10、I think his character is similar to mine. He does notlike people either.When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned, and did not encourage me to enter.After a while, however, he decided to invite me in.“Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant. He looked crossly up at me as he took m
11、y horse.“God help us! A visitor!” he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were no other servants, I thought.And it seemed that Heathcliff hardly ever received guests.His house is called Wuthering Heights.

Theyre dangerous.”“Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Hav
15、e some wine. We dont often have strangers here. Im afraidneither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel offended after this, and acceptedthe wine.

20、range but friendly.CAgroup of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around.They look like middle schoolers seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps theyre not sodifferent.A new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist who studies collective behavi
21、our, showsthat the vulturineguineafowl of eastern Africa, like humans, have multilevel societies. In the past, scientists assumedsuch social structures required a lot of brainpower.But the pea-brained guineafowl are revealing thefaults in that assumption.These large birds wander across the landscape
22、 in packs, often walking so closely that theirbodies touch. They may fight each other to maintain their strict hierarchies (等级制度), but at othertimes they engage in friendly behaviourslike sharing food.Suspecting the guineafowl might have a social structure, Dr. Farine and his colleagues began athoro
23、ugh study of their society. For a whole year, they made daily observations of 441 birds.Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart. Theyalso attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds, which let them see exactly where every groupwent, 24 hours a
24、day.The findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society.There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be groups offriends within the small groups. This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird.And Dr
25、. Farine emphasizes this particular birds tiny brain size: “They dont only have small高三英语第 4 页 共 8 页brains relative to mammals ( 哺 乳 动 物 ), they also have quite small brains relative to otherbirds,” he said.According to him, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track
26、ofthe social order. For example, if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individualswithin a group, it knows which group its looking atno need for a brain that can recognize everysingle animal. Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whateverchall
27、enges theyre facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it might make senseto travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.“Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,” Dr. Farine said. There maybe more birds and other animals out there that, although
28、small-brained, have societies asmany-leveled as ourown.28. According to the passage, what inspired Dr.Farine to carry out the study?A.His interest in animal brainpower.B. Previous assumptions about birds.CThe guineafowls social behaviour.DThe faults in earlier research.29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly
29、about?AThe research subjects.BThe researchmethods.CThe research findings.DThe research equipment.30. What can be learned from the passage?A.Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl.B.The guineafowlare goodat recognizing individuals in a group.CBirds maintain social order by tra
30、velling in combined groups.DSmall-brained animals can form multilevel societies.31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A.Tointroduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl.B.Toexplain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies.C.Topresent the findings of a study of the guineafowl.D.To
31、uncover clues about how complex societies are formed.DYou cant make a call or send a text on your mobile phone in the US town of Green Bank, WestVirginia. Wireless Internet is outlawed, as is Bluetooth. As you approach the tiny town on atwo-lane road that snakes through the mountains, your mobile ph
32、one signal drops out, and yourradio stops working. The rusted pay phone on the north side of town is the only way for a visitor toreach the rest of the world. Its a pre-modern place by design, lacking of the latest technologies thatdefine life today.The reason for the towns empty airwaves is apparen
33、t the moment you arrive. Its the Robert C.Byrd telescope, also known as the GBT, a shiny white, 147-metre-tall satellite dish. Its the largestof its kind in the world and one of nine in Green Bank, all of them government owned and operatedby the National RadioAstronomy Observatory (NRAO).You dont lo
34、ok through these kinds of telescopes. Theyre radio telescopes, so instead of高三英语第 5 页 共 8 页looking for distant stars, they listen for them. Theres a long line of astronomers all over the worldwho want to use the telescope which is so sensitive that it could hear a single snowflake hitting theground
35、1,000 miles away.Such a sensitive listening tool needs total technological silence to operate, so in 1958 the USgovernment created a National Radio Quiet Zone, a 33,000 km2area covering Green Bank where,to this day, electronic and radio signals are forbidden every hour of every day.People who live w
36、ithin a 15km of the Green Bank telescope are allowed to use landlinetelephones, wired Internet and cable televisions, but microwave ovens, wireless Internet and radiosare forbidden. You can have a mobile phone, but you wont get a signal.Because of how much its way of life varies from the rest of Ame
37、rica, Green Bank seems to be asomewhat isolated (隔绝), even alien place. For locals, the technology ban is annoying. For otherswho come to Green Bank for a little rest and relaxation, the town has become a refuge.32. What do we know about the town of Green Bank from Paragraph 1?A. Its located at the
38、base of a large mountain.B. It is geographically and technologically isolated.C. Its telecommunications are affected by its geography.D. Many people live in the town and its surrounding areas.33.

Asign of danger.第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 分，满分分，满分 10 分）分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中
41、有两项为多余选项。Whether you want to improve your writing skills as a creative writer or simply perfect yourskills for schoolwork, you can take some steps to learn how to be a better writer.1. Use active instead of passive voice.In English, the most basic sentence structure is S-V-O: Subject-Verb-Object. Th
42、e passivevoice usually requires more words and use of a “to be” verb form, which can suck the energy out of高三英语第 6 页 共 8 页your writing. Learn to avoid these constructions as much as you can.36Itconventionally uses the passive voice to put the emphasis on the results, rather than the researchers.2.37
43、Finding the right verb or adjective can turn an uninspired sentence into one people willremember and quote for years to come. Look for words that are as specific as possible. Strongdoesnt mean obscure, or more complicated. Dont say “utilize” when you could say “use.”383. Cut the chaff.39You dont get
44、 points for saying in 50 words what could be said in 20, or for usingmulti-syllable words when a short one does just as well. It might feel good at first to pack a lot ofideas and details into a single sentence, but chances are that sentence is just going to be hard to read.If a phrase doesnt add an
45、ything valuable, just cut it.40If you notice that your writing isfilled with “-ly” words, it might be time to take a deep breath and give your writing more focus.A. Use strong words.B. Show, dont tell.C. Good writing is simple, clear and direct.D. The main exception to this is science writing.E. Cut
46、ting the chaff is best done at the editing stage.F. “He sprinted” is not necessarily better than “he ran.”G.
