Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Many people prefer eating out instead of cooking at home. A change appears to be taking place, though, and millennials are leading the way. According to one survey, more young people are starting to cook at home for three basic reasons: They can save money, eat healthy and waste less food.Popular TV chefs are also getting millennials excited about learning some basic cooking skills. Many millennials view cooking as a form of entertainment and self-expression. They proudly post pictures of their cooking creations on Facebook or Instagram, and invite friends over to share the cooking experience.Many millennials have also found ways to avoid wasting food. After roasting a chicken, they put the leftover bones in their freezer instead of the garbage can. Later, they use the bones to make chicken stock which is an important ingredient in many dishes.They also hate throwing out fruit that’s too old. To avoid that situation, they bake ripe fruit like berries and bananas for 15 minutes at 175 degrees Celsius. Then they freeze it overnight. After that, they place the fruit in plastic bags and store it their freezer for later use.Now many millennials only eat at restaurants that have excellent food-waste policies. These restaurants use every part of the vegetables they buy, including their stems and roots, in dishes. They also use beef, chicken and pork bones to make their own stock.Millennials also reduce food waste by only buying what they require. Before going to a market, they write down what they need and don’t buy anything else. They s ay they won’t purchase more food than they can consume.56. What is the main subject of this article?A. A cooking trend that has attracted millennials.B. A plan that millennials have for donating food.C. A novel cooking technique that millennials like.D. A food production system favored by millennials.57. What do millennials do with fruit before freezing it?A. Mix it with other ingredients in a bowl.B. Carefully remove the skin and seeds from it.C. Use a sharp knife to chop it up into pieces.D. Put it in an oven at the proper temperature.58. According to this article, when do millennials make careful choices?A. When they dine out togetherB. Whey they vote for candidatesC. When they choose an employerD. When they plant a new garden59. According to this article, how do millennials avoid purchasing too much food?A. They select small cans and packages.B. They prepare a practical shopping list.C. They leave their credit cards at home.D. They weigh produce before buying it.(B)Families should reduce exposure to syntheticchemicals found in food colouring, preservatives andpackaging materials as a growing body of research showsthey may harm children’s health, according to a policystatement and technical report from the AmericanAcademy of Paediatrics released online.The statement also suggests improvements to the food additives regulatory system, including updating the scientific foundation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations safety assessment programme and retesting all previously approved chemicals.Q&A with the lead authorWe asked Leonardo Trasande, Council on Environmental Health member and lead author of the policy statement, to tell us more about these concerns.Q: What are the growing number of studies showing us?A: Over the past two decades, an accumulating body of science suggests some food additives can interfere with a child’s hormones, growth and development.Potentially harmful effects of food additives are of special concern for children because they are more sensitive to chemical exposures because they eat and drink more, relative to body weight, than adults do and are still growing and developing. An early injury to their organ systems can have lifelong and permanent consequences.Q: What additives does the statement highlight?A: The additives of most concern, based on rising research evidence cited in the report, include:●Bisphenols, such as BPA, used to harden plastic containers and line metal cans, can act like estrogen（雌激素）in the body which may potentially change the timing of puberty, decrease fertility, increase body fat and affect the nervous and immune systems. BPA is now banned in baby bottles.●Phthalates, which make plastic and vinyl tubes used in industrial food production flexible, may affectmale genital development, increase childhood obesity and contribute to cardiovascular disease. In 2017, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the use or some phthalates in child-care products such as teething rings.60. According to the American Academy of Paediatrics’ report, people should ______ to cope with the problem of food additives.A. try to avoid food additives in daily life and revise relevant rules on food additivesB. update the food safety assessment program and check the approved chemicals againC. improve the food additives regulatory system and retest all approved chemicalsD. reduce the usage of food additives and establish new food protection system61. Leonardo Trasande holds the view that food additives do more harm to children than adults because study shows ______.A. children are more sensitive to what they eat and drink than adultsB. children usually eat and drink more unhealthy food than adultsC. children are just too young and weak to protect themselvesD. children’s organs are easier to be damaged and hard to recover62. How many specific kinds of harmful effect caused by the additives are mentioned in the passage?A. 2B. 7C. 8D. 3https:///lifestyles/health/food-additives-may-harm-children-health/N0WlrlF0QVppV AtVQg0cIM/(C)The koala is an unusual creature. Native