    2．Although most hitchhikers（搭便车的人）are people，passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers．But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot？Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside？
    That is the answer Canadian professors，David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller，who study  the relationship between humans and technology，are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot．
    HitchBOT is built with cheap household items．Thanks to a PC tablet，GPS tracker and camera，hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public，but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks．The smart robot is even able to quote（引用）interesting facts about the areas it has passed through．
    Not surprisingly，many people are doubtful about hitchBOT's ability．Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone．Actually，they are all wrong．The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax，Nova Scotia，to Victoria，British Columbia，a distance of 3，700miles．It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple．It not only reached its destination on August 21st，but also had some amazing adventures along the way．It visited national parks，went fishing，went camping，and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride's speech．
    In addition to helping it get to its destination，its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety-from coveting the robot with a plastic cape（披肩）to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil．

    24．Why is the hitchhiking robot built？B
    A．To help passers-by reach their destinations．
    B．To find out how people might react to it．
    C．To see if it will give tides to strangers．
    D．To entertain drivers on their way．
    25．The hitchBOT can do all of the following exceptD．
    A．talking with the driver    
    B．dancing with people
    C．sending its thoughts and pictures
     D．answering any question raised
    26．How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination？A
    A．Nearly a month．    
    B．Over one month．    
    C．Two months．
    D．One week．
    27．What can we learn about the hitchBOT？C
    A．It was ignored by an elderly couple．
    B．It didn't meet with any danger along the way．
    C．It experienced a long and amazing journey．
    D．It will be put into the market quickly．

    5．On a recent trip to California，I stopped by Natural Bridges，where the monarch butterflies overwinter．Many years ago，I livedclose enough to it that I could walk there regularly and study their gatherings-the most memorable experiences when living in California，This visit，however，turned out to be disappointing．Though the way to the protected monarch garden looked just as I remembered it，I spotted only a few butterflies there．So I had to drive about a mile south to Lighthouse Field a more open area visited by large numbers of bikers，dog walkers and tourists．Many monarehs-at least several hundred-gathered in a small forest of pines there．Why had they moved to this less hospitable habitat-John Dayton，a biologist from San Jose provided an answer．During the 1990s，a deadly disease killed off most large pines sheltering the monarch habitats at Natural Bridges，forcing monarchs to seek shelter elsewhere．Still，since the mid-1990s，the number of overwintering monarchs in California has declined by nearly 90 percent．Butterfly populations at Santa Paula  alone，for example，have dropped from about 120，000 to less than 1，000-the lowest figure in two decades．
    In California，coastal development has reduced the area suitable for overwintering monarchs． Illegal logging，poorly regulated tourism and water withdrawals near the butterfly habitais are also  endangering the butterflies．
    Throughout the butterflies'North American range，declines in milkweed plants-which monarchs need to reproduce-are also knocking down the insect's numbers．Chemicals are widely applied，wiping out the milkweed once growing in the agricultural land．
    Climate change may worsen the monarchs'situation．As atmospheric levels of CO2 continue to rise，milkweeds are likely to produce fewer toxic compounds（有毒化合物） that protect both butterflies and caterpillars （幼虫） from their enemies．Milkweed leaves also may get tougher． Caterpillars will have a harder time chewing the leaves．
    66．Why did the author feel disappointed during his revisit to Natural Bridges？C
    A．Because it had been overpopulated with Monarchs．
    B．Because the monarch's living habit was changed a lot．
    C．Because fewer monarch butterflies overwintered there．
    D．Because the people there were not so hospitable as before．
    67．Where did the author find those monarchs moved？A
    A．Natural Bridges                  B．Lighthouse Field                  
    C．San Jose                         D．Santa Paula
    68．What caused a sharp decline of overwintering monarchs according to Para 3？A
    A．The loss of large pines．        B．A disease of monarchs．
    C．Water pollution．                D．Too many caterpillars．
    69．According to the passage，the decline of the milkweeds is connected withD．
    A．coastal development              B．illegal logging
    C．poorly regulated tourism        D．the abuse of chemicals
    70．Which diagram shows correctly how the passage is developed？（P=paragraph）D

