2021年重点高中自主招生预录模拟英语试题(五校联考)

2021年重点高中自主招生预录模拟英语试题(五校联考)

五校联考英语试题(满分75分,考试时间50分钟)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共7小题;每小题2.5分,满分17.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

AThe traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue,Washington,generally don’t flash the same length of green twice in a row,especially at rush hour.At9:30am,the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be140seconds.By9:33am,a burst of additional traffic might push it to145seconds.Less traffic at9:37am could push it down to135.Just like the traffic itself,the timing of the signals changes.That is by design.Bellevue,a fast-growing city just east of Seattle,uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US:intersection(十字路口)signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions.These lights,known as adaptive signals,have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home.“Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed,”says Alex Stevanovic,a researcher at Florida Atlantic University.For all of Bellevue’s success,adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways.Kevin Balke,a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute,says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities,others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference.“It’s not going to fix everything,but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities,”he says.In Bellevue,the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches.In the past,there was often an automatic reaction to increased traffic:just widen the roads,says Mark Poch,the Bellevue Transportation Department’s traffic engineering manager. Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger.1.What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph2refer to?A.Increased length of green lights.B.Shortened traffic signal cycle.C.Smooth traffic flow on the road.D.Flexible timing of traffic signals.2.What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals?A.They work better on broad roads.B.They should be used in other cities.C.They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed.D.They have greatly reduced traffic on the road.3.What can we learn from Bellevue’s success?A.It is rewarding to try new things.B.The old methods still work today.C.It pays to put theory into practice.D.The simplest way is the best way.BAfter years of observing human nature,I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent.I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either.And I have never known an average man who had both.The two belong together.Together,these deep human urges(驱策力)count for much more than ambition.Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground.Like Galileo,all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent,“Why?Why?Why?”Fortunately,curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned.We are born with them and need only recapture them.“The great man,”said Mencius(孟子),“is he who does not lose his child’s heart.”Yet most of us do lose it.We stop asking questions.We stop challenging custom.We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average.It encourages us to occupy our own little corner,to avoid foolish leaps into the dark,to be satisfied.Most of us meet new people,and new ideas,with hesitation.But once having met and liked them,we think how terrible it would have been,had we missed the chance.We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.How should you start?Modestly,so as not to become discouraged.I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself.She was curious about how the experts did it.How she is one of the experts,writing books on flower arrangement.One way to begin is to answer your own excuses.You haven’t any special ability?Most people don’t;there are only a few geniuses.You haven’t any time?That’s good,because it’s always the people with no time who get things done.Harriet Stowe,mother of six,wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking.You’re too old?Remember that Thomas Costain was57when he published his first novel,and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was78.However you start,remember there is no better time to start than right now,for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.4.What does the example of Galileo tell us?A.Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.B.Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.C.Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.D.Creativity results from challenging authority.5.What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?A.Observe the unknown around you.B.Develop a questioning mind.C.Lead a life of adventure.D.Follow the fashion.6.What can we learn from Paragraphs6and7?A.Gaining success helps you become an expert.ck of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.C.The genius tends to get things done creatively.D.You should remain modest when approaching perfection.7.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Curious Minds Never Feel ContentedB.Reflections on Human NatureC.Never Too Late to LearnD.The Keys to Achievement第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)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。

