24、 turned the forest into a tinderbox.“Lets go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!” Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a - 6 -sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track. They would never make it thro
25、ugh that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.Suddenly, Zach cried. “Zach!” Steve shouted. “Are you OK? Where are you?” Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope(坡). At its base
26、, Zach was rubbing his ankle. As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didnt come back. Steve couldnt blame Brady for panicking. He himself wanted to run even
27、 though he didnt have a clue which way.Steve and Zach hadnt gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope theyd just climbed. But Steve didnt get it. Then Brady grabbed the boys jeans
28、and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncles life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this?Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urgently. “OK, big guy,” Steve grit
29、ted(咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldnt have it. The dog bullied both boys to go on. How long th
30、eyd walked Steve had no idea. He was almost numb when he heard itthe wonderful sound of rushing water! 34. What happened to Steve and Zach at first? A. They got injured. B. They lost their dog. C. They were trapped. D. They became separated. 35. Brady ran away to _. A. seek help B. find a way out- 7

The passage basically describes _.A. an adventure B. an explorationC. an escape game D. a training programC Most groups of plants and animals are richer in speci
32、es and more plentiful near the equator. In the ocean, that holds true for cold-blooded predators(掠食者). But warm-blooded predators are more diverse toward the poles and noticeably missing from several warm hot spots. Why? John Grady, an ecologist, and his team considered the possibilitywarm-blooded a
33、nimals need a lot to fuel their metabolism(新陈代谢). Perhaps colder waters are just richer in small fish? But they found that at higher, colder places, there isnt actually much more food around. Its more that warm-blooded animals are eating a much bigger share of it than their cold-blooded competitors.
34、 The real explanation is simple. An animals speed, swiftness, and intelligence depend on its metabolism, which in turn depends on its temperature. Since birds and mammals can keep heating their bodies in icy conditions, they remain fast and attentive. By contrast, the fish they hunt become slower an
35、d duller. At some tipping point of temperature, seals, dolphins, and penguins start outswimming their prey(猎物). They become more likely to come upon targets and outpace the cold-blooded predators of their own.In Gradys words, “Warm-bodied predators are favoured where preys are slow, stupid and cold.
36、” Thats why sharks and other predatory fish dominate near the equator, but colder waters are the kingdom of whales and seals. By keeping food to themselves in the poles, these creatures can then specialize on specific types of prey, which makes them more likely to split into separate species. The -
37、8 -killer whales of the North Pacific, for example, include mammal-eating transients and fish-eating, year-round residents.But the world is changing. Its likely that the surface of the oceans will warm by 2 to 3 within this century. Gradys team estimates that every time the oceans surface warms by 1
38、, populations of sea mammals will fall by 12%, and populations of seals and sea lions will fall by 24%. But “predictions are hard,” Donna Hauser from the University of Alaska Fairbanks notes. “Polar bears are losers of a warming world, but some populations are still doing well. Some groups of whales
39、 have changed the timing of their migrations; others are hunting in deeper, colder waters. These changes might make sea mammals more adaptable to changing climates. Maybe they just need to find the places where fish remain slow, stupid and cold.”38. Why are there more types of warm-blooded predators
40、 near the poles? A. Because there is more food.B. Because there are fewer enemies.C. Because they are faster and wiser.D. Because they consume less energy.39. The author mentions the killer whales to show _. A. the benefit of biological evolutionB. food preference of different sea mammalsC. the dist
41、inction of specific types of predatorsD. the advantage of constant body temperature40. What is Donna Hausers attitude towards the future of the sea mammals? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Sceptical.41. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Are the Poles Heaven for Sea Predators?B. Ho
42、w Do Sea Mammals Track Their Prey?C. Why Do the Warm-Blooded Like Food Cold?D. Is the World Too Hot for the Warm-Blooded? - 9 -D Last fall, I happened to overhear a student telling the others he had decided not to sign up for an introductory philosophy course. The demands of his major, he said serio
43、usly, meant he needed to take “practical” courses, and “enlightenment” would simply have to wait. For now, employability was the most important. The students conversation fits into a larger alarming narrative about the role of the humanities in higher education. In a time of dizzying technological a
44、chievement and of rapid scientific innovation, sceptics of the humanities may question the usefulness of studying Aristotle, the Italian Renaissance or Chinese fiction. Actually, I regret not interrupting that student to argue for taking that introductory philosophy course. I would have started by r
45、eminding him that, for much of Americas history, college graduates were not considered truly educated unless they had mastered philosophy, literature, political theory and history. The key role of higher education was to invite students into the conversations about matters like what it means to be a
46、live and the definition of justice. Fostering engagement with these subjects is still an essential part of the universitys function in society.I would have also mentioned to the student that he was misinformed about the job market. It is true that many employers are looking for graduates with specia
47、lized technical skills, but they also look for other capabilities. As the world is transformed by artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation, the unique human qualities of creativity, imagination and moral reasoning will be the ultimate coin of the realm. All these skills are developed
48、 in humanities courses.Further, I would have argued that while a degree anchored in the sciences is an important precondition for many jobs, it is not the only route. Look no further than the founders of companies such as LinkedIn, Slack and Flickr, who are among the many tech businesspersons with d
49、egrees in the humanities, and who - 10 -credit that training for their success. Contrary to the widely held belief that humanities majors have a hard time getting jobs, recent studies show that those with humanities degrees are successful in the workplace, experiencing low rates of unemployment and reporting high levels of job satisfaction. The ratio between average median(中位数) incomes for humanities degree holders and those with business, engineering, and health and medi
