Cruise(巡航)lines worldwide suspended sailings March 13 because of the spread of the coronavirus

pandemic. Now companies such as Carnival and Disney are pushing out their return dates and canceling

more trips meaning passengers can receive full refunds for the price of their trips.

Those who want to take their chances and postpone — even though there’s no firm date when this

pandemic will end — can choose to receive a credit for a future cruise. Just remember: If you choose a

credit, you have given up your refund. Cruise companies want you to stick with them, and are offering extra

perks(津贴) and credits to keep you on board.

Carnival Cruises

On Wednesday, Carnival Cruises announced it would suspend Alaska sailings through June 30 and

scrap all San Francisco cruises for the rest of the year. Typical five-day cruises along the California coast

called at Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico, before returning to the Bay Area.

·1·

The company also canceled cruises aboard Carnival Radiance (an upgrade of the Carnival Victory) through Nov. 1, and Carnival Legend, through Oct. 30. Carnival Legend typically sails from Seattle to Alaska in summer months.

Passengers whose trips have been canceled may opt for a refund or a future cruise credit.

Disney Cruise Line

Disney Cruise Line on Monday extended its suspension for sailings departing in April. Passengers who had tickets on any of its four ships through April 28 may receive a refund or a cruise credit for a trip within 15 months of their original departure date, according to the company’s website.

Disney also warned passengers about sailings aboard the Disney Wonder that are scheduled to resume April 29. The itinerary(行程) calls for a stop in Vancouver, Canada, but Canada has closed its ports at least through July 1.

More than £5,500 has been raised after a plea (请愿) last Monday by a vet Dr Scott Miller. Scott said: “I would like to say a massive thank-you to Express readers from myself, from Australia and from the koalas. It’s amazing that people from across the world can see how significant the catastrophe has been. I do appreciate that people are being very supportive and reaching into their pockets.” An area, a third of the size of Britain is estimated to have been ravaged(毁坏) since the blazes(火灾) began in September.

On Friday a state of emergency was declared in the capital Canberra, with residents told to prepare to evacuate as fires on the outskirts (市郊) threatened to spread. A billion animals are feared to have died, including 25,000 koalas.

Last week Scott told how he had visited his homeland, helping to save wildlife on Kangaroo Island off the coast of Adelaide. While there he rescued a mother and a baby koala who were stuck in a tree. The pair were rushed to a field hospital on the island to be treated. The mum had severe burns to her paws and was badly dehydrated(脱水的), while her baby son had an eye injury and was underweight.

Scott, who has appeared on ITV’s This Morning and BBC’s Blue Peter, said the mother is showing “great signs of improvement” and her wounds are starting to heal. The baby has undergone surgery to his eye and is “recovering from the anesthetic (麻药) and doing well”.

But he added: “The mother remains dehydrated so isn’t producing enough milk to feed the baby. At the moment they’re being housed severally but there is the hope that when the baby is a little stronger he will be able to be returned to his mother.”

Even after they recover, the pair will probably spend their lives in an enclosure while the bush takes years to recover. Scott said: “Sadly patients are still coming in thick and fast. Each of these animals is requiring to be housed and fed, and regular medical treatment to their injuries.”

24. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?

A. Dr. Scott donated more than ￡5,500.

B. Residents were asked to move to Canberra.

·4·

C. Numerous animals might have lost their lives.

D. A large area of Britain has been badly damaged by the fire.

25. What did Dr. Scott do after returning to his homeland?

A. He was rushed to the field hospital to receive treatment.

B. He assisted to rescue the wildlife on Kangaroo Island.

C. He hosted the ITV’S This Morning.

D. He fed the underweight baby koala.

26. What does the underlined word in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Separately

B. Seriously

C. Successfully

D. Sympathetically

27. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. A big Australian fire

B. People’s generous donation

C. Koalas’ recovery

D. Rescuing koalas

【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D

“While animals can’t pick out precise numbers, they can understand that more is more. Interestingly, we know now that numerical（数值的）competence is present on almost every branch of the animal tree of life,” says Andreas Nieder, a neurobiologist from the University of Tuebingen. “Different groups of animals obviously developed this trait（特点）independently from others and that strongly indicates that it has to be of adaptive value.”

Honeybees, for instance, can remember the number of landmarks they pass when searching for food in order to find their way back to the hive. The last common ancestor between honeybees and primates lived about 600 million years ago. But still, they evolved numerical competence that, in many respects, is comparable to vertebrate（脊椎动物的）numerical competence. Also, for example, male frogs sing “advertisement” calls to attract females. The females, listening for the complexity of their calls, choose the male that sings the most calls.

