客观地说,北外d考场设施狂赞,很新的电脑和耳机,隔音效果一般,但干扰还可以忍受。年轻的监考mm比较nice~但是邻座的gg让我很无奈,这厮居然有出声阅读的恶习,本来第一篇阅读就很bt,加之刚开考,精神状态不佳,再加之其念念有词,我的自信被彻底击溃,半蒙半做过了section 1,此后才进入状态。

Termites are not a kind of ants(出题),因为它们的兵蚁是雌雄都有,蚁后有个终身的mate伴侣,而蚂蚁的兵蚁只有未发育好的雌蚁,蚁后交配后不再有mate。Termites 的发育经历了egg, T(出题)and adult三个阶段,蚂蚁则经历egg, lava, pupa and adult 四个阶段。They are able to build nests which have uniform temperature, enough humidity and good ventilation. Nests are designed to be humid to keep their body from drying out(出题).
1 ?) W( Z  k. F+ t- V* f! ~举了一个tropical termites called M,建的nest非常好,中心有厚厚的wall,有白蚁的分泌物和泥土混合而建成(出题),还养着fugai,可以帮助提高nest的温度和湿度(出题)。nest的周围有thin wall,其base的直径可以达到其高度(出题)。4 N* l# E& T$ ^  Y) u
但是这么严实的窝怎么通风还这么好?因为养fugai的core的下面是cellular,空的,上面是attic,也是空的,所以空气从底下进来,经过fugai的core后升至attic,氧气少了,二氧化碳多了(出题)。插入的句子在"the answer lies in the core of fugai"之前。

然后开始说Darwin的分类:fring reefs, barrier reefs and atoll reefs. 三种reefs按照该顺序演变,corals 先在下沉的岛屿边缘建reef, 随着时间的演变,越建越高,以至围成了一个lagoon(出题),成了atoll reefs(环状珊瑚岛)。举了一个pacific的reef. 科学家drill a hole 至海洋深处,才找到原先下沉的岛屿的痕迹。为什么举这个例子?作为Darwin假说的evidence.(出题)

lecture: 4 billion yrs ago 形成的 crater 早就因为地球的 constant moving and mounting 而消失;collision 产生的heat boil the water in the rocks, 所以月球本应该是dry; 地球表面的密度小于中心密度,作为从地球表面分出去的月球,密度当然比地球的平均密度小。( B  z  J$ I$ |6 v
