Humans and elephants don't always get along. In Africa and Asia, elephants damage infrastructure, farmers' crops, and natural habitat important for other species. If an elephant becomes a problem, humans may kill it. So local people and conservationists are trying to find better ways to keep elephants away from sensitive places. Now, researchers think they have a good tool to prevent elephants: honeybee pheromones(信息素).

"Elephants dislike being stung in the trunk, so it's an extremely sensitive organ. Imagine being stung in your nose by a bee, and multiply that a few thousand times.said Mark Wright, a professor of entomology at the University of Hawai at Manoa.

Kenyan farmers have long known that if they hang live beehives(蜂箱) around their farms,they will drive elephants away. "The problem is how to manage hundreds of thousands of hives,if you have a huge area to protect. And then the idea came up to  look at the alarm pheromones,which are chemicals that the bees release to launch an attack on something that's damaging the hive."

So the researchers tested out an artificial mixture of chemicals that imitates honey bees' alarm pheromones. In Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, the team hung white socks treated with the artificial mixture as well as untreated control socks around an elephant watering hole, and then observed the animals' behavior. "Elephants are really curious creatures. They'll walk along and see something like a sock hanging on a branch in the environment, and they'll inspect it, and if it's not treated with the alarm pheromones, they'll pick it up, throw it around,and try to taste it, things like that. And in the case of the treated ones, we found that they would show immediate signs of unease or uncertainty, and they'd eventually back off from them. Very seldom would they go pick them up and play with them." The study is in the journal Current Biology.

In order to avoid the elephants more effectively, the researchers plan to make the pheromone mixture purer. That way, these remarkable animals will stay far away from wherever they should not be going- -and both elephants and humans can coexist a bit more peacefully.

24.What can we infer from the underlined words in Paragraph 2?

A. Bees enjoy stinging elephants.B. Elephants'trunk is a sensitive organ.

C. Your nose is frequently stung by bees.

D. Being stung in the trunk is unbearable to elephants.

25.Why didn't the researchers hang live beehives to keep elephants away from crops?

A. Because it's of no use to elephants.B. Because it's impractical.

C. Because elephants like the taste of honey.

D. Because they prefer to invent new chemicals.

26.Paragraph 4mainly tells us______

A. how to imitate honeybee alarm pheromones

B. elephants'reaction to the white socks

C. how the experiment was carried out

D. why the team hung two different white socks

27.The research was aimed at _______

A. bettering the relation between humans and elephants

B. cutting down the number of elephants

C. preventing elephants from damaging crops

D. protecting elephants

C

Products with“Made in China" on them have become an important part of the world as China is gradually taking the globe with its incredible manufacturing industry. Though Chinese products have already got rid of the image of low quality, there are still many foreigners who consider them cheap, low-end and copycat and claim that they will never buy one.

However, a recent Japanese TV show which conducted a survey on Chinese products has astonished those who looked down upon Chinese manufacturing. The TV show did a test: Clear all the China-made products from a Japanese household. Four hours later, 619 pieces of Chinese products were removed, and even the clothes of the house owner had to be taken off.

Not only in Japan, but also in the US people are seeing the same change. The US writer Sara Bongiorn who published a book titled Without MADE IN CIIINA a decade ago also conducted a similar experiment to measure the impact of globalization on ordinary Americans.She decided not to buy any products made in China for a year, At first, she was pretty positive about her decision, believing she could find substitutes from other countries. But she later proved herself wrong.

Avoiding Chinese products on purpose, Bongiorn could only choose ltalian-made sneakers for her children at the price of $68 per pair, while the Chinese ones were only $I0. Once she tried to buy a candle for her husband's birthday, but failed to find one that was not made in China at six stores.

At last, Bongiorn concluded in her book that "Made in China" products are inseparable to American society, since the inconveniences of living without them are a huge cost.

