They are safe and protected…not a single animal lost,”he said.BBC news also mentioned that“there’s a tiger to the back of the house.”Some media outlets highlighted the“heroic job”in their headlines.Online users also reacted with thumbs-up and were glad to see all the staff and animals coming through the horrific fire.Located in the southern coast of New South Wales,Mogo Wildlife Park houses Australia’s largest collection of primates,also including different and unique animals such as zebras,giraffes, rhinos and red pandas.4.New South Wales hits the headlines because of________.A.its famous zooB.its endangered animalsC.the heartwarming eventD.being easy to catch fire5.Which of the following is true about Mogo Wildlife Park?A.It belongs to Chad Staples.B.None of the animals is missing.C.It merely holds rare animal species..Extra shelters were built for emergencies.6.Which word can probably describe Chad Staples?A.Irresponsible.B.Considerate.C.Selfish.D.Energetic.7.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.The Heroic JobB.The Horrific FireC.The Extinct AnimalsD.The Brave Zoo KeeperC“The moment before they called my name,I was really nervous because the other finalists’presentations are really good and I thought they would win,”Kara Fan,14,who has won America’s Top Young Scientist,told Yahoo Finance.“When they announced my name,I was really surprised actually.”To win that claim,Fan’s nano-particle liquid bandage had to surpass the experiments of hundreds of fifth to eighth graders as well as nine other finalists.Fan started developing her liquid bandage in April2019to fight the overuse of antibiotics(抗生素).According to the CDC,roughly2million people every year suffer a bacterial infection in the U.S.and about23,000passed away as a result.If left alone,a UN study reported,drug-resistant diseases or the“superbug”could lead to10million deaths across the globe by2050.When Fan’s sprayable bandage dries on a person’s skin,it creates a thin layer that protects the wounded area while breaking the cell wall and killing the bacteria on the skin.After experimenting with copper nitrate(硝酸铜)to fight bacteria,switching to the silver nitrate ended up being the major catalyst(催化剂)to seeing results for her award-winning project.“Thousands of years ago,ancient people would use copper and silver to eat with and they would drink water from like copper bowls to kill bacteria,”Fan explained.“I found out that it didn’t work.So I used nano silver.”Sir Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin—a type of antibiotic—is Fan’s favorite scientific discovery.That said,she doesn’t think humans should rely too heavily on penicillin. Following her years at Westview High School,Fan hopes to continue her biology track at Stanford University.Along with the$25,000cash prize she won on October29,becoming Amer-ica’s Top Young Scientist may help get the private university’s attention.8.How did Kara Fan feel about her winning the prize?A.Confident.B.Regretful.C.Proud.D.Unexpected.9.For what purpose did Fan develop her liquid bandage?A.To fight overuse of antibiotics.B.To enter a national contest.C.To reduce deaths from injuries.D.To get into a good university.10.Which of the following does Fan use to kill bacteria?A.Copper nitrate.B.Copper.C.Silver.D.Nano silver.11.What might be Fan’s opinion about penicillin?A.Addictive.B.Valuable.eless.D.Irreplaceable.DA2018report found that food waste would increase by a third to2.1billion tons by2030. Beyond the cost of the waste itself,thrown-away food generates a gas that contributes to climate change.Home delivery meal kits(盒)can reduce food waste by more than two-thirds,but suppliers need to switch to reusable packaging to make them environmentally friendly.Tailor-made meal kits cut waste by providing people with precise amounts of fresh ingredients(烹饪原料)for chosen recipes,meaning leftovers are minimized.But while the delivery services score well on reducing food waste,buying the same food ingredients from the supermarket almost always saves energy overall simply because meal kits use so much single-use packaging.The good news is that if people have meals that are tailored for consumption,they won’t overbuy and have less food waste.They fine-tune the amount of food to what they will actually eat.Meal kits can reduce transport emissions(排放)if people go to the supermarket less frequently.If people only go and buy such goods as soap and toilet paper,they may only have to visit once every couple of months.A delivery truck can carry meals for a lot of people in the neighborhood.So dozens of car trips might be replaced with one truck trip.However,study found that even if delivery meal kits reduced food waste to zero,they would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth.The packaging is a killer if it’s single-use and thrown away,which can make all the environmental benefits lost.But if the packaging can be reused,if it’s glass bottles,like in the old days,we can get some benefits.12.What can we learn about home delivery meal kits?A.They can cut down on daily expenses.B.They will totally solve the problem of food waste.C.They can keep energy consumption to a minimum.D.They will benefit the environment with reusable packaging.13.What does the underlined word“fine-tune”in paragraph3mean?A.Attach.B.Adjust.C.Raise.pare.14.The author suggests carrying meals with a delivery truck to__________.A.reduce transport emissionsB.save more foodC.shop only in the supermarketD.shorten car trip distances15.What’s the author’s attitude to meal kits?A.Supportive.B.Unfavorable.C.Objective.D.Indifferent.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。

