16、n the oil industry in Canada, Tori Fahey found herself wanting more from life.

17、d completed an MBA before setting up a move to New York to begin a degree. However, the opportunity of an open year between the MBA and the degree came up, and as a keen touring cyclist, Fahey realised that a much dreamedabout adventure was now becoming a possibility: “The ride in Africa had been on

18、 my fantasy list. It was a moment when I realised that I could do anything, so I should.” Fahey rode across Africa, a 7，500mile trip that took four months.

C Folk tales have saddled(使承担) the moon with major responsibilities: moods, increases in crime and even mental disorders are blamed on the Earths only constant natural satellite. But could the “lunar e

25、ffect” disturb sleep? Scientists have long understood that human activity is facilitated by light, be it sunlight, moonlight or artificial light. But a recent study suggests our ability to sleep is distinctly affected by the lunar cycle, even when taking into account artificial sources of light. Usi

26、ng wrist monitors, researchers tracked sleep patterns in 98 individuals living in three local communities in Argentina over the course of one to two months. One rural community had no electricity access，a second rural community had limited access to electricity, while a third community was located i

27、n an urban setting and had full access to electricity. Participants in all three communities showed the same pattern of sleep oscillations(波动) as the moon progressed through its 29.5- day cycle, with sleep duration changing by between 20 and more than 90 minutes, and bedtimes varying by 30 to 80 min

28、utes. In each community, the peak of participants sleeping less and staying up later occurred in the three- to- five- day period prior to full moon nights, and the opposite occurred on the nights before the new moon, the authors found. Unsurprisingly, data showed the “lunar phase effect” on sleep ap

29、peared to be stronger the more limited access to electricity was. “The result strongly suggests that human sleep is synchronized(同步) with lunar phases regardless of ethnic and socio- cultural background and of the level of urbanisation， ” the researchers wrote in the journal ScienceAdvances. De la I

30、glesia added: “We humans tend to believe that we managed to somehow control nature, and the use of artificial light is a great example of that. But it turns out that there are some forces of nature that we cannot get away from.” Derk- Jan Dijk, a professor of sleep and physiology and the director of

31、 a sleep research centre at the University of Surrey, described the study as exciting but noted that the researchers had not addressed internal influences such as body clocks that could affect sleep patterns.

34、plete. D. Impressive. 5 D Highpitched(高音的) and yet distinct，the sound of a voice calling the name “Amy” is unmistakable. But this isnt a human cryits the voice of a killer whale called Wikie. New research reveals that orcas(杀人鲸) are able to imitate human speech, saying words such as “hello” ， “one,

35、two” and “bye bye” . The study also shows that the creatures are able to copy unfamiliar sounds produced by other orcas. Writing in the journal BiologicalSciences, researchers from institutions in Germany, UK, Spain and Chile, describe how they carried out the latest research with Wikie, a 14yearold

36、 female orca living in an aquarium(水族馆) in France. After first brushing up Wikies grasp of the “copy” command, she was trained to imitate three familiar orca sounds made by her 3- year- old Moana. Wikie was then additionally exposed to five orca sounds she had never heard before, including noises so

37、unding like a creaking(嘎吱响) door. Finally, Wikie was exposed to a human making three of the orca sounds， as well as six human sounds，including “hello” ， “Amy” ， “ah ha” ， “one, two” and “bye bye” The team found that Wikie was often quickly able to copy the sounds, whether from an orca or a human, wi

38、th all of the novel noises copied within 17 trials. Whats more, two human sounds and all of the human- produced orca sounds were managed on the first attemptalthough only one human sound “hello” was correctly produced more than 50% of the time on subsequent trials. The creatures are already known fo

39、r their ability to copy the movements of other orcas, with some reports suggesting they can also copy the sounds of bottlenose dolphins and sea lions after several trials. Scientists say the discovery helps to cast light on how different groups of wild killer whales have ended up with distinct accen

40、ts, adding weight to the idea that they are the result of imitation between orcas. ( )32. What is the authors main purpose in writing the text? A. To analyze orcas speech abilities. B. To highlight the conservation of the orca. C. To inform us of orcas ability to imitate sounds. D. To convince us of

41、 the intelligence of the orca. ( )33. Whats the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. The process of the research. B. The outcome of the research. C. The purpose of the research. D. The significance of the research. ( )34. Which of the following was the easiest for Wikie to copy? A. The six human so

42、unds. B. All the new orca sounds. C. Humanproduced orca sounds. D. Dolphin and sea lion sounds. ( )35. What may the discovery help explain? A. Why orcas imitate human speech. B. Why orcas have different accents. C. How orcas copy others movements. D. How orcas communicate with others. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题