Wolves are more likely to hunt successfully if they have the right number of wolves in their pack for

·6·

the size of their prey（猎物）: With prey like deer, only around six to eight wolves are needed, while hunting wild ox requires a pack of nine to thirteen. Their prey also uses this concept to protect themselves from predators — deer tend to live in large herds to reduce the chance of any individual becoming prey. So obviously they are assessing the number of individuals in their groups for their everyday life situations.

Despite these many examples of numerical competence in animals, this subject has not gotten many first-hand studies. “Many of these behavioral findings in the wild have usually been collected as by-products or accidental findings of other research questions,” says Nieder. He argues that more research needs to be done to fully understand the numerical competence.

28. The phenomenon of animals having their own numerical competence shows that .

A. all groups of animals are related in some ways

B. numerical competence must have a survival benefit

C. the intelligence of animals varies with different environments

D. animals’ numerical competence is determined by their adaptability

29. What role does numerical competence play in wolves’ hunting?

A. It helps them form hunting groups.

B. It gives them more options to hunt.

C. It makes them discover more prey.

D. It offers them new skills to hunt.

30. How does the author mainly develop this text?

A. By listing figures.

B. By asking questions.

C. By giving examples.

D. By making comparisons.

·7·

31. From which is the text probably taken?

A. A biology textbook.

B. A health magazine.

C. A travel brochure.

D. A research paper.

【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文讲述最近一项研究，动物不仅具有理解数字的能力，而且这一能力还对它们

的日常生活有着巨大的影响。

【28题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Different groups of animals obviously developed this trait（特点）independently from others and that strongly indicates that it has to be of adaptive value.”以及第二段列举的例子可知，不同的动物群体明显地独立于其他动物发展出这种特殊的数字能力，这强烈地表明它必须具有适应性价值。由此可推知，动物具有的数字能力是为了生存需要。故选B。

【29题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Wolves are more likely to hunt successfully if they have the right number of wolves in their pack for the size of their prey（猎物）: With prey like deer, only around six to eight wolves are needed, while hunting wild ox requires a pack of nine to thirteen.”可知，如果狼群中狼群的数量与猎物的大小相符，狼更有可能成功捕食:像鹿这样的猎物，只需要大约6到8只狼，而捕猎野牛则需要9到13只狼群。由此可知，数字能力在狼的狩猎中能帮助它们形成狩猎群体。故选A。【30题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段Honeybees, for instance…; Also, for example, male frogs sing “advertisement” calls to attract females. ;第三段Wolves are more…和deer tend to live in large herds…可知，文章中作者

是通过列举honeybees, frogs, wolves, deer这些例子来说明的。故选C。

·8·

【31题详解】

推理判断题。阅读文章，并根据最后一段Despite these many examples of numerical competence in animals, this subject has not gotten many first-hand studies. 可知，本文讲述最近一项研究，动物不仅具有理解数字的能力，而且这一能力还对它们的日常生活有着巨大的影响，所以本文应该选自一篇研究论文。故选D。

To address the plastic pollution troubling the world’s seas and waterways, Cornell University chemists have developed a new polymer (聚合物) that can degrade (降解) when exposed to ultraviolet (紫外线的) radiation, according to the research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

“We have created a new plastic that has the mechanical properties required by commercial fishing gear. If it eventually gets lost in the water environment, this material can degrade on a realistic time scale,” said lead researcher Bryce Lipinski, professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Cornell University. “This material could reduce persistent plastic accumulation in the environment.”

Commercial fishing contributes to about half of all floating plastic waste that ends up in the oceans. Fishing nets and ropes are primarily made from three kinds of polymers, none of which easily degrade. “While research of degradable plastics has received much attention in recent years,” Lipinski said, “obtaining a material with the mechanical strength comparable to commercial plastic remains a difficult challenge.”

Coates and his research team have spent the past 15 years developing the new plastic called isotactic polypropylene oxide, or iPPO. While its original discovery was in 1949, the mechanical strength of this material was unknown before this recent work. The high isotacticity and polymer chain length of their material makes it different from previous plastics and provides its mechanical strength.

Lipinski noted that while iPPO is stable in ordinary use, it eventually breaks down when exposed to UV light. The change in the plastic’s composition is evident in the laboratory, but “visually, it may not appear to have changed much during the process,” he said, “The rate of degradation is light intensity-

·9·

dependent, but under their laboratory conditions, the polymer chain lengths degraded to a quarter of their original length after 30 days of exposure.”

