17、quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”， often used in a situationa quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Lets hear wh

18、at scientists have to say.A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storma singlecell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main updraft, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as

19、 fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directionseven from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a lowpressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The

20、rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapour(水蒸汽) in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust, until they grow l

21、arge enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air gets spit out(被擠出) at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down.

22、Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderstorms, though, dont start with calm. Thats because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. Theres so much air moving up and down storm groups that

23、 the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm, it might be really windy!1、Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?AA storm with air drawn from every direction.BA thunderstorm without strong winds.CA thunderstorm with a single shape.DA storm fueled by movin

24、g air from the ground.2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?ACold and dry air.BWarm and damp air.CCold and damp air.DWarm and dry air.3、Which does the writer most likely agree to?APresence of the calm relies on stable air.BStorm happens without air moving up and down.CThe drie

25、r the air is, the bigger the storm will be.DNot all thunderstorms start with the calm.4、What is the passage mainly about?ACauses and effects of a heavy storm.BAn explanation of the calm before a storm.CA personal experience of a heavy storm.DA brief description of a peaceful storm.23（8分）Ferry Servic

32、50.D22.70.24（8分）Australian magpies can understand what other birds are saying to each other, a new study has found.The research, published in the journal Animal Behavior, says the magpie has learned the meanings of different noisy miner calls and essentially eavesdrops(偷聽) to find out which predator

33、s(食肉動物) are near.Noisy miners-a small, native honeyeater-have different warning calls for ground-based and aerial(飛行的)predators. By playing both kinds of recording to a series of wild magpies, researchers observed the magpies raising their beaks(喙) to the sky, or dropping their heads to the ground.R

34、esearchers attracted the magpies with cheese, then played the noisy miner calls, videotaping the results.As a control, they also rolled a large orange ball towards the magpies to see how they ordinarily tilted(傾斜) their beaks to ground threats, and threw the ball to see how they reacted to aerial th

35、reats.The researchers recorded an average maximum beak angle of 29 degrees for the thrown ball, and an average maximum of nine degrees when it was rolled.The miners aerial warning caused an average maximum beak angle of 31 degrees, and the ground warning caused an average maximum of 24.One of the st

36、udys authors, Dominique Potvin, said the magpies showed an astonishing level of insight.Magpies and miners broadly face the same types of predators and the two frequently live in the same ecosystem.Potvin said this had encouraged the magpies learned behavior.“Magpies are generally found on the groun

37、d and noisy miners are generally found up in trees. It pays for the magpie to pay attention to somebody who has a better view of predators than they do.”She said it was unclear whether other birds could do the same, but it was highly likely other magpies around Australia already did.“Magpies are a p

38、retty smart group. Were not sure if theyre learning this from other magpies or if theyre figuring it out on their own, but the ability is there.As part of the experiment, researchers also played a third call: a common, non-warning call from a crimson rosella. They found the magpies did not respond.P

39、otvin said that we had been actively exploring animal cognition(認知) research. “Its a good piece of the puzzle,” Potvin said. “Looking at the social relationships between species that live in communities.”1、What have the researchers found about Australian magpies?AThey can understand other bird calls

40、.BThey can communicate with noisy miners.CThey have a special preference for cheeses.DThey have the ability to warn the predators.2、How did the researchers get their findings?ABy calculating the beak angles of aerial and ground predators.BBy comparing the magpie and the miner responses to threats.CB

41、y monitoring the magpie responses to the miner warning calls.DBy recording the magpie louder scream for other birds attention.3、The magpies cognition can help them _.Ahave a better view of the predators than the minersBbetter protect themselves from the potential threatsCcooperate with other birds t

42、o drive away the predatorsDlive in harmony with other birds in the same ecosystem4、We can learn from the passage that _.Athe magpies are smart learners of other birds behaviourBits likely that other birds have developed the same abilityCthe findings have clarified the relationships between speciesDa

43、 lot more remains to be explored about animal cognition25（10分） It is commonly believed that in medieval France, New Year was celebrated on 1 April. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, changing New Year to 1 January. With no modern communications, news travel

44、led slowly and new ideas were often questioned. Many people did not hear of the change, some merely forgot, and others chose to ignore it. These people were called fools. Invitations to non-existent “New Year” parties were sent and other practical jokes were played. Over time playing tricks on 1 Apr

45、il became a tradition. The custom eventually spread to England and Scotland, and it was later transported across the Atlantic to the American colonies (殖民地) of the English and the French. April Fools Day has now developed into an international festival of fun, with different nationalities celebratin

46、g the day in special ways.France and ItalyIn France and Italy, if someone plays a trick on you, you are the “fish of April”. By the month of April fish have only just hatched and are therefore easy to catch. Children stick paper fish to their Friends backs and chocolate fish are found in the shops.A

47、merica and BritainToday, Americans and the British play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on 1 April. A common trick is to point to a friends shoe and say “Your shoelace (鞋帶) is untied.” When they look down, they are laughed at. Schoolchildren might tell a friend that school has been cance

48、lled. Sometimes the media get involved. Once, a British short film was shown on April Fools Day about spaghetti farmers and how they harvest their crop from spaghetti trees!ScotlandIn Scotland, April Fools Day lasts for two days! The second day is called “Taily Day” and tricks on this day involve th
