【題目】 ExtinctionI Fear and Hope at the La Brea Tar Pits
November 10, 2016
Species extinctions happen routinely. And evolution can’t go ahead without them. Charles Darwin was the first to grasp that more adapted species appear as less-adapted species die out. But mass extinctions, which happen only rarely and wipe out large numbers of species regardless of how adapted they are, pose a different kind of challenge. Today, scientists have rung the alarm that a sixth mass extinction on planet Earth may be underway—this one caused by none other than us!
What better place to think about the role of extinction in the past, present, and future than the La Brea Tar Pits? How do the stories we tell about extinct animals and plants, and the museum exhibitions, images and films we use to remember them, shape science, laws, and policies to protect endangered species?
Join us for a lively conversation looking at endangered plants and animals, extinction, and the global consequences of mass extinction and come away inspired with new ideas and hopes for the future.
The discussion will include:
● Stewart Brand, environmental author, co-founder and president of The Long Now Foundation
● Dr. Emily Lindsey, Assistant Curator (h K) and Excavation Site Director of the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum
● Jon Christensen, environmental journalist, science writer and historian with UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles), co-founder of the Laboratory of Environmental Narrative Strategies (LENS)
● Ursula Heise, UCLA Professor of English, LENS co-founder and author of the new book Imagining Extinction: The Culrural Meanings of Endangered Species

【題目】 Over the next decade, technology will decimate more jobs in many professions.
Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does welding (焊接) will be less than $2 per hour, for example. That’s more affordable than the $25 per hour that a human welder earns today in America.
Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don’t need a driver in the driver’s seat. According to the American Trucking Associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers were employed in the United States in 2010, and 6. 8 million others were employed in other jobs relating to trucking activity. So roughly one of every 15 workers in the country is employed in the trucking business. We could be talking about millions of jobs disappearing in the early 2020s.
And then there is the “Gig Economy (零工經(jīng)濟)” that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. Uber has already done this to taxi drivers, and other technology companies are doing it to a wide range of jobs. A study by Intuit predicted that, by 2020, 40% of American workers will be self-employed, and that full-time jobs will be harder to find. We are talking about 60 million people in this category. The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can’t enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits.
The measures to be taken are to raise trade barriers. But closing the doors to foreign trade won’t bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss.
【1】The underlined word “decimate” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “______”.
A. make someone interested inB. equip someone for
C. wipe outD. bring back
【2】What will happen with technologies developing according to the text?
A. Robots will become smarter and smarter.
B. Uber’s labor cost will be lower and lower.
C. More and more truck drivers will be needed.
D. Taxi drivers can enjoy more health insurance.
【3】Which of the following is an advantage of a full-time job?
A. It may be flexible.
B. It may offer sick pay.
C. It is full of adventure.
D. It is always well-paid.
【4】Which of the following does the writer agree on?
A. Welcoming foreign trade.
B. Offering more part-time jobs.
C. Using fewer robots to stop job loss.
D. Developing more new technologies.
【5】What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To show technology advances in our daily life.
B. To prove technologies cause low incomes.
C. To introduce what the Gig Economy is.
D. To warn the Gig Economy is coming.

【題目】Dogs are likely to have complex emotions such as jealousy(嫉妒)and pride, according to a new scientific research.
Dogs feel very jealous when they find that they are unfairly treated. And they do not like seeing their owners being kind to other creatures, especially other dogs. They often react negatively(消極地)when their owners bring home new pets, the research found. “Dogs show a strong aversion to unfair treatment,” Dr. Friederike Range of the Vienna University said.
At first, people believed most animals lack(缺少)the “sense of self” , which is needed to experience so-called secondary emotions such as jealousy, embarrassment or guilt. These emotions are more complex than feelings such as anger or joy.
Besides dogs research, another research includes cows, horse, cats and sheep, and all the results have shown that animals are far more self-aware than we thought.
Dr Paul Morris, a psychologist at the University of Portsmouth who studies animal emotions, told The Sunday Times, “We are learning that dogs, horses, and perhaps many other species are far more emotionally complex than we ever realized. They can suffer simple forms of many emotions we once thought only primates (靈長類) could experience.”
In research among dog owners, Dr Morris found almost all of them reported jealous behavior by their pets. The dog often tried to keep their owner away from a new lover in the early days of a relationship.
Behavioral experts suggest that owners should keep a close relationship with the dog as usual when a new pet or child comes along in order to prevent jealous activity from the dog such as interruptions with barking.
【1】What is the new discovery about the relationship between dogs and human?
A. Dogs usually have more emotions than humans.
B. Dogs are often treated unfairly by humans.
C. Humans are angry about their dogs’ negative reactions.
D. Dogs feel unhappy when their owners show kindness to other creatures.
【2】What does the underlined word “aversion” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Internet B. Dislike
C. Concern D. Fear
【3】What does the “the sense of self” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. It is a complex feeling that belongs to humans.
B. It is a kind of ability to feel other people’s emotions.
C. It is a necessary awareness to feel some complex emotions.
D. It is a kind of emotion which is based on anger or joy.
【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the fourth and fifth paragraphs?
A. The research includes four kinds of animals.
B. Animals are more self-aware than humans.
C. Dogs experience more emotions than primates.
D. Animals are emotionally complex.
