The wrld will t have t start thinking seriusly t save its cral reefs.Crals are cmeback creatures.As the sea levels rse and fell ver 30，000 years,Australia's Great Barrier Reef,rughly the size f Italy,died and revived five times.But nw,thanks t human activity,crals face the mst cmplex cnditins they have yet had t deal with.
Accrding t the Intergvernmental Panel n Climate Change,a rise in glbal temperature f1.5℃ abve pre-industrial level culd cause cral reefs t decline by 70-90%.The planet is abut 1℃ htter than in the 19th century and its seas are becming warmer,strmier and mre acidic.This is already affecting relatins between crals and the single-celled algae（海藻） with which they live tgether,and which give them their clur.When waters becme unusually warm,crals push the algae ut,leaving reefs a ghstly white,which is happening five times as ften as it did in the 1970s.
Meanwhile the changing chemistry f the ceans lwers the abundance f carbnate ins（碳酸盐离子），making it harder fr crals t frm their skeletns（骨骼）.
If crals g,divers and cean bilgists are nt the nly peple wh will miss them.Reefs take up nly ne percent f the sea flr,but supprt a quarter f the planet's fish diversity.The fish that reefs shelter are especially valuable t their prest human neighburs,many f whm depend n them as a surce f prtein.In the Cral Triangle,an area f water stretching acrss Suth-East Asia and int the Pacific which is hme t three-quarters f knwn cral species,mre than 130 millin peple rely n reefs fr fd and fr their livelihds in fishing and turism.

Frm teenage t adulthd, yu g thrugh a basket f changes—graduatin, jbs and relatinships that cme and g. But as yu grw lder, des yur persnality change?
Peple tend t think f persnality as fixed. But that is nt hw it wrks. "Persnality is a develpmental phenmenn instead f smething that yu're stuck with and can't get ver," said Brent Rberts, a psychlgist at the University f Illinis.
Rberts and ther researchers have surveyed the persnalities f participants regularly ver many years, shwing that ur persnality is actually stable within each decade f life. Yu dn't ntice it n a 1-t-5-yeartime range, but in the lng term, it becmes prnunced(显著的).
In 1960, psychlgists surveyed ver 440, 000 high schl students wh answered questins abut everything frm hw they reacted t emtinal situatins t hw efficiently they gt wrk dne. Fifty years later, researchers tracked dwn 1, 952 f these students and gave them the same survey. The results fund that in their 60s, participants scred much higher than they did as teenagers n questins measuring calmness, self-cnfidence, leadership and scial sensitivity(敏感度).
Over again, studies have fund similar results. Persnality tends t get better ver time. Psychlgists name it "the maturity principle(成熟定律)". Peple becme mre extrverted(外向), emtinally stable, agreeable and gentle as they grw lder. In general, "the maturity principle" applies t mst peple.
S what causes the change? Evidence suggests it's nt dramatic life events, such as marriage, the birth f a child r lss f a lved ne. Instead, changing expectatins placed n us—as we adjust t university, the wrk frce, starting a family—slwly wear us in, almst like a pair f shes, Rberts said. "Over time, yu are asked t d things differently and thus learn hw t behave in these situatins." S we adapt.
12. What has Rberts fund abut persnality accrding t the passage?
A. It is a stable phenmenn.
B. It changes n a daily basis.
C. It is a fixed pattern f thughts.
D. It develps gradually as we age.
13. Hw did the psychlgists carry ut their research accrding t Paragraph 4?
A. By classifying the facts.B. By making cmparisns.
C. By giving varius examples.D. By quting previus researches.
14. Which f the fllwing might "the maturity principle" bring abut?
A. An apprachable and stable character.
B. A calm and self-centered persnality.
C. A successful and extrardinary career.
D. An unusual and emtinal sensitivity.
15. Why des ur persnality change accrding t the last paragraph?
A. We have t much wrk t d.
B. Dramatic life events have happened t us.
C. We gradually adapt t different life situatins.
D. It is stressful t behave urselves in adulthd.
Have yu ever had truble sleeping in a new place？ (1) And nw researchers frm Brwn University in Rhde Island think they knw why.They fund that ne-half f the brain "remains mre awake" than the ther half when peple are trying t sleep in a new place.
The researchers said this appears a case f the brain keeping peple ready fr truble in a new place.Many peple reprt they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a htel r ther places utside their hme. (2) "In Japan,they say, 'if yu change yur pillw,yu can't sleep in a new place.'" said Yuka Sasaki,ne f the reprt's authrs.The researchers measured brain waves fr 35 vlunteers ver tw nights in a labratry. (3)
They fund during the first night the left hemisphere（半球） f the brain was mre active than the right hemisphere.Sasaki said a lt f questins remain. (4) S,they dn't knw if the left hemisphere keeps "watch" all night.Or whether it "wrks in shifts" with the right hemisphere later in the night.They als d nt knw why the extra brain activity,at least during the first phase f deep sleep,is always n the left hemisphere.
(5) It is gd t knw that ur brain is "lking ut fr us," in a new place.But it may nt help with sleep.That extra brain activity,at least accrding t this new research,makes it harder t get the sleep peple need t wake up well-rested in the mrning.

