Mau Piailug, Ocean Navigator
Mau sailed from Hawaii to Tahiti using traditional methods
In early 1976, a fisherman led an expedition in which he sailed a traditional Polynesian boat across 2,500 miles of ocean from Hawaii to Tahiti. The Polynesian Voyaging Society had organized the expedition. Its purpose was to find out if seafarers（海员）in the distant past could have found their way from one island to the other without navigational instruments, or whether the islands had been populated by accident. At the time, Mau was the only man alive who knew how to navigate just by observing the stars, the wind and the sea.
He had never before sailed to Tahiti, which was a long way to the south. However, he understood how the wind and the sea behave around islands, so he was confident he could find his way. The voyage took him and his crew a month to complete and he did it
His grandfather began the task of teaching him how to navigate when he was still a baby. He showed him pools of water on the beach to teach him how the behaviour of the waves and wind changed in different places. Later, Mau used a circle of stones to memorize the positions of the stars. Each stone was laid out in the sand to represent a star.
The voyage proved that Hawaii’s first inhabitants came in small boats and navigated by reading the sea and the stars. Mau himself became a keen teacher, passing on his traditional secrets to people of other cultures so that his knowledge would not be lost. He explained the position of the stars to his students, but he allowed them to write things down because he knew they would never be able to remember everything as he had done.
16．At the time of his voyage, Mau had unique navigational skills.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
17．Mau was familiar with the sea around Tahiti.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
18．Mau could not afford a compass or charts.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
19．Mau learnt navigation skills from his grandfather.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
20．Mau used stones to memories where the stars were situated in the sky.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
21．The first inhabitants of Hawaii could read and write.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
22．Mau expected his students to remember the positions of the stars immediately.
A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

Traffic Jams — No End in Sight
1 Traffic congestion affects people throughout the world. Traffic jams cause smog in dozens of cities across both the developed and developing world. In the U.S., commuters spend an average of a full work week each year sitting in traffic, according to the Texas Transportation Institute. While alternative ways of getting around are available, most people still choose their cars because they are looking for convenience, comfort and privacy.
2 The most promising technique for reducing city traffic is called congestion pricing, whereby cities charge a toll to enter certain parts of town at certain times of day. In theory, if the toll is high enough, some drivers will cancel their trips or go by bus or train. And in practice it seems to work: Singapore, London and Stockholm have reduced traffic and pollution in city centers thanks to congestion pricing.
3 Another way to reduce rush hour traffic is for employers to implement flexitime, which lets employees travel to and from work at off-peak traffic times to avoid the rush hour. Those who have to travel during busy times can do their part by sharing cars. Employers can also allow more staff to telecommute (work from home) so as to keep more cars off the road altogether.
4 Some urban planners still believe that the best way to ease traffic congestion is to build more roads, especially roads that can take drivers around or over crowded city streets. But such techniques do not really keep cars off the road; they only accommodate more of them.
5 Other, more forward-thinking, planners know that more and more drivers and cars are taking to the roads every day, and they are unwilling to encourage more private automobiles when public transport is so much better both for people and the environment. For this reason, the American government has decided to spend some $7 billion on helping to increase capacity on public transport systems and upgrade them with more efficient technologies. But environmentalists complain that such funding is tiny compared with the $50 billion being spent on roads and bridges.
A．Paying to get in
B．A solution which is no solution
C．Changing work practice
D．Closing city centres to traffic
E．Not doing enough
F．A global problem
23．Paragraph 1 _____

阅读理解
第一篇 On the Trail of the Honey Badgers
On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert, a team of researchers learnt a lot more about honey badgers（獾）. The team employed a local wildlife expert, Kitso Khama, to help them locate and follow the badgers across the desert. Their main aim was to study the badgers’ movements and behaviour as discreetly（谨慎地）as possible, without frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behaviour. They also planned to trap a few and study them close up before releasing them. In view of the animal’s reputation, this was something that even Khama was reluctant to do.
“The problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals, especially when they see something new,” he says. “that, combined with their unpredictable nature, can be a dangerous mixture. If they sense you have food, for example, they won’t be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat. They’re actually quite sociable creatures around humans, but as soon as they feel they might be in danger, they can become extremely vicious（凶恶的）. Fortunately this is rare, but it does happen.”
The research confirmed many things that were already known. As expected, honey badgers ate any creatures they could catch and kill. Even poisonous snakes, feared and avoided by most other animals, were not safe from them. The researchers were surprised, however, by the animal’s fondness for local melons, probably because of their high water content. Previously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey（猎物）. The team also learnt that, contrary to previous research findings, the badgers occasionally formed loose family groups. They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research, including the fat that female badgers never socialized with each other.
