【正文】 ees mon in North America.（1）How does one species of eucalyptus tree cope with extreme heat waves? A. The researchers think the Parramatta red gums were able to effectively sweat — even without photosynthesis — because they are particularly good at tapping into water deep in the soil. But if a heat wave and a severe drought (干旱) were to hit at the same time and the groundwater was exhausted, the trees may not be so lucky, Drake says. Photosynthesis ground to a near halt in the trees facing the artificial heat wave. But to the researchers39。 conditions in their natural environment, little is known about how individual species handle this situation. Recent summer temperatures in parts of Australia were high enough to melt asphalt. As global warming speeds up the heat and climatic events increase, many plants may be unable to cope. But at least one species of eucalyptus tree can resist extreme heat by continuing to “sweat” when other essential processes stop, a new study finds.【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和寫作目的兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇生活類閱讀，要求考生準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行推理，歸納，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)● Overinvolved parents部分中的“Parents attending interviews, and worse yet, speaking for their children.”可知，父母不應(yīng)該在面試中為代替孩子回答問題。故選A。根據(jù)● Communication部分中的“Silly or stupid addresses。故選C。（1）考查寫作目的。D.Getting dressed neatly for the interview.B.Letting kids to fill in the application form.D.To focus on the interview and stay calm.B.To use inappropriate and inplete language.D.To list unwele behaviors in college application.B.To plain about the process of college application.

Longterm studies…h(huán)elped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure kin laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.”可知，數(shù)十年前，作者堅(jiān)信猴子和猩猩在思考能力和情感上都勝過其他的動(dòng)物。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，D選項(xiàng)正確。當(dāng)木板換成帶X和O標(biāo)記的襯衫時(shí)，豬仍然只走向那些穿帶O標(biāo)記襯衫的研究者。由第三段中的“Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O39。故B選項(xiàng)正確。由第二段中的“When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one”可知，當(dāng)解決問題時(shí)，母雞們會(huì)推理：例如，受過挑選彩色紐扣的訓(xùn)練的母雞們有時(shí)會(huì)選擇放棄即時(shí)的食物獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，換取稍晚一些(而且更好)的食物獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。人類不應(yīng)只將它們當(dāng)作食物。A Revolution in Food Animals【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）C（4）A 【解析】【分析】這是一篇議論文。The Lifestyles of Food AnimalsC.The Inner Lives of Food AnimalsD.s attitudes towards animalsthe necessity of longterm studies on mammalsC.can apply knowledge to new situations（3）Paragraph 4 is mainly about________.

In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?ve been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes outthink and outfeel other animals. They39。s. Then the team switched from reallife objects to Tshirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the Oshirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a twodimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning. As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.3．閱讀理解故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷?？芍擁?xiàng)目結(jié)課時(shí)，學(xué)生一共可獲得5個(gè)學(xué)分。語(yǔ)言課程上60個(gè)小時(shí)，獲得4學(xué)分。根據(jù)Program Details部分中的“You39。根據(jù)Dates部分中的“Withdrawal: by April1st, 2019”可知，在2019年4月1日之前可以撤回對(duì)這一項(xiàng)目的申請(qǐng)，故選B。s most. attractive campuses, the University of Alicante allows you to take part in classes and activities: with Spanish and other international can choose CEA housing or prepare your own independent housing.