C.The tw nights were a week apart.

16~20.【答案】A、D、C、F、E
【解析】（1）A.推理判断题。根据上文提出问题Have yu ever had truble sleeping in a new place？（你在一个新地方睡不好觉吗？） A项"Lts f peple d. （很多人都有。）"，A项是个省略句，意为"很多人到一个新的地方，都会睡不着"，A项与上文语意衔接连贯。故选A项。
（2）D.推理判断题。根据上文Many peple reprt they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a htel r ther places utside their hme. （许多人报告说他们在酒店或家庭以外的其他地方时，第一个晚上比较难入睡）提出一个普遍现象，即许多人说他们在酒店或家庭以外的其他地方时，第一个晚上比较难入睡，D项"They call it the ‘first-night effect'. （他们称之为‘第一夜效应'）"，D项对上文的这一现象进行了定义，承接上文，语意衔接连贯。故选D项。
（3）C.归纳总结题。根据上文The researchers measured brain waves fr 35 vlunteers ver tw nights in a labratry. （研究人员在一个实验室里测量了35名志愿者两个晚上的脑电波）下一段They fund during the first night the left hemisphere （半球） f the brain was mre active than the right hemisphere. （他们发现，在第一个晚上，大脑的左半球比右半球更活跃。）此处仍在继续说实验内容，故设空处内容也应该与实验内容有关，C项"The tw nights were a week apart.（这两晚上时间相隔一个星期）"符合，描述了实验内容，解释了上文"ver tw nights"，故选C项。
（4）F.推理判断题。根据上文Sasaki said a lt f questins remain. （Sasaki说其实这个实验仍存在很多问题）所以推断，后文要具体陈述这个问题的内容。F项"Researchers did nt keep measuring brain waves all night lng. （研究人员并没有整夜不断地测量测试对象的脑电波）"符合，说明了产生问题的其中一个原因。下文"S,they dn't knw if the left hemisphere keeps ‘watch' all night.Or whether it ‘wrks in shifts' with the right hemisphere later in the night. （所以，他们不知道左脑是否整晚保持‘警惕'状态，或者它是否在夜间与右脑‘轮班'工作。）"，F项中提及的"没有整夜进行测量"，产生了下文的结果，与下文为因果关系。故选F项。
（5）E.段落大意题。设空处在段首。这篇文章结构为总分总，中间两段为研究的具体内容，所以最后一段是对全文的总结，也是文章开头提出问题的呼应，文章第一段指出人们对于为什么换地方睡不着感到很疑问，结合下文It is gd t knw that ur brain is ‘lking ut fr us, （很高兴知道我们的大脑在‘照顾我们'）可知，空处应该是描写人们在知道为什么换地方睡不着后的内心变化，即从刚开始的疑问到现在变成了"平静（calming）所以E选项"Fr sme,this research may be calming. （对一些人来说，这项研究可能会使人平静）"符合。故选E项。
本文为一篇说明文。很多人换个地方就睡不踏实，尤其是第一晚时，罗德岛布朗大学的研究人员对"第一晚现象"进行了研究，查明了其中缘由，但这个实验依旧也存在一些问题。

【解析】1.
句意：据说化石遗骸大约存在于3600万年前。sb./sth.is believed t d据信，某人/物会……，不定式作主语补足语，故填t be。
2. 句意：研究人员说，这一发现表明，这种动物生活在曾经覆盖秘鲁南部奥库卡耶沙漠的海洋中。此处使用非谓语动词作后置定语，cean与cver之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，用现在分词表主动，故填cvering。
3.
句意：科学家们报告说，这具遗骸去年出土时状况良好。此处为when引导的省略句，即when引导的时间状语从句和主句主语是同一主语时，从句可以省略主语和系动词，所以从句省略了the skull和was，且skull与dig up之间是被动关系，所以此处用过去分词dug，故填dug。
4.
句意：秘鲁国立圣马科斯大学古生物学主任鲁道夫•萨拉斯说，它有一排又长又尖的牙齿。a series f 后接可数名词复数，故填teeth。

7.
句意：萨拉斯称这种动物为“海洋怪物”，可能属于巴西龙的一个新物种。固定短语belng t属于，故填t。
8.
修饰动词d用副词，surely意为“肯定”，故填surely。
9.
句意：萨拉斯解释说，当古巴西龙灭绝时，它的遗骸很可能沉入海底，很快被掩埋并保留下来。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为the bttm f the cean，且定语从句缺少地点状语，应用关系副词where来引导定语从句，故填where。
10.
句意：萨拉斯说：“在这个时代，奥库卡耶的化石形成条件非常好。”根据句意，此处特指奥库卡耶的化石形成条件，故填the。

解题方法点拨
（1）品读原文，确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