to Australia and a bit bigger than arabbit, it spends most of its time in eucalyptus trees（桉树）, feeding on leaves thatare poisonous to nearly every other animal on the planet.The koala sleeps about 22 hours a day and spends the remainder of its timeeating and resting. It might spend 10 minutes a day moving, experts say, usuallyfrom one tree to another. It has a soft pad at the end of its spine and extra thick furon its rear end to make the effort of sitting more comfortable.Threats and protective measuresThe unique lifestyle of the koala has helped it prosper, but today the cute and iconic creature is facing threats from habitat loss, disease and a changing climate. Koala populations are expected to decline by 50 percent in the next 20 years, according to the Australian Museum.To help protect these animals, which brings in an estimated $1.1 billion to Australia each year through koala-related tourism, an international team of researchers has published the first complete genome（基因组）of the koala. Their hope is that the keys to the marsupial’s（有袋动物）long-term survival might be planted in itsgenetic code.“T he ultimate goal is that we won’t have to…rescue them from the edge of extinction,”said Rebecca Johnson of the Australian Museum Research Institute in Sydney, who led the work.“Now we have a really good understanding of the koala genome, and we are in a fantastic position to use that knowledge to help us manage them.”Early findingsAn elementary analysis of the koala’s genome, published in Nature Genetics, has already yielded some interesting findings.For example, the authors found that, compared to other mammals, the koala’s DNA includes an expansion in the number of genes that encode for enzymes involved in anti-poison. That allows them to have a diet that depends almost entirely on eucalyptus leaves which are unusually high in poison. However, it also means that koalas metabolize（代谢）medicines like anti-chlamydia antibiotics faster than other animals.The koala genome also revealed why koalas are such famously picky eaters. They are known to consume leaves from just 20 of Australia’s 60 known eucalyp tus species. And even when they are in one of their preferred trees, koalas take leaf selection very seriously.Information waiting to be discoveredJohnson said that the information encoded in the koala’s DNA is already being included in management strategies by conservation groups. However, she said the findings described in the new paper represent the early stages of what can be g leamed from the marsupial’s genome.“The data is public, and I would love for anyone to start mining it and see what other amazing things they can find,” she said. “Once you have a genome of this quality, the sky’s the limit with what you can do with it.”63. What can be concluded from the passage?A. The research on the Koala’s DNA has prevented its extinction successfully.B. Scientists are trying to rescue Koalas by providing more eucalyptus leaves.C. Koala’s extinction is being controlled effectively in Australia.D. Scientists are trying to find a way based on Koala’s gene to save them.64. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Koalas can digest poisonous leaves thanks to their gene.B. Koalas are particular about leaves because of their taste.C. Koalas are being extinct just due to human’s activities.D. Koalas will move to other continents in order to survive.65. “T he sky’s the limit” in the last sentence most probably means ______.A. The sky is the restrictionB. The sky is too high to reachC. There is no limitD. There is no possibility66. The passage is mainly about ______.A. Koala - a Special Creature in AustraliaB. scientific research on KoalasC. scientific efforts to save the KoalasD. Koalas’ Characters and Prefer encehttps:///science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-koala-genome-20180702-story.htmlSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentences can be used onlyCan just one person make a difference? You bet! In a community every person counts, and getting involved is not difficult. Take stock of your own talents and interests. ___67___. Don’t wait for someone else to act first. Take the initiative! Once you see what you can accomplish, you’ll want to keep going.Here are just a few ways to make a difference in your community. How many more ways can you come up with?Clean up the community. People often throw litter in places where there is already litter. And the problem only becomes worse until someone gets fed up and does something. Could your neighborhood use a cleanup? Neighborhood cleanups are often sponsored by local businesses or schools. But if your community doesn’t have a cleanup program, get together with friends to organize one. You could pick up garbage in a larger area twice a year, or you could clean a smaller area every few months. ___68___.Include the isolated. Do you know anyone who is housebound? Almost all neighborhoods have a few people who have to stay at their homes. These people are often elderly and unable to leave their homes to perform simple tasks. ___69___. By letting them “b orrow” your legs and eyes, you can make them feel included. You can run errands for them like shopping or paying bills. They might like you to read to them if their eyesight is failing. Governments provide some of the services these people need, but programs cannot give them friendship; that’s what communities are for!___70___. Reading clubs are popular all over Europe and North America. Members might read at home to prepare for discussion, or they might read aloud to each other and talk about what they just read. Either way, abook or article can spark lively discussion and this often challenges people to take action.