第二部分阅读理解（共两节, 满分29分）

第一节（共12 小题；每小题 2 分, 满分24 分）

A

What do literary tourists look for when they visit the British Isles? Often it’s the charmingly old-fashioned bookshops that provide the perfect excuse to read uninterruptedly and to disconnect from the world. Until recently, the trend for fine coffee and high-speed Wi-Fi was considered by some in the city’s bookish crowd to be ruining London’s centuries-old tradition of disconnected reading.

But a crop of bookshops is fighting against crazy online engagement and is creating environments where the real-life, Internet-free book reading is the most effective way to expand your social and professional networks. Leading the fighting is Libreria Books, which is in the company of Tenderbooks, Buchhandlung Wakther, Lutyens&Rubinstein etc., all independent book shops without high-speed Wi-Fi and coffee.

Mr. Silva of Libreria was inspired to open his shop after experiencing a common suffering for London’s book-lovers—the repeated ring tones of smart phones ruining the peace of his bookshop experience. He wanted to get people reading without interruption. He said, “You can get Wi-Fi anywhere now, it’s not necessary in a bookshop.”

Their mantra(原则) has drawn a wise, brainy crowd. The bookshop should be an escape from an

information overload. “ If someone gets a phone call, they leave the shop. It’s the same with the Internet—people just know this isn’t the space for being on line.” said Tamsin Cl ark, owner of Tender books. And in face of the Internet overload, some stores are proving to be among London’s hottest places.

Mr. Silva said “an old-fashioned space” is clearly appealing to book lovers. He said his shop has had twice as many customers as expected, with visitors from as far as Australia and China. Faced with a bookshelf recommended by the Queen or surrounded by first editions, who wants to download a morning full of emails?

1. What would literary tourists like to find in an old-fashioned bookshop?

A. High-speed Wi-Fi.

B. Social networks.

C. Peaceful reading time.

D. Free coffee.

2. Why did Mr. Silva of Libreria decide to open his own bookshop?

A. He saw the trend of running bookshops.

B. He aimed at banning Wi-Fi in bookshops.

C. He had an unpleasant reading in a bookshop.

D. He was inspired by other bookshop owners.

3. What do London’s bookish crowd think of the Internet-free bookshops?

A. Attractive.

B. Outdated.

C. Fashionable.

D. Professional.

4. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?

A. You can still work efficiently.

B. People prefer reading to being connected.

C. Emails keep coming in all morning.

D. People have no access to downloading emails.

B

As PhD research goes, Brian Wisenden might be envied: watching baby fish swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the Costa Rican tropical dry forest. By recording their growth and numbers, he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten. Instead, he witnessed something strange. Many groups were increasing in numbers. In these groups, some were smaller than others, suggesting they weren’t sibling（兄弟姐妹）. Wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish, called convict cichids, adopt each other’s

babies. Why would they do that, he wondered?

In the human world, we think of adoption as a selfless act. But in nature, its presence is puzzling. Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animal’s chance of survival or at least provide no gain. Yet, adoption is surprisingly common in the natural world.

Take the eastern grey kangaroo. Between 2008 and 2013, Wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch（育儿袋）swapping. The circumstances behind some of these adoptions aren’t known, but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother had lost her own baby. How come? Before independence, baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mother’s pouch. Following out-of-pouch attempts, mothers normally sniff their young before allowing them back in, but Wisenden’s team suspect that during an emergency they may omit the sniff test, allowing a weak baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger.

Some of nature’s adoptions are, actually, driven by young. In burrower bugs （土蝽）, for example, females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs. Mother bugs tend their developing eggs before they hatch, and them feed their babies nuts form weedy mint plants. Finding nuts is a competitive business, so not every mother bug gets her fair share. And if the delivery rate isn’t up to the standard, clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better-fed group.

The consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be horrible. The true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned. But it can have remarkable benefits, not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.

5.What can we learn about Wisenden’s research about baby fish?

A. It was beyond his expectations.

B. It put many rare species at risk.

C. It showed a genetic similarity in fish.

D. It found a new way to protect forest.

6. What does the underlined word “omit” mean in the passage?

A. Confirm.

B. Repeat.

C. Adopt.

D. Skip.

7. Why would some burrower bugs abandon their mothers?

A. To live in warmer nests.

B. To reproduce themselves.

C. To seek for better parenting.

D. To adapt to competition earlier.

8. What may the author most probably talk about next?

A. The causes of accident adopting.

B. The processes of accidental adoption.

C. The drawbacks of accidental adoption.

D. The advantages of accidental adoption.
