It is a

11、 drug for treating anxiety, called oxazepam. It is accumulating in fish and makes them bolder. Wastewater treatment plants are not designed to get rid of drugs. As a result, the drugs end up in wildlife, reaching harmful levels.“Its something we dont think about very often, but there are a lot of si

12、milarities between fish and humans. So some of our responses to drugs can be seen in fish as well,” said Karen Kidd. She is a biologist at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. The mood-altering drugs get into waterways when people taking the prescriptions throw unused pills into the waste stream

13、.The researchers let perch（鲈鱼）swim in lab tanks with concentrations similar to those found downstream from wastewater treatment plants. “The perch preferred to swim alone rather than in large groups. They were more likely to explore their environment,” said Micael Jonsson of Ume University in Sweden

14、, who helped lead the research.Jonsson said, “This adventurous behavior required more energy. And they ate more plankton（浮游生物）, or tiny algae-eating animals, to guarantee enough energy for their activities. This could reduce the population of plankton.” The result could be more algae(水藻). On the oth

15、er hand, the new behavior could lead to the opposite effect. If perch make themselves closer to their natural enemies, they are likely to be eaten by them.None of the scientists is suggesting that people should give up these drugs. They just want to reduce the effects of the medicines on the environ

16、ment. They recommend wastewater treatment plants should be redesigned to get rid of these medicines. But Kidd said that would be too expensive for some communities.Bryan Brooks, director of the Environmental Health Science Program at Baylor University, said drugs could also be designed to break down

17、 more quickly in the environment. And the government could continue to run recycling programs where people drop off their unused drugs at government locations. Brooks said hes particularly concerned about drug effects on aquatic（水生的）environments, like the Trinity River south of Dallas and the South

18、Platte River near Denver, where the majority of the flow comes from treated wastewater. In the developing world, he said, the problem may be even worse, because of careless wastewater treatment and industrial regulations.1、Which of the following best describes oxazepams effect on fish?AIt causes fis

19、h to be more daring. BIt makes fish much stronger.CIt has little influence on fish. DIt helps treat a fish disease.2、What will happen if perch become adventurous?AThey will eat more algae.BThere will be less plankton.CThey will need more oxazepam.DTheir natural enemies will be stronger.3、What would

20、be the best title for the passage?AMore wastewater treatment plants are neededBFish in wastewater become more adventurousCDrugs for treating mental diseases end up in wildlifeDAnxiety drugs found in rivers change the behavior of fish22（8分） A 60-year-old homeless woman named Smokie has been sleeping

21、outside in the dirt a few doors down from a man named Elvis Summers.Most mornings, she stops by Elviss Los Angeles apartment and asks if he has any recyclable materials for her. Through these conversations, they struck up a friendship.One morning, Elvis saw a news article about man in Oakland who ha

22、s been making tiny houses out of deserted materials. He was inspired to put off paying a few bills so he could buy the wood and hardware to make Smokie a brand new shelter it took him five days to build it, and now, for the first time in ten years, Smokie a brand new shelter. It took him five days t

23、o build it, and now, for the first time in ten years, Smokie has a place to hang the sign. “Home Sweet Home”.“I had nowhere to really build it, so I just built it in the street outside of my apartment,” Elvis told Good News Network. “The local LAPD police have been super cool, and have told me they

24、support itas long as we move it to a different spot every 72 hours.”He made this pretty time-lapse(延时的) video showing how he did it. The materials, including two locks on the front door and strong wheels for moving it around, cost him about $500.“Ive met so many homeless people, good people,” Elvis

25、said in an email, “Since I built Smokies , Ive had several people asking me to make them a tiny home and its turned into much more than just the one house I wanted to build.”Although he runs an online retail store that sells EDM clothes, he has decided to launch an ambitious project to fund more she

26、lters. He plants to get lighter and cheaper materialswithout sacrificing the strength of the housefor the next round. Rick Sassen, a branch manager, kindly donated the roof shingles and cedar supporting Smokies house, final items Elvis couldnt afford on his own. Sassen has promised to work out a dea