    12．Claustrophobia
    Claustrophobia，or fear of enclosed spaces，is one of the most common fears．Claustrophobia can be deep fear or even panic as a result of being in a small space．
    Claustrophobia can develop after a troubling childhood experience （ such as being trapped in a small space during a childhood game），or from another unpleasant experience later on in life related to small spaces （ such as being stuck in a lift）．（71）DThis response then becomes programmed in the brain，making an association between being in a tight space and feeling anxious or out-of-control．As a result，the person often develops claustrophobia．
    According to Mark Powers，Ph．D．，Associate Professor of Psychology at Southern Methodist University，"Claustrophobia is a specific fear and not a type of panic disorder．The primary specific danger forecasts for claustrophobia are that either the person will be trapped or run out of air．"
    （72）GClaustrophobia symptoms can include：sweating，accelerated heartbeat，upset stomach，passing out，light-headedness，shaking，breathing problem，etc．
    Some common situations can cause anxiety in claustrophobia sufferers．The claustrophobia sufferer will look for an exit when inside a room，avoid driving on the highway or major roads where there is heavy traffic when inside a car，avoid taking lifts when inside a building，or stand near a door when at a party．（73）E
    Claustrophobia can have harmful social and psychological effects，since the patient will often avoid situations in which she thinks she will have an anxiety attack，leading to hiding and sadness．
    （74）A According to Dr．Powers，"Exposure treatment，a form of mind-behavioral treatment，usually results in a total reduction in anxiety symptoms if conducted properly．"
    Flooding is a type of exposure treatment in which the person is exposed to a situation until the anxiety attack passes； a less extreme form of exposure treatment is counter-conditioning．Counter conditioning includes behavior treatment，as the person is taught visualization and relaxation techniques before being slowly reintroduced to the cause situation．
    （75）FMedications to help treat claustrophobia include things which help to ease the heart pounding often associated with anxiety attacks．

    A．The good news is that claustrophobia is very treatable．
    B．The past experience can trace back to the moment of birth．
    C．According to some doctors，claustrophobia is worse than the fear of heights．
    D．When a person experiences such an event，it can often cause a frightening panic attack．
    E．In extreme cases，the very sight of a closed door can lead to feelings of anxiety in a person．
    F．Treatment for claustrophobia can also include medication or a combination of several treatments．
    G．When a person with claustrophobia finds herself in a restricted space，her body responds in certain ways．

    9．Music for Humans and Humpback Whales
    As researchers conclude in Science，the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species，but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain，and is far more ancient than previously suspected．
    In the articles that discuss the field of bio-musicology，the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music，researchers present various evidence to，show that music-making is at once an original human"business"，and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom．
    The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom，and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music，rather than random sound．Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that，even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise，the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty，and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians，and human ears，everywhere．
    For example，male humpback whales，who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing，use rhythms （节奏） similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length-a few seconds．Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves （八度音阶），yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals，rather than moving forwards madly．They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio （比例） which agrees with that heard in much western music．They also use a favorite technique of human singers，the so-called A-B-A form，in which a theme is stated，then developed，and then returned to in slightly revised form．
    Perhaps most impressive，humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme．"This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do：as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material，"the researchers write．

    63．The underlined words"converge on"in Paragraph 3probably meansA．
    A．tend towards  B．refer to  C．turn into  D．put forward
    64．Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales？B
    A．They can remember complex material．
    B．They can create pleasing patterns of music．
    C．They can make sounds like drums continuously．
    D．They can sing along with rhythms of western music．
    65．What is the main idea of the article？D
    A．Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans．
    B．Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales．
    C．Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom．
    D．Music-making it an ancient activity of both humans and animals．
    66．The main purpose of the passage is toB．
    A．argue and discuss        B．inform and explain
    C．compare and advertise    D．examine and assess．
