The town of Green Bank, West Virginia, is the site of the largest radio telescope in the world, so Internet connections and anything else that can create electromagnetic(电磁的) waves, such as smart phones and microwave ovens, are banned.

Green Bank is frozen in time, somewhere in the 1950s, because there’s a 33,000-square-kilometer zone of silence due to the telescope. Cell phone towers are forbidden.

The closer you get to the telescope, the greater the restrictions. There’s a 16-kilometer radius(半径) around the observatory where radio-controlled items, even toys, cannot be used.

Telescope employees even work in a special room that blocks electromagnetic waves from leaving it. “Here imagine a submarine(潜艇), water cannot get inside, and so this room is an electric submarine. No electromagnetic waves can get into this room, just as you can’t go beyond it,” Michael Holstein, an observatory officer, said.

The size of a football field, the telescope is so sensitive that it could pick up signals sent from an alien world. And scientists can’t wait for that to happen.

“All the signals that we now receive with the help of telescopes are signals that e from cosmic objects — stars, galaxies. We have not yet received anything from intelligent civilizations,” scientist Richard Lynch said.

Local people respect the work of the scientists. “Yes, we are different. Many would say that we live the old-fashioned way, in the past. But for us, it’s just the way of life that we have always lived,” Sherry said.

“When we want to meet friends, we just call each other on a wire phone. And instead of sitting in front of your screen, we talk, we go fishing, to the mountains,” resident Sherry said.

For the latest news, residents read the weekly local newspaper. When she’s looking for a

phone number, Sherry reaches for the phone book.

And instead of Facebook, Sherry enjoys daily conversations with her customers. In this town, everyone knows each other and munication is face to face. 28. Why do people in Green Bank live an old-fashioned life?

A. The town is economically less developed.

B. Electronic products will affect the radio telescope. C. They have got used to it and don’t want to change.

D. The radio telescope stops electronic products working properly. 29. What can we learn about the radio telescope?

A. It was set up about in the 1950s. B. It is in a room without electromagnet. C. It is 16-kilometer in radius.

D. It has picked up signals from aliens. 30. How do the local people feel about their life?

A. Inspired. B. Unhappy. C. Content. D. Worried. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. High tech with traditional life at Green Bank

B. Radio telescope to receive alien signals C. The largest radio telescope in the world D. Old-fashioned life at Green Bank

D

Over millions of years, penguins（企鹅）have developed a keen sense of where to find food. Once they’re old enough, they set off from the shores on which they were hatched for the first time and swim long distances in search of tasty fish like anchovies and sardines. But they don’t search directly for the fish themselves.

For example, when young African penguins head out to sea, they look for areas with low surface temperatures and high chlorophyll(叶绿素) because those conditions signal the presence of phytoplankton（浮游植物）. And lots of phytoplankton means lots of plankton（浮游动物）, which in turn means lots of their favorite fish. Well, that’s what it used to mean.

Climate change plus overfishing have made the penguin feeding grounds a mirage(海市蜃楼). The habitat is indeed plankton-rich—but now it’s fish-poor. Researchers call this an “ecological trap.”

“It’s a situation where you have a signal that previously pointed an animal towards good

quality habitat. That habitat’s been changed, usually by human pressures. The signal stays, but the quality in the environment deteriorates.”

Richard Sherley, a zoologist at the University of Exeter and his team used satellite imaging to track the African penguins from eight sites along southern Africa. Historically, the birds benefited from tons of fish off the coasts of Angola, Namibia and western South Africa, but now they’re going hungry.

“I was really hoping we’d see them going east, and finding areas where the fish had moved to but it ends up being quite a sad story for the penguins.” said Richard.

The researchers calculate that by falling into this ecological trap, African penguin populations on South Africa's Western Cape have declined by around 80 percent.

Some research groups are exploring the idea of moving chicks to a place where they can’t get trapped, like the Eastern Cape. But Sherley thinks that a longer-term solution means making and carrying out rules to create more sustainable(可持续的) fishing industry, something that he says needs public support. 32. How do penguins find their food?

A. They discover fish with their keen sense. B. They swim long distances directly for fish. C. They make signals to each other when finding fish. D. They look for warmer and greener areas.

33. What is an ecological trap for the African penguins? A. A trap set to catch penguins. B. A good fish habitat with few fish. C. A habitat unsuitable for fish. D. A mirage on the sea.

34. What does the underlined word “deteriorates” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Get worse. B. Get better. C. Stay the same. D. Bee suitable. 35. What can be done to help the penguins in the long run? A. Move the penguins to other places. B. Create nature reserves for penguins. C. Keep a balanced fishing industry. D. Increase the population of penguins. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

If you’ve been in a bad relationship, it should let you appreciate the ones who are still there for you. 40 If you start to be shut off with others, it develops more bitterness, loneliness, along with possible depression.