AHelping and supporting others may be key to living a longer and healthier life, according to a new research from the University of Bagel in Switzerland. The findings published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, show that grandparents who care for their grandchildren enjoy longer lifespans. So do old people who care for others within their social networks.Using data from the Berlin Aging Study, the researchers analyzed the longevity(寿命) and caregiving habits of more than 500 old people between the ages of 70 and 103. The study compared grandparents who acted as occasional caregivers with those who did not. It also compared these grandparents with old adults who did not have grandchildren but cared for people within their social networks.Those grandparents who did not play the role of attending to grandchildren were more likely to have diedwithin just five years of the testing period. While those old adults who provided, support to their family lived for an extra seven years on average and those provided support to their social networks lived for an extra four years on average.Although the new study only focused on old adults, it's safe to assume that the health benefits of helping and taking care of others also reach those of all ages. However, it's important to note that too much caregiving often has just the opposite effect. There's a clear link between too much caregiving and a number of negative physical and mental health consequences.1.How many groups of old people are involved in the study?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.2.What does the research show?A.Old people are more likely to support others.B.Grandparents live longer than childless old adults.C.Supporting others prevents diseases of old patients.D.Helping others properly has a good effect on health.3.What does the last paragraph imply?A.Reducing earegiving can avoid bad health.B.It's a good quality of all ages to be helpful.C.Caregiving is not always beneficial to health.D.Mental disorder is often caused by much caregiving.【解析】本文是一篇说明文。

Rioghna,a junior at Rochester Mayo High School, had spring sports to play. Hannah,a senior at University of Chicago , was going to have a spring break in Aruba. However , both were canceled because of COVID-19. But they soon recovered and now they are sitting at home , solving Rochester's problems in their way. Pointing to the computer screen, Hannah tells her sister,“She is a nurse and her child needs to be matched.”The two sisters birthed their plan last Saturday on the drive home from picking up Hannah in Chicago. As more medical workers were sent to work, fighting against the fierce pandemic (流行病), the sisters knew many of their families would need childcare. At the same time, teens throughout Rochester were off school. So on Sunday, Hannah and Rioghna launched Step Up To Sit. Already they're paired more than 40 families with sitters.“The young people in the community are stepping up to do their part,”Hannah says, “We are delighted that we' re having an impact on people's lives in this hard time.”For the last four days,160 teens have registered to help, most wiling to work free. if paired with a family in need. With more and more teens joining in, the two sisters decide to launch Step Up To Shop,a platform for teens to deliver groceries to seniors.Rioghna acknowledges people of her age get a bad reputation as smartphone-addicted and selfish. The Pittock sisters are proving otherwise,“Amid the pandemic,people should be allowed to be upset and allowed to be a little bit down about the upset in their lives, but it's about something bigger and recognizing we all have our part to play here,”Rioghna says.4.Why did the two sisters feel sorry for themselves?A. They would join in activities separately.B. They had to give up their planned activities.C. They were infected with COVID-19 seriously.D. Their parents were sent to battle COVID-19.5.Step Up to Sit is a platform to .A. pair medical worker families with teen sittersB. call on teens to deliver groceries to seniorsC. spread basic health knowledge to peopleD. instruct teens to study online at home6.Which of the following best describes the two sisters?A. Tolerant.B. Humble.C. Caring.D. Stubborn.7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Smartphone addiction makes teens selfish.B. The Pittock sisters acted on a low profile.C. People can do nothing against pandemic.D. There is