“Just because a film has a cute clown fish or a singing mermaid or babY deer in it, doesn’t mean that there won't be murder,” saYs Ian Colman, a mental health epidemiologist at the University of Ottawa.
colman thought it’d be interesting to compare violence in films __37__ at kids and grown-ups,
after a colleague of his said that he may want to __38__ over the first five minutes of Finding
Nemo while watching with his kids, since it __39__ a “death scene,” he saYs.
So he and a few other researchers __40__ the 45 children’s movies of all time to the adult’s dramas and __41__ how many murders and violent acts took place.
theY skipped action movies because these “are often also marketed to, and viewed by, young children,” colman and colleagues wrote in the study. theY found that in children’s films __42__ those aimed toward adults, deaths amongst major characters were 2.5 times more __43__, and 2.8 times more likely to be murders, says Colman. Movie characters that were parents fared particularly badly.
But in this case, the findings do seem to have some real-world __44__. It may be best for parents to watch movies with their kids, so that if __45__ come up, they can be talked about, Colman says.

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
One out of every two people in the U.K. will be __36__ with cancer at some point in their lives,
according to new research published in the British Journal of Cancer on Wednesday.
other studies have __37__ that the u.k.’s cancer rates would __38__ that level at some point in the future, but the newest finding, from the
organization Cancer Research U.K., __39__ that that moment has already arrived for anyone born after the early 1960s. The new figure updates a previous figure published by the
organization, which pegged the U.K. cancer rate at more than one in every three people.
Researchers say this new, higher figure is partly due to advances that have __40__people to live longer.

“cancer is __41__ a disease of old age, with more than 60 percent of all cases diagnosed in people aged over 65. If people live long enough, then most will get cancer at some point. but there’s a lot we can do to make it less likely—like giving up
smoking, being more active, drinking less alcohol and __42__ a healthY weight,” peter Sasieni, a
professor at Queen Mary University of London and one of the paper’s authors, said in a press release. “if we want to reduce the risk of developing the disease, we must redouble our efforts and take action now to better __43__ the disease for future generations.”
These figures are not a major shock to anyone __44__ with the subject. Cancer rates in the U.S. are extremely similar. According to the latest publication of the American, the lifetime risk of developing cancer is __45__ less than one in every two for men, and higher than one in every three for women.

“how do You get out of an icelandic forest? You stand up.”
During five days spent in Iceland this fall, I heard locals tell this joke several times.
The quip once made __36__; Iceland was until
recently a tree-deprived land, hosting instead an __37__ of beautiful wide-open expanses, clad in volcanic rocks, glaciers and some grasses and shrubs. And while it still remains largely that way, trees and woodlands have been __38__ returning the past several decades, and an
Icelandic forestry industry is beginning to take root.
that’s due in large part to a warming climate, which is helping many new types of trees grow
here. Over the past 20 years, __39__ temperatures have __40__ by almost 2 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result, trees are __41__ faster and new varieties are now found here that couldn’t __42__ before. AdalsteinnSigurgeirsson, head of research for the Icelandic forest service, has heard the joke thousands of times. “[i] cringe everY time i hear it,”

he says. Sigurgeirsson picks me up on recent Monday morning in Reykjavik in his black

He smiles and nods at the deluge outside. “welcome to iceland!” the rain is usuallY __44__, he assures me, and it __45__ enough water for tree growth over much of the island—one reason he is so upbeat about forestrY’s prospects here. 注意：此部分题请在答题卡2上作答。

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
For a while, biologist ArjanBoonman lived in
Indonesia and spent much of his time traveling the country to make __36__ recordings of bats.
“there’s a lot of deforestation there, and lots of bats are __37__ going to go extinct,” saYs boonman,
欧阳化创编 2021..02.12
欧阳化创编 2021..02.12
now a postdoctoral researcher at Tel Aviv
University in Israel. __38__ by the bats, he decided to gather as much information as __39__ about the various species in indonesia, before theY’re gone. One day Boonman sat down on a bus next to a friendlY man, who told him he’d heard a species __40__cave nectar bats making a clicking sound with their wings, perhaps using it to
echolocate. Echolocation is the process whereby bats and other animals bounce sound off their surroundings to help them navigate, especially in the dark. Boonman was __41__.
Bat biologists, including Boonman, pretty much all assumed that bats only echolocate __42__, by making sounds in their larynx. It was also generally thought that the vast majority of species in this family, known as Old World fruits bats, didn’t echolocate at all, saYs bat expert Nancy Simmons, the curator-in-charge at the
department of mammalogY at new York’s american Museum of Natural History.
Yovel convinced Boonman that it was a story
worth looking into, and together they and a third scientist went to Thailand to record several
different unrelated species of fruit bats (one of the better travel excuses out there). They found that several species of bats did __43__ make clicking sounds with their wings, increasing the
欧阳化创编 2021..02.12
欧阳化创编 2021..02.12
frequency of these clicks more than fivefold when they turned out the lights.
This and other experiments led them to __44__ that the bats use these wing clicks to find their way around, and the clicking appears to function as a primitive form of echolocation, says Simmons, who wasn’t involved in the study, which was __45__ in the journal Current Biology. 注意：此部分题请在答题卡2上作答。

