32、atural climate changes due to global warming, it can surely affect seals.The majority of them live in the Antarctic region, so as the ice is melting, their natural habitat can be seriously affected.These changes dont take place overnight.They can be the result of many years of additional temperature

33、s in the area.The seals then have to find ways to adapt. Seals depend on the cool air currents to bring plenty of food for them.When the temperatures get higher, there is less and less food and the seal population starts to shrink.Mothers arent healthy enough to feed their babies.Many of them end u

34、p abandoned as the mothers have to leave to find their own source of food. The fact that their desire to produce young can be changed by the warmer temperatures is frightening too.It is also believed that the warmer temperatures can allow different diseases and viruses to attack the seals.This is a

35、 huge concern as they can rapidly wipe out huge numbers of seals out there. However, these changes in climate and temperature arent all bad for other species of seals.Scientists have found that those living in warmer climates are producing more young due to the changes.Research also shows that the

36、females are moving further to find food and water.When they are out of the reach of the governing males, they are more willing to accept the moves of other males in the group. This is good news too because it means that there will be more selection in the gene pool (基因庫) for future generations.It c

37、an help the seals as a species adapt to change in their natural environment more easily. The climate change problem for seals is directly linked to humans.When we take action to change what we let out into the environment, we will make positive changes for the seals.However, it is going to take a v

A．The Importance of Protecting Seals B．Seals Adaptation to Climate Change C．How Climate Change Affects Seals D

40、．Why Are Seals Becoming Less and Less 解析：選C　標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容可知，本文主要講述了全球氣候變暖給海豹帶來的負面影響和正面影響，因此C項“氣候變化如何影響海豹”作本文標(biāo)題最佳。 B We spend a lot of time on our mobile devices these days and automakers have taken note, rolling out connected cars that make it easy to do nearly everything from your phone. “We all

41、 enjoy those kinds of experiences where you want something and by the push of a button everything gets taken care of for you.You dont have to go here and there and piece a bunch of things together by yourself，”said Jim Buczkowski, director of Ford electronics systems.He recently introduced FordPass,

42、 a mobile platform that lets car owners access services like finding and paying for a parking spot.“Heres the detail of what charges will be, and then I submit, and then I receive a QR photo allowing my entry to that parking location，”said he. At Buick, the OnStar RemoteLink app connects owners to

43、their cars no matter how far away they are.“This car in Detroit, I could start from here in New York.Or let us say I have the only key to it and my wife in Detroit needs to get in the car, I can unlock it for her from here，”said Stuart Fowle, manager of Buick communications. The feature, in fact, h

45、e as well for the connectivity experience，”explained Rob Peterson, marketing manager for Buick crossovers. But what does that connectivity mean for your privacy? It is important to have personal information to create that individualized, personalized experience, but certainly it will be a consumers

46、 option.For certain consumers, it may not even be an issue.There certainly is a factor where a younger consumer is much more comfortable giving up a lot more privacy and data than an older consumer is, and more likely than not, you are going to see a behavior similar to how they handle their persona

47、l privacy within the vehicle. Considering how capable our mobile devices have become, perhaps the only question left to answer is: “Whos driving？” 語篇解讀：由于移動設(shè)備的廣泛應(yīng)用，汽車制造商推出了車載移動設(shè)備。這使汽車所有者通過手機上的應(yīng)用程序就可與汽車本身取得聯(lián)系。 38．What do Jims words intend to prove?