some misunderstanding of teens.CThe low percentage of women in science ,technology,engineering,and mathematics(STEM) careers is often attributed (归因于) to men being believed to be better at the sort of thinking those fields require. Though studies have debunked the view,they have largely been based on results acquired from various several standardized tests. Now, researchers from Pennsylvania' S Carnegie Mellon University have found evidence that is hard to overlook; MRI (磁共振成像) proves that young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems.The groundbreaking study to evaluate the biological gender differences in the math talent of young children was led by the university' s professor of neuroscience, Jessica Cantlon. For their study ,the team selected 104 young children, between 3 and 10 years old, divided almost equally by gender. The scientists used a functional MRI to observe their brain activity as they engaged in math tasks. These included watching age appropriate educational videos and doing math exercises such as counting and addition,as well as reading for comparison.“We looked at which areas of the brain respond more strongly to mathematics content in the videos and tasks, compared to non math content like reading or the alphabet, Cantlon said.“When we do that in lite girls, we see a particular network of the brain respond,and when we do that same analysis in boys, we see the exact same regions.”So why do girls and young women tend to avoid math and STEM careers in general? Cantlon thinks it may be rooted in social and cultural conventions. Previous studies have indicated that parents tend to spend more time with young boys in play that inspire spatial cognition (空间认知)-such as toysthat involve learning number skills and shapes and solving puzzles. Educators were also observed to spend more time with boys during math class.8.What does the underlined word“debunked”in paragraph 1 mean? A.Disproved.B. Supported.C. Confirmed.D. Overlooked.9.What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?A. The purpose of the research.B. The process of the research.C. The participants of the research.D. The findings of the research.10.What contributes to the lack of women in STEM careers?A. Mental capacity.B. Gender difference.C. Traditional prejudice.D. Family background.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. MRI- A Great Helper in ResearchB. Toys- Boosters for STEM PotentialC. Boys and Girls: Equally Talented in MathD. STEM Careers: Calling for More w omenDAlgorithms (算法) affect nearly every part of a person's experience on the Internet. Search engines are most people' s entry to the Internet.Ifa person wants to find information about something, they usually start witha search bar.As soon as they stat typing or choosing links,the algorithm starts gathering data about every choice users make and uses that data totry to find the websites or information that most directly relate to what the user is looking for.The problem with algorithm is that they can limit the kinds of information people see,says MacMillan,a reading researcher with Project Information Literacy (能力). He argues this can be harmful to people's critical thinking and lead them to believe that only one point of view is correct.Companies also pay to post advertisements for products that could relateto users' search data. For example,if you search for places to take a vacation,you will likely start to see ads for travel companies, flightsor hotels.Renee Hobbs, director of the Media Education Lab at the University of Rhode Island, however, argues that algorithms are not all bad. She says search engine algorithms can help you find what might be the most useful information faster. But she says it is in the interests of Internet companies to keep users on the Internet for as long as possible so they see more ads.The current generation of young people grow up using the Internet and they are prone(易于遭受) to distrustful information.That is why schools must train students how to use the Internet more wisely in their Studies.Itis the duty of education to keep students informed about the world around them. Yet it is not the duty of education alone. And lawmakers should consider increasing data protection rules. Individuals can also use a wide variety of websites to avoid algorithmic controls.12. How do algorithms affect users' Internet experience?A. They lead to slower Internet connection.B. They block ads for users automatically.C. They always help users get reliable links.D. They determine the content users receive.13. What is Hobbs' attitude to algorithms?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Objective.D. Indifferent.14.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Young people fall victim to the Internet.B. Data protection rules are already enough.C. Education is fully responsible for algorithmic controls.D. Joint efforts are needed to handle algorithmic controls.15. Which column of a magazine is the text most likely from?A. Science.B. Entertainment.C. Advertisement.D.

