Buck did not know that
there was trouble ahead, Trouble for every dog
with strong muscles
and warm long hair,
from Seattle to southern California. Some men had
found a yellow metal in
the Arctic
darkness, and thousands of other men were rushing
there. These men wanted dogs
that were
heavy, with strong muscles for working hard and
furry coats to protect them from the
cold.
Buck
lived at a big house in a sunny valley in
California which was owned by Judge Miller. He
was neither a house dog nor a kennel
(
狗窝
) dog. The whole of Judge
Miller's land was his. Buck
was
king
—
king over all the
crawling, flying things of Judge Miller's lands,
humans included.
His
father, Elmo, had been the Judge's inseparable
companion. And when he died, Buck took
his father's place. He was not so
large
—
he weighed only sixty
kilogram
—
for his mother,
Shep,
had
been
a
Scottish
sheepdog.
Hunting
and
other
outdoor
activities
had
hardened
his
muscle,
and swimming had
made him healthy.
This
was Buck in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery
of gold in the Klondike brought Men
from
everywhere
to
the
frozen
north.
But
Buck
did
not
read
the
newspapers.
And
he
did
not
know that Manuel one of
the gardeners helper, was not a good man. Manuel
gambled (
赌博
) and
wasted the little money he had. No one
saw him and Buck go off on what Buck thought was a
walk. No one saw them arrive at the
railway station where Manuel sold Buck to a man
who was
waiting for him.
After two days ho was cried off the
train in Seattle into a small, high-walled yard.
There a fat
man in a red sweater broke
open the cage with a small axe (
斧头
)
,
while holding a club
(
棍棒
) in
the other
hand. When there was a big enough opening, Buck
jumped out like a red-eyed devil,
straight
at
the
fat
man.
But
in
mid-air,
just
as
his
teeth
were
going
to
close
on
the
man,
he
received
a shock that he had never felt before. It turned
him over and onto the ground. He had
never been struck by a club in his
life, and he did not understand. He was smashed
down a dozen
times.
Buck saw that he stood no chance
against the man with the club. He had learned the
lesson,
and for the rest of his life he
never forgot it. It was his introduction into the
world of primitive law.
In the end a small man called Perrault paid three
hundred dollars for him, and he was led away
with Curly, a good-natured Newfoundland
dog.

统治着
Judge Miller
领地上
所
有爬行、飞行的东西,包括人类。所以
A
选项是巴克自豪的原因;第三段中的
“His

Judge's
inseparable
companion.
And
when
he
died,
Buck
took

0
几次;
以及倒数第四段中的
“Buc
k saw that he stood no chance against the man with
the club.”
可知,
巴克看到,它再也站不起来对抗他

阅读理解
It's
3
o'clock
and
you've
been
hard
at
work.
As
you
sit
at
your
desk,
a
strong
desire
for
chocolate
overcomes
you.
You
try
to
busy
yourself
to
make
it
go
away.
But
it
doesn't.
Here
is
another situation.
Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing
you want to eat is a big bowl
of
chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you
were sick as a child. Food cravings are a
strong desire for a specific type of
food. And they are normal.
Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare
hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a
fairly simple connection between the
stomach and the brain. They even call it simply
“stomach
hunger.” When our stomachs
burn up all of
the food we have eaten,
a hormone (
荷尔蒙
) sends a
message to one part of the brain for
more food, which regulates our most basic body
functions
such as thirst, hunger and
sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start
the appetite and
you eat. Hunger is a
function of survival.
A
craving is more complex. It activates
(
使活跃
) brain areas related to
emotion, memory and
reward. These are
the same areas of the brain activated during drug-
craving studies. So, some
scientists
call food cravings “mind hunger.”
People often crave foods that are high
in fat and sugar.
Foods that are high
in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the
brain. These chemicals give us
feelings
of pleasure.
In a 2007 study, researchers at
Cambridge University found that “dieting
or restricted eating
generally increases the possibility of
food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a
food that
you want, the more you may
crave it. However, fasting is a bit different.
They found that eating
no food at all
for a short period of time lessened food
cravings.
So,
the
next
time
you
crave
something
very
specific,
know
that
your
brain
may
be
more
to
blame than your stomach.

What is the function of the first
paragraph?
A. To
remind readers of their own special food.
B. To deepen the understanding of
hunger.
C. To report the
discovery of craving study.
D.
To lead to the topic of the whole
passage.
(

)
What do we learn about food
craving?
A. It
shows food is linked to feelings.
B. It ensures a person survives
hunger.
C. It means the
stomach functions well.
D.
It proves the brain decides your
appetite.
(

What's the likely result of
dieting?
A. The
decrease of chemicals.
B. The increase of food desire.
C. The refusal of fat and sugar.
D. The disappearance of appetite.