Advertisement.BA struggling Waffle (华夫饼) House employee who was trying to serve nearly 30 people by himself after midnight got a full serving of kindness when some customers jumped behind the counter to help him.Ethan Crispo, 24, witnessed the inspiring scene in the early hours of Nov. 3 at a Waffle House in Birmingham, Alabama.Crispo told TODAY’s Kerry Sanders that he had come to the 24-hour restaurant from a friend’s birthday party and saw the struggling employee, identified only as Ben, trying to cook the food, serve it, set tables and wash dishes while more than 25 people were waiting to eat.“The look on his face was just confusion,” Crispo told Sanders.An unidentified male customer then decided to help him out, grabbing an apron and going behind the counter to wash dishes.Another customer, Alison Stanley, went behind the counter to make some coffee — still dressed from a night out on the town.“I don’t think it’s anything special,” Stanley told Sanders. “He needed help, so I got up and helped out.”Crispo took some photos of the scene as multiple customers worked to clear tables and wash dishes while Ben focused on taking orders and preparing the food.Waffle House told TODAY that Ben was left to support himself due to a scheduling issue.“We had two associates scheduled to leave. However, due to a communication mix-up, their relief did not show up on time,” Waffle House director of PR Pat Warner said in a statement. “That left Ben, our cook, al one in the restaurant with hungry customers. He worked the grill and got the orders out.”The company was also thankful for the customers who joined in and helped Ben out.“We are grateful that many of our customers feel like they are part of our Waffle House family,” Warner said. “There is a sense of community in each and every one of our restaurants, and we appreciate the fact that they consider our associates like family.”“We are also very thankful for Ben, who kept the restaurant open. He is a represen tative of our Waffle House culture by always putting the customers first.”Crispo had his usual order, double plain waffle, as he took in the scene of strangers helping out Ben on his shift.“Humanity truly isn’t good —it’s great!” he said.24. Ben was left to work alone during his midnight shift because ________.A. his associates asked for a leaveB. there was a scheduling mistakeC. few customers needed to be servedD. the restaurant was scheduled to close25. Some customers helped Ben out by ________.A. washing dishesB. taking photosC. taking ordersD. cooking food26. Why did the customers lend a helping hand according to Pat Warner?A. They shared the same community spirit.B. They were family members of Ben.C. They wanted to serve themselves.D. They were too hungry to wait.27. How did Crispo feel as a witness of the scene?A. Lucky and excited.B. Moved and inspired.C. Relieved and hopeful.D. Content and unbelievable.CIt’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at viewers, following them with her eyes no matter where they are in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle of 15.4°off to the viewer’s right — well outside the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.”This is ironic (讽刺), because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect”, which is absolutely real. If a person isillustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him.To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers gathered 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected (相交) Mona Lisa’s gaze. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the “Mona Lisa” portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.28. It is generally believed that the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa” ________.A. attracts the viewers to look backB. seems mysterious because of her eyesC. fixes her eyes on the back of the viewersD. looks at observers wherever they stand29. What did the new study find?A. The Mona Lisa effect does not really exist.B. The mystery of the woman’s smile in the painting.C. The angle of the gaze in Mona Lisa effect.D. Mona Lisa effect does not occur with Mona Lisa.30. The experiment involving 24 people was conducted to ________.A. confirm Horstmann’s beliefB. create artificial-intelligence avatarsC. calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gazeD. show how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied31. What can we learn from the passage?A. Horstmann thinks it cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgement.DIt’s almost spring, the time of year when the change in seasons could lead to some pretty fascinating cloud activity in the sky. NASA and the GLOBE Program are inviting you to take part in a citizen sciencecloud observation challenge.The GLOBE Program is an international science and education program providing the public with the opportunity to participate in the scientific process. From March 15 through April 15, citizen scientists can make up to 10 cloud observations per day using the GLOBE Observer app or one of the other data entry options (for trained GLOBE members). Challenge participants with the most observations will be c ongratulated by a NASA scientist in a video posted on the GLOBE Program’s website and social media.