Norwegians also work hard and are always near the top in research on global worker productivity rates. Bui in today’s high-tech world where work seems to follow us wherever we go, the people of Norway are redefining(重新定义)what wealth means. Laws just recently passed by the government attach great importance to family and time off.Also, the country is saving for the future. Every dollar earned from oil is put straight into its pensions ——worth billions of dollars.

B With bushfires continuing to swallow different parts of Australia, a local zoo in New South Wales-- the state which is the easiest to catch fire--has hit the headlines with a heartwarming story. Right in the line of a bushfire, the keepers of Mogo Wildlife Park managed to protect all 200 animals from harm after they received evacuation orders, according to reports. Netizens were quick to react on social media and praised the bravery of the zoo keeper and staffs, as they stayed and managed to protect animals from uncontrolled fires and even sheltered some at their own house. The 40-year-old zoo keeper, Chad Staples, described the situation as the worst catastrophe, which felt like Armageddon (大决战) here. Luckily, his team had madea precise plan ahead of time by moving everything flammable from the area and the larger animals to safe places.What’s remarkable is that as the smaller ones needed extra shelter, Staples decided to take them to his own house.“Right now in my house there are animals of all descriptions in all the different rooms. They are safe and protected … not a single animal lost,” he said.BBC news also mentioned that “there’s a tiger to the back of the house.”Some media outlets highlighted the “heroic job” in their headlines. Online users also reacted with thumbs-up and were glad to see all the staff and animals coming through the horrific fire.Located in the southern coast of New South Wales, Mogo Wildlife Park houses Australia’s largest collection of primates, also including different and unique animals such as zebras, giraffes, rhinos and red pandas.4. New South Wales hits the headlines because of ________.A. its famous zooB. its endangered animalsC. the heartwarming eventD. being easy to catch fire5. Which of the following is true about Mogo Wildlife Park?A. It belongs to Chad Staples.B. None of the animals is missing.C. It merely holds rare animal species.. Extra shelters were built for emergencies.6. Which word can probably describe Chad Staples?A. Irresponsible.B. Considerate.C. Selfish.D. Energetic.7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Heroic JobB. The Horrific FireC. The Extinct AnimalsD. The Brave Zoo KeeperC“ The moment before they called my name, I was really nervous because the other finalists’ presentations are really good and I thought they would win, ” Kara Fan, 14, who has won America’ s Top Young Scientist, told Yahoo Finance. “ When they announced my name, I was really surprised actually. ”To win that claim, Fan’ s nano-particle liquid bandage had to surpass the experiments of hundreds of fifth to eighth graders as well as nine other finalists. Fan started developing her liquid bandage in April 2019 to fight the overuse of antibiotics(抗生素).According to the CDC, roughly 2 million people every year suffer a bacterial infection in the U. S. and about 23, 000 passed away as a result. If left alone,a UN study reported, drug- resistant diseases or the “ superbug” could lead to10 million deaths across the globe by 2050. When Fan’ s sprayable bandage dries on a person’ s skin, it creates a thin layer that protects the wounded area while breaking the cell wall and killing the bacteria on the skin. After experimenting with copper nitrate(硝酸铜) to fight bacteria, switching to the silver nitrate ended up being the major catalyst (催化剂) to seeing results for her award-winning project.“ Thousands of years ago, ancient people would use copper and silver to eat with and they would drink water from like copper bowls to kill bacteria, ” Fan explained. “ I found out that it didn’t work. So I used nano silver. ”Sir Alexander Fleming’ s discovery of penicillin— a type of antibiotic— is Fan’ s favorite scientific discovery. That said she doesn’ t think humans should rely too heavily on penicillin.Following her years at Westview High School, Fan hopes to continue her biology track at Stanford University. Along with the $ 25, 000 cash prize she won on October 29, becoming Amer-ica’ s Top Young Scientist may help get the private university’ s attention.8. How did Kara Fan feel about her winning the prize?A. Confident.B. Regretful.C. Proud.D. Unexpected.9. For what purpose did Fan develop her liquid bandage?A. To fight overuse of antibiotics.B. To enter a national contest.C. To reduce deaths from injuries.D. To get into a good university.10. Which of the following does Fan use to kill bacteria?A. Copper nitrate.B. Copper.C. Silver.D. Nano silver.11. What might be Fan’ s opinion about penicillin?A. Addictive.B. Valuable.C. Useless.D. Irreplaceable.DA 2018 report found that food waste would increase by a third to 2. 