Following some of the male badgers was a challenge, since they can cover large distances in a short space of time. Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers. Although they seem happy to share these territories with other males, there are occasional fights over an important food source, and male badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as they are towards other species.
As the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people, it gave the team the chance to get up close to them without being the subject of the animal’s curiosity — or their sudden aggression. The badgers’ eating patterns, which had been disrupted, returned to normal. It also allowed the team to observe more closely some of the other creatures that form working associations with the honey badger, as these seem to adopt the badgers’ relaxed attitude when near humans.
31．Why did the wildlife experts visit the Kalahari Desert?
A．To find where honey badgers live.
B．To observe how honey badgers behave.
C．To catch some honey badgers for food.
D．To find out why honey badgers have a bad reputation.
32．What does Kitso Khama say about honey badgers?
A．They show interest in things they are not familiar with.
B．They are always looking for food.
C．They do not enjoy human company.
D．It is common for them to attack people.
33．What did the team find out about honey badgers?
A．There were some creatures they did not eat.
B．They were afraid of poisonous creatures.
C．They may get some of the water they needed from fruit.
D．Female badgers did not mix with male badgers.
34．Which of the following is a typical feature of male badgers?
A．They don’t run very quickly.
B．They hunt over a very large area.
C．They defend their territory from other badgers.
D．They are more aggressive than females
35．What happened when honey badgers got used to humans around them?
A．They lost interest in people.
B．They became less aggressive towards other creatures.
C．They started eating more.
D．Other animals started working with them.
第二篇 Why So Many Children
In many of the developing countries in Africa and Asia, the population is growing fast. The reason for this is simple: Women in these countries have a high birth rate — from 3.0 to 7.0 children per woman. The majority of these women are poor, without the food or resources to care for their families. Why do they have many so children? Why don’t they limit the size of their families? The answer may be that they often have no choice. There are several reasons for this.
One reason is economic. In a traditional agricultural economy, large families are helpful. Having more children means having more workers in the fields and someone to take care of the parents in old age. In an industrial economy, the situation is different. Many children do not help a family; instead, they are an expense. Thus, industrialization has generally brought down the birth rate. This was the case in Italy, which was industrialized quite recently and rapidly. In the early part of the twentieth century, Italy was a poor, largely agricultural country with a high birth rate. After World War II, Italy’s economy was rapidly modernized and industrialized. By the end of the century, the birth rate had dropped to 1.3 children per woman, the world’s lowest.
However, the economy is not the only important factor that influences birth rate. Saudi Arabia, for example, does not have an agriculture-based economy, and it has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. Nevertheless, it also has a very high birth rate (7.0). Mexico and Indonesia, on the other hand, are poor countries, with largely agricultural economies, but they have recently reduced their population growth.
Clearly, other factors are involved. The most important of these is the condition of women. A high birth rate almost always goes together with lack of education and low status for women. This would explain the high birth rate of Saudi Arabia. There, the traditional culture gives women little education or independence and few possibilities outside the home. On the other hand, the improved condition of women in Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia explains the decline in birth rates in these countries. Their governments have taken measures to provide more education and opportunities for women.
Another key factor in the birth rate is birth control. Women may want to limit their families but have no way to do so. In countries where governments have made birth control easily available and inexpensive, birth rates have gone down. This is the case in Singapore, Sri Lanka, and India, as well as in Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, and Brazil. In these countries, women have also been provided with health care and help in planning their families.
These trends show that an effective program to reduce population growth does not have to depend on better economic conditions. It can be effective if it aims to help women and meet their needs. Only then, in fact, does it have any real chance of success.
41．In a traditional agricultural economy, a large family
A．can be an advantage.
B．may limit income.
C．isn’t necessary.
D．is expensive.
42．When countries become industrialized, _______
A．families often become larger.
B．the birth rate generally goes down.
C．women usually decide not have a family.
D．the population generally grows rapidly.
43．Italy today is an example of an
A．agricultural country with a high birth rate.
B．agricultural country with a low birth rate.
C．industrialized country with a low birth rate.
D．industrialized country with a high birth rate.
44．Saudi Arabia is mentioned because it shows that
A．the most important factor influencing birth rate is the economy.
B．factors other than the economy influence birth rate.
C．women who have a high income usually have few children.
D．the birth rate depends on per capita income.
45．In Mexico, as in Thailand and Indonesia, the government
A．is not concerned about the status of women.
B．has tried to industrialize the country rapidly.