“The GLOBE Program is offering this challenge to show how important it is to NASA to have citizen scientist observations from ground up,” said Marile Colon Robles, lead for the GLOBE Clouds team at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.Researchers use and value this citizen science cloud data because it helps confirm data from Earth-observing instruments.Scientists at Langley work with a set of six instruments known as the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES). Even though C ERES’ instruments use advanced technology, it is not always easy for researchers to positively identify all types of clouds in their images.For example, it can be difficult to tell thin, wispy cirrus clouds (细小的卷云) from snow, since both are cold and bright; it is even more so when cirrus clouds are above a surface with patchy snow (片状雪) or snow cover. One solution is to look at satellite images from a particular area and compare them to data submitted by citizen scientists on the ground.“Looking at what an observer recorded as clouds and looking at their surface observations really helps us better understand the images that were matched from the satellite,” said Colon Robles.You don’t have to be a cloud-gazing professional to participate. For those who want to be part of the challenge but don’t have a lot of experience identifying clouds, Colon Robles offers the following advice: “Just go outside. The more clouds you observe, the more comfortable you’ll be collecting data.”32. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?A. Provide background information.B. Present an argument.C. Attract readers’ attention.D. Offer advice to readers.33. Why do researchers launch the cloud observation challenge?A. The GLOBE Program is badly short of hands.B. The technology CERES uses is not advanced.C. Cirrus clouds are difficult to identify with snow cover.D. Scientists can compare data from different instruments.34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Citizen observers can only submit data by means of an app.B. Observers with the most observations will receive a special honor.C. Observations from the ground are not as valuable as satellite images.D. The data collected by citizen scientists will be posted on social media.35. Which is the best title for the passage?A. NASA to Employ New MembersB. Cloud Activities Bring a New ChallengeC. Scientists to Teach You to Observe CloudsD. Citizens Gain Experience through Observation第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。

Call2Recycle agreed to assist and provided recycling bins for free,which were placed in schools,libraries,and other public places.Nihal’s organization now operates across the U.S.and is expanding to other countries including Canada, Switzerland,and India.“Earth gives us so much—oxygen,food,water—everything!So it’s important that we give something back when we can,”says Nihal.The Barron Prize was founded in2001by author T.A.Barron.“Nothing is more inspiring than stories about heroic people who have truly made a difference to the world,”says T.A.Barron.“And we need our heroes today more than ever.Not celebrities,but heroes—people whose character can inspire us all.That is the purpose of the Barron Prize:to shine the spotlight on these amazing young people so that their stories will inspire others.”4.What does Recycle My Battery intend to do?A.Protect the earth from used batteries.B.Promote used batteries across the globe.C.Make money by collecting used batteries.D.Stop people throwing used batteries away.5.What does the underlined word“Undeterred”in Paragraph3probably mean?A.Undiscouraged.B.Unprepared.C.Unsurprised.D.Uninterested.6.How did Call2Recycle help Nihal’s organization?A.By making it go global.B.By offering free recycling bins.C.By providing financial support.D.By buying more used batteries.7.What is the text mainly about?A.The importance of recycling batteries.B.The impact of batteries on the environment.C.The achievements of the Barron Prize winners.D.The inspiring story of a young environmentalist.CMore than50million people in Asia,Africa,the Middle East and elsewhere follow pastoralism(游牧)as a way oflife.The practice has survived for so long because it is designed to change with the environment.Pastoralists move with animals to find new lands and water,leaving behind eaten plants to regrow.Mongolia is well known for its pastoralism.Agvaantogtokh and his family are herders(牧民).On horseback,he rides with nearly a thousand sheep and goats to help them find water.Sometimes,he and his wife,Nurmaa,stop to help struggling young ones,weak after a difficult winter.For families like Agvaantogtokh’s,pastoralism is more than a profession.It is a cultural identity that connects generations.At its heart is the human connection to animals.While they consider the animals as their property,they also see them as living beings working alongside them.Researchers say herders believe in“animal agency”.Agvaantogtokh lets his animals choose the food they eat and where they find water.To him,restricting an animal’s movement and asking it to eat the same thing each day is like putting a person in prison.In Mongolia,weather extremes are a part of life.When Agvaantogtokh thinks about climate change,he is concerned about humans and animals.Continuous dry and warm weather affects Mongolia.Since1940,the government says,average temperatures have risen2.2degrees Celsius.To keep their practice alive,pastoralists seek ways to modernize.In Mongolia,Lkhaebum recently began using a small vehicle to more easily search for horses. The family uses electricity and has other technologies including a TV and a washing machine.They also use a cellphone to follow the weather and access social media where herders share information.One of the biggest threats to pastoralism comes from within.Nurmaa and Agvaantogtokh’s18-year-old daughter studies medicine.Their son spoke about becoming a herder when he was a child,but not anymore.