D They are mountain bikers' favorites.2.Conor McClory and Sophie Curran are surfers and fond of traveling by ship. One day, they were on a beach called Bloody Foreland in Donegal, Ireland, hoping for waves where they can show off their surfing skills. However, what they found instead was a metal tube on the shore. At first they were worried the metal tube might be a bomb or contain something dangerous, so they didn't open it.They relaxed after a friend translated the Russian writing on the tube. It said "Time Capsule". When they opened the tube, they found the time capsule was full of letters, poems, pictures, and other small things from the ice-breaker ship's crew and passengers. Two of the letters were written in English, describing the Arctic trip of the 50 Years of Victory. One letter, written on August 4, 2018, said, "Everything around is covered by ice. We don't think it will be found for another 30 to 50 years." Sadly, the capsule was freed from the melting ice in less than two years. Starting inside the Arctic Circle, it floated roughly 3,700 kilometers to the north-western tip of Ireland, where it was found.McClory and Curran managed to get in touch with a woman named Sveta who had written one of the letters. She lives in St. Petersburg, Russia. Sveta didn't believe them when they told her that the time capsule had been washed up only two years later.Finding out the time capsule in only two years shows a bad situation. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as anywhere else. In 2020, for the first time ever, the Arctic sea ice did not re-freeze by late October. At least one study suggests that the sea ice here could melt completely during the summer by the year 2035.（1）Why were McClory and Curran on the beach?A To look for good surfing waves.B To search for the time capsule.C To bury something dangerous.D To take the Arctic trip by ship.（2）What do we know about McClory and Curran?A They joined in burying the time capsule.B They are both environmental volunteers.C They don't know the Russian language.D They're making a study of the Arctic ice.（3）How did Sveta feel about finding the time capsule in such a short time?A Relieved.B Pleased.C Shocked.D Excited.（4）What is conveyed about the Arctic ice in the last paragraph?A It will surely not re-freeze next year.B It should be researched immediately.C It will change the Arctic climate soon.D It's been the victim of global warming.3.Scientists studying honeybees in Vietnam have discovered an unusual trick used by Asian honeybees to drive away giant hornets（大黄蜂）.Like bees in much of Asia, these bees were constantly being attacked by hornets. They can find hives（蜂巢）with precision, cutting off the heads of the bees and using younger bees for food. The honeybees there have developed some ways of fighting back. For example, by gathering around the hornets and beating their wings very quickly, the bees can raise the temperature high enough to kill the hornets.Now scientists found something completely now. After the bees were attacked by giant hornets, the bees began collecting small bits of animal poop（粪便）from many kinds of animals, including pigs, cows and chickens, with their mouths and sticking it near the entrance to the hive. The scientists and beekeepers recorded over 300 giant hornet attacks on the beehives. They learned that the more poop there was near the hive entrance, the less likely the hornets were to attack. The poop also made the hornets 94% less likely to chew on the hive to make the entrance larger—something they have to do to get inside.When the giant hornets attack a hive, they mark it with a special chemical. To see if the bees were using poop in response to the hornets, the scientists marked a hive with this special chemical, and they found the bees soon began to spot the entrance with poop. The scientists don't know why the poop works to keep the hornets away. It could be that the poop smell hides the sweet smell coming from the hive. It's also possible that the smell drives them away. Asian honeybees have developed methods for fighting giant hornets. But that's not true in North America. Recently, the first Asian giant hornets were discovered in North America, which are a close relative of the giant hornets that the researchers studied. Scientists are now working hard to wipe them out. Otherwise, honeybees there could be in trouble.（1）Which word best describes hornets' attacking Asian honeybees?A Aimless.B Rare.C Risky.D Unwilling.（2）What is the scientists' statement about the honeybees based on?A Field research.B Relevant reports.C Published statistics.D Beekeepers' descriptions.（3）What makes scientists confused about Asian hornets?A Why they find the hives easily.B How they are affected by the poop.C How they get a special chemical.D Why they attack hive entrances.（4）What can be inferred about the honeybees in North America?A They aren't able to deal with the hornets.B They are learning from Asian honeybees.C They're close relatives of Asian honeybees.D They follow the hornets to move into Asia.4.A group of researchers in Europe have announced a 3-year project called Odeuropa to collect information about the important smells of Europe, from the 1500s to the early 1900s. The European Union has given Odeuropa $3.3 million to spend over the next three years.The people behind the project believe that smell is an important part of history, but one thatis often pretermitted. Through pictures, photos, videos and audio（声音）recordings we have records of how things looked and sounded. But we don't have records of how they smelled. And yet smell is an important sense. As the project's website says, "Much more so than any other sense, our sense of smell is linked directly to our emotions and our memories."For the first year and a half, the project will focus on collecting information about European smells going back to the 1500s. To achieve this goal, the group plans to create digital versions of historical books in seven different languages. Then, they will use the scanned information to train an artificial intelligence（Al）system to look for anything related to smells. Once the system is trained, it should be able to automatically collect information on the smells of all sorts of things.The final part of the project is even more complex. The team will work with chemists and people who make perfume to try to make the smells which aren't around anymore come back to life. The team hopes to give new life to about 120 different smells. Odeuropa will then offer the smells to museums across Europe to help them do a better job of using smells in their exhibits, which is one way for museums to include people who have lost other senses, such as sight or hearing.（1）What does the underlined word "pretermitted" in Paragraph 2 mean?A Used.B Researched.C Ignored.D Stored.（2）Which of the following is the first step of Odeuropa?A Training the AI system to work accurately.B Collecting records of European smells.C Finding out old smells of different types.D Making old documents digitalized.（3）What's the author's attitude towards Odeuropa?A Conservative.B Objective.C Favorable.D Opposed.（4）What's the suitable title for the text?A Smells Are So Important to HumansB Odeuropa Helps Museums SmellBetter C Historical Documents Hold the Lost Smells D Scientists Research and Re-create Old Smells二、七选五5. 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。