1billion tons by 2030. Beyond the cost of the waste itself,thrown-away food generates a gas that contributes to climate change.Home delivery meal kits(盒)can reduce food waste by more than two-thirds,but suppliers need to switch to reusable packaging to make them environmentally friendly.Tailor-made meal kits cut waste by providing people with precise amounts of fresh ingredients(烹饪原料)for chosen recipes,meaning leftovers are minimized. But while the delivery services score well on reducing food waste,buying the same food ingredients from the supermarket almost always saves energy overall simply because meal kits use so much single-use packaging. The good news is that if people have meals that are tailored for consumption,they won’t overbuy and have less food waste. They fine-tune the amount of food to what they will actually eat.Meal kits can reduce transport emissions(排放)if people go to the supermarket less frequently. If people only go and buy such goods as soap and toilet paper,they may only have to visit once every couple of months. A delivery truck can carry meals for a lot of people in the neighborhood. So dozens of car trips might be replaced with one truck trip.However,study found that even if delivery meal kits reduced food waste to zero,they would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth. The packaging is a killer if it’s single-use and thrown away,which can make all the environmental benefits lost. But if the packaging can be reused,if it’s glass bottles,like in the old days,we can get some benefits.12. What can we learn about home delivery meal kits?A. They can cut down on daily expenses.B. They will totally solve the problem of food waste.C. They can keep energy consumption to a minimum.D. They will benefit the environment with reusable packaging.13. What does the underlined word“fine-tune”in paragraph 3 mean?A. Attach.B. Adjust.C. Raise.D. Compare.14. The author suggests carrying meals with a delivery truck to__________.A. reduce transport emissionsB. save more foodC. shop only in the supermarketD. shorten car trip distances15. What’s the author’s attitude to meal kits?A. Supportive.B. Unfavorable.C. Objective.D. Indifferent.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。

Rioghna,a junior at Rochester Mayo High School, had spring sports to play. Hannah,a senior at University of Chicago , was going to have a spring break in Aruba. However , both were canceled because of COVID-19. But they soon recovered and now they are sitting at home , solving Rochester's problems in their way. Pointing to the computer screen, Hannah tells her sister,“She is a nurse and her child needs to be matched.”The two sisters birthed their plan last Saturday on the drive home from picking up Hannah in Chicago. As more medical workers were sent to work, fighting against the fierce pandemic (流行病), the sisters knew many of their families would need childcare. At the same time, teens throughout Rochester were off school. So on Sunday, Hannah and Rioghna launched Step Up To Sit. Already they're paired more than 40 families with sitters.“The young people in the community are stepping up to do their part,” Hannah says, “We are delighted that we' re having an impact on people's lives in this hard time.”For the last four days,160 teens have registered to help, most wiling to work free. if paired with a family in need. With more and more teens joining in, the two sisters decide to launch Step Up To Shop,a platform for teens to deliver groceries to seniors.Rioghna acknowledges people of her age get a bad reputation as smartphone-addicted and selfish. The Pittock sisters are proving otherwise,“Amid the pandemic,people should be allowed to be upset and allowed to be a little bit down about the upset in their lives, but it's about something bigger and recognizing we all have our part to play here,”Rioghna says.4.Why did the two sisters feel sorry for themselves?A. They would join in activities separately.B. They had to give up their planned activities.C. They were infected with COVID-19 seriously.D. Their parents were sent to battle COVID-19.5.Step Up to Sit is a platform to .A. pair medical worker families with teen sittersB. call on teens to deliver groceries to seniorsC. spread basic health knowledge to peopleD. instruct teens to study online at home6.Which of the following best describes the two sisters?A. Tolerant.B. Humble.C. Caring.D. Stubborn.7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Smartphone addiction makes teens selfish.B. The Pittock sisters acted on a low profile.C. People can do nothing against pandemic.D. There is some misunderstanding of teens.CThe low percentage of women in science ,technology,engineering,and