Ⅳ. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Small businesses hold the key to employee happiness. As the calendar flips to another year, many employees will consider starting the new year on the hunt for a new job.In today’s changing workforce, it is more important than ever for companies to realize that a salary alone is no longer enough to attract or retain strong employees.According to a survey by Aflac, small businesses deserve a round of applause for their ability to keep employees happy. The report found that 85 percent of small-business employees are happy in their current job, and more than half (51 percent) agree that most or all of their happiness in their current job is a result of working for a small business.Nearly a quarter of participants (23 percent) state that the feeling of importance was the best part of working for a small business. Small businesses have the unique ability to make employees feel appreciated, respected and valued on a personal and professional level.In a small-business environment, there are typically fewer layers between newcomers and leadership. This tight-knit structure can create a family-like atmosphere that allows employees to feel that their opinions matter and that they play a significant role in the business’s mission.Flexibility is also vital in creating employee happiness. According to the report, 30 percent of the respondents noted that flexible scheduling was the best part of working for a small business. A workplace that promotes healthy work-life balance can create happier, less stressed employees and can also increase productivity.Although small businesses excel at keeping employees happy, there is always room for improvement. In a small-business community, money does not seem to be the only motivator. In fact, 65 percent of small-business employees indicate that an improvement in their benefits offerings would make them happier.By offering a great benefits plan than includes voluntary benefits, small businesses can ensure that their employees are able to find the right benefits to meet their individual needs.__________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________/articles/article/small-businesses-hold-the-key-to-employee-happiness.aspxⅤ.

Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.Even though DEET remains the most commonly used, and most powerful, mosquito repellent ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.In his lab atIowaStateUniversity, Dr. Joel Coats and his team have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection, and they are called “spatial” repellents, since they act through space. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, and houses. The other group are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; collaborators at the USDA-ARS and BioGents have conducted testing with humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable, with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.4. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 1?A. The way mosquitoes spread disease.B. The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness.C. The difficulty of fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes.D. The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes.5. What is a disadvantage of DEET?A. It won’t be effective for long.B. It can’t be applied universally.C. It causes discomfort to the users.D. It greatly harms people’s health.6. What can we learn about the second group of the new repellents?A. They can kill mosquitoes indirectly.B. They are mainly used in the open air.C. They are more effective on human skin.D. They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users.7. What’s the author’s attitude to the new repellents?A. Subjective.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.CBarred owls(大林鸮猫头鹰) are a large species native to eastern North America, but they began moving west at the start of the 20th century. By 1973,large numbers of barred owls had arrived in the western state ofWashington. Later they moved south intoOregonandCalifornia.In parts of thePacific Northwest, the owls are now believed to be causing a drop in the population of a smaller, less aggressive bird: the northern spotted owl. In many ways, the barred owl is the spotted owl's worst enemy. The barred owl has more babies per year and eats the same animals, like squirrels and wood rats. And their numbers are now larger in many parts of the spotted owl's traditional territory.David Wiens is a biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, a federal agency that studies the Earth and its natural resources. He and other officials are doing something unusual to protect spotted owls: killing barred owls. It is a controversial, experimental program. More than 2,400 barred owls have already been shot.Wiens is the son of a well-known bird expert and grew up with the fascination for birds. He has mixed feelings about the program. "It's a little distasteful, I think, to go out killing barred owls to save another owl species," he says. But he adds, “We knew that barred owls were out competing spotted owls and their numbers were growing too fast."To catch barred owls, officials put digital bird callers on the ground. Then they step back and wait as several sounds from the devices fill the air. All of this happens in the dark of night. Barred owls dislike other birds in their territory, so they will fly down and chase other owls out. That is when Wiens and his team try to shoot them.8. What's the main problem with spotted owls?A. They are being starved to death.B. They have more babies each year.C. They are invaded by another bird.D. They are hunted by man.9. Why are barred owls being killed?A. They are eating the spotted owls.B. They are killing each other to survive.C. They are putting the spotted owls in danger.D. They are destroying large areas of forests.10. Why did the officials release the bird sounds?A. To kill barred owls.B. To puzzle barred owls.C. To protect barred owls.D. To frighten barred owls.