Lipinski and other scientists want no trace of the polymer to be left in the environment. He notes there is precedent for the biodegradation of small chains of iPPO which could effectively make it disappear and ongoing efforts aim to prove this.

32. What is special about the new polymer?

A. It can reduce plastic consumption.

B. It is expected to lower fishing costs.

C. It can degrade plastic waste in the sea water.

D. It has been developed to solve plastic pollution.

33. What can we infer from paragraph 3?

A. Fishing should be forbidden in the sea.

B. It requires great effort to invent the new plastic.

C. Nets and ropes are not the major pollution source.

D. Degradable plastics were not studied until recently.

34. What did the recent study find about iPPO?

A. Its original use.

B. Its special intensity.

C Its mechanical strength. D. Its complex composition.

35. What is Lipinski’s attitude towards the future of iPPO?

A. Hopeful.

B. Indifferent.

C. Skeptical.

D. Negative.

【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A

【34题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段中The high isotacticity and polymer chain length of their material makes it different from previous plastics and provides its mechanical strength.可知，其材料的高等度和聚合物链长度使其不同于以往的塑料，并提供了机械强度。由此可知，最近的研究发现了iPPO可以提供机械强度。故选C。

【35题详解】

·11·

推理判断题。根据最后一段Lipinski and other scientists want no trace of the polymer to be left in the environment. He notes there is precedent for the biodegradation of small chains of iPPO which could effectively make it disappear and ongoing efforts aim to prove this.可知，Lipinski和其他科学家不希望这种聚合物残留在环境中。他指出，iPPO小链的生物降解已有先例，可以有效地使其消失，而正在进行的努力旨在证明这一点。由此推知，Lipinski对iPPO未来的态度是充满希望的。故选A。

That could not have been accomplished without the previous efforts.

Clarifying expectations -- universal diligence. “Stop right there! Give me 10 feet and then you can come by,” says my colleague as I meet her in the common hallway. ___39___Large gatherings are canceled and restaurants are empty as we all spend more time at home to avoid interactions with others. To enter a mall, restaurant or any building on our campus, you must pass a temperature screening and often

·12·

record your presence.

___40___In spite of the global crisis, classes and university operations have continued without disruption.

A. The virus is hard to contain.

B. Planning alternatives -- the ability to move quickly.

C. As a witness, I must share a few leadership lessons.

D. The nation’s readiness for emergencies helps to fight the virus.

E. How often do we really take lessons from the past to protect our future?

F. In fact, I once joked that they should also give us a snorkel(水肺) in case of tsunamis.

58. themselves

59. have evolved

60. hiding 61. a

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了亚洲的年轻人戴口罩是为了防止疾病传播、保护隐私以及带来安全感等。

【56题详解】

考查定语从句。分析句子结构，___1___ means they will try their best to make a ___2___(contribute) to their group.是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句内容，关系词在从句中作主语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，用which引导该从句，所以填which。

【57题详解】

考查名词。该空作make的宾语，用名词，前面有不定冠词修饰，用名词单数，所以填contribution。【58题详解】

考查反身代词。句意：在新型冠状病毒爆发中，亚洲人将戴上口罩，防止他们自己和其他人被感染，这最终将使整个群体受益。表示“他们自己”，所以填反身代词themselves。

【59题详解】

考查时态。根据already，可知这里表示过去的动作或状态持续到现在，用现在完成时，masks是复数，谓语动词用复数，所以填have evolved。

【60题详解】

考查动名词。分析句子结构，___5___ (hide) their faces with masks作句子主语，用动名词，所以填hiding。

【61题详解】

考查固定短语。句意：对于一些年轻女孩来说，当她们没有足够的时间化妆时，戴口罩可以给她们信心和安全感。a sense of……的感觉，该短语是固定短语，所以填a。

【62题详解】

考查固定短语。for this reason，该短语是固定短语，句子第一个单词首字母大写，所以填For。

【63题详解】

考查不定式。a desire to do sth.做某事的愿望，此处用不定式作定语，所以填to communicate。

【64题详解】

考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构，Not only ___9___ (use) to prevent the spread of disease作状语，use 与其逻辑主语masks之间是被动关系，用过去分词，所以填used。

【65题详解】

考查名词的数。句意：口罩不仅被用来防止疾病的传播，而且已经成为主流，并在亚洲国家流行开来。“亚洲国家”是复数意义，用名词复数，所以填countries。