mathematics(STEM) careers is often attributed (归因于) to men being believed to be better at the sort of thinking those fields require. Though studies have debunked the view,they have largely been based on results acquired from various several standardized tests. Now, researchers from Pennsylvania' S Carnegie Mellon University have found evidence that is hard to overlook; MRI (磁共振成像) proves that young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems.The groundbreaking study to evaluate the biological gender differences in the math talent of young children was led by the university' s professor of neuroscience, Jessica Cantlon. For their study ,the team selected 104 young children, between 3 and 10 years old, divided almost equally by gender. The scientists used a functional MRI to observe their brain activity as they engaged in math tasks. These included watching age appropriate educational videos and doing math exercises such as counting and addition,as well as reading for comparison.“We looked at which areas of the brain respond more strongly to mathematics content in the videos and tasks, compared to non math content like reading or the alphabet, Cantlon said.“When we do that in lite girls, we see a particular network of the brain respond,and when we do that same analysis in boys, we see the exact same regions.”So why do girls and young women tend to avoid math and STEM careers in general? Cantlon thinks it may be rooted in social and cultural conventions. Previous studies have indicated that parents tend to spend more time with young boys in play that inspire spatial cognition (空间认知)-such as toys that involve learning number skills and shapes and solving puzzles. Educators were also observed to spend more time with boys during math class.8.What does the underlined word“debunked” in paragraph 1 mean? A.Disproved. B. Supported.C. Confirmed.D. Overlooked.9.What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?A. The purpose of the research.B. The process of the research.C. The participants of the research.D. The findings of the research.10.What contributes to the lack of women in STEM careers?A. Mental capacity.B. Gender difference.C. Traditional prejudice.D. Family background.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. MRI- A Great Helper in ResearchB. Toys- Boosters for STEM PotentialC. Boys and Girls: Equally Talented in MathD. STEM Careers: Calling for More w omenDAlgorithms (算法) affect nearly every part of a person's experience on the Internet. Search engines are most people' s entry to the Internet.If a person wants to find information about something, they usually start with a search bar.As soon as they stat typing or choosing links,the algorithm starts gathering data about every choice users make and uses that data to try to find the websites or information that most directly relate to what the user is looking for.The problem with algorithm is that they can limit the kinds of information people see,says MacMillan,a reading researcher with Project Information Literacy (能力). He argues this can be harmful to people's critical thinking and lead them to believe that only one point of view is correct.Companies also pay to post advertisements for products that could relate to users' search data. For example,if you search for places to take a vacation,you will likely start to see ads for travel companies, flights or hotels.Renee Hobbs, director of the Media Education Lab at the University of Rhode Island, however, argues that algorithms are not all bad. She says search engine algorithms can help you find what might be the most useful information faster. But she says it is in the interests of Internet companies to keep users on the Internet for as long as possible so they see more ads.The current generation of young people grow up using the Internet and they are prone(易于遭受) to distrustful information.That is why schools must train students how to use the Internet more wisely in their Studies.It is the duty of education to keep students informed about the world aroundthem. Yet it is not the duty of education alone. And lawmakers should consider increasing data protection rules. Individuals can also use a wide variety of websites to avoid algorithmic controls.12. How do algorithms affect users' Internet experience?A. They lead to slower Internet connection.B. They block ads for users automatically.C. They always help users get reliable links.D. They determine the content users receive.13. What is Hobbs' attitude to algorithms?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Objective.D. Indifferent.14.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Young people fall victim to the Internet.B. Data protection rules are already enough.C. Education is fully responsible for algorithmic controls.D. Joint efforts are needed to handle algorithmic controls.15. Which column of a magazine is the text most likely from?A. Science.B. Entertainment.C. Advertisement.D. Fashion.