possession in Colorado - one ounce of dried flower, for example - the local police simply asked the flier t
45、o dispose of it, either by throwing it in the trash or taking it home. All 29 obeyed, and no tickets were issued.Local airport authorities handle the situation differently in different states. In Florida where medical marijuana is legal but recreational use is not, few are stopped for possession in
46、the airport, but, they do face penalties. “Eleven of the approximately 2.8 million passengers who were screened by the TSA at Jacksonville International Airport in 2016 were detained for possession of marijuana,” said Michael D. Stewart, the airports director of external affairs. “All were arrested
47、or given a notice to appear in court,” he said.32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “tramps” in paragraph 3?A. Beats. B. Respects. C. Observers. D. Explains.33.

49、passengers were punished for possession of marijuana.35. What do we know about the law in Florida?A. It is the same as the law in Colorado.B. Patients wont be screened by the TSA.C. Marijuana cant be used for entertainment.D. Doctors giving patients marijuana face penalties.第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能瑱入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Time is on your sideHow frequently do you say “I dont have time”? Quite often, I guess.