US President Donald Trump has won lots of support for his slogan "Make America Great Again" and for his“Buy American, Hire American" advertisements during his campaign.However, the hats, clothes, and flags printed with the slogans that were used for the campaign were all made in China.

Today, with the arising awareness of brands and improving demand for quality,“Made in China”has gradually shaken off the label of cheap, copycat products, and is winning are reputation for competence.

28.What can we know from the first paragraph?

A. Products made in China sell best in the world.

B. The quality of Chinese products still has a long way to go.

C. Many foreigners still look down upon Chinese products.

D. Chinese products are popular because they are cheap.

29.From Sara Bongiorn's experiment,we can learn she_________

A. refused any Chinese products for their poor quality

B. lacked confidence at the beginning of the experiment

C. gave up doing the experiment because it was much too expensive

D. came to believe American society can't go without Chinese products

30.What is the purpose of using Donald Trump's campaign as an example?

A. To support the idea that Chinese products are winning the market.

B. To show that Donald Trump knew how to win people's heart.

C. To explain why American people refuse Chinese products.

D. To show that America is in a trade war with China.

31.In which of the following magazines can you most likely find this article?

A. Reader's Digest B. Business Exploration

C. Green China D. National Geographic

“The first year was a bit like the first year of a marriage--but with 25 people rather than just one." That is how Jude Tisdall describes joining a co-housing development built for women over 50. Tisdall, an arts consultant in her early 60s, moved into the New Ground Complex in north London just over a year ago.

Tisdall was lucky to secure one of the 26 apartments in the development. Its L-shaped design, with a single entrance that takes residents past the common room, is intended to foster casual social interaction, and there is a communal garden and space to cook and share meals together. Residents are aged between 50 and 90.

The development is managed by the Older Women's Co-housing community, set up to bring the principle of co-housing communities established in Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and the UK.

“There are not many options for the old in the UK," says Maria Brenton, a founding member.“One third of over 65s live on their own, which causes loneliness and ill health, and two thirds of those are older women. Older people I have researched don't want to live in institutions like a care home. And they often say they don't want to end up like their parents--isolated and lonely."

With the world's population getting older and more urban, the needs of older residents will play an increasingly important part in the shaping of cities. According to UN figures, the number of over 60s is set to double by 2050. All cities will need to adapt to meeting this massive demographic change.

Currently more than 700 cities in 39 countries are signed up for the World Health Organization's global network of age friendly cities and communities to promote healthy ageing and improve the quality of life for people over 60.

32.How did Tisdall feel about joining the co-housing development ?

A. Disappointed B. Uncomfortable C. Happy D. Relaxed 

33.What's the purpose of the apartments'special design?

A. To make the apartments more secure B. To emphasize its unique appearance 

C. To keep residents'free of anxiety.D. To promote residents'communication.

34.What can we know about the co-housing development?

A. It is only accessible to people over 60.B. It differs from a care home 

C. It's first established in the UK.D. It's in the charge of Maria Brenton.

35.The underlined word in Paragraph 5is probably related to         

A. controlling system B. community development

C. population group D. health state

During the Spring Festival, I watch a sci-fi movie"The Wandering Earth"with my friends. The movie direct by Guo Fan is very popular in China. It is set in 2075, where the earth is no longer safe to live. Unlike most western movies, the heroes do not give up the earth. Instead, they choose to save the earth by send it to another sol-like system. I was deep impressed by the three generation of a Chinese family. They devote them to the mission. The movie conveys lots of Chinese values, but I think it is quite worth seeing it.

As scheduled, the voluntary work is to start from July 20, lasting about 15 days. We are going to hold a series of activities, such as handing out extra-curriculum books, magazines and newspapers and delivering lectures on great works of literature, aiming to enrich their cultural life and expand their horizons. At the same time, some of us will act as teachers to give them lessons on Chinese, Maths, English, Art and so forth. Most important of all, we hope what we do will draw public concern and appeal to more people to join us.
