Charles Darwin was born into a family of thinkers. His father was a Fellow of the Royal Society （the elite circle of top British scientists），his mother was the daughter of Josiah Wedgwood，the man who founded the famous Wedgwood Potteries，and his grandfather，Erasmus Darwin，was a famous physician，thinker and philosopher who，like his grandson，spent much time studying the evolution of life.After a childhood in the town of Shrewsbury，where he was educated at the Grammar School，Darwin went up to Edinburgh University to study medicine and natural history. When he was eighteen，he left Edinburgh and went to Cambridge University，planning to enter the church，but he was more interested in science than in religion and later he abandoned theology.Shortly after graduating from Cambridge，he got a job as a naturalist on the ship H. M. S. Beagle，which was about to start on a scientific and cartographic（地图的）survey of the South American coast. The journey started in December 1831 and was to last almost five years，during which time he collected considerable documentation.Darwin was struck by the animals of the south seas，particularly by the tortoises he found on the Galapagos Islands，a group of Pacific Islands. The Galapagos tortoises，Darwin observed，differed from island to island，and this，he inferred，showed different forms of evolution，since the animals obviously came from the same origins. Darwin was also struck by the iguanas（蜥蜴）he found，and observed that those which lived in water had heads suitable for finding food among stones，while those that lived on land had a sharper head，more fit for a herbivorous（食草的）animal.Darwin developed his theory of evolution，but it was not until 1859 that he actually published it. It was instantly seen as a great milestone in scientific thought，and attracted violent argument all over Europe. Many found fault in it，and Darwin spent the rest of his life improving his theory in the light of other people's observations.1. What is the purpose of para.1？A．To honour his family.B．To increase his popularity.C．To show his family's influence on him.D．To highlight his family's contributions.2. What did Darwin end up studying at Cambridge University？A．Science. B．Theology. C．Medicine. D．Natural history.3. Why were the iguanas different from island to islandA．Because of their types. B．Because of their habitats.C．Because of their foods. D．Because of their origins.4. What can be learned about Darwin's theory of evolution？A．He felt quite content with it. B．He published it once finished.C．It caused a worldwide disagreement. D．It was a great breakthrough in science.3. Dolphins are universally regarded as some of the cleverest creatures in the world. In captivity (圈养), they can be trained to complete complex tasks such as jumping through hoops and somersaulting through the air.But their intelligence doesn’t stop there. In a recent study of cetaceans (鲸目动物)—a group of animals that includes dolphins and whales—researchers created a list of intelligent behaviors observed in 90 different cetacean species, reported the Guardian. For example, the smartest cetaceans hunt in groups, share knowledge through mimicry (模仿) and even care for each other’s children. Some even consider their behavior to be human-like.“There is the saying that‘it takes a village to raise a child’ seems to be true for both whales and humans,” Michael Muthukrishna of the London School of Economics, co-author of the study, told the Guardian.However, cetaceans don’t just use their brain power for survival. The st udy suggests that dolphins might even gossip. That’s because some species greet each other with specific whistles, just as humans greet each other by name, the Guardian reported. Sometimes, a group of dolphins whistles the “name” of a dolphin that isn’t there. Could they be speaking about their “friend” behind its back? For the researchers, dolphin small talk is a big deal. As they found that the most social cetaceans also have the largest brains, they argue that cetacean intelligence developed to meet the demands of complex social groups.Known as the “cultural brain hypothesis (假设),” it had only been used to explain the intelligence of humans and other primates (灵长目动物). The new study aimed to find a common pathway for the evolution of intelligence among biologically different species.“It is interesting to think that whale and human brains are different in their structure but have brought us to the same patterns in behavior,” Luke Rendell, a biologist at the University of St Andrews, told the Guardian.Indeed, we still have a lot to learn about our intelligent ocean-dwelling neighbors. “We don’t have to look at other planets to look for aliens,” Muthukrishna told the Guardian, “because we know that underwater there are these amazing species with so many para llels to us in their complex behaviors.”1. What does the underlined word “gossip” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A．Singing. B．Shouting. C．Chatting. D．Arguing.2. What was the aim of the recent study?A．Learn more about intelligent creatures of the sea.B．Explain the intelligence of humans and cetaceans.C．Create a list of intelligent behaviors of different cetacean species.D．See whether the intelligence of different species evolved in the same way.3. What can be inferred from the passage?A．Some cetaceans have the same intelligence as human beings.B．It is unnecessary to look for aliens and do research into them.C．Both dolphins and whales greet each other with specific whistles.D．Both dolphins and whales have a lot in common with humans in behaviors.4. What is the best title for this passage?A．Aliens living underwater.B．Intelligent creatures of the sea.C．A study of intelligent dolphins.D．Reasons for the intelligence of sea creatures.4. A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of N ASA’s Perseverance rover (漫游者) mission.Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tre e and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. It’s also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen.“This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surfac e of another planet and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” said Jeff Hoffinan, a retired astronaut and professor at MIT.NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie, as they hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars. “We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hof finan said.The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800℃and processed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges. It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably. Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and theteam plan s to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. They say they just want to set everything as high as they dare and make as much oxygen as they can.1. What can we learn about Moxie?A．It works well in a series of tests.B．It is stopped by extreme conditions.C．It aims to purify breathable oxygen.D．It produces oxygen enough for a team.2. What is the author’s purpose by quoting Hoffinan’s words in Paragraph 5?A．To present a plan to further explore Mars.B．To demonstrate Nasa’s ambition to win the game.C．To show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars.D．To highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars.3. Which of the following best describes the team according to the last paragraph?A．Cautious and ambitious. B．Practical and independent.C．Confident and intelligent. D．Courageous and imaginative.4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．A Nasa Mars rover landed successfully.B．Challenges for a human mission to Mars.C．A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward.D．Human beings survive with oxygen made on Mars.5. Tips for Upcoming Senior TwoThe upperclassmen often describe Senior Two in No.7 High as a year with “much more homework, more frequent exams and more fierce competitions”. 1●Manage your time carefully and make the most of it.Try to study not only hard but efficiently. Make a to-do-list for your time after school. Don’t just spend quite a long time on only one subject, especially a science subject. 2 Remember to take breaks when you feel exhausted.●Treat competition in class in a right way.Competition cannot be avoided, but everyone wants to study and live in a friendly environment. Don’t treat your classmates as potential enemies. 3 By helping others solve problems, you inspire others, consolidate your own knowledge and gain lasting friendship.● 4Don’t let your former rankings limit you. What really matters is how you treat exams and rankings. Forget the class or grade rankings, but compete with yourself. In a while, you will see yourself climbing in scores and rankings.All in all, the coming new school year is sure to be full of challenges. Too much worry only adds to your difficulties in your development. 5 Wish you the best of luck in the new academic year in No.7 High!6. “I’m going to tell you a story,” I tell my class of high school seniors. “It’s a tale about love.

The northern and otherwise-serene Alaskan village of Kaktovik （4）______ a major boom in tourism last year, as over 2，000 people appeared on its lightly（5）______ gravel（砂砾）and snowy streets. Until earlier in the decade, local news reports say, the village had fewer than 50 annual visitors. The main （6）______ now are polar bears, which are being forced into towns by a warming planet and the shrinking Arctic sea ice. All the heating is making it far easier for wildlife （7）______ and effortless bear selfies. Most visitors are reportedly from China, Europe, or the USA，often arriving on fuel-consuming chartered planes.Around the mid 1990s, researchers began （8）______ more female bears denning（筑巢）on land instead of in the ice.

Everest, high in the Himalayans, is the tallest mountain above sea level on Earth. It reaches 8，848 meters into the sky.Between 2006 and 2019，around two thirds of climbers were successful in their attempt to reach the top. In the 15 years before that, only about one-third went all the way to the top. The number of attempts to reach the top of Everest has risen sharply over the years, leading to a 300 percent increase in overcrowding. In 2019，955 climbers tried to reach the mountaintop. Only 222 people did so in 2000.The study noted that on a single day in May of last year, 396 climbers had gathered at the narrow path just below the top. The area, known as the "death zone," is so narrow that only a small number of climbers can pass through, one directly behind another.Nine climbers died on Everest in May 2019. It was the deadliest Everest climbing season since 2015 when an earthquake killed at least 18 people on the mountain.A picture of climbers waiting their turn to go up and down through the death zone became famous as it was shared online. Yet researchers say the crowds were not the main reason for the deaths last year."Surprisingly crowding has no evident effect on success or death" of Everest climbers, the study said.However, overcrowding does make the climb more dangerous."If crowding slows climbers （as is expected），this increases their exposure to the elements, which should increase risk of an accident or illness," said Raymond B. Huey, lead writer of the report.An unexpected storm, earthquake, or landslide could be disastrous, he told Reuters by email. Climbers have expressed concern that was giving anyone willing to pay the government ＄11，000 permission to climb Everest. Nepal plans to change its policy to require climbers to use guides, and meet physical fitness and experience qualifications, said tourism department official Mira Acharya.Nepal temporarily closed its mountains to climbers because of the coronavirus health crisis. Now they are open again. However, Acharya noted that flights into and within Nepal have not restarted.More than 6，000 people have climbed Mount Everest since 1953，when New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers known to reach the top. At least 311 climbers have died trying.20.Supposing 900 people took part in the climbing Mount Everest between 1990 and 2005，how many of them reached the top？______A. 300.B. 400.C. 500.D. 60021.Why does overcrowding make the climbing more dangerous？______A. Because it surprisingly leads to death for those climbers.B. Because it stopped the climbers from reaching the top at the area called "death zone".C. Because it exposes climbers to increasing risk of an accident or illness.D. Because it gets climbers stranded in "death zone" and unable to get further supplies.22.According to the report, what is the possible reason for overcrowding？______A. More people want to experience the climbing to the top of Mount Everest.B. A picture of climbers waiting to reach the top inspires more people to give it a try.C. Nepal government gives climbers permission without restrictions.D. More people want to climb the Mount Everest before Nepal takes restrictions.23.What is the general idea of this passage？______A. Climbers are more likely to lose their lives before Reaching Top of Mount Everest.B. More climbers need to be trained before climbing Mount Everest.C.

