【解析】

考查句子翻译。

1考查固定短语和固定句式。固定句式the reason why…is that…“……的原因是……”;固定短语be likely to do“很可能”。结合句意可知主句为一般现在时,从句为现在完成时。故翻译为The reason why the theme park has been questioned by consumers is that there is likely to be a possibility of "double-labeling" in its some rules.

2考查固定短语和主谓一致。固定短语not only…but also…“不仅……而且……”;短语make sb.+形容词表示“让某人感觉……”,此处修饰人表示“令人精疲力竭的”应用-ed结尾形容词exhausted。结合句意应用一般现在时。主语为the sudden second child,谓语动词用第三人称单数。故翻译为Not only the burden of work and life, but also the sudden second child is what makes the today's younger generation feel exhausted.

3考查固定短语。固定短语moderate diet“适度饮食”;declining health“日益下降的身体状况”。故翻译为Moderate diet, less stay up late, more physical fitness can effectively improve the middle-aged declining health.

4考查固定短语。固定短语the college entrance examination “高考”;take great pains to do sth.“煞费苦心做某事”;apply for “申请”;respond sb. with “用……回应某人”。结合句意描述客观事实用一般现在时,主语均为复数名词,谓语动词用原形。故翻译为After the college entrance examination, many teachers and parents take great pains to instruct students which universities to apply for, but the students respond them with their stubbornness.

【题目】 Fireflies flash not just for mating (交配), but survival, a new study suggests. Scientists wanted to find out if there’s more to the lightning bug’s signature blinking glow (一闪一闪的亮光) than finding a mate. Some experts had assumed it was a glaring signal to predators (捕食者), like bats, that fireflies taste bad.

To test out whether the glow acted like that, researchers at Boise State University in Idaho put bats and fireflies in front of high-speed cameras. They published their results in Wednesday’s journal Science Advances.

The painstaking experiment required researchers to introduce western bats, which had never seen lightning bugs before, to the insects. Later, they hand-painted firefly bellies black, turning off their night lights but avoiding the holes the insects breathe through. When the bats first saw the unfamiliar lit-up fireflies, they acted excitedly and ate a lot of the bugs, only to get a bad taste in their mouths.“They shake their heads and spit and generally hate their caretakers for giving them such a rude meal,” said study author Jesse Barber, a Boise State biology professor and author of the study. After a few tries, the bats then avoided the glowing fireflies. Despite the popular misconception, bats aren’t blind, a study author noted.

Once the fireflies essentially taught bats that they taste bad, Barber and his colleagues introduced the darkened fireflies. About 40 percent of the painted ones were eaten, while none of the normal fireflies were eaten. Researchers also think the way lightning bugs fly signals what they are. To test that they put fireflies on fishing lines and the bats went after them, despite already knowing that fireflies don’t taste good. The results make sense and are valuable, said Nick Dowdy, a Purdue University researcher in Indiana, who was not involved in the study.

Scientists already knew that fireflies have distinctive flash patterns that tell others who they are and where they are. And some females prefer males that flash at higher rates, according to study co-author Marc Branham of University of Florida. Barber noted that even in their larval (幼虫) stage, the bugs glow and don’t get eaten. So he theorized that when it comes to evolution, fireflies’ glowing trait (特点) may have developed first as protection from predators and later became a mating signal.

So, Barber said, “Bats may have invented fireflies.”

【题目】It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes .They recycle their garbage because the care about the environment .They pay $5 for a caramel brulée latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.

It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions (性情), but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bem , by observing our own behavior .We can be strangers to ourselves .If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes .Actually , we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.

Moreover, we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character—we infer characters that weren't there before .Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize .Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't .Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us .We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.

Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in compliance (符合) with their true desires .Therefore , we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
