A newspaper is Helsinki,Finland,recently published a cartoon of a baby with a mobile phone,telling his parents that his diaper （尿布）needed changing.But it’s hardly a joke.Helsinki is home to Nokia,the mobile-phone maker.It’s one of the most “mobile” cities in the world:About 92 percent of its households have at least one mobile phone.And the kids start young.

“A relatively normal age to get a mobile phone is now 7,”says Jan Virkki,marketing manager for a mobile-phone company.Among the second graders at the Kulosaari Elementary School,the most popular object of desire this year is not a Barbie or a Gameboy.It is a Nokia mobile phone with a picture of their own choice on the screen.

“One of the first things we discuss when school starts is the rules for mobile phones,”says Tiia Korppi,a teacher.Among the rules:You have to put it away out of sight.You cannot turn it on.You cannot send text messages to your friends,or playamusingtunes （令人发笑的曲调）in class,or call your parents or call for a pizza during history.

56.The author uses the newspaper cartoon to show that______.

If you dream of going someplace warm to escape the cold winter weather,a trip to a recently

discovered planet would certainly warm you right up.The planet,named OGLE-TR-56b,has temperatures of more than 3 000°F.“This is the hottest planet we know about,”says Dr.Dimitar Sasselov,a scientist who led the discovery team.“It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets （细沫）.” The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered scientists before.It is in the Milky Way （银河）but it is not in our solar （太阳的）system.The new planet movesarounda star much like our sun,however,Scientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method,called “transit technique”.They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star,causing the star’s light to dim （变暗）.Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away.“We believe the door has been opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth,”says Sasselov.

58.We can infer from the passage that______.

A.there is iron on the new planet

B.we could go to the new planet in winter

Elephants don’t forget—at least,female （雌性的）elephants don’t.Elephant fa milies are

matriarchal.And the social knowledge gained by the oldest females is the key to a family group’s survival （生存）,according to a study published in April by Karen McComb,a biologist at Sussex University in England.

http:// 或http://

Elephants announce their presence by making a deep,long sound,a practice referred to as contact calling （联络呼叫）.An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephant from outside thefamilygroup is nearby.A stranger can cause trouble,interrupting feeding or disturbing the young.So an elephant matriarch signals the family to gather around her;then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the unfamiliar caller.False alarms can disturb the group and take time and energy away from feeding,so survival may depend in part on getting it right.

Working with Cynthia Moss,who founded the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya 30 years ago,McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Amboseli elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old.She played recordings of contact calls to each family and found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamiliar calls.In fact,a group with a matriarch in her fifties was several thousand times more likely to form into a group upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call than when hearing a familiar call.However, families with younger matriarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call as compared with a familiar call.And they gathered together a

lot.Moreover,the social knowledge of older matriarchs translated into favourable results:Families with older matriarchs produced more baby elephants in each female-reproductive year.

This finding shows how difficult it is to protect the oldest members of elephant families.As elephants age,they continue to grow larger,as do their much wanted tusks （象牙）.So theolder —and wiser —a matriarch is,the greater the chance she will be killed.About 800,000 elephants have been killed by people in the past 20 years.

61.What does the underlined word “matriarch ” mean?

A.An old member of an elephant family.

B.A female head of an elephant family.

C.A wise elephant.

D.A large elephant.

62.When do elephants form into a group?

A.When they are feeding the young.

B.When they see a familiar elephant.

C.When they are giving birth to baby elephants.
