• 2．Valerie Bolduc is exploring a path under a four-lane highway to fit wildlife cameras，when she gets stuck in the mud. "I am really stuck，" says the road ecology student，trying to pull her feet out of a streambed that travels through the concrete culvert（涵洞）of Quebec Route 117. "I do not want to be a deer going through that."
     Bolduc's dilemma makes evident the risks for wild animals using the same path.
     A warming climate is pushing many animals to migrate toward higher latitudes（緯度）to remain within their desirable environments，but that comes with risks as they cross dangerous areas，such as highways.In eastern Canada，Bolduc and other researchers and conservationists are trying to preserve safe corridors（走廊）for wildlife.
     The motion-activated cameras they have brought will record which species are using the tunnels.An outward-facing camera will identify what animals approach but do not enter，perhaps prevented by traffic noise，the tunnel's size or other factors.
     Bolduc explains that this highway running through southern Quebec separates a series of Canadian national and regional parks on either side，along with their animal populations. "It's super important，" she notes， "because the animals want to move north and they encounter these and then can they move through？Will they get hit by a car？We'll need to figure that out.And we need to help them，at least I want to help them."
     After finishing fitting their cameras on the northbound side of the highway，Bolduc and her team decide they need an alternate path to the other side to avoid another misfortune in the mud. "We're generally trying to be safe，" Bolduc says， "but for the animals，this is their life!"
  
  （1）What can we learn from Bolduc's experience of being trapped？

  
  A．It is difficult to fit wildlife cameras.
  B．She is out of luck during the exploration.
  C．Road conditions of the highway are unexpected.
  D．It is dangerous for wild animals to cross this area.
  （2）What do these animals move to higher latitudes for？

  
  A．Less traffic noise.
  B．Warmer climate.
  C．Safe corridors.
  D．Favorable environments.
  （3）What function is expected of the wildlife cameras？

  
  A．To record the changes in traffic flow.
  B．To figure out difficulties wild animals face.
  C．To track animals in and around the tunnels.
  D．To photograph the living environment of wild animals.
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．High Tech Protects Wildlife
  B．Animal Migration Is under Threat
  C．Ecologists Fear the Future of Wildlife
  D．Researchers Seek Paths for Animals to Migrate

• 3．Nowadays' countries are eager to get more electric cars on the road because moving away from gas-powered vehicles is vital to fighting climate change.China says that most new vehicles sold by 2035 will be electric.The United Kingdom will ban new gas-powered cars in30.One of the world's major automakers，General Motors （GM），announced that it would stop selling gas-powered cars by 2035.
     The key to an electric future is batteries.Automakers are racing to pack the most energy into the smallest one.The lithium-ion battery is what powers our mobile devices，which can be recharged again and again.Making these batteries has an environmental cost.Lithium is taken from the earth，like the oil used to make gasoline.But the long-term cost is much smaller. "Once you burn gasoline，you can't recycle it，" says Jessika Trancik，a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "But when you use up a battery，you can still recycle the material."
     It's up to governments to make electric cars accessible to everyone.National policies can help.In the United States，an electric Chevy Volt costs about ＄35，000.Trancik says charging stations must also be made widely available.As part of an effort to fight climate change，America plans to build half a million of them in the US by 2030.She hopes enough charging stations will be built soon. "It's important to put chargers where many different people can have access to them，" she says. "Not just wealthier people."
     Last year，almost 5% of approximately 67 million new cars sold worldwide were electric.
     For Venkat Viswanathan，a professor of mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University，green electricity is part of the solution to climate change，and electric cars are just the beginning.He sees a future of solar-powered homes and electric flying cars. "Soon，a plug-in vehicle might be as cheap as a gas-powered car.It is now abundantly clear that electric is the future，" he says. "It will be a totally new world."
  