On
a
college
camping
trip,
curiosity
about
waves
and
sand
caused
Rob
Thieler
to
study
shorelines
around
the
world.
Thirty
years
later
and
now
a
U.S.
Geological
Survey
research
geologist, Thieler,
is combining science and smartphone technology to
help study an endangered
bird, the
Atlantic Coast piping plover.
The
piping
plover
is
a
shorebird
that
breeds
(繁殖)
along
the
Atlantic
Coast,
the
Great
Lakesand the Great Plains. Rising sea
levels associated with climate change, as well as
increased
development
in
their
beach
habitats
(栖息地)
,
threaten
the
species
(物种)
.
To
help
track
changes in piping plover habitats,
Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in
2012. This is a
marked change from the
typical way scientists collect data, which
involves gathering information
using
specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and
then putting into spreadsheets.
Since
releasing
iPlover,
scientists
have
gathered
data
across
1500
km
of
breeding
range.
Thatequals about a
third of the distance across the U.S., which is a
large area to cover for only
two
thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the
east coast. Instead of having to travel and
spend days at each site, a number of
cooperators in the field use the app to collect
and send data,
allowing scientists to
gather data more efficiently. It also allows them
to collect data at the same
time during
each breeding season, providing a better picture
of changes that happen over longer
periods
of
time.
And
fast,
centralized
access means
scientists
can
look
at
data
quickly
to
get
a
real-time idea of where
and how piping plovers are using their
habitats.
While iPlover
is used by trained field staff, other apps like
the U. S. Geological Survey'sweb-
based
“iCoast—Did
the
Coast
Change?”
invite
citizen
scientists
to
identify
coastal
changes
by
comparing
bird's-eye-view
photographs
taken
before
and
after
storms.
All
the
information
scientists and
citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and
state agencies create policyplans for
addressing climate change impacts

What can we know about the piping plover?
A. Its behaviour is
changing. B. Its
habitat is growing bigger.
C. Its living environment is becoming
worse.
D. Its breeding is
limited to the Atlantic Coast.

1.
要想做好科普英语阅读
理解题,同学们就要注意平时多读科普知识类文章,学
习科普知识,积累常见的科普词汇
,从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力。
2.
要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点。科普类文章一般由标题
(Head

,导语
(Introduction)
,
背景
(Back

,主体
(Main <

和结尾
(End)
五部分构成。标题是文章中心思想高度而
又精辟的概括,但根据历年的高考
情况来看,这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题,而要同学
们选择标题。导语一般位于整篇文
章的首段。背景交待一个事实的起因。主体则对导语概
括的事实进行详细叙述,这一部分
命题往往最多,因此,阅读时,同学们要把这部分作为
重点。结尾往往也是中心思想的概
括,并与导语相呼应,命题者常在此要设计一道推理判
断题。

Parents may think they're smart
about where they store medicines, but their kids
are smarter.
Nearly 60,000 young
children are rushed to the hospital every year
after getting into medicines
not meant
for them, according to a new report from Safe Kids
Worldwide.
The report
finds little connection between what parents know
about storing medicines safely
and what
they actually do. Nine out of 10 parents know that
medicines should be stored up and
away
out of reach and sight, but 7 out of 10 of them
admit not doing that. They leave medicines
out on kitchen counters, sinks and
sofas, believing babies and
toddlers(
学步者
)aren't tall
enough
or strong enough to reach them.
Unfortunately, they probably can. Children as
young as a month
have
ended
up
in
an
emergency
department
because
they'd
been
poisoned
by
getting
into
a
medicine that was left within
reach.
Most poisonings
related to medicines---particularly among babies
and toddlers---occur within
their
home.
Kids
develop
rapidly
and
they
want
to
explore
their
environment.
At
certain
ages
they
have
a
lot
of
hand-to-mouth
activity,
and
so
it's
very
common
for
them
to
explore
their
environment and then try to taste what
they find.
The new Safe
Kids worldwide report includes a survey of 2,000
parents with children under age
6.
While the number of children visiting an emergency
department for accidental poisonings had
declined since the 2010 maximum, the
decline has slowed in recent years.
Prescription and over-the-counter
medicines cause the most severe poisonings, but
vitamins
and
supplements(
补充品
)can also
cause problems. There are steps families can take
to lower the
risk for an accidental
medicine poisoning.