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Killing One Animal to Save Another.B. Keeping the Balance of Nature.C. Protecting Birds in Danger.D. Preventing Birds from Playing Fair.DThe regular world presented to us by our five senses — you could call it reality 1.0 — is not always the most user-friendly. We get lost in unfamiliar cities; we meet people whose language we don’t understand. So why not try the improved version: augmented reality（AR）or reality 2.0 ? AR technology adds computer-produced images on the real world via a mobile phone camera or special video glasses.Early forms of AR are already here — smart phones can deliver information about nearby ATMs and restaurants and other points of interest. But that’s just the beginning. A few years from now the quantity of information available will have increased hugely. You will not only see that there’s a Chinese restaurant on the next block, but you will be able to see the menu and read reviews of it.This is where the next revolution in computing will take place: in the interface（界面）between the real world and the information brought to us via the Internet. Imagine bubbles floating before your eyes, filled with cool information about anything and everything that you see in front of you.Let’s jump ahead to ten years from now. A person trying to fix a car won’t be reading a book with pictures; he will be wearing a device that projects animated 3D computer graphics onto the equipment under repair, labelling parts and giving step-by-step guidance.The window onto the AR world can be a smart phone or special video glasses. But in ten years’ time these will have been replaced by contact lenses(隐形眼镜) with tiny LEDs, which present something at a readable distance in front of eyes. So a deaf person wearing these lenses will be able to see what people are saying.The question is, while we are all absorbed in our new augmented reality world, how willwe be communicating with each other?12. What is the text mainly about?A. The relationship between reality 1.0 and reality 2.0.B. Different forms of the AR technology.C. The next information technology revolution.D. The popularity of the AR technology.13. Which of the following will AR technology support according to the text?A. To pay for things online conveniently.B. To play online games merrily.C. To offer information efficiently.D. To communicate with others socially.14. What are Contact lenses with tiny LEDs used for?A. Show texts and images.B. Protect people’s eyes.C. Help deaf people communicate.D. Replace smart phone.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the AR technology?A. Indifferent.B. Critical.C. Concerned.D. Favourable.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

body of science suggests some food additives can interfere with a child's hormones， growth and development．Potentially harmful effects of food additives are of special concern for children because they are more sensitive to chemical exposures because they eat and drink more relative to body weight， than adults do and arestill growing and developing． An early injury to their organ systems can have lifelong and permanent consequences．Q： What additives does the statement highlight？A： The additives of most concern， based on rising research evidence cited in the report， include：●Bisphenols， such as BPA， used to harden plastic containers and line metal cans， can act like estrogen（雌激素）in the body which maypotentially change the timing of puberty， decrease fertility， increase body fat and affect the nervous and immune systems． BPA is now banned in baby bottles．●Phthalates， which make plastic and vinyl tubes used in industrial food production flexible， may affect male genital

Australia and a bit bigger than a rabbit，it spends most of its time in eucalyptus trees（桉树），feeding on leaves that are poisonous to nearly every other animal on the planet．The koala sleeps about 22 hours a day and spends the remainder of its time eating and resting． It might spend 10 minutes a day moving， expertssay， usually from one tree to another． It has a soft pad at the end of its spine and extra thick fur on its rear end to make the effort， of sitting more comfortable．Threats and protective measures The unique lifestyle of the koala has helped it prosper， but today the cute and iconic creature is facing threats from habitat loss， disease and a changing climate．Koala populations are expected to decline by 50 percent in the next 20 years according to the Australian Museum．To help protect these animals， which bring in an estimated ＄ billion to Australia each year through koala﹣related tourism， an international team of researchers has published the first complete genome（基因组）of the koala．Their hope is that the keys to the marsupial's（有袋动物）long﹣term survival might be planted in its genetic code．"The ultimate goal is that we won't have to…rescue them from the edge of extinction，"said Rebecca Johnson of the Australian Museum Research Institute in Sydney， who led the work．"Now we have a really good understanding of the koala genome， and we are in a fantastic position to use that knowledge to help us manage them．" Early findingsAn elementary analysis of the koala's genome， published in Nature Genetics， has already yielded some interesting findings．