“I won’t regret anything if my child won’t be a herder,”Nurmaa said.“I would like them to do what they desire to do.”8.What contributes to the survival of pastoralism?A.Huge pastoralist populations.B.Adaptation to the environment.C.Herders’desire to travel to new places.D.Slow development of modernization.9.What does pastoralism mean to Agvaantogtokh?A.The distinct identity of animals.B.A poorly-paid profession.C.An out-of-date lifestyle.D.The bond between man and animals.10.What does“animal agency”in Paragraph4refer to?A.Animals’living in cages.B.Animals’eating the same thing.C.Animals’struggling in shelters.D.Animals’moving around freely.11.What is a big challenge for pastoralism?A.Modern technology.B.No government support.C.Young people’s disinterest in it.ck of information exchange.DDr Paul King at Texas Christian University has been an influential scholar in the field of communication studies for30years.I spoke to King about his research into“state anxiety in listening performance”.Most of us believe that anxiety impacts only the person giving the speech or presentation.Dr King has discovered that audience members feel anxiety,too.King says that listening is a tiring activity because the learner is continually adding material to beremembered-retrieved-later.This is what he means by“cognitive backlog(认知积压)”.Put simply,the longer the task or the more information that is delivered,the greater the cognitive load.According to King,listening to a five-minute presentation produces a relatively small amount of cognitive backlog;an18-minute presentation produces a little more, while a60-minute presentation produces so much backlog that you risk seriously upsetting your audience unless you create a very engaging presentation with“soft breaks”—stories,videos,demonstrations,or other speakers.The longer the presentation,the more the listener has to organize,comprehend,and remember.The burden increases along with a listener’s anxiety.They become increasingly frustrated,even angry.King says that the current research into memory processing suggests that it’s better to study content on two or three occasions for a short period of time instead of spending an entire evening cramming(填鸭式学习).King applies the results to his graduate class on research methods.If given a choice,most graduate students would rather attend a single three-hour class than three50-minute classes.When King taught his class once a week,he found that the students returned for the next class having lost most of the information they had learned the prior week. King discovered the“better practice”was to schedule the same content on three separate occasions,such as Monday, Wednesday,and Friday.King said that despite objections,when he taught the class on three occasions his students scored better and exhibited a better memory of the complex material.12.What does Dr Paul King say about“cognitive backlog”?A.It should be prevented from happening.B.It is affected by the number of listeners.C.It changes with the length of a presentation.D.It produces a negative effect on mental health.13.What is the function of“soft breaks”?A.To case listeners’anxiety.B.To show the talents of speakers.C.To add topics to the presentation.D.To make the presentation longer.14.What does Dr Paul King’s new practice focus on?A.Exploring complex materials.pleting a single task at a time.C.Breaking up the whole into parts.D.Grouping students by their levels.15.What can we learn about Dr Paul King’s new class schedule?A.It was welcomed by students.B.It turned out to be a success.C.It made no difference indeed.D.It still had room for improvement.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

And th is stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation---or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel---private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views---of Earth and space---and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity---including sports and other activities that make use of this.The hotels themselves will vary greatly---from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sort of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below.Of course all good things have come to an end. Unfortunately, a nd so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back enough you’ll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again---or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.31. When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because_______.A. It is expensive to travel in spaceB. they would find the possible life in other star systemsC. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotelsD. they want to realize the full potential of tourism32. Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?A. The gravitational pullB. The special views.C. The relaxation in a bar.D. The space walk.33. Which of the following is not discussed in the passage?A. When was the space traveling made possible?B. What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer?C. Why were there not many published designs for space hotels?D. How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels?34. This passage is mainly about ________.A. traveling in spaceB. the ways of living in space hotelsC. zero gravity and space hotelsD. the description of space hotels35. The word “launch〞in the second paragraph probably means ________.A. setting upB. sending upC. living inD. traveling around第二节〔共5小题,每题2分,总分值10分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最正确选项。

AWhat it doesThe self-cleaning door handle is combining with advanced photo catalytic(光催化)and black light technology.A light source activates the door's handle coating, telling it to start cleaning. It can minimize the risk of infection by contact and improve the cleanliness of a space.How it worksThe working principle三of.the product is that a thin advanced photo catalytic coating can effectively break down bacteria(细菌)on the surface of a substance.A consistent UV light source—inside a transparent glass door handle—is required to activate the door's handle coating on the outer surface for disinfection, so a generator (发生器)is used to provide electricity to light up a UV LED lamp by the motion of an opening and closing door. Then, the door handle can clean by itself.Design processWe made the first version by using stainless steel. However, it caused the door handle to be heavier. Then, we tried aluminum, which made it light and easy to fix. We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.How it is differentOur innovative design is simple, effective, and attractive. It has an elegant smooth shape, and its minimalist appearance stands out in today’s world of inventions. Nowadays, people use chemical cleaning materials to clean up public areas but it harms the human body. Our design can be used for a long time and is effective. It can self-clean after each use. In the door lock and door handle market, it is a unique design because there are no similar products.Future plansIn the future, we will commercialize the product and hope that it can compete on the market with similar products. We are going to connect with public properties, for example, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals and public restrooms, where the risk of spreading infection is higher.AwardsIn addition to winning the James Dyson Award, it has also received the Gold Award, and in 2016, it was featured in the 44th International Geneva Inventions Exhibition.21.How does the self-cleaning door handle function?A.It controls the door movement automatically.B.It minimizes the risk of infection by less contact.C.Chemical cleaning materials are used to clean it up.D.The light source tells the door handle coating to clean itself.pared with the first version of the product, the present one is_________.A. safer and cheaperB. cleaner and easierC. less heavy and more effectiveD. more attractive and expensive23.What do we know about the new invention according to the passage?A.It has been widely used in public areas.B.It has received recognition for its innovation.C.It is quite competitive among similar products.D.It will replace traditional chemical cleaning materials.BRome wasn't built in a day. And neither was the Roman subway system. Underground work is slow going, because construction workers often meet with frescoes(壁画) and other valuable stone foundations thousands of years ago. And a few years ago, they found the wooden foundations of a luxurious porch from a Roman building.So local archaeologists called in Mauro Bernabei of the National Research Council of Italy. He's a dendrochronologist: someone who analyzes tree rings, which give age and environmental information."We have to study wood because it's full, really full, of information!" Bernabei and his team found that the wooden planks were oak(橡木). But the wood's origin was harder to determine. So they compared the tree rings in the oak floor to those available in libraries of tree rings that contain timber from all over Europe. And they found a match for the Roman wood—from the Jura region of eastern France, more than 600 miles away.The researchers also determined that it was used in about 40 to 60 B.C. And some came from trees already up to 300 years old when they were cut down. The details are in the journal PLOS ONE.The discovery is the first clear evidence of oak from north of the Alps being used to build ancient Rome. And it's a reminder that the Romans had a complex trading network. These trees, for example, likely floated down two rivers, across the Mediterranean and up another river to Rome.Bernabei says Roman archaeologists usually destroy ancient wood—it's not as valuable as jewelry and vases and frescos. But he's hoping this study might change their minds. "Save the wood, yes! And call me,if you don't want to save—please, call me!"He says.24.Why does the subway in Rome go slowly?A.It is hard to dig up the earth in Rome.B.There are many ancient ruins buried here.C.It is very dangerous to work too fast in RomeD.The Roman are not experienced in building subways25.What can people learn from the wood foundations?A.The wealth in ancient RomeB.The trading information of ancient RomeC.The culture of ancient RomeD.The social relations of ancient Rome26.What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 refer to?A.The stoneB. The subwayC. The French woodD.The Roman foundation27.