He planted some seeds in it. But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. My mother had several business trips, so she couldn’t take care of the garden.I didn’t want my father to worry, so I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered.I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often, so I didn’t think much about the garden.One Saturday morning, my father said to me, “Christine, the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let’s have a salad today!” I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs. There were hundreds of bugs all over them!I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest store to buy some vegetables.When I gave the salad to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! I can’t believe the carrots are this big alread y. You must be taking very good care of my garden.” I felt a little bit guilty.Coming home, my mother saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen. I was embarrassed and I admitted, “Dad wanted a salad, but the garden was a disaster. I didn’t want tod isappoint him, so I went to the store.” She laughed but promised to help me in the garden and weeks later I was finally able to pick some.I carefully made a salad and took it to my father. He looked at it with a hint of a smile. “Christine, the carrots are smaller in this salad, but they taste better.”Now, I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for something can help you appreciate the results more, however small they may be. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for my father’s love of gardening.4．Why did Christine originally promise she would do the gardening?A．She was asked by her father to do it.B．She was interested in growing vegetables.C．She knew it was important to her father.D．She wanted to improve her gardening skills.5．Which of the following was a problem in the garden?A．Insects destroyed the lettuce and carrots.B．Animals often dug holes in the garden.C．The plants were given too much water.D．The vegetables were marked incorrectly.6．Why could Christine secretly make the salad from store-bought vegetables?A．Her mother helped her to buy the vegetables.B．Her mother regularly helped her to make a spray.C．Her father couldn’t see the garden’s progress.D．Her father went on a business trip at that time.7．What did Christine learn through her experience of gardening?A．Always get ready for a rainy day.B．Don’t be disappointed by bugs.C．Working alone produces results.D．Hard work can often be rewarding.Tiny as they are, bats have the ability to “see” in the dark by using a special skill called echolocation (回声定位法).They make noises and wait for sound waves, or an echo, to bounce back off objects. They can tell the distance of various objects by how quickly the sound waves bounce back off them. If no sound bounces back, they can then fly forward.This special ability has been copied in the human world for a long time, such as in submarines and planes. But apart from helping vehicles “see” where they are, what if blind people could use echolocation for themselves? American Daniel Kish, who is blind, is known as “Batman”. This isn’t because he walks around in a cape (披风)and a mask, but because he has a bat-like ability to locate where he is through sharp clicks he makes by moving his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Kish is so skilled at echolocating that he can ride a bike and hike on his own.Recently, a research carried out at the University of Durham in England shed some light on the power of human echolocation. Kish, as well as other volunteers, worked with a group of scientists who studied the way blind people listen to the echoes that they produce from clicks. The team found that people were capable of hearing even very faint echoes, ones far fainter than had been previously thought.Lore Thaler, lead scientist o f the group, said, “We found that in some conditions, they were really faint—about 95 percent softer than the actual clicks, but the echolocators were still able to sense this.”Andrew Kolarik, another expert in echolocation, told BBC News that echolocatio n “can be very useful at providing information at face or chest height” and could help people “avoid objects like low hanging branches that might not get detected by the cane or a guide dog”According to BBC News, echolocation is a skill blind people can acquire and develop, just like learning a language. As Kolarik said, “Teaching echolocation skills could provide blind people with the means of exploring new places.”8．What does “this special ability” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．The ability to make noises in the dark.B．The ability to bounce back off objects.C．The ability to measure the distance quickly.D．The ability to use sound waves to echolocate.9．What do we know about Daniel Kish from the text?A．He is fond of riding a bike and hiking alone.B．He is called “Batman” because he looks like a bat.C．He is able to hear echoes he produces from clicks.D．He conducted the experiment to circulate echolocation.10．What is Kolarik’s attitude towards the future use of echolocation in blind people?A．Hopeful. B．Ambiguous.C．Tolerant. D．Doubtful.11．What’s the best title for the text?A．Echolocation in Human World B．Finding New Way to “See”C．A Very Special Batman D．A Breakthrough in EchoingThe evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image(印象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的)and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”So, it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with m e and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers’ rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping ou t with the family business to taking it over.”12．What is the popular images of teenagers today?A．They always worry about school.B．They dislike living with their parents.C．They have to be locked in to avoid troubles.D．They quarrel a lot with other family members.13．The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ______.A．cause trouble in their families B．share family responsibilityC．go boating with their family D．make family decisions 14．Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents _____.A．care less about their children’s lifeB．give their children more freedomC．are much stricter with their childrenD．go to clubs more often with their children15．What is the passage mainly about?A．Negotiation in family. B．Harmony in family.C．Education in family. D．Teenage trouble in family.二、七选五If you’re enjoying a cup of tea while reading this, you’re supporting just about every organ in your body.

He planted some seeds in it. But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injuredin an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. My mother had several business trips, so she couldn’t take care of the garden.I didn’t want my father to worry, so I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered.I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often, so I didn’t think much about the garden.One Saturday morning, my father said to me, “Christine, the vegetables should be about ready to be picked.