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
According to a study __36__ this week in the journal Ecology Letters, the __37__ of birds in Europe has __38__ by more than 20 percent in the past 30 years. While there were over 2.1 billion European birds in 1980, there are now around 1.6 billion, says study co-author Rich Inger, an
ecologist at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom.
欧阳化创编 2021..02.12
欧阳化创编 2021..02.12
Most of the decline—or 90 percent—is __39__ for by a shrinking population in the 36 most common species, Inger tells Newsweek.
For example, throughout the continent there are now 62 percent fewer house sparrows (家雀)than there were when Margaret Thatcher became prime minister, a decline of about 150 million animals, he says.
There were also drops in the numbers of such __40__ species as skylarks, grey partridges and starlings.
The decline is likely due in part to habitat loss and pesticide use. The amount of land used for agriculture in Europe has __41__ increased since 1980, and there are fewer places for birds to nest and find food, Inger says. At the same time,
pesticide use has gone up, __42__ down the number of “pests” like insects that birds preY upon, he adds.
“we don’t manage the environment in a waY that’s good for birds,” inger saYs.
The study looked at an __44__ amount of data
collected bY thousands of “citizen scientists” over 30 years in most countries in europe, in “an __44__ departure from conventional approaches to reviewing bird monitoring data,” said Michael

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Although many will vow to lose weight in the coming year, most will __36__ fail, not from lack of motivation or knowledge but from insuperable forces that undermine the best of intentions. Until now, those who undermine these intentions have been free to do whatever they can to trip up would-be weight watchers. No matter how extensive their efforts, the blame and
responsibility has been __37__ on those who fail. A similar situation existed 200 years ago, when Americans drank more than twice as much alcohol as they do now and large portions of the

Employers often paid workers with alcohol as part of their wages. It was served to children, it was __39__ as medicine, and it was provided to voters in political campaigning. However, when
more and more families lost their breadwinners to alcohol-related problems, and business owners realized how much money they were losing due to employees who were drunk on the job and not performing, policies were __40__ that made alcohol less __41__ and less acceptable.
Businessmen subsidized alcohol-free taverns so workers could socialize without being __42__ to drink. Bar owners began to be held responsible for the negative consequences of serving too much alcohol, even requiring them to provide for the widows of patrons who died from alcohol
purchased at their establishments—policies that still exist today through dramshop liability. Yet today, instead of instituting policies that would standardize portion sizes so people aren’t __43__ served too much, and policies that __44__ the placement of candy at the cash register or discounts on junk food, individuals are still
expected to be able to __45__ all these cues that undermine long-term goals.

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
NASA has __36__ details about a test flight
for orion, a spacecraft the organization built “to take humans farther than theY’ve ever gone
before.” on december 4, Orion will __37__ from Cape Canaveral, Florida for a two-orbit, four-hour, 3,600-mile flight meant to test the craft for
safety systems, particularly high-speed re-entry systems, as the craft will return to Earth traveling at 20,000 miles per hour at a
temperature over 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Nobody will be on board for the test.
the flight has been dubbed “exploration flight Test-1” and will mark the farthest distance from the Earth that a spacecraft __38__ to carry a crew has traveled in over 40 years, NASA said. By __39__, the International Space Station is
欧阳化创编 2021..02.12

only about 240 miles up from the ground. It will cost $375 million.
For future flights, Orion will lift off using an__40__ new heavy-lift rocket system, Space Launch System (SLS), which was designed to send humans into deep space. The first SLS test is set
for 2018 and will include an orbit around the moon, which may become a manned flight. SLS is designed to allow the first visit by humans to an asteroid and, __41__, to Mars.
“this is Just the first of what will be a long line of exploration missions beyond low Earth orbit, and in a few years we will be sending our astronauts to destinations humans have never
experienced,” said Bill Hill, deputy associate administrator for Exploration Systems
development, in a statement. “it’s __42__ to be a part of the JourneY now, at the beginning.”
While NASA has big plans for Orion, manned
missions are not planned till after 2020, so a Mars __43__ may not be possible until the later 2020s or 2030s. Though 3,600 miles is the longest trip in quite some time, Mars is an__44__ 140 million miles away, and much work is needed to ensure the craft can be safe and __45__ enough for a crew to make that extremely long space journey. 注意：此部分题请在答题卡2上作答。

You maY have noticed an “i’m a voter” app sitting on top of your Facebook news feed yesterday and may have thought it was another form of

satisfaction. but there’s more to it than that. Back in 2010, Facebook, along with a group of political scientists, __37__ an experiment.
They planted the following in the news feeds of tens of millions of users: a graphic containing a link to look up polling places, a button to
announce you had voted and six profile pictures of friends who had already indicated they had voted. Other users were shown a generic message about voting or nothing at all. The researchers then cross-referenced each user’s name with that daY’s voting records and crunched the numbers.

欧阳化创编 2021..02.12
It turns out users who were given the option of letting their friends know that they had voted were 0.39 percent more __38__ to vote than those who were shown nothing. The researchers also found that the behavior was __39__: People were __40__ by seeing that their close friends had voted. it was like a virtual version of the old “i voted” button: part brag, part guilt trip. According to the new republic, “the researchers concluded that their Facebook graphic directly mobilized 60,000 voters, and, thanks to the ripple effect, __41__ caused an additional 340,000 votes to be cast that daY.”
The researchers noted that the 2000 election was decided by 537 voters in Florida, making it clear that Facebook has the __42__ to influence elections.
this Year, facebook__43__ the “i’m a voter” app to all adults in the United States. With the U.S. adult population somewhere around 242.4 million, some 138.2 million voting-age Americans were 0.39 percent more likely to vote because they had
seen the app. This means about 539,000 voters may have been __44__ influenced by Facebook to cast ballots in these midterm elections.
while manY are calling the voter turnout “dismal” this year, without Facebook, it could have been __45__.

SpaceShipTwo's rotating tail boom, a key safety feature for re-entering the atmosphere, rotated early, Christopher Hart, acting chairman of the NTSB, said late on Sunday, though he said it was too __40__ to say whether this had __41__ the crash.
Hart told a news conference that investigators had __42__ the \"feathering\" system, which helps it descend into the atmosphere from space, should have been __43__ when the vehicle was traveling about 1.4 times the speed of sound.