C．does not allow women to work outside the home.
D．has tried to improve the condition of women.
第三篇 Making a Loss is the Height of Fashion
Given that a good year in the haute couture（高级定制女装） business is one where you lose even more money than usual, the prevailing mood in Paris last week was of recession-busting buoyancy. The big-name designers were falling over themselves to boast of how many outfits they had sold at below cost price, and how this proved that the fashion business was healthier than ever. Jean-Paul Gaultier reported record sales, “but we don’t make any money out of it,” the designer assured journalists backstage. “No matter how successful you are, you can’t make a profit from couture,” explained Jean-Jacques Picart, a veteran fashion PR man, and co-founder of the now-bankrupt Lacroix house.
Almost 20 years have passed since the Alice in Wonderland economics of the couture business were first exposed. Outraged that he was losing money on evening dresses costing tens of thousands of pounds, the couturier Jean-Louis Scherrer — to howls of “trahison” from his colleagues - published a detailed summary of his costs. One outfit he described contained over half a mile of gold thread, 18,000 sequins（亮片）, and had required hundreds of hours of hand-stitching in an atelier（制作室）. A fair price would have been ?50,000, but the couturier could only get ?35,000 for it. Rather than riding high on the follies of the super-rich, he and his team could barely feed their hungry families.
The result was an outcry and the first of a series of government - and industry-sponsored inquiries into the surreal（超现实的）world of ultimate fashion. The trade continues to insist that - relatively speaking - couture offers you more than you pay for, but it’s not as simple as that. When such a temple of old wealth starts talking about value for money, it isn’t to convince anyone that dresses costing as much as houses are a bargain. Rather, it is to preserve the peculiar mystique（神秘）, lucrative（利润丰厚的） associations and threatened interests that couture represents.
Essentially, the arguments couldn’t be simpler. On one side are those who say that the business will die if it doesn’t change. On the other are those who say it will die if it does. What’s not in doubt is that haute couture - the term translates as “high sewing” - is a spectacular anachronism. Colossal in its costs, tiny in its clientele and questionable in its influence, it still remains one of the great themes of Parisian life. In his book, The Fashion Conspiracy, Nicholas Coleridge estimates that the entire couture industry rests on the whims（一时兴起）of less than 30 immensely wealthy women, and although the number may have grown in recent years with the new prosperity of Asia, the number of couture customers worldwide is no more than 4,000.
To qualify as couture, a garment must be entirely hand-made by one of the 11 Paris couture houses registered to the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. Each house must employ at least 20 people, and show a minimum of 75 new designs a year. So far, so stirringly traditional, but the Big Four operators - Chanel, Dior, Givenchy and Gaultier — increasingly use couture as a marketing device for their far more profitable ready-to-wear, fragrance and accessory lines.
36．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．The haute couture business is expanding quickly.
B．The haute couture designers make much profit in their sales.
C．The haute couture designers claim losses in their sales.
D．The haute couture businessmen are happy with their profit.
37．According to the second paragraph, Jean-Louis Scherrer
A．was very angry as he was losing money.
B．was in a worse financial position than other couturier.
C．was one of the best known couturiers.
D．stopped producing haute couture dresses.
38．The writer says that the outfit Jean-Louis Scherrer described
A．was worth the price that was paid for it.
B．cost more to make than it should have.
C．was never sold to anyone.
D．should have cost the customer more than it did.
39．The writer says in paragraph 4 that there is disagreement over
A．the future of haute couture.
B．the history of haute couture.
C．the real costs of haute couture.
D．the changes that need to be made in haute couture.
40．What is the writer’s tone towards haute couture business?
A．Somewhat ironical.
B．Quite supportive.
C．Fairly friendly.
D．Rather indifferent.

Arthritis is an illness that can cause pain and swelling in your bones. Toads, a big problem in the north of Australia, are suffering from painful arthritis in their legs and backbone, a new study has shown. The toads that jump the fastest are more likely to be larger and to have longer legs. ________ (46).
The large yellow toads, native to South and Central America, were introduced into the north-eastern Australian state of Queensland in 1935 in an attempt to stop beetles and other insects from destroying sugarcane crops. Now up to 200 million of the poisonous toads exist in the country, and they are rapidly spreading through the state of Northern Territory at a rate of up to 60 km a year. The toads can now be found across more than one million square kilometers. ________ (47) A Venezuelan poison virus was tried in the 1990s but had to be abandoned after it was found to also kill native frog species.