For example， the authors found that， compared to other mammals， the koala's DNA includes an expansion in the number of genes that encode for enzymes involved in anti﹣poison． That allows them to have a diet that depends almost entirely on eucalyplus leaves which are unusually high in poison． However， it also means that koalas metabolize（代谢）medicines like anti﹣chlamydia antibiotics faster than other animals．The koala genome also revealed why koalas are such famously picky eaters． They are known to consume leaves from just 20 of Australia's 60known eucalyplus species． And even when they are in one of their preferred trees，koalas take leaf selection very seriously．Information waiting to be discoveredJohnson said that the information encoded in the koala's DNA is already being included in management strategies by conservation groups． However，she said the findings described in the new paper represent the early stages of what can be gleamed from the marsupial's genome．"The data is public， and I would love for anyone to start mining it and see what other amazing things they can find，"she said．"Once you have a genome of this quality， the sky's the limit with what you can do with it．"（1）What can be concluded from the passage？A． The research on the Koala's DNA has prevented its extinction successfully．B． Scientists are trying to rescue Koalas by providing more eucalyptus leaves．C． Koala's extinction is being controlled effectively in Australia．D． Scientists are trying to find a way based on Koala's gene to save them．（2）According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE？A． Koalas can digest poisonous leaves thanks to their gene．B． Koalas are particular about leaves because of their taste．C． Koalas are being extinct just due to human's activities．D． Koalas will move to other continents in order to survive．（3）"The sky's the limit"in the last sentence most probably means ．A． The sky is the restrictionB． The sky is too high to reachC． There is no limitD． There is no possibility（4）The passage is mainly about ．A． Koala﹣a Special Creature in AustraliaB． scientific research on KoalasC． scientific efforts to save the KoalasD． Koala's Characters and PreferenceSection CDirections：Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentences can be used onlyonce.

In a community every person counts， and getting involved is not difficult． Take stock of your own talents and interests．（1）． Don't wait for someone else to act first． Take the initiative! Once you see what you can accomplish， you'll want to keep going．Here are just a few ways to make a difference in your community． How many more ways can you come up with？Clean up the community． People often throw litter in places where there is already litter． And the problem only becomes worse until someone gets fed up and does something． Could your neighborhood use a cleanup？Neighborhood cleanups are often sponsored by local businesses orschools． But if your community doesn't have a cleanup program， gettogether with friends to organize one． You could pick up garbage in alarger area twice a year，or you could clean a smaller area every fewmonths．（2）Include the isolated． Do you know anyone who is housebound Almost all neighborhoods have a few people who have to stay at their homes． These people are often elderly and unable to leave their homes to perform simple tasks．（3）． By letting them"borrow"your legs and eyes， you can make them feel included． You can run errands for them like shopping or paying bills． They might like you to read to them if their eyesight is failing． Governments provide some of the services these people need， but programs cannot give them friendship； that's what communities are for!（4）． Reading clubs are popular all over Europe and North America． Members might read at home to prepare for discussion， or they might read aloud to each other and talk about what they just read． Either way， a book or article can spark lively discussion and this oftenchallenges people to take action．Ⅳ.

out fruit that's too old．To avoid that situation，they bake ripe fruit like berries and bananas for 15 minutes at 175 degrees C．Then they freeze it overnight．After that，they place the fruit in plastic bags and store it their freezer for later use．Now any millennials only eat at restaurants that have excellent food﹣waste policies．These servants use every part of the vegetables they buy，including their stems and roots，in dishes．They also use beef，chicken and pork bones to make their own stock．Millennials also reduce food waste by only buying what they require．Before going to a market，they

additives regulatory system，including updating the scientific foundation of the U．S．Food and Drug Administrations safety assessment retesting all previously approved chemicals．Leonard Trasande ，the author of the policy statement，to tell us more about theseconcerns．Q：What are the growing number of studies showing us？A：Over the past two decades，an accumulating body of science suggests some food additives can interfere with a child's hormones，growth and development．Potentially harmful effects of food additives are of special concern for children because they are more sensitive to chemical exposures because they eat and drink more relative to body weight，than adults do and are still growing and developing．An early injury to their organ systems can have lifelong and permanent consequences．Q：What additives does the statement highlight？A：The additives of most concern，based on rising research evidence cited in the report，include：●Bisphenols，such as BPA，used to harden plastic containers and line metal cans，can act like estrogen（雌激素）in the body which may potentially change the timing of puberty，decrease fertility，increase body fat and affect the nervous and immune systems．BPA is now banned in baby bottles．●Phthalates，which make plastic and vinyl tubes used in industrial food production flexible，may affect male genital development increase childhood obesity and