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Scientists found some information about ancient RomeB. Wood was not as valuable as stones in ancient RomeC.Only the rich people in ancient Rome could use woodD. Ancient Rome could have a rich trading network.CIt's no secret that inhaling(吸入) smoke is bad for your lungs. But now, scientists are suggesting smoke may also carry and spread infectious diseases.The theory,published in Science Magazine, is based on research that found wildfire smoke is teeming with thousands of species of microorganisms. Some of these microorganisms, including bacteria and fungal spores(真菌孢子), are known to cause disease.The new research suggests that when a wildfire burns plant or animal matter and disturbs soils, it exposes thousands of species of bacteria and fungi(真菌)that otherwise might not easily become airborne(空气传播的). You might think the high heat from fire would kill these organisms, but one studycited in the article found that some bacteria even multiply post-fire. Scientists say the organisms latch onto smoke particulates(微粒), allowing them to travel thousands of miles across continents.Dr. Peter Chen, director of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, is "intrigued" by the theory but somewhat skeptical that the microorganisms in smoke would actually cause infections. Many bacteria and fungi don't cause lung infections, says Chen, but it's certainly possible that a significant amount could worsen symptoms in someone with a pre-existing lung condition."I always thought it was the particulates in smoke that were causing these issues," says Chen, "But when I read this, I started thinking: Could it be the microorganisms that are also worsening existing illness?"Whether the microbes in smoke actually cause infection or simply worsen potential respiratory(呼吸的)issues, the article raises a new health threat that is "certainly alarming," says Kelsey Jack, an associate professor of environmental and development economics.This is especially true for lower-income populations, Jack says, because people with fewer means are often more exposed to the environment. If smoke is affecting the air quality in a certain area, the people who work outside, or who have to go to the office on foot or by bike, will inhale moresmoke than those who drive.But until more research is done, Chen says the best thing people can do is just follow existing recommendations when air quality is poor— including staying indoors, keeping windows and doors closed, using HEPA filters(过滤器)and running air conditioning.28.What can we know about the microorganisms from paragraph 2?A.They could be killed by high heatB.They could possibly travel through air by themselvesC.They could reproduce in large numbers after fires.D.They can easily attach themselves to smoke particulates29.How do most microorganisms affect people according to Dr. Peter Chen?A.They will causes lung infections.B.They might worsen lung diseaseC.They will destroy living environments.D.They might damage respiratory system30.Why are low-income people suffering more than others?A.They live in poor areas.B.They drive to and from workC.They have suffered from lung diseaseD.They are exposed to polluted air more frequently.31.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.Results of the new researchB.Disagreements between the author and Chen.C.Suggestions on dealing with poor air qualityD.Benefits of preventing smoke from polluting the airDIt should be one of the main goals in today’s society to reduce plastic consumption. Though many of us believe that recycling will solve the problem, and continue using plastic, it’s actually the opposite. In 2013, 254 million tonnes of trash was produced in the U.S. alone, and only around 30% was recycled. This means that the rest ended up in a landfill and will stay there for up to 1000 years.Recently, China has stopped importing trash from all over the world. Before this, over 30% of the world’s waste would end up in China, causing a popular belief that Asian countries are those responsible for creating the majority of the waste in the world. Now, Asian countries, including Vietnam and Thailand, are looking for new ways to avoid plastic. One of those ideas was a new, eco-friendly way to pack their goods by avoiding plastic packaging.One of the Perfect Homes Chia ngmai’s team members noticed a creative way to reduce plastic that a supermarket called Rimping Supermarket was using and decided to take photos of their shelves with his phone.
