Dr. A. William Frankland was born in 1912. He began medical school in the 1930s and held a post in the army in Singapore during WWII. Unfortunately, Frankland resulted in being held as a POW (战俘) for more than three years. Frankland returned to England after the war and studied under Alexander Fleming, the man who discovered penicillin (盘尼西林). He continued to become an allergist and developed a pollen count (花粉计数) system to help people understand what caused their allergic reactions.
Paul Watkins once wrote a biography about Dr. Frankland’s life, From Hell Island To Hay Fever. “This has been quite a unique experience,”
Watkins said, “one that I think very few people will have the privilege to work with Dr. Frankland about his unusual long life, in which he has seen so many changes and difficulties，which most of us can’t even comprehend.”
In 1953, at St. Mary’s Hospital in London, Frankland popularized the pollen count, which is now used worldwide to help doctors and patients understand what caused the allergy. He ran tests on himself to make his discoveries. “I caused severe allergic reactions in myself to an insect,” he explained. “I was determined to find out how I reacted to mosquitoes, fleas or whatever insect biting me.”
Apart from his long life，Frankland also sets apart from others in his quick thinking. He’s now writing a paper about how penicillin was discovered, based on his time with Fleming. Since he turned 100, he has written several articles for publication. “I wrote four articles from the age of 100 to 105,” he said. “But I’m still working on writing more articles now. I think I’m still skilled at it.”
Frankland acknowledges the sadness, as well as the highlights he has experienced over the years, choosing to swallow the negative memories and emotions and focus on happiness. 4. The first paragraph mainly focuses on Frankland’s _____________. A. amazing experiences B. great achievements C. brave fights D. strong determination
5. What does Watkins think of Frankland’s life? A. Unique and lucky. B. Long and peaceful.
C. Challenging and extraordinary. D. Productive and hardworking. 6. What did Frankland do in 1953?
A. He brought the pollen count system to London. B. He risked his health to make his discoveries. C. He discovered penicillin with Fleming. D. He wrote a biography for himself.
7. What do we know about Frankland at an old age? A. He tried his best to encourage later generations. B. He made some major medical achievements. C. He still possessed the sharpness of his mind, D. He worked closely with his old friends. C
Background noise is generally regarded as an annoyance that can mask important sounds. However, it can also convey information about important environmental conditions and allow
animals to make informed decisions. When bat researchers recorded and played back rain sounds for two different species of bats, both species chose to delay flying out of their nests.
“Bats are sound specialists,” said Inga Geipel, a scientist from Panama. ‘‘They’re active at night and depend on sound to fly around and find food. When they hear the sound of rain at sunset, they decide to stay inside their nests for a while longer.”
That’s because wet bats spend more energy when flying. Further, rain might also have a strong influence on the bats’ ability to fly around and find food through sound. Rain noise could mask prey (猎物）sounds or destroy the echolocation (回声定位) system of the hunting bats.
Geipel and colleagues examined the effect of rain noise on bats’ decision-making. They studied two different species of bats: the common big-eared bat, which catches insects from leaves and other surfaces in the lower layer of plants, and the Pallas’s mastiff bat that hunts insects on the wing as they fly through open spaces.
“We wondered whether bats are staying longer in the safety of their nests during rain storms and whether noise would inform them about the rainfall outside,” Geipel said. To test their ideas, Geipel and her team put a speaker near entrances of bat nests and played recordings of heavy downpours.
Meanwhile, they recorded the video of the bats’ responses. They also played recordings of normal forest sounds. As a result, both species delayed their flying out of their nests when they heard the sound of rain.
The scientists also observed that the big-eared bats rapidly flew in and out of their nests on short flights, likely trying to gather direct information about environmental conditions to determine whether it’s safe to hunt outside.
8. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Bats often refuse to fly out on rainy days. B. Bats do poorly in making right decisions. C. Noise can be both harmful and beneficial. D. Noise has different effects on different bats.
9. We can infer from Geipel in Paragraph 2 that bats _______________. A. prefer to stay in nests at sunset B. are good research subjects C. struggle to hunt for food D. are sensitive to sounds 10. How did Geipel and colleagues conduct their research? A. By collecting different noises. B. By making comparisons. C. By showing examples. D. By analyzing causes.
11. Why did the big-eared bats rapidly fly in and out of their nests? A. To explore the weather conditions. B. To share environmental information. C. To warn other bats about enemies. D. To send food messages. D
Soon, Netflix, the world’s largest online streaming service, may be letting viewers choose everything, from the best on-screen love stories to the safest path to escape a killer.
The company wants to try out more interactive (互动的) entertainment, following great feedback (反馈）from its recent groundbreaking episode (集) of Black Mirror. The episode was called It let users
make decisions at many important — and not-so-important — moments, and those decisions began with choosing a character’s morning foods.
The company is looking for ways to include choices in different kinds of movies, from comedy, horror to romance. The idea was to give viewers a simple choice at first, so they could become familiar with the technology. A viewer uses a remote control or pushes on the screen to make their choice. If the viewer does not choose, the movie just keeps playing.
The breakfast scene became an Internet sensation when Bandersnatch came out last December, causing great surprise and excitement among people. After the food decision, viewers selected choices such as the kind of music a character would play or whether the character would jump off a building. Bandersnatch gave Netflix programmers valuable information. They were able to better understand how long people want to participate in interactive programming, and how many choices they might want to make.
When viewers can change what happens in a story, they feel deeply close to the character. The technology is still in the early part of development. A researcher said he does not predict that interactive entertainment will replace traditional storytelling. “I don’t know if I would do it every day，” he said, “but as part of my view，it’s pretty exciting.” Netflix has already produced a few interactive shows for children. “Young people have seemed to quickly like the idea. Kids don’t have fixed rules,” fie said. “They assume that’s the way the world should be and they’ll try it.” 12. With Netflix’s technology, viewers can ____________. A. make their own decisions on some video moments B. interact with the characters in some famous movies C. offer important suggestions to improve video making D. enjoy the best on-screen love stories in thriller movies
13. What does the underlined word “sensation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Debate. B. Base. C. Hit. D. Service.
14. What can we infer from the researcher’s words in the last paragraph? A. Children are more likely to accept the products. B. Interactive entertainment will develop very fast. C. The traditional storytelling will be replaced soon. D. There should be rules to control viewers’ behavior. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Play a Role in Interactive Entertainment B. Create a Movie Online in Your Own Way
C. Tell the Actors What to Do in Your Future Movies
D. Choose Your Favorite Way to Interact with Movie Stars 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
