9、d of time for free D. need to show a valid ID for a free visit on weekdays BA woman would do anything if it meant saving her family. When Karen Klein and her family were in trouble, she knew she had to find help. Klein and her husband Eric were on their way to the Grand Canyon National Park with the
10、ir son. Because it snowed, one of the main roads was closed and their GPS showed them another route through the parks service roads. However, the familys car ended up sliding into a ditch (沟) when they drove down the road covered by snow. Klein knew that few people would pass by since the road was s
11、o secluded, and it was snowing so hard. She knew they would have to get to the major highway to find help before it was too late. Klein was an athlete who had taken wilderness survival classes, and volunteered to go. However, when she got to the nearby highway, it had also been closed because of the
12、 snow. She kept hiking to the parks entrance. For the next 30 hours, Klein hiked 26 miles alone through the storm and wilderness, and when she ran out of food she ate pine branches. At one point, she almost collapsed(崩溃) but struggled to pick herself up again. She took her shoe off to get ice out, b

He took their son and hiked to higher ground where he found cell service and called for help. Rescuers soon got to them, but Klein was still missing. Rescu
14、ers searched for 6 hours and finally found her in a guards cabin. Klein is now recovering in the hospital. “What kept her going was that she didnt want her mother to bury her daughter. She didnt want her son to lose his mother,” Kleins twin sister Kristen Haase said.24. Why did Klein and Eric drive

17、as greater than expected. D. A womans role shouldnt be ignored.CWhat are two things that make humans different from animals? One is language and the other is music. Its true that some animals can sing. However, the songs of animals like birds are very limited. Its also true that humans, not animals,
18、 have developed musical instruments.Music is a strange thing. Its clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate things - especially their emotions (情感). When music is combined with speech in a song, its a very powerful form of communication. If music is truly differen
19、t from speech, then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific study suggests this is true. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russian composer, had a stroke (中风) in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak or understand speech.
20、He could, however, still compose music until his death ten years later. On the other hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech.Why does music have such a strong effect on us physically and emotionally? Thats a harder question t
21、o answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College, London, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires special talent, practice and physical ability. Thats why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someones mate. For example, playing a musical instrument r
22、equires fine muscular control. You also need a good memory to remember the notes. And playing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition. Finally, when a man sings to the woman he loves, it may be a way of showing off.However, Millers theory still doesnt explain why c
23、ertain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research.28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph？A. To introduce the main topic. B. To show the authors attitude.C. To analyze causes. D. To describe a process.29. Music
24、is considered especially powerful when it _.A. is translated into a language B. is combined with speechC. is sung by some famous musician D. is mixed with the cry of an animal30. The example of Vissarion Shebalin is used to show that _.A. he is one of the luckiest person B. he is really interested i
25、n composing musicC. the brain processes music and language separately D. music and language are two different things for some31. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. Effects of music on humans. B. A study on how music works.C. Reasons why music affects us. D. Ways of using music in daily lif
26、e.DWhen a leafy plant is under attack, it doesnt sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and
27、 seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump (输送) through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short. Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. Its a plants way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Becaus
28、e we can watch the neighbors react. Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now
29、 becomes lunch.In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each oth
30、er? Scientists dont know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasnt a true, intentional back and forth.Cha
31、rles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate (亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. Theres a whole lot going on.32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quiet
32、ly. D. It sends out certain chemicals.33. What does the author mean by the tables are turned in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked. B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back. D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.34. Scientists find from their studies that plants can . A. predict natural disastersB. protect themselves against insectsC. talk to one another intentionallyD. he