29、lp more homeless people.23（8分） For all the pressures and rewards of regionalization (地区化) and globalization, local identities remain the most deeply impressed. Even if the end result of globalization is to make the world smaller, its scope seems to foster the need for more private local connections

30、among many individuals. As Bernard Poignant, mayor of the town of Quimper in Brittany, told the Washington Post, “Man is a fragile animal and he needs his close attachments. The more open the world becomes, the more ties there will be to one s roots and ones land.”In most communities, local language

31、s such as Poignants Breton serve a strong symbolic function as a clear mark of “authenticity (原真性)”. The sum total of a communitys shared historical experience, authenticity reflects a noticeable line from a culturally idealized past to the present, carried by the language and traditions associated

32、with the communitys origins. A concern for authenticity leads most secular (世俗的) Israelis to defend Hebrew among themselves while also acquiring English and even Arabic. The same obsession with authenticity drives Hasidic Jews in Israel or the Diaspora to champion Yiddish while also learning Hebrew

33、and English. In each case, authenticity amounts to a central core of cultural beliefs and interpretations that are not only resistant to globalization but also are actually reinforced by the “threat” that globalization seems to present to these historical values. Scholars may argue that cultural ide

34、ntities change over time in response to specific reward systems. But locals often resist such explanation and defend authenticity and local mother tongues against the perceived threat of globalization with near religious eagerness.As a result, never before in history have there been as many standard

35、ized languages as there are today: roughly 1,200. Many smaller languages, even those with far fewer than one million speakers, have benefited from state-sponsored or voluntary preservation movements. On the most informal level, communities in Alaska and the American northwest have formed Internet di

36、scussion groups in an attempt to pass on Native American languages to younger generations. In the Basque, Catalan, and Galician regions of Spain, such movements are fiercely political and frequently involved loyal resistance to the Spanish government over political and linguistic rights. Projects ha

37、ve ranged from a campaign to print Spanish money in the four official languages of the state to the creation of language immersion nursery and primary schools. Zapatistas in Mexico are championing the revival of Mayan languages in an equally political campaign for local autonomy.In addition to causi

38、ng the feeling of the subjective importance of local roots, supporters of local languages defend their continued use on practical grounds. Local tongues foster higher levels of school success, higher degrees of participation in local government, more informed citizenship, and better knowledge of one

39、s own culture, history, and faith. Government and relief agencies can also use local languages to spread information about industrial and agricultural techniques as well as modern health care to diverse audiences. Development workers in West Africa, for example, have found that the best way to teach

40、 the vast number of farmers with little or no formal education how to sow and rotate crops for higher yields is in these local tongues. Nevertheless, both regionalization and globalization require that more and more speakers of local languages be multi-literate.1、In paragraph 1, the author quoted a

41、mayors word to show that globalization _.Astrengthens local identitiesBweakens regionalizationCstrengthens individualismDweakens local attachments2、The influence of globalization on authenticity is that it _.Aweakens the authority of authenticityBprevents the development of authenticityCenhances the

42、 importance of authenticityDpromotes the maturity of authenticity3、In terms of campaigns for language protection, America differs from Spain and Mexico in that _.Aits volunteers have enough sponsorship from the state.Bits locals are not interested in finding native Americans.Cits youths are eager to

43、 pass on the local traditions.Dits movements are not political.4、Which of the following statements is NOT true?APractically, local languages are less used than English.BLocal languages are more important in daily life.CThe smaller the world is, the more united the locals are.DThe relation between lo

44、calization and globalization is double-win.24（8分） My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like the way it does today. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded b

45、y a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our

46、 “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area. We would do all of the yard work on our own, even the tiring weed-pulling.Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that

47、I could not immediately identify, I knew I didnt plant it and Denise claimed that she didnt either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower with a tall skinny stalk（茎，杆）and only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The
