The Boy Made It!

On Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early

afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see

far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t

have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.

Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival

shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put.

The first thing he did

was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body

temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.

Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole

in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.

By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby

stream so that his body wouldn

’

t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last,

Nicholas did the only thing he could - he huddled (

蜷缩）

in his cave and slept.

The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his

tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday,

Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher

found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.

Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched

Grylls' survival show

Man vs. Wild.

That's where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each

episode (

—期节目）

of

Man vs. Wild

, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.

When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had

made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

56. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?

A.

He got lost.

B.

He broke his skis.

C.

He hurt his eyes

D.

He caught a cold.

57. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?

A.

B.

He lighted some branches.

C.

He kept on skiing.

D.

He built a snow cave.

58. On Tuesday, Nicholas _________.

A.

returned to his shelter safely

B.

was saved by a searcher

C.

got stuck in the snow

D.

stayed where he was

59. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ___________.

A.

did the right things in the dangerous situation

B.

watched Grylls' TV program regularly

C.

created some tips for survival

Life in the Clear

Transparent

animals

let

light

pass

through

their

bodies

the

same

way

light

passes

through

a

window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300

feet - as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a

simple

touch.

Sonke

Johnsen,

a

scientist

in

biology,

says,

“These

animals

live

thro

ugh

their

life

alone. They never touch anything unless they're eating it, or unless something is eating them. ”

And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see through? It's trickier than you

might think.

The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a

straight line. But some materials slow and scatter (

散射）

light, bouncing it away from its original

path.

Others

absorb

light,

stopping

it

dead

in

its

tracks.

Both

scattering

and

absorption

make

an

object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.

But a transparent object doesn't absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass

through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn't look very different

from the surrounding air or water. You don't see it - you see the things behind it.

To

become

transparent,

an

animal

needs

to

keep

its

body

from

absorbing

or

scattering

light.

Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments (

色素）

that absorb specific colors of

light. But a transparent animal doesn't have pigments, so its tissues won't absorb light. According to

Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.

Animals are built of many different materials - skin, fat, and more - and light moves through

each

at

a

different

speed.

Every

time

light

moves

into

a

material

with

a

new

speed,

it

bends

and

scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very

small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see-through. Others

build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like (

果冻状的）

material and spread themselves over it.

Larger

transparent

animals

have

the

biggest

challenge,

because

they

have

to

make

all

the

different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look

uniform.

But

how

they’r

e

doing

it

is

still

unknown.

One

thing

is

clear:

for

these

larger

animals,

staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.

63.

A. stay in groups

B. can be easily damaged

D. are beautiful creatures

C. appear only in deep ocean

_______.

silently

A.

change the direction of light travel

B.

gather materials to scatter light

C.

avoid the absorption of light

D.

grow bigger to stop light

66.

The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals __________.

A.

move more slowly in deep water

B.

stay see-through even after death

C.

produce more tissues for their survival

D.

take effective action to reduce light spreading

D

Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better.

However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in

attitudes.

An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are

attending college. Surveys (

调查）

on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be

“

very

”

or

“

somewhat

”

overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same

surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation

ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today's parents are trying to manage their children's

lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.

However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to

let go of their “adult” children.

In the context (

背景）

of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in

the case of parents' involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had

wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible?

2015

Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the

urge to do so wasn't present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents - today's

grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not

been a barrier.

Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication

between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent

on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This

phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.

Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has

many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who

have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology

and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.

67.

The surveys inform us of ________.

A.

the development of technology

B.

the changes of adult children's behavior

C.

the parents’ over

-protection of their college children

D.

the means and expenses of students' communication

68.

The writer believes that ________.

A.

parents today are more protective than those in the past

B.

the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages

C.

technology explains greater parental involvement with their children

D.

parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence

69.

What is the best title for the passage?

A.

Technology or Attitude

B.

Dependence or Independence

C.

Family Influence or Social Changes

D.

College Management or Communication Advancement?