  （1）Which word best describes Trancik's attitude to the lithium-ion battery？

  
  A．Conservative.
  B．Skeptical.
  C．Positive.
  D．Disapproving.
  （2）What does Trancik indicate about charging stations in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．They should come down in price.
  B．They may be unfairly laid out.
  C．Enough of them have been built.
  D．They favor more ordinary people.
  （3）What can be inferred from Viswanathan？

  
  A．Gas-powered cars will be cheaper.
  B．Green electricity will be widely used.
  C．The price of batteries will drop sharply.
  D．Electric vehicles will beat climate change.
  （4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Charging Stations Are Needed.
  B．Vehicles Have Clean Options.
  C．Climate Change Fuels Electricity.
  D．Our Cars Are Going Electric.

• 4．Jason，a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania，uses the term "pseudo-working" to describe how many of us study.The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard —he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night-—but，because of a lack of focus and concentration，he or she doesn't actually accomplish much.
     This phenomenon can be seen on most college campuses.For example，Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day，and the students I used to see there late at night crowded in groups，drinking coffee，were definitely pseudo-working.The roommate who flips through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.
     By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours，these students are damaging their brain's ability to think clearly and efficiently accomplish the task at hand.In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.
     The bigger problem here is that most students don't even realize that they're pseudo-working.To them pseudo-working is work--it's how they've always done it，and it's how all of their friends do it.It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way.Straight-A students，on the other hand，know all about pseudo-working.They fear it.It not only wastes time，but it's also mentally tiring.
     In fact，the most important skill in becoming a straight-A student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort.Some cognitive science research concludes that about fifty minutes is the optimal learning period to maximize the material integrated per time unit.So how do these students achieve this goal？To understand their secret to success，consider the following simple formula（公式）：
  work accomplished=time spent ×intensity of focus
     Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus.Therefore，to accomplish something by pseudo-working，you need to spend a lot of time.The straight-A approach on the other hand，increases intensity in order to use less time.
  
  （1）Which of the following phenomenon is pseudo-working？

  
  A．Tom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture.
  B．Mike is sitting at a study lounge in preparation for a final exam quietly.
  C．Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music.
  D．Alice and Sara are sitting on the couch reading their favorite books.
  （2）Compared with straight-A students，the major problem of most students is that they

  .
  A．want to spend more time on study
  B．a(chǎn)re eager to follow their friends' way
  C．have got used to their study approach
  D．a(chǎn)re unaware of their pseduo-working
  （3）What does the underlined word "optimal" mean in paragraph 5？

  
  A．Possible.
  B．Best.
  C．Least.
  D．Accurate.
  （4）What does the author want to stress by mentioning the formula？

  
  A．The length of time on study counts.
  B．Concentration plays a key role in study.
  C．Getting work done quickly means everything.
  D．Effective study approach is very important.

• 5．How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself？Things may not always go as planned，but being resourceful can help you stay calm and work your way out of tricky situations.
     Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem，using whatever resources you have at the time.（1）

  They can also be anything else that's useful，such as information，advice or your own experience.It also means trusting your instincts，the ability you're born with，rather than through training and being confident about your ability to face challenges.A resourceful person is not the one getting Cross or panicking when something goes wrong.They re thinking about how to solve the problem.
     （2）

  When we learn to problem solve for ourselves rather than immediately going to others for help，it can help to build our confidence，help us feel more independent，and feel better about making decisions.Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems，but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.
     （3）

  This can improve self-esteem，that is，how you feel about yourself.
     When you're facing a challenge，try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it.Think about where and when it happened and what the causes are.Next，think up as many solutions to the problem as you can.（4）

  Finally，review what has and hasn't worked，so you're equipped to deal with a situation next time.
     And remember，if you have a tricky problem that you re unable to solve，then ask a trusted adult for help.（5）

  
  
  A.You also learn what you' re good at.
  B.Here is how you can be more resourceful.
  C.These may be practical things like pens and paper.
  D.No one is expected to solve all problems by themselves.
  E.Resourcefulness is a skill that's good for you in lots of ways.
  F.They can be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.
  G.Weigh up what's good and bad about each one and choose the best.
