worldwide. each individual (個體的) ant hardly weighs anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. they also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles. for animals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to their wonderful social behavior.in colonies (群體) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labor. even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization. where we use sound and sight to communicate, ants depend primarily on pheromone (外激素), chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony. when an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. when an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.in fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. they are completely fearless and will readilytake ona creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will give their lives to help defeat an enemy.behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on earth, for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. because they think as one, they have a collective (集體的) intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.21. ants can use pheromones for_.a. escapeb. communicationc. warning enemiesd. arranging labor22. what does the underlined expression take on in paragraph 3 mean?a. accept. b. employ.c. play with. d. fight against.23. which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?a. their behavior.b. their size. c. their number.d. their weightbwhen i was nine years old, i loved to go fishing with my dad. but the only thing that wasnt very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while i couldnt catch anything. i usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. he always answered, “son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, i remember being even more upset then because, “im not a fish!” i didnt know how to think like a fish. besides, i reasoned, how could what i think influence what a fish does?as i got a little older i began to understand what my dad really meant. so, i read some books on fish. and i even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. i learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. that is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. yet, fish dont have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyesthe more i understood fish, the more i became effective at finding and catching them.when i grew up and entered the business world, i remember hearing my first boss say, “we all need to think like salespeople.” but it didnt completely make sense. my dad never once said, “if you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” what he said was, “you need to think like a fish.” years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, i gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. it is not an easy job. i will show you how in the following chapters.24. why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?a. he could not catch a fish.b. his father was not patient with him.c. his father did not teach him fishing.d. he could not influence a fish as his father did.25. what did the authors father really mean?a. to read about fish.b. to learn fishing by oneself.c. to understand what fish think.d. to study fishing in many ways.26. according to the author, fish are most likely to be found _.a. in deep water on sunny daysb. in deep water on cloudy daysc. in shallow water under sunlightd. in shallow water under waterside trees.27. after entering the business world, the author found _.a. it easy to think like a customerb. his fathers fishing advice inspiringc. his first bosss sales ideas reasonabled. it difficult to sell services to poor people28. this passage most likely comes from _.a. a fishing guideb. a popular sales book c. a novel on childhoodd. a millionaires biographyc奶join the discussion lakelander 2 hours agotoday, a man talked very loud on his phone on a train between malvern and reading, making many passengers upset. i wonder how he would react if i were to read my newspaper out loud on the train, i have never had the courage to do it, though.pak50 57 minutes agowhy not give it a try perhaps you should take lessons on a musical instrument. the late musician dennis brian is said to have asked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. when his request was refused, he took out his french horn(號) and started to practice.angie oedema 42 minutes agoi dont see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public. dont do to others what you wouldnt like to be done to yourself. once, a passenger next to me talked out loud on his mobile phone. i left my seat quietly, giving him some privacy to finish his conversation. he realized this and apologized to me. when his phone rang again later, he left his seat to answer it. you see, a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job better. taodas 29 minutes agoi did read my newspaper out loud on a train, and it turned out well. the guy took it in good part, and we chatted happily all the way to edinbergh.sophie 76 13 minutes agoi have not

how to chat with strangers. d. how to make a phone call.32.where is the passage most probably taken from？ a. a webpage. b. a newspaper. c. a novel. d. a report dthe technology is great. without it we wouldnt have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the oceans depths or eat microwave sausages（香腸）. computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. but sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients whove come into their surgery waving an internet print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. the truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they dont have throat cancer, and its just that their throats are swollen. being a graduate of the internet“school”of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks.one day mrs. almond came to my hospital after feeling uncomfortable at work. while i took her blood sample (樣本)and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly,“i know whats wrong; ive got throat cancer. i know theres nothing you doctors can do about it and ive just got to wait until the day comes.”as a matter of routine i ordered a chest x-ray. i looked at it and the blood results an hour later. something wasnt right.“did your local doctor do an x-ray?”i asked.“oh, i havent been to the doctor for years,”she replied.“i read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so i knew thats what i had.”however, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didnt fit with itbut shed just ignored this.i looked at the x-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasnt the cancer but tuberculosis (肺結核)something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. she was lucky we caught it when we did.mrs. almond went pale when i explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered. it was certainly a lesson for her.“im so embarrassed,”she said, shaking her head, as i explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested. she listed up to about 20, and then i went to my office to type up my notes. unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so i had to wait until someone from the it department came to fix it. typical. maybe i should have a microwave sausage while i waited?33. mrs. almond talked about her illness calmly because _.a. she thought she knew it wellb. she had bought medicine onlinec. she graduated from a medical schoold. she had been treated by local doctors34. mrs. almond said“im so embarrassed”(para. 7) because _.a. she had distrusted her close friendsb. she had caused unnecessary troublec. she had to refuse the doctors adviced. she had to tell the truth to the doctor35. by mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove _.a. its a must to take a break at workb. its vital to believe in it professionalsc. its unwise to simply rely on technologyd. its a danger to work long hours on computers第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中兩項中為多余項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。forgivenessto forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. when someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. however, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. people who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research._36_ try the following steps:calm yourself. _37_ you can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.dont wait for an apology. many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. they may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. _38_ keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you._39_ if you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view.dont forget to forgive yourself. _40_ but it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it.a. why should you forgive?b. how should you start to forgive?c. recognize the benefits of forgiveness.d. try to see things from you offenders angle.e. for some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.f. to make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.g. if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.第三部分：英語知識運用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié)
