重庆市2017高考英语 阅读理解选编(67)(2017高考训练)阅读理解。Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says.Beehives (蜂窝) either recorded or real may even prevent elephants from damaging farmers crops.In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them.Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops.But before she asked farmers to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder.Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life.Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down.Next, Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.From a distance, Lucy switched on the prerecorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera.Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds.Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees.Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them.When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed.Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times.She hasnt tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers.She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.1.We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of_.A.loud noises B.some cropsC.video cameras D.angry bees2.Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?A.To record the sound of bees.B.To make a video of elephants.C.To see if elephants would run away.D.To find out more about the behavior of bees.3.As mentioned in the passage, Lucy_.A.works by herself in AfricaB.needs to test more elephant groupsC.has stopped elephants eating cropsD.has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Young elephants ignore African honeybees.B.Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.C.Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.D.Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields. 1解析:选D细节理解题。根据第三、四段Lucy所做的实验可知大象可能会被生气的蜜蜂吓跑。2解析:选A细节理解题。根据第三段可知Lucy在一棵树上找到了一个蜂窝,并且安装了一个录音机,她扔石头的目的是想惹蜜蜂生气,然后发出声音,从而录制其声音,第四段开头也提到了她录制好的声音,故选A。3解析:选B推理判断题。根据最后一段可知Lucy现在正在研究是否大象在几次听到生气的蜜蜂发出的声音后还会被继续吓跑,她还没有将这一现象在足够多的大象群体中检验,由此可以推断她还需做足够多的检验。4解析:选C细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知2002年Lucy和她的队员就发现大象会避开住着蜜蜂的树,故C项表述是正确的。阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。(原创)“Did you come alone or with your parents? ”When Tsinghua Universitys new 2013 freshmen arrived on campus late last month, the first question they were faced with at the registration desk was the above. According to statistics, we know that more than half of the 539 students came alone. Chen Jining, president of Tsinghua University, encouraged them to“start this new adventure by standing on your own two feet”. To help freshmen grow up, some universities have thought of new methods. At Tsinghua, for example, freshmen need to register and find their dormitory by themselves. The process requires two to three hours, during which volunteers take parents on a tour of the campus. At Zhejiang University, a banner hanging in the information center says“Parents let go please; let us guide your children. ”“Often parents like to do things or make decisions for their children. In their eyes, children never grow up, ”said Lu Guodong, dean(系主任)of undergraduate studies at Zhejiang University. “But at university, growing up is the goal for all students. Growing up is the biggest success. In China, students grow up too slowly as parents are always in charge. Students never think about what path they should take and why, ”he said. Zhang Yanxue, a senior student studying Chinese language and literature at the Communication University of China, is president of the Self-improvement Society. Although most students can finish the registration process by themselves, their parents usually prefer accompanying them to the university. “This is the third time Ive welcomed freshmen and I didnt see much change in that regard, ”Zhang said. “The number of students who came alone is the same as in previous years. ”Sometimes, however, the distance between university and home is so great that many parents are too worried to let their children travel alone. To reassure parents, Renmin University of China introduced a new method. It asks senior students to return to their hometown and accompany freshmen back to the campus. This helps freshmen get used to living independently. “Students should have an independent character and a dream. Learning how to use that independent character to achieve their dreams and finish tasks assigned by the country is very important, ”said Tsinghua University President Chen. 【文章大意】9月第一周, 各大高校已陆续进入开学季。近日, 一些提倡新生独立报到的举措引发公众热议。有人认为这是新生学习独立的第一步, 很有教育意义。1.