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分125分)阅读下而短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMany college students want to look for seasonal, short-term or part-time jobs to get extra cash, to stay busy or to get working experience.LifeguardThe job is a great opportunity to build your fitness, keep people safe and be outdoors to enjoy some fun on the beach in the sun. The average hourly wage for lifeguards is $ 9.31, but those with certifications or previous experience may be able to earn a bit more.Nanny (保姆)Students can find plenty of positions as parents scramble (争抢) to arrange activities and find care for their children. Students who enjoy spending time with kids, staying active and being outdoors can spend their leisure time making money without even feeling like they’re working. Nannies make $ 14.56 per hour.Camp ConsultantStudents who enjoy spending their time with children, being a leader and monitoring fun outdoor activities are perfect for camp consultant positions. The average hourly wage for camp consultants is $9.28, but those with many yea rs’ experience or specific academic backgrounds may be able to earn more.Food ServerAlthough it may not seem like the most attractive way to spend a weekend, working as wait staff allowsstudents to build up their social skills, stay active, enjoy free meals at work and posily educate themselves about different cuisines. However, food servers need to be on their feet for hours at a time and must be able tomulti-task like professionals, so take this into account before submitting an application. The average salary is $ 9.00 hourly, but trips can raise that number.1. Who are the two jobs nanny and camp consultant most fit for?A. Students who want to develop their social skills.B. Students who love staying with children.C. Students who love traveling.D. Students who love camping.2. What should you take into consideration before applying to be a food server?A. The way of cooking.B. The food you can enjoy.C. Long standing time at work.D. Skill in getting tips from customers.3. What job can you do if you’re good at swimming?A. A lifeguard.B. A nanny.C. A camp consultant.D. A food server.BConnie Monroe clicks a button, flicks her wrist and watches as her neighborhood floods. The shorelines are first to go. Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park. By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Monroe moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated (仿真的) view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most vexing: How do you show people and convince them of a possible future?Communicating the realness and immediacy of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to lessen its causes. But it's also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. These projects need public support and input. That's why Monroe and other residents (居民) are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual reality headsets and watch their英语试题第3页(共44页)英语试题第4页(共44页)homes flood.Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare. It has partnered with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.The virtual reality program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. Virtual reality is an immersive experience that can trick the human brain into thinking it's real. But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation being used at Turner Station, says Juiano Calil, one of the program's developers.''The goal, '' he says, ''is to start a conversation and help folks visualize the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between them. ''4. Who is Monroe?A. A coastal community citizen.B. A climate researcher.C. An architect.D. A VR program developer.5. What does the underlined word ''vexing'' mean in paragraph 2?A. Bothersome.B. Dramatic.C. Original.D. Convincing.6. Why is VR technology employed here?A. It can cut down the risks of climate change.B. It can show severe results of climate change.C. It can introduce technology to the residents.D. It can predict the climate change accurately.7. What is the purpose of the program?A. To trick more people to believe.B. To win the residents’cooperation.C. To advocate the application of VR.D. To inform the residents of the solutions.CBefore the end of the year, employees at Ubiquitous Energy, a company in Redwood City, Calif, will gather in a window-lined conference room to stare toward the future. That’s because their new glass windows will offer more than an amazing view of the North California landscape. They will also be able to power the com pany’s lights, computers and air conditioners.Several years in the making, Ubiquitous’ energy-producing glass is a remarkable technologicalachievement. Its power lies in the layers of organic polymers (聚合物) between sheets of glass. As light enters the window,the flow of electrons between the polymer layers creates an electric current, which is then collected by tiny wires in the glass.