3、wn to Tasmania.As he writes in his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldnt help but wonder about his hometown back in India.

4、gram. He spent years searching for his hometown in the programs satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a towns central business district from a birds-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform

5、train station” and there it was. “And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain” and there it was.

His memory of his hometown.BAt the start of the 20th century, an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made predictions about life today.

10、nd increasing height were close to the mark. But he was wrong in one prediction: that everybody would walk 10 miles a day.Today, in Australia, most children on average fall 2,000 steps short of the physical activity they need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s, 40 per cent of children wal

11、ked to school, while in 2010, it was as low as 15 per cent.The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed for time, many with both parents working to pay for their house, often working hours not of their choosing, living in car-dependent neighborhoods with limited public tr

12、ansport.The other side of the coin is equally a deprivation: for health and well-being, as well as lost opportunities (机会) for children to get to know their local surroundings. And for parents there are lost opportunities to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day.Most parents will ha

13、ve eagerly asked their child about their day, only to meet with a “good”, quickly followed by “Im hungry”. This is also my experience as a mother. But somewhere over the daily walk more about my sons day comes out. I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits. This is the unexpected and rare

17、he can know her son better.CResearchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming gr

18、oups of chimps in Uganda, and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communica

19、tion where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.“Thats whats so amazing about chimp gestures,” she said. “Theyre the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.”Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from anoth

20、er animals call, the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said.Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a m

Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing”.“The vagueness of the gesture m

23、eanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions,” she said. “Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remain

27、选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need, head to the front, and choose the line that looks fastest.You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. 31 It turns out,

28、its just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. 32 Any small interruption a price check, a chatty customer can have downstream effects, holding up an entire

29、line.If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability: 33 So its not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking li

30、ne called a serpentine line and serve each person at the front with the next available register. 34 This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register wont unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down ev

31、eryone a little bit but speed up checkout overall. 35 It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores cant afford the space or manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.A. Why does this always seem to happen to you?B. So why dont most places encourage serpentine

32、 lines?C. Some of them may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.D. The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.E. How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?F. With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach.G. But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。Last year I d
