However, mustangs are not native to the United States, they are descendants (后代) of Spanish horses.①__________Before the Spanish arrived, horses had been extinct (灭绝的) in the New World for about 12,000 years.‎ ‎     ②__________The word comes from the Spanish word mesteño, meaning “wild.” Mustangs are medium-sized horses. They measure around 56 inches to 60 inches (140 to 150 centimeters). They weigh around 800 pounds (360 kg).‎ ‎   These horses escaped from the Spanish soldiers. And they were also used by native people to fight against the Spanish army. ③__________Most of the mustangs that run free across the plains today are of mixed ancestry.‎ ‎    By the end of the 19th century, about two million mustangs ran across the countryside. Farmers began to complain. ④__________The mustang population decreased as farmers drove the horses away from the plains. Then, private conservation efforts to protect the mustangs began as early as 1925.‎ ‎    By 1970, fewer than 17,000 mustangs were left.  ⑤__________Now, it is estimated that more than 35,000 mustangs are living in the United States today.‎ A.

People who do well on IQ tests tend to be more successful in the classroom and the workplace. They also tend to live longer, healthier lives, and are less likely to experience negative life events.‎ ‎    ①__________ In a study, Ruth Karpinski and her colleagues carried out a study on the members of Mensa, a high IQ society. The study covered mood (情绪) disorders and anxiety disorders. Respondents were asked to report whether they had ever suffered from each disorder. The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensa’s highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders.‎ ‎    To explain their findings, Karpinski and his team bring up the hyper brain and hyper body theory. This theory holds that, for all of its advantages, being highly intelligent is associated with psychological and physiological “overexcitabilities”, or OE.②__________This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person. According to the theory, OEs are more common in highly intelligent people. A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining negative outcomes that simply wouldn’t occur to someone less intelligent.③__________‎ ‎    The results of this study must be interpreted cautiously. Showing that a disorder is more common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesn’t prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder.④__________All the same, the findings set the stage for research that promises to cast new light on the link between intelligence and health. One possibility is that associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy (基因多效性), which occurs when a gene (基因) influences seemingly unrelated characteristics.⑤__________In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by genetic factors.  From a practical standpoint, this research may lead to insights about how to improve people’s psychological and physical well-being.‎ A. Now there’s some bad news for those smart people.‎ B. There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case. ‎ C. It is an unusually strong reaction to an environmental threat or abuse.‎ D. Scientists did many researches to understand the reasons behind the advantages.‎ E. That may cause the body’s stress response, which may make the person even more anxious.‎ F. It’s also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ.‎ G. They found that the differences between the respondents were seen for mood and anxiety disorders.‎ ‎5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A city beneath the sea ‎    French underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio discovered the remains of Heracleion, a long-lost Egyptian city, beneath the waves of the  Mediterranean Sea in 2000. After more than a decade of research, he and his team are now presenting their discoveries to the world.‎ ‎    Heracleion was founded around the 8th century B.C.(800-700 B.C). Because Heracleion was located at the mouth of the Nile River, it was an important economic and trading centre.①__________.‎ ‎     “It was the major international trading port for Egypt at this time,” says Damian Robinson. He is the director of the Centre for Maritime Archaeology at the University of Oxford and working with Goddio's team.‎ ‎    ②__________. This, as well as a rising ocean and possibly even earthquakes, eventually caused the city to sink around 100 A.D.‎ ‎    The underwater site has proved rich in historical artifacts(人工制品).③__________.‎ ‎     “The archaeological evidence is simply amazing,” says Oxford University archaeologist Sir Barry Cunliffe.” By lying untouched and protected by sand on the seafloor for centuries, the artifacts are brilliantly preserved.”‎ ‎    ④__________. They have also found miniature Egyptian coffins that may have held animal mummies! Additionally, the remains of 64 ancient ships and more than 700 anchors lay buried in the sand around the ruins of the city.‎ ‎   But Goddio and his team have barely scratched the surface of Heracleion's remains. “   ⑤ __________.” says Goddio.” We will probably have to continue working for the next 200 years for it to be fully revealed and understood.”‎ A. The Greeks called it Heracleion.‎ B. We are just at the beginning of our research.‎ C. All trade from nearby Greece had to pass through Heracleion.‎ D. For many years, historians were not sure if this city ever existed.‎ E. But the ground on which Heracleion was built wore away over many centuries.‎ F. The researchers have uncovered numerous 15-foot-tall statues as well as hundreds of smaller artifacts.‎ G. In fact,because the city sank to the bottom of the ocean, many ancient pieces have remained undisturbed. ‎ ‎6 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎  After the popularity of the Ice Bucket Challenge, another challenge now is hot in India.