Why
are children poisoned according to the text?
A. Some of the medicines at

Castle Dale is a small town in
central Utah. My grandpa's farm is a few miles to
the north. I
grew
up
there.
Milking
a
cow,
feeding
the
chickens
and
cutting
firewood
were
daily
routines.
Grandpa had me
carrying a broom to do snow cleaning when it was
actually taller than I was. This
was
the work kids like me learned to do at a young
age.
I
was
tall,
very
tall
at
a
really
young
age.
My
unusual
height
caused
people
to
look,
ask
questions, laugh, tease, and sometimes
even challenge me to fight. I was teased cruelly
as a kid.
It wasn't fair, I knew, but
that was just the way it was. Luckily, I was
taught at a very young age a
very
important lesson. I am different and that's
Okay
—
I'm unique and I
matter. No one could ever
take that
away from me. I knew this then, and I know this
now. That alone helped me through the
frustrations and heartaches of normal
life.
When I was in
junior high school, I realized something else that
helped me cope. Most teasing
came
from
one
of
two
places
—
people
who
were
either
jealous
or
ignorant
(
愚昧
).
I
couldn't
change
the way they were, but I could change the way I
felt. I was not going to feel bad because
of their ignorance or jealousy. It
wasn't worth it. Realizing this didn't stop them,
or change the
fact that these comments
hurt. It did, however, give me a way to understand
these people and
deal with their
treatment in a way that was okay for
me.
These things still
happen today. It will probably happen the rest of
my life. I will always be 7
feet,
6
inches
(2.29
meters)
tall.
I
wouldn't
change
that
for
anything.
People
will
always
look
because it is not every day that you
see someone that tall. I learned that at a young
age and I
now try to teach my own
children that they are unique and they matter.
That is the message I
give to you.
Regardless of your race, religion, background, or
circumstances ... Being different is
okay.

For
years,
my
time
spent
in
the
shower
could
have
got
me
a
mention
in
Guinness
World
Records as the shortest time taken to
bathe. I hurried up during this
process.
One day,
however, while at a party, I heard an artist
friend telling everybody that his idea came
while
he
was
having
a
shower.
“What
about
you?”
he
asked,
“Don't
you
get
your
creative
thoughts from the
same place?”
“I'm in and out in a hurry,” I told him
proudly. “I have no time to waste!”
“What
a
pity,”
he
said.
“That's
the
place
where
you
need
to
slow
down;
plenty
of
great
though
ts come from there!” I
tried it out. I slowed down the whole process,
started enjoying the
warm water, taking
a little longer to soap myself and even spending
more time just enjoying the
process,
and realized how much I had missed in hurrying up
all these years.
A
woman
told
me
how
much
stress
her
friend
was
suffering
from
and
how
she
sought
to
convince
her
that
she
needed
to
find
ways
to
relax.
She
gave
her
a
videotape
on
stress
management
and
relaxation
techniques,
and
encouraged
her
to
watch
it
right
away.
Fifteen
minutes later, her
friend handed back the tape. “It was good,” she
said,” but I don't need it.”
“But
it's
a
70
-
minute
video,”
the
woman
replied,
“You
couldn't
have
watched
the
whole
thing.”
“Yes, I did,” her friend said. “I put
it
in fast -
forward!”
A
major
social
problem
of
the
21st
century
is
Hurry
Sickness.
We
hurry
through
work.
We
swallow
fast food. We complain that we don't have enough
time. We race through the days and
weeks until one day we look back in
amazement and commen
t, “My god, how the
years flew by!”
Then we realize the
heavy price we have paid for traveling
fast.
Symptoms
of
Hurry
Sickness
include
stress
and
anxiety,
bad
relationships,
lowered
work
performance and even
disease. Some people don't survive it. What's the
cure? Slow down, for
life is so short
and precious that we must live it well.

Generally

anything

to

certain
zones.
But
officials
in
the
Brazilian
town
of
Biritiba
Mirim,
70km
(45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone
far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents
from dying
early because the local
cemetery(
墓地
) has reached
full capacity.
There's
no more room to bury the dead, they can't be
cremated(
火化
) and laws forbid
a new
cemetery. So the mayor has
proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor
Roberto Pereira
says
the
bill
is
meant
as
a
protest
against
federal
regulations
that
prohibit
new
or
expanded
cemeteries
in
preservation
areas.

A
2003
decree(
法令
)
by
Brazil's
National
Environment
Council
forbids
burial
grounds
in
protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to
build a new cemetery, but the project has been
stopped
because 98% of Biritiba Mirim
is considered as a preservation area.
Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000
inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents
from passing
away. The bill also calls
on people to take care of their health in order to
avoid death.