Climbers are twice as likely to reach top of Mount Everest than in Past.FThe State-Of-The-Art-Tech Behind Fighting Fires How are today's firefighters dealing with massive wildfires？They're doing it by using the most advanced technology. Whether it's with a modified jumbo jet or innovative thermal（热的）imaging cameras, we take a look at the tech behind fighting some of the world's most overwhelming fires.Teams fighting against the California wildfires used the Global SuperTanker - a modified jumbo jet that carries almost 73，000 liters （19，200 gallons）of fire retardant（阻燃剂）- alongside the S-64 Aircrane heavy-lifting helicopter, which carries 10，000 liters （2，200 gallons）of water.These air tankers are used to put out flames and monitor fire spread through sensors and video feeds coupled to GPS data. Fed into hi-tech computer modelling software, they can help predict the fire's behavior and possible spread patterns. Computer models are able to provide small area coverage only meters wide, mapping territory and airflow. Fires are especially responsive to wind conditions and these tools allow firefighters to determine the passage of flames at ground level.But manned aircrafts need a large investment in maintenance and crew training. Command and control centers are turning to unmanned aircraft to keep costs down and provide additional capabilities. Small quadcopters（四旋翼机）and larger fixed-wing aircraft can fly over fires for much longer periods.Smoke can cover the ground for days at a time or pose a severe breathing risk to air crews - However, this is not a problem for drones. Onboard high definition, infrared（红外辐射的）and thermal imaging cameras can provide direction to ground teams, spot vital infrastructure （including power or water lines），and identify dangerous or flammable objects.Infrared and thermal cameras can see through smoke to monitor ground teams and let them know when conditions change. Unmanned aircraft can provide aerial images, heat maps, and temperature scales of fire zones. Specialist drones can even carry hoses to less accessible areas. In the future, swarms of autonomous drones could be used to track wildfires and spot fire spread.Thermal imaging technology has become widespread and less expensive to use. Handheld cameras and devices that attach to smartphones allow firefighters to see through smoke and find active fire hotspots, or undergrowth that is burning without producing smoke. Identifying these hotspots allows crews to target the most active and dangerous parts of a wildfire and divert manpower to tackle it more effectively.Augmented reality helmets that include breathing appliance alongside computer vision-aided displays are adding to the ground team's capabilities. Thermal cameras inside the helmets mean that firefighters can operate in environments completely obscured by smoke. At the same time, they can wirelessly transmit information on what is happening at the frontline to command andcontrol points.Robots are also making a difference. The Smokebot was developed by a Swedish university to assist fire and rescue services. It collects data in environments with reduced visibility using radar, a laser scanner,a thermal camera and gas sensors. Smokebot can help in forest fire situations mapping large areas filled with dust or smoke, where it is too risky to send in rescue personnel.Earth-observing satellites commonly detect wildfires in wilderness areas. Their cameras and remote sensors are used to estimate the fire's evolution and provide situational awareness that saves lives.The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite（VIIRS）onboard the Suomi NPP satellite gives near real-time data to NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System（FIRMS）on active fires across the world.Finally, to get the bigger picture on fire tracking and monitoring,the US Forest Service and US Geological Survey uses data from the Landsat Earth-observing satellites. Data gathered from every major fire in the country since 1984 has been fed into computer models to help predict and prevent wildfires.24.What does the underlined "they"，in the third paragraph, refer to？______A. Current firefighters tackling massive wildfires.B. The modified jumbo jets and art thermal imaging cameras.C. The data gained from sensors and video feeds, plus GPS information.D. The air tankers used to put out flames and monitor fire spread.25.Which of the following is not the advantages of drones over manned aircrafts in tacklingmassive wildfires？______A. Drones don't need much fuel when putting out wildfires and identifying the causes offires.B. Less money is needed in training crews when drones are available.C. Drones won't come across any breathing problems when in work.D. Drones needs much less investment in maintenance.26.Which of the following advanced technologies is not mentioned in the passage？______A. Swarms of autonomous drones used to extinguish wildfires from air.B. AR helmets with breathing appliance alongside computer vision-aided.C. Drones with high definition, infrared and thermal imaging cameras onboard.D. Earth-observing satellites equipped with cameras and remote sensors.27.Which of the following statements about Smokebot is true？