The toads have severely affected ecosystems in Australia. Animals, and sometimes pets, that eat the toads die immediately from their poison, and the toads themselves eat anything they can fit inside their mouth. ________ (48)
A co-author of the new study, Rick Shine, a professor at the University of Sydney, says that little attention has been given to the problems that toads face. Rick and his colleagues studied nearly 500 toads from Queensland and the Northern Territory and found that those in the latter state were very different. They were active, sprinting down roads and breeding quickly.
According to the results of the study, the fastest toads travel nearly one kilometre a night. ________ (49) But speed and strength come at a price — arthritis of the legs and backbone due to constant pressure placed on them.
In laboratory tests, the researchers found that after about 15 minutes of hopping, arthritic toads would travel less distance with each hop. ________ (50) These toads are so programmed to move, apparently, that even when in pain the toads travelled as fast and as far as the healthy ones, continuing their relentless march across the landscape.
A．Furthermore, they soon take over the natural habitats of Australia’s native species.
B．Toads are not built to be road runners — they are built to sit around ponds and wet areas.
C．But this advantage also has a big drawback — up to 10% of the biggest toads suffer from arthritis.
D．But arthritis didn’t slow down toads outside the laboratory, the researchers found.
E．The task now facing the country is how to remove the toads.
F．Toads with longer legs move faster and travel longer distances, while the others are being left behind.

38 C 第二段讲到意大利的情况。第二次世界大战后，意大利经济快速发展，同时出生率也逐渐下降，在20世纪末成为世界最低。
39 B 文章开始说到，通常经济发达的国家出生率低，但沙特阿拉伯是人均收人最高的国家之一，但出生率也很高，然后引出了影响出生率的其他原因。因此，提到沙特阿拉伯是为了说明除经济因素外其他影响出生率的因素。
40 D 最后一段第四句和第五句：This is the case in Singapore, Sri Lanka, and India, as well as in Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, and Brazil. In these countries, women have also been provided with health care and help in planning their families.政府在努力提高女性地位。
41 C 第一段讲到，许多著名设计师都在大肆宣扬他们以低于成本价的价格卖了多少件衣服，后面又引用了几位设计师的话，说他们不会从服装设计上赚任何钱，因此第一段的主题是高级定制女装设计师们宣称自己在亏损。

第5部分：补全短文
46 C 第一段主要讲述研究显示蟾蜍会患关节炎。前面的句子讲跳得快的蟾蜍可能体型更大并且腿更长，然后话锋一转，说这种优势也有一个大弊端，那就是体型大的蟾蜍更容易患关节炎。
47 E 前文讲述澳大利亚的蟾蜍过多影响了生态平衡，后面讲的是人们尝试消灭蟾蜍但失败了，因此填入的句子应该是关于消灭蟾蜍的。
48 A 前文讲到蟾蜍的适应性极强，什么都能吃，而它的天敌却因为它的毒性而死亡了，因此蟾蜍现在对澳大利亚的生态环境产生了极大影响。
49 F 要填人的句子后面有but，说明是转折，后面讲的是速度和力量带来的负面影响，而前文则应该是讲它的优点，因此F项人选。
50 D 前文讲蟾蜍在实验室内越跳越慢，后文讲在野外蟾蜍习惯于跳跃，即使疼痛也要尽量跳得快。D项讲的是在野外蟾蜍的跳跃速度不会越来越慢，符合题义。

英语学习技巧
1、尽可能多的讲英语
学习英语就是为了能够更好的交流，因此英语的“说”的能力是至关重要的，不过我们周围很多的朋友并不能开口说好英语，这主要也跟他们的心理素质有关，因此首先要克服自己的心理障碍，尽可能多的开口讲英语，同时试着将大部分的时间花在和比你讲得好的人交谈。
2、看英语电视或者听英语录音
正确的学习英语，在听和说里面，要注意把握节奏感，这种节奏感可以通过观看英语电视或者录音来体会，针对初级学习者，要注意多听英语录音，试着听话语的速度，以及它是在哪一种语境下发音的，语调又是什么样的，在外界环境下的发音是可以让学习者真切感受到语言的特点的。
3、犯错误及时纠正
在学习英语的过程中，难免会犯各种各样的错误，有些学习者由于各方面的原因害怕犯错误，而没有将自己投入到英语的学习中，学习时畏手畏脚，不能很好的理解英语句子的含义也不敢说出自己的真实想法。其实这并不利于英语的学习，学习一门外来语言最重要的就是弄懂它的意思掌握它的用法，犯的错误越多对自己的帮助就会越多，一定不要害怕错误，有了错误及时纠正就可以了，不要将错误忽略或者掩饰掉才能将英语技能真正提高和掌握。