D．The huge economic benefits FordPass creates. 解析：選C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“We all enjoy those kinds of experiences ...You dont have to go here and there and piece a bunch of things together by yourself”可知，Jim Buczkowski敘述了人們的客觀需求；再結(jié)合下文的“Heres the d

49、etail of what charges will be, and then I submit, and then I receive a QR photo allowing my entry to that parking location”可知，Jim Buczkowski繼而闡述了FordPass操作的細節(jié)，突出了其便利的特點。由此可推知，Jim Buczkowski所說的話是為了表明FordPass的便利性。 39．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “harnesses” in P

50、aragraph 4? A．Employ. B．Control. C．Replace. D．Prevent. 解析：選A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞下一句中的“Up to seven mobile devices can connect to it at any given time.”可推知，畫線詞所在句表示的是這一特點實際上利用了汽車的4G LTE連接功能。employ意為“運用，應(yīng)用”，符合語境。 40．What can we infer about the connectivity from the last but one paragraph? A．Older driver

51、s commonly go against it. B．Drivers should attach value to their privacy. C．It has become very popular with young drivers. D．Users may risk letting out their privacy information. 解析：選D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容，尤其是“It is important to have personal information to create that individualized, personalized e

52、xperience, but certainly it will be a consumers option.”和“There certainly is a factor where a younger consumer is much more comfortable giving up a lot more privacy and data”可知，使用這項連接服務(wù)的時候，要想獲得特制的、個性化的體驗，消費者需要提供個人信息。由此可推知，使用這項連接服務(wù)時，消費者有可能會泄露自己的私人信息。 C Everyone is familiar with white fat, which ser

53、ves as an energy warehouse.Many mammals also have brown fat, which has the unique ability to produce heat. Brown fat is sometimes mistaken for a type of gland(腺), which it resembles more than white fat.It varies in color from dark red to tan.When the animal is exposed to a cold environment, the col

54、or darkens.In contrast to white fat, brown fat has numerous nerves which provide sympathetic stimulation (刺激) to the fat cells. Brown fat is most noticeable in newborn animals, wrapped round the central organs to keep them warm.In human infants it occupies up to 5% of body weight, then declines gra

55、dually.Certain quantities of brown fat can be discovered in adult humans, especially when they are exposed to cold temperatures.Most of brown fat in adults is located in the lower neck. Exposure to cold leads to sympathetic stimulation of brown fat cell.As in white fat, sympathetic stimulation prom

56、otes hydrolysis (水解) of triglyceride (甘油三酸酯), with release of fatty acids.In contrast to other cells, including white fat cells, brown fat cells express UCP1, which gives the cells mitochondria (線粒體) an ability to produce heat rather than ATP.Within brown fat cells, most fatty acids are immediately

57、combined with oxygen in mitochondria and a large amount of heat is produced. There is only about 50g of brown fat in the neck region and it switches on and off throughout the day as its exposed to different temperatures or if you exercise or eat.But this capacity is much greater in young children c

58、ompared with adolescents and adults. The challenge is now to use the knowledge to find out what might switch on brown fat.If it is switched on, we can benefit from it.Brown fat produces lots of heat by burning calories.Unlike white fat, brown fat does not expand our ageing waistlines.And thats why

59、the race is on to find out more about brown fat, and how humans could use it to our advantage, though we would waste energy unnecessarily, and we would sweat a lot and forever be opening windows. 語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一種叫作“褐色脂肪”的組織在人身體的分布及對提供身體熱量所發(fā)揮的作用。 41．Which is the unique factor of brown fat produc

64、 lives to notice the world around us? I am as guilty as anyone of tuning out the world in this manner, especially when I am driving on Californias overcrowded streets.A short time ago, however, I witnessed an event that showed me how being wrapped up in my own little world has kept me from being fu

I was driving to a business appointment and, as usual, I was planning in my mind what I was going to say.I came to a very busy crossroads where the stoplight had just turned red.“All right，” I thought to myself, “I can beat the next light if I race a

66、head of the pack.” My mind and car were in auto pilot, ready to go when suddenly my trance was broken by an unforgettable sight.A young couple, both blind, were walking arminarm across this busy crossroads with cars whizzing by in every direction.The man was holding the hand of a little boy, while the woman was clutching a baby sling to her chest, obviously carrying a child.Each of them had a white cane extended, searching for clues to navigate them across