______A. It was created by a Swiss university to assist fire and rescue services.B. It can help to send rescue personnel to a fire spot.C. It can help draw a map of large areas and fill the regions with dust or smoke.D. It collects data using advanced technology where visibility is reduced due to fires.If you want to make sure that you understand this story as fully as possible, you might consider printing the article and reading it on paper. That is one of the findings of a recent study of research done on the differences between paper and screen reading.Virginia Clinton, a professor of Education, Health and Behavior at the University of North Dakota, carried out the research examination. She found what she called a "small but significant" difference in reading text from screen versus paper.Clinton's examination found that reading from paper generally led to better understanding and improved a person's performance on tests connected to the reading material. And, she found no major differences in reading speed between the two. （1）______Such differences were notable only when the reading materials were expositive texts-- or explanatory and based on fact. Clinton said she found no major difference when it came to narrative, fictional texts.Clinton also found that paper readers usually have a higher recognition of how well they have understood a text than screen readers. This skill is called metacognition. （2）______ "Metacognition" simply means thinking about one's own thinking.Clinton and other researchers have found screen readers often believe they understand a textbetter than they really do. And, they are more likely than paper readers to overestimate how well they would do on a test of the materials they have read.She said, "We think that we're reading the story or the book better than we actually are. We think we understand what we are reading better than how we are actually reading."Yet, this inflated sense of understanding, or overconfidence, is especially common among screen readers.There are many possible reasons for such findings. Overconfidence of screen readers,for example,could be the result of a distracted, less focused mind.（3）______ Research shows the majority of people --of all ages -- prefer reading from paper. But, if someone prefers screen reading to paper reading, that person's understanding of the material is not likely to suffer. Clinton said, "If you are enjoying the reading process, you're going to be more involved. You're going to be paying better attention. Preferences are a key issue here."（4）______ "If you are reading from paper, your mind thinks, 'This is something important.I need to pay attention to it'，" Clinton said.Although her findings may support paper reading over screen reading, Clinton says she does not believe screen reading should be avoided.Instead, she points to new and developing tools that can be used to improve a screen reader's understanding and focus.28.

Use your own words as far as possible.Things to Do After You Study Many students study with little thought about what comes after their study session. But what you do after studying could have an effect on how well you learn and remember new information. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning：wakeful rest and sleep.When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Butresearch suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studied.The basic idea is this：by reducing your activity after the study session, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you have too much stimulation from electronic devices, games, lights and so on.While this might sound unusual to you,many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning - what is called "wakeful rest." A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember, or recollect, information from prose passages after doing wakeful rest. The findings appeared in Neuroscience Letters. This studyinvolved 45 younger people and 40 elderly adults."Wakeful resting led to higher overall recollection in both age groups," the researchers noted. If you want to give "wakeful rest"a try,here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look atyour phone, read stories or play games. Just limit the amount of stimulation you get. It is really that easy!In addition to wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school's website explains that "a sleep-deprived person cannot focusattention optimally and therefore cannot learn efficiently." It also says,"sleep itself has a role in the consolidation of memory,which is essential for learning new information."Robert Stickgold, a doctor and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School, noted that new memories can be hard to keep. "When we first form memories, they're in a very raw and fragile form," he said. Sleep is important for forming memories.Now you have two suggestions for how to learn new information. Try to get some"wakeful rest" after a study session. Then try to get a good night's sleep. That's a simple way to help you remember what you learn.33.难道发展中国家不能举办世界博览会吗？（host）______34.今天我做了别人不愿做的事情，明天我就能做到别人做不到的事情。
