In the same century, in 1845, the beekeeping school of Luxembourg Gardens in Paris was started. At that time there were around 2,000 beehives(蜂箱) in the city. After that the numbers went down for some time, but beekeeping has become popular again recently. Now there are over 700 hives in Paris. Some of these hives are actually on the roofs (房顶) of famous Parisian buildings and hotels and restaurants.City bees make three to five times more honey than country bees. This may be because there are no pesticides(杀虫剂) in the parks and gardens in Paris. French beekeepers in the countryside lose up to 40 percent of their hives each year because of disease, pesticides, and other causes. However, beekeepers in the city lose less than five percent.“That's interesting,” you might be thinking, “but isn't there a lot of pollution in Paris?” In fact, pollution does not seem to influence the honey. Parisian honey was tested for 30 kinds of pollution and none were found.As for the taste, Parisian bees have many kinds of flowers and plants to choose from. In the countryside, however, there is usually only one type of plant. The flowers in Paris give the honey aspecial taste. But Parisian honey is quite expensive. One pound costs about USD 65.Beekeepers in Paris face some small problems. For example, if there are too many hives in one area, the bees might not have enough food. So beekeepers must work together and spread out their hives. Another problem is bees in restaurants. One beekeeper had to take his hives away from the roof of a restaurant after his bees started drinking from the flowers indoors. However, technology can be used to check on the hives, with cameras and microphones.Paris isn't the only city with beehives on its roofs these days. Berlin, Tokyo, London, Washington D.C., and San Francisco also have beehives. So, the next time you're in these cities, look around for some local honey.24.What do we know about beekeeping in Paris?A. It was popular in the late 1800s.B. It is done on the roofs of buildings.C. It has the same long history as Paris.D. It was a course in Parisian ancient schools.25.According to Paragraph 2, why do Parisian bees produce more honey than country bees?A. There are more flowers in Paris.B. Parisian bees are more able to stay alive.C. Parisian bees are taken good care of.D. More pesticides are used in Parisian parks.26.What is the advantage of Parisian honey?A. It is low in price.B. It is good in color.C. It is sticky and thick.D. It is safe and good to eat.27.What is one way beekeepers in Paris deal with their problems?A. By spreading beehives reasonably.B. By not putting flowers in restaurants.C. By controlling the total number of beehives.D. By storing enough food for bees beforehand.CLearning a second language is tough at any age. Now, in a new study, scientist have found out the exact age after which your chances of reaching fluency（流利）in a second language seem toplummet:10.The study published in the journal Cognition, found that it's "nearly impossible" for language learners to reach native-level（母语水平）fluency if they start learning a second language after age 10. "It turns out you're still learning fast," says study co-author Joshua Hartshorne. "It's just that you run out of time, because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 17 or 18 years old," People who start a few years after age 10 may still become quite good at a language, the authors say, but they are unlikely to become fluent.Kids may be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. Children's brains are more plastic than those of adults, meaning they're better able to adapt and respond to new information. Kids may also be more willing to try new things than adults are. Their comparatively new understanding of their native language may also be advantageous.These findings may seem discouraging, but it was inspiring for scientists to learn that the key period for fluent language learning might be longer than previously thought. Some scientists believed that the window begins to close shortly after birth, while others made it longer to very early childhood.For this study, the researchers created an online test promising to guess people's native language and home country based on their responses to English grammar questions. Almost 670,000 people took it, giving the researchers huge amounts of data from English speakers of many ages and backgrounds. Examining the responses and grammar mistakes allowed them to made unusually exact judgments about language learning.28.What does the underlined word "plummet" in paragraph 1 mean?A. Drop sharply.B. Increase greatly.C. Appear gradually.D. Double suddenly.29. What can we learn from the study?A. Adults tend to perform well in learning a second language.B. Children are at an advantage in acquiring a new language.C. All these new findings are quite discouraging for scientists.D. People have the same key periods for mastering a language.30. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?A. The purpose of the study.B. The findings of the study.C. The subject of the study.D. The process of the study.31. What's the best title of the text?A. Kids Are Better at Learning New LanguagesB. Adults Can't Learn a Second Language WellC. Better to Learn a New Language Before Age 10D. Never Say Die When Learning a New LanguageDPress your fingers into the back of your head, just above your neck. If you feel a small bony bump（突起）, you may find evidence of human evolution（进化）: it could be your body responding to common smart phone use in the 21st century.According to a recent study, published in Scientific Reports, more young people have bony bumps at the base of their skulls(颅骨）, right above the neck. Medical professionals call them enlarged external occipital protuberances（EEOPs，枕外隆突）.Australian health scientist David Shahar, the author of the study, told the BBC that he’s seen more and more patients with EEOPs over the past ten years. Together with other researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, they examined 1, 200 skull x-rays from people aged 18–30. They also measured the bumps and noted each person’s posture. They found that one in f our people had developed these growths. This led to their theory that smart phones are the cause.According to their research, looking down at our phones adds stress onto the top of our spines （脊柱）. To prevent damage to our spines, Shahar believes our bodies add fresh bony bump to help reduce the extra stress.In his report, Shahar said the results “highlighted the need” for prevention. In other words, we need to change our posture while using our phones.Many people think our bones are solid and unmoving once we reach adulthood. In reality, they are alive and covered with blood vessels（血管）, which allows them to develop in unique ways for each person.Aside from EEOPs, other noticeable recent changes in human bodies include shrinking jaws, narrower elbows and generally smaller skeletons. The human body is adapting to modern life, so who knows what people in the future might look like?32. What did the recent study find about EEOPs?A. They grow on one’s neck.B. They can lead to many health problems.C. They may stop growing when you reach 30.D. They occur among more and more young people.33. What is the main cause of EEOPs according to the researchers?A. Extra stress.B. Smart phone use.C. Aging bones.D. Gene problems.34. Which of the following would Shahar probably agree with?A. EEOPs are actually beneficial to our spines.B. EEOPs increase the stress on our spines.C. People’s bones develop in similar ways.D. People should exercise to improve their posture.35. What’s the writing purpose of the text?A. To persuade readers to protect their spines.B. To recommend some healthy habits of using phones.C. To show some recent changes in human bodies.D. To explain why human bodies develop EEOPs.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