“It’s sort of like a transparent computer display run in reverse (反过来),” says Veeral Hardev, director of business develop ment at Ubiquitous Energy. “Instead of electricity being shuttled to different points in a display to light them up, light is producing electricity to be shuttled out of different points in the window.”Right now the windows produce about a third as much electricity from a given amount of sunlight as the typical solar cells used in roof panels (板).These windows, about half as transparent as ordinary glass, don’t work as well as transparent ones. Hardev says the company is likely to improve the transparency significantly. As for the lower output of electricity, he notes that windows can cover a much greater surface area than a roof, so numerous windows will produce a surprisingly larger amount of electricity than the production from a rooftop full of higher-e fficiency solar panels. “You could do both.” says Hardev. “But you’ll get more from the windows. The biggest challenge, he adds, is increasing the windows from less than two square feet currently to about 50 square feet.”8. What makes the new glass windows special?A. They can offer an amazing view.B. They are controlled by computers.C. They can power the conference room.D. They can help stare toward the future.9. What is Hardev trying to explain in Paragraph 3?A. The source of light.B. The significance of different points.C. The similarity of computer and glass.D. The working principle of energy-producing glass.10. What can affect power production according to the passage?A. The transparency of the glass.B. The quality of the rooftop.C. The height of the solar panels.D. The thickness of the glass.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?英语试题第7页(共44页)英语试题第8页(共44页)A. Windows: A New Challenge of TechnologyB. Windows: No Longer Just for Letting in the LightC. Power: A Pressing Problem in the Near FutureD. Power: Not Enough from Rooftop Solar PanelsDIf you’ve spent any amount of time boating, fishing, or bird-watching at lakes and rivers, you have most likely seen fishes jumping out of the water. I have seen it many times. Certainly, fishes will exit water in desperate attempts to escape enemies. Dolphins take advantage of the behavior, forming a circle and catching the frightened fishes in midair. But just as we may run fast from fun or from fear, different emotions might motivate fishes to jump.Mobula rays(蝸鲼)aren’t motivated by fear when they throw their impressive bodies—up to a seventeen-foot wingspan (the distance from the end of one wing to the end of the other) and a ton in weight—skyward in leap(跳跃)of up to ten feet. They do it in schools(鱼群)of hundreds. They usually land on their bellies, but sometimes they land on their backs. Some scientists think it might be a way of removing parasites(寄生虫). But I think that the rays are enjoying themselves.In the clear waters of Florida’s Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, I watched several schools of fifty or more mullets(鲻鱼)moving in beautiful formation. Their well-built bodies were most evident when they leaped from the water. Most of the time I saw one or two leaps by a fish, but one made a series of seven. They usually land on their sides. Each jump was about a foot clear of the water and two to three feet in length.Nobody knows for sure why the fish leaps. One idea is that they do it to take in oxygen. The idea is supported by the fact that mullets leap more when the water is lower in oxygen, but is challenged by the likelihood that jumping costs more energy than is gained by breathing air. It is hard to imagine they will feel any fresher when back in water.Might these fishes also be leaping for fun? There is some new evidence. Gordon M. Burghardt recently published accounts of a dozen types of fishes leaping repeatedly, sometimes over floating objects—sticks, plants, sunning turtle—for no clear reason other than entertainment.12. What can we say about the dolphins in Paragraph 1?A. They have great escaping skills.B. They are easily frightened.C. They are very clever.D. They love jumping.13. What do the ray and the mullet have in common when jumping?A. Both do it in groups.B. Both land on their bellies.C. Both jump many feet out of water.D. Both make leaps one after the other.14. How does the author feel about the idea mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. It is valuable.B. It is interesting.C. It is imaginative.D. It is questionable.15. Which may be the reason for fish leaps according to the author?A. To remove parasites.B. To amuse themselves.C. To take in more oxygen.D. To express positive emotions.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。
