8．…Will you go to the meeting for their discussion？
…No，______ invited．I don't feel like getting involved in their business．（　�。�
A．unlessB．untilC．even ifD．otherwise

分析 ---你會去開會和他們進行討論嗎？
---不，即使被邀請．我不喜歡參與他們的事．

解答 答案：C．根據(jù)I don't feel like getting involved in their business可知我不喜歡參與他們的事，因此前句表示即使被邀請，兩句之間是讓步關系，所以答案是C even if"即使"．其他選項的含義分別是A"除非"；B"直到"；D"否則"．

點評 考查從屬連詞．
even if一般引導的是把握不大或假設的事情，

18．Grasshoppers are having to change their song-one of the iconic sounds of summer-to make themselves heard above the noise of road traffic，ecologists have discovered．The study，published in the British Ecological Society's journal Functional Ecology，is the first to show that human-made noise affects natural insect populations．Animals use sound to communicate for many reasons，including marking out territory，warning of predators and finding mates，and although previous research shows birds，whales and even frogs change their calls in noisy environments，the impact of human-made noise on insects has been neglected until now．Ulrike Lampe and colleagues from the University of Bielefeld in Germany caught 188 male bow-winged grasshoppers，half from quiet locations and half from beside busy roads．The grasshoppers use their song to attract mates．
     The team then studied the differences in the two groups'songs in the laboratory．To encourage them to sing they exposed the males to a female grasshopper，and then recorded their courtship songs．Analysis of almost 1，000 recordings revealed grasshoppers living beside noisy roads produced different songs to those living in quieter locations．
     According to Lampe："Bow-winged grasshoppers produce songs that include low and high frequency components．We found that grasshoppers from noisy habitats increase the volume of the lower-frequency part of their song，which makes sense since road noise can mask signals in this part of the frequency spectrum（頻譜）．"
     The team's findings are important because traffic noise could be upsetting the grasshopper's mating system（交配系統(tǒng)）．"Increased noise levels could affect grasshopper courtship in several ways．It could prevent females from hearing male courtship songs properly，prevent females from recognising males of their own species，or impair females'ability to estimate how attractive a male is from his song，"Lampe explains．
     Having discovered that human-made noise affects insect communication，the researchers now want to learn more about how the mechanism works，and whether the grasshoppers adapt to noise during their development as larvae（幼蟲），or whether males from noisy habitats produce different songs due to genetic differences．
     The bow-winged grasshopper is a common species in Central Europe．Adults occur mainly between July and September，preferring dry grasslands．Around 1.5 cm long，they vary in colour from green and browns to red and purple．The male's song consists of 2 second-long phrases that increase in amplitude （振幅） towards the end．The beginning of a phrase is characterised by slower ticking sounds that increase in speed and amplitude，leading to a buzzing sound towards the end of the phrase．A courtship song usually includes 2 phrases．
63．The author wrote the article toC．
A．introduce how grasshoppers make noises to attract mates．
B．raise the awareness of protecting bow-winged grasshoppers．
C．inform us of a recent discovery of ecological research．
D．warn us that human-made noise has changed ecological system．

A．Bow-winged grasshoppers use their songs to communicate．
B．Grasshoppers change their songs to adapt to the noisy environment．
C．Grasshoppers'songs include both low and high frequency components．
D．Bow-winged grasshoppers are a common species in Central Europe．
65．What does the underlined word"impair"in the fourth paragraph mean？C
A．repair        B．develop        C．weaken         D．improve
66．Which of the following statements is true according the passage？A
A．Road noise can cover the lower-frequency part of their song．
B．Animals make sounds only for the purpose of finding mates．
C．Grasshopper larvae learn to adapt to human-made noise．