spends most of its time in eucalyptus trees（桉树），feeding on leaves that are poisonous to nearly every other animal on the planet．The koala sleeps about 22 hours a day and spends the remainder of its time eating and resting．It might spend 10 minutes a day moving，experts say，usually from one tree to another．It has a soft pad at the end of its spine and extra thick fur on its rear end to make the effort，of sitting more comfortable．Threats and protective measures The unique lifestyle of the koala has helped it prosper，but today the cute and iconic creature is facing threats from habitat loss，disease and a changing climate．Koala populations are expected to decline by 50 percent in the next 20 years according to the Australian Museum．To help protect these animals，which bring in an estimated ＄1.1 billion to Australia each year through koala﹣related tourism，an international team of researchers has published the first complete genome（基因组）of the koala．Their hope is that the keys to the marsupial's（有袋动物）long﹣term survival might be planted in its genetic code．"The ultimate goal is that we won't have to…rescue them from the edge of extinction，"said Rebecca Johnson of the Australian Museum Research Institute in Sydney，who led the work．"Now we have a really good understanding of the koala genome，and we are in afantastic position to use that knowledge to help us manage them．"Early findingsAn elementary analysis of the koala's genome，published in Nature Genetics，has already yielded some interesting findings．For example，the authors found that，compared to other mammals，the koala's DNA includes an expansion in the number of genes that encode for enzymes involved in anti﹣poison．That allows them to have a diet that depends almost entirely on eucalyplus leaves which are unusually high in poison．However，it also means that koalas metabolize（代谢）medicines like anti﹣chlamydia antibiotics faster than other animals．The koala genome also revealed why koalas are such famously picky eaters．They are known to consume leaves from just 20 of Australia's 60 known eucalyplus species．And even when they are in one of their preferred trees，koalas take leaf selection very seriously．Information waiting to be discoveredJohnson said that the information encoded in the koala's DNA is already being included in management strategies by conservation groups．However，she said the findings described in the new paper represent the early stages of what can be gleamed from the marsupial's genome．"The data is public，and I would love for anyone to start mining it and see what other amazing things they can find，"she said．"Once you have a genome of this quality，the sky's the limit with what you can do with it．"（1）What can be concluded from the passage？A．The research on the Koala's DNA has prevented its extinction successfully．B．Scientists are trying to rescue Koalas by providing more eucalyptus leaves．C．Koala's extinction is being controlled effectively in Australia．D．Scientists are trying to find a way based on Koala's gene to save them．（2）According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE？A．Koalas can digest poisonous leaves thanks to their gene．B．Koalas are particular about leaves because of their taste．C．Koalas are being extinct just due to human's activities．D．Koalas will move to other continents in order to survive．（3）"The sky's the limit"in the last sentence most probably means．A．The sky is the restrictionB．The sky is too high to reachC．There is no limitD．There is no possibility（4）The passage is mainly about．A．Koala﹣a Special Creature in AustraliaB．scientific research on KoalasC．scientific efforts to save the KoalasD．Koala's Characters and PreferenceSection CDirections：Complete the following passage by using the sentences

In a community every person counts，and getting involved is not difficult．Take stock of your own talents andinterests．（1）．Don't wait for someone else to act first．Take the initiative! Once you see what you can accomplish，you'll want to keep going．Here are just a few ways to make a difference in your community．How many more ways can you come up with？Clean up the community．People often throw litter in places where there is already litter．And the problem only becomes worse until someone gets fed up and does something．Could your neighborhood use a cleanup？Neighborhood cleanups are often sponsored by local businesses or schools．But if your community doesn't have a cleanup program，get together with friends to organize one．You could pick up garbage in a larger area twice a year，or you could clean a smaller area every few months．（2）Include the isolated．Do you know anyone who is housebound？Almost all neighborhoods have a few people who have to stay at their homes．These people are often elderly and unable to leave their homes to perform simple tasks．（3）．By letting them"borrow"your legs and eyes，you can make them feel included．You can run errands for them like shopping or paying bills．They might like you to read to them if their eyesight is failing．Governments provide some of the services these people need，but programs cannot give them friendship；that's what communities are for!（4）．Reading clubs are popular all over Europe and North America．Members might read at home to prepare for discussion，or they might read aloud to each other and talk about what they just read．Either way，a book or article can spark lively discussion and this often challenges people to take action．Ⅳ.
